NFCS, SFCS announce joint homelessness and hospice/palliative care programsBy Craig BakayReporter

News — Northern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS) and Southern Frontenac Com-munity Services (SFCS) are partnering on two new initiatives, the respective executive direc-tors of both organizations told Central Fronte-nac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

“We now have two staff members for our homelessness prevention program, which we’ve administered for eight years,” said David Townsend, SFCS director. “The second initia-tive is the expansion of our hospice and pallia-tive care program.”

Townsend said that last year, they helped 216 households through the homelessness pre-vention program.

“There were 30 households from Central Frontenac and 12 from North Frontenac with the rest (174) from South Frontenac,” he said. “(But) this year, we’ve helped 12 families so far with only five from South Frontenac.

“We have an invisible homeless situation,” he said. “It involves couch surfing, living in boarded up cottages, hunt camps or even an empty trailer at the end of a lane.”

“How are you getting referrals, i.e., finding the people who need help?” said Coun. Tom Dewey.

“That’s the million dollar question,” said Townsend. “We have a budget of about $54,000 a year that we can distribute.

“A lot of our low income families don’t re-ally know how to approach us but now that we have two staff members, we can keep a lot more

people in their homes.” “Sometimes other agencies such as The

Childcare Centre know of families that need help,” said Catherine Tysick, NFCS director. “Sometimes we get referrals from Seniors Ser-vices but the Rural-Kingston Health Link and the doctors there are aware of our services and we have had a lot of hospice/palliative care re-ferrals from them.”

Coun. Bill MacDonald asked about non-profit housing and rent-geared-to-income pro-grams.

“Non-profit housing is very distinct,” said Townsend. “But we now have access to rent-geared programs.

“There are no centres in North or Central Frontenac but we now have motel chits.”

Mayor Frances Smith said she’s on the homelessness committee for Frontenac County and one of the problems they’ve been facing is knowing what rental properties are out there.

“Most rental properties in the north are filled by word of mouth,” she said. “We’re trying to get a handle on it by creating a landlord list.

“As for hospice houses, Madoc has one and it’s wonderful.”

Coun. Brent Cameron asked about help with hydro costs “I know it’s trendy to talk about the cost of utilities.”

“We’ve had 37 Hydro Leap applications this year,” said Townsend. “It’s a huge pressure on our budget and I don’t see it ending.

“Some time-of-use metres are not working properly and it’s a huge and growing problem.

“It’s starting to get better and we’re learning to be middlemen, gaining cooperation in nego-tiating repayment over time schemes.”

Central signs agreement to purchase property for new Hinchinbrooke Fire HallBy Craig BakayReporter

News — Central Frontenac Township has signed and agreement to purchase a piece of prop-erty that will become the new Hinchinbrook Fire Hall, Mayor Frances Smith announced at Council’s regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

Although just what that new fire hall will look like is still a bit up in the air, preliminary drawings show a four-bay garage with a large meeting/con-ference room, washrooms, three offices (chief, dis-patch and a spare), a kitchen and storage areas.

However, the drawings also show a 1,000 square foot community centre, which theoreti-cally could hold a library.

And speaking of the library in Parham, CAO/Public Works Manager Jim Zimmerman said he’d been in contact with the Limestone District School Board and they have agreed to an extension of the lease on the portable at the former Hinchinbrooke Public School for six months.

“They (the school board) would expect the municipality to pick up any incidental costs,” Zimmerman said. “The CEO of the Library has indicated that they are just going to stay there un-til they’re kicked out (the current lease is up June 1).”

• • • Resident Randy McCullough told Council he

was concerned about the dumping of snow on the Parham Fairgrounds.

“I am very concerned with the snow being dumped on the Fairgrounds,” he said. “Initially I did not think much of this issue but over the last few years, I find that my hay field across the road has been dying off (and) now I am finding there is an increasingly larger area that I am having to replant almost yearly.

“Secondary to the field issue, I am concerned about salt getting into the water table in that

area.” “I don’t know how much snow gets dumped

there but we’ll get a report done,” said Mayor Frances Smith.

“We have to put our snow somewhere,” said CAO/Public Works Manager Jim Zimmerman. “We will look at the potential environmental im-pact as part of the salt/snow program Ministry guidelines.”

• • • Karen Lahey of Villages Beautiful wants to put

up some banners on municipally-owned signs in Crow Lake welcoming visitors and asking them to slow down.

It turned out to be a bigger deal than she ex-pected, even though they have six banners already made and volunteers lined up to install and main-tain them.

“I think this is a good idea but we should refer it to public works,” said Coun. Tom Dewey.

“There are some implications for the public works department and we need a process to deter-mine which signs are appropriate and which are not,” said CAO/Public Works Manager Jim Zim-merman. “I don’t mean to suggest I’m not in sup-port of this project but once you approve private signs, you open it up for anyone who wants to put up a sign on public land.

“There was a sign policy introduced to a pre-vious Council that wasn’t passed. Without the proper language in place, we could be accused of swaying one way or another.”

Coun. Bill MacDonald remembers that de-bate.

“I hope I’m in the middle of a long vacation if this comes up again,” he said. “There are a lot of issues.

“I say approve this one only and let them maintain it.”

At the Mayor’s suggestion, Council approved these signs on a trial basis for 2015.

Speed limit on Road 38 south around Evergreen Road to stay 80 km/hBy Craig BakayReporter

News — The posted speed limit on Road 38 between the southern entranc-es to Evergreen Road to a point 100 metres north of the Hydro One trans-mission facility will remain 80 km/h, Central Frontenac Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Shar-bot Lake.

However, Council is prepared to do some additional brushing to improve sightlines and make School Bus Stop Ahead signs available for $100 each (including installation).

Staff was instructed to look into

the feasibility of a reduced speed limit (to 60 km/h) after residents contacted Coun. Brent Cameron with their con-cerns. Cameron raised the issue at a previous meeting.

“We came to the conclusion that reducing speeds there would be prob-lematic for us,” said CAO/Public Works Manager Jim Zimmerman. “That road was designed to be safe at speeds greater than 80 km/h and this situation doesn’t comply with Ministry of Transportation standards for reduc-ing speeds.

“Plus, if we did it here, we’d have to look at all areas where the school bus stops.”

There was also some unease with parents that trucks going into and out of the Hydro One facility created ad-ditional concerns.

In his report, Zimmerman noted that Hydro One has the proper advi-sory signs in place warning motorists of trucks turning both north and south of the facility.

“The corner is marked prior to en-tering it both from both southern and northern directions with curve advi-sory signs indicating an intersection which is Evergreen Road,” he said. “The corner also has chevrons indicat-ing the curve to southbound traffic.”

Zimmerman said the there is more

than 220 metres of clear sight line trav-elling southbound from north of the intersection.

“The Township can further increase this with some minor brushing,” he said.

