Report of February 18, 2015 Taxi Commission Meeting
Commissioners present were: John Pyke, Chair; Courtney Mahoney, Vice-Chair; Commissioners
Charles Lapointe, Mike Marlin, and Dave Lessard; and Councillor Liz Schell. Regrets from Loyalist
Township Deputy Reeve Ric Bresee. [I believe that Commissioners Rashid and Bentley were
replaced this year, but I am not sure].
To assist them were Dave Kennedy, Inspector and Dana Kennedy, Clerk.
From the Industry were: Roy Ambury, Doug Cox, Mike Mulrooney, Mark Greenwood, Kevin
Murphy, Joe Boucher and Keith Campbell.
Fare Review Committee
Mr. Pyke said the previous Commission had decided to set a committee to discuss fares, and asked if the
will of the current Commission was to continue the process. Commission members indicated that they
still wanted to review fares.
Mr. Marlin and Ms. Mahoney offered to participate, along with each of the three Brokers and one
Plateholder and one Driver from each Brokerage. Mr. Pyke said that other Commissioners were welcome
to take part if they wished.
Meeting dates will be set by the Commissioners involved.
Proposed Changes to the By-Law Regarding Smoking
The Inspector proposed
the following as an amendment to By-Law No. 2. Please note that this
is an exact copy of the proposal—I have highlighted some of the worst language.
SMOKING IN TAXI DRAFT AMENDMENT
- THE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SHALL NOT GIVE ANY WARNINGS TO PLATEHOLDERS/
LESSEES/DRIVERS WHO ARE SMOKING IN A TAXI.
- 1ST OFFENCE A TAXI DRIVER SMOKING IN A TAXI, HE/SHE IS SUSPENDED FOR 7 DAYS AND
$300 FINE, THE TAXI HE/SHE IS DRIVING IS SUSPENDED IMMEDIATELY FOR 24 HOURS , THE
INTERIOR OF VEHICLE SHALL BE CLEANED AND SHAMPOOED BEFORE GOING BACK INTO
SERVICE AS A TAXI
- 1st OFFENCE A PLATEHOLDER/LESSEE SMOKING IN A TAXI, THE PLATEHOLDER/LESSEE IS
SUSPENDED FOR 7 DAYS AND $300 FINE, THE TAXI THEY WERE OPERATING IS SUSPENDED
FOR 72 HOURS, THE INTERIOR OF VEHICLE SHALL BE CLEANED AND SHAMPOOED BEFORE
GOING BACK INTO SERVICE AS A TAXI
- 2ND OFFENCE, ALL PENALTIES DOUBLE, SUMMONS TO COURT FOR THE DRIVER OF THE TAXI
- 3RD OFFENCE, THE DRIVER OF THE TAXI IS SUSPENDED UNTIL A HEARING IS SCHEDULED AT
THE NEXT REGULARILY SCHEDULED TAXI COMMISSION MEETING, SUMMONS TO COURT
4 ~ News from Behind the Wheel ~ March 2015 ~ 4
- SMOKING IN TAXI IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS, IF
THE TAXI COMMISSION MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER INSPECTS THE TAXI VEHICLE
AND THE ODOUR OF SMOKE, THE PRESENCE OF ASHES, BURN MARKS IN THE INTERIOR OF
THE TAXI VEHICLE THE TAXI VEHICLE MAY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, THE YEAR AND MAKE OF
THE TAXI VEHICLE SHALL HAVE NO BEARING ON THE DECISION TO REPLACE IT.
Mr. Lessard said that the Inspector needed proof before fining a licensee.
Ms. Mahoney said that the purpose of the proposal was to teach owners that they must prevent their
Drivers from smoking in their taxi.
Mr. Greenwood replied that the Inspector, not the Plateholder, was responsible for enforcement. He
also criticized the part of the proposal requiring the replacement of a vehicle at the will of the Inspector.
