Lots of snow and broken trucks a “problem� in Central this winter

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Seeing Pink Pg. 18

EMC News — Anybody want to wager that Central Frontenac Public Works Manager Mike Richardson can hardly wait until his retirement kicks in this August?

Richardson was at Council’s regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake addressing what he referred to as “fleet problems� which are being exacerbated by the amount of snow we’ve had this winter. “One vehicle was written off but the insurance company told us to go ahead and replace it,� Richardson said. “Also Council approved the replacement of another and the request for proposal on

those is due back Feb. 27.�

And just when he thought the Township could work around those losses and handle the snow, another vehicle went down. “Truck number 21 is in Kemptville getting an estimate for repairs,� he said. “Although the damage crippled the truck (bent frame when the plow hit a steel guard rail post), they think they can fix it but they’ll have to let us know when it’ll be available.�

So, three players are out of the game while a number of minor injuries keep piling up. “We’ve had some minor breakdowns, which is normal, but we’ve had to add two contractors and are using a grader on one of the routes to keep up,� he

said.

And all this while trying to spruce up Sharbot Lake and Arden for the Frontenac Heritage Festival. “We’ve done a fair amount of cleanup outside of Sharbot Lake for the Festival and we’ve had some comments but nobody’s been too upset, just some minor annoyances,� he said. “And we’ve arranged to have piles of snow delivered to Railway Park for the snow sculpture contest.� “There might be challenges for parking on Fall River Road this weekend (at Peter Bell’s restored log farmhouse for the Festival),� said Mayor Janet Gutowski.

Dep. Mayor Frances Smith wondered about the build up at the intersection of

Hwy 7 and Road 38. “That’s the Ministry of Transportation’s responsibility and I have called them after I got some calls on it,� Richardson said.

Coun. Tom Dewey wondered if equipping trucks with GPS devices might have an impact. “I thought we had one on Kyle’s (Labbett, public works coordinator) truck,� Dewey said. “No, do you feel the need to keep track of him?� Richardson joked. “I never felt the cost of GPS for the trucks was worth it. “I can get the guys on the radio if I need to and besides, if the guys are in the coffee shop, everybody knows it anyways.�

SFCSC tax program continues to help seniors and lower income families

Gazette News- As tax season approaches, many of us will scramble to get all of our receipts and documents to an accountant for proper filing, but what if you can’t afford an accountant?

This is where Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation (SFCSC) comes in. For the past 10 years, SFCSC and a few very generous volunteers have been working to provide a free tax filing service to seniors and lower income families in the area. “It is a program that is geared towards the working poor and seniors with very low income,� explained David Townsend, Executive Director of SFCSC. “Instead of paying someone, which most of these people can’t afford to do, they can come in and have their income tax done properly by a volunteer and all we ask for is a donation, if you are able. This process helps them file properly and enables them to get the return that they deserve.�

Edna Malderis is one of the two volunteers that helps with the program each year. Malderis was a bookkeeper for a CEO at an engineering firm and after getting sick and being unable to continue working, she wanted to do

something useful with her skills and help the community. “Over the years we have seen a wide range of people come through,� explained Malderis. “I am the go to lady at this point for some organizations in the community. People know that I have been doing this for so long so if they have clients that need help they send them my way. It has increased over the years. Last year was our best year and we did 202 clients in the two months. When we started we saw maybe 50 or 60 clients a year, but we are happy to see the growth.�

For Malderis, the service is all about educating people and helping them get the best possible return. She serves clients who are as young as 16 and she loves teaching people about filing properly. Many don’t even know about all the items they can claim. “I love helping these people out and making sure that they are getting what they should be getting in their return.

I’ve taught a lot of people about their medications that they can claim travel allowances. We want to do it right and we want to get them everything we can back from the government, legally of course. It is all about the client, not about the government. We want to help people as much as we can.�

Malderis works with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on setting everything up each November for the following year and both Malderis and her partner work hard to maintain a level of professionalism and legality. She reminds people that before coming to an appointment they need to bring the proper documentation Gazette Events – Canadian country music star Dean Brody brought his and urges people to keep all of these documents in a file each year as you Crop Circles and Tractor Beams tour to his Kingston fans at the Rogers K-Rock Centre on Feb. 8.

Central looking at two land-swap deals in Kennebec District

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News – Central Frontenac Township is considering two land-swap proposals that, if successful, could lead to the widening/ straightening of Veley Road in Kennebec District.

In her report to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake, Dep. Clerk/Planning Coordinator Cathy McMunn told Council that in both cases the property owners would like to stop up and close road allowances and were amenable to land swaps.

“On the Tellier property, the terrain is quite hilly and rocky with some swamp so it’s unlikely we’re ever going to want to put a road in there,� McMunn said. “We got an estimate from the real estate company that put the value of the property at $22,968 but Mike (Public Works Manager Richardson) and I went to have a look and thought that price was kinda steep. “So, a land for land deal would be better for widening the road and taking out corners.�

Instead of the 1.8 acres in the middle of the property, the Township would get a four-metre wide

strip of land long Veley Road.

Coun. John Purdon, however, had concerns. “Quite obviously, the amount of land we’d be getting along Veley Road is less (land) than the road allowance,� he said. “We would be trading a 66-foot wide strip (22.12 metres) for a four-metre wide strip. “Getting the numbers to balance might be a bit of a challenge and perhaps a 10-foot wide strip would be better.�

Richardson acknowledged Purdon’s concerns but said the fourmetre strip was on the “high side� of the road and going in any further

wouldn’t be very useful. “It’s very rocky and the fourmetres wouldn’t be consistent but I don’t feel going in any further would be valuable to us,� he said. “For example, if we went in 20 metres, we’d be pretty close to their house. “The other side of the road would be more valuable.� “I agree we should only take what’s useful to us but since we have another one just up the road, we have to make sure we’re being equal,� Purdon said. “We could agree to some exchange but not without costs.� “If I had to pay, I’d pay more for

the land we’re getting than the land we’re giving up,� said Coun. Jeff Matson.

In the second instance, the Veley property, McMunn said the 1.1 acre road allowance was appraised at $13,732. She said there were differences in that there is a house on the road allowance and the land being swapped is right along Veley Road and could be on both sides.

Council agreed to accept both reports and McMunn said she’d have al the details, including the costs of surveying, land transfer and taxes that would be borne by the landowners, for a future Council meeting.

Hillier launches online campaign to fix “Broken Hydro�

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Anyone who’s ever launched a website knows that things can change overnight and often the proposed site needs some alteration before it’s actually available online.

But in the case of Frontenac-Lanark-Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier’s latest online adventure, Broken Hydro (http://www. brokenhydro.ca/), the changes were ones he was happy to make. “We planned the site as a way for people who had exhausted all the regular avenues for their billing concerns with Hydro One,� he said. “The site features an online petition in which we were going to call for the Ontario Ombudsman (Andre Marin) to investigate the fiscal practices of Hydro One. “But I’ve been talking to the Ombudsman on this issue for some time now and on the very day we were to release the site (last week), I got a call saying the office was going to look into it.�

Hillier said he’s pleased that the Ombudsman is getting involved and optimistic that the nine-month investigation will result in some answers. But he’s not abandoning the website or the petition, which now asks “that the Premier and the Minister of Energy reduce the waste and duplication in Ontario’s electricity sector and other necessary steps to lower the cost of electricity so that Ontario’s electricity prices are competitive with other jurisdictions. � “We’ve received almost 7,500 signatures and I believe it will get to 10,000,� he said. “We’ve been getting responses from right

across the province and the concerns are not specifically tied to the Ombudsman’s investigation.�

Hillier said he’d been getting a lot of calls from constituents faced with “outrageously� high electricity bills and after some investigation, he came to the conclusion they were right to complain. “Most people came to me after exhausting all their other options,� he said. “On Aug. 2 last year, I asked the Ombudsman to become involved because it was clear to me that this was not just a case of one or two clerks not doing their jobs, the problem was systemic. “And we found Hydro One had a very cavalier attitude towards it — saying things like it may be too big for them to fix and every six months I’d get a new excuse. “Meanwhile, bills kept increasing.�

The Broken Hydro website breaks down the costs involved in each consumer’s bill.

