Reid fires back at critic suggesting PM ‘hid in a closet’ during attack on ParliamentBy Craig BakayReporter

News — Depending on your polit-ical point of view, it’s likely that sup-porters of all four parties will claim victory at the all-candidates debate for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston last week in Sydenham.

If there was a prize for the most cat-calls, Conservative Scott Reid won hands down. At one point, the catcalls even prompted NDP candi-date John Fenik to rise out of turn telling the audience to stop it.

But, boisterous NDP, Liberal and Green supporters aside, there was however one moment when Reid clearly won the question, even though he admitted later that the question clearly came out of left field for him and he had to answer off the cuff.

The question referred to the Octo-ber, 2014 attack on Parliament Hill by a lone gunman, the same incident that made Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers a household name and national hero.

The question was phrased in such a way as to paint Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper in a negative light, sug-gesting he was a coward who “hid in a closet” when the shooting started.

“With all due respect, you don’t know what you’re talking about,” a remarkably composed yet clearly of-fended Reid shot back. “I was in that

room and he (Harper) was very cool and collected at that moment (when the shooting started).

“A lot of other people there weren’t.”

Reid went on to point out that there are security procedures in place that kicked in when the situation be-came apparent.

“When we heard the first shots, we thought it was construction noise,” Reid said. “Then there was more shooting and it became apparent what was going on.

“At one point, I wasn’t sure I would be alive at the end of the day.”

Reid said that there was a ‘safe room’ off the room they were meeting in but security’s main concern was get-ting the Prime Minister and MPs out of harm’s way, and there was the confu-sion inherent in any such situation.

“If you haven’t had that experi-ence, I’m not sure you should be talk-ing about what others should do (in that situation),” Reid said.

The vast majority of the rest of the meeting followed a pretty predictable path, with candidates responding to pat questions like the future of the CBC, missing votes and an outdated Senate with pretty pat, party-line endorsed answers from the platform playbook.

Reid fires back at critic suggesting PM ‘hid in a closet’ during attack on Parliament

There were a couple of questions about the closure of the prison farms.

Archambault, Fenik and Payne each said their party would re-open them if

elected and committed to sitting on a local committee working to re-establish the farms. Reid said the prison programs were about finding jobs for prisoners when their sentence is complete and the program wasn’t very successful at that.

When it comes to differing with party platforms, three of four candidates going to potBy Craig BakayReporter

News — The first question at last week’s Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston can-didates debate in Sydenham, asked by host/moderator Jeff Green, was “name one issue where you differ from your party platform.”

Strangely enough, for three of the four candidates, it was on marijuana reform. Two of them wanted to see their party go further towards complete legalization while one wasn’t so sure legalization was the best option, despite her party’s stated intention.

“I’m truly comfortable with the NDP platform,” said candidate John Fenik. “But one thing I would speak up on in caucus is the legalization of marijuana (the NDP’s policy is decriminalization, study and go from there).

“Keeping it illegal hasn’t stopped its use and has led to the formation of crime empires (and) there is evidence that medical marijuana has health benefits for many who are ill.”

“I’m also comfortable with the Green Party Platform,” said Anita Payne. “But there is one thing I have a bit of an issue with — the Green Party wants to legalize marijuana but (as a former high school teacher) I’m concerned how it will be done.

“Young brains are adversely affected

by marijuana and you probably can’t make legal age any higher than 18.

“However, legalizing it would have one big advantage in that we could regu-late its strength and distribution.”

“Like John and Anita, I differ with my party on the legalization of marijua-na,” said Scott Reid. (The Conservative stance has been the status quo — OK for medical use but not for ‘recreation.’) “Cigarettes and alcohol are just as dan-gerous as marijuana and they’re legal.

“When we tried to eliminate alcohol from society many years ago it was a huge disaster, leading to the formation of criminal empires and it’s been the same with marijuana.

“I don’t think the legal age has to be 18, it could be 21 and I would want it to be a severely criminally punishable of-fence for selling or providing it to young people.”

Liberal candidate Phil Archambault was the lone rebel on the issue.

He said he didn’t “have any big con-cern” with any of his party’s platform but “I will advocate for 42 amendments to Bill C-51 (Canada’s recently enacted, controversial anti-terrorism law).”

After the debate, when asked for his thoughts on marijuana reform, Archam-bault said that while he wished no kids would smoke marijuana, he did see a need to regulate its use more effectively.

“It’s a question of security, to get or-

ganized crime out of it and it’s a question of quality,” he said. “There are all sorts of things being added to marijuana to increase its potency and that’s scary.

“If we’re able to control and regulate it, it will be easier to monitor and from a public health standpoint, that’s a no-brainer, as is to re-invest any money the government gets from it into education.”

Sharbot Lake archer brings back another prize with his bowBy Craig BakayReporter

News — Most people who know Sharbot Lake’s Mike Procter know of his love of pioneering ways. He (along with fellow aficionado Bob Miller) is a fixture at Heritage Festival time where he sets up exhibits and gives demonstrations of tomahawk and knife throwing. The hawk/knife events have also shown up at the market, 4H gatherings and most recently at the Frontenac County 150th Anniversary celebrations.

But what you might not know is that of all the aspects of 19th Century life he enjoys and advocates, arguably his biggest passion is for archery, both in competition and as a bowyer/fletcher.

His basement is his studio, with bows in various stages of completion, arrows everywhere and a sizeable collection of turkey feathers (used for the fletches on his hand-made arrows) supplied to him by local hunters.

His favorite bow, Knotty Locust, hangs on a wall with several other longbows and a lone recurve, just above 10 trophies and several medals for archery.

While he has competed in many strictly archery competitions in the past, there has a been a general decline in that sport and now his competitive urge is restricted mainly to ‘Rendezvous’ events where like-minded individuals

gather to dress in period attire and engage in 19th Century living, including several competitions.

His most recent Rendezvous was at Quadeville (near Barry’s Bay), a hamlet better known for being the location of Al Capone’s hideaway cabin.

“Oddly enough, I didn’t place in knife-throwing, despite how much of it we’ve been doing around here,” he said. “But I was third in tea-boil (essentially creating a fire from flint and tinder so that you can boil a pot of tea), third in black powder shooting, second in hawks.

“But, I won archery.” He continued to say that he’s

usually in the top three in archery at these events and that the “guy who came second uses one of my bows.”

Procter does sell his bows and arrows but he’s just as likely to trade one for something if it strikes his fancy, like a wolf-decorated drum made by noted scrimshaw artist Charles Hargraves.

But it’s often hard to tell if he goes to the Rendezvous because of a love of bows or his love of bows had led to participation in things like Rendezvous.

“Well, there’s a great social aspect and much camaraderie at the Rendezvous,” he said. “It’s very quiet without all the hubbub and cars.

“After the last one, the doctor told me my blood pressure was the best it’s been in years.”

He said they’re open to anyone and

always looking to add new aficionados. “It doesn’t take much,” he said. “At

my first one, all I had was a plaid shirt. “Get in touch with me if you’re

interested in going to one.” However, it doesn’t take him much

to get back to the subject of archery. “Oh, here’s the only book you’ll

ever need on bow-making,” he said. “It’s The Traditional Bowyer’s Bible.

“There are four of them but the first one is the only one you really need.”

Mike Procter uses a measuring guide of his own design to test the pull of longbows he makes by hand. Photo/Craig Bakay

Candidates from Lanark-Frontenac -Kingston and Kingston and the Islands come together to discuss food security and farmingBy Mandy [email protected]

News – It was a full house at Memo-rial Hall on Oct. 1 as candidates from both Kingston and the Islands riding and Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston rid-ings came together for ‘Eat, Think, Vote’, an all candidates meeting fo-cused on food security in farming.

“It stems from a national campaign organized by Food Secure Canada and our aim is to try and get food and farming issues in front of politi-cians,” explained Mara Shaw, execu-tive director of the Loving Spoonful in Kingston. “Hopefully, we can hear what candidates have to say and we can also inform them about what is of interest locally.”

The event was moderated by Susan Belyea and was organized by the Na-tional Farmers Union Local 316, Lov-ing Spoonful, KFL&A Food Policy Council, Basic Income Group Kings-ton and the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative; anyone with a concern about food was encouraged to come out.

“Food matters to everybody,” said Shaw. “We are all concerned about the food system and whether or not people have access to healthy food and we are concerned about what our farmers are being paid. This is an op-portunity to discuss these issues.”

Throughout the two-hour meeting, audience members asked the can-didates questions about policies to eliminate food waste, where parties stand on creating a minimum live-able income, what they were going to do about the four million Canadians who worry about food each day and of course the important local issue of reopening the prison farms.

The Green Party was represented by Nathan Townend for Kingston and the Islands and Anita Payne for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. Both

candidates spoke about the impor-tance of a basic liveable income when it comes to food security and outlined their party’s plan to implement this important need.

“With a basic liveable income, ev-eryone could afford to feed themselves and that is so important,” said Payne.

In reference to the prison farms, Townend emphasized that it is about more than just the money, “It is about the connection with the natural world and that restorative process. Just 20 minutes working with the land can fight depression and why wouldn’t we want that?”

Liberal candidates Mark Gerretsen for Kingston and the Islands and Phil Archambault for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston both spoke about the need for better solutions when it comes to food waste and the rising costs of food.

“I am a father of four and my gro-cery bill keeps going up,” said Ar-chambault. “We need to think about something like allowing tax credits for grocery stores who donate surplus food. We need to work together.”

Both Archambault and Gerretsen

pointed out the fact that the Liberals are already committed to re-opening the prison farms and have done the research to make it happen, “We are absolutely committed to getting it done,” said Gerretsen.

NDP candidates Daniel Beals from Kingston and the Islands and John Fe-nik from Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston used the major questions of the eve-ning to emphasize their party’s plans for things like reducing costs of child-care and developing a comprehensive plan for food waste reduction.

“A lot of our issues with food come down to income inequality,” said Fenik. “We also need to focus on more equality for our farmers and the fact that we can sell market pork, but not eggs. Something needs to change.”

Beals pointed out that out of all the candidates, he

is the only one who was part of the front line fight against the closing of the prison farms.

“The NDP is committed to making this right,” said Beals. “This is a very important topic for me and I hope to fight for it as your MP.”

Conservative candidate for Kings-ton and the Islands, Andy Brooke, was the only representative for his party at the event as Lanark-Frontneac-Kings-ton candidate Scott Reid could not at-tend because of a family obligation.

Brooke acknowledged that he was only learning about the food security

issues of the area, but he was willing to explore many options when it came to reducing food waste in the region.

Brooke also acknowledged that he has never hidden his support for the prison farms. He went on to clarify that even though his party may not support the re-opening, “I am allowed to represent my ridings concerns when it comes to this issue and I am not afraid to do so.”

In Our Opinion

Selfies are deadlyEditorial – Selfies – many people take them every day, but before you take

your next selfie maybe you should think about how safe it is. So far in 2015, at least 12 people around the world have died directly as a result of trying to capture the perfect selfie. To put that into perspective, in the same period the number of people killed by sharks was eight.

Most recently, a 17-year-old Russian boy died after falling nine floors from a rooftop as he tried to take a selfie for his Instagram page. He had previously taken a number of similar pictures of himself and his friends pos-ing on high rooftops and planned to use a rope to take a picture that made it look like he was falling from the roof; howver, as he went over the edge the rope snapped.

