Johnston Point condo development on hold until after municipal election By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — South Frontenac Council took the unprecedented step of authorizing a second public meeting to be held before making any rezoning decisions that would allow a proposed 14-unit condominium complex on Johnston Point on Loughborough Lake to proceed. At the public meeting portion of last week’s regular Council meeting in the Sydenham Council Chambers, a standing-room-only crowd expressed its concerns prompting Council to hold off on a rezoning decision until the questions raised could be answered. Planner/Dep. Clerk Lindsay Mills said he couldn’t remember a second public meeting ever being held on a single development. Coun. Al McPhail spoke adamantly on the need to revisit the project before voting on rezoning. “If we have to make a decision right now, my vote is going to be ‘no,’” McPhail said. “And that’s not fair to the developer.” After a ‘straw vote’ poll initiated by Mayor Gary Davison, it was clear the rest of Council was with McPhail. In fact only the Mayor opposed putting off the decision until the next Council (after the election Oct. 27). “I don’t think it’s fair to leave it to the next CounGazette Events – Incomparable percussionist/multi-instrumentalist/crowd provocateur Lois Webster laid down a bare bones beat as Fiddlers & Friends rocked Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake last cil to deal with something we’ve been dealing with week as a fundraiser for the Parham Anglican Church.

ing members (Coun. Pat Barr, acclaimed, Coun. John McDougall and Bill Robinson, if elected and either McPhail or Dep. Mayor Ron Vandewal, both of whom are running for Mayor.) A question of a road allowance closure on the subject property was also set over. “I don’t see why we would address the road closure when the rest of it is in limbo,” said Vandewal. No fewer than seven residents (all potential neighbours of the proposed development) got up to speak, all with prepared statements, raising a number of questions about the development. Many of the concerns focused on the wetlands prevalent in and around the development lands, with several speakers pointing out that it’s likely any or all residents of the new homes would want to access the lake but for many of the lots, direct access would be through marshy wetlands. “Quite a few of the lots have only swamp in front of them and you’re going to want to get to the water and that means putting in some sort of dock or at least putting your canoe down there,” said Matt Rennie. “We’re creating ‘waterfront’ lots which are not ‘waterfront’ in any meaningful sense of the word,” said Mike Koen. Mike Keene, planner for the developer, said he could prepare responses to the concerns raised at the meeting and only took offense at Rennie’s contention that this project represented “dense” development. Rennie apologized saying it wasn’t his intent to offend anyone.

VARIOUS VENUES PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Sydenham water dominates debate at Loughborough all-candidates meeting Gazette News — Water was first and foremost on the minds of Loughborough District voters at the allcandidates meeting last week in the Sydenham Legion. And while protection for the many lakes in South Frontenac was a concern, it was dwarfed by the hyperbole and vitriol in evidence during several questions surrounding the Sydenham Water System. One audience member even suggested rather than having the word ‘Sydenham’ painted on the blank water tower, they township should go with “Phil’s Folly,” in reference to former Mayor Phil Leonard, who was in office when the controversial project was approved. Mayoralty candidate Al McPhail even mentioned it in his opening remarks, stating his opposition to what he termed a “penalty” on those Sydenham residents who’ve opted not to hook in to the system. Further on in the discussion, he did note that “the water is safe” but that “the costs are increasing.” Mayoralty candidate John McEwen made a point of saying he wasn’t on Council when the system was approved and promised some relief on the price increases if elected. He said it could become a huge asset for the area if about 200 more users could be signed up. “I’d like to see the rest of the Township kick in until the numbers go up,” he said. Mayoralty candidate Ron Vandewal acknowledged that he was on Council when the decision was made but said his decision to support the system was largely based on a letter from Ian Gemmill, head of the Health Unit that said “if you don’t do something, you’re liable.” Vandewal also pointed out that twothirds of the cost for installing the system were borne by the Province adding “you can’t drink sewage.” He also speculated that “I don’t know if you’d have the new library, the school expansion or the Sydenham seniors residences if we didn’t have the water system. “And your insurance rates went

down because of it.” The candidates for councilor expressed a variety of views.

added to the infrastructure the Township has. “I don’t know what to say,” said

There’s

Terry Thake. “The water is here to stay (but) like a wound, it festers. “You’ve got to bandage it up and get over it.” “I think the penalty should be dropped,” said Stephen Bach. “It sounds unfair but I don’t know much about it,” said Dave Plumpton. “People have to be willing to engage the613.546.3607 community in every decision,” said Ross Sutherland. “I keep reading about Walkerton and what we’ve done here is create a potential for another Walkerton . . . and I don’t agree with the penalty.” “This has to be dealt with and no amount of taxation is going to fix it,” said Fran Willes. “You wouldn’t want to hear some of the suggestions I’ve heard about what we should do with it.”

South Frontenac passes amendment to reduce speed limits on several Township roads Reporter

Gazette News — South Frontenac Council amended its traffic bylaw to reduce speeds on several Township

roads at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. In a recorded vote, only Mayor Gary Davison and Coun. Del Stowe voted against the measure. All roads that do not have posted speed

limits carry a speed limit of 80 kph. A section of Perth Road from just north of the Clear Lake Road intersection north for 2,400 metres is reduced to 70 kph. Reduced to 60 kph are sections of Clark Road, McConnell Road, Davidson

Reduced to 50 kph are sections of Fawn Brook Drive, Deer Creek Drive and Whitetail Court. “We looked at possibly making 60 kph the default limit on all roads but got a legal opinion that then all roads would have to be signed and that would be costly,â€? said Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth. “We think we’ve cleaned up pretty much all of the requests but there still might be one or two we’ve overlooked.â€? “My question is will putting up a sign make any difference?â€? said Davison. “Maybe our roads are just too good,â€? quipped Dep. Mayor Ron Vandewal, who then added “50 kph on the entire length of Railton Road is ludicrous. “Nobody will do it.â€? ••• Council approved the request of Coun. John McDougall to give its support to the museum project spearheaded by the Portland & District Historical Society. “There were 12 issues conditional to support and we think we’ve dealt with all of them,â€? McDougall said. McDougall said the question of access will be dealt with via a grant application but Council’s approval is necessary before

Hillside CafĂŠ owner denied compensation for lost business during road work Reporter

Gazette News — A request by Hillside CafĂŠ owner Gail Dickenson for compensation for the loss of business she said her business has suffered during the reconstruction of Rutledge Road in Sydenham was denied at the regular meeting of South Frontenac Council last week in Sydenham. Dickenson had first appeared before Council Sept. 2 where she presented sales receipts for 2013 and 2014 along with property tax details to support her claim for $12,246.40 which includes a portion of her property taxes and $10,000 in lost revenue. There was very little discussion by Council, which seemed content to rely on a report from CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr that recommended the Township not compensate Dickenson. “The report said this would set a precedent and be costly, well it was to me,â€? said Dickenson. “The construction is the sole cause for our decline in business and I find the report insulting to suggest otherwise.â€? The vote was 7-1 not to compensate with Coun. Bill Robinson the lone vote against the measure. Orr’s report did not dispute any of Dickenson’s figures and included the fact that she had written support from 80 of her customers. The report did claim that a municipality “may not assist directly or indirectly any commercial enterprising through the granting of bonuses for that purpose.

