City’s Tett Centre restoration costs go through the roof

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Trillium Blooms Gala Pg. 45

EMC News – The cost of fixing up another piece of Kingston’s history has soared overbudget.

And, city councillors say they have little choice but to pay an extra $1.7 million to finish the restoration of the J.K. Tett Centre on King Street West.

“This was a shock, but it’s also an incredibly important project for the City of Kingston,” said Coun. Liz Schell.

A few councillors refused to pay the added costs.

“It just sickens me that this continues to

happen,” complained Coun. Kevin George.

Construction of the revamped Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning began in September 2011 and is expected to be completed in July 2014, seven months later than initially planned. The 19th century city-owned building will be transformed into an arts cluster. The facelift coincides with ongoing construction of the Queen’s University Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts next door.

City officials say the Tett building’s initial assessment failed to reveal hidden problems.

“Yes, we did do proper due diligence,” insisted Cynthia Beach, commissioner of sustainability and growth.

However, she says unforeseen soil con-

tamination and structural repairs to the water’s edge foundation will push the project’s overall cost from $11.5 million, to $13.2 million.

The pre-construction study failed to determine the true depth of the bedrock, which must be anchored to the limestone foundation, a key component of modern building codes. Adding structural support to other sections of the 200 year old building also contributed to cost overruns, Beach explained.

“We’ve run into something that was unanticipated by the experts,” she told the May 7 council meeting.

Council voted 8-4 to expand the budget and complete the project. The additional funding will come from two municipal reserve funds

dedicated to capital repairs and environmental clean-up.

The city has a history of tackling heritage projects that later faced expanded budgets, including the Grand Theatre and Artillery Park Aquatic Centre. The extra costs for the Tett had some councillors ready to draw a line in the limestone.

“Tonight I’m taking a stand and saying no,” said Coun. Brian Reitzel, who voted against spending the additional $1.7 million.

City officials say the extra costs were scrutinized by independent experts. They also advised council that without the extra funding Continued on page 10

Capital Ideas: Kingston eyes major road & building projects Reporter

EMC News – The complete widening of John Counter Boulevard will proceed with or without the financial support of senior governments.

At their recent priority talks, city officials confirmed a timetable to finish the $60 million final phases between Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard and the VIA train station, including a two-lane bridge over the main CN tracks.

The costly work, expected to begin in 2015 and be finished by 2019, will be added to the city’s capital budget spending list. It will be financed through a combination of long-term borrowing and development charges, but the city remains hopeful higher levels of government will contribute some funding.

The current phase of the widening work, between Division Street and Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard, is slated to wrap up this year.

Councillors are also looking at whether they can afford to add four other major projects to Kingston’s long-term capital budget, including: -$35 million public works maintenance garage, -$30 million Wellington Street extension, -$16-$18 million expansion of the airport terminal and runway, -$13 million for groundwork to get the third bridge crossing ‘shovel ready.’

Councillors approved an omnibus mo-

tion that instructs staff to explore how and when the four projects could be financed, and to present the findings before this fall’s 2014 capital budget talks.

“The majority of people in my district want it. If the bridge work doesn’t proceed they want a hold on all future development in Kingston East until the traffic issues are resolved,” said Pittsburgh councillor Brian Reitzel, who pushed for the next phase of the third bridge work.

He says upcoming construction work on Highway 401, between Montreal Street and Highway 15 for the next four years, will only add to the transportation woes of east enders.

However, Coun. Reitzel is worried that no third crossing groundwork - final bridge design, land acquisition and costing estimates - can be started until the province first approves the environmental assessment.

The actual bridge construction, estimated between $120 million and $200 million, will be left to a future council to approve and finance.

Councillors pushed for approval of other priority projects before their four year term winds down.

Coun. Dorothy Hector wants the expansion of Norman Rogers Airport to proceed in her Lakeside district. She says it’s vital for the city’s economic development, keeping existing air carriers, and attracting new ones.

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, May 16, 2013 3

Queen’s medical student prepares to embark on cross-country charity bike ride

By Kristen Coughlar kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Last summer, Joe Gabriel biked from Kingston to Quebec City. This summer, he’s decided to push the envelope and tackle a crosscountry trek.

“I’ve always, since I was a kid, ridden casually, but a couple of summers ago, while I was doing my master’s in Toronto, I went riding with a friend a lot, my friend Will. We’d go and do little 20-30 kilometre jaunts,” Gabriel explained.

Both originally from the Northumberland region, Gabriel and his friend decided one day to attempt a longer ride, 110 kilometres, from Toronto to Cobourg.

“I remember getting there and falling asleep at 8 p.m. That was a lot of fun,” Gabriel said.

It wasn’t until last year however, that Gabriel said he really caught the bug for long distance bike riding. As soon as the trip was over he began contemplating the possibility of another ride the following summer.

“I’m at the point now in my academic career where this is like the last summer that I get ever, so I really want to make the most out of it and I figured a bike trip across the country would be the best way to do a lot.”

A second-year Queen’s medical student, Gabriel would like to take advantage of this last real summer vacation before clerkship and residency take over.

“At first I thought, maybe I’ll see if I can do the same trip but just go out a little further to the east coast,” he said, referring to last summer’s ride to Quebec City. “But I have the whole summer and there is so much of the country that I haven’t seen that it would just be really cool to do a cross coun-

try one.”

Gabriel said the trip, which will see him travel from British Columbia to the Maritimes, is 11 times the distance of that Kingston to Quebec City ride, at approximately 6,500 kilometres. And unlike the trek to Quebec City, in which he said he was spoiled with a relatively flat route and good weather, he expects to experience all different kinds of terrain and weather conditions during his cross-country ride.

He’ll also have to take up camping.

“Over that distance it’s not feasible to stay in motels, you really have to camp…I’ve never been much of a camper, but I’m slowly acquiring all of the gear and doing all the research,” he said.

In fact, Gabriel has even taken to sleeping with an inflatable pillow in order to prepare for his trip, and is planning an overnight camping trip to Sandbanks Provincial Park prior to his departure.

He’s also finalizing a list of charities he hopes to support through his journey.

“To be able to raise money for a few great causes along the way just seemed like a really good idea,” Gabriel said, adding, “The idea is 10 charities, 10 provinces, $10,000.”

For his Ontario charity, Gabriel has decided to support Yellow Bike Action here in Kingston. A volunteer-run organization, Yellow Bike Action provides space, tools and advice for community members to fix, update and maintain their bike on a drop-in, pay-by-donation basis.

“They’ve been good to me in the past and I feel like, at a local level, this is kind of a way to give back,” he said.

Gabriel is currently putting the finishing touches on the website cyclingforcanada.org where there will be info and updates about his ride, details about his chosen charities and a link

to donate.

“The idea is not to have people donate for individual charities, it’s to have people donate and have 10 cents of each dollar go to each charity,” he explained.

Gabriel hopes to have all aspects of his trip finalized and be ready to depart the last week of May or first week of June. He will depart from Victoria, B.C. and hopes to make it to Halifax, N.S. in 10 week’s time.

“The goal is Halifax, but if I have a bit more time I’d like to go out to PEI, and if I have even way more time—if I’m super lucky or I really work these legs—I’ll go out to Newfoundland.”

He said he can’t wait to get started and is excited to see more of the country.

“I’ve never been, within Canada, west of Banff, so it’s nice to start off the trip in a brand new area. I’m really excited for Victoria and Vancouver,” he said, adding that there’s a music festival he’d like to check out in Kelowna.

He’s also anticipating the third day of his journey, during which he will tackle the steep grades and high altitudes of Allison Pass.

“Apparently that is supposed to be the hardest day, and if you can get through that you can get through the rest of it no problem,” Gabriel said.

On the fundraising side, Gabriel is excited to see the community’s response to the charities he plans to support along his journey.

“I don’t really know what to expect. It’s one of those things where if we end up raising a small amount of money it would be wonderful, I would be ecstatic, but there is the possibility, when you’re branching out to this many chari- Joe Gabriel, a second-year Queen’s medical student, ties and you’re involving this many communi- will embark on a 6,500-kilometre cross-country bike ties…that we could raise even more than the ride later this month.

Kingston to host two world-class sailing events in 2015

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Sports - The Limestone City has long been known as a world-class destination for sailing. In 2015, Kingston will once again be able to show off what its waterways have to offer, as Canadian Olympic Regatta Kingston (CORK) has won bids to host two important tournaments that summer.

The highly competitive Laser Standard Men’s World Championship will take

place June 29 – July 8, 2015, followed by the Laser Masters’ World Championships July 10-18. The former will be an important event for sailors looking to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The events were announced at a media conference held May 8 at the Holiday Inn. Together, they are expected to draw over 1,500 athletes, coaches, officials and spectators from over 50 countries worldwide.

North American Laser Class President Andy Roy explained that Kingston had

some tough competition from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico when they were deciding which city would host the events.

“It was a tough decision, but it came down to Kingston,” he said. “Some of the reasons it was the preferred site were its accessibility for sailors, reliable sailing conditions [and] warm waters.”

In addition, Roy said that the facilities at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour are excellent for holding these big regattas. He also pointed out that the CORK team is second to none when it comes to managing successful large events.

“And, of course, the town of Kingston has so many things to offer the sailors and the people that are coming with them - spouses

and crew – for dining and accommodation,” Roy said. “It’s just a fun place to be in the summer.”

Roy himself has a long history of competing in Kingston. He explained that he grew up in Ottawa, but spent his summers sailing on Lake Ontario.

“I was so happy to see the event coming here,” Roy said, noting that 2015 will mark the 35th anniversary of the 1980 Laser Worlds, also held at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, which he competed in.

“There were 315 competitors,” he recalled. “It’s a famous regatta that people still talk about to this day. A lot of tremendous sailors were there – some of the most recognized in the world. That’s going to be my job, to get some of them back here and get them back in shape for the Masters Worlds in 2015.”

Kingston’s director of tourism Rob Carnegie remarked that the regattas will

also be extremely beneficial to the city from an economic standpoint, and that early reports estimate a total economic impact of around $3.5 million for the 2015 Laser Worlds.

Carnegie said that “this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase why Kingston has earned the reputation as the freshwater sailing capitol of the world…This event will help continue to raise Kingston’s profile as a destination for international sailing and sport championship hosting.”

