Central Frontenac struggling with battle of flooded roads this springBy Craig BakayReporter

Gazette News — A few weeks ago, Central Frontenac Public Works Manager Mike Richardson was telling Council how good it was having a “slow thaw.”

That all changed at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake as warm days followed by cold nights have turned some Township roads into nightmares for both their residents and Township crews alike.

“We’ve been out there working steady on nothing else for a week,” Richardson said. “I know we have some roads blocked off and we’ve had at least 20 complaints about culverts.”

Richardson said the problem is that this year, there is a fairly deep layer of ice at the bottom of snowbanks, culverts and ditches. They can work to clear water during the day but the ice at the bottom remains, preventing what’s left over from seeping into the groundwater table as melt water from further away from the actual road moves in to take the place of what they’ve removed.

“We have some success clearing it and then overnight, it goes back to the way it was,” he said. “It looks like we’re just going to have to keep going in circles until we get a thaw that takes out the ice.”

Dep. Mayor Frances Smith said she had trouble getting

through to the Township hotline on the weekend, but Coun. Norm Guntensperger said he got through no problem.

Richardson said he encourages the public to call in to let them know, especially if roads are impassible but also asked Council members to ask their constituents for a little more detail when making their calls and complaints.

“We need a fairly exact location with the road name and address if possible,” Richardson said. “And we need a fairly accurate description of the problem.

“For example, a washout is a road you can’t drive through. If you can drive through, it’s called flooding.”

On another matter, Richardson came to Council prepared to defend his decision to buy a new four-wheel-drive, front-end loader as opposed to a used model. Richardson even invited a consultant to the meeting to back up his case but in the end it turned out not to be necessary.

Coun. Wayne Millar, who had requested staff look into used equipment at the previous meeting, said he was impressed with the depth of Richardson’s report, which included an analysis of the vehicles available across North America and sections on the 10,000 hours of use threshold.

“I think this is a very good report and it opened my eyes quite a bit,” Millar said. “I’ll support your bid to go new on this equipment.”

Smith concurred. “I think now that Council has seen this information

written down, I don’t think we need any more convincing,” she said.

The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, April 17, 2014 3

By Hollie Pratt-CampbellHollie Pratt-Campbell

Gazette News - When Oakley Clow first started Clow Farm Equipment in the sum-mer of 1962, he never dreamed the busi-ness would someday evolve into a 15,000 square foot space, complete with an indoor showroom and even a toy section.

“I had just got out of high school and John Deere was looking for a dealer in the area,” Clow recalls. “They sent letters around to all the local farmers and my dad was a farmer, he milked jersey cows, and on a lark we decided to send a letter in. They came down and interviewed us and decided that this was a good location. I think our initial investment was around

$3,000.”The first shop was built right on the

Clow family farm in Joyceville. Over the decades, they expanded on the building three times, but continued to find they just didn’t have enough space. In February, Clow Farm Equipment moved into their big new building on Highway 15, just north of the 401. Oakley runs the busi-ness with his wife, Shirley, and son, Doug, and employs up to 25 people at any given time.

So what’s the secret to all this success?“I think being honest with our customer

has probably been the biggest thing,” Clow says. “And providing them service for their machines. John Deere has a full line of equipment so that helps us out too because

we have everything basically that farmers would need in terms of different machines and we don’t have to go to other suppliers to get parts and equipment that we need for our customers.”

And the new building should allow the business to thrive even more.

“This is a more open concept. Because of the additions that went on the other building, there were walls and we couldn’t utilize the space as economically as here. Now we also have a big display area to show our customers [our products] in the wintertime. In any weather they can come and look at equipment inside the build-ing.”

The new location seems to be boosting buzz quite significantly as well.

“We’ve seen an increase in new cus-tomers,” Clow says. “Now a number of people just pull in to see what we have or to purchase toys for their kids and stuff. We were out in the country before and we didn’t have all the customers driving by the doors.”

“It’s nice to have space to move and not to be on top of everybody,” adds Doug Clow, who was more than happy to follow in his father’s footsteps and jump on board the family business.

“It was a nice opportunity. There was no pressure ever put on me to do it. It’s something that fell into place and I enjoy doing it. It’s good to carry on the family tradition.”

For his part, Oakley is thrilled to see

how his business has evolved.“It’s sort of overwhelming to be honest

with you because I didn’t realize we’d ever get this far,” he says. “We had planned on building a new building but there just al-ways seemed to be something [preventing us from doing that]. But finally everything came together with us and John Deere and we were able to accomplish it.”

You can celebrate the grand opening of the new Clow Farm Equipment building with the family at the store April 30 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Representatives from the John Deere will be on hand, and there will be food and entertainment provided.

You can also visit Clow Farm Equip-ment’s second location in Odessa at 6515 County Road 2.

Gazette News — “I have books for sale, but not in here. The last guy caught selling in the sanctuary got

thrown out.” Thus began gardening guru Ed

Lawrence’s address to a standing-room-only, sold-out audience at Trinity United Church in Verona last weekend. Lawrence was in town for a fundraiser

put on by Grandmothers by the Lake in support of their work supporting their sub-Saharan African counterparts.

Lawrence, who was also autograph-ing copies of his new book Gardening Grief & Glory, was the centrepiece of

an enjoyable afternoon that also fea-tured some of the best munchies any-where.

But it was the popular CBC Radio’s Ontario Today personality people came to listen to...and ask questions. Guests were asked to write down questions for Lawrence to answer, just like the phone-in radio show, with Barb Rod-gers playing the part of Rita Celli.

But before the questioning started, Lawrence took the opportunity to an-nounce that he’s been asked to do a 33rd year on the show, an offer he readily accepted.

“It’s (the radio show) been quite an experience,” he said. “It’s what kept me sane for 30 years with the federal government.”

Recently retired, Lawrence was Chief Horticultural Specialist to six consecutive Governors General from Jules Leger in the ’70s through Adri-enne Clarkson in 2005, where he was in charge of the 85-acre historic grounds and greenhouses of Rideau Hall, as well as all six official residences under the authority of the National Capital Commission.

“Gardeners are pretty nice people,” he said. “Down to earth for sure.

“By law, we’re required to have a

seven-second delay on the show but we really don’t need it because even if they disagree with you, gardeners don’t tend to curse at you.”

He also shared some of the book, such as his five D’s for pruning: Dead, Damaged, Diseased, Dangerous and Delightful or Desirable.

“If flowers come in the spring, don’t prune until after they arrive,” he said. “Other than that, the best time to prune is when you have the pruners in your hand.”

And he had plenty to say about pruners as well.

“Pruners don’t come with a set of instructions,” he said. “Anvil pruners do damage to whatever you’re prun-ing.

“You want to use bypass pruners. The patent on them is gone and you can get them for under $10.”

For weed control, Lawrence advo-cated the “Armstrong method,” pulling them out by hand. He also had many other suggestions to common garden-ing issues, most of which are covered in his book.

Grandmothers by the Lake’s next fundraiser is their annual Plant and Bake Sale in front of Tiffany’s in Har-rowsmith May 31.

For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.

Christie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things

before, but to no avail.”

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience

“Today I have taken the Hair Vol-ume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will de� nitely continue taking this product”, re-lates a happy Christie.

Gazette News — Central Frontenac is consid-ering a memorial to Coun. Bill Snyder, who died in office this year, following a letter from his wife, Sharon, offering to pay for a $14,000 fence around Piccadilly Cemetery, which was a pet project of Snyder’s for several years.

“I spoke with Sharon last Friday and I would suggest we receive the letter and direct staff to come up with a plan as to how to proceed,” said CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson.

Donaldson said the plan has merit beyond the obvious tribute to the late councilor, including an opportunity to widen Arena Boundary Road and make improvements to the cemetery in general.

At the first meeting following Snyder’s un-timely death this year, Council voted to install a bench in his name at the cemetery, which is adja-cent to the Snyder Farm. Phillip Smith was sworn in to replace Snyder as Councilor for Hinchbrooke District.

the long-term fate of Piccadilly Hall would seem to be on the wall, CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson told Council that for the time being, the hall is still open and available for rental. A staff report accepted by Council last month recommended

closure of the hall. Donaldson said that there is still a fire truck

and garage on the grounds and until an alternative site is found, the adjacent hall will likely remain open.

“There is still work to be done before the hall would be closed,” Donaldson said.

Central Frontenac has regularly contributed to the Fair’s financing.

“They’re cutting it back by a day, do they still need the $2,000?” asked Coun. Jeff Matson.

“With the cutback of the Sunday events, they’ll have fewer people attending so yes,” said Dep. Mayor Frances Smith.

County for a $10,000 grant to be applied to the K & P Trail through the hamlet of Sharbot Lake.

The project would be done in conjunction with the work already done for a proposed multi-use centre in the settlement area.

Multi-use centre committee chair Frances Smith said “the proposed enhancements are in-tended to slow motorized recreational traffic and create a more esthetically appealing, safe, user-friendly link for motorized, non-motorized and pedestrian traffic between Oso Beach, downtown businesses and the main parking area to the trail and the Railway Heritage Park.”