“It further speaks to the methods by which a municipality cannot grant assistance.� But, The Ontario Municipal Act does say that under the heading of “Cancellation, reduction, refund of taxes, Section 357. (1) Upon application to the treasurer of a local municipality made in accordance with this section, the local municipality may cancel, reduce or refund all or part of taxes levied on land in the year in respect of which the application is made if, . . . (g) repairs or renovations to the land prevented the normal use of the land for a period of three months during the year.� The report would appear to acknowledge 357.(1) (g) when it says: “. . . as confirmed by our legal counsel, if compensating for business losses was framed in the way of a release from any and all claims, there is a strong argument that this would not be in contradiction of the Act.� Whether they can or cannot notwithstanding, Orr’s report nevertheless recommended strongly against compensation. “It is the opinion of staff and confirmed by our legal counsel that granting compensation to businesses as a result of the inevitable disruption that comes with infrastructure renewal is both precedent setting and potentially very costly,� the report said. “Council should consider how this decision would apply to other businesses impacted by the construction, how it will be applied during all future construction projects and if it applies to past projects.�

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

What artistic contributions did the baby boomers make to history? Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Editorial — You know, all art was contemporary. What that means is that regardless of what we think now, every great piece of art, music, drama, dance, literature or architecture was the standard of the day and it wasn’t always accepted. For every Beethoven’s Fifth, there was a Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Even the Mona Lisa wasn’t considered a great masterpiece in its own time, given that the Catholic Church held such influence over what was considered great art during the Renaissance. But time has a way of sorting things out such that while individual tastes may vary, we can now safely conclude that the Mona Lisa, is, indeed, a great masterpiece. (Hell, my cat is even named after it.) So, given that we baby boomers are getting up there in age, and unlikely to produce much more lasting greatness, what did our generation produce that future historians will look back on with reverence? The argument can be made that

there was little contribution to the visual record made in the time when baby boomers took over. Andy Warhol may or may not be held in high esteem centuries from now and it’s probably a good bet that not much will be remembered about the ‘happenings’ and ‘found art’ pieces of the ’60s. However, there is one area where the boomers did excel — popular music. Before the post-war period, great music was essentially the purview of larger orchestral offerings. From philharmonic to chamber quintets, what was thought of as “good� music was essentially a snob thing, with anything played by common folk merely relegated to the realms of ‘quaint’ at best. But one thing changed all that. The advent of recording and (affordable) playback technology brought music into the homes of regular folks. And the folks voted strenuously with their wallets. Yes, you could buy an album of the New York Philharmonic playing Beethoven, but Beethoven was rolled over significantly by the likes of Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and The Beatles. Still, history can be mercurial and as much as some of us like Johnny B. Goode, chances are it won’t be included in many of the

music history books. So what will? I’m so glad you asked. Bob Dylan will be. Specifically, Mr. Tambourine Man, All Along the Watchtower, The Times They Are A-Changin’ . . . Blowin’ in the Wind, A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, and Just Like a Rolling Stone. The Beatles will be remembered too, specifically, A Day in the Life, Nowhere Man, She Loves You and (hack, hack, cough, puke) Yesterday. You heard it here first folks. ••• A buddy of mine, Doug Lovegrove, is researching the 146th Battalion for a First World War project. The unit was formed in the Frontenacs and shipped overseas in September of 1916. They were also known as the Frontenac Regiment but when they got to England, apparently they were absorbed by either the 95th Battalion, the 12th Reserve Battalion or the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles. So, he’s hoping somebody out there in Frontenac County might have a photo, memorial plaque or any information that could help his research. If you know anything about the 146th, send Doug an email at the146Battalion@gmail.com.

8 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, October 16, 2014

It’s in us to give, so why don’t we? Gazette Editorial – We’ve all heard the Canadian blood services slogan on the radio or on television and even though we all know that blood donation is something that is needed and is relatively easy, so many of us ignore the call for donations year after year. Canadian Blood Services recently put out a call for blood donors stating that their current supply is ‘critically low’. Because of fewer donors over the past few months, the supply is at its lowest supply since 2008. While all types are required, types A and O are being specifically called for. Typically, the blood agency likes to have a five to eight-day supply on hold, but they are currently down to just three days. So why don’t people donate? There are many excuses from the typical ‘I don’t like needles’ to ‘they don’t need me, other people will do it’. Many people also worry about how it will make them feel or think that they are simply too busy to take the time. These responses may have been okay in the past, but now medical procedures are at risk of being delayed if more Canadians don’t step up and donate. Approximately every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. According to a recent poll, 52 per cent of Canadians say they or a family member have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment at some point, making donations even more important. Cancer patients usually require at least five units of blood during surgery and so do those undergoing cardiovascular surgery. People with internal bleeding may require up to eight units of blood and those who have been in a car accident could require more than 50 units. These numbers seem big when you think about donating just one unit, but if we all do it we can make a big impact. On average it takes about an hour to donate one unit of blood and that unit could help save a life. The process is simple and could be done on a lunch hour. Now there is even an app to make it easier. To book an appointment, download the GiveBlood app, visit blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888236-6283).

While we did wait for an extended period of time in the ER that day, doctors moved quite quickly to diagnose Korey and get him into surgery. In fact, he went into emergency surgery at two in the morning and all of the doctors proceeded like that was perfectly normal. When he awoke and moved to recovery, the care he received was extremely attentive and professional and every person we encountered was extremely friendly and helpful. Korey and I remarked on the service throughout the whole process and even pondered what it would be like if we weren’t in Canada. Would we still be waiting in the ER until the hospital had confirmed our insurance coverage? Would they be performing as many tests to figure out what was wrong? Would

Gazette Editoria; – I must admit that I never really think about health care very much. When I was younger and got sick my parents took me to the doctor, we got a prescription and filled it and that was that. The same is true today, but now I have a much deeper appreciation of what we have, especially when it comes to health care services and specifically hospital care. Two and a half years ago my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. She went into the hospital because she was having dizzy spells and feeling short of breath. Doctors quickly did a number of tests and found a nodule on her lung. I remember being really scared at the time, but the one thing that kept me sane was the speed at which the doctors were moving to diagnose the growth. In a matter of weeks my mother had over a dozen tests and a biopsy

and they were able to determine that the growth was cancerous. Just a few weeks after that she was in surgery to have it removed and then in recovery. I was so grateful for the care she received and the urgency that came with all of the procedures. Now, almost three years later, my mom is in remission and receives check ups every six months to ensure that everything is still good. The appointments still make me a bit nervous but I have full confidence in the healthcare professionals that take care of her each time. A few weeks ago, I experienced another situation that made me very respectful and grateful for the quality of healthcare we have. My husband started experiencing abdominal cramps over the weekend and by Sunday evening he had a fever. He thought that maybe he just pulled a muscle and asked me to drop him at the Queen’s medical centre on Monday morning before work. I assumed it would just be something random, but after receiving a call from him an hour later I learned it was much more serious. The Queen’s doctor had felt around a bit in his abdomen and then immediately sent him to KGH

Community Foundation checks KFL&A’s ‘vital signs’ By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – Less than 20 per cent of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (KFL&A) residents are highly engaged in our community. This shocking statistic, among many others, was presented at part of the sixth annual Vital Signs report on Oct. 7 at the Residence Inn. Community members, local municipal candidates and interested groups gathered to hear the results of the report and learn where we as a community can make improvements to our overall wellbeing. “Last year the Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW) conducted a subjective survey of residents and we used the results to report on Vital Signs,” explained Michael Bell, vice president of the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area (CFKA) and Vital Signs project leader. “Our conclusion – as a community we are satisfied but there is work to do.” The CIW invited 11,000 individuals in the KFL&A community to fill out a questionnaire about their well-being and about 15 per cent of those invited responded to the survey. The survey showed that community members with a higher level of civic engagement have a higher quality of life and feel more connected to their community. The term “highly engaged” refers to an individual who participated in three or more surveyed activities in the past

12 months. An individual who is “somewhat engaged” has participated in one or two surveyed activities over the past 12 months and the survey found that almost 40 per cent of KFL&A residents were not engaged at all in their community, meaning no participation in any activities over the past year. “Those individuals in the community who are highly engaged are participating in unions, service clubs or volunteering,” explained keynote speaker Dr. Bryan Smale, director of the Canadian Index of Wellbeing at the University of Waterloo. “We also looked at this participation in relation to democratic engagement and the relationship was very apparent.” Almost 65 per cent of eligible voters did not vote in the last municipal election. The survey showed that the level of satisfaction in the democratic engagement domain was lower than any other domain of wellbeing in the survey. “The level of interest in KFL&A municipal politics ranges from 13 per cent among the not engaged to 43.5 per cent among the highly engaged respondents,” added Smale. “We are suggesting that the best way to become more involved and engaged in the community is to get out and vote on Oct. 27.” Voter turnout has decreased across the country over the years, but the CIW and the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area (CFKA) see voting and in engaging in ‘Acts of Community’ as the simplest

way to start improving community wellbeing and engagement overall. “The report provides a list of 50 suggested things that people can do to become more engaged in their community,” pointed out CFKA’s executive director, Tina Bailey. “These range from simple day-to-

to doing a few more.” The survey also focused on areas like youth engagement, physical activity, immigrant employment, child poverty, violent crimes and a variety of other topics. The full report is available at www.cfka.org.