Carnegie pointed out that sport tourism has been a part of our community for a very long time, and that he sees CORK as being a foundation for this success: “CORK has done an outstanding job of hosting first-class events for over 30 years, and we look forward to supporting them as they work towards the 2015 Laser Worlds.”

Can Kingston city council maintain high ambitions and low taxes?

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC Editorial – While councillors talked about big ticket projects at their recent priority-setting meeting, it was the small things that stood out.

Small as in the size of next year’s projected tax increase.

Councillors say they will strive for a property tax hike no higher than 2.5 percent in the final year of their mandate – the same rate as what was

approved for this year. However, it will take a lot more budget stoneturning by city administrators to find enough savings.

Chief administrator Gerard Hunt put councillors on notice that the city will have to find $1.3 million to meet the ambitious tax target. “I don’t know if we will find the $1.3 million,” he advised.

Coun. Jeff Scott raised the prospect of exploring the need to contract out municipal services – yes, even policing – in order to find long-term

sustainable savings. “There are realities going on around us,” he said, referring to cities like Brockville and Belleville that are already doing a cost-benefit analysis that compares municipal policing versus the OPP. His comments went over like a pregnant pole vaulter, and Scott quickly sunk back into his chair as his nervous colleagues quickly changed the subject.

Coun. Bill Glover bit off something that’s a little more palatable for cash-hungry councillors when he

challenged the “frills” the corporation spends every day – from food at meetings to printing too much paper.

“It’s an attitude. It’s a mindset,” he continued.

Mayor Mark Gerretsen picked up on Glover’s paper cuts, complaining the city’s printing press doesn’t need to churn out so much paper for its agendas because almost all of the material is now available on-line to the public and through the tax-funded purchase of tablet computers for each council member.

R0012084707

His anti-paper rant continued during an interview: “This is 2013. You should see the amount of paper the City of Kingston produces including the legal documents I have to sign.”

Less paper may contribute to lower taxes, he added.

The potential for nickel-and-dime operational savings in one breath, while seeking ways to spend tens of millions to upgrade roads, treatment plants, airport and bridges in the capital budget, made for a curious contradiction.

The mayor says there’s nothing wrong with challenging staff to strive for a 2.5 percent tax target one percent of which is dedicated to the capital infrastructure budget - and he insists councillors will have the stomach for making tough decisions if service cuts are deemed the only solution.

But council’s pre-occupation to be all things to all people may be a difficult habit to break. Barely a meeting goes by without at least one motion directing staff to explore yet another new spending initiative.

Even councillors admit the knee-jerk policy talk is a weakness.

Coun. Dorothy Hector says council doesn’t always understand the financial impact or staff workload of everything it asks for. “We have our pet projects … it’s difficult to say no to a really great idea.”

“We are too quick to support those ideas,” agreed Coun. Jim Neill.

Councillors are, once again, putting a lot of faith in their senior staff to turn over enough stones and find the savings they need in 2014, or they may be forced to use the one word they dread telling department heads at budget time - saying ‘no.’

In Our Opinion

Like a tattoo Hollie Pratt-Campbell Reporter

@hollieprattcamp

EMC Editorial - When it comes to family size, how do you know when enough is enough?

A while back, I read a blog post that compared having babies to getting tattoos. (Alas, I cannot find the post or remember the name of the author. I think somebody tweeted it.)

Anyway, the writer pointed out that the same quality of sadistic addiction is applicable to both. You know you probably shouldn’t have another baby or get another tattoo. You know that it will hurt, and that it will mutilate your body irreparably. But once you have one, you somehow feel incomplete without another...and another...and another.

My own parents are extremely rational people. Neither has a tattoo, and they only had one baby. Unfortunately, their good sense was not hereditary. I have a tattoo and a baby, and I must say I kind of want more of both, sooner rather than later.

If you had told me a year ago that I would eventually want another baby, I probably would have marched right into KGH and had my tubes tied, forever saving myself from this kind of insanity. Over the past 12 months, however, things

have improved significantly. I’m loving the family/work balance, and the horrors of labour, delivery and breastfeeding problems are gradually fading in my mind.

Steve and I had always planned on having two kids. Why not just “get it all over with” now? To quote Steve, we are currently “in the $#!t”.

Our lives revolve around diapers, car seats, strollers, sippy cups and gratefully savouring every second of sleep we’re permitted. We’ve hunkered down and accepted this lifestyle as our reality for the next few years, and I’m starting to wonder if it wouldn’t be easier to just keep the chaos going a little bit longer instead of “coming up to breathe” when Summer becomes more independent, forgetting what it’s like, and being shocked all over again at how hard life with a baby really is.

Or for that matter, why stop at two? My friend (and former EMC reporter) Mark and his wife recently had their fourth baby, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t envious. I don’t doubt that things are hectic for them with four kids under four, but let’s face it, it’s hectic enough with one. It seems logical that the stress and exhaustion of subsequent children would simply absorb into that brought on by their older siblings, especially if they’re all around the same age, making for less net stress and exhaustion overall.

And, think of how much joy a big

family would bring down the road.

Holiday gatherings would be full of love, warmth and conversation.

Each child is bound to have at least one close friend among his or her siblings, and we the parents increase our odds of having one among the bunch willing to look after us in our old age.

It is at this point in my fantasy that Steve will usually jump in and say something like “how on earth do you expect to pay for all these kids and put them through university?” In my head, I know he’s right. We are not wealthy people, and our house only has so many bedrooms.

I may long to have four, five or six children in the same way I fantasize about getting vintage lovebirds on a branch tattooed at the base of my neck, and a long-stemmed rose on my calf. I have a feeling, though, that in reality there is room for only one more tattoo on my body: the name of our second child on my right wrist, to go with Summer’s name on my left. In the end, nothing is as permanent or impactful as the effect my children will have on my life, and I know I will never regret going to the grave with their names on my body.

The only question now is when baby Campbell #2 will make his or her appearance. Soon, I hope, but we’ll probably chicken out for a couple years. Then again, maybe not...

Museum Month EMC Editorial – Did you know that Ontario is home to over 600 museums, art galleries and heritage sites? Here in Kingston and the surrounding area, there is no shortage of these institutions to explore as part of Museum Month.

The entire month of May serves as an opportunity for Ontarians to discover and enjoy the province’s many museums, while on May 18 the world’s museums are celebrated as part of International Museum Day. International Museum Day has been observed in and around May 18 since 1977; this year, more than 30,000 museums in about 100 countries will celebrate this occasion.

We at the EMC would like to encourage local area residents to share in the celebration and hit up one or more of the area’s many museums this Saturday in honour of International Museum Day, or make a plan to do so before month end.

According to the Kingston Association of Museums, Art Galleries and Historic Sites, the Limestone City is home to 24 museums and historic sites and three art galleries. Just steps outside the city’s limits, even more exist.

Whether you are a newcomer to the city and surrounding area or a life-long resident, chances are you have yet to experience all these cultural gems, such as Canada’s Penitentiary Museum, located at 555 King Street West. Located in the former warden’s residence of Kingston Penitentiary, the museum is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the history of our federal penitentiaries.

What about the Bath Museum, located at 434 Main St. in Bath?

Housed in the Old Town Hall, originally constructed in 1861 as a court house, the museum features United Empire Loyalist, First World War, and Second World War memorabilia and artifacts dating back 400 years.

There’s also the Rideau District Museum, located at 29 Bedford St. in Westport. Established in 1961, the museum is housed in an authentic 1850’s blacksmith and carriage shop and home to many interesting artifacts, including the doors of the hearse that carried the body of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.

These museums and more can be found on the Ontario Museum Association’s Discover Ontario Museums site, museumsontario.ca.

Check it out and start planning your visit to one of the area’s many fascinating museums.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What’s FRITE’ES! Happening

Newton & Alice: The Musical Dear editor, I would like to thank the 800 people who came to experience Newton & Alice: The Musical, starring adults with special needs, during its sold-out, fourday run in The Box at H’art Centre.

As a theatre professional, working alongside the artists at H’art serves as an ongoing reminder of the importance of collaboration and inclusion in the art of theatre. At its heart, theatre is a collaborative art form between a number of different artists: playwright, director, designers, performers and stage managers, working together and sharing the same artistic vision in order to creatively tell a story in a theatrical manner. The play was fresh reminder that each one of us, no matter what our ability, is essential to the process.

In many ways, the inclusive collaborative working methodology which theatrical practice encourages can and should be applied as a model of living within healthy and vibrant communities.

This original play, based on the newest book in H’art’s illustrated Newton series, could not have been possible without the help of our signature sponsor

Thériault Wealth Management Team| RBC Dominion Securities and supporters: Froujke Staal, KINCORE Holdings Limited, The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Sport and The Kingston Whig Standard.

Working as lead artist on a number of H’art projects, I have witnessed the opportunities H’art creates for people facing challenges to foster their artistic aspirations through the study, enjoyment and production of works in the arts. This dedication arises from the understanding that diverse identities, perspectives, and artistic practices should be recognized, experienced and valued because they enrich the arts in our community.

I am pleased to say The Box, H’art’s newly developed inclusive performing arts space, continues the dedication to this strategy. It is providing an arts space and artistic resources for the most vulnerable members of society to practise and share their creative vision.

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, May 16, 2013 9

City’s Tett Centre restoration costs go through the roof the project simply couldn’t proceed, and abandoning signed construction contracts would not be advisable due to the project’s advanced stage.

Beach informed council there’s no way to absorb the extra costs by scaling back the project’s scope.

She says there are no “frills” because it’s an industrial grade building and the city is only focused on fixing up the shell and structural walls. “We cannot find $1.7 million in cost savings without making a major change to this project.”

Coun. Rick Downes says the best approach is to pay the extra money and then seek accountability for the pre-construction work once the project is completed. “I don’t like it either but the responsible thing is to continue with the project.”

Coun. Jim Neill urged citizens not to blame arts groups - future renters of the Tett building - for the

unexpected cost overruns. “Blame council … blame staff if you wish … but don’t, please, blame the arts community for this.”

Patty Petkovich, co-chair of the Tett’s non-profit management board, told council the waterfront building is important to a variety of artisans such as Spinners and Weavers, Potters Guild, Lapidary and Mineral Club, Kingston School of Dance and other tenants who have moved to temporary locations around the city awaiting their return to the Tett. She applauded the “forward thinking” renovations.

