Mayor asks: Can you put a price on preserving council’s integrity? being utilized. If they’re being utilized often then I think it’s a good thing to know that people are being held to account,” he explained. Attacking the motives and habits of a council member through the media is one example where an independent watchdog could be useful, Gerretsen added. The mayor noted the city has an annual operating budget of more than $300 million, and spending $50,000 a year is small price to pay to preserve council’s integrity. “I’d say that’s a good investment,” said the mayor, adding: “How much money is too much money to preserve the integrity of council?” Council voted by a narrow 7-6 margin at its first meeting of 2014 to hire the city’s first permanent, on-call integrity commissioner to investigate complaints launched by either politicians or members of the public. “I don’t think we can be self-policing,” argued Coun. Brian Reitzel in support of the role.

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Kingston’s mayor doesn’t expect the city’s new integrity commissioner will become a money pit to investigate one frivolous complaint after another. Concerns were raised during council’s recent hiring debate that the $50,000 annual budget to retain someone to investigate complaints of council conduct is not nearly enough money. “We are looking at well over $100,000 a year,” predicted Coun. Bill Glover, based on estimates that the integrity commissioner, likely a lawyer, will charge at least $250 an hour and will easily exceed a 200 hour workload every year. There’s no proof to support his claim. But, even if it turns out to be true, Mayor Mark Gerretsen says the end result will certainly justify the financial means. “It depends how much they’re

However, critics of the new position say it’s not only a waste of money but also a potential avenue to launch a witch hunt. Coun. Glover, who admits he was questioned by an integrity commissioner during an ongoing independent probe into an unrelated matter, says making the position permanent at City Hall has the potential to become a “kangaroo court” when councillors don’t see eye to eye on issues. Mayor Gerretsen disagrees, noting the arm’s length investigator will rise above political feuding. “That’s the whole point of an integrity commissioner to prevent this kangaroo court-style of events.” He found it interesting that council was almost unanimous a year ago when it voted to launch a study into the pros and cons of hiring an integrity commissioner to interpret the city’s own Code of Conduct and investigate complaints, yet a committee’s recommendation to finalize the part-time position was barely

approved. Coun. Rick Downes was the only opponent of the study in January 2013, and continued his opposition when the hiring was approved in January 2014. He says councillors should have the “guts” to bring forward a censure motion against a colleague if they feel the Code has been violated. Others believe an integrity commissioner hired on retainer represents a good middle ground where concerns can be raised without political interference or drawing the clerk or city solicitor offices into political matters. However, council still has the authority to decide whether to act on the commissioner’s report. City solicitor Hal Linscott says it will take two or three months to draft a Request for Proposals and seek applicants for the new position. “The integrity commissioner won’t need an office (in City Hall). They mostly work from their own space. If they need to be present here we can find a desk for them.”

Local artist uses social media to grow business By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - If you’ve been around the Kingston area for a while, you’re probably familiar with the work of artist Norm Pengelly. His editorial cartoons have appeared in a number of local newspapers over the years, including the Kingston Heritage, and more recently a number of Pengelly’s cartoons and drawings have gone viral on social media. Yet art was always more of a side project for Pengelly, who also works full time as a real estate agent. “I wasn’t doing it for the money, it was more to be noticed and get feedback from it,” he says of his early days as an editorial cartoonist, noting that the papers only paid him about $10 per cartoon. “I’d be doing it regardless just on a piece of paper in front of me.” Then last year, Pengelly discovered social media, and found it to be an excellent tool for expanding the reach of his art, allowing him to not only reach a large audience, but also see an immediate reaction to his work. He created a new brand for his business and called it Pengellyink, named after the signature he uses in the bottom right hand corner of his cartoons. By sharing his art on the Pengellyink Facebook and Twitter pages, he has produced a number of viral cartoons and drawings on a variety of subjects from NHL hockey to Toronto mayor Rob Ford. Last week, a cartoon about Leafs goalie James Reimer earned Pengelly over 250 new followers in 24 hours, and received nearly 400 retweets.

“For me, I want to see instant gratification,” he says. “I want to see somebody liking what I’ve done or commenting back or sharing. And with [social media] I get it immediately. I can look at my Facebook page and I can see that something has been liked 2,000 times and shared 1,000 times.” So what does it take to create a successful cartoon? It actually has more to do with concepts than artistic ability, Pengelly says. In fact, one of his most successful cartoons yet in terms of shares and views featured a photograph of the infamous meth cooking Winnebago from the television show Breaking Bad and a cartoon Mayor Rob Ford knocking on the door to get his fix. “You can be a great illustrator and if you’re not funny it doesn’t matter. It’s not going to happen. You can be incredibly funny and not be the greatest drawer and get further because people are more drawn to the humour than they are the actual artwork.” Catering cartoons to specific audiences, such as NHL hockey fans, is also key to ensuring as many people as possible see it. As a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, many of Pengelly’s cartoons feature the team. “I send them to the Toronto Maple Leafs fan site and there’s a guy who posts almost everything I send him. I can get 80,000 Facebook views by sending a Toronto Maple Leaf cartoon. So you realize how easy it is to go outside [Kingston] if you’re specific to a topic, as long as you get on the right topic and send it to the right person.” And all the fame has affected the

bottom line as well. By growing likes and followers through this exposure, Pengelly has been able to generate business from drawing commissioned cartoons of families, as well as still-life portraits of people’s loved ones – both humans and pets. Clients have come from all over the country and even from the U.S. Pengelly hopes that the increased exposure will also assist in getting his writing noticed, so he can expand his business in that direction as well. So far, he has written three children’s books: Local artist and author Norm Pengelly has successDon’t Forget fully used the power of social media to expand his About Me, about illustration business.

Simple ways to extend the life of your vehicle According to data from TrueCar.com, in 2012 the average new car cost $30,500. That’s a considerable expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise. Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. * Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. * Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, many of today’s newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your owner’s manual for manufacturer recommendations regarding oil changes, and don’t forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle’s oil. * Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are

allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal. * Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires that are under-inflated will negatively impact your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires’ life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. * Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your car’s life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That’s because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicle’s gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicle’s performance. So unless your car is running on empty, avoid refilling its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station. * Take care of your vehicle’s interior, too. Caring for a car is not just about being good to what’s under the hood. Caring for the car’s interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. The longer you enjoy driving your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it. Preserve the vehicle’s door and window seals; clean the dashboard, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle’s interior, whether it’s cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the car’s interior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.

Kingston Heritage – It may be the hottest winter commodity right now, but it’s in short supply. Residents searching for salt are finding it difficult to buy it, as many stores are sold out. It’s not surprising, given this winter season has so far brought a large amount of freezing rain and a vicious ice storm. While the recent thaw has managed to put a dent in the thick ice that is firmly coated to roads and sidewalks, it remains a problem that homeowners and city crews are trying to chip away at. The recent thaw also revealed several new potholes. “It’s been a tough winter,” agreed Jim Keech, president of Utilities Kingston and commissioner of the public works department. “We’ve had some trying events. We’ve had the fire, the ice storm, lots of snow. I think at this point people would like a bit of a break,” Keech said, noting he can’t find salt for his own driveway. Councillor Sandy Berg says she understands public frustration over the seemingly slow pace of ice removal, but says it will take time and sunshine to get walkways back to the concrete surface. “We ourselves are frustrated with our inability to clear these walks and our equipment breakages these conditions are contributing to,” she wrote on her city blog page. Road and sidewalk plows are designed to remove snow, not several inches of ice, she explained. In addition to constant plowing and snow removal, Keech says crews have literally dumped tons of sand and salt on roads and sidewalks to try and keep them passable. The city stocked up on sand and salt prior to the

winter season, but the four domes that house its supplies have been used much more than in recent years. Is Kingston in danger of running out of sand and salt, just like retail stores? “We basically contact suppliers and try and get additional salt and sand mixture. I don’t think we’re overly concerned,” Keech explained. Despite slippery conditions, the city has not seen an increase in the number of injuryrelated liability claims. “Many people recognize the extraordinary weather we’ve had, the ice storm in particular, and appreciate there are only a certain number of things the city can do to address that,” explained city solicitor Hal Linscott. He insists the city has not been negligent in its winter control responsibilities to keep streets and sidewalks passable. “If you are hurt on a municipal facility, that doesn’t make the city at fault. The question is ‘Has the city met a reasonable standard of work?’” Obviously the extreme weather conditions are very relevant to those questions.” Injury or damage claims occurring on municipal property are reviewed on a case-bycase basis, Linscott explained. The city has not publicly advertised the fact that it’s also been picking up fallen brush and tree limbs from private property. If the downed branches were placed on the curb, crews have hauled it away free of charge. “I don’t think there was a (news) reON D TE lease sent out telling people to do SELEC NAL O S A SE WEAR that,” said Mayor Mark Gerretsen. MENS He added: “If people have been putting their branches out by the streets, crews have been going through picking them up.” SuiTS & WiNTER COATS Most officials agree this has not SpORT COATS & JACkETS been a typical winter like the kind we’ve experienced in recent years, especially with the amount of ice RiCE RiCE build up.