The actual electricity accounts for 41.7 per cent of that bill. Delivery charges account for 40.5 per cent, HST is 11.5 per cent, debt retirement charges are 3.3 per cent (even though that debt has been paid off) and regulatory charges are 3 per cent.

Hillier blames a number of so-called ‘green energy’ projects that turned out to be “incredibly economically inefficient� and the cancelled Oakville and Mississauga plants for Hydro One’s high billing. “Other jurisdictions seem to manage green projects without the high costs Hydro One has,� he said. “We can balance green energy with affordability too. “What this website does is give people a way to engage themselves and express their feelings to government.�

In Our Opinion

Fair Elections Act is anything but

Beatles ‘tribute’ gets the gold medal over Olympic coverage Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column — Like everybody else, I’ve been watching the Olympics but, other than hockey and curling, I don’t really give a rat’s patoote about the rest of the sports unless Canada has a legitimate chance at a medal. (Go ahead and trumpet the ‘it’s the participation’ thing if you like but I’ve covered several Olympiads and trust me, it’s about hardware regardless of the politically-correct rhetoric.)

Anyways, two things struck me about this Olympiad.

First, I kinda liked the “team� event in figure skating. Now don’t get me wrong, figure skating still has mega-problems like deals between judges, and the fact that real athletes don’t wear glitter and sequins, but for some reason, this “team� aspect added a welcome element that gives you reason to cheer for our hapless pairs team that under this format, has a chance to contribute points towards the

‘team’ gold medal, even if they’re doomed to fifth place because of collusion amongst the judges. (How they manage to allow this crap to continue is beyond me.)

But anyways, I’ve been waiting for a half a dozen Olympiads to write something nice about Olympic figure skating so here it is. I liked the team event. Probably because it gave us stats freaks something to calculate during the competition.

The other thing that struck me is how easily I can be drawn away from Olympic TV coverage.

While most networks just throw up their hands during Olympic times figuring the bulk of the Neilson ratings will go to lugers sliding down a mountain, CBS came up with a winner.

As it turns out, it was 50 years (to the day) that The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and the Grammys folks decided to commemorate the event with a Beatles tribute.

Now, I’ve always been more Stones than Beatles, my fav beatle (John Lennon) has been dead for 30 years or so and essentially the Grammys suck.

But damn, they did a fine job on the tribute (other than Katy Perry

doing Yesterday but then nobody but McCartney himself can really pull that tired old tune off).

So, Sunday night it was screw the Olympics and bring on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Speaking of which, can anybody think of any other time any of The Beatles have done the Sgt. Pepper intro/With a Little Help From My Friends that Paul and Ringo did? I can’t. I think it’s the only time it’s ever been performed live by actual Beatles.

Anyways, I enjoyed the show so much, I watched it again on Wednesday night, the Olympics be damned.

Now I know, the Olympics bring the world’s youth together in a show of solidarity, competition and friendship and all that. It’s wonderful, it really is.

But one thing it isn’t is Joe Walsh doing While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It’s not even Dave Grohl doing Hey Bulldog (which was a bit of a treat since it’s a rather obscure Beatles tune . . . good call Dave).

So to sum up . . . if it’s a choice between the sequined figure skaters and rock’n’roll, give me Saw Her Standing There every time, yeah, yeah, yeah

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, February 20, 2014

Gazette Editorial - On the eve of another election, the federal government in power has used its strong-stable majority to push through legislation that has the cumulative effect of disenfranchising thousands and suppressing Elections Canada campaigns to encourage voter turnout, all under the name of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair Elections Actâ&#x20AC;?.

First, the Act aims to curve the investigatory power of Elections Canada and transfer it to the director of public prosecutions, making the agency accountable not to Parliament, but to the sitting government. This would be a bit like if a lawyer being investigated for evidence tampering was able to somehow have the prosecutor selected from the ranks of his or her own law firm.

Second, the bill raised political contribution limits, meaning we can expect more nasty attack ads and robocalling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; problems that ostensibly the Act was supposed to curb. Third, and perhaps most bizarre, Elections Canada would be forbidden from running campaigns encouraging people to vote. Since when is encouraging voter turnout considered a bad thing?

Fourth, and what we find most troubling, is that there will no longer be any provisions, whatsoever allowing people without government issued photo-identification to cast a ballot.

Make no mistake, many of these provisions will be constitutionally challenged, and the Act may eventually be stripped of many of its more egregious provisions, including the requirement that voters show government issued identification to cast a ballot. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tedious process, and elected officials should know better than to tie up the courts, wasting hundreds of thousands of tax dollars, all for some perceived short-term gains.

Canadian voters shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through the rigours of graduated motor-vehicle licensing, or the bureaucratic rigmarole of obtaining a Canadian passport simply to exercise their constitutional right. The new legislation constitutes little more than a poll tax that disenfranchises the voices of the most marginalized citizens. These are voices that desperately deserve to be heard. A recent decision by a Pennsylvania State justice supports the position, with the judge arguing that voter ID laws place an unreasonable burden on voters who do not currently have photo ID, and moreover that there have been less than a handful of instances where voter fraud, the thing the laws are designed to stop, has actually been documented. In Canada, there have been eight people charged with voter fraud throughout the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

We believe that the bill is tragedy, and time will undoubtedly see it stripped down by constitutional challenges and legislative changes. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be this way. Canadians deserve an accountable government that respects our democracy.

Have something to say?

Something on your mind?

Sydenham high school students are living W.E.L.L in new addition

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – It is finally complete. The over $3 million expansion of Sydenham High School is finally ready to go and students and teachers couldn’t be happier with the end result.

The finished project is a functional space that provides rooms the high school really needed - but that wasn’t the original plan.

“We saw the blueprints of the addition and it consisted of four or five classrooms that were just typical classrooms and some of the staff in the building asked Brenda Hunter, director of education, if she would come out and let us share our vision of what the space could look like,” explained teacher Jeff Sanderson.

“Luckily she bought into the vision of what we thought we needed at the school to make it work. The next set of blueprints we saw were changed and all of our suggestions were accommodated.”

The new wing of the school is being called the “wellness wing” and it focuses on wellness of the mind, body, and soul. The new wing includes a computer room for exercising your brain, a gymnasium for exercising the body, a nutrition based industrial kitchen for fueling the body and, lastly, a new drama room

for fueling the soul, self-confidence and spirit.

“We came up with the concept of live W.E.L.L which stands for work, exercise, love and learn and we have a bunch of different programs to go along with that. We are trying to focus staff and students on being healthy and living well,” added Sanderson.

As part of the program, students are invited to participate in lunchtime activities like yoga, pilates and strength training. For fifth year student Kathleen Rickards, lunchtime yoga is a welcome change.

“This is the first time I have ever done yoga and I thought it would be

a lot of fun. I always wanted to try it and now that it is in the school I can,” explained Rickards who also enjoyed the fact that the activity was held in the new gym. “This is the first time I have actually used the new gym and it’s really great and much better than the old space.”

Many of the students are happy to have the new facilities and are excited to experience all of these new programs, added Sanderson. The teachers even held a kick-off breakfast for Grade 9 students on Feb. 10 and emphasized the importance of eating breakfast.

