Frontenac County to be split up under new riding proposals

By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — South Frontenac will be lumped in with Belleville and Napanee if new electoral districts proposed last week by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission are adopted.

As a result of a population increase to 12,851,821 (2011 Census) from 11,410,046 (2001 Census), Ontario will gain 15 electoral districts.

“Population shifts and increases, efforts to honour existing municipal boundaries whenever possible, and the establishment of 15 new electoral districts have

required substantial adjustment to the Ontario’s electoral map,” George Valin, chair of the threemember commission.

Apparently, honouring the municipal boundar-

within one riding.

“Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into elec-

The population of a district should remain within 25 per cent of the average once consideration is given to communities of interest or identity, and historical and geographic factors.

ies of Frontenac, Hastings and Lennox & Addington Counties weren’t possible; however, all of Lanark County is now

toral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible,” the commission said in a press release. “The popu-

lation of a district should remain within 25 per cent of the average once consideration is given to communities of interest or identity, and historical and geographic factors.

“A commission can depart from the 25 per cent guideline to deal with extraordinary circumstances.”

Under the proposal, the new Lanark-Frontenac-Hastings riding would encompass the northern halves of Hastings, Lennox & Addington and Frontenac Counties as well as all of Lanark.

The new BellevilleNapanee-Frontenac riding would encompass the lower parts of Hastings, Lennox & Addington and

Frontenac Counties excepting the Frontenac Islands (which remains with the City of Kingston in the Kingston and the Islands riding) and the Quinte West portion of Hastings.

There are public hearings scheduled for Nov. 7 in Kingston at the Radisson Hotel Kingston Harbourfront and in Belleville Nov. 8 and Nov. 9 at the Holiday Inn Express.

Anyone wishing to address the hearings must notify the commission

by Oct. 1 (www.federalredistribution.ca).

The new ridings are intended to be in effect for the next federal election and all subsequent provincial elections as well.

Resident has a few suggestions for County Official Plan

By Craig Bakay Reporters

EMC News — Frontenac County planner Joe Gallivan has been out and about of late soliciting feedback for an upcoming Official Plan for the County.

Northern resident Andrew MacDonald wasn’t terribly impressed with what he’s seen so far and has a few suggestions he calls an “ecohaven.”

“I spoke with Joe at the meeting (in Sharbot Lake) and since,” MacDonald said recently. “He’s a concerned individual who recognizes that business-as-usual can’t and won’t continue and that

the present course of the world is unsustainable (and) I heard loud and clear his concern for the future of his own kids.

“In no way is Joe, or the plan, ‘the enemy.’”

However, MacDonald would like to see a few things included in the new OP. “The plan is unbelievably devoid of idea,” he said. “We need to convince people that they can come to a place with a declining population like ours and build a sustainable life. “(But) I feel there is a sense of real change in the works and I’m trying to suggest we could build some options into the system for

people.”

MacDonald said the basis OP document assumes the future economy will be like the present, largely based on tourism and recreation which he contends are not sustainable because both are dependent on outside money that come from “the business-asusual world” that exists beyond our borders.

“A sustainable future for the Frontenacs would include building communities that can provide for life essentials either directly (because those essentials are grown or made here) or indirectly (goods purchased from outside with money that was generated here).”

sustainability fair (“low-tech, no tech, what-the-heck” as blogger Rob Bowyer put it; Identify and invite the segment of the population concerned about a sustainable future to look at and share what Frontenac County has to offer; Consider common security clubs in which members support each other in reaching practical sustainability goals such as getting more than half their food from local sources, solar hot water heaters, local labour exchanges; Introduce a welcome wag-

To that end, MacDonald envisions something he calls an “eco-haven,” which contains a “re-branding” component he believes would make Frontenac County a desirable location to live and set up shop in the contemporary climate.

He said he’d like to put more “here” and has seven suggestions for making that happen.

Make shared land use a simpler, more available option allowing people to live on and farm land together; Hold a local and low-tech

on idea with regular meetings in which newcomers can air and find solutions to their practical problems; Support the formation of a local eco-village; Turn local dumps into reuse centres along the lines of the one in McDonald’s Corners.

“To brand the Frontenacs or any part of it an eco-haven and to back it up is no small idea and there will be challenges, probably the greatest of which is our tendency to do things the way they’ve always been done,” he said.

Minor variances granted for new K-12 school in Sharbot Lake

By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — The Limestone District School Board was granted two minor variances for construction of a new K-12 in Sharbot Lake at a special meeting of Central Frontenac Township’s Committee of Adjustment last Thursday night.

At a subsequent Council meeting that followed, the Mayor and Clerk were given the authority to enter into a site plan agreement with the LDSB. The first minor variance lessens the setback requirement from a wetland area to 9.5 metres instead of the 30 metres set out in the Township Official Plan. The second reduces the number of required parking spaces to 100 from 121.

Planner Glenn Tunnock recommended the variances, saying that the wetland in question is not “provincially significant” and the LDSB has agreed to build a “turtle barrier” and “three sandbox turtle incubation sites between the wetland and the turtle barrier.”

Also, the LSDB agreed to create additional wetlands adjacent to the site to compensate for loss of habitat.

On reducing the number of required parking spaces, the LDSB successfully argued that the formula used to determine the number was really appropriate in this case.

Tunnock said he added the number of spots required under the zoning bylaw for a high school plus a public school plus a place of assembly to come up with 121.

Board representative David Fowler, Manager of Facility Services, said the school is not something that is used by external groups during the day and that 100 spots were 20 more than what are required for school purposes during the day.

Currently, there are 41 painted spaces in the high school parking lot.

Tunnock said that comments received from the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority indicated the MVCA had no objections to these but wanted the mitigat-

ing measures included in the site plan agreement as well as measures to ensure post-development (water) flows don’t exceed pre-development flows in terms of total suspended solids (turbid-

ity) and thermal mitigation.

Normally, the Township would require a letter of credit or other financial security that the Township may use in the event the LDSB de-

faults or fails to perform conditions set out in the site plan agreement. But Mayor Janet Gutowski said that “because the school board is a public entity, we will wave the monetary condition.”

In a press release received before Thursday night’s meeting, the LDSB said: “new school construction will be underway in Sharbot Lake by the time the new school year begins.

North Frontenac looking to use and preserve dark skies asset Reporter

wards preserving the Township asset.

EMC News — If God gives you lemons, you make lemonade.

One thing North Frontenac Township was given is dark skies.

In a time when municipal councils are scrambling to find new revenue sources, Frontenac County’s most northerly municipality is looking for ways to use one of its biggest, and least visible assets — namely dark skies.

Recently, Coun. Betty Hunter, who chairs the Township’s economic development committee; Mayor Bud Clayton and about 50 residents joined astronomers Guy Nason (past president of the Toronto centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada) and Ottawa’s Rob Dick, who chairs the Society’s light-pollution abatement committee, at the Plevna helipad on Road 506 for a glimpse of Saturn and other celestial bodies.

“We had Guy in to give a talk and here we are,” said Hunter.

As it turns out, the dark skies of North Frontenac are excellent for sky watching and astronomy.

Furthermore, Council was so impressed with the possibilities that they have given staff the goahead to write a dark skies bylaw, which should go a long way to-

“Let them come and we’ll build it,” said Clayton.

