Gazette News — South Frontenac Council endorsed a resolution by the Township of Madawaska Valley calling for a moratorium on the erection of cell phone towers everywhere in Canada at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham.

Coun. Del Stowe was the driving force behind the endorsement, saying that while he’s not against towers per se, he is strongly concerned about how towers can be erected without the consent of adjacent landowners and/or the municipality.

“I know of one tower in the city (Kingston) that went up right next to somebody’s home,” Stowe said.

“They wake up every morning and have to look at it.”

The Madawaska motion takes several avenues in its opposition to the way cell phone tower construction is currently regulated.

“Whereas, the Council of the Township of Madawaska Valley has heard the concerns of their residents regarding the blanketing of cell towers throughout the municipality with no regard to proximity to inhabited private property . . . .” the motion begins.

The two-page motion goes on to accuse current practices of being “undemocratic” in that there is no debate allowed, only a requirement to “communicate” with area residents and questions the lack of “impact studies” on what the Council sees as potential health risks and asking that the federal Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 be reexamined with cell phone technology in mind.

“Safety Code 6 is some thirty years old, has never really been updated, and does not consider the non-thermal biological effects of the radiation emitted by cell antennas,” it said.

It also suggests alternatives, such as fibre optic cable and goes on to say that “Madawaska Valley will withhold concurrence for any new cell tower placements until such time as they are provided with conclusive proof that each new cell tower location requested is critical to providing the service, is not located in close proximity to inhabited private property and will be equipped with fibre optic cable only.”

It then goes on to ask municipalities for support and said that the resolution will be sent to their MP Cheryl Gallant, the CRTC, Transport Canada, the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

“In all likelihood, they (government regulatory bodies) won’t even read it but we have to say something,” Stowe said. “We all want cell service but we need more thought about how these things affect people’s lives and that they have no say about that.”

CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said there is a process in place whereby the businesses erecting towers are required to “hold a town hall meeting” with residents but municipalities have no say in the matter.

“It’s not under our jurisdiction,” he said.

SHS wraps up marathon month

By Mandy Marciniak

I did.�

Teachers also participated and some took time out of their classes to do a route with their students. English also made sure to keep the momentum going by giving the kids some context in terms of the distance they had travelled as a school. “Through social media I’ve been updating the kids and the school about how we are doing. By the second week they had essentially travelled from Ottawa to Florida and as of May 28 they had travelled from Ottawa to Sydenham High School students gathered on the front lawn of the school for May

As a reward for their participation, the school held a May Madness event on May 30 with bouncy castles, karaoke and different games that could all be enjoyed on an extended lunch hour. While the students clearly didn’t need an incentive to participate, they were happy to enjoy the day and take in the benefits of their hard work. “We are really proud of our students,� said Principal Jessica Silver. “This day is both a reward and an acknowledgement that the school Take a short drive down the 401 to Shannonville to save on year is almost over. We’re almost there!�

Frontenac Gazette News – Running a marathon is certainly a challenge, especially for a high school student, but over the past month, Sydenham High School students have completed more than 80 marathons.

The challenge originated with the new addition to the school and its corresponding Live W.E.L.L. (Work, Exercise, Love and Learn) motto. Students have been participating in yoga classes, strength training exercises, drama workshops and nutrition classes since the beginning of the semester when the new addition was completed and May Marathon was just another way of encouraging students to be more active. “The May Marathon was another opportunity for students to take part in a unified challenge,� explained teacher Bryan English. “We have a route that we do during gym classes called the graveyard and it basically takes them through town and around the graveyard and it happens to be 2.5 kilometers. So we challenged students to do as many of those routes in a month as they could to see how many marathons we could complete.�

Students completed graveyard runs “FINALLY! A BRA that offers comfort before, after, or during the school day and some even took time out of and support without underwires!� their lunch break to complete a route.

Dawson’s 10th book, A Tale of Cobalt, not likely to be his last

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — At age 81, artist-musician-songwriter-poet-author Dave Dawson shows no sign of slowing down. “I said this was going to be my last book — and that was three books ago,� he said.

His latest book, a 482-pager, is called A Tale of Cobalt and other poems and ballads that tell the story is his 10th book of poetry. It contains 40 new poems/ballads as well as some previously published material that fits the category. “There’s one piece about Stompin’ Tom Connors,� Dawson said. “I knew him personally and started it before he died. “I finished it the week he passed.�

Dawson said he found Connors interesting for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that he was “unique� in the way he went about things but also because it was a hard

life for Connors early on and that’s something he could relate to. “If Connors hadn’t had a hard life in the beginning, he wouldn’t have turned out the way he did,� Dawson said. “I grew up in Quebec but left home at age 12 after dad lost his cows to TB. “It really affected him.�

Dawson said he worked on area farms for room and board while he finished school. “I’m not sorry about that because it made me who I am.�

Who he is, is a virtual artistic machine after retiring from a long career in railroads and telecommunications.

He’s painted an art store’s worth of works, on canvas, milk cans paddles and old guitars. He’s recorded 10 albums of original songs plus two albums of “train songs.�

He still performs live (“I love to sing�) and between it all finds time to write his poems. “I call myself a ‘versifier,’ not a poet,� he said. “Everything rhymes

(like his poetic heroes Robert Service and Dr. Henry Drummond). “The title (of this book) comes from an old hotel in Cobalt that they tore down,� he said. “They didn’t have to tear it down when they built the Lower Notch dam in North Cobalt but they did. “Service recorded the history of the north, Drummond the history of the Habitants and I want to do some of that too.�

Unlike most driven artistic types, Dawson is pretty sure he knows why he does it. “I wrote a poem called ‘Leaving Something Behind,’� he said. “I think we all want to exercise the creative energy within us. “And even though I’ve done pretty much everything I wanted to do, if you’re still walking around upright, your mission isn’t done.�

Dawson’s latest book, as well as his other endeavours, can be purchased Dave Dawson sits in his studio off Road 509 with his new book, A Tale of directly from the artist by calling 613- Cobalt and his constant companion, Bruno.

Agriculture themes dominate candidates debate in Verona

ued, more agriculture-related themes emerged, from selling farmland to developers to wind and solar mega-operations to closure of the Kemptville University of Guelph program.

Many of the responses from the candidates were philosophical but there were some exceptions.

Mather advocated a system whereby schools and hospitals would be required to buy 40 per cent of their foodstuffs from local producers. Parkhill suggested reviving local abbatoirs.

Then, a familiar theme of this and the previous campaign re-emerged, with Mc- From left, PC candidate Randy Hillier, Green Party candidate Cam Mather, NDP candidate Donald and Hillier engaging Dave Parkhill, Liberal candidate Bill McDonald at the all-candidates debate in Verona last in a heated exchange after week.

Photo/Craig Bakay Hillier said: “there is a consequence to supply commodity management . . . we need to sit down and discuss the pros and cons.”

“Randy stood up in the legislature and called supply management a ‘cartel.’” McDonald said.

