Kingston Heritage – With a civic election drawing closer, city council wants a report card from residents. The mayor and his council will hold four Town Hall meetings in different areas of the city starting next month to hear directly from residents about what they like and don’t like about the services they are paying for. “We are there to listen to what the public has to say,” said Mayor Mark Gerretsen. The mayor added the focus of the Town Hallstyle meetings is not to get into an election-style debate while responding to public questions. “We are not having these meetings for political purposes.” But the restrictive format of the meetings touched off a council debate over whether politicians should be allowed to talk.
Coun. Rob Hutchison says topics will be raised that deserve a prompt reply from council. “At these meetings people are expecting answers.” He fears a public backlash if the assembled councillors seem unresponsive to public questions. The clerk says the Town Hall format, however, is designed for council to listen, not to speak. Councillors voted unanimously Jan. 21 to waive their procedural bylaw to allow them to meet at venues away from City Hall, including an arena, school and campground. City clerk John Bolognone says the format will give each resident three minutes to voice their opinions and to allow municipal staff to respond to any pressing questions. But it does not allow councillors to engage in any kind of dialogue. Continued on page 5

Town-gown attempt to rebrand ‘student ghetto’ gains political traction Kingston Heritage – What’s in a name? Plenty, it seems, if you’re trying to shake a bad reputation. Officials with the City of Kingston and Queen’s University are working on a plan to attach a new name to the off-campus neighbourhoods that are often referred to as the ‘student ghetto.’ The area is to be rebranded as the University District, possibly starting later this year. Council passed a motion last fall to work with student leaders to identify clear boundaries and costs associated with the neighbourhood improvement initiative, which includes attaching the neighbourhood’s new name atop dozens of street sign markers. The main area identified as part of the University District is bordered by Johnson Street, Collingwood Street, Barrie Street and King Street West. This area not only covers the main campus but also off-campus student housing areas to the north. It also includes the notorious Aberdeen Street, a small street that’s been ground zero for many unsanctioned student parties during Homecoming weekend in recent years. Mayor Mark Gerretsen supports the town-gown initiative. “If we can identify an area that is more focused
on being unique … it gets community buy-in from everyone.” It will cost an estimated $10,000 to replace more than 100 street signs to add the University District logo. The cost is to be shared equally between city taxpayers and the university student government, according to a report currently making its way through the committee stage. T h e president of the Queen’s Alma Mater Society (AMS) says the rebranding is not only designed to replace an undesirable image and “reclaim” the area, but to foster a sense of community, inclusiveness and pride. “Visible signage in the University District would indicate to people that they have entered a unique area of

the city which incorporates students, community members and the university,” said Catherine Wright, AMS municipal affairs commissioner. The student-led marketing plan for the University District also involves attaching the new name to recycling bins and residence posters, plus promoting the makeover through social media. A second area being considered as part of the University District is located north of the university bordered by Johnson Street, Nelson Street, Princess Street and Division Street in what is part of Williamsville district. This area, along with the west campus, will be considered for rebranding in future years.

Advisory Committee studied the rebranding of student areas in other university towns, and believes Kingston is on the right track. “When you want to change an attitude, change a culture, you have to start somewhere,” said Coun. Bill Glover, who chairs the committee. He added: “It’s a case of nothing ventured, nothing gained.” This is not the first attempt to rebrand the student ghetto. An initiative a few years ago to call it the Student Village did not catch on the way university leaders had hoped. Many concluded the ‘student’ name was exclusionary, while ‘village’ was deemed too quaint. The University District name was adopted by the Queen’s AMS in 2011.

Queen’s AMS is anxious is wipe away a bad reputation that has enveloped the campus. The student ghetto name is often linked to substandard tenant housing, litter and street parties. Student leaders admit changing the image and culture of off-campus neighbourhoods will take more than just street markers. That’s why they plan to continue to work with private landlords and the city to improve property cleanliness and safety. Concerns have been expressed that the University District title may confuse residents, as the city’s 12 electoral areas are also called districts. University District falls within what is known municipally as Sydenham District. The Near Campus Neighbourhoods

(NC)-Visions of navigating through snow, sleet and black ice are enough to convince most drivers to hibernate during the winter. But for those willing to brave the icy roads, here are some safe driving tips and puts an end to a number of dangerous winter driving myths. Myth # 1 There is no difference between all-season tires and winter tires False - There are many different types of tires available for all kinds of climates and conditions. When preparing for a change of season, consult the experts and have them recommend the most appropriate tires for your vehicle. Myth #2 In winter, accidents usually happen during storms. False - During a storm, drivers tend to drive a lot more carefully, but when the weather is good, people take more risks. Myth # 3 Thanks to my anti-lock brakes, I can brake without
danger, which isn’t the case with traditional brakes. False - The nature of anti-lock brakes means that stopping distances may be longer than with traditional brakes. Myth # 4 Nothing beats a nice wide tire for driving in snow. False - Wide tires tend to float on top of the snow, unlike narrow tires, which provide a better grip.

Myth #5 The letters M+S (mud and snow) on a tire show that it is a winter tire.

Crusader or crucified? City councillor awaits outcome of integrity probe
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Kingston Heritage Editorial – Veteran councillor Bill Glover is used to asking a lot of questions when it comes to researching municipal matters. Coun. Glover is known for his almost lawyer-like style when it comes to questioning staff as he carefully builds a case with quotes that will later form part of his argument when addressing an agenda item. His methodical research and sometimes blunt commentary go beyond the council table, as evidenced through op-ed letters, emails or on his active personal web site, titled ‘Putting People First,’ where he addresses topics such as the casino, peer reviews and even a subject about council abusing its own procedural rules. “I’ve always maintained I’ve done nothing less and nothing more than what would be expected of an engaged member of council would do,� he said of his inquisitive style. There’s no doubt he is well versed on municipal business – even if his arguments ruffle feathers and don’t always fall on the winning side of council votes. But there’s a fine line between pushing for answers and being viewed as too pushy. Recently, Coun. Glover found himself on the receiving end of probing questions.
Continued from page 1
Mayor Gerretsen says this format is the best approach, and he wants to keep the tone positive. “I’m not going to be selling it from an angle of ‘Tell us all your problems and why Kingston is horrible.’ It’s going to be ‘Tell us what we can do to make your city better.’� But is there enough time left in this term to address any problems that arise? “Whatever we do get we can pass on to the next council,� said Gerretsen. Pittsburgh councillor Brian Reitzel agrees it shouldn’t be the assembled council’s role to provide “shot gun� answers to any frustrated resident. The call for roving Town Hall meetings stems from 16 years of amalgamation frustration in Pittsburgh and Countryside districts, where the two elected representatives recently tried, and failed, to have an election referendum to consider the question of separating from Kingston. The two councillors argue the city’s east and rural residents are not getting the same level of recreation, transit, plowing and other tax-funded services as their urban counterparts. Coun. Reitzel is pleased one of the meetings will be held in his district and he’s got a committee of citizens working on a specific list of concerns to bring to council. “If we can negotiate some of the key
issues that we want resolved on the east side then we can get away from some of this de-amalgamation rhetoric that’s going on.� Among the items expected on Pittsburgh’s wish list: moving ahead on the third bridge crossing, building a community centre, more commercial development and expanding Highway 15. The mayor initially put forward three meeting dates, but Coun. Jim Neill argued the locations excluded the core area of Kingston. He persuaded council to add a fourth meeting in the downtown. The Town Hall dates and locations are: Wednesday, Feb. 19 in Reddendale Hall at Centre 70 Arena on Days Road; Tuesday, Feb. 25 in the cafeteria at LaSalle Secondary School on Highway 15; Monday, March 3 in the main hall at Rideau Acres Campground at 1014 Cunningham Road and Monday, March 17 in Memorial Hall at Kingston City Hall. All meetings will start at 6 p.m. Issues raised at the four meetings will be compiled in a staff information report.

