News — A joint session in Plevna with North Frontenac Council March 19 was “a very good meeting with a lot of things on the table,” Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith said at Central’s regular Council meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. “Everybody from our Council was there except for the two Hinchinbrooke representatives, but don’t worry, we brought your mugs and pins for you,” Smith joked. Smith said the two councils discussed a wide range of topics including fire services, planning, waste disposal and the boat ramp on Big Gull Lake, which straddles the two municipalities. But while much of the discussion was focused on potential future arrangements, there were a couple of concrete plans to come out of the meeting. With the departure of North Frontenac Chief Building Official George Gorrie, it was decided that Central CBO Jeremy Neven would oversee both departments with a new building inspector to be hired to assist. “This is our first brainstorming session, looking at partnerships for our communities and there are no hidden agendas,” Smith said in a joint press release March 24. “This meeting is a great opportunity to look at reducing costs and promoting working together for the better good of service delivery, satisfac-

tion of our residents and good fiscal responsibility,” said North Frontenac Mayor Ron Higgins. Each Council approved an individual resolution, approving in principle a Joint Services Agreement to the building departments of Central and North Frontenac Townships (i.e. one chief building official and one building inspector). This arrangement between Frontenac County municipalities is the latest in a current trend to combine resources. Just this month, North, Central and South Frontenac Townships signed an agreement to share costs (resulting in substantial savings) for environmental monitoring at waste sites in the three townships. “The CAOs’ committee and public works managers are doing a lot of work on waste disposal,” said Smith. As to the boat launch on Big Gull Lake, Central Frontenac interim CAO Steve Silver said both townships are “on board” with the project but it may take North Frontenac a year to come up with the funds. “We put aside $15,000,” Silver said. “North said they’d take a look at it and if they don’t have the money in this year’s budget, maybe for next year.” The press release also said that both councils agreed that “the townships cannot accomplish all that needs to be done without working together and agreed to meet again in May.” The May meeting is scheduled for May 21 at 4 p.m. at the Oso Firehall. “It’s going to be a barbecue,” said Smith.

Changing of the guard: Jim Zimmerman takes over as Central Frontenac CAO public sector as a municipal executive and 10 in the private sector as a business owner) he has filled a variety of roles including stints with Siemens Building technologies, the Town of Marathon, the City of Ottawa and the Town of Innisfil. He holds a bachelor of engineering from Lakehead University. His title of CAO/Public Works Manager/Deputy Clerk may well be unique in Ontario municipalities as most CAOs of smaller communities tend to also hold the clerk role. But, in the case of Central Frontenac, who needed a public works manager as well as a CAO and who had Cathy MacMunn ready to step into the clerk’s role, this could be a very workable arrangement. “I’m not aware of any other municipalities with this arrangement, but a lot of current CAOs have come from public works,” Zimmerman said. “And the lion’s share of a municipal budget does come from pub-

News — The new CAO/Public Works Manager/Deputy Clerk of Central Frontenac is Jim Zimmerman. Council made it official at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake, passing a bylaw to replace interim CAO/Clerk Steve Silver with Zimmerman. For his part, the well-travelled and supposedly retired Silver will begin an interim stint as Fairmount Home administrator, filling in for Julie Shillington, who is on medical leave. Zimmerman too has a rather lengthy resume, most recently with the City of Belleville, where he was the director of environmental and operational services (essentially the same role as a public works manager). In his 28-year career (12 in the TICO#50007364

lic works. “I think you will find those with a public works background have touched all other departments — fire, recreation, etc. — be it through snow removal or buildings and it does make logical sense.” He said that he also believes his 10 years of owning his own business will give him an advantage in areas like human resources. While he’d only been on the job two days and had been preoccupied with orienting himself and meeting with staff, he did say an early priority will be getting a strategic plan in place. “During the interview process, Council did stress the importance of working on themes and objectives and developing a strategic plan that will fall in line with the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw,” he said. He said he and his family are looking forward to being part of the community and enjoying its ameni-

Central passes 2015 budget with lower tax rate but higher taxes overall By Craig Bakay Reporter

