Fire permit sales up over previous years in Central Frontenac By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — The Central Frontenac Fire Department’s fiscal year was up at the end of November and Fire Chief Bill Young said that it was a record year in terms of permit sales. “We had 469 incinerator permits sold for a total of $2,023,” he said. “There were 722 campfire permits for $935 and 253 brush/yard permits for $283.” The previous high totals were 346 incinerator permits for $1,476 in 2010, 428 campfire permits for $530 in 2011 and 197 brush/yard permits for $216, also in 2011. As far as the regular station activities go, Young characterized October as “a very quiet month with only eight calls to-

tal (one fire, six medical calls, one other assistance which Young believed was a cat in a tree).” November was somewhat busier for the fire departments, with two fire calls, two public hazard calls, eight medical, three rescues and one other assistance call. To date, the Central Frontenac Fire Department has answered 53 fire calls, 18 false alarms, 13 public hazard calls, 113 medical calls, 27 rescue calls, and 20 other assistance calls for a total of 244 calls that consisted of 2,257.1 hours. ••• It turns out that the MPAC assessment of the size (acreage) of Sharbot Lake Provincial Park was a little short, and that could translate into more tax revenue for

Central Frontenac Township. Treasurer Michael McGovern presented the findings to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake and said “the net financial impact based on the 2012 rate was a loss of $3,989.10 but is now a gain of $378.60.” It turns out, the MPAC assessment had the size of the park at 99 acres when it is in fact, 198 acres. “How could they lose 100 acres?” quipped Coun. Frances Smith. ••• Turnabout is fair play. Coun. Bill Snyder tried to get an issue about signage in Hinchinbrooke District onto the agenda at the regular Central Frontenac Council meeting last week in

Sharbot Lake and Coun. Norm Guntensperger, who was chairing the meeting, was about to let him. However, Mayor Janet Gutowski raised a point of order that Council had already approved the agenda for this meeting and Guntensperger had no choice but to rule in her favour. But later on in the meeting, Her Worship tried to invoke discussion on possible meeting times for 2014 budget discussions saying “we were asked by administration to bring our calendars so we could set dates for budget discussions because we have to get this out to the public.” Guntensperger’s response and ruling was succinct: “We’ve already approved the agenda for this meeting Madame Mayor.”

Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre supports Rotary Club of Kingston in giving the gift of literacy hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Imagine a childhood without books. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to take for granted the extent to which literacy and learning are enhanced by easy access to books, but life without literature is an unfortunate reality faced by many children in Kingston. Students at the Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre understand the important role books play in the life of a child. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why on Dec. 10, they donated 300 copies of their latest original childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, called Newton and Alice, to the Rotary Club of Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RotaryInitiated Child Enrichment (RICE) program. Every year just before Christmas, the Rotary Club donates over 2,000 books to 28 local agencies and hospitals such as the Boys and Girls Club, Pathways for Youth and the pediatric ward at the Kingston General Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through this initiative, our participants with intellectual disabilities are able to give back to the community that gives them so much each year,â&#x20AC;? said Tracy Ryan, marketing director of Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, Rotary will aim our donation to benefit kids who have social, physical or developmental challenges. We want all children to have the opportunity to read, create and be inspired this season.â&#x20AC;? Newton and Alice is the third childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre has produced in the last decade, following Newton Rides a Bus and Newton Finds a Home.

the younger generation, and to support literacy and reading.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent thing to do, to share books with people,â&#x20AC;? noted Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art student Christine Griffin. The Rotary Club of Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RICE committee chair John Boone said that the group is delighted to be able to share these books with the community. He explained that each of the 28 organizations receives between 40 and 100 new books, most of which are purchased from Firefly Books in Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They give us a very good rate and the president has been very

kind to us and generous,â&#x20AC;? Boone said. Some of the books will be distributed to children through a very special Rotary program called Food For Thought, which sees books donated to the Partners in Mission Food Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy food, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not buying books,â&#x20AC;? Boone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when they come to get their allotment of food, if they have children, the food bank will give them books that we donate. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to do that because it means that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fulfilling a need for these

Residents of South Frontenac

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take some time to remember why we celebrate Christmas. Ron Vandewal Deputy Mayor Loughborough Councillor

Central in support of package recycling reduction Bill 91 By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Township decided to throw its support behind an Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) campaign to support Bill 91 at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The support takes the form of newspaper ads asking residents to contact their Member of Provincial Parliament and express their support for the bill. Bill 91 (The Waste Reduction Act) would require the manufacturers of paper and packaging to fund up to 100 per cent of blue box recycling costs, which could represent considerable savings to municipalities. Proponents of the bill claim it could create innovations as producers develop more easily recyclable packaging. Opponents of the bill claim it will only lead to increased prices for consumers as the costs of developing new packaging are simply passed on

to consumers. Waste management supervisor Kyle Labbett told Council Bill 91 would completely revamp recycling. “It’s in second reading but there has been some pushback from industry,” he said. “And it may not go through. “So AMO has asked for support.” “I’ve read some of the debate and the bill is not a sure thing in a minority government,” said Coun. John Purdon. “I think we can all be in support of reducing our municipal costs but the consumer is going to end up paying for it somewhere. “If we put an ad in the paper, we should direct comments to our MPP (Randy) Hillier because the Conservatives are not in favour of it as a party. “And, if we’re (Council) in favour of it, we could send our MPP a letter as a Township.” “Maybe we could soften the wording on the announcement,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski. “And we’d

want it to be from all three townships (North, Central, South Frontenac). “But I have no problems supporting this. The manufacturers have to step up.” “Not that it’s going to do any good, but I’m in favour of it,” said Coun. Heather Fox. “North Frontenac has offered to organize the running of the ad for

North, Central and South Frontenac Townships,” Labbett said. The AMO website for this issue is www.amo.on.ca/waste. ••• Labbett also asked Council to sign a new agreement with Stewardship Ontario regarding the Township’s Household Hazardous Waste Day.

“There are new rules from Stewardship Ontario but most of them don’t pertain to us,” Labbett said. “We’ve never been late with our reporting and we don’t have a hazardous waste depot.” “I’m amazed at the length of the agreement (52 pages) for a one-day event,” said Coun. John Purdon.

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Council has decided to try internet/telephone voting for the 2014 municipal election. CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson presented Council with several options, including the status quo paper ballot and mail-in system at the regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake but it was clear where his preference was. “There are advantages to the internet/telephone system,” he said. “Not in terms of direct service perhaps but there are real savings in terms of staff time, counting time and balance.” He did acknowledge that there are downsides, as evidenced last election in South Frontenac, but said he was confident the service provider had corrected those problems and they were unlikely to reoccur. “The system locked some people out in the last election,” he said. “It turned out that there were candidates staying logged in to see who hadn’t voted because it gave them a chance to get their supporters out to vote. “The service provider says they have all the bugs worked out of that.” Many neighbouring municipalities have already gone the all-electronic route for election night. South Frontenac, Tay Valley and Addington Highlands Townships have had the service for two elections and will continue with it for 2014. North Frontenac Township has also decided to go

electronic this time around. Donaldson said the trailblazing efforts of our neighbours have been beneficial for Central Frontenac. “One of the advantages of not being first is that a lot of municipalities have gone through the problems and got them ironed out,” he said. “We spoke about this early on in this Council’s term and decided not to go with it,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski. “But things have changed and if North Frontenac is going too, it’s time to move on.” “I’m not against this but not everybody is on the internet or likes telephone message services we have to deal with,” said Coun. John Purdon. “Can we maybe have a hybrid system (which would include paper voting)?” “Council should think long and hard before going to a hybrid system,” said Donaldson. “The advantages gained from an electronic system wouldn’t carry over.” “I wasn’t a supporter in the past but I agree it’s time to go forward,” said Coun. Frances Smith. “The problems I do have are people who don’t have regular phones, only cell phones and/or those who have trouble reading and writing. “Could we have stations where people could use a phone or internet and have someone there to help them?” “Some municipalities have done that,” said Donaldson. “It does take more staff but because this is our first time doing this, it might make a good transition.”

