Sydenham High School student chosen for Antarctic expedition By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – This year’s Christmas vacation just got a lot more exciting for Sydenham High School student William Sanderson. He will be heading to Antarctica for two weeks starting on Christmas day as part of the Students on Ice program. “I’m pretty excited,” said Sanderson, a Grade 10 student at Sydenham. “I have always had an interest in the environment and the outdoors and this is an opportunity to further my understanding of the environment itself and interact with it further.” The Canadian Students on Ice program is based in Gatineau and started in 2000. Each year, the program invites students from around the world to apply for annual trips to the Arctic and Antarctica. Seventy high school and university students are chosen for each trip and they travel with experts, scientists and educators to the regions and participate in studies, workshops and hands-on research. “The program interested me because it also gives me the opportunity to see a place of the earth that people rarely get the chance to see,” said Sanderson. “It is also really educational. We go in as if we are a research team and we really learn from the professional researchers and observe in the same ways they do.” Sanderson was overjoyed when he received the acceptance email from Students on Ice, but then came the hard part – fundraising. The Grade 10 student William Sanderson is off to Antarctica on Christmas day for a two week trip costs about $14,000 per student and after expedition. Photo/Mandy Marciniak. some help from his parents, Sanderson still

had to come up with $7,000. “I did things like organize a multi-family garage sale where I went around to different family members and collected items they didn’t want and sold them,” explained Sanderson. “I also received donations from the little league football team that I help coach. The parents came together and helped me out and that was greatly appreciated and also unexpected. Everyone has been so generous.” With fundraising almost out of the way, Sanderson is already looking forward to the trip. He is excited for all of it but says he is most looking forward to meeting his fellow participants. “I am looking forward to interacting with them and learning together and sharing our common interests. I am also looking forward to exploring an area that is so untouched by humans. There are very few people who have fully explored it and I am excited to see it firsthand.” Sanderson is also looking forward to bringing all that he learns back with him on Jan. 8 and sharing it with members of the community. As part of the program he is encouraged to share his knowledge and act as an ambassador for the program and the environment itself. “I have already spoken to teachers at Loughborough Public School about coming in and sharing my experience and really teaching them what I learned. I hope that it inspires them to take on something they are passionate about or maybe even pursue this program when they get older.” For more information about Students on Ice visit www.studentsonice.com

particular crops grow well. The idea isn’t new, but it is one that hasn’t been used to its potential for a long time. Consider the McIntosh apple, which was discovered as a single tree on John McIntosh’s Dundela farm in 1811 or Red Fife wheat that originated in Peterborough in 1842. In this area, efforts by Paul Pospisil, David Hahn and others have produced some very successful strains of garlic in recent years.

Gazette News — It’s a rather simple concept really, develop seeds that grow well in a certain area and then make them available to farmers in that area. Essentially, that’s the idea behind the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative (KASSI). “Almost everything we eat begins with seeds,� said Kathy Rothermel, a Wolfe Island farmer and one of the driving forces behind KASSSI. “As a result, we want to build our region’s capacity to grow its own food and its own seeds.� To that end, they’ll be holding a day-long workshop, Planting for the Future: Building Capacity for a Regional Seed System Nov. 15 at Inverary United Church in Inverary.

There is no charge for the event and lunch is provided. Dianne Dowling, president of the National Farmers Union Local 316, is also involved in the initiative and said the fledgling KASSI group is “mostly in education and awareness mode� right now but is interested in developing a system that would give local farmers more options and control over their crops. “To be political about it, whoever controls the seed, controls farming,� she said. “We’d like to be able to make local decisions rather than have them made in New York or Brussels. “A lot of crop varieties have

Want to get something done? “Keep the councilors out of it� By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — South Frontenac Council has finally realized how to get things done at the County level — “keep the councilors out of it.� Mayor Gary Davison was smiling when he said that at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sydenham but there was a ring of truth to it. Davison was referring to a meeting between township CAOs, planning staff and Frontenac County staff along with Ministry of Municipal Affairs staff to hammer out some wording in the County’s impending Official Plan (OP) that everyone could live with. South Frontenac Planner/Dep. Clerk Lindsay Mills, along with CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr, had been ringing alarm bells loudly over what they perceived as potentially unworkable clauses in the County OP. But the meeting two weeks ago, sans politicians, seemed to work out to everyone’s satisfaction. “I’d like to thank staff,� said Mayor Gary Davison. “Coun. John McDougall and I (South’s representatives on County Council) were able to get a stay of execution on the OP but it was staff who hammered out the agreement. “Five of the six things we asked for were able to be changed.� Davison reiterated what they had been told repeatedly, that the Ministry wouldn’t

accept the changes South wanted to wording in several sections. “Funny thing,â€? Davison said. “When it came to the 11th hour and we had everybody in the same room, things managed to get changed.â€? ••• There were “no disruptionsâ€? on municipal election night, CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr told South Frontenac Council. “We did have people coming in the last half hour to be enumerated but everything was completed by 8 p.m.,â€? Orr said. Mayor Gary Davison expressed some regret at the voter turnout. “You’d think it would be higher,â€? he said. “You don’t have to get out of your lazy chair or even put the TV remote down.â€? Orr offered that the acclamations in Bedford and Storrington Districts likely had an effect. “I received some complaints from people that they weren’t on the voters list,â€? said Bedford Coun. Pat Barr. Orr said he was sympathetic to those people and said they tried to accommodate everyone they found out about. “It’s frustrating for them, we understand that,â€? he said. “People say ‘you can find me to send a tax bill but not for the voters list?’â€? ••• A request from a Sydenham resident for skateboarding park will

said Mayor Gary Davison. “They were skateboarding on the tennis courts. “But, where do you build the