So far, it appears the extended completion timeline will only impact the Kingston School of Dance, which can’t renew its temporary downtown lease and will have to seek other accommodations until next July.

Local businessman Phillip Brown also spoke to council about the project’s budget increase of 15 percent. He urged politicians to hit the pause button, review the additional costs and look at removing the addition of a 100-foot tall steel and glass malting tower on the Tett’s lakeside roof.

In council chambers he remarked: “This is the only room that I know of where you can walk in and not be accountable for cost overruns.”

Teams battle it out in “grate” spelling bee

By Kelly Reid Correspondent

EMC Events - For most of us, a spelling bee is a long-forgotten ritual of public school and generally not a thrill. Kingston Literacy and Skills, however, has revived the spelling bee into an exciting, hilarious, and charitable event. The Grate Groan-Up Spelling Bee, an event that invites teams to collect pledges in advance of dressing up in spirited costumes and spelling their hearts out for family literacy, celebrated its 19th year May 7 at the Days Inn hotel.

Donna Perrin, executive director of KL&S, began the evening with opening remarks. “Family literacy is about the way families use language in their daily lives,” she explained.

All of the funds raised during this year’s bee will go towards supporting the organization’s family literacy initiatives. KL&S runs playgroups and events for parents with young children that focus on making literacy interesting.

“I just want to thank all of the many volunteers for making sure this was possible,” Perrin went on.

One such volunteer is Verna Mann-Renaud, a committee member who has been with the Where you always save a bundle!

all went towards that total.

“It went very well,” Mann-Renaud said.

With the money raised, KL&S will be able to continue projects such as the Reading and Parenting Program and their Upgrading for Parents with Preschoolers, both of which allow parents to support their children’s learning.

Of course, the bee as much about about having fun as it is raising funds and many of the participating teams showed their spirit with elaborate costumes, including Harry Potter, Coneheads, Sherlock Holmes, and pyjamas. Some of the teams represented included Empire Life, the Canadian Defence Academy, Kingston WritersFest, and reigning champions Bergeron Clifford LLP. The friendly competition heated up as the evening went on.

“By the end of the night, it’s so exciting. Everyone is on the edge of their seats,” says Mann-Renaud. “We had some pretty tough teams in there.”

In fact, nearly all of the teams were still in it right up until the dinner break – a first, according to the committee.

In the end, the KPMG team was victorious and won the Best Spellers prize, as well as the prize for most pledges. Empire Life was awarded Best Spirit, while the Canadian Defence Academy took home the title of Best Costumes.

Cheryl Bird, marketing coordinator for KL&S and organizer of the bee, was thrilled with the outcome of the evening.

“We had a lot of great spellers,” she says. “It was a fabulous event.”

According to KL&S, “The Bee is such an entertaining event that teams and spectators alike return year after year.”

Bayridge students win $5,000 for the food bank hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC News - For the last five years, Partners in Mission Food Bank executive director Sandy Singers has worked with local high school students on Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) projects, in which the students attempt to convince a panel of judges that their local charity of choice should win $5,000.

“Without exaggeration, I think we’ve probably had 20 of these applications made on our behalf with the students,” he says.

Surprisingly, however, they never won – until this year.

Grade 10 Bayridge Secondary School students Andrea Rankin, Rachel Amsden and Emma Quinn presented their project

May 1 during their school’s YPI challenge, earning $5,000 for the Food Bank’s food basket program. The funding came from the Toskan-Casale Foundation, along with several other major sponsors including TD Bank. Judges included LDSB director Brenda Hunter, Bayridge vice principal Kristin Stevens and past YPI winners and/or finalists Alec Orr, Rachel Keirstead, Mitchell Sharp and Tanner Kelly.

Andrea and Rachel explain that they were actually quite surprised to win, as they were up against some tough competition from their classmates, who advocated on behalf of H’art School of Smiles, Almost Home, Hospice Kingston and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

“We weren’t really expecting it because we thought all of the other presentations were really well done,” Andrea says. “But it was a really good feeling.”

It was the more detailed vision their group articulated for how they felt the funds could be used that eventually gave them the edge.

“We were actually told that because we used a specific example of buying fresh food for the food bank that it helped give us a higher ranking from all the other people,” Rachel says.

Andrea explains that “they used to get it from the prison farms, so once they got shut down [the food bank] was out of a source for fresh food. Because people can’t donate it they have to buy it themselves, so they were kind of really hoping for that money so that they don’t have to take that out of their operating cost.”

The girls hope their project will help generate awareness of the food bank among their classmates and the wider community, noting that it assists so many people throughout the city.

“I’m hoping that they’ll realize how much the food bank really helps out in Kingston, and all the people who live in Kingston who need the food bank,” says Rachel. “I’m hoping that they’ll start donating more food.”

Andrea also points out that monetary donations are equally important, and that while the $5,000 will help quite a bit, it won’t last forever: “Maybe this will kind of help jump start it and get people to realize that they do need monetary donations as well as canned donations.”’

Andrea adds that the YPI challenge is also a great way to get students thinking about what they can do for charities in general.

“Through watching all the other presentations too, you [learn how you] can easily support all the other charities throughout Kingston,” she says.

Singers notes that any monetary donation, big or small, is significant to the Partners In Mission Food Bank.

“It just means that we can utilize those

funds, for the most part, to purchase the food items we wouldn’t ordinarily have donated,” he says. “Even when we do these many food drives, [like our big one this week], you still don’t get everything you need...It’s significant in that we can continue to have well-

balanced hampers going out the door.”

He extends a huge congratulations to the students: “They were actually able to pull this off and make it happen for us, and we’re certainly grateful for their efforts.”

East end waterfront apartment project pits neighbours against developer

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – Some homeowners pay big bucks to get a waterfront view in Kingston.

Now, residents of a quiet east end street fear their view may be in jeopardy because of a proposed apartment building along the eastern shoreline of the Cataraqui River.

Homestead Land Holdings Ltd. is asking City Hall for a series of zoning changes, including allowing a high-density designation and easing the height restrictions, to permit an eight-storey, 95-unit apartment on the site of the Rideau Marina.

Neighbours in the Point St. Mark Drive area turned out in large numbers for a recent public meeting to oppose the project.

“I would not have bought this house if it was zoned high-density residential,” said area resident Jim Duquette.

He says he did extensive research into the surrounding land uses before buying his home last year, just up the slope from the marina, and was frustrated to learn about Homestead’s application.

“What does a person have to do when they’re trying to make a conscious and informed decision on one of the largest investments in their life? What does a person have to do?”

he wondered.

Homestead doesn’t deny that some waterfront views may be impacted, but believes the 1.8 hectare marina property is suitable for residential development. Homestead owns the marina and has already submitted a variety of studies to support its rezoning request; site plan, traffic impact, cultural heritage impact and tree inventory, while consulting with Parks Canada.

A spokesperson for the apartment builder says the proposed building is about 14 metres below the elevation of homes on Point St. Mark Drive, and it will be situated on the more remote northern portion of the site to minimize the visual impact on surrounding homeowners.

The site is currently zoned for uses such as a marina, hotel and restaurant, but nothing higher than 12 metres. Homestead wants its apartment building to be up to 26 metres tall.

District councillor Brian Reitzel says area residents fear the project is not only too big but will reduce property values and impact the river’s special designation as a UNESCO world heritage site. “Once you look at the plans and see that massing and what’s going on down there it doesn’t fit with the character of the waterfront or the housing in the area.”

City planners have not yet formulated a recommendation for council-

lors to debate on whether the eightstorey apartment should proceed and, if so, to what scale. Public feedback will be included in a future report to the planning committee.

“At this point staff haven’t reviewed the full application,” said growth commissioner Cynthia Beach.

However, Coun.

Reitzel believes Homestead will have to revise its plans in order to win political and neighbourhood support.

“They are obviously going to have to go back to the drawing board, bring something back.

If they do it will be a downscaled version or something completely different,” he predicted.

Duquette hopes the apartment will be downsized. If not, he says the sun will set 1.5 hours sooner on his backyard due

to the building’s proposed height, neighbourhood traffic will increase by 35 percent and, perhaps more importantly, the UNESCO designation will be impacted. “The million dollar view is everybody’s from the Rideau Canal.”

Of the seven-storey apartment, plus penthouse level, he added: “It’s going to dominate over the visible sightlines coming from a UNESCO world heritage site. That’s a crime and it sets a precedent.”

Archbishop O’Sullivan school community gets fit together with special CrossFit program hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC News - For the past six weeks, students, parents and staff members at Archbishop O’Sullivan Catholic School have come together in the name of fitness for a special program run by CrossFit Kingston. Every Wednesday evening, as many as 70 people came together at the school to engage in an hour of physical activity guided by CrossFit trainers.

The program was initiated by the Archbishop O’Sullivan parent council, and funded by a healthy active living grant from the government.

“We put our heads together and thought it would be awesome to see families getting healthy and fit and working together,” says trainer Vicki McConnell. “So we designed the program for six weeks, and the deal is parents have to come with their kids.”

McConnell explains that it’s important to get the entire family involved in a fitness routine order to ensure healthy values are being taught not only in school, but also at home.

“Our goal is to raise a healthier generation, because we see in the media and on the news all the time that obesity rates are on the rise and childhood diabetes is on the rise,” she says. “We even see that in our own lives. So if we can get the whole family involved in being healthy and making healthy choices, then we’re taking a step in the right direction.”

McConnell remarks that response to the program from both kids and parents has been tremendous.

“The comments we’ve had have been nothing but super positive,” she says. “All you have to do is look around. You never see a long face. Everybody’s smiling and laughing and working hard together. I think for me the highlight is watching kids encourage their parents during the workouts. That’s what it’s all about – helping families gel together.”

Dad John Rebelo attended the program with his two sons, Alex and Colin. He says that his leg muscles are always incredibly sore after each workout – which is, of course, a sign that all the exercise is making a difference.

“They keep you moving,” he says. “They’re very good trainers.”

Rebelo notes that as a father, he sees this kind of physical activity as being vitally important to the lives of children.

“It’s good in two ways,” he says. “It’s good for the school because the kids have something to do after school, and it gets them physical exercise that sometimes they don’t get. So instead of sitting at home playing video games, they come out for an hour and they get used to it.”