KGH celebrates donation for research centre Reporter

Gazette News — On Dec. 11, trustees from the William James Henderson Foundation gathered with staff and visitors at Kingston General Hospital to present a cheque for $1 million. The money has been pledged by the foundation in order to fund a new Centre for Patient-Oriented Research at the hospital. Leslee Thompson, president and CEO of KGH, said that the new facility will have expansive lab space, patient accommodations for clinical trials, large meeting spaces and more. “Patient-oriented research is where we are really focusing,” Thompson said at the cheque presentation. “This gift is going to help us have state of the art research facilities.” Thompson explained that the donation will increase the hospital’s existing research space by nearly 25 per cent. It will also be able to support the hospital’s research needs for the next five to 10 years. Dr. Roger Deeley, vicepresident of Health Sciences Research at KGH, said of the gift: “It’s going to put us a long way on the road to making the centre a reality. [The centre] will provide a much-needed, custom–designed environment that will bring researchers and patients together in a multidisciplinary setting. The entire initiative has really been a great example of what you can

accomplish when you have good partners.” W.J. Henderson Foundation board member David Pattenden appeared at the ceremony on behalf of the foundation. “Patients are going to benefit from it immediately, and research is going to benefit from it immediately,” he stated. “I’m happy to represent Bill,” said Pattenden of the foundation’s creator, William Henderson. “It’s his memory we’re celebrating.” According to Pattenden, this is the largest single donation the

foundation has ever made. The foundation has donated to the health care community extensively in the past, raising more than $1.9 million for Kingston’s hospitals since 1992. They also donate extensively to Queen’s University’s Faculty of Health Sciences. “The W. J. Henderson Foundation is a recognized champion of our region’s economy, health, and overall vitality,” says Denise Cumming, executive director of the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation.

To honour the William James Henderson Foundation’s donation, KGH will be giving naming privileges. The new facility will be known as the W. J. Henderson Centre for Patient-Oriented Research. The Foundation will also have a 20-year naming recognition at one of the family spaces in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. The donation of $1 million will be dispensed by the foundation over a four-year period. To date, the hospital has raised $1.2 million of its $2.8 million goal in

order to complete all of the construction for the new space. To donate, contact the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation at 613.549.5452. Learn more about the W. J. Henderson Centre for Patient-Oriented Research at www.uhkf.ca/cporcase.

Quarry Press gears up for another successful season with the 2014 Kingston Calendar hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette News — Last year, the Kingston Calendar 2013 proved to be a huge hit, selling out completely just days before Christmas. The calendar’s rather sudden success in late December caught co-author and publisher of Quarry Press Bob Hilderley a bit off guard. “By [mid-December of last year] we still had truckloads of them,” he recalls. “We hadn’t sold more than two or three hundred copies and at the time we were looking at the prospect of losing most of our investment. And then suddenly, partly because of the good coverage we received from the media, the calendar took off. By the time we got to Christmas, we didn’t

have any copies left.” This year, Hilderley made sure to prepare for a much higher demand. He doubled the print run, and accounts responded by doubling their orders. Chapters has devoted a “power wall” to displaying the calendar, and Novel Idea has it racked front and centre. New accounts include Tourism Kingston, Wayfarer Books, Send in the Clowns, Cooke’s Fine Foods, The Campus Bookstore, Troutdale’s General Store and the CANEX stores at RMC and CFB Kingston. While the 2013 calendar focused on historical paintings of downtown Kingston from the 18th and 19th centuries, this year Hilderley and co-authors Mary Alice Downie and Brian Osborne decided to venture outside the boundaries of the city. “We have paintings that are coming

from Sydenham, from Amherst Island, from Prince Edward County,” Hilderley explains, noting that they’ve also branched out from cityscapes and landscapes to include a painting of the great green moth of Upper Canada and photographs of some of the stained glass work in City Hall’s Memorial Hall. “Brian championed the moth,” Hilderley notes. “He wanted to see more flora and fauna in this calendar. Mary Alice, she’s the person that discovers things all over the place. She found the whole story of the St. Lawrence [tall ship] .” The calendar features several paintings related to the historic tall ship, including one of it being built in 1914, one if it sailing in front of City Hall in 1885 and one of the area where the ship was eventually sunk. “We had no intention of [telling a story],” Hilderley explains. “We put it all down together and then said ‘oh that’s connected to that and that to that’. Something about Kingston enables you to connect in ways that you may not anywhere else.” Other pages feature Thomas Borrowes’ mid-19th century watercolour of a picnic held on the grounds of what is now known as The Point in Sydenham; C.S. Wrenshall’s painting of the Morton Distillery, now the site of the Tett Centre and Elizabeth Bader Theatre; and John Burrows Honey’s 1845 painting of Kingston Mills. Each page is accompanied by a relevant literary quotation and information about the painting and painter. “What we were looking for in this Place your ad in EMC Classifieds

case was proof that Kingston was the art capital of the province of Canada if not all of Canada [at the time],” Hilderley says. “Manly Macdonald, the person from Prince Edward County [featured in the calendar], came into Kingston to paint. He got pictures of City Hall and other Kingston sites and then he went back to Belleville to live. Same thing with Thomas Borrowes…He retired from directing the construction the Rideau Canal, and what does he do? He stays close by so he can be part of the artistic community.” Hilderley explains that this could have been due to the political reality of the time, as Kingston was home to the Royal Navy, but he suspects there is more to it than that. “Something else we have noted is the calendar is full of skies,” he says. “They’re all different colours and different takes on it. What may have drawn a lot of the painters to work here was that they were able to look in any direction and see the water and the sky merging.” Hilderley notes that the momentum of last year’s calendar seems to have carried over to this

year’s, and that the 2014 Kingston Calendar has already been very popular. “I’d say the response started two weeks earlier this year,” he says. “So people do want to get the calendar before they’re disappointed and don’t have it for next year.” Other recent successful publications by Quarry Press include War of 1812: The Marine Art of Peter Rindlisbacher; Oh What a Feeling: A Vital History of Canadian Music; and The Illustrated History of Hockey: NHL Era: Collector’s Edition. The small, locally owned and operated press focuses on publishing works related to Canadian history and culture.

Bigger is never better when it comes to government documents Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Editorial — A recent dictum from Stewardship Ontario regarding the disposing of household hazardous waste came in at more than 50 pages when you include the agreement appendix. When you think about it, government documents are obscenely overwritten. For example, the 10 Commandments fit on two stone tablets, but they were written in fairly large type and could easily have fit on a single tablet. Our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms easily fits on one page. In fact when it was passed, the government sent one of these pages to every citizen (I still have mine, anybody else?). It almost seems like the more important a document is, the smaller it tends to be. Shouldn’t there be a message here for those bellying up to the public

trough? Surely everybody who writes government documents has heard the old anecdote of the teacher who graded papers by dropping them down a staircase. The further the paper dropped, the higher the mark it would receive. And, because the more paper a document had, the heavier it would be and presumably the further it would drop. Of course, this anecdote was always intended as sarcasm. The point was to write clearly and concisely. But it would seem that those drawn to public service tend to be those who interpreted this story literally, believing that the longer their paper, the more words, the more pages, the better it would be. They crank out these reams of paper and line up for their praise and Apluses. Here’s a better anecdote: brevity is the soul of wit. There is a real downside to these unnecessarily long reports, directives and updates. They take much longer to read (translating into more staff time for those to which these things are required reading) and because of extra verbiage and superfluous material, they tend to do nothing more than muddy

the waters of what seemingly are important issues. And lest you think these terrible tomes are the strict purview of federal and provincial bureaucrats, the County has plenty of shelf cookies taking up more space than they deserve. Trust me, I’ve had to read them. Printing costs are another unnecessary expense at work here, not to mention dead trees. And for what? Now everybody wants to protect the environment, but seriously, does it take 50 pages to outline how to do this? No doubt there were several ‘brainstorming’ sessions required to come up with these examples of overthinking. And just for the record, the phrase “mountain of evidence” is a metaphor you morons. It’s not an inducement to create a paper hill. Nor is the word “thick” a good thing when applied to government reports. It’s a good thing when applied to steaks and a few other applications. In the interest of practicing what one preaches, here’s what this particular column could (should) be reduced to were it not for the fact that there is a designated amount of space to be filled — Keep It Simple, Stupid.