appeared at the OMB hearing to support students and neighbourhood groups who had launched the appeal. Glover spoke to the OMB as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;private individual,â&#x20AC;? but used his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; title in prior email correspondence. That issue came up while Glover was questioned at the hearing, and he replied that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to escape his dual role as both an elected official and private citizen. One thing that is clear, from his point of view, is the subsequent investigation smacks as a form of political payback for his past criticism of council voting patterns tied to campaign donations from developers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said that all along,â&#x20AC;? he maintained. When asked if he made the payback point to the investigator, he replied: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe the matter came up.â&#x20AC;? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear is whether Coun. Gloverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search for answers during the OMB process may have somehow bordered on influencing a city official, which the Code frowns upon. As an aside, Glover says he shares a point of common interest with the Commissioner in that they both have an enthusiastic interest in heritage architecture, and that Rust-Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eye snapped over 50 pictures of Kingston buildings while he was here. Needless to say, their affinity for old stones wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure in the Commissionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final report. But the report could lead to new stones being cast around council when the outcome is known. R0012518866

The Sydenham councillor is believed to be one of two people at the focus of an ongoing investigation by a city-appointed Integrity Commissioner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an interesting discussion. My advisors thought it went well,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Glover of his recent twoand-a-half hour interview by Commissioner George Rust-Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eye. Exactly what the Toronto lawyer is trying to get to the bottom of remains a closely-guarded municipal secret. The only official comments thus far, from Mayor Mark Gerretsen, point to an independent probe into an alleged breach of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Code of Conduct rules. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s related to last fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing into the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revamped district boundaries. While Coun. Glover exchanged emails with a city-hired expert on municipal boundaries in advance of the OMB hearing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether the type or tone of those emails is what caught the attention of the city solicitor, who was said to be concerned enough that he recommended to council that an Integrity Commissioner be called upon. An investigation was ordered Dec. 3. The outcome of the probe could be known before March, and provincial law says Rust-Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report must be made public along with any recommendations or advice to council. Coun. Gloverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in the district boundary battle is well documented. He voted in the minority when council tried to exclude post-secondary students from the population count. He later

Public library hopes Kingston is University towns offer lukewarm response to Kingston’s studentup for “Downton” event counting motion By Kelly Reid Reporter
Heritage Events - Last November, the Kingston Frontenac Public Library held a series titled “Austentation,” which involved a month’s worth of programming dedicated to Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. Now, the library’s Director of Programming and Outreach, Kimberley Sutherland Mills, is looking forward to launching a similar series next month. This time, though, the cultural reference point will be the BBC’s popular dramatic series Downton Abbey. “We’re hoping to continue to build on the success of Austentation,” explains Kimberley. “We had a really positive response from the community.” Downton Abbey, like most of Austen’s work, focuses on British upper-crust society. The library believes that many of the Austentation fans will be back for more. “We know there’s a lot of interest,” she goes on. “It’s great for anyone that wants to get a glimpse behind the curtain.” Kimberely says that even non-Downton watchers will enjoy the series – Will and Kate fans, for instance, people of British heritage, or even just the genuinely curious can enjoy the events. The series, titled Dreaming of Downton, will open on Feb. 4 with “Confessions of an Underbutler.” It will be an informal talk in which local resident Sue Bates will describe her experiences working for a wellto-do family in England. Also lined up are two film screenings: Gosford Park starring Maggie Smith, and The Remains of the
Day starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. The final event will be Celebrating Afternoon Tea, at which attendees will learn the rituals behind a proper afternoon tea. Guests are invited to bring a beloved teacup and dress in period garb, though neither is required. Several guests will also give demonstrations on making “the perfect pot of tea” as well as scones with Devon cream. “Most of the events are targeting teens and adults,” says Kimberley, but there is one special event for tots. A Teddy Bear Tea will take place on the morning of March 1, during the library’s usual children’s story time. Kids can bring along their favourite teddy bear, listen to the story, and then enjoy some juice “tea” and teddy graham crackers. No advance registration is required, but Kimberely advises that families arrive early as space is limited. “There’s already a lot of buzz,” Kimberley says of how the community is anticipating the series. “People knew something special was coming.” Given what a hit Austentation became and the projected success of Dreaming of Downton, she hopes that the library can continue to run such programs. “I’d like to do something with a little extra splash every couple of months,” she says. “We’ve always had lots of programming for kids, but this is about reaching out to the community and getting adults involved as well.” All events are free of charge, but some do require pre-registration.

Kingston Heritage – Ontario’s university towns don’t appear to be in any hurry to follow Kingston’s lead to count post-secondary students when deciding electoral boundaries. City council approved a motion last November asking the provincial government and other municipalities with post-secondary students to include them in the population count. The motion followed an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) ruling ordering Kingston to include thousands of college and university students in the revamped municipal districts – something that’s never been done before. Mayor Mark Gerretsen insisted that Kingston’s student population estimates should become the province-wide standard when establishing electoral boundaries. His motion seeking the endorsement of other communities was carried 9-4 and mailed off to the government, cities, colleges and universities. However, only a handful of municipalities have bothered to respond to Kingston’s motion so far, and none has made a commitment to making the changes voluntarily. Letters from London, Oshawa, Belleville and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne acknowledge receipt of the motion, but little else. The response from the
clerks offices in London and Oshawa note the policy of their councils is not to take action on resolutions from other cities but, rather, to make its positions known to associations or the government, if needed. Premier Wynne’s letter was also non-committal, and suggested the matter will be left in the hands of her municipal affairs minister, Linda Jeffrey. “I trust that the minister will also take council’s views into consideration,” she wrote. The corporate services office in Belleville says it received the request but plans to take “no further action.” Kingston’s mayor says he isn’t disheartened by the responses. “Change will come but it takes time.” He says Kingston will continue to lobby the issue with Ontario cabinet ministers for a province-wide standard. “When we’re out there meeting with various ministers we’ll be promoting this to see if we can get this to catch on in other municipalities.” Several universities are starting to get behind the concept, Gerretsen added. Coun. Bill Glover, who voted against the one-forall, all-for-one motion, says it was little more than a face saving exercise. “I thought it was a garbage, silly, stupid motion.” Kingston would take great exception if another community told the city how to con-
duct its business, he added. The OMB ruling last fall was specific to Kingston and does not compel other municipalities to follow suit. The Board sided with Kingston student groups and the Sydenham neighbourhood association that had challenged council’s decision to exclude college and university students in the population when updating the district boundaries for the first time since 1998. Board member Sylvia Sutherland said council “acted unreasonably” and effective representation requires that each district have relatively equal numbers of total population. Sutherland recognized that other college and university towns do not have the same rules as Kingston because they either haven’t revised their electoral districts, or student exclusion wasn’t raised as a point of contention. The revised districts around Queen’s University and St. Lawrence College will include about 11,000 students for this fall’s civic election, but the OMB expects the full student population to be counted in districts in time for the 2018 election. Some have complained it will be a costly process to track down the addresses of students given their transient nature with a 25 per cent turnover in the student population every year.