Archbishop O’Sullivan secretary Kathleen Logan-Rebelo also participated in the program with her children. She remarks that the last six weeks (Left to Right) Archbishop O’Sullivan students and parents Lucas Tulk, Kevin Tulk, Rachel have been great for the school in general.

Tulk, Ella Burns, Sharon Burns and Ava Burns practice squats assisted by trainers Sarah “It builds a big sense of community,” she says. Kauffman (Left) and Vicki McConnell.

It’s something they’ve all got in common, so they can talk about it [together]...The Grade 6s wouldn’t necessarily see the kindergartens every day because our yards are Floating Dock & Floating so big, but here they can watch them and inspire Dry-Dock Systems them.”

“If there are schools willing to do this, I think www.propshopontario.com it’s such a benefit,” she says.

Places to explore and things to experience

Mark Bergin

Laughs and tenderness combine in this masterpiece EMC Entertainment - Rarely, a production comes along that is so outstanding that it’s worth a trip to New York for the sole purpose of catching that one show.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is one such play.

Don’t mistake this masterful work for fluff. There are deep themes and messages lurking within the hilarious and at times chaotic script. Despite the craziness, It’s gently life affirming. Perhaps it fits radical psychiatrist R.D. Laing’s philosophy of insanity being a sane response to an insane world.

Christopher Durang writes biting and crazy satire, but he’s added gentle spices to the mixture. The New Yorker describes Durang as one of the funniest dramatists alive.

“It’s my getting older play,” said Durang, in a NYC-ARTS Profile. “When I was young, I had a lot of nihilistic feelings. I was kind of depressed back then.

People can accuse me of being sentimen-

tal, but I don’t want to send people home hopeless anymore. I really don’t like doing that.”

“I think of it more as gracious,” said David Hyde Pierce. “It’s a gracious way to treat the characters and treat all of Chekhov’s characters, by connection, who have lived since they’ve been written in that state of unfulfilled longing.”

One line in the play particularly stands out: “You must always get your hopes up.”

In Vanya, Durang takes Chekhov characters and themes, adds considerable doses of silliness, and turns on the heat.

Director Nicholas Martin has a perfect cast for this wacky yet sublime journey.

“The cast is so singularly accomplished,” said Megan Savage, one of Vanya’s producers. “I can’t speak highly enough of them. Sigourney (Weaver), David (Hyde Pierce) and Kristine (Nielsen) have all worked with Durang before.

That really informs their performances.

You can see how much they love the ma-

terial.”

Savage, a Harvard grad, got into theatre early.

“I saw my first play when I was four,” she said. “When I realized it was a thing you could do as a job, then I got into acting. During college, I transitioned to producing. I like the organizational components.”

Now she’s hit big-time Broadway and is thrilled with her first show. She explained that you can read a book about other lives and places, but when you attend a play or musical, you experience situations first hand. In other words, theatre is 4D. Not only do you experience the performance in visual 3D, you also experience a living emotional dimension.

It’s not fair to call Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike a mere comedy, although it is the best comic production I’ve seen in a very long time.

“It’s a comedy that packs an emotional punch,” said Savage. “It’s a great example of funny and moving at the same time.”

In the play, the three siblings’ academically oriented parents were active in community/amateur theatre and gave their children Chekhov-inspired names: Vanya (David Hyde Pierce), Sonia (Kristine Nielsen) and Masha (Sigourney Weaver).

Kristine Nielsen is a comic genius. In one sentence, she can break your heart and make you laugh: “My relationship with men is limited to ‘Here’s your change ma’am’ at the supermarket.”

No one can do deadpan, a sigh, or toss in an acerbic remark with a touch of innocence as well as David Hyde Pierce.

The multiple Emmy Award and Screen Actors Guild Award-winner (for his role as Niles Crane in Frasier) is a master of intonation, body language and timing.

Hyde Pierce excels in live theatre and outdoes himself in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. He gives the funniest and longest—it’s at least eight minutes long—rant I’ve witnessed on stage in a long time.

Along with the Chekhov-named siblings, you’ll meet a strangely lovable crew: Cassandra (Shalita Grant) is a soothsayer/housekeeper. She isn’t particularly adept at either role. Spike (Billy Magnussen) is Masha’s gorgeous boy-toy who gives one of the season’s funniest and most outrageous performances. Nina (Genevieve Angelson) enters as a wideeyed, celebrity-adoring young woman.

Put these acting ingredients together and a theatrical feast boils in front of you.

Siblings Vanya and Sonia have spent their lives at the family farmhouse caring for ailing parents, while Masha became a famous actor, gallivanting around the globe.

Sigourney Weaver plays Masha, the narcissistic sibling, in an over-the-top style. Masha pays for the family home upkeep, but offers David Hyde Pierce signs autographs for fans outside no emotional sup- the John Golden Theatre after a performance of Vanport.

bringing his one-man show, A Tribute to Jerry Lewis, to The Grand Theatre on June 13 in support of The Kingston Thousand Island Crime Stoppers. Presented by Celsk Benefit Promotions, the show is an hilarious routine of stand-up, mime, song and improvisation, all staying true and accurate to classic Lewis moments with nods to Charlie Chaplin, Victor Borge, Red Skelton and others.

It’s a perfect blend of riotous humour and nostalgic comedy. Arnold has been playing Jerry Lewis since the age of 13 in a variety of performances from dinner theatre to Knights of Columbus galas and stages around Ontario. He was last seen on a Kingston stage with his performance as Sparkle in the Domino Theatre Production of Judith Thompson’s Habitat, for which he won the Ontario Bancroft Theatre Guild Award for Best Actor. This show takes place at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30.

Domino Theatre presents Fox on the Fairway June 6-22 at its 52 Church St. theatre location. A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, Fox on the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with golf. Show runs Thursday through Saturday, June 6-8, 13-15, and 20-22.

New medical clinic services announced for isolated Wolfe Islanders

By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news-Liz Crothers, president of the Wolfe Island Community Medical Clinic, thanked the clinic board, the community as a whole, Frontenac Islands council, and Frontenac for their support of the clinic’s ongoing operation and initiatives at the recent annual general meeting. Specifically, Crothers praised the board members for their tenacious efforts on behalf of the clinic to provide health related services for the community The clinic, owned by the community and operated by an elected board of directors, is supported mainly through fund raising, donations, bequests and certain applicable grants including some assistance from the township. Crothers reviewed a successful year of events that included a speakers series, health programs related to wellness, physical activity and socialization, the annual flu shot clinic and CPR, foot care and BP clinics.

With regard to finances there were a number of successful fundraising events, an increase in donations and in services provided (snow, grass, etc). She noted specifically the property tax exemption now in place for the clinic as a big cost reduction. The Clinic is taking over the island’s 5km-10Km annual road race as a revenue source.

But Crothers also expressed at not being able to offer more in the way of medical services at the clinic built and named for such purposes, and the board’s ongoing efforts to do so. In terms of a clinic success, board member Hugh Cowan’s ongoing effort to have a Blood Clinic established on the island operating very second Friday morning, with specimens transported to Life Labs in Kingston by trained volunteers, is moving forward. “There is still much in the way of legal requirements before the service can start.” Liz said “It will be funded by the WI Clinic so we will be looking for more donations to pay for a registered phlebotomist . Once operational

it will lessen trips off the island.”

Another success was the announcement that Dr. Deanna Russell, (formerly Danishmend) will run a walk-in clinic every Tuesday for all islanders. “You don’t have to be her patient”. In the past Dr. Russell was concerned about servicing only rostered patients but believes the clinic was built for all. She plans to come every Tuesday (beginning June 4th) instead of every second Wednesday to see her patients (by appointment) first, and then at 4:45- 6pm opens it up to the community year round (except July long weekend and Christmas). .

“With regard to the rostering issue, it is still there , we have not resolved it,” board member Hugh Cowan said. “But the doctor is of the view that eventually the government will have to look at the roster policy in so far as it relates to more remote areas like Wolfe Island. We are going to try to hasten that along by meetings with Ministry of Health try and convince them that they have to change the policy, “ he said. “If Dr. Russell starts to see individuals coming to her regularly, she will suggest continuing to see her will cause problems with their own doctor and they will have to make a decision to sign up with her or not.” Cowan remarked that a specimen collection unit at the clinic (operating like any other)

and Dr. Russell’s walk-in clinic are two major changes for the benefit of the island.

“We must get the message out that this really is a, “use it or lose it”. If islanders do not use it, Dr. Russell will not coming, and without continued donations we will not be able to support a collection centre.

A Community Para Medicine Pilot Project, fully funded by Frontenac County and approved by Frontenac Islands council begins May 27th at the WI Community Medical Clinic and every 6 weeks (dates to be publicized and brochure prepared), thereafter for one year in conjunction with the Foot care clinic held at the same time.

The news was presented at the AGM by Frontenac County Director of Paramedic Services Paul Charbonneau.

“People can come in and have their blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and blood sugar taken and recorded,” he said, adding that it has not been unusual for people to be identified as having high blood sugar or unusual BP readings at paramedical clinics in other places. The clinics also provide opportunities to ask questions and be referred if questions go beyond the scope of their practice of the paramedics, or simply create feelings of well being through regular testing.

“Around nationally for about ten years the goal of Wellness clinics operated by Para Medics is to reduce 911 calls.” he said. It can be about setting up a wellness clinic like what we are proposing here or about paramedics visiting seniors at home, or rehab programs for heart patients held

in a school gym under their watchful eye .

“We are not here to replace anyone else ( a fear in the county)”, he said. “We are here to augment services”. Paramedics are well trained and need practice to keep up their skills and WI is not a high volume centre.

“There are only high acuity calls here.

People don’t call for fear of messing up the ferry. So we excited about setting up a clinic here and marrying it with the foot care clinic every 6 weeks organized through the Kingston Seniors Centre”. “This will be our first foray out into the Community” he concluded.

Other business at the meeting included the treasurers report by Linda Van Hal. A slate of 4 persons was acclaimed to serve on the board of directors of the Clinic.

Board members include: Liz Crothers, Hugh Cowan, Susan Bowers, Suzanne O’Reilly, Paul Taenzer, Linda Van Hal, Sally Kane, Wilma Sjongers, and a council representative, Wayne Grant.