Nason bought a cottage on Lake Kashwakamak 15 years ago

precisely for the dark night skies (“and some paddling”), he said.

He was only too happy to get involved in the dark skies concept as he has his own observatory on the lake.

He said he had drawn an arc a “three-hour drive from Toronto” and looked for the darkest skies within the area.

“We call it the Bortle Scale from 1-10 for night sky darkness,” he said. “Zero would be in the middle of the Sahara Desert and nine would be downtown Manhattan.

“We’re about a two here and it gets to one north of Bon Echo. “(But) south of Hwy 7, it’s all threes and fours.”

Dick, who has been advising Parks Canada on making its parks sky watch-friendly, said that there are 13 dark sky preserves in Canada. He said they suggest measures such as white letters on a black background and LED lighting where possible and he’s started a company to manufacture municipal style lights for things like parking lots for what he predicts will be a “global movement.”

Hunter and Clayton will be happy if their efforts simply bring a few more tourist dollars into Township coffers and judging from the oohs and ahhs from the crowd assembled for the inaugural sky watch event, they might just do that.

Grand Theatre presents its most popular season to date ries we have a number of brand new series that we’re introducing, or some that we’re bringing back,” said Jayson Duggan, artistic administrator.

“The ones that have come back by popular demand are the comedy series and also the rock series. Brand new this year is a country series.”

Duggan said that when staff set out to create this year’s Grand Theatre line-

By Kristen Coughlar

kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – Single tickets are now on sale now for what promises to be the most popular Grand Theatre season.

Eleven different series comprised of forty-six unique performances will take to the Grand Theatre stage from September to June.

“Within the 11 se-

up they relied on public feedback detailing what theatre patrons appreciated about the series presented and what options they might want to see in the future.

Another aim was to include more Canadian content in the program, Duggan said.

“We sat back and evaluated last year’s program and we found that there is a lot of astonishingly good Canadian talent in all of the different genres that we present. We thought why are we spending time looking to Europe and America for some of that talent when the truth is we really can be supporting a lot of our own Canadian artists.”

A prime example of this season’s focus on Canadian content can be seen in the contemporary dance series. Included in the series are Aszure Barton & Artists, Ballet BC, Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie and José Navas/ Compagnie Flak. Duggan explained that these are all very well-known and renowned Canadian dance companies.

The 2012/2013 Grand Theatre season will officially get underway Sept.

27 with Titanic: The Musical.

Duggan said he believes highlights of this year’s program will include the Broadway production of Rock of Ages, Randy Bachman and his

show Every Song Tells a Story as well as Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet and its production of Sleeping Beauty.

Within the 11 series and 46 performances there is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy.

“One thing that we wanted to accomplish this year was just to diversify our program a little bit more so that we were hitting as many different people and members of the community,” Duggan said.

The Grand Theatre team seems to have accomplished that goal.

“I believe our statistic was around 49 per cent of those subscribing to the Grand season this year so far have been brand new,

which is really amazing, and that’s telling us that clearly our program has hit with a lot of members of the community that may not have been season buyers before,” Duggan said. “I think this year will probably be a record setting year for new members of the community coming into the Grand to experience a show.”

A full list of this year’s Grand Theatre Season performances can be found online at www.kingstongrand.ca. Single tickets and Grand Theatre subscriptions can be purchased online, in person from 12-6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, at 218 Princess St., or by phone at 613-530-2050.

‘Minor’ variance could have long-term repercussions Craig Comment

By Craig Bakay editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Editorial — Those who are still in the ‘oooo, shiny’ stage of getting a new school in Sharbot Lake (i.e. most of the Central Frontenac Council members) might want to ask themselves what they’ve done here by granting a minor variance that reduces the setback from a wetland to 9.5 metres instead of the previously required 30 metres. The Limestone District School Board also received a minor variance for the number of parking spots required but that one isn’t near as worrisome.

The problem with reducing the setback is that it sets a

precedent — a you-did-it-forthem-so-you-can-do-it-for-us thing. And there will be plenty of developers only too willing to use that argument, not to mention private property owners and businesses who will see this as a carte blanche not to worry about wetlands.

Granted, the LDSB did agree to some ‘mitigating’ features, creating the new term “turtle barrier” just for this project, but whether or not that works is still a bit of a question mark.

Essentially, the test for a ‘minor’ variance is four questions: • Is the application minor?

• Is the application desirable for the appropriate development of the lands in question?

• Does the application conform to the general intent of the Zoning Bylaw?

• Does the application conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?

It’s somewhat hard to believe the setback variance is

so ‘minor’ when the Township called a special session of its Committee of Adjustment and Council just to pass this. It may not be major but it isn’t minor either.

Council had an opportunity to make a strong statement on its supposed stewardship of the environment on this one but opted for expediency rather than look ahead to potential ramifications.

Architect Ray Zaback said they became aware of the potential conflict with their building design “about six months ago” (which was a good six months after the initial design was unveiled suggesting checking environmental laws before making drawings wasn’t standard procedure) when discussing the project with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. Zaback said it was the MVCA that suggested it could be handled by applying for a minor variance.

That’s often the way things are done, he said, adding that while we may think

In Our Opinion

Pit Bull Ban

there’s plenty of land in rural locations, rural locations usually bring their own set of conditions that have to be dealt with, like wetlands.

At the very least, this sort of standard procedure needs to be addressed if the Township is truly committed to environmental protection.

It’s a very half-hearted commitment if a setback can be reduced by more than twothirds with a short meeting and a quick vote.

(Let’s hope they don’t find a gray ratsnake hibernaculum when they start digging.)

However, the big test of environmental committee may be yet to come.

The new school is going to house more students, teachers and support staff and dollars to donuts, that septic system on the hill will need expanding, if not total replacement.

And to top it off, they’ll have to deal with being within 300 metres of the West Basin of Sharbot Lake, a provincially mandated trout sensitive body of water.

The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, September 6, 2012

EMC Editorial – Families in British Columbia are calling for a ban on Pit Bulls in the province.

The call has been spurred by two separate incidents in which four year olds were attacked by the breed. The first incident saw a four-year-old girl attacked by a two-year-old Pit Bull at a family barbecue. The girl had to undergo a two-hour surgery and received 40 stitches across her jaw as a result of the attack.

Days later a three-year-old boy suffered a similar attack. The boy received 32 stitches after he was attacked reaching down to pet at Pit Bull.

Since 2005, the province of Ontario has had a ban on Pit Bulls. Under the Dog Owners’ Liability Act a Pit Bull if defined as: a Pitt Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, or a dog that has an appearance and physical characteristics similar to any of these dogs.

The Act prohibits individuals from owning, breeding, transferring, importing or abandoning Pit Bulls in Ontario. Training a pit bull to fight or allowing a pit bull to stray is also prohibited.

Those who owned Pit Bulls prior to the 2005 ban were permitted to keep their dogs provided they had proof the dog was in Ontario prior to Aug. 29, 2005 or born within 90 days after that date and provided they comply with regulations under the Act. Earlier this year, the Ontario ban came under fire when a private member’s bill was introduced requesting the ban be lifted.

We here at the EMC believe that all breeds of dog have the potential to be aggressive and bite, not just Pit Bulls. To place a ban on a specific breed is simply unfair.

