Goodfellows Flowers seems to have found a perfect new home By Craig Bakay Reporter

Rimpy Kaillon is finally getting to do something she has always wanted to do — run her own flower shop at Ram’s Esso in Sharbot Lake. Photo/Craig Bakay

Gazette News — Rimpy Kaillon loves flowers, always has. So, when Michelle Greenstreet came calling one day recently, saying that she’d like to sell Goodfellow’s Flowers, the business she’d bought from original owners Ann and David Goodfellow about 10 years ago, it was a slam dunk. Kaillon and husband Ram own and operate Ram’s Esso, the gas station on the south side of Hwy 7 at the junction of the highway and Road 38 in Sharbot Lake. She’s always been known for her personable smile greeting customers, but that smile widens even further when the topic turns towards her flower business. “It (the flower business) was an impulse buy,” joked son Nishan, who also works there. “But Mom loves flowers. “She plants them and then I have to water and weed them.” But the whole family was behind the decision, including Ram, who saw the business potential. “I didn’t really give him a choice,” said Rimpy, as the two shared a laugh. “It should be very convenient for people,” said Ram. “They can order flowers online or by phone (613-279-6446) and pick them up anytime the gas station is open (6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily). “We need some time to do special orders but we are getting walk-in business as well.” In keeping with things being a family affair,

daughter Mehar created a website www. goodfellowsflowers.com and a Facebook presence facebook.com/goodfellowsflowers. Rimpy said they’ll do weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, funerals, table arrangements, special holidays, newborn congratulations, boutonnieres and corsages, in fresh flowers or silk, whatever the customer needs. She’d been dabbling with silk flower arrangements for awhile, having taken some evening courses, but when opportunity to turn her hobby into a business came about, the family insisted she take a course, which would take her to Toronto for three weeks. “They told me I had to take the course,” she said. “So there I was, in Toronto, living the student life with students from all over the world. “I was a little homesick but we (the family) Skyped every night.” And so now, she gets to do something she had thought would have to wait for retirement. But that doesn’t mean she’s stopped learning. “We want to make sure the customer gets what they want,” she said. “When you buy flowers, you’re buying something special for someone so we want to make sure it’s right and makes a good impression. “That’s why when I go to a wedding, unlike most people who are looking at the dresses, I’m looking at the flowers.” “We’re so proud of her,” said Ram.

Candidate information session set for tonight at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake Reporter

Gazette News — If you’re running for municipal council, or even just thinking about it, there’s a seminar tonight (Sept. 4) at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake, you probably should attend. Fred Dean, who was the solicitor for The City of Sudbury for 23 years and has been running workshops and training sessions on behalf of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario since 2002, will be in town to run through some of the ins and outs of getting into municipal politics. “I give a lot of talks and seminars and this is one of my favourites,” Dean said from his Toronto office last week. “I have a lot of fun.” But it is something he takes seriously, especially when it comes to family members. “I encourage candidates to bring their spouses and/or significant others,” he said. “Because running for municipal council is a family decision. “Their lives change and at every session I’ve had somebody come up to me afterwards and say ‘I’ve changed my mind, I’m not running after all.’” He said usually those people are single-

issue candidates or someone with a pecuniary interest in getting elected. “In those cases, their lives would be hell,” he said. Dean said he did “six or seven” candidates sessions for the 2010 election and has scheduled “five or six” this year. He believes the sessions are a valuable thing for potential candidates. “And at every session, I always have somebody say ‘I had no idea what I was getting into’ or ‘this is overwhelming,’” he said. He said he tries to put everything into perspective, including the business of municipal government as well as the personal things candidates will be facing. “We usually get about 50-70 people at the seminars and a surprising number of those are incumbents,” he said. “If nothing else, the incumbents get to see who they’re running against. “But there is value for incumbents as well because municipal politics is an ongoing learning experience.” The Oso Hall workshop (on Garrett Street in downtown Sharbot Lake) begins at 7 p.m. and is sponsored by the four member townships of Frontenac County. Topics specifically to be covered include:

• Municipal powers • Roles and responsibilities • The public’s role in local government • The difference between governance and administration • Municipal conflict of interest and other personal responsibilities. South Frontenac CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr

said that while pre-registration isn’t required, they’ve been handing out information on the seminars to all declared candidates and he’s optimistic the turnout will be high. “If we can get even some of the candidates informed of their role and the impact they’ll have on their community, it will be worth it,” he said.

McCullough brothers prove you can go home again By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — It’s been 22 years since Shawn McCullough last played the Parham Fair, which may be somewhat surprising considering he grew up just down the road. “I think I was 20 years old (he’s now 43) and I was playing with Dave Storms and my brother Dave (who also joined him on stage this year),” he said. “We were in front of the grandstand then. “In a way, it’s kinda sad to look out and not see uncles and oldtimers around but seeing friends’ kids is pretty cool too.” On this night, the brothers were joined by Sean Kellett on fiddle and Mark Lemieux on drums. Before the show, Shawn said they planned to play mostly older country standards and that they did, rolling through a nearly two-hour show heavy on the Merle Haggard, Buck Owens

and Johnny Cash. In particular, the rhythm section of Lemieux and Dave McCullough was rock steady in providing the foundation for Kellett and Shawn’s lead instruments. They even did Mama Tried for their Mom. Near the end of their show, as the brothers crooned through John Denver’s Back Home Again, it was evident this show was special for them. “You know, I could play for perfect strangers all night long and never feel nervous,” Shawn said. “But for friends and family, I get the knot in my stomach. “But it’s nice to come back and play what we grew up on . . . keepin’ it country.” Just before the show, Shawn looked off into the distance as if he was in a different time. “I used to hop the fence over there with my cousins to get into this fair,” he said. “I was thinking today about how it’s like time stood still.

