‘South Frontenac Rides’ aims to further bicycle usage in Township •

getting bike road designations for selected roads • examine what has been done in Quebec and other countries on how to create maps and issues of liability • identify routes and then identify issues of safety on these routes and then bring them to the attention of the Township and County with suggestions for alleviation • hold a bike rodeo and bike promo day to introduce the profile of biking in South Frontenac • make use of the Public Health Unit and County’s mapping capabilities. As far as the bike rodeo goes, the committee is looking at June 7 in Sydenham, in conjunction with National Bike Week. Sutherland said tentative events would include workshops on safety, helmet fitting, introducing three bike routes in the Township with guided rides and maps, and a celebration and barbecue in the afternoon. “The promo event would launch a project to have the community develop a complete route map for the Township over the next year, which would be unveiled at a similar even next spring,” he said. “We’re also looking at a bike challenge similar to the hiking challenge in Frontenac Park.” Leslie Kirby-Olvet, Alastair Lamb and Scott Gordon volunteered to be a steering committee and co-chairs. The committee’s next planned meeting is Monday, March 9 at the Township offices at 7 p.m. The main item on the agenda is to confirm the June 7 rodeo date.

And the plunge begins Gazette Events –The Head Polar Bear, Mark Montagano, leads off the annual Polar Bear Plunge at the Sharbot Lake Marina. Due to frigid temperatures, the Plunge was pushed back a week but the fundraiser still attracted a crowd. It also raised $8,000 this year for the Child Centre, GREC student council and the Alzheimer’s Society. Montagano himself brought in the most pledges, $1,300. Linda Harding-DeVries won best costume, Osten Gibson was the youngest plunger and Karen Burke the oldest Photo/Craig Bakay

Gazette News — A group of bicycle enthusiasts in South Frontenac is hoping they can promote their ideas, bring others to the cause and increase enthusiasm for the sport/pastime on South Frontenac roadways and trails. “We had our initial meeting Feb. 16 with about 20 people,” Coun. Ross Sutherland told a recent Council meeting. “We’re calling it South Frontenac Rides.” Sutherland said South Frontenac literally has “miles of roads” that would be suitable for bicycles as well as numerous trails already fitted out well for two-wheelers. “The roads department has been widening roads when they pave and those widened shoulders are ideal for bike paths,” he said. He said part of his inspiration has been trips to Quebec for bicycle adventures. “They really do it up right, particularly in the Gatineaus,” he said. “I see no reason why we shouldn’t be able to do something similar here.” At that initial meeting, several concepts were discussed, he said. These included: • increasing safety • creating a searchable database of routes where cyclists could develop their own routes • an on- and off-road map • increasing off-road biking and possibly getting some routes in Frontenac Park • educating the public on safety and on dogs as a problem for bicyclists

2 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, March 5, 2015

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — “You can’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve come from,� journalist, educator, publisher Orland French told Frontenac County Council at its most recent meeting. French, you see, would like to produce a book on the history of Frontenac County as part of the 150th Anniversary celebrations through his Wallbridge House Publishing organization. The book, whose working title is The Frontenacs, would not be published until 2016, in order to include some of the photos, celebrations and events for the 150th, he said. French candidly admitted some of the obstacles to this project, even though he’s already started on some preliminary work (including considerable aerial photography) with associate editor Catherine Reynolds, not the least of which is the fact that a history of Frontenac County already exists. “Yes, there is a book on the history of Frontenac County called County of 1,000 Lakes,� French said. “But that was produced in 1982 which was long before amalgamation when the City of Kingston absconded with the two largest townships (population-wise). “The County is much more rural now.� And, while the existing history book is long on names and dates, it has precious little in the way of natural history, which is something French has already demonstrated a knack for. In 2013, Wallbridge House published Wind, Water, Barley and Wine — The Nature of Prince

Edward County. In it, French recruited the talents of several writers, perhaps the most notable of whom is Dugald Carmichael, professor emeritus of geology, who had stints at both McGill and Queen’s Universities. Some might remember Carmichael’s excellent two-page history of the bedrock in Frontenac County a few years ago in The Frontenac Stewardship Council’s The Naturally Rich Frontenacs. In particular, Wind, Water, Barley and Wine contains a remarkable piece on the enigmatic Lake on the Mountain, making a convincing case for its origins as a sinkhole resulting from the surrounding karst topography rather than the more romantic meteor crater that was taught to school kids in the 1960s. As history books go, Wind, Water, Barley and Wine is rather eclectic but long on fascinating information. The other obstacle is money. “These kind of projects are always long on ideas and short on financing,� French said. “However, the project should end up paying for itself and can even be used as a fundraiser. “I did a book for Bancroft and they recovered all their costs.� The cost would be in the $80,000 range, to be split by the County and its four townships, he said. The books would sell in the $40 range. “I wonder if we should be asking staff to do a little research and talk to the 150th committee,� said Warden Denis Doyle. “I just hope we wouldn’t forget about this until 11 months from now,� said Coun. John Inglis.