My “Father” Christmas experience Hollie Pratt-Campbell Asst. Editor

@hollieprattcamp

“No, you need to stay here with your mother,” he said, his tone turning stern. I agreed, but I wasn’t happy about it. Ten minutes later, in came Santa. One by one, all of the children went up, sat on his knee and received a small toy. All of the children except me. Sulking near the back of the room, I played halfheartedly with a balloon and waited for the party to be over. “Why don’t you want to go up?” my mom asked. I didn’t know why, exactly. The whole situation just felt weird. My parents and I have discussed this incident a number of times over the years, all of us agreeing that it is a remarkable example of unconscious denial. Obviously I knew, on some level, that my dad was Santa. Somehow I understood that if I went up to see him I would recognize his voice and we would both know that I knew it was him. But I couldn’t admit it - not to my parents and not to myself, because then I would have to concede that Santa didn’t really exist, other than in the form of my dad which, of course, carries huge symbolic relevance in terms of the Santa myth.

Heritage Editorial - When I was four years old, the company my dad worked for threw a big Christmas party for the families of all the employees. It was at this Christmas party that one of my earliest concrete memories was formed. I was decorating gingerbread cookies with some of the other children, when suddenly I caught sight of my dad exiting the room. I ran to catch up, and asked where he was going. “Santa has arrived,” he told me. “He asked me to go out back and help watch his reindeer.” Naturally, I wanted to come with him to see the reindeer. “But then you won’t get to see Santa and you won’t get a present,” my dad said. I told him I would much rather help out with the reindeer. Maybe I could even feed them some carrots.

I went on believing in Santa for two or three more years. As far as I can remember my belief was genuine, but I certainly wasn’t shocked or upset when I finally clued in. “You guys are Santa, aren’t you?” I asked my mom one day. “Yes,” she said with a smirk. “I still get presents, right?” “Of course.” And that was that. I mourned a little for having to let go of this magical aspect of childhood, but more than anything I felt relieved to finally be in on the truth. I thought about this story the other day when we were talking to friends who are also parents of a young toddler. They said that they are considering telling their son upfront that Santa is just a fun, pretend tradition. There are times in my life when I would have agreed completely with this decision, and I still think it has a certain degree of merit. If Summer starts questioning how Santa accomplishes all of the seemingly impossible Christmas Eve feats, for instance, I don’t think it’s really my style to enthusiastically DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES

In Our Opinion

Have a safe holiday season

Heritage Editorial - With the holidays fast approaching, it is important to remember to be safe this holiday season, especially when alcohol is involved. Inevitably, many of our readers will attend parties and gatherings where eggnog and other festive beverages are present and we just want to gently remind those that indulge to not drive. The advertising and awareness campaigns against drunk driving are everywhere this time of year and yet there are still multiple reports every weekend of drivers getting behind the wheel when they shouldn’t. According to MADD there are approximately 1,100 impairmentrelated crash deaths a year in Canada, which equates to just over three deaths a day. Sadly, these numbers increase each year and so do the number of violations seen by the police. Police services across Canada reported 90,277 impaired driving incidents in 2011 according to Statistics Canada. Luckily not all of these incidents involve fatalities, but this number is shocking, especially when you consider the amount of education that now exists regarding impaired driving. Perhaps education and awareness needs to be amped up even more? Perhaps penalties associated with impaired driving need to be increased? Something needs to change in order to make this issue more prevalent. We need to see these numbers dropping each year until this is no longer an issue. The above statistics are especially staggering when you consider the numerous options that exist for people who are impaired to get home safely. In Kingston we have Operation Red Nose, which is a free service, there are multiple cab companies and there are surely numerous friends and family members that would assist individuals who feel like they should not get behind the wheel. Ultimately it is a personal decision, but this holiday season think about those around you before you get into the car and drive home after a few drinks. Think of the families you may be affecting if you cause an accident. Their Christmas is just as important as yours and they’d like to be able to get on the roads and not worry about the actions of others. Happy Holidays everyone and enjoy the festivities – safely! affirm that he does it all by magic. I can’t remember how my parents approached this topic, likely because I never asked too many questions. Judging by the Christmas party incident, I probably knew deep down that I didn’t want to know the truth. I accepted the Santa story for what it was and enjoyed it, not needing to know all the answers. This Christmas, Summer is still too young to really get into the whole Santa story, but I have every intention of telling her that Santa will be visiting on Christmas Eve to bring her presents. We will read books and watch movies about Santa, and she will visit the jolly old elf at the mall. I hope that she pretends to believe for many years, even if she knows deep

down it’s not true. I hope she doesn’t become obsessed with “understanding” every single logistical detail of how Santa is able to fly around the world and visit every child who celebrates Christmas in a single night. Because Santa is so much more than that. He represents the spirit of kindness and generosity that many people seem to feel more strongly at this time of year. He represents the excitement that infects people of all ages Christmas Eve night, as we happily anticipate what the next day will bring. He represents a beloved aspect of our culture that takes on different meanings as we pass through various life stages - and you’re never too old to appreciate this special kind of magic.

Daytripper

Places to explore and things to experience

Culture abounds in New York New York is a city of big numbers. There are more than 6,000 subway cars and 468 subway stations in a system with more than 840 miles of tracks serving 5.3 million riders a week. In this final segment about visiting New York City, I’ll look at dining opportunities and museums. The Trip Advisor website reviews more than 11,000 restaurants in the city. I recently learned that if you dined out every night of your life in New York City, you would not be able to try every restaurant. I won’t even be touching on the “best of” in terms of expense and fine dining. I’m looking at places that are simply fun and have good food. Most important advice: The food gets better and the prices lower as you move away from Times Square. I’ve rarely had a great meal in the immediate Times Square area, and, when I have, the prices were outrageous. There’s one exception: make sure to visit Ellen’s Stardust Diner at 1650 Broadway at West 51st Street. It’s pure fun, a retro 1950s-themed diner filled with nostalgic memorabilia. Ellen’s features singing wait staff who perform songs from Broadway musicals while carrying your order and running the cash. It’s quite a sight. Don’t be surprised when your server jumps onto the railing behind your seat and walks along while crooning a tune.

I’ve mentioned in previous weeks that you should get over to Ninth Avenue and the Hell’s Kitchen area. There are too many great restaurants to name along Ninth Avenue. Wander between W 42nd Street and W 54th. You’ll find an endless number of unique restaurants and shops. Haven’t found a bad one yet, and I’ve tried a lot of them. For fabulous Mexican food, there’s El Azteca at 783 Ninth Avenue at W 52nd. (Caution, it gets loud when locals let loose after work on Friday evenings.) Burger fans will love Five Napkin Burger at 626 Ninth Avenue at W 45th. Prefer vegetarian? Zen Palate at 663 9th Ave is ideal. I’m ever thankful to actor Kirsten Holly Smith for introducing me to this place. Their welcome information reads: “With the highest standards of social responsibility, we aim to be a positive influence on customers, communities, partners and our natural environments.” Coolio. Pietrasanta is a lovely family-run Italian spot at the corner of Ninth Avenue and West 47th. It’s right out of the movies. Last winter I watched a fellow propose to his girlfriend (she said, “Yes”) at the table across from mine. I thought I was in the That’s Amore scene from Disney’s Lady and the Tramp.

