Population study suggests mild growth for Frontenac County through 2036 By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — The population of Frontenac County is expected to grow to 33,200 in 2036 from the 27,900 in 2011, a new study by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. suggests. In presenting the study to County Council’s regular meeting last week in Glenburnie, Manager of Sustainability Planning Joe Gallivan said the study was commissioned following the 2011 Census data, in much the same fashion that the County commissioned a similar study in 2010 following the 2006 Census. Along with the Census data, Watson & Associates looked at development applications, Official Plan policies, building permits and MPAC information. The 2010 study suggested a population growth of 1.1 per cent per year through 2036, however, this more recent study predicts a more modest 0.7 per cent annual population growth. Gallivan said there were two main factors in this conclusion “The results of the 2008-2009 economic downturn were more significant than previously anticipated and this was reflected in recent lower building permit activity,” Gallivan said. “For the first time in 20 years the County’s share of population growth between 2006 and 2011 declined relative to the City of Kingston. “(And) a key driver of population growth in Frontenac County (largely South Frontenac County) is job growth in Kingston (and) the City of Kingston’s 2012 growth projections now assume a lower employment growth forecast to 2036.” Another factor that showed up in the data is that
the County’s population is aging more rapidly than anticipated and it is expected that by 2036, the 75+ population segment will represent 36 per cent of the population, he said. The population of the province as a whole is aging slightly more rapidly. Coun. John Purdon pointed out that the 2011 Census data suggested that Central Frontenac Township lost people. “Are we being realistic?” Purdon said. “Watson confided with us that the Census data is not as accurate as it could be,” Gallivan said. “We used MPAC and building officials’ information that they didn’t.” South Frontenac Mayor Gary Davison agreed that the Census figures were somewhat suspect. “We’ve had 90 building permits this year and only three demolition permits that were around the high school,” Davison said. “How could we have a loss of population?” Another aspect of the study not readily apparent is where the growth will be. Coun. John Inglis pointed out that the Provincial Policy Statement directs growth to the hamlets and asked where County policies come in. “If you keep concentrating on the hamlets, you will need water and sewer,” Davison said. “It’s just not doable in these little hamlets and we have to spread the people out a bit.” Gallivan agreed. “If we’re going to direct development to the hamlets, we’re going to have to look at alternative septic systems,” he said. “We’ll have to ask ‘what are the costs’ and if the liabilities are extreme, then they aren’t viable.”

Frontenac County ponders what to do with $3 million + reserves By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — Although it has yet to be passed into bylaw, Frontenac County did manage to get a handle on what it wants to do with its considerable reserves funds, moving into committee of the whole for discussion at its regular Council meeting last week in Glenburnie. The exercise was part of the County’s long-range financial plan, which is also under review. Some of the County reserves are mandatory, such as those for land ambulance service and long-term care (i.e. Fairmount Home). But many reserves, such as those for economic development, are totally at Council’s discretion and as such are always a source of debate. Here’s a quick rundown as to what the County plans to allocate to discretionary reserves: Strategic planning goals — $2.1 million including $1.5 million to seniors projects, $500,000 to economic development and $100,000 to waste management planning

Denis Doyle. requirements — $200,000 But Davison wasn’t quite so Capital commitments under cost conciliatory on all the reserves, sharing agreements — $340,000 especially seniors housing.

County Council sets goals for 2015-2018 term of Council Reporter
Gazette News — Although it was done under the guise of committee of the whole and will still have to be formally adopted in a full Council session, Frontenac County Council essentially adopted its draft Strategic plan last week in Glenburnie. Todd MacDonald of Performance Concepts Inc, told Council that consultations with all four township councils and public meetings had been completed and it was now time to consider potential refinements to the County’s three most important goals and provide implementation direction to County staff. He said there had been “appreciation for the County’s consultation process” and “overall support for the County as an important actor promoting economic development/job creation objectives (with some dissenting voices)” at township meetings. He said there was support for seniors projects and solid waste management but also some “limited commentary on a lack of goals dealing with emergency medical services and long term care.” As to the public consultations, MacDonald called attendance “sparse” (about a half-dozen members of the public attending). “One question raised is whether there is actually a seniors transit ‘gap’ beyond the islands,” he said. After consultation, the three most important goals for the County then will be: Seniors issues, primarily addressing transportation (specifically a ride to and from medical appointments) and affordable seniors housing (specifically by leveraging and/or funding the construction of a project
in each of the four townships before the end of the 2015-18 term of Council). Solid waste ‘post-landfill’ challenges, which consist of the establishment of a position and financial plan including energy-from-waste solutions in collaboration with local municipalities. Recognizing the burden of property taxes and that there is only one ratepayer requiring responsible fiscal management, including making a priority of supporting economic development objectives for employment and revenue generation. To the third goal, Warden Bud Clayton said: “We’ve never made the decision how deep we want to get into economic development. “We’ve never said to staff, ‘here’s the money — bring back some suggestions. We’ve only said we’d like economic development.” Coun. John McDougall questioned how much seniors housing could be built, given that earlier Council had allocated only $1.5 million to the seniors reserve fund. “That’s relatively small when stretched out over four townships,” he said. Coun. Gary Davison agreed. “If the one in Central Frontenac cost a million, we wouldn’t have enough for more than one project, but that money came from government grants not municipal taxation,” Davison said. Davison also had warnings about whatever solution to waste management they might try. “Don’t think that we’re going to wave a flag and have everybody follow along like the pied piper,” he said.

South Frontenac honours its Volunteers of the Year with awards ceremony, dinner Reporter
Gazette News — As per its yearly tradition, South Frontenac Township honoured one citizen from each of its four districts as Volunteers of the Year at its regular Council meeting last week in Sydenham. Lifelong Battersea resident Roberta Smith was chosen as Storrington’s recipient of 2014. In her citation, organizer Mike Howe said: “she has been involved in most of the hamlet’s happenings, all as a volunteer, most recently at the Pumpkinfest. If anything was happening, she was there, willing to lend a hand.” For many years, Smith worked for Brown Fine Foods in Kingston, recruiting many workers from the area and on Friday nights, she volunteered to chauffeur many high school students to their part time jobs in the canteens she supervised at hockey games. She has volunteered at the Battersea United Church for many years and since her retirement has been elected to the Storrington Retirees Association executive, volunteering for the entertainment committee and the recreation committee where she arranged to have the Storrington Centre painted, the floors stripped and cleaned and signage up to date and is active in
the Canada Day celebrations at Gerald Ball Memorial Park. Portland’s Lory Dark has been a member of the volunteer staff of the Portland Community Caring organization for many years. Community Caring is a registered charity in the Princess Anne Building in Hartington that receives donations of clothing, household items, toys and books from the community, sorts and prices them and sells them for a modest amount. The funds thus raised are distributed to community organizations such as South Frontenac Community Services and the Township Firefighters Association. She was also chairperson when Community Caring became a committee of South Frontenac Council. Norm Irwin, is well known to anyone in the local sporting community. A life-long resident of South Frontenac, he is a graduate of Sydenham High School where he excelled in basketball and football. But his first love was fastball and he coached the Cyclones rep teams from 2000 to 2013. He’s won provincial championships in four different age categories and has served as president of several fastball associations. On top of all that, he’s provided countless hours of volunteer

