Central revisiting amnesty garbage load program for 2015 By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Central Frontenac’s practice of allowing an ‘amnesty load’ once per year came up for review again at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake and was deferred until the Feb. 24 meeting at the insistence of several councilors. Waste management supervisor Kyle Labbett once again recommended ending the practice, claiming “high operating costs and no identifiable benefits.” In his report, Labbett said that 16 per cent of the population used the Amnesty Load Program in 2014, 15 per cent in 2013, 13 per cent in 2012 and 25 per cent in 2011. “The 16 per cent is deceiving because there are many people who have multiple properties and are signing the books twice or more,” he said. Coun. Tom Dewey agreed that the numbers could be deceiving but for an altogether different reason. “I look at the stats and I feel they may be misleading because a lot of people may use the program one year and not at all the next year,” Dewey said. “Then they may use it again. “I’d like to defer this until we get more feedback from the public.” Dep. Mayor Jamie Riddell agreed with the need for more feedback. “My position is, like Tom, I’d like to hear more from the public before saying yay or nay,” Riddell said. “For example, if we’re

looking at a property standards bylaw, this could be a tool to use so such a bylaw doesn’t impact people affected by it as much.” Labbett also said that the amnesty loads cost the Township about $2,292 per year in administration costs and (using a $30 cost per load) from $14,790 (in 2012) to $28,380 (in 2011) in lost revenue. “All of these annual costs do not include the cost of lost space for future garbage in the Oso waste site, which is now at a premium.” However, Coun. Cindy Kelsey took exception to that point. “I don’t see the amnesty load impacting space at all,” she said. “If you have a load of garbage, you’re taking it to the site whether you pay for it or not. “(And) if they can’t take it to the dump, is it going to be showing up on our roadways?” “I see furniture and mattresses on the roadsides as it is,” said Dewey. “I hate that.” Labbett did however note that the increased recycling streams, including things like clamshells and tetrapacks, as well as accepting things like tires, e-waste and Styrofoam has diminished the need for the program to a certain extent. “We now accept a lot of things for free that we didn’t before,” he said. Coun. Bill MacDonald was one of the few voices in support of cancelling the amnesty program. “I’ve never used it,” he said. “Initially I can support this.” ®

Gazette News — Service levels won’t change despite the OPP’s realigning of its detachments, Insp. Derek Needham and SSgt. Sharron Brown told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The Sharbot Lake Detachment had been under the command of the Lanark Detachment but under realignment, it is now with the Frontenac Detachment, which is headquartered on Hinchinbrooke Road in Hartington. Brown is the detachment commander for both bases now. “Every officer in Sharbot Lake stays there,” Needham said. Needham said the department is looking at the way it delivers services. “There are 160 different calls for service being looked at and they’re now grouped into five categories,” he said. One aspect he said they’d like to cut down on is false alarms. “There were 114 false alarm calls in your area in a year,” he said. “That’s a lot.” However, Council seemed more interested in what it sees as a lack of communication than false alarms. “I was mayor when we first entered into an agreement with the OPP,” said Coun.

MacDonald. “We opted for a ‘status quo’ agreement and were administered from Lanark. “Now it’s back to Frontenac but there was no discussion with Council.” “If we don’t know what’s happening, we can’t help,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “Maybe we need to get together a little more.” Needham suggested forming a Community Policing Advisory Committee. “This would be beneficial to both and citizens and act as a conduit between police and the community,” he said. Needham also said that they’d like to see more community programs, especially like those they’ve recently done with students pointing out the dangers of internet communications as well as the ramifications of ‘sexting’ and related activities. ••• Council adopted Terms of Reference for its Economic Development Committee at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Essentially, the terms amount to a couple of motherhood statements including: “To promote Central Frontenac Township as a great place to live, work, retire and vacation.” However they do include three ‘objectives’ which are to “advise Township Council on: “• Attracting and retaining businesses in the community “• Relevant branding projects “• Attracting tourists to the municipality as a destination.” The current committee consists of Marcel Giroux (chair), Jane Drew, Janina Fisher, Terry Taylor, Karen McGregor, Mayor Frances Smith, Coun. Brent Cameron and Coun. Jamie Riddell. The committee may establish ad hoc subcommittees as required which will have established goals and objectives as well as clearly defined timelines. ••• Council also decided to purchase an ad in the Royal Canadian Legion Service and Recognition Book at a cost of $325 for 1/10 of a page.