Gazette News –Denis Doyle certainly wears a lot of hats. In addition to being mayor of Frontenac Islands, Doyle is warden of Frontenac County, a member of county council and part of multiple development groups in the region - and he’d like to continue doing it all. “The decision to run again was an easy one for me,” said Doyle. “There are so many projects that I want to see through and many more that I want to get going.” Doyle started his work with the Frontenac Islands community eight years ago when he ran for council. He quickly learned that he wanted to become more involved, prompting him to run for the position of mayor four years later. During that four-year term, Doyle has learned about the needs of the community and he is passionate about making Frontenac Islands better in many areas. “The main project that I want to see through is the transportation system and ferry system for all of the islands,” explained Doyle. “We have ferries going to Howe, Wolfe and Simcoe and all of them have their

challenges. It is the kind of thing we need to keep working on and as our population grows so does the need for better services on the ferry.” Last year the ferries struggled with ice and the long winter and this year Doyle hopes some of those kinks have been worked out. He also hopes to continue expanding facilities on the islands themselves so that fewer people have to leave for medical appointments, child care and recreational activities. “We have put in trails on Howe Island and an arena on Wolfe Island and some of those projects get support and some don’t, but unless we do these things we don’t have much of a community over here. We need things on the island that people can do locally rather than using the ferry to get off the island.” Doyle is also interested in keeping seniors in the area and is part of a development committee that is working on providing seniors’ housing units throughout the County of Frontenac. “We really want to keep the seniors in the community for as long as we can and we want to provide housing to enable that,” explained Doyle. “We are working on a development on Wolfe Island and once we

Animal Matters hopes to educate and promote discussions about holistic and complementary animal care By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – Most of us interact with animals on a daily basis and in some cases we even consider them members of our family. This is certainly the case for Hélène Lawler and Christine Noble Seller, passionate animal lovers who have turned their love for animals into careers, and now into an animal focused community group called Animal Matters. “Hélène is part of a group in Kingston called Health Pursuits and they do holistic medicine for humans. One day I randomly suggested that we should start a similar group for animals,” explained Noble Seller. “I was laughing and joking but she was totally on board and we talked about it more and we came up with this concept.” The concept is a monthly peer-topeer group that meets and discusses animals and different natural, holistic and complementary treatments for them. They invite speakers from different businesses or animal educators in Kingston to come speak about animal treatments and therapies and then lead a discussion.

“We are not giving medical advice or telling people what to do, we are just sharing information,” added Lawlor, a freelance writer and independent academic who lives on a farmstead north of Kingston. “People don’t necessarily know where to start with all of the options so we really want to educate them and help them learn more. I believe in a lot of preventative health care for my animals and I have learned a lot over the years and I’d love to share that knowledge.” Noble Seller is an animal communicator who believes that animals are healers, messengers and teachers; she has translated this philosophy into an independent business. She also teaches others about animal communication and performs reiki treatments for animals. “There is a lot of information out there for humans about chiropractic, nutritional and herbal treatments and people don’t necessarily realize that the same options exist for animals,” added Noble Seller. “People who are doing it for themselves are often thinking about doing it for their animals, but they don’t necessarily know where to start.” Animal Matters held its first meet-

The group has some other speakers lined up for October and November and they are always looking for more interested participants. “We really want to have a variety of guest speakers and topics and discussions too,” said Noble Seller. “It is an educational group for like-minded people and we want to promote a space for people to come together.” The group hopes to attract more and more attendees as time progresses and Noble Seller would even like to see their model extend to other cities. But for now, they are just happy to be promoting something that they are both passionate about. “We are also educating ourselves on different topics too,” added Lawler. “We still have a lot to learn and this is a great way for us to do Hélène Lawler (left) and Christine Noble Seller with a number of Lawler’s animals on her farmstead north of Kingston. that too.” Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

New program takes kids out of the classroom and into the Kingston arts community mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – Field trips are a highlight for most elementary school students. They present a chance to get out of school and explore new things. Now, a new program in Kingston is expanding that idea and taking kids ‘beyond the classroom’ for an entire week. The program is called Beyond Classrooms and the basic idea is to move teachers and their classrooms into community museums, art galleries and other community sites for a full school week. The program recently launched in Kingston and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre was happy to be one of the first community participants. “I had heard about the program from fellow museum educators in other cities and I thought it was a great program and a great way for students to have an in depth experience with current collections and exhibitions in a museum,” said Patricia Sulllivan, public programs manager for the Agnes. “I let the organizers know that I would be interested in being a site and

I was very happy when three teachers purposed to bring their classes to the Agnes this year.” The first group made the Agnes their home from Oct. 6-10. Grade 5,6 and 7 students from Holy Name Catholic School had the unique opportunity to explore photo galleries, learn about the history of Agnes Etherington and apply what they learned to different projects. “We can bring kind of a special experience and curriculum to what the teacher already has going,” explained Sullivan. “We make use of the experts on staff to speak to the kids and we very much have a partnership with the teacher. They have certain goals that they want to achieve during the week and we work to enhance that.” During their week at the Agnes, students toured the Etherington House and learned about the famous founder, explored an African mask exhibit and toured a photographic exhibit of Kingston Penitentiary. Tours occurred in the morning and then teachers led interactive activities with the students in the afternoon. “The good thing about a week like this is that the teacher is there while

the Agnes expert is doing the talk. The kids journal about what they have learned right away, then they go back to the studio and share their reflections and then the teacher follows up with a further discussion based on what just took place. I think it is very enriching,” said Sullivan. Students also seemed to enjoy the process, with many of them remarking that it didn’t feel like school and they loved learning about the pieces of art and interacting with them. The program will continue in a few weeks with another school and a third in the spring and Sullivan looks forward to seeing how those go as well. She also hopes that more schools take interest and apply for the program in the future. “I think that a program like this shows the adaptability of an art gallery. You don’t have to come here and just learn about art. Of course art is what we are showing and we are certainly teaching children about art, but it can also be a vehicle for learning about other subjects too. They can learn about social studies and local history and art can be used to teach so many different subjects.”