“I didn’t say that at all,” Hillier said. “Be honest for a CARS PRICE change, be honest.”

Frontenac Stewardship Foundation wants community members to learn more about water mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – Water is something that we all take for granted every day, but do we truly understand how water shapes us and how we shape water? A new documentary called Watermark: One Epic Journey aims to answer that question.

The film was created by award winning filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal, Nick de Pencier and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky. It highlights diverse stories about our relationship with water – how we are drawn to it, how we use it, and the consequences of that use.

In an effort to connect these concepts locally, the Frontenac Stewardship Foundation is hosting a screening of the film on June 17 at the Kingston Cineplex.

“The documentary is meant to raise awareness and not to reprimand,” explained Bret Colman, Chair of the Frontenac Stewardship Foundation. “It is not a how-to type of documentary and it isn’t about how to improve water quality. It is just a number of different stories that relate to how we as a global community are connected to water and the importance of water.”

The foundation has also teamed up Friends of the Salmon River and the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds for the screening. All three are volunteer groups who work at sustaining natural resources, preserving watersheds and informing communities. Colman hopes that the film makes a lasting impact on residents.

“The imagery is impactful and it is a thoughtful film, so I would encourage people to come and really think about the importance of water and water conservation and how we are all linked to it and how our local eco systems here are linked to it,” said Colman. “Maybe it will make people think twice about dumping leftover bait in a lake or think twice about dumping paint down a drain.

We want people to think about what they are wasting and about their relationship with water.”

The screening is also an awareness event for the foundation itself.

The group is coming off of a brief hiatus and has recently gone from being a group that was funded by the Ministry of Natural Resources to a charitable foundation.

“This is a chance to show the community what we’re all about,” added Colman, who also points out that this subject matter is especially relevant for Frontenac given the number of lakes in the county, “We have 480 lakes and we really need to be concerned about what we are doing to them.”

Following the screening there will be a discussion about the film. Col-

man hopes that residents will talk about their impressions and feelings about the film and maybe even offer suggestions to the foundation about how to move forward.

“We want to know how it makes them feel about their personal connection to water. We also want to know where people see a need to make changes and how they want the foundation to help out with those changes. We want to ensure that our connection to local water is strong and that we are able to keep a healthy environment.”

Watermark: One Epic Journey will be shown on Thursday, June 19 at 7 p.m. at the Kingston Cineplex at 626 Gardiners Road.

Tickets will be available at the door for $10.

••• South Frontenac intends to devote more resources to partially maintained roads following a report from Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth.

Segsworth presented a list of 42 roads that are currently partially maintained by the Township, adding that this additional maintenance plan would cost “less than $10,000” and that there are sufficient funds remaining in the budget for it.

“Some residents have been requesting the Towsnhip to increase the level of maintenance on certain roads that are currently only receiving partial maintenance,” he said.

“An inventory of the roads has been compiled (and) it is our intention to develop criteria to determine which of these road sections warrant a higher level of service.”

Gazette News — There will be no more exemption requests considered concerned the Sydenham water system, following passage of a bylaw to that effect at South Frontenac’s regular Council meeting last week in Sydenham.

The measure was debated and direction given to staff to create the bylaw at the previous week’s committee of the whole meeting.

CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr acknowledged that there were claims from some residents that their request for an exemption was not heard but said “there was a blanket request letter with maybe 50 signatures of which three were granted.”

But, he said, staff can find no records to confirm or deny that there were still unconsidered requests for exemption.

The bylaw states that any exemption requests made under bylaws 2002-98 and 2008-63 will be “considered denied.”

The measure passed 7-1, with Coun. Al McPhail abstaining. Mayor Gary Davison was absent from the meeting.

make sure that the barriers on the seasonally maintained road were “rigid enough to ensure that people don’t just drive around them.”

“We’re spending about $3,000 on the barriers because we had similar concerns,” said Segsworth.

Segsworth said he didn’t know how long the road would be out of service but “I would think realistically we should have a report back for the July 8 (Council) meeting.”

Hey people, today is voting day, get out there and mark a ballot Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column — Well, it’s voting day. It’s not often a writer of weekly faire gets to write something that will be published on a particular day, so why not eh?

Actually, because of the constraints of weekly newspaper production, columns and such have to be written in advance of the publication day but since this year’s provincial election isn’t likely to change much between this writing and voting day, I’d like to make a few bold predictions.

Well, just one actually.

And that is: nothing’s going to change.

That’s right folks, we’re predicting a Liberal minority in which Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington incumbent Randy Hillier retains his seat with Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition.

Last time around, with 89,150 eligible voters in LFL&A, there were 44,962 voters turned out. Of those, 157

rejected, didn’t mark or destroyed their ballots.

Hillier won comfortably with 50.1 per cent of the vote (22,457 votes), Liberal Bill McDonald came second with 27.8 per cent (12,490 votes), NDPer Dave Parkhill got 18 per cent (8,104 votes) and Green Nancy Matte got 3.9 per cent of the vote (1,754 votes).

The only thing that will change drastically is that Matte won’t get any votes this time because she isn’t running. Cam Mather is hoisting the Green flag this time around and might pick up a few more votes from the backto-the-earth/ex-hippie crowd around Sharbot Lake but the Green Party still has only ever elected one person to public office in Canada and that’s not likely to change after today.

Parkhill might pick up a few more votes this time due to increased name recognition from having run last time, but don’t expect him to make many inroads either.

Most of the votes these two pick up will come at the expense of McDonald, who despite working hard, has had an uphill battle to fight both times.

While it’s probably unrealistic to expect Hillier to again take more than

half the votes, the fact is, he has a constituency that the others lack. His back-off-government/we-have-toomany-regulations tune plays well with a lot of people in the area and given the lack of a real issue in this campaign, it’s not looking good for McDonald.

If you want to prove me wrong, get out there and vote. ••• Under the heading of no-good-deedgoes-unpunished, a column I wrote a couple of weeks ago mentioned that I was lending a buddy my mother’s wheelchair. I figured I’d keep his name out of it in an effort to preserve his dignity in some small measure.

So imagine my surprise when I got a phone call saying in no uncertain terms “you cost me cookies!�

It seems that the Mad Heelander was upset because he figured name recognition would net him bags of sympathy cookies, which, in anonymity, he did not receive.

So, if you know Ray Fletcher, take him a bag of cookies, would you please?

The old bugger still has a few days before he gets the cast off his foot and cookies would go a long ways towards brightening his demeanor apparently . . . and getting him off my back.

could not pay me enough money to do something like that.

I’m also not a hug fan of wildlife.

I enjoy bird watching and the sound of the loons calling on a lake, but snakes scare me and insects freak me out, especially ones with lots of legs.

Mosquitoes and black flies love to bite me, no matter how much bug spray I put on myself.

So needless to say, my current living situation has been a bit of a challenge.

The first time Korey took me to his family’s cottage I thought he was taking me into the woods to kill me.

