County sends fire communications report back for more study By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — A report recommending a $5-$7-million overall of the fire department communications system in Frontenac County is dead in the water, but Council did at least recognize the need for a better system — just not at any cost. An around-the-table response called for at last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting in Glenburnie by Chair John McDougall produced something rare at this term’s County Council — unanimity. However, while councilors were unanimous in the fact that something needed to be done and that the price tag was just too high, that’s about where the agreement ended. “We can’t keep operating in our
own little silo,� said Dep. Warden Denis Doyle. “The City of Kingston and the paramedics aren’t involved in this report and I think they should be. “I think we need to expand this theme at ROMA (Rural Ontario Municipal Association) (and) I think the fire chief (in this case, South Frontenac Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough, spokesperson for the report) needs to sit down with the CAOs and reach a consensus before it comes back to this table.� “We’re dealing with a lot of fire issues in North Frontenac but communications never seems to be an issue,� said Coun. John Inglis. “(The price tag) of this was an example of a real surprise (and) I still need to be convinced.� “We’re in the process of coming up with a Master Fire Plan in North,� said Warden Bud Clayton. “We’re
only mandated with fire prevention and education. “This (communications) is a want.� Coun. Janet Gutowski was even more blunt regarding her thoughts on the issue. “I think this is a good example of how not to co-ordinate a report,� she said. “No disrespect to Chief Chesebrough but this is only about radios. “As technology changes, is this really the best route to take?� For his part, Chesebrough rejected the idea that there weren’t consultations with other potential players, pointing out that some of the motivation for improving the system came from the fact that the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and the City of Kingston have just upgraded their communications to similar systems.
“This is the single largest joint initiative (between fire departments and public works departments) we’ve taken in the County and I’m not the driving force behind it,� he said. “I just happen to be the lucky guy who gets to communicate it to you. “Bell Mobility is looking at a new system and we looked at that too and the CAOs were kept apprised of the report all the way along. “But since the County paid for the study, it was decided the report should come to the County first. “We weren’t looking at having the County approve it immediately, we were just putting it out there as to what’s available.� “Thank you Chief,� said McDougall. “The mantle was thrust on your shoulders and that’s not a happy place to be.�

Prince Charles Public School promotes tree planting with new seedling program mmarciniak@thehritageemc.ca
Gazette News – This year, when the ground finally thaws, students at Prince Charles Public School in Verona will be very busy. Their plan is to expand a tree nursery that was started on school property ten years ago, start a composting program with on-site disposal units, and expand their eco initiatives. All of these projects are aimed at helping the school receive a gold level in the Eco Schools certification program. Prince Charles has achieved silver standing for the past two years, but this year teacher Kevin Wenkoff is confident that they can achieve more. Schools are assessed on six different criteria including teamwork and leadership, conserving energy, minimizing waste, greening the school grounds, curriculum -based learning, and environmental stewardship. “We’ve done things like establishing an eco team and assessing how we can reduce waste in the school, but now we really need to expand more into the stewardship area and get the community involved,� explained Wenkoff. “With that we started the seedling program and we are trying to promote planting trees in the community. We have reserved 1,000 seedlings and we will be selling them over the next month and that is one of our
major initiatives this year.� Students will be selling white pine, white spruce and sugar maple trees to community members for $2 a tree until early April. The tree costs are heavily subsidized by the government and there will be a bit of profit generated through the sales. Those profits will go to the parent council at the school and they will assess where it is most needed in terms of classroom funding. Any trees that are leftover will be planted on school grounds in their already established tree nursery. The students are excited about growing the garden and even came up with a new name for it this year. “They came up with the ‘Garden of Demeter’, the goddess of the harvest, and they were really proud of that,� explained Wenkoff. “They learned all about it and they had a bit of a competition to choose the name. They came up with something really appropriate. It shows how much they care about the project and how much they are learning too.� Along with the tree nursery, students will also be establishing a composting program at the school this spring. After doing an assessment of the amount of waste the school produces, the school received a grant from the Limestone Learning Foundation to move forward with a composting unit.

“We did a study on how much waste the school is producing, including organic waste, and we discovered that it is quite a [large amount considering the school only has 200 students], so we decided to try to set up some school composters. We are working with a local business, Duerst Metal Nature Spirit, to build animal-proof units that will allow us to compost any organic waste.�
The eco initiatives program has been a learning experience for the students, parents and teachers and Wenkoff is surprised by how much he learns each week. “All of this is also making me more accountable for my choices,� added Wenkoff. “When I go to throw things in the garbage, I think twice about whether or not it could be composted or recycled

Here’s a look at the technology currently available in a post-landfill waste disposal era Craig Bakay Reporter
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Editorial — One of the things that emerged in Frontenac County’s strategic priority setting sessions is the growing need to address what to do with our garbage when the landfills are all closed. All of the landfills in the County (indeed, in all of Eastern Ontario) will be closed within 20 years according to the MOE’s mandates. However, the MOE doesn’t seem to have a plan for after the landfills are gone. The options are limited. Shipping our garbage somewhere else simply isn’t an option. Where are you going to ship it TO? Recycling is an excellent idea and we’re getting better and better at it, but there are still many things that simply can’t be recycled into anything other than landfill or fuel. Unless somebody makes a quantum breakthrough, we’re left with ‘destroying’ our garbage in some way. The term ‘incineration’ seems to be one of those hot-button words that gives its opponents tunnelvision in their opposition to it. Similarly, the more contemporary ‘gasification’ is also beginning to meet a similar fate. But, if one can get by these biases for a moment, technology is advancing on this front and various approaches are being used around the world and here in Canada with varying degrees of success.
While gasification is a burning process, various techniques are used to mitigate the amount of effluent gases, especially those containing particulate matter. Essentially, municipal solid waste (after the recyclable materials such as plastic and paper are removed), is burned at extremely high temperatures and pressures, such that the waste materials are reduced to their constituent elements. This (under optimum conditions) results in byproducts that can be used as fuel for other applications or direct waste-to-energy systems. Some processes, such as pyrolysis, have been used in the chemical industry for decades, to produce activated carbon, methanol and various fuels. Two examples of pyrolysis are the making of gasoline from crude oil and the making of coke from coal. Pyrolysis is also the process at work when making charcoal. In recent years, a form of pyrolysis known as plasma processing has begun to emerge, with promising, albeit yet unproven on a consistent basis results. Under this process, plasma (ionized gas, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, an example of which is a lightning bolt) is used in the burning phase. Since there is no oxygen involved, many toxic compounds are avoided such as furans, dioxins, and sulfur dioxide. Proponents of plasma gasification also point to the potential for electricity generation from the energy produced by the process. However, as it does take a considerable amount of energy to create a lightning bolt, it is unlikely the resulting electricity can ever equal the initial outlay required, at best it may mitigate costs.