Students from Holy Name Catholic School went beyond the classroom and spent a week learning at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

Tone Deaf festival hopes to expose Kingstonians to new genres and musical experiences By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Events – If you are looking for a unique musical festival then look no further – the Tone Deaf Festival in Kingston is celebrating its 13th year this fall and according to organizer Daniel Darch, their unique line-up is sure to have a little something for ev-

eryone. “The festival started out as a noise music festival, but it has gradually evolved into just being broadly about adventurous performers,” explained Darch who joined the organizing committee three years ago after enjoying the festival for many years. “It includes sound art, installation art and music that is adventurous and avant-garde.

is really unique and interesting and I wanted to be part of that.” The festival aims to promote different genres of music and artists by bringing them to Kingston and hopefully exposing them to new audiences. Most of the acts that are part of the four-day festival are relatively unknown and probably wouldn’t stop in Kingston during a tour. “We bring in bands that maybe don’t tour that often or are somewhat obscure and we try to bring in bands from different cities that have things in common,” added Darch. “We try to create relationships between artists from different cities too.” The festival is funded by the Kingston Arts Council and over the years they have occasionally received funds from the Ontario Arts Council as well, allowing them to grow the festival and expand it. This year the festival takes place from Oct. 23-26 at Modern Fuel Art Gallery and the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. Each night has a theme and presents a few different artists that complement each other in terms of style and technique. “We have a synth-pop night, an electro-acoustic night, an ambient

night and the last night is a bit hard to explain. It is a bit hypnotic and really interesting. I would highly recommend that people come check it out,” added Darch. The shows will also be accompanied by a display at Modern Fuel of retrospective poster art from the festival’s 13-year history; it will run until Oct. 29. Darch hopes that people will enjoy the installation and he also looks forward to seeing performers in the new Isabel theatre. “The second night we are there, Oct. 25, we will be hosting the ambient themed night in the rehearsal area overlooking Lake Ontario and that

should be pretty cool.” All of the artists featured over the course of the festival are Canadian and most are from Ontario. Darch hopes that more people come check out the festival and learn about the new and interesting genres of music that are out there. “We are trying to expose people to new things. We really hope they find something they like and that they seek out more of the same and come back to the festival too.” For more information about the performers and the schedule for the 13th annual Tone Deaf Festival visit www. tone-deaf.org.

Toronto-based performers Ice Cream will perform on opening night at the Tone Deaf Festival on Oct. 23 at Modern Fuel Gallery.

Throughout the Q&A that followed, candidates responses were consistent with their opening concerns: The 1st question came from Tom Wroe: How to protect the village from a slow death if the proposed new ferry can only operate from the winter dock due to depth of hull. A common thread included a bus service running to the village, perhaps private enterprise and township supported (Bromley); two ferry’s during summer (Doyle); tourist info centre in Kingston promoting

A question re why no school board reps were present, Identified that both schools have low enrolment. Many island children attend specialized programs in Kingston. The general consensus of the majority of the candidates suggested merging schools and local specialized program development. There was some unsureness about rights jn this situation. Further questions revolved around the ferry.. the “what if’s� when it is taken out of service for refit, its move to winter dock, village survival, community services.

Magic Moments at Musiiki CafĂŠ Columnist

Gazette Lifestyle – The saxophone and piano filter through the air, and the guy at the bar is taking requests for the kind of jazz I want to listen to. It’s a Tuesday lunch-time vibe at the Musiikki CafÊ. This is place that, even at noon, inspires you to curl up with a single malt. In the end, however, I settle for a dark roast coffee and a cookie. The Musiikki CafÊ is more than a cafÊ; it is a setting for serendipitous moments, fresh and intrusive. It’s where creative stimulation exists and (as their coffee mugs read) it’s good for you. The cafÊ has carved out a creative spot where you can enjoy live music, whisky and coffee. Speaking of good for you, the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, while my lunch choice, aren’t the only option available; you can also enjoy quick sandwiches, wraps or a muffin with your coffee. Owner Kris Clendining and I met earlier this month, after I stumbled on the little spot cut into the limestone at 73 Brock Street, beside Atomica Gourmet Pizza and Wine Bar.

a perfect location. I told him he was crazy to have done this just after opening. He laughed. “It was a huge learning curve, with over 500 people through the doors weeks after opening—we learned a lot. It was great until it started to rain. Something shut off in the middle of the concert. It was a panic, but the musicians were great about it. We threw out some candles, and the musicians played in the dark.â€? A magic moment. Evenings are a popular time at Musiikki. Live music kicks off at 8 p.m. and runs until 11 p.m. Kris is trying to program music seven days a week, but at this stage it’s Tuesday through Saturday. The CafĂŠ takes on a different vibe depending on what music is playing, and that could be anything: folk, blues, jazz. “We want to keep it as diverse as possible; it needs to fit our atmosphere. Although, I won’t be surprised if we start adding a DJ at some point, too,â€? said Kris. “But, it will depend on the needs of our customers and what feels right. It’s all about the music.â€? Musiikki also

The Musiikki CafĂŠ arose from a long passion Kris had for music and a venue to bring that to life. The location needed a lot of repairs. Thankfully, Kris is an experienced carpenter, and several friends helped support his new venture. “A huge thanks goes to the people that helped, especially my friend Geoff, who was our electrician and a great help in the renovation process,â€? said Kris. “It was a lot of work restoring the building and we still have more to do, but if it wasn’t for good friends we’d never have gotten done what we did in five months. “We’ve been changing things and doing things differently since opening. I wanted this to be a place for good live music,â€? he added. “It attracts the artist and the musical community, for sure. It’s where our heads are at with what we are doing here. But, we get all ages—anyone from students to customers up into there 80s and everyone in between.â€? “It’s where the magical little moments happen,â€? noted a staff member. Soon after opening, for instance, Musiikki was a venue for Downtown Kingston’s Bluesfest. Kris notes that the huge outdoor garden stage made it

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, October 16, 2014 17

Fall always created special smells for young Mary Gazette Lifestyle – My older and much wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head. I had discussed it with her at length one Saturday while we were doing our weekly chores. That morning we were upstairs changing beds, dusting the floor

with the rag mop, and wiping the windowsills with a damp cloth. It was a time I cherished because it meant I had my sister all to myself, even if she was in a hurry to get finished so that she could visit with her best friend Iva on the next farm. And so I asked her again. “Audrey, why does fall smell different than other times of the year?” That’s when she told me it was all in my head. I certainly didn’t want to argue with my sister. After all, she was much older than I was, and as far as I was concerned was just about the smartest girl

in all of Renfrew County! So I decided I would not mention it again. I would just go on believing in my heart that fall smelled differently from any other time of the year. All I had to do was stand at the back door, put my head outside and breathe deeply. The big maple tree had shed all its leaves, and I could smell them. No one could convince me that there was no smell from them…it was a mixture of damp ground and dried leaves. I would fill my nostrils with the scent, and marvel, and I would wonder if I was the only one who noticed there was a difference

between the smells of summer and fall. The frost would come and I knew the smell outside would change again. I knew without a doubt that the smoke from the cook stove was different once the colder weather came. At no other time of the year did I notice the wonderful smell of burning logs as I watched the smoke curl above the roof of the house. And I would wonder why. When I went into the barns at night, they certainly didn’t smell like they did in the heat of the summer. The cows gave off a warmth and it filled the barn, and the aroma of the hay from the loft wafted down. Even the straw in each stall had what I called a cold weather smell. When I mentioned this to my sister Audrey, she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me…all in my head, she said. The inside of our house smelled different too. The windows were shut tight, and trapped inside were the smells of gum rubbers, propped against the woodbox beside the Findlay Oval, and the musty smell of winter coats hanging at the back door. And I could smell wool. Everywhere there was wool…in the hats and mitts at the ready for the winter in a basket under the bake table, there was wool. Certainly, these things were nowhere to be seen in the summer! So how could my sister Audrey say it was all in my head? I would wonder why she too didn’t notice the smell of fall.

By the time we were well into October, Mother would have put out the braided rugs that had spent the summer rolled up in layers of the Renfrew Mercury and kept under our beds. They too had the smell of fall on them. There would be the faint aroma of wool and from the papers, and they would add to that special tinge to my nose that told me the season had changed…the smells of summer were gone, and the smells of fall were around me. By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters. They had been packed away in a trunk over the hot weather, with hands full of mothballs scattered between the layers. It mattered not how long Mother hung each piece out on the clothesline, she was never able to completely get rid of the smell of the mothballs. They too had the smell of fall. So, it mattered not how much my older and wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head. I knew without a doubt, this time of year there was a special smell all around me. It came in gusts outside, and hung inside our old log house, and stayed in my nostrils, bringing me a special feeling of warmth and contentment. At that young age, I decided it was my favourite time of the year. There was no doubt about it. Fall had come at last…hadn’t my nose told me so?