Public Works Managers present first proposal for joint operations By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Meetings between the public works managers for the four townships in Frontenac County might finally begin to bear fruit, if the Ministry of the Environment agrees to a proposal the PWMs have come up with regarding waste management monitoring. South Frontenac PWM Mark Segsworth submitted a report to Council at its regular meeting in Sydenham last week outlining a proposal whereby the four townships would share waste management consulting services. In his report, Segsworth said that data for four years (2010-2013), indicated the four townships spend in

excess of $500,000 annually for such services. “This data demonstrated to the group that a business case could be made to reduce costs by issuing a joint request for proposal (RFP)to retain one consultant for all four townships or investigate bringing some of these services in-house, ie, hire our own professional engineer to facilitate the monitoring and provide reporting compliance for all the waste sites,” Segsworth said. The PWM group then met with the accounting firm KMPG to prepare a business case for the plan. Three options were considered with the group finally deciding that total outsourcing of all aspects of the service delivery of waste management

that involves Ministry reporting, liaison, ground and surface water testing and monitoring using one RFP would be the preferred approach. “This is the preferred option as it provides an opportunity to work together with one consultant over an extended time period and gain information on where there may be further efficiencies within the operations of waste management,” Segsworth said. “This would allow a single point of contact for all four townships whereby they could meet periodically to discuss upcoming changes in landfill sites and work collectively towards solutions.

“This should result in a reduced fee for service if the contract is for all four townships and over a multi-year period, without any additional costs in-house for staff, vehicles and equipment.” One potential stumbling block to the plan is that the testing and monitoring takes time and given that Ministry reports tend to be due at the same time, it could be problematic to get all four municipalities’ reports submitted by deadline. But Segsworth said he feels this can be overcome. “All of the options need to be dis-

cussed with the MOE to determine if there is a possibility to stagger dates for the required annual reporting among the four townships to allow a firm to work around those timelines,” he said. Coun. John McDougall praised the report and wondered if there was a “model out there” of similar arrangements between other townships that the PWMs could consult. “We’re unique,” said Segsworth. “To our knowledge there are no other municipalities doing this. “But we do believe there a economies of scale to be achieved.”

When it’s cold out, online activity heats up.

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — South Frontenac Township has added its voice to an Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) call to allow full-time firefighters in other municipalities to be volunteer firefighters in the municipalities where they live. Council passed a resolution at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham supporting “DoubleHatters rights” following a notice of motion from Coun. Del Stowe to support the AMO position paper. Mayor-elect Ron Vandewal questioned the liability should a double-hatting firefighter be injured and CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr replied it was his understanding that the firefighter would be covered under the insurance of both employers. The issue has come to a head recently with the case of Tom Hunse, a City of Toronto professional firefighter for 22 years who has also been a volunteer with Innisfil Fire Services. According to an AMO “policy update,” Hunse’s union, The Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association, has demanded that since he has not stopped his volunteer work that he be fired from his Toronto job. “An arbitration hearing is set for later this year that would deal with his permanent employment status with the City since he is no longer a member in good standing and only Association members in good standing are able to be members of the fulltime bargaining unit,” the policy update said. “Mr. Hunse has filed a Duty for Fair Representation Application with the Ontario Labour Relations Board

against the Toronto Professional Fire Fighters Association. “The duty of fair representation provisions of the Labour Relations Act stipulate that a trade union shall not act in a manner that is arbitrary, discriminatory or in bad faith in representing employees.” AMO has requested intervener status at this hearing, saying that it affects many municipal governments. “A simple change to provincial law would prevent this type of union interference,” AMO said. “To our knowledge, every Canadian province has such protection, except for Ontario and Newfoundland. “These volunteers should be supported, not pressured for wanting to protect their neighbours in their home communities.” South Frontenac Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough said his position was “I think anyone should be able to spend their free time as they see fit, as long as it doesn’t interfere with their full-time employment.” He said the matter has been “an ongoing process in Ontario for many years” and that there are many fire departments that rely on volunteers (including all four of the townships in Frontenac County). He did acknowledge that an injury to a volunteer could “impact” that volunteer’s full-time employer however. As to how much South Frontenac is affected by double hatting not being allowed, he said: “I don’t think it would be an issue here but I can’t say for 100 per cent it isn’t.” He did envision a time in the future where it might be, if the City of Kingston grows and South Frontenac grows simultaneously as a bedroom community, or if South Frontenac grows to the point where it needs fulltime staff on its own fire department.

That’s why it’s so important that we move the ENT clinics from their current crowded quarters in an 1800s building to a larger, more accessible space within Hotel Dieu Hospital, where the amazing team who provide ENT care will be able to provide more timely access to care in a barrier-free environment that is built to support high-tech equipment. This is about shorter waits for people with disorders of ear, nose and throat, including services such as audiology and speech language pathology for kids in southeastern Ontario. But it can only happen with YOUR support It’s up to our community to raise funds to support the move.

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Want to appreciate the Frontenacs? Spend a weekend in Toronto Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column — Be it ever so humble . . . and all that jazz. I spent last weekend in Toronto, visiting my son, my daughter and her husband. It wasn’t so much a social call as it was a delivery. I rented a 10’ U-Haul, loaded it up with all the possessions the kids had been storing at my place as well as some surplus furniture, and headed west. From Sharbot Lake, Google Maps recommends Hwy. 7 to Hwy. 3, picking up the 401 at Belleville, so that’s the route I took. I had been awhile since I’d been on the Belleville-to-Toronto stretch of the 401 and was surprised to find that six lanes now starts just east of Cobourg. It was the other side of Port Hope for six lanes last time I was there. That in itself should have warned me what was to come. I felt rather smug going through Ajax. Heading east, all umpteen lanes were slowed to a crawl, a virtual sea of headlights in the rain. Going west,

things were moving along nicely. They moved along nicely until about Warden Avenue. Stop, go a little bit, stop some more. It was worse going the other way. Oh well, I thought, things will clear up once I hit the Don Valley Parkway. Wrong. If anything, things got slower. Granted, it was around 5 p.m. when I hit the DVP, but really, should it take an hour to get to the Bloor exit? Now, just exactly how many people in this sea of cars do this every day, five days a week, I don’t think anybody knows. But really, can a good job in Toronto and a nice house in Whitby be worth this drive? If I ever needed a reason not to be lured back to TO, this would be it. My kids live in the same building, on Parliament Street in Cabbagetown. It’s something like 24 floors and has more people living in it than Tweed. Put another way, it’s three times the population of Sharbot Lake in the summer and it’s only one of a couple dozen similar buildings in an apartment complex. And they’re building more. Now, my kids think this is great.