Mr. Pyke said that the Inspector works only 37 hours a week, and more enforcement would cost more
money, and licence fees would have to increase. He added that fine revenues would go to the City, rather
than the Commission. He asked the Industry if Drivers were employees, but was told that they are not.
Mr. Murphy said the owner could not prevent a Driver from smoking at 3:00 am.
Mr. Boucher said this was an overreach of authority on the part of the Commission. He said he tries to
hire only non-smokers, and that the one driver he has hired who smokes only smokes outside the car. He
added that the odour of smoke could be caused by customers exhaling smoke into the cab or bringing the
odour in on their clothing. He further said that there were times when it would dangerous for a Driver to
try to enforce the smoking ban, especially if outnumbered by inebriated passengers. Mr. Boucher added
that he would fire any Driver whom he knew had been smoking in the cab.
Mr. Cox said that enforcement should be the duty of the Health Unit, and that the proposal would
penalize innocent people, such as the Plateholder and other Drivers of the same vehicle.
Mr. Ambury agreed with Mr. Cox, and said that the provision for requiring replacement of the vehicle
would be draconian.
Mr. Pyke said he was willing to talk about this.
Mr. Marlin said the taxi is a workplace, and that increased enforcement would cost more money.
Mr. Lessard asked why By-Law Enforcement Officers couldn’t enforce this By-Law.
Mr. Pyke said he was open to reaching out to the Health Unit and By-Law Enforcement.
The Inspector said that about 35 Drivers had been charged since 2003 for smoking in cabs.
Ms. Mahoney said the Commission must create an environment where smoking was not accepted.
Mr. Lessard suggested a three-strike rule, with loss of licence the ultimate penalty.
Mr. Marlin moved deferral to the next Meeting. Ms. Mahoney seconded the motion. Carried.
Plateholders/Applicants Who Live Outside the Area of the Commission
Mr. Pyke said the Commission should consider how to handle Plateholders who move out of the
country, and Applicants who live in other jurisdictions. He said that it was difficult to get a CPIC on
some of these persons. This is to be discussed in the future.
Parking in the Hub
Mr. Ambury asked the Commission to further pursue the issue of amending the Parking By-Law to
include again the area between the PizzaPizza and the Burger King. He explained that the presence of
signs was meaningless in the absence of a pertinent section of the Parking By-Law.
Mr. Pyke said the Commission would be working on this, and would report back on any progress.
UBER Taxi
Mr. Greenwood presented a package of information about Uber Taxi. His cover letter encouraged the
Commission to be proactive in keeping Uber out of the Kingston market. [There is lots of information
on the ’Net about both sides of the question.]
Next Meeting
The next meeting should be March 18. The subcommittee meeting is at the call of the chair.

Patrick O’Toole Applies for Pogey & Patrick Gets into Heaven
atrick O’Toole walked into the Employment Insurance Office with his brother Seamus.
Seamus walks up to the counter first, and the clerk asks him what he does for a living.
“Pilot,” he says, “I pilot.”
The clerk looked in his book and says, “That’s wonderful, sir. You get $600.00 a week.”
The clerk then talks to Patrick. “And what do you do, Patrick O’Toole?”
“I cuts the trees into firewood,” he said.
The clerk looks in his book, and says, “Woodcutter. That means you get $200.00 a week.
Patrick shakes his head in confusion. “Now I want you to tell me why my brother gets three
times as much as me.”
“Well,” says the clerk, “He’s a pilot and you’re a woodcutter. He’s more skilled than you.”
“More skilled, my shillelagh!” Patrick replies. “I cuts the wood, and he piles it!”
P
In due course, Patrick died and went to Heaven, and St. Peter met him at the Pearly Gates.
“I'm sorry,” St. Peter said, “But we have so many Patricks and so many O’Tooles here we have
to hold an Entrance Exam for anyone with those names to make things easier for the angels in
Heavenly Arrivals.”
“That's alright,” Patrick answered, “What does this Entrance Exam consist of?”
“Just three questions,” said St. Peter.
“And what might they be?” asked Patrick.
“They aren’t easy,” St. Peter said, “Here they are:
1. What day of the week does not end in “Y”
2. How many seconds are there in a year?
3. What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?
“Now,” said St. Peter, “Come back when you have the answers. If you’re right, I’ll let you in.”
Half an hour later, Patrick knocked on the gates, and told St. Peter he had the answers.
“Well then,” asked St Peter, “Which day of the week does not end in ‘Y’”
O'Toole replied with a grin, “Tomorrow. It ends with a ‘W’”
St. Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided to allow the answer.
“Well then,” St Peter continued, “How many seconds are there in a year?”
Patrick immediately responded, “Just the 24!” St. Peter asked him how he arrived at that.
“Easy,” said Patrick, “There's the second and the twenty-second in every month, so that gives a
total of twenty-four seconds in a year.”
St. Peter said, “I need some time to consider your answer before I can give you a decision,”
and walked away shaking his head. A short time later St. Peter said, “I'll allow the answer, but
you must get the final answer absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell
me the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?”
Patrick replied, “This was the easiest question of the three.”
“Really!” exclaimed St Peter, “And what is this fellow’s name?”
“It's Andy,” said Patrick.
“Andy?” echoed St. Peter, “How in the name of all that’s good did you arrive at that answer?”
“Easy,” laughed Patrick, “It’s right in the words. ‘Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited till
his Billy boiled.’ So his name must be Andy. Like the Christmas angel is named Harold.”
And Patrick walked through the Pearly Gates.

Saint Patrick’s Day
S
t Patrick was born into a clerical family
between 300 and 400 A.D. in Britain while it
was occupied by the Romans. At the age of
sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken
as a slave to Ireland, where he worked as a shepherd
for six years. While there, he had vision of God and stowed away on a
ship back to Britain. After training as a priest, he returned to Ireland as
a missionary to the pagan Irish. One miracle ascribed to him is the
driving of snakes out of Ireland (probably not in the way depicted in
the cartoon on left). Since most people could not read, he used the
shamrock to explain the Trinity, each leaf representing one aspect of
God. His death on March 17 is celebrated as St. Patrick’s Day by
millions around the world, of Irish ancestry or not.
The principal theme of St. Patty’s Day is wearing green clothing or a
shamrock, or both. In the Kingston area, various groups with links to
Ireland give lessons in Irish dancing, Gaelic language and playing Irish
drums called bodhráns. Consumption of Guinness is not taught. It is a
public holiday in Newfoundland and Labrador.
St. Patrick’s Day parades run the gamut from huge to tiny. Dublin is big,
of course. There is week-long festival in Downpatrick, County Down,
where the Saint is buried. 30,000 people watch 2,000 participants and 82
floats. By contrast, the parade in Dripsey, County Cork, is 100 yards long,
between the village's two pubs.
In Great Britain, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother presented bowls of
shamrocks to members of the Irish Guard, who have continued to wear a shamrock on the special
day. The city of Birmingham hold a huge three-kilometer parade through the city centre. London,
Liverpool, Manchester, and Glasgow celebrate in a big way as well.
Saint Patrick's Parades are now held in many other countries—Japan, Malaysia, Montserrat,
Russia, South Korea, and Switzerland.
On this side of the pond, New York and Boston are big on St. Patty. Montreal, with the shamrock
part of the city flag, has staged a parade every year since 1824. Irish soldiers garrisoned in Montreal
celebrated the day in 1759, after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Toronto has had a parade
annually since 1863—even the Toronto Maple Leafs were called the Toronto St. Patricks from 1919
to 1927, and they played in green jerseys. From coast to coast to coast, parades honour this saint in
Canada, because everyone is Irish one day of the year.
Celebrations are not limited to our planet—the International Space
Station has had celebrations. In 2011, Irish-American Catherine
Coleman played a hundred-year-old flute belonging to Matt Molloy and
a tin whistle belonging to Paddy Moloney of The Chieftans.
Chris Hadfield took photographs of Ireland from earth orbit, and a
picture of himself “wearing the green” in the ISS, and posted them
online on Saint Patrick's Day in 2013. He also posted online a recording
of himself singing "Danny Boy" in space.

What a Difference a Year Makes (44 BC and 1582 AD)
H
ave you ever wondered why the months have the names they do? Why is September, with
the Latin root for seven (septem), now the ninth month?
It goes back to Julius Caesar.
Before 46 BC, The Roman calendar had 355 days. The 10.25-day difference between this
and the solar year of approximately 365.25 days meant that holy days, full moons, and harvest times
got out of sync with the calendar.
While Julius Caesar was in Egypt, falling in love with Cleopatra, he learned of a more accurate
calendar system with 365 ¼ days. He improved on this and took the credit by naming the new
calendar after himself. Because the Old Latin script was based on carving the letter in stone, “I” can
be “I” or “J” and “V” can be “V” or “U”. The calendar consisted of:
IANVARIVS (for Janus, the god of doors and gates);
now January
FEBRVARIVS (for Februalia, a period of ritual
cleansing); now February
Mensis Intercalaris (interjected to harmonize the
calendar to the year; no longer used)
MARTIVS, (for Mars, the god of war); now March
APRILIS; (from aperire, Latin for “to open [buds]); now
April
MAIVS; (for Maia, goddess of growth of plants); now
May
IVNIVS (for Juno, the goddess); now June
QUINTILIS (from quinque, Latin for five; renamed
IVLIVS in honour of Julius Caesar in 44 BC); now July
SEXTILIS (from sex, Latin for sixth; renamed
AVGVSTVS in honour of Augustus Caesar in 8 BC);
now August
SEPTEMBER (from septem, Latin for seven; formerly
the 7th month)
OCTOBER (from octo, Latin for eight, formerly the 8th
month)
NOVEMBER (from novem, Latin for nine, formerly the
9th month
DECEMBER (from decem, Latin for ten, formerly the
10th month)
Caesar’s new calendar took effect in 45 BC, with each year averaging 365.25 days. New Year’s
Day was moved from March 1 to January 1, and the year 46 BC was 445 days long to compensate for
intercalary months that had not been added (for political reasons).
The irony is that Julius Caesar died in the third month of the first year of his new calendar.
Shakespeare tells us that a soothsayer told Caesar’s wife that
he should not go the Senate opening because he was in grave
danger. He went anyway. In a carefully executed plan, Casca
and the other conspirators brutally stabbed Caesar. As he lay
on the floor, he saw Brutus approach with a sword. Just
before Brutus struck the final blow, he looked up at his
trusted friend and said, in a line as famous as Hamlet’s “To be
or not to be” soliloquy, “et tu, brute?” (“You also, Brutus?”).
Painting depicting Caesar’s assassination
While Caesar did not live long, his calendar did. Only in 1582 did Pope Gregory replace it with the
Gregorian Calendar in Catholic countries. Britain held off until 1752 (when Kingston was founded in
1673, the Brits still used the Julian Calendar); Russia until 1917 (Isaac Asimov was born in Russia
when the Julian system was still in use). The Greek Orthodox Church still uses the Julian Calendar
and celebrates holy days 12 days off from the dates used by Catholics and Protestants.
This affected everyone who switched over. The year 1582, had to be shortened by 12 days to
realign the seasons, and people rioted when they had to pay a full month’s rent for an 18-day month.
While we retain the odd lengths of months, and the modern versions of their names, we now add
leap seconds to a year to keep the clocks consistent with the cesium clocks. Without this precision,
your cell phone, your GPS, and much of the communications systems we now rely on would not
work properly.