“Made by nature, assisted by man� By: Rob Mooy Correspondent

Gazette Events - There are treasures right beneath our feet. Next time you go for a walk, stop, glance down, what you find might just be the foundation of an incredible piece of jewelry. A show and sale featuring these riches from the earth should attract hundreds of rock and mineral enthusiasts to Gem Storm, a gem and mineral show, hosted by the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 18-19 at the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. Organizers say this year’s offering should prove to be one of the best gem and mineral shows ever. In addition to thousands of colourful rocks, minerals and fossils, many club members and exhibitors

will be showing and selling unique jewelry pieces. “We will have over 34 dealers from Ontario and Quebec, some of whom are local talented club members,� explains Eileen Moss, club vice-president. “This year Gem Storm has all of your favourite vendors back. The show features unique and beautiful creations made by nature and assisted by man. It’s a great once-a-year opportunity to buy those Christmas or special occasion gifts. Look to buy crystals, minerals, hand crafted jewelry, faceted stones, beads, carvings, stone creations and much more.� “The popular children’s mine stocked with lots of great specimens ready for collecting by young rock hounds will also be back,� adds Moss, whose love of the craft, she eagerly shares with anyone in-

terested, began decades ago. It all started for Moss and her husband Les in 1984 during a vacation to western Canada. “We stopped at the amethyst mine near Thunder Bay and found this beautiful purple mineral and that started it,� explains Moss. “We discovered there was a club near the mine and visited with them for a bit, and that was it. We were hooked on these wonderful treasures coming from the Earth.� The couple have been enjoying the hobby for over 29 years. “We went to our first show when it was at the Tett building,� says Moss. “The shop was open and Cliff Walker was demonstrating the art and skill of lapidary. We were instantly Volunteer instructor Grace Tran, helps her son Nhat, 13, with his silver smithing at the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club workshop.

“Made by nature, assisted by man� groups at the centre to provide increased opportunities for public awareness and increased avenues for our members to become more involved in a variety of new activities which will be created. We have really enjoyed our time at the former St John Ambulance building, but it was only a temporary home.� The club numbers some 200 adult and family memberships, aging from one year to 85 years. It is very family oriented with lots to do for all age groups. Their junior program, for ages 8-12, encourages youngsters to learn about rocks, minerals and crystals in a hands-on approach. Family oriented field trips are held from May through October to collect minerals and crystals from a variety of locales. “At our shop we offer a number of courses including lapidary (the art of cutting and shaping stones) and silver smithing. All tools and equipment are provided and is open to all ages 11 years and older. As we are a non profit club we offer a wide variety of courses at a very modest price. Our instructors are club members and valued volunteers.� Grace Tran is one such member. She is fairly new to the world of lapidary, but in just a few short years has become proficient enough to teach a class in silver smithing. “I’ve always wanted to be a blacksmith, and thought silver smithing would be cool,� says Tran. “I was at one of the

It’s obvious they have a love for the hobby. “It’s all about the joy of creation,� says Moss. “I get satisfaction from taking a rough rock and turning it into a fabulous piece of jewelry, all the while learning about the wonders of the earth. Lapidary work is very soothing and relaxing.� The club promotes and encourages the growth of all phases of lapidary work, mineral and fossil collecting. It had its modest beginning more than half a decade ago in a home basement in 1962. It was in February of that year that two dozen rock and mineral enthusiasts gathered for the fist time with the hopes of starting up a club. The group bounced around to several locations over the years before settling on the Tett Centre in 1976 Since those early days, membership has grown and they have called the J.K. Tett Centre home for close to 30 years. But that all changed in 2009. With the rejuvenation of the Tett Centre, the club moved into their temporary location in the former town hall and St. Johns building in Portsmouth. This winter they will be moving ‘home’ to the renovated Tett Centre. “We are really looking forward to this move, as our shop was designed by us, for us,� says Moss. “Everything we need will be in one spot which is a huge plus. We will be working closely with the other

city showcases, and started chatting with Eileen. She signed me up right there and then, and that was three years ago.� She’s created lots and lots of jewelry. “What’s even better, my son gets to hang out with his mom,� Tran laughs, as her son rolls his eyes. Tran’s son Nhat, 13, is one of her students. “I got involved, because my mom kept bringing these cool pieces of rock and jewelry home. They were interesting and I wanted to make something as a Christmas gift. I thought it would be a fun hobby to get into.� One of his first creations was a ring for his sister.

ENCHANTÉ

By Mark Bergin Columnist

Gazette Lifestyle – To hear Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s voice is like receiving a spiritual massage. For those who prefer the aesthetic of simplicity, he’s known as Iz, or Bruddah Iz. A Native Hawai’ian, Israel Kamakawiwo’ole was a giant of a man—in body, mind and spirit. A gentle soul with kind eyes and a mesmerizing voice, he died far too young. If you don’t recall his name, you would certainly recognize his music. Iz stood out as a master of Hawai’ian, jazz and reggae music. Iz’s last name may be long, and the Hawai’ian language appears complex, but the pronunciation is very simple. Every letter and syllable is pronounced, and “w” is pronounced as “v”. It’s Iz’s landmark Over the Rainbow that you’ve probably heard most often. It originally appeared as a medley with A Wonderful World on his 1990 album, Ka ʻAnoʻi. It was released as a full song on the 1993 album Facing Future. Since its initial release in Hawai’i, it’s been used in a multitude of movie and TV soundtracks. A few

of the many include Meet Joe Black, Finding Forrester, 50 First Dates, Fred Claus, ER, Scrubs, Glee, and Storm Chasers. The song is also becoming part of a New Year’s tradition. During New Year’s Eve celebrations in 2011/12, and again in 2012/13 and 2013/14, Iz’s Over the Rainbow was played in Times Square. Not only did Iz make such a classic as Over the Rainbow into a masterpiece of his own, he could take the simplest of songs and turn them into complex beauties. For example, his weaving of the traditional Hawai’ian Ali Wela with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star turns the childhood ditty into a deep and soothing song that is infused with the ocean waves and deep turquoise hues of the Pacific waters of his island homeland. I used to spend a lot of time working in Hawai’i. Even in the most blatant of the tourist areas of Waikiki and Honolulu, a spiritual intensity permeates the sand, the sea, the people, the flora and fauna. It’s truly another world. Time moves slower. It’s easier to take deep breaths from the moment you step off the plane into the open air terminal. It’s a land where corporate

executives are more likely to wear the colorful Hawai’ian Aloha short-sleeve shirt than a jacket and tie. As you get away from Honolulu and into isolated areas of the North Shore or onto other islands, what we consider normal time and space no longer appear relevant. The first time I heard Brudda Iz in Hawai’i, the scent of the ocean and leis surrounded me. I was relaxed. Still, his voice stopped me in my tracks. I can describe it as nothing less than a spiritual awakening. I didn’t know that any human voice could sound so beautiful. The man behind the sound was a gentle giant, singing and playing a tiny ukulele. The small four-stringed instrument sounded like a multi-stringed harp in Iz’s hands. I’ve been told by Hawai’ian friends that when Iz was a teenager and sang in public, he could bring an entire room to silence and a standstill. Hearing him for the first time was a profound life moment. I felt electric chills throughout my body. I bowed my head and gave thanks for the creation of such a beautiful man. Continued on page 31

Home improvement projects perfect for fall Home improvement projects can add value to a home and do-ityourselfers know the sweat-equity that goes into such projects can give homeowners a greater sense of pride in their homes. But no two home improvement projects are the same, and homeowners should know that certain projects are best tackled during certain times of the year. Fall is a great season to work on your house, as the weather is often at its most agreeable once the summer heat has gone and before winter weather arrives. The following are a handful of fall-friendly home improvement projects for homeowners looking to improve their homes.