“We spoke to the students about eating breakfast and found out that

about 30 per cent of them skip breakfast. We talked about the importance of breakfast and waking your body up after a rest by eating and energizing yourself. We are just trying to get them more involved in their overall wellness and getting them to think about it more.”

The programs continue through the spring with special guests like Queen’s athletes, nutritionists, personal trainers and instructors coming in to speak with the students. There has been a lot of interest from local residents wanting to help and Sanderson is happy that all of the programming isn’t falling on the teachers.

“The whole idea was to create

a program that wasn’t adding to people’s workload. The staff can partake, but they don’t always need to be the ones leading the events. If this is going to be something sustainable, we need to involve more people to make it all work.”

Overall, staff and students are just happy to have a new and more functional space. “The old gym was overused for things like assemblies, plays and fashion shows whereas now we can have designated areas for each of those activities,” said Sanderson. “We didn’t just need extra space, we needed usable space and we couldn’t be happier with what we got.”

Places to explore and things to experience

The blues is the source Gazette Lifestyle - Early blues artists didn’t set out to influence modern popular music. They sang from the heart with no thought of tomorrow. But, through a path that wound from places like New Orleans and Memphis to Chicago, California and New York, musicians like Son House, Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton and W. C. Handy changed the musical world.

Muddy Waters fathered the gritty and more electric Chicago blues sound.

Howlin’ Wolf (Chester Burnett) wrote and popularized such tunes as Smokestack Lightning, Back Door Man, Killing Floor and Spoonful, which became standards for rock bands like the Doors and Yardbirds.

The newest generation of blues-influenced musicians includes the avant garde like Jack White and White Stripes. In the documentary It Might Get Loud, White, Jimmy Page and U2’s The Edge explore the history of rock guitar. It all goes back to blues musicians. Jack White immediately credits the raw and dirty sounds of Son House as influential.

The Rolling Stones, one of the hottest bands at the core of rock music for decades, acknowledge that the birth of their sound came directly from American blues artists.

Women were equal to men in blues power. Memphis Minnie played blues guitar with prowess long before B.B. King or Eric Clapton. She also wrote songs like When the Levee Breaks (Led Zeppelin).

Along the way, blues musicians wove a web into rock and folk music. Blues artists like Sonny Terry and Leadbelly (Huddie Ledbetter) played with folkies and activists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, who would spread the music across cultural boundaries.

Blues artists like John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf and John Mayall brought the sound to the young masses in the 1960s. John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers band served as the training ground for many rock heroes: Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce, who would form Cream; Mick Fleetwood; Mick Taylor, who joined the Stones; Walter Trout, who remains one of the finest blues guitarists in the world; Aynsley Dunbar, who went on to work with Frank Zappa, Eric Burdon, Lou Reed, Jeff Beck and David Bowie; and Andy Fraser, who joined the band Free.

These folks all came out of a blues background.

Why blues? What’s the appeal? May-

be it’s simply that it expresses hopes and pains that are universal. The world can be an oppressive place. The blues freed people from that oppression - not the political and social variety, but it did offer freedom of expression. Many of the blues artists, especially women, were also social activists through the 1960s.

Early deejays heard what was known as “race music” and eventually brought it into the mainstream.

The morph from blues to rock owes a debt to Sam Phillips, a record producer and deejay who founded Sun Studios in Memphis and discovered or helped launch such famed artists as Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.

Phillips wasn’t concerned about race, and took a lot of heat for that.

“When I heard Howlin’ Wolf, I said, ‘This is for me,’” Phillips is quoted.

“This is where the soul of man never dies.”

Not only did Phillips tear down racial music barriers, he was a strong advocate for racial equality across the nation.

Others helped bridge the gap into a new genre. You can hear blues morphing through R & B and early rock songs in singer Mitty Collier’s songs.

The Broadway musical Memphis, loosely based on the life of Memphis deejay Dewey Phillips (no relation to Sam Phillips) looked at the birth of rock music out of the early blues, soul and R & B singers. It also examined the excruciating pain of racism. Many stations didn’t want to play “race” (black) music.

That extended to Elvis Presley because his music sounded like race music. In other words, long before he put on the layers of pounds and started singing sappy Vegas tunes, the guy had soul.

Worse, he sounded sexy. And black.

Dewey Phillips was the first deejay to air Elvis songs. Like Sam Phillips, Dewey advocated the elimination of any kind of racial barriers and discrimination.

Whatever the reason, sung from deep within the soul, the blues caught on outside the Mississippi Delta, the cotton fields of the southern states and Memphis.

Today, listening to Ma Rainey sing Deep Moaning Blues (1928) or Bessie Smith’s Young Woman Blues, you still feel the depth. A song, like a photograph, is worth a thousand words.

You can pull up hundreds of songs since the birth of rock music in the 1950s

and find its blues DNA. For example, in rock music, Cream’s popular Sunshine of Your Love and Led Zeppelin’s Heartbreaker each use the identical blues scale with the notes played in slightly different order.

I got attached to the blues early. Born in Canada, my family moved to the U.S. before I started school (I still have my little green card). My dad was completing one, then another grad degree. I didn’t know we didn’t have money. I didn’t know that the area we lived in was called a ghetto or a slum. To me, life was exciting. It was natural to hang out with kids of every racial background.

By the time I was six or seven years old, my dad (who played drums and loved blues, jazz and ragtime) would take me to local music clubs and bars.

They wouldn’t let kids in most of these places, but in the warmer months the doors and large windows would be wide open, so we stood outside some place where we could see the stage, even if it meant my dad had to hold me up so I could watch the musicians. The blues etched into my soul. I can still feel Lewie Steinberg’s bass rumbling my gut. A brilliant blues bassist, his most memorable bass line is probably a simple three note riff in Booker T. and the MG’s song Green Onions.

And now, many years later, I get the same kick out of listening to jazz bassist Ron Carter or guitarist Christian McBride at The Blue Note in New York City. And, in Simba’s great big circle of life, I’ve taken my own kids to hear current jazz and blues musicians on the scene, people like Ron Carter and Ada Rovatti.

The City of Kingston has a long history of involvement in blues music.

The Limestone City Blues Festival brings in top name musicians to the annual event. Seen here is Walter Trout headlining the 2011 Festival.

Trout is one of many current blues musicians who got his start playing with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers.

Photo/Mark Bergin While still a young teen, I got to see such blues greats as Booker T. Jones and the late T-Bone Walker, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. As finances picked up in the family, we went to some seriously hardcore concerts like the Count Basie Orchestra.

Years ago, this little city of Kingston was a hotbed of the blues. It still has one of the best blues festivals around, sticking to an actual blues format, unlike many other festivals that are blues in name only. Ahem, Ottawa. Writer rolls his eyes.

Recently, a local discovery of historic proportions perked my interest. Tapes of some of the greatest blues musicians

ever recorded were discovered in Kingston from reel-to-reels made in the 1970s.

Not just any blues musicians, but the likes of John Lee Hooker and John Mayall playing in a local club. These recordings have never been heard before.

Next week, more about the Kingston connection to the blues scene and how you can score a CD set of these historic recordings, along with an event, hosted

by Dan Aykroyd, with some of the original musicians coming back to Kingston.

It will be one of the cultural pinnacles of the coming year.

HURRY IN – SALE ENDS FEB 28

House parties would always bring some special magic for Mary Mary Cook

Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Lifestyle – When I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held, without their being asked, she said it was very simple. Central just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch.

Well, that all made perfect sense to me.

That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha’s and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the twenty-acre field, so that meant the place would be fair jumping! With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip roarin’ night.

I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another night of magic.

The magic I was talking about was a secret between my sister and me. “It could be,” she said with a grin.

As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-to-Sunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flat-bottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cutters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots, and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex had one of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area, so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing.

