By Craig BakayReporter

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Treasurer Michael McGovern wants to do a little investing, and as such presented a draft investment policy to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

However, Council, led primarily by Coun. John Purdon, seemed skeptical at the outset, deferring any decisions until McGovern can come back with a revamped policy bylaw.

“Right now, we do not have an investment policy and we do not invest anything other than a bank account,” McGovern said. “I’m just looking to make a little more than we’re currently making with a bank account in order to reduce costs for taxpayers.”

In his report, McGovern pointed out that municipal investing is allowed under the Municipal Act but it is highly regulated.

“Local government investment pools are not a new idea, with many having been established in jurisdictions across Canada and the United States,” he said. “They have proven to be highly successful and popular investment and cash management tools for municipalities.

“Participation in such pools, is, in fact, recognized as a recommended practice for achieving portfolio diversification and liquidity by the Government Finance Officers Association of the Untied States and Canada.”

Purdon, though, wasn’t jumping on the bandwagon.

“I notice that one option is GICs (guaranteed investment certificates) and that’s fine,” he said. “But there are also money market and equity funds.

“How much speculation are we involved in?”“I’m conservative by nature,” McGovern

responded. “I would never put my money or the Township’s at much risk but nothing’s absolutely guaranteed.

“I’m just looking to make something more than what we’re currently making with just the bank account.”

Purdon responded: “2008 might repeat itself and we could end up losing half the principle.”

“It’s certainly not my intention to go into equity funds at this moment,” said McGovern.

“We’re looking at investing federal gas tax funds and we already spend that,” said Purdon.

“This bylaw gives us flexibility,” said McGovern.

“If we accept this report, then we’ll have to deal with the bylaw today and I’m not prepared to do that,” said Purdon. “Our treasurer indicated we could have someone from the investment firm come and make a presentation to Council and I move we defer this until then.”

McGovern said he’s been looking at The ONE Investment Program which has been providing services to almost 100 organizations since 1995.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, July 3, 2014 3


Gazette News — Once again, in keeping with June being Seniors Month, Central Frontenac Township honoured its seniors with its annual Seniors of the Year awards at Oso Hall last week and for one recipient, the event was something of a family tradition.

District 2 (Olden) recipient Nancy Thompson followed in the footsteps of her mother Bertha

MacDonald and aunt, Ada MacDonald, both of whom have been Seniors of the Year.

Like much of the MacDonald clan, Thompson has been a life-long resident of Mountain Grove, save for a brief stint in Toronto. She has been an active member of first the Anglican, and then United Churches, including the UCW, helping out at numerous fundraisers.

“But she preferred behind-the-scenes work,” said Coun. John Purdon. “She’s usually in the

kitchen for fundraising suppers and funeral luncheons.”

Thompson is a mother of three, grandmother of 11 and great-grandmother to one.

District 1 (Kennebec) recipient Tom Hughes was born in his parents’ home on Clark Road. A long-time section man for CP Rail in Arden, he also delivered bread.

He and his wife, June, have one daughter and four grandchildren. They lived in Toronto for awhile but retired to the family farm where he cut wood.

A church steward, Hughes is also a member of the Masonic Lodge and Arden Glee Club.

“He is also well known for sleeping on his watch during deer hunting and sitting in the bush during euchre games,” said Coun. Tom Dewey.

District 3 (Oso) recipient Alex MacLeod wasn’t born here, but he rented cottages in the area for a long time, finally buying one to retire to 20 years ago after 39 years at Bell Canada.

He was a founding member of the Sharbot Lake Property Owners Association, instrumental in the fight against the gypsy moth, parade organizer, food bank and Anglican church volunteer and member of the Health Centre Advisory Board.

“At the first meeting, you feel like you’ve known him forever,” said Dep. Mayor Frances Smith.

District 4 (Hinchinbrooke) chose a pair of recipients this year, Dave and Dawn Hansen.

“It would have been difficult to honour one without the other, they are a team,” said Coun. Heather Fox. “They were high school sweethearts and have been part of the community forever.”

Dawn was a teacher and is active in the North Frontenac Little Theatre. Dave was owner of Parham Ambulance and is well known to hunters as a firearms safety instructor.

Together, they are both active in the Lions Club, including at the district level, the Parham Fair, Anglican Church groups and the Relay For Life.

“Dave used to plow the sidewalks all the time and was never paid for it,” said Fox.

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Township’s Septic Re-inspection Committee gave a report to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake and the recommendation is for a mandatory inspection program with a corresponding bylaw to be presented to the new Council following municipal elections this fall.

Currently, the Township has been undergoing a voluntary inspection program with priority being given to lakefront and hamlet properties.

The Committee, struck in February of this year, proposes a mandatory inspection of all septic systems in the Township, which it estimates at 4,000.

“The program will be priority-driven,” the Committee said in its report. “The category, age, location and adequacy of information for the type (all systems including greywater and privies) and volume of use will eventually determine the frequency of inspections.

“The program will initially focus upon two important variables: age of the system and adequacy of information.”

The report also acknowledges a lack of data.

“The Public Health Unit has good data for systems installed in the past 15 years,” said committee member John DuChene. “But the data deteriorates for the period before that.

“So finding out what’s out there is a big first step.”

The committee has estimated an average $140 cost for the inspections and is looking at several costing models that could include costs being borne by property owners, and/or a portion being paid

by the municipality. (Currently the Township and Frontenac County have allocated $10,000 per year to the voluntary program.) The Committee estimates this to be a 10-year program, with about 400 inspections being done per year.

If problems are found, pump-outs and/or major repairs would be the responsibility of the property owner, the report said.

The report, which was received for information with no direction from Council, was met with mixed reviews.

“Is anybody else feeling uncomfortable with what’s being presented here?” said Coun. Norm Guntensperger. “I’m being made to feel as if Council has already made the decision and we’re talking about people potentially losing their homes with Big Brother’s hands in their pockets.

“I do not think there should be any role of Council other than to defend vulnerable people and not put people out of their homes.”

“Septic systems are a health issue,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski. “If there are septic problems, the Health Unit has the authority to condemn the house.

“Sometimes people need a push from a government agency to get a pump out.”

Coun. Tom Dewey and Dep. Mayor Frances Smith suggested those already employed in the septic pump-out business might be the best people to be trained in inspection.

“If there’s something wrong with your system, they’re quick to tell you,” Smith said.

Duchene said that to date, they are not aware of any existing environmental problems due to septic systems.

“We’re not being reactive,” he said.

Septic committee advocates mandatory inspection program

One day while working with a lady

recovering from a stroke, Audrey Brown mused that she wished she could better understand what the woman had been through. A few weeks later, Audrey found out.

In September, Audrey, who is a speech language pathologist at Providence Care’s St. Mary’s of the Lake site, began demonstrating signs of stroke. While a patient she was working with urged her to get help, Audrey didn’t think anything was seriously wrong. Thankfully the phone rang and an alert colleague noticed that something wasn’t right with Audrey. An emergency code was called and she was soon loaded in an ambulance and on her way up King Street to Kingston General Hospital.

There is a narrow window of opportunity after the early warning signs of a stroke, when a person can receive treatment to prevent long-term damage to the brain.

Audrey had dedicated her career to educating others about the signs of stroke – but found herself in a state of denial when it was happening to her.

Audrey’s training and familiarity with the acute stroke program at KGH (one of the best performers in Canada) prepared her for what would happen, but she found her own experience was surreal. She arrived at KGH so quickly that her CT scan didn’t reveal any damage, so her care team could not administer the time-sensitive clot-busting drug. Audrey’s physician needed an MRI image of her brain to see if she was a candidate for the special drug.

