Frontenac County Official Plan becomes ‘official’ Feb. 2 By Craig Bakay

News — Barring any unforeseen, lastminute appeals, Frontenac County’s Official Plan (OP) will become ‘official’ Feb. 2, Director of Planning and Economic Development Joe Gallivan told Frontenac County Council at its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie. “The ministry has approved the OP (Jan. 11) but Feb. 1 is the last date for appeals,” Gallivan said. It’s unlikely there will be any appeals, because the County itself would be the most likely ones to appeal, and Gallivan is recommending against that, despite one or two conditions he’d change if the decision were his to make. “They (MMAH) agreed to take some things out that we asked for (but) there are still about 30 changes they want,” he said. “The private roads policy is still in place and there is a technical error that we’ve pointed out twice to them pertaining to the growth rate of South Frontenac. “But essentially there are no policies in there we can’t deal with and compared with the advantages of us becoming the approval authority (for township OP changes, Zoning Bylaw amendments, etc), it isn’t worth fighting.” He said it should become faster and less expensive for people wanting to develop lands in the County and getting that The LCVI Lancers defeated the visiting Granite Ridge Education Centre Gryphons 39-21 in KASSAA junior in place as quickly as possible trumps any nagging little things he’d like changed. boys’ basketball in Kingston on Wednesday, Jan. 20.

For example, the private roads policy isn’t exactly the way he’d like it but the ministry did amend its original standard policy — no development on private roads — just that they didn’t go as far as the County would like. “They did amend it (to allow) a private roads study and draft amendments for each township,” he said. “Development along private roads will be in our hands.” When the County becomes the approval authority, the OP for Frontenac Islands can be addressed at the County level as well as South Frontenac’s OP, he said. “In my opinion, there are no policies (in the County OP) that are detrimental to County planning,” he said. “There are some things I don’t agree with but compared with the cost to the taxpayer for appealing . . .” “I think what’s happening here is something quite significant,” said Coun. John Inglis. “We are going to have an Official Plan that’s unique in the Province.” It’s taken quite some time for the County OP to become official. At the December meeting in 2011, Council gave staff the go-ahead to create an OP. After 11 open houses and three presentations to each township council begun in the summer of 2012, County Council adopted its first-ever OP on Oct. 29, 2014. Between then and now, the OP has gone to the Ministry several times before an agreement was reached.

News — Discussion on draft conditions for a proposed 13-lot subdivision in Hartington was put on hold at South Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham, owing to some new information Council wanted time to go through. “We received an email from SOS consultants (Specialized Onsite Services Inc),” said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. The Council Chambers was full of residents opposed to the subdivision who had come fully prepared (with signs) to protest but Mayor Ron Vandewal told them there would be no discussion at this meeting on the proposed development. “With this new information, there will be no discussion until that’s gone through,” said Vandewal. “So, you don’t have to stay — we’re not going to vote after you leave.” Most of the audience elected to stay. The new information pertains specifically to the property at 5598 Road 38, which at one time was a gas bar/convenience store. The property, located near the proposed subdivision, is now owned by the Township. In its letter, SOS said: “Based on on-site investigation and analytical testing of soils and groundwater . . . petroleum hydrocarbon contamination was found within the subsur-

face soils and groundwater . . . the contamination was found to extend out laterally from the former underground fuel storage tanks to the north, south, east and west.” The letter recommended further well monitoring but also said that “based on the low groundwater flow velocity, it is expected that the risk of migration of groundwater contamination to sites in excess of 500 m away from the subject site is relatively low.” Nevertheless, the letter

THE WINTER WINDS AND RECYCLING With the strong winds accompanying the snow this winter, please give a bit more thought to how you put out your recycling. Take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. Loose newspapers will end up kilometers away and empty or light plastics tend to fly out into the ditches and treelines. Not overfilling your box and crushing your bottles will make them more compact and less likely to take flight. As well, the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers flat in a grocery bag then into your box; it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep the environment and our workers in mind when recycling.

WINTER MAINTENANCE To assist our crews in their winter control efforts, the parking of vehicles on Township roads and village streets from 12:00 midnight to 7:00 a.m. is not permitted from December 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016. As well, pursuant to Section 181 of the Highway Traffic Act “No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway without permission in writing from the road authority responsible for the maintenance of the road. Please be advised that the Township of South Frontenac will NOT be responsible for damages to mailboxes, newspaper boxes, recycle boxes, garbage cans or parked cars where said boxes or vehicles interfere with the winter maintenance on Township roads.

“They get peer approval through acceptance and inclusion.” Tallon said she still guides them through prompts and things like sound effects, but essentially the kids come up with ideas they want to try and just go from there. In other words, it’s improv. “We originally had planned to work towards a final production for sometime in May but we’ve found that too much structure wasn’t getting the results we we were after,” she said. “We have a couple of guys that preferred to just do sound effects but now we’re finding they’re joining in with the acting too.” They still plan to do something for parents and the community in May but what form that will take is anybody’s guess right now as the creative process itself seems to be outweighing any final product. “We’re building self confidence,” Tallon said. “Some of these kids may have become at risk and/ or were feeling abandoned, but look at them now.” Bobby Sue Freeman certainly seems to enjoying the program. “I want to be a famous singer when I grow up,” she said. “And an actor . . . and have animals . . . and be nocturnal.” Even parent helpers Tabitha Freeman and Michelle McCumber seem to be having fun.