News — Central Frontenac Council officially passed its budget bylaw for 2015 at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake and while the tax rate actually went down, don’t get the idea you’ll be paying less taxes because (with rare exceptions) the assessed value of your property went up. The tax rate is 2.1 per cent lower than 2014 but MPAC assessments have been rising for the past few years. For example, the average home in Central Frontenac is listed at $225,647, which is $9,186 higher than last year. This means the average homeowner will be paying about $47 more in 2015 than in 2014 for municipal property taxes. For a property assessed at $100,000, the tax increase will be about $22. Overall, the Township expects expenditures of $16,098,474 or $3,742,850 (30.29 per cent) more than 2014’s total of $12,355,623. It expects revenues of $9,544,837 or $3,524,831 (58.55 per cent) more than 2014’s total of $6,020,006. Some of the increase is due to a major renovation to Road 38 in Sharbot Lake whereby the bridge just south of Granite Ridge Education Centre will be removed to form a level crossing. Much

of that project will be paid for with a government grant. Other increases include increased costs for policing. ••• In 2014, the residents of Central Frontenac paid $78,658.12 in salaries to its elected representatives. It also paid an additional $1,47.78 in professional development and conferences, $621 in per diem and $1,446.80 in mileage. Of that, former Mayor Janet Gutowski received $11,264.19 in salary plus $57.23 in mileage. Dep. Mayor (now Mayor) Frances Smith received $9,292.97 plus 84.72 in mileage. Coun. Jeff Matson received $8,825.15 plus $1,047.78 for professional development, Coun. Tom Dewey received $8,398.37 plus $412.85 in mileage. Coun. Norm Guntensperger, Wayne Millar, John Purdon and Heather Fox each received $7,885.15. Coun. Phillip Smith (who replaced Bill Snyder, who died in office) received $6,439.20. The new Council members, Cindy Kelsey, Victor Heese, Jamie Riddell, Bill MacDonald, Sherry Whan and Brent Cameron each received $482.94.

At last week’s Council meeting, interim CAO Steve Silver noted that a lot of the items on the report were “backended.” “Council didn’t control its previous CAO very well,” Silver joked (Silver was replaced at the meeting by new full-time CAO/ Public Works Manger/Deputy Clerk Jim Zimmerman.

More hydro shenanigans: burdensome rate increase looms for residents

Kanata Kourier-Standard Time to start caring about Kanata Kourier-Standard somebody else’s troubles Arnprior Chronicle-Guide then my cat noticed this tiny little number 4 (I didn’t know type could get that small) and upon further examination realized that the new qualifying age only applied to those who hadn’t already been receiving the seniors rebate. Presumably I still get the seniors rate as long as I keep the account open. Needless to say, the wind went out of my sails pretty quick. But it did get me to thinking about an old Steve Goodman Song — Somebody Else’s Troubles (I’m not sure whether the bar in Chicago was named for the song or the other way around so don’t ask).

Column — I had planned on using this week’s space for a rather terse admonishment of the Royal Bank’s new eligibility rules for seniors rebates. The bad news came in a leaflet with this month’s bank statement. Having recently turned 60 (yeah, I didn’t think I’d make it this far either but me and Keith Richards, eh?) I was livid to learn that the eligibility age was rising to 65 come June. But