The cottage is really isolated, about three kilometres into the woods on a gravel road. At that time it was a nice place, but it had an Envirolet toilet, which is basically a hole in the ground with some peat moss. It did not have a shower - you simply bathed in the lake. It wasn’t ideal but it was still a beautiful spot and had a lot of other amenities including a beautiful lake and lots of tranquility.

Changes have been made to the cottage over the years, and by the time Korey moved to Kingston to pursue his PhD, the cottage had a working shower and a modern toilet. These additions Vice President & Regional Mike Mount made it easier for mePublisher to move into and mmount@perfprint.ca honestly our living situation couldn’t

Gazette Editorial - I’ve never been a huge fan of the outdoors. I enjoy sitting out in the sun reading or tanning or lounging by a pool, but when it comes to things like hiking, fishing or even camping, count me out. Even when I was a child and was in Girl Guides, I never enjoyed camping. I hated sleeping in a tent on the hard ground and then waking up in the morning feeling damp from the dew outside. I preferred the trips where we stayed in a cabin or even a trailer, but they still weren’t something I looked forward to.

I am completely like my mother in this respect. Her idea of ‘roughing it’ is staying in a hotel, but my father is the total opposite. He inherited a fishing camp from my grandfather and twice a year he drives 14 hours north to a camp that is only accessible by boat.

It has no electricity or running water or plumbing. He goes up there for a week with three or four friends and they fish all day and live like cavemen. You

be better at the moment, except for the outdoor aspect.

I am still adjusting to living in the ‘country’ and Korey teases me at least once a week for being a ‘city girl’. For some reason, I am always the one who encounters snakes and frogs and turtles and porcupines and millipedes and no matter how many times I hear ‘they are more afraid of you then you are of them’ I don’t believe it. Korey grew up with all of these animals at the cottage and of course, as a boy, he enjoyed playing with them. He doesn’t understand what the big deal is and maybe it isn’t a big deal, but it still freaks me out when I encounter these creatures.

I try my best to focus on the beauty of the lake and the tranquility of the loon calls and most of the time I can’t believe how lucky I am to live in such an amazing place, but the animals and nature are still an adjustment and I’m sure they always will be. As the saying goes, ‘you can take the girl out of the city but you can’t take the city out of the girl’ and I certainly concur.

In the future, I don’t think we’ll be buying a home in a really rural area, but for now I’ll just have to learn to co-exist with my wild friends and hope INQUIRIES that theyDISTRIBUTION really are more scared of me Laviolette 613-221-6248 than I Jacquie am of them.

In Our Opinion

Golden Age Dawning?

Gazette Editorial - These days, it’s pretty easy to get down on yourself and despair over the fate of the world. Today’s stories are of psychopaths on shooting sprees, imminent eco-system collapse, draught, famine, rape, poverty and disease. The polarization of our politics has us paralyzed, confused, or worse, feeling indifferent. But what if we told you that things have never been better? That life, objectively speaking, has never been safer, kinder and more equitable at any other point in human history? Canadian cognitive scientist Steven Pinker argues precisely that in his 2011 book The Better Angels of our Nature.

Pinker contends that the tendency towards violence is deeply engrained our evolutionary and biological history. At one time, the instinct towards abuse and murder served our ancestors’ purposes quite well, enabling them to reproduce at better rate than the prehistoric pacifists. It is only with the advent of civilization and the development of five key historic factors within it that humanity’s desire to inflict pain for personal gain has tempered. Namely, these include the development of the state (laws/policing), the march of commerce (increased trade), feminization (the increasing influence of women on politics and economics), cosmopolitanism (access to new ideas afforded by increases mobility, literacy and media), and The Escalator of Reason (the ever accumulating body of knowledge and good judgment afforded by the application of human reason to our questions and problems, which has lessened our tendency to privilege our own interests over those of others).

The data doesn’t lie. Murder rates were much higher amongst supposedly peace-loving hunter gatherer societies than the U.S. in its most violent decade. The great genocides of Stalin, Mao and Hitler simply don’t stack up to the per capita killing ratios of the ferocious 17th century Reformation and Counter-Reformation wars of religion.

It’s a thought provoking read that underscores what a tremendous success the project of civilization has been. If nothing else, it’s worth being reminded of our immense capacity for cooperation and kindness, and our tendency to favour them when confronted with the alternatives.

Critics of Pinker charge that he paints an overly rosy portrait of human nature. What is it about us that has, really, truly changed over the centuries and millennia? If violence is necessarily spawned out of fear and ignorance, have either of those things really gone away? Or do they remain, dormant, lurking just below the surface, one cataclysm away from remerging with a vengeance?

We encourage readers a step back from the 24 hour news cycle; acknowledge the importance of the events that take place in our world, however refuse to succumb to the siren calls for despair they can sometimes elicit. When we engage with each other, let us refuse to descend into the tired polemics and diatribes that preclude accommodation, focusing instead on the things that unite us as citizens and community members, both locally and globally. Let’s ride that ‘Escalator of Reason’ as high as it will go. Let’s prove the critics wrong.

Have something to say?

Something on your mind?

Inspiring others to help Gilda’s Club open its doors

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – They’ve held multiple events, they’ve moved into their new location and held open houses, and now Gilda’s Club needs your help to open their doors.

There are multiple Gilda’s locations across North America, but starting up a location in Kingston has been a long process.

Eight years ago, Sami Bessette and her mother, Cathy, visited a Gilda’s location in Toronto. Cathy had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and was in the city for a second opinion. Sami, who was 19 at the time, accompanied her mother for support.

“I remember the day because it was really cold and we were walking up the street with giant x-rays of her lungs that we had to bring with us to the appointment,” recalls Bessette.

“My mom suggested going to the Gilda’s clubhouse and I didn’t really want to, but I went with her anyways. When we arrived people came over to us and told us it was a social and emotional support place for people and families dealing with cancer and it was completely free. There were lots of people there and they weren’t scared to be themselves. People had their wigs off and they were chatting about life and the entire place was very comfortable and inviting.”

Upon returning to Kingston for treatments, Cathy felt a need for a Gilda’s in Kingston and she teamed up with Joanne Franke to make it happen.

While Bessette’s mother’s original diagnosis only gave her three to six months to live, she survived for seven years with the help of multiple surgeries and treatments. Sami believes that her determination to get Gilda’s running also helped.

“When she first went into Gilda’s in Toronto, I think it changed something inside

10 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, June 12, 2014

of her and it made her want to keep going,” added Bessette. “She wanted to help other people and in a way working toward this took her mind off of her illness. She was no longer just a woman with cancer, she had a purpose and she sat on the board and had meetings and fundraisers to organize. All of that kept her going.”

Cathy Bessette died in May, 2013, coincidentally on a very important day for Gilda’s Southeastern (Kingston) chapter.

“It was the exact day that Gilda’s signed the paperwork for the club, 12 minutes after they signed the paperwork, explains Besette.

“That makes me feel like it was really meant to be and that is why I share her story.”

She hopes that by telling her story and the story of her mother, she can inspire others to help this amazing program get off the ground. The club house is there, but in order to open their doors and provide the services they want, Gilda’s needs to raise $750,000.