News — After what seems like an eternity, the plan of subdivision for Bridgen’s Island on Eagle Lake was approved at Frontenac County Council’s regular meeting in Glenburnie last week. The approved plan creates 12 separate lots, 10 of which are designated for seasonal dwelling unit occupancy and two designated for private open space. Also, there is one parcel to be used as common open space/beach. The Bridgen’s Island subdivision is somewhat unique in that there has been development on the lots involved since the early ’70s when several families bought the island to put up personal cottages. However, when the original owners got to an age when they wanted to pass on the properties to children and family, questions as to ownership arose. To resolve those questions, the residents applied for a plan of subdivision, in order to formalize ownership within a legal framework. However, in July of 2006, as the Bridgen’s Island residents were applying for their subdivision, the Ontario government introduced legislation designating Eagle Lake as an at-capacity lake trout sensitive lake, meaning there could be no further development (ie no new lots). However, these lots weren’t really new per se, as there had been summer residents there for decades and their presence had already been noted when designating the lake as at-capacity. From there, a series of appeals and appearances before Central Frontenac Council and other various tribunals ensued before the uniqueness of their situation was acknowledged. ••• County Council also approved the Willowbrook Estates Subdivision in Inverary, a 27.8 hectare property consisting of seven lots in Phase 1 and nine lots in Phase 2. “It’s good to see this here and over with,” said Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal, Mayor of South Fronte-

nac where the subdivision is located. “This has been changed at least four times. ••• The Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus stated priorities for 2016 don’t include waste management issues and that concerned Coun. John Inglis considerably. “Waste has been dropped from the EOWC priorities but it’s still one of our (Frontenac County) top three priorities,” Inglis said. “In my view, we’ve failed in what we might be doing.” “I’ll agree that it’s slipped,” said CAO Kelly Pender. “It’s slipped with our CAOs group too and hasn’t been top of our radar. “But, it’s scheduled to be discussed by the public works managers group.” •••

Editorial

In Our Opinion

Land around dumpsites might be viable for commercial recycling operations Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Leeds and 1000 Islands Mayor Joe Baptista announced a rather intriguing plan his Township plans to pursue while summarizing the year that was and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come at the Chamber of Commerce meeting near Gananoque last week. It seems they own a lot of land around their landfill sites. Most rural municipalities do. You see, everyone had this idea of expanding their sites as they filled up until the provincial government decided to step in and decide that the landfill sites were big enough already, effectively ending expansion and subsequently leaving everyone scrambling with what to do with their garbage. Now Leeds and 1000 Islandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve the problem of what to do when the landfill is all filled up, but they might be on to something anyways. The idea is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to lease (or even perhaps sell) the land around

the landfills to companies in related businesses like recycling operations that could benefit by proximity. At first glance, it may seem like a good-luck-with-that-one concept, but when you start to think about it, it starts making more sense. For one thing, it could very well attract business to the area. South Frontenac Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth, when asked about the concept, was cautiously optimistic that there could be merit in such a plan. He did caution that it would probably take some economy of scale to be truly viable, but it could be done if enough municipalities bought into the concept and could agree on a location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Portland site might be a place where it could work,â&#x20AC;? Segsworth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve long believed that the solutions to waste management have to come on a regional basis.â&#x20AC;? To a certain extent, South Frontenac has already done something similar with its successful bale wrap and hazardous waste collection facilities. And since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the subject, Frontenac County has proclaimed waste management as one of its

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

top three priorities in one of those policy documents theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so fond of producing. Just how the actual concept would work remains to be seen, but it does seem plausible that a recycling firm might like the idea of collecting materials at a centralized location in the country, assuming they could reduce their costs and make a buck at it. Hell, it might even lead to increased recycling (although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine we country folk arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already putting everything we can into the bins rather than the dump site). But if it could work, you gotta think it would create a few jobs and some tax assessment. Of course nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to want to live next to such an operation but nobody lives that close to Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olden site and once the ball fields get totally moved to Mountain Grove, there should be some space available. Hell Central PWM John Badgley might even be able to get the hard plastic grinder heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been lusting after. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve all of our waste management issues, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth a look anyways.

8 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, January 28, 2016

Calm down over cauliflower Editorial - No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not theÂ End of Days. For off-season lovers the of white, tasteless relative a broccoli, it is a tough time, no doubt, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not a harbinger of the impending economic apocalypse. Â Many in the pundit class have surmised of late that the ludicrously high price of the vegetable is emblematic of a new economic reality, in which the cost of living has risen to near unbearable levels. But is this really the case? We urge our readers to consider what can be done about high cost of importing U.S. produce, as opposed to nailing down who is ultimately responsible for the Great Cauliflower Gauge of 2016. Yes, the exchange rate is pretty bad, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sign that a return the high oil-prices that kept our dollar humming along is anywhere near on the horizon. Why? Here are a few reasons:Â Supply is at an all-time high, with new technologies coming online exploiting hitherto inextricable oil. Everybody wanted to cash in on the high price of Texas Tea. Demand? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another story. China is slowing down growth as it focuses on building a middle class, and renewable energy sources are quickly coming on line. The demand for oil is reaching a plateau, thereby contributing to the global glut. In fact, many European economies are committed to the policy of full decarbonisation within the century.Â Moreover, world calamites such as war and political unrest that have traditionally caused disruptions in supply are actually on steep decline when compared to last century. If you look at it this way, the news is actually pretty darn good. Unfortunately, however, sustainable markets canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always cater to every whim and taste: tastes for instance, such as California cauliflower in the middle of the doldrums of January. Getting fresh, water-intensive crops in the middle of winter to a market thousands of miles away is a recipe for high prices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the current exchange rate combined with the ongoing California draught have only amplified this harsh reality. As always, there are two sides to every coin.Â Give yourself the chance to see the opportunity in the crisis and you will see thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for change and even growth. And that brings us back to the question of ultimate responsibility. As it turns out, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a bit of it to go around. You can blame grocers and the suppliers for their greed,Â you can blame China for their ineffective climate change policies which have contributed to the California draught, or you can even blame Trudeau for not doing more to bolster global demand for crude oil - but most of all, we should probably blame ourselves for paying the price. There are plenty of cheaper (and better tasting) things to eat at the store, and especially at the farms just outside our city. Oh, and by the way pundits, cauliflower was two for $5 dollars last week at Farm Boy, so we suggest you go get your fix now.