Anticipation ran high for delivery of report cards Lifestyle - This time of year, as the last school term was coming to a close, my stomach churned from the time I put my foot in the door at the Northcote School until that fateful day when Miss Crosby handed out the report cards. I was convinced I had failed every exam, and would be right back sitting in the very same seat when school started again in September. Miss Crosby’s face gave nothing away. She treated the last day like every other day, and as if handing out those fateful report cards were an everyday occurrence. Little did she know, or if she did, she showed no sign, but every one of us wished we could just sleep away that last day of school, and the handing out of those dreaded report cards. The last day at the Northcote School was set apart by the very tenseness in the air, and every one of us, the entire school, came that morning as if we were dressed for a church picnic. We had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and everyone, even Two Mile and Three Mile Herman, who never darkened a church door, looked like we were all headed for a Sunday morning service. And it wasn’t only getting our report cards that put us all on edge. It was the responsibility of the teacher, which meant of course, every one of her 18 pupils were pressed into service, to make sure the school room had been scrubbed from top to bottom, the windows cleaned, the blackboards shining, and of course, our desks cleaned out. It would take days, because there were no caretakers or janitors back then, just the hands of the teacher and her pupils. So by the time the last day rolled around, the school was shining, most of our books had been removed from
didn’t matter really. Nothing mattered. It was too late. The report cards were already sitting on the corner of her desk. There was nothing in the world that could change a word on them! And then, as if she all the time in the world, she would walk with great deliberation over to her desk. I had only recently learned to tell the time, and I would glance up at the old CPR clock, and see the hands about to reach the magic hour. The report cards had to be handed out just minutes before we were excused from school.

our desk drawer and taken home, and the black boards were washed and ready for September. That fateful day arrived. The day when we would know if we had passed. There were the usual morning devotions, which always included long purposeful prayers to guide us through the summer. Heaven forbid that we would go off into summer without the proper spiritual send off. And Miss Crosby would finish reading us the last couple of chapters in the books she had been bringing to school every Friday. It could be something like Gulliver’s Travels, or Huckleberry Finn, and rather than leave us hanging over the summer wondering about the ending, Miss Crosby would polish off the book on that last day while we sat in morbid anticipation as we waited for the hour when we would be handed out those dreaded report cards. Just like the foolscap pads that sat on the corner of her desk on the days of the exams, the report cards were the first thing we spotting when we came into the school at nine in the morning. There they were. Just like death sentences. All in a neat pile on the left hand corner of that old oak desk. It was a challenge to sit and listen to the last of the story book, as we anticipated the handing out of the report cards. But of course, even if we didn’t, we had to look like we were absorbing every last word coming out of Miss Crosby’s mouth! There wasn’t an eye in the Northcote School that wasn’t glued to the neat little pile of white fold -over cards. And always, I silently wished I had paid more attention, and tried harder, or given more thought to the exams just past. But it was too late now. The die was cast. Of course, Miss Crosby made us suffer even more, by demanding that our feet be planted firmly on the floor, under our desks, with our hands folded on top. She would walk slowly over to the side windows and survey the entire classroom, spending many minutes looking at each one of us in turn. It

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, June 26, 2014 7
Editorial Economic development goal sounds good but at the end of the day, it’s crap Craig Bakay Reporter
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Column — One the one hand, it’s great that Frontenac County Council is making a priority of planning, both for how it takes in money and what it’s going to do with it. On the other hand, so far things haven’t amounted to much more than a few motherhood statements. For example, there seems to be general agreement that economic development is a desirable thing. Fine, would anybody disagree with economic prosperity? (Well, yeah, actually, a lot of militant environmentalists seem to but that’s another story.) But the problem with setting economic development as a goal is that you can’t just simply create businesses out of thin air. Every municipality wants new businesses. Businesses represent tax
assessment and that supposedly takes the burden off residential ratepayers. But here’s a funny thing. There are a lot more businesses and industries in Toronto than there are in Sharbot Lake. But who pays more property taxes, the guy at the corner of Yonge and Bloor or the guy at the corner of Road 38 and Elizabeth Street? Now while it’s probably true that areas with booming businesses like oil and gas manufacture enjoy the economic benefits. When there are buckets of money floating around, some of it usually gets spilled on municipal type projects. But those sorts of situations tend to be few and far between, and when they do occur, it’s almost always because of some local mineral or agricultural resource. Really folks, what kinds of businesses do you realistically expect to attract here? Proponents of things like trails seem to think it’s a build-it-and-they-willcome thing. But that only works in the movies, and only one movie at that. The fact of the matter is most days, you could shoot a cannon down most parts of the K & P and not hit a single
Kanata Kourier-Standard Letter to the editor Kanata Kourier-Standard Chronicle-Guide AArnprior open letter to Premier Wynne Dear Premier Wynne, I was not in your camp - but congratulations on confounding the know-it-alls, while convincing and assuring the majority of Ontario residents that you represent a new era of responsibility. You have a chance to go down in history as the greatest Ontario premier if you take on the challenge of correcting our two biggest and longest-term boo-boos. They are both partisan in origin, and therefore will take great courage and determination on your part to make progress
and change.
1) Ontario Hydro Arnprior Chronicle-Guide This mess is so bad, you scarcely know where to start. The clowns at the top of Hydro make Keystone West Carleton Review
Kops look studious. New, non-partisan leadership is mandatory. You need a guy like Hunter Harrison at CP Rail to come in, and, in short order, turn that baby around. The entire Hydro culture, built up over decades of incompetence at the top, must change immediately. Find an honest smart leader for Ontario Hydro and let he or she be surrounded with