He said that even though admin-istration suggests the sightline is fine, if the residents would still like School Bus Stop Ahead signs, in accordance with Township Resolution # 62 (Feb. 15, 1999), they can be purchased for $100 each, which includes installa-tion.

“According to the Ontario Traffic Manual (Book 6), the recommended minimum stopping distance for school bus signs on an 80 km/h roadway is

185 metres,” he said. Cameron seemed satisfied with the

answer. “At the end of the day, we have to

comply with what the rules are and the evidence is,” Cameron said. “For all con-cerned, I think this is a good solution.”

Coun. Bill MacDonald, who has had considerable experience with these kinds of requests, agreed.

“I concur with your recommenda-tions,” MacDonald said. “I remember from days before there had to be a cer-tain number of houses involved (for a reduced speed limit).”

“I didn’t see that in the sections I reviewed,” said Zimmerman.

537Viking Cuts for Cancer

raises over $4,700By: Misti Harnden

Letter – On April 29, North Add-ington Education Centre, a small, rural K-12 school in Cloyne, Ontario, held a Cuts for Cancer event. This event is currently ranked third for all Cuts for Cancer fundraisers online across On-tario.

Three students (Alexus Wagner, Sel-ena Pelicos and Terri-Lynn Rosenblath) and three teachers (Melissa Randle, Krista Walker and Leanne Shepherd) had their hair cut by local hairdresser Teri Woods.

In addition to the over $4,000 col-lected for the hair cutting event, funds were raised by a silent auction, talent show and money jar campaign.

Event organizer Melissa Randle

stated, “I am so proud of everyone in-volved in this fundraiser. I’m ecstatic that we were able to exceed our original $3,000 goal.”

During the Viking Cuts for Cancer event over three feet of hair was cut to be donated. There was a tie for the money jar campaign winner. Tim Pelow and Josh Goodfellow shaved their legs, Edna Lessard begrudgingly wore a To-ronto jersey and Leanne Shepherd ate a live worm. Although not the win-ners, Katie Ohlke got a makeover by a student, Candice Bovard will wear her hair in a Mohawk and Valerie Allan will take part in a pie in the face event.

To date, over $4,700 has been raised for the Canadian Cancer Society. To sponsor this event, visit http://goo.gl/4WsMa8 (the link is currently still active).

In Our Opinion

As temperatures rise, don’t forget about pets

Editorial – Most of us are happy to see consistently warmer tem-peratures outside, but with those temperatures come some precautions, especially when it comes to pets.

Humidity and hot temperatures can make everyone uncomfortable; unfortunately our pets don’t have the ability to drink a cold beverage whenever they want or take off a layer of clothing to cool off. Here are five tips to remember when caring for our furry friends throughout the warmer months:

1) Never leave your pets in a parked car – this may seem fairly obvi-ous, but each summer more and more news reports of pets being locked in hot cars surface. It is not acceptable to leave your pet in the car for any amount of time, event with the windows open.

2) Watch the humidity – the extra heat that comes with humidity can affect animals just as much as it affects humans. Animals pant to evapo-rate moisture from their lungs and take heat away from their body. If the humidity is too high, they are unable to cool themselves. Keep an eye on pets through humidity spells and when in doubt take their temperature, it shouldn’t go over 40 degrees Celsius.

3) Limit exercise on hot days – you don’t want to take a really long run during a heat wave and neither does your dog. Adjust intensity and duration of exercise in according to the temperature. On very hot days, limit exercise to the morning or evening and always carry water with you to keep your dog from dehydrating.

4) Provide ample shade and water - any time your pet is outside, make sure he or she has protection from heat and sun and plenty of fresh, cold water. In heat waves, add ice to water when possible.

5) Watch for signs of heatstroke - signs of heatstroke are heavy pant-ing, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vom-iting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizures and unconsciousness. In case of heatstroke, move the animal to an air-conditioned area, apply ice packs to their head, neck and chest or run cool water over them.

Above all, it is important to remember that animals don’t have the ability to tell us when they are overheating. As pet owners it is our responsibility to watch their cues; while you may want your pet with you for all of your summer adventures, sometimes it is best for them to stay inside.

So, you say you want to be a musician? Here are five things you should keep in mind

Column —As the school year winds down, graduating classes start thinking about how they in-tend to make a living. For many, this will involve further education at the university or community col-lege level.

For some (and you all know who you are), the prospect of becoming a professional musician will hold great appeal.

And while nobody wants to pee on somebody’s barbecue, the reality of it is that fewer than one per cent of those who give it a shot manage to make it a life-long career. It’s a tough row to hoe and the deck’s stacked against you.

But, that being said, chasing a dream is one of those inalienable rights we human beings like to

think we’re endowed with at birth, so go for it.

But, there are five things you should know going in besides the aforementioned fact that it’s argu-ably the toughest profession to be successful at.

If you really want to know what 1. a musician is, here’s a definition that’s been proven over and over again: a musician is someone who loads $2,000 worth of gear into a $500 car to drive 100 miles for a $50 gig. Been there, done that far too many times to count.It takes talent but that’s hardly 2. the most important factor. What it takes more is desire and that manifests itself into two compo-nents — the ability to pick your-self up and keep going when you get knocked down and the desire to keep ‘practising.’ All great musicians practice a lot. It’s just the nature of the beast. Whether it’s playing scales (scales are you friends believe it or not) or just jamming out on a daily ba-

sis, you need to do it. If you find you don’t like ‘practising,’ call it ‘rehearsing,’ but the point is the idea that nobody (except maybe Mozart) has ever picked up an instrument and started playing Flight of the Bumblebee without putting in the work to learn a few things.You’re not going to be able to 3. play only the stuff you want to in the beginning. Yes, you should play things you like and enjoy playing but if you want to get paid for it, you’re going to have to play some things people want to hear. That being said, there isn’t enough money in the world to get me to play a Justin Bieber song and I’m pretty sure I’ve played Folsom Prison Blues for the last time ever.You don’t need a great instru-4. ment. You do need something decent but it doesn’t have to be a top-of-the-line Les Paul to work. There’s a story about how some guys in the band hid Charlie

Community Living wants people to know they’re in the communityBy Craig BakayReporter

News — It’s a Tuesday noon hour in Sharbot Lake.

The sounds of a saxophone and guitar waft over the downtown section. It rained heavily earlier that morning, but things cleared and now there’s a hint of barbecue beef and hot dogs in the air.

Everyone in town is invited to Community Living — North Frontenac (CL-NF) for their annual barbecue.

“Each year, CL-NF hosts a variety of activi-ties in and around the community of Sharbot Lake to create awareness and education with re-gards to CL-NF and developmental services in general,” says Executive Director Dean Walsh. “We here at CL-NF have one goal in mind and that is to ensure that all people live in a state of dignity and are involved in all aspects of com-munity.”

May is Community Living Month and the barbecue is just one of the events/activities the local chapter is involved in.

