Central Frontenac takes steps to ensure accessiblity By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette Column — Central Frontenac now has an Integrated Accessibility Policy, which is required as of January 2014 under provincial legislation. Non-compliance can result in fines up to $100,000. Donna Longmire, executive assistant to the CAO/Clerk, presented the IAP to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. She said the policy was developed jointly with Frontenac County and meets the requirements of the Province’s Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulations. “The proposed IAP incorporates all requirements of the new IASR, which are required by January 2014, including employment standards which require policies regarding recruitment, information for employees and pro-

cesses to accommodate employees and IASR for employees, volunteers and members of Council,” she said in her report. “The policy statement and objectives convey the Township’s commitment to treating all people in a manner that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence and confirms all aspects of the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulations.” The new policies include a multiyear accessibility plan, a procurement policy that incorporates accessibility design, criteria and features with procuring or acquiring goods, services or facilities, except where its is not practical to do so, rules for self-service kiosks and training for all employees, volunteers, persons who participate in developing the County’s policies and third parties providing goods and services on the Township’s behalf. “Are we up to date with our washrooms?” asked Coun. Tom Dewey.

“Through accessibility, we’re pretty well caught up with that,” said Longmire. “All the requirements as of today’s date, we’re compliant with,” said CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson. “Moving forward, the next key date is Dec. 31, 2014. “We do have to provide training for the policy we’re adopting but the County will be doing that beginning in February-March. “Once we do that, we’re good for 2014.” “But we still have stairs (ie, buildings without elevators),” said Dewey. “What’s the drop-dead date for that?” “I think it’s 2015 for things like trails,” said Longmire. “For the whole Act, it’s 2025,” said Coun. Jeff Matson. “The first part of the regulations are focused on services and the people who deliver them,” said Mayor Janet

Gutowski. “I don’t think a lot of the issues surrounding historical buildings have been addressed as yet.” Longmire’s report did address transportation and design of public spaces, however. “The Township has no obligated requirement under transportation standards, however recognizing that it will make it easier for people to travel in Ontario, including persons with disabilities, older Ontarians and families traveling with children with strollers, the Township will encourage private transportation providers to meet the requirements of the transportation standard,” it said. With respect to design of public spaces, it said: “(Accessibility) will be accomplished with the development and implementation of policies, practices, procedures, resources, equipment and training in the provisions outlined in the IASR.”

GREC greets the public with first ever open house By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — This is a year of firsts at the Granite Ridge Education Centre (GREC) in Sharbot Lake. For example, the girls’ senior volleyball team christened the new gym with a 3-1 victory over Frontenac Secondary Jan. 7. And last week, students and staff invited the community in for an open house with tours of the new facility. “It’s going wonderfully, we’re thrilled with the facility,” said principal Heather Highet. “There are still a few things yet to be done but all the learning facilities are up and running.” As a K-12 school, the primary and secondary grades are essentially split with the lower grades classrooms on the first floor and the high school classes on the second. The school boasts a wide range of amenities and features, right down to digital clocks integrated into the walls of each classroom. Almost everything is new, including a host of new computers, a state-of-the-art library with a community meeting room and leather seats, a Snoezelen Room (for chilling out), the Grotto (a quiet place for younger students), two kindergarten rooms, an indoor greenhouse and separate staircases for the primary and secondary students.

One thing visitors will immediately notice is how bright the place is. “All of the windows are designed to let the maximum amount of light in,” said tour guide Emily Delyea. “It’s eco-something,” said fellow guide Taylor Meeks. “Helps keep the heating costs down.” The improved natural light is also quite evident in the crown jewel of the facility. The new gym is a vast improvement over the old one, allowing for a regulation basketball/volleyball court, which can be split into two gyms. “Everybody gets gym now,” said Highet. “One of the things still to be done is a final coat of Varathane on the gym floor but the contractors want to wait until it’s had some use before they put that on.” The weight room and change rooms are a bit smaller than the old high school, but that’s probably balanced out by the new gym (complete with bleachers, which replace the old single row of stacking chairs seating in the old gym) as well as the “food room”, which can be used for team dinners. The new gym is also part of the cafetorium concept the old school had. The stage is huge and features connections to the art and music rooms, something Grade 8 teacher Julia Schall, who plans to get her School of Rock up and running as soon as possible, found particu-

hoping the community will be using the place a lot too. “We’re really excited for the whole community,” she said. “There are a lot of ways the community can use the school and the more parents and adults we get in here, the better.”

Kingstonians gather to support prison farm arrestees on the eve or their appeal that fate tomorrow.” Jamie Masse, Andrew McCann and Patrick Thompson are the three appealers. McCann spoke at the gathering of how they plan on fighting their charges and the importance of gathering to discuss the issues. “The essence of our argument is not that what we did doesn’t fit in the definition of mischief or criminal mischief according to the criminal code, but rather that it is within the limits of tolerance in a democratic society and this kind of peaceful disobedience should not be criminalized. This event is to broaden the discussion surrounding this issue.” Also on hand to support the issue was Sarah Harmer, who kicked off the event with a few inspirational songs. Harmer has been active throughout the campaign and was proud to see the protests and blockades on the news back in 2010. “I am really honoured to be here and inspired by the Save Our Prison Farms work,” said Harmer. “It was really wonderful too see Kingston on the national news when I was touring out west when everything was going down here and I am really happy to be here now to listen to everyone and hear about the great work that is being done and to be part of it all.” While Save Our Prison Farms (SOPF) was unsuccessful in their quest to keep the prison farms

Gazette News – In 2009 the Canadian Government decided to close the Frontenac prison farm and six others prison farms across the country. Agriculture and farming were deemed non-useful skills for inmates and in an effort to save money, the farms were closed, much to the dismay of many Canadians. For Kingston farmers Dianne Dowling, Jeff Peters and many more, this was a blow to their trade and they weren’t going to just lie down and accept the closures. Four and a half years later, they still aren’t willing to accept the closures and on Jan. 30, they and many of their supporters in Kingston gathered for an informative evening on how things are progressing and what can be done at this stage. “The timing behind tonight’s program is connected to the appeal trial that is occurring tomorrow morning,” explained Dowling at the Memorial Hall gathering. “Twenty-four people were arrested in 2010 for peacefully trying to keep the cattle at the dairy farm and 11 people stood trial and those 11 were convicted of attempted mischief. Three people took the task on of appealing their conviction so that perhaps we could gain some footing for future cases and demonstrations and they will face

open, they are confident that the farms will reopen in the future. They even have all of the animals ready to return to the farms when they do reopen. “After the arrests, the next morning we were waiting to hear our bail conditions and someone spawned the idea to buy some of the cows so we bought four that day and we slowly purchased the rest of them as well,” explained Jeff Peters, local farmer and one of the leaders of SOPF. “We needed money to purchase them so Call 613-376-6309 we formed a co-operative called 4400 George St. Sydenham the Prison Farm Herd Co-op and Toll Free: 1-800-275-1581 now we have 160 members and they bought all of the animals that were available from Frontenac.