“The town is still the same size.” Then there were reminiscences about bike rides into town when Joe & Marg had the arcade games in their store, and riding bicycles off the dock into Eagle Lake. “Coldest lake anywhere,” said Shawn. “But you got really good at hitting the high notes.” “It’s not often I get to play a gig where I can see my front door from,” said Dave. “And it’s nice to play in front of the hometown crowd. “And yes, it does bring back memories — I played here 10 years ago with Red Rose Express — but I was born seven doors down from here.” Perhaps the biggest ovation of the night was for Shawn’s song, Fight, about his father’s battle with cancer which was premiered at this year’s Relay For Life.

Williams also sells at the Memorial Centre Market and the Country Harvest Market and while farm life certainly keeps her busy, she enjoys coming to the market to meet people and take a much needed rest. “I love that I get to sit down for a while.

Gazette News – Dale Williams has always wanted to be a farmer and luckily, 10 years ago she finally had the opportunity to pursue her aspirations with the beginning of Rockledge Farm. Shortly after, Williams started selling at the Frontenac Farmers Market and she’s been there ever since. “I’ve been with the Frontenac Farmers Market for about nine years,� said Williams. “Farmers need an outlet and this is a great outlet that has been improving more and more each year. Williams grows garlic, rhubarb, tomatoes, kale, zucchini and much more, and she also raises pigs and sheep. She also makes her own artisan breads that she sells at her stand and homemade pot holders too. “The potholders make excellent gifts. I have customers who have told me that they’ve sent them to different places around the world like Australia, Scotland and Sweden,� added Williams. “I make the potholders out of patterns I

like, mostly animal patterns, and I have customers request patterns too. They really are quite popular.� Williams loves hearing about where her potholders end up and she loves sharing recipes and ideas with customers too. Sometimes she also learns tips and tricks from her, like how to properly freeze kale. “You put it in the freezer on cookie sheets so that each leaf freezes individually and then you put all the leaves in a bag and mash it up,� explained Williams. “It condenses down really well and then when you want to use it you can take out a small amount or a large amount because it doesn’t freeze in one big clump.�

Frontenac County commissioning local quilt for 150th Anniversary celebrations Reporter

Committee member Coun. Janet Gutowski said she’s a big supporter of the idea. “It fits so well not only with our history and traditions, but also with the way we’ve evolved artistically in Frontenac County,” she said. “When we first started tossing the idea around, we envisioned a giant quilting bee but then we thought that may be too unwieldy and difficult to keep consistent. “So, we also thought our artisans are under-represented and under-compensated so why not commission the work.” Gutowski also liked the idea that the quilt is a “lasting” thing and noted it’s not unusual for quilts to hang in municipal council chambers such as those on display in South Frontenac’s chamR0012869556

Gazette News — From practical bed warmers in pioneer times to contemporary artistic expressions with hundreds of examples filling a single church in Verona, quilting has long been a part of Frontenac County heritage. So it’s surprising then that the County’s 150th Anniversary Committee decided to hold a Quilt Design Contest to solicit designs for and to commission a commemorative wall hanging quilt as part of the anniversary celebrations. Entries must be submitted by Sept. 26, after which judging will take place and the winner(s) announced at the Oct. 15 County Council meeting. “The artist who submits the

winning design will be commissioned to create the quilt for unveiling during the 150th Anniversary Showcase at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith Aug. 28-30 next year,” said Allison Vandervelde, Frontenac County communications officer. “The contract with the winning artist will include compensation of $2,000.” Submissions will be evaluated based on originality and creativity, ability of the artist and the quilt’s visual appeal reflecting upon themes of past, present and future in the context the County of Frontenac’s unique pristine natural environment, lifestyle choices and strong, diverse, resilient rural communities, she said. The contest is open to all full-and part-time residents of Frontenac County.

Kingston WritersFest announces finalists in TeensWrite! high school writing contest The Kingston Heritage and Frontenac Gazette are proud to present the finalists in the Kingston WritersFest TeensWrite! high school writing contest. Kingston WritersFest has selected four finalists in its fifth annual High School Writing Contest now called TeensWrite! The contest, sponsored by Amazon.ca, asked young writers in two categories – Grades 9 and 10 and Grades 11 and 12 – to use the words shelter, veer, heart, liberate, and edgy in a 750-word story, poem, essay, or memoir. The writing competition is part of Kingston WritersFest’s youth outreach, aimed at offering students the opportunity to be inspired by some of Canada’s best writers. The four finalists, two in each category, were chosen from among the entries from the Limestone District and Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District High Schools. The four finalists’ stories will run in alphabetical order by the authors’ last names and the winners will be announced Sept. 24 onstage at the Grand Theatre as the kick-off to the International Marquee, featuring Wally Lamb.