soul. Sure, the snowmobilers use it but not in enough numbers to support new winter businesses. At best, they provide some cash flow for corner stores and gas stations. Better than nothing to be sure but you’re not going to base an economy on snowmobiles and hikers. The simple fact of the matter is that municipal councils don’t tend to attract people that know anything at all about business, let alone how to attract new ones. And lets face it, while we do have some good people on municipal staffs, if they were biz-whizzes, they’d be doing that, making a lot more cash than they do now. Investing tax dollars in schemes to attract businesses just doesn’t seem to work, unless of course you’re a ‘consultant’ who gets paid to whip up these schemes. We seem to be able to attract plenty of those. Historically, governments have never been very good at business. Plans such as tax reductions to get the businesses in the first place are always fatally flawed. Once the tax holiday runs out, so does the attraction for the business that came to take advantage of it.
a few like-minded, smart, accurate, fairly-paid administrators. Get rid of the baggage. And oh yes, buy some power from Quebec - it’s cheap, green, and right next door. 2) Inequitable Bargaining Address the problem, (again built up over decades of partisan behaviour), of bribing the public sector with money we don’t have. Just because it’s easy to borrow money doesn’t make it right to give it to people who, like birds in a nest, squawk loudest and crane their open mouths highest. It’s not fair, they
In Our Opinion
Of pipelines and pipedreams Gazette Editorial - Last week, the Government of Canada gave its tepid approval of the Northern Gateway Pipeline project. The announcement was made with little fanfare; not a single government minister was on hand to trumpet its benefits, and the press release didn’t even mention that it was ‘The Harper Government’ that gave the green light, as it has traditionally done when unveiling new policies and decisions. The report also drew attention to the 209 conditions and stipulations that must be adhered to before construction can begin. The message was clear enough. Enbridge, the builder of the pipeline, has its work cut out for it. Even the most optimistic experts say that settling the Native land claim challenges in court will take at least 18 months, and by that time the country will have entered a new election cycle that could see a new power installed in Ottawa. The Liberals have already stated that they would not allow the pipeline to go ahead, and polls show majority of British Columbians are behind them on this score. Small wonder that the Conservatives are treating the issue with kid gloves. At the same time last week, Germany, for the first time, produced over half of its electric needs via solar power. The success of the German program lay in encouraging its citizens to install solar panels on their rooftops as opposed to constructing large arrays. Just of over 90 per cent of German solar power is generated in this way. Also last week, Elon Musk, the South African visionary behind Space-X and Paypal, made all of the patents to Tesla’s electric motor powered cars publically available. The move isn’t purely altruistic – in fact, it’s a bit of pure old fashioned capitalist genius. It is hoped that the move will spur other automakers to innovate in their electric car designs, leading to more cars on the road, until the industry eventually supplants more traditionally powered vehicles and becomes the dominant mode of transportation. We believe these developments show the future of sustainable energy is incredibly bright, and the time of the oil sands is slowly coming to an end. As Musk has previously said “the Sun radiates more harnessable energy than the entire human race consumes in a year.� So why are we wasting our time with dirty old kinds of energy that are known to spill, causing tremendous ecological damage, and whose exhausts are known to clog up the atmosphere and contribute to climate change? A clean energy future is just within our reach, but only if we have the political will to see that these hazardous energy forms are replaced.
know it, you know it, so please stop it! This is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. We are relatively blessed beyond the dreams of our forefathers and much of the rest of the world. But we are stumbling like old people trying to catch themselves in the midst of tripping in a stairwell, (a circumstance of which I am increasingly familiar). A remarkable majority of Ontario residents have entrusted you to break their looming fall down the stairs. Solve the two things I’ve mentioned above and you
will have earned the gratitude of the province and become “The Greatest Ontario Premier - Everr!� PS: We will all snap to attention if you set an example by freezing political salaries, (including the multitude of staffers), and halting any further Ontario contributions to any indexed defined benefit pension plans. 50:50 should be the new nifty:nifty.

Live theatre – there is nothing like it. I’ve always enjoyed it and I think I actually enjoy it more than going to the movies or to concerts. Watching a story come to life on stage is always fascinating and even if you see the same play more than once it has the potential to be completely different, especially if you see it at different theatres. To indulge this love of theatre, Korey and I visit Stratford annually and try to see at least a couple of plays a year. This year we went for our anniversary and while the trip was fantastic I couldn’t help but notice that the theatres were nowhere near full. We attended productions of two Shakespearean plays and while I realize that some people aren’t interested in the Bard’s work I was still surprised. This is our sixth year visiting Stratford, but I have only recently noticed this trend. When we started going to the festival it was actually difficult to find available tickets and we had to book our seats well in advance. The theatres were always full and the audience was always extremely enthusiastic. That is certainly not the case now. We even took advantage of a two for one deal for the plays we saw, which made it even more surprising to see empty seats, and at both shows audience members around us did not return after intermission. I don’t really understand the concept of paying for a ticket and then leaving half way through, even if you
aren’t really enjoying it. Don’t you want to see how it ends? Another visible trend at both shows was the lack of younger audience members. Korey and I both felt like we were kids in a room full of adults and it was kind of bizarre. We even listened to an older man rant about Justin Bieber and his wild ways, but that is beside the point. I know that older adults generally attend theatre more than younger adults but I was still shocked to see the huge age gap between us and the rest of the audience. Theatre is such a tremendous experience and plays are so unique and interesting and I’m not even talking exclusively about Shakespeare. I’m talking about musicals, dramas, comedies, any type of play. We’ve seen multiple genres of plays over the past few years at Stratford and each year we see the theatres less and less full and it just makes me sad. Our culture is becoming increasingly more obsessed with celebrities and Hollywood productions and plays are being brushed aside. For young adults, summer is about blockbuster movies instead of theatre productions in the park. There is so much value in live theatre that is simply being ignored. I’m not really sure what the solution is. I don’t know how theatre companies and festivals can compete with Hollywood and lure audiences to their productions. What I do know is that I saw some amazing productions in Stratford and some incredibly talented actors and if people aren’t willing to take a chance and go see those productions too then they are missing out. You don’t even need to travel to Stratford. Kingston is home to many great theatres and productions too and luckily through this job I get to see many of them. Theatre is everywhere. You just need to give it a chance and you’ll be hooked, too.

Crafting true “home grown” brew just getting tougher and tougher,” says Dan MacKinnon. “My brother’s got a family and we’re trying to make a life here. With the prices of grain going up and down we Frontenac Gazette News - The roots of the thought we’d like to do some sort of value-added thing.

Their farm on the outskirts of Bath has been in the Brothers’ “8-Man Pale Ale” (so-named for Dan and family for some 230 years, and the ancestors of brothers Ben’s love of the game rugby) can now be found on Ivan and Dan MacKinnon were among the original tap at a number of local restaurants including The Brew Loyalist settlers who were each given 100 acres of land Pub, The Red House, The Merchant and the Loyalist to farm when they came to Canada to settle after the Grill in Bath. “The list seems to be growing every day,” says American Revolution.