Global Pet Foods wants to see your heart mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; February is the month of love and Global Pet Foods is hoping some of that love will come to them in the form of donations from their customers. On Feb. 1, the pet food chain kicked off their eighth annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Show us Your Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraiser to benefit local shelters. Each of the 160 Global Pet Foods stores across Canada will be collecting donations until Feb. 15 and here in Kingston, manager Carla Caird is hoping for some recordbreaking donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year our goal is $7,000 and we are really hoping to hit that goal,â&#x20AC;? said Caird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pets really benefit from the money

and 100 per cent of the donations go to the shelters. We donate to Gananoque Humane Society and Kingston Humane Society and we really lean on the good people of Kingston to help us out during this time of year, every little bit helps.â&#x20AC;? Last year, funds raised throughout the campaign were used to save the life of a cat in Kingston. Donations paid for surgery that enabled the cat to walk again and after healing. Customers at Global got to see the cat around the store, waiting for adoption. Global Pet Foods is unique in the way that they approach cat adoptions â&#x20AC;&#x201C;they roam free throughout the store and often times follow customers around while they shop. This leads to a very high success rate for adoption. In 2012, Caird saw 45 adop-

tions in the month of February alone, but there is still a need for more adoptions each week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have days where two cats get adopted and then four more come in that need to be adopted. In the month of December a few years ago they had an adopt-a-thon in Gananoque and they had 40 adoptions in one day and then 22 cats showed up the next day. We are raising money for the shelters but we are also trying to raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption through the shelters because cats are always in need of homes.â&#x20AC;? Global Pet Foods has raised $570,000 since 2005 with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Show us Your Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign. The Kingston location was the top earner in 2012 and Caird would like to see them do it again this year. With bonus incentives, she thinks they can get there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people donate more than $5 they get 10 bonus air miles and then there are some other incentive prizes we are offering, but people have to come in to find out what they are. We really encourage people to donate but we also like to give them thanks in return and when they can see what the money does, like with the cat last year, that is really rewarding for them and for us.â&#x20AC;? Global Pet Foods and Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ideal Balance will also add $1 for every donation that is made in the store and Caird is sure that this year will be another great success, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost nobody says no when you ask if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to donate and that is so fantastic to see. We really get to see how generous our customers are at this time of year and I am always pleasantly surprised.â&#x20AC;?

Central Frontenac has $127 million worth of roads, bridges and culverts Reporter

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Council received its new Asset Management Plan (AMP) for information at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake and much of it is merely formalizing policies that the Township has been following for some time now, said Treasurer Michael McGovern. “In speaking to the Public Works Manager (Mike Richardson), we are already doing much of this,” McGovern said. “We need to formalize policy.” Coun. John Purdon noted that the majority of assets cited for replacement and maintenance programs tended to be roads/bridges. “Are we going to do buildings too?” said Purdon. “Our building budget has increased to $30,000 from $22,500,” said McGovern. “We are starting to separate items like windows and roofs. “We’re looking at a March-April time frame for addressing this so I’m guessing May (for a report).” McGovern said that vehicles and equipment would also be addressed in Phase 2 of the AMP. The provincial government mandated that all municipalities must pro-

duce an AMP by the end of December, 2013 in order to access funding. The plan lists the Township’s roads and bridges assets at a replacement cost of $127,191,397, of which $101,325,708 is the roads network and $25,865,689 is bridges and culverts. One potentially ominous aspect of the AMP is that it states the capital deficit in regards to roads and bridges is $776,000. McGovern said it also suggests remedying the situation by: 1. Any debit repayment elimination be applied to the annual capital deficit on roads and bridges. 2. Increase the tax rate each year by 0.9 per cent over a 10-year period or by 1.8 per cent over a five-year period to be fully funded. (The rate increases do not include inflation.) 3. Continue to allocate the federal gas tax revenue to roads and bridges.

4. Increase future infrastructure budgets by the annual inflation index. Dep. Mayor Frances Smith wondered at the time frame for that. “Why is the magic number at 10 years?” she said. “Why not 15 years? “Perhaps the Province should give us more money if they want it done in 10 years.” Mayor Janet Gutowski agreed, citing a systemic problem across the area. “The whole of Eastern Ontario has challenges and these come up at the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus,” Gutowski said. “These challenges are only likely to increase unless we can change the game. “We’ve been band-aiding things for far too long.” A complete version of the AMP is available at the Township Office in Sharbot Lake or online as an attachment to the Jan. 28 agenda package.

Central in the market for PWM as Richardson announces retirement Reporter

Gazette Column — Central Frontenac Township is the market for a new Public Works Manager, following the formal announcement at its regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake last week of Mike Richardson’s retirement effective in August of this year. “Mike turns 65 this year and is retiring in August,” said CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson. “We’d like to begin the recruitment process soon so we can have a bit of an overlap.”

••• And speaking of Township vehicles, CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson told Council that the Township’s insurance provider will provide replacement costs for the truck that slid into a ditch and rolled over in January. “The replacement cost is $210,000 but it will only cost us the deductible on our policy of $10,000,” he said. Donaldson said that with this replacement truck and another scheduled for replacement, the Township should be able to get a good deal and “perhaps be bumped up in the queue” by the dealers.

Richardson is the third PWM the Township has had since amalgamation and has had the job for just over five years. Under Richardson, the Township has undergone a 10-year plan to replace older vehicles on a regular basis, rather than as they break down or fall apart, with an eye towards long-term savings on maintenance costs as well as ensuring a working fleet at any one given time. Mayor Janet Gutowski said the plan was already working. “We are already starting to see savings in repairs, $20,000 this year, and less down-time for staff,” Gutowski said.

By Craig Bakay

However, Donaldson said he’d just learned that day (Jan. 28) that another Township vehicle (built in the 1990s) had been involved in an accident. “I understand it will be out of service a couple of weeks but we’ll know more for the next meeting,” he said. ••• Central Frontenac formalized its commitment to online and telephone voting for this fall’s municipal election but it hasn’t forgotten about its constituents who have neither a computer nor a touch-tone phone. Coun. Tom Dewey said he’d received

a call from a constituent that only has a rotary dial phone who wanted to know if they’d have to vote at a relative’s house. Donaldson said they plan to have some sort of service available but plans have yet to be firmed up. “Perhaps the libraries might be the place,” said Coun. Norm Guntensperger. “They’re all about information and have staff with the expertise to help people go online. “Besides, there shouldn’t be too many people needing this service.” “We don’t want to have to staff a lot of places,” said Dep. Mayor Frances Smith.