History of Bedford District comes alive at open house By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — The Bedford District Historical Research Committee learned something last year — holding an open house for the Bedford Historical Research Centre in Glendower Hall on Family Day probably isn’t the best way to go about things. So this year, they held it the following weekend and attendance was up considerably with a steady stream of friends, neighbours and history buffs coming through the building. “The attendance has been pretty good, considering the snow,” said Bedford Coun. Pat Barr, who was leafing through a scrapbook containing some old newspaper clippings. “Better to have it this weekend than to compete with all the events on Family Day at Piccadilly.” “We like to display our stuff,” said Gerald Stinson, committee chair. “It draws out the people (and) we like people to know we’re here. “We have a lot of stuff if you’re researching family history but

there’s a lot of history out there we’re not aware of and this is a good opportunity to find out about some of it.” “We’ll probably find out we’re all related,” said Barr, whose family has been in the area for generations. This was the third year for the open house and to a certain extent, they’re still finding their way. But there were plenty of artifacts on display including a rare beaver blanket and a fleam, which seemed to hold special fascination for Stinson. A fleam is a sort of jackknife that when opened, has a small, round blade at a right angle to the handle “This one was used for bleeding animals,” he said. “But they used the same sort of instrument on people at one time. “It’s probably not the thing to show the kids.” But when it came to artifacts, Harrowsmith brothers Howard and Roger Wilson easily had the display to beat. “We still own a property in Bedford and it’s where our ancestors came from,” Howard said. “We in-

herited it and Roger started going over the grounds with a metal detector and we found all sorts of stuff.” Indeed they did, including several axe heads that they’ve been restoring, a timber stick which was used for making mortise and tenions in barns, a butter churn foot pedal, a lot of steam engine parts (there was a saw mill on the property at one time) and even the dial from their grandfather’s safe. “And we have pictures,” said Roger, holding up one showing his grandfather and great grandfather at a barn raising, one of whom is holding that very same timber stick. There was also a community theme to this even as well. Jimmie Madden and family had a display for their Eco Tree Care business, and there were several artists as well, including painter Scott White, vehicle restorer Rick Lawless and sculptor Stefan Duerst, who brought some examples of older wrought iron of the type that would have been in use in the area many years ago. For more information, contact Stinson at Stinson@rideau.net.

Howard and Roger Wilson’s family were long-time residents of Bedford Township and the pair brought along some of the artifacts they’ve collected from around the homestead. Photo/Craig Bakay

R0013160380-0305

By: Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — The bottom line on the Central Frontenac 2015 budget is that your taxes will be going up $32 for every $100,000 of assessment. Central Frontenac Council met last week to finalize its budget, with the final draft coming to Council March 10 for likely approval. It’s a rather modest budget, as budgets go, with the vast majority of roadwork projects coming from upper level government grants, such as the $3 million upgrade to Fifth Depot Lake Road and the expected leveling of Road 38 ($1.17 million) assuming a federal grant is forthcoming. Mill Street/Frontenac Road is getting fixed out of the taxpayer purse however, at a cost of $388,000. There’s also $225,000 for a new tandem truck and $128,000 for a new tractor/busher/mower. Also included in this year’s budget is $185,000 for a new fire hall in Parham and $40,000 to complete work on the new ball field near Land O’Lakes School in Mountain Grove. All of this relates to a levy increase of 2.5 per cent, said Treasurer Michael McGovern, which was what Council instructed staff to come in with. In his notes for the budget meeting, McGovern said the levy increase of 2.5 per cent represents $158,465 of which $153,807 is for policing costs. He also