Inspiring local student strives to help those living with IBD

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC News - Most of us don’t think twice about where the nearest bathroom might be as we go about our day, but this sort of concern is an ongoing reality for those who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Queen’s nursing student Carly Lindsay is on a mission to raise awareness of IBD and the difficulties faced by those living with it. Having been diagnosed with the most common kind of IBD, ulcerative colitis, at the age of 10, she understands first-hand not only the challenges these diseases can present, but also how difficult it is to have a condition involving symptoms people are often reluctant to bring up.

“It’s a very common disease that affects about one in 150 people, but it’s still very unknown to a lot of people in the public and it’s very stigmatized because people don’t talk about going to the bathroom,” Lindsay says.

In 2010, Lindsay climbed Mt. Everest in support of IBD and to raise awareness of those living with ostomies.

“It was amazing,” she notes, “almost

kind of indescribable. It was one of bathroom lockout in hopes of drawing the hardest things I’ve ever done both attention to this issue. mentally and physically, but it was an “A lot of people living with IBD amazing, once-ona-lifetime opportunity.”

Now, Lindsay is continuing to raise awareness of IBD a little closer to home by participating in a “bathroom lockout” campaign organized by Gut Inspired, a group of Canadians living with Chron’s disease and ulcerative colitis, who have joined forces to help each other better manage their diseases.

In order to raise awareness of Carly Lindsay climbs Mt. Everest in 2010.

public or a private bathroom,” Lindsay says. “So we’re trying to relieve that and help people gain bathroom access because a lot of people do plan their days [around] where the nearest bathroom is and when they are going to need to use it next, and that can kind of be a hassle.”

Lindsay explains that the goal is also “to educate people and let them know that this is what’s happening to the person, and although they don’t look sick on the outside, they really are sick and they probably do need to use the washroom.”

In addition to being a passionate advocate for those living with IBD, Lindsay chose a career path inspired by

her experiences as an ulcerative colitis patient. At the age of 10, she spent six weeks in hospital because of her disease, and underwent a permanent ileostomy, a surgical operation that involves bringing the end of the small intestine to the surface of the skin. As a result, all intestinal waste must be collected by an ostomy pouch.

“When you’re going through that process, you have an ostomy nurse that helps you,” Lindsay says. “She was just amazing. She came in on her day off to help meet the physical and emotional needs my family and I had, and she kind of inspired me to go through and be a nurse.”

Upon graduation, Lindsay plans on pursuing further studies in gastrointestinal and enterostomal nursing, and continuing to raise awareness of IBDrelated issues.

“My philosophy is, be patient with yourself, always try to be positive and always reach out for support because there’s tons out there that a lot of people aren’t aware of,” she says.

Music Lovers’ House Tour seeks to raise $23,000 in support of Kingston Symphony Association seum. Two new homes, one on Woodbine Road and the other on Shiloh Crescent, in the city’s west end are also among this year’s lineup.

As tour-goers make their way through each home, local musicians will perform individually or as part of a group. Among this year’s entertainment is Spencer Evans, Leah Gurr, the Canta Ayra Strings, Quinte Consort, Kingston Ceili Band and Limestone Trio. More than 100 musicians will lend their talents to the fundraiser.

“It’s very wide ranging, but it will be mostly, I’d say, light classical,” Westenberg said of the musical entertainment.

Tour Passbooks are available for $35 and also include a light lunch at one of three area churches: Chalmers United Church, 212 Barrie St., Our Lady of Lourdes, 490 Days Rd., and Edith Rankin United Church, 4080 Bath Rd. The hope is that the event will net between $23,000 and $24,000 for the Kingston Symphony Association.

“I’ll be very happy with $23,000,” Westenberg says.

As with the Volunteer Committee’s other projects—book fair, nearly new sales, vinyl record sales, and fashion show and luncheon—the money raised as a result of the Music Lovers’ House Tour will go directly to into the Kingston Symphony Association’s operating fund. Westenberg notes that this year the Volunteer Committee will contribute $80,000 to the association.

“It means really that we can pay our Kingston musicians a good wage…It also means that we can engage really great soloists for our concerts, singers and piano players and cellists, who have made a great name in Canada already,” Westenberg explains.

She further explains that funds, like those raised during the Music Lovers’ House Tour, help en-

sure the symphony has a place to rehearse. at Expressions Fashion Boutique, 2395 “For the first time this year, we have a Princess St., Kingston Frameworks, 198 long-term rental of one of the warehouses Princess St., or the Kingston Symphony on the Alcan property and that is quite Association, 11 Princess Street, Suite wonderful because we will have rehearsals 206. This year’s tour takes place May 25 there,” she said, adding that the Volunteer from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Committee will also utilize that space for its other projects.

EMC News – “We have some really, really nice houses this year,” Marion Westenberg says of this year’s Music Lovers’ House Tour.

Presented by the Volunteer Committee of the Kingston Symphony Association, this annual fundraiser will celebrate its 18th year May 25. Six hundred people will have the opportunity to enjoy a self-guided tour of eight distinctive homes as live music is performed by local artists, as well as a light lunch at one of three area churches.

“We always try to get three or four places in town, preferably in downtown…and then we either go east or west,” Westenberg says.

This year’s tour will feature homes in Kingston centre, north and west.

Westenberg, chair of the Music Lovers’ House Tour, is particularly excited that this year’s tour will feature a home on Main Street.

“It’s the first time that we have a house from the north end,” she says. “We’ve been searching for homes in the north end because there is such a wealth of beautiful brick and limestone houses there.”

A beautiful 1864 limestone building was at one point home to the Kingston Standard Church. It has recently been restored as a family home, and its interior, among other things, features the artwork of its owner.

“In two houses the female owner is an artist, and both of them will have their studios open with their work displayed and work in progress displayed, which is really quite fun,” Marion notes.

While the house on Mill Street once served as the home of a church, another stop on the tour features a church that has been converted into a family residence. A breezeway connects the 1857 limestone former church and its 1970’s hall, making for one large family abode.

“They have a loft, guest rooms, play room, music room—you name it we have it there,” Marion says.

Other homes among this year’s tour include a renovated 1950’s residence on Mack Street; a semi-detached house on Gore Street that was originally built as a single residence in 1842 and later converted in 1842; a beautiful limestone house on Collingwood Street; and Cedarhedge on King Street, the former warden’s residence of Kingston Penitentiary, now home to Canada’s Penitentiary Mu-

Inspiring local woman finds peace and happiness through adversity Five years ago, Reyers was forced to quit her job as a skin therapist and esthetician due to the increasing seEMC Lifestyle - Diana Reyers verity of her rheumatoid arthritis, an knows that no good can come from autoimmune disease that causes sestriving for “wonder woman” status. vere pain, stiffness and swelling of Over the last seven years, she has the joints.

I was really stuck, and I got into those low doldrums of feeling sorry for myself and kind of giving up a little bit.”

Every day, Reyers visited the Starbucks in Chapters, where Princecraft she would sit by Vectra 21 the fireplace and We service what we sell! chat with her fellow patrons.

Through these conversations, she began to realize that she was

R0012063970

not alone in her struggles.

“I found I was drawn to women in particular, and just their life situations,” Reyers explains. “And I realized that I wasn’t the only one out there facing adversity. [Others faced] not necessarily rheumatoid arthritis, but whatever it might be - chronic illness, pain, divorce, even menopause - all kinds of things. It made me realize that everybody has adversity and we need to find ways of [coping with it].”

From talking to these women, Reyers began to realize how damaging our society’s expectations of “perfection” and “normality” can be, especially to someone who is going through a difficult time. She began to organize group sessions, where acquaintances gathered to support one another and share their struggles in a truly honest manner.

Through these sessions, Reyers discovered a new career calling as a life coach.

“I realized that it wasn’t really about what I did but how I did it,” she says. “It was how I showed up in the world that made the difference for me. If I looked at life with optimism and grace and gratitude, all of those things allowed me to just open up and let things happen and come to me, and I want that for other people.”

Reyers advises her clients to focus on what makes them happy in life, in-

stead of the “shoulds” of society.

Society’s expectations, she says, can be very overwhelming or even impossible to live up to for those facing different kinds of adversity.

For example, Reyers notes that it’s not always easy for one living with a chronic illness such as rheumatoid arthritis to get the recommended one hour of physical activity per day – a fact that can become very frustrating if the person becomes hung up on being “perfect” in the eyes of society.

“That’s that expectation piece,” she says. “We go to that ‘should’ because we’re afraid of letting other people down, so we’re making other people happy and not ourselves...What we need to do is celebrate our uniqueness and do what’s right for us.”

Through all her soul-searching and subsequent work as a life coach, Reyers has come to view her rheumatoid arthritis – and indeed life in general - in a whole new light. She has found that by balancing her time, food, exercise and medication in a way that works for her unique needs, she has arrived at the place she needed to be all along: “[Before being diagnosed I was] going at the speed of light every day, working 60 hours a week,” she says.

“And I believe that’s what triggered my arthritis – just that constant pressure of doing, doing, doing. And so my arthritis changed that. Although I

thought I couldn’t do what I did before and I lost the control of being able to do what I wanted, in reality it was a gift because it moved me into doing what I needed to do and being how I needed to be, which was in balance.”

Sale Event

Domino hosts Theatre Ontario Festival, with special workshop from local playwright EMC Events - The best community theatre in Ontario is in town this week for the 2013 Theatre Ontario Festival, which takes place at the Domino Theatre May 15-18.

A total of four plays will be presented: Having Hope at Home from Theatre Night in Merrickville; Orphans from Windsor’s TIS Ensemble; Mending Fences from the Markham Little Theatre; and Looking from the Espanola Little Theatre. All shows were evaluated by professional adjudicators in their respective regions, and chosen to move on to the province-wide event.

Domino board member Mike Catlin notes that the company is thrilled to be hosting the festival.

“It’s a lot of work, but it’s exciting,” he says. “The Domino board was keen to host it because we haven’t hosted it since sometime in the ‘80s. That’s mainly because you need a big theatre, and our little theatre on King Street wasn’t big enough.”

Following each show, a short adjudication will be held for audience members.

“The adjudicator takes a couple minutes to get his stuff together, and then goes down on stage and talks for five or so minutes about the play that they’ve just seen,” Catlin says. “It will be interesting for people to see whether they agree with the adjudicator or not.”