They are steadily moving toward their goal of opening in December of 2014, but they’d love to open even sooner.

“People don’t understand how important their services are unless they have had someone close to them affected by cancer,” says Bessette. “The clubhouse gives people a place to go and activities to do and other people to interact with and share stories with and people who are struggling with illness really need that. It gives people a place to go to that is non-judgmental and open and there are no obligations. People can just drop in whenever they want or whenever they need to and that is so important.”

Gilda’s is hosting a Family Fun day on June 21, a Women in Business event on June 24, an Open House event on July 8 and many more events over the coming months. For a Sami Bessette shares the story of her and her mother’s experiences with Gilda’s in Toronto. full list of events and information on Gilda’s She hopes that by sharing she can inspire others to donate to this worthy cause and help and to learn how to donate, visit www.gildas- the clubhouse in Kingston open their doors.

Learning from the best: 15 years of in depth music education for local students at Kingston Summer Music hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette News – Fifteen years ago, Regiopolis Notre Dame music teacher Hugh Johnston started a program called Kingston Summer Music, a weeklong day camp for students who play band instruments.

The goal is to provide professional instruction on band instruments, as well as opportunities for performance in concert bands, stage (Jazz) bands, and small and large ensembles.

“We struggled in our first year to get about 35 students,” Johnston recalls, noting that about 10 of the initial group were adults. This was surprising, he says, seeing as a similar program he initiated in a much smaller community in New Brunswick had attracted 50 students, and the one he attended himself growing up in Brockville always filled up with well over 100 students.

Still, Johnston persevered through the years, and now Kingston Summer Music enjoys a steady enrolment of between 60 and 80 students each year.

“Time flies,” Johnston says of celebrating the program’s 15th anniversary. “It’s nice to meet this milestone. I’ve been fortunate to have pretty much the same staff stick with me through the years, so that makes it easier…They believe in it and they’ve stuck with it for 15 years with

me.”

Instructors include Johnston (trumpet/ brass); Mike Verner (trumpet); Anne Palmer (flute); Elias Dubelsten (saxophone); Gordon Craig (clarinet/sax); John Palmer (trombone/low brass) and Greg Runions (percussion). At the end of the week, the students give a concert, with each performing in at least three different ensembles.

“It’s a pretty intensive week,” says Johnston. “[Students] get a group lesson with a professional on their instrument - so a flute player will get a flute teacher [etc.].

You learn things that you might not get from your trumpet playing music teacher that are specific for the flute or percussion or bass guitar, whatever instrument you play.”

Indeed, Johnston has made the advancement of music and the arts at RND and in the larger community his mission since moving to Kingston in 1998. He even has a national MusicCounts award, given in conjunction with the 2012 Junos, to prove it.

“Kingston Summer Music is one little piece of the puzzle,” he says, noting that excellent music teachers at all area high schools, the ability of students to participate in festivals like Kiwanis here in Kingston, and charitable initiatives like The Drive radio station donating $1,000 to every high school music program annually for the last seven years are all elements

that come together to allow Kingston to be a great place for young musicians.

“We have all of those little things coming together and Kingston Summer Music, I like to think, is a small piece of that, too - to train half a dozen students from each school and have them go back to their school a little bit better and a little bit more inspired about music ed.”

Johnston notes that a number of Kingston Summer Music alumni have gone on to become music teachers and performers.

“That’s gratifying,” he says. “Kingston Summer Music is only part of what they’ve done, but it’s helped them a little bit with what they’ve achieved. If we want to keep this kind of music education thriving in Ontario, which I do, I think it’s very relevant to get a lot of kids participating and performing music.”

Registration is now open for the 2014 Kingston Summer Music, which runs July 7 – 11 at Regi. Cost is $110. For more information, visit www.reginotredame.ca and click on the KSM link.

Places to explore and things to experience

Dance school soaring to new heights

By Mark Bergin Columnist

Before the Kingston School of Dance (KSD) moves back to its home in the Tett Centre for Creative Learning, they’ll be putting on one of their most unique end-of-year finales.

This year’s performance is called Soaring.

Since vacating the Tett Centre during renovations, the school has been without its permanent home base for four years.

“We’ve been kind of out there soaring in the City of Kingston,” says Ebon Gage, Artistic Director. “We’re slowly coming home to land at the Tett in September. It’s been a long flight, but it’s finally coming to an end.”

This year’s show is taking on a new format.

Act one will feature a full-length ballet.

“It’s called The Prince and the Feather,” says Gage. “It’s based on Celtic mythology. There are a lot of different sounds and rhythms of Celtic music.”

The story was written by Jillian Strathy, one of the school’s students.

“I really wanted to get more of our students involved,” says Gage. “Not just in dance, but also the written word and how that can be transposed into dance.”

Jillian, 15, describes the story.

“It starts with a prince who wants to find something new and magical,” she says. “He comes across a gate and behind it is a beautiful garden.

A hummingbird, who is actually an enchanted girl, gives him a feather, allowing him to enter the garden.”

But once the prince is inside, the gate closes and he can’t get out. The prince becomes scared.

Will-o’-the-wisps take him further into a magical world. Over time, he falls in love with the hummingbird. The prince is offered the choice of a feather that will free the hummingbird from the garden or a key that will allow the prince to leave the garden without the hummingbird. See the show to find out what he chooses.

“This is a story about love, good vs. evil, mortality and immortality, internal struggles,” says Jillian. “Your imagination is the one thing no one can take away from you.”

“I’ve known Jillian since she was four and I’ve watched her grow within the studio,” says Gage.

“I can always rely on her to remember the choreography.”

The second act of Soaring will feature production numbers.

“It’s an opportunity for us to tell a loose story with a common theme. In the middle of the act, we’ll celebrate all our dance forms.”

This will be a special year for dancer Aida Susanto, who has been with the non-profit school since 1978. She’ll be leaving Kingston after this season, moving to Whitby to be closer to her grandchildren.

The classically trained dancer, who at 16 was selected to join her homeland Indonesia’s national ballet company, gave up professional dance to become a doctor. During her dance career she performed on stage and TV in many locations with the national company.

Dr. Susanto came to Kingston to complete her residency in family medicine. Because of the intense time commitment, she could not continue with dance. After she completed her medical residency, she looked for a place to resume dancing.

She found that Len Stepanick, who at the time

it’s a

Adult dancers from the Kingston School of Dance. Aida Susanto, front left, a family physician in Kingston and a former professional ballerina, has been with the Kingston School of Dance since 1978. Liz Racine, right, says Susanto is a mentor and will be missed when she leaves the school after this season.

Photo/Mark Bergin was the Artistic Director of the Kingston School of Dance, had formerly been with the National Ballet of Canada. That clinched Susanto’s decision.

“I’m classically trained, so I didn’t want to go to one of the schools where people just throw their legs around and call it ballet,” says Susanto.