Currently they have 28 acres of malt and barley, as well as four varieties of hops, that across North America. “It’s a bit of a gamble I guess but farming these day is have been growing for a number of years. “Right now we’re just using a little bit of wheat in the beer to give it a little more of a full body flavour that comes from our farm, but we’re hoping that this fall we can use a couple batches that are 100 per cent ingredients from our farm,” Vandenberg explains. The goal is to have 100 per cent farmgrown ingredients in all of the beer the brewery produces within the next couple of years. So what’s the secret to producing great beer? “Cleanliness,” says Dan MacKinnon. 315 Bagot St. Kingston (Corner of Bagot & Queen) “Things should be sterile.

water at the brewery, in addition to the farm-grown ingredients, contributes to the signature taste of MacKinnon Brothers’ beer. “We’re getting it from a natural well right on the property so that probably gives it a special character that no one else would have. It’s rich in calcium from the limestone.” You can try MacKinnon Brothers’ beer for yourself at any of the above-named restaurants and pubs. Later this summer, the brothers and cousin will open a bar, tasting room and retail facility at their farm and brewery,
located at 1915 County Road 22 in Bath. Cans of beer will also be available for purchase at that location. “It’s a labour of love but people seem to enjoy the beer and business seems to be growing well so we hope it keeps going that way,” notes Dan. To keep updated on happenings at the brewery and when different types of beer will be available, find MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company on Facebook or on Twitter at @MacKinnonBrew.

Tucked away just five kilometres from downtown Kingston is a new farm. Well, it’s not new land per se. Up until the 1950s it was wheat fields, but since then it has been overtaken by acres upon acres of trees and brush. “It really is a special little place,” says Charles Summers, who runs Salt of the Earth Farm in Kingston. “Because it is so close to town, and you never know there’d be an Old MacDonald kind of farm right in town.” The land belongs to Summers’ uncle. It’s a rough piece of land, covered in stone and bushes, but it’s a place that Summers believes will become a destination for people who
There’s
want to rediscover farming. “This is a big, funny, diverse property, so I want to turn it into something that really shows [how you can] grow food in this part of the world.” All of the farm work is done by draft horses. Summers learned how to use horses in farming while working in Nova Scotia. “I really love working with drafts. To me, it’s interesting and challenging, but you know, you can’t talk to a tractor.” While the horses till and plough through the farm, it’s also being turned over by livestock. Salt of the Earth has a traditional CSA available to the public. Community Supported Agriculture is where people purchase a share in the farm in advance. Customers
receive a weekly share of the seasonal produce that is grown on the farm. Summers also has an egg share from the chickens, as well as shares in meat from the pigs and cattle on the farm. Those are the same animals that Summers uses to turn over and work the soil throughout the farm. The chickens are in a mobile coop, which moves every day. The cows live in an ever expanding area in which they can graze. The pigs have their pen, which is always on the move as well. The fact that the animals are used as part of the farm makes Salt of the Earth an exciting place to explore. “Obviously

as far as making the farm work, these guys [draft horses] certainly pull their weight, but then there’s also just an aspect of landscape management. Pigs do an amazing job working over land, cattle are very good at rejuvenating grassland, and chickens just have like magic poo that just makes everything grow like crazy.” In the first year of the farm, all of the vegetables are off to a good start. Summers has been selling to restaurants, and also his CSA customers. As the season goes on, Summers

hopes more people will join their CSA, but more importantly he hopes people continue stopping by the farm to see what they’re doing. “It’s really inspiring and motivating and energizing from me to have people take an interest in this. I love talking about farming, and it keeps me jazzed in a big way. It’s really been good for my heart.” To find Salt of the Earth, you can travel down Hwy 2, past CFB Kingston for about 5 kilometres until you pass the beat up old barn (which is coming down this summer), or you can visit saltofkingston.com.

For over sixty years in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, the Quattrocchi family have been searching the local and world markets for fresh food choices. Starting in the early 1900s from the small garden in Italy where my grandfather would take the donkey and cart loaded with the morning’s pick to the market, our family has continually been involved in the fresh fruit and vegetable business. In 1949, Rose and Phil Quattrocchi started a small store at the corner of Bay and Montreal streets to serve the Kingston community. From there, they expanded to the current location at 662 Montreal Street. Through the next sixty years, Quattrocchi’s has been the shopping choice of thousands of people from Kingston and the surrounding area, both long-term residents and new immigrants to Canada alike. With the new arrivals came new requests for com-
fort foods they missed from their home countries. As more people travelled, they too wanted the foods they had tasted in their travels to faraway lands. Many local farmers would bring in farm fresh items. We also searched far and wide for international food items as requested by our customers. Our famous fruit and gift baskets were a natural progression given the wide variety and quality of the products we offered for sale. We select each item that goes into our baskets by hand, and our basket selections are continually changing as the seasons change and new taste trends appear. Our buyers are walking the floors of the wholesale markets several days a week seeking out the finest, freshest, and newest innovations in fruits and specialty items to satisfy our customers. To all of you, from all of us at Quattrocchi’s Specialty Foods - Thank you !

Frontenac Gazette Events – With hits like ‘Summer in the City’ and ‘Do You Believe in Magic’ The Lovin’ Spoonful became a wellknown American rock band in the 1960s, but the band also has ties to the Limestone City. On June 28, founding member John Sebastian returns to Kingston for a very special concert and he couldn’t be more excited to revisit the city. “A large part of my life was coming to Kingston for many years,” explained Sebastian. “After a long partnership with Zal (Yanovsky) in The Lovin’ Spoonful I started coming to Kingston recreationally because we would play together at different events and honorariums. I would come to Kingston yearly and I am really excited to come back.” Yanovsky was not only a founding member of the band but was also founder of Chez Piggy and Pan Chancho, two of Kingston’s
most famous culinary spots. Yanovsky died a number of years ago. Sebastian says he will definitely hit up both of his friend’s spots while he is town although he realizes that they will not be as enjoyable without his old partner. “I always make sure to have dinner and a pastry for Zal. I know he would appreciate that,” added Sebastian. The Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame member will be performing as part of the Skelton Park Arts Festival. Organizer Al Rankin was eager to book the famous musician when he learned he would be passing through town. He hopes that fans of The Lovin’ Spoonful will come check out the show and Sebastian’s unique approach to performing the band’s classics. “It will be a great opportunity to see him and hear the stories of where the songs came from,” said Rankin. “He was the prime songwriter in The Lovin’ Spoonful so all the songs everyone knows came from him. It is interesting to hear the stories of where the songs came from and what
inspired them.” Sebastian will also be performing some newer material but admits that he enjoys telling the stories of the old hits more and he thinks the audience enjoys it as well. “There is always some well that the songwriter has been drinking from and the audience rarely knows anything about that,” said Sebastian. “It is nice to reminisce and share those stories.” Sebastian will be joined by openers Amanda and Will from the band Wilderness of Manitoba, an up and coming Canadian band that Rankin is excited to welcome to Kingston. He encourages Kingstonians to come check out the show even if they don’t know the music or the history. “He is an American music legend and listening to his show is like learning about the history of music. It will be a real treat.” John Sebastian is performing on June 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Grand Theatre. Tickets are available at the box office or Co-founder of The Lovin’ Spoonful, John Sebastian performs at the Grand Theatre on at www.kingstongrand.ca or June 28.