New year, new developments Davis Tannery Brownfield eyed by for Amherst Island wind project local developer for new housing Heritage News – After extensive debate, presentations to the Ontario Government and multiple protests by residents, the Ministry of Environment has deemed the application for the Amherst Island wind project complete. The decision came with the start of the new year and residents of Loyalist Township and members of Council could not be more dissatisfied. “It is frustrating when it appears that we are just being ignored again,” commented Coun. Hegadorn at the Jan. 13 council meeting. “It appears that they will keep getting extensions until they run out of reasons and excuses to apply for them and our concerns mean very little to them at this point.” The deputy mayor and mayor also voiced their feelings on the issue and regretfully adopted the newest revised documents put forth by the Ministry. Mayor Lowry shook his head and simply stated, “I just can’t believe it.” Loyalist Township Council and residents aren’t the only ones who can’t believe it. Senator Bob Runciman also feels strongly about the project approval and is deeply concerned about the bird habitats that will be affected by the wind turbines. “Here we have 34 species of birds at risk and we know that these are important bird areas that are recognized internationally and they are significant quarters for birds.” explained Runciman. “It will be a dereliction of duty if the Ministry of Environment allows this to go ahead.” Runciman went on to explain that a recent Ministry of Natural Resources bridge project was shut down in Ottawa because of concerns over swallow nests under the bridge, and yet this project continues to move forward. Runciman is also concerned about the visual impact that these turbines will have on Kingston and he urges the City of Kingston to consider this fact and

voice their concerns. “We are talking about the equivalent of a 50-story building and there will be 30 of them on the horizon just outside of Kingston,” said Runciman. “That is a huge visual impact and I think they [City of Kingston] have some degree of obligation to see if this is interfering with their official plan. Although it is outside of their boundaries, I would think that they would have some sort of an obligation to protect the interests of their own residents and file their concerns with the Ministry of Environment. I left that message with Councilor Paterson but he has yet to return my call and I am not optimistic that he will.” As a tertiary issue, Runciman is concerned about the cost associated with this project as well. Any power that is generated by the turbines has to go back into the grid in Ontario, but with all of the power being generated, there is a surplus. That surplus is being sold to places like Michigan, Minnesota and Quebec at a reduced rate, explained Runciman. Meanwhile Ontarians pay extremely high hydro rates that are expected to rise by 45 per cent over the next few years. “It is costing us, as Ontarians, millions of dollars but yet they are forging ahead with this and that is the definition of insanity as far as I am concerned. I just don’t get it. The whole thing is mind boggling and there seems to be very little common sense involved,” added Runciman. The government is now inviting public comment on the proposal until March 8 and Runciman is urging Kingstonians and residents of Loyalist Township to voice their concerns. “I hope that people will flood the Ministry with concerns and I hope that the City of Kingston will help out and voice their thoughts as well. If residents want to see action they should lobby the council and their MPP about their concerns. I am not overly optimistic, but I think we have to give it our best shot to make sure that our views are on the record.”

Kingston Heritage - The City of Kingston may have found a company that’s willing to buy and develop the pollution-scarred Davis Tannery lands. A staff report to council Jan. 21 recommends a preliminary housing submission by Jay Patry Enterprises Inc. be advanced to the next stage in order to submit a more detailed proposal. The offer from the Kingston-based developer was the only one received after the city launched a Request for Information process for the Inner Harbour site last fall. “As there is only one proponent it is recommended the process include negotiations with the goal of achieving a redevelopment proposal,” said the report to council by Commissioner Cynthia Beach. Jay Patry Enterprises is the same company behind the construction of a 500-bedroom apartment complex at Princess and Victoria Streets that was the scene of a spectacular fire and dramatic crane rescue in December. City officials say despite the “recent unfortunate events” the Kingston-based developer remains interested in pursuing the purchase and redevelopment of the 15 hectare (37 acre) Tannery lands. Once the largest of its kind in the British Empire, the former tannery was the scene of heavy industrial uses from 1867 to 1970, and has remained vacant ever since it closed. Even though decades of heavy metal contamination have left the site unattractive to potential buyers, who may not want to assume the environmental risks, the location is considered a strategic property. City officials say it

has enormous potential for residential infill, transportation connections to the downtown, waterfront trails and public parkland. The Tannery lands are touted as large enough to meet Kingston’s housing growth needs for an entire year. Another firm, Rideau Renewal Inc., got title to the Tannery site following a municipal tax sale seven years ago. But because Rideau Renewal has been unable to develop the site, the city is planning to exercise its option to repurchase the vacant property by the end of 2014. To prepare for that possibility, city officials launched a process last year to determine whether it can repurchase the site, and then flip it to a new owner. This will ultimately depend on whether Jay Patry Enterprises can convince the city that it has the ability to undertake a soil clean-up and construct a residential subdivision. In the coming months, the city will be seeking detailed information on 17 criteria that includes the developer’s team, environmental remediation strategy, financing and project plan. Patry’s initial submission indicates a redevelopment plan with up to 1,200 mixed housing units on the site bordered by River Street to the south, Rideau Street to the west, Belle Park to the north and the Cataraqui River to the east. Council is expected to make a final decision on Patry’s detailed application by June. Under Kingston’s Brownfields plan, developers can defer up to 80 per cent of property taxes for a decade in order to offset clean-up costs. This would mark the third attempt to transform the property from industrial to residential uses since the 1980s.

editorial

Put down the remote and pick up a book Mandy Marciniak Reporter mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been an avid reader. For as long as I can remember, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had a book or two on the go. Part of my love for reading stems from my grandmother, who was often seen reading trashy romance novels or tabloids, but she was still reading. It counts. As I grew up, my love and appreciation for literature grew and in high school I fell in love with Shakespeare and Canadian authors. This love grew as I entered university. As an English major, I read countless novels over the course of a school year. Today I find myself reading less and less and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not because I love it less, it is simply because life is getting in the way. I find it difficult to make time for reading, especially when much of my day is spent looking at a computer screen. By the end of the day, my mind and my eyes are exhausted and the only thing I seem to be able to focus on is the television screen (and most of the time I fall asleep watching that).

Last week I was surfing on Netflix for something to watch and I stumbled upon a new category â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Movies Based on Booksâ&#x20AC;?. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really sure why, but this angered me greatly. I know that the majority of movies today stem from books, but the category still surprised me. It made me feel like the movies were trying to replace the books. As if Netflix was suggesting that viewers watch the movie instead of reading the book. I may be reading too much into this, but that is certainly how it made me feel. It also made me think about how many people actually just watch the movie instead of reading the book. If I was an author of one of those stories, I would be insulted if people skipped over my written version and just watched the movie. It is like reading the Coles Notes version instead of the actual book. The movie inevitably leaves holes in the story and can never cover everything the book does. I know there is a lot of debate over which is better sometimes, but in my opinion, the book is always better. The book gives more information, more character development and, most important, the book lets your imagination take over and develop your own images of char-

acters and scenes. That is the best part of reading â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the escape and immersion into the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. Another thing that has occurred more and more in recent years is the replacement of book covers with a newer version that shows the movie poster. As a buyer this irritates me greatly and I always search for the non-movie cover version when I am buying books; however, as I thought about this trend more and more, I realized that it is making more people buy the books and read them. They associate the book with a famous actor or a movie that is getting a lot of buzz and then become interested in the written version and that is ultimately a good thing. So I guess I am okay with the situation working in reverse. If people read more because of movies then that is fine, but replacing books with movies is not okay. Overall, I just think people should read more, myself included, and sadly this activity is being brushed aside by so many of us. Reading needs to become a priority again, as it was many years ago before television. I am confident that I can replace some of my television watching with book watching and surely you can too!

The good, the bad and the ugly of comic book superhero movies The good:

Craig Bakay Reporter editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Okay, we all read comic books, some of us more than others. But no one ever wanted to admit it because it was a sure path to ridicule. However, in a recent cosmic event, in which the universe somehow righted itself, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become somewhat cool to like superheroes, especially the movie versions. True that some prefer to remain in the closet, but really, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to come out as a comics nerd, geek, freak, whatever. So, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to awaken your inner alter ego but were afraid to ask, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a primer on the Hollywood heroes. There are some decent offerings out there, many of which have readily found acceptance in the mainstream market (probably due in no small part to the buckets of money they all made). And, like anything else, there are some not-so-good ones that are probably best for when they come on TV, rather than adding to all but the most comprehensive collections. Finally, there are one or two real stinkers out there.