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

But it was far too many people in one area for this old country boy. Cabbagetown itself has to be the most ethnically diverse place on the planet. Again, this is a big part of the attraction for my kids and I have to admit that was kinda cool but like the Dixie Chicks said, I need room to make the big mistakes. All told though, I’m glad I went. Wandering around Toronto with my daughter was surprisingly fun, seeing it through her eyes. Watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier with my son was excellent and the Facebook photo of me and my sonin-law got more likes than anything else I’ve ever posted. But I’m sure glad to be home. ••• And this, the 15th on the 15th. My musical buddy and collaborator Tom Revell is hosting the 15th Annual Rock’n’Roll Toy Drive dance Nov. 15 at the Lions Club in Verona. All proceeds go to Christmas For Kids in the Verona area. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets are $20. Revell promises “a buncha bandsâ€? including Sharbot Lake’s Feral Five, the revamped Bauder Road, 10-Cent Hat and more “friends.â€?

Recognize and support our young civic stars

Gazette Editorial - Do you know someone aged six to 17 who’s a real standout among their peers? Someone who volunteers a helping hand on a regular basis, or who has shown him or herself to be hero to their family, school, church, or community? Someone, perhaps, exhibiting or a high level of academic and extra-curricular achievement, who manages it all while also helping to make life better for others? The Ontario Community Newspaper Association (OCNA) is looking for the most dedicated, intrepid, and caring youth in order to bestow upon them the 2014 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award, and we would like invite all of our readers into the nomination process. You can nominate someone by completing a nomination form found on the OCNA’s website, www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen. There’s an online nomination form, or you can download and print out a form, which can be either e-mailed, faxed or mailed to the organization.

Christmas could come early for a lucky Kingston tween actor By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette Events – Do you know a boy between the ages of seven and 13 who wants to act, sing and play one of the most iconic roles of all time on the silver screen? If so, there’s an audition taking place Nov. 15 that he doesn’t want to miss. Tiny Tim: Casting a Holiday Classic is an original talent reality show produced by Kingston’s TV Cogeco. The goal is to find the perfect Tiny Tim for filmmaker Anthony DP Mann’s musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The son of Ebenezer Scrooge’s clerk, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim appears only briefly in the story, yet he is an essential character, symbolizing both the immediate and societal consequences of the protagonist’s choices. “I’m looking for a talented young fellow who can act, carry a tune and steal the audience’s heart,” Mann

explains. “This is Tim’s story, as he represents hope - that’s the theme of Carol. This special kid will need to have a magical quality that projects innocence and the best qualities of the human spirit.” Producers are hoping to see at least 30 boys audition on Nov. 15. Of those, six contestants will be chosen to be part of the show. Over a four week period, they will be put through various acting and singing challenges, and three judges, Mann, Charline Cleaver and Jess Harding, will narrow it down to two finalists. From there, viewers at home will be able to vote for the winner. “It’s an opportunity for the community to be a part of something that has a significant outcome,” says TV Cogeco producer Mike Pontbriand. “For all the kids auditioning, it’s a chance to be in a big movie - one that has a distribution deal in place already as opposed to a film that’s just someone making an in-

dependent movie that may or may not go anywhere.” In 2013, Cogeco produced a similar show, Casting Christine, which cast the star of Mann’s adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. “It was great,” Pontbriand recalls. “It was neat to be part of such an emotional process. We were surprised at the number of people who were so into playing Christine, and I assume that with Tiny Tim there are probably a lot of kids out there, or parents of kids,

who would like to see them play that iconic role.” Auditions are held for one day only: Saturday, Nov. 15 from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. at the TV Cogeco studio, located at 170 Colborne St. Filming of A Christmas Carol will take place February through April, 2015.

Kingston Fire and Rescue encourages community members to ‘Say No to CO’ By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

did not have working smoke alarms. Many residents also asked if they needed to have both a smoke alarm and CO detector in their home, sparking a need for a specialized CO education program. “They do two very different things and both can have a serious and devastating outcome,” explained Patry. “Carbon monoxide may be even more dangerous than smoke because you can’t see it, smell it, taste it or feel it and you have no idea if it is there. It is very important to have both detectors in your home.” With some assistance from Union Gas, KFR has launched a new program called ‘Say No to CO’. The program will work to R0012991477

Gazette News – Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the silent killer, but Kingston Fire and Rescue (KFR) are certainly not silent when it comes to educating the public about the importance of CO awareness and the installation of detectors. “Detectors have been around for over a decade, but now legislation is expected to pass in December of 2014 requiring homeowners to have a CO detector in their home,” explained KFR Assistant Chief Paul Patry. “We want to take this opportunity to educate the public and really make

people aware of the hazards of CO and these potentially life-saving devices.” Legislation will require homeowners who own a fossil fuel producing appliance like a furnace, wood stove or propane heater, to have a CO detector installed on the same floor as sleeping quarters. Patry also points out that in some cases, where homes have bedrooms on multiple floors, more than one detector may be required. Last spring, KFR did a door to door check of both smoke alarms and CO detectors. While CO detectors were not mandatory at the time, smoke alarms have been for many years and shockingly staff found that 40 per cent of the homes they visited