Trousdale’s General Store: Filled with the magic of the season Columnist

Gazette News — Trousdale’s General Store, located in the heart of Sydenham village, is a treasure trove of unique finds. Push open the door and it’s impossible not to get swept up in the spirit of Christmas. This enchanting world is also the oldest general store in Canada. It’s a reminder of a time and a place that today still captures the joy of this magical holiday season. The store has been owned and operated by the Trousdale family since 1836. Originally it was a bakeshop, and then a hardware and general store where customers came to collect their groceries and supplies. “Back in the day, the store was the busiest on a Saturday night. All the chores done on the farm, people cleaned, dressed up and came into the store for weekly groceries. Some might bring a fiddle and the store stayed open late for much socializing,” says Ginny Trousdale, current operator of the classic village landmark. Ginny and her husband John Trousdale carry on this tradition today. Ginny worked as a grief counselor for many years. In 2004, after her children had grown and with the passing of John’s parents, she decided to help out in the family business. John was busy with the other new stores, Trousdale’s Foodland and the Home Hardware. Ginny is an artist, a painter and photographer with a keen eye. She used these skills to recreate the old general store by reinstating original fixtures, artifacts and memorabilia. The store has been open longer than there have been shopping bags in exis-

tence. There has always been a Trousdale behind the counter. John worked in the family business since he was a child. Long ago, you would find his parents Noble and Marg Trousdale behind the counter. “Customers would come in with their lists,” says Ginny. “You would advise what you required for supplies. Noble would then send John off in search of it behind one of the cubbies in the large walnut counter.” You will discover the very same counter on your visit today. Search out the pictures of Winston Churchill or other vintage finds such as old tins, the original gas pump, fashionable hats and the old ice cream parlor from the 1930s. The store is a destination worth seeking out at only a 25-minute drive from Kingston. Sydenham village is buzzing with cottagers in the summer and those seeking outdoor pursuits long into the winter. The past meets the present at Trousdale’s. Hear the soft hum of your favorite holiday tune, and be greeted by a warm smile from the staff. The old shelves are lined with preserves, jams, jellies, olive oils and every kitchen gadget you can imagine. The best part is the friendly assistance you will receive in finding the perfect gift for a friend or family member, or even a little something for yourself. “A customer came in and said, ‘I’m looking for two bizarre things.’ Ginny laughed. “[I replied] ‘Well, you’ve certainly come to the right place’.” There is something for everyone on your list. Shop for goods and goodies that are noteworthy, whimsical and useful such as vintage toys, books, cards, women’s boutique clothing and jewelry,

warm wooly socks, tea towels and special holiday decorations and even “Get Along with Your Co-Worker’ gum. Shop for loads of stocking stuffers and gifts for everyone on your list. If you are a foodie, this is paradise. Purchase beautiful full fruit preserves, British Yorkshire teas, Dundee marmalades in whisky and champagne, easy to prepare dips, and an Everything Sauce that literally can be paired with anything such as bread, cheese, chicken and vegetables among other things. It makes boring old meatloaf or a plain sandwich memorable. Cooking gadgets to make life easier are also available, such as the handy silicone banana leaf lids. They’re BPA free and can be heated up to 428 degrees F. Super for cooking messy things in the oven that splatter or for transporting lasagna to a friend’s for dinner. “I swear by the Daddios bake ware,” says Ginny. “I’ve been making pies for years. Last year when my son married I volunteered to make the pies. The end result was a consistent golden crust, perfect in colour.” I fell in love with the Don Stinson wooden bowls and vessels sculptures. Trousdale’s has a display of designs. Stinson bowls are so well sought after that you will find them in stores around the world, each one a unique handmade design. “Chocolate is now a food group,” Ginny says. “We have Newfoundland chocolate wrapped in charming images of the houses that line the streets of that region.”

You will discover chocolate in all its forms at Trousdale’s - sinful and delicious dark chocolate and even Johnny Walker filled with whisky and chocolate popcorn. Taste and sample while you’re there. I tried the Perth Pepper and Pestle products made into a warm Bombay cranberry squash dip from a recipe available in store and the Wildly Delicious pink peppercorn dip. If you are looking for easy things to prepare, for some selections you simply twist the lid, warm and serve. Find the cold pressed artisan camelina oil from Three Farmers. The oil is rich in omega-3 and vitamin E. Also, check out the family-owned Ralo olive oils. “Ralo oils are a local Ontario business. The owner travels to Greece and hand picks the olives used in his oils and then he hand delivers the goods to us. It’s just great that this style of trade still exists,” Ginny says. Trousdale’s prides itself on customer service and quality products. The story goes that if they didn’t have it in stock they would find it for you. In the past customers would barter for goods and things were bought on credit. While bartering doesn’t happen anymore, what you will still find is good old-fashioned friendliness and kindness. What better reason to shop local? The store is a museum in its own right. “It holds loads of memories,” says Ginny.

“I remember when my daughter was born she was so tiny that we would bring her down each day to be weighed on the scales to be sure she was gaining.” The store has changed, but the high tin ceilings, old floors, doors and cabinets remain. When I push open the door, I can still imagine the history in those walls. The early starts to heat up the oven in the shop. The waft of warm butter and vanilla mingling in the air as the original baker peeled the loaves of bread and fresh baking from the large oven. He used a 12foot peel to reach into the depths of the oven. “He would deliver the goods to the mica mines for storage or to the villagers. The old horse knew the path well and pulled the cart along the familiar route,” Ginny explains. Today, the original cart can be found in the window of the store. As I leave the store, I turn back and see the warm glow of Christmas bursting from its windows. I love this time of the year; this little shop brings to mind how magical this season continues to be. Trousdale’s General Store is located at 4395 Mill Street, Sydenham. Visit the website for a glimpse inside at www.canadasoldestgeneralstore.com. The store is open daily from 9:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and on weekends 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. If you have a restaurant or foodie biz that you would like me to check out please email ladydinesalot@gmail.com or follow my blog Ladydinesalot.com or facebook.

Comedian Scott McMann brings unique brand of humour to Kingston’s new Absolute Comedy club and comedian Scott McMann, who spent some time in Kingston while at St. Lawrence College, is excited Gazette Events — The old adage to host a few evenings at the new says that laughter is the best medi- club. “I’m excited to see the new cine, and now Kingstonians have a new place to go when they are in club,” said McMann. “There is one the mood for a night of laughter in Ottawa and a newer one in Toand entertainment. Absolute Com- ronto and now a brand new club edy recently opened in Kingston in Kingston. I think it is a great fit for a city like Kingston and I hope it will be successful like the others.” McMann has been performing as a stand up comedian for almost 20 years and although he jokes that he is no longer young and hip, he still Southern Frontenac enjoys performCommunity Services ing and interactCorporation ing with an audience.

now I am out of because I love it so much,” explained McMann, “It took me a while to get the guts up to do my first stand up routine, but once I did it I was hooked and I have been ever since. I have a fulltime job, but I try to do as many shows as I can in a year and the shows that are coming up are pretty exciting.” For McMann, comedy is about making people laugh, but it is also about tackling some tougher and sometimes taboo issues. He believes that there is a comedic aspect to every issue and although sometimes people may get offended, he tries to make light of harder issues. “I tend to toggle between stuff on my family and world events or historic events. I try to take a different sort of angle on them and see what I can find that is funny about a situation,” said McMann. “It is tough in Canada because Canadians tend to get offended just

from hearing specific words. They don’t even really hear what you are saying sometimes, they just hear the word, whether it be cancer or Terry Fox or whatever and then they shut down. It is almost like those things are sacred and they are protected and I think that there is an opportunity to show irony or juxtaposition in a comedic way on those issues.” McMann, who works at a marketing and PR firm during the day, sees comedy as a creative outlet. While he enjoys his career and other hobbies, comedy has always been a passion “I don’t mind getting paid to do gigs, but I also view it as just another avenue for my creativity. I see it as an opportunity to comment on the world and my family and situations. For me, I don’t believe that there are any issues that don’t have the ability to be comedic in some way and finding those ways is exciting for me.”