Other selfie related deaths have occurred as people have tried to snap pho-tos with raging bulls during a bull run in Spain and with trains that then hit them. One man even fell down the stairs at the Taj Mahal as he was trying to snap a selfie.

Tourist attractions like national parks have even gone as far as banning selfies because too many people are taking photos with moose or bears and the parks fear attacks as people turn their backs to these animals for a good picture.

In many of these cases, the selfie takers are in fact tourists, unfamiliar with their surroundings and most likely thrilled to be experiencing the scenery or the excitement. While we understand that snapping the perfect photo is important, especially when you are at an international attraction, what ever happened to simply asking another tourist to take a photo of you?

As technology and social media progresses, more and more people are worried about how many ‘likes’ their photos receive or how many people will comment on their insane photo, but is all of that really worth your life? Furthermore, if you are lucky enough to visit the Taj Mahal or a bull run in Spain perhaps you should put the technology down and simply enjoy the ex-perience. At least that way you will live to tell other people about it.

Government red tape has been around a long time and apparently is still going strong

Column — An interesting moment from the federal candidates debate in Sydenham: following a question about ensuring dollars actually get spent on vet-erans, Conservative candidate Scott Reid waxed philosophical about dealing with Veterans Affairs Canada.

“This department has a very long history of being bad at responding to re-quests,” he said. “You’d think Revenue Canada would be the hardest to work with but they’re not.”

The other three candidates (Anita Payne, Phil Archambault and John Fenik) gave rather conciliatory answers pledging to re-open Veterans Affairs offices, open-ing new centres for the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder and a pledge to stand behind vets.

There was also some vague, feel-good talk about service dogs and income-for-life.

What’s interesting about all this is that,

like most things, when it comes to dealing with government bureaucracies like Vet-erans Affairs Canada, there’s a reality in-volved that no amount of rhetoric or good intensions can overcome.

Of course none of the candidates be-sides Reid would have any real experi-ence dealing with federal bureaucracies. Fenik, as a former mayor and councilor of Perth has some experience dealing with the folks who do all the work in Perth, but let’s face it, it’s pretty minor league when compared with bureaucratic operations at the federal level.

What we often forget amidst all the political promises inherent in any elec-tion campaign is that while many of these things sound good, in the cold light of day even Members of Parliament have to face red tape.

It’s no different in any level of govern-ment.

Every four years, we get a new crop of municipal councilors out to set the world on fire.

It’s easy to spot the rookies at a new council meeting. Either they sit there si-lent and dumbfounded at the mountain of new information and procedures they have to deal with or they bluster their way

forward, only to come to an inevitable halt when they realize there’s a reason previ-ous councils didn’t make any headway on a particular issue either.

Regardless of what you think should be in an MP’s job description, the fact is that one of their most important functions is to be an advocate for their constituents, or, if not an advocate, at least a source of information.

It’s an aspect most MPs, and particular-ly backbenchers, embrace. For one thing, being able to help out a constituent feels pretty good. For another, it’s a pretty good source of brownie points at election time.

But like anything else, it takes time to learn how to navigate the ins and outs of trying to accomplish something on Parlia-ment Hill.

It’s one thing to pledge millions or bil-lions of dollars to a particular issue. It’s quite another to actually get those dollars working towards solving said issue. Often, political parties may as well be pledging ‘gazillions’ for all the good it will do.

On the off-chance the polls are wrong and Reid doesn’t win re-election, it would be interesting to see just how good who-ever does win is at cutting government red tape.

Cloud cover dissipates right on cue for Blood Moon at Dark Skies PreserveBy Craig BakayReporter

Gazette News — The air was crisp and cool on this Sunday night at the North Frontenac Dark Skies Preserve in Fernleigh.

There was something else in the air too — a palpable air of expecta-tion. For on this night, a rare event was about to unfold — a lunar eclipse during a supermoon.

The lunar eclipse is rare enough on its own, but to have one occur during a supermoon, a full moon when the Earth’s satellite is at its closest to the parent celestial body, hasn’t happened since 1985. The next one won’t hap-pen until 2033.

The particular attraction of this phenomenon is that during totality, when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, the refraction of light passing through the Earth’s at-mosphere casts a glowing reddish hue

on the moon’s surface — hence the term ‘Blood Moon.’

When asked to rate this celestial event between 1 and 10, where 1 is your average starry night and 10 is Betelgeuse going supernova, astron-omer-in-residence Gary Colwell said: “it’s an 8 or a 9, simply because it’s so rare.

“We have a lot of star parties here but this will be the best one in a long time.”

Betty Hunter, who as a munici-pal councilor was one of the driving forces behind getting the Dark Skies Preserve up and running, concurred.

“I bought a brand new telescope for this,” she said, stroking her new black beauty. “It’s a busy weekend but there should be quite a few people here.”

Indeed, as dusk and then darkness fell, people began arriving.

But something else also arrived. As the bright full moon rose in the

sky, clouds be-gan coming in, at first framing and at times totally blocking out the moon.

“This is disap-pointing . . . but

the clouds could yet go away,” said Colwell optimistically.

By 9:30 p.m., everything was dark. Clouds covered the entire area.

However, around 10 p.m., to the northwest, there were stars every-where. The constellations Hercules and Lyra were surrounded by a myr-iad of stars, punctuated by the odd meteorite.

But around the moon, the clouds persisted.

Then, around 10:10, as the reddish glow was seemingly playing with the crowd as clouds ebbed and flowed.

Then, at precisely 10:17, as if by magic, the clouds were gone and . . . Blood Moon!

“This is great, I may stay for the full five hours,” said Hunter.

“I take back my earlier rating, this is a 9 or even a 10,” said Colwell as he busily sat at his laptop arranging the pictures he was taking fast and furi-ously.

“This is freakin’ awesome,” said one of the younger members of the crowd.

The next event at the Dark Sky Preserve is the Saturday night of Thanksgiving Weekend when the planet Uranus will be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

A couple of dozen people were rewarded for outlasting the clouds with a Blood Moon at the North Frontenac Dark Skies Preserve.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGBuilding Department Change of Fees

(Section 7 of the Building Code Act)DATE/TIME: Monday, November 2, 2015 at 6:00 p.m.LOCATION: Council Chambers, TLTI Municipal Offices 1233 Prince Street, Lansdowne, ON K0E 1L0TAKE NOTICE that the Council for the Corporation of the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands proposes to pass a by-law to change the fees on applications for and on the issuance of permits. A Public Meeting will be held on the proposed changes at the time and location noted above.

The intent of the proposed amendment is to change the existing fees structure as permitted in Section 7 of the Building Code Act to administer and enforce the operational costs of the building department.

BACKGROUNDThe Township has identified that the building permit fees do not appear to cover the costs of operating the Building Department. This has become more significant as we have refined accounting practices, allocating more overhead costs to the Department since 2013 (e.g. insurance and program support allocation have added $61,000 + to expenses).

In 2014 the Department had a deficit ($14,355.12) and in 2015 a deficit ($23,990) is projected based on the current building fee structure.

The Department had established a reserve. The reserve covered and is projected to cover deficits in 2014 and 2015, respectively. However, the reserve balance for the Department is projected at $16,129.87 by the end of 2015 and without amendments to the fees will be depleted in 2016.

Additional information concerning the Change of Fees is available to the public, at no cost, from the Planning and Development Department at 1233 Prince Street, Lansdowne, during normal office hours. This information will also be available on the Township website: www.leeds1000islands.ca. You can contact our office by calling (613) 659-2415, or by fax (613) 659-3619, or email [email protected]

DATED at the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands 30th day of September, 2015.

Annual zombie walk hopes to attract a bigger and better horde this yearBy Mandy [email protected]

Events – On Oct. 24, Kingston will be invaded by zombies – or at least commu-nity members pretending to be zombies; it’s all part of the annual Kingston Zombie Walk and this year the event hopes to be better than ever.

“The response has been great on the event page and we have about 200 people saying that they will show up so far,” said lead organizer for this year’s walk, Ben Kent. “We are hoping for a big group and this will be the first time we’ve actually had a parade permit so we’ll be able to walk right down Princess Street.”

The Zombie walk has been an annual event in Kingston for the past seven years

and although rain caused a bit of confusion and a smaller turnout in 2014, Kent hopes that extra attention to organization and ad-vertising will attract more people this year.

“This year I wanted to get more in-volved and make sure this event is great for the community and my kids too.”

Kent has been participating in the zom-bie walk for the past three years and got his daughters to join him after the first year.

“They both enjoy it as much if not more than Halloween and my youngest daughter actually won first prize in the child’s cos-tume category one year. I enjoy the make-up aspect of it all and working on creating a look and character. My daughters enjoy that too and they write long and compli-cated back stories about their characters. It’s a lot of fun.”

In the past, community members have been quite creative when it comes to dress-ing up for the walk and Kent has seen families of mummies, zombified doctors and patients and even zombified Disney characters.

“People get pretty creative and that is definitely part of the fun,” he said. “I do my best to share ideas and techniques and I certainly learn from others too.”

Everyone is invited to dress up and take part in the walk and while there is no fee to participate, organizers ask that par-ticipants to bring a dried good or canned good to benefit the Kingston Youth Shelter.

“The whole thing started as a

benefit to the Kingston Youth Shelter and we are continuing that,” said Kent. “They serve hundreds of youth throughout the year and they go through a lot of food and anything we can do to help is great.”

Kent has been working with local sponsors to put the walk together this year and many have contributed prizes for the best group, best kid’s costume and best individual costume. He says his daughters are hoping to win in at least one category again. Whether you are competitive or not, Kent encourages anyone in the community to come out for the walk, even if it is just

to observe.“We usually accumulate quite the

crowd as we move through the city and we all love stopping to pose for pictures and chat with people,” he said. “It is a great chance to dress up and walk around and maybe be a bit theatrical for an after-noon.”

The Kingston Zombie Walk takes place on Oct. 24 starting at 1 p.m. at Mc-Burney Park. For more information check out their event page at https://www.face-book.com/events/1454734934830357/1483577841946066/

Evening frights at Fort Henry National Historic SiteBy Rob MooyReporter

Be afraid - be very afraid.There are ghouls, ghosts, witches

and zombies lurking around every cor-ner as Fort Fright, the award-winning scare event at Fort Henry National Historic Site, has returned for another spooky season. The newly designed 2015 version, running on select nights, from 7-10 p.m. until Nov. 1, is spooki-er than ever and sure to send shivers up the spines of even the bravest with new scares, state-of-the-art animatronics, tighter corners, darker areas and more live ghouls.

New this year is a multi-sensory experience called HOODED, which will test your imagination, not to men-tion nerve. Written by Canadian poet Watson Kirkconnell, A Butcher’s Tale of the Fort Henry Tunnel was inspired by his time as a guard at Fort Henry during internment operations during the First World War.

The 19th century citadel provides an unrivalled setting and Fort Fright visitors will experience professional set design and animatronics comple-mented by sound and lighting effects and 3-D wall projections to set the stage for a spine-tingling experience.

“This year we have really raised the bar on the Fort Fright experience,” says Fort Henry manager Jennifer Tari-ni. “Our team has been very creative in the development of the new HOODED

attraction, which will give visitors a whole new way to experience this event. Plus with more scare actors, great technology and the amazing backdrop of Fort Henry, we think this year will be our best Fort Fright yet.”