Fort Henry was built on the hill top overlooking historic Kingston, Ontario, the city’s highest point of land, at the convergence of Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence and the Rideau Canal to fend off the enemy in 1812. Its design and architecture was crafted to intimidate and dominate the enemy before they hit the exposed areas below. Built on a giant slab of granite, it is surrounded by very rough terrain and natural obstacles that make assaulting the mighty Fortress a hopeless endeavor. No one dared attack… until now!

Windsor-built 1952 Meteor led to “Winnipeg” Ford two-door hardtop (Canadian version of Ford, which moved to Oakville in 1953). For George, the car was love at first sight. A previous owner had repainted the car 1960
Ford Iridescent Orchid Grey, shaved the hood and trunk lid, and installed ’55 Mercury side trim. “All this made its appearance unique and to my eyes stunning!” recalls George over 50 years later. “What a great car it was. Sharp looking, it had lots of power (thanks to the flathead V8 under the hood) and handled well on pavement, gravel, or winter ice. I think I spent as much time driving the car sideways as forward. “And on warm summer nights cruising around with the radio on and the windows all down, it never failed to pull in the Dick Biondi Show from WLS Chicago. I drove the car while I finished high school, went to college, worked, then moved R0012767955_0626

to California. And that’s when I reluctantly sold my Vicky.” But George never forgot that car. As the age of 70 approached, he checked the internet and found a ’53 Vicky in Maryland. “It had been fully restored,” says George, “it had an interesting history back to the original owner, and had been on the cover of The V8 Times magazine on a couple of occasions. I bid on it but did not meet the reserve.” The man selling it was not even sure he wanted to let it go but George kept in touch and finally persuaded the man that he would give the car a good home. The car was transported from Maryland to Fargo, North Dakota. George and his wife Nancy drove there from Winnipeg to pick it up and drive it home. Just before going
through customs, the car conked out and several customs officers had to push it across the border into Canada, where it was trailered to Winnipeg. All it needed was a new fuel pump. “On warm summer evenings, cruising around with the radio on and the windows all down, it hasn’t yet pulled in WLS in Chicago but I do now have my girl by my side and for me, that’s the most important thing.” I’m always looking for more stories.

Greg Ball returns to Bath House Studio for new album Reporter
It’s that old record recording tale. Take the band to a studio in a secluded area. Write, record, get creative, and make great music. For many bands, technology has made that experience a part of the past, but Greg Ball and his band are getting back to basics. This month, they headed down the road from Kingston to the Tragically Hip’s Bathouse Studio. It’s their second time recording in Bath. “Mr. Rightplace”, Ball’s first album playing under Paul Langlois’ label Ching Music, was also recorded at the Bathouse. “Just being able to work with Paul, I mean, I feel pretty fortunate,” said Ball. “Just to have all his experience in the industry, and all the years working on music, it’s pretty cool.” The band, along with Langlois himself, found three days where everyone could get off the grid, and record an album. With his second album with the Ching Music label, Ball and the took the opportunity to put a bit more rock into the music. “It’s definitely more rocky, and I think that came from being on tour together and just gelling as a band,” said Ball. Last year’s tour is one of the reasons the band was able to record the album in three days. While Langlois toured his solo album “Not Guilty”, Ball and company opened across the country. It was also the first time bassist Rob Gillet to played with the band, so this was his first time joining them in the studio.
“It’s been a wicked week,” said Gillet. “We had a lot of the songs to a standard before, then we came out here, and luckily Paul liked what he was hearing as well.” Joe Carscallen has been playing with Ball for about four years. “From the last record, I’d say it’s a little more rock oriented,” says Carscallen. “I think that’s us as a whole but I want to say I rocked it up a bit more this time. Also with Rob joining the band, we’ve added some rock influences.” Getting out of the city gave everyone in the band the chance to really focus on recording this album, which makes Ball excited to share it with his fans. “I’ve always played music, but, to be honest, now it feels like you’re only as good as you make yourself sound on Facebook,” says Ball. “But now, there are actually some people who really like what we do, so there’s that feeling of ‘I really can’t wait to get this into their hands and see what they think.’” For Langlois, it’s about getting Greg Ball’s music out to more people. “He’s a gifted songwriter,” said Langlois. “I think of Greg as somebody who has a lot to prove, and so I find him becoming a little more gunslinger like.” While the initial recordings are done, the band will take the recordings home to make sure they like the way they’ve come together. “We’re going to listen to it, we’ll make our spouses listen to it, then we’ll figure out if there’s things we want to fix,” said Ball “I’m aiming for Greg Ball recording vocals for his new album. the fall to get it out.”

Dragon sequel offers audience wonderful adventure Mark Haskins
My Take
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Frontenac Gazette Arts – How to Train Your Dragon 2 will break your heart, and then set your spirit soaring. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but what an incredible ride. It’s been five years since Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and Toothless made peace between the people of Berk and the dragons. Life on Berk has become a lot better, but Hiccup is still searching for something. He’s still not sure who he is, and his father, Chief Stoic (Gerard Butler), isn’t helping with talk of Hiccup becoming chief. There’s a whole world to explore and mysteries to discover. New islands and new dragons that Hiccup wants to find. One of these explorations leads Hiccup to someone he never dreamed of meeting: his mother Valka (Cate Blanchett). Valka wasn’t eaten by a dragon, she was taken by a dragon. She’s spent the last 20 years living with dragons and learning all about them. She’s also been rescuing dragons from Drago Bloodfist (Djimon Hounsou). Drago is a bloodthirsty warrior who’s been building a dragon army to conquer the world. The only ones in Drago’s way are Hiccup, Valka, Stoic and all the rest of Berk’s dragon riders. Drago is unlike any foe Hiccup and Toothless have faced. Drago’s army is unlike anything
the world has ever seen. This is their greatest test. When an animated film is this rich, this lush, this gorgeous you lose yourself in it. It’s at the point where you forget you’re watching an animated film. This is the experience of How To Train Your Dragon 2. This world, these characters and these dragons become living things right there on the screen, and even though they’re animated they become real. This isn’t a story but an adventure. Before the credits are done you’re flying across the ocean and riding the backs of dragons. This film pulls you in and connects with you in a way that all films hope to do, but few actually do. The entire cast returns for this sequel, and they’ re perfect. Gerard Butler and Craig Fergusson are two of my favourite Vikings. America Ferrera gives Astrid her fire and fight, and Jay Baruchel not only gives Hiccup his voice he gives him his soul. Along with the returning cast members are a few new voices. I can’t think of anyone better to be the voice of Hiccup’s fierce dragon loving mother than Cate Blanchett. Kit Harington is a nice addition to the cast as dragon wrangler Eret, and Djimon Hounsou is everything you could hope for in a villain who breaks dragons to his will. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is one of those rare films that isn’t so much a movie as it is an experience. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