Former PM visits Queen’s to inspire and be inspired By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Gazette News - When former prime minister Joe Clark visited Queen’s University on March 4, he hoped to pass on some of his knowledge of Canada’s role on the world stage, gained from decades of experience, to the younger generation – but he also hoped to learn a few things himself from the students’ more youthful perspective. “Young people see the world entirely differently than I do,” Clark said in an interview with The Kingston Heritage. “I was raised in an age where distance really meant things. I knew what was immediately near me. I think [the perspective of young people today] is broader. People have a sense that they have like-minded people in the world and I look for their originality. I look for their commitment. I look for their fresh take on issues where my views might be more conventional than they need be.” Indeed, Clark said that the wide variety of not only generational but also cultural perspectives found in Canada can be a huge asset in terms of how our country can contribute globally. He emphasized the opportunity for a country like Canada to enter into new partnerships with other countries and non-governmental organizations interested in similar issues, a theme that is central to his new book, How We Lead: Canada in a Century of Change. “If you were born poor in Asia or in Africa, your view of the world
and its possibilities would be different from someone raised in Canada. And we have an unusual capacity to draw these different views of reality together and get some agreement as to how we can move forward. We’re not as big as other countries…but we are a country with a distinctive set of assets that we can begin to apply.” Clark believes that Canada has more opportunity for influence at international events than almost any other country, in part because we have been so successful in dealing with people who have built common aspirations despite coming from different backgrounds. “So in part the book I’ve written is an aspirational book - what we could be. And I think that’s a useful contribution. I found the writing hard, I’ll tell you, but what I really find satisfying is the kind of thing I’m doing here at Queen’s.” Clark noted that while today’s political climate, particularly his own Conservative (formerly Progressive Conservative) party, looks quite a bit different from how it did in his day, he hopes that some of his new ideas will be able to transcend party politics and have a positive influence regardless of who is in power. “I did not support the merger of the Progressive Conservative party and the Reform/Alliance because I feared at the time that the positive qualities of the Progressive Conservative party would be lost, and I regret to say I appear to have been right. I think that this is a narrower view of the world and consequently a narrower view of government. I try to analyze that in
my book as to why it happened and what its consequences are, but that’s the reality and I’m also trying to suggest that regardless of what party is in office, what the country might do if we wanted to make a real difference internationally.” While no longer directly in the political game, Clark is still very much involved with international issues and commentary. In addition to various writing projects, he is currently working with a number of international organizations dedicated to helping countries in the developing world solve some of the problems they’re facing. In December, he visited the Ivory Coast in Africa; the country has experienced significant civil wars, which they at last appear to be overcoming. “The government there believed that they could encourage some movement towards unity if they had a group of neutral people come in and talk to the leaders of various parties, and so I and six others spent a week there. I had a chance to talk to a number of parties that were in contest with one another and make some proposals as to what might be done.” But does he ever miss politics and being able to help address some of these problems from a position of greater power? Clark remarked that he was fortu- Former prime minister Joe Clark nate to serve as prime minister and foreign minister during a very cre- had my period as an actor and I hope ative time in the world, and that Can- that I learned some things [about ada played a very active and positive what Canada can be] that might be useful not only to people who are role during that period. “I think it is always better to be now making decisions on some of acting than to be commenting, but I these issues, but also to the Canadian
public.” Joe Clark served as Canada’s 16th prime minister from 1979-1980. He also served as secretary of state for external affairs in Brian Mulroney’s government from 1984 – 1991.

South Frontenac awards contract for Rock Lake Bridge reconstruction By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — The tender for reconstruction of the Rock Lake Bridge (on Desert Lake Road west of Road 38) has been awarded to Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd., Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth told South Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. “I’m quite excited about this one,” Segsworth said. “We had $900,000 in the budget for it and the bid came in at $876,654 including HST. “But not only that, we had 10 bids on this project.” Segsworth speculated that the reason South Frontenac is getting more interest from contractors is that they’re getting the tender process going earlier. “It gives the contractors the option of taking a chance on some of these jobs,” he said. He said the Rock Lake Bridge has “been on the books for some time now” and the project will include a picnic area and some “architectural enhancements” presumably something similar to the bridge completed last year in Verona.
The one down side is that there will be some traffic disruption with respect to school buses this fall. “There is some in-water work involved, which means the project can’t begin until July 1 (because of bass spawning),” he said. “And it will require one-lane traffic for three to four months.” ••• Given the amount of snowfall this winter and the new system of contracting out snow removal on arterial roads in South Frontenac this year, Coun. Del Stowe was curious for a report at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sydenham. “Like anything else, there have been some growing pains,” said Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth. “But this winter we’ve been getting plenty of opportunities to work on it. “Essentially, the system is working quite well.” Coun. Al McPhail wanted to know if the extra overtime this winter would have an impact on the summer construction season. “No, it shouldn’t,” said Segsworth. “There are limits to how much banked time staff can accumulate and how long they can hold it for.”
Frontenac County accepts strategic plan with some amendments By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — After considerable ‘editing,’ Frontenac County accepted a report as its strategic plan at its Committee of the Whole meeting last week in Glenburnie. The report ‘“Wildly Important Goals” for the County of Frontenac’ by Performance Concepts Consulting Inc., came in for considerable criticism for being too vague and its overabundance of flowery language, but in the end, Council did like the three strategic goals it outlined, albeit after some tweaking. The three priorities Council accepted to work on in the coming years include: 1. Seniors needs, especially housing and transportation, given the number of studies pointing out the emerging surge in this demographic as the ‘baby boom’ generation ages 2. The ‘post-landfill’ waste management challenges 3. Refocusing and downsizing the number of ‘sustainability’ projects in the County’s ICSP to focus on economic development. The report will now go to the Townships for their respective councils’ input and public debate. While all of the individual County councilors expressed numerous issues with the report, Coun. David Jones seemed to sum it up best. “I think the goals are (were) too nebulous,” Jones said. “We’re navel-gazing again and we’ve been guilty of this for years.
“Most of us have agreed that 54 priorities is nonsense and getting a few things done is a lot better than looking at a lot of things left to do.” Although not all of Council was concerned about that. “This is this Council’s second attempt at a strategic plan,” said Coun. Janet Gutowski. “It is what it is. “I think the three points are relevant and should be advanced to the townships ASAP.” “This went beyond what we need for the townships by adding all of those goals in the appendix,” said Dep. Warden Denis Doyle. Acting CAO Marion VanBruinessen said that the appendix containing the goals from the County’s ICSP, Directions for our Future, were added at her direction and offered to delete them in favour of a briefer and more focused approach, a move Council readily accepted. All three of the priorities were championed by councilors at one point or another but the waste management issue seemed to emerge as a front-runner. Chair John McDougall pointed out that in 15-20 years, all of the landfill sites in the County will have been closed by the MOE with no new sites being approved. That will leave the County (and its Townships, as well as the rest of Eastern Ontario) without anywhere to put its garbage. “No one’s going to come and do any economic development in Eastern Ontario until they know there will be some viable solution for their waste,” said Warden Bud Clayton.
KFPL welcomes first writer in residence By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Events – Patricia Robertson always wanted to be a writer, it just took her a while to figure out how to be a writer. “I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I always knew that I wanted to be a writer but the path to being a writer is not a crystal clear one,” said Robertson, the new writer in residence at Kingston Frontenac Public Library. Robertson struggled for years and worked other jobs that involved writing before eventually going to grad school for creative writing. Her main take away from grad school was that she finally felt like she had permission to write. “[That] something that I felt I needed to hear in an official way,” explained Robertson. “After that I was involved in a very serious car accident in my late thirties and that really clarified things for me and made me realize that I needed to make writing a priority and I needed to organize my life around that and that is what I have been doing ever since.” Robertson took a position as writer in residence in the Yukon and eventually ended up staying on as a creative writing instructor at Yukon College. She was recently offered the position of writer in residence with KFPL and she felt like it was a perfect fit. “I am really passionate about the role of public libraries and their importance in the lives of community members. I remember going with my mother when I was very small, to the local library, so the idea of being based in a public library now, which everyone has access to, is very appealing to me,” explained Robertson. “The idea of being the first writer in residence here was really exciting too and I feel very strongly, as a writer, that it is a way for me to give back to a community.” As part of her residency, Robertson is offering writ-