Do certain breeds have the potential to be more aggressive than others? Perhaps. However, we believe that in the right hands all dogs have the potential to be well-balanced.

We believe it is the responsibility of all pet owners to research the breed of dog they are looking to add to their family. Not all dogs are created equal and it is simply negligent to choose a family pet based on the cute-factor without educating yourself on the breed.

In a news article last week, a parent of the four-year-old B.C. girl who was attacked said the owner of the pit bull was a “good person, not evil” and that the breed is the problem.

It’s simply not enough for a pet owner to be a good person; they have a duty to be an educated and responsible pet owner.

McKenna doesn’t stop dreaming Kjackson@theemc.ca

EMC News - McKenna Modler’s cancer fundraiser didn’t stop with the nearly $100,000 she raised and donated to the local children’s cancer centre this summer.

No, her grassroots initiative could go national if she wins the CFL Scotiabank Game Changers contest that comes with a grand prize of $100,000.

And she’s close to that goal too, as Modler, 12, was recently named a regional winner in the contest.

She won $1,000 and four tickets to a CFL game, as well being able to stand on the sidelines during the warm-up and national anthem of a Toronto Argonaults and Hamitlon Tiger Cats game Sept. 8.

She’ll also receive a team jersey and football.

If Modler captures the contest’s grand prize she can give it to the charity of her choice, which is the Children’s Cancer Fund at Kingston General Hospital.

This contest is based both on an application and by public voting. Daily voting is currently underway between now and Oct. 14.

The finals take place Oct.

29 to Nov. 20.

Modler was diagnosed with a brain tumour on Nov. 5, 2010 and since then has undergone 70 chemotherapy treatments.

She told EMC back in July that she started the fundraiser to give back to the people who helped her and the friends she made along the way.

Modler started a Facebook page called McKenna’s Dream where she keeps people updated on her progress and fundraisers.

“Everywhere I go now, people know who I am,” she said Aug. 4. “It is really cool. Dad says I did an amazing thing that most people never do in their whole life. He says that is a rare thing. He said that I have done more good in my short life than he has done in his whole life.”

It really has caught on.

She receives dozens of comments and likes for most of her posts.

“You are amazing McKenna and your Dad is so very proud of you. Plus, you helped to bring a whole group of people together which is such a good thing,” wrote one woman.

Another said: “You’re an inspiration little one!!!

Keep up the amazing kind

heart you have!”

One of Modler’s most recent donations came from Lansdowne Lodge who gave $300. Her great grandfather was a member for nearly 40 years.

As for the CFL contest, votes for Modler can be cast at scotiabankgamechangers.com.

The Children’s Cancer Fund helps children from across southeastern Ontario receive cancer care in Kingston. It’s one of only five cancer centres in Ontario that provide treatment for children and youth.

The fund helps cover the costs of medications not covered by OHIP, supports travel for those from across southeastern Ontario who have to come to Kingston or Toronto for treatment, and also supports tutoring to help kids catch up who have missed school due to their treatment schedules.

McKenna Modler beams as she shows off just a tiny sample of the generous monetary donations made at the McKenna’s Dream event held at the Lansdowne Fairgrounds on July 29. To date, she has raised $96,194.91 for the Children’s Cancer Fund.

Exploring the early folk music scene

EMC Lifestyle – Some people, myself included, dream of having a time machine to go back to significant moments in history. One of those periods is the early folk movement in New York City. Gene Donefer doesn’t have to fantasize. He lived it.

“Woody never left my head,” Donefer told me during our first meeting. He’d contacted me with an idea after reading my story about Woody Guthrie and Arlo Guthrie a few weeks ago.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Donefer, a retired McGill University animal science professor, would like to have a celebration sometime in the autumn to honour Woody Guthrie, and maybe an ongoing regular gathering to play and listen to folk music and share stories. This year is the centennial of Guthrie’s birth. Celebrations and commemorations are being held around the world.

Donefer’s family came to North America from eastern Europe in the mid-1920s.

“They were lucky to get out,” said Donefer. “They never found out what happened to the rest of the family.”

It isn’t difficult to guess, although it’s painful to think about. His mother’s Jewish family lived north of Auschwitz.

Donefer’s parents moved to Brooklyn, where Gene Donefer was born.

“Everybody was an immigrant in Brooklyn,” he said. “If you weren’t Jewish, you were Catholic.”

How did a New York City kid end up in the agriculture and animal science field?

Soon to turn 80, in his childhood, Donefer attended the leftist-oriented Camp Wo-ChiCa. The name stood for Workers’ Children’s Camp. It was Donefer’s first experience with rural life.

Photo/Mark Bergin Retired McGill University professor Gene Donefer lives in Kingston and has a keen interest in the early folk music movement, especially the work of Woody Guthrie.

tist and folk music enthusiast, Donefer finds Woody Guthrie’s work fascinating. Before moving to New York City, Guthrie spent his childhood in Oklahoma and Texas during the Dust Bowl years. Donefer thinks history may be repeating itself..

“Dust storms are hitting Arizona now,” he said. “It’s like the Dust Bowl again. The water table’s almost gone. It’s very nonsustainable.”

This is not idle speculation.

Donefer taught courses on global food security. He was a nutritionist involved with agriculture on a world basis.

Gene has enough stories to keep me going for years. He told me about a Woody Guthrie hootenanny. During intermission, Pete Seeger and Woody Guth-

rie sneaked into a doorway and passed a bottle of gin around.

Donefer was there and asked Woody Guthrie to sign the bottle. He did. Gene’s mother found the old bottle and, thinking it was worthless, threw it out.

“Pete (Seeger) operated People’s Songs,” said Donefer. “He had a little place, and on Saturday mornings he had open house.

Woody would be in there with a cigarette hanging off his lip. It’s strange to have been there. We didn’t know what was going to happen and that Woody would be a legend. But something happened there that left permanent memories for me. The humanity of Woody’s music put him in a league with Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon.”

Donefer knows his musical

history. He’s got wide interests.

During one of our meetings , he played a CD by famed American composer Aaron Copeland and pointed out how Woody Guthrie and American folk music influenced even Copeland.

Donefer is hoping to find like-minded folk of any age.

“If we could get 8, 10 or 12 people who’d like to get together once in a while, that would work,” said Donefer. “They can bring instruments, if they play, or bring records and CDs or tell stories.”

If you’re interested in American folk music, especially its early formation, you can contact me at markbergin@mail.com and I’ll put you in touch with Gene. Or, you can email him directly at gdonefer@cogeco.ca.

Science Degree in animal nutrition. He was offered a job with a feed company. He turned it down.

“That was probably the first argument I had with Vera. She said,’It’s a job. Take the job.’ But I didn’t.”

In 1957, as he finished his master’s degree at Cornell, he received an offer from the Department of Nutrition at McGill Univeristy in Montreal.

It enabled him to complete his PhD while working as a senior technician and demonstrator. In 1960, four departments merged into the Department of Animal Science. When Donefer finished his PhD, McGill hired him to teach. His research in ruminant nutrition took him to St. Kit’s, Barbados, and Trinidad, with Canadian International Development Agency-sponsored programs. ”I was back and forth to Montreal,” he said. “The biggest job was liaising between two universities and two governments. Working with one government is bad enough.”