The shows at Absolute Comedy in Kingston run from Dec. 18 to 21 and McMann gets to play host for the evening; while this role is different from his usual gigs, he is looking forward to interacting with the audience and setting the stage for his colleagues. “It is my job to set the stage for the other comics coming up. People will see many different types of styles and takes on comedy and my role in terms of being a host is to help set the stage and create the mood of the audience,” said McMann. “I would encourage people to come out because it is a new place to be entertained in Kingston and they should support that and I think they will see a really good show. The comedians are all really funny and I like to think that I am too.” For tickets to the shows or for more information on Absolute Comedy in Kingston visit www.absolutecomedy.ca

Mark Bergin

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

In giving, these students received The students participated in a number of cultural activities, including Spanish lessons, tortilla making and using traditional methods to create chocolate from cacao beans. I met with the group, including the teachers and all the students. When I asked if they’d do it again, there was a resounding chorus of: “We’re going back.” Most said they will return, perhaps after high school for a three month internship. “I think we got more from the experience than we were giving,” said Kaitlyn Hart. The students adjusted to life in Nicaragua quickly. It appears that it’s been more difficult for them to re-adjust to life in Canada. “We had some misconceptions,” said Christian Prent. “When we got there, we were expecting it to be really run down and no one would be happy. But their attitude was the opposite. Everyone was happy. Even in the countryside where things were badly run down, people were still happy.” Alexandra Horeczy said she found the Nicaraguan people to be accepting and welcoming. “It was a definite cultural shift,” she said. “One thing I notice when traveling around Canada is that locals expect you to assimilate quickly and get frustrated if you don’t. In El Manzano Uno everyone was more willing to teach us about the culture instead of expecting us to know it. They were so accepting of International Baccalaureate students and two teachers from Regiopolis-Notre Dame everyone.” Catholic High School travelled to Nicaragua in early December to help build a high school Continued on page 17

and offer community services.

R0012469062

A group of 13 Kingston International Baccalaureate (IB) students and two teachers who have returned from a trip to Nicaragua aren’t sure who benefited more: themselves or the people they went to help. “The students volunteered with Waves of Hope, a non-profit community development program in El Manzano Uno, Nicaragua,” said Francine Delvecchio, Coordinator of the International Baccalaureate Program at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School, who also went on the trip. “One of the founders of this organization, Earl Cahill, is a graduate of Regiopolis-Notre Dame.” The Canadian students are all enrolled in the IB program at Regi. Delvecchio said the International Baccalaureate is a rigorous academic program that demands that the students be highly motivated and interested in education with a global perspective. “Students who are seeking a challenging academic program choose the program,” she said. “It offers students unparalleled preparation for university.” The students brought donations for the community. The gifts included Regi sports jerseys for teams, baseball equipment, school supplies and clothing. While in Nicaragua, the students assisted with the construction of a new high school. The work included digging a huge pit for the school’s septic system and painting the new school. They also led Kid’s Club activities, teaching them to play mini stick hockey and soccer, making beaded jewellery, reading and decorating Christmas cookies.

Community Foundation celebrates fall grant recipients By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News — Tis’ the season of giving and the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area (CFKA) is certainly doing their part. On Dec. 12, many community members gathered to receive cheques for their successful project applications. In total, CFKA gave out $82,855 to 26 projects at their annual fall grant presentation (there is also a spring presentation). Chair of the grants committee, Linda Lysne, expressed her gratitude as she looked out and saw all of the recipients at the ceremony. “This morning is the reward we get for going through the proposals and going through our decision process,” said Lysne. “We get a chance to meet the people who

have submitted proposals and we get a chance to speak to them about their projects. We get to hear, in their own words, what they plan to do with the funds they receive.” Each recipient was called forward at the ceremony to receive their cheque and to briefly explain their project. While their descriptions were brief, it was clear that there are great things happening in our community. Mayor Mark Gerretsen was also in attendance to recognize the recipients and he thanked all of them on behalf of the city. “In the city of Kingston, we are very lucky to have the number of volunteers and organizations that contribute to the high quality of life that we have,” said Gerretsen. “I and all of the councilors that I sit around the table with know that we could never provide the quality of life that we have

without all of you and without the organizations that do the work that all of you do.” This year, a number of the recipients were accepting grants for the second or third time, including Winter Warmth, a project run by Michele Gibson. The program started 24 years ago and Gibson and her team work hard each year to ensure that children have proper clothing for the seasons. “School social workers send us information – no names – just a size, sex and what they need,” explained Gibson. “We get the clothing to the school social worker and then it gets discreetly delivered to the children. The money will be well spent and all of it will go to the kids.” This year marks the third year that Winter Warmth has received a grant from CFKA and each year they are grateful to

have the extra funds. Their grant this year was for $5000 and came from the Dr. Samuel Robinson Charitable Foundation and Gibson is confident that they will spend every penny. “We had a call for 36 kids alone one day in November,” said Gibson. “We buy everything from socks to coats to boots, underwear, whatever they need. The funding is huge for us. We have spent in excess of $10,000 this fall alone and the need is huge so we greatly appreciate the boost.” Winter Warmth is entirely volunteer run and was started by a group of individuals at the Ministry of Health. Gibson works for the Ministry along with Marie-Ann Carey, who volunteers as a shopper for the organization. Carey has been shopping almost every night since the fall and she expects to keep shopping every night until the spring. “It is extremely overwhelming sometimes especially from the shopping side of it,” said Carey. “ I am just happy that when we go to pay for it, all the funds are there and that is the most important part. Our funds are getting really low at this time of year so the Community Foundation grant is

really helpful.” Winter Warmth clothes between 250 and 300 kids a year and the numbers are increasing each year. In addition to winter clothing, they provide gym shorts in the summer and running shoes or other footwear throughout the school year. “We get calls in May from social workers telling us that kids are still wearing their winter boots because they don’t have anything else,” added Carey. “The kids aren’t trying to stand out, they want to fit in and we can help with that. We are so fortunate with our own families and to be able to give back to the community and to teach our children to give back to the community is so great. We are blessed and we want to help others.” “The best part for us is knowing that the kids are looked after,” said Gibson. “We get notes from social workers all the time telling us how appreciative the kids are and that is great to hear. One social worker told us that if they could box all of the smiles that they received today and give them to us they would and that is amazing for us to hear.”

Culture abounds in New York

Continued from page 10

Late one night a friend and I were seated at a little restaurant on Ninth Avenue run by a Middle Eastern family who, due to their religious beliefs, will not serve any alcohol. We wanted a glass of wine. The woman serving us said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are welcome to run across the street to the wine store and bring in your own bottle. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind opening it yourself, I will give you a corkscrew.â&#x20AC;? All of this was said in a very friendly, accepting manner. Yup, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I love New York. Near Ninth Avenue, at Swing 46 on W 46th Street (Restaurant Row) youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get good food (the salmon is divine) along with big band entertainment. Swingadelic, one of the finest swing bands, plays there regularly. Some nights, the club offers free swing jazz dance lessons. The instructor knows his

stuff and will put you at ease. Or you can just watch others having fun on the dance floor. One of my favorite bars is the Russian Vodka Room at 265 W 52nd Street. The cocktails (like ginger-infused vodka) are described as unflinchingly Russian. The place has my favorite piano man. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll switch from jazz to Tchaikovsky without a noticeable transition. The restaurant in the back room is superb. The duck is wonderful. For reasonably priced, high quality Japanese food, visit Fuji Sushi at 238 W 56th. They have a full Japanese menu, serving teppenyaki and teriyaki, in addition to sushi. The environment reflects a beautiful simplicity. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shopping and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a nice break in a surprisingly calm setting in the middle of all the chaos, go to Heartland Brewery (www.

heartlandbrewery.com). Heartland is usually calmer than the world around it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downstairs in the Empire State Building, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34 Street. It has its own microbrewery on site. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m quite fond of Brasserie Cognac at 1740 Broadway at W 55th Street. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called upscale fine dining (French cuisine), but where else can you get a filet mignon burger? Lanskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deli at 235 Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side will give you huge portions at reasonable prices. They bill themselves as the quintessential modern classic Jewish deli. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Greenwich Village seems to be home to the greatest concentration of bakeries, especially artisan and fine Italian bakeries, in the city. Without compare, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find great family-run restaurants in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

European masterpiece paintings. The collection of small bronze sculptures is considered one the finest in the world. At 214 Center Street in Chinatown, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find The Museum of Chinese in the Americas (MoCA). The museum is the first full-time professionally staffed centre dedicated to Chinese culture and immigrants and their descendants in the West. An elaborate independent museum is The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, located on Staten Island. Getting there on the free Staten Island Ferry is part of the fun. The museum is home to an extensive collection of Himalyan art and artifacts. It was created to serve as a bridge between the West and the rich ancient and cultural traditions of Tibet and the Himalayas. Jacques Marchais (the professional name of Jacqueline Klauber) created the setting to resemble a Himalayan monastery, featuring terraced gardens and grounds and a fish and lotus pond. The Dalai Lama visited in 1991 and praised the settingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authenticity. Perhaps two of the quirkiest museums in New York are the Coney Island Museum (http://www.coneyisland.com/ programs), and the Tenement Museum. The Coney Island setting features things related to Coney Island in Brooklyn. The Tenement Museum (www.tenement.org) at 103 Orchard Street on the Lower East Side looks at the immigrant experience, past and present, and how they shaped North America. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ideal setting to see life beyond the facades. Where to eat or visit in New York? Flip a coin. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no lack of culture. On Twitter @markaidanbergin.