I knew without asking that out in the summer kitchen, eleven quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing.

I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove… everything was ready for a great night of fun.

Aunt Bertha would have opened the parlour, and people spread out wherever they could find a place to sit or stand.

The very youngest of the children, and that

included me, would soon tire of watching the adults at their card games, and we would head upstairs to play Jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders.

The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field.

But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy feather ‘tickings’, puffy and inviting.

Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!”

It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to rest a bit as Joyce would say. There were so many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place.

Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in my own bed, in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across the twenty-acre field.

How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question.

“How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?”

Audrey would say the same words she said every time I asked. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary…just Renfrew County magic.”

It would be many years before I would know that it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket after the Saturday night party came to an end, and carry me to the sleigh and tuck me into my own bed. Magic indeed!

“There is a project in place on Wolfe Island,” said Coun. John Purdon, who, as Central Frontenac’s appointed member of County Council, was also added to the task force at the Jan. 15 meeting. “At the time, we asked about the possibilities involving the Sharbot Lake Seniors Home (which is no longer in operation due to fiscal constraints), so we decided that because with four townships we could end up with four task forces, we’d have two members in common, myself and Coun.

John McDougall, so that we wouldn’t end up re-inventing the wheel every time.

“Things are administered by the City of Kingston but they don’t get out into the country all that often so we have to be the ones to initiate things.”

“So, it’s up to the four townships to initiate things because the City won’t be going out initiating them,” said Gutowski.

• • • The Kennebec Shores Community subdivision agreement has been completed and signed by the Township, Planner Cathy McMunn told Council.

“A letter has been sent to the County confirming that all conditions in the draft plan of the subdivision have been completed to the municipality’s satisfaction,” she said. “The final approval of the subdivision is to be considered by County Council at its Feb. 19 meeting,” she said.

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Township extended its contract with Kingston Humane Society (for the care and disposal of animals) for a further two years (as opposed to the previous one-year contract) at the same fees, but Coun. Tom Dewey saw a few things in the contract that concerned him.

“In the letter, it says a reimbursement of $8 for every pet registration processed on behalf of the municipality,” Dewey said. “What are they talking about?”

“If your dog goes to the pound and it doesn’t have a tag, you’ll have to pay an additional $8 for the tag,” said executive assistant Donna Longmire.

“Also, the cost of euthanasia and/or care for the animal isn’t spelled out,” Dewey said.

“That looks like an open door for the vet and we’re on the hook.”

“It’s the same contract we’ve always had and I’ve never seen charges,” Longmire said.

“We’ve always just renewed the contract in the past,” said CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson. “Perhaps it’s time to ask some of these questions.”

Mayor Janet Gutowski expressed concern about a request from Frontenac County Council for representatives (ostensibly the Mayor and Deputy Mayor) on the County’s Seniors Housing Task Force.

Gutowski was suffering from a bout with the flu and missed the Jan. 15 meeting that spawned the request.

“I was surprised that the County asked for somebody to be appointed,” Gutowski said.

Gazette Lifestyle - I first met Jay Kopinski years ago on the street. We were each working as photojournalists for different newspapers. He impressed me with his invisibility; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strength of introverts. The best photographers are often the ones you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see doing their jobs.

Jay also impressed me with his photography skills.

Pro photographers get a lot of calls for freelance shots from many professional performing arts groups, sports event organizers and different wire services like Associated Press and Canadian Press. After referring several agencies to Jay, I realized heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d become my go-to photographer when I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take on an assignment.

That says a lot about his skill level. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to send an important contract out to someone who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to do a first-class job.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an unassuming and very pleasant person. Oh, and a dad. His family receives his primary devotion these days. When we got together last week, his new daughter, Halina, was only three days old.

The Olympics came at the right time for him. One of his big contracts is shooting at all the Ottawa Senators home games for Icon agency. So he gets a break during the Olympics. It turned out to be great timing for a baby to arrive.

You might think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get sick of hockey but he notes that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never actually been able to just relax, sit in the stands and watch, although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot about 150 NHL

games in Ottawa alone.

Sports and street photography come with injuries. Fortunately for Jay, he said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nothing serious. Some might argue that getting hit by a puck, an elbow to the head or a camera being smashed into oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face when it gets hit are all potential disasters, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just minor inconveniences for the sports photog.

A few years back, I had to turn down an aerial photography contract. I love taking shots from high above and I have a pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, but the timing was simply not right. So I recommended Jay for the job. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize until our interview last week that he is not fond of flying. Never mind that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never been in a small four-seater airplane. Guess I should have warned him that we also take the door off the plane when taking photographs. You get a much better field of view with no door or glass in the way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unnerving if you have never been in a plane with nothing between your seat and the earth a few thousand feet below. Regardless, he took the contract, enjoyed the adrenalin rush and completed the task.

Jay grew up in Trenton. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start out intending photography to be his career. He began in fine art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Grade 9 through OAC, all I did was paint an draw,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved music and art. Being an introvert, all the time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d focus on creative endeavors in my room. I still played sports, but even there, when I had an option, I had to take the option that was a little different. So when I

Photographer Jay Kopinski was an artist first and transferred his creative eye to the cameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lens. He now shoots at the international level, covering all the Ottawa Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home games.

played hockey I was the goalie.â&#x20AC;?

Instead of heading to the University of Toronto for fine art, he ended up at Loyalist College in an advertising program that allowed him to work in photography and graphic design in his final year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hated the advertising part of things, but it allowed me to pursue my love of photography.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largely self-taught and has always enjoyed photography. Jay still remembers the first camera he ever worked with.

The artist photographer Continued from page 14

“It was one of those Polaroid Land cameras,” he said. “It was a big green thing, you’d pull the photo out and put it in your armpit for warmth to develop it. It was the first camera I ever played with.”

He became passionate about photography a couple of decades ago when he travelled to Thailand.

“I was young, and it was an adventure,” he said.

“I backpacked around Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.”

And he took photographs. Lots.

Nowadays, Jay and his wife, Sarah McCutcheon, live in Gananoque.

“Gan feels like a town in the past,” he said. “Kids play on the streets. It’s a great spot for a family.”

Sarah is also a photographer, but you’ll find her covering weddings and doing portraits, not Jay’s interest area. Introverts aren’t big lovers of the whole wedding scene.

His work at all the Ottawa Senators home hockey games is demanding and stressful. He’s shooting and sending photos off to the agency during each period.

Those photos then get sent around the world. By the end of the first 20-minute period, Jay’s photos will already be showing up in Washington, California and around the world.

Game day starts a couple of hours before the puck is dropped. There’s a team meeting for photographers.

They get their shooting positions in the arena.

“After that, we sit around and talk shop, share photos of our kids, and just chat,” he said. “It’s less exciting than you might expect. We might get something to eat in the media room and then some of us go down to shoot warm-ups. Some don’t bother

with that unless they have to get photos of a specific player.”

One day over lunch, he got chatting with a Swedish man. Jay realized after the fact that it was Daniel Alfredsson’s father.

Many pros stick to one specialty, like sports. Jay’s more diverse. He also loves low-light situations like theatre and concerts.

“Anything that puts me on the edge, I really like it,” he said. “At a concert or inside a theatre with almost no light or up in a plane with the door off, I love it all.”

He said he’d like to be working full-time for an NHL team, which would mean a move to somewhere like Florida or Winnipeg (to use two weather extreme examples).

“I’d go anywhere,” he said. “As long as I could support the family, it would be worth it. Photography is my obsession.”

He also has fun with his family.

“I’m a very hands-on kind of dad,” he said. “I’m a real family man. It’s like I’m an introvert in the outside world, but an extravert at home.”

For young people considering photography as a career, Jay said they should take as many photos as they can.