But the MRI was busy – and the wait was on. By the time she was able to receive the scan and the results were available, it was too close to the

three-hour window of opportunity for the drug to be given safely. The risks simply outweighed the benefits.

Thankfully, Audrey was still able to have a full recovery. “Because of quick and skilled response of my colleagues at Providence Care and KGH, I never doubted the capable hands on whom my health and well-being depended,” she says. “Knowing the warning signs of a stroke is only half the battle. Even a seasoned medical professional can miss the obvious warning signs.”

Her experience has made her even more passionate about stroke education. “In a way, I am thankful that it happened. I have a very different view of my patients.” You can hear Audrey’s story at http://give.uhkf.ca/Audrey.

When seconds count

Audrey Brown has a new tool in her stroke education tool kit: an MRI image of her brain.

!Our neighbour and a friend at work just changed their furnace and got an A/C unit installed through an outfit called Access HVAC. W

e both heard that name before. My husband and I decided that it was time...time for a NEW

Heating System and if the price is right, let’s get an A/C unit in our home as well. W

e called Access HVAC. Boy! Did we get a deal; not only did we get an efficient Furnace, we also arranged to get the A/C unit at half price and they offered us a choice of a W

iFI Thermostat,

Humidifier or a Media Air Filter for FREE.

YES, WE SAID FREE. Just the **W

iFi Thermostat is worth $399. Imagine, we now can actually monitor our system using our cell phone; even when we are down south during the winter or from the cottage. No monitoring fee. Furthermore, we even qualified for another $650 “OPA” rebate program and the manufacturer’s rebate up to $1,350. That’s another savings of $2,000 as well as up to $1,650 for the A/C Unit. The system is AMAZING.

Your neighbour may have already dealt with Access HVAC; like John B., Alice & Don K., Fred P., in the Kingston Area, & many more...from Peterborough & Kaladar to Prince Edward County & from Cobourg to Kingston.

Gazette News – For Renay Newhook, finding treats that her 15 year-old recue dog Kasey could enjoy was difficult.

“She had no teeth when I adopted her and she had a very sensitive digestive system so it was extremely hard to find commercial treats that she could eat,” explained Newhook. “I decided to try making treats for her myself.”

Initially, Newhook looked up recipes online, but as she became more familiar with what makes a good dog treat she created her own recipes too and after some success she decided to start selling them.

“I figured there were other dogs out there that were picky too and I wanted to make healthy dog treats for them,” added Newhook. “I grow my own vegetables for the treats and I include ingredients like pumpkins, apples and carrots. Everything is really healthy and natural.”

Newhook took her treats to the Frontenac Farmers Market three years ago and she has been a member of the popular market ever since. She also sells her treat at the Memorial Centre Market in Kingston and at various shops throughout South Frontenac. She has had great success thus far and although Kasey died in 2011 she is still dedicated to making healthy dog treats for dogs just like her.

“I adopted her when she was 15

so I was happy to be able to give her an enjoyable last three years and I was happy I could make treats for her that she enjoyed. “

So what makes a good dog treat? Newhook explains that there are a number of factors.

“Crunch is really important and so is smell. Dogs don’t actually have taste buds so they eat what smells good. Peanut Butter is definitely the most popular because the smell is so strong, but carrot and apple is a close second.”

Newhook tries out the recipes on her other dogs now and she admits that she sometimes samples the treats too.

“They smell so good when they come out of the oven, but as soon as I bite into them I realize what I’ve done,” said Newhook. “It’s a dog treat so there is no sugar or butter, it doesn’t taste nearly as good as it smells.”

While baking the treats is always fun, Newhook finds herself enjoying the gardening aspect the most. She enjoys planting her own carrots and pumpkins, and harvesting her own apples. She even has helpers sometimes.

“It’s funny because one of my dogs didn’t know what an apple was and wouldn’t eat it. Once I showed her what they are she loves them, but now she finds apples that have fallen off the trees and takes off with them so I have to watch her.”

Newhook has a stall at the Frontenac Farmers’ market on

Fridays in their Harrowsmith location from 3 to 7 p.m and at their new Prince Charles Public School location in Verona on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. She loves

hearing about dogs enjoying her treats and adds that sometimes it is hard to keep up with demand.

“I think the new location here is helping too,” added Newhook. “We

are much more visible and that’s great for business.”

Gazette News — The Kids of Steel Triathlon will be back in Sharbot Lake July 27 but it was touch and go for awhile as Central Frontenac Council debated the road closure issue at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

The Sharbot Lake event was resurrected last year after some successful runs in the ’80s and ’90s. The lake, trails and roadway of the hamlet make it ideal for a triathlon, said organizer Greg Kealey of the Ottawa Triathlon Club. And although enthusiastic about how well-received last year’s event was (150 participants), he did acknowledge they had made a few errors.

He thought he’d corrected those. “We thought we were talking

to the right people for permissions last year (Frontenac County),” he said. “Now we realize that it’s the Township we should be talking to and we’ve received a list of things from your office that we need to do and failed to do last year.”

One of those things is the intermittent closure of Road 38 on Sunday morning during the cycling portion of the event (five heats).

Kealey said he’d contacted the OPP to close the road and as far as he knew, last year’s event went off without a hitch.

However, Mayor Janet Gutowski saw it differently.

“I remember last year somewhat

differently from you,” she said. “I got a call from the (Maples) restaurant around 10 a.m. and I hadn’t heard about the event before that.

“I called the OPP and they were able to respond.”

Gutowski said she’d heard “a number of complaints” but also “had a number of positive comments.”

Council debated the road closure and wanted to look into alternate routes and bring the issue back to the July 8 Council meeting.

Kealey said he would be happy to look at alternatives but for this year, he had to know now because if the event were cancelled on July 8, it wouldn’t leave enough time to arrange an alternate site for the event, which is part of a provincial series used to determine rankings and eligibility for other events. Also, because of the triathlon rules, road bikes are required, making trails an unlikely option.

Council reaction was mixed, but generally favourable.

“To me, closing the road is not that big an issue,” said Coun. Phil Smith. “If they can’t find an alternate route, close the road.”

“I think this is a wonderful thing,” said Coun. Norm Guntensperger. “Our kids need things like this to get them active in the outdoors.”

In the end, even Gutowski acquiesced.

“We are not particularly happy about the road closure, but we are pleased to be hosting the event,” she said.

In Our Opinion

World Cup FeverGazette Review - Just like the Olympics, the FIFA World Cup has a

way of entering and taking over our lives. In North America, soccer or football isn’t really something that is very popular, but with the arrival of the World Cup suddenly everyone is a fan.

In many ways this is a good thing. The World Cup, like the Olym-pics, brings together athletes from around the world to compete at a massive event. People cheer for teams for different reasons, some for the team that they think is the best athletically, some for the team that aligns with their cultural and familial background and some just watch because it is everywhere. In fact, the World Cup is the most watched worldwide sporting event, even beating the Olympics.

So when did it all begin? The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup dates back to 1930. FIFA had tried to start up tournaments for many years after their founding in 1904 but organizing was a bit of a challenge and FIFA was uncertain about the amount of public interest.

After gaining some momentum with football in the Summer Olym-pics, FIFA felt it was time for the World Cup. The inaugural World Cup was held in Uruguay and all games were played in the capital, Montevideo.

Like many worldwide sporting events today, a stadium was built specifically for the tournament and it was deemed a great success. Co-incidentally, Uruguay was also the first country to win the FIFA World Cup and they would go on to win it again in 1950.

Sadly, as Canadians we have no team to cheer for in the World Cup as Canada did not make the top 32 to qualify and compete, but that doesn’t stop us from cheering for a team. If anything, the World Cup shows just how diverse Canada is and the many cultures that exist throughout our nation.