Fort Fright has been acknowl-edged as one of Canada’s Creepiest Halloween Places and as one of the Top 10 Haunted Houses in North America. Most recently, Parents Can-ada Magazine included Fort Fright in an October 2015 article, highlighting the top 13 Spooky Sites in Canada and Around the World.

Not sure if you are brave enough? Try the Safe Pass and be confident that you have the power to keep the ghouls at bay. $5 will buy you a glow-in-the-dark ‘Zombie Protection Amulet’ necklace, which is guaran-teed to keep you safe. It’s perfect for youngsters or adults who would pre-fer to keep the scare actors at a safe distance. The amulet lets the Fort Fright team know they should keep a wide berth from you, and you feel braver knowing you have the power.

Fort Fright runs Thursdays through Sundays until Oct. 18 and then nightly from Thursday, Oct. 22 to Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015. General admission is $16. An additional fee applies to the Zombie Protection Amulet ($5); Hooded ($5) and to the Coffin Ride ($5).

For more information visit www.forthenry.com.

(Above) Friends Addison Cuthbert, 8, and Kaylee Red, 8, get a warning from Madam Zara, played by Failon Bowman, as they prepare to enter Fort Fright, the award winning scare event at Fort Henry National Historic Site, Oct 1. The newly designed 2015 version, running on select nights, from 7-10 p.m., until November 1, is sure to scare even the bravest with new scares, tighter corners, darker areas and more live ghouls. Not sure if you are brave enough? Try the Safe Pass and be confident that you have the power to keep the ghouls at bay. $5 will buy you a glow-in-the-dark ‘Zombie Protection Amulet’ necklace guaranteed to keep you safe and the scary creatures at bay. It’s perfect for youngsters or adults who would prefer to keep the scare actors at a safe distance. The amulet lets the Fort Fright team know they should keep a wide berth from you, and you feel braver knowing you have the power. For more information visit www.forthenry.com. Photo/Rob Mooy

Lee Valley comes to KingstonBy Hollie [email protected]

News - Gardeners and DIY-ers in the Kingston area have something new to smile about this fall: the Limestone City now has its very own Lee Valley Tools store.

President Robin Lee, son of the store’s founder Leonard Lee, was in town Sept. 30 for a special ‘sneak peek’ event that allowed a few lucky locals the chance to check out what the store, located at the south end of the Rio Can Centre, has to offer. Lee explained that this particular franchise looks a little different from the other 15 Lee Valley stores across Canada.

“One of the things we’re really fo-cusing on is designing for customer experience. As a specialty retailer we haven’t had to really up our game on the customer engagement side, and it’s really about time that we put a little bit more effort onto the overall experience.”

Lee Valley originated in Ottawa in 1978 and gradually expanded across the country. The Kingston store is about 40 per cent smaller than a typi-cal Lee Valley, but has a larger show-room, as well as a space for DIY-relat-ed seminars and courses.

“We really want it to be a hands-on environment and not just a catalogue operation,” Lee explains. “The cata-logue operation is still very impor-tant, but with the retail environment consumers expect a little bit more than product on shelves. They want a little more theatre, a little bit more en-tertainment, a little bit more engage-ment.”

Approximately 25 per cent of what

Lee Valley sells – specifically the Veritas line of technical woodwork-ing and gardening products, cabinet hardware and more - is designed and manufactured in Canada; the company has its own research and development team, and even exports to more than 100 other countries.

“There’s a tremendous satisfaction in creating and for us manufacturing is one of the ways that we create,” Lee says. “But it’s also very important from an economic standpoint. We feel that manufacturing is a strong founda-tion of a strong economy, so we try to keep the manufacturing at home as

much as possible.”Locally, the store will employ 20-

25 full-time staff, plus additional part-time workers – undoubtedly welcome news for a city that has lost many re-tail jobs over the past year due to clo-sures of large stores like Target and Future Shop.

Lee says that Kingston was thought to be a good location for the new store because it’s such a dynamic commu-nity.

“It’s a university town with diverse industries. Kingston is a big draw for a very large [surrounding area]…It’s that reach that we’re after with our stores because we’re very specialized. Some of the products in here we may only sell 10 of in a year in the entire country, so we really need an area that has reach and we felt Kingston met that criteria.”

Lee said was happy with the turn-out at the sneak peek event and ex-cited to see how the new store will resonate with the community:

“It’s going to be a good location for us and hopefully it’ll be good for the city of Kingston too.”

UHKF announces ‘Extraordinary People. Innovative Health Care’ campaign with a goal of $65 million

By Mandy [email protected]

News – ‘Extraordinary People. In-novative Health Care.’ – that is the

title for the new University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) major fundraising campaign. The campaign launched on Oct. 2 aboard the Island Star cruise boat in Kingston, exactly

where the previous ‘Together We Can’ campaign wrapped up in 2011.

“Last time around we raised $72 million for Kingston’s hospitals and we hope to have the same success with this campaign,” said Denise Cumming, executive director for UHKF.

This time around, the campaign hopes to raise $65 million over the next five years, but campaign chair Su-san Creasy is hoping that goal can be achieved even sooner.

“It is a five year campaign, but I’d really like to make it three,” said Creasy. “This journey lays the ground work for our next wave of develop-ment and together we will succeed.”

Creasy also announced that the campaign has already been quite suc-cessful and as of the launch UHKF had already raised $35.5 million, more than half of their goal.

“Our communities have already helped us raise the funds for the second MRI at KGH as well and so I am confi-dent that this next goal is very achiev-

able,” said Creasy. Money raised through the campaign

will support a variety of programming and development between Kingston’s three hospital organizations includ-ing specialized acute care, emergency services, ambulatory care, diagnostics, surgical care, medical research, obstet-rics and neonatal intensive care, and

long-term care. “Our friends, families and neigh-

bours deserve the best care possible,” said Creasy. “Everyone in this commu-nity is extraordinary and together we will be successful.”

Kingston’s Goldwing recognized as finalist of the Emerging Artist Music Mentorship ProgramBy Mandy [email protected]

News – Since forming in 2013, Kingston-based band Goldwing has been making a name for them-selves both in Canada and the U.S. Last year, the band won first place in both The Great American Song Contest in Nashville and the Re-naissance Music Songwriting Con-test. This year, the band became fi-nalists in the Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Program and as part of that, they had a chance to perform

in Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square as part of Canada’s Walk of Fame festivities at the end of September.

“We applied for this contest this past summer and kind of for-got about it,” said Ryan Gollogly, lead singer for the band. “We got an email saying we were finalists a few weeks ago and we were super excited to receive the news.”

Over 300 bands from across Can-ada submitted videos and profiles to the 2015 Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Program, which is sup-ported by RBC. In the end, seven bands were selected and awarded as grand prize, second prize and final-ists.

As finalists, Goldwing won a $1,200 cash prize, a performance spot at Canada’s Walk of Fame emerging artist showcase concert and a meeting with executives at Universal Music.

“We were happy to win and we are looking forward to the meet-ing with Universal,” said Aidan Campbell, drummer and vocalist for Goldwing. “It is more of a question and answer session and we want to ask what really drives attention to a band now. We want to ask questions about how to build a future for the band and ask how we can continue to do what we love and be success-ful.”

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015 CANDIDATES

KINGSTON & THE ISLANDS

We asked Kingston and the Islands federal election candidates to answer the same four questions in 600 words: 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why do you want to be an MP? 2) What do you see as key issues here in the Kingston and the Islands riding and how do you intend

to confront and resolve them? 3) What in your opinion are some key challenges facing Canada at the national level? 4) Why should people vote for you?

About me:I am a long-time Kingstonian with

a work history in tourism as a supply coordinator for St. Lawrence Cruise Lines. I became inspired to activ-ism and volunteering by issues of democracy, local food, poverty and gender-based violence. My commu-nity service has put me in touch with members from all walks of life and given me a deep appreciation for the businesses, organizations and institu-tions in this region.

I became the NDP candidate for the last federal election after being heavily involved in the Save Our Prison Farms movement. I know from my campaign work that the people of this community are tired of this regressive government and are looking for an honest, principled and collaborative approach from their government and their Member of Parliament. These are qualities that I know I can deliver.

Local issues:The issues I hear about the most

are connected to affordability and economic opportunity. This includes affordable housing, healthcare, ac-cessible childcare, and growing our economy to create meaningful jobs.

I am confident that these issues can be addressed through the NDP’s plan. However, I believe that the most important role of a Member of Parliament is to be accessible and listen to community members in or-der to understand their concerns. My representation will be informed by the community and I will collaborate with all levels of government to get results.

National issues:Infrastructure. There is a $768 bil-

lion infrastructure deficit from fed-eral downloading to provinces and municipalities. Our federal govern-ment must do their fair share to help

local governments meet their needs for growth and quality of life.

Jobs. 1.3 million Canadians are out of work — 200,000 more than before the 2008 recession. We need

to recognize that corporate tax cuts have not created good jobs, and start looking towards small businesses, en-trepreneurs and a strengthened public sector to provide quality jobs.

Childcare. Canadians are pay-ing as much as $2,000 a month, and that leaves families struggling with the decision between sacrificing the career of one partner or adding fam-ily debt. Canadians need affordable childcare and to grow the economy and improve household budgets.

Healthcare. Many Canadians don’t have a family doctor and the expiry of the National Health Accord has put provincial healthcare at risk. An NDP government will renegotiate a new health accord and improve front line services, access to medication, and mental health and long-term care.

Environment. This is a global is-sue that requires Canadian leadership and participation. Our current gov-ernment has refused to take action against climate change and hurt our international reputation. Federal laws protecting our environment have been devalued. An NDP government will tackle climate change and work with global partners. We will restore

environmental protections and diver-sify our economy by investing in re-newable energy.

Why people should vote for me:Over the past 6 years I have been

engaged in federal politics and con-tributed to many community organi-zations and committees such as HARS Kingston, White Ribbon Kingston, the McBurney Park Neighbourhood Association, Grand Theatre Com-mittee, St. Lawrence College Student Association Board of Directors and the CFRC Board of Directors.

My involvement is inspired by my belief that everyone in Kingston and the Islands deserves equality, fair-ness, and opportunity. I have a repu-tation for being hard-working, princi-pled, collaborative, and accountable. I am committed to bringing these same qualities to the House of Com-mons and working with all levels of government to move Kingston and the Islands forward.

About me:I am not a career politician. I

spent 28 years as a Mountie polic-ing communities across BC and Ontario, specializing in taking on money launderers and arms smug-glers, and fighting terrorism. My service taught me to believe in three things: the power of bold action; the wise use of leadership; and the cour-age and honour of those who wear a uniform for our nation. Canadian Forces members, their families, and veterans are close to my heart; their well-being brought me into the realm of federal politics.

My career taught me to believe not only in the spirit of what’s possi-ble, but what’s bold and attainable.

Local issues: First, transportation. We need that

third crossing – without further de-lays. We need an enhanced airport and faster rail service. And our citi-zens of Wolfe Island will tell you we need better, more frequent ferry

service. The second area is economic de-

velopment. Like falling dominoes, we’ve witnessed the departure of industry – but our leadership has failed to replace it. We are being outhustled by the likes of Guelph, Cambridge, and Belleville.

I will spearhead a Team Kingston that includes the mayors of Kings-ton, and the Frontenac Islands, the MPP and others. I will lead the Team to move beyond the three de-cades of talk (what my opponents call “advocacy”) – and get down to action in both areas. We need better representation than a back-bencher in the third party. When I am in the government caucus, I will be an outspoken representative who accesses the infrastructure funding and development money; things my predecessor and the former mayor did not do.