H’art Centre works to expand inclusive arts programs in the city By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Frontenac Gazette News – Music is infectious - it brings people together and the act of playing music can be fun and liberating. But it can also be extremely intimidating, especially for people with intellectual disabilities. That is where H’art Centre and their Able Artists program comes in. “We bring in artists with disabilities or artists that have developed arts programs for people with disabilities and we run a workshop,” explained H’art Centre Founder and Executive Director Katherine Porter. “They speak to educators, health care providers, health service members and other disabled members of the community and share their work and insights.” The program works to inform members of the community and help them learn the skills needed to properly
run an inclusive arts program of their own. These programs allow people with disabilities an opportunity to improve their social literacy skills, adds Porter, and they also help improve their selfesteem. “That is really what H’art centre is all about – we want to help people with disabilities and those facing barriers create and experience the arts in a positive way and these workshops just help expand that.” On June 19, H’art Centre welcomed Dr. Jesse Stewart, a percussionist who fully supports the idea of inclusive arts, especially when it comes to music. “I feel that everyone should have an opportunity to create music and experience a musical environment and I want to make that environment inclusive and welcoming so that we can all make music together,” explained Stewart. “Many people encounter barriers when making music and sometimes disability
can be a factor. I want to work through that and allow people the opportunity to make great music and feel the power of that.” These ideas prompted Stewart to start an organization called We Are All Musicians (WAAM) and as part of that Stewart lead a workshop at H’art Centre for adults with intellectual disabilities. He showed off his musical skills and also allowed participants the opportunity to experiment with multiple percussion instruments. The group then created music together that Stewart used during the second part of the workshop. “I have been doing the same kind of work at the H’art Centre in Ottawa and the response has been fantastic,” added Stewart. “I love making music and in
particular this is very rewarding for me because I love when the people I make music with are excited about it.” The second part of the workshop showed Stewart’s work to professionals and showed them that arts can be inclusive and very effective. The goal of the workshop is to expand the pool of leaders in the area that are able to run inclusive programs. H’art Centre hopes to provide training to arts leaders in the community and hopefully expand inclusive arts programs beyond their facility. “We are taking the leadership and resetting the expectations of those who are artist educators by showing that if they really want to bring everyone in then come and learn
from the centre and learn from the professionals who know how to do it,” added Porter. Local music teachers, members of the Queen’s Faculty of Music and different musical professionals attended the workshop and Porter hopes that they will take the skills they learned and apply them to their own teaching. H’art Centre runs an Artist-in-residence program that gives future inclusive arts facilitator’s hands-on experience and Porter hopes that many of them will take advantage of that in the months to come. For more information on H’art Centre and their inclusive arts programs visit www.hartschool.ca

Take a historic Great War- themed drive through Kingston By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Frontenac Gazette News – Have you ever wondered what Kingston looked like 100 years ago? If so, Peter Gower has developed a driving tour of Kingston for you; it highlights the historical sites of the First World War (Great War), which began in 1914. Ideas for the drive started several years ago when Gower and the Heritage Committee in Kingston developed a number of tourist walks throughout the city. Then in 2012 they created an hour long War of 1812 walk to commemorate the 200th anniversary. The next logical step was to create a walk to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Great War, but they hit a bit of a snag. “The walk became too big and had to become a driving tour,” explained Gower.

it is beautiful and scenic and full of up-scale condominiums.” Gower also hopes that those who take the time to drive through the tour will also take a moment to remember those who are being commemorated on the sites. “It is a commemoration of about 550 men and women from the Kingston and Frontenac area who signed up, went away to war and

“The tour extends from the Communications Museum on the east end and out to Cataraqui cemetery in the west and it is a 36 kilometre tour so it is certainly not a walk.” After deciding to make it a driving tour, the site list continued to grow and now the tour consists of 26 different historical sites across the city. The tour has no specific starting and stopping point, which makes it easy for people to visit sites in any order they’d like, and Gower points out that some of them could be done as a walking tour. “There are about 10 sites in the downtown area that could be walked and we’ve included the distance between sites and extensive driving directions so it should be pretty easy to follow.” The hope is that the tour will give people a glimpse into how the city used to be. Gower has included old photos throughout the tour booklet for people to compare to what they see today and he hopes that people will be pleasantly surprised with what they see. “Many of the places used to be railway stations so they’ve changed a lot, but some places haven’t changed much like Fort Frontenac and Fort Henry,” added Gower. “King Street looked almost exactly the same, just take away the cars and add tram tracks and it looks very similar, but a block down on Ontario Street there has been significant change. That area used to be heavy industry and bars and a nasty area, but now

Local dance team hopes to continue wave of success in Atlantic City By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette News – When Ginger Chen made the decision to leave the dance studio she was teaching at two years ago, she didn’t expect anyone to follow her, but she quickly learned that she had impacted her students even more than she thought. “She was the best teacher we’d ever had and we didn’t want to let her go,” explained Spencer Finn, a member of the Westwoods Dance Academy that Chen formed with five of her previous students. “They wanted to continue working together and I couldn’t say no,” said Chen. “We started to rent out space in Omega Fit Club and for the past two years we’ve been practicing there for about 16 hours a week or more, training for competitions and luckily doing very well.” Doing well is a bit of an understatement, especially when you look at the long list of awards the girls have received over the past two years. Chen names off a few including a top studio award, the highest score award at four different competitions, the ultimate technique award, top senior choreography, top senior soloist, top senior duet and the list goes on. The girls perform jazz, lyrical and acro dances and some tap and Chen attributes most of their success to their drive and commitment to dance and technique. “They clearly want to win and they all come to the studio ready to work and that really shows,” said Chen. “These girls don’t just get up on stage and rely on a theme or a story or an elaborate prop to carry them through and capture the audience’s attention. They rely on their technique and that is
very strong and synchronized.” Sadly, this is the last year that the girls will work together with Chen as four of them head off to university in the fall, but that isn’t stopping them right now. The team is gearing up for a huge national competition in Atlantic City in July and while they are extremely intimidated, Chen is sure that they will perform well. “There will be close to 2,000 routines and over 100 studios at this competition so it will certainly be a challenge, but I think we can do it,” added Chen who points out that this isn’t the first time they’ve been intimidated. “We went to a really large competition in Toronto last year and as soon as we walked in they were terrified, but I told them to go out there and do their best and have fun and they danced beautifully that weekend.” The girls love performing and they attribute much of their success to Chen and the bonds they have formed as a team over that past few years. “We’ve known each other for a really long time and that makes it easier for us to move together and Ginger works with us a lot to make sure we are all in sync and that really shows,” said Isabelle Leeson who hopes to continue dancing in university. “I am thinking of joining a dance team just because I am going to miss it. I know it won’t be the same but I’m sure it will still be fun.” The girls will also reunite for a fundraiser for From left Isabelle Leeson, Genevieve Becker-Pepin, Selena Mccreery, Ginger Chen, SpenHotel Dieu in the fall, but for now they are just cer Finn and Jasmine Leeson with their numerous trophies as the Westwoods Dance focused on training for Atlantic City and enjoying Academy.