A more detailed adjudication, also open to the public, will take place each following morning at 9:30 a.m.

This spring, the Domino entered its own play, Enchanted April, into the Eastern Ontario Drama Festival, but unfortunately it was not chosen to advance to the provincial level.

Kingston talent will be represented at the Theatre Ontario Festival, however, by playwright John Lazarus.

As the festival’s “playwright in person”, he will give a playwriting workshop Friday afternoon from 2 – 4 p.m. in the Ontario Room at the Days Inn for

members of visiting companies, as well as interested members of the public.

Lazarus explains that the workshop will include a reading from the play he is currently working on, called Sex with Feminists, a question and answer session, and some activities he finds to be helpful to the creative process.

“I have two games that I like to play with groups,” he says. One is about plot construction...and the other is about creating dialogue. I’m prepared to do either of those or both of them. The fact that there are those two themes reflects one of my main arguments about playwriting, which is that it’s a dual process...Here the two sides are represented as plot construction and improvising dialogue. I’m going to be talking a lot about that.”

He notes that anyone interested in theatre, or indeed the arts in general, will be able to get something out of the workshop, as the creative process has many similarities across the board.

“People who have experiences as actors and directors will recognize a lot of the things I’m saying about playwriting,” Lazarus says. “So I think what I’m doing is teaching the two sides of the creative process: throwing it out there and then pushing it around until it makes sense.”

He adds that “I may not turn out a whole lot of playwrights from this one little workshop, but we may wind up with a lot of actors and directors and designers and stage managers and crew people who have a clearer understand-

ing of what the playwright is doing and what the playwright needs from everybody else.”

Lazarus remarks that he has in the past adjudicated a number of these festivals, and found that everyone can learn a lot about theatre from attending the plays.

“Even coming in as an adjudicator, who is supposed to be the visiting professional and sort of ahead of the game, I’ve been humbled sometimes by these experiences,” he says. “I’ve discovered trends and ideas that I didn’t know existed.”

He notes that those who attend the festival are sure to come away with a greater sense of community, and knowledge of what’s happening on the community theatre scene in other parts of the province.

“It’s a great networking opportunity for people in community theatre,” La- Theatre Ontario Festival “playwright in person” John Lazarus. zarus adds.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, life might get stressful really soon unless you curb your spending. Although you may feel like you’re made of money right now, eventually the well will dry up.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Making changes is seldom easy, but change is necessary this week, Taurus. You may need to analyze which areas of your life can use the most work.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, kick back and have some fun in the next few days. Otherwise, you may waste an opportunity to recharge your batteries. Work responsibilities will not wait for long.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, expect some rejuvenated ambition and energy.

Spurred on by this newfound energy, you can successfully tackle many of the things on your to-do list.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, unless you can focus you will just be puttering around without a goal. Put your mind on one thing and stick with this line of thinking for a few days.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, once you set your mind to something, it can be difficult to alter your opinions or perceptions. You may need to be a bit more flexible with a loved one this week.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, if you want someone to take you seriously you have to make up your mind. Don’t flip-flop on your ideals this week or you may come across as a pushover.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, just when you think you have reached a dead end, a new path miraculously opens up. Don’t miss your opportunity because time is fleeting.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – If practice makes perfect, then you have just about reached perfection, Sagittarius. You have been over and over something from every angle. It is now or never.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, there are many things you will not be able to change about this week, so why focus on the negativity? Instead, work around any issues and get the job done anyway.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – You often seem immune to the seriousness of certain situations, Aquarius. This week is no different. Try to recognize the gravity of a certain situation and put your best foot forward.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Don’t think that your efforts have gone unnoticed, Pisces. A few key people have been keeping track of your accomplishments.

Ride for Dad announces research grant recipients and gears up for another year

EMC News - The KingstonQuinte chapter of the Motorcycle Ride for Dad is gearing up for another year, and this one is sure to be even more successful than the previous. On Wednesday, May 8, members of the organizing committee and volunteers for the ride gathered for the presentation of funds raised in last year’s ride to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF).

“We are so happy to have everyone here and be celebrating the Prostate Cancer Fight Foundation (PCFF). Over the past nine years, the foundation has donated more than $400,000 dollars to Kingston’s hospitals for cancer research,” said Denise Cumming, executive director of UKHF. This year is no different, with the PCFF donating an impressive $62,526 for research into the cause, cure or treatment of prostate cancer.

Emotions ran high throughout the presentation, especially with this year’s co-chairs, Trina Young and Rick MacFarlane.

“As many of you know, this is a one day event, essentially six hours on a Saturday where a bunch of motorcycle enthusiasts get together to spread the word about prostate cancer,” said Young. “Every year, we are blessed to have a committee of volunteers that make this six-hour event a success. This isn’t just a team, but a family. We are all personally touched by Prostate Cancer and that is why we are so passionate about this event. It

is our way of raising awareness with the hope that simply talking to your doctor and having a test will help save a life. This is our mission for Ride for Dad.” The Ride for Dad started in 2000 and was held in Ottawa in honour of Charlie Pester. The first ride included 80 riders and raised over $20,000. It soon became an annual event.

“Since its beginning, Ride for Dad has raised over $10 million for research, awareness and education, and because of this more men are talking to doctors and more men are becoming survivors,” explained MacFarlane.

The ride is now held in 30 cities across Canada and is in the works to be held in many more in the coming years.

Money from last year’s ride will go towards two local research projects. The first is led by Dr. Chandra Joshi, a medical physicist at the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario (CCSEO) at Kingston General Hospital (KGH) and will also involve researchers from the School of Computing at Queen’s University. Together, they will focus their research on better methods of delivering high-dose radiation to cancerous prostate tissue while minimizing radiation to other normal tissue. The second project will be led by Dr. William Mackillop, a radiation oncologist at the CCSEO at KHH and will focus on developing processes for measuring quality of care, setting quality of care standards and better quality assurance programs in order to improve the outcomes of men with prostate cancer in Canada.

This year’s Ride for Dad, on May

Volunteers, participants and organizers gathered to present the funds raised during last years Ride for Dad to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation.

Simple steps to a clean interior Much like curb appeal improving the chances of a sale on your home, having a car that is presented well inside and out may boost the amount of money and potential of a resale on your vehicle. Even vehicle owners who don’t anticipate selling their vehicles in the near future should maintain the vehicles to ensure they are safe and sound.

After home and work, a car is where many people spend most of their time. As a result, a vehicle can easily become soiled, scratched or overrun with clutter. Maintaining the interior of your vehicle need not take much time or effort, but it should be done often enough to keep on top of the mess.

Here’s how to start.

Remove Clutter The first step in cleaning the interior is to remove the excess items that may have accumulated in the car. Busy families tend to leave toys, books or clothing in their vehicles. There also may be discarded food wrappers or beverage containers. People who commute also may accumulate a number of items in their cars, including business

cal components. It is always better to spray polish or cleaning agents on your cloth than directly on the dashboard. In hard-to-reachareas, consider using a soft-bristled paintbrush or cotton swabs to clean in crevices.

Wipe down everything with a dry cloth or towel afterward.

Windows Having clean windows is essential to driving safely. Cleaning the windshield and windows is relatively simple to do with a glass cleaner spray and a lint-free cloth. Use caution when cleaning the rear windshield if it has a defogger/defroster grid on the window. These wires can be damaged easily. Clean with the direction

of the defroster grid lines.

Freshen the car Place an air freshener or spray a product on the air intake vent to eradicate musty smells in the car. It also is important to replace the cabin air filter periodically, otherwise you could be breathing in dust and dander that is trapped in the filter.

These are the basic steps to cleaning a car’s interior. Other detail work can be done depending on your preferences and the make of the car. Routine maintenance helps others see you have pride in your vehicle and can ensure a better return on your investment down the line if you choose to sell.

Tips to make buying a preowned vehicle less stressful Men and women purchase a preowned vehicle for a variety of reasons.

Preowned vehicles are often a better bargain than a brand new car right off the lot, and a preowned vehicle will likely cost less to insure, making it an even bigger bargain. In addition, many manufacturers and dealers have recognized the growing appeal of preowned vehicles and, as a result, offer warranties, something that was unheard of as recently as a decade ago.

But buying a preowned vehicle is still a nerve-wracking process for some consumers, who no doubt recall the horror stories of yesteryear when previously owned vehicles were sold as-is and the risk of buying a lemon was enough to scare consumers away.

That risk has dwindled considerably, but there are still some things prospective buyers can do to ensure the pro-

cess of buying a preowned vehicle is less stressful and more likely to be a success. * Research the vehicle you want to buy. The Internet has made it easier than ever before to conduct research regarding certain vehicles. In a relatively short period of time, consumers can learn about a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard features, safety records and warranty information, and may even find opinions about the vehicle online from past or current owners of the same model.

Owner opinions might be especially valuable, as owners might shed light on any mechanical issues you might not be able to glean from other sources. * Determine your price range. Settling on a price range is an important part of the process when buying a preowned vehicle. If you will be financing the vehicle, then you likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save

How-to pack a car safely people choose driving as opposed to flying, when comparing data from the Federal Highway Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, for every mile Americans flew they drove about six more in 2011.

With so many miles clocked on the road, it is essential to make the experience as safe as possible -- and that means properly securing belongings in a vehicle before getting on the road.

In 2009, a laptop computer became a projectile that killed its owner. Heather Storey of Surrey, British Columbia, was driving to work when her vehicle was hit by a tow truck. Her laptop was propelled at such a force that it caused a deadly injury to her head.

Unsecured or improperly packed items in a car or truck have the potential to cause serious injury when on the road or, at the very least, may obscure visibility when driving, says Consumer Reports. The organization and others offer drivers a series of tips that can help make travel safer. * Adjust tire pressure prior to travel. Consult the owners manual to determine the proper tire pressure when the vehicle is carrying a full load. This will not only help alleviate unnecessary wear and tear on the tires, but also can help to prevent a tire blow-out. * Know the car’s limits. It also is important to stay below the maximum permitted weight or maximum load capacity for the car or truck.

Consumer Reports says that the capacity for small SUVs can span from 825 pounds to 1,155 pounds.

Midsize SUVs ll a t s We In ines may carry anyg n E where from 900 Used issions! sm n a r pounds to 1,405 T & pounds. Minivan used auto Parts capacities can 90-Day vary significantly Parts & Labour as well. The load capacity is speciWarranty fied in the owner’s manual.