him the ribbon from her hair and tied it around his arm. With that she left promising she would return. Many years later, a young man strode down the beach. He looked about 16 to those who could see him. On his arm a red ribbon was tied, reminding him of the pretty girl he played with that one day. Again the sky was grey and sad but did not shed a tear. He saw her running down the beach, waving as she got closer to him. She threw her arms over the young man’s shoulders and he wrapped his around her ribs, holding her as close to him as he could until he felt her heart beat fall into harmony with his own. They found themselves swaying together in each other’s arms along to the mysterious song of the ocean. Again they spent the day together, strolling along the shore holding hands, talking and dancing. Again the girl had to leave before the tide came in. She asked the boy to come with her but he had nothing to say because all he knew was that he couldn’t leave the beach. So he gave her the ribbon back and on it he strung a shell to remind her of him until she was able to return to him. So what felt like a million years passed, yet only five. A beautiful woman walked along the shore on a cold dark spring day. The clouds cried on her head but she did not care. Around her neck she wore a ribbon with a shell that hung down above her chest. When she saw him, her grey eyes burst with the blue of the sky and she ran to him again, throwing herself to his arms, clutching onto him with all her strength. She had never missed someone more than she had missed him. They let their hearts fall into beat with each other’s. They danced to the ocean’s song all day long, and for so long that they forgot the time and the tide began to rise up higher and higher. She never wanted to leave him and he never wanted her to go, so they continued their dance. They let the water get higher and higher until it reached their necks, until it rose to her chin. Her mind began to race. She had one chance, one minute to decide whether or not to stay with him forever, or leave and never return. She stared into his

The day the young boy drowned was a cold spring day. The sun hid behind the grey clouds that cried on the sand. The boy had been playing along the shore, even though his jacket had provided no shelter from the rain that dripped off his face. He had been stolen from the world of the living by the aggressive tide that beach was known for. He didn’t realize the time and when he had decided to leave, quickly running along he tripped up on the rocks and hit his head. He had drowned in his sleep. His poor soul didn’t know what had happened to him, so he spent days just wandering the shore, lost and confused about why he couldn’t leave, or why no one could see him. Until one day the little girl, who looked about his age, walked down the beach on a cold spring day where the sun hid behind the clouds, but did not shed a tear. She walked in a strange way avoiding the water at all costs it seemed. She would walk Tankless Home straight then veer off away when a large wave came near her. She was HeaTing sysTem pale and had dark black hair. In it, she wore a red ribbon that blew in With a thermal efficiency the wind from where it was tied at of up to 97%, this the back of her neck.

eyes and saw no fear as there was in hers. As she looked into them, she could see how dead they were and how lonely they seemed. The water danced at her nose. The water did not affect him at all, and it was as if he could not drown, as if he was already dead, because he already was. She remembered the papers, how his body was never found, how he was a curse to the beach, and that is why it always rained, but not when she was there. That’s how she knew he loved her. He was the one who stopped the rain for her. So she pushed her head underwater and let the water fill her lungs, as the boy watched her, saw her pain as the oxygen left her. She held tight to him, not letting him go. She would liberate the man she loved, free him from his curse of loneliness, accepting the edgy deadness in him, and she let her body fall away from her spirit. And she let her worries leave her and she smiled at the man. She loved him. He loved her and at that moment, the sun broke the clouds. And the boy too smiled. Together they dance among the waves and on the shore forever in deep love, never letting a drop Taylor Harvey of rain touch the beach again.

Editorial

In Our Opinion

Time has come for Jays to follow a time-honoured baseball tradition — fire the manager Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column — Well, summer’s winding down once again. Gets shorter every year, don’t it? One thing that set this summer apart from most others in recent memory is that for a while there, the Blue Jays had a really decent team. Or perhaps it’s more proper to say that they were winning games. Man, June was fun with Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion crankin’em outta parks all over. For a brief month, it looked like there was a chance the duo might make a run at ’61 when Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris had 54 and 61 respectively (for you non-baseball fans out there, that was the year Maris broke Babe Ruth’s single season home run record). But such a historic season was not to be this year. The injury bug bit and after the All-Star Break, the Jays gradually gave up the huge lead they’d built up. The slide has been

especially painful for us die-hards. (Have I ever mentioned I used to work for the Jays in the early days? Yeah, I probably have.) Anyways, the thing is, well, the Jays seem to have the horses. Their batting lineup 1-6 is as good as anybody else’s, they have some decent arms in the bullpen and this year, the starting pitching has been, if not spectacular, at least capable of getting deep into games. So, if it’s not the caliber of the players, what’s the problem? The problem is that their heads just don’t seem to be in the game most of the time. There are far too many errors, both the kind that show up on score sheets and the mental ones that lead to extra outs and/or opportunities not taken advantage of. But there seems to be a reluctance among Toronto sports pundits and those involved with the team to discuss what’s staring them in the face — maybe it’s time to fire the manager. Now, nobody’s saying John Gibbons sucks or anything. He seems like the kind of guy it’d be great to have a beer and watch a ball game with. But let’s face it, he’s had two