The Grand Illusionist By Mark Bergin Columnist

Harry Houdini, the first real ghostbuster, took great pleasure in debunking frauds of all sorts, from spiritualists — many of whom may have believed their own tactics — to outright hucksters. My favorite quote from Houdini: “My brain is the key that sets me free.” In other words, the man took a scientific approach to the unknown while also enjoying entertaining audiences with his illusions and escape skills. Born Ehrich Weisz in Budapest, Hungary in 1874, the family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin when Harry was eight. His father served as a Rabbi of the Zion Reform Jewish Congregation. Young Harry shined shoes to help the family finances. As a teen, he excelled in track and field, winning many medals in a New York athletic club. His athleticism and excellent physical conditioning, along with his petite stature helped him in his grueling escape routines. When he was nine, he made his first stage appearance in a trapeze act. He developed an interest in magic tricks and named himself after the great magician, Robert Houdin. By the age of 17 he had left his family and was living in New York City, pursuing his interest in magic and illusions. Three years later he was performing throughout New York in amusement parks, beer halls and in cabinets of curiosity (early museums). After skillfully escaping from handcuffs

in 1912, Houdini introduced his most famous escape act, the Chinese Water Torture Cell. In the act, he was suspended upsidedown in a glass container full of water. He had to hold his breath for more than three minutes in order to escape. Some people are said to have a metaphoric elephant in their living room. Not Harry Houdini. Hi most magnificent routine involved making an elephant disappear at the New York Hippodrome Theater. During the First World War, Houdini took a year off from his entertainment career to enlist for military service. In addition to promoting the war effort, he taught soldiers how to escape from handcuffs. Houdini played a strong role in establishing and maintaining the Society of American Magicians. He served as the president for ten years. In 1906, he began appearing in silent films. He was also a pioneer aviator and purchased and flew his own biplane. In the 1920s, his midlife passion involved the occult; debunking, not practising. His skills in illusions and magic performances helped him expose the many frauds profiting from things like seances. He revealed many of them in his book, A Magician Among the Spirits. He took great pleasure in discrediting those who used his own tricks to cheat people. Over his final two years, he incorporated his fraud exposure into his act. He billed his evening shows as “Three Shows in One: Magic, Escapes and Fraud Mediums Exposed.” Houdini demonstrated how photographs could be faked to produce images of “spirits”. He also launched a major effort to debunk psychics and mediums. He attended seances in disguise, accompanied by a police officer and a reporter. Unfortunately, his efforts cost him a good friendship. At a point in his life when Houdini was intensifying his debunking activities, his old friend, Arthur Conan Doyle was become more deeply involved in Spiritualism. Their disagreement resulted in the two becoming at odds publicly, effectively ending their friendship. One of Houdini’s final projects involved working with H. P. Lovecraft and C. M. Eddy, Jr. to produce a book about debunking all sorts of superstitious beliefs. The book was to be called The Cancer of Superstition. Unfortunately, Houdini died before completion of the project. Only a synopsis

Harry Houdini, illusionist and escape artist, took pride in debunking spiritualists and frauds who took advantage of the public.

and three chapters survive. In many modern movie representations of magicians, we are greeted by tall and slim actors like Hugh Jackman in the role. Harry Houdini, never fit that mold; he was small, about 5 ft, 5 inches, with sharp handsome features and an amiable presence. With his emphasis on debunking mystics and spiritualists, It’s somehow appropriate that Harry Houdinii died on Halloween in 1926. Houdini was famed for being able to withstand physical punches. Unfortunately, in 1926, Gordon Whitehead, a student at McGill University in Montreal decided to test the illusionist’s prowess prior to an evening performance in the Canadian city. But Houdini had a broken ankle and was resting in a reclined position when Whitehead punched him below the belt several times. He had no time to prepare for the punches. On stage that night, Houdini performed in great pain. When he finally saw a doctor in Detroit two days later, he was suffering from acute appendicitis. He declined immediate surgery, instead going on stage for his show in Detroit. He passed out at least once and was revived and continued the show. He was hospitalized that night and died a couple of days later of peritonitis resulting from a The Greater Kingston Jr. Frontenacs are currently accepting ruptured appendix. applications for coaches for the 2014-2015 hockey season.

and locked rooms, he added straitjackets and coffins to his routine. He would eventually develop a full production dedicated to magic and illusions. Through his shows, he met Wilhelmina Beatrice (Bess) Rahner, who was performing in New York’s Coney Island as part of an act called the Floral Sisters. After a whirlwind two-week courtship, they married. Bess worked with Houdini — singing, dancing and helping with Harry’s escape acts. For two years they travelled with a circus, where Harry perfected his escape routines. Harry Houdini invented the concept of the escape artist. After leaving the circus, they traveled across the USA and around the world. The couple worked together for 33 years and remained married until Harry’s death at the age of 52. Early in his escape artist career, Houdini offered a reward to anyone who could successfully restrain him. This became known as the Challenge Escape. No one collected the reward as Houdini managed to escape from handcuffs, jails, coffins, the water torture cell and even a milk can. No one could figure out the trick to his escapes. In 1899, Houdini was discovered by Martin Beck, Vaudeville’s most important booking agent. Houdini became the headline act at major theatres throughout the country. In 1900 he travelled to Europe where he headlined for five years. Houdini became the highest-paid performer on the Vaudeville circuit. Beck and Houdini remained loyal to each other throughout life.

In Our Opinion

For the future of work, look to the past

Woefully, there are some potentially disastrous items being left out of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal budgets Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; While no one really has a problem with townships and counties spending most of their tax dollars on roads, bridges and waste disposal, there are a lot of other items councils struggle over such as recreation, social and housing programs. After the garbage has been picked up and the potholes hot-patched, much of what councils do with your money is quite discretionary in nature. But should it be? One thing we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have any concept of is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what-happens-if-thewhole-shootinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-match-comes-crashingdown-before-our-very-eyes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yes, yes, some well-meaning but misinformed lake association executives seem to be overly paranoid about the lakes filling up with turds, all the while totally ignoring what in all likelihood is a more pressing, and potentially devastating eventuality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a disaster on an apocalyptic scale.

For example, has anyone thought about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all do if there was a zombie infestation in say, Odessa? Zombie infestations tend to spread at exponential rates, and before we know it, hordes of mindless devourers could be making their way up County Road 10 and Road 38, adding to their numbers as they lay waste to all in their path. Has any local council even thought of providing axes and/or katanas to its citizens in order to stem this potential tide? And how about the inevitable invasion from off-planet sources? While we can be pretty sure that we have little to fear from Mars, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preclude the host of Earth-like planets now being found throughout the galaxy that might be producing hostile forces that are only a faster-than-light ride away from invasion. And we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even begun to consider extra-dimensional invaders that could easily be mounting a massive strike through membranes using stringtheory-drive vehicles we can only hope to comprehend. The mountain of evidence being built suggesting that heretofore thought of as mythological beings actually existed (with extra-dimensional origins) is being totally ignored in favour of trail

beautification. We could be only one transdimensional rift away from being overwhelmed by a dragon apocalypse for all we know. Why are we not ready for this? And what if these invaders use our own resources against us? Our cats and dogs might just be our undoing if other species manage to control them better than we can. Remember, there are biblical prophesies that predict the animals talking to us as a prelude to Armageddon. As the survivors of the initial wave sit huddled in the ruins of a township hall trying to warm themselves from a fire of scrap wood burning in an old barrel, it will be too late to start planning. Of course, we never start thinking about zombies when the temperature dips into the minus-20s. After all, the zombie metabolic rate makes them much more susceptible to freezing than a normal human so why worry, right? But, the fact is, when summer comes, those flesh-rippers will be out and about, staggering and slumbering along until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added every last one of us to their ranks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the municipal politicians will have to pay for their short-sightedness.