said the total tax rate is decreasing by 1.3 per cent (owing to an increase of assessment due to MPAC scaled increases) and the municipal tax rate has actually decreased by 2.7. Overall the total assessment increased by 5.1 per cent or $338,465. McGovern said there were also other factors impacting the budget to the tune of $66,160, including a staff salary increase of 2.8 per cent (the inflation rate), a 3 per cent Hydro increase and a 9.75 per cent insurance hike. However, the Ontario Municipal Property Fund transfer payment increased by $43,300 and health/dental costs decreased by 2.5 per cent. Reserves take a bit of a hit as before withdrawals of $820,277 were at 21 per cent of operating expenses (the auditor recommends 20 per cent). After the withdrawal, reserves will be at 8.7 per cent. “Today, we’re talking strategy,” said acting CAO/Clerk Steve Silver. “Reserves aren’t where they should be but reality and strategy are not the same thing. “It’s a balancing act — need is so great here. You have money in the bank but do you spend it now or add to the tax burden? “It’s about need vrs. affordability.” “We’ve gone up 40 per cent over the past eight years and that’s killing people,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “At the end of the day, every dollar we grab comes out of a family budget,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. R0012783232

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.

That used to happen maybe once or twice a winter but according to my outdoor thermometer, it was happening regularly in February. Here’s something interesting, the Rideau Canal Skating Rink set a record for being open this year. Since it began 45 years ago, the longest open stretch was 46 days in 2003-2004.

6 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, March 5, 2015

Gazette Editorial – It may not feel like it or look like it, but it is time to spring forward – that lovely time of year when we lose an hour of sleep, but we gain more usable daylight hours. Seems like a fair trade off, but why do we still observe Daylight Savings Time (DST) in the first place? The origins of DST go all the way back to Benjamin Franklin; he proposed that time should shift according to daylight to allow for more working hours and the conservation of candles. The idea stuck in Europe, but didn’t really translate to North America until the First World War, when it was instituted to conserve resources and produce more resources for war. The same thing happened for the Second World War, and then the idea stuck around for good – clocks went back in November and forward in April. In 2007, DST increased from seven months of the year to eight with spring forward moving from April to March. This change also sparked more debate about the actual need for DST. Some provinces and states already don’t observe DST and now other provinces and states are thinking of abolishing their observance as well, but isn’t that just creating more headaches for all of us? If provinces and states in the same time zone differ in terms of their observance of DST it will surely cause confusion, especially for things like transportation schedules. It would be possible to travel over a state line or provincial border and either go forward or back in time. This seems absolutely absurd. DST should be an all or nothing thing – if one part of a time zone has to observe then the rest of it should, too. Maybe the easiest thing to do would be to abolish DST all together. Though for now, I guess we’ll just deal with the loss of an hour of sleep and enjoy our much needed extra daylight.

Kingston’s music community bands together to help one of their own By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Events – Last week, news of a tragic murder-suicide in Texas involving Kingston native Dawn (Larson) Griffa quickly spread across the community; as many mourned the loss, they also wondered what they could do to help her family and especially her now parentless threeyear-old son, Keoni. It didn’t take long for members of the Kingston music community to jump into action. They quickly banded together to help Griffa’s father, Donny Larson and family. A benefit concert will be held March 8 at The Mansion, featuring local musicians such as Sarah Harmer, The Abrams Brothers, Rocket Surgery and many more. “Our good friend Donny is going through a tough time and the first thing we wanted to do was get the musician community together in town to help him out,� explained Will Fisher, co-owner of The Mansion and one of many people who stepped up to organize an event in support of the Larson family. “Donny has been doing professional live sound in the Kingston community for the past 2530 years and he’s a great guy so we

wanted to help him out.� Larson travelled to Texas soon after hearing about the tragic events to identify his daughter’s body and bring Keoni back to Kingston. Larson and his other daughter, Ciera, now have custody of Keoni and with that comes many new challenges and expenses. “We know that they will need some help, so anything we can do to lighten the load,� said Fisher. Fisher owns The Mansion with his brother Casey, and when a group of local musicians approached them about doing a benefit concert at the live music hotspot, they quickly agreed. “Donny is really close to a lot of people in Kingston and especially in the music community,’ said Casey, who is also a close friend of Larson. “He is the premiere soundman in Kingston and has been for decades. Everyone knows him and they are willing to support him as much as they can.� Two shows will be performed at The Mansion on Sunday, March 8, one at 2 p.m. and another at 7:30 p.m. All proceeds from the shows will go to the Larson family. “Not trying to toot my own horn but it is quite the line-up and it’s kind