â&#x20AC;˘ The Avengers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arguably the best superhero movie yet. The special effects folks in Hollywood really have their act together these days. But what sets this one apart is that there are a whole bunch of things in there for the fans, like Hulk vs Thor, Iron Man vs Captain America and guess what, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no attempt to do anything other than entertain. â&#x20AC;˘ Batman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tim Burton changed the world when he actually took a comic book seriously and gave us Jack Nicholson as the Joker and Michael Keaton as the title character. Excellent art direction too â&#x20AC;˘ Man of Steel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I wanna say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grokâ&#x20AC;? but then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to have read Stranger in a Strange Land. Suffice it to say, this one looks at a superheroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psyche in a way that many (even non-superhero movies) could only hope to achieve. â&#x20AC;˘ Captain America â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just plain good. â&#x20AC;˘ Iron Man â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Another milestone movie in that it had a real story to tell. â&#x20AC;˘ The Dark Knight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heath Ledger as the Joker . . . maybe the best performance ever. â&#x20AC;˘ X-Men 1.5 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brian Singer knows his mutants. Be sure to get the 1.5 version as opposed to the theatrical release in which some moron producer showed he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to edit.

Cultivating literacy is key our future Heritage editorial - It may just be the understatement of the century to say that the world is changing faster than ever. Every day seems to bring new revolutions in technology, the economy or even in the environment, as the old ways of doing things are upended and consigned to the history e-books. If Canadian citizens are to thrive in a new world order where robots rule and unskilled labour is part-time and low-pay, they need to be motivated, competent and ready to adapt to this frenetic 21st century roller coaster theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call life.Â And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some bad news on that score. The Conference Board of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest study ranks Canada eighth of the 13 OECD countries for adult â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;low-literacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which translates to about four in 10 being unable to compete in the modern knowledge-based economy. This ranks well behind the Scandinavian countries, where that number is closer to two in 10. We believe that the surest way to improve adult literacy levels is by building a culture of life-long learning, in the home, from day one. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re celebrating Family Literacy Day on Jan. 27, and we hope you will join us. The instituting organization, ABC Life Literacy Canada, has been working to promote the observance since its inception 16 years ago, and their programs have been embraced by schools and libraries across Canada. This year, ABC would like to see Canadians take 15 minutes each day to engage in some form literacy-based activity in the home. They emphasize that the chosen activity neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disruptive to the workaday routine. For instance, one of their 15 recommendations is to tell knock-knock jokes while putting away the dishes. Another idea is to write messages to your family on sticky notes and post them around the house. Anything that engages the mind and gets it thinking about words and their meanings works perfectly. So give the Netflix a bit of rest, and maybe break out a board game or two. Unless you have a Sheldon (of Big Bang Theory fame)-like memory, learning isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something you achieve by osmosis. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be active and live it.Â Â More and more, it seems the only answer economists and industry experts have to the question of what will our children do in the new economy is that they will have to create a job for themselves. Clearly, they will need every advantage they can get.Â

â&#x20AC;˘ Watchmen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The most faithful book adaptation ever and excellent because of it. â&#x20AC;˘ X-Men First Class â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Even though this messes with Marvel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;canonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still an excellent flick. â&#x20AC;˘ Ghost Rider â&#x20AC;&#x201D; GR was star Nicolas Cageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fav as a kid. It shows. Also, Sam Elliot at his finest in maybe his best role yet. The bad\ â&#x20AC;˘ Daredevil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Three words: Ben Affleck sucks. â&#x20AC;˘ Catwoman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Even Halle Berry couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save this turkey. â&#x20AC;˘ Electra â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Watch it a hundred times if you can. You still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. â&#x20AC;˘ The Hulk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Until Mark Ruffalo in the Avengers, TV was the only medium that managed anything halfway decent with the green guy. â&#x20AC;˘ Batman Returns and Batman and Robin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ugly and Uglier. â&#x20AC;˘ Green Lantern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been great . . . wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The downright ugly Green Hornet - Abysmal, simply abysmal. Superman IV - Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to put Richard Pryor in a Superman movie?

LEASE FOR ONLY

Kingston Heritage – Residents of an upscale subdivision in Westbrook do not like the scale and type of housing that’s being planned next door. A developer wants to construct 66 townhomes on vacant land that’s to be accessed from 3566 Princess St., near Westbrook Road. Current residents of Kananaskis Drive, who paid more than

$400,000 for their large singlefamily homes, say adding dozens of townhomes to smaller lots adjacent to their backyards is a poor fit for the neighbourhood. “These simply don’t fit with the existing structures in size, style, building type, architecture or cladding and these new townhomes should not be allowed to set a precedent for being compatible,” said Westbrook Meadows resident Paul Rose.

They said the vacant land was initially earmarked for a seniors’ apartment or small-scale commercial development, to which they have no objection. However, they complain the revised plan for townhouses not only represents poor planning but a betrayal of the premium investment they made for their houses. “We are on a street of houses valued at $420,000 to $800,000 range

Townhouse project in Westbrook raises ire of neighbours and the introduction of lower end townhouses will evidently decrease the appeal and values of our properties,” wrote Louis Tavakoli. Residents called on the city to follow a similar practice in Greenwood Park subdivision in the east end where residential development has a more acceptable transition from different sizes and prices of housing. The townhouse proposal was the focus of a public meeting by the planning committee Jan. 16, and

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month prepaid subscription

residents were expected to show up to voice their concerns in person. As is common practice, city planners won’t make a recommendation to the committee of the fate of the project’s zoning bylaw amendment and draft plan of subdivision application until sometime after the public meeting. Developer S.S.B. Associates has assembled detailed environmental, traffic, sewer capacity, storm water and other studies in support of its application for 66 townhouses divided into 16 blocks on an Lshaped street, noting access to the 3.6 hectare (9 acre) property will be from Princess Street, plus an extension to Sproule Street, and a pedestrian walkway to Kananaskis Drive. A consultant’s report says lots in the proposed Westbrook Meadows South development will be about 20-feet wide, but deep enough to accommodate two vehicles in each driveway. On the issue of building townhouses near much larger houses, the consultant says the project is an “opportunity to diversify the existing housing stock in the area” and is consistent with the city’s urban intensification policies. Residents of nearby Kananaskis Drive says they were required to sign a restrictive convenant that outlines acceptable building material upgrades, and the proposed townhouses likely won’t face the same conditions. “Amending a perfect compatible bylaw to allow for a high density cluster of townhouses is an inappropriate means of making money on the backs of both a young and well established community of citizens,” wrote Patricia Bland to city planners.

Hall rental fees on hold following protest from a host of user groups Gazette News — The controversial new hall rental fees in South Frontenac have been put on hold until the various recreation committees in the Township can have another look at the situation, following a remarkably civil protest at Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting last week in Sydenham. The fees were approved by Council in December, following recommendations from the Central Rec Committee, after consultation with the four district

rec committees. However, a breakdown in communications meant that many of the long-time hall user groups didn’t find out until just before their January events, and it came as a bit of a shock. “We didn’t find out until one Saturday morning when I got a call from Sarah Sleeth (who books the halls in Storrington and does the cleaning),” said Sharon Patterson, who represented the Storrington Retirees group. “We are a non-profit group of 65 members, most of whom are widows and we meet for lunches and shuffleboard. “These fees would cost us about

$340 per month or $1,600 quarterly, which we simply can’t come up with.” But Patterson had an even more compelling argument against the new fees. “We’ve also provided considerable inventory to the Storrington Centre, some of which was bought with a Horizon Grant, including a $5,400 dishwasher,” she said. “And we have an agreement that we’d be allowed to use the centre free of charge. “That’s an agreement we hope you’ll honor.” The succession of speakers that followed echoed Patterson’s remarks, citing poor communication and a long history (including agreements) of groups having raised funds for the halls and been promised free usage. And it wasn’t just the Storrington Centre at issue. Cheryl Bird told a similar story regarding the regular users of the Harris Park Hall in Perth Road Village. Several former

reeves, mayors and council members substantiated the user groups’ agreements. Former Storrington Reeve Ron Sleeth said: “at the time of amalgamation, all four townships agreed that since Storrington Hall was built with government grants, it would be free for groups to use in perpetuity.” Sleeth also issued a warning to the current Council, based on advice he received from his grandfather, also a local politician. “My grandfather told me,” he said. “‘If you pick a fight with a young person, they may hurt you, but if you pick a fight with an older person, they will kill you.” Sleeth’s remarks were echoed by former Coun. Fran Willis, Coun. Wilma Kenny and Mayor Bill Lake. But it wasn’t just the smaller groups who would feel a significant pinch from the new fees. Council received a letter from Don Amos, director of Northern Frontenac Community Services Corporation, noting that programs offered at the Storrington Centre and Harris Park alone would cost the corpora-

tion $7,800 that hadn’t been budgeted for. Mayor Gary Davison noted that the services NFCSC provides are ones the Township couldn’t afford any other way. In the end, following a unanimous apology from each Council member for the poor communication, Davison made an executive decree that “the way I see it, this document (the hall rental fee schedule) has no validity at all” and fees were put on hold until the rec committees can have another go at it. Davison (as well as Storrington rep Coun. Cam Naish) did note that it costs about $300,000 a year to run the Township halls and that the Storrington Centre alone just got a new $20,000 roof. But, while some form of user fees were probably coming, the ones that had been adopted simply weren’t acceptable.