National issues: Two issues of extraordinary im-

portance confront us as a nation. The first is the Canadian econo-

my. Amid global economic turmoil, where nations totter on the edge of insolvency, we need a steady hand

on the economy. The policies of the current government have shel-tered us against the cross currents

that have led the US government to incur massive debt. In spite of a world downturn in the price of oil – a commodity we easterners need to acknowledge is critical to our na-tional economy – our government has fashioned economic policies so sound that we are withstanding the pressures and employment remains solid.

The second issue is the threat of terrorism. In the past year, we witnessed two terrorism attacks on Canadian soil. We cannot afford to be complacent. ISIL has threat-ened Canada. In fact, the upheaval they are creating over there has given rise to a refugee crisis that has affected every democratic na-tion – ours included. The Liberal and NDP responses to terrorism are ineffectual and weak. As a former Mountie with experience in matters related to counterterrorism, I know firsthand the approach the Conser-vative government is pursuing will keep us safe.

Why people should vote for me: We have had 27 years of one-

party rule in Kingston. What did it accomplish? Where is the third crossing they repeatedly prom-ised? Where is the economic de-velopment that would encourage our children to make a life here? Where is their plan for the Kings-ton Penitentiary? They focus on a long-closed farm…but they have no sound vision of how to practi-cally replace it or how to create a revitalized, thriving communi-ty. That’s because, quite simply, they don’t know how to do it. You wouldn’t ask your baker to alter a suit, or a mechanic to do your land-scaping. Well, the Liberal Party here in Kingston and the Islands is long on talk and advocacy, but as the decades have proven, they just don’t know how to deliver. They are a spent force, without vision. On October 19, task this former Mountie, and then let’s get it done.

KINGSTON & THE ISLANDS

We asked Kingston and the Islands federal election candidates to answer the same four questions in 600 words: 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why do you want to be an MP? 2) What do you see as key issues here in the Kingston and the Islands riding and how do you intend

to confront and resolve them? 3) What in your opinion are some key challenges facing Canada at the national level? 4) Why should people vote for you?

About me:I am 40 years old and live in Cal-

vin Park with my wife, Vanessa, and son, Mason. I am the middle of three children born and raised in Kingston. I am a graduate of economics from Queen’s University. In the late ‘90s, I created a small property management business which currently employs five people. In 2006 I was elected as a city councillor for Portsmouth District, and in 2010 as Mayor of Kingston.

My decision to leave municipal politics and put my name forward for MP was born out of a great concern for our country and what will become of it. Watching the Harper Govern-ment for the past decade dismantle Canadian values leaves me wonder-ing what our great country will look like for my 11 year old son 50 years from now.

I am motivated by my desire to change the course our country is heading for a more prosperous future

filled with hope and aspirations for young Canadians.

Local issues:As a former Mayor of Kingston I

am very familiar with the issues fac-ing our community and the region. Working with city councils of Kings-ton and Frontenac Islands, I will de-velop priorities in partnership with them.

These will likely include the need for infrastructure investments to sup-port projects such as the third cross-ing of the Cataraqui River, providing new economic opportunities (espe-cially for young people) and building more affordable housing. I am also very interested in breathing new life into the Kingston Penitentiary site as well as re-opening the Collins Bay prison farm.

With my knowledge of how gov-ernment works and what the issues are, I will hit the ground running. I will open the necessary doors and

build the required relationships to develop strong and healthy dialogue between our local and federal gov-ernments to work collaboratively on these and other important issues.

National issues:The key challenges Canada faces

include the shrinking of our middle class, the stagnation of our economy

and our poor environmental track re-cord.

Our shrinking middle class is a seri-ous threat to our future prosperity as a nation. The Liberal Party is committed to strengthening the middle class, and those working hard to join it, by reduc-ing taxes of middle class Canadians and raising taxes for the top 1 % earners.

With historically low interest rates, now is the time to invest in infrastructure to stimulate the economy. The Liberal Party has committed to nearly doubling infrastructure investments over the next 10 years to create jobs and opportunities for Canadians. We will run modest defi-cits of $9.5B over the next three years to achieve this.

Canada’s environmental record currently sits among the lowest in the developed world. The Liberal Party has the best plan to protect our environment and grow our economy by promoting green-tech jobs and in-troducing a price on carbon to ensure producers look for new and innova-

tive ways to reduce carbon emis-sions.

Why people should vote for me:I have spent the past six months

knocking on doors, making phone calls and meeting people on the streets to listen to what matters to them.

One thing is clear: It’s time for a new federal government. A govern-ment that is focused on all citizens of our great country. A government that is compassionated and commit-ted. A realistic government base don evidence and optimism, not ideology and fear.

Having been Mayor of Kingston, I have a great understanding of the is-sues facing Kingston and the Islands and I am ready to represent our great riding as the next Member of Parlia-ment. On Oct. 19, I am asking for your vote so I can take my experi-ences and represent you to the fullest of my abilities.

About me:I am a local farmer and active

community member. I completed grad school at Queen’s and lived in Kingston on and off as the child of a military family.

I have always had a passion for politics and democracy. Working with others and helping them find their voice on issues that matter to them is something that makes me tick. That’s why I worked as co-chief steward and why I advocate for veterans. I like public speaking and researching emerging trends in society. That’s why I completed my masters and support evidence based policy. And I like to work hard. It’s one of the reasons I till the soil and work with animals and campaign on a small but balanced budget.

Add these things to my love for our country, our history and my hope for our future and I would be hon-oured to represent Kingston and The Islands in Parliament.

Local issues:Bringing good, green jobs to our

riding and region - especially for the students graduating from our post-secondary institutions - is top of mind, as is a robust affordable hous-ing and local food strategy.

I think we can do all of these things together by revitalizing the Kingston Penitentiary site. I have proposed a distillery district, deep water dock and international sailing centre at KP. Realizing this vision in partnership with the City of Kings-ton would allow local farmers, local brewers and local artisans to have a hub for their products. We could at-tract tourists from across the coun-try and around the world for art and sport. Mix these commercial and rec-reational purposes with sustainable residential development - for all in-comes - and an active transportation corridor along the waterfront and we can help create a more vibrant, inclu-sive and economically sound com-munity. I’ve championed these ideas

as a candidate and hope to champion them as MP.

National issues:Canada ought to shift our econo-

my to sustainability by incentivizing the trillion dollar clean tech industry by putting a price on carbon and end-

ing fossil fuel subsidies. We should lessen financial burdens for families and young people by cutting income taxes and forgiving student debt over $10K. We should to protect the most vulnerable by implementing a na-tional seniors strategy, providing a guaranteed livable income and add-ing pharamacare to our universal health program. We should help mu-nicipalities cover costs of infrastruc-ture by transferring 1% of the GST to them without raising taxes. And we should restore democratic health by abolishing first-past-the-post, ending whipped voting in the House of Com-mons and decreasing the size of the Prime Minister’s Office. All of these policies save us money and increase quality of life; all of them are cham-pioned by the Green Party across the country.

Why people should vote for me: I will always work to earn con-

stituents’ votes. Other parties and candidates speak about vote split-

ting as if they owned votes before voting has even occurred. This is entitled and bizarre. I hope to have earned voters’ support through my hard work and local first ap-proach.

My policies are about strong communities, health economies, true democracy and local issues. It’s why all of my campaign ma-terial was developed in Kingston with small businesses and local designers. It’s why I’ve met with community leaders and residents for the last eight months and at-tended all the debates I was invit-ed to during the campaign. Other parties and candidates pick and choose who they see or where they go in the riding.

I have demonstrated a fiscally responsible, socially progressive and environmentally conscious campaign – values I will take to the House of Commons should Kingston and The Islands honour me with that responsibility.

We asked Hastings-Lennox and Addington federal election candidates to answer the same four questions in 600 words: 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why do you want to be an MP? 2) What do you see as key issues here in the Hastings-Lennox and Addington riding and how do you

intend to confront and resolve them? 3) What in your opinion are some key challenges facing Canada at the national level? 4) Why should people vote for you?

About me:I decided to run as an MP because

I finally got mad enough at what this Conservative Government was doing to our country and its citizens. They have attacked every facet of our Ca-nadian being. The last straw for me was what they were doing and had said about our veterans.

Local issues:There are so many challenges in a

rural riding like ours, so it is difficult to pick just three; however I see job op-portunities, healthcare and infrastruc-ture/our communities as 3 big issues.

Job opportunities: Small to medium size businesses create almost 80% of the jobs in our country. To assist these employers and potential employees the NDP will reduce the small busi-ness tax rate from 11% to 9%, set up an Ombudsman to reduce credit charge fees and make available the use of paid internships and coop placements. We will also create apprenticeship spaces

to create jobs for federal infrastructure projects and will partner with munici-palities and Indigenous governments to do the same. We will reintroduce a federal minimum wage to cover the federal sector and to show leadership to the provinces and territories. For the manufacturing sector we will introduce an innovation tax credit and extend the accelerated capital cost allowance. These initiatives will help attract new investors, grow exports and create good paying jobs.

Healthcare: We will renegotiate the Health Accords with the provinces to ensure that the system is sustainable with proper funding. We will work with the provinces/territories to focus priorities on improved access to prima-ry, long-term, home care, prescription drug coverage, better mental health services and preventative measures to illnesses that affect millions of Cana-dians. We’ll show immediate leader-ship by improving healthcare that’s delivered federally. We’ll invest funds

to help build 200 clinics across Canada and work with Provinces to hire 7,000 doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and other healthcare professionals.

Infrastructure/our communities:

We will start with an additional $.01 of the gas tax and an additional $1.5 billion at the end of our first mandate to reach $3.7 billion annually in long-term investment in core infrastructure.

We will make a sustaining investment in Canada’s affordable housing agree-ments and provide incentives for the construction of 10,000 affordable and market rental units. Respecting pro-vincial jurisdiction and local decision making, we’ll simplify the application for funds and remove barriers through direct, stable and transparent transfers to the municipalities and provinces for their priorities.

National issues:Electoral reform: Introduce pro-

portional representation in time for the next election

Canada’s world reputation: Ac-cept our responsibilities in regards to Climate Change, become a leader in technology and renewable energy research and development, repair our relationship with our own First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples and repeal Bill C-51 to give back our citizens their democratic rights to dissent and privacy.

Why people should vote for me:

I have a background of 39+ years as a federal employee and 12 years as the national president of my federal Union with 26,000 members. I am familiar with the workings of government as I’ve dealt with ministers, commission-ers, party critics etc. I know how to fight for and listen to voters. I’m also capable of setting priori-ties and working within a budget.

Tom Mulcair has the experience and is ready to become prime min-ister; one who will actually like the citizens of this country and I’m ready to be the MP of this riding. We will put people first. Our plat-form is focused on the needs of av-erage Canadians, seniors, veterans and Indigenous peoples. We plan to make Canada a better place to live, a place where no one is left behind. We will make Canadians proud again!

About me:I grew up in Madoc, went to

school in Toronto where I received a degree in philosophy, started my ca-reer in 1981 as a Global High Tech Recruiter and have had my own business for 26 years. When my wife and I started our family we de-cided we wanted to raise them back in the country and moved to Lons-dale in 1994.

