News — In what has become an annual June ritual, South Frontenac Township honoured four volunteers with a luncheon and ceremony last week in Sydenham.

This year’s Volunteers of the Year are Linda Bates, Eileen Sleeth, Rachel Smith-Tryon and Wilma Kenny.

Bates is well known in Verona, having served in many capacities with the Verona Community Association. She has been active in the Boy Scouts for 41 years and currently past president with the Women’s Institute of Sydenham.

She has donated many volunteer hours to Southern Frontenac Community Services, was on the committee for County of Frontenac 150th Anniversary celebrations and helped a community in Haiti recover from the devastating earthquake a few years ago.

“I started out as a Brownie visiting seniors and now I’m back doing that again,” she said. “But I’d like to accept this award on behalf of all the volunteers across the Township.

“Nobody does it all by themselves.”

A life-long resident of Battersea and Sunbury, Sleeth is known by many as the lady who drove their school bus for more than 40 years. But she has been active in a myriad of causes, including almost every thing Battersea United Church has done, secretary for the Holstein Federation, hosting exchange students from France and even being named Apple Pie Queen at the Battersea Pumpkin Festival.

“I’ve enjoyed my life in Battersea,” she said. “And I’ll probably be able to do more volunteering in the coming years.”

Smith-Tryon has been involved in numerous activities in the Harrowsmith area, including Family Day, Canada Day, Movie in the Park and the Harrowsmith School Council Executive.

South Frontenac organizational review returns with emphasis on planning issues News — To the casual observer, it might be confusing trying to fathom exactly what happened at last week’s regular South Frontenac Council meeting in Sydenham regarding CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr’s Organizational Report.

After all, the majority of the report was shot down at the previous Council meeting.

But, even though it required a twothirds majority of Council votes to bring it back to the table, there it was again.

Just about every councilor had

something to say on it but it appeared they all agreed that Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth’s office should remain where it is on Keeley Road.

After that, there was very little agreement, including what to do next.

But, although nobody seemed to have any stomach for a complete realignment that would include hiring people for several top level jobs, there were several councilors who saw a need to do something that would give the Township the final say for approving subdivisions and plans of condominiums. And that would require

Frontenac County Council’s approval.

One of Orr’s recommendations was the creation of a Development Services Manager position, whose job description would include “responsibility for preparing South Frontenac to be ready responsibility for approval of subdivisions and condominiums.”

“I wouldn’t have a problem with this going to the Corporate Services committee to discuss how big this job would be,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal.

“The County wouldn’t even look at it (transferring approval authority) if we’re not prepared.”

South Frontenac honours its Volunteers of the Year Continued from page 1

But despite all her other activities she is probably best known for her involvement with the Frontenac Soccer Association, having served as coach, convener and registrar, a key position.

For the past four years, she has also been known as Jewel, 1st Sydenham Spark Unit Contact Guider with Girl Guides Canada.

“I think it’s important to say that I’m only a member of these organizations, only a part of something bigger,” she said. “And I think it’s important to make opportunities for our kids to do fun things.”

Is there anything going on the Sydenham area Kenny hasn’t had a hand in?

She played an instrumental role is the creation

of Sydenham’s Meadowbrook and Maple Ridge Seniors apartments. She was a driving force in transforming the old United Church in the Grace Centre, even to the point of providing quilts depicting the area’s history for the inside. For many years she was the editor of The Triangle newspaper, still writes for a local newspaper and is a mainstay of the South Frontenac Writer’s Group, helped bring a new library to Sydenham as a member of the Library Board and helped produce a historical walking tour guide of Sydenham.

Hell, she was even Mayor Ron Vandewal’s baby sitter years ago.

“I’ve just returned from five days in Toronto which reconfirmed my belief that we’re very lucky to live here,” she said. “And I’m very touched to receive this award.”

“After thinking about it and looking at some of the work that would need to get done, I think we should discuss it some more,” said Coun. Ron Sleeth.

“But I don’t think there’s any need to immediately move forward.”

“I also feel some concern and I suspect there will be some changes in the County’s position,” said Coun. Alan Revill. “But I’m reluctant to support the hiring of any more staff.”

“We’re potentially looking at putting the cart before the horse,” said Coun. Mark Schjerning. “If the County approves granting authority, then we

should look at this.”

“We’re not presently in a position to take on planning for subdivisions and condos,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “We’d have to take that step.

“I wouldn’t blame the County if they said no right now.”

Coun. John McDougall said that perhaps more could be accomplished if a smaller group, like Corporate Services, had a look at it and reported back.

Council passed a resolution to refer the matter to Corporate Services for recommendations.

Please be advised that ourWaste Management Bylaw states that it is unlawful to leave your garbage out prior to 7 am on the day of collection unless it is in a proper container out of the reach of animals. Have aWonderful Canada Day, Have Fun, Keep Safe and Remember to Recycle!

VACATIONING IN SOUTH FRONTENAC?

Nothing can compare to a week at the lake and in South Frontenac we have an abundance of clear lakes, beautiful trails and great cycling. The one thing that can dampen your vacation is the unsightly mess of a can or plastic bag floating by or the sounds of wildlife munching happily on garbage that was not properly disposed of. We hope you enjoy your stay but ask that you please regard our Garbage and Recycling policies. Dumping garbage at the side of the road or at the gates of a landfill on a Sunday night is not only unacceptable, it creates a huge problem for Township staff when their time could be better spent elsewhere.

Whether you are a cottage owner, renter or day tripper, please become familiar with collection dates and locations. By all means, take your memories with you but please don’t leave your garbage behind!

Any questions; contact Solid Waste Management at 613 376-3027 X 4330

GARBAGE & RECYCLING – A FEW DEGREES OF SEPARATION They don‘t like each other so please don’t put them together! As there is one truck picking up the garbage then another picking up your recycling, we ask that there be a few feet of separation between them. A recycle box hidden behind garbage bags may not be seen or vice versa. A bag of garbage being set on top of a recycle bin may be misconstrued as someone forgot the rule about no bagged recycling and left.When your garbage or recycling has been left, please ask yourself why would it have been left? If we all follow the simple guidelines of collection, it will make everyone’s job easier.

Remediation efforts before building “the way it’s supposed to happen” says Mayor

By Craig Bakay

News — South Frontenac Council voted to remove an “H” from a Sydenham Lake waterfront property following reports that remediation efforts have been sufficient for development to proceed.

The lot was created in 2007 with strict conditions (mandated by the Ontario Municipal Board) that mature tree growth on the shoreline be maintained to prevent erosion on the steep embankment within 30 metres of the lake.

However the owner had brought in heavy equipment to create a roadway as well as a level sitting area.

That led to the “H” symbol being

placed on the site plan agreement, meaning no further development could take place until the situation had been rectified to the Township’s satisfaction.

“I think this is a perfect example of what’s supposed to happen,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “They broke the site plan agreement and we went in and stopped them.”

Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland wasn’t convinced that the situation had been remediated but his motion to return the matter to planning was defeated.

“I believe the situation has been corrected as much as possible,” said Coun. Pat Barr.

Planner/Dep. Clerk Lindsay Mills

said that the Township had received a letter from the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority on May 30 of this year stating that they are satisfied with the works that have been completed and that they have no further concerns.

“Remediation work appears to have been completed on the property as much as can be expected,” Mills said in his report. “The access way that was constructed to the water now constitutes only a narrow pathway that is overgrown naturally and which has been further stabilized by the owner with plantings.

“Also, the gouged-out portion of the land (which may have been the most offensive action in relation to

the efforts to keep the embankment natural) has been restored.”

••• Council amended its bylaw to allow the creation of three new waterfront lots on Canoe Lake following a review by Ontario Lake Assessments.

The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority had requested a 60-metre setback from the water for building on all three lots. Upon review, a 45-metre setback on one lot and the traditional 30-metre setback on the other two lots were deemed sufficient.

A proposal to accept land adjacent to the lots in lieu of parkland reserve fees was rejected, however.

There is a narrow strip of sandy beach along James Wilson Road that

has been used for swimming by the public but Council decided not to take the land, thereby increasing the beach area because of a potential danger to swimmers posed by an underwater hydro cable and the potential for parking problems posed by the curvature of the road in the area.

••• Despite his support of prison farms, Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland removed himself from the discussion and vote for South Frontenac to officially get behind reinstatement of prison farms in the area because of a potential conflict of interest.

Sutherland’s explanation for his moving away from the Council desk?

“I own one of the cows,” he said.

Great opportunity for Kingston Penitentiary to be used as movie studio

By Jeff Scott

Kingston Penitentiary has been a landmark in Kingston since 1835. It was built out of limestone with great skill by British engineers and stonemasons with the help of local convict labour. As a prison goes, it is quite a handsome if forbidding place. It was known to be a progressive prison when it opened and an oppressive prison when it closed in 2013. It has held some of our most infamous prisoners such as Paul Bernardo, Clifford Olson, Russell Williams and Grace Marks, who was the subject of a novel by Margaret Atwood called Alias Grace. During its 178 years of operation the prison has also been the scene of brutal riots, which were put down by the local troops. The presence of the military in Kingston was the reason the prison was built here in the first place. With all of the history that has occurred in this prison, it is no wonder that it was declared a National Historic Site in 1990.