In the kitchen with Grace Atomica Pizza and Wine Bar located at 71 Brock Street, draws inspiration from the American Italian classics. For over 10 years, this trendy pizzeria has charmed visitors with delicious food, and for three of them Chef Grace has been at the oven. Awarded the 2014 Trip Advisor Excellence Award, this is a not to be missed dining experience. Atomica is one of four sister restaurants owned by Tim Pater, including: Le Chien Noir, Harper’s Burger Bar and Dianne’s Fish Bar. Grace worked with Chef Derek McGregor, of Le Chien Noir for a year, before taking over as Chef of Atomica. “I didn’t know much about local food and it’s importance until I trained with Derek,” says Grace. “In fact, I learned more from cooking alongside Derek than I ever did at culinary school.” Grace grew up in a large Lebanese family in Sydney, Cape Breton. She graduated from the Nova Scotia Culinary College in 2005 and began working at Pines Resort in Digby. After a short stint in Halifax, she moved west to Jasper, Alberta with a culinary school friend. During the four years she spent there she met her husband, Terry, and worked at the Sawridge Hotel as a pastry chef, line cook and acting sous chef. Atomica is the first restaurant where
she has the chance to operate things on her own. “In the beginning I would stop and ask myself, ‘Would Derek do this?’ Derek and Tim were really great and helpful with ideas. By the third menu, I got the hang of things.” For under $25, the Spring/Summer menu features fresh, seasonal food such as salmon arancini cakes dappled with snap pea, mint, baby kale & fresh chile salad, tarragon-lime crema, the prosciutto and melon salad, or daily favourites from the variety of pizzas, fresh pastas, and fried olives, finish up with homemade biscotti and fresh pressed Illy coffee. Try the fried stuffed olives on your next visit. They are made onsite by hand, stuffed with fresh Hanover pork fennel sausages, mixed with cheese. They’ve become a signature dish at Atomica. Although, not even the fried olives or wood fire pizza, aptly named after Chef Grace, would satisfy her these days, given her insatiable craving for her grandmother’s lebanese fatayer. You see, Grace and her husband are expecting their first baby. “As a child I remember, making “fatayer” with my grandmother and the other family members. It was one of my earliest experiences with food,” said Grace. “Everyone would be cooking together, it takes almost six hours to make - the
grand children would pat down and flatten the triangles, which would be stuffed with lamb, spinach or beef.” Family gatherings meant food, dancing and rum drinking. “Often more than 120 people would gather over the weekend to eat,” says Grace. “When my grandmother passed away, the story goes they found at least six bottles of rum in the cupboard. “I am lucky,” Grace continues. “Both my parents cook. Friday’s ‘fatayer’ night, which they cook together. I am looking forward to my parents visiting when the baby comes. I am excited to teach our child about cooking. In Grace’s absence, Chef Andy Kirby who has also trained with both Chef Grace and Chef Derek for the past three years, will be taking over. “Atomica will not miss a beat,” reassures Chef Grace. Atomica is he best place for all occasions, whether date night, girls’ night out or a dinner out with the family. For more information about Atomica visit atomica. ca, or follow them on Facebook. The restaurant is open at 11:30 a.m. daily and the menu changes with each season.

Sarah in the Square By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Gazette Review - In 1998, the band Weeping Tile performed a free concert in the KCVI auditorium over lunch hour. I was a big fan of the band and couldn’t believe my luck. “So this is what high school is like?!” I thought. As a first semester Grade 9 student, I excitedly imagined the many free lunch hour concerts that lay ahead of me. Alas, the Weeping Tile show proved to be a one-off. The only concerts that took place in the auditorium for the remainder of my high school career were by student bands – and you usually had to pay a token entry fee. But on Friday night I was at last able to relive the excitement of complimentary top-notch entertainment when a concert was given by none other than Sarah Harmer - who, of course, also has quite a successful career as a singer/songwriter in addition to being the former frontwoman of Weeping Tile. The concert took place in Market Square and kicked off this season of the City of Kingston’s Rockin’ the
Square series. Unable to line up a babysitter for the evening, my husband Steve and I decided to bring our two year old daughter, Summer. Despite the fact that the concert started at 8 p.m. – her usual bedtime, it sounded like too much fun to pass up. The whole family had a great time dancing to the tunes of Rueben de Groot, who got the show started. I’ve interviewed Rueben a couple of times and was already familiar with his music (and knew it was great) but Steve was pleasantly surprised. He noted that it sounds sort of like folk/country meets ‘90s alternative. “Exactly,” I said. “That’s the perfect way of describing it.” At around 8:45, Sarah came on, opening with the catchy hit Almost. By that time, close to 3,000 people had arrived at Market Square and were either standing up close to the stage or sitting on lawn chairs or bleachers near the back. She played a nice mix of old, familiar tunes (Uniform Grey, Basement Apartment, I Am Aglow, Pendulums) and new songs. I’m a bit of a grump when it comes to new music at concerts (I want to sing along, goddamnit!) but
Sarah is very good at writing instantly-likeable songs and I was singing along by the end of most anyway. In between songs we chatted with friends and acquaintances in the audience and listened to Sarah’s endearingly awkward banter. She told a lovely story about Dolly Parton swallowing a bug, inspired by the hundreds of midge flies fluttering around the stage. At some point, Summer fell asleep in Steve’s arms as he swayed back and forth with the music. All in all it was a very enjoyable night with a great community feel. To me, Sarah Harmer’s music is like home, and what better place to experience it than Market Square on a warm June evening?

ENCHANTÉ
He’s at the head of his glass found in water bottles. In 2008, consumer-advocate organizations published studies regarding health problems (including cancer) linked to BPA. Now many plastic companies are promoting their containers as BPA-free. But if the plastic water bottle you’re using at the moment hasn’t yet been found to cause medical problems, give it five or ten years. I predict that new studies will find new problems. Ever since taking biochemistry and organic chemistry in university, I’ve been suspicious of anything plastic, or things stored in plastic. Although companies can make outrageous claims about the health benefits of their bottled water, they often downplay the risks. Researchers have found that the bottles themselves can be the source of estrogenic activity contaminants. Chemical leaching activity increases if the plastic is exposed to high or low temperatures. So forget about leaving your plastic water bottles in warm cars or freezers. We are fortunate in Kingston to have a number of alternatives that assist in leading a healthy lifestyle. My family gets organic milk in glass bottles delivered to our door by Limestone Organic Creamery. For now, I use a stainless steel water

Hayden is hosting WeDrink promotional booths at events like the Skeleton Park Arts Festival, Waterkeeper and the Wolfe Island Music Festival. He’s working to secure a permanent retail location in the city. “I focus on two pillars: social and environmental,” he says. “There are really broad environmental benefits. Glass as a material is superior to metal and plastic. It is endlessly recyclable. Its ingredients are naturally abundant. It’s made out of something naturally occurring. And it doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into water.” He says that his social focus is to donate 10 per cent of all profits to WaterCan. The organization’s goal is to bring clean water to communities in need. Hayden’s company name, WeDrink, comes from the fact that when you buy a WeDrink bottle, someone less fortunate benefits as well.