educate the public about CO and will even provide detectors for those who may find it harder to obtain them. “Funds were generously given to us by Union Gas to help support this initiative,” added Patry. “We know that legislation is changing, but people’s ability to become compliant with that change really comes down to education and access to resources.” For seniors and members of the community with disabilities, access to resources may be more difficult and Patry urges those members to call KFR and ask for assistance. Funding is limited, but Patry hopes that those who require a detector will have access to one. “We get calls all the time for assistance and in this situation decisions will be made

at our discretion and based on the need of the individual seeking assistance. We would love to be able to help everyone, but the resources simply aren’t there so we need to be sure that those we are helping really need it.” Educating people who already have a CO detector is also part of the ‘Say No to CO’ program and Patry points out that nothing lasts forever. Smoke alarms and CO detectors both have a life span and need to be replaced in order to continue being effective. “Most smoke alarms last about 10 years, but CO detectors have a much shorter life, usually four to 7 years depending on the make,” added Patry. “The detector is constantly filtering the air around you and as the detector ages that filter becomes less and less effective.” While legislation is set to pass in December, Patry expects that it will be quite a while before KFR moves towards true enforcement. “I expect that our department will hold back for the better part of six months if not longer. Our view is really towards public education and awareness.” For more information on the ‘Say No to CO’ program visit COSafety.ca or cityofkingston.ca/fire.

Prevent fires at home this winter Winter is synonymous with many things, but few people would rank home fires atop their list of things that remind them of winter. However, according to the United States Fire Administration, more than $2 billion in property loss occurs in winter home fires each year, and more than 900 people per year lose their lives to winter home fires. Perhaps the most troubling thing about those statistics is that winter home fires are entirely preventable. By taking certain precautions, men, women and children can greatly reduce the risk of home fires. · Have the furnace inspected. Ideally, furnaces should be inspected and any problems addressed before the arrival of winter. But many homeowners forget this routine maintenance until that first cold day when it's time to turn the heat back on. If you have not yet had your furnace inspected, schedule an inspection with a local HVAC professional, who can make sure all controls and emergency shutoffs are fully functioning. If you discover an issue during a self-inspection, call a professional to make the repairs. Unless you have experience in HVAC repair, it's best to let the pros handle any repairs because the stakes are so high. Home fires often result from faulty equipment, so only trained professionals should be inspecting and repairing your home furnace. · Be especially careful when using portable heaters. Portable heaters can warm up those areas of the house that always seem to be too cold in winter, and such devices also provide a backup plan in case of a broken heating system. But the USFA notes that, in 2011, heating equipment was involved in more than 53,000 home structure fires in the United States, accounting for 14 percent of all reported home fires. When using portable heating equipment, such as space heaters, radiators

and portable fireplaces, do not place such devices anywhere close to items that can burn. Upholstered furniture, bedding, mattresses and clothing can ignite in seconds, so keep portable heating devices away from such items. And always turn portable heating devices off when leaving the room where they are in operation. · Address frozen pipes correctly. Water pipes in a home can freeze depending on how cold the home gets. It might be tempting to thaw such pipes with an open flame, but such an approach is highly dangerous, as the pipe may begin to conduct the heat and ignite the wall structure inside the space. When addressing pipes you suspect are frozen, thaw them with hot water or even a laboratory-tested handheld dryer rather than an open flame. · Treat your fireplace with kid gloves. Fireplaces make great gathering spots for families in the winter, but only when they are operated safely. Before lighting the first fire of the season, have the fireplace and chimney inspected and cleaned to reduce the risk of fire. Once the time comes to spark your first fire, do not use flammable liquids to start or accelerate the fire and make sure you have installed a screen in front of the fireplace to prevent embers or sparks from jumping out of the fire and possibly igniting any nearby items or materials. Inspect smoke alarms. Properly functioning smoke alarms can save both your home and your life. When functioning properly, smoke alarms can alert you to a fire early on, giving you time to extinguish a small fire before it spreads or to escape a larger fire before it threatens your life. Inspect your smoke alarms periodically regardless of the season and make sure you have at least one functioning alarm on each level of your home.

Think you know Sir John? Re-examining the Macdonald legacy hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Gazette Events - There’s no denying that Kingston has been abuzz with Sir John A Macdonald-themed excitement in the months and years leading up to the 2015 Macdonald Bicentennial events, which will mark the 200th birthday of Canada’s first prime minister. But what was the cost of the much-mythologized “nation-building” attributed to our country’s most famous forefather? The 16th annual Indigenous Symposium at the Queen’s Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre will examine this topic Nov. 14-15 at Robert Sutherland Hall. “Every year the theme of the conference is different, but it’s always structured around indigenous issues,” explains PhD candidate Erin Sutherland, who is organizing the symposium alongside Rebecca Rhodes. “This year, because it’s so close to the [John A Macdonald Bicentennial], they decided that it would be a great idea to do something in response to the celebration.” Sutherland notes that the idea is not to present Macdonald as a “bad guy”, but to get people thinking more critically about his legacy and how it is remembered.

“His story is kind of heroicized,” she says. “For better or worse, he was involved in some very influential policies that really affected not only indigenous people, but also settlers and Canadian politics in general that you can still see in the way that Harper celebrates Canada.” As the superintendent of Indian Affairs, for example, Macdonald had a strong influence on early policies surrounding indigenous people in Canada. Sutherland points out that he was also one of the first people to bring up the idea of residential schools, which had a resounding and devastating effect on the indigenous population. “There’s a very kind and curmudgeonly image of him perpetuated throughout Kingston, and it’s just more complicated than that,” Sutherland notes. These ideas tie in closely with The Other Kingston Project, something Laura Murray, a symposium presenter, has been involved with for quite some time; the idea of the project is to draw out different local historical figures to get a broader idea of Kingston’s past. “I’ve really started thinking a lot about how much Kingston pays attention to Sir John A Macdonald and how it doesn’t pay a lot of attention to a lot of other aspects of