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, February 6, 2014

Heritage Editorial - For over a generation now, parents have advised their children to steer clear of the skilled trades, or any profession, really, that requires any kind of manual labour. Instead, the mantra has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;go to university, get a degree or two, and turn your mind into your most capital assetâ&#x20AC;?. We were assured that this was the surest path to a middle class lifestyle and beyond. Fast-forward to today, and the bourgeoning ranks of under- and unemployed university graduates are actively competing for part-time retail or food service jobs, or even that great holy grail of a potential position in something close to their field of study â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the unpaid internship. Â A January 2013 Macleanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article came up with a catchy label for this oft-maligned group: â&#x20AC;&#x153;the new underclass.â&#x20AC;? At last count in 2006, one in four young workers with a university degree worked in a job where no degree was required; 1.2 million workers under 30 worked in part-time positions, wishing they could find something full-time. These numbers have doubtless increased dramatically in the last eight years; however, a dearth of information makes estimating the exact numbers difficult (see: Harper, 2011 census, cancellation of longform). For those looking for something other than the indentured servitude offered by the corporate elite, may we suggest to you a genuinely radical idea: get dirty. Work with your hands and create something out of the mud and ashes of your parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shattered dreams. With Burlington, ONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FutureBuilding2014, a three-day hands-on construction career exhibition to help young people, teachers and educators, The Ontario Construction Secretariat (OCS) is hoping to convert a substantial number of youth to this worldview. They argue that the next two decades will see a severe shortage of skilled workers in Ontario, with aging baby boomers no longer able to press on in their chosen trades. They estimate that the shortage could reach 100,000 workers in the next five years. There will be no shortage of projects coming on line in the next little while, either. Opportunities range from the expansion of the TTC, mining projects in north, infrastructure projects linked with the 2015 Pan Am games, and an increased investment in renewable energy projectsÂ everywhere. The Burlington event takes place April 8-10, and while it may not be possible for many of us in the Kingston/Frontenac area to attend, we hope that local youth and their parents will be inspired by this â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? perspective.

worry about soft-hearted liberal judges or courts. The bad guys in Pendergast’s career never live long enough to make it to trial. Finally, justice. I suspect that police officers will like Pendergast, as well as his sidekick for this journey, Corrie Swanson, befriended by the FBI agent in previous novels. She’s given up her outward Goth appearance and is now attending university working toward a degree in law. One problem: she’s a wee bit impulsive and doesn’t always see the danger she is approaching. The facial piercings are gone, but her feisty attitude and impetuousness aren’t. Pendergast is brilliant, a genius, yet there’s something sadly formal about him. In an Old Southern manner (he hails from Louisiana), he keeps feelings to himself. But the reader can’t help but like him, despite his aloofness. He cares enough about Corrie to save her life (and bail her out) on more than one occasion. When these authors gave birth to Special Agent Pendergast, they Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s latest thriller, created the most interesting crimeWhite Fire, takes the reader on an adrenalin-filled fighting character since Sherlock Holmes, and, in my opinion, trek that links Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s world of the they’ve outdone Holmes.

Canadian Comedian is ‘almost a movie star’ By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Events – Brent Butt is almost a movie star, or at least that is the name of his new comedy tour. Many may recognize Butt from his years on the Canadian sitcom Corner Gas. Now, Butt is tackling new territory with his upcoming film ‘No Clue’, and to promote this project he is hitting the streets. “Right from the get go, one of the things I talked about when I pitched the movie idea was the fact that because I am a live performer I can go on the road to promote a movie the same way a band goes on the road to promote an album,” explained Butt. “It is basically a support tour. You go on the road and you do your thing, like my live stand-up show, and it helps raise awareness for the movie.” Butt hasn’t been on an extended comedy tour for a number of years, but he is excited to get back out there and to travel across Canada in the process. “I haven’t done a tour this long since well before Corner Gas days and for me it is a lot of fun. It’s like a throwback to another time. Comedy tours are how I used to spend my time, I used to live on the road and it is fun to do that again.” While it may be all fun and games, Butt is still on the road to promote his upcoming movie, a

project that was a bit intimidating for him at first, but he couldn’t be happier with the end result. “The movie is called No Clue. It’s a murder mystery thriller and it is comedic but I didn’t want to make a zany, wacky bumbling comedy,” explained Butt. “I wanted it to be legitimately dark and gritty because I am a real fan of detective movies and murder mysteries and I wanted to make a movie that was really true to that genre but also happened to be funny because the main character says funny things. The movie is very realistic and really gritty and I wasn’t sure that it would work but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and came together.” The movie screened at the Whistler International Film Festival last year and Butt was unsure of how the audience would respond to it, but his worries were all for nothing and after the screening Butt felt a huge relief. “The film festival was the first time I was able to sit in a room with other people and watch the film and the response was more than we ever could have hoped for. It was perfect. There were lots of laughs but the tense and heavy moments were really great too. People were really drawn in and it worked.” Butt is hoping for the same effect on his comedy tour, although he admits that he doesn’t really have a plan for each night. His main focus is on the audience

members and their responses to him and his material. “I never really have a theme for my act and the thing that I love about doing stand-up and the thing that makes it fresh and exciting every time, even after 26 years is the fact that every show really is different. Any time that you get a group of people together they all combine to create a new animal and this animal is different than any other animal. You don’t know what it likes and you don’t know what it doesn’t like and you have to go out there and figure that out through performing and how the audience reacts. It keeps you very present and very in the moment and very connected to the crowd. That is why I love doing it.” Butt is performing at the Grand Theatre on Feb. 14 and he hopes to show some love to Kingston for Valentine’s Day. “I am nothing if not a cherubic little angel and I will be shooting arrows of comedy at the people of Kingston that night. I’m looking forward to being there and sharing the love.” For more information on Brent Butt’s upcoming show in Kingston go to www.kingstongrand.ca and to view the trailer for ‘No Clue’ visit www.brentbutt.com