“The Kingston School of Dance has been a place for me to escape and express myself. My medical life is very structured. As soon as that work is done, Kingston School of Dance is my second home. I’m really going to miss the school.”

She says she’s seen many dancers develop to the professional level.

“I’ve been here so long, I’ve seen many generations of dancers. I’ve seen students grow to become professional dancers,” she says. “This school is very good at encouraging students to express themselves while developing technique.

There’s a family feeling here. Teachers focus on technique and art, not on competing.”

She explains that since Ebon Gage arrived 12 years ago, the school has expanded.

“It’s a much better school because of him,” she says. “With Ebon’s expertise in many forms of dance, the school has really expanded. If you want to become a professional dancer or performer, there’s so much you can do here.”

She notes that it’s important for dancers to learn solid technique at every level, but also be able to be creative.

She points at Ebon Gage. “This guy is a choreographer who lets students express themselves.” She pauses. “I’m alive because I dance.”

Royal Military College and the city of Kingston, enjoy a summer cocktail or dinner before a Sunset Ceremony.

This Saturday, the second annual Fort Henry Beerfest and Food Truck Festival, set to take place on the back hills of the Fort, promises to be even bigger and better than before. Guests can enjoy a sample (or purchase a full size) beer from a variety of breweries such as Moosehead, Mackinnon, Nickel Brook, White Water and Hop City. New this year, nosh on some of the region’s tastiest mobile eats participating in the Food Truck Festival.

These delicious foodie carts have long been a fabric of urban markets. Food Trucks are now a staple in Kingston. We are pleased to see this event recognizing their importance to Kingston’s food experience. Sample from Farm Girl Food, Burrito Bunker, Dogzilla Grill, Two Nuts

and A Food Truck and the ever-yummy BeaverTails. These vendors prepare food from good local ingredients and serve fresh meals that can be devoured where you stand. Bring the whole family for this picnic-style, all ages event, featuring live entertainment, beer, food trucks and more.

For the wine lover, experience the flavours of Prince Edward County all under one roof. Visit Grape Escape, the brand new wine tasting centre. This specialty wine store features 24 wineries from Prince Edward County, each with two wines on display. The shop is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tastings are available for sale, and most Fridays a wine expert will be on hand to answer all your questions.

Admission to the Beerfest and Food Truck festival is $10 for adults and seniors, $5 for children 12 and under.

This summer, Fort Henry celebrates

its 76th season of historic battles, sunset ceremonies, live music and more. Daily parade and cannon demonstrations along with tours of the museum exhibits provide a glimpse of military life. Stroll through the trade market of local artisans such as 1000 Islands Soap Company and Kingston Olive Oil from Wednesday to Sunday until 5 p.m. But, if you think you’ve enjoyed all the national historic site has to offer, I suggest you take a second look. The museum reinvents itself every season with new events and discoveries.

In partnership with

Hospice Kingston and BFO Daytripper celebrate first annual Wings Dance school soaring to new heights of Serenity event

Mark Bergin

Places to explore and things to experience

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – It was an afternoon filled with remembrance, love and lots of butterflies. On May 31, many Kingstonians gathered in City Park at Hospice Gardens to celebrate and remember the lives of loved ones through the release of painted lady butterflies. The event was the first of its kind in Kingston and was put on by Hospice Kingston and Bereaved Families of Ontario (BFO).

“The idea of the event was to bring people together,” said Natasha Girard, Executive Director for Hospice Kingston.

“Everyone is here for a different reason.

Some are here to remember a loved one, some are here to celebrate overcoming a life hurdle like a move or overcoming an illness and some are here to celebrate events like a graduation. Butterflies can be a symbol of transition, or hope or remembrance and it is beautiful to see so many people embracing that.”

The event came about after some coworkers from BFO attended a butterfly release in Ottawa. They thought it was beautiful and they immediately wanted to bring it to Kingston.

“We really wanted to host one in Kingston and we wanted to work with Hospice Kingston because we have similar goals in the community,” explained Maggie Forsberg, program director for BFO Kingston. “We never imagined it would be so successful, but we already have people making suggestions for next year’s event. The response has been wonderful.”

A total of 247 painted lady butterflies were ordered and sold for the event and even more were sold the morning before the release. The butterflies are from a farm North of Toronto called Butterflies and Rose and in order to keep the but-

terflies asleep and in their boxes, they are frozen and need to be kept cold until half an hour before their release.

“As they are given out people warm up the box with their hands and the butterflies will start to wake up and move around and then they are ready to take flight,” added Forsberg.

At 2 p.m., everyone at the event was asked to release their butterflies and while the butterflies didn’t all take flight at the same time, there was definitely a buzz throughout the crowd as people saw their little insects for the first time.

Heather Washer came to release a butterfly in memory of a friend she lost to ovarian cancer a few years ago and while she explained that she thinks of her friend every day, releasing the butterfly was an emotional act.

“It is a really nice way to remember your loved ones and pay tribute to them,” said Washer. “I really didn’t think I would get emotional, but it kind of struck me and the memory of her just came over me. This is a nice way to honour her memory and it was beautiful to see the butterfly fly away.”

The release also served as an awareness and fundraising event for the two groups, but Girard added that it is about so much more than that.

“We wanted people to come out and celebrate and release a butterfly and experience the joy of seeing all of them in the park,” explained Girard. “We hope to do this for many years to come and expand further into the park. It is such a beautiful event and we want more and more people to come and experience it.”

Adult dancer Liz Racine, says the school will miss Aida. “She’s a role model for all of us in the styling and technique she brings to class. And she’s a friend and mentor.”

Three high school-age dancers— Myriana Giguere, 15, Samantha Levesque, 15, and Maya Meyerman, 14—join the conversation. Samantha has been with the Kingston School of Dance for 10 years. Myriana and Maya each came to the school two years ago, after training for years in other schools.

“I’d been at a competitive school,” says Maya, who trains in ballet, pointe, contemporary and is a member of the school’s company of dancers. She also performed in LCVI’s Beauty and the Beast this year. “I’d lost interest. I’d been there for ten years. It was very amateur. I even had a teacher for ballet who had never done ballet. I almost quit dance, until I came here, where it’s very creatively focused. I’ve found my love of dance again.”

Myriana, who trains in ballet, pointe and contemporary dance says she likes and respects the school’s professional discipline and friendly atmosphere. “We take dance very seriously here. In the old school, they were more worried about winning trophies than with posture.

It was a very amateur level of dance. They spent more time on how to please the judges with facial expression than on technique. But here, ballet is real. This year’s ballet has lots of mystical themes. It’s going to be a beautiful show.”

Samantha, who has spent a decade training at KSD in ballet, jazz, hip hop and contemporary dance, as well as volunteering to help teach at hip hop classes, says, “Our pressure here is good pressure to be professional.

I love the storyline of this year’s ballet. It’s going to be awesome.”

The young dancers give a high level of commitment to dance. All are hyped for Soaring.

“I’ll be halfway through exams while the show is on,” says Samantha. In early May she had the added commitment of appearing in Grease at Frontenac Secondary School. But she says it’s all worth the effort.