The opportunity for them to grow as players increases and the feedback we get is overwhelming. Kids really look forward to our program.” The Overtime Hockey spring/summer league in Kingston runs from April 17 to July 10.

News – Hockey is a sport that is typically played during the colder months of the year, but a new league is hoping to give players in Kingston a chance to play in the off-season too. Overtime Hockey has been operating a four on four spring and summer league in Peterborough for the past 10 years, and this year organizer Michael Farrugia, is hoping to start something similar in Kingston. “I started the Peterborough league because there was a real craving for some spring and summer hockey,” said Farrugia. “There is a big passion for hockey out here and we know that same passion is in Kingston. That is why we Michael Farrugia with one of his Overchose it as the next venture for the program.” time Hockey players in Peterborough. The league is based on a fun-first, fair play approach to the game. Play in all divisions is Photo/Submitted four on four, non-contact and there are no practices, making the league more relaxed and different from other traditional leagues. “Four on four is a lot different. There is more opportunity for ice time and puck touches,” explained Farrugia. “It is less COACH & TOURS intense and it gives kids an opportunity to try new things that they may not get in the winter season.

Jr. Frontenacs players take on cancer one inch of hair at a time Sports – As hockey players, Grayson Ebrahim, Jacob McLellan, and Lane Morency have learned about dedication, perseverance and hard work, but they’ve also learned these skills through another activity – growing their hair. For almost two years, the three AAA rep hockey players have been growing their hair for cancer and on Jan. 29, they

(L to R) Junior Frontenacs players Grayson Ebrahim, 12, Jacob McLellan, 11 and Lane Morency, 11, have been growing their hair for almost two years in support of cancer. They will be cutting their hair on Jan. 29 at the Fronts game. Photo/ Mandy Marciniak

are cutting it all off at the Kingston Frontenacs’ game. “We started growing our hair because it was cool and for playoffs,” explained Jacob McLellan, 11, who plays center for the Jr. Fronts. “After that we just kept going and we decided to try and donate it for people who need it.” The boys didn’t think it would take so long to grow the required eight inches of hair for donation, but they kept going, even when they wanted to quit.

“One day, about half way through, I came home and I was struggling to pull out knots and I got really frustrated and decided I didn’t really want to do it anymore,” explained Lane Morency. “ I told my parents and then they told me that my Nana was diagnosed with lung cancer that day. After that I decided to keep going for her. I wanted to do something to help.” All of the boys have been touched by cancer in some way; both McLellan’s Grandpa and Poppa are battling the disease and Ebrahim’s aunt is fighting breast cancer. The boys hope that this campaign can help in some way. “It doesn’t take much effort to grow hair and I think this will help a lot of people with their fight against cancer,” said McLellan. “I hope it shows other people that there is something they can do to help too.” Although the boys have had to deal with knots in their hair after practice and a bit of name-calling and teasing, they’ve stuck with it and their teammates have supported them. “The response from the teammates has been good, we’ve been made fun of a bit, but they know what it is for and they are happy for us,” said McLellan. “They think it is kind of cool.” The hair-growing process has been enjoyable for the most part, but all of the boys are looking forward to cutting off their hair and going back to normal shampoo and conditioner use. “I’ll probably use way too much shampoo after the cut,” laughed McLellan. “I kind of got used to the hair and it will be

different, but it is for a great cause and that is the best part for me.” The hair will be donated to the Pantene Great Lengths program and will be made into wigs for women fighting cancer. In addition to the hair, the boys are hoping to raise $1,000 for the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario and they also hope to inspire others. “I would encourage others to do the

circumstances that might limit their creative opportunities. Qualified applicants, in Grades 9 to 12, were asked to submit applications for the program and two lucky individuals have been selected: Thalia Danielson, a Grade 12 student at École Secondaire Catholique Marie-Rivier, and Megan Erb, a Grade 10 student at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. “I’ve always really loved writing ever since I was little and I have been writing stories for as long as I can remember,” said Erb, who couldn’t believe it when she got accepted to the program. “I was so excited and I may have cried a little. I am just so excited for the opportunity.” Beginning in February, Danielson and Erb will work with two well-known Kingston writers, Susan Olding and Lawrence Scanlan. Both Scanlan and Olding helped select their mentees from the applicants and Scanlan was overwhelmed by the amazing pieces he read. “It was really great to see. In general we looked for an original voice and a way with words,” he said. “We were looking for the best possible writing and I think we found it with the two winners.” While both of the winners have a passion for writing, they are also eager to learn more and hear what their experienced mentors have to say about their work.