Guide

Beloved children’s author discusses The Snail & the Whale and theatrical adaptations of her books hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette Events - Seeing her books adapted for the stage is nothing new for British children’s author Julia Donaldson. Last year, the company Tall Stories produced a travelling show based on her famous book The Gruffalo, which proved to be a huge hit here in Kingston with its sold-out performance at the Grand Theatre. This February, Tall Stories will return to The Grand to present an adaptation of another of Donaldson’s books: The Snail & the Whale. The story tells of a tiny snail who longs to see the world, so he hitches a ride on the tail of a humpback whale in an attempt to make this dream come true. The Kingston Heritage caught up with Donaldson over the phone when she recently visited Toronto for Totsapalooza, a day-long event that celebrated her work. “I suppose I’ve always been interested in scales and scale differences,” Donaldson said of what inspired her to write The Snail & the Whale. “When I was a child one of my favourite books was The Borrowers. It’s a book about little people

who live under floorboards and for them a postage stamp is like a portrait on the wall or a chess piece is a statue. And I suppose I also like the sort of fables where even the very small creature can be of help, and in this story the snail actually saves the life of the whale.” Donaldson describes The Snail and the Whale as perhaps the most poetic book she has written. “It’s got a bit more of a visceral quality. I think the sound of the words and the beautiful pictures by Axel Scheffler [fit together nicely]. He loves drawing nature and is very keen on animals, and the story takes place all over the world. The two animals travel the seas to different lands with icebergs and volcanoes and so the pictures are very stunning.” The Tall Stories production, she notes, is also both very musical and visually appealing. The original tale from the book is framed by the story of a little girl and her dad, who is a sailor. The girl’s favourite book is The Snail and the Whale, and her father will often read it to her over the phone when he is away at sea. The idea for the framing story was inspired by the Storybook Soldiers project, which enables

I want the story of the snail and the whale to be the main part.

Cream and green 1951 Mercury coupe a show-stopper! al wide whitewall tires. Otherwise, the car is completely original, right down to the 255 cubic inch flathead V8 under the hood, which has no trouble keeping up with modern traffic. The odometer showed about 40,000 miles when Bernie bought the car, and it is now up to around 50,000. He has driven the car twice

Gazette Lifestyle – Sometimes it’s the colour of a car that makes it stand out at a car show, and this is certainly true of the 1951 Mercury coupe owned for the past 20 years by Bernie MacKinnon of Kitchener, Ontario. On Saturday, Aug. 10 last year, Catherine and I were walking around at the big Bothwell Car Show hosted by Old Autos newspaper when she spotted Bernie’s Mercury from three rows away and said: “Look at that cream and green car way over there. We have to go and take a look!” It turned out to be a 1951 Mercury coupe. Bernie freshened up the finish about 20 years ago, and these are the same colours that adorned the car when it rolled off the assembly line 62 years ago. Bernie was born in 1942 and grew up in the Maritimes and Mississauga before moving to Kitchener. Now retired from driving a transport truck, he has time to spend on his hobbies, including vintage cars and playing hockey three times a week.

He calls himself a “Renaissance” man because he is interested in everything, including old cars. He has bought and sold some collector cars over the years but his 1951 Mercury is a “keeper.” His 12-year-old grandson Adam is glad Grandpa is keeping it because he looks forward to having it some day. The car was stored for some 29 years in North Dakota before coming to Ontario and had been liberally treated to a ‘50s-style asphalt undercoating which kept the body factory fresh. The interior had suffered some deterioration over the years and has now been completely redone by Bernie’s friend of fifty years, Harold “Butch” Smith of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. The result is immaculate. The car has some popular accessories, including an outside sun visor, spotlights, locking gas cap cover, fender skirts, windshield washers, and a radio with a rear seat speaker. The only modification the car has received is a new set of radi-

across Canada for A&W and loves driving it to car shows and cruise nights. In July 2013, he participated in the annual “Cruising on King Street” in Kitchener to the absolute delight of 60,000 spectators. After he parked his car, he was interviewed by Rogers TV. His car is becoming a celebrity! I’m always looking for more sto-

Up in my grill

My Funny Valentine Columnist

“Valentines Day is for girls,” said my daughter. When asked why she would suggest that, she claimed, “The boy doesn’t really care. It’s just another day.” I was aghast; however, who could blame her? She has two parents who are rarely in the same city, let alone the same country, on Valentine’s Day. The day passes with heartfelt phone calls, a card and occasionally flowers. I am big on cards. Maybe it’s the writer in me, but to me what’s written inside is bigger than any old gift. I told her that both people in a relationship both deserve to feel loved, not just on Valentine’s Day, but all year long. Her father and I are good to each other every day. All of this talk of love reminded me of an encounter I had while on a recent visit to a café in Picton. I stumbled upon the Regent Café a few years back and I try and stop whenever I’m in the area. Hubby and I have taken the dog in the summer to sit on the patio and watch passersby. Located at 222 Main Street West, the café sits next to the historic Regent Theatre. This sweet little stop opened in 2001, adding to the fabric of the downtown main street. It’s open for breakfast and lunch, and offers up good food made with local ingredients such as breakfast burritos, eggs benedict, fruit and yogurt, fresh baked muffins, warm bowls of soup, salads, sandwiches and pizza. The atmosphere is charming

with its local artwork, white walls and quaint little tables offering guests a chance to relax and chat. On this particular day, I ventured in on my own for a steaming latte and chocolate croissant. Warmly greeted by owners David Wheately and Megan Van Horne, I found a spot where I could fire up the laptop and settle in to do some work. Shortly after my arrival, a nicely dressed, distinguished gentleman strolled in. With a broad smile, a newspaper and book tucked neatly under his arm, he asked to use the café phone. Perhaps he was a regular, as owner David Wheatley did not hesitate to hand it over. I was intrigued by the man’s question, given that pretty much all of us carry cell phones these days, so I leaned in to learn more. He explained his wish was to call his sweetheart and invite her for lunch. He had just been to the shops, and wanted to have her meet him there, at a cozy table for two. I sat appearing as if I was not prying in on their conversation, but a smile escaped as I secretly was in awe of the gesture. While my husband texts me daily with cute messages, I couldn’t recall him calling and asking me to meet him for lunch in some time. The owner was friendly as the gentleman told the story of how the two had met. He spoke of meeting her through his friend, who was her brother, and how she looked that first day. His grin was wide and his eyes danced as he spoke of her initial refusals and inevitable acceptance. I still recall the feeling of wonder and pleasure this man’s love

Sauerkraut was a specialty of Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Lifestyle - As far as Father was concerned, he was the only one who knew how to properly cook sauerkraut. He said (getting a dig in at Mother about her heritage which was far removed from his German ancestry) you had to have good German blood running in your veins to turn out edible sauerkraut. I had no idea what blood had to do with it, but I had to admit I liked Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sauerkraut better than Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It all came from the same barrel, but whatever Father did to it, we all ate it with great gusto. That is, all except my cousin Ronny who visited regularly from Montreal. He hated sauerkraut regardless who cooked it, and he took to hiding it all through the house, even prying off a bedroom baseboard one time to stash it away. But for the rest of us, when Father worked his magic at the Findlay Oval, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a scrap left over for another meal! After the barrel of shredded cabbage had been allowed to sit in the hot kitchen until it was well fermented, the barrel was rolled out to the summer kitchen where the innards formed into a solid mass of ice. For reasons which always escaped

the back of the stove, on top of the reservoir, and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;alright, bring your platesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d line up at the stove while father dished out his special dish. There would be more butter on the table, right beside the spoon holder, and of course, we would scoop up a goodly portion and plop it on top of the sauerkraut, and watch it melt into Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful main dinner course. Of course, there would also have to be meat for this meal. No supper was ever complete without meat. Often it would be salt pork simmering on the back of the stove in another big fry pan, or Mother would have a cookie sheet of homemade sausages baking in the oven with sliced apples around them. Father said the apples spoiled the taste of a good sausage. But Mother said if he was going to make German sauerkraut, then she would serve apples with the sausages, since that was a French custom she learned from her own mother. And so the two nationalities would come together at the Findlay Oval. Even though Mother often tried to duplicate Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of frying the sauerkraut, it never quite tasted the same. Before Mother moved to the backwoods of Renfrew County to marry a

farmer of German heritage, she knew Interested in an electronic version little of the foods Father was used to. It of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books? Go to https://www. didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take her long to learn how to stuff smashwords.com and type Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name ground pork into well-washed skins, get for e-book purchase details, or if you roasts ready for the smoke house, do would like a hard copy, please contact down a barrel of dill pickles with big Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca. cloves of garlic, and help get the cabbage ready for the sauerkraut barrel. It took her much longer to get used to making headcheese, and blood pudding. I would be as far away from the kitchen as I could get while both were being made, because watching the pork head, and the pan of blood being prepared, turned my stomach inside out. I drew the line over both, Centre and often would 2800 Hwy 38 Unit #3, Glenvale Industrial Park settle for a hardboiled egg instead, www.jandjautomotive.ca while the rest of the family ate up both with gusto.

me, I was the one who had to go out with the granite basin and an ice pick and hack away until I had enough for a meal. When Father was doing the cooking, I stacked the basin high, knowing full well it would take a heap to fill the big iron fry pan he would be using. It was bitterly cold in the summer kitchen, so I dressed for the elements, wearing mitts to hold the chisel or ice pick to chip the frozen sauerkraut, bringing it in to Father just before he was ready to pop it into the fry pan. First he would have fried (in bacon fat, of course) a heaping mound of onions, well laced with black pepper. I would stand well away from the stove as Father, with his bare hands would scoop up the sauerkraut, slap it into the sizzling pan, as I waited for the whole thing to explode into flames. Of course, it never did, but the hissing was enough to give me concern. All the time, he would be plugging more wood into the Findlay Oval to keep the stove roaring hot. Once the frozen sauerkraut melted, he would stir the pan with the big wooden spoon, mixing in the fried onions. Father never left the stove, stirring all the time, until the liquid in the pan was gone. Then he would scoop up heaping tablespoons of butter and plop that on top of the sauerkraut. It too would have to be worked in, until all that was left were the fried onions and sauerkraut which by then had turned a golden brown. He would shift the big iron fry pan to

Latest Frankenstein remake will make for great late-night TV Mark Haskins My Take

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

MOVIE: I, Frankenstein STARRING: Aaron Eckhart, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Jay Courtney and Bill Nighy DIRECTOR: Stuart Beattie RATING: PG Gazette Arts – It’s January, it’s cold and Hollywood is re-doing Frankenstein. Again. I love a good gothic fantasy. I just wish I, Frankenstein had been a good gothic fantasy. For thousands of years a secret

war has raged on Earth between demons led by the demon prince Naberius (Bill Nighy), and The Order of Gargoyles brought into existence by the Archangel Michael, and led by Lenore (Miranda Otto). Though he wants no part of it Dr. Frankenstein’s creation is pulled into this war. Lenore named the creature Adam (Aaron Eckhart), and allowed him to go his own way. Filled with rage Adam sought solitude away from man, gargoyle, and demon, yet Naberius hunted him. Two hundred years later Adam is done with running and has begun to turn the tables. He has come back to face Naberius, and put an end to him once and for all.

Naberius of course has other plans. Under the human guise of businessman Charles Wessex, and with the unwitting aide of a human scientist, Terra (Yvonne Strahovski), Naberius has re-created Dr. Frankenstein’s work. All he needs to complete his plan, and create an army of monsters, is the original monster. Adam is once again pulled into this war between good and evil. As both sides seek to destroy him Adam begins to understand his true purpose. He must choose a side, and in doing so decide the fate of all mankind. Every once in a while I like to stay up late and watch whatever fantasy or sci-fi ‘B’ movie I can find. If I,

Frankenstein had been that movie it would have been awesome. It’s the perfect late-night mindless fun you want to find when there’s nothing else on. In other words it’s not the kind of film anyone should ever pay good money to see. The visuals are amazing and the action is great, but the dialogue is dull and the characters are superficial. It’s a cool idea, but there’s no depth to the story. Beattie is attempting to create a whole mythology, and instead of developing it properly he rushes it to get to the action. The cast for all its talent is pretty unremarkable. Bill Nighy is playing the same supernatural villain he always plays, and even he seems bored

with it. Miranda Otto would be ideal to play Lenore, but decides to phone it in. Jay Courtney offers some intensity as the gargoyle Gideon, but that’s all he has. Even Yvonne Strahovski is just re-hashing your typical stock character. Then there’s Aaron Eckhart, who is by far the prettiest Frankenstein’s monster I have ever seen. He proves he’s not a bad action hero, but his emotional range only travels from angry up to very angry. I Frankenstein may not be much of a box office hit, but I’m sure many of you will enjoy it in about six months when it’s on late night TV. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a longlingering work project is a viable option. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