Roof repair

Whether you’re repairing or replacing the roof, fall is a great time of year to dust off the ladder and get some work done on your roof for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, fall is ideal for roof work because you won’t have to be up on the roof with the summer heat bearing down on you. This can make the project move along more quickly, which is especially beneficial if you are paying laborers to work on the roof. The fewer hours workers are fixing your roof, the less you will be paying in labor costs. In addition, fixing up the roof in the fall ensures those winter storms,

be it rain or snow, won’t find their way into your home via leaks. A leaky roof in winter is hard to fix, as the roof surface could be treacherous in the winter and winter winds can make it dangerous to be up on the roof at all. Addressing leaks in the fall can prevent damage to your home’s interior, which can mount up if a leaky roof is not addressed until the following spring. Window work

When the weather outside gets frightful, poorly insulated windows can allow cold air into the home. That often has a trickle-down effect on finances, forcing you to turn up the thermostat in an attempt to offset the cold air pouring into the home. Whether you need your windows replaced or simply need to patch up any leaks, a proactive approach to leaky or older windows in the fall can save you from unnecessarily high heating bills come the winter. Addressing leaky windows also makes a home more comfortable for its inhabitants. Fall is the ideal time to address a home’s windows because the temperature outside tends to be pleasant. This means you likely won’t have to make much of an effort to offset the elements, and open windows in the fall won’t make your home’s interior very hot or cold like they might if you were to tackle the project during

the summer or winter. Fixing the floors

Wood flooring is a hot commodity for many homeowners. But not all flooring can be added to a home at any time of year. That’s because certain types of flooring employ adhesives that need temperatures inside the home to be within a certain range, and that range is often within 70o to 80o F, which makes fall a great time to install such floors. Colder temperatures can make it difficult for the flooring to dry and bond, which will prove problematic down the road. What’s more, many people entertain friends and family come late fall and into the holiday season, and it can be difficult to do so if you are busy installing new flooring.

Painting projects

Painting is another home improvement project that seems tailormade for fall. A fresh coat of paint or a new color scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the fall, when you can keep the

windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn’t the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 40o F. Paint that freezes

won’t dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their hands. Fall temperatures tend to be amenable to both interior and exterior painting projects, just be sure to check the weather forecast before making your first brush stroke.

How to stay within your home improvement budget Home improvement projects range from small scale undertakings that can be tackled in a single weekend to large remodels that can take several months to complete. While no two projects are the same, every home improvement project demands that homeowners dip into their pockets and spend some money. Much like the scale of projects varies greatly, so, too, do the financial commitments required of homeowners to make those projects a reality. But no matter the size of the project, homeowners can find ways to stretch their budgets without sacrificing the quality of their improvements. * Do your homework. Before you decide to make changes to your home, it’s best to first do some research into any potential projects you’re considering. Many homeowners have decided to dive into a project before they fully realize its scope and cost, and going in blind can bust a budget, turning what might have seemed like a relatively simple project into a money pit. Understanding just what a project entails and how much it’s likely to cost can give homeowners an idea of what they can afford and where they might be able to stretch their budgets. For example, if you want to replace your kitchen countertops but can’t afford engineered quartz countertops, you might be able to find a less expensive alternative, such as tile, that you like just as

much. But it’s best to research such alternatives before you decide to replace your existing countertops. If you can’t find a less expensive alternative, you might want to postpone the project until you can grow your budget. But starting the project without first grasping its true cost is a recipe for disaster, so do your homework before you find your toolbox and start working. * Build unforeseen expenses into your budget. Another way to stay within your budget is to include budget-busting unforeseen expenses into the budget from the get-go. Whether you’re doing the project yourself or paying a contractor, nearly every home improvement project will present some unforeseen, and costly, hurdles. For example, you might find mold inside the walls when you’re converting a basement, and it can cost a pretty penny to make that mold go away. If you go into the project expecting such hurdles, then the financial sting of addressing them won’t prove too great a burden. But if the mold catches you and your budget completely off guard, you might be forced to overextend that budget or make sacrifices elsewhere in order to complete the project. Build some contingency money, including permit and permit fees, into your home improvement project to safeguard against such unforeseen issues. * Get to work. If you’re hiring a contractor, speak to him or her before

signing a contract to see if there is anywhere you can pitch in to keep the labor costs low. You might be able to pitch in during the demolition phase, saving the cost of paying your contractor’s workers to tear down walls or remove debris you can just as easily remove yourself. Another way to pitch in is to do the end-of-day cleanup yourself. Any role you play with regard to labor will likely need to be negotiated upfront, but you can save yourself a substantial amount of money on labor if you’re willing to get your hands dirty. * Determine if piecemeal is the most affordable option. Sometimes it makes sense to tackle one project at a time, while other times you might want to combine projects to save on the cost of materials. For instance, if your ultimate goal is to install wood flooring throughout your home, determine if it makes more financial sense to install the flooring all at once rather than doing one or two rooms at a time. You might save by buying all of your materials at once rather than buying a small amount of materials several times over the next several years. Home improvement projects often go a long way toward making a home more enjoyable for its owners and inhabitants. And while such projects can be costly, homeowners who stay disciplined can still get their dream homes without busting their budgets.

OUR SNOWTHROWERS ARE IN,

How to inspect your furnace before winter arrives It is almost time to bid adieu to the warm days of summer. Chilly afternoons followed by continually dropping temperatures are on the horizon, and fall is the perfect time to service the home furnace to ensure it is ready to withstand the demands of winter. Furnace maintenance should be done on a regular basis. The best time to do so is in late summer or early fall, when you still have enough time to address any problems before it gets too cold outside. HVAC systems malfunctions are typically caused by one of a handful of common problems. Inspecting certain components can help to guarantee a furnace is in working order when the first cold days arrive.

Fuel

Furnaces are powered by various energy sources. Electricity, gas or oil may be involved in the process. If fuel is not being delivered to the furnace, the pilot will not light and warm the air to be blown through the house. Some systems have an emergency shut-off switch that will halt fuel delivery to the unit. It’s easy for these switches to be flipped accidentally if a furnace is located in a high-traffic area. Make sure the switch is in the “on” position before reporting a problem.

In addition to these steps, you may want to vacuum the vent screens around the house. This will reduce the amount of dust blown around. Also, if the furnace exhausts into a flue, be sure that the exhaust route is clear so that carbon monoxide does not back up into the home. Many homeowners are fully capable of inspecting their furnaces to ensure they are ready for winter. If anything seems out of place or malfunctions, consult with an HVAC professional to make repairs.

Filter and air intakes

After several months of running the air conditioning, the filter on the heating and cooling system may need to be changed. Check the condition of the filter to see if it is heavily soiled. Furnace filters are relatively inexpensive. Since this thin barrier will be responsible for cleaning the air you breathe, it is important to keep a fresh filter in the unit. A clogged, dirty filter will reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system and may contribute to poor indoor air and allergies. Check the air intakes around the house for obstructions. Do not place furniture directly in front of intakes or venting that delivers air to the home, as this can compromise air flow and force the unit to work harder. Without adequate air flow through the system, the furnace may not turn on. Many systems also have some sort of external vent or exhaust pipe. Check that the area is free of leaves, debris and animal nests. Again, any blockages can impede the efficiency of the unit or cause it to fail.