News –Joe and Pam Vancoughnett have always been passionate about music; in 1989, the couple started a family country band with a couple of friends. They played covers of country classics and literally made a name for themselves in the community. “We really didn’t pick the name,”

Tommy Vancoughnett playing drums with his family band, Picket Fences. Photo/Submitted

explained Joe. “We played a show for an 80-year-old woman and afterwards she came up to us and said ‘we looked just like a picket fence up there with our white and black clothes and height differences’. From then on it stuck.” Picket Fences continued to evolve and cycled through various members; over the years, Joe and Pam continued to keep their growing family in-

volved. Music was always a part of life for their kids and eventually their son Tommy took the stage with them. “At a point our drummer couldn’t play anymore and that is when Tom jumped in,” said Joe. “He was about 10 years old and he was just taking lessons at the time, but he came on the stage and he just blew us away. We were really surprised and so was the audience and he really became a selling point for us at that point.” Tommy continued to play

with Picket Fences throughout his teen years and into his 20s. The band played local concerts and festivals, weddings and different events on the weekends and eventually other opportunities started coming Tommy’s way. “I had the opportunity to join a country band called Ambush and after some debate, I took it,” explained Vancoughnett. “I knew it meant leaving the family band, but it was a great opportunity to try something new. I’ve spent the past few years touring all over Canada with the band and it

has been great.” Both Joe and Pam were extremely happy for their son and pushed him to take the opportunity. They continued on with Picket Fences after Tommy left, but things weren’t the same. “It was a great opportunity for him and we fully supported the venture, but we missed him,” said Joe. “We went through a few other members while Tom was gone, but the chemistry was never really the same.” Continued on page 15

“I hope to get some feedback on how to improve my writing skills and I am looking forward to having an inspirational mentor,” said Danielson. “I’m not sure what I want to write about just yet, but I hope they

will help me find a direction.” The program runs until the end of May and Scanlan and Olding will be helping their mentees produce a fully finished, ready for publication work that will be showcased at Kingston WritersFest 2016.

“We think it is very important for the students to have an audience and get their work out there,” said Olding. “We want to help them identify their creative process and help build on their strengths as writers. We also want to help them find a place for their writing and so we hope the work they com-

plete will also get published.” Olding is excited for the program and commented that she wished something like this existed when she was growing up. “I can’t imagine a more exciting opportunity for a student,” she said. Scanalan is also looking forward to the program and interacting with a new generation of passionate

writers. “I hope that the passion they clearly show for writing will be stoked by the process and that they learn a lot,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to it and I hope they are too.” To learn more about the Merilyn Simonds Protégé Project, visit kingstonwritersfest.ca

While Tommy did really enjoy his time with Ambush, he missed his family too, especially his wife and three kids back home in Kingston. The life of a touring musician was really demanding, especially as Tommy tried to figure out career options at the same time, and after a lot of consideration, he decided to come home. “I decided to get back to my roots and closer to home. The experience put things into perspective for me. I love music and I love performing, but I also love my family and having more of a balance and I can do both right here in Kingston.” Tommy’s official return to Picket Fences happened on New Year’s Eve at a local concert. Both Pam and Joe were excited to have him back and Joe is excited to keep the momentum going. “We love seeing Tom up there with us again and also seeing his kids coming out and enjoying the shows too,” he said. “The best part has been getting back together on that stage and having a great time every time we perform.” Picket Fences is still going strong for the family and although Joe is happy to have everything back the way it should be, he also looks forward to retiring from the band and hopefully passing it off to Tommy in the future. “I’d love to see it continue on with him and his family,” he said. “It really is a labour of love for our family.” For now, Tommy is just happy to be home and is in no hurry to takeover just yet.

“It would be fun to take it over sometime, but I’m not in any rush,” he said. “I’m having a lot of fun with my family and doing what I love and that is what it’s all about.” For more information about Picket Fences, visit http://www.pickettfences.webs.com/ or look for them and their tour dates on Facebook.

High school student starts intergenerational choir bring joy to Kingston seniors with Alzheimer’s By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – At the age of 16, Naomi Gazendam has already had a lot of experience with Alzheimer’s; her grandfather was diagnosed with the disease five years ago and after helping with his care she was inspired to help others too. For the past three years, Gazendam, a Grade 11 student at Holy Cross, has volunteered at Providence Manor and spent time with patients who have dementia and Alzheimer’s. She enjoys spending time with them and helping them, but she wanted to do more. “I saw a video of an intergenerational choir in London, Ontario that included dementia and Alzheimer’s patients,” she explained. “I’ve seen the effect music has on my own

grandfather and I wanted to see if it could help others in Kingston too.” When the school year began in September, Gazendam started putting the choir together and quickly found both adult and student volunteers that were interested in participating. “Most of the students just love singing and love music and I think that really drew them in,” she said. “But some also have family members with dementia and I think that brought them in too.” She also contacted the Alzheimer Society of KFL&A to recruit interested and qualifying seniors and they were happy to come on board. “We had been talking about doing a music-based program for our clients for a while, so the timing was perfect,” said Caitlin Norwich-Stevenson, education and support co-

ordinator for the Alzheimer Society. Music programs are becoming more and more popular for Alzheimer’s patients and similar choirs have been running throughout Ontario with great success. While research is still being done to explain why music positively impacts people suffering from the disease, Norwich-Stevenson has seen the effects firsthand. “Music seems to bring them to life in a sense,” she said. “Music seems to be untouched by the disorder. When a song that comes on that they know they will start singing and nothing else seems to

have the power to do that.” Gazendam saw this effect with her grandfather and her family would often use music to calm him. “His Alzheimer’s is very late stage now, but when he used to get agitated we would put an iPod on and he would completely transform and be calm and humming and tapping his foot. It is amazing to see the impacts.”