This historic designation has now created a problem for Kingston because we have to figure out what to do with a sprawling former prison which cannot be demolished and which cannot be changed. I got to go on a tour of the prison, which left me grateful that it had been closed. I felt ashamed that we had still been keeping prisoners in such a cold, depressing prison, which had been built at the start of the Victorian era.

Behind the prison walls it is a fascinating place. There are stone administration buildings, family-visit cottages, a hospital and well-kept gardens. The main prison building was built in the panopticon style with one central post where a guard can see down every wing without the inmates knowing they were being watched. The rear building, which housed the workshops, has a massive atrium with a grand double staircase made out of cut limestone.

There are also several newer buildings within the walls, which were used in the day-to-day operations of the complex.

Now to the issue of what to do with the former prison. We have already started giving tours of the site, which I highly recommend taking. It has been suggested that we turn it into a fulltime tourist attraction but it has been pointed out that, although Canadians want to see Kingston Penitentiary, no one else does. Alcatraz by comparison is known around the world and has the added bonus of only being accessible by a ferry ride across the fantastically scenic San Francisco Bay. I would definitely recommend that Kingston Pen remain as a tourist site, but there is also a great opportunity here to use the site as a movie studio. It is amazing how many prison movies have been made over time. I did a quick Google search and found 55 of them.

Some of the bet-

ter known ones are “Dead Man Walking,” with Sean Penn; “The Fugitive,” with Harrison Ford; “The Green Mile,” with Tom Hanks; and “The Shawshank Redemption,” with Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. “The Shawshank Redemption” was filmed in the Ohio State Reformatory just before it was torn down. A more recent movie was the prison musical, “Chicago,” which could not be filmed in Chicago where historic buildings were scarce but Toronto where they had been preserved.

Scenes from this movie were filmed at Old City Hall, Queen’s Park, The Distillery District and the Elgin Theatre. Ironically, they did not shoot any scenes in an actual prison because the Don Jail had been converted to a hospital administration building.

Kingston could easily have been the location for the filming of that movie using City Hall, The County Court House, The Grand Theatre and Kingston Penitentiary. Also, the film crew would not have had to shut down a single street. Kingston Pen isn’t limited to being the set for a prison movie. It could also be the scene of any historical movie, because behind the walls are the administration building, the conjugal visit houses and the grand atrium in the workshops building.

Movies have huge budgets these days. The movie “Crimson Peak” fea-

tured a scene of Market Square for only a few minutes, yet the filming brought a lot of money into the City. In fact, the entire movie could have been filmed in Kingston if they had used the grounds of Kingston Pen. Many of the movies that I have already mentioned had large budgets with “The Green Mile” alone costing $60 million.

We should continue to offer tours of the prison, but we should seriously market the prison and Kingston as the studio for historic movies that may not even be centred around a prison. In fact, it was already used in the movie “Super Man”.

Column — For those of you who don’t know who Ray Kurzweil is, he’s the guy who invented the flatbed scanner, multi-font optical character recognition, text-to-speech synthesis for the blind and speech recognition technology.

He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has written several books, and has been described as “the ultimate thinking machine” by Forbes Magazine and a “restless genius” by the Wall Street Journal.

In other words, when this guy talks about computer stuff, people listen.

Well, what he’s been talking about recently is what came out of his 2006 book, The Singularity is Near, in which he describes a ‘technological singularity’ meaning a point where technological progress is so rapid, it outstrips humanity’s ability to comprehend it.

In other words, the computers get smarter than we are.

This singularity was supposed to happen in 2045.

However, Kurzweil, along with other other super-smart guys like Stephen Hawking, Neil Tyson and Michio Kaku, are starting to revise that timeline, predicting that the singularity could come within 10-12 years.

Look at it this way, currently our smartest robots are about equal to a cockroach in being able to think. In a decade, however, they’ll be smarter than us.

The question is, what will artificial intelligences do with their smarts?

Consider this, there have been projects that have, in effect, taught robots how to lie.

And military brain-trusts around the world have expressed interest in teaching drones similar skills in case they are captured by hostile forces in order to prevent them from giving up secrets like where they were launched from.

If this doesn’t scare the hell out of you, you probably don’t understand the situation.

Now Kurzweil, and some other equally smart people seem to think that all of this could be a good thing, as microprocessors the size of blood cells could be implanted in human bodies giving us the capacity to keep up by putting all of human knowledge at our

brains’ disposal.

Keep in mind that it wasn’t that long ago that people like the Gettys, the Fords, the Firestones and the Rockefellers thought it would be a good idea to burn fossil fuels with reckless abandon.

What nobody advocating continuation of the current microprocessors advancement seems to put much thought into is: when machines gain the ability to think, what are they going to think about us?

Do we think much about the aforementioned cockroaches before setting out a roach motel?

Now obviously this topic has been explored by numerous science fiction authors and film-makers. Clearly the powers that be (i.e. the tech nerds that make robots and computers) must have seen the Terminator movies and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Now this isn’t some Shaker, Quaker or Ludite philosophy.

This is more like the North/South American native populations meeting European technology a few centuries ago. That didn’t work out so well for the First Nations now did it?

When John Prine sang “blow up your TV,” did he know more than we did?

A reader and writer’s dream expo craft. Their works are as mesmerizing through their wordsmith skills as by the plot and character development.

These authors have created some of the most fascinating sleuths since Sherlock Holmes. For Pintoff it’s early 20th century NYC detective Simon Zeale. Jane Casey brilliantly crafted London detective Maeve Kerrigan. Deaver gave readers NYPD Detective Amelia Sachs and Lincoln Rhyme, a former police detective who is now a police forensic consultant as well as a quadriplegic following an on-the-job accident as a cop. Preston/Child created Aloysius Pendergast, one of the quirkiest and most fascinating F.B.I. agents ever to walk the planet.

Frankly, I’d rather read a good story that captivates me through the night than something by someone who happens to have good vocabulary and no ability to craft a story.

Storytelling is a rare gift.

There will be an abundance of storytellers at the 2016 Limestone Genre Expo.

One of the highlights of the Expo will be the presence of First Nations author Jay Odjick. A writer and artist from Kitigan Zivi Anishinabeg Algonquin Nation in Quebec, Odjick is an executive producer for the Ab-

original People’s Television Network’s (APTN) Kagagi series, based on his Kagagi graphic novel. On July 23, there will be a two-hour moderated (by Derek Newman-Stille) conversation about Kagagi: The Raven Episode 1. The audience will watch the show and then have an opportunity to chat with Odjick.

“We’re excited about having Jay,” said Strange. “And to have Derek Newman-Stille moderate Jay’s session as well as do a workshop is great.

Derek is an Aurora Award winner.”

The Auroras are awarded in the field of Canadian science fiction and fantasy. Newman-Stille is also an artist (painter) and author who trained in anthropology. In a largely visual culture, our other senses are often downplayed. Newman-Stille will explore literary methods that bring all the senses to life.

Other workshops in the Expo include: The Ecology of World-Building with Nina Munteanu, who has worked as senior scientist with environmental consulting firms. She now teaches writing at the University of Toronto and George Brown College. Her fiction uses ecological premises to explore social issues; Setting as Character with Rob Brunet will look at how to craft realistic settings in a story and how a setting can influence a story; in How

to Write Romance Novels & Find Your Market with Mary Sullivan and Ann Lethbridge, participants will be given a glimpse into the romance book world from an industry insider’s perspective.

They’ll also learn how to write and sell in the romance genre.

The Limestone Genre Expo returns to Kingston on July 23 and 24.

Now in its second year, the event has doubled in size and duration from last year’s inaugural program.

The 2016 Expo will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library Central Branch at 130 Johnson Street.

More than 50 genre authors will be on site running workshops, appearing on panels and offering readings.

“It’s bigger than last year,” said Festival Director Liz Strange. “Probably the number one complaint we had last year was that it was only one day long. So with two days this year, we have more authors and publishers coming. There’s something for everyone, whether writers or readers.

There are good workshops for aspiring writers.”

What constitutes genre fiction? Essentially, the genre author appeals to a specific literary interest. Storytelling, rather than word manipulation, is key. Plot is essential. The most popu-

lar genres are mystery, thriller, crime, horror (think Stephen King), science fiction, fantasy (the realm of Harry Potter) and romance. There is also children’s literature and young adult fiction. Each of these categories has numerous sub-genres. For example, there are crime thrillers (The Godfather), dystopian fantasy or YA (Hunger Games), and Gothic romance.

Genre is about good story with writers like Jane Casey, Neil Gaiman, George R.R. Martin, Val McDermid, J.K. Rowling and Yrsa Sigurdardottir.

When you combine good storytelling with elegant and literary writing skills you find authors like Stefanie Pintoff.

Genre is responsible for 90% of fiction sales and has saved the publishing industry from annihilation.

Literary critics have sometimes unfairly criticized genre fiction for being pure escapism. I’ve never understood that criticism. Someone considers this kind of escapism to be a bad thing?