During his research and university career, Donefer traveled the world. He made 14 trips to China and frequented Europe for academic and scientific programs and conferences. In 1994, he retired and moved with Vera to Kingston.

“We looked around and Kingston was very nice,” he said. “We had to leave Montreal.

House values were plummeting.

Houses stayed on the market for a year or two. There was no future.

We didn’t know what we’d do if Quebec separated. The political situation was not great, and I’m not bilingual. We knew we didn’t want to live in Toronto. People who grow up in Kingston don’t realize all that’s here. I couldn’t live anywhere else in Canada.

It’s the ideal place. It’s got everything you want, and you can easily get to other places.”

Books about folk music and art line the walls of his home.

He’s done research on the Dust Bowl. As an agricultural scien-

His interest in folk music developed there. He heard and sang Woody Guthrie songs.

“We sang all of those songs,” he said. “It was a left wing thing, the music of the left. Then Woody came along and was part of it.”

Donefer attended an accelerated science program at Stuyvesant High School.

“I had teachers who had PhDs,” he said. “I didn’t even know what a PhD was. We attended class in the morning, and I worked in the NY Public Library in the afternoon.”

He read all he could about agriculture.

He took a job as a camp counselor in a progressive (leftoriented) camp in Vermont. At the age of 15, Donefer found himself in a rural Vermont setting in a farm built in 1780s.

“I fed a calf,” he said. “I cut trees, hauled logs. That Vermont thing really struck me: This is a beautiful place. The whole countryside was beautiful.”

He met his future wife, Vera, during his high school years.

She wanted nothing to do with a farm life. Donefer also spent time picketing and involving himself in political action projects.

He found another farm job, working with the Children’s Aid Society in a rural home north of New York. He worked on the farm, learned about milking cows and living a rural life.

For his post-secondary studies, he attended an accelerated agriculture studies program at Farmingdale College on Long Island. He discovered PhD researchers and became fascinated with agricultural science. He was accepted into the Faculty of Agriculture at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. While at Cornell, he and Vera married.

One summer placement involved working on a dairy farm.

“I found out I would never have a dairy farm,” he said. He stopped his story and laughed.

“Vera would not live on a dairy farm, I didn’t want to work every day of the year, I didn’t have a father who would leave me a farm, and I didn’t have half a million dollars to buy one.”

He did achieve his Master of

He still owns the car he drove in high school EMC Lifestyle - Do you remember the car you drove in high school? If we publish your story, you will receive an autographed copy of my latest book, “KEEP UP IF YOU CAN: Confessions of a high school teacher.”

Steve Fox of Barrie, Ontario, still owns the car

he drove in high school: “In the summer of 1980, I was 13 and dad thought we should look for a car for me. Something we could work on together. I wanted a Mustang or Camaro. We went all over Ontario, visiting used car lots and checking the classifieds (no internet then).

“In 1981, dad saw a white convertible on Bayfield Street here in Barrie.

We pulled into the driveway and saw a car that seemed to go on forever: a 1969 Buick Electra 225 convertible. It wasn’t what I had hoped for but dad said: ‘Let’s go for a test drive.’ With dad driving and me riding shotgun, top down, mild night, people looking at us, air rushing by, the sound of the big 430, I started to like this car. Dad said: ‘How much money have you saved?’ I said $500 from working at the family bakery. He said

that’s a good down payment and I could have it paid off by the time I get my licence!

“Before I turned 16, dad would take me to the Georgian Mall early Sunday mornings to practise parking, backing up, and as dad would say, ‘getting my sea legs.’ I turned 16, got my licence, made my final payment to dad, and had to have money in the bank for insurance, gas, and repairs.

The Buick was now mine!

“High school friends made fun of my ‘boat,’ sometimes calling it

‘Grandpa’s grocery getter.’

But we had great times with that car, driving to Wasaga Beach, the drive-in theatre, and parties in Muskoka. It never let me down except when I ran out of gas.

“Now nearly 30 years later, I still have my first car. Those same people that made fun of it now reminisce about the good times we had when driving it in high school. Dad always enjoyed the car and I would often come home to find his car in the driveway and the big Buick gone with him for a drive.

“We lost dad in March 2009 but every time I fire up the big old Buick, he’s right there with me, enjoying the drive.”

Stand Up To Cancer makes way down Canal sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News - Cancer has impacted the life of Scott MacKinnon one too many times, so the eastern Ontario resident has decided to Stand Up to Cancer and be the first person to stand up while paddling the 202 km waterway in support of Camp Trillium.

“Lately it just seems to be we can’t get away from it,” MacKinnon said of the disease.

The Belleville-area resident recently lost one aunt to cancer only to have another fearful blow to the family come to light during this very difficult time.

“Another aunt was just diagnosed about three months ago,” MacKinnon said.

It was at this moment that MacKinnon knew he wanted to do something to fight cancer and decided to use his enjoyment of paddle boarding, which he picked up during a four-year stint in Australia, to draw attention to the need for continued research on the disease.

“I do like to challenge myself and this, I guess, is the next challenge,” MacKinnon said.

No one has ever stand up paddled down the Rideau Canal, making MacKinnon’s attempt all the more exciting if he is successful.

In order to undertake this challenge he started daily training exercises. He staggered the distance he paddled each day up to 20 km in preparation for taking on the Rideau Canal Sept. 1.

The seven-to-10 day journey began at the Kingston Mills Lockstation at 10 a.m. He will go through the locks until he reaches Ottawa on the other end. MacKinnon is blogging about his experiences on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ putapaddle2cancer.

He welcomes boaters, sea-doo riders, and others to come out and support him on his journey.

“I’m really hoping I have some people to join along the way,” he said.

MacKinnon knew he wanted to tackle the Rideau Canal for something that would lessen the pain of living with cancer on families. He was impressed with Camp Trillium’s grass roots organization and their focus on ensuring donations go to support the kids.

“Almost every dollar donated will have a direct

Scott MacKinnon decided to Stand Up to Cancer and be the first person to stand up while paddling the 202 km waterway in support of Camp Trillium impact on these children’s lives,” MacKinnon said.

Secure online donations are being accepted at: http://www.raiseathon.ca/ standuptocancer/ with any donation of $20 and over

eligible for a charitable receipt.

As of deadline this week, MacKinnon had raised $1,120 towards his $25,000 goal.

Camp Trillium operates

a camp about half-an-hour from MacKinnon’s house where they provide recreational experiences to children with cancer and their families every summer.

Established in 1984, Camp

Trillium has seen incredible growth that has allowed them to provide a normal family memory amongst the challenges of cancer treatment to more and more Ontario families.

Aging Expedition could benefit from diagnostic scan Car Counsellor Brian turner

(check engine light does not flash). The codes I get are: P0174- bank 2 too lean P1451- evap system vent control circuit P0133- bank 1 sensor 1 slow response P0153bank 2 sensor 1 slow response P0155bank 2 sensor 1 heater circuit P1151- sensor indicates lean P1152- sensor indicates rich. The vehicle is a keeper and we have done all the scheduled maintenance to the book and beyond. Our guys at the garage are a decent sort and don’t seem to want to start a ‘snark hunt’. Do you have any suggestions on how to pull some of these weeds out of the garden?”