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

shots with the big-league Jays and as of this writing, his record is 445459. Gibbons has been a loyal soldier for the organization, however, so maybe something like a ‘lateral’ move might be appropriate, say, make him director of scouting or something like that. What the Blue Jays need now is somebody just won’t tolerate the little boo-boos, the way Sparky Anderson, Dick Williams or Joe Torre was. Granted, it’s tough to tell millionaires what to do, but some guys have managed it. When the Jays re-tooled last year, bringing in Jose Reyes, R. A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Melky Cabrera, they had a perfect opportunity to bring in a top-notch manager to go along with the team. They’d let John Farrell go to the Red Sox and the job was wide open. At the time, it seemed like anybody could manage the team GM Alex Anthopoulos put together and while nobody was cheering when the Gibbons appointment was announced, nobody was overly concerned either. Now’s the time for concern.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, September 4, 2014

The ice bucket effect Gazette Editorial – Over the past few weeks the internet and news media have been bombarded with videos of people dumping ice water on their heads. It is difficult to check Facebook, Twitter or even turn on a television without seeing some reference to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and even if you haven’t participated yourself you probably know someone who has. But what are the effects of the ice bucket phenomenon? Is it really achieving great things for charitable causes and changing the way that people donate to medical research? While it is clear that the challenge certainly has raised awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we have to wonder how many of the nearly 2 million donors have actually researched the cause and learned about the disease itself. To date there has been over $80 million donated to ALS because of this challenge, a huge increase from the $2.7 million that was raised for the disease at this time last year. The challenge has also undoubtedly attracted many new donors who have never donated to a charity like this before, but many are questioning whether everyone who participates is actually donating. Are they simply getting caught up in the excitement and forgetting that crucial step? Many people, in the rush to post their video challenge online, have even forgotten to mention ALS in their clip. There has also been some harsher criticism about the challenge with many pointing out the wasteful aspect of pouring perfectly clean water over your head, water that many in the world don’t have access to. This is something that Matt Damon famously pointed out in his video before pouring a bucket of toilet water over his head. Damon emphasized that even our toilet water is cleaner than the water that 2.3 billion people on earth have access to. He did the challenge for ALS but also mentioned water.org, a charity that works to improve the quality of drinking water around the world. Many other people have used the challenge to promote other issues too, with people pouring buckets of voter registration cards, or even bullets over their heads to raise awareness for voting and gun violence. Perhaps these extensions are the best take away from the ice bucket challenge. If this strategy can be implemented for other charities and more and more people donate to more and more charities then maybe it will make positive world changes. Only time will tell.

Gazette Editorial - Anyone who has ever spent their vacation travelling with a toddler knows it’s a bit of a gamble. Like most people, I have a limited amount of vacation each year, and my goal is always to squeeze as much fun and/or relaxation as possible into this time. Steve and I could have opted for a “staycation” this summer and believe me, the thought crossed our minds. It certainly would have been the safer option given the fact that we are parents of a toddler - days spent by the pool, everyone sleeping in their own beds and keeping relatively on schedule. Instead, we decided to live on the edge and put ourselves in a situation that had potential for producing a great deal of enjoyment and fond memories, but also a high probability of stress and complications related to the moods and whims of our two-year-old. Bright and early on the morning of Aug. 16, we packed Summer and nearly two weeks’ worth of clothes, diapers, etc. into the car and started the 17-hour drive to Prince Edward Island to visit my family there, see the sights and hopefully enjoy a fun vacation by the beach. I knew the drive was going to be the most challenging part of the trip, but was still cautiously optimistic. Summer is usually quite good in the car and we were armed with a DVD player and movies (thanks to my dear friend Julie), books and, at least for the drive down, a lovely young woman named Rebecca who hitched a ride to the island with us and acted like our own personal incar babysitter. Things went reasonably well and by the end of the drive everyone in the car knew all the words to all the songs in Frozen, The Jungle Book and The Little Mermaid. I picked these movies for their high quality and relative lack of annoyingness. No Toopy and Binoo DVD was coming within 10 feet of our car.

While in PEI, we stayed most of the time with my cousin Ann and her husband, George (who are regular readers of this column - hi you two!) and they could not have been better hosts. With two young grandchildren of their own, they even had two guest rooms that each contained a crib and a double bed. Being able to sleep in separate rooms was huge for me, as I find it nearly impossible to get any sleep when staying in the same room as Summer. In fact, I’d say we as a family got more quality sleep at Ann and George’s than we do on an average week at home. That may not be saying much, but it did mean everyone was well-rested and in a good mood for most of the trip. The only thing that didn’t cooperate was the weather. It poured rain for our first two days in PEI and though it was sunny for the rest of the week, the temperature hovered around 19-20 degrees, eliminating any possibility of a true beach holiday. The most disappointing part was that we were unable to go out deep sea fishing with my aunt Anna and cousin Roy, something both Steve and I had been greatly looking forward to, due to strong north winds every single day we were there. Still, we were determined to make the most of things. Summer was happy and thus the potential for an amazing vacation was staring us in the face - all we had to do was reach out and grab it, so we did. We biked from Morell to St. Peters in on-again-off-again pouring rain. We went blueberry picking. We bundled up in sweatshirts to watch a beautiful sunset on the beach. We ate some fantastic meals in Charlottetown, which has a great restaurant scene. We rode around in my cousin’s tractor, “helping” him harvest some hay - I think this was Summer’s favourite part of the trip. In the end, our gamble paid off big time. Even the drive back went well. Now not only do I know all the words to all the songs in Frozen, The Jungle Book and The Little Mermaid, but I can also recite the entire scripts - a small price to pay for some amazing memories.