I’m a huge fan of the mystery/ thriller genres and read every Stefanie Pintoff, Jane Casey, Jeffery Deaver and Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child (the pair writes most of their books as joint efforts) novel I can get my hands on. Each of these writers is also highly skilled at the literary

Panel discussions will include diverse issues such as magic and magical systems, horror trends, disability in speculative fiction, what’s happening in science fiction, the feminist journey in science fiction, modern fantasy, the romance market LGBTQ2 identities in speculative fiction, modus operandi, monstrous imaginings, crossing genres, fan fiction and where fantasy is taking the modern reader.

There will be readings from several authors throughout the two-day program.

Publishers on site will take pitches

from hopeful writers. There will also be a dealers’ room featuring books written by the authors at the Expo.

You’ll find the dealers’ area, open to the public, in the library’s Wilson Room.

Strange said she feels strongly that an event like this should be affordable for anyone who wants to attend. Affordable it is. With admission prices in advance at $45 for a two day pass or $25 for a one-day, it’s a great deal for anyone interested in literature.

“Everything is included,” said Strange. “All the workshops, the readings, everything. There’s no extra costs. We work really hard to make it affordable. People who enjoy reading

or who want to write should be able to afford this Expo.”

Organizers picked July because of it being a down time in much of the genre and alt-lit conference scene.

“We were conscious of picking summer as a good time,” said Strange.

“There’s already lots in the spring and fall. You’ve got Cancon (the conference on Canadian Content in Speculative Arts and Literature) in the spring and you’ve got Ad Astra (the annual science fiction and horror convention) and When Worlds Collide in the fall.”

An important aspect of this event is the inclusion of local/regional authors Alyssa Cooper, Vicki Delany, Tanya Huff, Bob MacKenzie and Violette Malan.

Alyssa Cooper, of Kingston, author of several novels, including the Witches of Armour Hill series, will appear on the Young Adult, the Monstrous Imaginings, and the Feminist Journey panels.

Vicki Delany,

who lives in Prince Edward County, has 22 published books and writes in the crime, mystery and thriller genres.

She’ll participate in the Modus Operandi panel as well as giving a reading from Unreasonable Doubt.

Author Tanya Huff is a prolific writer of contemporary fantasy. Many settings in her stories are actually around places where she has lived in Toronto and Kingston. She has 30 novels and 75 short stories in the horror and fantasy genres. You’ll catch her on the Fantasy, Traditional vs. Indie, and the LGBTQ2 Identities in Speculative Fiction panels.

Kingston poet and author Bob

MacKenzie, published by Dark Matter Press, will appear on the Mixing it up: Cross Genres panel.

Local crime and fantasy writer Violette Malan will appear on the Fantasy, Traditional vs. Indie Publishing, and Queering the Fantastic: LGBTQ2 Identities in Speculative Fiction panels.

The 2016 Limestone Genre Expo is a summer literary highlight. For the lower rate of admission, make sure to register online prior to the Expo.

Queen’s camp hopes to ‘ignite’ interest in computer science

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Computer programming is something that is often associated with geeks or nerds or people who are really smart, but according to Wendy Powley, a member of the computing faculty at Queen’s, that isn’t actually accurate.

“People think that you have to be brilliant to do computer science. That’s because many people don’t understand what computing is and that it covers such a broad range of topics,” explains Powley. “Everything we do today touches computers and if you can learn

to be part of that, it opens so many doors.”

In an effort to get more people, specifically teens, interested in computer science and computer coding, Powley is running a camp this summer with students in various computer science programs at Queen’s.

The camp, entitled Queen’s Ignite, will run for two weeks in July and will allow teens aged 13 to 17 to learn what computer science is all about.

“A lot of people shy away from computer science because they don’t know what it is,” said Powley. “In our high schools in Ontario, only one

in three offer computer science as a possible elective for students and even fewer students take those courses.

There is not a lot of opportunity for students to get in there and find out what it is all about.”

The camp is made possible by a Google grant that Powley and her team of students applied for. The grant was awarded to groups interested in outreach programs and Ignite fit the criteria.

This is the first time that Queen’s has run a camp program like this and Powley is hoping that there is enough interest in the community.

“So far, our first camp is almost full and the second has a number of spots left,” she said.

“The sad thing we noticed though, as the camps filled up, is that we have only about three girls out of 32 participants registered.”

The lack of female interest is an ongoing problem within the field of computer science and generally speaking, only about 15 per cent

Kingston Police raise over $100,000 for local youth charity

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

News - Back in May, the Kingston Police held a gala to celebrate 175 years of service to the community. To mark the milestone, they wanted to give back to a worthy local cause, and chose Youth Diversion, a partner they’ve been working with for many years that helps youth, families and the community to develop the skills necessary to succeed and overcome the challenges of adolescence.

Chief Gilles Larochelle remarked that initially he thought they might raise somewhere in the range of $50,000, but on June 23, Kingston Police presented Youth Diversion with a cheque for $107,000.

“In no way did we think we would approach $100,000 and more,” Larochelle says. “We were ecstatic.”

He explains that the funds came from strong internal and community support, as well as from the generosity of numerous sponsors, with Bell being the platinum sponsor.

Larochelle says that Youth Diversion and what it works toward is a cause very important to the police.

“When we as police officers work with youth, it’s usually because they are youth at risk, there are issues. We often turn to Youth Diversion and other programs that assist us when redirecting these kids on a proper route, either through directly working with them or through course.”

He adds that “they do a phenomenal job. That’s the feedback we get either through the kids or through different community groups.”

Shawn Quigley, interim executive director of Youth Diversion, notes that this is the single biggest private donation the organization has received in its 40some year history.

“A donation of this size matches 10 per cent of our overall budget,” he says. “So that is going to allow us so much more freedom this year to be able to expand our services that we have for youth.”

To put it in perspective, a rough unit cost of delivering Youth Diversion services is: $400 for a youth to access weekly support of a mentor for a year; $500 for a youth to participate in a ten week session of Rebound; $1,000 for a youth and family to participate in the nine week Strengthening Families Program; and $1,500 for a youth to receive K A I R O S substance use and addictions counselling for a year.

“We’ll be able to recruit more volunteers to help more kids - it’s such a domino effect to have this level of breathing space as a result of [the donation] from the gala,” Quigley adds.

great success, will they do the gala again? Absolutely, says Larochelle, though it may not necessarily be an annual thing.

“We had fun doing the gala, we had a great team. It proved to be very successful, but it took a lot of energy and a lot of time. We’re going to do it again, but I think we’re

going to do it every three years.

‘We are safe here, we have no fear, and we are free’: Kingston’s refugees share their stories with the community

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Since last summer, over 70 people have come to Kingston as refugees.

Many fled terrible situations and some were forced to leave their families and friends behind; but now, they call Kingston home.

To learn more about these refugees and others who have come to Kingston, KEYS Job Centre, Immigrant Services Kingston

and Area (ISKA) at Kingston Community Health Centres (KCHC), the Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL) and Live Wire Music Series, hosted ‘Refugee Voices from Around the World’ on June 20.

The event invited five refugees to share their stories and invited community members to come and learn more about some of the newcomers in Kingston.

“It is important to raise awareness about the situations refugees face,” said Asmaa Najibi, who led discussions throughout

QUINTE CANVAS MANUFACTURING

the event. “Tonight honours the courage, strength, and determination of women, men and children forced to flee their homeland and persecution, conflict and violence.”

The event, which coincided with World Refugee Day, featured speakers from various parts of the world including Burundi, Pakistan, Syria and Myanmar.

Each speaker took the stage at the Central

branch of the KFPL and shared their story with nearly 200 community members.

Some of the speakers came to Canada a number of years ago, while others, like Hussein from Syria, arrived just six months ago.

“Last December we got a letter from the Canadian Government saying that we

would be flying to Canada in 10 days,” he explained through a translator. “Before that we were living in Lebanon for about three years because the situation in Syria wasn’t safe anymore.”

‘We are safe here, we have no fear, and we are free’: Kingston’s refugees share their stories with the community Continued from page 18

Hussein, who is now 18, remembers a lot of fighting in Syria and he also remembers being approached to join a fighting group in 2012.

“But I didn’t’ want to,” he said. “I was told that if I didn’t join, then it was better for my family to leave.”

Hussein remembers being sad that he had to leave his friends in Syria and he remembers how hard life was for his family in Lebanon.

But he also remembers how happy they all were when they learned they were coming to Canada.

Now, he has new friends and is an active member of the ISKA multicultural youth group.

“I found new friends and established new connections and now we have a new home in Canada,” he said. “One of the things I love about Canada is seeing Canadians helping each other and seeing how the people of Kingston helped us. I just want to thank everyone.”

This message of thanks was repeated throughout the evening and was emphasized by Lertapaw Eh, a refugee from Myanmar who came to Canada as a refugee in 2006 after spending many years in a refugee camp in Thailand.

“Before the camp, my family was on the run every day to survive,” she said. “It wasn’t easy to survive.

We all wondered who would be next to die, even when I was young I was worried.”

Eh and her family travelled to a refugee camp when she was 12, but life in the camp was still hard.

“I was still wishing for freedom.

I became a teacher in the refugee camp and we didn’t have enough food, water or health care,” she said. “But I never gave up because I knew one day I would be free.”

That day came in 2006 when, as a result of church sponsorship, Eh came to Canada with her two-year old daughter.

“People in the camp kept asking how I would survive without a husband, but I didn’t want to think about that. I just wanted my freedom,” she said.