its history,” says Murray, who sits on the municipal heritage committee, as well as that committee’s educational working group, which is in charge communicating history to the public by way of things like plaques and walking tours. “I can’t tell you how many Sir John A plaques there are, but there have to be about 15-20. Then there are of course roads named after Sir John A Macdonald, schools named after Sir John A Macdonald, buildings named after Sir John A Macdonald. There are just so many things associated with him. And that would be fine, except that there is a finite amount of energy and money for these things.” Murray’s talk will re-imagine what Kingston would be like if there were more recognitions of the city’s indigenous history. For example, there was an important man named Dr. Peter Jones, a contemporary of Macdonald, who graduated from Queen’s Medical School in 1866. “He was one of the first Status Indians to get a medical degree in Canada, and he went on to become chief and a very important leader in his community,” Murray says. “We think he’s the kind of guy that we also ought to remember in Kingston.” The symposium will also hear

from the local music collective The Gertrudes; along with poet Sadiqa Khan, the group wrote a song about Macdonald called Of One Almighty Nation, to the tune of the classic Irish drinking song Whiskey in the Jar. Gertrudes member Greg Tilson explains that they were approached by both the John A Macdonald Bicentennial Commission and those

organizing the Indigenous Symposium, and asked to participate in these events. “We’re happy to take part in marking the 200th birthday of Sir John A Macdonald but just felt that it was important to make sure everyone is invited to the party and that all voices are heard,” Tilson says.

We were feeling there’s probably room for more critical perspectives. This is Kingston history, this is Canadian history, and in history there needs to be many sides of the story.” The song touches on both the admirable and not-so-admirable aspects of Macdonald’s legacy, from his grand dream of a “land of milk and honey” to the native children he sent to residential schools. “If you look at the lyrics of the original version of the song, it’s about troubadours and thieves,” Tilson explains. “And that certainly relates to some of the topics that the Gertrudes’ version of the song touches on in

Be aware of potential pitfalls if planning any vehicle modifications Gazette Lifestyle – “Hello Brian, I have two questions concerning vehicle modifications and whether or not these modifications are legal in Canada/ Ontario. Is the popular K&N air intake filter system legal in all applications? I have heard that some jurisdictions consider that to be a modification of the emissions control system on a vehicle and therefore prohibited. Can you shed any light on this? Also, automotive magazines and some popular DIY mechanic TV shows out of the States have often made mention of “computer chips” improving the power, performance and even the gas mileage of modern vehicles (any vehicle with an onboard computer system (OBD I or II). In some cases the claims for enhanced performance and mileage etc. are quite substantial. It sounds too good to be true. Are these devices (computer chips) legal in Canada and are they as good as claimed? Hope this topic is of interest to your many readers.” Cheers, Rod

move the chip a few days before a test to avoid detection. In my opinion on-road emission enforcement in Ontario is almost nonexistent so it’s unlikely anyone running a chipped engine will get caught unless it causes some very visible emissions.
If a chip causes an engine to run too lean it can cause internal damage leading to some expensive bills. Before you consider buying and installing one ask yourself “who will pay for any damage/fines/ warranty problems I might run into?”

At one point in time, most insurance companies used a 75/25 rule. If the damage estimate was 75 per cent of the wholesale value of the vehicle or greater, it would be considered a total loss. The 25 represented the average percentage of a vehicle’s wholesale value that a salvage yard would pay to the insurance company. Since then, salvage yards (or auto recyclers as they like to be known) will sometimes pay higher prices for scrap vehicles based on a specific make/model’s parts demand. I’ve heard of auto recyclers paying up to 40 per cent of the wholesale value of

“Hi there, 
I just bought a new 2014 SUV yesterday and had a deer run out in front of me on the way home from the dealership. Literally 20 minutes of driving created $12,000 in damages. The car was just over $25,000 plus taxes WINTERIZING etc. 
That said I really hope it’s SHRINK written off but I WRAPPING have no idea of the formula created to determine if it is a total loss or not and would like an opinion if you could give one.” Thanks in advance

While I’m not a legal expert... On modern vehicles with any type of emission system component mounted in the air filter’s housing or air inlet tube, you have to be sure that part (usually some type of air monitor sensor on late model injected engines) is re-located into the K&N housing/tube and is still functional. K&N kits always contain good quality and easy-to-follow instructions to make sure you don’t go astray. On older cars equipped with carburetors, the emission control parts of the air filter housing are not always quite as evident. Sometimes there’s just a vacuum hose or foam filter or some innocuous looking valve. If any of these are discarded when the K&N kit is installed you can run into problems with authorities. Almost every summer I hear from classic car enthusiasts who have had their vehicles inspected by Ontario Ministry of Environment officials at collector car shows and have received substantial fines because of a small modification to an air filter housing. 
 Computer chips for vehicle on-board engine control processors can improve either performance or mileage, not both. But you risk engine and emission control component damage. If you pop a chip into a new vehicle that is still under warranty, it will void any factory coverage. As well there is always the risk a chip will cause your vehicle to fail an emissions test. Some owners will simply re-

a vehicle to get it. Unfortunately the math in this case doesn’t lead me to believe your insurance company will consider this vehicle a total loss. If this isn’t a warning to be alert for deer on the roads, I don’t know what is.

Tana Gordanier fall show to be held in family home By Rob Mooy

Tana Gordanier has come home. She was never that far away from her childhood home, which is now the Colonnade Golf and Country Club. But, with the passing of her father, it was time to move back to the family homestead. Her father (Hubert Gordanier) moved here at the age of 11 in 1935 with his parents and three broth-

ers. He fell in love with farming as a child. His childhood dream was always to be the sole owner of the land he ploughed each spring behind a team of horses. Over time it became a reality. While working the land he so loved, he met his second love and married Stella Kerr. Together they had five children, Debbie, Tana, Paul, Lee and Mark, who now own and operate the Colonnade.