She hopes the same impacts will come from the choir and she has set it up so that each senior will be paired with a student volunteer. The duos will learn songs together and then come together as a choir. “We are going to focus on older songs that will be familiar to the seniors like ‘You are My Sunshine’ or ‘When Irish Eyes are Smiling’, most of the songs will be new to the student volunteers, but I think that will be fun.” The choir will also offer a break for caregivers of seniors with Alzheimer’s and Norwich-Stevenson will be offering a support group during rehearsal times. Choir practices will start in February at Holy Cross and Gazendam hopes to have everyone ready for a concert on May 13. She also hopes that both the students and the seniors benefit from the experience. “The intergenerational aspect will be great and I just want to bring these seniors joy,” she said. “I am also hoping this will help the students and it will allow them to see that these elderly people still have talents and gifts and insights to share. Their life still has so much value and I think that is often overlooked.” The choir is still looking for senior participants and anyone interested is asked to contact the Alzheimer Society KFL&A at 613.544.3078

News – It is estimated that one out of every four students will be bullied during the school year, but the Harlem Globetrotters are hoping to change that. As part of their philanthropic and goodwill efforts, the Globetrotters have put together an ‘ABCs of Bullying Prevention’ program and on Jan. 18 they brought that program to the students of Mulberry Waldorf Elementary School in Kingston. “We will be playing a game in Kingston on Jan. 30, but we always try to come in a couple weeks before our games to spread our message of goodwill throughout the community,” said Globetrotter Zeus McClurkin. “I visited the kids and showed them some tricks and I also talked to them about bullying, something we see as a serious issue throughout North America.” McClurkin focused his presentation on the ABCs of bullying – action, bravery and compassion and also shared his own experiences with the kids. “I tell the kids about how I was bullied when I was their age and their size,” he said. “I was able to overcome it and they see me now and they think that if I made it through and got to where I am today then they can too.” For McClurkin, the most important part of the presentation is the part about bravery and teaching kids that bravery doesn’t mean fighting back. “A lot of times, people think it is brave to stand up to a bully or fight back and yell back, but I think bravery is having the ability to walk away,” he said. “If you get into a fight or yelling match with a bully then chances are you will both get in trouble and that doesn’t help anyone.”

The kids at Mulberry Waldorf were very receptive to the presentation and McClurkin is always happy to see the impact the presentation has on them. “I was bullied and I wish I had someone come in and talked to me about everything and that may have allowed me to overcome it better,” he said. “As athletes we naturally have a magnetism and it is great that we can use our powers for good.” Teaching kids about bullying is just one of the many things the Globetrotters do for communities across North America. Recently, they embarked on a mission to spread smiles and over the next 10 years, they hope to spread 100 million smiles across North America. “I am not sure how we are going to

Glenna Green treats music like a value old friend. Green describes herself as a second generation music brat with the classical and jazz influences of her childhood, to which she adds her love of folk music. These days you will find her performing across the region, mostly out of town, as well as across the country on the train. Via Rail Canada hires Green to entertain travellers coast to coast. Part of the gig

includes busking in the train stations along the rail route. She spent her career with Canada Post. Before she retired, she’d lined up her first travelling gig on the train. “I’m leaving on my tenth trip in January,” she said. She’ll be providing the musical entertainment on the train from Toronto to Vancouver. She grew up in a musical home, with a jazz pianist father. “My dad was a lounge lizard,” she said. “He would rehearse the singers at the bottom of the stairs in our house on Saturday mornings. If you weren’t out of bed in time, you were stuck upstairs until they were done.” She said her father’s band would hang

out at her home on Friday nights after gigs. “We had a Hammond B3 [organ], an upright piano, string bass, tons of percussion and a stocked bar. My kid brother, older brother and I would fight over taking turns to run through the wave of smoke. Dad played piano and organ at right angles to each other. He had three suits: burgundy, dark green and mustard, with white patent leather shoes. A singer up front would wear froufrou and sequins.” Instruments in

the band varied, but usually included things like piano, guitar, violin, sax, drums and bass. Green took up guitar herself at the age of 14. “I was a rebel,” she said. “Dad hated

harmonica, bagpipes and guitar. I can understand bagpipes, but guitar? He even had a jazz guitarist in his band. Dad was a jingle-writing, womanizing, Charlie Sheen-kind-of-character who had four kids,” said Green. “Mom was more like a cross between Martha Stewart and Lilith Crain, Frasier’s first wife. Mom was hands-on and would fix anything, including the front end of the Dodge. Dad wouldn’t risk his hands.” When it came time to work, Green found a part-time job at Canadian Tire, but part-time work didn’t provide enough income. “A herd of us needed a pay cheque,” she said. “A call went out from Canada Post in 1978 and we applied. It took a year to go through all the tests. Twentyfour of us made the list and we were all hired on the same day in August 1979.” At first, she worked part-time from 6 p.m. to midnight, then worked full-time from 4 p.m. to midnight. “That doesn’t help to get gigs,” she said. “I had to hustle for afternoon jazz gigs. I started doing kid shows.” She laughed and showed me a photo. “Tonight I’ll be dressed like a Christmas tree. I had to get creative to keep working in music.”

A musical healer

But the work was hard to come by because of her evening/night schedule at Canada Post. It also made rehearsals difficult to plan. “I had to get odd times to play. I could do a Saturday, but not a Friday night. Or I’d fill in when someone was sick. I don’t like not rehearsing. A lot of guys in town do it; they are so stinking good and are able to jump in without rehearsing.” Over the years, she’s seen how music positively affects people. She decided to train in the use of music for therapeutic purposes through The Music for Healing and Transition Program (MHTP). In addition to entertaining the masses, she now works as a music practitioner in medical settings. “[The training] wasn’t cheap, and it wasn’t a whim,” she said. “The program started in the States in the early ‘90s. They’ve expanded to Scotland and Australia. We were the first bunch of Canucks.” According to information provided by MHTP, pracitioners provide one-onone palliative care to the ill and the dying in hospitals, hospices, homes, and other clinical settings. By focusing on a single patient at a time, the music practitioner can provide therapeutic music that meets the patient’s needs in the moment, creating a nurturing environment, which facilitates healing. Music practitioners work in such diverse settings as intensive care units, birth/delivery rooms, palliative care, psychiatric wards, Alzheimer’s units, dental offices and ambulatory surgery units. “When you are really distressed, the right kind of music not only takes down the anxiety of the patient, but also the people visiting the patient,” said Green. “Everybody just calms down. It’s a musical sedative, a musical hug. There’s a cacophony of sounds in a hospital, all the beeps, the sounds in the hall, warn-

ing sounds going off; it’s rattling for patients. Music creates a healing space.” Green visits Kingston General Hospital and Providence Care to deliver healing sounds. Like her therapeutic work, in her regular entertainment gigs, Green will play for any group. “I play for kids, and I play for seniors,” she said. “There’s no audience I’m afraid of. I can win over country fans.” She put her fingers on her guitar fretboard and launched into Tennessee Waltz. “Country is the hardest group to please. Some say they like country, others want western. There are so many styles and you have to find something to appeal to everyone.” Green doesn’t want to leave anyone out, and she’s found ways to work with difficult crowds. “Jackie Washington (Canadian jazz, blues and folk musician, and grandson of a runaway slave) was a cool buddy of mine,” said Green. “He used to dedicate some of his songs to the table that was the noisiest. He had a way of charming a room.” Like Jackie Washington, Glenna Green charms the room. She’s learned that everyone is there because they want to have a good time and the musician onstage should not separate themselves from the audience. “I’m not impressed by the attitude that the musician is above the audience,” she said. “Everyone that goes out wants to have a good time. As long as you know that, you can pull a good time out of them. I use the tools I learned in the [Music Practitioner] course. I’ve learned to read the audience. I don’t just throw music at them. I bring out the music they have in them, too. That doesn’t mean you have to play requests. But let’s say I’m playing to woman in her early 30s. I think about what I was going through in my early 30s and sing something that rings true to her

Local business owner donates $28,000 worth of merchandise to Better Beginnings By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

News - Supporting families; creating community; building relationships; sharing experiences; changing lives: those are listed as the core values of Go Green Baby on the local store’s website, and owner Natalie George is putting her money

where her mouth is this month by donating approximately $28,000 worth of merchandise to the Kingston Community Health Centre program Better Beginnings for Kingston Children. George says that supporting the community is a big part of her business philosophy. Over the years, Go Green Baby has given back to a

number of charities and causes, such as Interval House, Save a Family from Syria, the Happy Soul Project and the NICU, but Better Beginnings is the one she keeps coming back to; this is the third time

she has donated a large amount of merchandise to them in the last few years. “Go Green Baby is located in their district (the north end),” she explains. …“We’re always looking for ways to bring about change in our community and to help people in our community. I really like Better Beginnings because they support a wide variety of families. We’ve helped out quite a bit in various capacities.” Recently, Go Green Baby donation – Natalie George decided to George’s husband, Jamin, drops simplify the store off boxes full of donations for and carry fewer young families at Better Begin- products.

wanted to donate it to those in need. “I do it with my own life too. When we buy a new appliance or anything new, most of the time we just donate the [old] item somewhere, because we’ve long paid for that. I don’t need to get anything from it. I want to share that with other people so that they can have the opportunity to use that product.” Products being donated include everything from maternity and nursing clothing, which the store doesn’t carry anymore, to baby carriers with out-dated patterns and colours, to children’s toys. George explains that most of the products she carries at Go Green Baby are fairly high end, and thus at a price point that’s inaccessible for many families. “We want safe products in people’s homes, so this is a great opportunity for us to give back so that families that typically wouldn’t have access to our products can have access to really good quality items.” “There is no doubt that the families that will benefit from this very generous donation will be thrilled,” says Better Beginnings coordinator Janice Webb, noting that it really speaks to the old phrase ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. “We are truly fortunate to have a business like this in our community that is part of our community and we can’t thank them enough for recognizing the unique needs of our program.” Better Beginnings offers a wide range of programs for families that are motivated to be the best parents they can be despite the challenges life throws in their way. They provide services to north end families for pregnant women and children under five in the form of prenatal programs, in home support, prenatal nutrition program, infant groups, toddler groups, playgroups, parenting programs, cooking programs and school readiness programs.

After Kingston filmmaker Ilke Hincer completed his last film, Paper Covers Rock (2013), a straight up drama, he wanted to try something different. The result is No Fury, a spy film with comedic twists. “I’ve always been a fan of James Bond and Mission Impossible films,” said Hincer. “With what can be shot nowadays, even for independent productions, I wanted to try something along that vein. No Fury has a lot of those elements to it. With a spy film, you have mystery, you have suspense.” One of the twists to this new film is a strong female element. “I acted in Toronto for about a decade,” said Hincer. “What I would notice in going to auditions, is that only once in a while there were strong roles for women. Such roles are so few and far between in Toronto. My actress friends were always complaining that the only female roles were for the girl in the bikini or the girlfriend.” Hincer decided to write something with women in protagonist roles. “The three leads in [No Fury] are the three female spy characters,” he said. Hincer said that the film is half an hour long, and it’s filled with twists and turns. “Part of the appeal of the film are the surprises that come from the experience.”