How T o G et T he B est Deals On Wedding Service from the venue liked best, as that venue won’t want to lose business, especially to one of its chief competitors. In addition to pricing, estimates from other venues can vary based on what they include. Even if a favorite venue does not come down much on its original quote, they may be willing to add extra services, such as an open bar or an extra hour during the reception, free of charge to match a competitor’s offer. But they cannot match such offers if couples don’t first do their homework and solicit estimates from their competitors. • Avoid making demands. Coming off as too demanding when negotiating prices with wedding vendors may not produce the results couples are hoping for. Much like couples don’t want to receive “take it or leave it” offers, vendors don’t want to be given demands they have to meet in order to book a wedding. The right tone can go a long way with wedding vendors, who are typically more willing to work with couples who treat them nicely than couples who enter the negotiation process full of demands. Vendors often like it when couples know what they want, but couples are not doing themselves any favors when they express those desires as demands. • Don’t be afraid to ask for more. Making demands and asking for more are not the same thing. When negotiating with

wedding vendors, there’s no harm in asking for more. For example, the worst a deejay can do when asked to play an extra hour at no additional charge is deny that request. Reception venues often have the most wiggle room, so don’t be afraid to ask for free coffee with dessert or valet parking. Vendors are often open to suggestion and willing to honor requests, but it’s not their responsibility to make such offers. • Make sure all contracts are itemized, and read them thoroughly before signing on the dotted line. The negotiation process is often tedious, and contracts should reflect that. When hiring a wedding vendor, make sure the contract is itemized, spelling out in intimate detail just what was negotiated and how much each item costs. Couples may even notice items in the contract that can be removed, saving them a few dollars as a result. Be especially mindful of extra fees that can add up. For example, some venues try to make up for lower rates couples negotiated by tacking on fees for cutting the cake or other minute details. These fees will be in the contract, and it’s up to couples to have them removed before they sign and the contract becomes official. • Remember there are two parties involved in the negotiation process. Ven-

dors are not the only ones who might need to bend a little at the negotiating table. Couples might have to be flexible in order to make their dream weddings a reality. Some vendors charge considerably less during certain times of the year than they do during peak wedding season. If couples are finding it impossible to afford the wedding of their dreams during peak wedding season, they should consider tying the knot during a less popular time of year, when venues and vendors can offer

them more competitive rates. Brides- and grooms-to-be cannot expect vendors to bend over backward for couples who aren’t willing to make any concessions themselves, so couples might have to make certain sacrifices at the negotiating table when planning their weddings. Negotiation plays a significant role in wedding planning. Couples who take the process of negotiation seriously often find the best deals without having to make too many concessions.

any engaged couples have grandiose visions of their wedding days. While such visions typically come to fruition, they often do so only after heavy negotiations with the various vendors necessary to turn a dream wedding into a reality. Negotiating prices with wedding vendors is something brides- and grooms-tobe may not anticipate, but the process of negotiation is paramount for couples who hope to plan their dream weddings without ruining their budgets. Though vendors vary considerably with regard to their willingness to negotiate, the following are a few tips for couples hoping to get the best deals possible on their wedding services. • Prepare, prepare, prepare. Couples who blindly enter negotiations with wedding venues and vendors are far less likely to get a good deal. When working with any wedding vendor, whether it’s a wedding venue representative, a local florist or a deejay, couples should know what the going rate for the vendor’s services are. Couples who find a venue they like should receive quotes from similar venues before negotiating a rate with the venue they most prefer. Arming oneself with quotes from competitors increases the chances of receiving a more couple-friendly quote

Choose A Wedding Date Wisely

S eason

When thinking about potential wedding dates, it helps to have a place to start. Some couples find it helpful to start with a particular season and then narrow it down from there. Decide if you prefer the lush greenery of summer or the amazing color spectrum of an autumn afternoon. Perhaps you envision arriving at the ceremony with a snowpacked landscape amid twinkling holiday lights? Think about the season when you feel most happy and then determine if that time of year is doable.

tic sentiments synonymous with the holiday, while some couples prefer Halloween or Christmas weddings. Holiday weddings can be exciting, but they also produce significant obstacles that couples who choose to get married during other times of year donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about. Guests may not want to travel or spend time away from their families to attend a holiday wedding. Having a wedding during a holiday may mean competing for vendors and reception spaces. Prices on everything from food to flowers to airline tickets could be higher as vendors cash in on customer demand.

D ay

of the week

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less expensive for couples to get married on Fridays and Sundays than Saturday afternoons or evenings. Couples may think that the money saved will be well worth it, but they also should think about how this decision may affect their guests. A Friday wedding requires people to take off from work or school. Sunday weddings may be slightly more convenient, but those who have to get back to work on Monday may be tired from latenight festivities. Couples should anticipate some guests not making it to their weddings when those weddings are not on Saturdays.

Your wedding date may be dictated by your caterer or wedding hall. If you have a particular venue in mind, you may be limited by their availability. This is a concession you will need to make if your heart is set on this particular location. Planning a wedding can be exciting. But the ball cannot get rolling until couples first choose the day they will tie the knot.

Certain months may seem perfect, but not for busy professionals or those with limited vacation time at their disposal. For example, early spring may not be good for accountants tallying year-end numbers. Teachers may feel most comfortable tying the knot in the summer when they already have days off. If you run a pool business or a lawn maintenance company, then the summer might not be so good. Keep these factors in mind.

any couples find themselves bombarded with questions the moment they become engaged, and perhaps no questions is more common than, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When is the wedding?â&#x20AC;? Although a number of couples would prefer to bask in the excitement of their engagement, some couples feel pressured to rush into picking a wedding date. Choosing a wedding date without giving it much consideration may make things more difficult down the road. Rather than jumping head first into any decisions, couples should give thought to any and all dates and decide if there are certain times of the year they want to tie the knot or avoid.

Tuxedo Purchasing Pointers

desire something that fits your personality and your physique perfectly, buying your own tuxedo may be your best bet. Men worried about purchasing a tuxedo only to see their waistlines increase or decrease should keep in mind that many tuxedo shops offer free tailoring for as long as you own the tuxedo. When purchasing a tuxedo, men should choose classic styles and colors so they can enjoy the tux for years to come. Opt for a slim-fitting white shirt underneath that won’t billow out when jackets are removed. Men who want to break from tradition can opt for a shirt that is a pale blue or light gray to wear under the jacket. This is still an understated look, but one with a hint of creativity. A classic, black bow tie is an ideal match when purchasing a more classic tuxedo. The bow tie is back in a big way, and men who want to spice things up can purchase more traditional neckties for those occasions when they don’t want to wear bow ties. Tuxedos come with different lapel styles, and it’s important to know the differences. Today’s most popular style is the notch lapel, wherein a triangular indentation is cut where the lapel joins the collar. This lapel mimics the shape of a classic suit. A peak lapel is the quintessential classic, featuring a broad, V-shaped lapel that points up and out just below the collar line. A shawl lapel is a smooth, rounded edge lapel. The shawl lapel reached the height of its popularity in the 1950s, but it can still look good today.