“Dad lived in the old red brick farm house until he died at the age of 88 in 2012,” says Gordanier. “So in 2013 I decided it was time to renovate the homestead and make it my home and art gallery. Now it takes me 20 seconds to walk to work.” Born and raised on this dairy farm in Joyceville, Gordanier spent a great deal of her childhood trying to find time for a creative outlet. While studying at Queen’s University, her art instructor bluntly stated she should never teach art. Not easily discouraged, she began painting watercolours in the early 1990s. From there she developed an eye-pleasing sense of design, which would later be incorpo-

rated into her photography. Gordanier was introduced to photography some 30 years ago after painting in watercolours for over a decade. It provided a way for her to have reference material for her paintings. Soon she fell in love with the camera and ended up “divorcing” her paint brushes, she explains. Her photographic skills were acquired mostly from reading books and through trial and error. That meant a lot of wasted film back in the non-digital age. The support she received from her family was a big influence in her decision to become an artist. Her mom was the center of her universe until she died of breast cancer at the age of 53. “She supported me in anything I wanted to try,” says Gordanier. “But my artistic talent likely came from my dad. He took up oil painting, when he retired from farming, as a hobby to pass the time during those long winter months when the golf course was closed.” Today, photography is her passion. “Just give me colour, a slice

of nature and a private area (no crowds) and I am in heaven,” says Gordanier, who started out as nature photographer. After watching TV shows on animals in East Africa, the aspiring photographer decided to go on her first safari. Since then, she has traveled far and wide to capture those rare photo opportunities. She made her last African safari in 2012. “It’s a nature photographers dream,” says Gordanier. “Nothing, absolutely nothing, can come remotely close to being in the field with thousands of wild animals around you.” Making this trek to Africa, not once, but six times, Gordanier has also photographed the history and wildlife of both Costa Rica and Cuba.

Out

standing in Our field

Our home on native land By Aric McBay Columnist

Out Standing in our Field - As a farmer, I often find myself just looking out over the land - watching the movements of cows, checking the incoming weather or assessing the changing of the seasons. And especially in the late fall, when the Canadian and then American media are abuzz about Thanksgiving, I find myself thinking about the history of that land. I find myself thinking about that fact that nearly all of the land in North America was, to speak bluntly, stolen from indigenous people in one way or another. I’m not sure if working closely with the land makes me think more about this than most people. After all, it’s not just farmland that was stolen, but all kinds of land. Pretty much every institution we encounter in our lives was built on stolen land. In the middle of Kingston there was once a Haudenosaunee village on what is now City Park, and those people were driven out to make room for institutions like

Kingston General Hospital, Queen’s University, a courthouse, and so. Sometimes people would rather forget this. But we can’t. Not just because it would be wrong to ignore injustices that continue to the present day, but because the food we eat is grown on stolen land and because virtually every meal we have includes foods created by indigenous people of the Americas. Most of us learned in school that the native peoples of this continent were “hunter gatherers.” And it’s true that they were really good hunters and really good gatherers. But a lot of them were (and continue to be) really good at growing food. Consider for just a moment the awe-inspiring diversity and importance of crops bred from wild plants by the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Corn. Potatoes. Sweet potatoes. Tomatoes. Peppers both sweet and hot. Most of the beans we eat. Peanuts. All of the squashes, from pumpkins to zucchini and more. And cocoa; they invented chocolate, for goodness sake! That’s just scratching the surface (since we could also talk about

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC . N W O D OU CHAIN Y

sunflowers, various nuts, berries and fruits, as well as wild rice, amaranth, quinoa, arrowroot, maple syrup, and so on). And then are then there are the non-food crops like cotton, tobacco, and rubber. Corn, by tonnage grown, is now the most important food crop in the world. Potatoes are also in the top four, a short list which is rounded out by rice (originally from Asia) and wheat (from the Middle East). The mostly white-fleshed potatoes we eat represent only a tiny sliver of the diversity of potatoes still found in the Andes, which come in a rainbow of colours (blue, red, purple, etc.). The lack of diversity in potatoes spread to Europe made the crop more vulnerable to diseases like the one that triggered the Irish Potato Famine. Many of these foods were grown on a truly impressive scale, and not always in a way that was obvious to European explorers. Indigenous food growth techniques included ways of altering landscapes we often consider to be “wild”—like

forests—by using deliberate small forest fires and other techniques to encourage certain plants to regenerate. Their efforts actually increased the diversity of species and improved the health of the land. It’s a far cry from how settler society treats the land today. We

clearly have a lot to learn from indigenous people. And a lot of injustice to correct. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. He lives and works at a mixed family farm with a dairy herd and a vegetable operation. For more about the vegetable CSA, visit rootradicalrows.com.

Audrey shed new light on value, beauty of family kitchen

R0012989803

Community – My sister Audrey was the one I always went to if I needed the answer to a question. Mother once said she was “wiser beyond her years� whatever that meant. All I knew was that she could pretty well satisfy my curiosity on just about any subject. And so it was one day, after I had spent a glorious afternoon at my little friend Joyce Francis’ house, that I asked Audrey why we never used our parlour, but everything we did, from eating, to playing games, to just sitting around doing our own thing, we were always in the kitchen? “First of all� she said, without giving it more than a few seconds thought, “the parlour is too small to hold all of us, there is no big table there, and there is only one horse-hair-filled settee and a couple twig chairs to sit on, and besides we close it up when winter comes because there is no way to get heat into the room�.