Little Italy along Mulberry Street. Several locations seat less than 20 diners. You can get a lunch special for around $10 in some of them. Italian friends tell me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real deal. I just know the food is great. For sheer elegance, try the Russian Tea Room at 150 W 57th Street. Despite the name, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a full-scale restaurant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not cheap, but if you want opulence, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the place to visit. You could also just go in for a drink at the bar and absorb the surroundings for a little while. Same goes for the Algonquin Hotel. Have a drink in the lobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lounge and soak up the luxurious surroundings. The last thing to mention in this three-part series on New York City is the opportunity to visit many unique museums. Places like the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) are some of the finest museums in the world. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a good cross section of New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museums at http://www. ny.com/museums/all.museums.html. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss some of the smaller and quirkier places. At the Museum of New York at 1220 Fifth Avenue, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll explore the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own history. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Scandinavian museum, The Scandinavian House: The Nordic Center in America (www.scandinaviahouse. org) at 58 Park Avenue at 38th St. For art aficianados, make sure to visit the Frick Collection at 1 E 70th Street on the Upper East Side. The collection includes Old Master and 19th century works, Limoges enamels and porcelains, 18th century French furniture and many

In giving, these students received “I think they’re happier because they have a sense of community,” said Elisabeth Trickey. “We don’t have the same sense of community with everyone helping each other in Canada. We heard about how Earl Cahill was going to build a house in the community. He left it up to the community to choose who would get the house. They all came together and chose a woman who had five kids of her own and had taken in a neighbor’s eight kids. There is that sense that everyone is not just in it for themselves. That kind of support has to do with their happiness.” The students all think that Canadians should get more involved in their communities and do more to help others at home and abroad. “Even if Nicaragua was not the best environment, it was an experience that changes your life,” said Sydney Hampton. Alexandra said she looks at things differently at home. “I noticed walking down the school hall yesterday that a girl was complaining that her mother had not picked the exact color of water bottle she wanted,” she said. “After you go to a place like Nicaragua and realize how little they have.” She stopped and shook her head. Kristen Finn said that even though IB students may be very busy, making the time for this kind of volunteer trip is worth it. “It changed my perspective completely,” she said. “We’re only taught MATT DUSK that when someone has a need, we Opening Night should help.

This couple came to visit the volunteers where they were staying. When they came into the house the man was ashamed because he had nothing to give.

Regina-built 1940 Pontiac with same owner 35 years Gazette Lifestyle – George Rogers of Winnipeg, Manitoba, became active in the old car hobby in 1978 when he purchased his first old car as an adult. The car was an original 1940 Pontiac 2-door sedan being sold by sealed tender for the estate of the original owner. “When I saw it, I just had to own it,” recalls George. “I stewed over my bid, submitted it, then replaced it with a higher bid. To my delight, my second bid won and I later learned that my first bid would not have won. The car was meticulously maintained with 60,000 miles. It was built in Regina, and as a Canadian-built Pontiac, it is more Chevrolet than Pontiac. It has the 216 cubic inch overhead-valve 90 horsepower six cylinder engine, vacuum-powered gearshift (80 per cent automatic, only 20 per cent driver effort according to GM ads), and a 4:11 rear end.” Other Pontiacs for 1940 were equipped with inline flathead six or straight eight engines. “Soon after buying it, I had it repainted (a mistake) because of a few minor fender scrapes and some peeling on the hood. I cleaned and painted the underside and detailed the engine compartment, but the car remains unrestored. A few years ago, I replaced the 4:11 gears with 3:55 gears from a ’52 Powerglide car to give the Pontiac longer legs on the highway. I also had the hubcaps and bumpers replated (the grille and other trim items are original and near perfect), and I added bumper guards, beauty rings, and wide whitewall tires. It’s a lovely tour car, now with

The club was founded in 1960 and now has about 200 members. As George mentions, his 1940

Pontiac was built at the GM plant in Regina. According to Cars of Canada by Durnford and Baechler, that plant opened in December 1928 as a fivebuilding complex that included a body-building plant and a one-third mile test track. The first car built there was a 1929 Chevrolet. Other cars, including McLaughlin-Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile, were also

built there. Regina was selected for its central location as a distribution point and also because labour was available during the farmers’ offseason. The Oshawa factory list price was $1,002 for a 1940 Pontiac Arrow 2-door sedan and $1,059 for the Arrow Deluxe. Regina prices may have been slightly higher.

Fog-bound Christmas a lasting holiday memory By Jeff Maguire Columnist

Gazette Lifestyle – Christmas is just around the corner and because this is the busiest time of the year for travel, many people are watching the longterm weather forecasts with increased interest hoping they or their loved ones won’t be impacted by severe conditions this year. In Canada the most common December travel concerns are snow, freezing rain, high winds, intense cold or a combination of those factors. With millions driving or flying during the holiday season the emphasis on the forecast is more than understandable. Being stranded on the side of the highway or stuck in an airport or bus terminal for interminable periods is certain to put a major damper on anyone’s holiday spirit. Most Canadians have “been there and done that” when it comes to wintry weather! A few days ago I had a long telephone conversation with my friend in West Yorkshire, England. Martin is a man of many talents but for two decades he has worked as a combination driver/ tour guide for a small, family operated coach (bus) company based just outside Pontefract. Over the years he has driven in all kinds of weather and experienced virtually every hazardous highway situation you can imagine in the United Kingdom, Ireland and across continental Europe. So, with the busy Christmas/New Year 2013 looming I asked Martin what his main fear is when taking a coach loaded with merry-makers on an excur-

sion. He answered with a single word – “fog!” Great Britain, Ireland and many other parts of Europe are heavily influenced by the sea. Countries with Maritime climates are highly susceptible to the formation of fog, especially during the damp, cool winter months. “There is nothing worse than trying to drive a 13-tonne coach along a narrow English road,” he stressed. “Add fog to that and – well, you can imagine!” He then proceeded to relate a litany of stories relative to driving in fog that would make even the bravest motorist park their vehicle and walk away. I have a few fog-related travel stories of my own actually. One of the worst occurred at Christmas-time. So I was able to counter Martin’s fog-bound driving tales with one of my own. I will now relate it to you. Fog in winter is obviously a less common occurrence in Canada where cold and snow are the norm. But in southwestern Ontario, where Kathleen and I were living in the early 1970s, the Great Lakes can be influential in the formation of some impressive fog banks. Rare occurrence This particular occurrence, however, was far more extensive and long lasting. It was 1974 and we were living in St. Thomas, Ontario south of London where I was a reporter-photographer and later city editor for the daily St. Thomas Times-Journal newspaper. We didn’t have children at the time and our habit at Christmas was to take turns, spending one season with Kathy’s

family in nearby Chatham and the next with my family in Stittsville. It was my turn and our plan was to fly from London to Ottawa to eliminate what is nearly a seven-hour drive. We booked early with Air Canada and everything was in readiness when the weather conditions cruelly intervened. Mild conditions set in the week before we were scheduled to fly, something that isn’t unusual in southwestern Ontario. There was some snow on the ground and combined with a blanket of warm and damp air, heavy fog formed. We weren’t unduly worried at first. But the fog persisted – for days and days. It was thick and as Christmas neared it turned to “pea soup.” We were due to depart for Ottawa Dec. 22. But our flight was canceled and we were advised to return to London Airport the next day. On the morning of Dec. 23 the fog was still really thick. We drove to nearby London knowing there would be no turning back. Not if we were to make it to my parents’ house in time for Christmas! Not surprisingly, considering the ongoing shroud of fog, flights were grounded. But in deference to the season Air Canada had laid on a fleet of buses. The idea was to take passengers to Toronto in hope they could arrange flights from the larger Toronto International Airport (now Pearson Airport). With our luggage, including Christmas gifts, safely stowed underneath we boarded the bus for an approximately two-hour drive to Toronto. By comparison our London to Ottawa flight would have taken just over an hour.