Center for Studies in Aging and Health photo contest hopes to show the joy of aging mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – Few people enjoy having their photo taken, but most will make an exception if their photo is taken while they are doing something they love. This is exactly what the Center for Studies in Aging and Health is looking for with their new photo contest. “We’re trying to promote really healthy aging so we are looking for photos of seniors being active and doing what they love to do,” explained Julia Miller. “We want photos of them socializing and doing things that help us thrive instead of just survive.” The idea for the contest originated when the center, which is part of Providence Care, began planning their third annual conference. As they spoke about what they wanted to include in terms of educational material, they realized that there was a severe lack of photographs to go along with it. “We usually have to pay for photos and that can get quite costly,” explained Gail Hawley Knowles, Manager of the Center for Studies in Aging and Health. “The photos we purchase often look quite staged too. Our physician leader, Dr. John Puxty, had done a contest like this in the past when he was working somewhere else and it was very successful so we decided to give

it a shot.” The center teamed up with Camera Kingston and they are hoping that they get quite a few entries between now and Sept. 25. They also hope to get entries from across the region, showcasing many different activities and people. “We want to really capture the essence of living well,” added Miller. “We cover Brockville to Bellevile and north of Kingston as well and we want photos of seniors farming or fishing or doing different activities, not just activities in the city itself.” After the deadline, submissions will be evaluated and depending on the number of submissions they will be narrowed down and then shown at an open house event prior to the annual conference this year. “On Oct. 23, we invite everyone to come out and meet researchers in the field and look at the photos,” adds Knowles. “We really want to tie the two together and work on educating and promoting. We will also have ballots for people to vote for their favourite photos and we will hand out awards in the weeks following the conference.” Selected photos will also be on display at Camera Kingston and will eventually be used in promotional and educational materials for the center. Miller hopes that they receive many submissions and she encourages

Wellesley Island State Park or

all the dos and don’t rules Miss Crosby insisted on. I had to remember to stand at my desk, feet firmly planted on the floor, to answer any question asked by the teacher. It was considered very disrespectful to stay in your seat. And there was no slumping over your workbook. You sat up straight as a die. No passing notes or whispering allowed. And never, absolutely never, leave your desk without permission. When the inspector came to the door...without rapping usually, just brazenly walking in, immediately get out of your desk, and stand at attention until told to sit down. (The inspector was someone to be feared...even Miss Crosby held him in awe...the inspector was right up there with a member of the local police force). You had to be prepared for desk-drawer inspection without notice. So you books better be in perfect order...the scribblers on the very bottom, and the reader and spelling book on top. And no chewing on your art gum. That order was especially for Cecil who was known to de-

Lifestyle - This would be my second year at the Northcote School. I had passed out of Primer Book, much to my delight, and my brother Emerson’s complete surprise, who told me on more than one occasion that I would be in the lowest grade for at least three years! I loved school, and I loved Miss Crosby, even though I held her in great awe. She never played favourites, and often her patience was tried to the limit with both Cecil and Emerson in the same

class. But she ruled with an iron arm, and her word was the law at the Northcote School, let me tell you! I could hardly wait to get to school on that first day back in September. We five children had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and we had on our nextto-Sunday- best clothes...those that we wore into Renfrew, or to the Saturday night house parties. Not our very best, but a step up from what we would wear after that very first day back to school. Writing was still beyond me, but I was able to print, and days before we were to go back to school, I had printed out all the rules I had learned the year before. I had sat at the kitchen table, and with the help of my sister Audrey, I refreshed in my mind,

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, September 4, 2014

molish his art gum before the first week of school was over! And don’t even think of going to the pail of drinking water on the bench at the back door without asking permission! You asked permission for anything you needed or wanted to know by raising your right hand. Never your left, which apparently meant an entirely different thing. That was a challenge for Cora who was naturally left handed, but she soon got onto raising her right hand when Miss Crosby ignored her otherwise. And the second Miss Crosby appeared on the stoop outside the school, and rang the big brass hand-bell, you lined up like soldiers. The smallest at the front of the line, and the biggest at the back. It had nothing to do with what grade you were in. It had everything to do with how big you were...so I was always the first in line, and even though he was not even in Senior Fourth, my brother Emerson, as big as any man on the Northcote Side Road, was always the last in the line. And of course you never went into the school after being ‘rung in’ and immediately sat down... you stood perfectly still until Miss Crosby came back in, went up to her desk, and nodded permission! There seemed to be no embarrassment in asking to go out to the privy. But there were even rules for asking permission back then for something as basic as having to use the outhouse. If it was to be a fast trip, you raised one finger on your left hand...this was when the left hand was put to use...and two fingers on the left hand meant you expected to out there for a bit longer. Of course, the entire Northcote School knew what you were asking permission for! And once the deed was done, you quickly washed your hands in the basin at the back door, dried them on the huck towel on the