She paused for only a few seconds, “and besides, our kitchen is the nicest room in the house...and certainly the warmest.� Well, that all made perfect sense to me, and I began to see our kitchen in a different light. Everything we needed, other than the beds we slept in, was in that big kitchen, and I looked around and for the first time, really saw the room for what it was. This was where our food was gotten ready for our meals...Mother’s bake table was beside the back door, close to a shelf Father had put up, covered securely with oilcloth where dishes were washed. There was no sink in the kitchen, but a small pump had been anchored to this shelf, which only rarely produced a dribble. This made us go out to the pump in the yard whenever we needed water, which seemed to me to merit a continuous trip with the granite pail, keeping the reservoir full, bath water on Saturday nights, wash water for Mondays. Two small pails were continually replenished for hand-washing on the bench by the back door, and one on the oil-cloth covered shelf for drinking and cooking. On the back wall beside the summer kitchen door was the wood box, close to the Findlay Oval. Standing behind the cook stove was a three-sided tin affair which

was there to supposedly keep the heat of the stove from setting the wall on fire, and burning the place to the ground. And there was the door leading to Mother and Father’s small bedroom, a room which Mother once said was smaller than the broom closet she had in New York. The kitchen took a corner then, and there sat the big oak Barnett Ice Box, kitty-corner, which I thought gave the kitchen a nice touch. And then a long wall, broken up by a window looking out onto the grape arbour, held the old pine table, long enough to sit a dozen people. A bench, just as long as the table, sat under the window, and provided seating for the brothers at meal time. More chairs than we needed, sat around the rest of the table. This was the table that had more useful purposes than any other piece of furniture in the old log house. We ate at it, neighbours played euchre on it at the Saturday night house parties, we five children sat at it at night with two coal oil lamps, one at each end. Mother wrote in her diaries there, Audrey and I worked our way through Eaton’s catalogue, and my three brothers carved, played cards, whittled, and yes, fought like tigers.

A flat pine door, which was never opened, led to the back room upstairs, whose only purpose it seemed to me was to offer me a smooth surface to draw on with stubs of chalk, and with orders that it had to be washed off when I was finished. Another flat wall held Mother’s bake cupboard, an invention I thought was right up there with electric lights, and a real bathtub. This cupboard had a place for flour which seemed to be suspended from somewhere inside, and a door affair which could be rolled up like a wad of paper, vanishing into goodness knows where when she needed something out of the doors. Topping off the whole elegance of this cupboard was a white enamelled surface that could be pulled out to make the work surface larger. I thought that cupboard was one of the best pieces of furniture in the entire house! Like every other kitchen I ever went into in Northcote, there was a creton couch, close to the stove. It served as a bed for my sister Audrey and me when we had company and had to give up ours. It was too narrow to sleep side-by-side, so we had to sleep endto-end, which didn’t please either of us one bit! It would have made sense for Father

to have his noon nap on the couch, but he preferred an old rocking chair, that no one sat in but him. Wainscotting circled the kitchen, and the only other window looked out onto the side yard with a ledge wide enough where Mother could put her geranium pots, when she brought them in in the fall. Braided mats of every shape and size covered the kitchen floor in the winter. My sister Audrey was right. Again! The kitchen was the nicest room in that old log house. And certainly the room that got the most use. It was a place for family fun, a place to fill our bellies, a room where neighbours were greeted, and where the big granite tea pot was always on the back of the stove. There was a coziness there, even on the coldest night, and at a very young age, I knew that the warmth I felt in that old kitchen didn’t come from the Findlay Oval alone.

Tana Gordanier fall show to be held in family home Continued from page 18

Each year at this time, Gordanier opens her home to showcase and sell her wonderfully bright and warm images. The show will feature images from her new found passion of photographing autumn colours, from Algonquin Park to Kingston’s rural routes, as well as some photographs from her wildlife and Cuba collection. This year’s open house runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 13-16 in Red Brick House, 2789 Woodburn

Rd., Joyceville, overlooking the Colonnade Golf and Country Club. Gordanier’s photography has developed over the years into a unique and spectacular art form. She loves colour and says her art show this year will be a testament to that - bright fall colours with oranges and reds. “I just got back from shooting white birch forests and fall colours in lively Ontario,” adds Gordanier. “I almost peed my pants when I saw for the first time in my life an entire forest of white birch with fall colour bushes scattered

in amongst the tree trunks.” In the weeks prior to her open house she also spent time photographing the back streets of Havana, Cuba, focusing on its old windows, doors and flower markets. “So there will be lots of colour in the November art show.” She enjoys seeing people’s reactions to her pictures when they are printed on canvas and look more actual paintings than photographs. “I get a good laugh when I look at my pictures. I can’t believe I actually created them. Sometimes most of the

people I know can’t believe it either. They think all I can do is cook in the Colonnade kitchen and make my famous baked beans. So we have a lot of laughs at my open house art show with ‘Show and Tell’.” Gordanier will have over 40 pictures on display in all sizes. She tries to keep prices reasonable being as it’s just her hobby, not her main source of income. “If that was the case I would be living on a park bench. The phrase ‘starving artist’ was created for a reason.” This talented artist always has words

of encouragement for aspiring photographers. .“To me the most important thing for an artist to keep in mind is to shoot, paint, or create whatever turns our own crank,” explains Gordanier. “Don’t create for others. The process of creating is what makes me giggle like a little girl playing with her dolls. It’s the journey, not the destination, that is important.” For details on Gordanier’s photos and the open house visit www.tanagorganerica.

Venus In Fur sizzles Columnist

Theatre Kingston’s next production, Venus In Fur, is raw, sexy, edgy, provocative and very funny. Playwright David Ives offers a wild ride exploring male/female relationships. If ever the word multi-layered fits a play’s description, this is it. David Ives’ works typically weave nuances and layers, along with the humor audiences expect of him. Lurking underneath the humor are powerful social issues. On the surface, Venus In Fur is just kinky fun. But it’s a turbulent ride, with no forewarning when you are about to plummet over a peak and into the depths of male-female confusion. “It’s a deceptively simple play,” said Brett Christopher, artistic producer for Theatre Kingston and the director of Venus In Fur. “The construct of the play is that a female actor comes to an audition room to audition for a play with the playwright/director. She’d do anything to get the part. As the plot unravels and ravels, it explores a web of social issues. It looks at power, malefemale relationships, sexism. There are incredibly strong themes that you don’t

necessarily see on the first pass.” As Vanda, the character who is auditioning, dives into the script, the actor and the role blur. Vanda becomes increasingly challenging and forceful. It’s an odd combination where the actor becomes simultaneously funny, sexy and mysteriously dark. Although Theatre Kingston has had the rights to the play for two-andhalf years, and could have staged the Canadian premier, Christopher decided to hold off. Instead, it had its Canadian debut in Toronto last year. “It’s a challenging piece for an audience,” said Christopher. “We determined that we needed to build up to it. Over the past year, we’ve run blue/ orange, Vigil and Red. These are all plays that stir a debate. The shows are not telling you what to think, but they are telling you to think. This year, after Red, I think we’ve reached a place where the community is ready. We launched a survey after Red and asked our audiences what they most want when they leave a piece of theatre; 88 per cent said “think” and “debate.” That was really heartening. With Venus In Fur, we have a synergy of work we love to produce and what an audience wants to experience.” Venus in Fur had its debut off-

Broadway at Classic Stage Company in New York in 2010. The play was a monster success and moved to the much larger Lyceum Theatre Broadway setting in 2011. It closed on July 17, 2012. Unfortunately, the leads, Nina Arianda and Hugh Dancy, had other theatrical and film commitments and the show could not be extended. When I first saw Venus In Fur on Broadway it became one of my favorite plays. As the stage went dark at the end of the show and before the curtain had dropped, the audience at the Lyceum Theatre jumped to its feet. We’d witnessed magic, a masterful production of a great new play. A week later Nina Arianda won the Tony Award for her role as Vanda. In the Theatre Kingston production, Shane Carty takes the role of writerdirector, Thomas Novacheck, and Charlotte Gowdy plays auditioning actor, Vanda Jordan. Charlotte Gowdy is the associate artistic director of the Thousand Islands Playhouse. Last February, she directed the scorching Theatre Kingston production of Red. Gowdy is an actor who can capture Vanda’s quirkiness. Shane Carty is a Kingston native and a drama graduate of Queen’s University

and Stratford Festival Birmingham THOMAS: It’s not S&M porn. Conservatory. He has been with the VANDA: You don’t think it’s porn? Stratford Festival for nine seasons and Or porn-ish...? For medieval times, was a founding member of Theatrefront. 18-whatever, I mean?” Taking on the demanding roles is Vanda’s brashness and lack of pretense something both actors appreciate. morph unnoticeably into what is nothing “It’s a hard play to do; that’s what I less than a brilliant philosopher under like about it,” said Carty. “It’s not often the street-smarts surface: “And Vanda you do a play about theatre.” really is Venus, right? Am I crazy? She’s As for humor, it’s throughout, as in like Venus in disguise or something....” this typical exchange: It isn’t long before underlying themes “THOMAS: Have you read it? emerge and challenge the audience. VANDA: I kinda flipped through it “VANDA [as DUNAYEV]: In our quick on the train. So what can you tell society, a woman’s only power is me? This is like based on something, through men yadda yadda I want to see right?

THOMAS [as KUSHEMSKI]: You only say that because you yourself are so individual. VANDA [as DUNAYEV]: A man usually says that to a woman whose individuality he is about to undermine.” Twists and turns erupt everywhere as Vanda changes roles in the blink of an eye. One moment she’s Vanda, the actor; the next, she’s the character she’s auditioning to play. “It’s a comedy,” said Gowdy. “It is entertaining, but it’s like a vehicle for real issues.” “It’s about something,” said Carty. “A lot of times, comedy is not really about anything. This one’s about big ideas that have been around for

millennia.” Preparation for the role of Vanda put Gowdy in a unique situation. She explained that she’s been going to the gym. She paused and laughed. “I have to appear in my underwear. And it sounds flaky, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what being a goddess means and what being a woman means. I’ve been reading a lot about femininity, women and sex, and watching little video clips like Marlene Dietrich, and doing some dialect work. And I’ve been reading the play over and over again.” She explained that much of her preparation for the role has been internal. “When I directed Red, I was learning about someone else,” she said. “This has been more

She is a little timid and shy, however, once she feels comfortable, her true personality shines through.

about learning about myself and how I can play Starring: Shane Carty and Charlotte Gowdy this role of a goddess inhabiting this character.” Set/Costume Designer: Brandon Kleiman The play itself is about a play, so there’s a bit of Lighting Designer: Michelle Ramsay an Escher quality to the plot. Sound Designer: Matt Rogalsky “It’s not often you do a play about theatre,” said Stage Manager: Beatrice Campbell Carty. “It’s kind of fun. I’m an actor, but know Assistant Stage Manager: Alysse Szatkowski a bunch of playwrights and directors. There are Production Manager: Bill Penner remarks in this play that I’ve heard directors say. Assistant Director: Chris Blackwell These are awful things to admit, but these are realistic portraits.” Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin Every piece of this production is crucial to its success: the actors, director, lighting, sound, costumes. The play is like a puzzle of a thousand pieces. Each must fit for the image to be clear. Theatre Kingston has what it takes to pull this off. To find out who comes out on top in this 90-minute play (no intermission), you’ll have to see the show. Venus in Fur will be the first Theatre Kingston production staged at the Studio Theatre of the Isabel Bader Centre, the stunning new facility at 390 King Street West. Venus In Fur previews on Nov. 20, opens on Nov. 21 and runs until Dec. 7. Don’t wait to get tickets. I expect this the be the hottest piece of theatreóboth for on-stage chemistry and demand for ticketsóin the region all year. For tickets, Shane Carty and Charlotte Gowdy star in Venus In Fur, Theatre Kingston’s upcoming production, which go to: wwwtheisabeltickets.ca. Cast and crew: Director: Brett Christopher