ing workshops for aspiring writers. The workshop is called Seed of the Story and focuses on helping writers learn about how to start stories and translate their ideas and thoughts into plausible story beginnings. The first session ran at the central branch of KFPL in January and now Robertson is offering the workshop at the Sydenham Branch on March 18 and at the Sharbot Lake branch on April 29. Robertson encourages anyone who is interested in creative writing to come out to the workshop. “I would encourage people to come out if they are interested in creativity or they are interested in writing but feel intimidated by it, or anyone who is writing but finds that they get stalled. Sometimes people don’t have the confidence to carry the work forward and that is often the case when we start out. We don’t always have the courage to believe in our own visions and make them real.” Her main focus is teaching people how to tap into their ideas and showing them that anyone can write a good story. “It is letting people know that they have all sorts of story seeds in them and around them and it is really about being open to them and knowing how to access them. It is also about teaching people that writers are not magical people who have special access to these images and ideas. Everyone has them. It is about finding the raw material and working with it.” For more information on the “Seed of the Story Workshops” visit www.kfpl.ca or email Patricia at probertson@kfpl.ca or check out her blog at http:// writer.kfpl.ca/

In Our Opinion
A step in the wrong direction
Becoming a council member not that bad a deal when it comes down to it Craig Bakay Reporter
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Editorial — It’s still early yet, but there has only been a trickle of candidacy papers filed for Frontenac County Municipal Elections this fall. But kudos to those who have thrown their hats into the ring so far. In South Frontenac, Ron Vandewal, John McEwen and Al McPhail are running for mayor. Frontenac County’s longest-serving municipal Coun. Bill Robinson is seeking another term. In Central, Frances Smith has filed her papers as the lone mayoralty candidate so far while incumbents Wayne Millar, Jeff Matson, and Tom Dewey, along former councilor Logan Murray as well as newcomer Brent Cameron have also formally declared. No one has yet declared in North Frontenac as of this writing. This will all change of course as the September deadline approaches but in some ways, it’s kind of a shame that there isn’t more interest in what
is fundamentally ‘our’ system of government. When I say ‘our’ system, I mean essentially the North American system. There is a lot more than geography separating North America from the rest of the world. While we didn’t invent democracy (the word is Greek in origin for good reason), nor did we even refine it to its modern form (we’ll probably have to concede that to the English), we did nonetheless have democratic principles as a foundation from the get-go. Unlike ancient ‘civilizations’ that were a top-down system of kings, emperors, potentates, khans, whathave-you, North America began, and always has been, a collection of communities. Out of necessity, we’ve had to create local solutions to local problems and issues. Hence the phrase “all politics is local� is not without sound reasoning. Yes, we all hate whatever political party is in power in Ottawa, with corresponding disdain for its leader, whomever that might be. But when it comes down to it, how much it’s going to cost to flush our toilets is a lot more important to us than which fighter jets
we buy. And strangely enough, we have a lot greater opportunity to have a say in the cost of flushing our toilets than fighter jets. It costs $100 to file your papers to get on the ballot for the October election. There isn’t even any HST on that. After that, there’s the cost of gas for getting around to talk people into voting for you plus whatever election materials you want to create such as signs, posters, leaflets, buttons (although nobody seems to go for buttons much any more) or whatevers like pens or potholders with your name on them. Sometimes, nobody will run against you and you don’t have to do a damned thing. Now you don’t make an awful lot. Being a member of Council is certainly not a living in a rural municipality. But after a term or two, you might have a crack at mayor which also gets you a County Council salary and a few committee appointments that can add up. But mostly, you get to have a say in how things are done. Ask somebody living in rural China if that sounds like a good deal.

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, March 13, 2014
Gazette Editorial- Saturday March 8 was International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, a day that has celebrated the advancement of women since the 1900s. Sadly, this year, the week leading up to International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was one filled with news media attention on the appalling sexual sandals at the University of Ottawa, Early last week the school suspended the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team after allegations that several players were involved in a sexual assault in Thunder Bay over a weekend tournament on Feb. 1. The police are now investigating the allegations and while no details have been released, the school felt it was necessary to suspend the players in the interim. Shortly after this incident, four student leaders resigned from their posts at the university after student union leader Anne-Marie Roy went public with their sexually explicit private Facebook conversation about her. Roy had received screenshots of the Facebook chat in an anonymous email sent on Feb. 10, and decided to make them public to bring attention to what she considered an example of â&#x20AC;&#x153;rape culture.â&#x20AC;? Both of these incidents really call into question the treatment of women in universities across the country and how best to respond to scenarios like these. In a statement made by University of Ottawa chancellor, Michaelle Jean, the question of sexual mistreatment of women across the country also came up, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not a concern for women only, our campus only, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a societal issue â&#x20AC;Ś We all need to address this issue,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we were just brutally reminded of this week is the pervasiveness of misogyny.â&#x20AC;? These two incidents show that discrimination against women is still a prevalent issue in our society and while women have made great advances over the years, one has to wonder when the sexual mistreatment will stop. In response to all of this controversy, the University of Ottawa announced that they are establishing a new task force on respect and equality. The task forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate will be to submit specific recommendations to the president on ways to promote respectful behaviour on campus, particularly towards women. While the solution seems a bit late, we have to wonder if maybe this type of group should be mandatory at every university. As much as we all like to think that womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights are equal to those of men, situations like this really make us take a step back and see the reality. Perhaps next year, on International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, groups like the students at the University of Ottawa will have something to celebrate. For now, we really just need to focus on making positive changes and moving forward instead of backward.

The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, March 13, 2014 9
Young martial arts athlete determined to push her limits By: Mark Kerr Reporter
Gazette Sports -- Dominique Picard strongly believes in the motto “do what you love.” And for her, one of those loves is martial arts. “Martial arts, I find, develops oneself to be physically, mentally and spiritually strong,” said Picard, 17. “Where people have quit, I have overcome, pushing myself to perform my best, no matter how tired I am.” The Frontenac Secondary School student first tried martial arts four years ago. At the time, some of her family members were involved in the sport so she decided to give it a shot. She started with a Filipino style of martial arts known as “eskrima” or “arnis.” After she moved to Kingston five months later, she started her study of goju-ryu karate-do at Tallack Martial Arts. After a year, she attempted ju jitsu, kung-fu and kubudo to go with her karate training. Picard said she doesn’t prefer one style of martial arts over another. Picard said she is grateful to have found a supportive community at Tallack Martial Arts. “The instructors are generous and always willing to teach their knowledge,” she said. “It is easy to train with peers because there is no competition between anyone. We strive to help each other obtain our goals.” After several years of learning from excellent teachers, Picard is now in a position to pay it back. She assists with multiple classes with the participants ranging in age from four to 12 and skill level from beginner to advanced. She enjoys using the knowledge she has ac-
cumulated to help others achieve their goals. “When I teach, I have a sense of fulfillment,” Picard said. “Teaching others has been a great discovery. It built my people skills and I am certainly willing to share my knowledge with other people who love martial arts just as I do.” Picard admits some people just aren’t cut out for martial arts and end up quitting after a year. “Some people think there may be secrets of some sort to be able to fight, but they soon see there are no secrets. One must put forth the effort to attain the benefits of martial arts,” she said. That effort for Picard includes a lot of time at the dojo. She usually heads to Tallack Martial Arts after school every day and stays there until 9:30 p.m. Two and a half hours of that time is spent on her training and the other three hours she teaches. She also trains on Saturdays. “The highlight (of my martial arts career) has come in my training when I pushed myself that extra step and accomplished it,” she said. “I am not as fond of the competitions because I see martial arts as an individual practice. I go to competitions to help prepare for tests like my black belts grading that is coming up in June.” Picard is potentially testing for her black belt in goju-ryu karate, five animal style Kung Fu, and kobu-jitsu (study of weapons). This will be presented by master instructor Ken Tallack. Do you know a local athlete who should be profiled in our weekly High School Athlete of the Week feature?