Holger At over 365,000 km and 15 years of age, more than a few sensors and circuits on this Ford

be due to an intake leak, which isn’t uncommon on this engine considering its age and mileage and the evaporative vent codes could either be a malfunctioning control valve, or porous vacuum lines or poor wiring.

Knowing that solving all these problems might involve parts and labour costs approaching $1,000 or more, I’d suggest having a complete inspection done on the vehicle to assess what else might be sprouting up in terms of future repairs to gain a more complete picture of the financial feasibility of keeping this ‘keeper’ in the family. Mechanical systems aside, the biggest risk to your pocket book with this vehicle will be due to corrosion. If it isn’t sheet metal or undercarriage frame members it will be body and engine wiring that will succumb to the ravages of our addiction to road salt.

“Hi Brian, We had a customer come in this morning with a problem we haven’t seen before.

He sprayed a commer-

cial tire cleaner on his tires before going into a car wash, and of course, overspray got onto his wheel rims. The bottle said it should be rinsed off after one minute, but he estimated it was five minutes before he went into the car wash. The result was that the clear coat on all his wheels was etched.

We don’t recommend commercial wheel cleaners and advise customers that if they do use them, to follow the instructions to the letter. It appears we need to extend the same warning to tire cleaners.

This damage can be repaired of course, but the retail cost would be from $100-150 per wheel.”

EMC Lifestyle - “Hi Brian, My basic question is whether oxygen sensors have a finite lifespan?

My specifics: 1998 Expedition with a 5.4 L V8, bought new, 365,000 km, check engine light on and a bunch of codes. It seems like whenever we clear them they sprout new ones like weeds. To resolve a previous intermittent misfire/stall when put into reverse problem the shop tried additive and I subsequently took off the intake manifold and cleaned what I could, replaced the Idle air control valve as well as replacing the fuel injectors. Replacing the injectors resulted in marked improvement of mileage. We notice an intermittent stumble at idle or constant low rpm which can be cleared by kicking down the transmission

may have exceeded their lifespan. First, oxygen sensors don’t last forever and most are retired due to carbon and soot build up on their tips as they are constantly exposed to the exhaust stream from the engine. Your Expedition has four of them (costing around $90 each) and judging from the diagnostic trouble codes you’re getting, they are definitely suspect. But, and this is a big but, before I’d recommend changing any more sensors or components on this vehicle, I’d have a diagnostic scan done with test equipment that can actually display the sensor’s activities rather than just a trouble code. These types of scanners are quite common and can save a lot of time and money when it comes to check engine light repairs.

If the oxygen sensors are due for replacement and are not attended to, the chances are very good that the catalytic convertor(s) will be damaged due to excessive fueling, not to mention being unable to pass an emission test to renew the license tags. The lean running codes might

Children preferred Father’s style of punishment Mary Cook’s Memories

By Mary Cook

EMC Lifestyle - We much preferred Father over Mother when it came to mete out discipline. Father was so soft hearted, he could never come to give us a swat even if we deserved it.

Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans, and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to dole it out too. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with.

You look after it Albert.”

This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we five kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap, and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy, and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost mortally wounded from the blows that never came!

My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat.

Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days. Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious fight of all time.

It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson’s hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent bystander, square on the backside.

It didn’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand, I nonetheless started to roar as if I had been hit with a two by four!

It didn’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about. She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement.

Audrey was standing on the pump stand, screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass, and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken!

Father, if he heard the ruckus was ignoring it.

Mother found him in the cow byre and she insisted he take us all into the drive shed and “deal with the whole lot of them,” she said.

Father took his pipe out of his mouth, and pointed it towards the open doors, not saying a word. He put a stern look on his face, and followed us all through the double doors. The heat of the day was on our side.

Father had been up since dawn, and even though it was early in the day, he looked wilted and tired out. He didn’t look like he was in any mood to dole out punishment. He asked Audrey what happened to her hair, he told Everett when the discipline was over he was to fill the watering trough, Emerson was to sort the newly bought nails into the tin cans on the shelf, Earl was to feed the chickens, and with a big wink in my direction, he said, “And you young lady have to come to Briscoe’s General Store with me.” But he wasn’t finished with me yet, “You’ll have to eat the humbugs Mr. Briscoe gives you every time you go in the store.” Father knew I hated humbugs with a passion.

“Or you can bring them home and give them to Queenie… that old horse sure loves humbugs.” He then gave me another big

wink.

Just before he let us out of the drive shed, he gave the work table another couple good whacks with the old leather strap, Emerson let out a few roars as if he had come in direct contact with it, Earl developed the usual sniffles, and Audrey, who we all knew was too old to strap, said, “Yes I know not to get involved the next time with any fights.”

Father told me to go and wait for him beside the buggy. He walked, filling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door.

“Have to run over to Briscoe’s,” he said through the screen. “Mary’s coming with me. And they’ve all been dealt with,” he added over his shoulder.

Mother seemed satisfied. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she, “Could always depend on Albert to discipline the children. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to handle all five of them.”

And for that, we five kids were mighty grateful!

Local go-kart racer enjoys successful first season

By Kristen Coughlar

kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC Sports – Prior to May of this year, most of Dylan Chenier’s racing training had been done behind the wheel of a virtual simulator.

In April, the EMC introduced readers to Dylan. He and his father had just recently formed their own go-kart team and were preparing to hit the asphalt for the first time at the Lombardy Raceway Park in Smiths Falls.

“It was kind of intimidating at first. You don’t really realize how fast it will seem to you when you first start. I was kind of slow actually when I first started; I kept getting lapped by other competitors because they had been doing it a few years ahead of me and obviously had experience,” Dylan said of his first race, which took place May 6.

In that first race Dylan earned himself a fifth place finish, beating out the other rookie in his class, while his father came in fourth.

Since that first race on the track Dylan said his skills have steadily improved.

“It’s a lot harder on your upper body than you think. Your hands are pretty sore after using the wheel for about 30 minutes a race. I didn’t expect it would be

that hard on your upper body,” he said, noting that he has be dedicating more time to working out.

With each race, Dylan said he also becomes more comfortable with the track, closing the gap between himself and his competitors, many of which have been competing in the sport for a few years.

“They know the track and have been racing there for a few years. I’m new at it and don’t know everything; there are corners that I would normally brake at which they don’t. Slowly I’ve stopped braking at those corners.”

Dylan noted that keeping an eye on his competition during practices has helped him improve.

In the last two races Dylan said he has not been lapped by his competitors, proof that he is steadily improving as the season progresses.

The end of the season is fast approaching. Dylan’s last race will take place Sunday, Sept.

30, followed by a skills event on Sunday, Oct. 7.

As of race No. 8, Dylan was sitting in sixth place in the standings, ahead of two other competitors in his division, while his father is currently sitting in fifth place in his division.

“He’s actually finished on

It’s been a bit hard, but I’m very proud of him too,” Dylan said of his father’s success.

He said he had hoped he would be doing a little better in the season, but he’s still happy with his progress. He hopes to

finish in fifth place at the end of the season.

“I definitely want to be the top rookie.”

Dylan said the overall experience of creating a go-kart team with his father has been great for their relationship.

“I sometimes feel sorry for my brother because he doesn’t get to experience what my dad and I experience at these races.

It’s definitely good for our relationship.”

As a result, a third member may soon be joining Team

Chenier, in the form of Dylan’s eight-year-old brother.