roller, and took your seat, and got right down to work. Miss Crosby was high on ritual, and so every morning we stood solemnly at our desks, with our right hand, palm opened over our heart, and paid homage to the King, repeated the Lord’s Prayer, and then sat, ramrod straight with our eyes glued to the teacher, as she read a verse from the bible. And it was on that first day of school that each of us was assigned chores. These could include sweeping the floor, emptying the waste paper basket at the end of the day, wiping off the blackboards, changing the drinking and washing-up water, and making sure the pencil sharpener had been emptied every night. This schedule was tacked to the wall at the back of the schoolroom, and it was considered a great privilege to be asked to do chores for the teacher. My head would be spinning by the time I tried to remember all what I could and could not do at the Northcote School. To forget meant a sour look from Miss Crosby, a finger wagging from my sister Audrey, and of course, a reprimand from Mother when I got home from school. That seemed to be the order of command back then. By the time the first week of school had passed, all the rules would have been established, and the school would be running like a well-oiled wheel. It would be many years later that I would finally realize what Miss Crosby meant when she said in her opening remarks, as she stood at the big oak desk at the front of the room at the start of every school year. “Remember going to school is not a right, it is a privilege.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Kingston’s first ever parade of costumed pooches in support of Gilda’s Club hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

from performers Brielle Leblanc, the Saxobelles, Perpetual Emotion (Quartet) and Rock Bottom. Revelle is looking forward to seeing what kinds of costumes people come up with for their pooches: “I just find that when people are put to their imagination, they just come up with some really fun and funky things and that’s what I’m looking for, something that’s a little unique and a little different and fun.” Gilda Radner, for whom the clubs are named, was an original cast member on Saturday Night Live who passed away from ovarian cancer in 1989. She dreamed of starting support communities for those living with cancer and now Gilda’s Clubs that provide programming aimed at the specific needs of members are found throughout North America.

new event that will raise money to open the doors of Gilda’s Club of Southeastern Ontario, a support Gazette Events - If there’s one community for those undergoing thing the late Gilda Radner knew cancer treatment and their famihow to do, it was how to bring lies. People are encouraged to dress smiles to the faces of others. Fittingly, there are sure to be their dogs up in funny and cremany smiles downtown Kings- ative costumes and parade them ton on Sunday, Sept. 14 for the down Ontario Street from the EmGilda’s Dog Day Parade, a brand pire Life parking lot at Ontario and William Streets to Confederation Park. “This is brand new,” explains Barb Revelle, executive director of Gilda’s Club Southeastern Ontario. “I don’t think [a dog costume parade] has ever been done in Kingston before.” The top prize will be awarded to the most comedic looking dog, and the hope is that the winner will come back and lead next year’s parade and so forth, as Revelle intends it to become an annual event. There will be other contests for best trick, the dog who looks most like his or her owner and best dog costume. Further prizes will be awarded to the dog with the curliest tail, shaggiest coat, longest tongue and more. There will also be a booth where Funny, costumed dogs are coming people can get pictures taken with to the streets of Kingston. their dogs, face painting and other Photo/Submitted activities for kids, 20 different pet related vendors and live music By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

Revelle expects to open the doors to the new clinic here in Kingston by the end of the year. “It’s really hard to find someone who hasn’t been touched by cancer,” she notes. “With over 100,000 visits [a year] to the cancer clinic here in Kingston, this is a wonderful complement to the medical care.” Already, people affected by cancer have come in to tour the yet-to-be-opened clubhouse, located at 55 Rideau St., and inquire about programming.

“We’re not open yet and I’m getting some every day. It’s definitely a place that needs to be here in our community and we can help a lot of people. We just need to get the doors open.” A minimum pledge of $50 per dog is required to walk in the parade. Dogs must be registered by Friday, Sept. 12. The parade will begin at noon on Sept. 14. For more information and for the dog day parade registration form, visit www.gildasclubsoutheasternontario.org.

Enchanté

She’s the beating heart of WritersFest By Mark Bergin Columnist

Enchanté - A quiet presence masks the creative force beneath the surface of Barbara Bell, Artistic Director of Kingston WritersFest. Bell is in charge of one of Canada’s literary success stories. In 2009, she started on a volunteer basis with the popular festival for readers and writers. She’s now serving as full-time Artistic Director. Born in Winnipeg, Bell lived there until she was 10, when her family moved to Mississauga. That came as a shock. After spending 10 summers on farms, in barns, fields and outdoors, gone were the endless night skies with stars twinkling. But what she got in return were trees everywhere. “And a creek near the house,” she says. “It was a time when kids could wander for hours.” During high school she spent time with close friends

and explored creative endeavors. She played flute in the band and became co-editor of the yearbook when she was in Grade 13. She also indulged her love of theatre. “I had a group of close friends; there were six of us, including my sister, who was 18 months older,” says Bell. “We’d hang out. I did drama all through high school.” She attended Queen’s University for a degree in English literature and art history. After getting married in 1982, she moved back to the Kingston and has remained in the region. She spent 23 of those years in Sydenham. “It was a good place to raise kids,” she says. When her children were little, she returned to school and completed a Master of Theology Degree. Several years ago, she moved from Sydenham back into the city. Her love of the literary has been a life-long passion. “I’ve always been into creation,” she says. “As a child,

I loved doing art. I’ve been writing from a very young age. My sister and I would write plays and perform them. I’ve always been an internal and quiet person. Reading is a big part of my life. So was imaginative play as a child. We’d always be running around outside being spies or cowboys or animals. We’d play in some big elaborate world we’d create in our minds.” She also took dance and piano lessons as a child. “Dad always said I had a great memory and was an observer,” says Bell. “I’d sit in a room of adults listening, taking everything in.” Books, explains Bell, are part of what makes us human. “I think that a fundamental way that we understand ourselves as a people is by reading what others have articulated about who we are. Writers help interpret the world for us and to understand where we fit in. We use the arts to help

us inform our own worldview and stretch it. It’s more than just about learning. There’s some kind of organic process that happens as we read. We’re changed as we read the words.” In addition to her organizational skills and beneath her quiet exterior, there’s an actor pushing the bounds, calling to get out and express herself. Bell had left her involvement with theatre when her children were young. After her daughter Leigh Ann enrolled in theatre camps with Theatre Five when she was about 12 years old, she told Bell that there weren’t enough adults for the roles and asked her if she’d come in to help with a script reading for Sense and Sensibility. “That was it,” said Bell. “In five minutes I’d landed a part. That was around 1999 and I ended up doing 20 plays over the next several years.” Continued on page 21