It wasn’t hard to see that the fog was still with us. In fact the weather forecasts we followed so closely prior to leaving home showed the dense blanket of fog covered all of southern Ontario from Windsor to the Quebec border. Sadly for our travel plans the news in Toronto was equally bad. Most flights were grounded by the virtually impenetrable, white shroud. Even worse for us the system broke down. There were no plans to bus passengers on to other more distant destinations. We were on our own and there was less than 48 hours until the big day. Instead of panicking we took stock of the situation and weighed the alternatives. The bus got us to Toronto safely. Surely it would also take us to Ottawa? A quick phone call revealed the train wasn’t an option. They were booked solid on Dec. 23. I telephoned the bus terminal in downtown Toronto. “Yes,” I was told. “There is still space available on buses to Ottawa. But get here soon – they’re filling up fast.” I telephoned my parents who advised us to grab a taxi and head for the bus terminal. “Don’t worry about the cost,” my mother stated, “It’s Christmas. We will help you out!” Lengthy journey So, hauling our suitcases and bags we made a run for the main entrance of the airport where the taxis queued. By this time our one-hour plane ride had turned into a five-hour plus adventure. And there were many long hours still ahead! The cabbie (a nice chap as I recall)

was sympathetic to our plight. He did his best to get us to the downtown Toronto bus station as quickly as possible. Once there we had to line up for more than an hour in the then small, cramped station. I recall that Kathy stayed in line while I went to the postage stamp of a snack bar and braved the crowds to land us sandwiches and soft drinks. We were famished! After what seemed forever our bus pulled up and we were ushered aboard. It was jam-packed and ahead was a more than five-hour journey to downtown Ottawa. The bus didn’t stop in Stittsville so my father had to drive into the city and pick us up. The fog was with us for almost the entire excursion. I will never forget where it finally lifted. Just as the coach traversed the Highway 7 bridge at Carleton Place the white curtain was finally raised. By that time it was night and pitch black. But at the junction of Highways 7 and 15 we could finally see everything around us. The temperature locally had cooled considerably and the dense mist had evaporated. At the time we had no inkling that in a few short years Carleton Place would become our permanent home. We have now lived in this community for nearly 38 years. And no, we have never seen fog in our adopted hometown that came anywhere close to what we experienced during that long-ago Christmas when a scheduled one hour flight, turned into a 12-hour odyssey!

come over her face. She didn’t answer right away, and when she did, I noticed a catch in her throat, as if she was going to cough, and she said I had to remember that Santa had a long list of children who wanted some things he just couldn’t supply. And I knew then, I wouldn’t be seeing the white rubber galoshes with the fur down their fronts. I wasn’t too sure what Mother had to do with Santa’s decision. But I soon understood what my sister meant when she said sometimes our mother’s mind was a million miles away. It was mid December. Time to put up the few decorations we had. There was the braided rope made of thin cardboard loops glued together and strung across the kitchen, corner to corner. There were the two hand-made wreaths for the frosted kitchen windows, and the big picture of Santa thumbtacked to the stairwell door. Mother sat and looked at what had been done to try to make the kitchen (the only room in the house warm enough to sit in during the winter), presentable for the holiday season, and she let out a

long sigh. Audrey said Mother was remembering the many Christmas decorations she had when she lived in New York, and which she had described to my sister...things like silver bells for the outside of the door, candlesticks made of pure white wax, and glass holders in the shape of small pine trees for the dining room table. We didn’t even have a dining room on the farm in Northcote! Audrey said this time of year, Mother tried, but couldn’t get her Christmases in New York out of her mind. She remembered shopping in Macie’s Department Store, money to buy just about anything she wanted, glass decorations for the big tree in the parlour, and wrapping paper and ribbon in every colour in the rainbow to wrap the many presents she would buy. The way Audrey explained it, I knew then that Mother secretly pined for all that she had left behind in her beloved New York City, to come to the backwoods of Renfrew County...where every penny was hard-earned. And instead of going to the city bank for money, Mother went to the blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard to take out a few pennies from her “egg money.” And my sister said it was sometimes a sad time for Mother, even though the rest of the family was all caught up in the Christmas spirit out there in Renfrew County. Audrey said I wasn’t to think it was anything I had done to make mother sad. And that made me feel better. Not a lot better. But a little better just the same. And my very wise sister said to me that

I was to try to make our mother forget about her life in that far-away city. And it had nothing to do about being good she said. It had everything to do with trying to keep Mother’s mind busy in our home out there in Northcote. And I asked Audrey how I could do that. And being clever like she was, my sister had the perfect answer. I was to say often how pretty the kitchen was with its hand-made paper streamers stretched across the room... how I loved the smell of her mincemeat pies...and how I loved going into Renfrew with her when she delivered her wares door to door. That seemed simple enough to me. And I like to think it worked, as I took my wise sister’s advice to heart. That year was not unlike any other Christmas on the farm during those lean Depression days. As the day grew closer, Mother’s mood changed. Baking consumed many hours. We five children could hardly contain our excitement. The Christmas concert was ahead of us, the smell of the big pine tree already in the corner of the kitchen filled the room, and there were whispers of secrets not to be shared. There was joy in the house. We would be celebrating the true meaning of Christmas in the Lutheran Church...neighbours would come and go, and we would return their visits. And Mother, for a time, put behind her the memories of another time and another place. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Gazette Lifestyle - My sister Audrey, I thought, was the smartest girl at the Northcote School. And I knew for a fact, she was the smartest of us five children. Couldn’t she braid grass, knit dishcloths, do cross-stitch on tea towels, and recite the Lord’s Prayer and the 23rd Psalm without forgetting a word? And so that day in December, it was my very clever sister Audrey who told me a secret about our mother, that I believed with all my heart to be the gospel

truth. And it also explained much as well, why Mother did the things she did on occasion. Audrey said there was a perfectly good reason why Mother’s mind sometimes seemed to be a million miles away that time of year. I certainly was aware that her thoughts often seemed to be somewhere else, especially when I asked her a question about our own Christmas which was coming up, and which filled me with great anticipation. And the day I asked her if she thought, if I wrote a special letter to Santa Claus, and asked him for a pair of white galoshes with real fur down the fronts, just like bad Marguirite had, would I get them, and I saw a sadness

Amey’s Taxi donates $3,000 in toys to local toy drive Gazette News — There will be significantly more happy children this Christmas thanks to Amey’s Taxi and their generous staff. On Dec. 12, the Kingston taxi company loaded up their cars and brought more than $3,000 worth of toys to the Cataraqui Town Centre for the 98.3 Fly FM/98.9 The Drive annual toy drive. Deanne Buck, a member of the Amey’s team, was happy to see the toys reach their destination. She explained that each year, the team sells chocolate bars, chips and soft drinks out of their office to drivers and staff. Any extra money is put into charity events and contributions. “Everything we raise comes from the staff and the drivers,” Buck said. “It is funny because the drivers come in looking for a drink throughout the week and everything is done on an honour system. We just have a little box for them to pay into and every couple of days I change it and update the snacks. We try to do some other little charity events too but the majority of the funds come from the snacks.” This is the fourth year that Amey’s has donated to the toy drive and each year their contribution grows. The staff push each other to donate, says Buck, who is responsible for stocking and maintaining the snacking area from day to day. It can be challenging at times, she said, but it’s worth it in the end.