Thermostat

R0012908725

Very often a furnace may not turn over because the thermostat is faulty. Many a homeowner has spent money to have a service person come out to examine the furnace, only to learn they only need a new thermostat or battery in the thermostat. Check the thermostat against a separate thermometer to ensure that it is reading the right temperature in the house. Raise the setting a few degrees to test if the heat kicks on.

Budget-friendly bathroom transformation tips The allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. Such bathrooms can make for a welcome retreat after a long day at the office or an afternoon spent chasing kids around the yard. But as appealing as such a sanctuary may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners’ budgets can withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget. * Install a wall-hung mirror. If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wall-hung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a financial commitment. Flush-mount mirrors need not require the services of a contractor, but they can provide a sense of elegance that recessed cabinets cannot. * Replace bathroom countertops. A countertop replacement job may sound expensive, but such an undertaking is not very costly in the washroom, where counter space is typically limited. Since the cost of countertop materials is by the square foot, you can replace bathroom surfaces for a relatively small amount of money. Granite countertops can

be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the warm feel that many prefer in a luxury bathroom. A material such as soapstone is warm and inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look. * Embrace calm colors. Painting the bathroom is another inexpensive way to give the room an entirely new look. If the walls of your washroom are currently a vibrant color, consider a more calming tone to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel you’re aiming for. If your bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, you also can make it a two-tone tub to add a touch of relaxing elegance. Paint the tub’s exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray, and you will have transformed the washroom at little cost and even less effort. * Transform your double vanity. Many homeowners prefer a double vanity in their bathrooms, as such a setup allows both men and women the space to get ready for bed or work without getting in one another’s way. But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give the washroom a feel of antique luxury, and such washstands can found for a few hundred dollars. * Replace old fixtures. Though

they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fixtures as well as towel racks can greatly influence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even

more effective if you repaint or reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks, which can be an eyesore if they’re especially

dated. Transforming a bathroom may seem like a significant and costly undertaking, but savvy homeowners can give their washrooms a new and luxurious look without spending much money.

Prep the yard for winter weather weight of the snow, so collect these items and store them for the winter. Take out patio umbrellas and put them in the shed. If something is too large to move indoors, such as a barbecue or a pool filter, cover it with a durable tarp and secure it with rope. * Cover delicate trees. Depending on where you live, certain fruit trees, including fig trees, may need to be covered for the winter. Covering protects them from subfreezing temperatures and helps ensure they will rebound in the spring. Tropical plants should be moved indoors where they can thrive in a heated home. Do not rip out chrysanthemum plants. Contrary to popular belief, these are not annuals. They will rebloom year after year if allowed to do so. * Remove water collectors. Bring in or cover anything that may accumulate water, such as bird baths or kids’ toys. Water expands when frozen, and that means water trapped in any ceramic, glass or even plastic vessel can expand and cause the container to crack. * Clean up leaves and debris. Piles of leaves not only can suffocate a lawn and cause discoloration, but also can be attractive homes for rodents and insects looking for a warm place to spend their winters. Keep

your yard neat and clean to discourage wildlife from taking up residence near your home. * Cover vegetable and flower beds. Invest in some burlap to lay down over planting beds. This helps to keep the ground from freezing over and minimize weeds for next season. * Care for outdoor ponds. If you have a pond on your property, remove any weeds around it and fish out any leaves from the water. Leaves will decay in the water and build up ammonia levels that can harm fish. If the pond is small, cover it for the winter. Also, start cutting back on feeding outdoor fish. These aquatic animals’ bodies begin to prepare for winter by slowing down metabolism. Continuing to feed them can harm the fish when the temperature drops. * Wrap up pool season. It’s wise to close the pool and cover it before leaves start to drop. Otherwise you will have a hard time of keeping the water clean. * Plant spring bulbs now. Now is a good time to plan where you want to put spring bulbs. Once you have mapped things out, get the bulbs in the ground. Bulbs are relatively inexpensive and will provide that first punch of color when winter finally skips town.

As quickly as autumn weather arrives it seems to move aside for the blustery, cold days of winter. Winter can catch a person off guard and the seasons are now less predictable than ever before. It’s never too early to begin preparing your yard and outdoor living spaces for winter. Homeowners may be sad to bid farewell to the furniture and accessories of the fair-weather season, but time is of the essence when prepping for impending ice and snow. * Clean patio furniture. Give cushions and structures a thorough cleaning and allow to dry completely. Cleaning items before storing them for the winter saves time and energy next year when it’s time once again to set up the yard for recreation. If anything is damaged beyond repair, discard it and look for replacements during end-of-season sales when savings can be had. * Move things indoors. The more items you can store in a safe and secure location the better. Load the garage, basement or storage shed with outdoor gear. Leaving items exposes them to the elements, and such exposure can cause rust, wear and damage. Flower pots and lawn ornaments also can blow around in winter wind or collapse under the

10 ways to conserve energy this winter Conserving energy in the winter is a concern for many men and women. Whether your goal is to save energy and do your part for the environment or to trim a few dollars from your winter utility bills, here are 10 ways to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort this winter. 1. Have the furnace serviced. You can reduce furnace fuel consumption by as much as 10 percent by having the system serviced yearly. Late spring or early autumn is a good time to schedule an inspection and have filters replaced in forced-air systems. All radiators and other elements should be kept free of dust. 2. Remedy drafty windows. Drafty windows not only let cold air in, but also let warm air out. This is a one-two punch in terms of energy waste, forcing heating units to work harder to regulate a consistent temperature. Caulking and weatherstripping applications are easy do-it-yourself projects. If windows are old and especially drafty, consider replacement. If such an undertaking will stretch your budget, use tightly sealed plastic sheeting to insulate drafty windows until you can afford to replace them. 3. Address additional leaks. Windows and doors are not the only places where cold air can get in or warm air can escape. Leaks occur around pipes and plumbing penetrations to the home, and cold air also can enter through utility cut-throughs, light plates and outlets. Use insulation or weath-

erstripping to seal leaks in these areas. 4. Decorate with light-colored furnishings. Light-hued walls and furniture will reflect the sunlight that makes it into a home while also reflecting artificial light more effectively than darker shades. This can help you reduce your reliance on lamps and other lighting. 5. Make use of the sun. In the winter, the sun’s rays are not as powerful as during other seasons. That’s due to the tilt of the planet’s axis. However, you can still maximize daylight time for warmth. Open curtains and drapes on southern-facing windows and let warm sunlight shine through. Then close the curtains again when evening falls. You may be able to turn down the heat during the day when the sun is warming your home. 6. Use fireplaces properly. Fireplaces can be unnecessary sources of drafts and leaks. Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning. Keeping the damper open is like keeping a window wide open during the winter, allowing warm air to go right up the chimney. When the fireplace is in use, reduce heat loss by opening dampers in the bottom of the firebox or open the nearest window slightly and close doors leading into the room. If your fireplace is more decorative than functional, keep the damper closed at all times and consider sealing the chimney. 7. Conduct an energy audit. A home energy audit, also known as a home en-

ergy assessment, is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate which measures you can take to make your home more energy-efficient. Many times these government-sponsored programs are free, and an auditor will go through your home with a fine-toothed comb looking for potential energy losses. After the audit is conducted, you can choose which repairs or modifications make the most

sense for your budget and needs. 8. Adjust the direction of your ceiling fan blades. Blades that spin clockwise will trap heat inside to keep your rooms warmer during the cooler months. Adjust your ceiling fan to a low setting to gently push hot air back down. 9. Wear warmer clothes. Layer clothing when you’re in the house to reduce the need to adjust the heat. A sweater, pair of thick socks and a throw blanket

can keep you cozy. 10. Only heat the rooms you use. Close off venting or turn off radiators in spaces that are not in use. There is no point in heating unoccupied rooms. Any modifications you make to insulation, window drafts, thermostats, and HVAC systems are not just beneficial for the winter, but they also should help you save money and energy in the summer, too.