So get out there and jump on a bandwagon. Cheer for a team that represents your ancestors or cheer for a team that looks like it has a decent shot at winning. Whatever you decide, do your best to enjoy the fun of the World Cup while it lasts.

147 years and counting, and we still don’t know what being a Canadian is

Gazette Column — As you read this, Canada Day will have come and gone for 2014. For the most part, it’s long been one of my favorite holidays (and no, not just because you can usually find a paying gig that day), especially here in Sharbot Lake where the beach and local nutsiness have made for a lot of enjoyable celebrations over the years.

Canada Day seems to be one of the few times we can set aside petty differences and just enjoy each other’s company. In short, it’s usually a feel-good day and we have far too few of those.

But it’s also a day to reflect on what it means to be a Canadian.

So far, there hasn’t been all that much to set us apart from the rest of the world in 147 years other than most of us can get excited about hockey and we’re generally pretty polite.

Oh, there is one thing that seems

to unite all of us — “we’re not Americans!”

We generally don’t dislike Americans, especially those of us who sell the odd trinket or such to the big American markets. But, we aren’t Americans and have no desire to be.

We can’t really pin down what it is that makes us so different from Americans, just that we aren’t them and that seems to be enough for most of us.

We have our faults, to be sure, but we like to think we’re working on them at least.

One thing we really should work harder on is setting things right with our First Nations citizens. Honouring existing treaties might be a good place to start with that.

Another thing we might start doing is letting go of the past. Other than the aforementioned aboriginal communities, we all have immigrant blood in us, and usually not back that far. Both of my parents were born in Europe (Mom in Scotland and Pop in Ukraine) and held on to many beliefs and prejudices that, given both were essentially toddlers when they left their birthlands, they couldn’t possibly have much first-hand

experience with. For example, my paternal grandfather

joined the German Army in the First World War, specifically so he would get to “kill Russians.” My father continued to dislike all things Russian but then maybe having to give up all your lands and move away at gunpoint tends to sour a person’s outlook.

My father did think of himself as a ‘Ukrainian Canadian’ I think, and there’s no doubt my mother’s heart was covered in tartans.

But me, I’m a lot more interested in Algonquin culture than my Cossack or Highland heritage. Frankly, I don’t like haggis (although I’ve never turned down a perogi nor the opportunity to point out the ‘correct’ term is per-oh-heh).

Still, I don’t really know what being a Canadian is any more than the rest of us do.

But at the end of the day, I can’t see myself living anywhere else, nor do I have any desire to go looking for somewhere else.

We have our faults, but generally we Canadians are pretty decent people.

And that’s good enough for most of us.

Gazette Editorial — I promised myself I wouldn’t write a column about how my birthday has become one of my least favourite days of the year. Instead, I will you tell you why this year it’s going to be different – maybe even somewhat enjoyable.

A few days after this column goes to print, I will turn 31. It’s kind of a boring number to turn but then again I’m kind of a boring person. I spent most of my 30th birthday feeling anxious that I wasn’t doing enough to mark the occasion. Turning 30

is a milestone and you’re supposed to make a big deal out of it. Going out for dinner with Steve and Summer was nice and all but wasn’t a large group of adoring friends supposed throw me a big party and buy me champagne and tequila shots?

Speaking honestly, though, I kind of loved our quiet little dinner. Being the centre of attention excites me in theory, but in reality it makes me nervous and self-conscious. Plus, I only have about six or seven close friends in my life that I would feel comfortable inviting to a party in my honour. Hardly a large group. So yeah, 31? Gloriously unremarkable. Much more my style than 30.

I also really don’t mind getting older. Inevitably, my mom will read this column and point out that this is easy for me to say now – wait until I turn 40 and my

metabolism plummets, my skin starts to sag and mysterious aches and pains plague me on a daily basis. That may be true but for now, I’m enjoying my 30s. I kind of failed miserably at being a 20-something from my generation. I was never into the club scene or the rave scene or the live-in-a-big-house-with-eight-different-roommates scene. I’ve never been “single.” I’ve been in the same relationship since I was a teenager and Steve and I have lived together since we were 20. It’s blissfully uncomplicated and that’s how I like it.

There is a wonderful saying that goes “comparison is the thief of joy” and I think that is the perfect way of describing my dilemma. Thanks largely to Facebook, I see how my friends and acquaintances spend their birthdays and I

am envious, even if what they’re doing is not necessarily what I want for myself. I see the surprise parties and the road trips and the flashy girls’ nights out. It all looks like so much fun and part of me yearns to do something similar. Plus, there are people on my Facebook who get over 100 wall birthday wishes and I’m lucky if I get 30. In fact, that’s exactly the number I received last year because I remember commenting on how perfect it was that I got 30 wall wishes on my 30th birthday.

All the same, my life feels very full and I ponder the logistics of having such a large circle of “friends.” How could there possibly be 70+ more people in my life who felt close enough to me to wish me happy birthday on Facebook? When would we ever hang out? Between my day job and mommying, I don’t even have

enough time to see my current friends as much as I’d like to.

So my birthday mission this year is, first and foremost, to take a break from Facebook for about a week prior and get out of the habit comparing my life to others’. On the day itself, I’ll make Steve get up with Summer at her usual wakeup time of 5:30 so I can (hopefully) sleep in until 7. I’ll do my best to schedule something at work that I will truly enjoy – who knows, maybe my water sport series will make a comeback in our July 17 edition. I’ll have a cupcake for lunch and not beat myself up over it. I’ll buy myself some pretty flowers and a bottle of champagne and have a perfect pool-side dinner at home with my lovely little family. With this kind of start, how can 31 be anything other than my best year yet?

Gazette Review - Many Kingstonians remember well the happenings of August, 2010, when a large group of protesters staged a blockade in front of the Frontenac Institution in an attempt to prevent the removal of cattle from the prison farm, a program that was shut down because it was deemed no longer useful by the Harper government. A total of 24 people were arrested including professors, farmers and great-grandmothers.

Til the Cows Come Home, a new film by Lenny Epstein and co-produced by Clarke Mackey, Elaine Foreman and Jamie Swift, explores why so many people are so passionate about this issue, and what the shuttering of the prison farm program says about our society and the direction in which it’s headed under the current government.

The thing that always struck me about the 2010 protests was the almost comical unlikeliness of those arrested. I was not living in Kingston that summer and when I returned in the fall CKWS was continually running footage of my buddy Jamie getting hauled off to a paddy wagon. “What on earth happened?” I thought.

Indeed, the fact that mainstream, everyday Kingstonians were willing to put themselves on the line for the prison farms is a big part of the film. There is some pretty adorable footage of a civil disobedience “lesson” in City Park, where teachers, children and kind-looking nuns with white hair are learning proper protocol for being arrested. These aren’t exactly masked anarchists throwing rocks at the windows of banks. So what exactly was their motivation?

Well, let’s start with the fact that the purported reason for the prison farm program being shut down was that it was losing $4 million a year, a figure that the government chose never to back up with evidence despite repeated information request submissions. “We asked for the finances and were told they were under legal advice not to release the figures,” says NFU Local 316 president

Dianne Dowling in the film. Later on, a motion for a third party review of the finances even passed in parliament, but was quietly dismissed by the Harper government.

You could say people had a right to be skeptical of the figures, too, considering the Frontenac Institution farm alone contained 120 head of cattle and between 8,000 and 9,000 chickens, which provided milk and eggs for all other area prisons. How could paying full price for these products be a good financial decision for Corrections Canada?

Not to mention the effect that working with the animals had on the inmates. In a very moving interview, inmate Pat Kincaid describes how he had been in and out of prison his entire life after what sounds like a rather rough childhood. Working with the cattle on the prison farm gave him hope. He describes how one day, he found himself alone in the barn when a cow was giving birth. After he helped birth the calf, he realized it wasn’t breathing. Thankfully, he had training on what to do in this situation and was able to save the calf. “It was the best moment of my life,” says a tearful Kincaid.