Central Frontenac dumps rotating chair experiment with new procedure bylawBy Craig BakayReportert

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Township Council plans to change the way it does business, accepting a new draft Procedure Bylaw at its regu-lar meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

The bylaw will likely be passed at its April 29 meeting.

“As Council is aware, a review of the Town-ship’s Procedure Bylaw has been on the to-do list since October of 2011,” said CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson. “Over the past few months, staff have been reviewing the bylaw and have had some dis-cussions with Council on certain areas of concern or particular interest.”

Donaldson said many of the changes involve “word changes and commas,” but there is a major revision where it comes to the format of meetings.

Central had embarked on a system featuring a committee of the whole format for the first part of its regular meetings, with a rotating chair, followed by a dinner break and resumption of a regular Council meeting which the Mayor chaired. Del-egations were scheduled for the beginning of the second part of the meeting.

That experiment is scrapped in the new bylaw, in favour of a more traditional meeting format, with no committee component nor dinner break, and the Mayor (or Deputy Mayor in the absence of the Mayor) chairing throughout.

Donaldson said delegations from the public and organizations would now be scheduled as required, and their appearance before Council could be struc-tured towards their requirements and Council’s.

Another addition is entrenching of the sum-

mer meeting schedule whereby Council rotates its meetings to include one in each of the member dis-tricts (with the majority of meetings remaining at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake).

Coun. Tom Dewey, who represents Kennebec wondered aloud about the practice, noting that dur-ing his tenure, the meetings at Kennebec Hall in Arden were usually packed, whereas “we haven’t had any public attend the meetings at Hinchin-brooke or Olden.”

But Coun. John Purdon quickly quashed any notion of canceling the Hinchinbrooke or Olden meetings.

“If we use that criterion (public attendance), we would not be meeting in Sharbot Lake right now,” Purdon said. (Other than two reporters, everyone at the meeting was either a Council member or staff. There was one consultant present.)

Other councilors concurred with Purdon. “I think the summer meetings should stay as

they are,” said Coun. Norm Guntensperger. “If you have a meeting one district, you have to

have them in all three,” said Dep. Mayor Frances Smith, who was chairing this meeting in the ab-sence of Mayor Janet Gutowski.

About the only other issue to come up for any debate was the possibility of adding a public ques-tion period to the meetings. Frontenac County and North Frontenac have such an item on their agen-das, at the end of the meetings.

“It could be cumbersome if there’s a hot-button issue,” said Smith.

“I don’t think we’re going to be overwhelmed,” said Guntensperger, while conceding that there could be some meetings with a lot of public de-bate.

South Frontenac to submit amended plan to MOE on Portland landfill siteBy Craig BakayReportert

Gazette News — A request by the Ministry of Environment for a ‘contingency plan’ regarding the Portland Waste Disposal site had South Frontenac Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth wonder-ing if there were some ulterior motive behind the request at last week’s regular Council meeting in South Frontenac.

“The Ministry wants to see us put in writing that if our mitigations efforts don’t work, (the Township) would consider closing the facility,” Segsworth said. “They’ll probably be a little per-turbed by us only including an amended action plan but we need good data before we can recommend anything.”

“Sounds like there’s the action plan, the revised action plan, the contingency plan and they’ll come back with the not-to-use-disposal-site plan,” said Dep. Mayor Ron Vandewal.

Segsworth said an Action Plan submitted to the MOE on Oct. 9, 2012 contained three mitigation measures:

1) Water Level Management2) Permanent capping of the site in areas that

have been filled to approved contours3) Improve operational plan.“Not only have we lowered the water level (in

the surrounding wetlands) but now we understand the flow regime,” Segsworth said. “We’re under-standing the hydrology of the site a lot better.

“What the Ministry thought was upstream is

actually downstream flow and we learned that now that we’re working with Quinte Conservation.”

Segsworth said they proposed a three-year pe-riod for the Action Plan, which is being amended as new data comes to light.

“We have found through our water sampling that the water quality improves as the distance in-creases from the toe of the slope,” he said. “As a result, we have proposed a sand buffer at the toe of the slope to mitigate the impact on surface water.

“A fill permit has been submitted to Quinte Conservation for this purpose.”

In addition to surface water monitoring in con-sultation with the MOE and the buffer system, the amended plan also includes developing trigger mechanisms that reflect appropriate background surface water quality and monitoring locations, increased diversion form disposal (through recy-cling) and the addition of a portable weigh scale system.

As to the new portable weigh scale system, Seg-sworth said not only will it provide a much more objective assessment of loads coming into the dump, the scales can be relocated and used by oth-ers giving flexibility.

“Could we perhaps lease this equipment to say a quarry who needs to weigh aggregate?” said Coun. Cam Naish.

“Absolutely,” said Segsworth. “But not only that, we as a Township can use it to weight sand and salt for our winter operations and other things (for example, scrap metal).”

Gazette Column — Here’s a rather simple, dare we say elegant solution to the rising costs of electricity, home heating and pollution.

In a nutshell, let’s put solar panels on every home and building.

Now, we’re not talking about the feed-in-tariff stuff whereby Hydro One or whatever they want to call it still holds the purse strings. In fact, when you think about it, with today’s technology, we don’t need this overbloated bureaucratic dinosaur any more.

In this day and age, we simply don’t need a mass distribution system. It may have made sense in past times, but today, it’s just plain stupid.

Think about it: • No more electric or heating

bills (there will be costs but after the initial refit, the only costs will be maintenance/replacement). And how

about this, with no more heat/hydro bills, people will have more money in their pockets to spend on other things (maybe even a few extra dollars for the taxman).

• No more pollution from oil/gas/nuclear generation plants.

• No more bureaucratic bungling • No more government ‘arms

length’ salaries, infrastructure costs • No more blackouts from grids

going down (and subsequently no more terrorist threats to that effect)

• No more ugly hydro lines. Now there will be some human

costs as a lot of people are thrust out of work. But there will be work in manufacturing and installing/maintaining solar panels. But luckily, installing solar panels is not rocket surgery. It’s safe to assume anybody who can maintain an electrical grid can be retrained to install solar panels.

The rank and file at Hydro One will probably do OK under this plan, some will do better and hopefully not too many will do worse.

There are of course people who make their living distributing

home heating oil, propane and such. We’ll have to have part of the plan that addresses them being out of work but again, there should be work in manufacturing/installing/maintaining the new solar equipment.

There will be those who will oppose this plan, understandably. But those who oppose it, will be those with the most to lose, namely the fat cats who caused this mess in the first place.

There will probably still be a market for the guys who cut wood and make wood stoves. Wood stoves will always retain a certain charm and if everybody has more money in their pockets from not having to pay heat/hydro, more people will be able to afford them.

If we ramp up, I can see this plan up and running within two years, and totally in place within five years.

Yeah, it will take some planning and such to get the solar panel factories up to speed and a lot of scheduling. But, if they need somebody to oversee this thing, I’m available...cheap.

The solar solution: Isn’t it about time we put today’s technology to work for all of us?

Come out and celebrate Earth DayGazette Editorial – April 22 marks the 24th annual Earth Day here in

Canada. The day is the largest environmental event in the world. More than six

million Canadians participate in an Earth Day activity in their communities each year and hundreds of organizations across the country celebrate in different ways. This year there are multiple events happening throughout the Kingston area to help raise awareness about different environmental issues and celebrate Earth Day. Why not check one or more out?

- Join the Cataraqui Conservation Foundation for an Earth Day fundraising screening of “More Than Honey April 22, 5 p.m. at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area Outdoor Centre. Admission is $25 and proceeds support the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority’s outdoor education programs.

- Queen’s University is hosting a screening of “Waterlife: The Great lakes, the last great supply of fresh drinking water on Earth”. The screening will be supported by a live performance by The Gertrudes, with representatives from The Waterkeepers, the Water Walkers and Jamie Linton, author of ‘What is Water?’ also on hand. The event takes place on April 21 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Ellis Auditorium.

- Planet in Focus is hosting a series of film screenings at Cineplex locations across the country. Screenings in Kingston take place on April 25 at Cineplex Odeon on Gardiners Road from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for more information visit www.planetinfocus.org

Various schools throughout the area will also be holding Earth Day activities.

Even if you can’t participate in any of these events you can still contribute in small ways like using a reusable coffee mug for the day, organizing a park clean-up in your area or making an effort to pack a litter-less lunch. It is only one day, but perhaps these film screenings and activities will have a larger impact and the only way that can happen is if more people get involved.

Daytripper Places to explore and things to experience MarkBergin

By Mark BerginColumnist

Rear-Admiral Sir Robert Barrie served actively during the War of 1812, including a role as Commodore during the block-ade of Chesapeake Bay along the Ameri-can east coast. He later lived in Kingston, where, today, Barrie Street and the village of Barriefield bear his name. Likewise for the City of Barrie in southern Ontario.