of a who’s who in the Kingston music scene,� noted Rueben DeGroot, who is performing at the show and helping out with organizing and promoting it, too. “Donny is kind of the linchpin in terms of music in Kingston and everyone loves him so they were all happy to lend their support.� Support has already been pouring in for Larson and his family and organizers for the event hope that the momentum continues and the show sells out. “The support has been overwhelming so far with the online donations

and even people coming into the restaurant here and dropping off clothing and coats and boots and the sort of things that Keoni will need here,â€? said Fisher. “We want to try and lighten the mood a little and focus on something more positive and we hope this event does that. We want to give support wherever we can.â€? Anyone who wants to donate items can drop them off at The Mansion. Items needed include: toys, children’s books, furniture, a snow suit, winter boots (size 10), size 4 and 5T boys clothing, new socks and

undergarments, gift certificates to Loblaws for groceries, splash pants, rain gear and boots for spring. Tickets for the benefit concert are $25 and available at the Mansion.

OUT STANDING IN OUR FIELD Women lead the way in farming, but representation lags behind By: Aric McBay Columnist

Gazette Lifestyle – A few weeks ago, a mass email was sent to many farmers about an upcoming conference. The conference’s banner image had a picture of three generations of farmers in a field: an older man, a middle-aged man, and a boy. My partner Emily Dowling and her mother Dianne Dowling both sent replies back (independently, to their later amusement) to say that it seemed a bit old-fashioned to represent all farmers as male. And with International Women’s Day (March 8) so close, the representation of women in farming—or lack thereof—is important to address. An internet search for “farmer’s wife� yields over half a million results. A search for “farmer’s husband,� on the other hand, yields less than two thousand. It’s an unfortunate fact that the “default farmer� is still considered, by many, to be a man. The search results suggest that if a male-female couple farms together, the man is the farmer and the woman is, one might surmise, just tagging along. Consider the famous Depressionera photo of Allie Mae Burroughs. The photo became iconic because in part because of her determined expression. It’s typically titled “Tenant Farmer’s Wife�. But Allie Mae Burroughs was surely more than just a “farmer’s wife.� Her family’s sharecropping operation would have needed all the hands they could get; I have no doubt that she was a full fledged farmer, hard-working and skilled in all aspects of farming. (And in the war that followed the Depression, women farmers showed that they

were fully capable of filling the boots of any man away fighting.) Recent numbers from Statistics Canada suggest that 72.5 per cent of “farm operators� are men, while 27.5 per cent are women. But I don’t buy it. In 1988, political economist Marilyn Waring wrote a book called If Women Counted, which has since become an influential classic. In that book, Waring showed that women do half (or likely,

This iconic photo of Allie Mae Burroughs during the Great Depression shows a woman who was more than just a “tenant farmer’s wife�. (The photo was taken by Walker Evans for thse Farm Security Administration.) more than half) of all the work on the planet. But conventional economic statistics (like the GDP) totally ignored “women’s work�—whether that was

making food, raising children, or running a household—because it was unpaid. Women’s work literally did not count. It was measured—or not measured—as having no economic value, a situation that largely prevails today. The reality is that most farms in Canada would likely fall apart without the work and organization of women, but that work is still undervalued and undercounted. And of course, the work that women farmers do includes traditional “women’s work� as well as farming and business of all kinds. On our farm it is my partner Emily who runs our Community-Shared Agriculture business. She hires and supervises staff. She orders seed and decides what will get planted where. When I construct a building or weld up some equipment, I make it to order, suited to the operation she runs. We make life plans together, of course, and she consults me about business decisions, but those decisions are ultimately hers to make. Emily is not alone. Globally, according to the Worldwatch Institute, women produce more than half of all food. And the percentage of women farm operators in Canada has crept up in the recent decade, but slowly. In the U.S. the number of women-operated farms doubled between 1982 and 2007. I would guess, anecdotally, that women equal if not outnumber men among new farmers in organic or local agriculture. Despite this, some organizations still use archaic gendered language, like various Cattlemen’s Associations. (The Ontario Cattlemen’s Association got with the times in 2013 and changed its name to the Beef Farmers of Ontario.) Many farming conferences and workshops still, almost reflex-

ively, pick mostly male presenters and speakers, even when there are plenty of knowledgeable farming women who can speak just as well and often better. This week Emily and Dianne got a reply to their emails about that farm conference banner. The conference, listening to their feedback, had changed the image in their banner to a new farming family. It now shows two