Editorial - Last week, the Ontario government announced changes to how your electricity bill will look in 2016. Gone is the automatic 10 per cent reduction known as the ‘clean-energy’ benefits, which averaged $17 a month for most residents. The debt retirement surcharge of $5.60, originally designed to help pay off costs associated with the province’s nuclear program, is also coming off. When it’s all said and done, the net result will be an increase $11.40 to most residents’ hydro bills, unless you’re deemed to be low-income, in which case you may qualify for a new credit of $20 to $50 per month. While we applaud the credits targeted to benefit the province’s most vulnerable residents, we can’t help but feel like more should be done to alleviate the increased financial burden most residents will shoulder as a result of these changes. Ontario already has one of the most expensive electricity delivery systems in North America. Why in this time of fiscal restraint are they saddling most residents with what amounts to a bill increase of $137 per year? The generation and distribution of electricity in Ontario is reasonably efficient according to credible reports and accounts; however, the province’s embrace of expensive generation systems, first nuclear and then renewables such as wind and solar, has meant that we all shoulder a bit more than our neighbours. Now, we do feel that combatting climate change by moving toward sustainable development is a worthwhile policy objective, but this latest increase seems more like a shameless cash grab. The province has made no secret of its financial woes, and is said to be considering plans to privatize either some or all of Ontario Hydro in incremental phases to help fight the deficit. Critics argue this will only increase the financial burden passed on to the consumers, as shareholder dividends would inevitably syphon off revenues that would have otherwise been used to fund critical programs such as health care and education. Surely there are better ways to combat the deficit than these poorly wrought excuses for public policy? A progressive carbon levy, pay per use roadways or slight increases to the corporate tax rate (already the lowest in North America) would all help bolster provincial coffers in infinitely more equitable ways than what amounts to this flat-tax callously downloaded to residents. We demand greater transparency with how revenues are raised in this province –but most of all, we demand a break. beings will do anything about most of the world’s big problems. Remember when we were told to eat our vegetables because there were children starving in Africa? There are still a lot of children starving in Africa (and more than a few right here at home for that matter). That was 50 years ago we heard that and we haven’t managed to fix the problem. OK, now’s the time to mention food banks and yes, they are wonderful but ask any of the folks who work there, they’re all a bit overwhelmed. And they don’t really help those starving kids in Africa.

people’s problems because the food bank volunteers certainly seem to. But, when it comes to those in a position to actually do something about starving kids, namely those in big business and governments, it’s not over the top at all. Big businesses care about big profits, and big governments? Hell it’s anybody’s guess what goes on in the minds of politicians and bureaucrats at the highest levels. It’s sad too because big business has the resources to feed the world. Big government has the resources to distribute big business’s resources.

Central looking at reducing Road 38 speed limit to 60 kph around Evergreen Road News — Central Frontenac will be looking at reducing speed on Road 38 around the Hinchinbrooke Transmission Station following a notice of motion submitted by Coun. Brent Cameron at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake. The motion was seconded by the other District 4 (Hinchinbrooke) Coun. Phillip Smith. The stretch of road in question extends from the municipal garage at Godfrey to the junction with White Lake Road, which includes a “sharp

bend of at least 65-70 degrees.” Cameron said he’s been talking to “a number of families” in the area who are concerned for their children when they get on and off school buses. “One family drives their kids to school because they’re concerned about traffic when the kids are getting on and off the buses,” Cameron said. In his motion, Cameron said the combination of the “sharp” turn and the grade to the south restricts visibility for the northern access point for Evergreen Road. “The entrance for the Hinchin-

brooke Transmission Station is at the mid-point of the corner, and is frequented by large service vehicles both for entry and exit,” the motion said. Cameron said when he went to look at the area closely, he noticed there was also a sign inside the transmission station alerting drivers coming on to Road 38 of approaching traffic at highway speeds. The motion concluded with “be it resolved that Council instruct staff to investigate the feasibility of enacting a speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour along that segment of Road 38 that extends between the southern

entrance of Road 38 to a point 100 metres north of the Hydro One Transmission facility at Hinchinbrooke.” The motion seemed to receive a rather lukewarm response from Council but Coun. Bill MacDonald did say: “This motion is just to get a report. “We’ll discuss the pros and cons of this when the report comes in.” ••• And in another notice of motion, Coun. Tom Dewey wants to see one of the counter windows in the lobby of the Township Office in Sharbot Lake made accessible to people with disabilities.

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC

In his notice, Dewey said: “pursuant to the Accessibility Act, that staff investigate (obtain quotes) in respect to making one of our counter windows in the office lobby compliant with the AODA. “Furthermore, if funds are available in this year’s budget that the work be completed in 2015, otherwise the figures obtained from the staff report be brought forward for discussion in the 2016 budget.” The Ontario Government enacted the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act in 2005, with the goal and timeframe of making all government facilities accessible by 2025.