Places to explore and things to experience
A grand performance By Mark Bergin Columnist
Gazette Lifestyle – On March 26, a Grand Theatre audience is in for a unique evening of music provided by more than 150 local high school students. The Regiopolis-Notre Dame (RND) Senior Concert Band and the Holy Cross Symphonic Band will be the first high school bands to perform in the renovated Grand Theatre. The superb acoustics offer the best environment for listening to these multiple awardwinning groups, which are ranked among the best in the province. Hugh Johnston, music teacher and conductor of the Regi band, came up with the idea last year. “I talked to the City last spring when we were going to play at Carnegie Hall in New York City,” said Johnston. “I thought of the Grand as a practice location that would give the students the chance to get used to a concert hall setting. But the cost was prohibitive.” Then Johnston decided to look at it as a performance site. He said he’d like to see young performers have more opportunities to use the Grand. “I thought both of the bands play concerts out of the country and in other
cities in nice concert halls. We should play a concert at our premier concert hall in Kingston so our fans and the parents can hear us at our best.” It finally came about and you can enjoy this fine music for a low ticket price of $10. As with other events hosted by the schools, great effort and preparation has gone into this performance. The Holy Cross band is conducted by the school’s music teacher, David Orser. Combined, the band members total more than 150. In the upcoming concert, each of the bands will perform individually, but the finale features a group performance of Amazing Grace. “When the two bands play Amazing Grace, it’s going to be a packed stage,” said Johnston. “We may have some musicians standing at the back. But the good thing about Amazing Grace is that at the start, there’s just solo sax with a small chamber group. So even though there are about 150 kids, it starts with ten and then builds.” Coordinating three or four musicians can be challenging; 150, mindboggling. “When one band is performing, the other group will be in the balcony,” said Johnston. “The logistical arrangement of getting 150 people set up on
stage for the last song, Amazing Grace, is complicated.” The bands have prepared separately until last week when they got together at Holy Cross for a joint rehearsal and to hear the advice and critique of adjudicators. The adjudication process is a realistic critique, not a bunch of compliments on what the band is doing well, although compliments are given out where there is exceptional merit. “It was helpful to hear from the adjudicators,” said Johnston. “We wanted the nit-pickiness. Most of the time what we hear are some compliments and some recommendations, but we needed to hear the real picky comments of the adjudicators at our joint rehearsal. They even broke it down to the precise level of bars in the music, so the kids knew exactly what an adjudicator was talking about when he said, ‘at bar 138’ and made comments about the section of music. When we go to festivals in the States, it’s much like that. They expect high standards. Their students start music in Grade 4 or 6. We don’t start until Grade 9. It is possible to get them to a really high level in a couple of years, but it takes a lot of work. A lot of detail goes into their preparation.”
Johnston believes that every student who wants to have a chance to learn music and perform should be given that opportunity. “My biggest philosophy is inclusion,” he said. “We want as many students in the band who want to be there to make nice music together. We don’t have an exclusive ensemble where we’ve skimmed off the top 60 per cent. Even if someone is not there yet in their skill, but we see their potential, we work to help them learn and improve.” He said that when the school’s Honours Band goes to festivals, the students who participate have to audition. “In the end, we may be missing an instrument, but we’ve all dealt with less than perfect ensembles,” said Johnston. “When these kids go out of their way to audition, we want them to have the chance, even if the ensemble is not perfect. If you are missing one tuba, life goes on. The kids get a chance to play.” Last year, the RND Senior Band performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City. They’ve performed at Orchestra Hall in Chicago in the Festival of Gold. In contrast, they have also been featured performers at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, where they played band arrangements of classic rock songs. In April, the RND band will travel to Washington where they will perform at Strathmore, the multi-disciplinary performing arts centre. Performances will include pieces by the band as well as the Honours Choir. “The day before, an adjudicator will spend an hour with us in a special clinic,” said Johnston. “He will take us through what he expects. It will be very educational for the band.” Hugh Johnston was last year’s recipient of the Juno’s MusiCounts Teacher of the Year Award, presented to him by Canadian musician
Mark Bergin
Johnny Reid during the Juno Awards in Ottawa. He was honored again at Regi, when the entire school got to meet Johnny Reid, who performed an acoustic set of his songs and honoured Johnston by bringing the MusiCounts Award to the school for a special presentation. “We’ve had good support in my 15 years at Regi,” said Johnston. “They allowed us to have a lot of success. We tend to keep getting good quality students and we are able to nurture them to try their best. Obviously, I’ve been blessed with some great events in my life in the last few years. I keep trying to create new things that are going to challenge me and show the world what our school can do while including as many students as possible.” The Holy Cross band has played in public schools in New York City’s Harlem, the United Nations in New York, downtown Disney in Orlando and at the Canadian Embassy in Washington. Now these bands are bringing their musical talent to the Grand Theatre. Their first run through of Amazing Grace as a collective group was high calibre. There’s still work to be done before the big concert night, but musicians are well on their way to providing a great evening of music. “Both bands have worked very hard,” said Johnston. “It was evident in the joint rehearsal. Both are playing very challenging repertoires. To be a good musician comes down to the nitty gritty details. A lot of these students just started last year and they’re in Grade 10. They are playing really hard music and they are doing a bang up job.” For tickets, visit the Grand Theatre box office in person at 218 Princess Street Monday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. and for two hours prior to the performance, by phone at 613530-2050, or online at www.kingstongrand.ca.