So what exactly is the role of a prison? In the film, Epstein visits a prison in Norway where the recidivism (re-offending) rate of inmates is 16 per cent, compared to 50 per cent in Canada. The idea there is to assist inmates in developing empathy through programs similar to prison farms. Only by teaching them to respect themselves in a new way can they learn to respect others.

Contrast that with a local news conference in which Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews avoided a question from the media about the effect closing the prison farms will have on the rehabilitation potential of inmates by saying that the number one priority of this government it to keep Canada’s streets safe.

The audience is thus confronted with the question of what’s safer: a society with a recidivism rate of 16 per cent or 50 per cent?

For the time being, a laundry facility has been installed at the Frontenac

Institution where the farm once was. In many cases, this means that all the inmates are required to do is push a few buttons and fold linens; this all seems rather ironic considering the film shows how the original purpose of the prison farm was to force the inmates to do hard labour as punishment.

So what is it that the Conservative government dislikes so much about the prison farm program? That question remains unanswered.

One thing is for certain, though: those who believe in this program are not giving up. A co-op was formed to purchase a number of the cows removed from the prison farm, and they are being raised on several local farms in the hopes that a new government will be elected in 2015. Both the Liberals and the NDP have pledged to reinstate the prison farm program if they come to power.

“The future of food, the future of justice and the future of democracy converge on this issue of the prison farms so profoundly,” says Andrew McCann, one of the arrestees. Til the Cows Come Home does an excellent job of fleshing out all of these very important angles and explaining things that those not following the issue closely might have been unclear about. It’s not every day that a city the size of Kingston sees such a professionally done documentary about an issue so close to the hearts of so many local citizens.

Kingstonians were given a sneak peek of the movie on June 23; both showings at the Screening Room sold out quickly. You can catch it again on Sunday, July 6 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., also at the Screening Room.

EMC news- Newly elected MPP for Kingston and the Islands Sophie Kiwala and Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle, both licensed divers, declared their willingness to assist the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) in their search for a second pipe missing thus far from the county Howe Islander ferry’s troubled ‘bubbler system.’

MPP Kiwala attended a public meeting on Howe Island to discuss the issues that arose due to the island’s bubbler system failure during the last winter, and to hear what progress has been made to solve those problems and make repairs before next winter.

The bubbler system did not work properly during the severe winter causing ferry delays, long line ups, ferry shut downs and frustrated residents; all of which placed a heavy load on the foot ferry at the east end of the island. Prior to the present examination and repairing of this year’s problems, the bubbler system had not been inspected for more than ten years.

It should be noted that MTO is restricted to repairing the present layout of the bubbler system including the existence of a possible second line. Any work beyond that, such as expansion would require an environmental assessment, consultation and approvals and could not be completed before winter 2014.

Mayor Doyle welcomed MPP Kiwala and her partner Chris Van Der Vyer to a full house of islanders, & introduced Frontenac County CAO Kelly Pender; Frontenac Islands CAO

Darlene Plumley; Director of Emergency and Transportation Services Paul Charbonneau and Gale Chevalier, Deputy Chief . Also in attendance Deputy Mayor David Jones and HI Councillor Natalie Nossal.

Mayor Doyle also announced that (for a second time) no MTO representative was in attendance to present the ministry’s findings, leaving it to Director Paul Charbonneau to present the update. According to the MTO report staff reviewed the system ( pipes, compressors, air lines, valves, etc.) Video footage and a diver investigation of the system happened in May 27th indicating a number of problems. Condition of the island side pipes is poor, less so on the mainland. The areas around the docks will be the focus of pipe replacement. In the short term (2014) the focus will be on maintaining and supplementing the existing system . Divers replaced supply pipe sections to the downstream grid. Next steps will determine pipe pattern and placement around docks. A third dive to focus on dock pipes is anticipated. Any planning for replacement or expansion would start later in 2014.

Charbonneau noted that as of April this year Frontenac County (not MTO) is responsible for the operation of the bubbler system. “We are preparing procedures covering the turning off and on of the system; ice clearing voyages , he said. MTO is responsible for all maintenance and upkeep costs of the ferry.

It was a quiet audience , few questions mostly based on why did it take so long to get to it, what are the costs involved, need for regular systematic public updates; why an extra layer of bureaucracy between the

township , the county and MTO; a need for dock repairs, and a reference to the HIRA survey.

Deputy Mayor Jones confirmed that a resolution was passed to replace the foot ferry. Considerable reserve funds have been aside and CAO Plumley has begun the process required to move forward.

Before Mayor Doyle closed the meeting, he thanked Ms Kiwala for coming. She in turn said,

It has been great to be here and to hear what you have to say. It is early days for me and I am learning as I go. I know the Mayor has a diving licence as do I. We have made a commitment to go down there if we have to. Failing that I will be more than happy to liaise with MTO and do whatever I can to push things along. It certainly is a pretty critical issue here. MPP Kiwala is Parliamentary assistant to The Honourable Michael Coteau, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport and Minister responsible for Pan/Para Pan

American Games.

Frontenac County Senior Housing: Frontenac County is requesting proposals to provide the county with a Business Plan for the development of Seniors Housing in Marysville. Wolfe Island has been this route before but we have never come this far. Mayor Denis Doyle, Chairman of the Frontenac County- Seniors Housing Task Force-, alerted me to the newspaper ad regarding the possibility of a Wolfe Island senior housing project and the Business Plan proposal request. Consult Frontenac County or 613-548-9400 x 313

“At our last County Council meeting we passed a resolution to spend up to $25K on this study, and $5K more to update the base report for the other 3 townships when we get to that stage,” Mayor Doyle said. “In addition to those millions ‘liberated’ from Township Tax Payers over the past 15 years, we agreed to put $1.5 Million in a reserve to

build a seniors’ facility in each of the townships. If my math is correct that would be $375K for us. While not enough to complete the build, I can now see us going forward with a 5 unit project on Wolfe.”

Addressing the existing gap in Seniors Affordable Housing stock by leveraging and/or funding the construction of a project in each of the four Frontenac townships - is one of the three “Wildly Important Goals” (WIGs) adopted by County Council to be accomplished by the end of the 2015-18 term of County Council.

Enchanté - If you’ve visited the Kingston Antique Market behind City Hall on a Sunday and you’ve seen an adorable teardrop trailer, you’ve likely run into Carolyn Fielding, the proprietor of OUTPOST.

In a sense, she follows in the ancient tradition of the peripatetic nomads, a population that moves among settled groups offering crafts or trade. Her items of trade are mostly vintage clothing, but you can also find quite a collection of eccentric items.

Like a mini Romani caravan, Carolyn pulls her trailer around Ontario.

From vintage shoes and dresses to tribal patterns and denim shirts, you’ll find it in the OUTPOST mobile shop.

Looking very country girlish, almost like she stepped off the pages of Lucy Maud Montgomery, Fielding is at home and content with her nomadic existence. In her straw hat, sundress and gold locket, she greets visitors at her shop at the Kingston Flea Market with a big smile.

Inside her trailer you’ll see a couple of shelves with everything an explorer needs. There’s a straw hat, a fedora, a flashlight, water bottle, book, plaid flannel shirt and backpack. Oh, and a photograph of a moose. It could be a shelf in Indiana Jones’ room. Except for the iPod.

I saw a play this year, The Explorer’s Club, about a woman adventurer who

wants to join an all-male club of world adventurers. Carolyn Fielding could have been the protagonist—a bright, positive and adventurous woman.