In 1820, the village was named Barrie-field in honour of the commodore (later to become a rear-admiral). Among other ac-complishments and duties, Barrie served as Commissioner of the Royal Navy Dock-yards of Kingston. He held the responsibil-ity for many major Royal Navy decisions affecting Canada. One of his projects was the expansion of the dockyards, which Barriefield overlooks.

This year, Barriefield Village celebrates its 200th anniversary. An ad hoc commit-tee of the Barriefield Village Association (BVA) has been working hard on plans for the anniversary. I recently met with members of the committee and residents of Barriefield, including Bob Cardwell, Barb Carr (chair of the committee), David Craig and Christine Sypnowich (President of the BVA).

“Much of Barriefield proper was owned by Richard Cartwright,” said Carr. “He de-cided it made sense to develop the town site and sell off lots to people working at the navy shipyards in 1814. Many of the

homes were built while the War of 1812 still raged.”

Cartwright, a highly successful busi-nessman, was responsible for such services as making canvas for the Royal Navy dur-ing the war.

Today, in the lovely village of Barrie-field, some of the original homes remain on site.

The village celebrations are running throughout the year, but, since most of the lots from 1814 have dates from June, the biggest celebrations are geared for a Heri-tage Fair on June 7. Another Daytripper column in May will highlight those fes-tivities. The Heritage Fair will be an event not to be missed and will feature historical boats, carpenters, displays from the Ma-cLachlan Woodworking Museum, a black-smith, chair maker, window maker, and wagon rides. Organizers say that visitors are welcome, encouraged even, to attend in period costume.

“We’re accustomed to seeing heritage properties that are quite grand and remark-able for their features,” said Sypnow-ich. “With Barriefield, we have an entire community that forms a cultural heritage landscape. A variety of properties together make an interesting heritage landmark. That’s why it was the first area in Ontario designated as a Heritage Conservation Dis-trict.”

She explained that the original streetscape established by Cartwright in 1814 is still present.

“The properties are fairly modest,” she said. “They’re on a small scale. Some of them had no running water until the 1970s. These would have been homes to ordinary folks, a lot of workers from the navy dock-yards in the craftsman class.”

Barriefield Village was on a transporta-tion route connecting Kingston and Ottawa. Sir John A would have travelled through.

Craig added that Barriefield was the site of a large military encampment with con-siderable shipbuilding going on.

“The encampments would have predat-ed Fort Henry as it appears today,” he said.

An area bordering Barriefield became a military burial ground during a cholera epi-demic in 1831 and 1832. It is reported that, although the burial site had to be located on military property, because of fear of con-tamination it was located as far as possible from the military hospital, the fort and the dockyard. The site selected abutted Bar-riefield’s James Street. Perceptively noted in the Spring 2014 issue of the Pittsburgh Historical Society Newsletter: “The inhab-itants of Barriefield were not a consider-ation in its location.”

“One of the things about our celebra-tions this year is that we’d like to draw attention to the village for people from out-side the village,” said Sypnowich.

“We’d like to make Kingston more aware that it has a designated Heritage Vil-lage,” said Carr. “This is Kingston’s Heri-tage Village. There are so many distinctive buildings.”

She noted that Heritage Canada has given Barriefield a grant, from the Com-munity Anniversaries Fund, to help with this year’s celebrations.

The next event in the anniversary cel-ebrations will be a presentation by Pierre du Prey, Architecture in the Classical Tra-dition Comes to Barriefield, on April 29. The Historical Society’s current newslet-ter notes that du Prey has maintained his interests in local and global architecture since coming to teach architectural history at Queen’s University 43 years ago. He is also a resident of Barriefield and a found-ing member of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation.

In September, Barriefield will be the site of a plein air painting weekend, hosted by the Kingston School of Art.

“It’s in conjunction with the Interna-tional Plein Air Painters Worldwide Artist Paint Out,” Carr said. “It’s an ideal spot to celebrate a 19th century village, with dis-tinct boundaries, that’s still pretty intact.”

“Heritage is a rather fragile thing,” said Sypnowich. “One thing we think is a benefit [of our anniversary celebrations] is a consciousness raising of our Heritage Designation.”

Cardwell added that Barriefield Vil-lage and Kingston’s Market Square are the city’s two current Heritage Conservation Districts.

“Barriefield is unique in the region and further afield,” he said. “Our entire village is designated.”

“And it’s still a village,” said Carr. “This is real.”

Members of the ad hoc group pointed out that things like the Barriefield Rock Garden were created by volunteers.

“Our designation is being updated,” said Sypnowich. “One of the things to consider is the rock garden. It wasn’t included in the original plan.

The good folks of Barriefield note that their location wasn’t promoted as part of the World Heritage Site designation that includes Fort Henry and the Rideau Ca-nal.

“We’re right between the UNESCO World Heritage areas,” said Carr. “But Barriefield wasn’t included in the des-ignation, yet it was part of the defensive plans. The village was full of craftsmen, soldiers and canal workers all tied in to [the World Heritage Site].”

Cardwell said that another unique aspect of the village plan was that it in-cluded street names and identified lots, so it wouldn’t grow topsy-turvy.

Street names include George Street (Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost; 1767-1816), James Street (Commodore James Lucas Yeo; 1782-1818), Regent Street (for the Prince Regent, George Augustus Frederick; 1762-1830), Wel-lington Street (Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington; 1769-1852) and Drummond Street (Lieutenant General Sir Gordon Drummond; 1772-1854).

“And for whatever reason, Barriefield became a real hub for the boatbuilding industry,” said Cardwell. “On a per capita basis, there were far more boatbuilders in Barriefield that there were in Kingston. And a lot of boaters started their careers here. Even one of the Aykroyd’s, Samuel, had a store here.”

He said that the cash book from the shop, which went back seven generations, still exists.

Keep your eyes on Barriefield through-out the year, especially the many activities on June 7. The village has a wealth of his-tory and artifacts to share with the greater Kingston area.

Frontenac County names Kelly Pender new CAOBy Craig BakayReporter

Gazette News — Frontenac County announced this week the appointment of Kelly Pender as CAO. Pender replaces Liz Savill, who moved to a similar position in Northumberland County last November.

“Mr. Pender comes to the County of Frontenac with extensive municipal experience as CAO at the Town of Huntsville and the Town of Perth,” said Warden Bud Clayton. “We are confident that Kelly will be able to work with Council to fulfill its vision and strategic goals.”

Pender does bring an impressive resume to the posi-tion, including an MBA from Queen’s University, a cer-tificate in municipal administration from St. Lawrence College, a BLA (landscape architecture, specializing in urban and rural planning, park planning and project

management) from the University of Toronto and a BA in Geography and History.

Besides being the CAO for the Town of Huntsville for the past six years, Pender ran his own manage-ment consulting firm for two years, was the CAO for the Town of Perth for seven years, General Manager of the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority for nine years and supervisor of planning and development for the City of Belleville for six years.

Huntsville was one of the host municipalities for the 2010 G8 Summit.

His interests include golf, cars, reading, travel and computers.

His appointment becomes effective May 5.• • • Frontenac County also announced last week that

the gates on the Frontenac K & P Trail are now closed, coinciding with the closure of gates along the Cataraqui

Trail. In a press release, County Manager of

Economic Development Anne Marie Young said: “the gates are open during the winter to allow snowmobilers with a valid permit to use the trail.

“Adequate space to the side of every gate allows for non-motorized users to pass through easily.”

ATVs are not permitted on the open por-tion of the K & P Trail, which stretches about 20 kilometres from Orser Road to just north of Verona. The Trail is open for hiking, bik-ing, skiing and horseback riding.

For more information about the Fronte-nac County portion of the K & P Trail, or to report fallen trees or other disruptions to the use of the trail, contact Young at [email protected] or call 613-548-9400, ext. 330.

Its Always about the Ferry Isn’t it ? By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news- With Easter here, I will keep this rant short. But with Easter, comes spring, comes summer, comes BUSY, Busy, Busy Wolfe Island. It will be welcomed by business-es, event planners and tourism operators, and families all over the island, and specifically in Marysville.

Just in the last week with temperatures up, our own island cyclists, walkers and runners are already being joined by cyclists and walk-ing visitors from Kingston. As well, the inevi-table spring time increase in the number of cars and business vehicles coming to the island also has started. And while all this is welcomed by most, the reality is that the ferry Wolfe Islander III needs company to handle the traffic and provide the required extra capacity to accom-modate the ever increasing influx of visitors and tourists. A new 75 car ferry for Wolfe Is-land was recommended in the most recent ferry services study undertaken by the MTO.

When Mayor Doyle met with the Minister of Transportation Glen Murray, and later with MTO’s Kathy Moore, his request on behalf of Frontenac Islands, specifically Wolfe Island, was for increased ferry capacity in the form of a 2nd ferry. But we all know the likeli-hood of a 2nd ferry, old or new, to join the Wolfe Islander at this time is very remote. Used fresh-water car ferries are hard to come by, and planning for a new one is just an idea at this time.

Minister Murray urged MTO to look at the situation. On the other hand, he couldn’t un-derstand why the bridge option has been put off so often, and now again.