Her many stage roles have included Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire, the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet, Miss Prism in The Importance of Being Earnest, Clairee in Steel Magnolias, Beatrice Page in J.M. Barrie’s Rosalind, and Gertrude in Hamlet. In 2006, she won the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s Award for Best Actress in a leading role for her performance in Dacia Maraini’s Mary Stuart. She first became involved in WritersFest as a volunteer. It wasn’t long before her organizational skills were put to use. “Because I had a production background with theatre I took on a planning role with the festival. When I started, there were 29 events.� She was offered a three-month contract to help with the initial preparations and then to serve on site at the festival. “It was a great mesh for me. The timing was right, and year by year the contract got longer.� She had also worked for several years as Events Coordinator for Chapters Bookstore and co-produced and hosted TVCogeco’s book club, Pageturners. Each was a demanding role. “There was a whole confluence of things,� she said. “Something had to give.�

She left most things behind, except WritersFest “By last year I was full-time,� she said. “This year I’m the Artistic Director. I’m hoping to get back to acting after this first year in the director’s role. Acting is my passion.� She’s also maintained her involvement with her daughter’s filmmaking “After Leigh Ann finished film school in Vancouver, she came back to Kingston and wants to develop her film career here.� Mother and daughter have co-produced four films. “That’s my creative outlet at the moment.� She says that Kingston WritersFest is an event that’s not to be missed. This year’s festival features 57 events stretching over four days and five nights. “Our lineup is phenomenal this year,� she said. “We’ve got this mix of national, international and local authors, all of whom are great writers. Some of them are very well known and some you may have never heard of. There’s an opportunity to experience new voices. For example, we’ve got bestseller Wally Lamb, and we’ve also got five first-time authors. There’s also a food event and a beer event. These should be really interesting. People can enjoy dinner and listen to an author at the same time.�

Maintenance free brake system has not been invented yet avoid replacing the rotors, pads, and sometime caliper units at much higher costs, not to mention improved safety. Even the best auto service counter consultants sometimes omit this advice, so I’ll add it here. If you’re picking your vehicle up from the shop after having the brake linings (pads/shoes) and rotors or drums replaced, drive carefully on the way home. This is especially important for drum/shoe brakes. After brake pads or shoes are replaced it can take a few kilometers and more than a few brake applications to ‘seat’ the new linings in. Even on the best designed auto, nothing’s perfect. The guides that the pads ride on don’t apply those linings so that the force is evenly distributed across the face of the pads. And rear drum brake shoes don’t make a perfect circle, so those linings aren’t evenly applied either. Therefore during the first several brake applications the pads and shoe lining materials will wear in a very unique pattern to match the surface of the discs and/ or drums. If you jam the brakes on hard or complete a panic stop, you can heat up the linings so that they won’t ‘wear in’ correctly. This can lead to noises and vibrations. So if you want to get the best brak-

ing performance out of the money you’ve spent, take it easy if safe to do so, for the first couple of drives. There is still plenty of chrome to see in the area this weekend so don’t miss out. On Sunday Sept. 7, the Bandit Motorsports Car Show rolls into Plantagenet from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the Denny’s Charity Show ‘n’ Shine is on in South Keys, Ottawa from 4 p.m. until dusk.

Brakes, no matter how far the vehicle is driven or what type it is, should be inspected annually. Most service centres (whether dealership, independent, or national chains) offer almost continual specials on engine oil change services combined with a series of inspections which always include the brakes. Photo/ Submitted photo R0012832897

Lifestyle - Braking systems on vehicles may seem very much like a leave-em-until-they’re-broken type of thing leaving little a vehicle owner has to do themselves. After all everything else on the car has a warning system, so brakes should let us know when they need attention, right? Well, as with most things automotive, it’s not quite that simple. While advances in brake system design and engineering have brought some great improvements to this vital safety system, no one yet has invented a maintenancefree brake, so from time to time a little attention is needed. Most vehicles today have disc brakes on the front and rear, but drum brakes are still a popular feature on the rear wheels of many cars and light trucks. Disc brakes have exposed metal tracks that guide the pads or linings towards the brake disc or rotor when the pedal is applied and away from the rotor when the brakes are released. Thanks the proliferation of open spoke

wheel rim designs, these calipers are exposed to all the road salt, grit, water, and anything else our highways and weather can throw at them. If these ‘guide tracks’ get rusted and dirty (and you just know they will) the brake pads can ‘stick’ on the rotor after the pedal is released leading to premature wear and sometimes overheated rotors. In some extreme cases these sticking events can lead to a completely locked up wheel or a severe pull to one side or the other when the brakes are applied. Brakes, no matter how far the vehicle is driven or what type it is, should be inspected annually. Most service centres (whether dealership, independent, or national chains) offer almost continual specials on engine oil change services combined with a series of inspections which always include the brakes. If the guides do require attention, they usually require disassembly, polishing with a grit wheel, and lubrication with a good heat-proof product. Prices for this type of service vary widely depending on the type of vehicle and labour rates, but for most mainstream ‘domestic’ products you can expect a range of $100-$130 per set (front or rear). Having this done when needed can