“We went to the Legislature and met with all three provincial parties,” he said. “The event was hosted by Community Living Ontario and allowed us to be visible to the MPPs and they encouraged us to meet with our own MPP over the course of the next year.

“We’re hoping to create a rapport but you can’t do everything overnight.”

For those unaware of what they do, Commu-nity Living is an organization that helps people with developmental disabilities integrate into communities. In many cases that involves find-ing suitable housing, a job and/or funding to assist and empower family members to keep

clients in their own homes. One issue that’s creating problems for the

organizations is a clawback of a monthly $100 payment and Walsh said they wanted the politi-cal parties to be aware of that.

“When a family member gets empowered to take action, it’s more important than any agen-cy,” he said. “I’d like to introduce some of the MPPs to some of our people to see what daily living is like for them.”

Walsh said he thinks the smaller commu-nities are better for people with developmen-tal disabilities, particularly in terms of being healthy because people in the community tend to take care of them.

CL-NF doesn’t run any group homes but it does offer 24/7 support and helps in other ways.

“Group homes have huge extra overhead that we don’t need,” he said. “We help people sign leases and such and landlords know that we are here to help.”

Another thing he’d like to see is more busi-nesses taking advantage of existing government programs to help his people get a job.

“There are lots of government incentives to train people with developmental disabilities,” he said. “Gray’s Grocery and Subway have used them.

“There are some imaginative jobs to be had in the community.”

But mostly, it’s about helping people fit in, which includes things like bowling and Special Olympics.

“We try not to enforce our values, ethics or beliefs on those we support,” he said. “We’d like people in power to see how their decisions impact those at ground level.

“And we want people to know we’re here.”

Look, dad, I’m going to be in the Pan Am Games!

By Hollie [email protected]

Column - He’ll never admit it, but I think my dad was always a little disappointed I wasn’t more of an athlete growing up.

Pretty much everyone on my dad’s side of the family is gifted at one sport or another. When my cousins and I were younger, holiday dinner tables were always buzzing with conversation regarding whose hockey or ball team had recently won what tournament, how many goals they had scored, etc. One of my cousins even played in the OHL, and two played softball at national and international levels. Needless to say, there was never really a good time to bring up all the nerdy, bookish stuff I was into.

I did play basketball for a few years and showed a small amount of potential. My dad was absolutely thrilled – basketball was one of his best sports in high school – and he jumped at the opportunity to coach my team. Still, while I was always one of the better players on the ‘second line’, I was rarely called up to play with the kids who were actually good. My dad told me this was because I was one of a bunch of girls who were at about the same level, and it would look like favouritism if he put his own daughter on the first line. I accepted this because a) I liked being one of the best players on my line and b) I didn’t really care all that much, which is probably one of the main reasons I never excelled at sports in the first place.

But none of that matters now because little did any of us know at that time that my athletic moment of glory would come years later in 2015, when the Pan Am Games came to Toronto.

That’s right, this summer I will officially be par-ticipating in the games. Not as an athlete, mind you, but as a torchbearer for the great city of Kingston. The opportunity came about because TorStar/Metro-land, which owns the Kingston Heritage and Fron-tenac Gazette, is the official print and online media supplier of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

Honestly, it’s a little humbling considering my fellow torchbearers include people like Olympic gold medalist (and fellow KCVI graduate) Simon Whitfield and agelessly sexy Canadian music legend Jim Cuddy – but I’m trying not to focus on the in-timidating aspect of it. Being a torchbearer for such a prestigious, high profile event is a huge honour and an opportunity that only comes about once in a life-time. How could I possibly turn it down?

So on July 2, I will don a snazzy orange and white uniform to carry a 1.2 kilogram, 65-centimetre torch 200 metres in front of international media. Yes, it’s a little nerve-racking, but if I can perform a hip hop routine in front of hundreds of people for Dancing with the Easter Seals Stars I can hopefully carry a torch this short distance without tripping or acciden-tally setting something on fire.

Anyway, I sure hope my dad feels proud when he sees me carry the torch, because this is as close to athletic glory as I’ve ever been or will be in the future.

The Pan Am Torch Relay begins May 30 in Teoti-huacan, Mexico; it will travel through more than 130 communities and involve more than 3,000 torchbear-ers. The Pan Am Games take place July 10 – 26 in Toronto. To learn more, visit www.toronto2015.org.

UHKF announces new fall fundraising campaign chairBy Mandy [email protected]

News – Keeping Kingston’s hospitals up to date, current and competitive can be a difficult task, but the University Hospitals Kingston Foun-dation (UHKF) works hard to make this happen.

This fall, UHKF will launch a new fundrais-ing campaign in support of major capital projects at Kingston’s hospitals and on May 11, they an-nounced the chair of this campaign: Susan Creasy will take on the task and with the help of volun-teers and the community, she hopes to make the new campaign a success.

“I think that we as a community are very strong and when the call for help goes out people jump,” said Creasy at the campaign announcement at Providence Manor. “I believe the opportunity to have state of the art operating facilities at KGH and at Hotel Dieu is something we should really be proud and excited about.”

Creasy, owner of Susan Creasy Finaical Inc., has been a long time supporter of Kingston and the surrounding area’s health care facilities and has been recognized for a number of philanthrop-ic achievements. She has worked on the Rose of Hope golf tournament supporting the Cancer Cen-tre of Southeastern Ontario and has also been on the board of directors for KGH.

“I understand what the hospitals need and I think it is our duty to support them,” she said. “We work in Kingston and we should give back to Kingston.”

While the fundraising campaign doesn’t offi-cially kick off until the fall, Creasy wanted to “get

the needle moving in the right direction” and an-nounced a personal gift of $100,000 over the next five years.

“My interest is to put the funds towards the MRI project at KGH and the two capital campaign projects at Hotel Dieu and Providence Care,” she said. “We have a huge opportunity here and I hope I don’t need the hospitals in the future, but if I do I want to be in a state of the art operating room.

Creasy was joined by Ian Wilson, chair of the board of directors for UHKF, at the announce-ment. Wilson has chaired the Together We Can campaign for UHKF in the past and explained to those in attendance how important these cam-paigns are to the hospitals.

“When you go out to raise funds you hear noth-ing but thank you over and over again,” said Wil-son. “Everyone gives because of the wonderful care they have received and the wonderful care they hope to receive in the future. It is a meaning-ful way for them to say thank you.”

Creasy will soon be calling on the community and seeking volunteers to join the campaign ef-fort this fall. She knows that there is a lot of work ahead, but she is confident that this campaign will be just as successful as previous campaigns.

“I think we deserve the best. We’ve got a great community and they always step up and support causes,” she said. “We’ve shown that we can do it with past campaigns and I certainly believe that we can accomplish this during this campaign too.”

ENCHANTÉ

Queen’s grad keeps tradition alive

Enchanté – When Mariah Beahen steps onto the stage to receive her Bachelor of Arts Degree during the upcoming Queen’s University graduation ceremonies, she will continue a family tradition that started just 30 years after Canada’s Confederation.