Yet here we are, with the ice just barely out of the bay, already seeing a steady increase in traffic. And with seasonal business and tourism so important to Wolfe Island, Island-ers are sprucing up the village, getting tourist areas ready for visitors, activities announced and events posted. They will also be looking for ways to reduce their own (vehicular) ferry trips to the city.

But what to do about long ferry waits, long line ups, diminishing ferry capacity aggravat-ed even more with the new dangerous goods regulations? Islanders are committed ferry rid-ers. On the one hand , they love the isolation it brings. They wait patiently for it, are ardent readers on it, and delight in meeting friends and neighbours. On the other hand they know tourism is important to the economic develop-ment of the island. They are concerned about the ferry’s diminishing capacity, the long line ups, the increased wait times, growing need for more toilet facilities etc. They wonder about ways to organize regular transport for visitors to Big Sandy Bay? For Metal Craft workers? To the Community Centre grounds? All to reduce the number of vehicles on the ferry! What can MTO do to help.

Is MTO able to provide more Wolfe Island ‘Park and Ride’ parking in Kingston? Could MTO summer students take on the task of en-couraging visitors going only to Marysville, to walk on the ferry? Is it possible for MTO to organize with the City of Kingston transport for visitors to Big Sandy Bay?

While Kingston sees it as another Kingston tourists’ attraction, the Wolfe Islander 111 is a lifeline for islanders first and foremost . I wonder if MTO could, or would, engage and financially support (that’s the key) the ser-vices of one of Kingston’s Tour Boat opera-tors to have a ‘ Passenger Only’ vessel travel from Kingston to Wolfe Island at peak summer hours to accommodate the tourist aspirations of both Kingston and Wolfe Island?

Around Town: The Township has encour-aged Islanders to get Ice storm tree, brush de-bris to the edge of Township roads for pickup by township. *Visit CommunityCentre on Facebook to see progress of Rink Roof. CC Spring Programs are posted. *Register on line for WI Classic Road Race (Running Room) Check wolfeisland.com

Coming Events: No Specimen Collection Good Friday. Next date May 2nd. *Easter Egg Hunt April 19th Community Centre 11 am. Babes to 12 years. * Easter Vigil Sat. 8:30 pm Sacred Heart of Mary Sun. 9:30 am.

Gazette Lifestyle - Why my cousins from Montreal were with us that time of year was beyond me. Ronny and Terry had come with Aunt Helen, who promptly went home on the train as soon as their clothes were unpacked. So it looked like they were going to be with us out on the farm for a while. Long enough that Ronny would go off to the Northcote School, while Terry, the youngest, would stay home with Mother.

Even though Ronny was a force to contend with, I loved it when the Lapointe cousins visited us on the farm. There was never a dull moment.

That early Spring morning, a Saturday it was, I woke with a front tooth in the bottom of my mouth hanging by a thread. I could feel it with my tongue, and I fled my bed like I was on my way to the gallows...Mother was already in the kitchen stirring porridge.

I pointed to the tooth, vowed I was on my death bed, and by that time had woken the entire household who still had not gotten up.

Mother looked in my mouth and lifted her hand as if she was about to perform surgery, and I clamped my mouth shut tight, still screaming at the top of my lungs.

Ronny came downstairs into the kitchen, immediately knew what all the fuss was about, and announced that he was completely capable of getting rid of the tooth, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. “I get rid of Terry’s all the time,” he said. Terry, still groggy, and too young to know what was going on, curled up on the creton couch by the Findlay Oval and promptly fell back to sleep.

Ronny went to the cupboard, got out the ball of string, and ripped off a goodly portion and said he would make a loop over the tooth, I would sit on a chair, and he would walk slowly to the back door, hanging on to the other end of the string, and the tooth would be gone.

“You won’t feel a thing,” he said. Well, the last time Ronny experimented with me and one of his high fallootin’ ideas I flew off the shed roof holding an open umbrella and had a splint on my leg for two weeks.

Mother was working away at making breakfast for Father and the brothers, who would soon be coming in from the morning chores, and she was paying absolutely no attention to Ronny or me and the seriousness of what was going on around her.

I was still crying, with my mouth clamped tight as if my lips had been glued with mucilage.

I could wobble the tooth with my tongue, and as far as I was concerned, I was ready to be taken in to old Doctor Murphy. Forget going to the dentist! I remembered

the one and only time any of us ever went to a real dentist, it cost three dollars, and my sister Audrey who was the victim, said he nearly killed her!

I knew being driven 12 miles into Renfrew to have a wobbly tooth removed by Doctor Murphy was out of the question, and I finally agreed to let Ronny look in my mouth.

“You won’t feel a thing,” Ronny said, as he neared my chair with the ball of string.

“For goodness sake, Mary, the tooth is just hanging there. Let Ronny do what he has to do so I can get the breakfast on the table. This commotion over a baby tooth is ridiculous,” Mother said as she banged the porridge pot on the Findlay Oval, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Making the most of the situation, and adding as much drama as he could muster, Ronny said he would go as far away as the parlour door to pull the string. “That way you won’t know when I am going to do it.”

As he neared my mouth, I told him I would put the string around the tooth, and he reluctantly handed me the ball made up of pieces we had retrieved from parcels bought at Briscoes General Store.

All the time I was pressing my tongue against the offending tooth, and I could tell it had loosened considerably. And then just as Ronny headed for the parlour, unrolling the string as he went, I felt the tooth lying in the bottom of my mouth. No longer was it a loose tooth...it was now a tooth that had come out on its own, with the help of my tongue!

I didn’t have the heart to tell Ronny it was all over. I had a good hold of the end of the string, and told Ronny I was ready. Ronny jerked the string like he was pulling turnips, and I let it fall to the floor and had the presence of mind to drop the tooth at my feet.

Ronny skated around the corner of the kitchen, saw the string and the tooth laying on the floor, and puffed up his chest like had just discovered America!

“Told you it wouldn’t hurt. You probably have other teeth that are ready to come out too. Let me have a look.”

Well, there was no way I was going to let Ronny pull a perfectly good tooth out of my mouth. No sireee!

Mother saved the day by telling us if we didn’t get to the table at once for breakfast, she was clearing the kitchen, and we would all have to wait for dinner at noon for our next mouthful of food.

Ronny took the tooth between his thumb and finger, looked it over, and said “I don’t want to be a General any more...I think I will be a dentist!”

By Aric McBayColumnist

We start seedlings in the greenhouse in March, when there is still snow on the ground outside. On a sunny day you can wear a t-shirt in the greenhouse, an enjoyable perk of greenhouse work at the end of a long winter. But once the sun goes down, it gets cold fast.

When we built our greenhouse about 10 years ago its only heat source was a wood stove. That first winter my partner Emily and I would kindle a fire in the greenhouse wood stove at sunset. Then we took shifts, alternating nights, trudging through snow or heavy frost to check the temperature and feed the stove every few hours.

After a few weeks the seedlings had emerged and the greenhouse was filled with thousands of tiny, tender plants. Exhausted from working in the days and walking out to stoke the fire each night, we decided to take turns sleeping on a mat on the soil of the greenhouse.

When I was on greenhouse duty I would stoke the fire until the greenhouse air was warm, smelling of fresh verdant growth despite the ice outside. Then I would fall asleep, warm enough that I barely needed a sleeping bag.

A few hours later a chill in the air would wake me. That was my signal to feed the fire. When the sunrise shone through the plastic overhead it was time to get up and do our usual farm duties. Tending to the greenhouse that first year meant having the sleep schedule of

a new parent. We’ve upgraded a bit since those

days. We still have the wood stove; we cut standing dead trees on the farm, so heating with firewood is cheap and carbon-neutral. But we let an automatic furnace with thermostat take over heating duty once we go to bed.

The greenhouse keeps us busy enough during daylight in the early spring. We have a 150-member Community Shared Agriculture operation, and we grow just about every kind of vegetable you can grow in our climate. To have the first crops ready for harvest in May or June means we start our transplants in the greenhouse months in advance.

The inside of our greenhouse looks a bit different from most commercial greenhouses. The space is ample, but still finite. We use temporary tables for seedlings and transplants. We maintain the soil under the tables so that greens, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers can flourish there in the summer when the tables are removed.

The way we grow our seedlings is a bit different as well. Most commercial greenhouses have thousands of disposable plastic trays with little soil plugs in individual cells. We’ve switched away from that method for a few reasons. For one, we’re an organic farm, and so we try to minimize the amount of plastic we consume and the quantity of waste we produce.

The plastic trays can also produce seedlings that are “rootbound.” Limited to a tiny space, a seedling’s

roots search for fresh soil, circling and circling the plastic cell until the plant is strangling itself.

As an alternative, we use “soil blocks,” little cubes of soil that we stamp out with a portable mold. The cubes hold together by themselves, no plastic necessary. You can see in the photograph how they form a grid on a tabletop in the greenhouse.

When the seedling’s roots reach the edge of the cube they touch air and stop growing. And so instead of rootbound plugs we have healthy little transplants in large enough quantity that we sell the extras at spring plant sales for home gardeners.

