Sharing IT and GIS services first on CAOs committees list, says Central CAOBy Craig BakayReporter

News A report from the CAOs committee in Frontenac County on sharing services has been making the rounds of municipal councils and last week in Sharbot Lake, it was Central Frontenacs turn to have a look at it at Councils regular meeting.

Central CAO Jim Zimmerman didnt really have much input to the report, having only come on the job a month ago. He did however have a few comments.

Schedule A (an initial list of 68 potential areas where services could be combined) is the key takeaway for me, Zimmerman said. But also important is that each municipality has the option to opt in or opt out.

We could opt out in one area but retain participation in other areas.

Has there been any discussion as to how many municipalities would be necessary to make it viable? said Coun. Brent Cameron.

If there are five bodies around the table and only one opts in, then the economics of it obviously arent viable, Zimmerman said. But there are some centralized services where a township might bear the full costs for something that shows up on the Countys budget.

Coun. Bill MacDonald wondered if the report went far enough.

This doesnt include the City of Kingston, MacDonald said. I wonder if some areas of it could be expanded.

I think theres an aspect of crawl before you walk, to this, said Zimmerman. Most of the things, all townships provide but some of the things only some townships provide.

Mayor Frances Smith suggested that perhaps councils might need to set aside some time to look at the proposals from the CAOs.

I think we need to go into this well educated, she said. I would like to set aside half a day to discuss how this might work.

I think the CAOs are looking to work on each element and then present a coherent plan, Zimmerman said. There has been some discussion on IT and GIS.

Do you think wed be better to wait until we have some concrete numbers? said Smith.

I think thats the way the CAOs are going, said Zimmerman. If something is not the way this municipality wants to go, then I could pass that on.

And I think that would change the discussions going on currently.

Zimmerman said the next thing Council would see from him on the CAOs committee will be a report on IT and GIS.

Thats what some people are moving towards, he said. If thats not what you want, then let me know before we move too far down that road.

An open letter to our fans, from the Ottawa Senators What a ride! The last two - plus months have been an incredible run, as our team came together to overcome the greatest deficit in NHL history to qualify for the playoffs. This year, we had a major loss within our family and fought battles both on and off the ice. We stuck together and persevered knowing we could achieve our goals. In February, when the odds were stacked against us, this team started to roll. When we started to win, we could feel that something special was happening. We couldnt put our finger on it at the time, but knew it was different. We know you felt it too we know this because once the team started the run, you wouldnt let us quit. You were loud and supportive at home. You filled Canadian Tire Centre during the teams road games, and the crowd waiting for us at the airport when we arrived from Philadelphia blew us away. You changed the mood of the entire city. You pushed us to keep going when the odds were against us and we responded. Game 6 may not have gone our way, but the ovation you gave us before we left the ice was one of the most incredible moments of the entire season. As we leave to go our separate ways for the summer, we want you to know this there has never been a Senators team more excited for next year. Thank you, fans!

Sincerely,Your 2014-15 Ottawa Senators

FCFDC director thanks municipality for its continued supportBy Craig BakayReporter

News Im here to thank Council members and staff for their past support and to ask that they continue to actively refer individuals and businesses to the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation (FCFDC) should you think they may benefit from our programs and services, FCFDC Executive Director Anne Prichard told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

In particular, she said, theyre looking to support tourism, particularly year-round tourism.

Sometimes, thats just a matter of finding ways to get heat to their operations, she said. Were also very interested in food and beverage businesses, things such as micro-breweries and specialty food creators like Seed to Sausage.

The FCFDC began in 2004 when it opened its first office in Harrowsmith (they have since moved up Road 38 to the business plaza strip mall). It is a not-for-profit corporation run by a volunteer board of directors and funded by the Federal Development Agency of Southern Ontario (FedDev).

Our mission is to stimulate community and economic development throughout the Frontenacs aptly expressed by the tag line building businesses growing communities, Prichard said.