Now, Eh speaks English, works at Tara Natural Foods on Princess Street and never complains about life in Canada.

“Life is so easy here and I never complain, not even in the winter, because everything is better here,” she said. “The past is not easy to forget. I always remember what I went through, but now I am so blessed. We are safe here, we have no fear, and we are free.”

Eh’s story, like the others throughout the night, resonated with those in the audience, including Najibi and she hopes they will have an impact on the broader community too.

“We have all heard about the situations in these countries, but to hear these firsthand accounts gives us a new perspective,” she said. “We really appreciate hearing these inspiring stories and hearing the impact Kingston has made on these lives.” Nearly 200 Kingstonians gathered at the central branch of the KFPL on June 20 for Refugee Voices from

Around the World. Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

UHKF honours ‘extraordinary’ donors

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – On June 22, University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) celebrated generosity at their Celebration of Giving event. The annual event recognizes the contributions that have been made to the foundation, and Kingston’s hospitals, over the past year and this year, they had lots to celebrate.

“We have had a wonderful year,” said Denise Cumming, executive director of UHKF. “With the launch of our new campaign, ‘Extraordinary People, Innovative Health Care’, the completion of a few major fundraising projects and the launch of some exciting programs in our hospitals, we have been very busy.”

The event invites community members, staff, and, most important, donors, to come and learn more about the projects that are ongoing with the hospitals and the campaigns that have been successful.

This year, it was all about Providence Care. Cathy Szabo, president and CEO of Providence Care, explained that the new hospital is on track and will open in 304

days.

“We are very excited and I am sure you all are too,” she said. “I even suggested we hold this event in our new hospital next year.”

In addition to an update on each hospital, the event also recognized some generous donors with awards.

This year, the Davies Award for Philanthropy was presented to both an individual and a group. The prestigious award recognizes individuals, organizations and community groups that have demonstrated outstanding philanthropic leadership benefiting Kingston and the provision of healthcare for the people of Kingston and southeastern Ontario.

Tim Davies was on hand to present the awards and he was happy to recognize the A-3 Lions District.

“District A-3 has contributed more than $330,000 to Kingston’s hospitals since 2009,” he explained. “The clubs were among the donors who contributed to the new MRI for KGH and one club even donated the money from the sale of their hall to support this initiative.”

Janet Marrisen, district governor was

on hand to accept the award and while she was happy to accept, she was also humble about it.

“Our motto is ‘we serve’ and that is what we all strive to do in big and small ways,” she said. “I am very proud for this recognition. Each club does what they are able to do and together we try to make a difference.”

The Davies award was also presented to Britton Smith, the single most generous donor in the history of the hospitals. Smith donated $3 million to the MRI campaign at KGH earlier this year and he was also very humble about accepting his award.

“We do have state medicine and theoretically our health needs should be provided by the government, but there are a lot of holes in that safety net and it is people like the volunteers and other organizations who work quietly to fill the gaps,”

he said. “ I can’t volunteer myself so what I can do is maybe give a little money here and there as my contribution.”

Smith thanked his employees at Homestead Land Holdings for helping him make contributions over the years.

The event also recognized local surgeon Dr. Martin ten Hove with the Ian Wilson Award for Volunteerism. Wilson himself presented the award and couldn’t say enough about ten Hove and his work in the community.

“He donated a significant gift to the Together We Can campaign and then he made it even more special by asking the

colleagues in his department to do likewise – and they did,” said Wilson. “Collectively they made a tremendous gift and this is the kind of leadership that he provides to others in the hospital and to us in the community.”

Dr. ten Hove, was happy to accept and encouraged others in the community to give back where they can.

“My small part is just to be as excited and enthusiastic and passionate as the members of this foundation and that is pretty easy for me to do,” he said. “I am really proud of the work we do here in Kingston and I want to help it continue.”

LARGEST SMALL SMA ENGINE SHOP IN KINGSTON!

Luck of the Irish stops short of kissing a stone The pending arrival of grandchild No. 2 has put our travel plans for this year on hold. Only temporarily I hasten to add!

In recent years Kathleen and I have focused heavily on exploring our Irish heritage. In summer 2014 we visited Ireland, south and north, in the company of our good friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc.

Included was a combined rail and coach tour of the Irish Republic which carried us from Dublin to Cork, around the splendid Ring of Kerry in the extreme south and on to Limerick and the towering Cliffs of Moher. We traveled through the hostile but mesmerizing Burren and spent two days in Galway including a delightful side trip to the Aran Islands by air which was definitely a highlight. Our comprehensive journey finished with two days in Northern Ireland where we engaged a private van tour of the rugged Antrim coast. For the first time, I visited and photographed the grave of my great-grandmother and three other relatives (on my mother’s side) in Belfast. A moving experience to say the least!

In late August and early September last year Kathy and I enjoyed a week in and around Dublin, followed by a second week in London, my absolute favourite big city.

After more than two decades of crisscrossing the United Kingdom, Ireland, continental Europe and North America Kathy and I are very confident travelling on our own. These days we do more solo trips than coach/rail journeys with the big companies. We like the freedom of being able to decide when and where we will go instead of the up at seven, breakfast at eight and depart at nine itineraries which can become tedious when you’ve done them several times.

We have the added advantage of joining friends who are also very well-travelled and we also have friends and family across the UK which means we have been to places most people will never experience first-hand. We realize how incredibly fortunate we are!

Looking ahead our travel canvas for this year is blank at the moment. We intend to make some broad strokes later this summer and fall and are currently considering our options.

Admittedly Ireland enjoys a lofty position on our personal chart. I won’t rule out a return visit. Dublin very quickly became Kathy’s favourite European city and we have a hotel there that’s second to none.

That really adds to the lure.

As I mentioned in a recent column I receive numerous travel questions from readers and I do my best to answer them.

The reward is hearing back from folks

who took my advice and thoroughly enjoyed the hotels, restaurants and locations I recommend.

Tragic liners A few days ago a lady from Kingston emailed to ask my advice about Ireland.

One of the places she and her partner intend to visit later this year is Cork, the Irish Republic’s second city and the historic port of Cobh (formerly Queenstown) which is the seagoing gateway to Cork City. Queenstown, you’ll remember, was the last port of call for ‘Titanic’ in April 1912. Three years later, in May 1915, another huge British liner the ‘Lusitania’ was torpedoed by a German submarine not far south of Queenstown.

Tributes to both vessels are prominent features in present day Cobh. Two years ago we visited a cemetery just north of the town where many passengers and crew from Lusitania are interred.

I wrote extensively about Ireland’s connection to both ill-fated vessels in 2014. So I won’t revisit that now. But for anyone planning a visit to Ireland’s south coast a stop in Cobh is mandatory.

I have also advised the local woman to be sure and get to the daily market in Cork, if at all possible.

In 2014 we were part of a tour group and restricted by the watch of our leader, a dynamic chap from Dublin called Norman Foster. He was good enough to usher us into the covered market. Just as quickly we were ushered out. The four of us could easily have spent an hour or more in Cork market. It is absolutely fabulous! We are all fish and seafood lovers and the array of product available there left us drooling as we grudgingly made our way back to the coach.

Our main stop that day was Blarney, a town of 5,000 that is the main tourist centre in County Cork. Located eight kilometres (five miles) northwest of Cork City,

Blarney is the home of Blarney Castle and in particular the world-famous Blarney Stone.

According to legend kissing the Blarney Stone endows you with “the gift of the gab.”

Anyone who knows me knows I was gifted with the gab from birth. I don’t have to kiss a rock to acquire that “skill.”

Those who feel the need to nuzzle the stone will tell you the endeavor requires a fair bit of flexibility. Participants are seated and they must then lean backwards, supported by a staff member, in order to accomplish the feat. My late mother Molly was in her 70s when she kissed the Blarney Stone. She was very proud of herself. She told me, “Most old folks couldn’t manage the (castle) stairs, let alone lean backwards so far.”

The day we visited Blarney a cruise ship, with 1,500 passengers, had docked in nearby Cork. The castle was their main stop while ashore. The line-up to climb the narrow and treacherous stone steps and kiss the stone was ridiculously long.

We gave it a pass! Seriously, who wants to kiss an old piece of limestone. Especially after the lips of more than a thousand cruise passengers were ahead of you.

Thoughts of the Norwalk virus danced through my head!

Besides it was an absolutely picture perfect summer day and the gardens which surround Blarney Castle are stunningly beautiful. Every colour of the rainbow combined with 40 shades of green.

If you like flowers and plants, you can’t beat it!

We were given three hours in Blarney so we had time to burn. After a leisurely stroll through the garden, which includes a separate patch where poisonous plants are on display, we split up. Kathy and Wendy headed off to take a tour of a separate historic home situated on the grounds.

Frank and I had a choice of several walks of varying durations (the site encompasses 60 acres and includes a picturesque lake and a river walk) or a visit to the village itself, located just outside the main gates.

your hotel before breakfast begins. Always be suspicious of sandwiches that come in plastic containers!

Normally I would have enjoyed the wonderful looking meat pies, sausage rolls and stews which graced the buffet bar. Instead I settled for a scone and a steaming and generous cup of tea.

The luck of the Irish!

To be honest that forgettable “breakfast” was but a tiny blip on the radar. Our June 2014 visit was one of the luckiest visitors could ever have when touring Ireland.