“He’s definitely interested in starting to race. There’s a novice class and the competitors are about his age, so we’re looking into getting him racing next year,” he said.

Future of Ontario’s horse-racing industry on rocky ground

By LORRAINE PAYETTE

“They come up and buy our horses,” he said. “In order to win things like the Ontario Sires Stakes, they have to have horses bred in Ontario. And they’re going there, they’re following the rules, and we all benefit. We go south, they come north, a lot of money goes both ways.”

The biggest fear is the loss of jobs which can come from the removal of the slots.

More than 1,100 jobs are threatened at Ontario stables, and upwards on 60,000 jobs province-wide in all aspects of the racing industry.

Beginning of the end “Today we heard from Mark Steacy that the decision by the McGuinty government to end the successful slots-at-racetracks agreement has marked the beginning of

the end for Ontario ’s horseracing industry and with it over 60,000 jobs directly and indirectly,” said MPP Monte McNaughton, Ontario PC Economic Development and Innovation Critic. “Previously, under the slots-atracetracks program, Ontario’s horse racing industry thrived and has moved to the front of the pack. This success has resulted in over $1.1 billion in slots revenues being returned to the province last year alone.

The Liberals are killing a vibrant industry and are putting 60,000 men and women across Ontario out of work.”

“This unilateral decision by the McGuinty government is devastating to the Steacys and the hundreds of jobs their operation supports directly and indirectly,” said Clark.

See Horse page 26

More than 1,100 jobs like this may disappear in Ontario if the provincial government succeeds in ending the successful slots-at-racetracks agreement.

R0011580151

EMC News - The Steacy Stables in Lansdowne provided a fitting backdrop last week as Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark and Ontario PC Economic Development and Innovation Critic MPP Monte McNaughton addressed the McGuinty government’s decision to end the successful slots-at-racetracks agreement.

Mark Steacy, owner of the establishment, is not pleased with the decision, and was more than ready to share his thoughts with the public.

“The slots wouldn’t have been put in in the first place if it wasn’t for the agreement we came to in about 1998 (concerning slots at the racetracks),” said Steacy. “We made some mistakes in the racing world. In the contract back then we should have said

that track owners should do more, they should put more back in, they should have renovated their facilities more and created much more advertising than we did.”

When asked about money going to American drivers and leaving Canada, he said it isn’t necessarily true. Although prize money does go to Americans who win, it has to be remembered that Canadians can also go south to race and bring back American purses.

Foreign drivers and owners are not really much different from tourists – they use hotels and restaurants, shop in local stores, attend theatre and other local events. He strongly believes that they bring much more money into the area than they take away, and that they spread the wealth along to everyone in the community through use of services.

NEWS HORSE From page 25

“Had McGuinty bothered to talk to rural Ontario about this issue, he’d know how many jobs are at stake. Instead, this is another example of this arrogant and out-of-touch government simply turning its back on rural Ontarians.”

Documents released recently by the Ontario PCs revealed that the government had made up its mind to put the horse-racing industry on the chopping block before it had even received an economic analysis. The MPPs also referred several times to a report handed to the Liberals by the Horse Racing Industry Transitional Panel concerning the issue, but which has been kept hidden and secret without the other parties being allowed to see it or know what’s in it. They want to know what is in the report, is it really so damning that an entire industry needs to be threatened?

“The transitional panel’s interim report regarding the future of horse racing in Ontario was pre-

EMC - Your Community Newspaper sented to the Minister of Agriculture last Friday,” said McNaughton.

“To date, we have heard nothing about the report or its contents. Thousands of jobs are at risk. The report must be made available to the public immediately.

As they hear from their constituents who will lose their livelihoods, the MPPs stressed that even the Liberal government’s own members are starting to break ranks on ending the slots-at-racetracks agreement as they hear from their many constituents who will lose their livelihoods should this occur.

Jeff Leal, the Liberal MPP for Peterborough, has proposed that the province “keep slot facilities at eight to 10 horseracing tracks … or allow gambling facilities to relocate but still give the tracks a share of the slot machine revenue as a way of maintaining the horse racing industry.”

“There is growing dissension in the Liberal caucus on this issue,” said McNaughton. “Seven Liberal MPPs have publicly opposed the McGuinty government’s decision to end the slots-at-racetracks

agreement. Leal’s recommendations are a public acknowledgement of how damaging this decision will be to the horseracing industry and Ontario ’s economy.”

“Monte has been our caucus lead on this issue and has toured racetracks and stables across Ontario to hear directly from the 60,000 people the horse racing industry employs directly and indirectly,” said Clark. “I’d estimate more than 1,000 of those people work here in LeedsGrenville because of operations like those run by the Steacy family here in Lansdowne.

“I held a pre-budget consultation in Gananoque just a day or two after the government first indicated it was ending the slots-atracetracks agreement. And Mark was there, probably one of the first horsemen in the province to start sounding the alarm bells about how devastating this decision would be to rural Ontario. He followed up his presentation that day with a letter that detailed how this one operation and its 12 employees generate upwards of $1 million in economic activity every year. In a province where 600,000 people are looking for work, it’s unconscionable that the McGuinty government would unilaterally drive a stake into such a successful part of he rural economy.”

Galalujah! The Sound of Music is coming Mark Bergin columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle – The Sound of Music is coming to Kingston in December. It will be the ideal musical for the season.

It’s going to be performed in a perfect setting, St. Andrew’s a Presbyterian Church on Clergy Street.

On Saturday, September 15, Bottle Tree Productions, in conjunction with St. Andrew’s Music Fund, is hosting “Galalugah!” It’s a fundraiser for St. Andrew’s and Bottle Tree’s upcoming production of The Sound of Music. You’ll get to meet some of the cast and enjoy a fun evening.

“It’s great for us to be at St. Andrew’s,” said Anne Marie Mortensen, producer of the show and artist educator for Bottle Tree Productions.

“Galalujah! funds will be split between the church and Bottle Tree.”

Galalujah! will feature Broadway-style entertainment with Danny Young and Tim Torgerson of Kings Town Tenors, cast members from The Sound of Music, The Frontenac Women’s Chorus, The Kingston Strings, and Ian Bevell.

Greek-Canadian soprano

Andromahi (Mahi) Raptis will also perform. This summer, Raptis attended the world renowned Franz-Schubert-Institut in Vienna, Austria for an intensive five weeks devoted to German Lieder. An Opera Undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, her choral experience began with the Cantabile Choirs of Kingston in 2001. She has appeared on stage at Roy Thompson Hall with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Her Gilbert and Sullivan credits include the Plaintiff in Trial by Jury in 2010 with Victoria College Chorus and Mabel in the Pirates of Penzance in 2007 with Bottle Tree Productions.

On the yummy side, the evening features haute cuisine finger food by Jack the Happy Chef (of Clark’s on King and Clark’s by the Bay, and chef instructor at Liason College).

All this takes place while supporting local theatre.

It’s hard to imagine, but The Sound of Music was first envisioned as a play, not a musical. That would be like producing Phantom of the Opera without, well, without the opera. In addition to the title song, consider some of the Rodgers and Hammerstein stunners that came out of the Sound of Music: My Favorite Things, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, Edelweiss, Do-Re-Mi, and The Lonely Goatherd, to name a few.

The Sound of Music is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers.