Perhaps there is some distant relation to the Irish Travellers, an itinerant Celtic population often seen in Ireland’s countryside. There are tens of thousands of Irish Travellers in North America. The largest group, about 2,500, live in the area of Augusta, South Carolina. Others inhabit Georgia, Mississippi and Texas.

Recent DNA evidence proved that Irish Travellers are a distinct Irish ethnic group, who separated from the settled Irish community more than 1,000 years ago. Others joined the Traveller culture during Oliver Cromwell’s campaign in the 1600s when thousands of Irish were left homeless. Still others joined in the 19th century during An Gorta Mor—The Great Hunger.

Or maybe Carolyn Fielding has Roma blood hidden somewhere in her genetic code.

Like many nomads, Carolyn’s lifestyle feels natural to her.

She says that OUTPOST is a collection of treasures found and sold on the road.

“My clothing is inspired by the Great White North and all its classic, rugged and kitschy fashions associated with being Canadian.”

She says that for each piece she selects, she envisions the perfect time it should be worn, whether that’s for sipping on a beer or a weekend at the cottage. If there’s a Neil Young, Joni Mitchell or McKenzie Brothers vibe, she

says it’s promptly scooped up.“I started Outpost as I knew selling

vintage and thrifted clothing was what I wanted to do with my career,” she says. “I would love to have my own shop one day and I thought a mobile shop would be a great way to try a test run of my own business.”

You can see a selection of the type of items she carries at her Etsy store on the Internet. Search OutpostVintageThrift on Etsy to find her.

She carries quite a variety on Etsy, including a Hawaiian aloha romper, cowboy shirts, tooled leather sandals, a suede vest and a biker’s leather vest.

Her inaugural year finds her in good spirits.

“I started my mobile shop this May,” she says. “My first time out was at the Aberfoyle Market on May 4. It was a cold and windy day, but it was a great first run. The idea of OUTPOST had been cooking for over a year.”

She has a tentative schedule through the summer.

“When it comes to the selection of certain cities and markets I am completely open,” she says. “I used May to try out many different locations to see what worked best for me. The ones

that had great vibes and lovely people, I made sure to return to.”

Fortunately, she liked the feel of Kingston and includes it on her rotation of cities.

“Often customers and other vendors would give me suggestions and requests to go to certain places, which has been a great help for me.”

As for the teardrop trailer—itself a vintage item at more than 50 years old and which suits her playfulness perfectly - she found that in Cornwall.

“An elderly gentleman had built the trailer himself from a Popular Mechanics kit,” she says. “I hadn’t been in the market for a teardrop, but the minute I saw it I had fallen in love.”

Her home base is Aurora and that’s where you’ll find her between road trips.

“I haven’t made any definite plans after the flea market season is over,” she says. “I am just taking things week by week and seeing what opportunities come my way. I do know that when flea market season is over I will continue OUTPOST on Etsy and then look to the next season.”

Hitting the road with a vintage collection was not a stretch for her.

Before launching OUTPOST, she was living in Toronto working at a vintage store in Kensington Market.

“I gave that up to pursue my own vintage business adventure.”

A nomadic life may not be for everyone, but Carolyn is enjoying it.

“Life on the road is an adventure,” she says. “Every trip I take is a whole new experience.”

Sometimes friends accompany her, but she also embarks on trips alone.

“I found that I enjoy my solo trips as they give me a sense of pride. They really challenge me to be an independent woman. Most of my adventures involve sleeping in bizarre locations, eating cereal for every meal and getting very lost. Despite the many hiccups that come along with life on the road, I am loving every minute of it.”

You can find the OUTPOST schedule on her website. Upcoming dates in our area include the Wolfe Island Music Festival on August 9 and the Kingston Flea Market on August 10.

Daytripper - Whether it’s wine, beaches, fine restaurants, spas or relaxing rural scenes, Prince Edward County on the Isle of Quinte is the place to visit.

You can step back in time and taste what many of our pioneer forebears drank at every meal. Hard cider was known to be safe compared to many sources of drinking water. Cider was one of the original health foods.

For an unequalled taste of the hard stuff, head to the County Cider Company, located just outside the hamlet of Waupoos at 657 Bongard’s Crossroad. Out of the many wineries and cideries in the county, my favorite, hands down, is County Cider, where you can get the best drink in the county.

The farm where County Cider is located has produced apples since 1850. Grant Howes, the owner of County Cider, started the company about 15 years ago. His parents operated the apple farm at Waupoos for years.

County Cider grows their own apples, bottles the cider and markets it in an artisan hands-on manner. The cider is made of 100% juice. There’s no watering down. You can taste the difference that using fresh apples instead of concentrate makes.

Nowadays, everyone in the county thinks they’re an oenophile, but winemaking skills don’t arrive overnight. You’ll have to do your own taste testing. There are definitely some underpriced fine wines in Quinte. There are also lots of grossly overpriced duds available to the unsuspecting visitor. Don’t let price guide you. Do the tastings and decide for yourself.

As for food, the options in the county are numerous. From quick healthy hot dogs at

Buddha Dog on Picton’s main street to refined dining at Wearing House, a few minutes west of Picton, your tummy will enjoy a day of culinary exploring.

My favorite eatery on the Isle of Quinte is the outdoor patio at County Cider, especially on a warm, sunny day. There’s usually a soft breeze drifting in from the lake. Your view will delight you as you look at the rows of vines growing down the hill toward the lake in the distance. The staff members of County Cider are delightful. Clearly they have a great work environment.

The best cheese in Ontario (there are a lot of bests in Prince Edward County) is found at Black River Cheese at 913 County Road 13, which has operated as a farmers’ co-op for more than a century. There’s a noticeable uniqueness to the taste of the cheese. In addition to delicious standard cheeses, Black River has some unique specialties. For example, maple cheddar is a wonderfully odd combination of sweet and tangy.

If you drop into the Black River factory shop on Mondays you can watch cheese being made. It starts at 7 a.m. with 10 a.m. being the optimum viewing time. Fresh curd will be ready at around 11 a.m.

Museums abound in the county. Rose House Museum is located at 3333

County Rd. 8 on the south shore. The main ongoing interpretation at Rose

House is that of the American Revolution, the Loyalists who settled in Marysburgh and the Hessian soldiers. The Hessians were German soldiers contracted by the British. They were hired by units, not individually, and payment for their services was rendered to the prince of their respective German states. Many remained in Canada and formed Marysburgh, the oldest

settled area of Prince Edward County.

At Mariners Park Museum at 2065 County Road 13 you can explore the region’s marine history.

Prince Edward County has a grand history on the water. The mid-19th century was a prime era for Quinte’s sailing trade. During the development of the Rideau Canal, it became obvious that trade via water offered grand opportunities. Many wharves

were built around South Bay. Shipbuilding became a prime industry of the region. More than 280 ships have been salvaged and more than 50 shipwreck sites still remain close to Mariners Park Museum on Quinte’s South Bay.

During America’s 20th century’s Prohibition Era, illegal rum-running offered great payoffs to Canadians willing to take the risk of transporting booze to the U.S. Some of the tools of the rum-running trade are on display at Mariner’s Park Museum. You’ll even see a dinghy used to ferry liquor from larger boats in the waters of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River to American shores.

At the Ameliasburgh Historical Museum at 517 County Road 19, you’ll discover a 19th century world.

This lovely museum got its start in 1968, when, after a hundred years as the Wesleyan Methodist Church, the dwindling rural congregation’s building was sold for one dollar to Ameliasburgh Township. The church became the first building at the museum and pioneer village.

In the top floor gallery of the church, you’ll find artifacts, including a classroom, from life

in small town Ontario in the 1800s. There’s also a court house, butter making display, First Nations artifacts, pianos and a large school bell that you can ring.