I’ve spent the last 17 years fight-ing against a mega dump being built on fractured limestone, a direct threat to the health of our communi-ties. When you spend time fighting against large corporate interests, it makes sense to me that you would want to be part of creating the laws and policies that would make these fights less one-sided, more balanced and fair, more with community in-terests and values at their centre. And of course, I firmly believe that Stephen Harper’s party is taking our country in the wrong direction. Our democratic institutions have

been undermined, inequality is on the rise, our environmental laws are being gutted, scientists are muzzled and/or fired, omnibus bills make Parliamentary oversight virtually impossible, accountability has given way to secrecy and obstruction, and our veterans have been treated in a manner that should shame us as Ca-nadians.

Local issues:Job creation and growthInfrastructureRetirement SecurityHealthcare

We will create jobs with the most significant infrastructure invest-ment in Canadian history; grow the middle class by raising taxes on the wealthiest 1 % and cutting taxes for middle class Canadians; and we will invest in essential social infrastruc-ture, including affordable housing, seniors facilities and child care, and provide larger tax free monthly ben-

efit to help families with the high cost of raising their kids.

We will increase the Guaranteed

Income Supplement by 10%, create a Seniors Price Index to replace CPI, reduce the retirement age back to 65 and work with provinces to raise CPP.

Finally we will work with the provinces to establish a new Health Accord.

National issues:Liberals want to bring fairness

back to our society. The wealthy have done well in the last decade or more and it is time to redistribute our country’s vast wealth back to-wards lower and middle class Ca-nadians.

One major item to add nation-ally is that we have to deal with the environment and climate change. Liberals will enter into talks with all levels of government to come up with a climate strategy. There is no one size fits all for Climate change. We need to come up with an overall number for carbon re-duction, but the different regions of the country have different issues around finding a solution to climate change and they are best suited to determine those solutions.

Why people should vote for me:For as long as I can remember

I have always tried to stand up for what is right, whether it has been our long fight against the mega dump or earlier against Market Value Assessment because unfair tax advantages were being passed along to large corporate interests at the expense of the residential tax base. My family, my community, my friends and my neighbours know me as a champion and a fighter for good causes.

I started this journey with the in-tention to represent my constituents to the best of my ability. But how can you be their voice without hav-ing heard theirs? So I set a team goal to canvass 20,000 voters and I am proud that we have surpassed that goal.

If you want an MP that will work hard enough to earn the right to rep-resent you and to be your voice in Ottawa, not Ottawa’s voice here, then please support me on Oct. 19.

Hastings-Lennox and Addington


We asked Hastings-Lennox and Addington federal election candidates to answer the same four questions in 600 words: 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why do you want to be an MP? 2) What do you see as key issues here in the Hastings-Lennox and Addington riding and how do you


About me:I have been the Member of

Parliament for Prince Edward-Hastings for the past 11 years. My political experience includes six years as a municipal councillor and deputy reeve in the municipality of Madoc. I have owned and op-erated many successful businesses over the course of my lifetime and was a member of the Ontario Pro-vincial Police. As a Member of Parliament I have been in a posi-tion to help many people, which I believe is key to this role. I have always been interested in serving and assisting the public.

Local issues:I believe key issues are em-

ployment, skills training as well

as bringing capital investments to our area. I have been heav-ily engaged in infrastructure and will continue to advocate for this area. It is important that our train-ing programs reflect the positions necessary to employ our young people. Working together with all levels of government will be the key to success.

National issues:National challenges are many: the

economic environment, public safe-ty, environment and national security to name a few. I have worked with many organizations sharing concerns with my colleagues to provide a pos-itive impact locally, regionally and nationally – given the opportunity I will continue to do so.


No one is going to work harder for constituents while balancing duties in Ottawa. Over the past 10 years we have delivered the largest infrastructure to this area - more than the past 50 years. I am committed to delivering results for our seniors, veterans, young families as well as our commu-nity organizations. Most impor-tantly – I LISTEN and take pride in the knowledge that my staff and I have established one of the busi-est constituency offices in Canada. We have had the opportunity to as-sist thousands of people - When we say how can we help you? We not only mean it – we do it!

About me:I live off the electricity grid

near Tamworth, Ontario and am an organic farmer. I am running because climate scientists are now saying we are in a period of abrupt climate disruption. Since we have not taken action on reducing our C02 emissions the climate is start-ing to change quickly and not in a good way. We need leadership on this issue and the Green Party of Canada will provide this.

Local issues: Hastings – Lennox & Adding-

ton is a marvelous area rich in natural beauty and lakes and riv-ers. In March of 2012 when we had two weeks of summer weather the snow melted too quickly and we had extensive flooding. Many people were evacuated in places like Bancroft. When they went back to their homes they discov-

ered that no insurance company in Canada provides coverage for ‘overland floods’, one where the water comes through a window or through a door. So they had to try and rely on governments for help. Some people were outside of coverage areas. With governments having to address the $6 billion damage to Calgary in their floods and the unprecedented fires that are resulting from climate change we will reach a time when they won’t be able to help. We have to take action on climate change now. The Green Party of Canada will introduce a “Fee and Dividend” program to get our greenhouse gas emissions under control. We will put a price on carbon coming out of the ground – coal, oil, gas – and place that money into an ac-count we can’t touch. Every three months every adult in Canada over 18 will get a ‘dividend’ cheque for

their share of the money in that account. The less fossil fuel you burn the more you benefit from this program. And when you get that money you’re likely to spend it on making your home more ef-

ficient, and when you upgrade in-sulation and windows you employ local contractors to do that. When you install a woodstove or geo-thermal heating system, you use someone locally. You cannot ship these jobs off shore, so you are addressing climate change while creating a vibrant local economy and inflation proofing people from energy increases.

National issues:Our current government is run

by the Prime Minister’s Office and local MPs no longer matter.

The Green Party of Canada will return democracy to Canada. We will bring in proportional rep-resentation. We will reduce the Prime Minister’s budget from $10 million to $1 million. There will be no ‘whipped’ votes, which sim-ply means MPs will vote on legis-lation in the interests of the vot-

ers who elected them, rather than what the Prime Minister tells them to do.


Climate change is now a clear and present danger not to our grandchildren in 2100, or our children in 2050, but to all of us - today. Dealing with it is not a question of technology. I live a typical North American lifestyle while not contributing any net carbon to the atmosphere from my home. This is a question of leadership and it is woefully lacking in all the other parties. Elizabeth May will put Cana-da on track to become a global leader in reducing our impact on the environment and put us back into a position of respect with our neighbours whom we share the planet with.

We asked Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston federal election candidates to answer the same four questions in 600 words: 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why do you want to be an MP? 2) What do you see as key issues here in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding and how do you


About me:I hold a MBA, I am married and

I have 4 children. I am a consul-tant in the medical field. I want to be your MP because I think I have something to offer. I have passion, I work hard, I care about people and I want to make sure Canada is the best it can be for my children and yours. I have the skills, desire and ability to serve my country and I feel it my duty to do just that.

Local Issues:The key issues here are the same

for all Canadians: good govern-ment, where people are the first concern. The direct issues fac-ing our riding are Infrastructure repairs and building. We need to fix our roads and bridges. During this campaign many of the Reeves, Mayors and Wardens have come to my campaign office and have

told me what they need in their areas from the Liberal plan on in-frastructure. They know their own communities are falling behind and will not be able to compete if these overdue projects are not started now. They worry about the future of business and farming because of a very old and crumbling infra-structure. We cannot grow jobs or keep our youth in our rural com-munities if our roads, bridges, and communications are not repaired and developed. We need also to be concerned about affordable hous-ing and childcare.

And we must show support for our farmers. We have to make sure farming is good for the country without it being paid for off the backs of our local farmers. The supply management plan must be maintained. Farmers feed all Cana-dians and the farmers must be re-

warded for their hard work and not punished for their success by an un-caring government like Harper’s.

We need to address the state of our Health Services. I will work

with the provinces to make sure the health of our citizens comes first, before price gouging by some drug companies and the indecision of a government that does not advance the needs of its vulnerable citizens. We have to address the lack of af-fordable senior residences. Our se-niors should not be stuck in a hos-pital bed when they need to be in a place where they receive respect and can live out their golden years in comfort, safety, and security.

National issues:The answer to number 3 is the

same as what this riding needs. Our local issues reflect issues that we need to fix across the country, which is why the Liberal plan is the best plan to keep Canada strong, to grow the economy and to rebuild what Harper has neglected or dis-mantled.

Why people should vote for me:I hope that people will vote for

me because they see me as the per-son who will listen to their concerns, ideas and problems. I ask people to vote for me because I think what is important to my family is likely to be the same for everyone’s fam-ily. We all have issues that can and should be addressed by our elected MPs. I know my strength is listening to a problem and then finding a solu-tion. I do that as a consensus builder. I do not know all the answers but I know where to get them. I know it is important to connect with people and be part of the solution by making sure any problem we have is dealt with through to a conclusion. I am a fighter. I work hard. I care about people. With a Liberal government in Ottawa, this riding needs a Liberal voice. I am that voice, a voice for real change.

About me:I became a town councillor over

17 years ago and Mayor of Perth 10 years ago, but my commitment to public service is even longer than that, having been a social worker for nearly 30 years. Through this time, I felt that each day serving the needs of my community was extremely rewarding. I feel that I can contrib-ute even more as a Member of Par-liament now, using my experience and knowledge of the community and building on what I have accom-plished municipally. With all that has gone on at the federal level over the past 10 years, it seemed like the right time to change the way that I contrib-ute, while maintaining my commit-ment to the people of this riding and to public service.

Local issues:Creating more jobs is the num-

ber one issue. Our young people are finding it very difficult to make ends meet and many are leaving the rid-ing to find work. That’s a negative for the whole community. I feel the NDP plan for small business tax cuts and investment in manufacturing, tourism and forestry, as well as our commitment to local farming is the right plan for creating jobs in this riding and I want to help implement that plan.

In addition, caring for our seniors is really important to me and to the riding. The NDP has made a real commitment to ensuring that seniors have secure incomes and the health and homecare they need to retire with dignity.

National issues:What in your opinion are some

key challenges facing Canada at the national level and how should they be addressed?

Ensuring a healthy environment is perhaps the most pressing issue and Tom Mulcair’s approach to balancing strict environmental assessment and enforcement with economic growth is the right one for Canada.

Managing the economy, with in-vestments that help people is the other top priority for Canada. Nei-ther the Conservative approach that put all of our reliance on resource extraction nor the Liberal plan to run deficits is the right way to go. The NDP is offering balanced, serious

leadership on the economy, striving for growth and protecting the most vulnerable while committing to bal-anced budgets. That is the way we need to go.

Why people should vote for me:I bring experience in government

and detailed knowledge of the rid-ing, but more than that, I bring a col-laborative style and a commitment to working with people in the riding. I will spend my time working with constituents on the issues that mat-ter to them. These are attributes that I think set me apart from the other candidates. I also think that the NDP offers the most balanced, thoughtful plan for moving Canada forward and deserves the support of voters.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015 CANDIDATESLanark-Frontenac-Kingston



exclusive web content.Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, October 8, 2015 31

We asked Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston federal election candidates to answer the same four questions in 600 words: 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why do you want to be an MP? 2) What do you see as key issues here in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding and how do you


About me:I am a retired high school sci-

ence teacher and a grandmother. I volunteer for several climate action groups. In 2003 I was compelled to join the Green Party to help bring an environmental focus to politi-cal decisions. I want to be part of a strong Green presence in Parlia-ment to formulate an ambitious greenhouse gas reduction plan to take to the UN climate talks in Par-is this December. Canada has led on environmental issues in the past (e.g. PM Mulroney convinced Pres-ident Regan to take action on acid rain) and we can do so again. As a Green MP I will truly represent my neighbours in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston because the Green Party does not tell MPs how to vote.

Local issues:We have lost a lot of jobs in this

riding. Factories shut down due to free trade and our previously high dollar. The recession in 2008-09 further exacerbated the situation.

The Green Party will support small businesses and facilitate invest-ment in new green enterprises. A revenue neutral carbon fee and div-idend will encourage investment in clean technologies and create local businesses to retrofit all buildings for energy efficiency. All money collected from the fee placed on the carbon content of fossil fuels will be returned equally to all Ca-nadians. Middle class and lower income Canadians will break even or receive more in dividends than the extra costs they will incur. This system can quickly help relieve fi-nancial worries. In the longer term, we will implement a Guaranteed Livable Income (GLI) for all Cana-dians. A GLI would provide a regu-lar payment to every Canadian, at a level above the poverty line, but with incentives for recipients to continue working. It will save money and cut red tape by elimi-nating the bureaucracy needed for current social support benefits.

We are committed to dedicating

one percentage point of GST rev-enue to municipal infrastructure projects. This will build and repair roads and bridges and public tran-sit. Municipalities will be encour-aged to hire young workers so they can gain valuable work experience and stay in their home communities. Agriculture is also a concern.

New trade deals threaten our sup-ply management systems. We will support young people who want to farm, as well as farmers’ markets, small-scale farms and producers, wineries and microbreweries.

Our Seniors’ Strategy will help seniors stay in their homes longer, with the supports they need. Our national pharmacare program will ensure that prescription drugs are available to everyone. A National Housing Strategy will ensure that everyone has access to appropriate housing.

National issues:The economy is the biggest

concern. The biggest threat to our economy and to the health and safety of Canadians is our frag-ile environment. A simple price on carbon pollution will boost the economy while protecting the poor from rising costs. We all need to work together to build a better Canada. A Council of Canadian Governments, will include repre-

sentation from federal, provincial, territorial, municipal, First Na-tions, Metis and Inuit governments. The Council will foster discussion and cooperation to achieve com-mon goals. National strategies are needed for energy, climate action, healthcare, housing, seniors’ sup-port and transportation.

Why people should vote for me:The Green Party has the best

policies to solve the problems of today and direct Canada toward a prosperous post-carbon future. Taking care of the environment that sustains us is the very best economic decision that we can make. If you want the best future for your grandchildren and their grandchildren too, vote Green. I will go to Ottawa as a true repre-sentative of residents of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston and I will push for policies that will benefit us the most rather than large for-eign corporations.

About me:I’m Scott Reid, your Conserva-

tive Party candidate. I have been the Member of Parliament for Frontenac County since 2004, and was first elected in Lanark-Car-leton in 2000. In Ottawa, I serve as the Chairman of the House of Commons subcommittee on Inter-national Human Rights. I have con-sistently defended property rights, in cooperation with your provincial representatives, and I have demon-strated my commitment to listen-ing to you by regularly asking you how I should vote on critical issues

through six “constituency referen-dums”. I respect the opinions of the people, and have voted according to the majority of ballots cast by you in these referendums.

I am proud to represent you, and

this area. I am asking for your sup-port to continue working for you in Ottawa, and to continue bringing your thoughts and wishes to the na-tional conversation.

Local issues:

The key to ensuring the greatest

prosperity for our area is to ensure our national economy grows and remains stable. Only a Conserva-tive government can be trusted to protect our national economy through its responsible, balanced budget plan, with more support for families and seniors, more action to crack down on crime, and lower taxes for you.

National issues:I believe that tax dollars belong

to families and not to the govern-ment, and that the best govern-ments are those that ensure Canadi-

ans keep more of their hard-earned money in their own pockets so they to make the right choices for their families and children.

Why people should vote for

me:By earning your vote, I can

bring back to Parliament Hill my 15 years of experience represent-ing the people of this area to con-tinue working for you. Vote now, vote at the Advance Polls, or vote on Monday October 19th. I hope I can count on your support.

Kingston’s Goldwing recognized as finalist of the Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Program

For the members of the band, playing and recording music is what they enjoy the most and re-ceiving awards and recognition just solidifies to them that they are do-ing something right.

“This experience is really great because it shows us that we are as good as we think we are and it gives us a chance to go somewhere with this,” said Gollogly. “We’d like to be doing this every day, all day for

as long as we can.”While the band considers them-

selves a mix of folk and rock sounds, their win in Nashville last year came in the category of coun-try - but that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“The song was also a runner up in the rock category and that was cool because we are always ask-ing ourselves what kind of music we want to be making, but it was great to see that people enjoyed the song for what it was and it didn’t

really matter where it fell in terms of genre,” said Campbell.

For Goldwing, it really is all about the music and even making money comes second.

“It is not about the money for us because everything we make goes back into the music. If we can one day make enough to do it forever we will be happy,” said Gollogly.

The band is currently working on a new album, but otherwise they are simply focusing on the experiences of right now and enjoying them to-gether.

“We just enjoy being together and doing what we love,” said Campbell. “We made a point of get-ting together and travelling in the same vehicle. We want to enjoy the

camaraderie and the excitement of it all because nothing is a given in this business anymore.”

ENCHANTÉ

Writer’s work goes from page to stage

Enchanté – You couldn’t ask for a better hook or promo line than Morgan Wade’s one-sentence syn-opsis for his new novel: “Bottle & Glass–a story of survival and es-cape told from the barstools of two dozen boisterous Kingston taverns at the end of the War of 1812.”

That pretty well gives you an idea of what’s to come in the book.

The idea first sparked in Wade more than ten years ago.

“After we moved here in 2001, Fort Henry really captured my imagination. I thought of setting a story in the fort. I tried to feel what it would be like to be some raw re-cruit miles from home.”

Wade said he’s an amateur histo-ry buff, so it was important to him to keep the book true to history.

“These sorts of things in history you don’t want to fictionalize,” he said. “But what would have been going through someone’s head in

1814 is fun to imagine.”He started his research and spent

a lot of time in places like the Queen’s University Archives.

“I kept coming up against all these interesting bits of history around taverns and inns. There was a prevalence of drinking establish-ments in Kingston 200 years ago. In those days tea-totalling was consid-ered unhealthy.”

Learning about Kingston’s his-tory prompted Wade to move the setting of his novel to the city’s im-bibing headquarters. When he dis-covered the impact of impressment, that sealed the pub deal.

Many nations used impressment to take men into their navies by force. Press gangs served to staff Royal Navy ships. During the early 19th century it is estimated that 120,000 sailors had been pressed into service in the British fleet.

“I was stunned by some of the stories I found,” said Wade. “You’d have men serving on ships for years, and when they got 24 hours shore leave, they’d get paid for the past five years. They had all this money and 24 hours to spend it. There was mayhem in port towns. I

really wanted to incorporate all the great taverns and inns I was read-ing about. When it started coming together, each chapter was set in a different tavern.”

In the first pages of Bottle and Glass, there are maps of early Kingston. Taverns and inns sat on most corners. Sailors wouldn’t have to walk far fon a pub crawl.

Chapter one opens in late sum-mer 1813 at The Rode and Shackle, a public house.

And the opening line? It’s a gem:

“Glasses and bottles trembled.”The tone is set. Wade lets the

reader know up front that it’s go-ing to be an interesting ride in this piece of history.

Throughout the book, there are good hooks teasing the reader’s in-terest.

In Chapter Ten—Violin, Bottle,and Glass—the descriptions are vivid and the observations as-tute.

The description: “the atmosphere was soupy inside Mr. Poncet’s tav-ern, at the sign of the Violin, Bottle, and Glass, at the edge of Sir John’s Park; thick with sweat, breath, and

desire.”The observation: “The bored

needed distraction.”This is a storyteller who knows

how to write. Wade grew up north of Toronto

in the small town of Tottenham, but he took to the road when he turned 19 and headed on a continental road trip with a friend, emulating Ker-ouac along the way (i.e., they slept in the car).

When he returned to Canada, he attended McMaster for a degree in philosophy with a minor in com-parative literature. He followed this with a Master of Philosophy Degree in Halifax. Although he had an offer of acceptance to the PhD program at York, he said he saw the writing on the career wall.

“I realized that the job market was terrible and I’d have to transi-tion into some other work. There was an intensive program in com-puter training in Halifax. It was geared to the arts student.”

Wade signed up in the program and ended up with a job in Austin, Texas. After a couple of years in computer programming in Texas, Wade and his wife felt homesick for Canada. They wanted to start a family. They set a target of Ottawa.

“It’s a tech town like Austin, so we thought we’d end up there,” he said. “We kept hearing great things about Kingston, so we thought we should give it a look. We did, and we just stayed. We’ve been here since 2001.”

The City of Kingston itself is an inspiration to any writer. But for Wade, who is writing historical fiction, he’s found himself at the source of key Canadian history.

“The act of creation and the pro-cess of writing is fulfilling to me. Every human being needs a creative outlet. This one is mine. This proj-ect is particularly important as it re-ally lets me explore and understand where I live and how I fit in.”

Bottle and Glass is set in 1814 until the end of 1815. It’s the first in a trilogy.

“I envision the trilogy going up until Kingston becomes the first capital.”

The second book will move be-yond tavern life and look at the role and development of newspapers.

“It’s interesting to watch the rise of the press at that time. Lots of newspapers were being founded. It’s parallel to what’s happening in the blogosphere today.”

He said that in the second book he also wants to take on the con-flicts between the Whigs and To-ries.

“You had this struggle between reformers and the establishment. In the third book, I’ll deal with the whole cholera epidemic. There’s also the Great Awakening that was happening across the water.”

The (second) Great Awakening was unlike other periods of religious revival. In addition to religious evangelical fervor, there were on-going reforms like women’s rights, abolition and temperance. There’s also a certain pirate by the name of William Johnson who could make an appearance anywhere in this time frame. Sounds like great fod-der for that third novel.

Bottle and Glass brings history to life.

Writer’s work goes from page to stage

Kingston author Morgan Wade’s new novel, Bot-tle and Glass, will be adapted for stage by The-atre Kingston.

Photo/Mark Bergin

Theatre Kingston will be turning the novel into a 3D production; the best kind of 3D, a play.

Brett Christopher, Artistic Pro-ducer of Theatre Kingston, got wind of Bottle and Glass and thought it

would make prime stage material. If anyone knows what will make good

stage material, it’s the man who has produced such recent gems as Red and Venus in Fur.

“Brett’s going to produce a site specific play,” said Wade.

At the local launch of Bottle and Glass, held at the Queen’s Inn, there was a staging of a scene from the book.

“We had a brief preview at the [book] launch,” said Wade. “It was so exhilarating for me to see char-acters from my book come to life. I’m looking forward to people shar-ing that experience with me.”

Wade explained that he hopes that he’s struck a balance between literary fiction and the creation of a fun read.”

“There’s a cliché that history is boring, especially Canadian histo-ry. It’s so not true. I’m also aiming to portray Kingston as a character unto itself. I want people to get a sense of place and a better under-standing of what has happened on this ground we walk on every day.”

Hear the BEEP where you SLEEP Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm! Fire Prevention Week Oct. 4-10, 2015

Half of home fire deaths happen between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep.