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC

Central opts to continue using County staff for planning services Reporter

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Council decided to go with County planning services at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The decision was based on recommendations from Dep. Clerk/ Planning coordinator Cathy MacMunn’s report. Up until last year, Central Frontenac (as well as North Frontenac and Frontenac Islands) had used planning consultant firms for things like severances, subdivisions, plans of condominium and rezoning requests. South Frontenac has its own planner and planning department. However, when Glenn Tunnock moved his operation to the Sudbury area, it became increasingly diffi-

cult to coordinate meeting schedules and such creating something of a planning void. County director of sustainability Joe Gallivan, who has a background in community planning, as does his assistant Peter Young, offered their services as County employees on a trial basis. “I was skeptical in the beginning but this is saving us some money,” said MacMunn. “I heard from Joe and they’re offering the same contract for 2015. In 2013, Central passed a resolution that the Township contract land-use planning services from the County beginning Jan. 1, 2014 and further that all expenses be tracked to determine if the municipality is recovering costs associated with planning services delivered to the private sector. In her report, MacMunn said:

“The 2014 planning costs from the County of Frontenac are $2,454.70. “These costs are associated with private sector applications such as minor variances, consents, zoning and Official Plan amendments and are based on actual time for each planner’s work on a file. The manager of sustainability’s rate is $55 per hour and the community planner is $30 per hour.” She said that under the current contract, there are no fees associated with the processing of municipally-initiated planning applica-

tions such as updating the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw. There have been no charges for public inquiries, pre-consultation meetings, site visits, presence at Council or Committee of Adjustment meetings or the recent Committee of Adjustment training session. “Previously, the costs for planning with a private consulting firm over a five-year period (2009-2012) for township initiated planning requests which included general inquiries, special municipal projects and Official Plan/Zoning Bylaw updates, we paid $65,239 or on av-

erage $13,048 per year,” she said. In 2014, there were nine consent applications, which the County charged $685.20. The costs from a consulting firm would have been $1,080. There were 15 minor variances at a cost of $1,468.15 whereas the cost from a consulting firm would have been $1,800. There were two Zoning Bylaw amendments at a cost of $244.95 as opposed to the $1,900 a consulting firm would have charged and one Official Plan amendment at $56.40 as opposed to $1,500 for a consulting firm.

Central road crews pushing back as winter roads begin narrowing with snow Reporter

Gazette Events – Ashley Williams is once again running exercise sessions for seniors on Monday and Thursday mornings at the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team. These sessions run until mid-March. “There are three classes each morning, with two being more vigorous and one less so,” she said. “We do a little cardio, some aerobic exercise, and we try to focus on balance and coordination. But there’s also a big social component to this, as many of these people wouldn’t get together otherwise.” There’s no charge for the sessions and there’s still room for more people. Call Williams at 613-279-2100, ext: 128 for more details. Photo/Craig Bakay

SINCE

Seniors work(out)

Gazette News — “I’m sure you guys are hearing all the regular complaints,” public works coordinator Kyle Labbett told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake, as he began his roads report. “As weather permits, we’re getting things pushed back.” As it turns out, yes, Council has been hearing complaints. “On some of the back roads in Kennebec, you cannot get two cars past each other,” said Coun. Tom Dewey. Labbett acknowledged there have been concerns about diminishing road widths as winter deepens. “Staff has spoken with the contractors about keeping the roads widened out and Township staff have been working on winging back the roads that have become narrow,” he said. “Some of the smaller contractors are leery of the edges because in some cases their (plow) blades only extend a short distance past their tires . . . and they have ended up in the ditch.” Mayor Frances Smith said she too had concerns with this aspect of winter road clearing. “Something we may have to look at with contractors is that they have the proper equipment to do this job,” Smith said. “So that we don’t have to

go back and wing the edges back. “That costs us money.” However, amidst the complaints, Dep. Mayor Jamie Riddell did have some complements for the road staff. “The Mountain Grove firehall was called for a medical assist at 4:30 a.m.,” Riddell said. “But we couldn’t get down the road. “So we called the roads department and they had the road plowed and sanded in five minutes so we were able to attend the call . . . good job.” On another aspect of the roads department, Labbett said the Frank Cowan Company has delivered GPS units for Township vehicles and they’re currently being installed. “This will allow staff to track trucks and assist in ensuring due diligence,” he said. Coun. Victor Heese asked if all Township vehicles were to be so equipped. Acting CAO/Clerk Steve Silver said that because of the nature of the installation, the units are easily switched around and that this project was sponsored by the insurance company. “I think this is a great program,” said Coun. Bill MacDonald. “It’s a management tool and if there’s an emergency, the closest vehicle can respond.” Labbett also said there has been no word yet received on the status of the Township’s grant application for work on Road 38.

My organiz-ized life Gazette Editorial –You know that scene in Taxi Driver where Robert DeNiro tells Cybill Shepherd that one of these days he’s going to get organizized? Sometimes I feel like that phrase is the story of my life. I am not an organized person by nature, though I long to be. My house is messy and cluttered and it drives me insane. I know it’s possible to live in a home with a toddler and two adults who work full-time and not have it be a whirlwind of laundry and dishes and toys and dog hair and smashed up crayons – I’ve seen it done. I just have no idea how these people do it. There is simply so much to do – cooking, dishes, wiping up/scrubbing spilled food, folding and putting away clean laundry, sweeping/vacuuming up dust and dirt and dog hair, taming the explosion of toys and art supplies. That doesn’t even get into the time that parenting takes. I usually work well over 40 hours a week and Steve has been lately, too. When we’re home, we want to spend time with Summer reading to her, playing with her, teaching her the alphabet. We’re also in the middle of potty training, which in itself takes up a lot of time. Granted, we usually spend about an hour before bed watching Netflix. Maybe this is when organized people would do their organizing. Still, even if we spent this time being productive, I’m certain we wouldn’t get to everything that needs to be done. Plus, this hour is one of my favourite times of the day – I really don’t want to give it up. I’ve griped about this subject for years, and I think I’ve even written about it before here, but lately I’ve begun to get more serious in my quest for

cleanliness and organization. A few months ago, Steve and I bought a brand new house; it’s so new it hasn’t even been built yet, but we’ve chosen everything for it – the colours and the cabinetry and the style of flooring. We move in at the end of June and it’s been a really long time since I’ve been this excited about something. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to me to develop the habits I know it will take to keep this house beautiful. I’m obviously no expert, but I think that moving in with minimal “stuff” will be key, along with being mindful of how much “stuff” we bring into the house after we move in. However, getting rid of “stuff” is a challenge in itself. I gave away over 100 of my books last fall, but it barely even made a dent. And I don’t think anyone wants our broken toaster, broken coffee maker, broken pots and pans, etc. When you’re already drowning in daily housework to try and avoid living in a disgusting cesspool, it’s hard to find the time to figure out a responsible and reasonably sustainable way to dispose of these kinds of things. Still, when I set my mind to a goal I’m usually able to achieve it, and I think I may finally have the motivation necessary to de-clutter my life. First, I will write out a step-by-step plan detailing what needs to be done. That’s what organized people do, right? I think it will go something like this: Step 1 – Get rid of anything in my home I don’t believe to be either beautiful or useful. Step 2 – Develop a routine that will allow my family to stay at least somewhat on top of daily chores. I realize more specific goals are required, but it’s a start. I’m open to suggestions from those of you out there who are organized regarding what can be done to improve my plan. With any luck, by the time we move into our new house I will have become less organiz-ized and more organized.

$6 MILLION NEEDED FOR SECOND MRI AT KGH

O

ur region is fortunate to have the best stroke care possible, but our care providers need access to the best tools to provide that care. It is very import to have access to diagnostic information, in a timely fashion. Earlier diagnoses, better treatments and improved outcomes will result from the installation of a second tertiary care MRI. As KGH’s role in providing the highest level of specialty care (such as cancer care and stroke care) has grown, access to critical equipment such as MRI, has not. The province will provide ongoing operational funding for a second machine, but the community needs to raise the $6 million needed for the purchase and installation of the equipment. The need is clear. At any given time, there are 850 people waiting for an MRI at KGH. It is where the most complex scans are completed in the region. Anyone who is well enough and can be served at a communitybased clinic is referred there. Scans that must be

done at KGH are those that require special skill sets, equipment and services such as general anesthetic for children. Those waiting for MRI scans are prioritized by need. But because of the growing demand in our region, far too often, appointments are cancelled because a more urgent patient needs to be scanned. Imagine having a child who requires MRI scans every three months to monitor brain cancer and learning that the earliest they can get in is HYHU\ ÀYH PRQWKV More specialized care and better treatments are also resulting in more demand for diagnostic services such as MRI. This is particularly true with the delivery of cancer

care. Best practices for treatment (known as clinical standards of care) call for MRI in more instances for screening, diagnosis, disease staging, treatment planning and post-treatment assessment. “This is about providing people with access to the imaging care they need, when they need it,” says Karen Pearson, Director of Imaging Services for KGH and Hotel Dieu Hospital. “Not only will it help us meet wait time expectations, but most importantly, it will provide patients and their care teams with access to the information they need to get on with their treatment.”

Every person waiting for an MRI at KGH is prioritized by need relative to others waiting for a scan. The problem is, there are too many people who urgently require an MRI. A second machine will help address wait times. Photo courtesy of Matthew Manor, KGH.

In Our Opinion

Is it 1984?

Amalgamation turned out to be the same old wine in a brand new bottle so let’s look ahead sure don’t have any more cash in my wallet than in 1999. Let’s face it, the big winners in the amalgamation thing were those in the provincial government departments who cut their communication bills by three-quarters when they could now send out one memo to municipalities rather than four. And how about the savings realized when they downloaded responsibilities for things like ambulance services and former provincial highways (like Road 38)? Yes, amalgamation was a very good thing for the provincial government departments and their budgets. But for us poor schmucks in the country . . . not so much. There were of course some winners, or at least on the surface they looked like winners. For example, Kingston picked up a ton of assessment in Pittsburg and Kingston Townships that cost them very little in terms of services to be provided back. But, all that extra assessment just kind of gets gobbled up in various projects and budgets and precious little gets reflected Vice & Regional Publisher Mike Mount backPresident in terms of tax relief. mmount@perfprint.ca Was it a bad thing?

Gazette Column — Fifteen years later, has amalgamation really changed things all that much? I remember a lot of things from those days leading up to amalgamating townships, villages, towns and cities in 1999. I remember endless rounds of meetings with provincial officials touting how wonderful things would be. I remember those officials touting something they called ‘a toolkit’ for the process. The ‘toolkit’ seldom surfaced and if it did, it was a hammer, wrench, saw and measuring tape short of a standard box. We were told how there’d be all this economy of scale savings stuff, as well as considerable staff reductions. Well, perhaps there were initially, but in terms of staff and bureaucracies being bureaucracies, even the most gifted of forensic economists would be hard-pressed to point out where the savings are. I know I

Well, it’s unlikely there would have been new ambulance stations in Robertsville and Ompah/Plevna or even Sydenham without amalgamation and I think we can all agree as rural folks having those stations is a plus. But other than that, what did amalgamation get us other than increased policing costs, new signs and a big long road that needs some work? There are those who say amalgamation didn’t go far enough. Perhaps in terms of policing costs, road networks and waste disposal that might be true. Lord knows those are three huge costs (especially the impending waste disposal tsunami that’s coming as dumps get shut down one after another in the next few years) that no one rural municipality is going to be able to shoulder alone, not even mighty South Frontenac. However, all of that is 20-20 hindsight, locking-the-barn-door-after-thehorse-is-gone stuff. We’ll never be able to go back to smaller, simpler municipalities so this is definitely the time to start looking forward and if that means that every municipality in Eastern Ontario has to DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES join together come up with something Jacquie to Laviolette 613-221-6248 to do with our garbage, so be it.

8 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, February 19, 2015

Gazette Editorial – It may be the year 2015, but with more and more developments in technology, our world is starting to feel increasingly Orwellian. The number of internet-connected objects now out-numbers humans and between location trackers, voice sensors, Bluetooth enabled devices and social media it is becoming harder and harder to get around without feeling like ‘big brother’ is watching you. Last week, media outlets went after Samsung for their latest Smart TV, claiming that it was invading consumer’s privacy. The TV in question has voice recognition software in it that allows the owner to control the volume, change channels and do numerous other commands with their voice. This sounds great, but it was also revealed that the TV can eavesdrop and record the conversations of those watching it. Smart TV’s aren’t the only things invading our lives and personal spaces. LG just announced their new refrigerator that can send grocery lists to phones and warn consumers about upcoming expiration dates inside. Intel and Ford are even working together on a face recognition system for cars that will only allow recognizable faces to drive. While technology is considered a good thing in most cases, we have to wonder if all of this is getting to be a bit too much. Is technology reaching the point where it is not only invading our privacy, but also starting to become a form of surveillance? While major companies and the developers of these products have gone on record to say that none of the information they collect will be sold to a third party, many consumers aren’t so trusting. There is also the possibility that information collected by these products could be hacked and used against consumers. We’ve seen examples of this with password hacks and personal information hacks from credit card companies, but these scenarios could become much worse. We know that in the digital age privacy is less of a factor, especially considering how much of our lives are already online for the world to see, but it is scary to think that someone can listen to your conversations in front of the TV. Perhaps we need to rethink a couple of these developments or at least rethink the security measures that come with them, as long as they don’t include the Thought Police.

Kingston Passport Services: what you can really expect Gazette News – A few weeks ago, Service Canada in Kingston announced that they would now be accepting and processing passport applications, but what services are being offered exactly and how do those services differ from what was previously (and is still) offered at MP Ted Hsu’s office? The Heritage spoke to Hsu about the changes and learned why they were necessary and what people can expect when they apply in Kingston. “For a long time my office has been helping people with passport applications,” explained Hsu…“But we found that the service was becoming very popular and that we didn’t have the staff and resources to continue.” When Hsu became MP in 2011, his office was processing 4,000 passport applications a year. Last year, his staff processed over 7,000 applications. Hsu had the equivalent of one and a half full-time staff members devoting time to only that service. “It was just too much and it prompted me to write to [then Minister of Citizenship and Immigration] Jason Kenney about the issue,” said Hsu. “I explained that given Kingston’s size, it would be nice if we had Passport Services offered by the federal government here in Kingston.” Hsu received a response and acknowledgement of the issue, but no action was taken until Service Canada announced their increase in services a few weeks ago. Hsu was happy to hear about the increase in services and so were many Kingstonians, but when services commenced on Feb. 2, some were disappointed. “I went in there assuming, from everything that I had heard, that the process would be faster than it was before,” said Geoff Josey, who visited the Service Canada office at Frontenac Mall on Feb. 9. “I waited 45 minutes for them to tell me that I wouldn’t have a passport until March 14. I am travelling on March 11 and there was nothing they could do to expedite the process.” While the new addition of services does help process applications, the Service Canada location is not a full Passport Services site like those in Whitby and Ottawa. Applicants can expect a 4-6 week turnaround on their application, a fact that many weren’t

PHONE: 1-888-967-3237 1-888-WORD ADS

www.emcclassified.ca

aware of. “On Facebook I had a lot of people who were really excited about the service, but they had the idea that it would be a full passport office,” said Hsu. “It is not one of the offices where you can get a rush passport or one in two weeks even. The service is the same as services that are offered in Brockville and similar to what my of-

fice offers.” Just like at Hsu’s office, staff at Service Canada will look over passport applications and check for common errors and they will mail off the forms without postage costs to the applicant; Service Canada is different form Hsu’s office in that they can accept different forms of payment like cash or credit and they can also check

pieces of identification and return those that aren’t needed for your application. For Josey, these services aren’t enough and he feels that his time would have been better spent driving to Whitby or Oshawa in the first place. “I assumed that they would look over the application, make sure everything is in order and then send it off

to Ottawa or Whitby and I expected it would be a quicker turnaround, four weeks being the absolute maximum,” he added. “I don’t really think these services are more helpful and I don’t really see the value in it.” In Hsu’s opinion, the increase in services will benefit the community and his office at the same time and he hopes Kingstonians see the value in that. “As a member of parliament I really have to focus on the more complicated cases and legislation and different federal issues that constituents bring up, and the passport services were to the point where they were taking away from that,” he said. “We will still offer passport services and handle cases that are out of the ordinary at my office, but now my staff can focus on other issues too.”

Helping local talent shine in Hollywood By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

a lot of precautionary things that people should be aware of before they get into this industry. For example, a talent agent should never make you pay for required courses. There’s this code of ethics that you should be abiding by.” When she became pregnant with her now three-year-old daughter, she decided she would get back into the game (doing things her way) while on maternity leave from the store. Godefroy admits that she was a little surprised at how busy she quickly became. “I didn’t expect it to take off the way it did. I was booking people on feature films even before I officially launched the company. So I ran out my lease at the store and it allowed me to do this fulltime, and to have more time with my daughter.” Godefroy’s philosophy is to treat everyone she represents like family. “I always think of it like if my daughter ever got into something like

this, I would want to ensure that there is somebody who knows the industry there to protect her. Unfortunately a lot of times what happens is parents or actors have no idea what they’re getting into [but]… It really is very safe if you have the right channels and the right connections.” Recently, SoHo represented actors have seen some pretty high-profile success. Alexandra Hook, 13, has had multiple roles on the Family Channel and recently auditioned twice for Disney. Currently, she is being considered to be the understudy for Ruby Barnhill, who stars as Sophie in a Stephen Spielberg adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The BFB. “We should know by the end of February and if hired, she starts shooting in March in Vancouver,” says Godefroy. Niko Carrillo, 12, is currently being considered for a supporting role in The Trap with Benicio Del Toro and Jamie Fox, and Jeff Ellenberger, 31, recently auditioned for a supporting role in The Reverent starring Leonardo DiCaprio. He ended up being one of the top 20 final choices, but in the end the role went to Domhall Gleeson of Harry Potter fame. “He was brand new actor and really hadn’t done anything before,” Godefroy says of Ellenberger. “He came to one of my open calls and did a monologue from Good Will Hunting. I was

like, where have you been? He said he always wanted to act but just never did it before.” Godefroy is holding another open call on Sunday, Feb. 22 at Queen’s Theological Hall from noon – 3 p.m. She says this kind of event makes it a lot easier for her to choose who she will represent than when people just send photos in. “Somebody that maybe I would take a look at their picture and kind of put to the sidelines gets my team all together in person. We may have a difference of opinion. There may be somebody championing for someone that initially I may not like and I’ll take a second look. It’s just a great opportunity to meet new people and see what kind of talent is actually out there.” SoHo is also offering 15-week TV/ film acting classes for teens (ages 1117) and adults from March 5 to June 17 in Kingston (excluding March Break). “Kingston is such a great community, and it’s an art-based community, “notes Godefroy. “I think it’s phenomenal that finally we’re able to get these people out there and give them the opportunity that they would never normally have unless they were living in Toronto.” For more information, visit www. sohomgmt.com, or contact Tammy at tammy@sohomgmt.com or 613-5830952.

Gazette News - Every time you see an actor perform on the big or small screen, or a model posing on a page of a magazine, there is an agent who has worked behind the scenes to get them this opportunity. Many local people may assume they need to travel to Toronto or Montreal for such representation, but three years ago

Tammy Godefroy, former owner of Novellino clothing store downtown, started SoHo Management, a talent agency that now represents close to 100 actors and models in Kingston and the surrounding area. Godefroy formerly worked with Triple Threat Talent in Toronto, but found she didn’t enjoy the way things were run. “I left because I didn’t agree with some of their ethics,” she explains. “There are

100 years young By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – Doris Peterson was born at Hotel Dieu Hospital on Feb. 13, 1915; last week the lifelong Kingstonian, now living at Helen Henderson Care Centre in Amherstview, happily celebrated her 100th birthday. “I never really thought about turning 100,� Peterson told the Heritage the day before the big celebration. “I don’t really feel 100. I’m not sure if I feel 50 or 60. It really is just a number and another day.� Peterson grew up on Howe Island under the care of her grandmother. Her mother died at a young age and her father couldn’t support her so her grandmother took over. “She took care of me and she was a good woman,� said Peterson. “She lived to almost 100 too I think.� Peterson got married when she was ‘old enough’ according to her and went on to have five children. Many of these children are now in their 60s and 70s and have children and grandchildren of their own. “I’ve got maybe 500 grandkids,� she joked. “I can’t count them anymore. I’ve met all of them at one

time or another.� Many of Peterson’s grand children, great grand children and great, great grandchildren came to celebrate her remarkable milestone and while she may not remember them all, she certainly enjoys visiting with them when she can. “I look forward to seeing the people and visiting,� she said. “It keeps me going to have people around and I like to keep moving.� Staying active is one of the things that has undoubtedly kept Peterson going for so long. For many years she worked in downtown Kingston at Abramsky’s furniture. She then moved on to working with her husband, a cheese maker by trade, at the Wilton Cheese Factory. Event at the age of 90 Peterson didn’t slow down too much; she chose to move into the Helen Henderson Care Centre and helped out and worked within the facility whenever she could. “When I sit for too long I could scream. I want to do stuff and stay going. I used to fold towels, help out in the kitchen and do the newsletter. I still help when I can and I like being active and doing things.� Now, at 100, Peterson can’t do as

much as she used to, but she still loves to read, sing and recite poetry from memory for anyone who will listen. “Many of the poems and songs I can remember are from my father. He used to say them and sing them and they stuck with me.� At the request of one of her many granddaughters Peterson is writing done some of these songs and poems as a keepsake for her family. “I’m starting to forget things now,� she said. “I never used to. I should have written everything down, it would have made a great book.� When asked about her secret to living so long, Peterson simply shrugs and attributes a lot of it to her faith. “The good Lord has been good to me I guess. I didn’t think I would live this long. I never even thought about and it seems like it went by so quickly. I’ve had a pretty happy life.�

A love affair with New York You can walk in the footsteps of folk and protest music pioneer Woody Guthrie. A book called My Name is New York came out a couple of years ago. It documents Guthrie’s haunts in Gotham. You can see many of the places where he lived, played music and hung out with friends like Pete Seeger. Last year, not long after Pete Seeger’s death, a friend and I were walking past the New York Society for Ethical Culture building on West 64th Street and heard some amazing

sounds coming through the doors. We peeked in, and were beckoned in by welcoming smiles. It was a memorial for Pete Seeger with many of his friends, fellow musicians, and family members. At the end of that evening, my friend and I could only look at each other, shake our heads and say, “Only in New York.� It’s a city where you could actually run into Sir Patrick Stewart on the subway on his ride to a theatre for his performances on a Broadway stage. Or Michael Buble performing

with an a cappella group on a subway platform, my subway platform no less—the #1 train 66th Street/ Lincoln Center stop. Or Scarlett Johannson walking her dog. Or Hugh Jackman out for a stroll. Seriously, all of these things happened within a four block radius. It’s not unusual to run into your favorite actor on the streets, especially on the Upper West Side, away from the tourist epicentre in midtown. Liam Neeson, Vanessa Redgrave, Yoko Ono, Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway all have condos near Central Park. New York etiquette: this is their home; don’t go screaming for an autograph, freak out, stare or point. If you must go nuts and touristy, do it at the stage door after a Broadway show. That’s where actors expect to sign autographs and talk with fans. Don’t do it if they’re sitting at the table next to you having dinner. Respect and privacy, please. I confess I had to restrain myself the day I ran into Scarlett Johansson. Even moreso with Jennifer Connelly. I think the poor woman must have thought I was stalking her on our third encounter in the neighborhood.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

Daytripper – In the uber village called New York, millions of people mingle in hundreds of small neighborhoods and communities. Street smart and gritty, those people who inhabit one of the world’s greatest cultural centres are also the friendliest. They tolerate anything and have lived through everything. They look out for each other. We look out for each other. I’m torn between calling Canada and New York home. When I’m away from the City, I crave its energy. I have heard from quite a number of people heading to New York over the March break, so I think it’s time for another love letter to the city of aspiration. From fine cuisine to street vendors, world class museums to underground (literal and metaphoric) performance art, the New York City Ballet to spontaneous dance in Washington Square Park, from renowned jazz musician Ron Carter at The Blue Note to a busker in Central Park, you won’t find greater expressions of art and culture anywhere. Period. Countless songs have been written about New York and recorded there. What musician doesn’t want to call New York home? From John Lennon and David Bowie to Patti Smith and

Taylor Swift, they all end up living in New York. Where else would you hear about someone like the late Lou Reed showing up in person when he heard there was going to be a public listening of his first album to commemorate its anniversary? Mr. Reed walked into the gathering in a bar and sat and listened, along with his fans. As for film, a lengthy list of movies and TV segments are filmed there every year. You can take tours of famous filming sites.

A love affair with New York woman heard this and turned back and handed me a subway map. “I got two yesterday, “ she told me. “You can have one of them.” Or a street kid with at least 20 piercings on his face holding up his hand to stop four lanes of traffic on Ninth Avenue to help an elderly man with a cane cross the street.