She’ll be wearing the traditional Queen’s University gown, hood and cap that has been in her family for more than a century.

The tradition precedes radio, television, space exploration and the Internet.

The style of dress prescribed for graduation dates back several centuries to the everyday garments of medieval clergy. Although its use has been frowned upon in days gone by, the term academic regalia is increasingly used to describe the fashion of clothing mandated for graduation ceremonies.

Those opposing the term regalia consider that it should be reserved for royalty, royal occasions and royal jewels. But some traditions change. There is a tendency, especially in non-monarchist countries, to view those who frown on the use of the term as stodgy and archaic.

“My grandfather’s brother, John Henry Dolan, first wore the hood in 1897,” said Karen Dolan, Mariah’s mother. “His wife, Laura Nugent, was the first to wear the gown—in 1903. Thirteen Dolan relatives have graduated wearing the hood, gown and cap, or some combination.”

In 1898, George Robert Dolan, Mariah’s great grandfather received his Bachelor of Arts while wearing the hood.

The first time the gown and hood were worn together was in 1924 when Kathleen Dolan, John’s daughter, received her Bachelor of Arts.

In 1944, Mariah’s grandfather, Dr. Ronald Dolan, wore the family’s Queen’s regalia. His daugther, Laurie (Mariah’s aunt), wore it in 1972.

When John Henry Dolan first wore the hood 1897, little did he know that the tradition would continue in a new millennium.

On June 8, Mariah Beahen will carry on the family tradition.

Karen Dolan herself regrets to this day that she did not wear the gown for her own Queen’s graduation.

“I see the excitement that Mariah has,” she said. “I’m happy that my children like the tradition. Mariah values this. I think that’s really important.”

Although Mariah Beahen is honoured now, she said that at first she was a little leery.

“Earlier this year, my nana started getting excited about it,” said Mariah. “She’s spent a lot of time preparing our family tree. At first, when I knew about [the Queen’s hood and gown] I was under the impression it might be

a grey, old, moth-eaten thing. But when I got it in my hands a couple of weeks ago, I saw it was in beautiful condition.”

She explained that when she opened the carefully wrapped package containing the graduation regalia, she was astonished by the care that went into the preservation.

“That care is evident in its pristine condition today,” she said. “What truly induced my strong sense of pride was running my finger along the B.A. graduation hood first worn by my great grandfather’s brother in 1897, and reading the signatures of my past relatives who have worn it at their convocations over the years.”

She said that as a fourth generation family member to do this she feels extraordinarily honoured to share the unique experience of receiving her diploma in the same traditional

wear of her ancestors.She thinks it’s quite similar to

today’s regalia, aside from some embroidery on the arm.

Mariah’s mother fondly remembers her own time as a student at Queen’s.

“Growing up, I enjoyed the stories my father used to tell me about his time in Queen’s Medicine

in the 1940s, and I still feel nostalgic when I drive by Ontario Hall and remember my days in the Queen’s Fine Art program. Now, as a parent, I cherish special family traditions. I am deeply touched that Mariah will be the first of the fourth generation to honour this important Dolan family tradition.”

Despite having an older brother and sister, Mariah will be the first of her generation to wear the heirloom regalia. Only those who graduate from Queen’s can wear the specific

colours of the graduation clothing. Neither of her siblings attended Queen’s. Mariah almost missed out. Following her graduation from Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute, she was accepted at McGill University in Montreal. But after completing some of her academics at McGill, Mariah transferred to Queen’s University

in 2013 to complete her B.A., majoring in economics, with a minor in sociology.

In addition to her studies, Mariah also dedicated herself to work in the community. During her second year of studies, she became involved on a fundraising committee for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and she served as a model in a fundraising fashion show. In her third year, she was also involved in modelling, in choreography and on the executive. Throughout her university days, during the summer, she’s worked at Wooden Heads Gourmet Pizza and is doing that again this year.

Mariah’s not sure what’s next vocationally, but she’s seriously considering working as a financial advisor in an uncle’s company.

The Dolan family has other interesting connections to Queen’s University. in 1992, Kathleen (Kay) Dolan’s estate established the Dolan Scholarship in the amount of $1,500,000.

“Most of my aunts who wore the gown became school teachers,” said Karen Dolan. “Two of them had all this money when they died and they’d enjoyed Queen’s so much that they donated their money to the university. Now, students benefit every year. [Kathleen] insisted that the scholarship be set up so that the money was invested, with the interest on the capital funding the scholarship program.”

As for the hood, gown and cap, after Mariah’s graduation it’s unclear what happens to what are historically valuable items.

“My nana thought it should go to Queen’s Archives,” said Mariah. “But my mom’s thinking that perhaps we should hold onto it. I’m inclined to agree. What if my kids go to Queen’s?”

There could be yet another generation from the Dolan lineage to don 19th century Queen’s academic regalia.

Sisters announce ‘Providence Village’ concept for Motherhouse propertyBy Mandy [email protected]

News- The Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul have been serving the Kingston community for more than 150 years, and they hope to serve it for many more to come – only in a differ-ent way from what they have done in the past.

On May 13, the Sisters announced a plan to repurpose their Motherhouse property, located at 1200 Princess Street, and create a concept they call ‘Providence Village’.

“We are diminishing in our numbers and we are aging,” explained Sister Sandra Shannon, General Superior of the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul. “We needed to look at our real-ity today and where we wanted to go in the future and we are so excited about this plan.”

The plan includes relocating Provi-dence Manor to the Motherhouse prop-erty. The current location of Providence Manor, on Sydenham Street, is ex-tremely limiting for the current facility and the new space would allow for ex-pansion in terms of space and services.

“We knew that Providence Care was looking for a location to relocate Providence Manor,” said Sister Shan-non. “We opened that institution with the idea of helping the elderly and the vulnerable and we want to continue that today. Needs have changed over the years and we wanted to look at how to answer the needs of today.”

As the sisters discussed the concept they came to envision a facility that could be so much more than just Provi-dence Manor. They looked at the long-terms needs of Kingston in terms of healthcare and they saw a facility that could provide a variety of services to a variety of people in need.

“The larger concept is something we

call ‘Providence Village’. It will be a concrete legacy that will be left once we are not in existence,” said Sister Shannon. “We are envisioning this village to be primarily the home of Providence Manor, but also maybe a housing centre for people with mental illnesses, disabilities, chronic illnesses and the elderly who want some assis-tance but still want a sense of commu-nity. We see it as an intergenerational centre that really is like a neighbour-hood.”

Sister Shannon also sees an oppor-tunity for retail space on the property, especially in terms of a grocery store or pharmacy. She hopes the facility can become a functional space for those in need for many generations to come.

The Providence Village concept is exciting for the sisters, but it is also really exciting for Providence Care.