This spring our greenhouse is full of healthy, thriving plants. And

we don’t even have to stay up all night.

Buyers often find the process of finding a new car fun. Test driving vehicles and playing with all of the gadgets that today’s increasingly tech-heavy vehicles have to offer can be akin to kids visiting a candy store and being given carte blanche to fill up their baskets.

But as enjoyable as finding a new car can be, the financial commitment that such a purchase requires can make the process somewhat nerve-wracking as well. Buyers often assign the most risk to preowned vehicles, and rightfully so. But some buyers even regret their purchases after buying a new car, whether the car does not suit their lifestyle as much as they had hoped or the vehicle simply isn’t living up to the expectations drivers had for it at the time of purchase. Savvy buyers will consider the following factors before taking the keys to their next new cars.

* Additional costs: Many new car shoppers plan to finance or lease their vehicles, but the down payment and

monthly payment is not the only number buyers must confirm before buying a vehicle. After the purchase price and monthly payments have been figured out, the two most significant costs buyers must consider are insurance and gas. Some vehicles cost more to insure than others, and the cost of a policy will depend on more than just a buyer’s personal driving history. The vehicle’s safety features, where a driver lives and the type of vehicle, both its make and model and the category it fits into (i.e., sports car, luxury vehicle, etc.), are all going to be used to determine the cost of an insurance policy.

Buyers also must consider how much a vehicle will cost to fuel up before making a final decision. Many a driver has grinned when driving a brand new SUV off a dealership lot, only to frown on that first trip to the filling station. Insurance companies typically provide free estimates to prospective customers, so do your homework on the different makes and models you’re considering,

getting an insurance quote for each vehicle. In addition, consider the expected fuel costs of each vehicle before making a decision.

* Reputation: Thanks to the Internet, today’s vehicle buyers have a valuable tool at their disposal that those of yesteryear rarely had: their fellow drivers. When considering certain makes and models, go online to see what fellow drivers and professional reviewers have to say about a given vehicle. Sites like Edmunds.com and Safecar.gov offer professional assessments of various makes and models, while various message boards exist to allow drivers to review the performance of their vehicles. Such resources are invaluable and can paint a realistic picture of what it might be like to own and drive a particular automobile.

* Resale value: While selling a car you don’t even own yet is probably not foremost on your mind, it is important to consider a car’s potential resale value before buying it. The

high costs of new vehicles has pushed many buyers out of the new car market, making preowned vehicles a more affordable and attractive option. So considering a car’s potential resale value before buying it new is a smart move that can pay dividends down the road when you’re back on the market for a new vehicle. Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) is a valuable resource to gauge the resale value of vehicles, and buyers can even calculate the resale value of a car over its first five years. This can help consumers determine which options to get on their new cars and even help to govern their driving habits in an effort to keep the vehicle’s resale value as high as possible.

When buying a new vehicle, it can be tempting to buy the most visually stunning or gadget-heavy vehicle on the dealership lot. But buyers should consider more than just appearance and accessories before buying their next new car.

Few decisions weigh as heavily on automobile owners as their choice of mechanic. A good mechanic goes a long way toward ensuring drivers and their passengers stay safe on the road and that those drivers’ vehicles perform at their peak for years to come. That’s an important role to play, and it’s why many drivers acknowledge that choosing a mechanic is a decision that should not be taken lightly.

Rest assured you don’t need to be a car guy or gal to find a trustworthy and talented mechanic. You might just need to open a dialogue with a prospective mechanic, discussing a handful of topics that can help you feel more comfortable and know

you have made the right choice in automotive service provider once a final decision has been made.

CertificationCertification can go a long

way toward helping drivers find mechanics they can trust. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence was founded in 1972 and continues to work to improve the quality of automotive service and repair by testing automotive technicians and certifying those who live up to or exceed ASE standards. An ASE-certified technician should have his or her credentials readily available to prospective customers, and these credentials list each professional’s

area of certification. When shopping for a new mechanic, make sure that he or she is ASE-certified. In addition, discuss with the mechanic his or her work history, including any additional areas of expertise.

Pricing policiesMany mechanics offer free

estimates, but that should not be taken for granted. When bringing a car in for an estimate, drivers should confirm with the mechanic who will conduct the examination if the estimate is free or if they will be charged an inspection fee.

In addition to any fees regarding estimates, drivers should also inquire about labor costs and the payment policies at the facility.

Labor can be quite expensive, so it’s best that you know these rates in advance of any repairs being conducted

on your vehicle. It’s also important to get a rundown of the company payment policies, especially if your vehicle is in need of potentially

costly repairs. You don’t want the bill to shock you once the work has been completed, so don’t hesitate to be inquisitive before leaving a car at the garage.

PartsReplacing parts on a vehicle is a

cause for concern for many drivers, and rightfully so. Consumer advocacy groups have exposed many mechanics who pass off used auto parts as new parts, charging their customers new part prices along the way. While there’s no way drivers can guarantee they won’t fall victim to such criminal behavior, they can inquire about company policies regarding vehicle parts. Does the garage even install used parts? If so, do they let drivers choose either new or used parts before any work is done? If the garage only uses new parts, ask for parts with solid warranties, so if the part must be replaced, you won’t have to pay for it again.

DocumentationThe preowned vehicle market is

thriving, and drivers who take care of their vehicles have earned the right to reap their rewards for being good owners when it comes time to sell the car. When interviewing prospective mechanics, ask if they are willing to provide detailed documentation of any work they do on your vehicle. Such documentation can then be shared with prospective buyers when you want to sell the car, and it also serves as a way to keep the garage accountable for all the work they have done on the car throughout your relationship.

Up in my grill Kate Kristiansen

A guide to culinAry hAppenings And seAsonAl food

By Kate KristiansenColumnist

Up in My Grill - Honeybees are important to our food supply. A surprising amount of our wellbeing relies on these underappreciated insects, but bees are dying off at unprecedented rate.

Local beekeeper Tom Kaemmer has been raising bees for over 35 years. Currently he is retired, but still manages a small production of approximately 100 hives that produce the brand Toba, a delicious golden honey.

I’m a honey lover; most mornings I slather a piece of toast with the sweet goodness, alongside a cup of tea. Once you discover the difference in taste in each droplet of his organically produced honey, there is no compromise.

This long winter can’t come to a close fast enough for this beekeeper. “The bees have been in a torpor state for some time,” says Kaemmer.

Torpor refers to the sleeping state the bees are in during the winter months.

“The bees are breathing and vibrate to keep warm. During the day, even at zero degrees they will leave the hive to stretch and flutter about,” explained Tom Kaemmer. “Bees are very clean. Fleeing the hive during the day is incredibly essential to all. Older bees will leave and die off. Young ones head back to their queen after a short break away.”

He explains that worker bees are attracted to the queen bee’s signature pheromone, which means they will always go back home to mama.

Pheromones can be secreted to trigger behaviors in all different animals. In the case of the bees, they to entice males back to the hives (their territory) and warn other females to back off and not lay eggs there.

In the fall, Tom Kaemmer packs the bees. “I wrap the bees with a blanket,” he explained. “It’s almost like a warm sock around the hives, with two small entrances for them to use.”

Any day now, when the snow disappears, Tom will head to his bee yards to check on the insects.

“This is an important time. The queen bees are laying their eggs. If we have another cold spell they may die off. The queen will not leave her eggs for anything. If she dies, the colony will die.”

The best place for a bee yard is on a south-facing slope, protected from the wind and next to a good

pasture.From August through to the end of October, Tom

will collect the honey boxes and take them to his honey house. He keeps the honey house heated us-ing a wood fire and dehumidifier. The bees remove most of the moisture. Tom will remove the caps from the top of the frames and begin to extract the honey. It is then processed through a different tank and strained through a government-certified cloth material into a heated container for retail use.

A typical uniform for Tom Kaemmer is a t-shirt and shorts. Has he been stung? “On occasion,” he said, “but really it’s not so bad after the pain sub-sides. It’s a warm tingly feeling and you swell up a bit.”

When asked if that is his biggest fear, he said, “No, my biggest fear is losing the bees.”

He and other local beekeepers are increasingly worried about the decline in bees. They’ve writ-ten to Premier Kathleen Wynn to encourage her to terminate the further use of neonicotinoids. These pesticides are currently banned in Europe, but not in Canada. Over 80 per cent of Canadian crops, which make up to a third our food supply, are affected by this decline in the bee population. Some bee keepers are reporting losses of 90 to 100 per cent of their bees.

Ontario beekeepers have had to bring in Austra-lian queen bees to support their hives. Their seasons are opposite to ours, so they are already beginning to produce eggs when they arrive.

Most Canadian bees are descended from Euro-pean bees and are gentle in nature. Recently, bee-keepers began trying to introduce a heartier bee that is mite resistant. The Varroa mite infestation, next to neonicotinoids, is the leading cause of the decline in the bee population.

“A queen bee will usually last one to two seasons. If you are lucky, maybe longer,” said Kaemmer. “When I get a new queen, I transfer some worker bees to a new hive and have them work together. It’s a delicate process, but it works.”