This is the prime season for road trips, which many people feel are the most affordable vacation option available. They also provide unsurpassed views of the countryside and the ability to slow down and customize the trip as desired.

Packing the car for a road trip can be complicated. Although the goal may be to cram as much as possible into the car and get on the road quickly, part of the safety plan for this year’s adventure should include packing properly to avoid injury.

Protect your garden from hungry animals Homes full of garden beds with blooming flowers and foliage can seem warm and inviting. Planting flowers is one of the easiest ways to transform the appearance of a home with minimal effort and expense. Too often homeowners plant annuals and perennials only to find their hard work has been damaged by hungry animals, like deer, rabbits and underground pests. There are ways to keep animals away from plants -- many of which are humane and environmentally safe.

Keeping furry marauders away from the garden is something individuals who live in rural or suburban areas have to consider when planting. Many communities are growing and encroaching on the natural habitats of wild animals. With some of their natural food sources diminishing, animals may decide to partake of the easy pickings that come from residential home gardens.

If you understand how these animals feed, you can take precautions to restrict access to planting beds. Rabbits tend to munch on vegetables and ornamental plants. Small in stature and not able to scale fences very easily, rabbits might be deterred by a low fence surrounding plants. Consider digging some chicken wire below the fence a few inches to discourage digging under the fence. The fence should be 18 inches high, and you should keep the openings no more than one inch because rabbits can squeeze through small openings.

In terms of gophers, moles, voles, and other

burrowing animals, the key is preventing underground access. Chicken wire or another abrasive material put under the garden soil can help keep underground animals from burrowing under and then up into the heart of the garden.

Deer are another story altogether. They are tall animals capable of rising up on hind legs to stretch out and reach branches of trees and bushes. Therefore, taller fences may be needed to protect the garden. But these can sometimes be unsightly, especially in a front yard.

Therefore, look for natural barriers that can keep them out. They may be deterred by thorny bushes or plants. Daisies, papaver (poppies), narcissus, rudbeckia, achillea, agastache, aster, lupine, coreopsis, verbascum, centaurea, and echinacea are available in many varieties and are not attractive to deer or rabbits.

Here are some additional strategies that you can try. * Create narrow pathways between raised beds. Rabbits will feel like they are in prime locations for predators to get at them in this type of situation and may be less likely to venture in. Deer may not be able to navigate narrow paths. * Use mulch. In addition to benefitting the plants, keeping soil moist and fertilizing the areas, mulch also deters many animals. * Interplant different species of plants. Some animals don’t want to bother picking tasty plants out among other varieties they don’t like. So mix plants with ones that animals find

unpleasant. * Use other natural deterrents. Animals may be kept away by scents of their predators. Urine from coyote, foxes, dogs, and cats may help.

You can also try human hair, cat litter and soap flakes. * Create an animal-friendly area elsewhere.

inches. * It is important to establish a watering schedule to keep the sod moist. Water the sod to a depth of one inch every other day for the first three weeks to enable the roots to securely establish themselves in the soil. * Water the sod every other day unless the weather has been very warm. After four weeks you can generally go up to five days without watering as long as you transition slowly.

The sod will change colors if it is not getting enough water. Never let the lawn turn yellow, otherwise you may have to cut out dead spots and re-sod. * Wait two to four weeks before mowing the sod. Keep the lawn height to around two inches to ensure that it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scald in the sun. * After two months of established sod growth, aerate the sod to keep the soil from being too compact and to enable oxygen and nutrients to get into the soil. * Keep children and pets off of the sod while it is establishing itself. * Fertilize the lawn every 50 to 60 days, beginning in March and ending in October. * Inspect the sod for pests, which may include insects or problems like fungi or weeds.

Treat accordingly with products designed to remove pests.

Using sod to establish a lush lawn is a fast, albeit more expensive option to sowing seeds.

After a few weeks the lawn will be thick and secure.

R0012035868

Sod, sometimes called turf, can quickly turn a barren landscape into a rich, thick carpet of green. Homeowners hoping to revive their lawns commonly turn to sod as the quickest means to do just that. However, once the sod has been laid down, few homeowners may know how to keep it looking its best.

Sod is real grass that is grown on special farms. It is generally grown locally to avoid long transport times that could dry out the product. Sod is typically sold in squares or rolls of grass that come with the roots and soil already attached. There may be some sort of thin backing material on the sod to keep the grass blades together.

Many homeowners turn to sod when growing lawn from seed becomes problematic or too time-consuming. Seeds can be blown around in the wind or be eaten by birds and other animals before they have a chance to germinate.

Sodding a lawn is a major investment, costing as much as $1 per two-foot square. Depending on the size of your lawn, this can be a costly job even before adding the cost of additional supplies, such as soil, fertilizer and tilling equipment. Many homeowners who install sod want to ensure their investment lasts. Here are the main ways to care for and protect sod until it is fully established. * Once the sod has been laid down, the lawn should be thoroughly soaked with water. Most experts recommend soaking it to a depth of 6

Ergonomic tools make gardening easier Hand injuries are a common side effect of certain occupations and hobbies. Tennis elbow or wrist and even carpal tunnel syndrome are well-recognized injuries. But ergonomic tools can help alleviate injuries due to repetitive motions.

The term ergonomics is derived from the Greek words “ergon,” which means work, and “nomoi,” which means natural laws.

In the simplest terms, ergonomics is the study of how work is done and how to make work better. It has led to an entire subset of ergonomicsincluding products that can make work better and are safer for the body. This is done by designing items that increase utility of the item, are more comfortable to use, and reduce injury through frequent use.

Ergonomic products are most readily

associated with items of the workplace, including ergonomic keyboards, computer mice, office chairs, and lighting. But many industries have reevaluated operations to include tools that are ergonomic in design.

Gardening is one area where ergonomics has become especially popular.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimates that the rate of hand injuries in the workplace is 25 hand injuries for every 10,000 fulltime employees.

However, hand, back and injuries of other areas of the body are also commonplace Garden Centre and Farm Market due to hobbies like gardening.

fencing is one of the most economical types of boundary fencing. The fencing comes in a variety of diamond sizes and is fixed to galvanized pipes spaced across the perimeter of the property. Although it is some of the least expensive fencing, it does not offer much privacy on its own. But if you are looking at fencing simply as a barrier, chainlink could be the way to go. * Picket fencing: A wooden picket fence is another inexpensive fencing material. The pickets can be purchased in various heights, and this fence may be used as garden border fencing or to mark a property line between homes. Spacing the pickets widely apart may cut down on the number that need to be purchased, further keeping the cost down. * Bamboo: Bamboo is a rapidly growing grass that produces a hard wood-like material that is used in many building applications.

Bamboo wood can be used to build a fence, but the natural plant also can be planted to form a living fence for privacy. * Stockade fencing: A stockade fence is one of the more basic wood fencing options.

Wooden slats are placed alongside one an-

Gardiners Rd.

Fencing serves many purposes. Some homeowners erect a fence for privacy, while others do so to contain pets and children. Because fencing can be expensive, some homeowners look for ways to cut costs, which can be relatively easy, especially for those homeowners willing to consider various materials when erecting their fence.

Traditional fences are available in materials ranging from wood to vinyl to metal.

Homeowners have other options at their disposal if they prefer a more natural fence. Different shrubs, trees or grasses can be planted to create a barrier between properties or within the property.

When choosing a fencing material, consider that even a less expensive material may prove more expensive in the long run if it needs significant maintenance or has to be replaced in just a few years. Therefore, the most cost-effective fencing material may not necessarily be the least expensive one at the store. Here are some materials homeowners can consider. * Found material: Repurposed wood or metal can be crafted into a rustic, one-of-akind fence. Materials can be found that are no cost, requiring only the cost of labor. Should you build it yourself, this can be next to nothing. Sometimes existing fences on another property can be disassembled and re-built on your own property for little to no cost as well. * Chainlink/ chainwire: Chainlink

Garden injuries are a major concern Gardening is often described as a relaxing and beneficial hobby regardless of a person’s age. While time outdoors in the garden can prove calming and enjoyable, there is a dark side to gardening as well. Namely the injuries that may result from various activities.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, emergency rooms in the United States treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related injuries each year. Additionally, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand has issued warnings that caution gardeners about hand-related injuries.

Doctors from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine have also warned that pruning, mowing and weeding can be dangerous -- even comparable to competitive sports. People don’t often associate a garden with danger, but this line of thinking can be dangerous in itself.

would not be too difficult for a pruner to snap through a finger bone. Injuries with these tools often occur when the gardener is distracted or the tool slips during use.

Pruners may also exacerbate conditions of carpal tunnel syndrome, usually caused by repetitive hand movements, such as typing or repetitious work. The ASSH says that prolonged, repetitive motions, such as weeding or pruning, can cause skin, tendon or nerve irritation. Rotate tasks every 15 minutes to give certain areas of the body a break.

Milkman delivers the goods from Limestone Organic Creamery Kate Kristiansen Kitchen Kreations ladydinesalot@gmail.com

EMC Lifestyle - Fresh milk delivered to your doorstep? It might sound like something you’d find in a 1950’s suburb, but today it’s exactly how Limestone Organic Creamery ensures you get your fix of the creamy goodness of their organic products.

Francis and Kathie Groenewegan have been dairy farmers all their lives. Today they own the only certified organic farm production facility in Ontario. They received a Rural Economic Development grant through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) enabling them to build and open Limestone Organic Creamery less than a year ago at 3127 Sydenham Rd. in Elginburg.

It’s a family owned and operated business with six part-time employees. While the entire family assists in a variety of roles, Kathie Groenewegan and her daughter, Olivia, manage the retail store and marketing.

“Mom has a keen eye for putting things together,” says Olivia.

Olivia’s brother, Patrick, is responsible for operations, product innovation, testing and sampling, while her father, Francis, assists with processing and bottling the milk.

The Limestone Organic Creamery is the only certified organic facility in Ontario and one of three on-farm processing facilities. The cows are milked twice a day; the truck delivers the milk to the farm processing facility where it’s pumped into the raw room, through the separator, pasteurizer and homogenizer. The milk is then bottled and recyclable colored coded caps are applied, which differentiate the choices of

milk - 2%, whole, cream, and during the holidays, eggnog.