We had one day of rain. True, it was while we were searching for my greatgrandmother’s grave in Belfast City Cemetery. And it was bucketing down.

We were all saturated.

But never mind! Virtually our entire visit unfolded under wall-to-wall sunshine in the midst of the biggest heat wave to hit the island in years. Our only real concern was why the switch marked “air conditioning” had so little effect in our hotel rooms at night.

In Ireland you are usually dealing with rain and mist frequently. In this case the views across the wide Atlantic and the usually storm tossed Irish Sea were unlimited.

When it comes to overseas travel it doesn’t get much better than that!

Made in Ireland We looked around the garden for a while. But it was a sweltering day (rare for the Irish Republic) and we needed a break. We opted to head back to town where, eventually, we would resume our bus excursion.

Blarney town is famous for its woolen mill, dating from 1823, which now features a sprawling gift store – try warehouse – featuring only goods which are manufactured in Ireland. The choice is legion!

It definitely isn’t the “tourist trap” we are so familiar with from visits to multitude historic sites. There is no one constantly at your elbow trying to sell you “magic cream” or another credit card. Instead the plethora of Irish made products meant we spent a considerable amount of time and quite a few Euros in the place.

Like any heavily visited attraction the complex also has a large cafeteria. It too is anything but typical. The selection of fresh made food was impressive.

Frank loves a bowl of soup for lunch and the hearty fare available in Blarney was much to his liking.

Kingston will add extra icing onto Canada’s 150th birthday cake in 2017 News – This year’s Canada Day is just around the corner, but the City of Kingston is already making plans to boost the birthday budget when the nation turns 150 on July 1, 2017.

“We all had a great opportunity to do community celebrations in 1967 with the centennial. Here we have a chance to update it at the 150 mark and look to the future,” explained cultural director Colin Wiginton.

The city is planning to spend over $800,000 on local events, fixtures and activities during the milestone sesquicentennial year to “benefit the commu-

nity in both the short and long term.”

If approved by council, the enhanced municipal funding will support about a dozen city-organized or community-based projects ranging from tree plantings, exhibits and commemorations to lighting up City Hall.

A budget of $250,000 has been set aside to illuminate Kingston City Hall with multi-coloured LED lighting.

Wiginton says other cities often light up their major architectural features, such as the CN Tower or the Eiffel Tower. “They become really great tourist attractions. The idea was how can we do something like that in Kingston? Obviously, City Hall lends

itself to that.”

The city plans to install or retrofit about 200 lights to light up the historic building in different colours to match different events.

“What we are looking at is an updated LED lighting system that can be programmed using computers with a range of colour selections, so you can wash the whole building. Obviously in red and white for Canada 150. But you literally have millions of colour combinations.”

Illuminating the 1840s building is one of many so-called “legacy” projects to coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations throughout the year. Some are included in the $831,000 budget while others already have their own spending envelope.

Staff say the sesquicentennial programming will be patterned after the Sir John A. Macdonald birthday bicentennial in 2015. The strategy is to partner with community agencies to stage various events, while seeking government grants and other funding sources to help offset some of the taxpayer costs.

“We were really successful with the Sir John A. Macdonald bicentennial opportunity for partnerships and sponsorships,” Wiginton added.

The Canada 150 Fund, administered through the Department of Canadian Heritage, represents one potential source of funding related to Canada’s Sesquicentennial, according to staff.

Councillors say investing in the sesquicentennial projects falls within their own strategic priorities as they relate to “planning a livable city” and “greening the city.”

Coun. Jim Neill says he supports enhanced birthday spending, but wants to see more details.

“I think it would be good if we find a way to do something special. Almost a million dollars? I’d like to see what that money would be getting.”

lion. It’s funded through a separate capital budget but is also considered a legacy project that’s scheduled to open by next July. Other Canada 150 projects will be designated as one-time events that will only take place next year.

The birthday gift list is diverse: -plant 150 red maple trees to enhance the city’s urban forest, -present a travelling sesquicentennial exhibition to share untold stories about people, places, events and ideas that illustrate the diversity and complexity of the City’s rich heritage, -expand city-led public events for New Year’s Day, Mayor’s Levee, First Capital Day and Canada Day, -partner with First Peoples to ‘engage in change.’

The six-figure budget, drawn mostly from reserve funds, went to council for approval June 23.

Councillors had already set aside $175,000 for special events but could add another $656,000 - boosting total municipal spending to $831,000.

The overall birthday budget grows to $971,000 once partnership contributions from other organizations are factored in.

Proposed airport expansion faces turbulence from the neighbours

By Bill Hutchins

News – The owners of a Kingston marina are urging city council to stop the expansion of a runway at Norman Rogers Airport. “We are worried that it’s going to kill our family business with the excess noise, and customers won’t want to stay,� said Lori Buzzi, whose family has owned and operated Collins Bay Marina for 45 years.

She says about 50 per cent of boaters at the marina stay there all season. “The boats are their cottages. For transient boaters, their number one complaint is the airplane noise.�

The business is in the ight path of the airport’s main north-south runway, which is slated to be lengthened to 6,000 feet from the current 5,000 feet.

The Buzzis say adding 1,000 feet of runway will lead to an increase in air-

plane size, air trafďŹ c and noise. Their marina at 1270 Coverdale Drive, near the entrance to Lemoine Point Conservation Area, is located 500 metres from the runway.

The Buzzis and their children went to council June 21 to state their case, insisting the city’s own studies are inconsistent and don’t factor in all of the small personal aircraft that use the airport each year. “They’re not counting all the planes. They’re not counting over 11,000 ights. They’re not including them in the noise studies,â€? she said.

But an expert hired by the city to study the noise impact concludes the runway expansion won’t generate much more ground or sky noise in the year 2026 than it did in 2012.

Bernhard Schropp, with WSP Canada, says he used Transport Canada noise evaluation guidelines to assess

the impact on surrounding homes and businesses. The study concluded that future noise generated by planes – both within and beyond the airport property - meets Transport Canada guidelines. “Aircraft will not y any lower over the marina than they do today,â€? he told councillors.

A longer runway won’t change the landing point of planes that are ying in over the marina, but it would beneďŹ t larger planes that need more room for take-off. Planes will also climb on take-off much faster. Most general use airports in Canada have at least a 6,000-foot runway, he explained.

OfďŹ cials insist that most airplanes can take off or land in less than a minute – generating less noise and duration than a freight train – and the newer generation of planes have quieter engines. An estimated 71,000 people y out of Kingston’s airport every year.

In addition to noise exposure, the city also conducted airport expansion studies on the environment and air quality. “There will be changes in emissions as a result of the expansion,� said Schropp.

However, he concluded air quality from airplane emissions is “not signiďŹ cantly changed.â€?

The studies are considered to be the ďŹ nal phase before the $16 million airport expansion gets ďŹ nal clearance from council. If the project proceeds, the city will issue a request for proposals to select a design-build ďŹ rm. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2017 and be completed one year later.

The city’s own business case does not guarantee that an expanded airport will attract more passengers or air carriers. However, city staff say it will

How to flush your cooling system

The best flushes are two part: a strong acid and a neutralizer. The one part flushes aren’t as strong. The strong flushes get rid of more scale and deposits, but you run the risk of ‘eating through� the extremely thin and cheap radiators, freeze plugs, and heater cores they have today.

Prestone and others make a “backflush adapter� which fits in a heater hose and accepts a garden hose.

No matter how you do it, I’d replace both the top and bottom hoses, bypass and heater hoses, and possibly the thermostat.

When you remove the bottom hose almost all the coolant will drain out of the system. You really shouldn’t just dump this coolant: be a little “green� and at least pour it down a drain so the wastewater treatment plant can deal with it before it gets in the groundwater!. The best is to go to your regular mechanic and let him put it in his coolant recycling tank. Mechanics are required by law to have one.

Fill the system with water. If you decide to use flush, add it at this time. Start the engine and let it warm up. It might be necessary to hold your hand over the radiator filler while squeezing the top hose: the thermostat will be closed and may keep the water from circulating. If no water touches the thermostat, it WILL NOT OPEN AND OVER HEAT YOUR VEHICLE!!! I always drill an 1/16 inch

hole in the flange of a thermostat to keep it from “air locking� like that: the better thermostats already have a bypass hole for this purpose.

Once it is warm, follow the can directions regarding the flush, if you use it. If you aren’t using flush, skip these next few steps.

If it’s a 2 part flush, remove the bottom hose or open the radiator drain cock if it has one. (the drain cock will usually be on the opposite side from the bottom hose inlet on the radiator.) After it drains, replace the bottom hose and refill the system as outlined above. After it has been refilled, remove the top hose. Get a piece of pipe that fits either over or inside the top hose: this will make this step a lot neater.

Put a hose in the radiator filler and turn it on. Run the engine. Fresh water is being added by you via the radiator, the water in the engine is being pumped out of the top hose. Run water through it until the water exiting the top hose runs clear.

Re-attach the top hose and add the neutralizer, if a 2 part flush. Drain and repeat both of the above steps to remove the neutralizer from the system. If a one part flush, as soon as the water runs clear you are ready for coolant. Drain the system as outlined above.