Since 1968, additional buildings were moved to the site. In the village you’ll find a log cabin, carpentry shop, beekeepers display, dairy display, blacksmith shop, farm machinery and a sugar shack.

In Picton, you’ll find Macaulay Heritage Park at 35 Church Street. MacAulay Heritage Park’s namesake, the Reverend William MacAulay, once lived in the house beside the

original Church of Mary Magdalene in Picton. He is buried in the cemetery beside the church he helped establish.

Staff at the museum wear mid-1800s style dresses and bonnets. In addition to offering helpful information, you’ll also see them tending the garden and functioning like 19th century staff.

MacAulay’s own house, a Neo-Classical form, was built in 1830. The second floor dressing room is indicative of the luxurious life MacAulay lived. Few homes of the day had an entire room set aside for the purpose of clothing and dressing.

One of the most striking features of this site is the heritage garden, remarkably true to the 1850s. MacAulay Heritage Park was able to recreate the gardens in their original form thanks to extensive diaries kept by MacAulay’s first wife, Anne Catherine Geddes, who died of tuberculosis. Even the trees in the orchard have been created from grafts of species of apples in common use in the mid 19th century.

Next door to MacAulay house, beside the church, is the old St. Mary Magdalene parish cemetery with tombstones dating to the 1800s. Look for the famous February 31st engraving on one.

Prince Edward County is full of all that is quirky. Take in a silent movie night at the Baxter Arts Centre in the lovely village of Bloomfield. Explore the Arts Trail, which comprises 25 artist galleries and studios. For maps and directions to the many sites in the county, check out websites listed below.

It’s a cliche, but getting there is part of the fun.

The Glenora Ferry, which crosses between Adolphustown on the east side, to Glenora on the Isle of Quinte, offers a pleasant ride with great views. The ferry, in different forms, has operated for more than 200 years.

For more information, visit www.prince-edward-county.com and www.pecchamber.com.

Directions: Take County Road 33 (Bath Road) west from Kingston. It ends at the Glenora Ferry. Cross on the ferry and continue on Cty. Rd 33, which takes you into Picton.

Gazette Lifestyle - My sister Audrey was being dispatched to Briscoe’s General store, and told to hurry up about it!

Father’s sister, Aunt Freda (not Aunt Lizzie who regularly sent the hand-me-down boxes from Regina) was coming for a short visit from Chicago! I had never laid eyes on Aunt Freda, nor had Mother. Our contact was through the odd letter, and a gift of a radio which was of no use whatsoever, since we had no electricity!

She would be arriving at the C.P.R. station in Renfrew late in the day, would be there for one day and one night only, and then heading to Arnprior to visit Aunt Nellie and Uncle Henry Wagenblass. Well, did that set our house in a frenzy! What to have for supper? Change the bed upstairs, clean from top to bottom, get out the only white tablecloth we owned and which Mother had brought from New York, and try to find dishes that matched. And do all of this before Father headed into Renfrew to bring Aunt Freda out to Northcote.

The dishes were the problem. We had a hodge-podge of mismatched dishes, some with a gold maple leaf in the centre of each plate that had been in our old log house for generations, some with a navy-blue rim around them, and then there were the ones that came in the puffed-wheat bag. Without a doubt, they were best of the lot, but we were far from having enough to set a complete table. In

fact, there weren’t enough of the puffed wheat dishes to even make one complete setting.

I thought everyone in Northcote got their dishes from the puffed-wheat bag. Unfortunately, the company that put one piece in each bag, gave an overabundance of saucers, and rarely bothered with

cups. And so we had an about 12 saucers, no cups, a couple dinner plates, and a small plate Mother called a bread-and-butter plate, which according to Father wasn’t worth taking out of the cupboard.

And so Audrey, with me in tow, was heading for Briscoe’s General Store to buy yet another bag of puffed wheat, and hopefully come home with at least one tea cup. To prepare for this errand, Audrey had gone to the sewing basket and taken out a long knitting needle, and I knew exactly why. She also had a short list of things Mother had to have on hand just because Aunt Freda was coming. A bar of Ivory soap, (heaven forbid Aunt Freda would have to use homemade soap reeking of Gillettes Lye) because regardless how hard Mother tried, she was never able to completely dissolve all the little pieces of lye in the making.

When we got to the store, Audrey headed right for the bags of puffed wheat. Although as light as a feather, the bags were big, with a strip of paper down the front with very small holes in it, so that the customer could see what a wonderful cereal this was! The bags were piled up against the wall, and Audrey, making no attempt to hide what she was up to, got down on her hands and knees and ever so carefully, worked the knitting needle into one bag at a time.

She poked away until she hit a piece of china, which the company made awfully sure was right in the

middle of the bag. It was my job to see that she didn’t attack the same bag twice. She had worked her way through about 10 bags, when finally she came up for air, and looking like she had just discovered America, took the bag over to the counter, gathered up the other things on Mother’s list, said “please put this on Mother’s bill,” and we headed for the buggy outside.

It didn’t take Mother long to rip into the bag, pour out a goodly portion into a big bowl, and retrieve a cup! Now, Aunt Freda would have a cup and saucer that matched, and a

dinner and bread and butter plate, all thanks to a bag of puffed wheat!

None of us much liked puffed wheat. And there was always two or three bags tucked away in the cupboard out in the summer kitchen...bought simply for the dish inside.

There was no doubt Mr. Briscoe knew exactly what my sister Audrey was up to when she came into the store with the long knitting needle. He paid no attention to her at all. And when I asked Audrey if what she was doing was considered dishonest, she said, “certainly not...we bought a bag of puffed wheat, didn’t we?”

And when I visited school friends in Northcote, and stayed for a meal, their tables too were set with an assortment of miss-matched dishes. And always there would be a plate, or a saucer, with the fluted edge, circled in a gold rim, and with small red and pink flowers, right out of a bag of puffed wheat!

Gazette News – It’s graduation season and as students across the city celebrate the end of elementary school or high school, some students at W.J. Holsgrove Public School celebrated the important milestone

of graduating from kindergarten. “It’s a tradition we started last year

and it was really successful,” explained kindergarten teacher Trish Rance Michielin. “The kids may not be so aware of their passage from kindergarten to Grade 1 but it is lovely to signify it in this way for them and I think parents really value these special

events where kids can showcase what they have learned.”

Parents, friends and siblings were invited to share in the special occasion and it was hard to tell who was more excited – the kids or the proud, camera happy parents. Michielin set it up as a real graduation ceremony and the kids kicked off the festivities by performing

songs they had learned throughout the school year including songs about apples, friendship, Valentine’s Day and winter.

Following the songs, students were asked to come forward to receive their graduation cap, complete with tassel, and their official kindergarten

diploma. Michielin also added anecdotes about each student compiled from a few questions she has asked them prior to the

ceremony.“I wanted to know what all of my

students had learned throughout the year,” added Michielin, “what their favorite part of the class was and what they will remember most going forward. Their answers were so nice to hear and I wanted to share that with parents, too.”

Answers varied from remembering a tadpole project to visits to the fire hall and community fun days and some even remembered the first day they met a good friend. The students learned a lot too, like how to share, read, write and sing songs.

After handing out the diplomas, students were invited to pass through the ‘enchanted rainforest’ and under the rainbow to symbolize their transition from kindergarten to Grade 1. Each student ran through a green mesh tunnel that was held up by parents and Grade 1 students and as they emerged on the other side, parents waved rainbow pieces of material.

“The ceremony was a lot of fun and I like my cap,” said student Hailey McCullough. “I’m excited to go to Grade 1.”

Hailey shared that her favorite part of kindergarten was meeting her teacher and while Michielin is a little sad to see the students go, she knows that she will see them throughout the coming years.