Galalujah!, a fund raiser for Bottle Tree Productions’ Sound of Music and St. Andrew’s Music Fund, will feature Broadway-tyle entertainment, a silent auction, and food provided by Jack the Happy Chef.

died.

Critics were mixed in there reviews. Some considered it too sweet. They must have missed the Nazi parts. However, audiences loved the show.

Next came the blockbuster movie, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. It won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

The people of Kingston are fortunate to have an opportunity to see this magical show in December. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church offers certain benefits not normally available to the musical. For example, in the script, the opening scene features church bells tolling.

The church has agreed to allow their clocktower bells to be used.

turns his back on his military career and the family is going into the unknown at the end of the play. The fact that the nuns are supporting them and getting involved politically is very inspirational.”

Robertson noted that he’s impressed by the quality of the script for The Sound of Music.

“Everything serves a purpose and moves the story forward,” he said. “It’s so wellconstructed to be able to appear light on the outside. The songs and the script are great. I like doing new edgy productions, but I also like the classics. In Sound of Music you have them dealing with the German takeover and all the sad parts. With that shadow material, it makes the light seem lighter.”

To emphasize some of the painful undertones of the story, keep your eyes on how the lighting and costumes grow darker by the end of the musical.

As a joint fundraiser, with profits split between St. Andrew’s Church and The Sound of Music, Galalujah! promises to be a great start to the autumn theatre season in Kingston.

You’ll be helping support theatre and St. Andrew’s Church as well as having a grand evening.

“There will be different kinds of entertainment,” said Mortensen. “There are some really good silent auction

items. It will be lots of fun.

And when you support something like this, you support young people in the arts and you support community theatre. We have all ages in the cast of about 50. They come from so many backgrounds.

You know you’re in community theatre when a police officer in uniform shows up for a rehearsal as her role as a nun.”

You’ll be able to mix and mingle over mocktails and get a head start on Christmas shopping during a silent auction. Some of the items will be quite a surprise. At 7 p.m., you can enjoy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar (non-alcohol).

At 8 p.m., the musical gala highlights styles ranging from Bach to Broadway. Sounds like a great deal.

While you’re purchasing your Galalujah tickets, it would be a good time to beat the crowd and get your Sound of Music tickets.

Galalujah! Tickets are available through Bottle Tree Productions (613-384-8433), Sound of Music cast members, event performers, Ian Bevell or the Grand Theatre Box Office (613-530-2040).

Tickets for The Sound of Music are available through Bottle Tree Productions or the Grand Theatre Box Office.

In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, Terry Fox embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run first held in 1981, involves millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world’s largest oneday fundraiser for cancer research.

So when it came to planning his eighth birthday party for the 8th of December, Keegan decided to do something a little different.

“I decided to collect donations instead of gifts because my birthday is so close to Christmas. I really like Terry Fox a lot and all he did, so I’m giving the money to help fight cancer,” he says.

During the Christmas holiday break, birthday boy Keegan and his family delivered a gift of $512.22 that is helping fund patient care equipment at the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario at Kingston General Hospital. Keegan and his younger brother Aidan paid a visit to the cancer centre recently to see what his money could buy.

“I think it’s hugely inspirational when you

Cory Gosnell, Keegan and Aidan Vallier think of somebody of that age who has chosen to instead of getting the toys and presents for their birthday, make a contribution to the lives of cancer patients,” says Cory Gosnell of the cancer centre.

“It demonstrates that younger and younger people are realizing the impact that cancer can have on anybody.”

The advancements we’re able to make in technology, and in treatments, which is largely supported through donations we receive, has a tremendous impact on patient experience, patient satisfaction and the outcomes they experience.

OLG to appear at city council Sept. 18 to answer casino questions

By Bill Hutchins Correspondent

EMC News – Either in the downtown or near Highway 401.

Those are the two main areas where a privatelyoperated gambling casino could be allowed under the city’s current Official Plan and zoning rules, according to a new report.

Councillors won’t make a final decision on whether Kingston is even interested in being a host city for a casino until October. However, an advance staff report provides some information on potential locations for a gaming facility.

The study reviewed existing municipal planning rules, noting the downtown’s central business district, Division Street

near the 401, and Gardiners Road near the Cataraqui Town Centre are three of the most suitable locations.

“A casino is not specifically contemplated within the policies of the Official Plan,” explained Cynthia Beach, commissioner of sustainability and growth.

However, it is staff’s opinion that a casino could fall within the broad definition of ‘entertainment uses,’ which zoning rules currently permit in Kingston’s central business and outlying regional business hubs.

Finding the right location for a privately-run casino could prove to be a major sticking point for the community if council agrees to become a host city. The province will decide which communities

will get a casino under the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s (OLG’s) revamped business plan, moving away from the border model and putting casinos close to where people live, but municipalities can expect to retain control over the type, size and location.

“The city’s involvement would relate to processing and approving any required planning applications,” wrote Beach in her report to the September 4 council meeting.

To that end, the city would be in a position to demand parking, traffic, noise impact, site servicing and other studies as it would before approving any large-scale commercial development. Any change to the Official Plan

or zoning rules would also require a mandatory public meeting.

The report says that while some casinos operate as stand-alone facilities, others resemble what you’d find in Las Vegas – part of larger-scale developments that include hotels, restaurants, convention centres and even full service resorts.

Staff say council could influence casino locations and amenities as part of a future motion advising the OLG that Kingston wishes to be a host municipality.

The motion - which has yet to be crafted, debated or voted on - could also spell out locations that would be acceptable for casino, and those that are not.

The internal report is expected to raise more ques-

qualified casino operators will be allowed to submit a business plan, -the province has the final say on which casino operators can set up.

The province will seek bids from private casino operators this fall, and is expected to award contracts to build and operate gaming centres in early 2013. The OLG is trying to boost revenues from slot machines and gaming tables to $3 billion annually, up from the current $1.7 billion, by fully turning over casino operations to the private sector.

Beach says a council resolution supporting a casino does not mean it’s a done deal. Two other neighbouring communities are fighting to keep the Thousand Islands casino.

She noted: “If council chooses to designate the city as a host community, there is no guarantee that Kingston would receive a gaming facility.”

tions for councillors, who appear as divided as the community on whether to welcome large-scale gambling within city borders.

OLG representatives confirmed they will accept an invitation to appear at the September 18 council meeting to answer questions about the casino “modernization” plan.

The OLG has established more than two dozen gaming zones across the province. The so-called E3 zone includes Kingston, South Frontenac Township, Gananoque and Leeds and Thousand Islands Township. Only one casino is allowed in each zone.

Domino tickles the funny bone with English comedy Bedside Manners hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Entertainment The Domino Theatre is keeping things light and fun this year as it celebrates its 60th anniversary season.

Opening Sept. 6, Derek Benfield’s traditional English farce Bedside Manners will kick things off. The play is sure to please any fan of situational comedy; set in the early ‘80s, it tells of the conflicts that arise when two men bring their mistresses to a country inn for what is intended to be a romantic weekend.

“It’s a lot of physical comedy…[and] it’s a little bit naughty, so we put a mature subject warning on it,” says director Ken Weston. “But still, you’d see far worse things on television.”

Martin Fobert plays Ferris, who is grudgingly filling a weekend shift at the hotel for his sister.