Much sadness in island community By Margaret Knott
but, this one is going to take a long time to get over.”
Gazette News – Visibly moved, Fr. Ray de Souza pastor of Wolfe Island’s Sacred Heart of Mary Church, celebrated the Funeral Mass for young wife and mother, Debra Anne (Greenwood) Knox (37) . Perhaps it was the sight of Debra’s large extended family, mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, her in-laws, and her many cousins seeking comfort through their faith at the church where Debra was baptized, that bought that lump to his voice. Or was it the sight of Debra Anne’s husband Shane , tears freely flowing, holding their children Caleb and Jocelyn in his arms? The church was filled to capacity with so many friends, neighbours and saddened islanders. All had come to be healed of their raw immediate grief, to hear a message of hope, to draw comfort from the Liturgy of the Mass, the words of Scripture, the music, and shared prayer and to support the family as they carried the body of their beloved daughter, wife ,mother and sister to the cemetery. In his homily, Fr. de Souza drew from the scripture reading of Saint Paul to Timothy, read at the Mass, which says “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.” He reminded us that when you enter a race you enter to win and to finish it. “Debra won her race but finished the race too soon.” Father de Souza spoke too of the prayer group that got together to pray for the sick and the positive impact of their prayers on the community, and especially for families of the sick. Fr. Granger from Kingston and Rev. Canon Chris Carr from WI’s Trinity Anglican were also in the sanctuary. Any one who knew Debra Anne loved her enthusiasm for life. Anyone who frequented her beauty shop heard only good things. And every story told about her speaks of her faith, her kindness, generous nature, love of family, sense of humour and pure heart. Her happiness revolved around husband and children, her large, extended island family of Greenwood’s and O’Shea’s, and Wolfe Island’s closely knit community. She will be missed. She will be remembered. But as one island resident put it, “We have had so many deaths and funerals this last while
Loss of Gas Pumps on Wolfe Island a problem Following the removal of the gas pumps at Mosier’s Garage on Wolfe Island due to their age, cost of replacement and environmental concerns, problems arose for gas and diesel users. Farmers, the Township, WI Wind Farm, Hulton’s, Roly’s and a number of individuals now have key lock tanks on their properties. The biggest losers are those who regularly bought gas at Mosier’s, and summer residents who want to fill up or buy gas for their equipment (lawn, tractors equipment, generators, etc) and for their boats.. A community meeting was organized by FCFDC with guest speaker Ross Christenson who brought ideas about solving the problem through the CO-Op approach, key lock options, commer-
cial enterprise etc. etc. “ This is an opportunity for a community to solve its own problems but you have to make sure the economics of moving forward makes sense, (capital, investment,), and there is enough long term interest. A committee was formed to further examine possibilities. The Committee (Jarda Zborobsky, Denis Chercuitte, Dave Woodman, absent Liz Crothers) reported to the community at a second meeting directed by Anne Pritchard. Jarda presented the results of a survey of 500 people which indicated that 57% bought gas where convenient spending $50.-$200, per month, then outlined certain options who have their own systems. Options included : * A full CO-OP with a convenience
store; full CO-OP with attendant; a card-lock system, all with significant costs. Issues such as funding , EA’s, safety, insurance, municipal code make even the latter option difficult to consider. Another suggestion was to mix a gas outlet with other small enterprises. The Township was also suggested as best suited to sell gas to the public . Mayor Doyle said no other Ontario municipality does this; there are different environmental laws. He added that consideration might be given to use of township land but no involvement in distribution. After much discussion, a new committee will gather to further
study options to bring gas for the public back to the island. Around town: Shore birds ,small birds and even swans are suffering in this cold weather . Raptors venture to feeding outlets to pluck up a small bird now and again. * The WI ferry is keeping well to its regular schedule in spite of heavy ice and ambulance calls. * Thanks to the WIPP for staying Open all winter. * The rink schedule continues. * Spring Will Come! * And once again we say good bye, and Thank You to Gordon Burns who filled in as CAO for Frontenac Islands these last few months. Its been a pleasure..

Extreme cold weather causes problems for maple syrup producers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but Maple Madness still going ahead as planned mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette News- Believe it or not, even the trees are frustrated with this neverending winter. The beginning of March usually brings with it the joy of maple syrup season in Ontario, but this year the extreme cold weather is delaying the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maple syrup production works best when there are plus temperatures during the day and freezing temperatures over night,â&#x20AC;? explained forestry expert and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professor Warren Mabee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This allows the sap to flow and that
certainly hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened this year. The season may end up being delayed significantly and then we are at risk of a really short season too.â&#x20AC;? All of this is bad news for producers of maple syrup. A shorter season means less volume, less work and less money. There is also the tourism aspect. Many Canadians look forward to maple syrup season and going out to a local farm to see how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made, sampling the fresh product and enjoying the experience. Here in Kingston, many people look forward to Maple Madness, the annual March break event at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area and over the
past week they have received countless phone calls asking if the events are still proceeding as normal. Rest assured, events are still going forward as planned, but things may be a bit different this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother nature is not really cooperating this year,â&#x20AC;? said Krista Fazackerley, who works in communications and marketing for the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tapped the trees because we are a demonstration centre, so we tap regardless.

For now, farmers will just have to settle for a later season and hope that Maple Madness will inspire Mother Nature to accelerate the process a little. Events run all week for Maple Madness (March 7-16) and Fazackerley encourages families to come check it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and people can come out and learn about male syrup and eat pancakes and see the evaporating house. It really is a lot of fun and really educational too. When we do have the sap flowing, we use it on the pancakes, but sadly that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like it will be happening this year, so we will have extra syrup on hand from a local farm. But who knows, maybe it will warm up just in time for Maple Madness.â&#x20AC;? For more information on the events that are happening during Maple Madness visit www.crca.ca.

ENCHANTÉ
Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world
Mark Bergin
May the road rise to meet you By Mark Bergin Columnist
Gazette Lifestyle - The week of the Irish is upon us. For many, that means revelry. For others, it’s a simpler celebration of all things Irish: Brendan Behan, James Joyce and other literary greats; Liam Neeson, Saoirse Ronan, Brian O’Byrne and the horde of Irish actors gracing the world’s stages and screens; Eithne Ní Bhraonáin (Enya), U-2, The Pogues and hundreds of other musicians; and thousands of arts and cultural events around the world. The Celtic thought process is not like that of the left-brain-dominant world. Irish thought resembles the Celtic knot, twisting and turning with a glorious lilt. And nowhere is that lilt more obvious than in the language. The Irish culture in which I grew up is based on language and storytelling. We listen to our parents, grandparents and favorite aunts and uncles telling us grand tales and elaborate jokes. But starting in the 17th century, our language was made illegal, banned. Speaking Irish could get you jail time and a good beating. A few other gems in the collection of England’s Irish Penal Laws included the Irish being banned from: public office; legal professions; teaching; holding firearms; buying land; and ownership of a horse valued at more than five British pounds. During a lengthy period in
the 18th century the Irish, barely being considered human, were not even allowed to vote. These laws were carefully crafted to harden the power and privilege of a class of English elite. Native Irish were reduced to a life of subsistence living. The last of the ways to oppress the Irish was the system of National Schools, created in 1831. Children were only taught in English. Any child caught speaking Irish suffered brutal punishment. And finally, an Gorta Mor (the Great Hunger) struck between 1846 and 1849. It is estimated that a third of the Irish population died, while beef and plentiful crops were shipped to England. The potato crops, on which native Irish depended for life, failed. The Irish Famine is one of the greatest lies ever written in history. Amidst food aplenty, the Irish died and were carted to mass graves in wooden carts. In the town of Skibbereen alone, a mass grave the size of a football field, covered in shamrocks, holds thousands of corpses from an Gorta Mor. Rebellion brewed in this background. It wasn’t until 1920, when much of the Republic of Ireland violently split from England, that Ireland became free of the last of the Penal Laws. At the middle of the 19th century, the majority of speakers in Ireland were still Gaelic. By the beginning
Tombstones in a memorial setting at Abbeystrewry Cemetery in Skibbereen, Ireland honoring those who died during an Gorta Mor (The Great Hunger). In just this one cemetery, 9000 coffinless and nameless corpses were buried in a mass grave. An Gorta Mor decimated the Irish-speaking population. Photos/Mark Bergin of the 20th century, the language had been decimated. However, pockets of Irish-only communities remained in more isolated areas of Ireland’s west
coast. Today, these regions, known as Gaeltachtaí, are expanding, thanks to a resurgence of the language and the fact that the Republic of Ireland is a
bilingual country that has schools offering Irish-immersion programs. Continued on page 21

With this historical background, it is little wonder that the Irish language contributions to English have been ignored in modern dictionaries. Most of the world’s English language dictionaries were first established in England. Since the Irish were considered lower than second-class citizens with about the same – or fewer – rights than animals, and the speaking of the Irish language was illegal, there was no way the creators of
dictionaries were going to consider that the Irish language influenced English. Until the past decade or so, no one knew the origins of many English words. Countless colorful English words and sayings can be traced to the Irish Gaelic language of our immigrant ancestors galore. And here we’ll start. The word galore, which, in English, means abundant or plentiful, hails from the Irish Gaelic term go leor (and the Scots Gaelic gu leòr), meaning abundant or a lot. The feminine pronoun she is consid-
Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world
ered in almost all dictionaries to be of unknown origin. When racist blinders are removed, it doesn’t take much research to discover that there might be a link to the Irish word sí, pronounced “she.” Sí is the third person feminine pronoun in Irish Gaelic. How about the word boycott? Not from the Irish language, but from an Irish act of rebellion. Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott was an English land agent in Ireland. In 1880, the oppressive and cruel landlord was the recipient of Irish tactics.

Boycott’s tenants withdrew their labor in an uprising against him. Then there’s the vulgar calling of someone you don’t like an a--hole. Here again, there is an Irish origin that has nothing to do with the lower end of the digestive tract. The Irish word for donkey is asal and it’s a common insult in Irish to call someone a donkey. By the mid-19th century, millions of Irish left the country for other lands like North America, Australia and New Zealand. Their language accompanied them. Thousands of words remain listed as “origin unknown” in English language dictionaries, simply because the Irish language as a source is ignored. Here are some examples. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) notes that the words snaz/ snazz and snazzy mean polish, gloss, elegance, style and so on, yet they are listed as “origin unknown.” However, the Irish word snas (pronounced snas or snaz) means polish, gloss, elegance, style. The connection, although ignored by dictionary linguists, is glaring. Here are a few more. The word slum has an Irish source: slom, meaning an exposed, vulnerable place, an impoverished place, a poor life. The same goes for the English word scam; the Irish word scam means deceit or trick. Helter skelter in English means in defiance of order. The Irish words áilteoir scaoilte mean a runamok clown or a wild prankster. The word scram, our English word for get away or leave hastily can be traced to the Irish scaraim, meaning “I get away,” “I escape,” or “I depart.” Irish culture’s storytelling heavily influences music, song lyrics, melodies and the vernacular of musicians. Even
Mark Bergin
the word jazz, which typically is listed as “source unknown,” has been traced to the Irish language. The early spelling of jazz was jass. The word now describes an African-American style of music. In its early usage, it meant passion, heat, something or someone hot or exciting, and also referred to sex. The first known use of the word was the Original Dixieland Jass Band, which comprised Irish, Sicilian and other workingclass lads from New Orleans. The word “jass,” to describe a certain style of music, traveled from New Orleans to the redlight districts of San Francisco, Chicago and New York. This hot, passionate new music took on the label of jass music, and it wasn’t long before it was relabeled as jazz (“z” seeming more exotic). But its first use was back in New Orleans by the Jass Band with the Irish musicians saying the Irish word teas, which, you guessed it, is pronounced “jass/jazz”. In other words, this early band in New Orleans was simply using an Irish word of the streets, jass, to describe their music: passionate, hot, exciting. For those interested in exploring the impact of the Irish language on English a couple of good books with which to start are Daniel Cassidy’s How The Irish Invented Slang: The Secret Language of the Crossroads (Counter Punch, 2007) and Loreto Todd’s Green English: Ireland’s Influence on the English Language (Irish Books and Media, 1999). Happy Day (and week) of the Irish. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

Gazette Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mistaken identities, love affairs and slapstick comedy: these are the elements that audiences can expect to see in Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Dress for Dinner. The play is a farce comedy by Marc Camoletti and is a favorite of new director Kyle Holleran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a play that I put forward to Blue Canoe a few months ago and they gave me the go ahead and I am so happy to be directing it,â&#x20AC;? said Holleran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like the author, Marc Camoletti. In a couple of his farces he uses the same kind of stock characters and throws them into different situations and I really like that and his style of writing. Farces are my favorite kind of play and I have always wanted to direct one, so I think this was a good starting point for me.â&#x20AC;? Holleran is a third year drama student at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and just recently directed his first full length play, the Nightmare Before Christmas, for Blue Canoe. This time around, he has taken on something a bit more challenging, but Holleran is looking forward to seeing the finished product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a very quick paced show and a lot of it is playing on words and playing on language and en-

trances and exits, so it has been a bit challenging just working with everyone and making sure that we can keep the pace in the show going. The show really relies on everyone playing off of one another at a really fast pace and coordinating it all has been a bit of a struggle but working with everyone in the cast has been so great.â&#x20AC;? The challenge is certainly being felt by lead actors Sara Chiodo and Brent Gorrie. Both actors have never performed in anything like this and while the challenge is welcome, the play has been difficult to master at times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of things going on and it really is a crazy setting with all of it taking place in basically one room throughout the play,â&#x20AC;? explained Chiodo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really challenging getting the one-word lines to flow properly with three people on stage. The pacing of the show is also really fast so that makes it challenging too.â&#x20AC;? For Gorrie, who loves comedies, the play has also been a lot of fun and a great intro into a lead acting role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love comedies. I love them because you get to be really physical and make the audience laugh and that is really empowering as an actor. The entire situation of the play is also really fun to be part of. The play is so absurd and off the wall in terms of the situation and that makes it so fun to be part of and watch.â&#x20AC;? Overall, despite the challenges, Holleran is really happy with how

the play has come together and he hopes that people will come out and enjoy a night of comedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want everyone to have fun with it, that is my main goal. I just
want to put on a play that will make people laugh.â&#x20AC;? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Dress for Dinner is playing at the Domino Theatre, 52 Church St. from March 13-15. Tickets are
available at 613-530-2050, the Grand Theatre box office or at the door on show nights. Tickets are $18 for Adults, $15 for Students/ Seniors.
Actors in the play Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Dress for Diner rehearse a rather fast-paced scene in which multiple affairs, mistaken identities and comedy are all a part of. The play runs at the Domino from March 13-15. Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

Food Bank receives a very generous and much needed donation By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette News – Spring isn’t generally considered the “season of giving”, but for the Kinsmen group in Kingston it certainly is. After a very successful Dream Home Lottery campaign last year, the Kinsmen decided to donate to a number of community groups. “We has enormous success last year with the lottery and we generated approximately $250,000 in profit that we turn around and put back into the community,” explained Ryan Hanes, vice president of the Kinsmen Club in Kingston
and chair of the Dream Home Lottery program. “We put every extra cent back into helping the community and different groups. As a club, we chose a number of initiatives and charities that we were passionate about and allocated funds for each.” One very appreciative group is the Partners in Mission Food Bank which received a $20,000 donation from the Kinsmen - a donation that will help supply fresh meat products for hamper clients over the next two years. “It was kind of unexpected certainly,” said Sandy Singers, executive director of the Partners in
Mission Food Bank. “We received a donation a few years ago that was very similar from the Kinsmen and we are so appreciative that they want to help us out.” Last year, Partners in Mission put out over 11,000 hampers and Singers has seen that number climb each year since 2008. The food bank generally focuses on supplying those in need with non-perishable items, but Singers hopes that more and more fresh products can be incorporated in the coming years. “Every food bank struggles with supplying fresh food. The process we have created in food banking is for mainly non-perishable food just
because it is easy for the food bank to collect and transport. We have the facilities to hold refrigerated and frozen products and that helps us a lot in terms of being able to receive food offers that come from larger suppliers. This also allows us the opportunity to share fresh products with hot food programs in the city too. Last year, we moved about 50,000 pounds of food to those other agencies.” Periodically, donations are also made from corporate groups and commercial suppliers, but those are often random and unpredictable. The food bank uses donations like the one from the Kinsmen club to
fill in the gaps. From the Kinsmen perspective, they just want to give back and help groups that are in line with their own motto. “The Kinsmen have supported the food bank for a long time and our motto is serving the communities greatest needs and I think the food bank is definitely in line with that motto too,” added Hanes. “The work they do is really important and they help people that really need assistance and we want to support that. Hopefully the lotteries keep producing great results and we can continue to serve the community each year.”

Phantom’s power holds In spite of Depression there were still many treats to be had local filmmaker’s imagination captive hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Gazette News - When local filmmaker Anthony D.P. Mann was introduced to the story of The Phantom of the Opera as a child, he knew he had discovered a literary kindred spirit. “I was nine years old when the original London cast album came out,” he recalls. “I was the short little fat kid and I had a lot of friends in school, but I always felt like a bit of an outsider. I could relate to the phantom because he’s this character who has so much to offer, but because of his own physical deficiencies he can’t have what he really, really wants.” Mann says that he listened to the LP repeatedly throughout his youth. “That did two things. First of all it got me really hooked on that story, and it turned me into a musical theatre fan at nine years old. All my friends were listening to AC/ DC and Run-DMC in high school and here I was belting Lloyd Webber down the hallways.” Now, Mann has made his own film version of The Phantom of the Opera, which premieres April 12 in London, Ont. at the Shock Stock festival. Mann adapted and directed the film himself, and also plays the title role. While it does contain some original music, also written by Mann, he doesn’t describe it as a musical. “I think Phantom has become very much associated with the Lloyd Webber musical. I love the story so much and I love the musical, so I’m stepping back from that because that’s a masterpiece. You don’t want to ever step on its feet because comparisons will be immediate, and how can you top that show?” Instead, Mann’s Phantom begins with a modern-day ghost hunting show visiting an old theatre to film a documentary about the legend of the phantom of the opera. The story as we know it – of a tortured “phantom” who lives in an opera house and tries unsuccessfully to win the heart of a young singer, Christine - unfolds through flashbacks to the 1930s, and links up with a girl who could be the reincarnation of Christine in the present day. “I think what we’re doing celebrates more the cinematic history of Phantom of the Opera, with an emphasis on the Universal films from ‘43 and ’62. They’re very much dark thrillers,” Mann says, explaining that there have been a number of film adaptations of Phantom since the first silent version in 1925. “There are so many variations on the
Anthony D.P. Mann
theme of Phantom of the Opera, but there are some steadfast elements that certainly shine though in ours.” In Mann’s version, everything takes place in the fictional New England town of Garnier – a nod to Paris’ Garnier Opera House, where the original story of the phantom is set; however, it was filmed right here in Kingston at Queen’s Convocation Hall using local actors. Many of the actors, including Sherri Paterson, Terry Wade and Ilke Hincer, have worked with Mann on past projects such as Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and Ghostkeepers. “Kingston has this amazing wealth of talent,” Mann notes. “They’re local talent but they are the real deal. They’ve honed their skills and they’ve become film actors with legitimate IMDB credits.” Like Mann’s previous films, Phantom was produced by New England-based producer Bill Bossert and will be distributed by the Hollywood company Reality Entertainment, allowing the movie to be available on DVD in stores everywhere, as well as through on-demand packages. “For the most part, everyone knows we’re doing these in Kingston but Kingston,” Mann laughs, noting that he feels extremely fortunate to be able to make money doing what he loves. “I couldn’t believe we got through film number one, then two, three and now four. I can’t believe that I still get to make films.” And things just keep on getting better. Recently, Mann signed a deal with BearManor, a US-based publisher, to write two books: a guide on how to write an indie screenplay, as well as a memoir of his personal journey into filmmaking. Mann remarks that all the success with filmmaking and writing is very exciting, but in a way it’s also rather unexpected. “I was supposed to be working on stage. When I was a kid I always wanted to be in musicals. I never thought I’d be a filmmaker. But it’s all about storytelling for me, and sometimes the best way to be able to tell the stories you want to tell is to pick up a pen and write a script. Pick up a camera, learn how to shoot something, and then produce and distribute.” Directly following the London premiere of The Phantom of the Opera, Mann is organizing a gala screening in Kingston at the Cineplex Odeon. The film will then run locally at The Screening Room. To keep updated or to learn more about Anthony D.P. Mann, visit www. anthonydpmann.com.

Gazette Lifestyle - Goodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on! Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money. “There is no money for such frivolities!” And how often were we told “Eat every last scrap on your plate...if you don’t you were taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian!” I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure that they lived in Arnprior! Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money, and wasn’t absolutely necessary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. And yet, we had what I called treats aplenty back in the 30’s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling outside rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house. Often it was a popper full of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Sometimes it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious. And if I had stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willy-nilly...in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It was a big glass of molasses, water and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. It fizzed up, often pouring out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night, of course, because the result of this special treat was many trips to the outside privy!! My sister Audrey called it “our winter clean out,” but to me, it was a treat. And then there was oven toast. How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top of the stove, over hot coals. Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “who would like a piece of oven toast?”, we all squealed with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove, and put everything into the hot oven. The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and I thought it was the most delicious treat Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fingers. The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until it was crisp, but not letting it brown. She knew just how to manage it all in right order, and there wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious before-bed treat than oven toast. There always seemed to be lots of home-made bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we five kids were forever fighting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point where Mother had us draw straws for this treat. And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course, and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into little squares before piling them on a dinner plate in the middle of the table, moving the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would vanish in minutes, and
harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fingers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store! I shared a special treat with my beloved sister Audrey, that no one else in the family seemed to relish. When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dugout cellar for a meal, and the pits were all that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-hammer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton couch near the Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were store-bought candy! Even my hateful brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits! Those long ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long before cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

we would head off to bed with sugar-filled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy. My sister Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at the table and listen to her slap the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water. It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill. When she wasn’t looking, I would go out to the summer kitchen where the pie plate of fudge was sitting, and press my finger into it, just to make sure it was hardening. If Audrey noticed the finger marks, she said nothing. That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in his own activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into little squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold. Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big flat pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow”, a special treat on a Saturday night, or Sunday afternoon. Mother of course, made sure the snow brought in from outside was nowhere near the barn yard, and well away from the house. Heaven forbid that a stray animal had put a foot within a county mile of the snow my brother brought in in the big roast pan! And the hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, let