The things that would make Mary happy could fill a book Mary Cook Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Lifestyle - It was unusual for Miss Crosby to break with routine. But that Friday the snow was coming down so heavily, we couldn’t see the barns when we got up in the morning, and that had a lot to do with her changing our usual afternoon school day work. Parents would be coming with sleighs and cutters to take us home, which in itself was unusual. The weather had to be pretty fierce to warrant a ride to or from the Northcote School! And so Miss Crosby announced after recess, we all could put our books away, keeping out only our grammar notebooks. We had at least an hour to put in. Miss Crosby said, to cheer us up on that cold and blustery Friday, we were to write (or in my case, print), all the things we could think of that made us happy. I gathered seeing bad Marguirite falling flat on her face was not exactly what
Miss Crosby had in mind. She also said, we were to take our grammar books home to finish up our lists as homework. I could see the senior pupils writing with great speed, whereas it took me forever to print my very first line in my scribbler. I had absolutely no trouble coming up with the very first thing that made me happy on a winter’s day, especially on that particular Friday. Father would be coming with the flat-bottom sleigh, I would be sitting in the very front with him, wrapped in the fur blanket he would toss in before leaving the barns. And I would be listening to the sleigh bells hanging around the necks of King and Queen, as they plop-plopped through the deep snow. I thought, back then, that the sleigh bells made the most beautiful sounds in the whole world. I especially liked them at night, driving in our long lane, or coming across the snow-covered twentyacre field. Often they would lull me to sleep, leaning against Father’s shoulder, and I would feel the utmost contentment and happiness. And so sleigh bells headed my list.
Smelling freshly baked bread when I walked in the house after coming from school simply had to go on my list too. And seeing the high, fat loaves, lined up on the bake table, and knowing I would be able to claim the outside crust off at least one of them, caused my mouth to water, as I printed homemade bread on my list. And crawling into beds that had been made up with fresh sheets taken off the clothes line that day gave me special joy and a great feeling of happiness. I would fall asleep with my nose crushed into the pillow to get the most benefit of the new smell, and wrap the sheet tight around my neck. And the scent would stay with me until my eyes heavily closed. The next day, the wonderful smell of freshness would be gone, but that night I would have nestled into a sweet happiness of sheer joy. Listening to my sister’s sweet voice, singing softly at night in bed, brought me special joy. Walking hand-in-hand with my best friend Velma to the Northcote School...girls did that back then, and knowing in my heart we would be best friends for ever... that brought me joy.
When Mother could take something out of the hand-me-down box sent from Regina by Aunt Lizzie, like a man’s suit coat, or a once lovely blouse, or a man’s shirt, and take it apart, and it would turn into something I could wear to school... to me, brand spanking new...that brought me happiness. And I would feel such joy, knowing what a clever Mother I had. Just having a few pennies tied into the corner of my hanky, tucked in the very back of my washstand drawer, and thinking how rich I was, brought me a special feeling. I would handle it carefully, and one day I would take it into Walker’s Store in Renfrew and perhaps buy new hair ribbons, or walk down to the Dime Store and buy some butterscotch discs to suck on the way home to the farm. Such luxury back then when a few pennies could make the difference between feeling poor and rich. On a freezing Monday, knowing Mother had done the weekly wash, when I came home from school, I would know that the laundry would have been taken off the line to finish it’s drying in the kitchen. Everything would be stiff as boards, with Father’s and the brother’s
long combination underwear standing like white soldiers against the wall by the stove frozen solid. The smells in the kitchen would be of freshness, and outdoors, and homemade soap, and I would sit and watch to see what piece of underwear would succumb to gravity first. I could never explain why just seeing the clean clothes, and inhaling the fresh smell of the frosty outdoors, brought me such happiness, but it did. I printed until it was bedtime. I would have a lot to share with Miss Crosby on Monday. Maybe I would get a little gold star stuck onto the page of my grammar scribbler. I went to bed thinking of all the things that could make me happy. And I knew then, the list would be endless. Even though there was little money for frivolity or luxuries, I had far more to write about than would fit into my grammar book. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

In Our Opinion
Body acceptance? Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stretch. Hollie Pratt-Campbell Assistant Editor
@hollieprattcamp
Heritage Editorial - To everyone who follows me on Instagram: I feel like an apology is in order. The month of January has not been a typical stream of cute photos of Summer and other random pretty things that catch my eye. Instead, you have been subjected to photo after photo of me doing yoga â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not exactly the prettiest sight in the world, but something that has become important to me nonetheless. Allow me to explain myself. Early in the month, I noticed that a number of the bloggers I follow were participating in something called the #jan14yogachallenge. For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak hashtag, this means that every day in January 2014 you have someone photograph you (or photograph yourself) doing the yoga pose of the day. The pose is determined by someone called @beachyogagirl, a gorgeous blonde woman who lives on a beach in southern Florida and appears to Instagram nothing other than amazing pictures of herself doing yoga on said beach. I find @beachyogagirl very inspiring - for her yoga skill, for her beauty, and, of course, for the amazing place she calls home. I was so
inspired that I decided to participate in this challenge. Only instead of gorgeous blonde locks and a perfectly formed pose on a beautiful sunny beach, my poor Instagram followers get frumpy old me awkwardly stumbling into a half-assed version of the same pose in my blah living room. There are two reasons why I have continued with this challenge, both of which are quite selfish. The first reason is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improving my photography skills. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to being behind the camera, and have very little experience taking timed photos of myself with my DSLR. Because I have a small child who requires constant attention, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much easier to run home at lunch when the house is empty and snap one of myself than it is to set something up in the morning or evening when Steve and Summer are home. Plus, the lighting is crap then anyway at this time of year. Figuring out where to place the camera for the perfect angle then running to get into the pose on time has been a fun challenge. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve moved furniture, brought out stacks of books and even invented my own little camera-holding contraption in an attempt to get things just right. Secondly, contrary to what one might assume, the #jan14yogachallenge is a great exercise in body acceptance. Those who have followed my column for a while know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dealt with disordered eating and body confidence (or lack thereof)-related issues since I was a teenager, and that
these are problems I am trying hard to overcome in order to set a positive example for Summer. I have practiced yoga for many years, mostly in studios that have no mirrors, and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say that how I imagined myself looking in these poses is quite a bit different from how I actually look. At first I thought there was no way I was ever going to post pictures that highlight how wide my hips are or the flab on my upper arms. Then I went through a phase where I thought, no, I would do the challenge because it would be a great incentive for me to lose weight, and off I started down that familiar destructive path. Then one day mid-month I had a breakthrough. I thought, who cares if people see how big my hips look in headstand? If people want to think lesser of me because of my ample, child-bearing hips, then so be it. Most people I know wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anyway because most people I choose to associate with arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t superficial morons. Then it occurred to me that hey, maybe I should stop being a superficial moron too when it comes to judging myself. I have no idea if this amazing feeling of body confidence will last, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m enjoying it while it does. That, and the fun photography element of the challenge, is why I will continue to bombard my followers with yoga selfies for the remainder of the month. Once again, I apologize to my Instagram friends, and thank them for their patience as I pursue this indulgence.
Hoping â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the shadowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a no-show Heritage Editorial - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the end of January, finally, and time for that special day known as Groundhog Day. This Sunday, Kingstonians and many Canadians will wait for that crucial moment when a groundhog wakes from hibernation and decides our winter fate. The tradition, for those that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware, states that if the groundhog sees its shadow we will suffer through six more weeks of winter, but if there is no shadow, spring will come early. Groundhog Day is celebrated annually in North America on Feb. 2 and some Christian churches celebrate Candlemas on this day. Other people mark Groundhog Day as the date to take down their Christmas decorations. In Wiarton, Ontario, Groundhog Day is celebrated with a weekend-long festival that receives national and international attention each year. Wiarton Willie is perhaps the most famous groundhog and the residents of this small Ontario town gather each year, with extreme seriousness, to see what exactly Willie will predict. While it may not be the same Willie each year (groundhogs have a lifespan of four to nine years), the prediction is done at an exact time each year, and thorough records have been kept since Willies first prediction in 1956. The events grow in size and scope each year and include dances, contests, parades, and pancake breakfasts. With all of this hoopla, we have to question the validity behind it all. Can a groundhog actually predict the weather and the arrival of spring? There is much debate surrounding this question and if you ask a Groundhog Day organizer they will surely answer differently than an actual meteorologist. According to meteorology, Willie has been accurate only 37 per cent of the time, but organizers will tell you he is right 90 per cent of the time. Perhaps the truth lies in your level of optimism and dedication to Groundhog Day. Maybe this is a glass half full or half empty type of scenario. Regardless, Groundhog Day traditions are still going strong with multiple other groundhogs across Canada participating each year, like Gary the Groundhog in Ontario, Brandon Bob in Manitoba and Balzac Billy in Alberta. Perhaps the tradition is just our Canadian way of dealing with winter? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sure had a heck of a winter thus far, and even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in Groundhog Day you must be hoping, like us, that they do not see their shadows this year. Come on spring!
Letter to the editor: School board trustees needed To the Editor: As Chair of the Limestone District School Board, I know how important our schools and the education of our children and youth are to each and every one of us. School Board Trustees are committed to promoting and enhancing public education and ensuring the best possible learning environment for every student. As municipal elections draw near, which include the election of School Board Trustees, we encourage all candidates running to represent constituents at all levels of government across our school district to learn more about the significant issues facing public education today. Some of these issues include closing student achievement gaps, declining enrolment and school accommodation. Declining enrolment, aging and surplus school facilities, and ris-
ing renewal and operation costs are certainties in our future. Providing our students with meaningful and relevant program choices and opportunities within this environment is indeed a challenging task. Maintaining the status quo is no longer feasible, or responsible, if we are to preserve the quality of public education that the community has rightfully come to expect. Working with our communities, we must address all accommodation and program needs throughout our school district. The Board has recently conducted five reviews that have resulted in adjusted boundaries, school consolidations and the construction of three new schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most recent of which is the recently opened Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to ensure we are providing the best educational environments possible in the face of ongoing program demands, student

Hockey Night in ‘Smashville’ gets two thumbs up Lifestyle – I attended ‘Hockey Night in Smashville’ recently and I’m still telling anyone who will listen about an absolutely fabulous experience. Over the years I’ve enjoyed
watching all kinds of team sports in person in arenas, stadiums and on fields of all shapes and sizes in North America and Europe. Nothing quite compares with the experience I had in Nashville, Tennessee two weeks ago! The occasion was the National R0012516043
February 1st & 2nd, 2014
R0011881563
Hockey League (NHL) game between the host Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators Jan. 11. You will now get the play on words I am sure! It’s part of the hype Preds’ management uses to bring people to the hockey club’s home, Bridgestone Arena. My visit to Middle Tennessee was enjoyable in so many ways. While people in eastern Ontario were dealing with the fallout from the latest round of snow and freezing rain, followed by more cold rain, I was soaking up the sun in Tennessee. On that Saturday morning I was sitting on the front porch at our friends Doug and Jennifer Sharp in Franklin, an upscale suburb of Nashville. As the mercury rose toward a high of 58F (14C), I enjoyed a cup of tea outside, in shirt sleeves, on a January morning. It felt like April at home. Hockey was the main feature of this particular trip south however. I have seen Sens’ games in person many times since Ottawa returned to the NHL in 1992. Their recent outing in spring-like Nashville marked the first time I have seen the team perform on the road. This was a very special occasion. I am the current chairman of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee and our community has been twinned with Franklin since 2005. I was accompanied to Tennessee by the recently named 2013 Citizen of the Year for Carleton Place, Bob White. Before going into details about the hockey game, I want to mention

Working with an Interior Designer
What is an interior designer? An interior designer is a trained professional with knowledge of interior design concepts and finishes. They understand the various genres and styles of architecture, furnishings, wallcoverings, colours and fabrics, and have the ability to put these all together to create an atmosphere that truly reflects the personality of the client.
Tips on finding a designer • Word of mouth – a good reputation speaks for itself • Interview potential candidates before you commit. Ask to see a portfolio of work they’ve done and discuss schedules and fees involved. • Fees may be based on hourly rates, daily billing or fixed depending on the project.
Getting started An interior designer will meet with and work closely with you to discuss your family’s lifestyle and daily activities, your design ‘wish list’, which rooms in your home you’d like to revive or improve and budget expectations. Your designer will then take this information and develop a strategy that will make the best use of funds that are available. Designers can work on a variety of projects and a variety of budgets – from acting simply as a consultant or supplier, a liaison between you and a contractor or builder or an excellent industry contact. A designer can help give your home that ‘wow factor’ which can be
10 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, January 30, 2014
especially beneficial if you’re thinking about selling it and setting it apart from other homes on the market. Interior designers often provide both design consultation and product specification, which allows you to work with one supplier rather than having to seek out a number of reliable sources. Designers can specify and order a large selection of wall coverings, draperies, paints, accessories, floor coverings and furniture, using reputable suppliers and quality products. You save time and money and make the best use of your designer’s expertise. An interior designer can use their skills to make your home design vision a reality. Whether you’re looking for small change or a complete makeover, a designer can possess that ‘eye for design’ to help your home tell its own personal story, room by room with every detail. The expert design staff at Tall Pines Interiors can help you each step of the way. Visit them at www.tallpinesinteriors.com for more information about their products and services.
Grudge match
A few years ago our Sister City committees began a new tradition. With NHL teams located in both Ottawa and Nashville it was only a matter of time before Carleton Place and Franklin teed up an annual “grudge match.” Delegations from Tennessee have visited what is now the Canadian Tire Centre (CTC) twice, the most recent occasion being in February 2012. The teams split those matches, with Sens victorious in the 2012 contest. Last year representatives from our committee were supposed to attend the annual meeting between the teams which was scheduled for Nashville. That contest was scrubbed due to the player lockout which dramatically cut the 2012-

Hiring an interior designer can make this process a little less stressful and help you achieve a personal, stylish and beautiful look for your home. Common myths about interior designers are that they’re only used by the rich and famous or that they will take over your home and throw out all of your belongings! Rest assured, an interior designer will be respectful of budget and work with you to design a look that fits your home and its existing elements.
that we also met with the Mayor of Franklin, Dr. Ken Moore, attended a Sister City function and held informal discussions with members of the Franklin and Williamson County Sister City Board. The committee discussions pertained to our mutual activities, including an annual Student Exchange. We also talked about long-term plans including celebrations to mark the 10th anniversary of the twinning next January. Franklin and Carleton Place have several things in common. The main point of comparison is that we are both growing bedroom communities located just outside capital cities. Ottawa, my hometown, is of course the capital of Canada. Nashville, 15 miles (24 kilometres) north of Franklin, is a capital city twice. It is best known as the ‘Country Music Capital’ of the world. But Nashville is also the capital (the American spelling is ‘capitol’) of the State of Tennessee. The state’s historic and impressive, administrative headquarters sits high atop Capitol Hill, overlooking the city centre. James K. Polk, the 11th President of the United States, is interred on the east side of the State Capitol.

2013 NHL campaign. With those labour troubles now a distant memory, the league schedule is again unfolding normally. The teams play in different conferences and prior to this season they met just once every campaign. This season the reworked schedule will see Sens and Preds face-off twice, two weeks ago in Tennessee and again on Monday, March 10 at CTC. Not to put too fine a point on it, Carleton Place now leads “the committee series” 2-1. Senators captured a hard fought contest 2-1 in a shootout in Nashville Jan. 11. Because people in Franklin will read this column I will only say that Bob and I were pleased with the outcome. I promised not to rub it in! Besides, Ottawa and Nashville meet again here in only a few weeks. To me it was the experience of attending a hockey game at Bridgestone Arena that was most impressive. I was blown away by the atmosphere in the building and how Nashville fans have embraced their team and the sport. Senators and their supporters could take lessons. True, it costs much less to attend a game in Nashville and many of the spectators are a little too wrapped up in the physical aspects of hockey – i.e. “Smashville.” There was one fight during the game and I didn’t like the crowd reaction to the fisticuffs. But then I believe fighting should be totally banned from the sport. Still, one short fight didn’t lessen our enjoyment of a night at Bridgestone Arena. The location of the facility in the heart of Nashville’s entertainment district is a huge plus that makes the setting of CTC totally baffling. More on that later. Bridgestone isn’t as large as Ottawa’s suburban complex. It seats just over 17,000 for hockey compared to 19,153 (20,500 with standing room) at CTC. The public areas don’t seem as spacious either. The seating is well positioned however and the “nosebleed section” is smaller. We were seated in the first level and right on top of the play so that gave us an inherent advantage. The action is always better when you’re close to the ice! I was seated beside a young man from the Franklin group, Scott Kriebel, who is a huge Predators’ fan. He provided an ongoing description of the arena, the composition of the team along with some very interesting views about the NHL. Anyone here who thinks people in the American south don’t know anything about hockey can think again. Scott even knows Predators’ farm system inside and out. The noise level and the enthusiasm inside Bridgestone are amazing! On the way in every fan was handed a small package. It contained a large, soft cookie from a sponsoring bakery. It was melt in your mouth delicious. Country music

As you would expect in “Music City” the anthems were sung by a country group (I don’t know much about country music). They were good on ‘O Canada’. But their version of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ sent shivers up and down my spine. Continued on page 27

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kingston host an evening of comedy to raise funds for programming By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Events – Laughter is a great way to bring people together, so why not host a comedy show for a cause? That is exactly the thought behind the Big Brothers Big Sisters upcoming fundraiser at Absolute Comedy in Kingston. “This is the first time we have done a fundraiser like this,” said Camille Orellano, Community Relations Developer for Big Brothers Big Sisters KFL&A. “We have a fund development committee and it consists of various volunteers. One of our volunteers, Monica, proposed the idea of doing a fundraising comedy show. She has been to a few shows and she thought it would be a lot of fun.” The fundraiser will take place on Jan. 30 at the new Absolute Comedy Club in Kingston. Orellano hopes that it will help generate some buzz for their annual Bowl for Kids fundraiser in March and hopefully attract some new donors too. “We are trying to get some new people to come out to different events and attract a different audience,” said Orellano. “We are hoping to hit different demographics that we haven’t been able to reach in terms of fundraising before and educate them on
the agency and the other events that are coming up.” Funds raised through the comedy night will go to fund core programming for the organization. It will help with matches, inschool mentoring programs and Go Girls! and Game On! School programs. While they do receive a lot of donations throughout the year, funding programs can be difficult from year to year. “We usually have to get grants for our school programs and a lot of granters don’t like funding programs that have been around for a long time, they like to focus more on the newer more exciting programs. This makes it a bit harder for us to get funding and we are also always in need of funding for our core programming and matching,” explained Orellano. The comedy night will feature a headliner, Marc Sinodinos, and many members of Big Brothers Big Sisters will be in attendance, including volunteers that can provide testimonials to those that want to learn more about the program. “We’re inviting our volunteers to come, but we are recommending that younger children not attend because the content may not be appropriate for them. It is great to have the volunteers there for members of the community to ask them questions and for them
talk about their experiences. People like to know that their money is going to a good cause and our volunteers can certainly attest to that,” added Orellano. Overall, the evening is sure to be filled with laughter and fun. Orellano hopes that it is something that can be repeated in the future and she urges people to come out and support a great cause. “I think it is a unique fundraiser and one that I have not seen myself. It is a great opportunity to support kids in the local community and provide them with opportunities that they may not have otherwise. There are many important causes out there, but we address issues that a lot of other agencies overlook. We want to help kids realize their potential and help them see that there are opportunities for them to find friendship and mentorship and that is invaluable.” Tickets for the event are $15.

Kingston represented on Team Canada cheerleading team mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage News – There is a lot of talk about Team Canada in the news recently, especially with the Olympics fast approaching, but there was a different Team Canada announced last week, one that includes multiple cheerful Kingstonians. Team Canada Cheerleading was recently selected and the 28-member all female and 29-member co-ed teams will be coached, in part, by Kingston’s own Sandy Han. Han is no stranger to cheerleading. She has been coaching for the past 28 years and spent many of those years at Queen’s before becoming part of Kingston Elite Cheerleading nine years ago. This year is the first year Han has coached with Team Canada and she couldn’t be more excited. “Last year the selection committee for Team Canada asked me to be a coach for the team, but because of my teaching commitments, I wasn’t able to get the time off to do it,” explained Han who is a teacher at Regiopolis Notre Dame. “This year I was able to organize my schedule and luckily they asked me again. I am very grateful to be a part of the team.” Han certainly has her work cut out for her as Canada moves towards a much more competitive level of the competition. Instead of competing in the Elite competition level at the World Championships, Canada has chosen to compete at the next level up – Premier. “Canada has won at the Elite level for the past five years, but this year the committee decided that they want to focus more on the Premier level and not compete in the Elite level. So that means that we will be going head to head with the United States on a much more competitive level than in the past which is a pretty big task.”

Han is confident that the team will do well, but before that can happen the teammates will go through a very intense training camp at the end of March and then train more when they arrive in Orlando, Florida prior to the April 24 and 25 Championships. “Training camp will be incredibly intense,” added Han. “We usually start at 7 a.m. and go until midnight. We don’t really get that much time to work together as a team so we have to make it count.” Because Canada is so large, tryouts for the team occurred through online submission. Those interested in being part of the team submitted videos that showcased their skills and met certain criteria. Coaches looked for team members that were very technically strong so that they could manage a routine that will hopefully ridowntown - 252-256 Princess street val the Americans.

Igniting a ‘spark’ in St. Lawrence students By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage News - Imagine gaining real world work experience and building a portfolio while still pursuing a college program in your desired field. This is exactly what students in the Spark program at St. Lawrence College are receiving as of this January. The program comes as part of a funding grant from the Ontario government called the Productivity and Innovation fund. “Funding was given to institutions that applied and there is a part of the grant that requires the money to be used to enhance the hybrid learning environment and that is where Spark comes in,” explained Ricardo Giuliani, Instructor in the Integrated Marketing and Communications program at St. Lawrence College. “The College is rewriting and revising its goals for the future and those will include a very interactive future that emphasizes hands-on learning and Spark will play a key role in supporting that mandate.” The program started with the funding and from there Giuliani bought production equipment, assessed the qualifications that came along with the funding and then hired students to run the program, which is actually a working production house. “My responsibility is to manage the students, coach them and look at the work that they are producing. We want to make sure that the quality is there in these materials and make sure that the professors are happy with the work too. It also allows the students to create a portfolio of work while they are still in school.” The group of students, seven in total, work on hybrid learning pieces for the faculty at St. Lawrence as well as the school itself. Instructors can use Spark to create introduction videos for their courses and the college can use it to create teaching videos that work for multiple faculties.
“An example is a video we did from one professor teaching students how to give presentations,” explained Giuliani. “Some programs don’t focus on how to do that and it is a valuable skill to have in order to communicate your ideas effectively. No matter what field you are in, you will have to make presentations of some kind and a professor may not have time to teach you how to give an effective presentation, but with this video, we can communicate these skills across the school and across all faculties. Our goal is to enhance the learning environment.” The group just started working on projects when classes resumed this semester and on Jan. 22 they held a launch party to let everyone, including faculty, know what they are all about. “We wanted to do a launch because we need the buy in from faculty,” added Giuliani, “We wanted to make sure that we could show them the services that are available and the products that they can receive through our services. The program is only a month old and in that month we were able to develop a brand and a marketing plan with seven students and now we are excited to launch it.” While the project is still in the very early stages of development, Giuliani and his partner, Mike Kusters, hope that it will succeed for years to come and hopefully branch off into doing more production work for the school and community. “This is a pilot project, with seven students working 12 hours a week, but they are really working hard to get these projects done,” said Giuliani. “They can really see the benefit of having this opportunity. This is a really unique opportunity for them to develop professional quality marketing and communications materials that they can use to show their experience and build a portfolio.” For more information on Spark and what they do go to www.sparkslc.ca

Local actor/director aims to spark more dialogue surrounding theatre in the Limestone City By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Heritage News - Local actor and director Will Britton has been a familiar face on the Kingston theatre scene for decades. Now, he is stepping back from the stage to focus on adding what he sees as a much-needed ingredient to the local theatre community. Through his new blog, Kingston Theatre Reviews, Britton hopes to create a dialogue in the Limestone City sur-
rounding the many productions staged by local amateur and professional theatre companies. “It just seemed that there was a bit of a hole there that warranted it,” he explains. “It’s not unusual for me after I see a show to get a bunch of messages or questions about what I thought of it, what my reactions were. I think the hole there isn’t just specific to Kingston, but everywhere - what’s missing is just that dialogue after a show.” Indeed, Britton emphasizes that while
he will be the one writing reviews, others who have also seen the plays will be encouraged to give their own opinions in the posts’ comment sections. “I think [local director and actor] Gord Love put it best when he said that theatre is meant for diverse audiences, and it doesn’t matter how thoughtful, thorough or eloquent one reviewer may be, there’s no way that person’s voice and perspective can cover everything for everyone. I’m really hoping that with the blog format there will be a lot more discussion about the shows that are going on, as opposed to just me posting ‘this is what I think’ and that being the be all and end all.” Of course, as one who has worked in local theatre for many years, Britton is friends with many of the artists he will be critiquing – something that could presumably present a challenge considering the fact that not everything he has to say will be positive. All the same, Britton remarks that as one who has been in their position many times, the very idea
that someone is taking the time to see the show, put some thought into what they saw and write a review of it means a lot. “I think that the artists and the people working on the shows welcome the feedback as much as everybody else if not more than everybody else. Of course they’d like to hear positive things, but at the same time part of the whole [artistic process] is about putting yourself out there and self-development and selfimprovement and I think criticism is part of it.” As one who has a wide range of theatre experience - from acting, directing and costuming to the more technical aspects of a show like sound and lighting - Britton says his reviews will be very thorough and touch on pretty much every aspect of a production. Kingston Theatre Reviews blogger “But then ultimately when it comes to Will Britton. recommending the show or not, I don’t think that should necessarily be on tech- recognition for what they do and that the nical merit,” he adds. “There really is a response he has received so far has made question for me of did it entertain me? him even more confident that the blog I think that’s what the average audience review format was something that was member wants to know and what they’re needed. gauging it on.” “It’s been amazing – the vast majorAs a way of clearly communicat- ity of the comments I’ve had at this point ing the entertainment value to readers, have been ‘thanks for taking this on’, Britton will use a star system.

Heritage News – Delta Kappa Gamma Society International (DKG) is a professional honorary Society of women educators. The Kingston chapter includes approximately 30 active members and they all do their part in promoting female educators in the community. Each year the Nu Chapter in Kingston honours two or three girls with a scholarship to help with their final year of education. The scholarships are given out in honour of former member Margaret Craig, who was key in establishing DKG in Kingston. Craig spent many years battling cancer, but throughout her battle she stayed positive and worked hard to promote female education and the support network that now exists at DKG. This year, two scholarships were given out at the group’s monthly meeting in January. After going through multiple applications, the members chose two Queen’s students as the recipients for this year’s scholarships. “We received 30 applications from Queen’s, 15 of which arrived on time and were complete,” explained DKG Nu Chapter member Sylvia Dopking. “Every one of the 15 that we read was from an exceptional young woman. It was so hard to make a decision after reading the applications. We looked at the applications again and we made our choices. The three of us on the committee made our choices independently and when we said who our top students were, we were in complete agreement.” DKG promotes professional and personal growth of its members and excellence in education, and the same standards are
held for the scholarships. This year’s recipients were Laura Ball and Sarah Hagran, who are both currently in the education program at Queen’s. Dopking briefly explained what made each of their applications stand out. “The thing that got us about Laura is that she, for the last four years, has worked for an organization called Girls Incorporated whose mandate is to inspire strong, smart and bold attitudes in girls. That is the magic that we saw in her application,” said Dopking at the meeting. “Sarah spoke of her passion for educating in her application too and how a summer position ignited her passion and helped her find her niche as an educator. She wants to be an aboriginal educator and in March she is going to New Zealand to study aboriginal education there. We wanted nothing more than to help her with this endeavor.” Both girls graciously accepted their $850 scholarship and they explained how humbling it is to be surrounded by a group of supportive women. “Promoting female educators is a huge part of my life and it is for all of you too and it feels very humbling and welcoming to be here and be a part of this,” said Ball. “I was saying to Sarah in the car that I almost didn’t apply for this because I thought there were so many people out there who have done so many amazing things and I didn’t want to get excited about something and then not have it happen. Finding out that it did happen made me feel really honoured, especially because everyone here cares so much about education.” For more information on Delta Kappa Gamma International and the work they do visit www.dkg. org

Reading and writing and remediation By Mark Bergin
said Harrison. “We say we work in tears. Parents come and they see in hard numbers how far behind their child is. Or a parent will talk about their own struggles with reading. Or their child is upset about doing the work. There are lots of tears. Then there are parental tears when the child starts improving and putting their hand up in class for the first time.” Maclean said children who have difficulty reading are highly distressed and discouraged. That sparked her interest in a campaign for change in the educational system. “One, we can remediate these kids and, two, we want to get teachers trained so they know how to do things in Kindergarten and Grade 1.” Harrison added that the public education piece involves alerting parents and teachers that dyslexia issues have nothing to do with IQ. “There’s an untapped potential,” she said. Maclean emphasized that there is good teaching happening in the local school boards. “We have good teachers. It’s an issue of teachers not being trained in specific areas like dyslexia remediation,” she said. “They can go through their Reading Specialist I and II training at university Continued on page 26

For some children, reading comes naturally. For others, not so much. Despite the best efforts of many parents, some children have difficulty learning to read. These children may be very bright, but when you can’t read well, it doesn’t take long to start feeling stupid. Without the ability to communicate in written form, one cannot read a public sign, a transit map, a book, a menu, a birth announcement or thousands of other important documents. Jan Maclean, an occupational therapist, was one of those parents who watched her children struggle with reading. She learned that dyslexia, the most common form of learning disability, is neurologically based, and is responsive to specialized, intensive treatment. This approach was not available in Ontario, so she travelled to the United States to find help. “We actually know how to teach these kids to read,” she said. “We got help for my kids. They learned to read.” Her son later told her, “I can remember feeling stupid, but I don’t feel stupid anymore.” Maclean became committed to developing the skills to become a specialized reading therapist. She teamed up with Jennifer Harri-
son and together they trained in a number of multi-sensory structured language programs, including the Orton-Gillingham approach and in 2002 opened The Reading Clinic, which now comprises eight staff members. The clinic’s programs have been so successful, they also launched writing and math remediation programs. “No one talks about fixing the problem,” said Maclean. “That’s what The Reading Clinic is all about. This is way more fixable than people thought.” She has the data to prove it. A study by Queen’s University researchers evaluated the effectiveness of the reading remediation program at The Reading Clinic. Following 50 children between the ages of six and 12, the research showed that children in the program improved in a range of reading skills approximately three times as fast as they had been improving prior to participating at the clinic, and approximately twice as fast as normally-achieving children. Maclean doesn’t blame teachers for the systemic shortcoming. “The training isn’t provided at teachers’ college,” she said. “Teachers are really distressed by not knowing how to move forward.” “Everything we do is based on the science of the past 25 years,”

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, January 30, 2014 21
From oil paint to tin cans: discussion on what makes a good piece of contemporary art at the heart of OKWA 25th anniversary show public is supposed to think of all this,” Derby says. “Lots of times, people don’t have a clue what’s going on in contemporary art. And there’s a reason for that – it’s because it’s all over the place.” Derby, for example, is part of a large art movement that sees pieces made from “found” or recycled materials. “For whatever reason, there’s a real movement in sculpture away from the typical materials - marble, wood, etc. into these really weird areas with different sculpture materials,” she explains. Currently, Derby creates friezes out of tin cans. A piece from her series entitled “The Road to Seeley’s Bay” will be featured in the OWKA show. “I drive to Seeley’s Bay a lot to see a friend, and that’s inspired by the landscape on the road,” she says. “I grew up in Kingston and I love the landscape around here. It’s so spare and rocky. What interests me are the actual physical surfaces of the landscape and the textures of them. I love all that stubble that sticks out of the ground in the fall and winter.” The beauty of contemporary art, she says, is that there are so many different accepted ways of representing the land or anything else an artist is inspired by. “You can either do an illusion of those textures with paint, or you can recreate the textures with something else,” Derby says. “So essentially that’s why I started with the found materials and that’s what interested me.” She is interested in seeing what the three panelists make of all this variety in contemporary art, and how they de-

Heritage Events - How do you judge the quality of a work of contemporary art? Local artist Jane Derby admits that this is no easy task, but it’s definitely a topic she wants to discuss as part of the Organization of Kingston Women Artists (OKWA)’s 25th anniversary show this February. “Usually we have one juror who picks three things and we give prizes, but this year we’re going to have three,” Derby says, explaining that “There’s always a lot of controversy around what the one juror picks because there is subjectivity in the choice, which is fine, but it’s always interesting what other people think.” The three jurors, writers Kamille Parkinson and Melanie Dugan, along with artist Daniel Hughes, will evaluate the pieces at the show’s opening reception, which takes place Feb. 8 in the Wilson Room of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library. Each will individually select their three favourite works, then present their choices in a panel format and lead what is expected to be an engaging, educational conversation about art and what makes a piece “good”. Members of the public are invited to attend the discussion, ask questions of the panel and perhaps learn something about today’s art in the process. “What’s really important for me is that it’s going to be an interesting conversation around what’s valued in contemporary art, who values it, and what the
Artist Jane Derby with one of her pieces from “The Road to Seeley’s Bay” termine her piece – and indeed all of the pieces in the show – measure up against each other. “It seems that in the past there was more of a consensus of what made good art and what didn’t. Everybody was painting the Virgin Mary at one point and either you painted a good Virgin Mary or you didn’t. But now

you’ve got people like me who work with tin cans, and then you’ve got people doing traditional and beautiful landscapes. So how does a person judge what’s going on here?” The works will be on display in the Wilson Room of the central branch of the Kingston Public Library from Friday, Jan. 31 to Wednesday, Feb. 26.

The opening reception will take place on Saturday, Feb. 8, from 2 to 5 p.m. Jurors and members of the public will have plenty of time to choose their favorites before the public forum.

Reading and writing and remediation Continued from page 21
and learn nothing about remediation.” The Reading Clinic encourages schools to have more resources within classrooms. She noted that out of hundreds of children assessed over the years, only about five knew all the sounds for single letters in the alphabet. “That’s where we start,” she said. “We are teaching a skill. And if we can get Kindergarten and Grade 1 teachers to make sure that skill is integrated, we will have taken a big step. When you unlock potential, you change futures. There is so much potential in these kids, but they haven’t been taught how to read. We’re talking some core and very basic skills.” The Reading Clinic offers intensive instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, syllabification, morphology, spelling, fluency and metacognition using extended practice and multisensory teaching strategies. The clinic is located in the basement of the old Robert Meek school
on Bagot Street. They’ve been so successful, they’ve added a clinic in the west end on Woodbine Avenue. “We don’t do any general tutoring,” said Maclean. “We are here for particular deficits. I want parents to know there is help for their child.” But Maclean emphasized that it all goes back to teachers colleges and school boards. “Dyslexic children are being discriminated against,” said Maclean. “It’s like children with physical challenges in the past. Some children are in wheelchairs. Schools only had stairs. No one was intentionally discriminating against those children, but they couldn’t get up stairs to go to school. We realized that and schools are now physically accessible. “But we are back in that past with dyslexic children,” she said. “We’re not intentionally discriminating against them, but the resources aren’t available in classrooms to enable those children to learn.” If a teacher has been trained and there are resources, it’s usually been on their own initiative. It is not pro-
vided on a system-wide basis. “The school boards end up providing technology instead,” said Maclean. “I’ve had so many parents who have been told, ‘Don’t worry, we can get a computer, they don’t need to learn to read like the other kids.’” Harrison added that technology does help these kids. “But let’s do all we can with the neurology that is there. There is a window of opportunity. Technology shouldn’t be our first response.” “We need to think of preventing reading failure before that window of opportunity closes,” said Maclean. “Once they’re nine and in Grade 3, the amount of remediation needed is much larger. We always say to parents that if the child hasn’t had a targeted remediation, they’re probably not at their potential level. There is a sense in the community that there’s nothing to do but accommodate these kids. That is so not true. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability. There is intervention and treatment that works.” Maclean did note that she’s start-
ing to see changes in school board attitudes. “They’re recommending that teachers come to our courses,” she said. “I feel for teachers. It’s not for lack of will. They try so hard, but they are given so few resources and why weren’t they given these skills in the first place at teachers colleges?” The Reading Clinic is a private centre. Maclean said she’d like to see their work extended into the public sphere and they’ve taken steps to initiate that. “There will always be those who can afford the best for their kids, but what about all the others?” They’ve started to implement programs with the Boys and Girls Club, whose centre is upstairs in the same building. “What we’re teaching is about strong decoding skills,” said Jennifer. “People say that’s not real reading. But if you don’t have those core skills and the basic mechanics of reading are not up and running, the higher level skills can’t occur.” Once a child falls behind in read-
ing, multiple others issues arise. “The emotional piece that goes on with these kids is half our work,” said Harrison. “A kid will often self-identify as the dumbest person in class. We talk about reading as a superpower. All the secrets of the world are open to you now because you can read.” “There is such human pain within the families’ stories,” said Maclean. “Kids pick up on the anxiety around their reading issue at home. They know in Kindergarten or Grade 1 that they’re behind other kids. We had one kid who was always hiding in the closet. I’ve had parents cry because they also acknowledge their own struggles with reading.” She stopped and after a moment’s silence said: “There are so many kids in pain. It doesn’t have to be so bad. What we are doing is all evidencebased. The research is available. We know what works.” The Reading Clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays.