Acting has always been a passion for Hincer. “Even as far back as Grade 7 and 8,” he said. In the 1990s, he moved to Toronto to work full-time in the entertainment world. He got involved in films, voice-overs and TV shows. “I’d heard so many stories about typecasting,” he said. “More and more I find it’s getting better in

“When you have multiple actors in a scene, you have to get the timing just right for the comedic effect,” said Hincer. “The same applies to action scenes. There’s a real choreography to it. A lot of time is spent in rehearsing and in the editing process. When you put humor into some of the action sequences you make it doubly hard to make it come alive.” Hincer said that he’s the kind of person who fidgets in his seat during a long movie that may not offer the best storytelling, and he wanted his film to capture everyone’s attention throughout the viewing. Since he didn’t have the budget for a feature film, he wanted to tell a specific story in about 30 minutes. “It’s a ride the audience goes on from beginning to end,” he said. “Prepare to be surprised. It’s like the difference from seeing a roller coaster in the distance and then the experience of going on it. There’s non-stop action in the film.” To Hincer, the key to hooking the audience is the emotional authenticity of the actors. A director and filmmaker have to make the characters believable in order to bring them to life. “We took time on shoot days in one- or twominute sequences to bring each character to life through their embodiment of the role. It makes it more difficult but also more rewarding. We wanted to know if we could get this across in 30 minutes and still keep it engaging. I’m confident we did and it’s quite unlike anything anyone has seen before.” The only scheduled showing of the film is on Sunday, January 31 at the TVCOGECO Kingston Studio, and it’s an in-person viewing. This film is not being broadcast on COGECO TV. After the premiere at Cogeco, Hincer is hoping to include No Fury in film festivals and per-

haps move into digital downloads in the future. He thinks the Kingston audience will be pleasantly surprised. “It doesn’t come across as a modest budget film,” said Hincer. “Blake Davis has written a wonderful score for the film. The score is often instrumental to the enjoyment of the experience. Blake and I were really on the same page. He makes the action come alive. As the characters breathe, there’s a certain momentum for the film and the music has to meet that momentum.” Hincer said his films have become longer, and, as a storyteller, he would one day like to consider a feature-length story. As an acting coach, Hincer has some general advice for actors: “Get really comfortable with bringing the character to life. It’s not so much about the lines. For the most part, the writer’s not sitting there figuring out the most literate way of getting something across. It’s about hearing the character’s voice in your head and bringing that to life. The key is to look at what’s on the page and bringing what life experience you have to make the person you’re portraying come alive. Embody the role; don’t act.” No Fury features several locals, including principal actors Helena Marks, Signy Lynch, Anthony D.P. Mann and Amanda Edwards. “It’s a really unique take on the genre,” said Hincer. “We’ve pulled out all the stops for 30 minutes of no-holds-barred action.” There’s one showing only at 2 p.m. on January 31 at the TVCOGECO Kingston studio at 170 Colborne Street. Members of the cast and crew will be in attendance. Tickets are five dollars, payable at the door, cash only. If you plan on attending, send an e-mail to nofuryfilm@gmail. com to confirm your attendance in advance, and indicate how many will be in your group. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

Father said he had no recollection of how the red bricks came to us on the farm in Northcote. They were always there. And yes, they served just about the same purpose as they did since he was a little boy. He said they could probably have come from a building that was being built many years ago, such as the big red brick house beside Briscoe’s General Store, where the family lived for generations. “If there were bricks laying around, and not being used, you could have them, I guess,” he said. And no, he doubted any money changed hands. I accepted that explanation of how red bricks got to us when there wasn’t a building on our entire farm that wasn’t made of logs or boards. But they were certainly put to good use by our family. They were mostly used in the wintertime. Always a couple sat on the reservoir at the back of the stove, as Mother said “just in case”. The “just in case” meant we needed a quick warm up for freezing feet on a bitterly cold day after being outside playing in the snow, or after our three and a half mile walk home from the Northcote School. And if there wasn’t something cooking in the oven of the Findlay Oval, it wasn’t unusual to see a couple bricks heating up inside. If we were still wearing our stockings, there was no need to wrap the bricks in a heavy towel. We just put our stockinged feet right on the hot bricks and got immediate warmth. Of course, we never went anywhere in the cutter or on the sleigh without hot bricks wrapped many times in the Renfrew Mercury and

placed under our galoshes-covered feet. Hot bricks warmed our beds at night. How I loved to crawl between the feather ticking that covered us, and the feathered mattress, and know that the bricks had warmed the bed first! There was one brick that never touched the floor. This one was scrubbed clean and sat on the bake table and was wrapped in cheesecloth. It was used to hold down anything we ate that needed to be “pressed” as Mother called it. And you better not touch it without washing your hands first, either. And then there were the bricks that served as doorstops. The ones in the shed and the back summer kitchen were minus their corners from being kicked into place over decades. But the two bricks that caught my fancy the most were the one that sat at the back door in the kitchen, and the one at the door in the parlour. Both of them were door stops, but because they were the first thing a visitor saw when coming into our house, you would never, at

Automotive device gives real boost to car batteries covered in a recent issue of the EMC. We were having trouble with our 2013 Escape. We had two incidences in the first winter of the battery needing replacement after going flat (thank you, Ford warranty). It turned out the problem was as you described: too many short trips, start-

ing in cold weather, and the ongoing drain from all those intelligent features (remote start, etc.). What saved our bacon was a Battery Tender. We now plug the car in whenever necessary (most times).