“We are very enthusiastic about the opportunity,” said Peter Merk-ley, board chair of Providence Care. “There are more than 30 acres of land here and that space is well located in relation to the rest of Kingston. The services we offer at Providence Manor could increase so much with this space and that is very exciting.”

The next step for the project is a Master Program Feasibility Study to see whether the dreams of the sisters can become a reality. The project will also be subject to government approval and funding, but Sister Shannon hopes to see everything come to fruition in the years to come.

“When this concept was raised at our meeting it brought so much joy, life and anticipation to the sisters. Knowing that our mission will continue into the future and go forward is so important,” she said. “Because of our long asso-ciation with Providence Care we know that our vision is in good hands and we trust them.”

Plans for new solar energy centre presented to Loyalist Township CouncilBy Mandy [email protected]

News – A new Solar Energy Centre is in the works for Loyalist Township and on May 11, Council heard the initial plans for the project.

A representative from EDF Energies Nouvelles (EN) presented their plans for the new Solar Energy Centre and while they’re still in the early stages, the company hopes to see the project move forward soon.

“Several months ago we informed Loyalist Town-ship of our intention to speak with area landowners to discuss the idea of a project and approach landowners interested in leasing land,” said David Thornton, a rep-resentative of EDF EN. “Over these last few months we have secured land and maintained a positive dialogue with area landowners and Loyalist Township.”

The project came about after the government of On-tario released its Long Term Energy Plan in December, 2013. The plan directed the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to procure additional renew-able energy projects to achieve a total of 10,700MWs of non-hydro renewable energy generation by 2021.

In order to meet this target, the IESO designed a competitive process known as the ‘Large Renewable Procurement’ or ‘LRP’ process. 2015 is the first year of this three-year procurement process and the IESO is expected to award up to 140 MWs of solar contracts this winter. The Loyalist Solar Energy Centre is being proposed as a possible bid.

“Typically, we determine areas as good for solar based on a few key factors: you need to have a good solar resource, you need to have the ability to connect the project to the electrical system and you need to find suitable land to host the site,” said Thornton. “Loyalist Township has all three of these conditions to build a world class solar facility.”

EDF EN is proposing an up to 40 MW solar project on two parcels of land located between Sharpe Road and Highway 401. According to Thornton, the proposed project would produce clean solar energy and release no pollutants into the environment. It would also offer the government and energy customers a way to further reduce reliance on fossil fuels while consuming cost competitive, clean solar energy for the next 20 years.

“It would also stimulate the local economy during and after construction by offering employment oppor-tunities to local contractors and sourcing local materi-als,” said Thornton. “It would add additional revenue to Loyalist Township via increased tax revenue to al-leviate future municipal costs.”

The project is still in the very early stages. It must receive a contract from the IESO via the competitive Large Renewable Procurement (LRP), as well as permit-ting from the Ministry of the Environment before even considering a construction start in late 2017/2018.

According to Thornton, the presentation at Council was just the initial step for the project and he hopes that the open dialogue between the two can continue in the coming months.

“We are also planning to host a public meeting in the coming weeks,” Thornton said. “All are welcome. We welcome public feedback and would be happy to answer any questions.”

Kingston youth named top student photographer in OntarioBy Hollie [email protected]

News - Holy Cross Grade 12 student Claudia Pawlak has al-ready proven she’s the top student photographer in the province after winning gold at both the Limestone and Ontario Skills Competitions; now, she’s off to represent Ontario at the national level for the Cana-dian Skills Competition, held May 27-30 in Saskatoon.

“It was really exciting and kind of a shocker because I didn’t expect it at all,” she says of her wins. “I just did my best, put all my knowl-edge out there and waited for the results.”

In addition to submitting a port-folio of her best work, Pawlak was required to ‘perform’ at both local and provincial competitions by tak-ing photos of other students com-pleting their skills challenges.

“In the Waterloo competition there were so many kids compet-ing around me, but I found one chef carving art into watermelons,” she explains. “People were just walk-ing past him and they didn’t really notice him, so I focused on him for my main photo. When you take a subject that people don’t normally focus on and make a great photo out of it I think that’s a great thing.”

She says giving a photo that ‘wow’ factor is key to making it ef-fective. For the watermelon photo, for example, Pawlak purposefully

blurred the many people walking around the chef to create the de-sired effect.

“I used a long shutter speed to create a ghost effect and to repre-sent how skill builds over time,” she explains.

The watermelon photo succeeded in wowing the judges and ended up winning her the competition.

Pawlak got serious about tak-ing photos two years ago, and now challenges herself to complete one photo project per week.

“I have my own mini-studio set up at home… I will usually take over 400 images and then just choose one photo, so the editing process afterwards is really lengthy but it’s worth it.”

She credits her ability to all this practice, as well as the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) focus program she is enrolled in at Holy Cross. Recently, Pawlak was ac-cepted to a four-year photography degree program at Ryerson Univer-sity, and notes that SHSM gave her application an edge here too.

“I just have to say thank you to my SHSM program for high school because it has such a big impact on getting accepted to programs like this.”

Naturally, Pawlak’s teachers are extremely proud of her achieve-ments – perhaps especially commu-nications technology teacher John Esford and yearbook/commercial photography teacher Patrick Prior.

“I am totally gobsmacked by this win because it is extremely difficult at this level of competition,” says Esford. “To have the best student photographer in Ontario at Holy Cross is phenomenal.”

He adds that “from the mentoring from both teachers we’ve been able to aid Claudia in this wonderful op-portunity. She’s just blessed with a tremendous amount of talent, but also has the technical background to create stunning images.”

Esford says Claudia’s win is a testament to the benefits of taking technological education courses.

“These courses and programs en-rich and enhance a student’s learn-ing experience and provide nu-merous opportunities for students to achieve success. More students should take tech ed courses and join focus programs at their schools – the benefits are tremendous.”

Keep an eye on KingstonRegion.com and the Kingston Heritage newspaper to find out how Claudia does at the national competition in Saskatoon. To see more of her work, visit her Facebook page at Facebook.com/PawlakPictures. Claudia Pawlak won gold for photography at the 2015 Ontario Techno-

Two wheels and the art of the possible: cyclers redefine delivery marketBy Hollie Pratt-Campbell and Kate Kristiansen

Eli Scheinman, owner of local bicycle delivery service Spoke and Fork, already excels at spinning his wheels to ensure your take-out food from locally-owned downtown restaurants is hot, intact, and delicious. Now, he’ll also bring fresh, local vegetables, cold, craft beer and more to your doorstep.

“I feel strongly that it’s important to enrich our community with a whole variety of options and alternatives, [bike delivery] being one of those,” explains Scheinman, who recently developed partnerships with several local farms at Kingston’s two farmers’ markets, as well as MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co., a craft brewery that grows many of the ingredients for their beer at their family farm in Bath.

“Their beer wasn’t accessible in Kingston except by tap at one of the restaurants,” Scheinman explains. “So we’ll become a nice intermediary to get their customers in Kingston growlers and cans of beer who don’t have time themselves to go out to Bath to pick them up.”

In order to deliver the beer, Spoke and Fork was required to become licensed, which means Scheinman can now also bring customers anything from the LCBO.

“I think there’s a nice blend of getting takeout and having the option of a bottle of wine. Or if someone’s sitting on their back patio and really enjoying the sun

and they don’t want to get in their car and drive down to the LCBO, we can fill in that gap,” he says, explaining that this adds another dimension to Spoke and Fork while

sticking within the parameters of what it’s all about.

The business is a reflection of Scheinman’s interests in food, physical and mental health, e n v i r o n m e n t a l s u s t a i n a b i l i t y and cultural vibrancy. The idea occurred to him when he

was on a bike trip from Vancouver to San Diego, and experienced the bicycle messenger culture in San Francisco.

“I saw these guys living a certain lifestyle. After coming back to Kingston several years later, I thought there was a need for an alternative delivery option. It became an interesting way of melding my interests.”

Working solely with local restaurants and producers is an important part of this philosophy. Scheinman won’t be bringing you any Kentucky Fried Chicken, for example.

“Don’t be surprised when we recommend an alternative such as chicken bites from Red House,” he says. “This incident happened

recently and the customer was extremely happy with the discovery of this local option.”

He sees Spoke and Fork as playing a small role in increasing the overall green footprint of the city.

“We’re a very visible business –we’re on our bikes, we’re in and out of restaurants, we’re hanging out outside. Just by our presence alone I think we perhaps broaden the community’s perception of what’s possible and show a different ways of living one’s life.”

You can learn more and browse through a full list of Spoke and Fork partners – which includes some local retail businesses in addition to restaurants and farms – at www.spokeandfork.ca.

The Academy of Learning College in Kingston, ON, celebrates their 25th anniversary in 2015

The Academy of Learning College, http://aolkingston.com/ in Kingston, Ontario, is celebrating their 25th anni-versary of helping people succeed this year. A Canadian-owned private com-pany, the Academy has over 50 cam-puses across Canada and offers many different Vocational Career Oriented and Academic Upgrading programs to help students reach their full potential and career goals.

The highly successful, blended learn-ing environment shifts the focus from the teacher on to the student, and of-fers Ontario Government approved programs to help students achieve their Healthcare, Business, and Information Technology career goals. As an ap-proved International Student Institu-tion by the Federal Government, AOLC is teaching students from around the world. The Academy of Learning Col-lege http://aolkingston.com/?page_id=13 also offers courses in ESL and Adult Academic Upgrading, remedial and college/university prep programs as well as basic numeracy and literacy skills.

The Academy of Learning College prides themselves on excellence and

great service for students that are typi-cally attending due to a transitional life event. Some students attend because of injury or illness, or because they need a career change due to being downsized from their previous work.

The Academy is looking forward to another 25 years in the community. Working with companies in the area, they are helping them improve the skills of their staff through funding from the Canada - Ontario Job Grant Program, which is one of the first of its kind.

Create Your Own Backyard Oasis


Youthful energy, community-mindedness power newly minted Rotary ClubBy Hollie [email protected]

News - Kingston’s newest Rotary Club is young, energetic and ready to make a difference right here in our com-munity - in fact, they’ve already been doing just that for several years, but on May 11 the Kingston Waterfront Rotary Club was at last awarded their charter to become an official Rotary organization.

“In order to charter a new club, you have to get 20 members,” explains club presi-dent Duncan Brownlee. “Until you have that you’re just a group of people meeting – you’re not actually part of Rotary.”

Initially, the Kingston Waterfront Rotary Club was sponsored as a satel-lite of the Cataraqui-Kingston Club, al-lowing them to begin building members and doing community work. Receiving the charter will allow them to have their own bank account, do their own fund-raising and have more of a say over where the money they raise goes.

“Our club tends to want to do things a bit more locally, whereas some of the more established clubs want to do inter-national projects, partnering with clubs in India, South America and things like that,” says Brownlee.

For example, the group got together one Saturday last year and painted the YMCA’s new west end location.

“When they bought it, they had to make it look like the YMCA standard but they didn’t have the manpower or

the money to do it, so we went in and we did it for them.”

For the second year, the club also participated in annual Hotel Dieu Food Blitz in support of the Partners In Mis-sion Food Bank.

“Last year at this time we had about 13 members and 12 of them partici-pated,” Brownlee recalls. “It’s a very hands-on club. Whenever we have events, people show up.”

He notes that the time and location of the club’s weekly meetings, held Monday evenings at the RCHA Club, was designed with young professionals in mind; this was a big reason why he originally chose this group to join.

“I looked around for a couple of years to find the right club that was going to fit me… Our club meets for a drink af-ter work, so it’s very non-intrusive in your life. I walk from RBC over to the RCHA and have a beer during the one hour meeting. We plan whatever events we’re going to do and go home for din-ner.”

Brownlee adds that the youthful energy of the new club will also be a nice complement the region’s five other more established Rotary clubs.

“If your average age is 75-80 years old, you’ve probably got a lot of money in the bank account for fundraising but you don’t have the energy to actually go out and do the stuff in the community anymore. So they come up with ideas and they call us and say ‘hey we’re do-

ing this, can you come and help?’”Receiving the charter, he said, was

a significant moment for him and the club’s other 19 members.

“This is a huge step for us because

we’re no longer seen as a club in de-velopment. We have our own identity. When we bring in guests or prospec-tive members, we don’t have to say ‘oh we’re hoping to be a club someday’. We

are a club. So now we can go forward.”For more information, visit the

Kingston Waterfront Rotary Club on Facebook or at http://www.kwrotary-club.ca.

Audrey’s advancing maturity upsets Mary

Lifestyle – My sister Audrey was growing up, and I didn’t like it one bit! Because she was older than I was, she had more privileges, like staying up later than the rest of us whenever she felt like it. That meant I had to go to bed alone, and as hard as I tried, I could never stay awake until she climbed the stairs. And I would open my eyes to the sun pouring in the East window.

And Audrey no longer had to wear those hateful orangey-beige cotton stockings. She wore lisle with a seam up the back which I thought was the height of fash-ion. Although, it was only talked about in hushed tones, she also wore a bra bought right out of Eaton’s catalogue. It was called an ‘unmentionable’, and there was enough mystery about a girl wear-ing a bra, that on wash day, it was even hidden under a towel when hung out on the clothesline!

My little friend on the next farm, Velma, had three older sisters, and they were already going to dances and strawberry socials, usually at the Lutheran Church, so Velma knew all there was to know about sisters growing up.

“Just wait until you sister starts bringing a boy home for Sunday supper,” she said. “You can be sure

they’ll soon be talking about a wed-ding.” Well!!! The very thought of my sister Audrey going off and getting married sent ice water right through my veins.