Commercial beekeepers look to plant farms that assist bees with pollinating, such as those with fields of buckwheat to support their bees. “I would stand up for any local beekeeper,” said Kaemmer. “They are producing quality honey.”

The average person can also help support the bee population by planting clovers, bergamot, mint, li-

lacs and even leaving dandelions and other weeds to sprout.

“I farm on my property and for the past five to six years also on the Groeneweagan farm at Limestone Creamery,” said Kaemmer. “There are benefits to both of us. The bees assist with crop development and the diversity of their pastures supports the bees. Francis Groeneweagn, owner of the Limestone Creamery will allow his sec-ond cut of stock to flower, which benefits the bees immensely.”

Kathie and Francis Groeneweagn and their children, Olivia and Patrick, opened the Limestone Creamery in 2012. Their farm is pesticide and herbicide free and their animals are given no antibiotics or GMOs. The honey farmed here is like liquid gold.

“I hate to predict the future of the bees,” said Tom. “It’s like someone cut-ting a hole in the side of your body and it never gets to heal.”

We can only hope that there is a change soon, in time to save the bees.

Toba Apiary produces raw, unpas-teurized liquid honey. It is available to purchase from Tara Natural Foods,

downtown Kingston at 81 Princess Street and the Limestone Creamery at 3127 Sydenham Road.

Enchanté Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world MarkBergin

Serving the community: not just a sloganBy Mark BerginColumnist

In the jaded world of politics, there is still hope and integrity at the local level. And nowhere is it clearer than in Adam Koven. It takes a lot to surprise me, but I was caught off guard when he announced his candidacy for a seat at the great horseshoe in Kingston City Hall.

Here’s a highly successful lad willing to enter that grueling sport known as politics, where on an average day, participants can take hits from every direction. All this while wearing no shin pads or protective head gear. Why on Earth would anyone decide to do this? We sat down together last week and I put him on the hot seat. At the end of the afternoon chat, it made sense.

“It’s a natural progression. I’m going to stay in this city. I love this city. What if I could actually do something that advances Kingston. I’m not just talking about business and commerce; culture, the arts, the outdoors, sports and recreation are all so important.”

His roots grow deeply in the Kingston soil. The decision to enter politics was consistent with a philosophy of caring. He currently serves on the boards of the Rotary Club of Kingston, United Way’s Fair for Friends, B’nai Brith Kingston and Theatre Kingston.

In the past, he’s served on such boards as the Boys and Girls Club, the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Kingston General Hospital Board of Governors and the University Hospital Foundation.

“I’ve grown up here and spent pretty much all my life here,” he says. “My upbringing taught me to work hard and to volunteer. My father introduced me to the Rotary Club. He and they taught me the Four-Way Test: Is it truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and will it be beneficial to everyone concerned?”

He says his family taught him about service above self. His parents lived by example.

“We work hard and we all want to do well,” he says. “We want to feel we’ve earned what we’re accomplishing. My mother has

always supported my goals but also led by example. She is a volunteer extraordinaire and public servant.”

I wondered what his family thought of his political aspirations, including what his late father Phil’s opinion might have been.

“If he was still alive, I think he and I would still be working on something together,” says Adam. “He supported everything I did. But I think he’d have liked working with me rather than sharing me with the City. I think he would have softly deterred me, but once my decision was made, he would have been my biggest supporter. I believe it’s more that he would have wanted to protect me. You stick your neck out, and you’re not going to please everybody.”

He says his siblings, Ken and Rebecca, back his decision.

“There’s always been a closeness. No matter what decision I make, they support it.”

And, perhaps most important, his children: Adam’s two daughters (16 and 12) and son (10) have been having discussions at the dinner table.

“I’ve been blessed with wonderful children,” he says. “It’s important that my kids are excited about this. I don’t know if they understand what it all entails. I think they may have the idea that it’s like Dad’s going to be on another board. At our table discussions, we’re starting to talk about municipal matters. It’s a great education for all of us.”

Adam Koven has worked in his family’s business for a couple of decades. Last year, he obtained his real estate licence and accepted a position with Royal LePage.

“When I was in my early 20s, I read The Wealthy Barber and Mordecai Richler’s Duddy Kravitz. I had to own a piece of dirt. I left Queen’s and started to buy real estate. I felt like I knew what I was doing and it felt natural. Twenty years later, I was looking at what I’d like to do next. I know I really enjoy meeting people and I liked helping them find what fits for their lifestyle. I’m geared for real estate.”

And, now, politics? He’s in a position to help bringing divergent interests together, especially with

younger citizens. “I attended Queen’s Commerce,”

he says. “I lived on University Avenue and in Vic Hall. I understand what it means to be a student here. We have RMC and St. Lawrence College, to include in the community, too. When students witness their city treating them as members, they’ll feel pride in their Kingston. I want to see that integration. Everyone has to sing from the same page. Everyone has to realize we live in a great city. Amazing things are coming out of Queen’s, RMC and St. Lawrence College. These institutions are producing a bulk of innovation, and, if Kingston can entice them, just maybe a few of those new start-ups will set up shop here. Will employ here. Will grow here.”

How does someone who works endlessly, but also manages to be a good father, keep perspective on his life? The answer is revealing. It says a lot about the man.

He explained that ten years ago, he weighed 245 pounds. After walking up a flight of stairs, he’d be out of breath.

“I stopped and looked at myself and thought, ‘You’re 32; are you waiting for the doctor to tell you that you’ve had your first heart attack?’ So, I lost 80 pounds, but knew it was all going to come back without exercise.”

A friend, Kyla Smith, got him running. He worked up to the Limestone half-marathon in Kingston. Next came a full marathon and, then, a triathlon.

“When I did the first triathlon, the K-Town Tri, I may have been the last guy out of the water, in the end, I was probably in the bottom 10%, but I was smiling. Then Kyla said, ‘Well of course you’ll just have to compete in an Iron Man.’”

His first Iron Man was at Lake Placid.

“My father was sick and dying, but we didn’t know it, when he witnessed me in my first Iron Man.”

Adam’s been running in Iron Man competitions for the past eight years. He’s competed in British Columbia, Mont Tremblant, Germany, Florida, Kentucky and Manhattan. He’s remained healthy. He runs an hour or two in the morning.

“There’s nothing but your inner voice and what you see around you. If I can get that activity going to start the day, everything else is going to fall into place. Then it’s time to be a businessman, be a father, do my daily routine. I have to maintain physical activity, a good balanced diet and get enough sleep. Doing all those things gives me balance.”

He’s not viewing his run for politics with rose-tinted glasses.

“I’m nervous about when I’m going to see my name in the paper and what’s going to be said. No matter what you do, there’s going to be something negative at some point. And I take that seriously. My father taught me that if a customer calls and

complains, that may be one person, but there are probably 50 people who feel that way. Every complaint has validity as long as it’s not destructive in its intent. If someone says I should have considered something, I’m going to listen and think, ‘Should I have considered that?’ If a person is willing to publicly serve, a person must be willing to publicly say, ‘I’m wrong’ sometime.”

That last sentence is refreshing to hear from a politician.

This next phase in Adam Koven’s life remarkably resembles his exercise regimen. He’s shown that he has the stamina to complete in the toughest Iron Man competitions. I expect that he’ll show us the same in politics.

Adam Koven, a candidate for Kingston City Council (Sydenham Dis-trict), says his decision to enter politics is a natural progression from other forms of serving the city he loves. Photo courtesy of Adam Koven

Athlete of the Week

By Mark KerrColumnist

Gazette Sports -- Aidan Stride, Dylan Pat-terson and Carter Matheson – the leaders of the Frontenac Falcons senior boys’ basketball team – laugh when told their squad looks like it was as-sembled on the ‘island of misfit toys.’ They don’t dispute the characterization. This wasn’t a team of roundball specialists. There were football play-ers, soccer players, and players who hadn’t even attended Frontenac the year before.

Early in the season, the team had about as much momentum as a toy train with square wheels on its caboose. Instead of waiting for a benevolent basketball Santa to save them, though, the mis-fits took it upon themselves to turn around their season. The result: a city title and a trip to the Ontario AAA championship.

“We did not have the talent and skill (of pre-vious seasons), but we did have a lot of heart,” said Stride, the team’s starting point guard. “We bought-in to working hard and rebounding.”

The Falcons found themselves deep in the De-cember doldrums, getting blown out of several tournament games and suffering a 22-point loss to La Salle in league play on Dec. 17.

“Once La Salle destroyed us, it made us realize there was competition and we would have to up our game if we are going to win,” Patterson said.

The Falcons returned from the Christmas break refreshed, turning in a couple of strong practices ahead of their home tournament. They knocked off La Salle in that competition and never looked back, winning every game until the Ontario championship.

“It’s the first time in my 14 years of coaching

at Frontenac that a team has gone from that stage, the lowest of the low, to winning a championship and having a special season,” said head coach Suche James.

What got the team to that point? Team chemis-try, according to James. He said a special trust de-veloped among the players as well as between the coaches and the players. They pushed each other to the limit in practice but didn’t allow that in-tensity to impact their relationships off the court. The work in the gym eventually paid off in the win column.

“(Assistant coach Jason) Wimmer said no one was going to make us any better other than ourselves and how hard we go in practice. Once we bought-in to that idea, everyone was going as hard as we could,” Patterson said.

James and his coaching staff used those prac-tices to adjust their system on the fly. Talk of changing things became a reality immediately after the La Salle loss. They developed a system that would rely on the strengths of the experi-enced players while incorporating the inexperi-enced cagers.

After being coaching adversaries for years, long-time friends James and Wimmer joined forces this season. Wimmer, the former coach of LCVI, served as an assistant along with Andy Ledoux.

“I learn a ton every season because of the peo-ple I coach with. This year, we talked about things I hadn’t talked about before. The chemistry with the coaching staff was as good as it was between the players. We learned a lot from each other and we were able to translate that to the kids,” James said.

Stride said he will carry the friendships with

him more so than the victories. “I will just remember the teammates. It was

such a close knit group of guys and there was never a conflict. We all got along but also pushed each other. We were good friends by the end of

it.”Do you know a young athlete or team that

Gazette Lifestyle – Andrew Marsh lives in L’Orignal, Ont., a small town on the Ottawa River:

“Hi Sherlock! I love your stories! My story is incredible. I had operated an auto body shop in Rigaud, Que., and last year, one of my customers told me about a Graham Hollywood that he and a partner had purchased. I had only a smattering of Graham knowledge but I asked my dad what car was built in 1940 with a supercharger and he knew Graham Hollywood, just like that!

“The owners brought the car to my shop. Someone had put in a Studebaker straight six with a GM automatic transmission but without a supercharger. They wanted to sell the car for $1,000. I fixed one guy’s Nissan and paid the other guy $500. The car was a field-find mess but I loved it. The speedo of the car says driving range, then you enter the danger zone. It has Cord good looks with reverse-hinged front doors. I joined the Graham Owners Club and found a guy in Victoria, B.C., who sold me all his extras: supercharged engine, tranny and differential, and I was ready to start restoring it.

“My mother became ill with stomach cancer and had to have surgery immediately. We went to the Montreal General and in a matter of days my Mum had successful surgery and when we went to see her in recovery, there were four people to a room.

One of the patients, a very nice lady named Mme. Gagne, asked me what I did for a living. I mentioned my auto shop and my Hollywood.

“She replied that her husband and she used to ride in a Hollywood, and if the interior was blue, which it was, it was my

car! I have since acquired the name of the owner in the ‘70s, Paul Sigouin. Mr. Gagne and Mr. Sigouin were the best of friends 35 years earlier! My Mum has been fine ever since and I hope to restore the Hollywood some day.”

The body comes from the front-wheel-drive Cord 810 and 812 of 1936 and ’37. When the Cord company went under, both Graham and Hupp decided to revive the Cord’s classic styling. Graham built the Hollywood in 1940-41 and Hupp built the Skylark. The Cord’s disappearing headlights were replaced with permanently mounted ones, and these new cars were rear-wheel drive, but there was no mistaking the Cord heritage.

Only a few Hollywoods and Skylarks were built before the Cord design died forever, but lives on in cars like the one Andrew Marsh owns and plans to have back on the road some day.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email [email protected] or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Gazette Arts – It’s no secret I’m a huge comic book fan. I get as excited as the next guy when the latest comic book movie comes out, but I still try to maintain some objectivity. Well prepare for frothing fan boy because objectivity went out the window for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

After the events of New York, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) goes to work with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) at S.H.I.E.L.D., but being a spy doesn’t sit well with Captain America. Fury tries to convince him they’re fighting the good fight, but Steve thinks S.H.I.E.L.D. is going too far. We’re giving up freedom for security.

As Steve is trying to figure out where he fits in Fury is attacked. Fury escapes and gets to Steve only to be shot by a mysterious assassin known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). Steve is left with an encrypted flash drive, and a message from Fury to trust no one.

Steve returns to S.H.I.E.L.D. to try and piece things together, but they try to arrest him for withholding information. Steve escapes, but is labeled a fugitive. Something is wrong and Cap has to figure it out. Fortunately the super spy,

Black Widow, is there to help the super soldier.

Steve and Natasha begin to uncover what’s on the flash drive, but it’s so much worse than they thought. Cap’s past has come back to haunt him. An old villain he thought long defeated has been hiding, planning,

and growing more powerful. If Captain America can’t find a way to stop them millions of people will die.

The word awesome originally meant to be filled with awe. A feeling of wonderment that made you feel insignificant while at the same time opened you up to the majesty of the universe. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is awesome. Dazzling special effects, sweeping visuals, larger-than-life characters, and heart pounding action are hallmarks of the super hero film. The Winter Soldier has all of that, but elevates it to the level of art. Where The Winter Soldier really shows the

evolution of the comic book movie is in the writing. This isn’t just an action extravaganza this is an incredible story with depth, intrigue and a real sense of drama.

Making it all real is an outstanding cast. Samuel L. Jackson has forever redefined the character of Nick Fury. Scarlett Johansson is stunning as the Black Widow. You couldn’t find a better fit for Falcon’s wings than Anthony Mackie. Sebastian Stan is the perfect Winter Soldier, and Robert Redford blew me away. As for the Captain himself? Chris Evans is Captain America. Nuff said.

Just like its paper counterpart the comic book movie is at its best when the visuals are every bit as great as the story. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a great movie.

Got an idea? Need a Market? Who you gonna call? GrindSpaceXLBy Hollie [email protected]

Heritage News – Sav Stratis and Dr. Jason Riley knew that they had a great product to offer the public with the hematoma detector Riley invented. The handheld device can quickly and easily be used to detect bleeding on the brain of a person who has experienced a head injury, greatly increasing the odds of the victim’s life being saved if in fact there is bleeding present.

What they needed were the tools to market the product to potential investors.

Enter GrindSpaceXL, an Ottawa-based organization that runs programs teaching start-up companies the most effective ways of presenting their products and services to the world. From the end of January to mid-March, GrindSpaceXL ran a 12-week program for local entrepreneurs, including Stratis and Riley, at Innovation Park. GrindSpace was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Innovation Park, Thales, Launch Lab, Invest Ottawa and KEDCO and was

supported by funding through the National Research Council of Canada’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP).

“We’ve run [the program] four times but this is our first time of taking it outside of Ottawa,” said GrindSpace co-founder Andrew Jackson. “It’s been very exciting.”

Each week, a different topic relevant to entrepreneurs interested in growth opportunities was covered.

“We help them with sales skills to help them get their first customers and be more effective generally from that stand point, how to develop business partnerships with other companies, how to identify their target market, how to develop business partnerships with other companies,” explained Jackson. “We also have a component that helps them get investor-ready. All sorts of things, really, you name it.”

Stratis, who is president of the company VitaPharma, which supplies U.S. manufactured biological buffers and custom solutions for the life sciences industry, said he and Riley learned a lot from the GrindSpace program.

“I run my own company and this opportunity [with Riley] came in so we ran with it. It’s been a great experience in terms of seeing like-minded people. It’s helped prepare us in terms of pitching to people and investors.”

Stratis added that the experience was also great for building excitement about business and entrepreneurial spirit.

“What I’ve learned is that there is money out there for ideas, and there’s government money out there. But it’s all competitive and a lot of it seems to be being in the right place at the right time. You need to network. You need to be speaking to everybody, doing presentations, sharpening up some of the skills that maybe I didn’t have before or wasn’t as good at. I learned that there are a lot of like-minded people out there that can push ideas along.”

Janice Mady, director of industry partnerships and Innovation Park, says that this is exactly the sort of initiative they want to see happening at Innovation Park.

“The innovation ecosystem includes many different players to

participate in advancing innovation and helping to commercialize discoveries and to get them to market,” she said. “This facility

is unique in that it’s got R&D infrastructure and it’s got a lot of gathering space infrastructure and a variety of resources.”

How open windows benefit the environment

Warm days full of sunshine give homeowners good reason to open windows and let fresh air into their homes. Not only can open windows boost mood and create an inviting living space, but open windows also can be good for the en-vironment.

* Open windows improve indoor air quality. Indoor air pollution has been described by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a primary environmental health problem. In-door air quality can be up to five times worse than outdoor air. In addition, the American Col-lege of Allergists states that 50 percent of all ill-nesses are caused by polluted indoor air. Because many homes are built to be air-tight to conserve energy and money, unhealthy levels of air pollut-ants can build up inside homes when windows remain closed. These pollutants may include radon gas, cigarette smoke, chemical fumes from paints and solvents and leached chemicals from modern building and furnishing materials. Opening windows for extended periods of time allows fresh air to spread throughout the home. Houseplants can also filter indoor air and make it healthier to breathe.

* Open windows reduce energy consumption. A cool breeze entering a home through open win-dows can reduce the temperature inside of a home without having to turn on fans or air conditioners. This not only helps individuals save money, but also it reduces reliance on electricity and fossil fuels. Opening several windows on opposite sides of the home can create a cross-breeze that will keep the home cool without the help of energy-guzzling appliances. Open attic vents can release hot air trapped inside the house as well.

* Open windows reduce reliance on chemical air fresheners. Fresh air can quickly remove odors from a home. These can include old cooking

smells, cigarette smoke, pet odors, or simply stale air. By opening windows, homeowners can clean the air in their homes naturally without covering it up with chemical air fresheners or other clean-ers. The fresh air itself may simply smell good, or this pleasant aroma can be enhanced by blooming flowers or other natural scents from outdoors.

* Open windows cut down on use of cleaning products. A home that never gets any fresh air can quickly succumb to allergens such as dust, dan-der and soot, necessitating the use of vacuums and other cleaning tools and products. But open windows can greatly reduce the buildup of such allergens, and therefore reduce reliance on appli-ances that guzzle energy or products that release harmful chemicals into the air.

Open windows allow fresh air to flow through-out a home, improving personal health and ben-efitting the environment at the same time.

2014How to inspect for roof damage

Many homeowners do not think twice about their roofs. But when leaks devel-op, roof repairs and the subsequent costs of such work shed light on how impor-tant it is for homeowners to pay closer attention to the roofs over their heads.

Though certain roof issues, like shingles lost to inclement weather, are unforeseeable, many problems can be avoided with routine roof inspection. Checking roof conditions twice a year can help homeowners avoid potentially costly repair work or even more expen-sive roof replacement projects.

Spring is a good time to inspect roofs, which are often at the mercy of harsh conditions throughout the winter. Heavy snow, ice and biting winds can do signifi-cant damage, making spring the perfect time to assess if any such damage oc-curred and address any issues.

* Start the inspection in the interior of the home. Before breaking out the ladder and climbing up to the roof, in-spect the home’s interior, pinpointing potential problems that may indicate roof damage. Check for stains on the ceiling which may indicate leaks that need to be addressed. Homeowners with attics should enter their attics and look for signs of water damage, mak-ing note of any damp or wet insula-

tion. This will let you know if water has been entering the attic all winter. Pay attention to the location of any wet spots or stains so you can match them up to the exterior of the roof later on. Musty smells also may be indicative of moisture problems, even if there are no visible leaks.

* Inspect the roof outside. Grab a set of binoculars and inspect the exterior of the roof. Look at the roof flashing, in-cluding around the chimney and other areas of protruding pipes and vents. If the flashing is warped or damaged, mois-ture might be settling underneath. Seal-ant around dormers or skylights can also degrade, resulting in leaks. Check for spalling on masonry, such as the mortar of chimneys. Porous areas will allow wa-ter to infiltrate.

* Go directly on the roof and check. Work with a partner and carefully climb on the roof while someone holds the ladder below. Walk on the perimeter of the roof, looking for peeling or warped shingles, missing shingles, holes, or scrapes. If the roof is compromised in any way, it will need to be repaired. The problem will only grow more significant and repairs more expensive if damage is ignored. Sometimes a repair can be as simple as patching a leak with a new

shingle and roofing cement. Popped nails can be pounded down and any curled shingles can be nailed or cemented back into place.

* Consult a roofing expert. If you are unsure if your roof has made it through the winter unscathed and would like a second opinion or if you find there is considerable damage, contact a roofing contractor. This person will offer a pro-

fessional assessment of what can be re-paired or if the roof should be replaced. If your roof is metal or features clay tiles, you may not have the expertise to make repairs yourself and will need to hire a professional.

* Check the gutters, too. While you are up on the roof, inspect the gutters and downspouts as well. Cracked or damage gutters will cause water to leak

down the side of the home, potentially damaging the foundation. Clear any debris or leftover leaves from the gut-ters to ensure the rain can wash through unobstructed.

A post-winter roof inspection can protect homeowners and their families from the elements and reduce the likeli-hood of potentially costly repairs down the road.

Puzzle PageHOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, you may need to come up with some new ways to show your affection, as your old ways are starting to fall short. Look to Leo for inspiration.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, a few kinks still need to be worked out, but your master plan will soon be in place. Start putting the wheels in motion and your work won’t go unrecognized.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, you are great at creating a good time out of nothing at all. Get together with a few friends and let the good times roll. Others may envy this talent.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – You have a rare opportunity to show off your skills this week, Cancer. When your talents are on display, don’t worry about hogging that spotlight. Enjoy your time in the limelight.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Take some time for quiet inspiration, Leo. It is just what you need after a busy week in which your stamina was put to the test. Rest and recharge for a few days.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Tasks at work have certainly tried your pa-tience, Virgo. Just when you are settled in, you get pulled in another direction very quickly. Save up those vacation days.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – It’s time to lighten up, Libra. Throw a party, take a trip or hang out with friends. Just be sure to focus on fun and let other concerns fall by the wayside for a little while.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, do your best to get all of your ducks in a row this week. Keep distractions at bay and don’t allow social engagements to take precedence over more pressing matters.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, you will have to remain two steps ahead of everyone else to get a project done this week. Things are moving quite quickly now, so make every minute count.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – A challenge is on the horizon, Capricorn. But remain calm and you will handle every challenge that comes your way. Aries provides some extra help.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, some may call you stubborn, but “dedicated” might be a more appropriate term. Once your mind is set, it is hard to pull you off course, and this week is no different.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – You have plenty of energy to carry you through to the weekend, Pisces. A big surprise is in store in the com-ing days.

Charlie the CatCharlie came to the shelter

through no fault of his own. He was surrendered with another cat and would likely enjoy the company of other cats. Charlie was quite shy when he was first

settling into the shelter, but is slowly coming out of his shell. He is a very sweet, quiet cat

and very affectionate once he feels comfortable. Charlie is a handsome orange tabby who is about two years old and already neutered. Charlie is eligible for our VIP program so his adoption

Gazette News – On October 10, 2012, 15 year-old Amanda Todd died by sui-cide. After years of struggling with de-pression and dealing with cyber bullying in multiple schools, Todd posted a video to Youtube about her struggles and then took her own life.

Now, Todd’s mother Carol, still strug-gling with the death of her daughter, speaks at conferences about her experi-ences. She hopes that through sharing her story she can help prevent cyber bullying and maybe even save lives.

“I think it is important to share my sto-ry because there are so many other fami-lies and professionals and kids out there that need to hear the full story and learn from my person experiences,” said Todd. “I think we learn best from personal expe-riences so if I can share that and help the message remain strong then I am going to do that.”

Carol Todd was the keynote speaker at a recent conference in Kingston en-titled ‘Social Media, Sexual Violence and Youth’. The conference was organized by the Kingston, Frontenac Anti-violence Coordinating Committee (KFACC), a group that works to reduce domestic and sexual violence through training, aware-ness, education, and collaborative oppor-tunities. This year, to recognize Victim’s Awareness Week, KFACC felt that it was time to focus on youth and really get to the bottom of why cyber bullying is such an issue.

“I think the first step is naming it for what it is and not minimizing these be-haviours by calling it sexting or youth bullying when in reality it is all sexual

violence,” said Julie Lalonde, a public educator working with the Draw the Line campaign on topics of sexual violence prevention, specifically geared toward youth. “We also need to be speaking tan-gibly with young people, we can’t just tell them not to do it. There are other issues like coercion and the issues of bystanders. If you receive a naked photo text you have a choice to make, you can either continue to perpetuate the sexual violence or you can step up and say this is not okay.”

Lalonde also spoke at the conference and while some find her approach quite jarring, her main objective is to educate youth on how to use the internet and so-cial media effectively. It is clear that the internet is not going anywhere, explained Lalonde, but youth really need to be taught how to use it as a positive and ef-fective tool.

Todd certainly echoed Lalonde’s points and urges parents to try to watch what their children are doing, but also urges them to learn to use the tools them-selves.

“Parents should be trying to monitor, although that is extremely difficult with a teenager, but parents need to learn how to use social media and see what it’s all about,” said Todd. “They don’t have to be experts, but they should know what Snapchat does and the potential damage it can do. Then they need to have conver-sations with their kids and their friends about what is appropriate and what isn’t and then be there as a support.”

While both Lalonde and Todd ac-knowledge that these conversations and approaches are sometimes difficult, they are essential in making the internet a safe place for youth and for adults too. Many have suggested that cutting social media

out of the lives of teenagers may be the best solution, but Lalonde thinks this would be a big mistake.

“I think telling people to go off of so-cial media is ridiculous and in this world that we live in now, you have to have a presence online. When you interview for a job they look you up online to see how tech savvy you are or to see what your writing is like on your blog and if you don’t have that presence then you may lose that job,” explained Lalonde. “The idea to unplug and that will prevent these issues is the same as saying stay home from work if you are experi-encing workplace sexual harassment. We need to focus on educating and adapting respon-sibly, not shutting down.”

Todd agrees with these ideas and adds that, “The biggest issue is get-ting kids to listen and getting their caregivers to listen. What happened to Amanda could hap-pen to any kid and their family and we can’t ignore that. The issue is not just about social media, it is about how peo-ple treat each other and that really needs to change.”