“Shoot, shoot and shoot some more photos,” he said. “Either you have it (the skill) or you don’t. Never stop doing it. But you have to have a passion for it. If you don’t want to do it every day, then don’t do it as a career.”

I wondered if he has a favorite image or perfect photo he’s shot?

“I’m never satisfied with anything I shoot,” he said.

That’s the artist talking. And this photographer has always been an artist.

Ferry Not in Service, Bad Weather delays, No driving on the Ice !

By Margaret Knott Correspondent

Gazette News- It has been quite a winter for Frontenac Islanders living on Howe and Wolfe Islands especially during the recent severe weather and it is not over yet. The weather actually led to a complete shut down of the MTO owned, Frontenac County operated Howe Island ferry for nearly a week due to high winds and specifically to ice broken off the east side of the narrow channel that is kept open by a bubble system that presently is in need of certain repairs. Fortunately the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot ferry continued to operate during those days The Wolfe Islander while not shut down, has also experienced slow downs due to heavy winds, high waves and thick ice in the channel . The bubble system has been a problem for Wolfe Island as well and had the ferry route been shut down,

there is no alternate route. If the ferry was damaged and out of service there is no second ferry. Resilient Islanders who in days gone by would have ventured across the ice by car or horse and buggy are forbidden to do so. Ice boats ?

Concern of course always remains with the weather and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;what to doâ&#x20AC;? in the event of a medical emergency if the ferry or the route are out of serviceâ&#x20AC;Ś The bubble system was installed to keep the Kingston dock, the Howe Island dock and WIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (winter) docking at Dawson Point and a channel from Kingston free of ice all the way to it, if required).

However the Wolfe Islander continues to operate from Marysville to Kingston.

In a communiquĂŠ issued to Howe Islanders about the initiatives the Township has undertaken to help remedy the situation in the first instance on Howe Island , it was noted that Mayor Denis Doyle, Deputy Mayor Jones, Frontenac

Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Charbonneau (Transportation Services), MTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stuart Jones had spent a considerable amount of time deliberating the service delivery challenges pertaining to the Howe Island County Ferry, and the bubbler system maintained by MTO. They also met with MPP John Gerretsen.

The communiquĂŠ also assures the County and Township that an annual inspection and load testing of the compressors is completed each year by MTO with the bubbler system working well when started December 18th but after that point was unable to manage with the excessive cold and westerly winds.

Not much can be done about that at this point but MTO continues to monitor the bubble systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance for the remainder of this winter and going forward, with required repairs and widening of the bubbler operation done for Howe Island well before next winter.

However the addition of an extra drive on the Howe Island County ferry to lower wind effect is not possible due to dockage constraints limiting the width of the vessel.

Regarding the Wolfe Island service, where the WOLFE islander III continues to operate from Marysville rather than the winter dock at Dawson Point, MTO feels that with the higher

powered engines on the ferry that the bubbler across the channel to the usual winter dock at Dawson Point is no longer required, but should be maintained around its docks where pipes were replaced and the system is working well.

At this time there is no channel to Dawson Point. MTO however has excavator equipment available to remove ice build up at the Marysville and Kingston docks as needed.

Two resolutions were passed at Frontenac Islands February Council meeting in advance of a meeting arranged to take place with Minister of Transportation Glenn Murray, Mayor Doyle and Deputy Mayor Jones on Sunday Feb. 23rd in Toronto to discuss ferry services, operation and capacity, (not for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the Wolfe ferry has had some delays this winter we will not have much time with Minister Murray so we will focus on the two resolutions passed at the recent council meeting,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Doyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One to deal with improving the Howe bubbler system and the reliability of the ferry service there now and in the future; the other lobbying for a second ferry for Wolfe Island, at least for the summer months. We hope MTO will be able to find a used ferry until they get the go ahead on a long

term Wolfe Island solution,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Howe Island resolution also requests that â&#x20AC;&#x153;MTO review the design and mechanics of the County Ferry service with the prospect of enhancements to decrease the effect of severe weather conditions on its year round operation in the future.â&#x20AC;? The Wolfe Island resolution notes the public was advised nearly three years ago that the MTO study completed in 2011 recommended a second 85 car ferry running from Dawson Point to Kingston and requests that until a permanent solution is decided upon, and implemented that MTO provide a second ferry (preferably by spring 2014) running on the proposed Dawson Point route. It points out that traffic on Wolfe Island has increased due to the 86 tower wind farm; cycling; Big Sandy Bay; Metal Craft Marine Boat Company; and the international link between Kingston and New York State, etc., resulting in a several hours delay in getting on the ferry. * Interesting to note that at a meeting with Minister Murray in August 2013 he directed (his) staff to look into a bridge option to provide a more permanent and cost effective solution.

EP release party will raise money for good cause

By Kelly Reid Reporter

Gazette Entertainment - Brian Taguchi, singer/songwriter and native son of Kingston, has always felt a love-hate relationship with winter.

On the one hand, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always written my music when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the winter months.â&#x20AC;? Taguchi finds that this time of is year one that invites reflection and creativity. His latest album, â&#x20AC;ŚBy Blunt Winter Sun, was spurred by spending long periods of time inside. Despite being a season rife with inspiration, though, Taguchi says â&#x20AC;&#x153;a long winter takes a toll on people. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to keep

everything in balance, they need a little help.â&#x20AC;? The inherent struggle of winter is really what resonates with him.

Taguchi studied psychology at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s before settling into music, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost his appreciation for the subject. Says Taguchi, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been attentive to the emotional climate of a space, and the people within it.â&#x20AC;? As such, he has decided to fundraise for the Canadian Mental Health Association Kingston branch while releasing his new EP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every community has its own unique set of challenges, so I wanted to dedicate this new albums towards raising a little bit of awareness and money,â&#x20AC;?

he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty-five per cent of each CD sold at the release and 50 per cent of all online album sales for the month of February will be donated to CMHA Kingston.â&#x20AC;? His goal is to raise $400. So far, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m about $25 in,â&#x20AC;? he jokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need a little help.â&#x20AC;?

Taguchi promises that in addition to benefitting a good cause, partygoers will have a rocking time, too.

Taguchi will be reuniting with his band In a Cloud of Awesome for the first time since 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really looking forward to that,â&#x20AC;? he says excitedly. His friends from Down Here from Here will also perform, as well as Aaron Wilson, before Devin Cuddy closes the night. Cuddy is the son

of Blue Rodeo front man Jim Cuddy, who happens to be playing in town the same night. Taguchi promises, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a really well-rounded night of music. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be low-key.â&#x20AC;?

According to Taguchi, his own music is â&#x20AC;&#x153;progressive folk rock,â&#x20AC;? which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a contradiction in terms, he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The folk part is really just about telling stories,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Folk is all about telling a narrative about the human condition. Hopefully thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatable.

As for the rock, well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a kid of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s. I love the guitar riffs.â&#x20AC;?

Playing folk is really how Taguchi finds he is able to understand mental health. Often, the stories he tells are

ones of loss or upset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some element of struggle and pain in everything,â&#x20AC;? he concedes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but in writing and performing them, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to show the redemptive side. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories fascinate me.â&#x20AC;? Following the album release, Taguchi will begin playing the spring and summer festival circuit. But, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the summertime, the music I play wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resonate as well.â&#x20AC;?

The EP release party will take place at The Mansion this Saturday, Feb. 22. Admission is $10 at the door. To buy Brian Taguchiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album online, or to learn more about the artist, visit www.briantaguchi. com.

Boys and Girls Club hopes to see you in pink on Feb. 26

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette News - Every seven seconds, a child in a Canadian school is bullied, according to statistics provided by the Boys and Girls Club. One in ten children are bullied regularly, and 42 per cent are victims of online bullying.

These are not statistics that The Boys

and Girls Club take lightly, and in order to do its part to raise awareness of the problem of bullying in our society, the organization will hold its third annual Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 26.

Tony Gargaro, operations manager of The Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area, says that each year the local club’s participation in Pink Shirt Day has grown, and this year the awareness campaign will

be bigger than ever thanks to new partnerships with the St. Lawrence College Student Association and the St. Lawrence College child and youth worker students.

“We’ve had the help of their students and our program staff delivering a message to all the kids that come through our program all month long, and the Kingston Police have really jumped on board this year too,” Gargaro explains. “They started way back

in November doing a cyber bullying course to all schools.”

The St. Lawrence College students have also organized a pre-Pink Shirt Day event for Friday, Feb. 21 at the Kingston Frontenacs’ home game, leading up to the national event the following Wednesday.

“They have different dance studios that will choreograph a simple dance routine to get the crowd involved,” Gargaro says. “[The St. Lawrence College partners] have their own sections already sold out with students and they’ll all have pink shirts on, and they have a photo booth so you can dress up in pink garb, take your photo and give a donation. That’s going to take it to the next level and really drive this awareness home.”

The idea behind Pink Shirt Day was born in 2007, when two high school students from Nova Scotia, David Shepard and Travis Price, witnessed a younger Grade 9 student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt.

The two boys organized a sympathy protest at the school, and the next day they were overwhelmed to find the hallways a sea of pink, as many other students were eager to support the cause. Since then, the event has grown in volumes; last year, over 160,000 people committed to wearing a pink shirt through Facebook.

Gargaro notes that the issue of bullying is much more at the forefront today that it was in previous decades.

“I think it was thought that it didn’t really affect kids in the way it does,” he says, adding that certain aspects of today’s culture, such as social media, make it easier than ever for children to be bullied.

“It’s a little more subtle today – it’s not just the playground beatings like it used to be. But it’s just as hurtful and just as damaging to a young mind.”

The worst case scenario, Gargaro says, is to lose a child to suicide – something that has been an unfortunate reality in recent years in several Canadian cities. “[Pink Shirt Day is saying let’s take a good look at it and see if we can make a difference and stop kids from killing themselves. It’s happened in different cities and we wouldn’t want it to happen here so that’s why we’re trying to do this and be a little preemptive.”

The key message Gargaro hopes youth take away from Pink Shirt Day: stand up and don’t be silent on this issue.

“If it’s happening to them or if they see it happening, speak up and end it. Approach an adult. Don’t feel embarrassed about it.

They want to hear this stuff, they want to end it. I think if we can work together we can do that. I hope we can make a difference.”

The Boys and Girls Club encourages everyone to purchase a pink shirt and wear it on Feb. 26 to raise awareness of bullying. Shirts are $10 and can be found at The Rocking Horse, The Playtrium, The Westbrook Golf Course (in the new soccer dome), Tir Nan Og, Farm Boy, École secondaire catholique Marie-Rivier and at the Feb. 21 Frontenacs game at the K-Rock Centre.

All proceeds from shirt sales will go to support programs at the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area.

Tiny Hoppers expands west and opens new location in Kingston

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new kid in town, or at least a new place for your kid in town. Tiny Hoppers is happy to be celebrating the launch of their new Kingston West location and in an effort to get more Kingstonians interested and aware of their centre,

they are holding an open house celebration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We officially opened on Jan. 6 and now we are excited to be telling the community that we are here,â&#x20AC;? explained location Director, Julie Tuskovich-Sauve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to come in and see what we are all about. We are currently offering free play classes too. They give people a

chance to come in and check out the facility and get to know Tiny Hoppers and have some fun with their little ones too.â&#x20AC;?

Tiny Hoppers, Kingston is the first venture that the brand has taken outside of Ottawa since opening in 2005.

While they have seen great success in Ottawa, the company felt like there was need for their facilities across the

rest of Canada and it was time to expand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve opened a new location in Ottawa every year since 2005 and now there are eight locations out here,â&#x20AC;? explained Regional Director of Operations, Carrie-Anne Blaine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kingston is our first venture west and now we have nine other locations in the works. We are expanding really quickly, but it is really exciting.â&#x20AC;?

Much of Tiny Hoppersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success can be attributed to their unique approach to early childhood education. Each facility is run on the same set curriculum and each centre looks almost identical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The curriculum is the same in each facility and it just ensures that our teachers are teaching the proper skills on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;? added Blaine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times with daycares, the teachers are in charge of developing the curriculum so a lot of the developmental skills that we want to work on daily are missed. Our structured curriculum prevents that from happening. We go step by step through the curriculum, level by level and the teachers stick to it to make sure that we are consistently reinforcing the skills that we think are most important.â&#x20AC;?

Tiny Hoppers is also filled with vibrant colours and high quality equipment and any parent stepping in there for the first time canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be enamored with the atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as people walk into Tiny

Place Place youyour ad in ad in EMC the Classifieds Classifieds

Hoppers, it really sells itself,â&#x20AC;? explained Blaine, who also added that an open house is a perfect way to bring about this sense of excitement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want to get people in the door so they can see what we have to offer. The environment is really fun and coming in also allows parents to meet our teachers. We go through an intense screening process when we hire and we really look for the best of the best. We really encourage people to shop around when they are looking for a new daycare for their child because it is a really important decision, but most times when parents come in they end up coming back.â&#x20AC;?

The new location in Kingston currently has about a dozen kids enrolled and their maximum capacity is 76.

Tuskovich-Sauve is confident that they will be filled to capacity in no time and has already hosted a number of tours for parents since opening just over a month ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is, unfortunately, a lack of good quality day care facilities out there so we are really hoping to provide that for parents,â&#x20AC;? added Tuskovich-Sauve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully the open house will attract some new clients and really show Kingston what we have to offer.â&#x20AC;?

Tiny Hoppers is located at 375 Select Drive and their open house will be held on Saturday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For more information visit www.tinyhoppers.ca.

Olympics obsessed Mandy Marciniak Reporter

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Editorial - I have a confession…I am addicted to the Olympics. Luckily, I don’t think I am alone, or at least I hope not. I’m sure there are many people who have been just as unproductive as I’ve been over the past week and a half, fighting the urge to call in ‘sick’ and sit in front of the TV all day watching the coverage. I’m not really sure what it is about the Olympics but they are contagious and so addicting.

I remember watching the Olympics as a child, but never getting overly excited about them and not really understanding all of the hype. My mom and I watched figure skating together, but that was pretty much it. Then in 2010, with the Vancouver Olympics, I couldn’t stop watching. I was in my final year at university and the Olympics were on during reading week. I really should have been at the library catching up on reading, but instead I was glued to the couch watching. I remember just being mesmerized by the whole thing, and not just because Canada was hosting. Sports I had never watched, like speed skating, luge, curling and moguls became fascinating.

To be clear, this obsession is with the winter Olympics only. I have very little interest in the summer Olympics, which is odd because in practice I am far more likely to actually partake in summer sports than winter sports. Perhaps that is the Canadian in me coming out or perhaps the winter Olympics are just my way of dealing with the long, cold, winter blahs.

This winter, as I am sure anyone in Canada will tell you, has been excruciating. I’m not a big fan of winter, but I can generally deal with

it. I’ve never been prone to winter depression, but this winter has been a bit rough. Korey and I have both struggled to get through the winter (and still are) with a positive attitude. We live in a cottage that is not entirely winterized, which up until this winter hasn’t been a major problem.

This year we’ve dealt with frozen pipes, almost running out of wood (our main source of heat) and treacherous driving conditions. It really is the worst winter I can remember and it just doesn’t want to end. Somehow, the Olympics make it better.

The Olympics are exciting, everyone is happy and we as Canadians are happy to see our country succeed (and we are totally kicking butt this year!)

On top of all of this, I love seeing the athletes and hearing their stories. I love rooting for them and seeing the joy they have when they succeed and sometimes that doesn’t even include a medal.

Some of the athletes are just happy to beat their own personal records and all of them are overjoyed to be at the Olympics in general. They really have worked their entire lives for these events and some of them have had to deal with physical injuries and personal struggles just to make it there. I love seeing athletes celebrate at the end of a race or a game by embracing their family members, who are radiant with pride. All of it actually makes me a bit teary, but in a good way.

I also love seeing the international athletes and hearing about their journeys to the Olympics. In the opening ceremonies parade, some smaller countries only had a few athletes representing them. These countries don’t have the funding and resources that Canada has, yet they still work to make sure that they can be represented at the Olympics. It really is an amazing sight.

Sadly, the Olympics can’t last forever and I am always sad to see them go, but at least when they are over this year we are that much closer to spring and that, for me, may actually be more exciting than the Olympics.

Lord Business (Will Farrell) has big plans for the Lego universe. He has separated all the different worlds, he makes everyone follow the instructions, and soon he will have a weapon so powerful it will hold everything in place. Keeping his perfection preserved forever.

Yet there is hope. Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) has a prophecy that says Lord Business can be stopped by the Piece of Resistance. It will be found by the greatest of master builders, and he or she will be the most interesting person in the universe. Unfortunately it is found by Emmet (Chris Pratt) who is the least interesting person in the universe.

pared for this quest Emmet, along with Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), Batman (Will Arnet), 1980s something spaceman Benny (Charlie Day), Metal Beard (Nick Offerman) the pirate, Unikity (Alison Brie) and Vitruvius set out to stop Lord Business. They will travel all the lands of the Lego Universe, face countless hordes of evil robots and Lord Businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; evil henchman Bad Cop (Liam Neeson). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Lego quest to end all Lego quests.

As a friend of mine said The Lego Movie is the kind of movie where everything fits together perfectly. It all just clicks. Okay Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done with the bad puns.

Seriously though this is one funny movie. This is the most fun my family and I have had at the movies in a long time.

We were all laughing out loud. Not to mention the way they bring all that wonderful Lego to life. It is mind blowing.

This film would have been worth seeing just for the animation alone.

Cast wise I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe they got so many great actors and comedians together to provide the voice talent for this film.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a star-studded lineup filled with comedic genius. Charlie Day, Alison Brie, Nick Offerman, and Will Arnet are some of the funniest people in Hollywood, and they do not disappoint. Chris Pratt is perfect to be the voice of Emmet the Lego everyman who may not have the goods, but somehow finds a way. Elizabeth Banks rocks as the Lego femme fatal Wyldstyle, and Will Farrell could go down as one of the greatest comedic villains of all time. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morgan Freeman whose voice carries such gravity you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be impressed when he speaks. Who knew gravity could be so funny.

KCFF gears up for 14th season

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette Entertainment - It’s an event film lovers across the region look forward to each year and this year the Kingston Canadian Film Festival (KCFF) has the potential to be bigger than ever, featuring a number of famous Hollywood names such as Reese Witherspoon, Colin Firth, Richard Dreyfuss and Jason Priestly.

Of course, festival general manager Marc Garniss notes that there is no guarantee these stars will make their way to the Limestone City for the KCFF, but it’s always a possibility.

“We always send the invite out to anybody we think might have some drawing power for the festival,” he says. “A lot of times they’re busy doing other films, so it sometimes has a lot to do with their schedule and sometimes they won’t know until the week of.”

Last year, celebrated Hollywood composer Mychael Danna dropped by the festival less than a week after his Best Original Score Oscar win for The Life of Pi. “If we were the Cannes Festival or TIFF we might be able to get a confirmation a

little further in advance, but because we are still a smaller, mid-level sized festival, bigger guests might wait until the last minute to confirm,” Garniss explains. “We also have a lot our emerging filmmakers who attend every year as well so I think we already have confirmations from about 15 different guests.”

The 2014 KCFF will feature a total of 22 films; some of the highlights include Jason Priestly’s film Cas & Dylan, starring Richard Dreyfuss and Tatiana Maslany; Atom Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot, starring Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon, and Louise Archambault’s French language film Gabrielle, which was Canada’s submission to the 2014 Oscars.

The movies will be shown at three different venues: The Screening Room, The Baby Grand Theatre, and City Hall’s Memorial Hall, which is a new venue for the KCFF. Garniss says that the goal was to find a third location that was closer to the other venues than the Time to Laugh Comedy Club, which was used last year.

“Hopefully the festival will feel like it’s a little more unified as far as location goes because last year with using Time to Laugh, it did feel a little bit spread out. I don’t know

if that’s just a Kingston mentality of geography - like a short walk up Princess Street is a long walk. But I think it’ll have a bit more of a community feel.

As always, the festival will feature a number of workshops, which will mostly be held at The Grand Theatre’s Davies Lounge.

This year, many will be aimed at young people, including a couple of animation workshops for youth and one about making a rap video for children aged five to 10.

Garniss says that he hopes the festival will provide a nice winter pick-me-up for locals and tourists alike, as well as expose them to some great films they wouldn’t have the opportunity to see otherwise.

“Over the four days of the festival we cram in as many of the small films that probably wouldn’t come to Kingston otherwise as possible. Certainly for me there are a lot of films that I never even would have heard of before. I see them and sometimes they’re in my year-end list of [best movies of the year] so hopefully other people can get that too.”

The KCFF takes place Feb. 27 – March 2. For more information and a full list of films that will be screened, visit www.king- Kingston Canadian Film Festival general manager Marc Garniss. canfilmfest.com.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, there is more to you than meets the eye.

You enjoy letting others get small glimpses of your true self, but this week they will get a lot of information all at once.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Feeling restless, Taurus? Spend some time with a hobby that you enjoy, whether that is cooking in the kitchen or building something out in the garage.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Others may have trouble reading you this week, Gemini. That’s because you are putting forth a few different faces. It is better for all involved if you remain consistent.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, now is the time to introduce your family to a special friend of yours. This person will be received graciously, so there is no need to fret about the meeting.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, when you want to get something done, it is probably best if you do it yourself this week. This way you can bring your own unique approach to the task at hand.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Cash seems to be flowing out of your pockets this week, Virgo. You may want to sit down and make some adjustments to your spending habits so you can get your finances in order.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, your patience is wearing thin, but you need to keep your cool or you could end up in a sticky situation at work.

Ride things out until the weekend arrives.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – It isn’t in your makeup to be meek, Scorpio.

If something needs to be discussed, speak up and let others know your perspective on the situation.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, a lucky streak has you excited to test your good fortune. Ride this wave, but do not go through all of your money in one fell swoop. That can spell trouble.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, you have been doing a lot of waiting around, but now your patience is bound to pay off. You just need to wait a little while longer to bear the fruits of your labors.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, a big adventure is on the horizon. The trouble is, you do not know what to expect and what to bring along for the ride. Things will come into focus soon.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – You need to take a rest, Pisces. Otherwise, you will burn out very quickly. Friends are urging you to slow down this week.

UP IN MY GRILL

A GUIDE TO CULINARY HAPPENINGS AND SEASONAL FOOD

Kate Kristiansen

Days On Front – A Beacon in the West End

By Kate Kristiansen Columnist

Gazette Lifestyle – Up in My Grill - The ‘third place’ is typically a community location outside of home and work, where individuals congregate to socialize and feel connected.

Days On Front is the west end’s third place. Located at 730 Front Road, in

Kingston it’s a welcoming beacon for locals to hunker down.