“It takes a lot of time management,” adds Myriana, who has a big role in The Feather and the Key. “I have to keep an agenda with my schedule. I also have exams. I can’t take a night and decide I want to do something else. Dance takes up many hours, but it’s so much fun.”

“I love performing,” says Maya. “Dance, theatre, singing, anything. I’m at home on stage. I’m never nervous.”

Performances of Soaring are at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 21 at the Grand Theatre.

Oyez, Oyez, Oyez! Tourism proclaimed “everyone’s business in Kingston”

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

Gazette News - It’s no secret that summer in Kingston presents a huge economic opportunity for local businesses and attractions. Indeed, according to the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Kingston and the Frontenac County area welcomes over 2.25 million visitors annually, accounting for over $310 million in visitor spending and a tourism employment impact of over 4,500 jobs.

“Tourism is everyone’s business in Kingston,” says Tourism of Kingston manager of visitor services and local Town Crier Chris Whyman. “Everyone from a cab driver to a construction worker plays an important role in creating money for increasing the coffers in the city of Kingston. Local citizens should be aware of what we have in our own backyard.”

That’s why this year, Tourism Kingston is hoping that Kingstonians will join in the fun and get enthusiastic about everything our city has to offer. Tourism Awareness Week, taking place June 9 – 15, encourages locals to be visitors in their own city, and participate in a wide variety of events such as a social media photo contest at various sites, a barbeque for Kingston residents at the Visitor Information Centre on June 9 and a tourism trivia boat cruise on June 11. On June 14 and 15, locals will also be offered free or two-for-one admission to select Kingston museums.

“One of the biggest issues is people have a lot of friends that come and visit them from out of town, and if they don’t know what Kingston has to offer,” Whyman explains.

“They need to be ambassadors, so we need

to let them know what they have so they can tell their aunt who’s coming in from Winnipeg and take [her] on a tour. It makes you look good, it makes the city look good and it really gives the out of town guests some great stuff to do.”

Indeed, there is more than enough to see.

“Kingston, of course, is a very historic community and some of our biggest attributes are tourist attractions,” Whyman notes. “Not only is the city an attraction itself, but we’ve got places like Fort Henry, the trolley, the Marine Museum, the Pump House Steam Museum. We’ve got 25 galleries. It’s a huge coup for us to have that many.”

Tourism Kingston has also introduced a new initiative called Kingston Crowns, which runs all season long. If someone receives exceptional customer service from a front line worker, they can nominate that person for an award by visiting kingstontourismawards.com and downloading a nomination form. Winners will be recognized at a gala event, to be held in February.

“We know that front line staff already go above and beyond, but we want people to let us know when that happens so we can nominate them for a tourism award,” Whyman says. “[The judges] will put together the winners of the different categories that they have. It could be anything from businesses to attractions to an individual server, a cab driver - anybody could win.”

The ultimate goal of all these initiatives, of course, is to encourage everyone to experience what Kingston has to offer, and strengthen the economy in the process. “[Tourism] is very, very important to this

area,” Whyman says.”Our huge student population is a good example…By promoting tourism in the city of Kingston, what we’re doing is we’re ensuring that these students will have a job for the summer to raise money for their college education. That’s just part of it but it’s also the amount of tax dollars that

come back to Kingston to put into other events and other things.”

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Countering atrocity through action Columnist

The town of Masisi in the North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the most dangerous places on our planet.

Aside from peace, there is no simple solution for the Congo explains Kingston artist Heather Haynes. With several rebel groups vying for power, peace isn’t on the horizon.

In 2008, the rebels burned the orphanage in the village.

About two years ago, Haynes met Kizungu Hubert, who operates the orphanage.

“I wasn’t sure where my [art] work was taking me,” says Haynes. “I met Kizungu the day after I surrendered myself to the universe. Only on reflection do I realize how profound that meeting was.

“When I met him, the children were living in a shack,” she says. “They were given land by his sister. Another woman from Rome was raising funds to send to them.

I spoke with her. That’s when I decided to act. We needed to raise $5800. Eighty children in this organization somehow collided with my world.”

A couple of decades ago Kizungu was one of these children.

“His mom was very poor,” says Haynes.

“He was given a sponsorship before things got really rough around 20 years ago, around the time of the genocide in Rwanda. He just wants to help other kids and the women of the community. He wants to build a school, too.”

Haynes is not a professional fundraiser and didn’t know where to start. She began with putting in $1000 of her own money.

She shared the story with her sister, family and friends. She raised the money. But there was more. A restless feeling of needing to do more haunted her. She knew she had to start painting portraits of the children.

“I finally got to meet these kids,” says Haynes. “I went in February and took photos. Then I started painting.”

But instead of just portraits, Haynes started to include the children’s stories in the paintings. The children are courageous survivors of devastating life circumstances.

Haynes needed to tap her own courage to begin the project.

“I wondered if I was courageous enough to do it,” she says. “I hadn’t done something like that before. I’d never included stories. But now, the viewer isn’t just seeing a beautiful human being; they see the story and it hits them in the head.”

Haynes explains that she’d shied away from doing this in her past works.

“Maybe I wanted to engage people first,” she says. “In our community, we can’t even conceive of the horror of one story, let alone 80.”

There’s an overwhelming reality to Haynes’ paintings, 24 of which form the basis of Courage, the current exhibit in her gallery at 320A King Street East.

She wondered how many paintings it would take to fill her King Street gallery.

“I laid the ones I had on the floor to take photos of them,” she says. “Then I realized I have to do all 80 of them.”

She figures it will take her another year to complete the project.

She becomes quiet for a moment. Her voice wavers as she speaks: “I pushed and pushed myself. It was important to keep everything clear to know where this was taking me. I’ve never felt such a pressing feeling to complete other bodies of work.

It’s like it’s all led to this.”

She turns toward two paintings in her gallery. She points at them.

“That child’s mother was 15 when she was raped,” says Haynes. “She had the child and could no longer go to school.

She’d also been infected with AIDS. She died. So many girls and women have been raped by the rebel soldiers.”

Haynes points at another painting.

“These children’s mother was raped and infected with AIDS. After she died, their grandfather looked after them until he died. Then they found themselves at the orphanage.”

The father of another child in a paint-

ing had been kidnapped and ended up in the hospital. The family sold everything to cover his hospital fees. But he died anyway.

The mother was left with nothing.

On any given day in the Congo, a woman may be going about her business and working in a farm field when soldiers come by and rape her. Many houses have been burnt to the ground by rebels.

In our Western World where going without an Internet connection can cause an anxiety attack of First World problems, many wear blinders to hide the terrible things happening in other parts of the world.

How does Haynes deal with the pain of knowing the truth?

“I’m doing something,” she says. “If I didn’t, it would be really hard. People have a hard time because they’re not doing something. Taking action makes it all inspiring. I know it’s happening; I’m not living in some hole.

I’d rather find peace within that reality.”