Dancing beyond words By Mark Bergin Columnist

Daytripper - In preparation for the reopening of the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, an arts/movement project called Shebang is bringing more than just dancers together. It’s creating an artistic collaboration at the community level. In January 2015, the grand opening of the new Tett will feature a public presentation that will have been almost two years in the making. Shebang, a multi-arts show, involves community artists and all of the tenants of the new arts centre, rebuilt from the ground up — actually, from the basement up — from the old Tett building. Melissa Mahady Wilton, Dance Engagement Coordinator for the City of Kingston, explained that, as part of the welcoming presentation, the public will have an opportunity to participate in creative activities to feel fully a part of the Tett. Two weeks ago, a room full of adults from the Kingston area joined together in a process of expression at the Baby Grand The-

atre. The workshop, led by choreographer Andrea Nann, was one of many sessions over several months that helped bring the community into the world of the future Tett. “Even though the initial improvisations are built with a basis of movement, as the artists work intensively and develop relationships, the improvisations expand to include all aspects of creative practice: instrumental music, voice, visual arts, theatre, and so on,” said Mahady Wilton. “While the roots are in movement, the process is one of guided discovery. Because we all have bodies and perceptual systems, Andrea begins with us relaxing and becoming grounded in our bodies, and then sharpens our awareness of ourselves, our environment, and each other. This helps to break down barriers to creativity and encourage surprising and deeply creative collaboration.” Last week, the process continued, this time with resident artist members of the Tett Centre. During the mornings, members of the Dance Company from the Kingston School of Dance (KSD) gathered at the Grand Theatre with choreographers Andrea Nann and Kay Kenney to work on a movement piece that will be unveiled during celebrations in 2015. Nann also ran workshops over the past two weeks with Kingston Potters’ Guild and the Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners. Unlike the open community workshop, which involved several people who had not known each other previously, some of the KSD Company of Dancers have worked together for years. It didn’t take long for them to move like a unit at the same time as maintaining each of their own sense of individuality. Shebang was initiated to serve as a catalyst to artistic collaboration that would occur long before the new Tett actually opens. “Since our greatest aspiration for the Tett is that it will become this deep cultural hub for community engagement,” said Mahady Wilton. “Brian McCurdy, the former Cultural Director had seen Andrea [Nann] at a workshop. We knew this could be the piece we needed to start the collaboration happening before the Tett building is even finished. It’s been like ripples on a pond since the start of the process.”

In March 2013, Ontario Dances funding was awarded for the project to the City of Kingston. Subsequent funding in 2014 has also been awarded by the Canada Council and Trillium Foundation. The first artist working session for Shebang took place in May 2013. It has developed into a major arts project that will culminate with the opening celebrations of the Tett Centre. “There is the hope that this process can be taken from Kingston into other communities,” said Mahady Wilton.

Phase I introductory artist intensive and community open studios/workshops took place in June 2013. At that time, all the artists from Tett groups got acquainted with one another. During the fall and winter of 2013/14, intermittent workshops were held with core artists. May 2014 featured Phase II artist intensive and community open studios/workshops. Continued on page 30

RED Dancing beyond wordsHOT Andrea Nann, who facilitates the Shebang process, is a Torontobased contemporary dance artist, choreographer, dance educator and artistic director of Dreamwalker Dance Company. She is currently a Resident Artist at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto. “To me, Shebang is a holistic process,” said Nann. “It is very much about bringing diverse people together and sharing strategies that allow us to find a communal way to approach this [project]. In a way, the number of ideas that can erupt is really overwhelming. That’s part of what we try to manage. It’s like editing. From a stream of consciousness or a gathering of ideas, we move to a distilling process. We create a movement piece and decide what not to put in. In the beginning, there is some improv and it can be very chaotic. There is a need to explore. First, we find our voices and natural ways of moving. It’s quite clear that we are trapped in a whole bunch of rules about who

we are, how we think, what we speak and create.” Shebang member Dorothy Young of the Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners, one of the resident artist groups of the Tett, said the process is new to many artists. “This is so new to some of us, those of us who aren’t dancers or involved with movement,” she said. “Until we figure it out, it’s overwhelming but not suffocating. As we do this there is no judgment. When you don’t have to deal with judgment, it is freeing.” Over the past couple of weeks, Shebang featured Phase III artist intensive and community open studios/workshop, with many sessions taking place at the Grand Theatre. The artistic creation of the presentation is developing in its final form. “This room (the Baby Grand) is a sheltered workshop,” said Young. “It’s a safe space with safe people. We feel the shelter to do it.” “The process is about creating a place where people don’t feel

vulnerable,” said Mahady Wilton. creation of a group movement There was a sense of exhilaration “When you bring people in and form of artistic expression. and exuberance amidst wild tribal have them feel safe, what a priviI knew I had more opportuni- throbbing, laughter, primal happilege to watch the quality of move- ties for photos when I would be ness, screams, and pure feeling in ment that develops.