Over the past year, I’ve visited with hubby and friends on occasion in groups of two, three and six to enjoy the company. Upon opening there were several reviews of Days on Front, most highlighting owner Matt Day’s pedigree as the son of Clark Day, one of Kingston’s su-

preme foodies. Not a bad shadow to have, although for some time Matt Day has proven to be formidable in his own right.

On my most recent visit I dropped in to dine with two friends on a Thursday evening. The three of us were tucked into a nook by the entrance, next to the shelves lined with wine, a great backdrop to a delicious meal.

I had the chicken served with apricot cilantro basmati rice, coconut curry sauce, green beans and cashews. The aroma of coconut and cilantro teased me before I had even taken the first bite -I love Thai infused dishes. Another had the house special, a fresh local steak cooked to his choosing.

The most stunning dish was my vegetarian friend’s, crispy polenta with vegetable ratatouille, tomato sauce, goat feta, olives and olive oil. It stood with perfection and the colors were fabulous. I had food envy.

If you want a downtown dining experience on the west end, this is a great place to enjoy just that. Days On Front is highly accessible with ample parking and a great proximity for those living in this area. Every suburb needs a local watering hole.

The contemporary dining room has a snug to one side featuring a bar offering up a wide range of choice. My friend Mark Bergin (fellow Heritage and Gazette columnist) assures me, “no one can make a better Manhattan than owner, Matt Day.” I’m referring to the drink famously named after its New York island borough, a cocktail of whisky (or bourbon), vermouth and bitters served with a stemmed cherry. After one of those, it’s a good thing if you live nearby.

The atmosphere tends to be random depending on where you sit,

but the food is the real surprise. It’s not often that one can taste food this good from a strip mall restaurant.

Chef Jason Legere is dedicated to dazzling guests with what he calls his “global-local” style of cooking. He is red seal trained with experience in some of Kingston’s best restaurants including, Le Caveau (where incidentally I had my first ‘flight of four’ wine tasting), Le Chein Noir and Aqua Terra. Jay also trained under local chef Jack Francis (chef of Clark’s by the Bay and Clark’s on King).

Best known for its uncomplicated and intense flavors, his food is consistently delicious and sourced from local farmers and suppliers wherever possible. Their website, www. daysonfront.ca, suggests that they search out interesting and intriguing seasonal ingredients to enhance your dining pleasure.

If you want a downtown dining experience on the west end, this is the place to enjoy just that. At any given time both new friends and old can be found there, a great third place. I suggest you call ahead to make reservations 613-766-9000 as the locals can be found any night of the week filling tables.

If you have a food biz or a restaurant for me to try email me at ladydinesalot@gmail.com or follow my blog Ladydinesalot.com.

Blinds Blinds are considered a hard window treatment and help create a clean and uncluttered look on any type or size of window or door. Blinds can be made from metal, bamboo, plastic, wood or fabric and are extremely easy to clean with a damp cloth or mild cleaner.

Vertical blinds can add drama, strong lines and enhance the height of a room so they are particularly effective in rooms with lower ceilings. They allow for good air circulation and protection from UV rays (particularly useful in west and

south-facing windows).

Horizontal blinds made from wood or faux-wood are more expensive than metal or plastic but are quite popular and versatile. They can be used to create a modern and contemporary look or traditional and rustic depending on your home décor and style. For small or average openings, use a ½ to 1 inch slat or 2 inch or bigger size for larger windows and a bolder look.

Shades Shades are considered a soft window treatment that can range from elegant and formal to casual and simple. They can be layered with panels or curtains for a dramatic effect, adding dimension to any space or hung on their own for a clean and sophisticated look.

Cellular, honeycomb and pleated shades are normally made from fabric and add warmth and comfort to any window and room. These shades are available both in vertical or horizontal styles, can be made with room darkening or lightening features and do require some additional care when cleaning.

Roller or roman shades offer

simple, no frills window coverage that give any room a homey and casual feel. Perfect for the cottage or any other room where light control is flexible.

Drapes/Curtains/Sheers Curtains have been around for a while and can instantly add elegance and visual interest to any window. Curtains, drapes and sheers are available in many colours, fabrics and pattern designs and suit any budget. Curtains can cover the entire window or blend panels and sheers for a layered look.

Draperies can be hung from floor to ceiling adding ‘perceived’ height to any room and can contain insulation or room darkening qualities for added energy savings and reduction in drafts. Add a metal or wood decorative rod for visual drama and to help improve the look of any curtain!

Windows are the ‘eye of the home that frames the view of the outside world’ and window covering options are endless depending on your personal style, budget and needs. From the ornate and detailed to simple and classic, a window covering can be the focal point of any room or simply just blend into the background. Window coverings also serve a functional purpose helping to control how much light comes into any room, minimize drafts, and improve energy efficiency and privacy features.

mates is the average car ownership period.

The study examined the costs, including interest rates and fees, of leasing or buying a 2013 Honda Accord EX and buying a used 2010 Accord EX. The total cost of buying used after six years was $20,960, while the cost of leasing was $24,768 and the cost of buying new was $28,330. Buying used even saves buyers money when factoring in equity. Of course, leasing saves drivers the cost of maintenance and repairs, which can be considerable when buying used vehicles. However, an older used car wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost as much to insure as a vehicle that is being leased or financed. * Drive less. Of course, the easiest

way for automobile owners to trim the costs of owning their vehicles is to drive less. Though vehicle manufacturers have improved fuel economy in recent years, driving less will save money on fuel, the cost of which hinges on a host of factors, including petroleum demand and economic conditions. Such factors may cause a dip in fuel prices one day, but a sharp increase in price the next day. Regardless of those fluctuations in fuel prices, drivers who can cut back on their driving are certain to save money.

The cost of vehicle ownership is on the rise. But motorists who rely on their vehicles can still find ways to save money.

His 1933 Essex coupe might have been a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;32!

2014 shaping up to be a good year in the automotive industry 1932 Essex Terraplane coupe with black

R0012560437

rare model because by 1933, the Terraplane name was taking over and the Essex name was being phased out.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Essex was actually a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;32. Some unscrupulous used car dealers occasionally â&#x20AC;&#x153;updatedâ&#x20AC;? a car to get a better price. I recall one man who traded in his 1949 Austin on a used car lot in Windsor, Ontario, in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s. Before he left the lot, the lot man had already written â&#x20AC;&#x153;1950 Austinâ&#x20AC;? on the windshield. The man who traded it in reminded him it was a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;49. The lot man, without skipping a beat, explained that he could get more money for the car if it was one year newer. Buyers beware!

The 1933 (or â&#x20AC;&#x2122;32) Essex owned

by Lee Powell was probably built in

Tilbury, a small town in southwestern Ontario. The Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit set up a branch plant in that town in February 1932 to gain easier access to the Canadian and overseas Commonwealth markets. Among the eight body styles built in Tilbury, two versions of the coupe were offered, one at $1020 and a fancier version at $1,090.

Such resources are invaluable and can paint a realistic picture of what it might be like to own and drive a particular automobile. * Resale value: While selling a car you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even own yet is probably not foremost on your mind, it is important to consider a carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential resale value before buying it. The high costs of new vehicles has pushed many buyers out of the new car market, making preowned vehicles a more affordable and attractive option. So considering a carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential resale value before buying it new is a smart move that can pay dividends down the road when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back on the market for a new vehicle.

Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) is a valuable resource to gauge the resale value of vehicles, and buyers can even calculate the resale value of a car over its first five years. This can help consumers determine which options to get on their new cars and even help to govern sustiniamet venibh eu iuscilluptat ver alisciduis adiam, quat. quat, quam, sisi. their drivingnosto habitsdolutet, in an effort to keep feugiam quatisi.