Students become their own boss though KEDCO’s Summer Company Program By Mandy Marciniak

KEDCO,” she said. Jordan Zelt also participated in Summer Company last year. Zelt, who was a Science student at Queen’s when he began, always wanted to start a business but never really knew how. He learned about Summer Company and decided to apply. “The program offered financing in the form of $3,000 to start the company and that was one of my biggest challenges,” explained Zelt. “I didn’t have the money to register the business and I didn’t know how to register a company and Summer Company gave me the knowledge Alexandra Zemba (left) and Jordan Zelt participatto move forward.” ed in the Summer Company Program in 2014.

News - Looking for a summer job can be stressful for students. Ideally, most want the perfect mix of fun and earning potential and in many cases there is nothing that even comes close to that available. That is where KEDCO’s Summer Company Program comes in; run by the government of Ontario, the youth entrepreneurship program has been running since 2001 in Kingston and aims to help students between the ages of 15 and 29 run their own summer business. Last summer, Alexandra Zemba participated in the program and although she had no business experience when she began, she now runs a successful and expanding business.

“It was really hard to find work so I thought I would apply and see where it took me and it has been really good for me,” said Zemba. “My idea was a led free and zinc free fishing tackle company. Summer Company helped to guide me through the whole process of starting a business and really getting things going.” Now Zemba’s business, SeaCandy EnviroJigs, sells products to Bass Pro Shops in Ontario and she recently competed in the Dragon’s Den NextGenDen competition. She has also purchased manufacturing space in Kingston and plans on expanding her product line to the U.S. later this year. “The Summer Company gave me the push I needed and there is no way I would have been successful or maybe even started the business without Summer Company and

Service, a company focused on marine and boat service, in March of 2014 and has been running it ever since. He even had enough business and success to hire another employee last fall. He also started working for Launchlab, a company that specializes in helping technology based startups. “My whole background was science based before and I never really thought about the entrepreneurial world or anything like that, but after Summer Company I wanted to do more,” Zelt said. “The program made me realize my career aspirations of wanting to go into business and since then I have applied to MBA programs too.” Applications for the 2015 Summer Company Program are now being accepted; with only 25 spots available competition could get a bit stiff, but Rebecca Darling, a senior business consultant at KEDCO, encourages all students interested to apply. “There is an eligibility checklist that students go through and the best thing for those interested in the program to do is check out the website,” she said. “Applicants can certainly reach out to us too if they want to bounce some ideas off of us and see if their idea is a fit for Summer Company. We certainly want to help as much as we can.” Zemba also encourages students to apply and she hopes that they get as much out of the program as she did. “The program and workshops allowed me to gain confidence in my product and they brought me out of my shell a bit,” she said. “Before Summer Company I wouldn’t have been comfortable doing a trade show or approaching people and getting them to come to my booth. The program really gave me more confidence and skills.” For more information or to fill out an application visit www.ontario.ca/ summercompany Applications will be accepted until April 30.

Kingston becomes first city in Canada to give life-saving app “a pulse” By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – On Sept. 9, Chet Babcock travelled to the Invista Centre to play hockey. Babcock has played hockey his entire life and now, even as a retired schoolteacher, he continues to play. He remembers skating on the ice that day, but he doesn’t remember much else. “I guess I collapsed. My heart went into ventricular fibrillation and the problem with that is that your heart stops,” explained Babcock. “Fortunately, two of my teammates came to me and started CPR while another team member called 911 and another came out into the foyer looking for an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). Without all of that I probably wouldn’t have survived.” Babcock’s teammates worked fast and kept his heart going until an ambulance arrived and a volunteer firefighter used an AED to shock his heart. But sadly, many others who experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) aren’t so lucky. This year, 40,000 Canadians will suffer from a SCA - one every 13 minutes. Many of those who suffer will do so out of hospital and in public places and without CPR, proper use of an AED and immediate medical attention many of them will not survive. That is where PulsePoint comes in, a new app that is designed to help this process. PulsePoint is a free mobile app used by emergency first responders to alert CPR-

trained users when someone in a nearby public place needs CPR. It also shows CPR-trained individuals where to find a public defibrillator if one is close. The app is currently being used in many cities across the United States and had yet to cross the border until now. “We are really excited to be the first city in Canada to get on board,” said Kingston Fire and Rescue Chief Rheaume Chaput at the launch. “The app gets the community involved and allows people with CPR training to help those in need.” Dr. Steven Brooks, an emergency physician and clinician-scientist at Kingston General Hospital and Queen’s University, learned about the app last year and approached KFR to ask for their help launching it in the city. KFR and Chief Chaput were immediately on board and on March 23 they celebrated the official launch at the Invista Centre. “Bystander CPR and public access to defibrillators are two things we know can improve survival of these patients. The problem is that we know in most cases those things don’t happen,” explained Brooks at the launch. “PulsePoint to me seems to be one of the most viable solutions to this problem. It helps those in need get the help they need immediately.” PulsePoint works in conjunction with local emergency services. When a call is placed to those services regarding a SCA, a notification goes out to PulsePoint users in the area. They can use the app to locate the person in arrest, start CPR and locate an AED in the area before

an ambulance arrives. For every minute that passes, SCA survival rates decrease by 7-10 per cent so the technology can be life-saving. “It is so important to have an app like this to help in scenarios like mine,” echoed Babcock. “I was fortunate enough to have this sort of intervention, but many people I know have not been so fortunate. I am a huge supporter of CPR and AEDs and I want more people to have access to the intervention I received.” Brooks encourages everyone in the community with CPR training to download the free app and use it. “If nobody downloads the app or uses it willingly then the solution won’t work,” he added. “This app can save lives, but only with use.” A number of community partners have already signed on to help encourage Kingstonians to get CPR training and download PulsePoint on their Apple or Android devices, including: the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Kingston General Volunteers from KFR and St John Ambulance demHospital, Queen’s University and Bell onstrated what should happen when the app works Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

Exploring historical dresses and the women behind them three months. “The project is to look at women’s clothing as a way of putting together a biography about them,” News – We often chose clothing that reflects explained MacKay, a long time dress historian. “We our personalities and the way we are feeling at the assume that clothing reflects who we are and we moment, but it is possible to learn about a person’s wanted to turn that around and see if it works the other personality and their history simply by analyzing way too, and it does seem to pretty well.” MacKay worked on the project with intern and their garments? That is what dress historian Elaine MacKay and textile conservator Emma Neale wanted textile conservator Emma Neale; they are recipients to find out – and they’ve learned a lot over the past of The Isabel Bader Fellowship and Internship in Textile Conservation and Research, which is awarded to two successful applicants every two years and sponsored by Dr. Isabel Bader. The duo started the project by choosing a couple of garments from the expansive Queen’s University Collection of Canadian Dress at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, which includes more that 2,500 VEHICLE TENDER items.

“We’ve had a lot of great discoveries. Each piece is very unique and has its own story and that is so special.” The project has also been very special for the art gallery itself. While the Queen’s University Collection of Canadian Dress is a permanent collection at the centre, it usually doesn’t receive so much attention, especially when it comes to conservation. “The program not only gives us fresh eyes and the ability to bring in expertise that we don’t have in house, but it also allows us to restore items that we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise,” said Alicia Boutilier, Curator of Canadian Historical Art at the centre. “These pieces are all regionally based and it really shows the variety and lushness of clothing that women were wearing in Kingston in the 19th century.” MacKay and Neale have been sharing their work with Queen’s students and others in the museum community over the past few weeks, but there are no plans for a special exhibit to showcase their work. Instead, they hope to publish their work and they hope others benefit from it. “There is very little written about this period of dress in Canada, so it is important to get the work out there,” said MacKay. “The exposure is also wonderful for the collection moving forward and we hope more people are interested for that Textile conservator Emma Neale (left) and dress hisreason.” torian Elaine MacKay with a teal ball gown that was For more information on the project an worn by a Kingston woman in the 19th century. the permanent collection visit www.agnes.