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

Director faces inherent conflict of art and success Columnist

Mark Rothko (Marcus Rothkowitz) arrived at Ellis Island in New York City as a pre-teen in the winter of 1913. After arriving in the US, the family moved to Portland, Oregon. Winning a scholarship to Yale, Rothko headed to the east coast. Rothko found Yale to be elitist and racist. He moved to New York City and studied at the New York School of Design. In New York, he discovered the avant garde and would become one of the world’s most important modernist artists. Rothko thought art could help humans transcend the spiritual emptiness of the modern world. To him, art freed unconscious energy. His paintings sold for $150 to $750 at the Guggenheim in 1945. Today, each of his pieces sells for tens of millions of dollars. Theatre Kingston’s production of the John Logan’s award-winning play Red, which runs from

Jan. 30 (preview on Jan. 29) until Feb. 15, explores Rothko’s art and artistic integrity. The play opened in London in late 2009 and moved to Broadway in 2010. It won six Tony Awards, including Best Play, and three Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Play. At every level, from direction to cast and crew, Theatre Kingston’s production of Red is staffed by stellar theatre folk. Director Charlotte Gowdy is in a pivotal position in bringing this work to Kingston’s professional theatre company’s stage. Randy Hughson, on leave from the Stratford Festival, plays the role of Rothko. Famed set designer Peter Hartwell has transformed the Baby Grand Theatre into Mark Rothko’s Bowery Street studio, circa 1958. “I’m excited to work with this play in Kingston,” Gowdy said. “I think this town has great minds, academically and intellectually. In a way, what this play is saying is let go of that a little bit. Get out of your mind and let yourself feel. Get out of your head. I hope it inspires the Kingston audi-

city.” Gowdy explained that Rothko wasn’t a nature lover. “He was a real city beast,” she said. “I could see why he ended up in New York and wanted to stay there. There’s a vitality and a sense of possibilities in the city. There’s a sense of greatness and dreams. Walking around, I felt the massive sense of hope and work and the sense that we’re all in it together.” She said she found a sense of ruggedness on the streets. “For Canadians, the ruggedness has to do with the weather,” she said. “In New York, they have a different kind of ruggedness. New Yorkers can be brash, but they’re also beautiful and experience life fully. I found an incredible theatre scene that I have never experienced.” She said her exploration of New York enriched her appreciation of Rothko. “I have a better intuitive approach to the play,” she said. “I’ll trust my intuition, which is a large part of directing.” When she was offered the director’s role for Red, Gowdy had an ideal list of hopes for cast and crew. “I made a list of a dream team to work on this,” she said. “I got them all.” Gowdy says that theatre lovers who 649 Justus Dr don’t know Rothko’s work will be inspired by the artist and visual art.

ence more to feel than to think and to consider their own souls and whether or not they are taking care of their souls.” It’s also a play that explores the meaning of success in the artistic world. “It looks at succeeding in more than one sense,” said Gowdy. “In one sense it looks at the question of whether you’re successful if you’re famous or if you follow your heart. It’s about being true to your own integrity. The other idea about succeeding is how does one succeed the people who came before. We take over from those who came before us. It’s about the young and the old and grappling with that transition. Success makes us feel conflicted. We want it and we don’t want it. Artists are very conflicted around success and fame.” Charlotte Gowdy, who is also the associate artistic producer at the Thousand Islands Playhouse, grew up in Prince Edward Island. She is a wellrounded artist. She started her arts career in dance, heading to the National Ballet School in Toronto. She also plays violin. When she was accepted into an International Baccalaureate program in British Columbia, she gave up dance and moved into acting. One of the most important roles in her early career was that of Abigail in The Crucible. “It was during The Crucible when I realized I wanted to be an actor,” she said. She eventually ended up at the National Theatre School in Montreal. “I always knew I wanted to be in the performing arts,” she said. “My parents have been a big support. In times when they’ve seen me stumble, they sometimes made suggestions not to do with theatre, at which point I’d get angry and pursue theatre with even greater intensity. I got to the point a few years out of theatre school when I realized that it may seem competitive, but we’re all in this together. A girlfriend told me, ‘I just auditioned for this show; you should go audition too.’ That support was a huge revelation for me.” Now she’s taken on the mammoth task of bringing Red to Kingston’s Baby Grand stage. In the play, we meet Mark Rothko, circa 1958, when he was awarded a major commission from the Seagrams for The Four Seasons restaurant. While on a trip to Europe, Rothko told John Fischer, publisher of Harper’s Magazine, that he intended to paint, “something that will ruin the appetite of every sonof-a-bitch who ever eats in the room.” He considered the restaurant’s atmosphere pretentious. He returned his cash advance to Seagram. The murals went into storage until 1968 and they now hang in London, Japan and Washington. In 1970, Rothko committed suicide, slicing his arms open with a razor. Charlotte Gowdy visited New York recently. She wanted to follow Rothko’s footsteps and absorb the energy that Rothko felt on the streets. “I wanted to see Rothko’s paintings,” she said. “I wanted to hang out at galleries like MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) and explore the artists who came before Rothko and look at the progression of eras. I wanted to walk the streets as Rothko would have. I went to the Seagram Building; that was really a special experience. I found that I love the

Crouse finds lots of support in the Limestone City during his rookie year Reporter

Heritage Sports -- Leaving home for the first time is never easy. Thankfully for Kingston Frontenacs forward Lawson Crouse, his sister Kyla joined in him the Limestone City to attend Queen’s University and play for the women’s hockey team. “It’s always comforting knowing my sister is there whenever I need someone to talk to,” said Crouse, the Frontenacs’ first round pick (fifth overall) in the 2013 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection Draft. The Crouse siblings try to make it to each other’s games when their schedules allow. “Every once in a while, I will offer her some tips and advice and sometimes she will do the same for me,” he said. Lawson remembers one particular time when his sister wanted to improve her shot. They went to the driveway and practiced shooting against the garage. Lawson and Kyla grew up in Mount Brydges, Ont., a small town approximately 30 minutes by car from London. Not much happens in Mount Brydges, according to Crouse, but he likes that the residents all know each other. He played his tyke and novice hockey with the local minor hockey association.

Crouse eventually moved on to the ElginMiddlesex Chiefs of the Alliance Hockey organization. During his minor midget season in 2012-13, his team went undefeated through the regular season and playoffs to capture the league championship. At the OHL Cup, a showcase of the best minor midget teams in the province, the Chiefs came up just short in the semi-final, losing 1-0 to the Toronto Marlboros. Crouse cites last season as the highlight of his hockey career to this point. “Whenever you play your last year for an organization, it’s special. It was a fun experience,” he said. Crouse formed a strong bond with minor hockey teammate Travis Konecny. This year they find themselves facing off against each other on a regular basis as the Ottawa 67’s drafted Konecny first overall in the 2013 OHL draft. “When we are against each other, we put our friendship aside, and I try to be ready to go,” explained Crouse. The pair was reunited over the holidays at the 2014 World Under 17 Challenge in Cape Breton. They played on the same line to start the tournament. Team Ontario finished the preliminary round with a record of two wins, one loss and

one overtime loss. The squad had to settle for a contest versus Team Sweden to determine fifth place. Crouse scored two goals in that game to help his team to a 6-3 victory. “Obviously we didn’t do as well as we hoped, but it was still fun,” he said. “There is always room for improvement, but it’s behind me now and I just have to move on.” Crouse finished the tournament with four points in five games. He said the experience of facing players his own age gave him a boost of confidence that he didn’t have early in the OHL season. He hopes to maintain that momentum heading into the latter half of the regular season. With just over 20 games remaining in the regular season, Crouse said he can feel the intensity increasing as teams battle for playoff positioning. However, he tries not focus

on the pressure in order to ward off the anxiety that would cause him to make mistakes on the ice. His billet family continues to support him as he adjusts to life in the OHL. Furthermore, he rooms with Sam Bennett, no stranger when it comes to pressure. Two weeks ago the National Hockey League’s central scouting agency ranked Bennett as the top North American skater for this year’s draft. Crouse said he has learned some valuable lessons living with Bennett this year. “He is really humble about it. Being ranked No. 1 is a big accomplishment but he continues to put it aside and focus on each game,” Crouse said. The Frontenacs return to the Rogers KRock Centre this Sunday afternoon following a six-game road trip. Game time is 1 p.m.

Frontenac Islands noise bylaw passes Correspondent

EMC news- After many months of deliberation, a noise bylaw for Frontenac Islands received third and final reading, passed and entered into the township’s by-law book. The by-law regulates noise within the township by Time, Place and Days of Operation ; prohibits the use of certain construction and compacting equipment, the operation of a pit or quarry or certain powered or non powered domestic tools. It also prohibits yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling, singing or amplified sound , with noise levels not to exceed 65(dB) decibels from 20 meters and 75 dB’s from source over a 1 minute continuous period. The by-law also outlines certain exemptions such as emergency vehicles. “ I think this has been a good process,” Mayor

Doyle said. “We took our time on this one . We had quite a number of meetings and I think we now have something we can all live with.” When questioned, Doyle noted that “amplified music” was changed to amplified sound to counter the possibility of other noise, for instance, loud singing. With the passage of the bylaw, Interim CAO Gordon Burns reminded council of the need to acquire and cost ($300.) of a decibel meter to measure sound and the training requirement for the bylaw enforcement officer on its operation and use. “The main reason being if the bylaw is ever challenged in municipal court , it would be the same as a breathalyser, the judge will determine if the person was properly qualified to utilize that instrument.” Councillor Springgay noted that essentially, “ the bylaw came about as a direct result of the Wolfe Island Grill renovations, but the bylaw could also impact

those living around the community centre and the rink if, for instance there are more events or functions when the rink is closed in. I think it is a good thing for the community and not so focussed on one family,” she said. The By-Law will be posted on the Township’s web site In other business:*Mayor Doyle welcomed new Councillor from Howe Island Kim Nossal to the table, introducing her to the public present at the meeting. Following receipt of CAO Burns report on the naming of a building or road after a deserving individual, (advantages , disadvantages, precedent setting for future requests), Council resolved to honour a long time Reeve of Wolfe Island, and will name the WI Library the Tim O’Shea Memorial Library. * In the absence of both Mayor Doyle and Deputy Mayor David Jones, Councillor Wayne Grant was appointed as Acting Mayor for the period Jan. 1724,2014. Grant has also been appointed to represent Frontenac Islands on the Frontenac County Seniors Housing Task force, a long held issue of importance to him. *Council received the staff report regarding the Simcoe Island Nine Mile Point Lighthouse. It recommends that the township NOT support the acquisition of the Light House from the Federal Government because of the financial obligation it would involve. The Federal Government requires that whoever owns the site, whether private or public, must maintain it and allow for public use. *A township’s resolution(copied to MPP John Gerretsen, Frontenac County, & Premier Wynn) submitted through the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, petitions the Province of Ontario to recognize the December ice storm as an emergency and to provide special funding to municipalities (like Frontenac Islands) affected by the storm to off set some of the resulting costs. “Thanks to Hydro and our Fire Chiefs, I think we were ahead of the storm,”Mayor Doyle said. “We had our emergency management meeting and determined first steps but there are costs” The question was, if successful for funding , how would it be distributed ? “Let’s hope we are faced with that,” the mayor added. The resolution will be distributed to MPP John Gerre-

tsen, City of Kingston, Frontenac County and Ontario Premier Wynn. * Interim CAO Burns offered some insights about the damaged Wolfe Island snow plough (truck). Repair or Replace? The discussion veered toward repairing it, through insurance etc. “Taking a cash settlement leaves us without a vehicle, or for $5000. (deductible) we could have it back on the road.” Mayor Doyle suggested “ look for a cash settlement, bite the bullet and get another truck.”Staff will further study the issue, costs, truck availability etc. to determine the best way forward. * The Township supports Wolfe Island’s bid to become Hockeyville 2014 and encourages all residents to “get behind this community initiative.” *From a member of the public came the suggestion that council petition Frontenac County for the “Gas Tax” monies presently held in reserves that is owed to the township for road maintenance. Council meets next on Howe Island: Feb. 10th at 6:30 pm Around Town:* Fr. Raymond deSouza, Pastor at WI’s Sacred Heart Church invited to join the official delegation travelling with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on his first diplomatic visit to Israel. Fr. deSouza’s name was suggested because of his ongoing cooperation and collaboration with Canadian Jewish community. He asks for prayers that the visit advance the cause of peace, justice, liberty and security. *Bring it Home- Support WI’s bid to be Kraft Hockeyville 2014, Submit a story about Wolfe Island’s Community Spirit and Passion for Hockey”(up to 4,000 characters including spaces) They must be received in full via the Website no later than Feb. 9, 2014 at 11:59:59 p.m. ET Letters judged 1/3 Originality, 1/3 Community Spirit, 1/3 Passion for Hockey.You may attach photos with your story. http://krafthockeyville.cbc.ca/ FYI: The rules are changed with more prize money, For a letter being selected your community wins $25,000 (8 letters are to be selected from Eastern Canada & 8 from the West).

Fire ChieFs From FrontenaC Lennox and addington Counties highLights Co saFety with passing oF new Co deteCtor Law The Ontario legislature passed the Hawkins Gignac Act and amended the Fire Protection & Prevention Act requiring the installation of a carbon monoxide detector adjacent to all sleeping areas in any new or existing residence served by Any kind of fuel-burning appliance, including gas furnaces, gas water heaters, fireplaces, wood stoves, generators, and kerosene heaters.

Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, burning eyes, confusion, drowsiness and even loss of consciousness. Unsafe levels of CO can be detected by carbon monoxide detectors, which are constructed to detect airborne concentration levels of CO in parts per million (ppm) and sound an audible alarm when harmful levels are present.

For the best protection, it is important to have fuel burning appliances regularly serviced. never start an automobile or generator in a garage without first opening the overhead door for proper ventilation.

Other cities that are particularly happy include Regina in second place, Ottawa in eighteenth place, and Toronto at twenty-third out of twenty-five. Will Kingston be ousted from first place by chipper Regina anytime soon?

Heritage News - It may be something we’ve all suspected before, but now it’s confirmed: Kingston is the happiest city in Canada. A new social media study by Jetpac City Guides made the announcement on Jan. 9, when it listed the top 25 happiest cities in the country. According to Jetpac, the new iPhone app “curates Instagram’s big data to help users find everything from the top bars with women wearing lipstick to coffee shops full of mustached men.” Some of the other data that it looks for include “startup folks,” “winos,” “kung fu fighters,” and many more highly specific designations. It also measures the incidence and intensity of smiles, which is how Kingston received this latest title. “Once we’ve found faces, we run pattern recognition to look for mouths that appear to be smiling. We’re looking for toothy smiles, rather than more subtle grins,” explains Jetpac chief technical officer Pete Warden. “The measurement we get out is actually the number of pixels in the image we detect being a part of a smile, so large smiles have more weight than smaller ones. We use the number of smiles to estimate how good of a time people are having at a place.” Kingston’s images were then further sorted by location tags, which produced a list of the happiest places within the happiest city. That list includes Copper Penny in first place, along with Stages, The Brass, Menchie’s, Lone Star, The Sleepless Goat, and a handful of other restaurants and bars. “It’s kind of fun because every time I tell people about it, they smile,” laughs town crier Chris Whyman. “It’s self-perpetuating.” Whyman, who works with Tourism Kingston as well as being Town Crier, was alerted to

Heritage News – Post-secondary education can be a struggle in terms of both cost and rigor, but pursuing a higher level of education is especially difficult for Crown Wards, the name given to children and youth who are in the care of Children’s Aid Societies. Now, a group of six Southeastern Ontario institutions are working together to make their educational dreams a little more attainable. On Jan. 10, representatives from Family and Children’s Services of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington; Highland Shores Children’s Aid; Loyalist College; St. Lawrence College; the University of Ottawa; and Queen’s University gathered at St. Lawrence College to sign a new agreement aimed at opening up communication between aid societies and academic institutions. Protocols will be put in place to provide aid and assistance to Crown Wards who wish to pursue post-secondary education and these groups will work together to do what they can. “Today is very exciting for us,” said Terri McDade, Dean of the Faculty of Arts at St. Lawrence College. “It is the culmination of a lot of work from a lot of people. We all worked together to bring this protocol agreement to fruition today and it is a great day for our youth.” The group, called the Crown Ward Education Championship Team, will also work closely with Youth Services to ensure that those who would like to pursue further education are matched appropriately and helped through the process. “Our youth advisory committee is a wonderful resource for us,” added McDade. “This is about the youth, and the advisory committee really knows best what they need. They work to make the proper pairings to get students to college and once they are there they help with the support that they need to get them

through those years. Their advice is extremely valuable to our team and at the same time it is all about providing them with the information they need to make the right choices for the youth. We really need a team effort for all of this to continue successfully.” Also present at the event was a youth, Travis, who is happily heading off to college in the fall. Despite many setbacks, Travis overcame the hurdles he faced. He spoke briefly of his struggles at the signing. “I started about 11 years ago as what you could call a low life in a bad part of town. I got into foster care and it started going good and I started to go to public school. College was always out of the question for me and I was told that I wouldn’t make it. Now I’ve graduated from public school and high school and I am heading off to college and I’ve done pretty much everything that they told me I couldn’t do 10 years ago. So I think I am doing pretty good and a lot of that is because of these people.” The Crown Ward Education Championship Team is also working to provide a yearly conference for youth, academic institutions and employers. Their goal is to open up communication in the community and make things easier in transition stages. “We also work to provide information to foster parents and to workers about the application process and the programs we are holding so that there is always a twoway communication going on and it just makes the entire process more fluid for everyone involved,” said McDade. “The communication lets youth have a smoother transition from these aid societies to these institutions and it becomes less daunting for them. Hopefully we can continue to do this for many years to come.” For more information about the agreement and about the institutions involved visit www.familyandchildren.ca

Menopause: Tapping into Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Menopause, defined as the ending of menses, is a natural process experienced by all women when the ovaries no longer respond to stimulation from the brain to produce estrogen and progesterone. It is normal for menopause to occur anywhere between the ages of 41 to 59. Menopause should be viewed as a process of natural transition involving both hormonal shifts and changes in psyche, but instead, it is often considered a deficiency disease that must be â&#x20AC;&#x153;managedâ&#x20AC;? not only with hormone replacement medication, but also antidepressant, anti-anxiety, and sleep aiding drugs. Conjugated estrogens have been shown to have several detrimental side effects such as increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, blood clots, and breast cancer (Am J of Obstet Gynecol. 1987;157:1042-8). Women need to be aware that other more natural and safer options are available to support them through the transformative process of menopause. Menopause is experienced differently for every woman. Hot flashes are the most common symptom experienced by women and can range from minor feelings of increased warmth to major episodes of heat intolerance. Other symptoms of menopause include change in menstrual cycle, vaginal dryness, anxiety, depression, sore breasts, fatigue, headache, bladder incontinence, and joint pain. These symptoms can be discomforting, but women have many treatment alternatives for each of these symptoms. Diet changes can be helpful in treating the symptoms of menopause. Specific molecules called prostaglandins stimulate an area in the brain that controls temperature and other bodily processes and are responsible for increasing the

number and intensity of hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. Prostaglandins are increased by red meat, dairy, sugar, peanuts, and shellfish and are inhibited by antioxidants found in fruit and vegetables, fish oil, and curcumin from tumeric. Other foods and beverages that aggravate hot flashes and should be avoided are coffee, chocolate, alcohol, hot drinks, foods containing histamine (cheese and red wine), and spicy foods. Flax seeds are an important food to incorporate into the diet during menopause. Flax seeds contain isoflavones which act as a phytoestrogen meaning that it has estrogen like properties that can replenish the decline in estrogen that occurs during menopause. Other foods that have phytoestrogen properties are sesame seeds, yams, garlic, and bean sprouts. Supplementation with clinically proven effective herbs can be helpful. Angelica sinensis (Dong Quai) is a Chinese herb with a long history of use for the treatment of gynecological ailments, fatigue, and high blood pressure. A study published in Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol. 2003; 30(4):203-6 showed that over a 12 week treatment period with Dong Quai the number and intensity of hot flashes decreased by 9096%. Acupuncture can also be helpful for menopausal symptoms. A study published in Climacteric 2004; 7:153-64 showed that a series of 12 acupuncture treatments in 11 out of 15 women resulted in a mean decrease in hot flashes of 83%. It is important for all women to educate themselves about available treatment options for their health concerns and to explore options through supervision from a physician knowledgeable in alternative approaches.

Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Northern Frontenac Community Services Corporation is asking for $15,500 from Central Frontenac, the same amount it received last year, executive Don Amos told Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. He presented Council with a report of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities this past year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This report is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how we spent your money and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like again,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. NFCS operates programs for adults and youths, he said. The $15,500 was applied to its youth programs, which Amos listed as 12 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;program achievements.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The achievements included: Two weekly after school programs geared to ages six to nine and another 10 and up A summer day camp three times a week at the Child Centre in Sharbot Lake that included 234 participants last year A new Leaders in Training program in which 14 members went on to volunteer at special events through the agency Four youth dances at Oso Hall for Grades 5-9 with average attendance about 35. Several trips, including laser tag, bowling and Fun Heaven in Ottawa. Three life skills courses and three Red Cross babysitting courses, with transportation provided Three family movie nights in Sharbot Lake The Great Outdoors Adventure, attended by about 180 people Do Girls, a self-esteem course for teen girls.

Transportation for all of the events and programs listed Kids Fit Indoor Soccer in Mountain Grove, with 174 participants. A Strawberry Moon Festival and after school programs enhanced by the Aboriginal Youth Coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we move forward into 2014, it is our hope that the funding requested will be granted to ensure that the operational tempo will be maintained,â&#x20AC;? Amos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, we will be increasing our programming by expanding our youth mentoring program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth program staff will be partnering with local businesses and Granite Ridge Education Centre for a unique way for high school youth to obtain their volunteer hours learning team building, program planning and job skills with a result of volunteer opportunities in our community.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ In keeping with Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy regarding rotating the deputy mayor position, Council appointed Oso representative Frances Smith to hold the position for 2014. Unlike some municipalities, the deputy mayor in Central has no real official duties, and the primary function is to have a designate to fill in at meetings in the absence of the mayor. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Council approved a Household Hazardous Waste Day for 2014, in which solvents, oils, paint and other materials not accepted at the waste sites will be disposed of, to be held in July. Last year, the event cost about $32,000 to hold, of which half is recovered from provincial programs.

The Claytones excited to play first gig in Kingston By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Events –A fun evening of alt-country and bluegrass is the perfect cure for the winter blues, and luckily Kingstonians won’t have to travel far for this experience. Live Wire is happy to present an evening with The Claytones and the Slocan Ramblers at the Octave Theatre on Jan. 24 and Artistic Director Alan Rankin is sure that concert-goers will not be disappointed. “We present six shows a year in various venues in Kingston and we bring mostly Canadian musicians, but often musicians from all over the world, to Kingston,” explained Rankin, “The upcoming show is

something a little different. We do bring in some really famous and established groups but for this show we have two fairly unknown but extremely talented groups. We like to give exposure to these groups and in this case we have two younger groups. We always get a good crowd out and the younger groups always enjoy playing to a large appreciative audience.” Kelly Prescott is a guitarist and singer for The Claytones and she is looking forward to playing in Kingston. “Alan Rankin was in touch with us and we’ve been trying to organize something for about a year. We are pretty pumped to play in Kingston. We haven’t played in Kingston as the

Claytones yet so that is very exciting.” The Claytones have been playing together for about two years now and Prescott could not be happier with how things are going. The group released their second album this past October and their alt-country sound is front and centre on the record. “It is a very stripped down album,” explained Prescott. “We did everything on the floor just in front of two microphones for that album and it is very true to our live sound. We are pretty excited about this album because it is very much what we do as a four piece band and it is nice to have something that represents what our live shows sound like and our fans have been asking us for something

like that for a few years.” While The Claytones may be relatively unknown to some, they have accumulated a loyal fan base and Prescott enjoys meeting new fans and people each night. “The folk community is an incredible community. It is so different from any other genre we have played and they are truly wonderful. The people are really unique and have great stories and every weekend we meet another 100 new people and that is always fascinating.” Prescott comes from a musical family. Both her parents were musicians, and she can’t imagine doing anything else professionally. She hopes that The Claytones will continue for years to come and she’s

grateful to have the opportunity to play great shows like the one in Kingston. “I love the guys and I love working with them. We have a lot of fun together. Music isn’t an easy business but I think it is great that we have been working together for so many years. It is nice that we are still together and we all still enjoy it and I hope we can continue that for many years to come.” The show takes place on Friday, Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Octave Theatre, 711 Dalton Ave. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door and are available now at Brian’s Record Option and Tara Natural Foods or online at www.livewiremusicseries.ca

Broiled not fried: good health starts in the kitchen Columnist

Feel fluffy after the holidays? No time to eat lunch on the way to the gym? At this time of year, people often renew their commitment to a healthier lifestyle. They resolve to increase visits to the gym, or perhaps take up a fad diet in an effort to shed pounds. For some, this exercise is monumental to even consider. The cost of a gym membership can be a barrier, and it’s often hard to know where to begin. Want to look and feel your best? Good health starts in the kitchen. Doctors suggest that a poor diet can be a direct cause of poor health and even diseases such as cancer. Family history is a factor, but healthy food combined with activity is a deterrent of such conditions. Growing older generally means more

aches and pains, and none of us are immune from illness, but a healthy diet and lifestyle can assist in protecting yourself. This is not to suggest that cancer will pass you by, or that being afflicted is because you are not healthy. Every individual diagnosis is specific to the person. But you can take steps to protect yourself, your family and others. It’s easy to be healthy. What we eat matters – not just your trips to the gym for washboard abs. Backaches, sleep apnea and arthritis are some of the conditions that may be eliminated by eating healthy food. Surprise - word is that it’s not just overweight individuals, but also slim people, who are unhealthy. Looking fit doesn’t always mean healthy. Society’s perception is that if you are thin you are healthy. Not true. It’s better to be fat and fit than thin and out of shape. Sadly, we often use crash diets and strenu-

ous physical exercise for quick results. (I am guilty of this myself.) Make it a goal to flip the perception of the word ‘diet’ and see it simply as the food we eat. Its not rocket science. Eat good food and it can change your health. Adopt a new food philosophy. If it’s manufactured IN a plant, avoid, but if it was grown ON a plant it’s probably okay. Think fresh and prepare things in the kitchen. Broil instead of frying. You can reduce illness by eating the right kinds of food. Healthy eating means eating the right amount of calories from all food groups. According to Canada’s Food Guide, the four main food groups are vegetables and fruit; grain products; milk and alternatives; and meat and alternatives. When we eat matters too. Be mindful and plan ahead what you are going to eat. Do not miss breakfast. Eating breakfast helps and may lower the risk of high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease. To all you teenagers out there: you tend to be concerned about your weight and image. To look good, eat good food. Eat breakfast, snacks, lunch and supper. Enough said. Cancer can take away the very thing that makes life worth living. Do not obsess about food, but change the way you relate to it. Recognize that all your hours in the gym may make you look good, but they will not keep you healthy and feeling good. This year, make your food your medicine.

Re-Style your Jewellery into an exciting new creation!

Travel provides wonderful opportunity to learn Lifestyle – Like so many millions of others across North America, Kathleen and I watched the season four opener of the wildly popular British television series Downton Abbey on American public television (PBS) Sunday night, Jan 5. If you are a fan of the series then I am sure you weren’t disappointed despite the fact some key characters have been written out. Downton Abbey is basically a “high class soap opera.” Something of an ‘Upstairs, Downstairs’ take-off, only with more mystery and intrigue. Again this season series creator and writer Julian Fellowes is leading Downton’s growing legion of followers on another interesting journey through the world of English aristocracy. The series began with the sinking of the Titanic, continued through World War I and its aftermath and has now moved into the Roaring Twenties. As someone who enjoys writing and history, I am impressed by how well Fellowes has neatly woven historic fact into fictional scripts. The actor turned writer/producer (he is also a Conservative member of the House of Lords) has crafted an extremely interesting and entertaining television series while, at the same time, offering lessons in the history of the United Kingdom, Europe and even North America. Very interesting stuff and well worth seeing, even if it is a tad “soapy.” Downton Abbey (the name of the country estate of the fictional Craw-

ley family) is set in Yorkshire but is filmed mainly at Highclere Castle in Hampshire and other locations in southern England. Kathy and I have been fortunate to travel extensively in the UK, Ireland and Europe over the course of two decades. We have good friends in West Yorkshire and have visited most of the communities which are liberally mentioned in Downton Abbey. Places such as Ripon, Thirsk, Malton, Easingwold, York and Leeds. Travel has given us a completely different perspective on what life is and was like in other countries. We both soak up history like a blotter, so what better places to visit than England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany and The Netherlands, nations which are steeped in history. Many of us grow up wondering what it would be like to visit other countries, meet the people who live there and become immersed in other societies. I have to say that the real life experience is usually vastly different from what you might imagine. But in a very positive way! For us travel is a tonic and it is addictive too. We can’t get enough of it. Life is about learning and that is what travel is all about in my opinion. We have learned so much about numerous countries, cities, people and places. Travel has fueled my writing and judging by the spike in my email in the wake of every travel-related article I write, many of you are also hooked. The urge to travel gets in to

Tennessee excursion It is January and in the midst of what is a true Canadian winter I am already feeling the need to get away. From the ice and snow that is! When you read this I will have just returned from my first international trip of 2014, four days in Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee. I am privileged to chair the Sister City Committee in Carleton Place and our community has been twinned with Franklin, a city of 65,000 residents located 20 kilometres from Nashville, since 2005. This was mainly a private trip and I was accompanied by Bob White, the newly-minted Citizen of the Year in Carleton Place. So while we were there we promoted our community and eastern Ontario during discussions with officials in the Tennessee city including representatives of the Franklin and Williamson County Sister City Board. A particularly enjoyable sidelight was the chance to see the Ottawa Senators play the Nashville Predators in a National Hockey League game at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. Preds’ home is located across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame and because this was Bob’s first visit to Nashville, and he is a big music fan, a tour of the hall was also on our itinerary. I am a huge advocate of the Sister City concept and what it can bring to the communities involved. Once again it is a learning experience as

well as a cultural opportunity along with a chance to delve into the history of twin communities. Incredibly there are only 24 Sister City arrangements involving Canadian and American centres. The United States is our most important ally and our biggest trading partner and yet we seem to take each other for granted. The reality is that we have so much to learn from one another. Officials at the United States Embassy in Ottawa, whose job it is to promote better Canadian-US relations, is extremely interested in the Carleton Place-Franklin linkage. They would like to see many more such arrangements in an effort to better promote tourism and business opportunities involving our two nations. Our committee has been working with them for several years in an effort to do just that. Considering the winter we are having I highly recommend Tennessee as an alternative getaway location for Canadians who would like to give Florida or Arizona a miss. There is much to recommend in the state, especially its moderate winters. I can safely say the Carleton Place Sister City Committee would be pleased to assist any community

in the coverage area of this newspaper who might be interested in twinning with a place outside or inside Canada. There is no restriction on who you can link with that I’m aware of. Travel is the point of this week’s column and travel is very much related to sister cities. But in terms of individual people, any travel is a wonderful learning opportunity. And you don’t have to cross oceans or leave Canada either. Day trips in our own region are very useful in terms of learning and such excursions are extremely enjoyable, even in winter. Depending on where you decide to go of course? At this time of year there are lots of great ski centres within a short drive of most Eastern Ontario communities. I had originally thought about writing a column about our intriguing journey to visit the source of the Danube River in southern Germany in October. Instead I will tease you with that thought (it is a humorous tale) and write about it later. The next time the travel bug bites!

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, your tendency to say what you feel can come across as being impolite. Many, however, appreciate your honesty and unwillingness to mince words. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – A loved one needs some help, Taurus. This week you will have to figure out a way to assist this person and still tend to your own pressing affairs. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, focus your energy on someone important. This may be a friend, family member or even a romantic partner. Brush up on your relationship skills in the meantime. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – You have a natural charm that immediately puts others at ease, Cancer. If you are wooing a client, they will be putty in your hands. Just open your mouth, and you will win them over. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, your stubbornness comes into play this week, and it could cause a rift with friends or colleagues. Try to see their point of view, and put off any serious disputes for another time. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, spend a little time this week plotting your next getaway. You tend to be happiest when you’re on the move and exploring. Everyone needs an escape now and then. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Enjoy some local culture this week, Libra. Take in a concert, an art show or a theater performance. Just enjoy anything that will educate and entertain at the same time. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, you may find that someone you thought was weak is much stronger than they appeared. This person may not need as much of your assistance as you initially thought. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, analyze any problems you may have by breaking them down into smaller tasks. Then you can tackle one thing at a time and come to a happy resolution. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, your children or the youngsters in your life will be the center of your universe this week. Make the most of this time and enjoy kids’ carefree natures. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – This week may be a little boring, Aquarius. Make the most of your down time, as you could use a few slow days to recharge your batteries and plan your next move. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – You are bubbling with energy, Pisces. Make the most of this energy by exercising, partying or taking a day trip.

Marguirite gets her pay back for being a show off Mary Cook

Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Lifestyle - It was the year bad Marguirite appeared at the Northcote School all decked out in a white fur coat. She vowed it was the most expensive fur you could buy, but my brother Emerson and his best friend Cecil, after examining it closely, said it was nothing but plain rabbit. The very thought of the number of precious little rabbits, which I loved with a passion, who had lost their fur to make that coat, was enough to turn my stomach! And certainly didn’t do anything to make me like Marguirite any better! It was also the year we had more snow than anyone could remember. It was banked all around the school yard. And at the back, where a

board fence separated the yard from the open-air rink, the Senior Fourth boys had piled the snow high, creating a slide that only went downwards about six or seven feet, but it was enough to give us lots of fun at recess, sliding down on our bottoms, or on opened-up flat cardboard boxes the boys had hauled from Briscoe’s General Store. That day wasn’t any different from any other inside the one-room school house. Miss Crosby ran the place like an army general, and even though Marguirite wanted to keep her coat on, Miss Crosby wasn’t having any of that nonsense. “It’ll smell of cow byre,” Marguirite said, glaring at the boys who had to milk cows before coming to school. But one look from Miss Crosby told her to get it off and hang it on a hook at the back of the room just like everyone else. We couldn’t wait for recess. The

half hour would be spent sliding down the mound of snow in the school yard, and Miss Crosby had warned the Senior Fourth boys that everyone got a turn or they would suffer her wrath when recess was over. It didn’t take long for us girls to get on our snow suits, galoshes, hats and mitts, and the boys into their heavy jackets and gum rubbers, let me tell you! And just before we were heading out, Miss Crosby caught Marguirite by her sleeve and told her she had had a note from her Mother, and there was no sliding down the hill for her in her white fur coat! Well, there she stood at the bottom of the little mound, looking for all the world like an orphan as the rest of us careened down the little hill, squealing with delight all the way. Both Emerson and Cecil were standing at the top, and as soon as anyone fell to the mound to begin