“It is a little bittersweet for me but I’ll still see them all the time after they move on. I’m happy we can recognize them in this way and I look forward to seeing them grow even more.”

Classroom program shows students how precious and vulnerable we all are By Hollie [email protected]

Heritage News - Baby Jack may just have turned one year old this June, but he’s already proven to be a very effective teacher.

Once a month during the school year, little Jack visited Erin Koebel’s Grade 5 class at Winston Churchill Public School as part of Roots of Empathy, a national program that has proven to be significantly effective in reducing levels of aggression among school children while raising social/emotional com-petence and increasing empathy.

“The baby totally engages kids,” explains local Roots of Empathy instructor and key

point person Liz Bates. “All of their defenses go down when the baby comes in. You have their attention, you have their hearts. They’re willing to be vulnerable and really think about things deeply.”

Over the school year, the children became quite attached to little Jack, and shared in the joy of his milestones and accomplishments.

“The kids were very perceptive of every-thing Jack was doing,” says Jack’s mom, Lyd-ia Shepherd. Even if he picked up two balls in-stead of one it was a huge deal…I just thought that was so sweet. It was so nice to see how much care they had for Jack and how much interest they had.”

Gradually, the children’s connection with

Jack began to change the way in which they treated each other, too. Koebel explains that at the beginning of the school year, the Grade 5s struggled with bullying and over competi-tiveness when they played sports. Everybody wanted to be the winner and only those with high skill levels felt included.

“Because of Jack and the program, when un-kind words were spoken, we would say ‘would we say this if baby Jack was here?’ No? Well, we all start out like baby Jack and we all have feelings like baby Jack and we need to start recognizing that in each other and be kind to each other,” Koebel says.

She adds that “they had a great growth in terms of their ability to empathize with others and know how their actions and their words affect other people in both a positive and a negative way.”

At the end of the school year, the Grade 5s gifted Jack a football to symbolize how he helped them to be able to play team sports more cooperatively.

“[By the end of the year] a good throw was celebrated, good sportsmanship was celebrat-ed and they really did a better job of including everybody and not focusing so much on the win but playing the game as a group.”

But the students weren’t the only ones who benefited from the sessions - baby Jack and Lydia did, too.

“There’s a greeting song that they sing to him when he first comes in,” Lydia says. “He could be screaming at the top of his lungs but if I start singing that song he’ll just stop and

look right at me. So it’s obviously been a very positive experience for him. I just can’t say enough good things about the program.”

At the end of the school year, Jack gave his friends sunflower seeds and anti-bully-ing bracelets to symbolize what the children learned over the year.

“Sunflower seeds grow and they look dif-ferent, they’re different colours,” Lydia ex-plains. “But no matter what they look like or how they grow or how quickly they grow, you still have to give them a lot of attention and care. And with the bracelets, we wanted them to have something on them as a reminder to support one another instead of belittling.”

Both she and Koebel emphasize that they would highly recommend Roots of Empathy to other parents and teachers.

“The opportunity to do this in a classroom is wonderful,” Koebel says. “The connection with Jack and Lydia and my class was sig-nificant and meaningful and something I think they will take with them throughout their years and remember for a long time. It really is a wonderful way to teach the children how to be positive, contributing citizens and to re-ally be connected to others.”

Roots of Empathy is currently looking for volunteers to participate in the 2014-2015 program. Babies born between June and Au-gust, 2014 are eligible. The local program runs throughout the region including north, east and west of Kingston. Those interested are asked to contact Liz Bates at [email protected].

Gazette News – It may have taken four years to complete, but Home Base Housing is now fully moved into their new location at 540 Montreal Street.

“This day really brings closure to our long quest to find a new home for Home Base Housing,” said executive director Tom Greening at the facilities grand opening on June 26. “We managed well for over 13 years, but we knew it was time to look for more space.”

Easier said than done. It took Greening and his colleagues over a year to find the perfect space for HBH and even then, Greening

himself approached the previous owners of 540 Montreal Street (Kingston Oxygen) as a last resort.

“It had to be a space that was for sale at a price we could afford, it had to be on a [main road] and a certain distance from downtown that was accessible for people,” explained Greening who admits that it was no easy task. “I’ve always loved this building and I stopped by one day and I asked to speak to the owners. I asked if they would sell the building and luckily they said yes.”

The new space is now home to the In From the Cold Shelter, Home Base Housing and their Housing Help Centre and sister organization the Independent Living Centre. Greening added that it is nice to finally have

all of these services in one place and to be able to expand their services.

“Barrie Street was 1,600 square feet in size and in that space we housed 24 people. One room had beds, laundry, kitchen and a staff desk and we had one shower for 24 people. The space we are in now is more than double the size and that is really what drove the process forward.”

The new facility has beds for 38 people, in separate women and men’s quarters if required, two shower facilities, a change room and separate kitchen and laundry facilities. The facility also has seven bachelor style apartments for those in need of temporary housing and workrooms for nurse practitioners and other agencies to use to service clients.

Mayor Mark Gerretsen attended the grand opening celebrations and commented on the commitment of the Home Base Housing staff.

“As I learned about this project I thought that it was quite the project that they were

undertaking,” said Gerretsen. “But this organization is truly amazing and they worked together through the challenges and made things work. This organization has the skills to visualize what they want and they go after that and a lot of that comes from Tom.”

Base funding for the new facility came from the City of Kingston and the Province of Ontario Trillium Foundation. HBH also raised $125,000 through their capital funding campaign, although their goal was $150,000. Greening hopes that they can make up the difference in further fundraising, but for now he is just happy to be fully in the facility and so is the staff.

“There is always a level of doubt with a substantial move like this one. We were unsure how the staff would receive the new facility and how the transition would go, but I think now it is safe to say that we all love it,” added Greening. “I think we got it right.”

Gazette News – It’s finally out with the old and in with the new – flooring, that is – at KGH. After more than 30 years, carpets throughout the hospital and patient care areas were recently removed and replaced with shiny new flooring.

“It is brighter, shinier and easier to clean,” said Donna Cooper, Program Manager, Obstetrics/Gynecology and Genetics at KGH during a tour of the new KGH on June 24. “The carpet made the whole area darker and drearier, so we were happy to see it go.”

Funding for the change came from a one-time $7million funding grant from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and allowed the removal of carpets on 20 floors of the hospital and all patient-care areas. Former MPP John Gerretsen was instrumental to the process and securing funding for the project and he was certainly happy to see the end result.

“I suppose they thought that they were doing the right thing by installing carpeting, but it is an issue that I heard about a lot over the years,” said Gerretsen. “Now it looks very clean and modern and just hearing the comments from staff already, it seems that everyone is very pleased with the end result. It looks fantastic.”

Replacing the carpet was no easy task and renovations took 38 months to complete, but with the help of a dedicated team 634 beds were temporarily relocated and more than 24,000 square metres of carpet were removed.

“It was kind of like a military operation and

every single department in this hospital was involved,” explained Leslee Thompson, KGH President and CEO. “We have about 7,000 people…walking on these floors on a regular basis so you can just imagine what that carpet looked like after 30 years.”

For Jennifer Dee, a former patient at KGH and now a Patient Experience Advisor, the carpets were about more than just appearances. Dee experienced a bout with C-Dificile during her time at KGH and after that she felt she needed to get more involved to prevent future outbreaks of the common hospital-spread virus.

“I think the carpet was a major issue,” said Dee. “You would never have carpet in your own home for over 30 years and carpeting was not, in any way, appropriate for the level of care that we need to be providing for people. It couldn’t provide the level of cleanliness that patients expect.”