Gazette News – Partnerships in a community are important, especially partnerships between arts and cultural organizations and businesses; however, sometimes these partnerships can be difficult to form. “A lot of times businesses donate, get their tax receipt and then they’re done, but we want more than that,” explained Claire Hefferon, National Program Manager for artsVest, a program run by Business for the Arts. The artsVest program currently runs in British Colombia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Ontario and is slowly expanding to different cities throughout the provinces. The program provides training for arts and cultural organizations through workshops that teach these organizations how to seek out sponsors and build lasting relationships with those sponsors. On June 17, multiple organizations from Kingston gathered at Memorial Hall to learn these skills and hopefully gain some sponsorship interest. “We have about 60 different organizations taking part here in Kingston and learning about sponsorship and how to approach businesses and how to develop really meaningful partnerships,” said Hefferon. “We’ve been very successful thus far. Since 2002 we’ve had 1571 businesses partner with 465 cultural organizations and 968 of those businesses were first time sponsors of the arts.” The program gives funds to organizations while also providing them with an incentive to go out and seek sponsors. ArtsVest has $85,000 to give to organizations in Kingston and each group that attended the workshop can apply for up to $5,000. On top of that, ArtsVest will match any donations that the organizations receive from businesses following the workshop. Overall, Hefferon expects artsVest to put about $190,000 into
arts and cultural organizations in the Kingston community. “Every community, in our opinion, needs a program like this to help form private and public sector arts partnerships,” added Hefferon. “There are a lot of arts organizations here and the city applied for us to come and when we looked over the application we thought it was a great fit.” The day started with an info session before moving onto a question and answer period with a panel of four local business owners and then concluded with a workshop led by a sponsorship coach. Hefferon explained that the panel really is the most important part of the workshop because it gives the organizations a firsthand look at how businesses react. “It is nice to have their perspective because we can talk about it all day but hearing it from your local community and businesses that are actually on the other end of these sponsorship proposals is priceless.” The workshop was well received by the organizations too, with groups like the Kingston Symphony, Friends of the Penitentiary Museum and the Multicultural Arts Festival in attendance. All were eager to learn about sponsorship and put their skills to work. “The day has been great so far and it really makes us think outside the box,” explained Sunita Gupta, Festival Lead for the Multicultural Arts Festival. “We do experience a lot of donor fatigue and sponsor fatigue so it is nice to know how to engage sponsors and how to keep them interested.” Hefferon, who is originally from Kingston, was happy to bring the program to the city and she hopes that the work will continue and the artsVest relationship with Kingston will continue. “The response has been really great so far here and we hope that the organizations that are here have learned a lot and they continue to use these skills for years to come.”

My big vision is a goal of a water bottle ecosystem with the WeDrink bottle as a key, partnered with stores where people can get the bottle filled for free.” You cannot at this time buy products on line, but you can contact Hayden to purchase bottles directly from him, or you can find out which local retailers are carrying WeDrink bottles.

Travel Writer Smith visits Smith Falls State Park By John M. Smith Columnist
Gazette Lifestyles - On my recent visit to northern Nebraska, I visited Smith Falls State Park, located near Valentine, and straddling the Niobrara River. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stunning cascade of water that plunges about 70 feet into the Niobrara River Valley. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest waterfall, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located within a 250-acre park thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intended to protect this biologically unique and diverse area. To reach this park, I participated in about a three-hour float trip on the Niobrara River, departing from Valentine. I was led by Doug Graham, of Graham Canoe Outfitters, <www.grahamoutfitters.com>, for he did the paddling while his guests, including me, simply sat in the rubberized raft and enjoyed the rather gentle ride and the stunning scenery. After all, there were no treacherous rapids along this section of the Niobrara National Scenic River, and the towering sandstone cliffs and spectacular canyons encountered along the route guaranteed us many wonderful photo ops. We floated through a section of the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge, which is frequented, annually, by well over 200 species of birds. Some of these are migratory or seasonal residents, while others stay year-round, including the sharp-tailed grouse and the prairie chicken. The Refuge is also home to such wildlife as deer, coyote, bobcat, bison, and elk, and ranchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cattle can also be seen grazing along the riverbanks; there are a lot more cattle than people in Nebraska. As we floated along, Doug told us about the Ogallala Aquifer, a vast reservoir of underground water thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
located just beneath the Great Plains. We learned that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually exposed in some places along the Niobrara River, so we could often see the groundwater seeping through the valley walls and into the river itself. Doug emphasized the importance of preserving this water by keeping the area as natural and chemical-free as possible. Therefore, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personally opposed to the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, for heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned about possible future contamination. Although much of this region, part of Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immense Sandhills area, consists primarily of a combination of wind-kissed grasslands, sand, and wide open spaces, we did see some
state park, offering shower facilities, washrooms, picnic sites, and primitive camping. I also found a very nice self-guided nature trail there, the Jim MacAllister Nature Trail, named after the former Games and Parks Commissioner Regional Manager who was instrumental in the acquisition and planning of this park; this trail allows the visitor to explore the diversity of the area on about a two-kilometre-long footpath. This particular portion of the Niobrara River Valley is known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;biological crossroads of the Great Plains,â&#x20AC;? where eastern and western species of plants and animals overlap, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a unique destination.

Smith Falls State Park, where we had a picnic lunch. I then decided to walk to my namesake falls, so I crossed a pedestrian bridge, walked into a small, secluded canyon via a boardwalk (there to help prevent erosion), and then on to my desired destination: Smith Falls. Stairs led me from my lookout point down to the very base of the falls so that I could then look almost straight up at the cascading water. I soon found out that Smith Falls, regrettably, was not named after this travel writer. Indeed, it was apparently named after Frederic Smith, who filed a homestead patent on this piece of land back in 1896. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now a

patches of aspen, birch, and ponderosa pine along the way. The majority of the area, however, appeared to be rather barren, more like a giant sandbox, littered with a covering of prairie grass, and the spectacular, hilly terrain witnessed along the river didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to coincide with the preconceived notion that this was the flat plains of the Midwest. We also passed by several waterfalls along our route and met several canoeists and kayakers. After all, Backpacker magazine has rated the Niobrara as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the top ten canoeing rivers in the U.S.â&#x20AC;? and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one of â&#x20AC;&#x153;National Geographicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 100 adventures.â&#x20AC;?