The FCFDC offers several services, whether the constituent is considering starting a small business in the Frontenacs, seeking advice or financing for an existing business or requiring assistance for a community project, she said, including: businessinformationand counseling at no cost businessworkshops commercialloans interest-freeloans(foreligible commercial projects and subject to available financing) communityeconomic development EasternOntarioDevelopment Program

The FCFDC offers flexible commercial financing up to $250,000 for new or existing businesses in the County of Frontenac when financing from traditional lenders is not available, she said. The organization also offers interest-free loans for the development of vacant or underutilized commercial

properties that have the potential to create or maintain employment.

As well, faade improvements on commercial/retail properties located in hamlets are eligible.

Two newer programs include Futurpreneur Canada, which supports young entrepreneurs with up to $45,000 in financing and an expert business mentor for up to two years and Launch Labs Business Mentorship Program,

where entrepreneurs in residence offer mentoring and industry experts at no cost.

They also help promote local businesses through social media (their website www.frontenaccfdc.com, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) as well as a newsletter distributed quarterly through a local newspaper.

Coun. Bill MacDonald asked where their funding comes from

and if its permanent. Our funding is all federal and

our current contract runs until 2018, Prichard said.

Id like to thank you on behalf of the businesses and workers in the County, said Mayor Frances Smith. Word of mouth is how things happen in the country.

LETS GO


By Mandy [email protected]

News Poodle skirts, bell bottoms, fur coats and vintage wedding dresses these were just a few of the styles on display at the Harrowsmith Womens Institute (WI) Vintage Fashion Show on April 26; hundreds of guests looked on as over 60 outfits representing fashions from the 1920s to 1970s were modeled - and it was all for a good cause.

We put this fundraiser together as a sort of celebration of our 90th anniversary, said Harrowsmith WI president Karen Nickel. We originally made poster boards representing the decades and then we came up with the idea of expanding that to a fashion show and here we are.

The Federation of Womens Institutes of Ontario began in February of 1897 as a group for wives of farmers to gather and socialize. The WI in Harrowsmith started in March of 1924 and with that in mind, the group wanted to start with fashions from that decade.

Many of the outfits have been very special memories for WI members and their friends, explained Nickel.

Most of them are treasured fashions or accessories that belonged to a loved one and some were actually worn by members in their youth. It was so amazing to see them all come together.

Nickel thought that it would be a challenge to find so many different fashions, but she was overwhelmed by the number of items that came out of storage and attics and were donated by community members.

It was so great to see the whole group come together. I loved getting to know all of the families and friends and of course seeing all of the fashions.

The event took place at St. Pauls Church in Harrowsmith and proceeds from the event went to New Leaf Link (NeLL), a non-profit charitable organization that supports the continuing education and meaningful occupation of youth and adults with developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum conditions and Down syndrome. The group operates locally in South Frontenac and they rely solely on community fundraisers to run their programs.

We are a small but mighty group of dedicated parents, said Julie Hunt, a director for the group and a parent

of one of the participants. We really appreciate the support. We keep seeing an increase in clients year after year so the funds are really important to keep it all going. These funds will go a long way.

Members of New Leaf Link were also among the 40 people who modeled throughout the fashion show alongside WI members, friends and family. All worked to make the event a success and before the show started more than 150 tickets had been sold, helping to raise $1,500 for NeLL. Nickel was happy to see such an amazing turnout and she hopes that the WI can do something similar next year.

The show was so much fun and wed love to do something like this again, we just have to sit down and see whats next, she said. Im not sure we can top this.

Nickel also encourages more people to come out and join the WI. The group meets on the last Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at St. Pauls Church in Harrowsmith.

The group is great because it brings people together and we get a chance to do amazing events like this. I would encourage anyone interested to stop by.

Fashionable fundraising: Harrowsmith Womens Institute looks at fashions of decades past

In Our Opinion

Take a moment to recognize nursesEditorial - May 11-17 is National Nursing Week and we think its

time for everyone to take a moment to thank or recognize a nurse and the impact they have on our lives.

With more than 408,000 regulated nurses in Canada nurses are the largest of any health provider group and the backbone of our health-care system. They do everything from taking blood to educating us on procedures to holding our hands when we are in a tough situation with a loved one.

This years Canadian Nurses Association theme is Nurses: With you every step of the way. This theme emphasizes how important nurses are in our lives. They help us at every age, in all health situations and they work hard for all Canadians.

National Nursing week originated in 1985; prior to that, the Interna-tional Council of Nurses (ICN) had designated Florence Nightingales birthday May 12 as International Nurses Day in 1971 to recognize Nightingales important contribution to the field of nursing.

Nightingale is best known around the world as the Lady with the Lamp who nursed British soldiers during the Crimean War and turned nursing into a profession. She was also an activist, social theorist and author. She worked hard to improve health and sanitation for British Army soldiers and she was also instrumental in early hospital planning. During her life and career, Nightingale published more than 200 books, reports and pamphlets that helped the medical field move forward.

Nursing week is about celebrating Nightingales accomplishments and also the accomplishments of nurses today. They all work to make a difference in the lives of Canadians and create a healthier population and for that they deserve at least a few moments of our time.

Those who wish to send thanks to nurses can by using the hashtag #everystep on Twitter from May 11-17 or visit cna-aiic.ca to share your story or learn more about the many ways nurses are helping Canadians.

Its almost swimsuit weather . . . or at least it better be

Column OK, hands up all of you that dont believe Spring is finally here.

Youre right to be skeptical of course. Mother Nature cant be trusted. (Nor can any of the now-army of groundhogs that seemed to think wed have an early spring this year.)

But after the winter weve just been through, can anybody blame us for being a bit wary?

After all when a polar bear plunge gets rescheduled because of bitterly cold weather (as happened this year during Central Frontenacs Heritage Festival in February) you know its cold.

And the cold weather hung on, and on, and, well, you get the idea.

So, just to be sure, I have decided not to put away my long johns until it is unquestionably time to exchange them for swim trunks.

Of course Central/North Frontenac building inspector Jeremy Neven observed theyre the same thing for you, arent they?

Big talk from a guy who lives in a tent. (OK, so its a yurt but po-tay-to, po-tah-to.)

Still, although the ice is all gone from Sharbot Lake and theres no snow anywhere to be seen, can we really trust Mother Nature this time?

I remember it snowing once in June. Of course that was in Saskatoon and it didnt last. Still, I was only in the pool once that summer and it was an in-and-out kinda thing.

Even the brave souls who ended up jumping into a frozen Sharbot Lake in February dont do it unless somebodys going to give them money for their favourite charity for doing so.

But I really enjoy swimming in a lake. Ive never been big on pools and their chlorine smell (which wouldnt be necessary if people didnt pee in the pool but obviously many do). Similarly, ocean swimming has never much appealed

to me because you always get that layer of salt encrusted on body parts that shouldnt be encrusted.

But lake swimming, particularly if theres a nice sandy beach where you can slowly just walk into the water until it comes over the top of your bathing suit, is just about right.

And while some may bemoan the fact that lakes are predicted to have lower levels this year unless theres more rain, I say the lower levels make the water warmer and warmer water makes for a more enjoyable swim experience.

Now I know there are plenty of you who will claim to enjoy a brisk dip in a chilly lake, espousing all sorts of invigorated health benefits while you rush for a towel to wrap up in. I dont believe you really like cold water any more than I believe Mother Nature.

No, lets face it, what we really love is when its hot as hell out there and we can just all go jump in the lake. And its completely impossible to say the words the lake is just like bathwater without a contented smile on your face.

By Craig BakayReporter

News Less than a month into the job, new Central Frontenac CAO/Public Works Manager Jim Zimmerman sat down with Trea-surer Michael McGovern to have a look at the books and the result was a potential savings of $255,000 for the Township.

The findings were presented at the regular Council meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

In a report titled 2015 Budget Pressures, Zimmerman said that there was an oversight in the public works total formula.

This has resulted in a $255,000 budget pressure, he said. The for-mula has since been corrected and a new procedure has been put in place to prevent future occurrences by ensuring the budget is entered into Asyst (financial software) and bal-anced before the final tax rate by-law is passed.

The report identified six areas where savings can be achieved:

$255,000 was originally fore-

cast for repair/minor replacement activity to Township vehicles. We have since further refined these numbers and are currently forecast-ing a budget of only $227,000.

changes to the organizational structure in 2015 (combined posi-tions of responsibility) (and) we are currently forecasting a savings of $34,100.

currently, there is a balance of $1.1 million for the Fifth Lake Road project. We intend on using that money during the summer of 2015 to continue with the project but defer securing the loan by three months which will result in a projected sav-ings in interest of $55,500.

based on an analysis of current sites requiring Phase 1 Environ-mental Assessments the report sug-gests that only four sites need to be looked at. Since these sites should cost about $2,500 (each), we feel that our budget of $80,000 can be reduced to $10,000 (a $70,000 sav-ings).

the current gravel budget for 2015 is $295,000. Without touch-ing the everyday gravel needs, we

comfortably feel our gravel contract can be cut back by $50,000.

expenditures will be dili-gently controlled for three major capital programs (Fifth Lake Road, Road 38 overpass and Mill Street/Frontenac Road resurfacing). We anticipate that this will yield an ad-ditional $17,400 in savings.

Although Coun. Tom Dewey was concerned delaying a truck pur-chase would throw our capital re-placement program out of whack, the only other aspect of the savings measures that drew much debate was the gravel budget.

All of us received calls on gravel roads, said Coun. Brent Cameron. Youve got the day-to-

day management and there could be some extraordinary usage like a washout.

Is there a contingency for this?

The grader is still going to hit the road but instead of applying two trucks of gravel, well use 1 trucks, Zimmerman said. We are not cutting back on our stockpile which will be used as required.

Zimmerman acknowledged that there may need to be a new ap-proach to gravel roads as sometimes gravel ends up in the ditch. He said he plans to try some new techniques such as using asphalt chips that will act as a glue to hold gravel in place once compacted.

CAO and treasurer find $255,000 to cut out of 2015 Central Frontenac budget

JOBS CREATEDJobs created may result from either new jobs from the attraction of a company to the city or additional jobs created through the growth of existing businesses. KEDCO measures jobs facilitated from opportunities where KEDCO staff have played a direct role in supporting the win of the opportunity.

INVESTMENT FACILITATEDInvestment dollars are tracked with similar methodology as jobs facilitated. KEDCO must have been a part of the process in which new dollars are invested in the city. New jobs secured for the city are calculated based on an average one-year salary at $40,000. This salary is only captured in the first year of hire and is based on the median salary of Kingston employees.

OPPORTUNITIES CREATEDAn opportunity is defined as a qualified lead which has a real potential to create new job(s) or new direct monetary investment for the city. Opportunities may be in the sales pipeline for an undetermined amount of time, due to the nature and complexities of the specific deal.

COMPANY VISITSA company visit is when a KEDCO staff person undertakes an on-site meeting with a local organization to discuss business challenges and opportunities, areas where support could be delivered or any issues of concern. Often, new opportunities arise from company visits.

SALES CALLSA sales call is when a KEDCO staff person undertakes a meeting with qualified tour operators, sport organizations and event right holders to promote Kingston as a destination for upcoming meetings, conferences, group travel, tours and sporting events.

INFO CENTRE VISITORSTurnstile count for the Visitor Information Centre at 209 Ontario Street across from City Hall.

TOURISM ECONOMIC IMPACT OF EVENTS The impact of Sport Tourism events and Meetings & Conferences which KEDCO has assisted with the attraction or retention. KEDCO uses economic assessment models to benchmark direct, indirect and induced impact.

KEDCO DASHBOARD 2014 In order for KEDCO to measure its success and better communicate its level of activity, the following metrics have

been put in place for the organization to track and gauge activity from year to year. In 2014, KEDCO achieved:

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

A strong economic development strategy leads to job growth, new investments, improved wages and an overall increase in economic output. An important aspect of the KEDCO Board of Directors work in 2014 was confirming the framework for the Corporations 2015-2020 Strategic Plan. We are excited to have launched this ambitious plan to facilitate $500 million of new investment and bring 5,000 new jobs to the community over the next five years.

During the 2014 municipal election, we heard loud and clear the importance of the economy and economic development issues. While we can agree or disagree on strategies, sectors to pursue and sales and marketing tactics, one thing is certain Kingstononians are keen to see job and investment creation occur. We need to strive to ensure future generations have opportunities to live and work here. We need to ensure entrepreneurs and innovators are supported, feel welcome and are celebrated for their intrinsic role in our economy. We understand the need to raise awareness of the important work KEDCO undertakes to sustain and transform our economy and we are committed to supporting the Corporations efforts.

DEAN BYRNES, CHAIR

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

We are pleased to present KEDCOs 2014 Annual Report highlighting our activities over the past year. As the final year under the 2010-2014 Strategic Plan, we feel pride in a number of significant accomplishments achieved both last year and over the span of the five year plan.

In 2014, we continued to position Kingston as a premier destination to visit, live, work and do business. The community has benefitted from stable growth over the past five years and there was new opportunity to push the agenda for making Kingston the most competitive place to do business which in turn attracts great numbers of visitors and newcomers to live and work.

Small businesses account for over 50 per cent of Kingstons economic makeup and our Small Business Development Centre realized a record-breaking year of consultations with entrepreneurs and business owners in 2014.

KEDCOs goals of growing jobs and investment were not achieved in isolation it is our local business community and organizations that deserve recognition for their choice to invest in themselves and in Kingstons collective success.

The David Suzuki Foundations (DSF) fourth annual 30x30 Nature Challenge a campaign to get Canadians into the nature habit by spending 30 minutes a day outside for 30 consecutive days launched April 22. Over the past three years, tens of thousands of individuals and hundreds of schools and workplaces have taken the challenge, reaping the many benefits of regular time spent outdoors.

A growing chorus of scientists and researchers agree: time spent in nature makes us happier, healthier and less stressed, said Aryne Sheppard, DSF 30x30 Challenge campaign

lead. Getting a daily dose of nature through the 30x30 Nature Challenge is the best prescription for a healthy, happy spring.

People who register at www.davidsuzuki.org/30x30 get daily tips on how to add green time to busy routines during the month of May. There are also free tool kits for workplaces and schools with ideas for getting colleagues and students involved.

Getting 30 minutes outside can be a walk in a nearby park, eating lunch under a tree or holding a business meeting on a park bench or at the beach instead of in a boardroom, said Sheppard. Of course,

we should all add nature to our routine every day, not just in May.

Since the first 30x30 challenge in 2012, tens of thousands of individuals have heeded natures call, doubling their time spent outside. Participants surveyed each year reported their daily nature habit helped them sleep better, and feel calmer and less stressed.

The 30x30 Nature Challenge is being presented in partnership with Genuine Health, with generous support from program partners Desjardins, Elemental and Interface and media partners Mto Mdia / The Weather Network.

News - As an elementary school principal, Brenda Moore sees the difference healthy diets and full bellies make for children on a daily basis.

Food matters, she says. We cant expect kids to do what we ask them to do all day when theyre hungry. Theyre not going to learn, theyre not going to solve problems well.

Moore, who is principal at J.R. Henderson Public School, is also board chair of the Food Sharing Project (FSP), a local non-profit charitable organization that last year provided nutritious food for 13,775 students in over 94 schools in the Algonquin Lakeshore and Limestone District School Boards.

Teachers and principals order the food for the schools ahead of time from a pre-determined menu, which has been vetted by a public health dietician. Food is then purchased in bulk by FSP

executive director Tim Brown and several other employees.

We rely heavily on funding so we can go [buy the food ourselves], Brown explains. There are nutritional guidelines to follow 100 per cent pure juice, whole wheat bread, low sugar content, etc. Plus lots of fruit and vegetables.

Every Tuesday, approximately six tons of food are shipped from the Food Sharing Projects warehouse near the Partners In Mission Food bank to schools throughout the city. Volunteers who range from parents to teachers to custodians to church groups and more - then run breakfast, lunch and snack programs at the respective schools in whatever way they feel best serves the students. The FSP also provides the schools with the equipment needed to cook the food. Brown notes that its interesting to see the creative ideas the volunteers come up with when serving food to the kids.

Last week at one school they did [eggs] in little cupcake tins. They whipped up the eggs, sprinkled a little bit of cheese on top, popped them in the oven. Then theyve got some English muffins toasted and the kids can squish it on their English muffin.

He adds that the program even appears to give many of the kids an appreciation for healthy food.

We go through so much green pepper and baby carrots. Its unbelievable. From what I hear through the teachers, the kids will say things like we were at the store with mommy yesterday and she was going to get chips and I asked her to get these green peppers.

Moore explains that the need for the FSP is obviously different for every school, and the organization does its best to meet the respective needs of each.

There are some schools where the need is greater just because of the circumstances that those childrens families have to cope with every day. If we can fill that

gap and feed the kids at school then that means were helping them do better at school, which is what educators are all about, but

it also means that family knows that they dont have to make that decision between the heating bill and the grocery bill.

The majority of funding for the FSP, which adds up to as much as $50,000 a month in food costs, comes from the Ministry of Children and Youth, and flows through the Hastings-Prince Edward Learning Foundation.

It takes a big load off the school in that we dont have to do the shopping, we dont have to do the grant writing and we dont have to buy equipment, says Moore, noting that this sort of program happens on more of a one-time basis throughout most of Ontario because the funding simply isnt there.

Still, additional funding is needed to allow the program to meet the needs of all local schools. As such, the FSP holds an annual fundraiser, which is coming up May 23 in the form of a spring banquet and silent auction. For the second year in a row, the

banquet is being put on by the Chinese Canadian Association of Kingston and District and will be held at Our Lady of Fatima Parish. Each school in the region will also donate an item or a service to the silent auction.

They may have someone who is a great woodworker and makes a beautiful salad bowl, or someone else who does beautiful knitting and they donate an afghan, says Moore. They create some beautiful items for us to auction off.

She adds that its a great way

for schools to contribute back to the Food Sharing Project and help us be able to turn it around and give that money right back to them in food.

Tickets to the spring banquet are $75; they include dinner, a dance, live music by Soul Survivors and access to the silent auction. Tickets are available online at e v e n t b r i t e .com under the event Spring Banquet 2015 or at Jankins Computers at

1250 Gardiners Road.Also, keep an eye out for the

Say Yes to Good Food in Schools Twitter campaign, which is taking place throughout Ontario in order to advocate for more support for FSP type initiatives across the province. Search the hashtag #SayYestoGoodFoodinSchools to stay in the loop.

Events - With a federal election on the horizon, its time for voters to start thinking about the issues that matter most to them; undoubtedly, one of the major ballot issues for most Canadians is that of health care what needs to be improved and how that will happen.

On May 13, family physician and vice president of the Womens College Hospital in Toronto, Dr. Danielle Martin, will be visiting Kingston to talk about what she sees as the major issues in Canadian healthcare and offering solutions on how to move

forward. My area of focus and interest

as an academic and as an advocate is around improving the healthcare system and specifically improving the quality, accessibility and equity within the framework of Canadian public healthcare, said Martin. I will be speaking about what I think people should be paying attention to as we head into election time.

Martin has spoken across the country about the issue of Canadian healthcare and her talks centre on what she calls the medicare advantage. She would like to see a health care system that is built on the strengths and successes of our publicly funded

healthcare system and specifically on the strength and fairness of a healthcare that is based on need rather than ability to pay. As part of that, she also sees cost control and the administrative simplicity of having a single insurance plan for anyone living in a given province as a strength to build off of.

What I am going to do in the talk is suggest that we take that medicare advantage and build on it and extend our strengths of fairness and cost control and simplicity to other areas where the health of Canadians can really be improved, she said. The two

Kingstonians invited to speak up and help create a healthier Canada