Install smoke alarms in every

bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the

home, including the basement. Larger homes may need

more alarms.

For the best protection, install interconnected

smoke alarms in your home. When one sounds, they

all sound.

Test alarms at least once a month by pushing the test button.

years

Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or if they do not sound when tested.

Some people, especially children and older adults, may need help to wake up. Make sure someone will wake them if the smoke alarm sounds.

When the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place.

Call the fire department from a cellphone or a neighbor’s phone. Stay outside until the fire department says it’s safe to go back inside.

For more information about smoke alarms, visit www.usfa.fema.gov and www.firepreventionweek.org.

SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES. Every home needs smoke alarms. They should be installed on every level of the home (including the basement), outside each sleeping area, and inside each bedroom. A smoke alarm makes a, “beep, beep, beep” sound. Between each set of three beeps is a slight pause — “beep, beep, beep, pause, beep, beep, beep, pause,” and so on. A smoke alarm senses smoke. It will sound if there is smoke in the home — possibly from a re. When the smoke alarm sounds, everyone should leave the home. Everyone should know the sound of the smoke alarm and how to respond quickly.

Everyone should know the sound of the smoke alarm and how to respond quickly.

A HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLAN is a plan to get out of the home quickly in case there is a fire. Every room in the home needs two ways out. One way out would be the door and the second way out may be another door or a window. Every home fire escape plan needs an outside meeting place. A meeting place is a permanent location in front of the home, a safe distance from the home. A good meeting place might be a neighbor’s home, a street light, a mailbox, a neighborhood store or a special tree. Everyone in the family should go to the meeting place so everyone will be together and grown-ups will know that everyone is safe. Families should practice their home fire drill at least twice a year.

A smoke alarm will let you know if there is a fire in your home. You need smoke alarms in your home. It is important to have a smoke alarm in your bedroom so the smoke

alarm will beep where you sleep. If there is smoke, the smoke alarm will make a loud “beep, beep, beep,

pause, beep, beep, beep pause.” If the smoke alarm sounds, stop what you are doing. Get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place until an adult says it is safe to go back

inside.

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION

SOME FAST FACTS ABOUT FIREThe leading information and knowledge resource on re, electrical and related hazards

Cooking equipment is the leading cause of home re injuries, followed by heating equipment.

During 2007-2011, roughly one of every 320 households had a reported home re per year.

Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home res in half.

When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected, or dead.

According to an NFPA survey, only one-third of households have both developed and practiced a home re escape plan.

Almost three-quarters of households do have an escape plan; however, more than half never practiced it.

Two of every ve home res started in the kitchen.

Failure to clean was a factor contributing to ignition in 17% of reported home res involving ovens or rotisseries.

Fifty-ve percent of people injured in home res involving cooking equipment were hurt while attempting to ght the re themselves.

The Kingston Frontenacs picked up a single point but lost their home opener of the regular season 4-3 in overtime to the Barrie Colts. The Frontenacs held the lead twice during the game and got goals from Chad Duchesne, Juho Lammikko and rookie Ryan Cranford. Andrew Mangiapane, Michael Webster (2) and Roy Radke replied for Barrie. It was a very physi-cal contest with forty eight minutes in penalties. The Frontenacs head out to play four games on the road before returning to the K-Rock Centre against Osha-wa on October 7.Kingston rounded out the weekend with a 6-5 shoot out win in London on Saturday and a 4-3 shoot out loss in Sarnia on Sunday. The Fronten-acs earned four of a possible six points last weekend. You can catch them next at the K-Rock Centre Friday, Oct. 9 against Mississauga.

Many Kingstonians turned out for the free community celebration of healthy, active living in Macdonald Park, City Park and Springer Market Square. The family-friendly event, held in conjunction with Kingston Culture Days, featured displays and demonstrations from a dozen local sport and recreation organizations promoting healthy lifestyles through active transportation, physical activity and participation in sport, recreation and culture. Partic-ipants had the opportunity to try their hand at rugby, lacrosse, dance, gymnastics, cheer-leading, fencing, family fitness and wheelchair basketball. (Above) Luca Piomelli (l-r), Ki-ersten Schwann and Aryan Samii try their hand at wheelchair bas-ketball.

Drama ensues over drawing that vanishes into “thin air”

Lifestyle – Emerson was raging mad. He was thumping around the kitchen, arms waving, and his face was the colour of his flaming red hair. “It was right there, I tell ya,” he said, stabbing his finger on top of

a pile of notepaper. “I accidentally folded down a corner of the sheet, and I put it into this stack of pa-pers to smooth it out, and I haven’t touched it since. Someone has de-liberately taken it out of there, and it sure wasn’t me.”

It had darkened enough that night in late September, that Mother had lit the coal oil lamps and one sat at either end of the old pine ta-ble. With the exception of Father, who as usual was sitting in front of the Findlay Oval in his rocking chair

with his feet up on the oven door, we five chil-dren were oc-cupied with our favourite pas-times. Mother was working on her scrap books, Everett was mak-ing a new sling shot, Earl was carving some an-imal from a piece of smooth wood he had found, and Audrey was at-tempting to teach me once again how to make French knots on the end of a flour

bag tea towel.Emerson had been working on yet

another one of his crazy drawings of a building with glass walls and an elevator going up the outside. He had drawn and erased the one sheet, and he claimed he had accidentally turned down the top right corner. To straighten it out he had tucked into the big pile of sheets already full of his crazy ideas of how his buildings were going to look when he became famous. And now the sheet was gone. Into thin air. And he knew for a fact that one of us sitting around the table had taken it out of the pile for spite!

“And it was my best drawing yet,” he roared. “I even had glass doors on the building. This was going to be a building like no one has ever seen before, and someone in this very room has taken it right out of this pile of papers.” And he closed his fist and banged it down on the pile of sheets before him.

Nobody paid him any heed. Em-erson was always ranting about something, and it often had to do with his crazy drawings put to the paper tablets Mother bought for him on the one-cent sale at the Rexall Drug Store in Renfrew.

“Hours of work I put into that drawing,” he said. It was amaz-ing to me how no one paid him any

heed. Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal, Mother continued to cut pieces out of the Philadelphia Enquirer and paste them into her scrap book, and Ever-ett and Earl kept right on doing what they were doing.

Finally, Mother suggested he start at the top of the pile of papers and work his way to the bottom, just in case that particular sheet somehow got tucked into the stack. Emer-son said he had done that and the drawing was gone. “Gone, I tell you! Gone! And when I find out who took it out of this pile (and he pounded the stack again for good measure) he’ll pay dearly.”

The evening was wearing on, and my fingers were stiff from holding the needle and the embroidery cot-ton trying desperately to master the French knot, which as far as I was concerned was a lost cause. I knew I would never be as clever as my sister Audrey, and trying to teach me the fine art of embroidery was a complete waste of her time.

I forced a yawn and asked my sister if we could put the embroi-dery away, and maybe take a look through the brand new Eaton’s cata-logue, which had just come. It was sitting on the top of the ice box, and this time of year I spent many a happy hour going through the thick

catalogue working my way from the corsets in the front, right through to the cream separators in the back.

Audrey brought it to the table, put it in front of me, and told me to start where ever I wanted. I de-cided to flip to the Christmas sec-tion...toys...candies...girl’s pretty clothes. Well! What I found, smack in the middle of the catalogue was Emerson’s missing drawing!!! There it was, as large as life. Emerson saw it at the same time. He slapped his forehead, his face turned even redder if that was possible. And in a voice barely heard, admitted to put-ting it in the middle of Eaton’s cata-logue to straighten out the page that had a corner fold.

Gentle Earl demanded an apol-ogy, Everett put a wad of paper wet with spit in his new sling shot and hit Emerson dead on, Father said a swear word in German, Audrey rolled her eyes, and Mother closed her scrap book, let out a long sigh, and ordered us all to bed.

Another exciting night at North-cote had come to an end.

Many things to consider when buying winter tires

Like death and taxes, the approach of winter brings a third inevitability; snow covered roads. Thankfully a large portion of our driving population has realized the necessity of winter tires, making everyone’s commute that much safer. As for the rest, well that’s what ditches and tow trucks are for. But buy-ing winter tires doesn’t necessarily have to mean breaking the bank.

Optional tire sizing. If your ride is equipped with 18” or larger tires (or has low profile tires) you can be excused for reaching for some heart medica-tion when you get a quote for winter tires. These increasingly popular larger tires can be very expensive to buy, but in many cases there are alternatives. Check with your local retailer regarding the option of moving down to a smaller tire. Many models with large wheels can accommodate smaller rims and tires but it’s important to check before you buy to avoid the headache of find-ing out after the fact that the rims won’t fit. The second benefit for a smaller tire is a narrower tread face. Most original equipment larger diameter tires have

equally wide treads. These are great for summer driving on dry pavement, but in snow or slush they become skis provid-ing precious little traction.

Winter rims. If you don’t have a separate set of winter rims you’re faced with the cost of dismounting the sum-mer tires and remounting and balancing the winters twice a year. The average price on this is around $20 each wheel or $160 per year. It also brings the risk of damage to both the rim and tire. With a set of winter rims you’re only looking at the equivalent cost of a tire rotation twice a year for about $50 total. So you can save over $100 each year with winter rims and eliminate the risk of damaging your summer alloy wheels (not to mention saving them from salt pitting). When looking for winter rims, avoid multi-fit units that are designed to fit several different vehicles. Many universal-fit rims require spacer-plates or hub-rings to make them mount prop-erly and often require the use of special wheel nuts. A direct-fit or hub-centric rim often costs only a few dollars more and can avoid a lot of headaches and costs.

Tire pressure sensors. Many con-sumers avoid equipping their winter tire/rim packages with tire pressure sen-sors due to costs. But consider that your factory tire pressure sensing system is a safety system. You can save money by bypassing your vehicle manufacturer

and going with the original maker of just about every tire pressure sensor on the planet; Schrader. Schrader sensors can range in price from $30-$60 each for most mainstream vehicles.

Don’t forget about insurance dis-counts. Many drivers balk at the cost of winter tires but if you drive on snow tires you’re saving the wear on your summer units. When you factor in in-surance premium discounts for winter tire use (and several of the big firms offer them) there really isn’t any extra cost for winter tires but there is a wealth of improved driving safety.

Be wary of advertised specials. The biggest tire sale special is the ‘Buy 3 Get 1 Free’ deal. But often the fine print tells you that you must pay MSRP for those three tires or that certain sizes or manufacturers are excluded. Most tire retailers put a lower mark-up on tires compared to other automotive parts and often their regular price for four is cheaper than MSRP for three. And there are no restrictions.

Consider tire storage. Many shops offer seasonal tire storage at reasonable rates. They do this because it brings you and your auto back to their store season after season. When you consider that the average mounted passenger or light truck tire can weigh in excess of 70 lb. each (not to mention the space they take up in your garage or basement), you may want to take them up on the offer.

Don’t forget about buying used. Al-most every time a consumer buys a new or newer vehicle, they find that the win-ter tire/rim package they had for their old one won’t fit their new ride. That’s why online classified ads are filled with used tires and rims for sale (often for less than half the cost of new). Be cau-tious about claims that they will fit your vehicle. Either take the time to get the measurements and specs on what you need or come prepared to dry-fit one on your vehicle before making the pur-

chase.If you have any questions, opinions,

John and Heather Price, in partnership with Justin Chenier, Executive Director of Business Operations with the Kingston Frontenacs Hockey Club, know what community involvement is all about. This is the 3rd year that John and Heather have donated 12 tickets to every Frontenacs regular season home game for CFB and RMC members and their families. At each game, these Military members are recognized and thanked for their service. Together, John, Heather and Justin, organize two special annual events, a Remembrance Day game in November and a Military Appreciation game in February. To honour our Military, the Frontenacs wear their CADPAT camo uniforms and both events include a special pre-game ceremony.