Reattach all hoses, put in the antifreeze first. Complete the fill with water.

serve as an economic catalyst. They predict it will bring competitive service to Kingston, such as WestJet, as well as ensure that Air Canada’s current regional service will continue.

But the Collins Bay Marina owners say council is gambling with the future of their business. “They can’t ďŹ ll the planes they’re using now, so there’s not a business case for it,â€? said Buzzi.

The family has even hired its own experts to assess the noise impacts and challenge the city studies.

They also claim the city stands to beneďŹ t if their marina goes under, adding many Collins Bay boaters could leave the area and dock at the cityowned Confederation Basin or Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. “Government should not be using its powers to crush the competition,â€? she told council.

McDonald always enjoyed and excelled at school, and worked very hard to do well.

“My mother never had the chance to go to university, so she hoped that one day I would be able to. My school meant a great deal to me, and the teachers I had were mentors in many aspects of my life, aside from just my studies. They helped me pick my path in life, which was to become a teacher.”

As she looks back over her years of high school, she recalls some favourite times from her days at QE. “Some of my favourite memories include our significant fundraising efforts for the community,” explains McDonald. “One year, we won a Platinum Blonde concert at our school because, of all of the high schools in Frontenac County, we raised the most amount of money for the Food Bank. Platinum Blonde was pretty cool back in the 80s,” she said.

Some of her memories are also emotional ones.

“Some of the most emotional times were when we were facing the “school swap”, a proposal in which the public and Catholic school boards planned to literally swap the Regi and QE buildings, since Regi needed more space,” adds McDonald. “We protested at the school board office, we held hands around our school, and we held campaigns in front of our school to garner community support.”

And they were successful. Due to the overwhelming school and community protest, the school board did not proceed with those plans. “It was a time when the students and community banded together, and it was pretty powerful to be a part of that.”

Upon graduation she attended Queen’s for her Physical Education and Arts degrees, and then her Bachelor of Education degree. In 2009, she completed her Masters of Education part-time, also at Queen’s.

It wasn’t long after finishing her studies when a sad turn of events led to McDonald’s return to her alma mater as its vice-principal in 2010.

“Debbie Chambers, vice-principal at QE, passed away from cancer, and I was moved from a VP position at Bayridge Secondary School into her position,” she explains. “A year later, I became the principal, right at the time when the PARC (Program and Accommodation Review Committee) process was beginning,” she explained. “My entire principalship at QE has been spent either in the PARC process, enduring the judicial review of the LDSBs decision to close QE and KC, navigating through the politically-charged exploration of the Memorial Centre as a potential location for the new school, the design process for the new school, the integration and transition plans for the students, and now preparing for its closure.”

She has many fond memories from her tenure as the principal of QECVI. “At one of the public meetings, some of our students did a flash mob in which they sang John Lennon’s “Imagine” as a way to articulate how they wanted people to imagine the possibilities of a new school, and our communities coming together,” she explains. “That was one of my proudest moments as a principal.”

“I will also not forget one of our Grade 9 students coming up to the microphone to explain how some QE students might be ‘rough around the edges’, but that they tried just as hard as other kids, and shouldn’t be feared.

I will keep those memories with me throughout the rest of my career.”

Her accomplishments didn’t stop once students graduated. One of the programs she is most proud of helps students once they finished their studies and are looking at post secondary education.

A Kingston native, McDonald has lived in Kingston all of her life.

“I attended JG Simcoe Public School and Rideau Heights Public School before attending QE. I lived in Rideau Heights until my third year of university at Queen’s.”

It was a real family affair at QECVI, with both her younger brother and five cousins also attending and graduating from the school.

The school opened in November 1955.

In a funny twist of fate, the student association from Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute (KCVI) gave the new QECVI student association a gavel as a gift to congratulate them on the opening of their new school. (KCVI will also close its doors and join QECVI students at the new school upon its completion.)

Built to house some 1,104 students, QECVI reached its greatest capacity only two times in its 60 year history -- in the late 60s and then again in the early 90s with the introduction of Focus Programs.

In its final year, QECVI will see 70 students graduate in the class of 2016,

the rest of the student body will move to LCVI until construction of the new $36 million school is complete.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the Over the years, courses changed place as students, staff and alumni to keep up with changing times. gathered one last time as a group “The introduction of Focus Programs to say farewell to Queen Elizabeth changed things significantly,” says Collegiate and Vocational Institute McDonald. “Creative Arts, Veterinary (QECVI), a beacon of education in Technician, Building Construction, Kingston’s north end, since 1955.

“I believe our proudest accomplishment was the establishment of the QECVI post-secondary fund, a charitable trust that we use to help our students cover application, tuition and residence fees for college and university,” says McDonald. “It has been very rewarding to see the culture change among our graduates who now see a future for themselves beyond high school. There was a time when we focused our efforts on simply getting students to cross the stage in June; we now believe in launching them to the next step beyond high school, which we know can be transformative for them and their families.”

Tears fill her eyes as she thinks about the school’s pending closure.

“The closure process has been very surreal for me. At times, I can’t believe that I’m helping to make plans and decisions about the closure and demolition of my own school, not just as its Principal, but as a former student who spent her formative years there. You have to keep your focus on the end goal, which is to create a future vision of education in north Kingston that will be amazing for students and families. So I am definitely filled with nostalgia, sadness and optimism all at the same time.”

Staff and students have helped greatly during this emotional time.

“I couldn’t have asked for more from our staff and students throughout this process,”

she says. “Five years ago, I was worried we might face a mutiny from our community about the possibility of QEs closure. However, the students are longing for more educational opportunities: more class choices, more students to field sports teams, and the prospect of a brand-new school.”

“They have continued to keep an open mind, and have shown a desire to come together with the KCVI community. The other thing that was often not talked about in this process is the perception many people have about QE and its students. I

think our students are looking forward to ridding themselves of the stigma about QE that makes them feel misrepresented and misunderstood. They often feel frustrated that outsiders don’t know about some of the very special things about their school.”

But she won’t be leaving her students behind. McDonald will be a familiar face to her current QECVI students relocating to LCVI in September, as she takes on the role of LC’s principal. Incoming Grade 9 students, from the QECVI’s family of feeder schools, will attend KCVI.

“One of my current vice-principals, and one of my vice-principals, currently on leave, will join me and one of the vice-principals at LCVI will remain. In the end, I think we will have struck a very good balance so that students from QE will have familiar faces in front of them in the fall, while still maintaining the culture and identity of LCVI” Soon, the halls of QECVI will go si-

Local carpenter takes on container living

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Chris Gyuk has been working as a trained carpenter for more than a decade in the Kingston area. Through his business, Dynamic Carpentry, he has renovated kitchens and bathrooms, built decks and refinished basements; but with his latest project he decided to build an entire home – inside a shipping container.

“I have always been interested in sustainability both environmentally and economically. I was researching tiny homes and small spaces and I thought I would give it a try,” he explained. “I liked the idea that a shipping container is recycled and you could be really creative in such a small space.”

Over the past several months, Gyuk has been working inside a 140 square foot shipping container. He purchased the container in Gananoque, had it delivered to his property in Odessa and he has been working to make it a home ever since.

Now that the home is completed, he

is showing it off in the hopes of attracting a buyer.

“The main room is 16 feet by seven feet and everything is framed and insulated with spray foam. The ceiling is also insulated with spray foam and batt insulation as well,” he explained. “It is fairly cool in the summer and warm in the winter.”

The container is surprisingly quite roomy inside and is large enough for a futon in the main room and a tiny electric fireplace. There is also room for a small The shipping container before. Photo/Submitted fridge, sink and counter off to the side.

Gyuk has also taken extra care to make the flooring and ceiling as nice as possible, giving the place what he hopes, is a homey feel.

“It has oak hardwood flooring and the ceiling is all pine,” he explained. “There is also a tiny room off the main room that could be used for a compost or flush toilet depending on the use of the container.”

Local carpenter takes on container living Continued from page 2

Gyuk is selling the container for $24,000 plus tax and delivery and he thinks the space would be perfect for cottagers looking to expand.

“This is kind of set up as a cottage bunky, so if someone already has a cottage and they want to add to it or if they want a little out building as a guest house, they could buy this instead of going through the process of having something built,” he said. “You buy this, plug it into an extension cord and hook it up to a garden hose and you are ready. It is like a trailer without wheels, but a bit fancier.”

Gyuk has had some interest in the container so far, but mostly just from friends.

“When I put it on Facebook a lot of my friends wanted to see it just out of interest and that has been the case with other people too.”

He hopes that actual buyers will be interested, too, especially considering there is nowhere to

buy units like this in the area.

“There is nothing really local that you can go see,” he said. “There are a lot of photos and ideas on Pinterest, but nothing concrete and nothing designed for Canadian climates.”

The process to convert the container took some time, but with his experience, Gyuk found the actual construction was the easiest part.

“I planned a lot and had to do some problem solving in terms of the insulation and the doors and windows,” he said. “I wanted to get it right.”

In the end, he is happy with the finished product and he would even consider living in something similar himself.

“I would live in something similar to this. I would probably do a 40 foot container or two 20 foot containers side by side,” he said. “But I think I could do it.”

To contact Gyuk aobut his container home email him at chris@dynamiccarpentry.ca or call 613-985-8347.