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR YOUR

WEDDING!

wedding cake is the piece de resistance of the wedding ceremony. Guests anxiously await the unveiling of the cake near the end of the festivities. Modern cakes are showpieces grander in scale than in years past. As bakers and confectioners hone their skills with fondant, buttercream and gum paste even further, the results are often impressive, aweinspiring cake designs. While the look of a wedding cake is certainly important, cakes should not only look good, but taste good as well. Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting was once the gold standard. But today’s couples are being more adventurous with their wedding cakes and winning rave reviews from guests along the way. The vast scope of wedding cake flavor choices available to brides and grooms is astonishing. Options may range from the traditional to something adventurous and daring. Keeping in mind that couples will need to please the masses, finding a compromise between plain vanilla and a mocha-chile-coconut surprise is essential. Otherwise, they risk an unpopular flavor and a lot of wasted, expensive cake. Some couples shy away from more adventurous cakes because they fear something chocolately or not white in color will not be well suited to a wedding reception. Such couples should keep in mind that any flavor of cake can be hidden beneath layers of pearly white fondant or royal icing. Therefore, the sky is the limit with regard to flavor combinations. Those who might want to veer from tradition can consider these clever cake combinations. • Lemon cake with vanilla buttercream: Lemons are tart, juicy and refreshing, helping to cleanse the palate after a rich meal. Lemon cake, with its summery feel, is tailor-made for summer weddings. The flavor is popular enough to appeal to many, but just a little different to add an unexpected zip of flavor. • Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and mocha filling: True chocoholics will be hard-pressed to resist such a decadent flavor profile. Chocolate can

be sweet and satisfying and a welcome change from the vanilla cakes commonly served. For traditionalists, the cake can be covered with a white chocolate ganache. Or couples can ask that the cake be adorned with white sugar roses for an eye-appealing contrast. Chocolate cakes covered with autumn hued flowers go over well at fall weddings. • Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting: Red velvet cake was once a regionally specific staple, but now has grown steadily in popularity across the country. Red velvet has quickly become the new classic, as its vibrant red coloring offers a shock of something different, while the flavor is mild for those who are not comfortable taking risks. The richness and creaminess of cream cheese is irresistible. • White cake with chocolate mousse: Couples who want a bit of chocolate but do not want to be overwhelmed can select a white cake that is filled with light and rich chocolate mousse. It’s the perfect blend of vanilla and chocolate for guests who enjoy both. • Variety tiers: Those who cannot settle on just one flavor can have different flavors on each tier of their cakes. This gives guests some flavorful variety and enables them to pick their favorite flavor combination. Brides- and grooms-to-be who have specific flavors in mind can ask their bakers to include two cupcakes with the wedding cake. Then the couple can enjoy their own mini cakes while the rest of the guests enjoy a more classic cake. In addition, an assortment of cupcakes in lieu of one cake can give guests the opportunity to sample several different flavors. Cakes are a part of many special events, but few cakes are fawned over as much as wedding cakes. Couples can spice things up by choosing a nontraditional flavor combination.

entlemen getting ready to tie the knot will have to make certain wardrobe choices so they look their best on their big day. Although many grooms-to-be rent tuxedos on their wedding day, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a tuxedo. Tuxedos are the ultimate formal wear for men. Worn at formal gatherings like proms, weddings and lavish parties, tuxedos have undergone several style changes over the years. Men interested in looking polished will find no option makes that impression more convincingly than the right tuxedo. Men frequently called upon to attend formal events may find purchasing a tuxedo is a wise investment. There are several advantages to owning a tux rather than renting one time and again. Tuxedos typically cost around $1,000, whereas renting tuxedos can be $200 or more each time, making it advantageous for men who frequently don tuxedos to purchase their own rather than rent. Another advantage to owning a tuxedo is the opportunity to wear a tux that is custom-made and tailored just for you. Instead of a rental that will merely be stitched temporarily to fit your measurements, a tuxedo you purchase will be tailored specifically to your body, increasing comfort and making you look better as well. Men who buy their own tuxedos also can choose the style, fabric, color, buttons, accessories, and type of lapels on the jacket. A tuxedo store may have more styles available for sale than for rent.

Wedding Invitations T ip Sheet wedding. Will you be hosting a black tie affair, or will it be a casual gathering at the shore? Guests infer many things about the wedding from the invitations, which should match the formality of the event in style and the sentiments expressed. An ornate invitation written with classic wording suggests a more formal affair, while a whimsical invitation with less formal wording could indicate a more laid-back event. â&#x20AC;˘ Dare to be different by playing with invitation sizes and shapes. Rectangular cards are standard for wedding invitations, but you can explore your creativity by choosing more modern, artsy invitations. Circular invites or scalloped edges can add some whimsy to the wedding mood. Invitations that fold out or are embellished with ribbon or other decorations can be appealing. Just keep in mind that cards that are not the standard shape and size could be more costly to send. Always have the entire wedding invitation weighed and priced at the post office so you will know what the postage will cost. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose a legible font and text color. Your invitation may look beautiful, but it may prove ineffective if it is difficult to read. Do not risk guests misinterpreting the date or the location

because they cannot read the writing on the invitation. Steer clear of pastel or yellow text colors, and remember to have a high contrast between the color of the invitation and the text you are using for easy reading. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep the invitation simple. It may be tempting to load the invitation with lots of information, but all you really need are the key pieces of information, such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;who,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;what,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;where,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;when.â&#x20AC;? Crowding the card will take away from its aesthetic appeal. Most stationers will suggest a separate, smaller insert in the wedding invitation for the reception information and response card. Never put information such as where you are registered or â&#x20AC;&#x153;no kids allowed.â&#x20AC;? This is material

better reserved for word of mouth or on a wedding Web site. â&#x20AC;˘ Do some math. It is important to know your dates so you can receive the invitations on time, mail them out, and give guests enough time to respond. A good rule of thumb is to mail out the invitations at least two months before the wedding. Have an RSVP date of no more than three to four weeks before the wedding, giving ample time to the caterers and accommodating anyone who procrastinates in sending in a response. You will need the final headcount in order to confirm seating arrangements and plan for centerpieces and favors. â&#x20AC;˘ Handwrite the envelopes. Your invitation will look more impressive

if you address them by hand, rather than printing them off of a computer. If your handwriting is not very neat, consider hiring a professional calligrapher to write out your envelopes. â&#x20AC;˘ Make it easy for guests to respond. Be sure to place a stamp on the response card envelope and have that envelope already addressed with your home address so that guests will have no excuses not to mail a response back promptly. â&#x20AC;˘ Always order extra. Mistakes happen, and you may need to send out a few extra invitations that you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t originally counted. Always order extra invitations just to be on the safe side. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget you will probably want to keep one as a keepsake for yourself.

edding invitations often provide guests with a first glimpse of a weddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style. Invitations also may serve as the means by which distant friends and relatives find out about a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pending nuptials if a formal announcement was not made. Amid the flourishes of calligraphy and impressive paper stock is information that speaks to the importance of the day when two people will be joining their lives together. Guests will learn not only the time and the place of the wedding from the invitation, but also the formality of the event and the scope of the party that will follow. Couples should keep certain things in mind as they begin to design their wedding invitations. â&#x20AC;˘ Have a good idea of your potential guest list. Before shopping for wedding invitations, it is key to have a strong idea of just how big the wedding will be and how many guests will be invited. This way you will know how many invitations you will need. Invitations vary in price, so cost may be a consideration if your guest list is extensive. â&#x20AC;˘ Decide on the formality of the