Dee also explained that staff did the best they could in terms of cleanliness, but the stains still penetrated and the hospital never felt as clean as it should. Now, staff can actually fully disinfect areas and as Thompson pointed out, the staff can also take more pride in their environment now.

“The staff is just more proud of their work environment,” added Thompson. “They feel like they are in a real first rate hospital and it is so great to see that our appearance now matches our skills and our level of patient care. We have such incredible staff and people want to be part of this environment. Now they walk a little taller.”

Patient response to the renovations has already improved and KGH has seen a jump in patient satisfaction surveys from 71 per cent satisfaction on cleanliness in 2011 to 81 per cent in 2013.

Dee hopes that these changes continue to

have a positive result and sees them as a fresh start for the hospital.

“Now it feels like we are really moving forward. This feels like 2014 and the type of facility we should be having and one that we can be proud of.”

Gazette News – On June 19, University Hopsitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) celebrated the spirit of giving with donors, supporters and community members. The ceremony was part of the seventh annual Celebration of Giving and recognized a number of important members of the community including two very special award recipients.

Sherri McCullough, board chair at Hotel Dieu Hospital, was recognized for her contributions and commitment to fundraising and volunteerism for Kingston Hospitals. She received the Ian Wilson Award for Volunteerism and was incredibly humbled by the recognition.

“It is named after Ian Wilson who was chair of the Together We Can campaign, which was an incredibly successful fundraising campaign here in Kingston,” explained McCullough. “It is quite an honour to receive this award and be associated with Ian and the work he has done.”

McCullough has worked for 23 years in various volunteer and leadership roles including roles with the Ontario Hospital Association and the Catholic Association of Ontario. While the

award recognizes the work she has done over the years, McCullough points out that it surely will not slow her down.

“I am not retiring and I’m not planning on going anywhere just yet,” she added. “Often people get these awards at the end of their time, but I’m not done yet. I still have a lot to contribute.”

UHKF also handed out the Tim Davies Award for Philanthropic Leadership to the Child Development Centre (CDC) and their Walk/Run Committee at the celebration. The CDC is one of 21 children’s treatment centres in Ontario providing specialized support to children and youth with special needs and the walk/run is their only annual fundraiser.

Director of the CDC Margaret van Beers was ecstatic about the award and was even happier to have recognition for the committee that puts the walk/run together each year.

“It is a combination of staff members and devoted volunteers who help with the planning of this event and they basically work year round on it,” explained van Beers. “They are very dedicated and they are very committed to organizing and everyone is focused on doing it for the kids. They truly deserve this recognition.”

The CDC had no idea they were being

nominated for the award, but it was a welcome surprise for van Beers, who was deeply moved by the speech that Tim Davies gave before presenting the award.

“His grandfather had spina bifida so the CDC means a lot to him personally and that makes it mean even more to us. It was such a beautiful evening and anything that can help us raise awareness about the CDC is positive.”

The evening also celebrated the almost $9 million in donations from the community in the past year to UHKF as well as their recent Imagine Canada accreditation. UHKF became one of the first 100 charities and nonprofits in Canada to be accredited under the Imagine Canada Standards Program, which is designed to strengthen

practices. McCullough was happy to hear of the well deserved accreditation and spoke of UHKF’s amazing contributions to Kingston.

“UHKF has made such a dramatic and wonderful impact in Kingston for all three of our hospitals,” said Sherri McCullough. “It is a fundraising arm for HDH, KGH and Providence Care and working together and creating this foundation has been one of the most significant and dramatic improvements to healthcare in Kingston in the last decade.”

The birth of a vegetable patchBy Kate KristiansenColumnist

Gazette Lifestyle – I am growing a garden. My gifts do not include a natu-rally “green thumb”, so this is an ambi-tious undertaking on my part.

Most people these days are on the bandwagon of producing food grown right in their own backyards.

As a kid, my parents prepared a gar-den each spring, as much a need as a convenience, but its reward was the plea-sure of growing their own vegetables in addition to the savings. The investment in a vegetable garden can almost cut weekly food bills in half. As a child, I enjoyed nibbles of ripe tomatoes, earthy bites of carrots and sweet strawberries plucked from the garden, but I despised being bent over weeding, knees almost bleeding on the hard ground, with the af-ternoon sun beating down.

Nevertheless, I find I am inspired to grow my own food. Growing a garden will be a challenge to execute and trans-late into real, living, edible things. My knowledge is limited, but I am commit-ted to seeing this project through.

4601268 4601268This winter, I be-gan by filling little starter indoor pots with soil and seeds to sprout a variety of vegetables for spring planting. My vision included a summer project of raised gar-dens with a bounty of plants and flowers. As a beginner, there were so many unan-swered questions. How much space do I need for a garden? What should I plant? How often should I water?

It may be that you do not have much choice as to how big your garden will be; you just fill the space you have available. On the other hand, you may have 10 acres and three family members, requiring some thought as to how much you will eat, share or have time for. The key is to build a garden small enough to manage and not hog all your free time, but not so small that you run out of vegetables mid way through making a sandwich.

If you are a veggie lover and want to preserve or grow an extra row to donate to Loving Spoonful (www.lovingspoon-ful.org), you may consider 4 x 20 ft. beds. But when you are just starting out, smaller is better. You can always expand in the future.

A garden can take any shape you imagine. It can be a series of straight beds, it can twist and curve throughout your landscape, or it can be arranged in geometrical patterns. You can combine these styles or develop a style on your own. I like to keep things simple. I’ve started with 2 x 8 foot wooden cedar beds (graciously built by hubby). Our vi-sion is to tackle this small patch and add on in future years, perhaps even adding a greenhouse.

There is something about the process of planting a seed and watching it push through the soil and finish up as some-thing good to eat. I squealed with delight

when my peas poked through their start-er beds (a pleasure most kids discover in Grade 3.) I anxiously wait for them to twist up their posts, each little green pouch getting larger on its vine until it’s ready for the plucking.

The health of your plants depends on the health of your soil. There is a whole science to studying soil. It is a mini-ecosystem and it will be healthiest when there are many different insects and mi-croorganisms to keep each other in bal-ance. When you start out, add as much compost and organic fertilizer as you want; it takes time for all the right insects to arrive and build a healthy, balanced soil system. But, remember to check your pH levels every two or three years.

We built a wood-framed garden, which is a little more work than a mound-ed garden bed. Hubby chose cedar, so he doesn’t have to replace it in a year’s time (he has blind faith that I will con-tinue this project annually). Cedar tends to be rot resistant, but you could always use pine or fir outside. We prepared the frame, then stapled weed mat to the bot-tom and filled it with topsoil and organic fertilizer. Then we mapped out which vegetables, herbs and flowers grow well together. Begin with what produce you

normally purchase, and what you want to grow. Draw a map of which plants are taller and should be planted at the back to prevent shadows. Consider compan-ion gardening, and growing plants the complement each other side by side.

Watering your garden is as important as weeding. At this time of the year, you should be checking daily that the soil is moist. It should never be bone dry or soggy wet. July is usually the month that serious harvesting starts. My sage, chives, basil, peas, cauliflower and salad greens are ready for picking. The hottest time of the year is in August, when the garden will require watering every day or at least every other day.

In an effort to understand my garden, I’ve picked up several resources, sought advice from gardening friends and visit-ed garden centres to speak to the experts. Everyone has there own secrets or magic ways. What I’ve learned is that you don’t have to have a green thumb or have stud-ied with professional gardeners. You will discover each season what works. Every new gardener has their reason for getting started. Some want a more nutritious diet, others to save money on grocery bills and others are cooks who simply enjoy fresh food. Regardless of

the intention, I am excited to experi-ence the benefits of growing my own food.

If you have foodie biz or a res-taurant suggestion please email me at [email protected] or fol-low my blog [email protected], or Facebook.