Man allegedly refuses to share downtown bench with elderly woman, assaults person who comes to her defense yelling, shouting and swearing at the woman.

A 66-year-old man who was nearby and heard the verbal tirade from the accused attempted to intervene. The accused then struck the man in the side of the neck. A nearby panhandler intervened and the accused left south on Bagot Street on a bicycle.

A nearby Kingston Police officer on foot patrol was advised by witnesses of what just occurred and a description of the accused was put over the radio to arrest on reason-

COACH & TOURS

able grounds of assault. A patrol officer in a cruiser observed the accused on the bicycle in the area of Johnson Street and Bagot Street.

He was stopped and arrested without incident.

While searching the accused a small amount of crystal methamphetamine was found in his backpack. He was transported to police headquarters to attend a bail hearing the following day. He is charged with Assault, Causing a Disturbance and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

Woman involved in collision blows three times over legal limit, charged with impaired: Police A 56-year-old local woman who rear-ended another vehicle in the west end of Kingston had approximately three times the legal limit of alcohol in her system, say Kingston Police.

Just before 8 p.m. on June 22 the male driver of a Mini Cooper, who was travelling south on Centennial Drive approaching Taylor Kidd Boulevard, was struck from behind by a female driver of a Jeep. After pulling into the parking lot of a nearby gas station at the intersection,

the male driver observed signs of impairment from the female driver and called Kingston Police.

The patrol officer who attended also saw signs of intoxication by alcohol and arrested the woman for impaired driving. She was transported to police headquarters where a qualified breach technician determined she was approximately three times over the legal limit of 80 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood. She was addi-

tionally charged with Driving in Excess of the Legal Limit of Alcohol and later released on a Promise to Appear (PTA) with a future court date.

The accused’s driver’s licence is automatically suspended for 90 days and would face a one year suspension if convicted. The vehicle was seized and impounded for seven days, with the accused being responsible for all fees and fines.

Two charged with assault after incident outside Princess Street coffee shop Kingston Police report that a late night encounter in a coffee shop between two groups of friends went sour early in the morning of June 24, leading to charges of assault against two Kingston men.

Shortly after midnight, one group of friends was approached by two men in an upper Princess Street coffee shop. A female in the group did not appreciate the attention, and uttered a derogatory slur toward one of the men. The two men left, and walked a short distance away to a bench in the 700 block of Princess Street.

As the other group of males and females left the coffee shop walking east on Princess Street, one the other male on the bench (victim) caught their attention, and offered an obscene gesture. The men walking with the women (suspects) then chased the victim into a parking lot. While

being chased, the victim fell to the ground. The two accused men then began to kick the victim as he lay on the ground, unable to defend himself. The assault ended when the two accused ran away to catch up with their female companions.

The victim was treated by paramedics, and taken to hospital as a precaution. His injuries were not believed to be serious.

Two Kingston men, 21, and 19 years of age respectively, were later arrested and released on a Promise to Appear at a later date. Both will be charged with one count of assault.

This matter is still under investigation, and anyone who witnessed this incident or believes they have information that may assist the investigation may contact Cst. Aaron Crawford at 613-549-4660 ext. 6376 or by email at acrawford@kpf.ca.

Kingston woman charged with assaulting a police officer A 59-year-old woman has been charged with assaulting a Kingston Police officer who had originally attended to check on the welfare of her child.

Police report that at approximately 9:30 p.m. on June 22 the female uniform patrol officer attended a Johnson Street address in regards to a pre-teen child who had gone to a next door neighbour’s house as she was concerned for and fearful of her intoxicated mother.

The officer first spoke to the neighbour and upset child, and then entered the adjacent residence to discover the woman passed out in front of the television. The officer woke up the intoxicated woman, who almost immediately became aggres-

sive towards her, challenging why the police were in her home and believing her daughter was safely upstairs in her room.

The woman then struck the officer, grabbed her body armour and the two fell to the kitchen floor. A brief struggle ensued and the woman was eventually arrested and handcuffed.

She was transported to police headquarters and lodged in cells to attend a bail hearing the following day to answer to the charge of Assault Police.

Family and Children’s Service of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington were contacted and took the child into their care until it could be determined if a suitable out of town family member could assume temporary custody.

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means:

Funding to our health care system will increase by over $1 billion this year.

• 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

Car crashes through glass railing at Royal George residences A male in his 20s was fortunate to escape injury when he crashed his vehicle through a metal glass railing at the Royal George residences on 5 Gore St. Thursday afternoon. The male was attempting to park his pristine Toyota Camry at around 1:30 p.m. when he inadvertently crashed through the railing, causing him and his vehicle to fall about a metre onto the greenery below. The fall was gentle enough that airbags did not deploy. It is not yet known if charges will be laid. Photo/Cris Vilela

ENCHANTÉ

A bewitching beast

Mark Bergin COLUMNIST

@markaidanbergin In near darkness, a wolf slinks into the barren scene, picking up a scent. Meandering, he senses something then moves front and centre, staring. His eyes pierce the darkness, searching for prey.

This is not a forest or a far off wilderness, but a Broadway stage. The Walter Kerr Theatre, which seats 975, people, is as silent as a mortuary. One can taste the silence, the darkness and foreboding.

It happens after intermission, shortly into Act II of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, a story set in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, as relevant in today’s persecutory Trump world as it was when Miller wrote it in reaction to the 1950s witch-hunts of McCarthyism.

The only sound: gasps from the audience. Some are noticeably uncomfortable, especially during the wolf’s extended stare out into the pack facing him.

The first time I watched the performance was from a location a few rows from the stage, in the space toward which the wolf stared. That was an intense moment.

Much is unsettling about this production, starting from the opening curtain when, instead of Puritan garb, we see a classroom with girls in modern day school uniforms, fluorescent lights flickering above.

That timelessness amplifies the terror.

The use of the wolf on stage has its desired effect. The audience is painfully unsettled. Even if you know the play intimately, no one expects this.

Dark moments are ahead for the residents of Salem, Massachusetts.

This production of The Crucible “reawakens our imagination to horror” says Jesse Green of New York Magazine. The New York Times tells audiences: “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” They aren’t exaggerating.

It’s a different story backstage, where the wolf acts the big goof, 78 pounds of pure silliness. He’s particularly fond of the adolescent girls in the cast, since that’s the pack he’s used to. He’s on loan from a loving family, which includes teen girls, in Seattle.

Behind the scenes, the girls of The Crucible, like the wolf, are no longer in character. They can be as silly as the beast is goofy. I tell one of them (I won’t embarrass her by naming her) that I loved her performance. She giggles, looking even younger than her years, and blushes, then thanks me.

The greatest shock is that the creature that terrifies the audience is not a wolf; he’s officially a member of Canis lupus familiaris, i.e., a domestic dog.

His is a rare breed, Tamaskan (Tamaska means mighty wolf), which hauntingly resembles the wolf, despite not having any wolf in its breeding past.

This is a relief, as keeping any wild animal in captivity for human enjoyment or entertainment is quite simply cruel.

Wolves themselves are greatly misunderstood creatures. There is no such thing as a big, bad wolf.

As for the domestic Tamaskan dog, well, he takes the role to the opposite extreme.

The Broadway Tamaskan star is Luchta. He doesn’t hunt bison or chew on bloody bones off stage. In fact, his favorite toy is a stuffed green alligator. Seriously.

Immediately after meeting this creature, I have to know more. I discover that the Tamaskan breed is originally from Finland. There are very few of the dogs in North America. I search and discover there is only one legitimate breeder in Canada (there are two more working on accreditation), and to my pleasant surprise I learn that the breeder lives in Kingston.

Aside from the fact that I don’t believe in fate, this story was clearly meant to be.

According to the National Tamaskan Club of Canada, there are only 38 legitimate, registered Tamaskan dogs in all of Canada, and about 600 in the world. The club notes that there are puppy mills grinding out fake Tamaskan puppies at an alarming rate. The names of these unethical puppy mills are

After contacting Jessica Tremblay, the breeder who operates Kingston’s Oslett Tamaskan, I suggest a photo session with some of her dogs and the dancers I work with from The Street Ballerinas

ENCHANTÉ Tremblay is gentle but firm with her dogs, the wolf-like Sharayah and her all-white pup, Nivea. The dogs sit off-leash with the dancers.

Posing is another issue. Just as they are in the perfect position, one of them (the dogs, not the dancers) rolls onto her back, hopefully tempting someone to play with her or rub her tummy.

It doesn’t take long to learn that the information about the Tamaskan being a poor guard dog is true. I’ve rarely met such playful and gentle dogs, especially ones that large. Mind you, they are bred and trained by Tremblay, who is a qualified dog trainer, so,

of course, these aren’t your average out-ofcontrol family pets. Still, there is a gentleness about these creatures.

According to the International Register, the Tamaskan’s “movement should be light and balanced, but powerful and flowing. Should be able to cover a massive amount of ground.”

Despite their size and wild appearance, the Tamaskan tends toward friendliness.

Information from the international organization notes: “This leads them to not making a good guard dog unless licking someone to death is the idea you have for protection.”

Are there issues to be aware of? Of course, like any dog, they have their quirks. With their pack orientation and sensitivity to those

over the age of 8 years; not allowing any female to have her first litter over the age of 5 years; not breeding a female more than once a year, nor allowing any female to produce more than 5 litters during her lifetime.