Beyond the creation of the body of work comprising these deeply moving paintings, Haynes hopes to create a book and documentary film. The paintings themselves are

overwhelmingly moving. It is difficult to look at them and not feel saddened, but also hopeful. There is great hope in her work.

“I’d love to find someone to help with the documentary,” says Haynes. “I’ve put it out into the universe. If that doesn’t happen, I’m doing it. It has to be done. If I have to, I’ll haul cameras over myself. I don’t know if my husband will come along or maybe one of the kids from Tanzania.”

Most of the children come to the orphanage by way of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp.

“I went to the camp in February,” says Haynes. “There was no more food or aid, no schooling. Because the M23 Rebel Army had laid down arms, everyone in the camp was told to go home. But there are many other rebel groups; people can’t

safely go home.”

After Haynes’ February visit, even the water was cut off at the camp.

“It’s not their fault,” she says. “They really have no place to go. So many children come from the IDP camp. Organizations bring more kids to Kizungu every week.

They have to turn them away.”

A year to the day after Heather met Kizungu, the children moved into the new orphanage building. There are latrines, a kitchen, a wall for safety, and 50 of the 80 children have sponsors financially supporting them. If you’d like to become a sponsor for one of the children, contact Heather Haynes at her gallery email, jeff@heatherhaynes.com, or message her through her Worlds Collide Facebook page.

Countering atrocity through action Continued from page 21

Haynes doesn’t expect everyone to hop on the next flight to Africa and do what she’s doing, but remaining ignorant of the situation is not bliss; it’s complicit guilt.

“Not everyone is meant to do this: travel and help in other parts of the world,” says Haynes. “But if you’re inspired to help the person next door, do that. It will make you feel good. It’s important for people to harvest and nurture their own compassion. I feel like there’s a shift in the world.

“When you act and don’t stand still,

you don’t get weighed down from the pain of knowing. There is so much that can be done. I want to bring one of the Hard Life Artists (from Tanzania) to Canada to mentor with me and other artists.”

For those wanting to help change the world, Haynes says the best place to start is with our own children.

“Find your inspiration. I wish we could all nurture our own children to help them find out who they are and what their place is in building the world.”

Heather stops talking for a moment.

Thinking. Then she adds: “You know, I

think it’s a bit crazy sometimes, what I do.

I’m addicted to crazy. Anything truly inspired is outside the norm.”

Then again, years ago Scottish psychiatrist R. D. Laing noted that insanity is a sane response to an insane world.

To my wife, Heather, thank you for keeping it a surprise, and still getting me to the (FISH FRY) party! A special thank you to Carolyn and Joe Proderick, for providing such an amazing venue. Sorry about the Habs cake! To all the staff involved in the evening celebration, thank you for making us all feel so welcome and for the amazing hospitality that was provided.

I especially wanted to thank everyone who came from near & a far, as it was a truly humbling, joyful and a very happy experience! It was great to see so many of you, to share some great stories from the past and to catch up with what is happening in our lives and our families now. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules, not to mention on the Friday night of a long weekend. It was most overwhelming!

Sincerely, Kevin Dillon P.S. I have started a hit list of those people who were involved in a photo that some thought might be some resemblance of me from days gone bye once again, this was a case of mistaken identity! But still for those involved, payback will be sweet!

Switching churches was a serious topic for Audrey Mary Cook

Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca Gazette Lifestyle - “Being Lutheran is no fun,” Audrey said for the umpteenth time that morning. Mother let out a loud sigh, and I knew what was coming next, because my sister on the rare occasions she even bothered to discuss with me anything the least bit serious, had talked about this very thing. “Why can’t we have more Sunday picnics like the Uniteds? Beatrice said there are at least two more picnics this summer, and we Lutherans have yet to have even one!”

Audrey was wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table, and she was rubbing so hard I thought she was going to rub out the checked red and white pattern!

And then she took the argument even further by suggesting she saw no reason why she couldn’t go to the United Church and the rest of the family stay Lutheran. Well, that tore it!

Mother sat Audrey down at one end of the table, just by pointing her finger to the nearest chair, and she sat at the other end.

There was nothing I liked better than a good heated discussion, and I knew I was about to witness a dandy. Nothing bothered Mother more than to have one of us argue about going to church.

Even though we came from what Aunt Lizzie called a ‘ divided household’, to Mother going to the Lutheran church every Sunday was just

as important as doing the washing on Monday’s and having our weekly bath on Saturday night!

There were no questions asked as far as going to church was concerned, and only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away.

Mother told Audrey you didn’t go to church to have fun. You were there to learn about the bible, and listen to a good message.

I thought it was a good time to bring up the subject of our divided household, since we were talking church and all.

I had no idea what it meant when Aunt Lizzie had come from Regina one time and as well as declaring Mother as ‘not being of the best farm material she had ever seen’, she also said Mother created what was called a ‘divided household’ for her brother, my father.

So I dared to ask, what was a divided household? Mother ignored my question, but my sister Audrey jumped right in and said, ‘it means Father is a Lutheran, and Mother is a Catholic’.

Well, that was all news to me! The nearest Catholic church was in Renfrew and not once did we ever go to a church service in the Catholic church in Renfrew! How could Mother be a Catholic and not go to church every Sunday?

Now, she did have a Rosary, and she wouldn’t eat meat on Fridays, and on occasion I did she her cross herself, but that’s as far as it went.

Why, we often sang on the street corner with the Salvation Army band in Renfrew...did that make us Salvation Army members?

Anyway, as far as Mother was concerned the discussion was over, and Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour.

I told Audrey I didn’t want to go to one church and have her go to another. I told her about the

time she was asked to sing a hymn and how I tingled from my head to my toes with pride...and how everyone said she sang like a bird...and I just knew she would be asked to sing again some day.

And whose shoulder could I lean against when I nodded off during the sermon? Certainly not my brother Emerson’s.

I couldn’t tell by looking at Audrey sitting across from me in the swing, if I had been able to convince her to stay a Lutheran. I had to think of something that would leave no doubt in her mind that going to the United Church just wasn’t a good idea.

And then it hit me! Right out of the blue!

“I hear Shirley’s brother from the Barr Line is going to join the Lutheran Church...remember how he chose your cake at the Cake Auction at our church ....cost him a whole quarter too. He sure had the sweets on you.” I had no idea in the world whether or not Shirley’s brother had any intention of joining the Lutheran church, but this issue called for drastic measures, and if that meant telling a little white lie, so be it!

Audrey got a dreamy look in her eyes, which

was a very good sign. I thought I would seal the deal by adding a bit more to the story. “Shirley said he is now old enough to drive the car too.

Loves to go into Renfrew to the picture shows.”

I had my fingers crossed behind my back, which was supposed to get rid of the sin of telling a lie.

I sure hoped it worked, because I had no idea if Shirley’s family even owned a car...they came to church in a horse and buggy.

Well, that did the trick. Audrey put her head back in the swing, and pushed the boards gently with her feet, and the swing squeaked back and forth in a steady rhythm. I knew she was thinking of trips into Renfrew to the picture show, and Shirley’s brother sitting in a pew in the Lutheran Church.