When I found Larry to share the money with him, he told me, “No, man, just give it to the shelter. That way we all benefit.” That’s my New York. That’s the New York I know and love. If you’ve never been to New York, I’d advise spending your first trip just getting oriented. New York is a wonderful, walkable city. Once you understand the street grid, it’s hard to get lost. That statement goes out the window when you are south of 14th Street in Manhattan. Then you’re looking at the lines of the old Dutch settlements. Streets radiate from central squares and turn every which way. It’s easy to get lost. But that makes it fun. Just start wandering Greenwich Village. It gets even more chaotic south of Grand Street and into Chinatown and the Financial District. If you’re exploring south of 14th, keep a map with you. If you’re into jazz, The Garage at 99th 7th Avenue, at the #1 Metro stop at Christopher Street/Sheridan Square,

tina Ricci performed in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a small off-Broadway theatre. So do not hesitate to take in a good off-Broadway show. If you are a theatre lover, don’t miss Alan Cumming in Cabaret. You won’t see a better actor than Cumming or a quirkier, yet very touching, show than Cabaret. It’s closing on March 29, so this is your last chance to catch it. New York’s Central Park is an absolute must during a visit. Central Park is a free adventure. You can relax and be entertained. Musicians busk in many locations. There’s breathtaking scenery and beautiful bridges, along with fresh air and exercise. Many visitors have fun recognizing locations from movies or TV shows. Don’t be surprised if you see your favorite actor with a child in tow or walking the dog. I spend a fair amount of time in Central Park to get away from the sensory overload of the city. As for getting to New York, there are only two ways I’d travel. By plane or Amtrak train from Syracuse. I love trains, and you can get from Syracuse to Penn Station (34th St) for about $110 return (CAA/AAA gives you a 10% discount). Seriously, I can’t get to Toronto for that amount. Amtrak has free wifi, a club car, and you can change your itinerary without outrageous change fees. Next week, I’ll look at how to be a tourist in New York, and, more importantly, how to not act like a tourist.

is one of my favorite locations. There’s live jazz nightly (until 2:30 a.m.) and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Don’t be surprised to see Grammy winners get up on stage to jam. The food is great or you can just sit at the bar and listen. There’s no cover charge. I’m often asked what some “mustsee” sites are in the city. That’s difficult to answer. Depends on your interests. If you’re into art, obviously MoMA (Museum of Modern Art); for theatre lovers, there is no end of live theatre. You’ll see the finest performances in the world in Broadway and off-Broadway productions. The scripts gets edgier (meaning, to me, better theatre) off-Broadway. The only difference (aside from offBroadway costing half the admission price) is that Broadway theatres seat 500-plus and off-Broadway venues seat 100 to 499. Sometimes, shows are testing the waters off-Broadway before moving to Broadway. Some of the best and most powerful plays I’ve seen have been off-Broadway. You’ll see the same actors in either setting. Famed Broadway (and TV) actor Bebe Neuworth and film star Cris-

Sunday service was starting thanks to Herman Gazette Lifestyle - There was a lot to grab my attention in church every Sunday, and it wasn’t always what the minister had to say from the pulpit.  If the truth be known, I had trouble trying to figure out what he was talking about, as he flailed around pounding his bible on the rail. I was much more interested in waiting to see the well worn black book go flying into the congregation, which I was sure would happen. It would just be a matter of time. And then there was his wife, who Mother said was a pure angel.  She sat ram-rod straight, and my brother Emerson said the whole place could blow up and he doubted if she would blink an eyelash.  I would spend many minutes waiting for any movement from her, which never came all the time we went to the Lutheran Church in Northcote. Of course, I was keenly inter-

ested in seeing what the girls I went to school with had worn to church.  And so that cut a fair bit of time out of the church service too.  If one wore a new hat (even very young girls wore hats to church) I looked at it with envy, and I was reasonable sure I was committing a mortal sin by doing so, and was right up there with stealing pennies off the collection plate. And then there was old Herman.  He sat by the East window, and I spent many minutes staring at his very bald head.  It had a glow to it, which my brother Emerson said got that way because he rubbed it with goose grease before he came to church.  My sister Audrey said that was pure nonsense.  Goose grease was for shining your boots, not to be wasted putting a shine to a bald head! Some Sundays I couldn’t take my eyes off old Herman.  He was known to consume a little too much of his homemade brew on a Saturday night, and it wasn’t unusual for him to come to church the worse for wear.  He would be alright when the church service was just beginning, but with the hot sun beating on his bald head, the old stove belting out heat, and

the droning on of the minister, it didn’t take long for old Herman to drop his head to his chest.  And every few minutes he would waken and snap his head up, only to lose consciousness again seconds later. Well, one Sunday, right in the middle of winter, there was someone else in old Herman’s seat!  And yet, it looked like old Herman... same bulbed nose, half-shut eyes, but the shiny head was gone! What was on his head looked very much like a tight hat of fine brown straw, and I wasn’t the only one glued to old Herman!  Every eye in church was on him.  Emerson started to laugh until Mother gave him a poke that settled him down in a hurry. I thought even the minister paused on his way up to the front of the church leading the choir, as his eyes fell on the sight in Herman’s pew.  My sister Audrey, who Mother always said was smart beyond her years, leaned close to me and said, “of course it’s Herman...he’s gotten himself a wig.â€?  I had never seen a wig in the Northcote area before...there were a few in the town of Renfrew I knew, but not out in Northcote!!!

Well, the service went on, and I lost interest in looking for new hats, and keeping a close eye on the Minister’s wife...my sight was glued to old Herman. That Sunday, we could have gotten along without the heat from the old stove, because the sun was pouring in through the East window, and of course, right onto Herman.  I don’t think the minister was into his sermon five minutes when old Herman’s head fell to his chest.  That in itself was not unusual, and to be expected.  What wasn’t expected was what happened to the wig.  It fell over his eyes with his first head-drop, and stayed there!  It sat on his nose completely blocking his vision.  With the curved seats in the pews it was impossible not to see what was happening.  The minister’s voice got louder and louder. And it wasn’t until the organist pumped her feet on the two felt pedals with force and brought her hands down with a bang on the keys to start a hymn that old Herman came to. Of course, he couldn’t see a thing.  The wig covered the front of his bald head right down to the tip of his nose.  That in itself was enough to startle the whole church,

but what it did to old Herman was something to behold. He must have forgotten for the moment that he was wearing a wig, because he was blinded by it, and yelled in a voice that could be heard in the United Church down the road. “Where am I?  What’s goin on?â€? Mr. Kallies, sitting right behind him, grabbed the back edge of the wig and righted it, allowing Herman to realize where he was.  His face turned beet red, he grabbed the wig off his head, crammed it in his pocket, and bolted.  He didn’t even wait for the plates to be passed for collection. As always at the Lutheran Church, after the service, people mingled at the back and had their visit.  Not a word was mentioned about the wig or old Herman.  But on the way home in the double cutter, my brother Emerson said the church service that day was as good as going to the picture show in Renfrew on a Saturday night!

made several short trips in my prized Pontiac. I also have a 1963 Chrysler, but that’s another story!” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box

Rick Bryden’s Oshawa-built 1967 Pontiac Parisienne 2+2 convertible. Only 1,434 were built, making them very rare and highly collectible today. They were marketed as the GTO’s muscular “Big Brother.” Photo/Submitted

Gazette Lifestyle – Rick Bryden of Portland, Ontario, writes: “Hi Bill. I read with interest your most recent article on an old Pontiac (“His ’62 had three bald tires and burned oil”). We had several versions of Pontiacs in the ‘60s when I was growing up, and the most memorable were the Parisiennes. My parents remind me yet that I would call them “2-Hard-Door-Tops” instead of 2-door hardtops. “As we lived in Sarnia and then Windsor and my grandparents lived north of Kingston, we drove many a mile in my dad’s prized Pontiacs. I recall the subtle changes of each different

one, as well as the personal touches my dad would install – fender skirts, white mud flaps, 8-track players, and curb feelers to protect those gleaming whitewalls. My dad even made a ‘child seat’ to secure me in the back seat, and this was before seat belts were even offered in many vehicles. “One hot summer evening just before dusk, we were parked under the Blue Water Bridge in Sarnia in our usual spot in our beloved Pontiac, Mom and Dad on the bench front seat and me standing in the back and peering over the front seat. We were enjoying French fries from the Chip Truck and quietly watching in awe as the massive lake freighters slowly slid by. “Suddenly a loud crash broke the silence! An empty beer bottle had been thrown from the bridge and landed on our rear window. Luckily the window

Debbie Lloyd, owner of The Travel Broker & Cruise Centre says she’s amazed that her company is already into its 4th year in their new location. She opened The Travel Broker with her husband at the Bath Road location back in 1977 and together they built a company completely on the local community here in Kingston. “Like many companies our business was greatly changed by the internet and had to reinvent ourselves in order to survive.” After her husband died Debbie decided to keep the business and bought a lovely old home on Sydenham Road and moved her travel agency into it. The Travel Broker & Cruise Centre decided to stay local and to concentrate on custom travel for their clients and specialties such as destina-

tion weddings. Denise is known for her skill in handling international requirements to make the whole process run smoothly for the wedding couple and their guests. Debbie has seen a tremendous growth across the country in her tours specially designed for Women. We have women from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island travelling on tours to Europe, Africa and Asia. They all come as individuals and meet up to enjoy the adventure and camaraderie that small group travel provides. The women who travel with her are single, widowed, divorced and married and range in age from 45 to 75. She says that women travel well together, look out for each other and just love to indulge in the adventurous spirit of travel. She invites all of you to join her !

Explore Scotland and, at the same time, hone your digital camera skills For many, malt whisky is the original; the stuff of myth— Ancient Celts practised the art of distilling, and naming the fiery liquid - uisge beatha - the water of life. But Scotland is not just whisky - the castles and country houses are without parallel; the handicrafts - from tartans to knitwear, pottery to jewelry - are superb; the coastlines memorable and the landscapes unforgettable. For the photographer Scotland has it all - great land and seascapes; architectural gems; wildlife and “hairy coos”; colourful kilts, weathered faces - it’s a great place to improve your photo skills. It is the Scots and their great sense of hospitality which makes the overall experience so enjoyable - “will ye no come back again?” is said with sincerity and real hope. So join Chris Miner to explore Scotland, taste some whisky, see some sights and feel at home - and take some great images!