Kinsmen Dream Home Lottery helps KGH’s smallest patients By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – With their annual Dream Home Lottery well underway for 2015, the Kinsmen Club of Kingston has announced announced a recipient for funds generated from 2014’s very successful campaign. “Last year’s Dream Home Lottery From left, Dr. Michael Bell, program operational director for the Cancer center at KGH and Dr. Bob Connelly, program medical director of pedi- was an enormous success,” said Ryan atrics at KGH accept a donation from Ryan Hanes, vice-president for Hanes, Kinsmen vice-president and chair of the 2015 lottery. “We sold Photo/Mandy Marciniak

out last year and as a result we are able to make a donation to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation of $115,000.” Hanes announced the donation at KGH on Feb. 24 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which will receive $105,000 of the donation. Hanes also announced a commitment made by the Kinsmen to donate $1 million over the coming years to further help with improvements to the specialized unit. “Funds will be taken primarily from

the Dream Home proceeds and we want to assist in whatever direction the NICU takes, whether that is a new NICU unit or new equipment, we want to be there to help,” explained Hanes who also spoke of his personal connection to the NICU. “My oldest son spent his first two days in the NICU and this is a cause that is very dear to my heart. This is a great way for the lottery to give back to the community and I don’t think there is a more deserving and noble cause in the city.” Dr. Bob Connelly, program medical director of pediatrics at KGH, accepted the Kinsmen donation and spoke briefly about what the funds mean to the NICU right now and for the future: “Your generosity allows us to buy some of the newer equipment that we require and I am extremely touched that you are making such a generous commitment over the coming years too. That donation could very well allow us to get what we need most in the NICU and that is space. We need more space to treat patients and serve families and those funds will help us get there.” The remaining $10,000 of the Kinsmen donation will go to the cancer center at KGH; it will help provide expanded services for patients and also new equipment including a new ultrasound machine. Dr. Michael Bell, program operational director for the Cancer program at KGH, accepted the Cancer center’s portion of the donation and emphasized its value. “We are the benefactors of some of these funds and they really go a long way to helping some of our patients. These funds also help us purchase consistent service contracts to go along with our newer equipment to keep it operating properly.” Hanes said he hopes that community members take notice and buy a Dream Home Lottery ticket to support the NICU and cancer centre further. “The money generated from that lottery stays in the community and we need all the support we can get.” For more information on the Dream Home Lottery or to purchase a ticket visit www.kinsmendreamhome.com and for more information on the donation to UHKF and KGH visit www. uhkf.ca

passionate for the arts,� she said. “There’s something in Kingston that’s unique right now: ecofashion. Fashion, for me, is a collaboration of all the arts as we create wearable art.� She explained that her mentorship will allow students with different talents an opportunity to enter fashion design. “It’s an incubator to entering the world of fashion design,� she said. “There may be a girl who wants to try this and this provides an opportunity instead of waiting until college. The mentorship provides a space and direction. The whole process is an extension of what I’m doing already as a teacher. It’s a perfect collaboration of the arts, fashion and teaching.� She said she’s already thinking about all the opportunities available during the mentorship program. “I’m thinking of everything from fashion, hair accessories, a photo shoot to accompany it and other creative outlets.� Crystal Ball Co-chair Pamela Hart has been involved with the event since its inception in 1999. She has a background in politi-

cal science and a degree in education from Queen’s University. She serves as a Grade 1 teacher at Sir John A. Macdonald Elementary School. She continues to co-chair the event with Joanne Langlois of Twirl Design fame. “We started with 200 guests and a handful of volunteers,� she said. “Now we have 750 guests and 350 volunteers. Joanne [Langlois] has been instrumental in taking us to a different level.� She said that stepping outside the classroom allows students to learn exponentially. “I believe that’s what we get from the mentorship piece; it really encourages learning at another level,� she said. “We see an admiration grow between student and mentor. It gives the student someone to go to for advice for the rest of their life. Look at Rebecca [Hillis]. She was an unknown and Tim [Stiff] saw something. She had never done Italian opera before. And to hear her perform today, you see the benefits of the mentorship.� Continued on page 13