You will never find a real Tamaskan for sale in a pet store anywhere in the world. If you see one in a pet store, that’s fraud. One of the requirements of accredited Tamaskan breeders is that they “not sell any puppy to a commercial outlet such as pet store, puppy farm, or puppy broker.”

In contrast, a puppy mill owner doesn’t worry about how many litters a female has in a year or her lifetime. Avoid them like the plague. If you want to learn about puppy mills, watch the horrifying documentary Madonna of the Mills (madonnaofthemills.com).

If you want to see the production of The Crucible I’ve mentioned, because of actors’ film schedules it’s on a short run and ends on July 17. But it’s well worth a trip to NYC. I can’t imagine there ever being a better production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible than this one. Saoirse Ronan, a sweetheart by any measure, is utterly demonic as Abigail Williams in The Crucible; Ciarán Hinds as Deputy Governor Danforth is painfully relentless; Ben Whishaw as John Proctor is tormented (largely by Abigail). There is not a weak moment on the stage, and each actor (and Luchta, the Tamaskan) brings passion to every scene.

For more information about The Crucible, visit thecrucibleonbroadway.com. To learn about the Tamaskan dog, go to tamaskan-dog. ca or the international Tamaskan Dog Register at tamaskan-dog.org.

around them, they can suffer from separation anxiety and may do better with someone who works at home as opposed to spending long hours alone each day.

They can also be stubborn, so the Tamaskan needs to learn its place in the pack (which applies to most dogs), something you do not want to happen. The human has to maintain pack leader status. The only way for a relationship with the Tamaskan to work is for the human to be higher in the pack order. The Tamaskan needs to be challenged with physical and mental (they are highly intelligent) exercise.

Not trying to scare anyone off, just hoping to prevent any need for a Tamaskan having to enter a rescue or re-homing situation.

Like Jack Russell terriers (two of which live with me), this is probably not the best beast for a first-time dog owner. They are recommended for confident owners who are positive and persistent in their training.

The key with a pack animal like this is their desire to be included. So include them as much as possible in everything you do.

Be aware that they have a heightened prey drive, so they need to learn early not to chase other animals. You know, like “Squirrel!” But they are not total over-the-top idiots (said fondly) like my JRTs. Due to their personality and resemblance to wolves, these dogs are going to skyrocket in popularity. This, sadly, will be prime territory for puppy mills trying to rake in a profit.

Legitimate breeders follow intense and strict guidelines. A few of the requirements for Tamaskan breeders include: having all dogs DNA profiled prior to breeding; not breeding any female before the age of 18 months, or

INSTALLS DESIGN & INSTALLATION

BEAUTIFUL & FUNCTIONAL

WE CAN DESIGN AND INSTALL YOUR DREAM KITCHEN OR BATHROOM.

The money raised by the Kingston & District Civitan Club, a volunteer organization that supports people with disabilities, has already been put to use by purchasing a specialized stroller for a child with cerebral palsy. The stroller allows the two-year old to be positioned properly for feeding and to aid in his overall development.

“I actually came to Hotel Dieu to apply for a volunteer position,” said Mortlock. “But when I discovered the CDC I knew that we had to have a fundraiser for them.”

Civitan is an international organization dedicated to helping people with developmental disorders. Recently, when leaders of the local branch of the club were introduced to the staff of the CDC, they were inspired to raise money by raffling off a Martin guitar, which was donated by Renaissance Music.

“It is the mission of UHKF to inspire generosity for our patients, our region, and beyond,” adds Coull. “This gift is a true example of that mission in action.”

We have our own on-staff installers!

Harry with the Heaves held a special place in Mary’s heart My brother Emerson said I wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to the farm animals. Except for the cows, which I wasn’t too fond of, I wanted all the others for pets. Emerson said if I had any brains, I would know that you didn’t raise livestock for pets. Eventually, they would go off to market, or end up in the smoke house! But I tended to put those thoughts out of my mind. Even after my pet black lamb ended up on the supper table one night, sending me into hysterics and turning me against lamb for the rest of my life, I still thought I could make pets out of the farm animals.

Even though I wasn’t too fond of the cows, I loved the calves. It was no chore for me to feed a sickly calf from a bottle, until it was able to feed itself. Holding a screeching baby pig, with its soft body feeling like that of a real live baby, filled me with the utmost joy. And then there was poor old Harry with the Heaves. He was never called just plain Harry. It was Harry with the Heaves. Harry was a horse that had been around the farm long before I was born, and I loved him with a passion. Apart from the heaves, he had a sway where you could rest a couple bags of grain if you were so moved, and that was why he had the heaves, Father said. Harry with the Heaves was no longer able to do any farm work, and my sister Audrey said the only reason he was still kept around, was because Father knew how much I loved the poor old horse. He didn’t eat much, which maybe helped too.

Harry with the Heaves didn’t move around like the other horses, preferring to stand at the fence behind the barn, resting his head on the rails. Every day I would put a halter on him, and walk him very slowly around the barnyard. We wouldn’t be gone a dozen steps, when the heaves would start. They seemed to come right from his hooves. And I would stop and let him heave away until the spasm passed, and then we would walk around another few steps, with his head getting lower and lower to the ground. The few times we hitched him to the buggy, it was like we were giving him a new lease on life. There were strict orders from Father not to run Harry with the Heaves...just let him move at his own pace, which wasn’t very fast. But I could tell he loved pulling the buggy.

And we would circle the barnyard a couple times, until he could no longer breathe

easily. But it was enough to make the old horse feel he was needed, even if we really weren’t going anywhere. Other sickly animals would just disappear, and I knew perfectly well what their fate was. But Harry with the Heaves lived on, contributing nothing to the work load of the other horses, just living day by day with his condition getting worse right before my eyes.

And then one day, when I came home from school, I couldn’t see Harry with the Heaves anywhere. I thought he may have wandered into the field behind the barn, but no, he wasn’t there. I may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer, just like my brother Emerson said, but no one had to tell me that Harry with the Heaves wouldn’t be around any more. Nothing was said about his missing. Not a word from Father, the brothers...no one said a word. He was just gone. And I knew, without anyone telling me,

that my beloved horse was no more.

Not a word was spoken about his end. It was as if Harry with the Heaves had never existed.

A deep sadness came over me.

My horse was gone. Like so many disappointments, and sad happenings on the farm, there was no discussion…no explanation. It was thought the less said the better. I cried for Harry with the Heaves only when I was alone.

And I prayed wherever he had gone, he would be hale and hearty, running around with other horses, eating the finest hay and oats, his back in shape, and the heaves a thing of the past. To ease the pain in my heart, I had to believe it.

This buddy film may be terrible, but it’s hilarious

Central Intelligence is an absolute train wreck. Oh but what a glorious train wreck it is.

In high school Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) was the top athlete, top student, liked by everyone, and voted most likely to succeed. Robbie Weirdicht (Dwayne Johnson) on the other hand was known as Fat Robbie.

I think that pretty much sums up high school for Mr. Weirdicht.

It’s 20 years later, and their high school reunion is looming. Calvin isn’t inclined to go. He’s feeling that maybe he peaked in high school, and as an accountant he hasn’t lived up to expectations. Then from out of the blue he gets a friend request from a Bob Stone.

It turns out that Bob Stone is Robbie Weirdicht, and Fat Robbie is now 260 plus pounds of rock hard muscle. The two spend the evening catching up, and while Bob can’t believe he’s hanging out with the coolest kid in school, Calvin can’t believe how much Robbie has changed. It’s a great night, but Bob had other motives than just reminiscing.

It turns out Bob works for the CIA. He’s been tracking an international terrorist called the Black

Badger who has stolen America’s top secret satellite codes. He needs Calvin’s forensic accounting skills to help him track down a bidding site where the Badger is selling the codes. At this point it’s hard to say which is funnier, Bob’s crazed look or the look of fear and horror on Calvin’s face. Needless to say from here hilarity ensues.

over-the-top it enters the realm of the absurd, yet you can’t look away.

It’s almost like the film overpowers your better judgment until you give up and start laughing.

Amy Ryan who plays Pamela Harris the CIA agent chasing Bob, and Danielle Nicolet who plays Calvin’s wife Maggie are great. The truth however is this is pretty much the Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart show.

Unlikely pairings are big right now, and this one is pretty unlikely. Johnson redefines over-the-top with Bob. He goes from hero worship of Calvin and loving unicorns to jumping out of buildings and extreme acts of violence in the blink of an eye. It’s almost too much to take, and yet I still found myself laughing.

Hart on the other hand is the straight man in the duo playing scared silly better than anyone. The two together have a unique chemistry, and while it’s hard to put my finger on why it works, it totally works.

Central Intelligence is a terrible movie, and I loved every minute of it.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

MOVIE: Central Intelligence STARRING: Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Amy Ryan and Danielle Nicolet DIRECTOR: Rawson Marshall Thurber RATING: PG I’ve talked before about those rare bad movies that are good. Terrible movies that are so much fun to watch. They’re usually a happy accident, and I think that’s what we have here. Central Intelligence is a buddy comedy with Dwayne Johnson dragging Kevin Hart from one life threatening situation to the next. It’s so