Joining the United Church was never mentioned again.

Helen Humphreys honoured with second Trillium Book Award nomination

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – Kingston author Helen Humphreys usually writes fiction and novels, but her latest book is a memoir and one that means a lot to her. Nocturne is about Humphreys’ brother Martin, who died at the age of 45 from pancreatic cancer.

Originally, Humphreys set out to write a very personal letter to her brother and never intended on publishing it, but she quickly discovered that she was writing something more.

“I didn’t really plan it,” she explains. “At a certain point I realized it was a book rather than something private. It came to me very organically and it came out of what I was feeling rather than something I controlled from a more intellectual place.”

While Humphreys admits that the subject matter was a bit challenging and emotional, the book was also one of the easiest she has ever written.

“It just sort of flowed out of me.

Novels take a bit more planning and my other works of non-fiction required some research, but this was very natural.”

Critics have responded very well to Nocturne and now Humphreys has been nominated for the Trillium Book Award for the second time in her career. The award encourages excellence in literature by investing in Ontario-based writers. Award recipients receive $20,000 and their respective publishers receive $2,500 to promote the winning titles. Humphreys acknowledges that the money would be nice, but she really appreciates the promotion that comes along with awards even more.

“There are so many books in the world right now and if your book can get a bit more attention that always helps,” says Humphreys, who is currently working on her next novel, set for release in 2015.

She adds that the nomination means a bit more to her because the book is a memoir and a tribute to her brother.

“My brother was also an artist, he was a classical pianist, so the more attention that gets paid to the book the less he is forgotten and the more his is remembered. So that means more to me than one of

my novels receiving the attention.”

Humphreys has won numerous awards in the past, but she admits that she doesn’t go into the receptions prepared to win. She prefers to just enjoy the moment.

“It would be great if I did win, but the nomination is great and I just want to enjoy the festivities around that,” says Humphreys who also thinks that her brother would be quite proud of the nomination.

“I think he would be very

pleased…It is very hard to write about someone else’s life and have them agree with everything you say, but I think he’d appreciate the sentiment of it.”

Winners for the Trillium Book Award/Prix Trillium and the Trillium Poetry Award will be announced at a reception in Toronto on June 17. For more information about the nominees and their work visit http:// w w w. o m d c . o n . c a / b o o k / t r i l l i u m bookaward/Finalists

Different Strokes artists find healing through creation

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

Gazette News - For someone living with mental illness, art can be a very healing and important method of self-expression.

“I think it’s so important for everyone, but especially for someone living with mental illness,” says Lee-Ann Taras, administrator/ spokesperson for the local art group Different Strokes. “It’s an invaluable outlet for catharsis, for healing, for transformation, for gaining your confidence. I think it’s a really powerful medium.”

Different Strokes was formed 15 years ago by Don King; it aims to establish, nourish and encourage a community of artists whose lives have been touched by mental illness.

“It’s people with lived experience with mental illness but we’re artists first and our illness is kind of secondary,” explains Taras. “There are a lot of professional artists in the group. We originally formed and still do work to de-stigmatize [mental illness], but first and foremost we’re artists coming together and getting out into the community.”

Different Strokes holds several art shows each year, and from June 5-15 you can find the work of at least 15 of the group’s artists, along with 11

pieces by artists of The Mess group, at the Window Art Gallery (Princess and Victoria) for their Summer Art Exhibition. An opening night gala was held June 5.

“We want to increase the profile of Different Strokes and artists living with mental illness [and show] what people can do through their creativity and not be defined by their illness,” notes Taras, who is herself a painter.

“I really love texture and colour,” she says. “I texture my canvasses first and then I layer with colour.

That’s a big thing that I work in. I’m an intuitive painter, so I never have a plan. I just kind of go. I like that journey because it’s full of the unexpected and surprises.”

While it started out as its own entity, Different Strokes eventually came together as an arm of Frontenac Community Mental Health and Addiction Services (FCMHAS).

“The fun part of the journey for us has been to see how this group has really grown and spread its wings,” says FCMHAS vocational services supervisor Kim Fraser. “The Mess is another organization in Kingston that we’ve been working hard to partner with. “[Our] philosophy and mandate moving forward is really all about community integration and focus on reducing stigma in the community. This kind of event [the

art show] gives us a really good opportunity to do that.”

Still, Fraser notes that while FCMHAS works to liaison their connections and resources for the group, such as purchasing supplies and providing space for them to show their work, the group does the vast major-

ity of the work for itself.

“They plan their shows and workshops and where they’d like to go, so we just are on the periphery,” Fraser says.

Taras adds that she feels fortunate to live in a community where art is so well supported.

Different Strokes artist Lee-Ann Taras stands in front of some of her art.

“I think anybody can enjoy art and appreciate art. We’re very lucky to live in Kingston where there is a lot of support for the arts, whether you’re an artist or a musician or a writer. I think we really need to recognize that and recognize and support the artists.”

Lifestyle - “Hi Brian, My problem is that I had a flat tire and found out that my spare was not coming down from its position.

Actually no surprise really as it’s a 2008 Ranger, under coated each year before winter storage, and I’ve never had to use the spare. However it would not come down when I shoved the rod in and turned. Apparently it has to be cut down to get it loose. What a solution! Because then I have to carry it in the bed and I have no room for that option as I load it up with herbs for the market. What to do? Try rust solvent?

No one talked to me or anyone else about some preventative maintenance on this issue in 60 years of driving.

a sticking accelerator on his 2001 Honda Accord. He had prepared a blasting letter to Honda Canada demanding something be done before he and any passengers were injured or worse. He asked for my opinion on this concern. Nowhere in his email or letter to Honda did he indicate if any qualified tech had checked things out to determine a cause. While unintended accelerations are frightening and risky, asking a carmaker to jump to action on a 14 year-old vehicle with no model history of this condition and without a proper diagnosis, is pretty much a waste of time.

Vehicles can develop safety issues for any number of reasons both as a result of poor design/workmanship and as a result of age, mileage, or lack of maintenance.

My advice to this reader was to immediately get his vehicle checked by a competent and experienced technician and be prepared to pay for the required repairs or to park the vehicle and to save the stamp.

This Father’s Day weekend (you didn’t forget Dad did you?)

George raises a great point as few service providers, no matter how great they are, ever take the time to lubricate under-carriage spare tire carriers and winches during routine maintenance. We, on this side of the service counter, often expect customers to look after certain things on their own, in between services, such as tire pressure and fluid checks and washer fluid top-ups. But it really isn’t reasonable to expect a car owner to crawl underneath their vehicle on their driveway to lower the spare tire and effectively lubricate the mechanisms.

If your vehicle has an ‘underslung’ spare tire and is over two years old, have your service garage lower the tire and lubricate the winch, cable, and any other mechanism that needs attention. Rear liftgate and trunk lid lock cylinders are another often-forgotten lube point and need special attention during the winter.

I received an email recently from a western reader with a concern on