Recognizing the Community

Curb appeal can help a home get no-ticed in a bustling real estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable interior.

Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, anyone’s home can take on a more appealing look.

Clean upA messy, untamed front yard can de-

tract from a perfectly acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and home’s exte-rior is one of the easiest and most cost-ef-fective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store children’s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps can improve curb appeal instantly.

Spruce up the lawnA well-manicured lawn can go a

long way to making a home more ap-pealing. If your thumb is anything but green, hire a professional lawn and gar-den service to help you establish a lush, green lawn.

Dress to impress

The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of color can’t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terra-cotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional.

Rely on symmetrySymmetry is pleasing to the eye and

easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your proper-ty. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items re-ally can have an impact.

Don’t forget lightingOutdoor lighting adds appeal and

safety to a property. Use lighting to ac-cent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few people en-joy approaching a dark home, and out-door lighting can ensure your property always is well-lit. Remember, curb ap-peal is applicable both day and night.

Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in how others view your home.

Apartment living has its advantages. Without a mortgage to pay, many apartment dwellers feel more free than homeowners who still have decades of payments left be-fore they can pay off their homes. And when apartments need fixing, such responsibilities fall on the shoulders of the landlord instead of the tenants.

But apartment living has its downsides as well, most notably that apartments are often much less spacious than homes. Cramped quarters can make apartment living un-comfortable, but there are ways apartment dwellers can make even the most confined living spaces seem more roomy.

• Clear the clutter. The easiest and per-haps most effective way to conquer cramped living quarters is to remove clutter and work diligently to avoid its accumulation once it’s gone. Only buy new furnishings when you need them to replace existing items, and re-sist the urge to treat dressers, coffee tables and dining areas as storage areas for junk you won’t use or mail you have not opened.

• Purchase some multi-purpose furniture. Multi-purpose furniture, such as storage

ottomans or bedroom benches that include storage areas for bed linens or bath towels, can be an apartment dweller’s best friend. When buying a new bed frame, look for one that has built-in storage drawers so you have even more space to store bedding and other items. Such pieces add both aesthetic appeal and serve practical purposes for apartment dwellers with limited closet space.

• Wall-mount your television. While to-day’s televisions are nowhere near as bulky as their predecessors from decades past, many apartment dwellers still place their televisions atop bulky television stands. But you can create more space in your entertain-ment room by wall-mounting your televi-sion. Renters may be hesitant to mount their televisions for fear of losing a substantial chunk of their deposits, but the majority of today’s mounts won’t do much more harm to the walls than more traditional wall hang-ings.

• Make use of your vertical space. Shelv-ing units and bookcases can be great allies to apartment dwellers because these items make use of an apartment’s vertical space.

Many apartment dwellers underutilize their vertical space, but items that go up instead of out can create more room in an apartment and allow homeowners to keep items they may otherwise have to discard.

• Reconsider your work space. Men and women who work from home may find their work spaces take up considerable chunks of their apartments. But how many items in your work space do you still need? Many professionals no longer print documents, so if you still have space allotted for printers you might be able to redo such areas without affecting your workday. In addition, large desks were once sought after because they made perfect homes for desktop computers.

But if you now use a laptop or tablet when working from home, you likely don’t need as much desk space as you once did. Downsiz-ing to a smaller desk and work area can open up a substantial amount of space without af-fecting your ability to work from home.

Smaller living quarters are a disadvantage to apartment living, but you can take sev-eral steps to make your living spaces less cramped.

(MS) — Create a dramatic new look throughout your home or highlight one area with crown molding — the key to an upscale look for walls, windows, doors, cabinets and more. Homeowners will find the tools and sup-plies necessary for crown molding projects at Woodcraft.

Although crown molding is generally identi-fied as trim for the area where a wall meets the ceiling, molding is used for many other home décor applications. Molding creates an appeal-ing visual element when used at chair height along a wall, sometimes with thin vertical pieces attached to accent a wider area. Mold-ing also serves as an attractive window cor-nice or as a frame for a wall-hung flat screen television or vertical mirror. The possibilities are only limited by homeowners’ imaginations and finances.

“Crown molding is an inexpensive approach to adding beautiful detail to your home,” Woodcraft national power tool sales manager Andrew Bondi said, “and Woodcraft is the go-to source for tools and supplies for molding and trim projects.”

Bondi speaks from experience, having re-cently installed crown molding throughout his house.

Before lifting the first piece of molding, ho-meowners will want to do some research about molding and installation techniques and tips. “Cutting and Installing Crown Molding,” a DVD by Jim Heavey, and “Crown Molding & Trim: Install It Like a Pro!,” a book by Wayne Drake, are good resources.

A miter saw, like DeWalt’s 10” Single-Bevel Miter Saw, is essential for cutting crown mold-ing joints. To make the process easier, Wood-craft recommends using a cutting jig with the miter saw — either the General Tools EZ Pro Crown King Crown Molding Jig or the Kreg Crown-Pro Miter Saw Guide that features a bonus measurement transfer angle finder. If

your project involves a coped cut, Woodcraft stocks Eclipse Coping Saws and Gröz Coping Saw Frames.

“Remember to protect your eyes,” product manager Jessica Douglas said. “Pick up a pair of SAS Safety Glasses before you begin your project. The lightweight glasses can be worn alone or over eyeglasses.”

For all the marking and measuring necessary to prepare the molding, you will find the mul-tipurpose Kreg Multi-Mark Marking Gauge in-dispensable. To fill any small gaps, Woodcraft recommends Famowood Wood Filler, along with Norton 5X Small Area Sanding Sponges for smoothing filled holes.

Once the molding is cut and ready for fas-tening, use the Grex 18-gauge Green Buddy Nailer, which offers precision control and both sequential and contact trigger applications.

“If you are going to back your molding with an adhesive prior to nailing, Titebond’s No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue for molding and trim is a great product to use,” said Woodcraft senior product manager Peter Collins, “espe-cially if you are going to use a headless pinner to install trim.”

Painting crown molding can be simple — blending in with the wall or ceiling color — or new color can be introduced to match furnish-ings or accent the overall décor.

“General Finishes Milk Paint and Old Fashioned Milk Paint, both water-based, are available in many colors and can be mixed to create an extensive palette of custom col-ors,” product manager Kent Harpool said. “Both brands also offer related products to produce special decorative effects, such as antiquing and distressing.”

Harpool recommends Redtree Bristle Brushes or Foam Brushes for applying paint. Use Microfiber Tack Cloths to remove sand-ing dust before applying paint or after dis-tressing.

Kingston Best Selection of Natural & Faux Thin-Stone Veneers

Autumn is upon us, and with the change of seasons comes the fall to-do list that must be completed before the arrival of winter weather. Many outdoor jobs are best completed before temperatures drop, while others can be tackled indoors to help save energy and prepare for in-creased time spent inside the home.

Outdoor cleanupAutumn means leaves are falling from trees

and littering landscapes. Cleaning up leaves can be a time-consuming task, but it’s neces-sary to promote the health of lawns and other plants. Grass that is completely matted down with leaves can become starved for light and moisture, and lawns may even rot when forced to spend winter beneath fallen leaves.

One eco-friendly timesaver is to shred leaves with a mower (a manual mower is preferable) and leave them as topdressing for the lawn. As long as the grass blades can be seen within the leaves, the lawn should be fine. Shredded leaves will decompose and add necessary nu-trients and organic matter to the soil naturally.

Leaves also can be used in annual flower and vegetable gardens to improve the soil. Mulch made from shredded leaves can be placed on the soil around trees and shrubs. This helps to reduce weed problems and pro-tects root systems from harsh temperature fluctuations.

Clothing donationsIt’s time to pack away summer clothing

and once again fill closets and drawers with sweaters and jeans. Before packing away your summer wardrobe, conduct an inven-tory to determine if there are any items you no longer use. Donate these items or use them as rags when cleaning.

Keep some short-sleeved shirts accessi-ble so you can layer them under sweatshirts and sweaters. The heat from layering will be trapped against your body and keep you cozi-er, reducing your reliance on HVAC systems to stay warm.

Home repairsCheck the roof for any missing shingles.

In addition, look for spots where animals or insects may be able to gain entry into your home. Seal these areas and repair any leaks. This will make your home more efficient later on when winter hits its stride.

Remove window air conditioners for the winter. If they can’t be removed, seal them with caulking or tape and cover them with an airtight, insulated jacket. If you have forced-air systems, move furniture away from the vents so that air can flow better around the home and keep it comfortable.

Check weatherstripping around windows and doors and make the necessary adjust-ments. Installing additional insulation also can help reduce energy consumption.

A few tips can help homeowners prepare for autumn in eco-friendly ways.

LIMITED SPACE?

Home renovations are typically ex-citing, as homeowners get to see the visions of their dream homes come to light right before their very eyes. Turn-ing an outdated bathroom into a mod-ern oasis or an empty basement into the ultimate man cave strengthens the sense of attachment homeowners have with their homes.

But few home renovation projects go from start to finish without experi-encing a few bumps in the road along the way. Such bumps can be difficult to handle for homeowners working on their first renovation projects, but there are many ways for novices to navi-gate the sometimes murky waters of home improvement projects and come out relatively unscathed on the other end, where a newly renovated home awaits.

• Plan well and know what to ex-pect. When working with contractors, get all agreements in writing and spell out exactly what you desire in a home

renovation. Photo references can help guide contractors and architects. Ask for the full picture of what can be ex-pected with the work, from demolition to the punch list. Knowing what lies ahead can keep you grounded through-out the project.

• Discuss work each day and set payment schedules. Make payments contingent on work completed. This can help keep contractors on schedule. Paying for all work upfront leaves ho-meowners at a disadvantage, as it does not provide incentive for workers to be timely and efficient. Check in with workers to get daily progress reports.

• Have reasonable expectations. A renovation project may exceed its budget and take longer than initially expected. Understanding that these potential setbacks might be part of the process will make it easier to handle them when the foreman speaks to you about any issues that arise.

• Accept the mess. Construction

work is messy. There’s no way to main-tain a pristine house when contractors are entering and exiting all day. Dust is bound to be generated, and tools can fill up rooms. A home in disarray can be stressful, but continue to visualize the end result and the mess won’t both-er you so much.

• Establish a contingency plan. Bathrooms and kitchen renovations are typically the most disruptive home improvement projects. Going without a kitchen can make it difficult to en-joy meals at home, while a bathroom remodel may require you to navigate water shutoffs. If your project is sched-uled to take several months, establish a contingency plan to deal with the con-sequences of your renovation project. Speak with family members about us-ing some of their home amenities, and prepare and freeze meals in advance so you can reheat them later on when you don’t have access to your stove.

• Plan your escape. Sometimes the

constant work and mess of construc-tion is too much to bear. Afford your-self time away by visiting relatives or staying at a hotel. Even a single night away can provide the relief you need.

A home that is undergoing a re-

model can be a less than comfortable environment. But homeowners who have never before lived through a ren-ovation project can take several steps to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