Ballet: a feted feat of the feet Kara Gooding, Meggi Graham and Natalie Palma— visiting a Grade 3/4 class at St. John XXIII Catholic School. The dancers moved slowly around the classroom while children worked, first in reading time, and then language arts. At the end of lessons, the ballerinas answered questions during a talkback. The children grilled them. They were fascinated to learn that the dancers train longer and harder than many professional athletes. Dance enthralls us. During one of my recent Tett open studios, a gentleman asked me about the history of the tutu. Public misconceptions regarding dance are rampant. Something I’ve heard consistently from the uninformed and culturally inept is the notion that ballet is not healthy for dancers, that they bend and twist in ways that aren’t good for them, that damage their bodies. That may happen—especially for dancers who work en pointe too early—with inept teachers in schools that push children to do things that are developmentally inappropriate with regard to their physiology, but it won’t happen in ballet training with professional teachers who themselves understand a child’s physical development and its relationship to dance.

Ballerinas moves across the stage like elegant fairies dwelling in a forest of the Otherworld. Many the young child dreams of being on that stage. In December, I attended a matinee performance of New York City Ballet’s Nutcracker. It was ideal timing for those whose bedtimes arrive before 9 p.m. As I looked around the sold-out 2586seat theatre during intermission, I smiled: more than half of those in attendance were pre-teens, each in her or his personal dream. For many, it was a first introduction to live ballet. Chloe, a six-yearold beside me, smiled throughout the entire first act, her legs not quite reaching the ground, wiggling back and forth. As the curtain closed on Act One, she stood and twirled. I see the same reaction when children see ballerinas I’m working with in public around Kingston. Frankly, I often see adults in awe of dancers. One of my photo sessions in January involved three dancers—

As for the tutu’s history: ballet has been around since the 1500s, the tutu, not so long. Today, the tutu is synonymous with classical ballet. It is believed that Marie Taglioni (1804–1884) wore the first tutu on stage in La Sylphide in 1832. Others point to Virginia Zucci in the 1880s, because her dress bore a stronger resemblance to the modern tutu. As the technical skills of ballet intensified, and as the footwork became more intricate and required increased training and skills, it became natural to allow the public to see what the body was doing. The tutu developed so the audience could witness the fine art of the dancer. Most early tutus were white. Today, tutus come in a wide range of colors and styles. Nothing beats the elaborate costumes worn in George Balanchine’s Jewels, where the ballerinas appear as emeralds, rubies and diamonds. The tutus are heavy and elaborate, and the sparkles can be seen from the farthest corner of the theatre. Likewise, there is little on stage more extreme than the difference between Odette and Odile, the White Swan and Black Swan in Continued on page 16

Ballet: a feted feat of the feet Continued from page 15

Swan Lake. The tutu, by its very nature, appears ethereal, surreal even. In addition to highlighting the legwork of the ballerina, the tutu also allows the dancer to appear as if she is floating through the air on a glistening cloud. The tutu can range from the longer, flowing Degas-style to the classical pancake or Balanchine’s powder puff look. Until the early 1700s, dancers wore elegant, floor-length dresses. But in 1730, Marie Camargo raised the hem of her dress enough for audiences to see her feet and ankles, to demonstrate a bit of legwork. Over the decades, the ballerina’s dress continued upward until it became what we now know as the tutu. Former ballerina, Jennifer Homans, traced the history of ballet in her book Apollo’s Angels. Ballet arose in the Renaissance court cultures of Italy and France. In the days of Louis XIV, men performed the intricate footwork that we now associate with women in the ballerina role. The French Revolution in the late 18th century changed that. As the populace rebelled, the refined movements of men in dance became sym-

bolic of the aristocracy. Homans explains that by the mid-1830s, it had become a disgrace for a man to dance on stage. As women took over the techniques requiring extreme leg extensions and high jumps, anything covering their legs hampered their technique. “Female dancers take the ideals that existed in the aristocratic art form and turned them into a feminine and spiritual ideal of which they are masters,” notes Homans. “Then you get this image of the ballerina on toe, in these more Romantic Era ballets of sylphs and unrequited love and the romantic themes that carried ballet into the 19th century.” According to Homans, the tutu has a storied past. “With a name probably derived from the French children’s word ‘tutu’—meaning ‘bottom’—the costume is a product of evolution that made its debut in 1832, an instant classic, so to speak, that’s been swathed in magic ever since.” By the 1940s, the ballet skirt had evolved to new levels of intricacy; some included wire hoops, nylon and rayon. The most famous tutu designer/ maker was probably Barbara Karinska (1886–1983), born in Russia, but

who later made New York her home. She worked on more than 75 Balanchine productions and originated the powder puff tutu, which is not as flat as the pancake tutus favored by Russian dancers. Of the costumes she created, 9000 are still housed in Lincoln Center’s wardrobe department below the home of New York City Ballet. To help tutus remain stiff when not worn, they are hung upside down. Some are hand-washed after each performance, while others are dry-cleaned after three or four performances. As for en pointe work, its history started as entertainment. Travelling troupes would thrill audiences by walking on their toes. Dancers displayed strength and skill by dancing on their toes. It made them appear taller and even more graceful. Marie Taglioni of the 19th century Romantic Ballet Era is credited as the first dancer known to dance in a ballet en pointe. She changed the face of ballet, turning en pointe work into a form of artistic expression requiring skill, strength and stamina. Each pointe shoe is painstakingly fitted to a dancer’s feet, so she can dance on her toes without injury. You cannot simply walk into a generic

shoe shop and buy pointe shoes. Here in Kingston, a ballet master fitter travels from Ottawa a few times a year to provide the fitting for dancers serious about their art. Failure to be properly fitted can end an aspiring ballerina’s hopes for a career in professional dance. This needless tragedy happens far too often and is easily preventable with the competent knowledge of a skilled shoe fitter combined with a dance teacher knowing when the ballerina is ready to move to en pointe work. Melissa Mahady Wilton, the City of Kingston dance engagement coordinator and a teacher at the Kingston School of Dance, who regularly assesses dancers’ readiness, fears that many dancers are allowed to move to en pointe far too early, years before her body and skill level should. This is where the misconception about ballet injuries arises. When Mahady Wilton’s own students are assessed as ready for en pointe, she recognizes it as a great achievement, an acknowledgement of a dancer’s hard work preparing for the physical and technical demands of this advanced technique. Sometimes it takes several years for a dancer to reach this stage.

Some never work en pointe. To witness dance and ballet at the highest level, keep your eyes on the calendar at the Grand Theatre and the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. Watch for the upcoming Kingston School of Dance annual performance at the Grand Theatre in June. You can even see ballet classes in action at KSD through the windows at the Tett. Often, when dance companies visit Kingston, free master classes are provided at the Grand Theatre. Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin.

Field trip to Tinseltown: Kingston students rub elbows with Hollywood glitterati By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

what goes on behind the scenes of a TV show. “Most people don’t have the opportunity to see that. It’s such a fast-paced environment and everything is so organized. The director will say ‘cut’ and everybody just knows what to do at that point.” Simply observing the level of hard work and dedication it takes to succeed was also educational for the students. “Everyone had some sort of creativity in their bones, but it was more about who went after it the most who had the biggest drive,” said Hurt. “In LA, in a city where everyone is creative and imaginative, you have to separate yourself from everyone else. I learned that more than being creative you have to be persistent in that creativity.” SHSM teacher John Esford explained that this is the program’s third trip to Hollywood in seven years, and that they try to alternate between the field’s two “meccas”, Los Angeles and New York City, every other year. “The kids were in seventh heaven over the trip,” he noted. “The brush with fame really was the icing on the cake. Some of the students were actually trembling, almost in tears. It really touched a nerve with them; it was

News - “Welcome to Hollywood! Everybody has a dream! What’s your dream? Some dreams come true, some don’t; but keep on dreamin’ – this is Hollywood!” So goes the final quote of the movie Pretty Woman, and indeed 35 high school students (plus six teachers/supervisors) from Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School and Belleville’s Nicholson Catholic College had some dreams of their own in mind when they traveled to Los Angeles over March break as part of a Communications Technology field trip. The students toured everything from Universal Studios to Warner Brothers to Disneyland, and participated in a number of workshops such as improv, makeup and acting. “The whole city kind of feels like a movie set,” observed Holy Cross Grade 11 student Andrew Hurt. “The attitude in LA is very different from somewhere small like Kingston. Everyone was selling something… everyone is an actor, actress or musician and they’re trying to make it. I like that drive.” Of course, a trip to Hollywood wouldn’t be complete without some sort of brush with fame, which the students got in spades following viewing a recording of the sitcom Mom.