“It is a lot of effort sometimes to keep everything stocked and keep it going, but then you realize what it is for and that makes it so much easier and worthwhile. It all comes full circle. Every time they buy a snack or a drink I tell them it is for the kids and that always makes us smile. Every time I update the kind of chips or chocolate bars I tell the staff and drivers that they need to try it because it is for the kids.” Amey’s, which has been operating in Kingston since 1922, also donates to the community in other ways throughout the year. In the summer they send kids to camp through the OWLS program and through Extenda-Family. They also donate to the Partners in Mission Food Bank, Martha’s Table and coat drive programs during the holiday season. Buck and her team see these contributions as a thank you to all of the clients they serve on a daily basis. “We try to give back to people in the city as much as we can because those are our customers and they are the ones using our services every day. We appreciate the business so this is our way of saying thank you to the community. Each year we increase what we are able to do and that is so great to see. We are a small company but we try to make a difference where we can.” One of the best parts of donating to the toy drive for Buck was the shopping. She enjoyed looking through all of the different toys and choosing special things, but she noted that it

was also challenging. “The shopping was great and we tried to think of every age group when we were shopping and that is hard sometimes, especially for older

kids. There are so many kids on the list to buy for so we really wanted to make sure we covered a broad range and hopefully there is something for everyone in there.”

Powerful performances highlight dark, depressing film Gazette Arts – Out of the Furnace is one dark and depressing film. I suppose there’s a beauty in darkness, but this is still one dark and depressing film. Out of the Furnace is about two brothers. Rodney Blaze (Casey Affleck) is a soldier who has done four tours of Iraq. The things he’s seen and done have changed him forever. It’s also led him to get into debt to the local loan shark, John Petty (Willem Dafoe), and start taking part in underground fighting. Russell Blaze (Christian Bale) is a good guy if a bit rough. He works at the steel mill, tries to watch out for his brother, looks after his sick dad, and loves his girlfriend Lena (Zoe Saldana). Then one night he gets behind the wheel drunk and it all changes. He kills a parent and child, and goes to prison. When Russell gets out he’s trying to put his life back together, but Rodney is worse than ever. He’s

fighting and deeper in debt. So deep Rodney talks John into setting up a fight for him with some nasty individuals for some real money. The fights are run by Harlan DeGroat (Woody Harrelson) and he’s the worst of the worst. John and Rodney go up, but they don’t come back. When Chief Wesley Barnes (Forest Whitaker) tells Russell there isn’t much they can do Russell doesn’t take it well. He puts events in motion that put him on a collision course with DeGroat. If I had to guess, and I am only guessing, I’d say director Scott Cooper said to himself, ‘I want to gather some of the most intense individuals in Hollywood and make a movie.’ Out of the Furnace is the result. The story is riveting, the characters are compelling and the dialogue is its own kind of poetry. It’s also violent, dark, and depressing. This is not a feel-good film, yet there’s a kind of beauty here and a kind of art. There’s something cathartic about films like this, and maybe that’s the beauty in the darkness. Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker, and Zoe

off guard by his ferocity and his brutality. It’s the performance of a lifetime. Christian Bale is no stranger to dark roles. This may be one of the darkest. His emotion, and his conviction in this role will tear your heart out. It’s hard to say I enjoyed Out of the Furnace it, but I’m glad I saw it. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Saldana have supporting roles, but it’s amazing what gifted actors can do with even the smallest of parts. Each one gives the kind of pivotal and captivating performance that most actors dream of. Casey Affleck gives all of himself to this role. He holds nothing back. He puts it all out there in a performance that’s utterly raw and sheer brilliance. I was blown away by Woody Harrelson.

Fronts goalie showed promise at an early age Reporter

Gazette Sports – Most young hockey hopefuls choose the position they want to play. Not so for Kingston Frontenacs goaltender Matt Mahalak. “When I was six or seven, they rotated who played net. When it was my turn, they never wanted to take me out,” said the native of Monroe, Michigan. “And I don’t think they could have taken me out if they wanted to.” The Frontenacs are the recent beneficiaries of Mahalak’s aptitude for one of sport’s most challenging positions. Through his first 23 games, Mahalak compiled a record of 12 wins, nine losses, one overtime loss and one shootout loss. He posted a .903 save percentage and a 3.28 goals against average during those games. Kingston acquired Mahalak from the Plymouth Whalers last summer in exchange for two draft picks. Mahalak, 20, is completing his final year of eligibility in the Ontario Hockey League. “We knew we were getting a veteran guy who could come in here, hold down the fort and show young Lucas (Peressini) the ropes,” said Kingston head coach Todd Gill. “I think the fact he won Canadian Hockey League Goaltender of the Week (for the week ending Dec. 1) shows he has played well for us.” Plymouth made Mahalak available after the emergence of Alex Nedeljkovic late last season. The young upstart grabbed the starting role and became the Whalers’ go-to goaltender during the playoffs. While he enjoyed his three seasons in Plymouth and had a “blast,” Mahalak said he knew it was time to move on. He has put last season’s trying situation behind him and settled in nicely with his new club. “I’ve been in the league for a while and I know what it takes to win and win consistently,” he said. “I am glad to come to Kingston and enjoy the opportunity the Frontenacs afforded me.” Mahalak considers himself a member of Kingston’s core group of veterans, a list that includes the likes of Sam Schutt, Michael Moffat, and Darcy Greenaway. “We are trying to do our part to bring that intensity to the rink every day and teach the young guys what it takes to win beyond just talent and skill,” he said. That mentorship role also extends to his relationship with Peressini, the rookie backup. “Matt has tried to take on that leadership role

with Lucas not only verbally but with day-to-day preparations,” Gill said. “Every goalie is different but you can always learn from someone else.” Mahalak said he has offered his teammate a few tips and pointers from time to time. “I remember what it was like my first year. Things are moving so fast and I was away from home for the first time. It was a big transition so I just try to always be there for him,” he said. “He also helps me and we are out there pushing each other to get better.” Improving every day is a major focus for Mahalak as he considers his future in hockey. The Carolina Hurricanes drafted Mahalak in 2011; however, he failed to sign a contract with the team before the deadline last summer. Mahalak said Carolina wasn’t the right fit given the team’s depth in goal. He hopes to earn a professional contract at the end of the season. Mahalak won’t be thinking about that possibility or hockey in general over the holidays. After a game tonight in Peterborough and tomorrow night in Ottawa, the team will have seven days off.

Farm Boy Coupon Book in Support of the Kingston General A Good Helping of Savings & Recipes Eastern Ontario-based Farm Boy is proud to announce the launch of their third annual coupon book in support of the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation. Now in store, the coupon book is packed full of recipes and coupons worth over $100 in savings on Farm Boy favourite products. New this year, the book features the top 25 winning recipes from the Farm Boy Weekly Recipe Contest, like sweet potato burgers, slow cooker beef stew and maple syrup chicken. Also new to this year’s book are some of Farm Boy’s own popular recipes from the Farm Boy Kitchen, like their fresh prepared leek and cauliflower soup and best-selling twice-baked potatoes. The full $10 purchase price will be donated, thanks to a team effort. “Once again this year, with the generous support of our suppliers, we are able to donate the entire purchase price of the book to the Kingston General Hospital in support of their Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU),” says Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. “The Kingston General Hospital NICU touches communities and families across the Kingston region and we are proud to work together with our suppliers and our customers

to help ensure our kids and their families receive much needed care.” “We are excited and honoured to partner up with Farm Boy again,” says Shaun Cerisano Senior Development Officer from the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation. “This year, our combined focus is to support Kingston’s most fragile patients of the NICU at Kingston General Hospital. 100% of proceeds support the purchase of new state of the art isolettes. These isolettes make it much safer and easier for our health care professionals to treat our pre-mature and critically ill babies in Kingston and Southeastern Ontario. This is a win/win for the entire community.” About Farm Boy Located at 940 Futures Gate off Princess Street, Farm Boy is a popular destination in Kingston for fresh quality foods.