Milk is sold at their farm store, with no food miles travelled, offering a true “farmto-gate” experience. It is also available by delivery or at independent grocery stores throughout Kingston.

Many other organic and local food items are also available, including Reinink organic eggs, a range of pasta from Pasta Tavola, ice-cream from Slickers, as well as Seed to Sausage products and a selection of sauces and relishes. Come fall, the Groenewegans plan to begin working on processing their own yogurt and buttermilk products.

The delivery service is a convenient way to provide customers with fresh products right at their front door. The vintage milk truck delivers each week on Thursdays and Fridays across Kingston and to many rural areas, as far as Joyceville to the east and Odessa to the west. If you are not home, the items are carefully left in a special Limestone Creamery leased “porch box”.

“The kids think it’s Christmas morning when John (Bertrand), the farm’s milkman, arrives,” jokes Olivia. “If he sees children in the window, he may even leave behind some cookies for them too.”

To enjoy the delivery service, simply sign up for an account online at limestonecreamery.ca and complete an order form.

How does buying organic milk compare to conventional milk? The milk at Limestone Organic Creamery is the only organic milk bottled here locally. You pay a $2 refundable deposit, otherwise the price is comparable to that of conventional milk, at .10 cents more a litre. Limestone Organic Creamery milk is bottled in their branded bottles, making it the only milk for sale at market assured of being local. All others come from an Ontario pool of milk and

may not necessarily be from the region.

What does it mean to be a certified organic farm? The farm is inspected and certified by Pro-Cert Organic Systems Inc. to ensure they adhere to a set of standards and guidelines. The Limestone Creamery does not use pesticides or herbicides. The milk contains no antibiotics, no hormones and no GMOs, as the cows are treated using homeopathy for any illness. The milk is processed the same as conventional milk.

“The difference is in the way our cows are treated and fed,” says Olivia. “Our cows graze outside in summer and are outside in the pasture throughout the seasons, weather permitting.

“We have had some customers who claim to be unable to drink milk,” continues Olivia. “They enjoy our un-homogenized milk products and find them easy to drink and digest.”

At the store, you are greeted with a warm smile from the staff standing behind the vintage countertop. Fresh scones, cookies, homemade ice cream, coffee and tea are available, along with their full product range. There are so many favorites, but I am not alone when I say the campfire ice cream is dreamy.

One bite and you will recall a summer campfire cracking in the distance with roasted marshmallows on the end of a stick. On May 10, they are kicking off Friday night extended hours till 9 p.m., so you can all enjoy escaping the city for mouthwatering homemade ice cream cones, along with milkshakes and sundaes, which are new this season.

In June, they will hold a Strawberry Social featuring strawberry sundaes, milkshakes, music and food.

For more information about Limestone Organic Creamery, or for a full list of grocery stores that stock their prod-

ucts, visit their website limestoneorganiccreamery.ca. To order, drop by the farm store located at 3127 Sydenham Rd. in Elginburg, or call 613-542-0732.

Store is open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and every Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Summer only: Open Friday nights until 9 p.m.

Our loving father died peacefully on April 30th, 2013 at Arbour Heights, Kingston. Floyd was born May 16, 1912 in Oconto, Ontario.

Predeceased by his beloved wife Anne (Burns) of Gabarus Lake, Cape Breton Floyd leaves his family and friends with many cherished memories. He will be deeply missed by his daughter Marilyn, sons Richard, Garry and Dennis and their families.

Floydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorable journey kept him fully engaged in life. In his youth he sailed the Great Lakes and Atlantic coast as a quartermaster for the Keystone Transportation Company. Later he joined Alcan where he retired after more than thirty-five years. During his employment with Alcan he was active with the Employees Mutual Benefit Society for twenty-one years of which he served eight years as President.

Floyd was a family man, humanitarian, artist, woodworker and storyteller. His painting especially was a joy to him. His favourite subjects were those depicting the lost era of steam trains as well as the steamships that once plied the Great Lakes. He was a member of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association of Kingston and the Kingston Marine Society and served as Captain of the historic steam launch Phoebe between 1979 and 1984. His interests also extended to story telling and for a number of years he was a regular contributor to the Kingston Whig Standardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Slice of Life column.

The family are thankful for the support and kindness of the Arbour Heights staff this past year and are especially grateful for the compassionate care given to Floyd in his final days. In keeping with Floydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes cremation will be followed by a private service. For those who wish, remembrances may be made to the Pumphouse Steam Museum or Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre.

Bringing out the best in others EMC Lifestyle - Wayne Hill, principal of Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic School, began his career with a last second decision.

“I was at Queen’s, standing in line for registration,” he said. “I was talking to a guy named Simon and he convinced me I should go into concurrent education.

So when they asked me which program I wanted, I said, ‘Concurrent education.’ I owe my career to a guy named Simon.”

That’s a new twist on the “Simon Says” game.

Wayne Hill was born in Sudbury and grew up in Ottawa. His family moved to Kingston and he attended Frontenac Secondary School starting in Grade 10.

He said he didn’t avoid all the pitfalls of adolescence but, for the most part, he and his friends kept their noses clean.

“I played hockey and had a great group of friends that I still connect with,” he said.

He notices a difference with today’s kids, but it’s not in their behavior.

“I look at kids now and the degree of stress they have to handle, and I don’t recall that in my experience at all,” he said. “University was available to almost everyone who graduated. There wasn’t an issue about admission, tuition costs or finding employment after.”

During his teacher training, his first placement was back at Frontenac High School, followed by Oshawa and Peterborough.

After graduation, he ended up in Fort McMurry, Alberta.

“There were no teaching jobs in Ontario at that time,” he said. “I found out the Wednesday before Labour Day weekend I had the job in Fort McMurray. There were 200 teachers in that board and for 80 of us, it was our first year teaching.”

It was a good lengths to help kids. move. He met his It’s such a demandfuture wife, Cathing job. You hear erine, there.

But he noted ers work so hard. Teachers go to great see their great accomplishments all the

time. It’s a wonderful place to work.”

He said there have been significant changes in the teaching profession.

“Teachers are no longer the fountain of knowledge,” he said. “Kids can access the knowledge on their own. Teaching is more about how to manage the information, sort it through and find the facts.”

He emphasized that he doesn’t accept negative comments he hears about young people.

“I read about undisciplined kids, but that’s not my experience at all,” he said.

“I’m not sure about the emphasis on high standards and how we place more and more pressure on kids to perform academically. The rate of mental health issues and depression are soaring. We can’t be afraid of some school in Finland or Japan doing better on a test. We have to look at the whole picture. Do we produce good family people, good workers, and a good society? This generation is so prepped, so generous and so committed to social justice. I feel very secure that the future is in the hands of kids who have gone to my school.”

As we walked along the halls of Regi, students wave to him and call out his name. He takes time to chat with them.

I questioned him about his school drama program and the fact that they’re losing some highly talented actors to graduation in June. He smiled and said he’s not worried.

“We have some very talented teachers,” he said, commenting on Hugh Johnston (music) and Steve Powell (drama). “They find talent and bring it out.

They find all the things that make a kid special. They bring out the unique gifts.

They do it every year. They’ll do it again next year. It’s such a blessing to work with the kind of people that I do.”

Reach for the Stars and Follow Your Dreams

EMC Sports - The Trillium Gymnastics Club welcomed family and friends to Reach for the Stars and Follow Your Dreams at the Trillium Blooms Gala last Wednesday and Thursday. The event featured routines from students in the Tumblebug to provincial level, performed at the facility on Steve Fonyo Drive. Above: Vicki Stilwell, Danielle Adam, Amanda Black, Katrina Hamburger and Hannah Stilwell make a presentation thanking the Trillium Foundation, represented

Local district officer awarded prestigious OSSTF award for commitment to the status women in the workplace hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC News - A local union leader has been recognized at the provincial level for her commitment to the advancement of women in the workplace.

Teresa Marrello, district officer for the

Limestone District of the Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation, was recently awarded the prestigious Liz Barkley Status of Women Award, formerly known as simply the Status of Women Award. The new name was used for the first time this year; it honours long-time strong union leader and feminist Liz Barkley, who recently passed away. The award is given annually to recognize activism and leadership by an OS-

STF member in promoting and building awareness of women’s economic and equality issues.

“I found out only a few days before [I received it] and it was totally a surprise,” Marrello says. “I felt really honoured because there are a lot of really strong women activists in our federation that have received.”

Marrello has been a passionate advocate for women both within the OSSTF and the community at large.

In 2006, she was instrumental in resurrecting her district’s Status of Women

Committee.

“When I became the district officer, we had had a strong committee in the past and it kind of waned away,” she says. “I think sometimes people think maybe the battles have already been fought and we have done what we need to do and don’t need to focus on women’s issues. But I think we still do.”

Over the years, the committee has been active in organizing educational forums on women’s issues and promoting women’s equality rights locally, nationally and internationally. Marrello has

also used social media to promote equality and social justice causes, and organized fundraisers such as a coffeehouse, a wine-tasting evening and a movie night in support of non-profit organizations that serve women in the community. She has also organized student poster campaigns for the December 6 National Day of Remembrance, and helped promote Take Back the Night Walks in Kingston.

“We were small [to start], but we did a lot of activities and we’ve continued to do that,” she says. “[The committee has] grown a little bit but we would like it to grow more.”

Currently, the Status of Women Committee is also working on trying to remove the barriers that exist which prevent women from participating in union activities.

“Women, of course, often have childcare duties,” she says. “And a lot of provincial activities and workshop and things are on the weekend.

That’s a barrier to women.”

On a more general level, continuing to advocate for women in the workplace who face many of these same issues is also a priority.

“Our generation now is called the sandwich generation, where we’ve got childcare duties and now we have aging parents,” Marrello notes.

“There’s that work/ life balance that women struggle with in the workplace.”

Marrello expanded her work on equality issues even further by establishing a Gay/ Straight Member Alliance for her district in 2011, which became an instant success among her fellow union members.

“We’re a union, and unions typically have advanced the cause of women in general,” Marrello says. “And so I think it’s really important for us to raise awareness on all issues in regards to the advancement of women in the workplace and even issues like childcare, all that sort of thing.

Unions really do lobby governments and try to make changes in that regard. It’s just what we do.”