“We got to meet the cast, so we met [the show’s stars] Anna Faris and Allison Janney,” Hurt explained. “And a cool surprise was Chris Pratt [Anna Faris’ husband and star of Parks and Recreation and Guardians of the Galaxy] and Octavia Spencer [Oscar winner for The Help] also happened to be there.” Meeting and chatting with Chris Pratt in particular was an extremely exciting experience for many of the students. “A lot of the guys, we kind of acted like little kids again,” Hurt laughed. “It was like meeting a superhero. They were really nice people, really down to earth. We got to ask them questions about how we go from where we are to where they are.” He added that it was interesting to see how what he and his fellow students are learning in their SHSM [Specialist High Skills Major] focus program applies to real life. “It basically enriches kids who want to go into the tech field,” explained Grade 12 student Claudia Pawlak of the program. “It provides us with a bunch of opportunities to get out into the field early - on the high school level, but still with experience in some of the jobs [we will be applying for].” Pawlak is working on building a career as a professional photographer, and remarked that one of the highlights for her of the Los Angeles trip was seeing first-hand

Air Canada is News – Kingston’s airport continues to targeting the connecting flights to Canadian lose ground to cheaper and more convenient destinations and is offering up to half of the transportation options, despite ongoing efforts available seats on most departures at a lower price. “This resulted in a revised fare structure to bolster service. City officials aren’t giving up hope that that lowered the incremental airfare to fly in/ Norman Rogers Airport can grow its passenger out of Kingston to a base level of $75,” the base by embarking on a $16 million expansion report noted. One major drawback, though, is Air of its terminal and main runway. About 90 per cent of local air travellers Canada’s reliance on the smaller 18-seat are using airports other than Kingston as the Beechcraft planes on the Kingston-Toronto starting point for their journey. Local airport flights, which can’t hold as much luggage. passenger travel declined from 75,800 in “The luggage capacity of the aircraft is severely limited and is resulting in a very 2009 to 67,600 in 2014. “It is estimated that 2,000 passengers a day high number of delayed baggage deliveries are diverting to airports such as Syracuse, and inconvenience to passengers.” Air Canada says it will press its larger Ottawa and Toronto,” according to the latest 37-seat Dash-8 aircraft into Kingston to report on airport service. The status report outlines a variety of accommodate sport tourism, group travel, counter measures underway to try and woo conventions or other big draw events if it has sufficient notice, but it’s not ready to use the more airlines and passengers. This includes ongoing discussions to land larger planes on a regular basis. Airport officials admit the business case WestJet’s regional carrier, Encore, when the airline expands its short-distance flights to justify expanding the passenger terminal into eastern Canada this year. WestJet is and lengthen the main runway remains a currently studying the local demographics work in progress. “Air passenger usage – including students, seniors and business cannot be developed to generate sufficient attractiveness – before deciding to commit return to finance this project; however it is to making Kingston a regular stopover. But a requirement for economic development, there are positive factors such as the fact regional transportation and community that 95 per cent of local air travelers will fly vibrancy.” The current plan’s first phase calls for the to broader destinations served by WestJet. “Kingston has the largest population of any city to spend $9 million to lengthen the northcity in Canada not within 150 kilometres of a south runway from 5,000 to 6,000 feet in 2016/2017, and to spend a further $7 million WestJet service.” The city has also met with some success in the second phase to expand and reconfigure in convincing Air Canada, the airport’s main the passenger terminal in 2019. Mayor Bryan Paterson says he is behind the ‘build it and they will come’ argument, noting airport expansion must occur in order to attract more carriers and passengers.