“And don’t think he has to be a Lutheran either,” she said. “Two of my sisters are seeing boys from the United Church.” She curled her lip. She said it as if it was a sin right up there with saying a swear word, or telling a lie to your mother.

Well, it wasn’t long after that little talk in the two-seater wood swing in the grape arbour, that one Saturday, the house was in a state of turmoil like I hadn’t seen since we got a phone call that the member of Parliament was paying a call to the farm.

The house was torn apart, swept from top to bottom, lists made to take into Renfrew, and Audrey’s one and only church dress was hand-washed, hung in the sun to dry, and ironed and put on a wood hanger behind the parlour door. When I tried to find out what all the excite-ment was about, Audrey told me to keep out of her way, just as if I was a bug found on the back stoop.

Then there was talk about what we would be eating at Sunday night supper. Well, Sunday supper was always the same...a roast of pork brought right out of the smoke-house.

And Audrey was sent upstairs to the trunk in the hall and told to bring down the white linen tablecloth Mother had brought from New York, and which was only used at Christ-mas time or when Aunt Lizzie came

from Regina! Well! Something was going on, let me tell you.

And then it hit me! Just like a bolt of lightening! We would be having a boy Audrey was sweet on coming for supper!

I was torn between the excite-ment of having company for Sunday supper, and dread that this was the beginning of the end to having my beloved sister all to myself. Well, there was nothing I could do about it, but I was determined not to like whoever it was. Mother wouldn’t tolerate being rude, but I certainly wouldn’t be going out of my way to be pleasant either!

Another sign that Sunday was going to be something special, was when Mother said we were to stay in our good clothes when we got home from church. The table had been set beforehand, white tablecloth, and a special effort was made to try to have all the dishes match. We had been collecting them from the puffed wheat bags we bought from Briscoe’s General Store. I must say, the old pine table sure looked nice. I had no idea who would be coming, but he must be someone special for Mother and Audrey to go to all that trouble. But I had made up my mind not to like him, regardless how highfalutin he was.

Well, finally, after Audrey kept running from the window facing the lane, and going to the mirror that hung at the back door to check her hair, a car drove into the yard. It certainly was a few steps up from the old Model T parked at the drive shed. It was as black as your boot,

and the top folded down, and you could see the shining inside right from the kitchen window! And then this tall streak of manhood unwrapped himself from the front seat, leaving the motor purring like a kitten. His hair was slicked back and you could smell the Brylcream before he reached the back door.

Mother shook his hand, Audrey was as red as a beat, and I did noth-ing more than nod when Audrey said, “This is my little sister Mary.” Well, what happened next was like something right out of a story-book. “So this is Mary,” he said, ruffling my hair. “Well, I think a trip to Briscoe’s General Store for some ice cream is in order. What do you say, Mary?” I was in that slick car before you could say “Jack Rob-

inson.” Audrey was helped into the front seat, and we tore out the lane like a bullet. I could see my three brothers lined up in the barn door, glaring. As the wind blew my hair in every direction, I prayed that bad Marguirite would see us when we passed her lane. Never did I feel so important. In my mind’s eye I pictured myself in a long dress with flowers in my hair at my sis-ter’s wedding. I didn’t care if he was Lutheran, United or a Catholic from Mount St. Patrick!

Who spins the best web?

A great number of consumers today start their new vehicle shopping process online. They connect with manufacturer and dealership websites along with pro-fessional, media, and user reviews. Por-table technology such as tablets and smart-phones can allow them to peruse dealership inventory remotely and when they’re actually on the lot. All auto-makers keenly watch and analyze web searching habits and how they relate to actual sales. They realize that their own websites are often the first contact that a potential customer has with them and they are constantly upgrading and changing their online presence to capture as much of the market as possible. Now your Facebook page as well as local news, entertainment, and social media websites are filled with ads and auto icons to lure you and plant the seed of

purchase in your mind.Automotive product websites have

developed some common themes that cross extreme ends of the marketplace from entry level compacts to ultra-luxu-ry sports sedans. Features like ‘build and price’, inter-make comparison charts, and 360 interior/exterior views make it easy for shoppers of every skill and ex-perience level to navigate the informa-tion gathering processes.

J.D. Power, the automotive industry leading poll taker has been collecting and collating consumer opinion data on automaker websites for years, as the functionality of these online resources has proven to be key to sales success-es. They recently released this year’s Ca-nadian Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study results based on responses from over 3,300 new-vehicle shoppers who indicated they were in the market for a new vehicle within the next 24 months. The surveys were conducted from Feb. 10, 2015 through March 4, 2015.

The importance of consumer satis-faction in website use can’t be overes-timated. Over two thirds of consumers who rate a particular maker’s site highly

will be more likely to commit to a test-drive and only 17 per cent of those who are disappointed with an online pres-ence will show the same intentions. In order of importance, shoppers rate info/

content, appearance, speed, and naviga-tion as the features that they value the most. On J.D. Power’s 1,000 point rat-ing scale, a score of 748 indicates overall satisfaction. This year’s scores were as follows;

The spread between different model lines of the same parent manufactur-er. For example, Jeep is rated at #2 and their sister brand Ram is above industry average while Chrysler, Fiat, and Dodge occupy the low end of the scale. All of these websites were created by the same team and have identical features. Lin-coln is near the top while their parent company Ford is below the industry av-erage and Buick is well above the aver-age score while Chevrolet is well below it. What this really demonstrates is the difference in perception between indi-vidual consumers.

The causes of these differences can be large in number. It may relate to demo-graphics such as age, education level, and income, etc. or it may stem from car buy-ing or web-searching experience. The other main set of factors can exist in the disconnect between the virtual and real-life shopping experiences. Auto websites’ ‘build and price’ features can let you create a vehicle that might not be popular on dealership lots. They also contain a lot of small print regarding purchase/lease incentives leading shop-pers to have expectation levels that the

retailers can’t match.This isn’t to say that website shopping

and research isn’t useful but it should be done in conjunction with other resourc-es. Check dealership sites to see what inventory they have on hand and what equipment level is available. If you’re into vehicle specs such as towing and cargo capacity, I’ve always found that the US based automaker sites are easier to navigate for this info than the Canadi-an versions. And of course the ultimate source of information is an experienced and knowledgeable dealership sales con-sultant. In the matter of a few minutes of conversation you can learn as much as you will from hours of web searching.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to [email protected] or directly to [email protected] listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

At Last: the perfect prelude to summer

Daytripper – Start your summer with some of the best dance perfor-mances of the year in the city with

At Last: this year’s grand finale for Kingston School of Dance.

“The title reflects that we are at last where we need to be,” says Ebon Gage, Artistic Director of the Kings-ton School of Dance. The renowned school has finally returned to its home base in the City of Kingston’s arts hub at the Tett Centre for Cre-ativity and Learning.

“It’s been a long journey,” says

Gage. “Our parents, families and students have travelled through three moves with us and stuck by us while we waited for the Tett to reopen. We’ve had a really big sigh of joy being in the space we now occupy. All that love we have for the art of dance, finally we’ve arrived and can say, ‘We’re here.’ You look at the kids’ eyes and know we have some-thing so special.”

Because of several delays in the opening date for the Tett (it officially re-opened on January 31), KSD did not develop a new ballet per se for this year’s end-of-year performances, which will be held at The Grand The-atre on Saturday, June 20 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

“Early in the school year, I spoke with the instructors and told them we were not going to write a ballet this year,” says Gage. “Instead, we have taken excerpts of ballets and created a program. I love cello and violin music and we are using a lot of that in Act One. The sound that the cello brings into your soul can cause mo-ments of great joy and also moments

of deep sorrow. We’ll let the audi-ence interpret what we are doing on stage as we move through the notes of the songs.”

In Act Two of the show, the di-versity of dance styles available at Kingston School of Dance will be featured. The audience will be treated to ballet, jazz, hip hop, acro, Latin, bboiz, Afro-Cuban and other dances.

The school is losing five of its se-nior dancers after graduations this year: Cameron Watson, Kara Good-ing, Ellen Fitzhugh, Talia Beckwith and Maureen Barnes.

“That’s kind of a sweet sorrow,” says Gage. “Some of these dancers have been with us for many years and we’ve just arrived in our permanent home, so they’ve only had a small taste of what we can do here.”

Gage explained that instead of having senior soloists in the show, he’s turned part of the performance over to the graduating students.

“We are going to showcase them and give them an opportunity to say, ‘Goodbye,’” says Gage. “It’s like, here you go, turn it over to the

next generation who will be walking through those halls.”

Gage added that he is impressed with the strength of graduating and upcoming students.

“I go, ‘wow,’ I’ve got students this year going off to amazing programs. Emma [Chen] is going to Alvan Ai-ley in New York City. Aria [Wilton] is also headed to Gelsey Kirkland Academy of Classical Ballet in New York, Baylie [Karperien] is off to Nashville, and Ellen [Fitzhugh] is headed to the School of Creative and Performing Arts (SOCAPA) in New York. These are all major schools for dance.”

Seventeen-year-old Kara Gooding will be headed to the University of Guelph to study psychology in Sep-tember. She’s trained in dance since she was barely out of toddlerhood. She started training at the Kingston School of Dance when it was still in the old Tett Centre, long before the building was gutted and rebuilt.

At Last: the perfect prelude to summer“I remember when I was 3 or 4, walk-

ing down the halls of this building and my first dance lessons,” says Kara. “I’ve grown up in this building. Leaving in the fall is like leaving a family. We’ve had many classes together, done shows to-gether and learned together.”

She has advice for dance beginners, regardless of age.

“Stick with it, no matter what,” she says. “If sometimes it seems like you’re learning the same thing over and over, keep at it. You’re learning important technique. When you get to the perform-ing aspect, it will all come together. It’s an incredible experience.”

She says the this year’s show at the Grand Theatre will be a lot of fun.

“There are some really, really beauti-

ful pieces, well choreographed and ex-citing.”

Ellen Fitzhugh graduates from KSD and heads to the School of Creative and Performing Arts (SOCAPA) in New York City this summer. In the autumn she’ll attend Humber College, Lake-shore Campus, for its creative advertis-ing program.

“Leaving KSD, I’ll be so sad,” she says. “It’s my dance family. I’ll miss Ebon. I’ll have to learn the dynamics of a new studio.”

Cameron Baker still has a few years left at KSD. He’ll be performing in a pas de deux in At Last with Aria Wilton.

“It’s to the song Fragile by Sting,” he says. “It’s about this fragile moment cap-tured in time. It’s a very sensitive song with a very active dance about coming and going. One moment you’re there,

then you’re gone.”Cameron says that ballet and dance

are not always what boys expect.“Ballet is a form of dance that is es-

pecially powerful for men,” he says. “Some people may think it’s all hoity toity, but it’s not at all. There’s a fine balance required between you and your partner. You need a lot of strength, and ballet helps you develop strength. Dance not only improves your confidence, but it gives you motivation to do better.”

He said that year’s show features sev-eral beautiful group numbers as well as meticulously planned choreography.

Although Kingston School of Dance has always had a strong base in ballet, having been founded by Len Stepanick of the National Ballet of Canada, and has continued to have retired National Bal-let dancers as teachers over the years, it’s

the combined quality and diversity of in-structors and styles that make it unique.

The newest offering at Kingston School of Dance involve circus arts, in-cluding aerial training on silks with Jane Kirby. The new KSD studios at the Tett Centre were purposely designed with special ceiling bracing to allow the use of silks for aerial work.

“We’ve already done a trial of six weeks during the spring semester,” says Gage. “We’ll run another circus arts pro-gram from July 7 to August 12 for 9 to 12-year-olds. In the autumn, we’ll have aerial and circus arts programs for adults and children.”

After returning to its Tett home base, KSD has offered dance programs to schools in the Algonquin and Limestone school boards.

“That has really gone well,” says Gage. Students come in over three weeks for two-hour programs. We work with students and grade them accord-ing to the Ministry

of Education Curriculum Standards in both physical education and the arts. The teachers don’t have to worry about how to grade the students. We do that part ac-cording to Ministry guidelines.”

KSD offers summer dance camps for 6 to 12-year olds during the weeks of July 6–10 and July 13–17. In addition, adult and children’s classes will be offered in evenings during July and August.

“You don’t have to have taken dance before,” says Gage. “This is an oppor-tunity for kids to experience dance in a real dance studio. In the camp, they’ll get to experience ballet, jazz, hip hop and acro.”

Registration is now open for summer camps and programs.

Registration for autumn classes takes place all summer.

There are many reasons to keep Hydro One in public hands. Visit www.cupe.on.ca for more information. This is a paid advertisment by CUPE Ontario and OPSEU

Important message to members and supporters of the Ontario Liberal Party:

SOARING PRIVATIZED ELECTRICITY BILLS

Protect the people of

Kingston and the Islands from even higher hydro bills

– by voting against Bill 91

Fall in line with the sellout of Hydro One – a one-time

dead-end cash grab at the expense of future generations.

OR

Liberal MPP Sophie Kiwala has a choice:

Please tell Liberal MPP Sophie Kiwala to vote against Bill 91 — to protect residents of Kingston and the Islands from…

By voting against Bill 91, Liberal MPPs can save Hydro One from privatization.

Within days, the Ontario Legislature will vote on Hydro privatization (Bill 91)

Even partial privatization has brought soaring electricity rates in countries around the world. Small business owners, farmers and residents cannot afford to pay more for electricity.

Future generations will need the perpetual flow of hundreds of millions of dollars from our public Hydro One — to pay for public services like health care and education.

If Bill 91 is passed, Liberal MPPs like Sophie Kiwala, the Ontario Liberal Party and Premier Wynne will be held responsible for the consequences.