the slide, they gave a good push and away we went like a bullet, landing in the soft snow at the bottom. I was immediately suspicious of Emerson and Cecil, after they had whispered, grinned from ear to ear, and invited Marguirite to have a slide. “Don’t worry about your coat. You can sit on this big piece of cardboard, and you won’t even touch the snow.” Well, it didn’t take long for Marguirite to scurry up the mound, grab a hold of the upper board of the rink fence and prepare herself to sit down on the cardboard the boys had put in place. Well, that’s when all heck broke loose! Just as she was lowering herself, Cecil grabbed the box tossing it aside, Emerson gave Marguirite a mighty push, and down she went, fur coat and all, to the bottom of the mound, screaming all the way. When she stopped, the coat was up around her neck, the fur hat was nowhere to be seen, and that day she

had on blue fleeced lined bloomers like the rest of us. She went roaring into the school like someone possessed. By the time recess was over, Miss Crosby had the coat draped over a chair by the stove, and Cecil had brought in the white fur hat and handed it to the teacher saying with a voice like sugar “Marguirite must have lost this.” Well, that was the end of the white fur coat at the Northcote School. Joyce said it didn’t look any the worse for wear when Marguirite came prancing into the United Church the next Sunday wearing it, and the hat. And even if Miss Crosby knew what had happened outside at the snow slide, she said nothing. My older and wiser sister Audrey said Miss Crosby probably wasn’t any more impressed with the white fur coat than were the rest of us at the Northcote School.

Dump amnesty load lives for another year in Central Frontenac By Craig Bakay Reporter

the need for the amnesty load isn’t what it once was. “It’s about time we gave this one up,” he said. “Staff has said if we don’t eliminate it we’ll have to standardize the load now that we have tipping fees.” “We could make a maximum size, say the size of a $30 tipping fee load and everything over that, you’d have to pay,” said Smith. “My guess is that you’d have mostly $30 loads.” Labbett didn’t support that idea. “We’ve had guys come out of their trucks and want to fight over $20 worth of garbage,” he said.

Dewey said he didn’t see the abuse as a major issue. “First of all, there’s not that many using it,” he said. “You’ll get one or two, but I don’t see it as a big problem.” Gutowski said there would be a need to standardize loads and asked Labbett to come up with a report, as well as proposed dates. She said she also hoped waste site attendants would take flak from Council’s decisions. “It is a political decision,” she said. “So, for those who don’t agree, contact your councilor to complain, not the dump attendants.”

would be $16,000, which is just about exactly the shortfall for the household hazardous waste day.” “We’ve never really budgeted things that way,” said Fox. “When I was in administration, I fought the amnesty load tooth and nail but now that I’m a councilor, I see it differently.” “It keep garbage out of township ditches and it’s a positive gesture from the Township to residents,” said Guntensperger. Purdon, a member of the waste management committee who wanted to end the amnesty load, said that the vast increase in what’s accepted as recycling means that

Gazette News — The annual amnesty load residents of Central Frontenac Township are allowed at the Township landfill sites will continue for 2014, following a lengthy debate at the regular Council meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. As part of his regular report to Council, waste management supervisor Kyle Labbett recommended scraping the practice, arguing that only about 15 per cent of residents use it (around 500 loads last year), and some of those

who do tend to abuse it by bringing in large trailers or increasing the size of their pickup truck loads with extended sides. In a recorded vote, Mayor Janet Gutowski, Coun. John Purdon, Wayne Millar and Jeff Matson voted to scrap the program. Dep. Mayor Frances Smith, Coun. Norm Guntensperger, Tom Dewey and Heather Fox voted against the motion to scrap and the tie vote meant the motion was defeated. Matson tried the economic argument. “To me, the amnesty load is just lost revenue,” said Matson. “At 500 loads, the tipping fees

Farm Boy holds vendor fair in hopes of bringing in more local products By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Locally sourced food is becoming more and more important to consumers and here in the Kingston area, eating local has always been a priority. Eating local and sourcing local is also a priority for Farm Boy; in an effort to expand their product selection, the unique grocer hosted a vendor fair last week to meet and engage with more local suppliers. “A little while ago I contacted Mark Jonker from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) and let him know that we were interested in expanding the local presence of producers and good quality foods in our store both here and in stores we are looking at in Western Ontario,” explained Carolyn Trudel, Marketing Director for Farm Boy. “Mark took it form there and he essentially set this all up for us. We arrived with buyers and we are trying products and listening to stories and looking to see if there is an opportunity to bring these products into our stores.” Jonker works with multiple suppliers across Ontario and when he received the call from Farm Boy he immediately got to work. “We have relationships with probably over 1,800 food processing companies in the province, so when Farm Boy came to us and said this is what we’d like to do, for us it is an exercise in matchmaking. We helped coordinate the vendors and prepared them to come here.”

While not every meeting will lead to a sale, the event was a learning experience for both Farm Boy and suppliers. The grocer currently has one location in Kingston but there are 13 other locations throughout the Ottawa and Cornwall area. Kingston has been a bit of a challenge for the grocer as new local connections need to be formed. Products that come from Ottawa are no longer considered ‘local’ in this newer location. “Kingston has such a unique and wonderful small town feeling and people here are very loyal to local producers,” said Trudel. “There is a very strong food industry here and the farmers’ market here is so prevalent and we really wanted to work with that. That is one of the reasons we are here. We have well known brands like Wilton Cheese, Seed to Sausage and Limestone Organic Creamery, but we know that there are so many more local suppliers here and we want to bring them into our store.” The main criteria for new suppliers is always taste, but Farm Boy also focuses on quality and ability to produce for their demand. Trudel also focuses on the stories behind the products. Farm Boy is a unique destination that does not carry many national brands, focusing instead on unique products with interesting stories. “People want to know more than ever where their food is coming from. They also want to hear the stories and that is one of the reasons I come to these events,” explained Trudel. “The buyers have

a good feel for what our customers want, but I want to hear the stories because that is what our customers want to know. It is a new product on the shelf and it might have a great package, but without the story it is just another product.” Farm Boy met with 35 different

suppliers over the course of the day on Jan. 15 with a hope to pick up as many as possible. Over the next few weeks, buyers will make their choices and Farm Boy looks forward to forming new relationships with local vendors in the years to come. “It is kind of exciting to think

about because this is kind of the beginning for us out here and we can work with really small companies out here and not have to worry about them supplying to all of our Ottawa stores,” said Trudel. “We can make certain brands that we carry unique to Kingston.”

King’s Town Players hope to have you laughing this winter with Steve Martin play By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage Entertainment - Director Clatyon Garrett asked the same question of everybody who auditioned for the King’s Town Players’ latest production, Steve Martin’s The Underpants. “I asked them, what was your favourite Steve Martin movie?,” Garrett says. “You either really love Steve Martin or you don’t like him. I happen to be one that really does love him. I think it’s important because if you’ve ever heard his stand up or any of his other pieces that he’s written, there’s a

cadence and there’s a style that’s there when you read it on the page. I really wanted to make sure we had fans of the guy to do it.” Adapted from the 1910 German farce Die Hose by playwright Carl Sternheim, The Underpants marks the second Steve Martin play the Players have presented. The first was Picasso at the Lapin Agile in 2011, and The Underpants will similarly be staged at the Kingston Yacht Club. Set in Germany in the early 20th century, the play tells of a young married couple, Theo and Louise, who go to a parade to catch a glimpse of the king. While standing on a bench to get a better view, Louise’s underpants

fall down, creating quite the scandal. Hilarity ensues as “gentlemen callers” proceed to visit their home to inquire about a room for rent. “We were trying to find a fit for the yacht club and this seemed like a very nice fit,” says Garrett. “It’s a very funny play. It’s very irreverent and much like Picasso it’s clever and the dialogue is really zippy.” Garrett adds that the Yacht Club setting, while limiting in terms of what the production can accomplish technically, actually enhances the tone of the play. “What we’ve discovered is that this play is [set in] one room, and that will work well. Theo and Louise are not the most affluent people in Germany - they live in a small house and they rent a room. So we can kind of play with that on a smaller scale.” The show stars Ben Hudson, Nicole Garrett, Kelti Roy, Gabe Meacher, Robert Elliott, Michael Catlin and Steve VanVolkingburgh –

all of whom Garrett chose very carefully in order to craft the perfect cast chemistry. “It’s predominantly a younger cast with a few old guys thrown in for good measure,” he says, noting that experience has taught him it’s key to find a group of actors who work well together and can play off one another. “Pace is important [in a comedy],” he says. “It’s that sort of engagement between the actors that really makes the comedy that much better. You can have a play that’s very well-written and technically all the aspects are very tight, but if you don’t have the element of play from the standpoint of the people on stage it just doesn’t take it to that next step. So that’s what we’re shooting for here.” The Underpants runs Jan. 28 – Feb. 1 and Feb. 5 – 8 at 8 p.m. at the Kingston Yacht Club. Tickets are $20 per person.