Gazette Lifestyle – You’ll have no worries about your coach turning into a pumpkin when you get out your gown to join Kingston’s who’s who at the star-studded Crystal Ball at the K-Rock Centre on Oct. 24. It’s the night that fairy godmothers and co-chairs Pamela Hart and Joanne Langlois wave their wands and turn the K-Rock Centre into a glittering castle. Tickets went on sale on Feb. 26. They’re hot items, and the gala, which features dinner, an auction, an art exhibit and a concert, is expected to sell out. The Crystal Ball is a biannual black tie affair in support of The Limestone Learning Foundation. The charitable organization funds special education projects in the areas of literacy and numeracy, science and technology, the arts and innovative practices. This year, 45 arts professionals will guide students in specialties relating to the gala’s theme: Mentorship—Enriching, Inspiring, Empowering. Aspiring students from the Limestone District School Board will pair with, be mentored by, perform with and co-create with acclaimed musicians, designers, writers, photographers and other creative artists. Musical mentors include musicians like Emily Fennell, Paul Langlois, Gord Sinclair and Tim Stiff. Visual artists include such creative individuals as Lori Richards (painter), Laura Donefer (glass artist) and Stefan Duerst (metal work/blacksmith). I’m thrilled to join these creative visual artists this year as a photography mentor. In 2013, Rebecca Hillis, 13, from Loughborough Public School, paired with mentor Tim Stiff. She performed at the Feb. 26 launch of

the 2015 Crystal Ball held at the K-Rock Centre, where the mentors were introduced to the media and public. Rebecca silenced the room with her operatic duet with Stiff. Hundreds of students apply to the program. How does one get selected? Tim Stiff said Rebecca Hillis made for a simple decision. “She made it easy for me,� he said. “I spent eight hours going over auditions submitted. It was excruciating. A whole bunch of students were really good. But when I heard Rebecca, in the first five seconds I knew she had what it takes. Working with Rebecca was fun and easy.� As for Rebecca and the time commitment required after being selected, she knew it was going to be hard work. Her eyes grew wide and she laughed as she said, “Time? It was a lot.� “I knew where I felt Rebecca could get to,� said Stiff. “There was enough there to go far. Even when she introduced herself on her audition video, you could see she was very mature. Starting in the spring we worked together once a week until October. It was really worthwhile to see how we could create an impact on the audience.� The young singer said she’d recommend the experience for others. “It was a great experience,� she said. “I learned things and found points in my voice that I didn’t know I had. It really boosted my confidence singing in front of all

R0012872706_0911

Co-chair Joanne Langlois became involved in The Crystal Ball in 2010. “It energizes me to know that we live in a community where people really see the value in our youth,� she said. “That’s the most important thing. Watching Tim and Rebecca perform this morning at the press conference, if not for this event, that wouldn’t ever have happened. I see firsthand how mentorships continue beyond The Crystal Ball.� She said she’s already feeling that the energy is palpable for this year’s event. “We’re changing the whole look this year,� she said. “I’m so excited about the designers. We’ve stepped up the way we’re using student talent.� Jane Douglas of the Limestone District School Board said the process is about providing opportunities to students who have desire and passion. “It’s about connecting to one’s passion and bringing learning alive,� she said. “It’s a fundraiser for The Limestone Learning Foundation, and that fundraising allows us to offer opportunities in schools and for schools. The Crystal Ball is a cornerstone of that. The whole journey is amazing, not just for the student and mentor, but for those of us who are part of it.�

Mentors have told Douglas that the process allows them to find their own true north. “When you have someone following their passion and surviving, it’s exciting and it’s about learning. There’s a marriage of education, arts and community. I get very emotional about this. There are always unique stories about students, who may be struggling, finding confidence. Every year there are breakout performances. When Rebecca did her sound check and the room was setting up, everyone in the room stopped. Some cried. I will see that again and share that 45 times this year.� Students can start uploading their audition material. To be eligible, they must be returning to Limestone District School Board schools and be enrolled in Grades 8 – 12 in September 2015. The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 17. For more information, visit: limestone. on.ca/Crystal_Ball/. Tickets to The Crystal Ball are available for $225. Corporate packages are available starting at $3000 (includes premium table for 10 and other promotions).

ENCHANTÉ

To dream, perchance to draw By Mark Bergin Columnist

Gazette Enchanté – The dream world inspires artist Katharine Vingoe-Cram. To Jung, the dream reflects “a spontaneous selfportrayal, in symbolic form, of the actual situation in the unconscious.” In other words, the dream is an expression of the inner world of the dreamer. Freud, in contrast, emphasized instinct and focussed on biological drives. Sex was a big one for him. Might have had something to do with his cocaine use. At the other end of the spectrum, Stephen King calls dreams psychic farts. For Katharine Vingoe-Cram, the dream world, regardless of the meaning, is the realm of art. She attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) for a Bachelor of Fine Art degree, with a major in fine art and a minor in art history. “Prior to that I did a lot of illustration. I’m really interested in graphic novels. First and foremost, I have a drawing practice involving small scale works of a sequential nature.” For the last few years her painting has addressed surreality, anxious dreaming and personal struggles and anxiety that are reflected in the dreaming world. “You’ll see the vestiges of too much pop culture, the anxiety caused by digital technology, too much TV and binge Youtubing. My paintings explore states of anxiety through the juxtaposition of abstract form and representational space. I am interested in alienation and discomfort produced by institutional structures. Watercolor is important in its tendency towards the smaller-

scale, the medium lends itself to the language of dreaming and surreal experiences.” Chatting with Katharine at times feels like a surreal experience. She’s well versed in the structure of dreams. The last time I sensed someone had such a wealth of wisdom of that world was when exploring the underground and the hidden storage areas of The Royal Ontario Museum with a curator who specialized in cross-cultural symbolism and dream perceptions. Not all of Katharine’s work revolves around dreams. “Other times my work offers windows into other worlds. Assuming there is a normal scene, there will be something off about it, like a painting of a house with half a wall missing and you see inside with figures, or there will be a mixed media painting with intense debris coming out of something ordinary like a bridge, or a rooftop scene on a street. It seems like there’s tension underneath or between things or through things.” She’s also interested in collaborative work and is currently creating an upcoming show tentatively called It’s Not Working, an installation with Gabriel Cheung to take place at Union Gallery in July 2015. “It explores friendship and collaboration as a starting point for art that’s very personal. It will be a look at relationship as a genesis of material. What I find interesting about that was why we work together, what is significant about our work together. What about the friendship is interesting? The show is about the hypothetical end of our friendship.” Continued on page 18

Cecil and a little mouse answer a longstanding question for Mary to endear her to any one of us. Cecil considered it his personal mission in life to bring to Marguerite as much misery as possible. Ever since the day she told him he was a freak because he could move his ears up and down, Cecil spent much of his time plotting revenge. And Cecil was scared of nothing. He respected Miss Crosby our teacher, but even her severest reprimand made little impact on the young farm boy who stood close to 6 feet at 11 years of age. The day he caused near havoc in the Northcote School was bitterly cold. Miss Crosby had ordered us all into the basement at recess, and we were to be on our best behaviour. That meant little to Cecil. He chased the girls around the posts that held up the floor, and hid behind the wood pile to immerge when the meekest of us were within grabbing distance. I saw him head for the darkest corner of the basement. He was sneaking around quietly as if he was hiding from someone. He made a pounce behind the woodpile. When he came out his hands were thrust deep in his pocket and he wore that look on his face that told me we were all to be in for a surprise. He walked ever so slowly up behind Marguerite. Then like chain

lightening he locked one arm around under her chin and thrust the other down the back of her blouse. In his hand I could see a squawking and very agitated field mouse. It was nothing to see any number of mice seeking shelter in the basement of the Northcote School, which didn’t make it the most pleasant place to be, even on a cold winter’s day. Well! What a commotion Cecil caused! Marguerite made a beeline for the stairs and most of us were right behind her. Within seconds Miss Crosby assessed the situation, and ripped the blouse from her shoulders. I saw something far more interesting than the mouse that scurried quickly to the nearest hole in the baseboard. There for all to see was a woolsey-gansey exactly like the one I had on that very minute. It probably had come from

Eaton’s catalogue just as mine had. Even though Marguerite was still hysterical and Miss Crosby had gone into the basement to seek out the criminal who had done what she called a dastardly act, I walked over to my nemesis and ran my finger around the neck of her undergarment. “Aren’t those woolsey-ganseys the most hateful things?” I asked, my voice dripping like sugar. Marguerite was a long way off from wearing a bra. She would be in a gansey, just like the rest of us young girls at the Northcote School. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Gazette Lifestyle – The only thing I could tolerate about the woolsey-gansey was the name. At that time in my young life I was attracted to double names and would dearly loved to have been called by both of mine...just like Princess Margaret Rose. And so the only redeeming feature of the woolseygansey in my estimation was its double name. The woolsey-gansey was a hateful undershirt that all young girls were forced to wear until they were old enough to wear a brassier. And back in the 30’s it was a mark of maturity when you graduated from the woolsey-gansey into your first bras. My sister Audrey, after many years of proclaiming she was ready to wear a brassier, finally succeeded in convincing Mother that unless she was allowed the privilege immediately, she would be forced to give up playing ball, or running tag at the Northcote school. As far as I was concerned she was a long way off from needing a brassier. But her argument was