“Ferris is very much a pod,” says Fobert. “He’s in his own little world and he’s entertained by what’s going on. He doesn’t really care how [the two guys’ dilemmas turn out], he just finds it all hilarious and is making a few bucks on the side helping them out.”

Fobert explains that the key to performing in a

comedy is to be serious.

“If I was acting silly it wouldn’t be funny,” he says. “Everyone has to play their part very seriously and then…you put it all together and you get comedic art. It’s definitely challenging, but I’m really enjoying the opportunity.”

All the hilarity makes for some good times on set, and Fobert notes he and the other actors are having fun with the show.

“It’s very funny,” he says. “We have trouble getting through rehearsals sometimes.”

Deidre Tylecki, who plays the role of Helen, agrees, noting that in the play “anything that can go wrong does. There are a lot of hyjinks, doors slamming, misunderstandings, etc.”

Tylecki is happy to be returning to the Domino for this milestone season after a 15-year hiatus. She comments that the impressive longevity of the company and the local community’s commitment to it are quite remarkable: “There are tons of people who have been regular members for as long as Domino’s existed. It’s because of those people that [patrons] continue to come back season after season to support it. The volunteers help make it happen,

Weston is one of the people who has been with the Domino for a number of decades, and currently serves as president; he estimates that Bedside Manners is the 20th show he has directed with the company.

credible,” he says. “This is an organization that solely through volunteers has kept the theatre company going for 60 years.”

Weston points out that the company has survived some challenging times, such as losing its original space at the Tett several years ago. He believes this to be a great testament to the commitment of volunteers.

Weston adds that “there have been a number of people who have come through Domino and gone on to do professional work, which is another good sign.

“Hats off to the organization,” he says. “They’ve done an incredible job bringing good theatre to Kingston.”

Pet of the Week

Neither cake nor cookies for breakfast Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

EMC Lifestyle - One of my favourite Bill Cosby stories is one in which he tries to persuade his wife that it was okay for him to give their kids chocolate cake for breakfast.

She doesn’t believe his defence of “They made me do it! They made me give them chocolate cake!”

So he falls back on what he figures is a winning argument. “But cake is good for you. There’s all sorts of good stuff in it - there’s wheat and eggs and milk.”

Needless to say, he doesn’t persuade her.

When I saw this recipe for “Breakfast Cookies”, I immediately thought of Bill Cosby’s story. These cookies also have a lot of “good stuff” in them - molasses, eggs, milk, oatmeal, flour, bran and raisins.

While I don’t recommend cookies for breakfast, these make a good after-school snack, espe-

cially when eaten with an apple. And they’re not just for kids. Grown-ups like them too.

Breakfast Cookies 3/4 cup margarine (not the spreadable type, but the one sold in blocks), softened 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 3 tbsp. molasses 1/2 cup milk 1 cup flour 1 cup bran 2 cups oatmeal 3/4 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups raisins

Consider adding one of these animals to your family

In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine and sugar. Add the eggs and molasses, and mix well.

Stir in the milk, then add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

Drop heaping tablespoons of batter 1” apart on a greased baking sheet.

Flatten each cookie with a fork dipped in cold water.

Bake at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies begin to brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, and let cool before removing them from the baking sheet.

Makes 2 to 3 dozen.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

How to encourage kids to be more physically active When today’s parents reflect on their childhood, many likely recall seemingly endless days spent playing outdoors. But when today’s kids become tomorrow’s parents, chances are their recollections won’t recall nearly as much time spent idling the days away under the sun.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 17 percent of American children and adolescents between the ages of 2 to 19 are obese. In Canada, where self-reporting data collection methods have made such statistics more difficult to quantify, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children is also on the rise, according to the Canadian

Community Health Survey.

The rise in overweight or obese children is likely a byproduct of several factors, not the least of which is that many of today’s kids prefer to play a video game on the couch instead of going outdoors and being physically active. The potential ramifications of youngsters choosing a more sedentary lifestyle are dangerous, as it increases their risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, respiratory ailments and joint problems, among other things. What’s more, numerous studies have found that obese or overweight children are more likely to become obese or overweight adults, which highlights the

importance of embracing a physically active lifestyle as a youngster.

Parents know it’s not always easy to get kids to be more physically active. But the following are a few tips parents might find useful when encouraging their kids to embrace a more active lifestyle.

• Give toys that encourage physical activity. Kids love toys, and their toys will often dictate how they spend their days. Instead of buying the latest video game console, give kids toys that encourage them to be active. This can include balls, bicycles, jump ropes, or even a backyard swingset. Kids who embrace these activities at a young

age are more likely to continue doing so into adolescence and adulthood.

• Reduce time spent in front of the television. Parents who can effectively minimize the amount of time their child spends in front of the television, whether reducing their time spent watching television or playing video games, will likely be more successful at instilling a love of physical activity as well. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents limit their child’s time in front of the television to one to two hours per day, and that includes the time children spend playing video games. To further reduce kids’ time watching TV, don’t allow televisions in their bedrooms,

as that will only make it harder to monitor just how much time kids are spending in front of their TVs. • Remember that physical activity should be fun. Not all kids are athletic, and some will likely bemoan participating in recreational sports leagues. But that doesn’t mean parents should give up on encouraging physical activity. Instead, find a physical activity that your child finds fun and encourage his or her participation. This might be nontraditional kids’ sports like cycling or jogging or activities like dancing, hiking or even bird watching. Once a child exhibits a healthy interest in a physical activity that you have deemed safe,

encourage it.

• Set a positive example.

Kids, especially younger children, look up to their parents and often try to emulate what Mom and Dad are doing.

Parents can make the most of that adoration by setting a positive example and being physically active themselves.

Go for a nightly bike ride or a walk around the neighborhood with your youngsters in tow. Or put that elliptical machine in the basement to good use. Whatever physical activity you choose, you can bet your children will express an interest in it as well, and that’s a great way to make them more enthusiastic about having a healthy and active lifestyle.

Have you tried The Landings yet?

While it has been a very hot and dry summer in Kingston, The Landings Golf Course continues to be a great place to play golf. Located next to Lake Ontario at Norman Rogers Airport in Kingston’s west end, cool lake breezes provide golfers with relief from the sweltering heat. And while some golf courses in the area bake under the sun, our steady supply of water for irrigation keeps the course in great shape.

At The Landings, we strive to provide a complete golf experience, and pride ourselves in teaching more people to play golf than any of the other courses in Kingston – COMBINED!!

Our practice range and teaching facility is the finest in Kingston, and we boast two of the finest CPGA professionals – Chris Barber and Dale Pedersen.

On the course, our 4,300 yard, par-63 layout provides beginners with a very playable course, while experienced players will enjoy the excellent greens and terrific shot value. And as the course continues to mature, trees that were planted during the initial construction are getting bigger, providing shade, beauty and challenge.

The Landings also plays host to the best nights of golf in Kingston. Our Women’s night, held on Monday and Tuesday nights, feature golf, a delicious dinner, and a chance for prizes. The Men’s night, which happens on Thursdays, give the guys an opportunity to play golf, win some prizes, and feast on a terrific steak dinner.

Whether you are looking to sign up for Women’s or Men’s night, organize a company tournament, or just book a tee time, call the pro shop at 634-7888.