New safety standards rules coming The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has finally updated their ancient set of rules and regulations pertaining to vehicle safety inspections. The new rules take effect this July and will revise the entire inspection and certification process that must take place whenever a used vehicle changes ownership (outside certain direct family transfers). The current guide is more than 40 years old and is silent on such items as air-bags and electronic stability control. The new regulations include these items and much more such as a written inspection report. While most repair shops that have been contacted indicate the new items won’t drastically increase the time taken to complete the inspection and report, they don’t expect the fees to remain as they were previously. This inspection now requires a mandatory road-test by a licensed technician. While the final draft has yet to be posted on the MTO website, you can find a preliminary copy at http://www. ontariocanada.com/registry/showAttachment.do?postingId=18062&attach mentId=27411. Keep in mind this inspection only covers a certain portion of the vehi-

cle’s systems and only attests to their condition on the day of the inspection. It should never be used as an indication of the value of any vehicle nor its likelihood to provide relatively reliable service. Buyer beware A good and respected friend (well experienced in the auto business) passed along a story of a very detailed scam lately and it’s worth covering here. True car nuts never let the distance between them and the vehicle they’re after stop them from making a deal. Online shopping for used vehicles is quite common today and you might be surprised at the number of buyers who pay out for the car of their dreams, sight unseen. This friend recently found a great deal online for a popular sports car listed at just the right price. The vehicle was located out of province but as I mentioned distance is often not a factor. He took the time to do some research on the seller and the freight company that would be involved in shipping the car. The seller gladly forwarded a copy of the vehicle ownership and their driver’s licence along with a vehicle inspection report and emission test certificate. All looked completely normal. Some online sleuthing by my friend turned up a well populated and used FaceBook account belonging to the seller and a full authentic-looking website for the shipping company. The seller was looking for a bank-to-bank transfer of funds which anyone would tell you is much safer than using PayPal or forwarding a money order or using a credit card. The reason given for selling the car was a move out of the country for employment reasons. Everywhere my friend looked online made this sale seem like a legitimate deal, but he is known to be a doubting Thomas, so he kept digging. Finally he found a report of a used vehicle scam in the UK with so many details that matched his find that he knew he was about to fall for the same ruse. Of course he didn’t forward any money and he contacted FaceBook to report a possible fraudulent use of their site. He was amazed at the details in this attempt and the time it must have taken to create all the various documents and social media profiles, but if there’s illegal money to be made and an Internetconnected computer at hand, time isn’t much of a barrier.

Meet your Metroland sales rep

A Q&A with Dave Anderson - Sales manager, FlyerMail and account manager, HomeFinder

Q: What originally drew you to the sales field? What are your areas of specialty? A) I started working at Sport Chek when I was 17. I worked there for 6 years and enjoyed interacting with customers – that, I believe, grew my passion for sales, customer service and customer satisfaction.

Q) What unique contributions do you feel you bring to the Metroland Kingston sales team? A) I enjoy what I do – I have fun with my clients, but I also have a serious side. A mix of both is very important. I’m high energy, easy going and competitive. Q) When you’re not selling fabulous Metroland print and digital advertising packages, what are you most likely doing?

A) I enjoy all sports. I’m still heavily active with baseball (East York Senior AAA), volleyball, basketball, hockey, fishing and running.

Q) You are new to Kingston. What is your hometown and what have you learned about the city so far? A) I am originally from Havelock. I moved to Peterborough when I was 17 and lived there for 15 years. I haven’t had the

chance to explore Kingston yet, but I am looking forward to doing so in the summer.

Q) Tell us one random, interesting fact about yourself… A) I love everything that involves the outdoors and staying as active as possible. Get in touch with Dave by emailing him at daveanderson@ metroland.com or giving him a call at 613-546-8885 ext. 215.

Fun cast keeps this comedy from hitting ‘worst of’ list says no. Angela asks James to take Ben, but James still says no. Then James figures this is just what Ben needs to realize he isn’t cut out to be a detective. The brothers-in-law (their joke not mine) head to Miami to find computer hacker A.J. (Ken Jeong). Finding him isn’t too hard, but not long after they find him someone tries to kill them all. It seems Ben and James have stumbled into something big, and all roads lead to businessman Antonio Pope (Benjamin Bratt). With help from local detective Maya (Olivia Munn) Ben and James decide to take down Miami’s top crime boss. Ride Along 2 isn’t as dumb as I thought it would be. I’m not saying it’s a good movie, but it is mindless and in-

offensively entertaining, and sometimes that’s what you’re looking for. You don’t pay $12 for it, but you might grab it from the $5 bin. To be fair there are some really funny scenes. There’s a high-speed car chase that had me in stitches. The thing is, these kinds of comedies always have a moment when the two main characters put aside their differences, and come together. Ride Along 2 has that moment, but it needed to happen a lot sooner. If Hart’s character is a shade less annoying, and Cube’s character is a shade less angry, this is a great movie. It’s hard to say if Ice Cube is acting or just being himself, but he does do a decent angry cop. Kevin Jeong is one of the few people who can keep up with Kevin Hart. Olivia Munn scores a laugh or two, and Benjamin Bratt gives the film’s villain his own brand of comedic flair. On the whole it’s a decent cast, they just needed a better movie to be in. The one thing that almost makes this film worth going to see is Kevin Hart. He’s so funny and so quick he’s like comedic lightning. I’ll see anything he does I just wish I had waited for the DVD. Ride Along 2 isn’t great, but if it’s the worst film I see this year then it’ll be a pretty good year.

I missed the first Ride Along so I was a little concerned I might be a little lost in Ride Along 2. It wasn’t an issue. With his wedding to Angela (Tika Sumpter) just on the horizon, and in his new job as a probationary police officer Ben Barber’s (Kevin Hart) life is almost perfect. Ben really wants to be a detective even though he’s barely out of the academy. If only he could prove himself to his future brother-in-law, detective James Payton (Ice Cube). Sure enough an opportunity comes along when James has to go to Miami to track down a person of interest. Ben begs to go. James R0013575937