convincing enough that on Mother’s next trip into Renfrew, Audrey became the proud owner of two new .54 cent bras, bought from the corset department of Walkers Stores. And I, unhappily, inherited yet another hateful woolsey-gansey. In the winter time this most hated of all undergarments had short sleeves, which scratched like blue fury. And although it was the least of my concerns because I was so young, the older girls at the Northcote school vowed it took away any shape they might have. In the summer time the woolseygansey became simply a gansey. It was made of sheer dimity material, but I hated IT just as passionately. Marguerite, that hateful classmate of mine at the Northcote School, vowed she never had to wear a woolsey-gansey. She certainly wasn’t old enough for a brassier, so I couldn’t imagine what she wore under her blouses and sweaters. For a long time this dilemma caused me to ponder for hours at a time. And I took to looking closely at Marguerite to see if I could glimpse any tell-tale sign that she in fact did have on a woolseygansey. The whole issue came to a head one winter day. Marguerite had few friends at the Northcote School. Her uppity attitude did little

ENCHANTÉ

To dream, perchance to draw Katharine grew up in a family of artists. Her mother is a theatre director, and her father is a musician. The creation of art comes naturally to her. When she was younger a lot of artists impacted her: people like David Hockney, Paul Klee and Kiriko Nananan. Fascinating influences. Not many people outside the art or pop culture world have heard of them, never mind naming them as influences. Hockney has diverse skills, working as a painter, printmaker, stage designer and photographer. His work in pop art exceeds that of Warhol (I feel the arrows from psychedelic purists already), but without the glitz and social scene. Hockney posited the interesting thesis that the Old Masters were able to create their works by using the camera obscura, a contraption that is essentially a pin hole camera that allows light to pass through and then be projected onto paper. The result is an image that can be traced, forming a precise reproduction. This may be true, as we know that Leonardo da Vinci used the camera obscura to model the human eye. Klee was influenced by expressionism, cubism and realism. He even taught at the Bauhaus for ten years, until 1931. Kiriko Niranan is a Japanese manga (comic/cartoon) artist who specializes in josei—comics for women. Listing these artists as significant to her own work is telling about Katharine Vingoe-Cram. There’s a depth of mind and talent that is both unusual and pleasant. “I’ve been drawing since seven, and started watercolors at 22. My grandmother said she was not painting with watercolors anymore, ‘so take all my watercolors.’ The high cost of oils made oil painting seem impractical. The watercolors were of a high quality. I treat the watercolor medium more like drawing than painting.� After completing her BFA at NSCAD, there were about two years when she was away from her artistic, creative work. “I talked myself into making art again after really thinking about it. Why am I doing this? I have the privilege of being able to do this. What am I really saying with my work? In some ways I’m doing it for myself. It’s a therapeutic tool. Making art is an imperfect strategy for coping. I felt a lot of creativity when I was younger. I miss it. I have personal and emotional reasons for doing art.� She continued her artistic training at Queen’s University, where she completed an MA in Art History. “I learned about different ways that art has been perceived. In some ways, freedom of expression is an illusion. Freedom of expression is a historically specific idea. There are many other ways of understanding art and culture outside the narrow European expression. There are different ways art can be important. Even the question, ‘Who gets to make art?’ is important.� Now she’s in the middle of the arts

world in Studio 214B of the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. She also serves as the Grants Officer for the Kingston Arts Council. “I hope to finish a body of work on dreaming and start an idea for a new series taken from dreams but also about personal struggles with a family illness and the guilt about being away, separated from family. It will be a series of drawings.�

Your

Which brings us back to dreams and why they are important. “The structure of dreams is important in terms of coming up with the most appropriate way to represent the dream. I don’t try to paint it literally. I’m trying to come up with my own forms as much as possible, to represent its content in an abstract way. My forms are starting to develop an iconography. I see the same shapes

over and over. That’s why the structure is important. The content ends up being totally obscured. I’m interested in seeing how people react without telling someone what the dream is about.� She describes to me a dream and the resulting painting that came from it. But there’s something too personal about it to share it publicly (my choice, not hers). Suffice to say that what’s coming next in

her work will be deep and fascinating. She says she may experiment with audio, and what’s inspiring her now are audio books and music. She says, “Content remains an obscure mystery.� As it should. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin
