Not the team I was expecting his to go to, but knew he was getting traded regardless

"SCRUTTON TO STAND TRIAL," Kingston Daily Standard. September 9, 1913. Page 2. --- Implicated in the Recent Hold-Up ---- The Evidence of Mar, Found Guilty on Similar Charge, Was Against - Him--Young Girl Given Month. ---- John Scrutton, the young man who was arrested some time ago on a charge of being connected with the theft of a watch from John Gibson in May last on Swift's wharf, was before Magistrate Farrell in police court this morning and was committed for trial.

The hold-up on the wharf will be remembered as two young men are already serving sentences in the Central for complicity in it. One of them at his trial implicated Scrutton, who had fled from the city, and was only arrested a short time ago. Scrutton will come before Judge Price for trial.

A young woman, who has been under police surveillance for about year, on account of her conduct on the street, was landed in the cells last night, and appeared before the court this morning. P. C. Mullinger gave evidence, stating that she had frequently been seen on the streets late at night in the company of a number of men. He saw her on Ontario street about one o'clock this morning with a white man and an Indian, and arrested her.

In sentencing her to one month in jail, Magistrate Farrell said that he wished he could commit several others who had been in her company and if he had evidence enough would do so.

OHL Highlights : Brampton Steelheads @ Kingston Frontenacs Nov. 9, 2024

[sergeifyodorov]

Mild gripe of course but I feel like many fic writers are unaware that major junior teams will only play teams from other leagues during the Mem Cup finals. Your Mississauga Steelhead or Kingston Frontenac is not going to see the Blazers on a regular basis. Do you know how far Lake Ontario is from Kamloops

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Nearly two dozen agencies in the Kingston, Ont., area are asking residents what they think about decriminalizing illegal drugs for personal use as the region sees deaths from opioid use skyrocket.

Between 2014 and 2020, there was a 330 per cent rise in opioid-related deaths in the region served by Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington (KFLA) Public Health, according to numbers from the health unit.

As a result, the Kingston, Frontenac, and Lennox & Addington Community Drug Strategy Advisory Committee has launched a survey to get people's thoughts on decriminalization — a tactic that's been implemented elsewhere, though not without controversy.

"It's not quite the same as legalization, but it's lifting that legal penalty for someone that may have [drugs] on them," said Sara Tryon, program planner with KFLA, one of the committee's community partners. [...]

Aaliyah Edwards comes from the small city of Kingston, Ontario — a city deep with history nestled next to Lake Ontario, sitting evenly between Toronto and Canada’s capital city of Ottawa. As Edwards said upon being drafted: "You’re not only playing for yourself, you’re playing for those falling behind you. You’re also playing for those who laid the foundation in front of you. Coming into the WNBA, I respect that. I appreciate, I’m not going to say elders because I don’t want them getting on me, but I appreciate our vets. I’m going to soak up all the experience, but also know that I have a huge impact across the border in Canada." Growing up, Edwards was coached in basketball by her dad, quickly gaining skill and strength far beyond her years. She started her high school journey at Frontenac Secondary School, but ended up moving to Crestwood Preparatory College in Toronto to further her basketball career. It was there she went through her recruiting journey and joined the ranks of Canada Basketball junior national teams. After seeking guidance from another Canadian legend of the game in Kia Nurse, Edwards decided on UConn for her college career. The legacy of the school’s basketball programs mixed with the trust Geno Auriemma had in her and the glowing review from Nurse; it was enough to convince her that Storrs was the place to be. Edwards joined Paige Bueckers and Nika Mühl as the freshmen trio that would ultimately send UConn to three Final Fours in four seasons and play in one national championship game.

Did the Regina Pats waste Connor Bedard's Talent?

A lot of people are upset after last night's game, like myself. I lot of people are blaming coaching, individual players, management decisions, and even Bedard himself. This isn't okay.

In short, the Pats absolutely didn't waste his talent.

Bedard (and likely his agent as well) made the decision not to get traded to a team that would be more likely to advance further in the playoffs and Memorial Cup. If he went to Kamloops, he would have an automatic ticket to the cup, if he went to Seattle, he'd already be playing with 8-10 already drafted players. Instead, he stayed with Regina. I am unsure of the specific details regarding his contracts with his agent, team, and the WHL.

Bedard is one player on the Pats, and they relied on him way too much, and it really showed in game seven. Other players, such as Tanner Howe have been overlooked, as all eyes have been concentrated on Bedard. All players made positive contributions, had a lot of first, and made some mistakes. I do think that management could have done a better job building around him, but they did great with the players that have.

Also, would teams want to trade for him? At the time of trade deadline, the season is halfway over, with roughly 30 regular season games remaining plus whatever playoff games the team gets. The team that would hypothetically trade for him would have to give up at least ten future picks for him. If you follow the OHL, the Peterborough Petes got a lot of picks for McTavish and the Kingston Frontenacs got even more picks for Shane Wright (look how that one went lol). What I'm trying to say is that they're risking two to three years of their future for a single player.

This happened with the Regina Pats when they hosted the cup in 2018. They put went all in, did really bad for the next few years and lucked into Bedard (the pick originally came from the Swift Current Broncos).

Bedard has easily brought in 1.5 million dollars into the WHL alone, and probably even more into the Regina community. People have been coming in from the USA and all over Canada to see him play. They don't want to see the Pats play, they want to see Bedard play. This has brought employment into the community. Where that be direct employment from the Pats or Brandt (company that owns the Pats), or indirectly (hospitality services at the rink and in Regina too).

He has also popularized the game for so many people that may not have started playing if it wasn't for him. He's brought a lot to the community, doing skates and practices with youth hockey leagues, the children will always remember that.

For that I thank him for what he has brought to Regina, and the broader hockey community.

Best of luck to Bedard and his future career. A true, once-in-a-lifetime, generational player.

SHAFIA FAMILY MURDERS

The Shafia family murders took place on June 30, 2009, in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Shafia sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, along with their father's wife Rona Muhammad Omar, 52 (all of Afghan origin), were found dead inside a car that was discovered underwater in front of the northernmost Kingston Mills lock of the Rideau Canal.[1] Zainab, Sahar, and Geeti were daughters of Mohammad Shafia, 58, and his wife, Tooba Mohammad Yahya, 41. The couple also had a son, Hamed, 20, and three other children. Rona, who was herself infertile, was the first wife of Mohammad Shafia in their polygamous household.

On July 23, 2009, Mohammad, Tooba Yahya, and Hamed were arrested on charges of four counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder under the guise of honour killing. The jury found them guilty of all four counts in January 2012. The trial, which took place at the Frontenac County Court House, was believed to be the first in Canada conducted in four languages – English, French, Dari and Spanish.

The Interconnectedness of Abiotic and Biotic Components in the Environment - Blog 9

This fall allowed me to connect deeply with nature, emotionally and physically. I've explored new areas around my home in Kingston, Ontario, such as South Frontenac, Ontario. I've been able to hike, listen to birds, identify plants, and enjoy the Gould Lake Conservation Area waterfront. Since you aren't here in person with me to explore the grounds of this conservation area, I've decided to take you through a virtual walk to discuss the most amazing thing I know about nature: the interconnectedness of abiotic and biotic things in the environment and the benefits of nature interpretation to humans.

To start with the latter point, I've discovered how versatile nature interpretation can be this fall and which form of nature interpretation works best for me. I'm currently using one method of nature interpretation to connect with you, fellow bloggers, an online social media platform, and the use of words and images to portray my thoughts. While I was interpreting nature by myself, I used my phone to identify bird calls and local plants using various applications, proving how technology can be beneficial in nature interpretation. For this blog, I will take you along the Tom Dixon trail, known as Trail 7, at Gould Lake Conservation Area, one of many conservation areas managed and monitored by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (Cataraqui Conservation, 2023a). The main goal of the conservation authority is to ensure that the aquatic environment, including water quality and the health of aquatic organisms, is protected while also allowing community members to utilize the natural terrestrial and aquatic spaces through outdoor recreation such as hiking, swimming, boating, bird watching and more! The abiotic water environment supports various biotic organisms, ranging from plants to fish to turtles and more (Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, 2017)! Water also is an essential resource for humans, and we benefit from the natural processes that occur in areas like lakes that provide us with potable water.

Figure 1. The Barn at Gould Lake Conservation Area.

As we pull into the parking lot of the conservation area, we will pass the barn where onsite nature interpretation is offered to the community, mainly for children from local elementary and high schools. The barn holds lessons on the area's history, the species present, and outdoor stewardship. Interpreters also teach students more about outdoor recreation during summer programs, which can allow children to learn about man-powered boats, swimming, and camping.

Figure 2. The Entrance to Tom Dixon Trail.

The Tom Dixon trail is located to the right of the beach and runs along the waterfront of Gould Lake itself, a natural, mesotrophic lake that supports various fish and turtle species (Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, 2017). Eutrophication is low in this lake, and the water's temperature gradients allow nutrients to get cycled frequently to support the fish and plant species in the lake (Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, 2017). Trout and bass species are most common in this lake and benefit from the cooler temperatures of the water to support their reproduction and lives (Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, 2017). A wooden dock and picnic table allow nature observers to swim in the lake or observe nature! Walking along the trails managed by the Rideau Trail Association shows the beautiful, naturally produced trails covered with networks of tree roots covered in pine needles and fallen, colourful leaves due to the season: fall (Cataraqui Conservation, 2023b)! This location is prime in the fall with the array of colourful foliage and leaf fall. As this area is located in the Canadian Shield, a rolling topography creates deep depressions that have filled with water to convert into lakes, and formed high peaks that are now densely populated with diverse tree species (Walter et al., 2022). The trail is dominated by white birch, American elm, and sugar maples. Beside the forested areas are coastline environments with large rocks along the shoreline and coarse-grained sandy beaches (Gillespie et al., 1966).

Figure 3. The Dock and Picnic Table Along the Trail.

Various abandoned mica mines can be seen throughout the trail, and mica remnants are scattered along the trails that glisten in the sunlight. Due to micas' heat tolerant properties, mica mining was completed to provide materials for woodstove windows and lanterns in this area (Amazing Places, 2016). The Canadian Shield also provides many minerals, making it an ideal location for mining and explains why there are many glistening rocks along the side of the trail (Gillespie et al., 1966). This location on the trail highlights humans' relationship with the environment, as humans have utilized the earth's resources for innovation, which can have benefits but has also led to the exploitation of resources in other situations.

Figure 4. Mica Remnants on Trail.

This area, with the vast forested areas and an aquatic component, supports many different species and highlights the complex linkages between abiotic and biotic things in our environment. Together, these things intertwine to create a beautiful landscape that supports the well-being of humans mentally, emotionally, and physically. To make this area even more beautiful, we have the beauty of fall, which includes the shedding of leaves, and bright colours ranging from yellows to reds and greens. Though we may not always realize that the environment and earth have so many beings and processes occurring without us noticing, all things are intertwined and can benefit each other. Therefore, if you ever feel alone, go into nature to breathe in fresh air and connect with the earth and the organisms, and you will never feel alone.

Figure 5. Beautiful Fall Colours at Gould Lake Conservation Area.

Thank you for joining me on this virtual tour of Gould Lake Conservation Area in South Frontenac, Ontario and reading my thoughts about the beauty of the relationships between humans and abiotic and biotic aspects in the environment!

"Boys Charged With Theft From Father," Kingston Whig-Standard. May 30, 1933. Page 12. ---- Robert J. Harpell, Cataraqui, was found guilty of the theft of a truck tire from his father, Robert E. Harpell, also of Cataraqui, by Magistrate D. J. Rankin in County Police Court this morning and was remanded to jail until Thursday morning when sentence will be passed.

The accused contended that he had been instructed by his father to sell the tire and had completed the sale for $15, receiving $5 on account. The accused said in his evidence that he had spent the initial payment. Robert E. Harpell, the informant, in his evidence said that at no time had he instructed his son to sell the tire. T. J. Rigney, acting for the Crown, asked His Honor for a conviction.

Charles Hugh Harpell, another son of Robert E. Harpell, charged with the theft of an Arabian mare from his parent, disputed his father's ownership of the horse in question, stating that his mother had paid for the mare. The magistrate granted an enlargment until Thursday when Mrs. Happell will be brought in as a witness.