A Hawai’ian legacy Continued from page 24

But Bruddah Iz was not a one-sided softy. Offering biting commentaries on the exploitation of Hawai’i, he was a participant of the Second Hawai’an Renaissance, also known as the Hawai’ian Cultural Renaissance. His song E Ala Ē became an anthem for Hawai’ian culture and independence. In the song, he explains how the Hawai’ian people should stand as one nation and fight for justice. “We, the voices behind the face, of the Hawai’ian nation, the Hawai’ian race Rise for justice the day has come For all our people to stand as one, E ala ē.... Gone are the days of the alamihi ways E kiko i ka piko o ka mana o ka

po’e The power of the people is the piko We the warriors born to live On what the land and sea can give Defend or birthright to be free Give our children liberty, E ala ē� The Hawai’ian phrase e ala means wake up or rise up, with the second ē is added for emphasis, encouraging Hawai’ians to rise up for justice. On some inner level, Iz knew his time on Earth was limited. “I am not afraid of death because in Hawai’i we live in both worlds,� he said in one of his concerts. “We live on both sides.� He was ready. He lived every moment to its musical and spiritual fullest. Iz only released four albums dur-

ing his life: Ka ʝAnoʝi (1990), Facing Future (1993), E Ala Ē (1995) and N Dis Life (1996). Compilation albums released after his death include Iz in Concert: The Man and His Music (1998), Alone in IZ World (2001), Wonderful World (2007) and Over the Rainbow (2011). With sales of more than a million copies, the Facing Future album is the top selling Hawaiian music album in history. It remained on the Billboard chart for 493 weeks. Listen to his Over the Rainbow. Then sit back and listen to it again and reflect in shock. The only sounds on the track are Iz’s voice and a ukulele. Yet it carries us to other lands like a full orchestra could. I have seen people listening to Iz as tears ran down their faces. He has a special effect on Native Hawai’ians; but he has

Beyond the sadness, there was much smiling, laughter and splashing of water as the dust floated into the air and sea. Aloha....which, in Hawai’i, means both goodbye and hello.

He died of respiratory failure at the age of 38 in Hawai’i in 1997, leaving behind his wife Marlene and a daughter, Ceslie-Ann (Wehi). Recognized as Suppaman in Hawai’i, after his death his Hawai’ian wooden koa coffin lay in state at the State Capitol in Honolulu a.

Let’s talk story By Mark Bergin Columnist

R0012905978_0925

Gazette Lifestyle – Tiana Prince and Alexander Oliver are bringing stories to the streets—and the library. The Queen’s University grads started Viva Voce to promote storytelling by young people. Not your average storytelling, but arts installations. The Living Voice of our Youth,

Telling our Stories, the tagline on a Viva Voce poster, sums up the project. “Viva Voce translates directly to the living voice,” says Prince. “It relates to the idea of oral tradition. Part of the reason we’re interested in doing this is that storytelling is fundamental to our society. But with modern day technology we’re not always present face-to-face. Storytelling is something we all still do in many ways. We’re

trying to encourage youth and young adults to share and listen to live stories. It’s not all in traditional storytelling form.” Many cultures value storytelling. In Ireland, the seanchaí (storytellers) pass history and wisdom between generations. The storytelling traditions of Hawaii and Polynesia help the community thrive and grow. In North America, we hear phrases like “Let’s shoot the breeze” or “Let’s shoot the s#@t.” In Hawaii, you’ll often hear, “let’s get together and talk story.” That’s what communication is about: sharing the stories of our lives. Young artists curate, create, operate and perform in Viva Voce. Prince and Oliver both graduated from Queen’s University with drama degrees. Prince followed that with her teacher’s college. She teaches drama in the integrated arts program at Leahurst College and dance at 5678 Dance Studio. They started Viva Voce last summer. Continued on page 39

DAYTRIPPER

Let’s talk story “Tiana and I attended a theatre conference in Toronto,” says Oliver. “We met a young man who had his own theatre that holds storytelling nights in London.” Prince and Oliver have both been involved with Blue Canoe Theatrical Productions and were working with the company over the summer. “We came back and talked to Mike [Sheppard, the Artistic Director of Blue Canoe at the time].” Blue Canoe had been involved with the Kingston Frontenac Public Library through Theatre Kingston’s Library Chronicles last year. “As we were putting this together, we learned that the library had hired a teen and new adult librarian, Liz Coates,” says Prince. “It was a brand new position. Liz arrived two weeks before the event. It was perfect timing. She’s offering so many youth programs for the library.” Almost 100 young people showed up to the first event, which focused on the theme of Firsts or Starts. Storytelling at Viva Voce installations doesn’t necessarily involve words. Performers used spoken word, drama, dance, comedy and music to tell their stories. “There was a great energy,” says Prince. “It was a casual setting but also supportive and safe.” They continued talks with Mike Sheppard of Blue Canoe and Liz Coates of KFPL, both of whom offered support. Blue Canoe Theatrical Productions provides staff, technical support, advertising and refreshments. The library provides the Wilson Room, designing and marketing materials, storytelling resources and advertising. “The library connection to this is crucial,” says Sheppard, who has now left Blue Canoe but remains local in his new position as an Administrator with the Kingston Arts Council. “We’ll make it work Liz says.” “Liz [Coates] is really jazzed about all of this,” says Oliver. “The library is a key part of Viva Voce. It says a lot about the library and community involvement.” Sheppard adds that it’s the kind of creative relationship that Blue Canoe can embrace. “It’s about being part of a larger youth group,” he says. “There are people who might not want to be part of theatre, but they have a chance to participate in a different artistic form.” The inaugural Viva Voce event took place on July 3 at the Central Branch of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library. Viva Voce uses coffeehouse-style storytelling. In creating an open and safe

environment, Prince and Oliver approached as many youth communities as they could. “In seeking storytellers, we tried to branch out to local high schools, universities, colleges, the LGTBQ and Aboriginal communities,” says Prince. “We want to bring representatives of youth communities together.” When the first Viva Voce installation was held it was designed as a one-off evening. But it was such a success and brought so many young people in that it became obvious that there is a need in the community. “We really want youth to hear their own stories,” says Oliver. “Stories often come from the older generation as lessons and shared experiences. But growing up, we want to hear the living voice from youth.” Prince says that it’s refreshing to hear young people’s stories. “They are amazing storytellers,” she says. “We were blown away at the last event.” The theme for the October 21 Viva Voce installation is Fears. Prince laughs about the upcoming Viva Voce storytelling arts installation as she plays with the concept of fear and the fact that Halloween is coming

up. “We’re keeping oral traditions alive,” she says. “Undead.” Doors at the library will open at 6:30 on October 21, and there will be live music and light refreshments. The show starts at 7 p.m. “Each performer has a five minute window,” says Oliver. “It has to be super interesting. There are many forms of storytelling. A lot of it is best described as performance art. We’ll have a dramatic theatrical piece, poetry, dance, a singer.” “You don’t go in and know what people are going to do with their story,” says Sheppard. “Performance art could be anything. The last time someone used shadow puppetry.” As for the fearful theme, Prince explains that it doesn’t mean a collection of spooky stories. “We’ll have a few in there with a scary theme,” she says. “With Fears, it is close to Halloween, and it could be silly, too. Last time when we were looking at Firsts or Starts, some people gave a really personal meaning to fresh start and others talked about the first time they tried something new.” “Or it could be things from the

past that we fear,” says Oliver. Viva Voce is a free public event, although someone can make a donation if they wish. The October 21 gathering won’t be the last event. Another is in the works for November. Sheppard explains that as long as they find people who are committed

Viva Voce will continue. “The curation has to be passionate,” he says. “And Tiana and Alex are passionate.” To contact Viva Voce: vivavoce. ygk@gmail.com. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin
