Needs of aging population prompts Fairmount Home to add personal support worker on trial basis By Craig Bakay
News — One inescapable result of the Baby Boom generation (1946-1964) getting older is that there will be an increased demand for long-term care. And nowhere will that effect be felt more than Fairmount Home, Director of Care Emily Shoniker and Interim Administrator Lisa Hirvi told Frontenac County Council at its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie. “In 2011, five million Canadians or 14 per cent of the population reached 65 years of age,” Shoniker said. “That’s one in seven Canadians. “By 2036, that will be 10 million Canadians or 25 per cent of the population.” In 2011, the average Coun. Tom Dewey and Sherry Whan are joined by workers Dale Cooper, Willis Deline, Adam Gray, Austin Esford and Adam Fairmount Home resident had low to high care needs, Guille as Central Frontenac held its annual Household Hazardous Waste Day last weekend.

several of which could provide their own care independently. They had a higher cognitive status, manageable responsive behaviours and usually only one chronic disease. In 2016, however, those numbers rose, with 66 per cent needing moderate to total assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), and 53 per cent needing twoperson care. Also there is increased cognitive impairment and physical aggression (which also puts staff at risk and increasing stress for workers). Many residents have more than one chronic disease. “I was working on the floor until 2014,” said Shoniker. “I’ve seen the effects the aging population has on workers and residents.” Continued on page 3

Agriculture information now available on Frontenac County maps happen to know a thing or two about farming. Not the least of which was Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal, who pointed out (in a good-natured way) that “there sure aren’t no 20 dairy farms in South Frontenac, there may be two.” And Coun. Denis Doyle was quick to note that “over the past five years, there’s been a switch from mixed farm-

Moran did, however, have an answer for them. “The data is updated every three or four years and yes, they are very broad definitions,” he said.

ing’ as it tends to be more inclusive of such operations as woodlots and apiaries), there was general agreement that there was valuable data presented in the mapping package such as agricultural property distribution for each member township. For example, Moran said that in North Frontenac, 9 per cent of the land is agricultural land. In Central Frontenac, 33 per cent is devoted to agriculture and 40 per cent in South Frontenac. In Frontenac Islands, it’s a whopping 77 per cent agricultural land. In total, 29 per cent of Frontenac County is agricultural land. Moran also presented data showing the four Southern Ontario Climatic Regions that cross Frontenac County including (from north to south) the Renfrew Climatic Region, Eastern Ontario Climatic Region, Simcoe and Kawartha Lakes Climatic Region and Lake Ontario Shores Climatic Region. One thing Council did suggest is more data on soil classes. That prompted a discussion on how soil classes can affect more than agriculture, having a significant impact on planning. “There’s more pressure on munici-

palities not to allow development on certain soil classes that can be productive,” said Vandewal. “With new techniques, and a changing climate, much previously questionable farmland can be more productive,” said Doyle. “There’s a provincial report on the subject expected soon.” Moran also pointed out that Frontenac County is not just land, there is a significant number of water bodies included. “And the development pressure on lakes is expected to increase,” said Coun. John Inglis. “Will we be getting some information on lake capacity and quality?” “Yes, I think there’s a good possibility of that,” said Joe Gallivan, director of planning. Vandewal also said that much of the information presented is available “somewhere. “There’s always some government agency calling asking what we’ve planted,” he said. “Yes, but now that information will be available at the County level,” said Anne-Marie Young, manager of economic development.

Needs of aging population prompts Fairmount Home to add personal support worker on trial basis continues to be relatively expensive but I will support this.” Council agreed to the project on a trial basis. When asked if one additional worker would make much of a difference, Hirvi and Shoniker both said: “It’s a start.”
Continued from page 1
Those effects include waiting up to 30 minutes for a response to a call bell — residents will sometimes try to get up themselves risking falls and injury, two-person transfers being done solo, and resident/family complaints. To that end, Shoniker and Hirvi Experience The Difference asked Council for an additional personal support worker on a fourFree On-Site Consultation month trial period. The total wages Free Estimates and benefits package for such a Installation & Delivery worker would be $85,800 per year Services Available or $28,600 for a four-month period (Sept. 16 to Dec. 16), after which Ask about our Contractor the impact of said worker would be 1185 California Avenue, pricing for large projects. Brockville evaluated. Hirvi said they actually received www.brockvillewoodproducts.ca more provincial Case Mix Index (613) 345-6836 www.facebook.ca/BrockvilleWoodProducts money than they expected and that would fund the position. “I guess I was a little alarmed by the requirements for care,” said Coun. Denis Doyle. “I can’t imagine waiting 30 minutes to go to the bathroom, I support this,” said Warden Frances Smith. “I was on Council when cuts were made,” said Coun. John McDougall. “It’s a different clientele now.” “All these pressures are being felt by all Long-Term Care facilities,” said Coun. John Inglis. “Fairmount

graphs and documenting County activities. CAO Kelly Pender said adding a second communications person would allow increased presence on social media, as well as more involvement in branding and such. The $55,000-$65,000 salary would be shared from the Frontenac Paramedic Service (the County department that make the most use of the communications person) as well as a plan to share communications with the five member townships. Coun. John Inglis said he didn’t think North Frontenac would go for it as they are already well served on social media. “We have a mayor who’s pretty slippery with social media,” Inglis said. “I don’t see a need.” “I’m kind of mixed,” said Coun. Ron Higgins, aka the mayor who’s pretty slippery with social media. “We are increasing communications but I’m not sure the value is there.” Coun. Denis Doyle wasn’t enamoured with the idea either. “I have a bit of a concern of not living up to our financial stewardship strategic goal,” Doyle said. “I don’t see any money lying around that would pay for this long-term.” “I won’t support even saying we need another member on staff,” said Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal. “Our newspapers are great com-
municators, I don’t think we need this,” said Warden Frances Smith. “I’m somewhat disturbed that all the CAOs didn’t come up with this,” said Coun. John McDougall. Council decided to have members take the proposal to their respective Councils to see if there was any support for such a measure. ••• A public meeting for input on the 2017 Frontenac County budget has been scheduled for Sept. 21. At one point, a date closer to the Nov. 23 detailed budget presentation had been considered but CAO Kelly Pender had sound reasoning behind the reason for an earlier meeting. “We changed it because of deer hunting season,” Pender said. ••• A proposal to put $100,000 in the 2017 budget for engineering/ architectural drawings to renovate the County offices in Glenburnie was shot down at County Council. The drawings would have been for a $2,800,000 addition plus renovations. Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal said they really have to look at just what they want to do before committing any money. “We can build a whole fire hall for a million and a half,” said Vandewal. “Have the report deferred to a design task force.
Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and sell part of a Township-owned road allowance as follows: Location: Part of Lot 18, Between Concessions VIII, District of Storrington Reason: The owner of property abutting the road allowance on the east, 4378 Atkins Lane, wishes to close the road to add to his land. This would also help facilitate two other abutting neighbours acquiring part of the road allowance. It is not anticipated that there would be any impact of this road closure on any other property-owners. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on August 2, 2016, at 7:00 PM. At that time, Council will hear in person any individual who claims that his or her land would be prejudicially affected and who has applied to be heard. Your comments or concerns to the Township would be appreciated before the above noted date. Contact Lindsay Mills, Planner for more details at 613-376-3027 Ext 2221.
VACATIONING IN SOUTH FRONTENAC? Established 1876
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

Yes Virginia, you can catch Pokemon in Sharbot Lake
By Craig Bakay

one Magicarp at various locations, including inside The Maples restaurant, outside the door at Mike Dean’s grocery store, Oso Beach, the government dock and Railway Heritage Park. Also, Pokeman gyms were noted at the Cardinal Café and Railway Park. Pokestops were present at St. Andrews church and the Post Office. Be forewarned though, a half hour of hunting used up more than half of a cell phone charge, or about the same usage as Google Street View. No Pokemon were observed at Crow Lake Village however, but that may have been because there were no bars (ie cell phone connection) to be had there either. Now many of you reading this will be nodding and noting that your trip to the lake won’t negatively impact your desire to evolve Pikachu. But for those of you wondering ‘what the hell are they talking about?’ here’s a brief primer on this contemporary phenomenon. Pokemon (a stylized word for ‘Pocket Monster’) began as a game for the Nintendo Game Boy in 1996. It expanded to the world of collectible trading card games in 1999 and has included all manner of expansions and evolutions. It has also spawned several movies and a television series. Earlier this year, Pokemon Go made its debut on cell phones and computer tablets and the Canadian version was released just last weekend. Clear as mud? Well, you could get a 10-year-old to explain it to you or keep reading. The idea is to catch Pokemon, little animated monsters that you can then set to battling each other. As your Pokemon wins battles, it grows in strength and ‘evolves’ with the evolved Pokemon becoming stronger and stronger with each evolution. At one time, you needed an oppo-
nent who had a Game Boy controller or someone with a Pokemon deck but with the advent of Pokemon Go, you can now play it (almost) anywhere in the world with a cell phone. Nintendo’s stock h a s gone through the roof since the game launched and it seems you can’t go anywhere (including the dock in Sharbot Lake where a family visiting from Columbia was fishing for Magicarp) without seeing people wandering around with t h e i r noses in their cellphones. It should be noted that a warning

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
New County logo/branding just the same old wine in a brand new, boring bottle Shield. If by memorable he meant forgettable, then OK. Relevant begs the question “to what?” As for distinctive, well, several councilors mentioned how much it reminded them of the Ontario Parks logo. Adaptable and enduring are kind of related because chances are it won’t ‘endure’ very long and will be adapted into something else. The logo comes with some rather indecipherable instructions to use it along with words like canoeing, or fishing or whatever as in Explore Frontenac.
Column — Nobody on Frontenac County Council other than Coun. John McDougall who said “I think it’s very attractive” and Coun. Tom Dewey who said nothing at all seemed very impressed by the County’s new ‘logo’ and ‘brand’ unveiled at last week’s Council meeting in Glenburnie. For $40,000, the County got a new logo that looks suspiciously like it was ripped off from Ontario Parks and a bunch of bafflegab about ‘branding’ things like Frontenac this and Frontenac that. Granted, most of the cost will likely be paid from a grant the County is expecting to get but still - is this the best we can come up with? According to the kid from Redtrain! (notice the ridiculous and unnecessary exclamation mark) making the presentation, this new ‘logo/brand’ is “simple, memorable, relevant, distinctive, adaptable and enduring.” Well, as for simple, he needed to explain to everybody that the four balsam fir trees represent the four townships and the gray part was the Canadian
Kanata Kourier-StandardDep. Warden Ron Vandewal prob-
ably had the most relevant comment to that. “I’d still like to see the word ‘County’ in there, he said. “I’d have to explore whether it was a fort or a beer.” Other councilors were less complimentary. “It didn’t have any ‘wow’ factor,” said Coun. Denis Doyle. “Without the explanation, I wouldn’t have known

what the colours meant.” “I like the simplicity but I have a bit of a problem with the black leaf in the water,” said Coun. Natalie Nossal. “It looks like debris floating down the river.” Both North Frontenac representatives, Ron Higgins and John Inglis, said exactly the same thing in a different order. “No ‘wow’ factor but I like the simplicity.” “I didn’t care for it when I first saw it but it’s grown on me a bit,” said Warden Frances Smith. “I don’t even think there is a fir tree in Frontenac Islands,” said Doyle. It really doesn’t matter what Council thinks though. Staff already went ahead and printed up a bunch of stuff (banners, stationary, etc) with the new logo on it. Hell, they even put it on the side of one of those new dinky little cars, so Council had little choice but to accept it. It’s a waste of money, to be sure, but it’s unlikely it’ll last any longer than Frontenac Management Board did. Let’s face it, there simply aren’t that many people that are going to buy into the idea of dropping the word “County” because there really isn’t any reason to. This is just another attempt at being trendy from the people who brought you “Wildly Important Goals.”

Five things to know about the Canada Child Benefit Editorial - If you are the parent of one or more children from the age of zero to 17, chances are your bank account swelled a bit larger than usual on July 20. That day saw the introduction of one the federal Liberals’ signature social benefit: the Canada Child Benefit. Here are five things you might want to know about this benefit: 1) For most families the Canada Child Benefit is bigger than its predecessors, the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) and the Universal Child Care Benefit UCCB. It still has two payment levels, one for children aged zero to six and another for ages six to 17; however the gulf between the two is no longer so stark. Now, to give credit to where credit is due, Prime Minister Stephen Harper began this process when he expanded the Universal Child Care Benefit from $100 to $160 for children aged zero to six, and to $60 from $160 for older children, but the geared-to income Canada Child Benefit typically outperforms both of these credits. Unless you have a combined family net income of over $200,000 - in which case you will no longer receive any benefit. 2) Unlike the UCCB, the CCB is not taxable, meaning that you won’t be getting dinged at tax time. Also important to note, however, is that the Canada Child Benefit also witnessed the demise of some very popular tax credits including the child fitness benefits, the children’s arts tax credit, as well as the credit for textbooks and the education tax credits. Tuition will remain a deductible expense. 3) Because the benefit is based upon net family’s combined net income, you do have to file your taxes to be eligible for benefit -just another reason to be an early filer. With several free software options out there, there’s no reason to file. If you required assistance with your returns, look for your local community income tax volunteer clinic to assist with your returns. 4) The program will be indexed to inflation starting in 2020. That means that if the total cost of living increases two per cent per year over the net four years, the real purchasing power of your benefit will have declined by about eight per cent before it kicks in. 5) Though not in any official government guide, the new benefit may well lay the groundwork for what is almost certain to be the 21st century’s signature social achievement: the universal income. The CCB is the most ambitious social benefit in a generation, aimed at bringing thousands of Canadian families out of poverty and reasserting the purchasing power of the Canadian middle class. Presently, the only people not receiving a government benefit are childless people aged 18 to 65 (who not are currently on CPP disability, EI, or Provincial social welfare programs). Can closing that gap really be that for off?

My trip to the Pen Last week Korey and I took a trip to Kingston Penitentiary. Like so many others, we were interested to see what is behind the big gates that face out onto King St. and we weren’t disappointed. I know that touring a prison is unappealing for a lot of people and many Kingston residents that have grown up with the Pen just down the
street don’t have any desire to tour the Pen, but I really think the tour was worthwhile and very informative. From the beginning it is made clear that the tour is not about the notorious prisoners who spent time behind the walls. The guides inform tour goers that the best place for their inquiries about those people is Google and that they will not be answering questions about those individuals. Instead, the tour focuses on the history of the Kingston Penitentiary, and what daily life would have been like throughout the pen. I don’t want to give too much away, but the tour takes you through
WHAT'S ON KINGSTONREGION.COM • • • • • • • •

various major hubs behind the walls. You get a glimpse into the cells, the workshops, the recreation yard and you also get to hear from Correction Service Canada guards who spent time in the prison while it was open. Sure, this may not be interesting for some people and I totally get that, but the history is what really impressed me. I like exploring historical sites and learning about how and when they were built and in some cases even rebuilt. In the case of Kingston Pen, there is a lot of history to draw on and the only downside to the tour is that so much of the pen was dismantled immediately after it closed. The tour
excludes buildings like the on site hospital or gymnasium simply because the rooms are now in disrepair and not suitable for tours. Even in the areas that are open to the tour, not much is left; tables have been ripped out and ceremonial garden spaces dismantled and that is such a shame. I’m not saying that I want to see the pen exactly as it was when prisoners were walking the halls, that is a bit creepy, but it would be interesting, especially in the future, to have certain areas of the prison preserved more. Another aspect of the pen that impressed me was the shear size of the prison behind the front gates. When
you drive past those gates you think about the prison inside, but when you stand in there it feels enormous and almost like it is a gated community. No mater how many times you hear that it was Canada’s largest prison, it doesn’t really click until you are inside. Overall, the tour was pretty great. Our guide was informative, she answered a lot of questions and even told anecdotes about attempted escapes throughout the tour. I walked away with the feeling that I had learned more about Kingston and the history of one of the city’s most famous landmarks and for me, that was definitely worth the time and money.

Paying respects to a fallen firefighter By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

On July 16, Loyalist firefighter, correctional officer and Canadian Forces veteran Patrick Pidgeon, 45, was killed in the line of duty while battling a blaze at an Amherstview apartment building. Grief over Pidgeon’s tragic and untimely death was felt throughout the community, and on July 23 members of the public had the opportunity to pay their respects with a formal procession and memorial service. Thousands lined the streets of Kingston and Amherstview as a fire engine draped in black led a procession that departed from James Reid Funeral Home at noon and travelled west to the W.J. Henderson Recreation Centre in Amherstview. . Approximately 1,800 uniformed officers from the military, Corrections and Ontario and Quebec fire departments attended the private memorial service, as did the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Elizabeth Dowdeswell. The service included a special bell ceremony and a prayer, in accordance with the International Association of Firefighters’ protocol for a line of duty death. Pidgeon enrolled in the Cana-
dian Armed Forces in 1994 and devoted 22 years to his country as a reservist with a number of deployments, including serving in Bosnia and two tours of Afghanistan. He served as a correctional officer at Kingston Pen from 2003 – 2013, and at Millhaven Institution from 2013 until his death. He joined Loyalist Township Emergency Services as a firefighter in August of 2015. Pidgeon leaves behind a wife and son. “Patrick Pidgeon was a very humble and private man,” said Loyalist Township mayor Bill Lowry. “Through his life, no matter the mission that he chose - as a spouse, parent, military officer, correctional services officer, emergency responder and firefighter – he was committed to all of these with the same principles of dedication, passion and pride to serve and protect all. Patrick leaves a legacy that is second to none.” “Pride, passion and dedication – Fire Fighter Pidgeon was guided by theses value in every endeavor,” said Loyalist Township Emergency Services Fire Chief Fred Stephenson. “His path was one that gave him honour and pride.”

New funding will enhance support for home care and caregivers in South East LIHN By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – A new investment from the Ontario government aims to make life easier for patients seeking home care and their caregivers. On July 21, MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, announced that the province is investing approximately $5,080,100 across the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) this year to enhance support for home care clients with high needs, and their caregivers. “We know that home is where our loved ones want to be and where they are the healthiest and happiest,” explained Kiwala. “And this funding will provide an increase in home care services and also provide respite services for caregivers who are very much in need.” Kiwala announced that provincewide, that the government is investing $80 million for enhanced home care and $20 million for caregiver respite, respectively. These investments will translate to 350,000 additional hours of nursing care and 1.3 million additional hours of personal support. In the South East LIHN, the investment means that the South East Community Care Access Center (CCAC) will expand service provision to clients with complex care needs, while increasing consistency of service provision as well. “Essentially it will enable us to provide more care to more people, especially to people with complex needs,” explained Jacqueline Redmond, CEO of the South East CCAC. “It will also allow us to focus on respite more. For the past year we have been hearing that there is a huge gap in this area and we are going to address that now.” Kiwala herself emphasized the need for respite care among caregivers and shared her own personal experience with home care and caregiving. “My own mother’s story is a great example; as soon as she was diagnosed with colon cancer and she was told that it was palliative, she made it clear that she wanted home care,” said Kiwala. “I had the wonderful opportunity to receive home care services and at that time I was on my own with a three month old and an 18 month old. I can’t tell you what it meant to me and my family to have assistance.” Kiwala also explained that with young children, sleep was hard to come by and she felt the burnout that
comes with caring for a loved one. “The burnout is very real. I ex-
pected to do it all by myself, and I didn’t know there was an option for
respite care until the healthcare system told me,” she said. “I know that this funding will be so appreciated and it will be invaluable to those caregivers that are struggling.” Of the over $5 million announced, a total of $1,064,000 will be allotted to support caregivers including respite care and additional personal sup-
port hours to caregivers in the greatest need. For some caregivers this will provide a much needed break to do things like run errands, visit family and friends and take time for themselves. “This will allow for more Personal Support Worker services in the home allowing the loved one to go out and go do their own things and have the confidence and piece of mind to know that their loved one is being cared for while they are out,” said Redmond. “That is so valuable to these caregivers and so important for their own health too.”

Amherstview designer stumbles upon calling for carpentry hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
A couple of years ago, Rob Purvis got sick of giving people the same old, store bought Christmas gifts, so he decided to make original wood items for his friends and family instead. “Everybody already has everything so I thought I’d make something unique and different,” says Purvis, who by day is a graphic designer with Metroland (and occasional Loyalist Township mayoral candidate). “So I made my family a couple of picture frames, and then I started doing these four-by-four candleholders.” He put some photos of the projects up on his personal Facebook page and people liked what they saw. “People wanted me to make stuff them for them, so I started making different things,” Purvis explains. He says he’d never done anything like this before, but had the equipment around anyway from building a deck for his home and thought what the heck. “As a kid I always helped around with my dad and my grandparents
building decks, but that’s pretty much it. I hadn’t touched a saw in probably 20 years.” Still, before long he had a little business going out of his Amherstview home’s garage, fuelled solely by word of mouth and social media posts. He decided he’d better give the business a name, and RusticDesign.ca was born, complete with its own Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. “I’ve just learned it all by myself,” Purvis says. “A lot from YouTube and plans from the internet definitely helped out a lot, but now that I have a good grasp on it I’m able to come up with my own designs and figure it out.” He’ll also replicate designs people show him pictures of. “People will say ‘can you make me something like this?’ and we’ll either put our own spin on it or we’ll make it look exactly the same if we can.” These days, Purvis is making a lot of personalized wood signs with family names and other words or phrases. His fiancée, Tanis, does all the painting. “I build, she paints. She does
an amazing job. Without her, we wouldn’t have any of the wood signs.” He’s also started making larger items - furniture such as coffee tables and coat racks. “ T h a t started with my cousin, who owns her own massage business in Kemptville. She sent me a message asking if I could help her build a reception desk so I was like yeah, sure. I built an eight-foot-long/ four-foot-wide reception desk, put that on my page and people started asking if I could do coffee tables. It just snowballed from there.” Purvis remarks that it feels good to be able to provide people with quality, real wood furniture at reasonable prices – something that’s next to impossible to find these days in stores, which usually feature either low quality pressed-board or high end pieces at prices that are out of reach for most people: “I can make it affordable and last a long time,” he says, noting that the best part of the process is seeing people’s reactions. “Often they’ve been wanting a really nice piece of furniture for

When they come and pick it up or I drop it off, seeing the look on their face, being so happy - that’s probably my favourite part.” It’s also given him a new outlet for his creativity. “I’m creative to begin with, Rob Purvis makes all his wood items and furniture so to be able to out of his garage in Amherstview.

Rough and tumble camaraderie
With moves and body hits that would make your average FIFA player squeal like a pig and collapse in “pain,” the Kingston Derby Girls block, pummel even, and try to outdo their opponents on the flat track at the Kingston Memorial Centre. The local roller derby club recently completed the qualifying requirements to become full members of WFTDA, the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association. Last Saturday, Kingston’s premier charter team, the Rogue Warriors, losing a close and hard-fought battle against the WFTDA-sanctioned Toronto G-Stars, showed they were ready for the big time. The rules of roller derby are explained on the Kingston Derby Girls (kingstonderbygirls.com) website. Essentially, roller derby is a battle on an oval track between two teams, with each having five players on the track. Play is divided into two-minute periods, called jams.
The skater in the jammer’s role scores points by passing opponents. Opposing blockers and pivots try to stop or slow down the jammer. Players may block or check using their shoulders, upper arms, hips, or upper legs. Tripping, punching, and shoving are illegal and can lead to penalties, which can lead a player to the Sin Bin (penalty box). Outside of player names, there are no theatrics in this sport. You won’t find posturing and drama-queen tactics like those in soccer or the diving in hockey. Roller derby is tough stuff. When a player is blocked and sent flying to the ground, fans feel the crunch of flesh, muscle and bone meeting concrete. During last week’s game, two members of the Kingston team, nursing broken legs in casts, sat in the audience. It’s fitting that the contests are referred to as bouts, not games. It’s a battle on the track. There’s no let up in the bumping and thumping. It’s a fascinating sport, involving the best of many other competitions. You’ve got the strategic planning of chess or baseball and the hard hitting and rough stuff typical of rugby and football, with a

mates check on one another and offer a friendly pat on the shoulder after a hard fall on the M-Centre’s concrete floor. I was told by members of the Kingston team that after the previous week’s game in Syracuse, the host team had gone out socializing with the Kingston folks following the game, which Kingston won. “I told my cousin, who plays hockey, we were going to the after-party. My cousin was quite surprised that the after-parties are so mixed with players from both teams. Sure, there are nicer teams and crueller teams. But by the time we get to the beer, everyone’s let it go. If not, they just say that something was really douchey, they get it off their chest and they have time to regroup and get it back together.” Some of the Derby Girls publicly go by their real names; others only identify with their derby names. Team member Madge Maggiacomo (Mad Madge) has been responsible for much of the administrative work that has gone into the team reaching full membership in WFTDA. She said WFTDA recognition means that the team will have an opportunity to play more competitive teams and to play in major tournaments. Roller derby worldwide is gaining a lot of recognition. “We are slowly but surely getting a more comprehensive and consistent rule set, which makes it easier for Roller Derby to maybe eventually become an Olympic sport.” The WFTDA requirements for Kingston to move from status as an apprentice team to full membership have been time consuming. “It takes a lot of womanpower to maintain and meet those requirements,” said Maggiacomo. She said that one of the final require-
ments is called a mock sanction bout. The Kingston team fulfilled this requirement last Saturday. “It’s a major component of the requirements,” said Maggiacomo. “It’s up to the derby gods now. In January 2014, we were accepted as an apprentice league, and that set everything in motion.” Maggiacomo echoed what many women describe as their attraction to derby. “It’s a full contact sport, and I really love the roller derby community. So many great and loving people play, ref and volunteer for this sport. I have been playing since September 2011, and I don’t ever see an end for me.” Zed, one of Mad Madge’s Rogue Warrior teammates and the head of training for the league, said that it’s now a waiting game to determine if and when they are accepted for full membership in WFTDA. She said that many of the requirements for recognition have to do with making sure the team and league have infrastructure in place. Zed is the captain and skater for the charter team (The Rogue Warriors) and plays on the local league team, The Disloyalists. She shares Mad Madge’s love for the sport. “At the end of the day, it’s a strategy game on skates with a lot of bulldozing and heavy hitting,” she said. “That’s the fun part.” Zed entered the league in 2010 when she joined at the “fresh meat” level. That’s where skaters learn the finer points of the game and improve their skating skills. When ready, she joined a team, the Limestone Crushers, before moving on to a Watertown, New York team.

rather minimal set of protective gear: helmet, knee and elbow pads. What is striking about the nature of this sport is its family friendliness. There is none of the fan or player ugliness you find in many professional (or even amateur) sports, never mind the idiocy or gang battles found around European soccer stadiums. Even between rivals, opposing team-

Rough and tumble camaraderie Continued from page 14
After Watertown, she moved to a Belleville team, which she also helped coach, before returning to Kingston. She said last Saturday’s WFTDA mock bout was a full “I’m about to kick your ass bout. It was a formal game with the roster of skaters approved, a full referee crew and non-skating crew, along with stats kept for all the penalties, jams and strikes per jam.” The coach of Kingston’s Rogue Warriors is Nicole (Vishous) Lee, who travels from Watertown to work with the team. “She’s an amazing coach, and we’re a tight-knit little team,” said Zed. She explained that the camaraderie is one of the things that draws her to derby. “One of the biggest things I love about this sport is how much is shared. Teams share their playing and coaching skills with other teams. Not many sports would do that, but we as a community want to get better, so we foster each other’s development with tips and tools. It’s not mean-spirited. We’re just a group of people enjoying the sport.” The team is a diverse collection with the only unifying theme being a love for derby. “We’ve had lawyers, police officers, engineers, profs and waitresses on the team,” said Zed. “You look at the team and you’ve got every shape under the sun. We’re all willing to wear spandex. There’s muscle and strength, and we’re fearless. It’s a totally different way of looking at what it is to be a woman.” Zed and her husband have two daughters, and she said she likes the message that derby gives to young women. “I look at my own daughters and the dynamics
of what we teach them. When they see roller derby, they see power and women able to make their own way without needing protection. There’s real woman power. The biggest thing is not skating skills, it’s determination and self-discipline. Motivation will fail you when things get hard, but self-discipline and inspiration keep you going. What you see on this team on the track is six or seven years of hard work.” Each of the jammers on Kingston’s Rogue Warriors is beyond gutsy, operating at the fearless superwoman level. One of them, Lil Knickers, wears a short skirt, and amidst grace and more than a touch of class, does any number of definitely unladylike moves to smash her way through blockers to reach the front of the pack. Another, (#15) Fist N Shout, is relatively petite, but rock solid. She did things I did not think were possible. “Yeah, she’s an insane jammer,” said Zed. “ The things she can do are unbelievable. She comes to us from gymnastics. I think she could go out there and do this on stilettos.” Anyone interested in roller derby starts at the fresh meat level, where they learn to skate as well as getting to feel the knocks of the game. “If someone finds they are intimidated by contact, but still wants to be involved, there are lots of opportunities. They can still become part of the community. We need referees and non-skating officials who play an absolutely essential role in this league.” If you’re interested in finding out more about the Kingston team or you’d like to try things out at the fresh meat level, contact info@kingstonderbygirls. com

Doctors hope new Kingston Fertility Center will better serve patients and reduce wait times By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – For patients seeking fertility treatments in Kingston, life just got easier. On July 13, the new Kingston Fertility Center opened its doors for the first time. The center came out of collaboration between the Ottawa Fertility Center and the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kingston General Hospital. Doctors hope that the new center will better serve a growing number of patients in the area. “We’ve had a partnership with KGH for over 20 years now,” explained Dr. Delani Kotarba, a member of the Ottawa Fertility Center team. “Patients from the area come to Ottawa for their actual In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments, but their initial appointments and pre-treatments were taken care of by KGH. With a growing number of patients, it was becoming overwhelming.”
Wait times were also a factor in the decision to start a new center in Kingston; with only two doctors at KGH taking care of pre-IVF patients for a large catchment area, wait times were substantial and in some cases as long as nine months. “We noticed that patients were starting to come to Ottawa for their consultations as well because they didn’t want to wait at KGH,” said Kotarba. “So we thought it would be a good idea to come to this area and service this population, not as a competitor with KGH, but as a partner.” The new clinic, located at 1473 John Counter Boulevard, is still in the initial stages of setting up, but as more patients become interested, it will be fully equipped with a blood clinic, pharmacy, ultra sound machines and examination rooms allowing patients to do everything necessary in preparation for their IVF treatment.

Kingston toddler inspires fundraising event for rare disease By Hollie Pratt-Campbell
hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
Back in February, The Heritage told you about a four-year-old girl, Allie, who suffers from a rare form of nephrotic syndrome for which there is no cure or even specific treatment. Five months later, there is still no cure but Allie remains in stable condition after continuing to receive a mix of treatments generally used for other similar nephrotic diseases. On July 30, community members are invited to attend a special fundraiser being held in Allie’s honour. ‘For the Love of Al’ will take place from 7 – 11 p.m. at the Tett Centre and feature a variety of local arts entertainment. “I’ve been working with Allie for several years now and our family is really close with their family,� say Cameron Hill-Watson, 18, who is organizing the event along with Allie’s mom, Sandy. Thanks in part to Hill-Watson’s family, Allie, whose immunecompromising medications force her to live in a sort of ‘micro-world’ where she has minimal contact with the public, is able to have some fun outside the home and play with friends her own age. “We’ve known her since she was two years old,� Hill-Watson says, explaining that she’s worked as Allie’s nanny for the past two summers. “She’s really sweet; she’s good friends with my sister. She comes over to our place a couple of days a week and we go over there a couple of days a week to help out.� All funds raised at For the Love of Al will go to NephCure, the only organization that actively raises money for the various forms of steroid-dependant nephrotic
syndrome and FSGS (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, the cause of NS in about one sixth of the cases, including Allie’s) and advocates for those living
with the disease. “It’s a disease that has very little treatment, no cure and not a lot of research. Because it’s so rare, no one really knows about it and so there’s not a lot of funding for research.� The event will feature a concert by the band Talk of the Street – “they’re extremely talented so we’re super excited about that�,� notes Hill-Watson. There will also be a silent auction featuring art

met before. We reached out to them because we knew their art in Kingston and they said yes, for sure.� This being the first event of its kind, Hill-Watson says it’s difficult to come up with an exact monetary fundraising goal. More than anything, she’d like to simply to raise awareness of this condition. “These kids are really, really sick, living in isolation and no one even knows that they’re here,� she says. “We hope that people learn what [nephrotic syndrome] is and how there isn’t a cure - it’s so rare that the only treatments they have are treatments from other diseases that are similar.� For the Love of Al will take place Saturday, July 30 at the Tett Centre from 7 – 11 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door.

Doctors hope new Kingston Fertility Center will better serve patients and reduce wait times Continued from page 16
“Our physicians from Ottawa will also be coming here in the beginning and rotating week to week,” said Kotarba. “It is also likely that the doctors working at KGH will spend some time working here too. It is a real partnership that is a continuation of what we did in the past with the fertility group at KGH.” The clinic will also serve a growing number of patients seeking IVF after the Ontario government made an announcement in December of last year that they will cover one IVF treatment
for couples under the age of 43. Response to the center has already been positive and Kotarba had a full day of patients to see on July 13. Eventually, a full-time physician will be hired for the center, but in the meantime, Kotarba will also serve patients over the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). “We can set up appointments in this office and then meet with our patients over a Skype like system,” explained Kotarba. “We can talk remotely and it is covered by OHIP. It is nice to be here, but for follow-ups this is a great option and perfect for going back and

forth with patients.” Kotarba thinks the new center will be a great addition to the health network in Kingston and she knows that patients as far away as Belleville and Brockville will also appreciate the new center. “We are very proud of what we do and very happy with the partnership we have with KGH,” she said.

It is a lovely space and it is nice to not be in a hospital. It is really accessible, there is free parking – it’s perfect.”

Pear pizza on the grill a great summer appetizer This appetizer is perfect for casual entertaining at the cottage or in your backyard. It goes well with either a VQA white wine or an Ontario craft beer. Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Grilling time: 8 minutes Serves 8 to 10 (Makes 40 pieces) Ingredients • 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced Ontario shallots • 3 tbsp (45 mL) balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup • 1 pkg (650 g) pizza dough, thawed if frozen • 3/4 cup (175 mL) crumbled blue cheese (113 oz/.104 kg) • 3 bartlett pears, peeled and sliced thinly Preparation instructions • In small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots; reduce heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally until golden brown and very soft, five to eight minutes. Add vinegar and maple syrup; simmer
gently until shallots are glazed and most of the liquid has evaporated, five to six minutes. Remove from heat. • Lightly oil a clean counter. Roll or stretch out dough into two 6- x 12inch (15 x 30 cm) rectangles. • Preheat barbecue to high. Place both dough rectangles on grill, close lid and reduce heat to medium-high. Grill for two minutes; flip over and grill another two minutes. If dough puffs up, press down with a metal spatula. Remove from grill. • Using metal spatula, spread cheese
evenly over pizza crusts. Arrange pears, then shallots evenly over cheese. Return pizzas to grill, reduce heat to low and grill until dough is cooked through and slightly charred on the bottom, two to four minutes. Remove from grill, cool slightly and cut into pieces.

Two OPP officers taken to hospital after collision between cruiser, milk truck the detective, who was in the passenger seat, but found that the passenger side door was lodged against a sign post and could not be opened. “He was unconscious and had a big gash on the back of his head. We had to get him out through the driver’s side door when we couldn’t open the passenger door.” The OPP detective regained consciousness shortly thereafter. Corcoran and other passersby remained until EMS and other OPP cruisers arrived. Corcoran saw the incident as an opportunity to repay the kindness that her family had experienced at the hands of another OPP officer last year. “OPP Sargent Earle saved my sister’s life back in November last year when she was in an accident. When I was speaking with the officers after we pulled them out, I found out that they work with him. It was good to be able to help and thank them.” As of press time, the cause of the crash was under investigation by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). The driver of the cruiser remained in hospital and the passenger was released after being treated for facial injuries.
By Cris Vilela
Two OPP officers with the Napanee detachment were taken to hospital on the afternoon of July 20 after their cruiser was involved in a motor vehicle collision with a large milk truck on County Road 4 in Loyalist Township. Loyalist Emergency Services and the OPP reported that two patients were treated on scene and transported to hospital for continued treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries. OPP say the driver of the milk truck did not sustain any injury. According to witnesses on the scene, one officer suffered a broken shoulder and the other head injuries. Krista Corcoran was driving by at around 2:30 p.m., shortly after the collision occurred. “I didn’t even realize it had involved a police cruiser at first, it was one of those dark cruisers with faint lettering so I couldn’t tell,” she explained. “Me and another guy who also stopped went to the driver’s side of the car and got the constable in the driver’s seat out. He said his shoulder was broken and couldn’t move it.” Corcoran and the unidentified male Good Samaritan then moved to help

Emerson tests out Mary’s dislike for mud pout
HELP WANTED
Plant Production Associate – 2 Year Contract Belleville, Ontario Job # MFG00005235 Our Belleville manufacturing site is seeking highly motivated, reliable and flexible individuals with a commitment to safety and total quality to be a part of our diverse operating teams.

Production associates must be able to work well individually and as part of a self-directed team handling multiple priorities in an ever-changing environment.
My dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table, where, when laid out on the platter, I wouldn’t dare cast an eye, knowing perfectly well, I would be sick as a dog at the very sight. Mother knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead. My three brothers would wander down to the river this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo, and would have a pail full, ready for Mother to cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.” My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big black iron fry pan, and vision the fish, which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in the pan was because they were still alive, which distressed me even further. The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when once again, a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and

the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air like gossamer clouds, and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery. Father had peeled off his plaid shirt, and Emerson went upstairs and came down in his underwear. I couldn’t wait to crawl into the fresh cool flour bag sheets and hopefully feel a bit of night air come in the window near the bed, and put the thought of the ugly mud pout out of my mind. Usually my brothers complained about going to bed. They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen. I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. And then my feet touched something...wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed bloody murder; Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar. Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout first. It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey to change the sheets, even though they had been put on fresh that day, and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout. I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block, and the ugly mud pout. And long into the night, I thought I could hear Emerson downstairs in the kitchen, laughing his head off!

Events – Over the past few weeks, Confederation Park and many other places in Kingston have been buzzing with Pokémon Goers; Jessie Johnston is one of those ‘goers’ and as she saw the response the game was receiving, she wondered if the game could also benefit the community. “It was a random thought as I was driving to Wonderland,” she explained. “The community in Kingston had grown so quickly in such a short period of time and I saw how eager everyone was just to do Pokémon meet ups. I suggested doing a charity event to a few people and everyone I spoke to thought it was a great idea. It just exploded from there.” Much like the mobile game itself, the event, which takes place on July 30, took off very quickly. Johnston and a group of nine organizers started thinking of what they could do to attract people and make the event more appealing and the ideas kept coming. “It is really exciting,” said Johnston. “We are working on setting up some games and getting raffle prizes and setting off lures for the game throughout the day too. Just making it a really fun day for people, but with the added bonus of giving back to the community.” Raffle prizes will include 3-D printed Pokémon figures, stuffed toys, locally made Pokémon crafts and even a custom Pokémon hat with your chosen team logo created by Turtle Cat Designs.

For the charitable side of the event, the group decided to give donations to the Partners in Mission Food Bank and as participants donate items, they will receive rafďŹ&#x201A;e tickets. They also arranged to work with one of the hot dog vendors in Confederation Park for the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be donating 50 cents from each hot dog sold to the food bank,â&#x20AC;? said vendor Scott Hallman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These PokĂŠmon Go players have supported my business a lot over the past few weeks and it is really important that I integrate myself into their community as well. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say no.â&#x20AC;? In addition to organizing the event, Johnston and co-organizer Brittany Sears are also looking forward to playing PokĂŠmon Go during the event. Both have been getting more and more into the game over the past few weeks and they also see it as more than just a video game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I ďŹ rst got the game I was all excited to go out with my kids and ďŹ nd PokĂŠmon with them, but I got really into it myself and wanted to play it on my own,â&#x20AC;? explained Sears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has gotten me out of the house more and I am meeting people too. It is a really social game and I think people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that.â&#x20AC;? For Johnston, the game has also made her more active and social, but it has also been educational, especially when it comes to landmarks in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We drove by Sir John Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law ofďŹ ce today and it is a Poke Stop and I read about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have never done that before. I love history, but I never would have known about that place without PokĂŠmon.â&#x20AC;?

Both Johnston and Sears acknowledge that there has been some negativity surrounding the game, especially when it comes to personal safety, but they feel that a lot of those issues can be prevented through common sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game tells you to be aware of your surroundings and people need to be more cautious,â&#x20AC;? said Johnston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least with an event like this, everyone can come to the park, play with each other and hopefully be safe too.â&#x20AC;? Sears is hoping that a good number of people show up and that maybe players who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played but are interested come out too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all about community. We have an amazing community here and this is a great way for them to come together even more,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great opportunity for everyone to get out and have some fun, enjoy the summer and give back.â&#x20AC;? The PokĂŠmon Go Kingston Community Food Drive takes place July 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Confederation Park.

I took my daughter to see Ghostbusters. She really enjoyed the original films, and wanted to see the new one. She wasn’t really aware of the controversy around it. To her it was just a new Ghostbusters film, and she loved it. Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) has given up believing in ghosts to pursue a career teaching ‘real’ science. That is until Ed Mulgrave (Ed Begley Jr.) comes to Erin looking for help with a ghost problem. He has a copy of a book she co-wrote with Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) all about ghosts. Erin doesn’t need this because she’s trying to get tenure, but that doesn’t stop her from going to see Abby. Abby is hard at work with her new partner Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) on proving all those theories about ghosts she and Erin had. The three investigate Ed’s little ghost problem only to come face to face with a real ghost. Everything they thought was theoretical just became practical. The three begin investigating more occurrences. They’re joined by Patty (Leslie Jones) who’s had her own supernatural encounter while working for the New York City Subway. They hire Kevin (Chris Hemsworth) to be their receptionist. The only question is where are all these ghosts coming from? It turns out local genius and nut job Rowan North (Neil Casey) is behind it all. He plans to break the barrier between worlds, and unleash the undead on New York. It’s going to
take Ghostbusters to stop him. I’ll admit I wasn’t thrilled that this was a reboot. I wanted it to be a sequel. After seeing it I’m not so bothered. First off the special effects were dazzling. The ghosts and the proton beams have never looked so good. Secondly it’s fall-off-your-seat funny. Thirdly Ghostbusters has some seriously slick action sequences. The fight scene between the Ghostbusters and the hordes of undead is worth the price of admission all on its own. Lastly there’s the cast. These four women are some of the funniest people alive. Kate McKinnon plays the mad scientist full tilt from beginning to end. I never knew what she was going to do or say next, all I knew is I was going to be laughing. Leslie Jones is a force of nature. She delivers lines like lightning and each one funnier than the last. Kristen Wiig is hysterical when she’s the serious scientist, or when she’s drooling over Kevin, or when she’s busting ghosts. Lastly Melissa McCarthy nails it once again. She’s never not funny. A lot of ignorant fools came out against this film before they even saw it. After seeing it I can say these four women are awesome. Ghostbusters is awesome. Best of all is how it pays respect to the past with almost every original cast member making a cameo including a bust of the late Harold Ramis. The fools can shut up now. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Tis the season to really watch out for the other driver Summer travel season is definitely in high swing and with it comes a collision risk we all need to consider. I got a heartpounding lesson in this risk recently as I came close to being involved in a multivehicle pile-up. While travelling my usual route from work to home recently I noted a mid-sized sedan making a legal u-turn on the two-lane road ahead. There was one vehicle between it and mine and we both had good unobstructed views and were able to slow down to allow the misguided driver to make his/her maneuver. This vehicle was originally travelling in the oncoming lane and obviously missed its turn. Once it completed the u-turn it immediately began executing a left turn to get back onto the missed laneway. That’s when a pick-up truck behind me decided to pass on a double-line to avoid the slow-down and the turning sedan impacted the truck’s right rear wheel as it went by. You might think that this was just going to be a fender bender, but because of the truck’s speed and the angle of impact, the truck spun out and its driver was lucky to bring it back under control. Oh and I forgot to mention this all occurred on a bridge over a river so hopefully that truck driver went out and bought a lottery ticket because he was smiled upon by a very benevolent spirit. The moral is, never assume any vehicle you share the road with is going to make predictable moves. During our vacation season there are a lot of drivers out there who are unfamiliar with the ter-
ritory and missed turns, slow-downs, and u-turns increase exponentially. Before heading out on that camping or boating trip with your trailer in tow, check first to see if your vehicle’s wheel jack will work on the trailer and that you have a serviceable spare for it. It’s amazing the number of temporarily abandoned expensive boat and camper trailers we see on the roadside during summer travel season that have a flat. Not only does this leave property at risk of theft, it also creates a hazard to other motorists. Don’t forget to make sure you have a proper lug nut wrench for the trailer wheels. If you’re missing any of this vital equipment, a quick trip to your neighbourhood auto-parts store can easily rectify things without a major expense. And while we’re on the topic of towing, don’t assume you can eliminate an overloaded vehicle by simply transferring gear to the trailer. All vehicles have various weight ratings and no matter where the heavy gear goes (whether in the vehicle or the trailer), the auto’s engine and transmission are still responsible for moving it. Check your vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) which will indicate the limits it’s built for in terms of total weight of the vehicle, its occupants and gear as well as the trailer. If you’re near the limit and are towing a boat or other motorized craft, and want to trim some pounds, don’t tow with a full load of fuel on the trailer. Yes it may cost a few more dollars to purchase fuel at your waterside destination, but that small amount pales in comparison with the bill for a cooked drive-train.