Pulse All-Star Cheerleading hopes to continue winning all the way to Nationals By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage News – Members of the Pulse All-Star cheerleading club certainly had something to cheer about on March 2; the club sent all five of their
all-star teams to the Provincial Championships and all five teams came home with first place awards. “We won everything and that was so amazing for us,” exclaimed owner of Pulse, Shari Doherty. “All of them came in first and we received a few spe-
cialty awards too, including one called the ‘squeaky clean award’. There were over 300 teams at the competition and one of our teams received the award for having the cleanest performance. That was really exciting. Our “minis” also received the highest score for their

entire division.” The results are pretty impressive for a cheerleading club that has only been around for three years. Doherty, who owns the club with her husband, attributes all of the success of Pulse to her two head coaches, Claire Running and Tara Timmins. “It has been so great over these past few years and these girls are just amazingly talented. They are the magic of this club and they really make everything happen. They had both coached at Holy Cross for a very long time and they both cheered there as athletes when they were students and now they are using that talent and knowledge to build Pulse.” Along with their five all-star teams, Pulse also runs a recreational team and coaches the Frontenac Fury, a dance/cheer support team for the Kingston Frontenacs. Running and Timmins coach all of the teams and nothing brings them more joy than seeing the teams succeed and progress over the years. “I love watching my athletes succeed. I am always so excited for them and I just lose my mind, I really can’t control my excitement for them,” explained Running. “I know how hard they’ve worked for it and we’ve been in the gym every week with them and when they get on the mat and they execute it and they hit it, I just can’t explain that feeling. It is absolutely overwhelming.”
Pulse is also unique in its approach to building cheer teams. The club does not hold tryouts. They accept anyone who wants to cheer. “We have team placements and we have everyone come during placement week. We place participants with others who have similar skills, similar experience levels and similar ages. We have never turned away an athlete that wants to cheer and we never will. That makes us even more proud when they succeed because it shows us that we can achieve that level of success with anyone. We have so many kids that have never cheered before and we have gotten them to that level.” The formula is obviously working and Pulse’s all-star teams will be moving on to National Championships in April. Last year, their senior team became National Champions for the first time and Running is hoping to add even more banners to their wall of wins this year. “Hopefully there will be many more National banners up on our wall soon. Now we are really getting noticed by other clubs and people are seeing that we are a force in the cheerleading competition world. I’m so excited for what the future holds for us and seeing how far these athletes can go.” For more information on Pulse All-Star Cheerleading, visit their website at www.pulseallstar.com

Citizens Police Academy returns for a fourth season in Kingston By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette News – If you have ever wondered how police procedures like forensic analysis and K9 searches are actually performed, then the Citizens Police Academy is definitely for you. The program was started in Kingston in 2011 and Constable Terri Kennedy immediately took on the task of organizing and planning the program each year. “I organize all of it, right from getting the applications out to receiving them back, doing background checks on those who apply, sending out acceptance letters and then organizing the actual classes and arranging to have speakers come in,” explained Kennedy. “I think it is a
great opportunity for police to share with the community what they do and that is why I get involved with it each year.” This year, the Academy begins April 3 and runs until May 14. The class is structured as an interactive information sharing evening, similar to a night class and runs from 6 - 8 p.m. The goal is to teach community members as much as possible about their police force in that time and to do so, guest speakers from different sectors are brought in weekly. “Over the weeks, the class will hear from different units like our K9 unit, forensics, traffic and patrol divisions and then with that we also provide opportunities to go into different divisions,” added Kennedy. “We take the class into the forensics lab and show them how to
take a finger print or how we analyze fluids. Last year, with our K9 division, one of the participants actually participated in a tracking exercise with one of the dogs here on the grounds of the station. We do tours of the station and take them through a typical police car and we just try to provide as much information as possible.” Because of the interactive nature of the course, spaces are limited. Kennedy has been flooded with applications for this year already, but explained that she can only accept 30-35 people. This smaller number allows the group to move throughout the station with ease and also enables participants to ask questions throughout the sessions without taking up too much time.
“It is surprising how quickly two hours goes by when you have community people that are engaged with the presenter and the presenter is engaged with them and they are receiving so much information and asking questions, the time just flies by,” added Kennedy. The program has been a huge success in the past and Kennedy even gets requests from people who want to come back and take it again. Although this isn’t possible, Kennedy encourages past students to recommend the course to family or friends and really help spread the word. The course, she feels, really helps the community better understand the police force and if that knowledge can be spread around, it will only produce positive results.
“Each participant gets something different out of the class, but what I want to see is that they are being educated and that they are taking some knowledge home with them, whether it is one small thing or 10 things, I just want them to learn while they are here,” added Kennedy. “They also get to know their police service and get a feel for us. They may never encounter us on the street, but at least they will know a bit more about us and what we are doing to serve Kingston.” Application forms for the Citizens Police Academy can be picked up at the front desk of the Kingston Police station at 705 Division St. or can be submitted electronically by going to the official website at www.kpf.ca

OUT STANDING IN OUR FIELD
Aric McBay
Making a living isn’t just about the bottom line By Aric McBay Columnist
“Did you hear the one about the farmer who won the lottery?” dairy farmer Dianne Dowling asks. It’s a favourite joke of hers. “They asked him, ‘What are you going to do with your winnings?’ He answered: ‘Why, I’m going to farm until it’s all gone!’” It’s perfect farming joke; it combines a farmer’s persistence and hard
work with a pinch of gallows humour. The idea that a person would need win the lottery to afford to keep farming is not entirely silly. Net farm incomes have been on the decline for nearly half a century. In the past decade the average Canadian farm has had a negative net income (accounting for depreciation). This means that farms either subsidize themselves through off-farm income (like having one spouse work in town), or they put off maintenance
and upkeep, allowing their equipment and infrastructure to slowly fall apart. Sometimes it’s both. This fact is a major reason the average farmer in Canada is in their midfifties. Young people want an occupaThere’s tion that’s going to pay them, not the other way around. There are exceptions to the trend, of course. There are farms that have a positive net income. And those farms are a window into the future.

Dairy farms (such as ours) are in general the most financially stable. There’s a simple reason for that: supply management, the eminently sensible idea that farmers should produce the same amount of food as people actually want to eat. (Egg and poultry farms, which also benefit from supply management, rank second for net income.) Most of the loss in net farm income can be traced to one trend: the vertical, corporate integration of our food system. The vast majority of companies that make up our food system — from seed and agrochemical businesses to distribution firms to grocery stores — are now owned by a handful of corporations.

Because of their corporate leverage they can squeeze farmers at both ends, hiking the prices for farm inputs while minimizing prices for farm products. If you buy a box of breakfast cereal, the farmer who produces the corn or other commodities receives only a few cents; the rest of the money goes to the other companies along the chain. For our farm’s vegetable operation, the way around this problem is simple. We don’t sell commodities. We sell food. We use the community shared agriculture model. Each spring people buy a “membership” in the farm, like a vegetable subscription, and receive a box of vegetables once a week through the growing season. The people who eat our food are not “customers.” They are members. They value healthy, fresh, local food. They visit the farm for special events and sometimes work bees. They want to be part of a community that understands that ethicallyproduced food is important and that people should be able to make a living producing it. Part of the reason the CSA works is because it operates on a cost-ofproduction basis. We don’t try to produce food and then price it as low as possible to beat out other farmers. We are open with our members about how much things cost to produce, and at the end of the season they each get a report detailing how much we spent on what. Every March we open memberships up to new members, who buy a weekly vegetable share. They pay on a sliding scale, meaning people who have more money can choose to pay more and subsidize those with lower incomes. We want to make good food as affordable as possible. For us, making a living doesn’t just mean staring at the bottom line, or trying to race other farmers to the lowest price. It means looking at the big picture. We make a living because we bring the community to the farm, and the farm to the community. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. He lives and works at a mixed family farm with a dairy herd and a vegetable operation. For more about the vegetable CSA and getting a membership, visit rootradicalrows.com.