Brace yourself for these musical masters By Mark Bergin
Black Violin. Remember that name. You may not have heard of them, but you’ve likely heard them. They’ve backed a lengthy list of popular musicians. Black Violin is Wilner “Wil B” Baptiste and Kevin “Kev Marcus” Sylvester. They sneak up on you. They cross cultures of race, age and musical genre. Imagine Brandenberg Concerto morphing into hip hop music. Ten year old kids sit wide-eyed listening to them. Young people throng to their music. Obama loves them so much that they played at his inauguration. They’ve collaborated and performed with such artists as Aretha Franklin, P. Diddy, Kanye West, 50 Cent, The Eagles and Tom Petty. “We’ve worked with so many great artists,” said Wil. “It’s an amazing journey. We’ve been doing it for 10 years and it feels like we’ve just started.” The beloved stage of the Grand Theatre has seen many acts over its storied history: Sarah Bernhardt; Houdini and his illusions; iconic cowboy poet Ian Tyson; symphonies; dance companies; theatre; Al Jolson; and jazz greats like Christian McBride. Many famed artists have graced the grand old setting. But never has it seen the likes of Black Violin. They’ll be there on Feb. 6. Black Violin is close to unclassifiable. They’re masters of many genres and they put them all together in one show. Black Violin is like the Houdini of music. You never know what they’ll do next and how they’ll escape a genre. Before you know it, they’ll be playing a classical piece before segueing into hip hop. Or bluegrass. Or jazz. Or the Brandenburg Concerto. If you think what Jimmy Page or Stanley Jordan have done for the guitar is stunning, wait until you hear what Black Violin does for strings. When we spoke last week, Black Violin had just finished one of several shows in Brooklyn, New York. Wil said their name honors the great jazz black violinist Stuff Smith. “Stuff Smith is someone who really inspired us,” says Wil. “When Kev
was in college, a prof gave him one of Stuff Smith’s CDs, Black Violin. We’re a couple of black guys who play viola and violin. The name seemed like an obvious one for us.” Wil explained that combining classical music with other genres comes naturally. “It started from the very beginning,” he said. “When you grow up listening to hip hop and reggae and you’re introduced to classical, you hear songs differently. I’d hear hip hop and also hear strings. You just hear things differently. I’d pick up the viola and try to play things I’d hear on TV.” That approach has kept them interested in music and on its leading edge. “For us, it’s always been fun,” he said. “With classical, there’s an idea that you have to play it this way. But with the hip hop and pop thing, you do what you feel. We’ve done that since we started playing. When we work in the studio or on stage, we’ve always done it but never thought it was anything different. But we always turn heads.” In 2004, Wil and Kev performed with Alicia Keys at the Billboard Awards. Next came the Apollo Theatre. The Apollo, in New York’s Harlem, is a majestic setting, a sanctum sanctorum in the music world. The likes of Prince, Gladys Knight, Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson have played there. In 2005, Black Violin received the title of Legend at the Apollo. You can’t fake it at there. The crowds know what’s real. “It’s the toughest crowd in the world,” said Wil. But Black Violin stole the show. They had everyone in the crowd on their feet. Last year, they headlined 40 shows at the New Victory Theater on Broadway. Their star is rising, and it’s about time. Wil and Kev met in high school. Wil said he was the quiet one. “I was a laidback kid,” said Wil. “People thought I was mute until I opened my mouth. Kev and I are total opposites.” In other words, Kev is the extrovert. Kev notes that his mom made him study violin. He discovered he loved it.
Black Violin’s Wil B, left, and Kev Marcus bring their groundbreaking music to the Grand Theatre on February 6. The classically trained pair combine their classical background when multiple genres, including hip hop, jazz and bluegrass. Wil wanted to learn the sax. He thought he was placed in the wrong class and ended up studying viola. He didn’t know until last year during some sold-out shows on Broadway that he’d been tricked. “My old music teacher came to the show and told me that it wasn’t a mistake that I was put in the ‘wrong’ class,” said Wil. “He had a bet with another teacher about whether they could get me to play strings instead of sax.” Apparently, it was a good choice. Wil has advice for young, upcoming musicians. “Be true to yourself,” he said. “It’s hard enough to try to be yourself in this world. Don’t try to imitate others. There’s no better way to find yourself than being yourself. Be genuine and you will get accepted. Put your best foot forward. Never stop dreaming or moving forward.”
He said there’ve been lows and highs in their career. “But if you didn’t have the lows, you wouldn’t enjoy the highs,” he said. Some of the highs have included playing for the troops in Iraq and performing at President Barack Obama’s inauguration. “That was incredible,” said Wil. “Seeing the President and First Lady, that whole environment was amazing. Being there and performing with people like Smokey Robinson and Usher, it was almost like, ‘What are we doing here?’ Being with artists so much bigger.” But no one at the presidential inauguration thought Black Violin was out of their league when they put on the kind of show no one had ever seen before. And what Wil didn’t mention was the handshake and hug from the president. Black Violin’s greatest obstacle is
that they don’t fit a classification. It’s hard to box them in and the entertainment industry likes to put labels on musicians and slide them into tidy packages. But that’s also the strength of Black Violin. In the past, no one’s done what they’ve done. They’re creating their own path. It won’t be long before everyone has heard of them. And remembers them. “How long we’ve stayed strong is definitely a blessing,” said Wil. You can be blessed by the sounds of Black Violin on Feb. 6, but good luck trying to sleep after their performance. Your legs will be twitching, wanting to dance all night. And your booty will be shaking. In a classical way. For tickets to Black Violin, go online to www.kingstongrand.ca or visit the Grand Theatre box office in person.
Hockey Night in ‘Smashville’ gets two thumbs up Continued from page 10
Everyone within my line of vision and hearing sang their hearts out. Patriotism is alive and well in Tennessee. Between periods, instead of watching the Zamboni circle the ice, we were treated to some excellent live music. The band was located on a permanent stage at the west end of the building. Nashville’s music scene isn’t entirely country by the way. Instead of a dumb looking mascot (sorry, Spartacat) Predators have a squad of pretty cheerleaders who hollered, smiled and waved throughout the contest.
The big TV screens aren’t as big as Ottawa’s but I thought Preds’ staff made better use of in-house television. There was something interesting flashed during every break. Not the plethora of commercials which feature in Canadian NHL rinks. Overall, the atmosphere was lively, loud and enjoyable. We were among a handful in the arena wearing Sens’ gear and we took some good-natured ribbing during the evening. Between periods a lady in the corridor stopped me to ask some questions about Ottawa. She also took the opportunity to say she was impressed when she
saw Senators’ captain Jason Spezza signing autographs and happily posing for photos with Predators’ fans before the game. Afterwards, basking in the euphoria of a Sens’ victory, our Franklin friends took us to Tootsie’s World Famous Orchid Lounge, one of the many honky tonks on Broadway, the main country music street in Nashville. Tootsie’s was jammed to the rafters and we spent several hours soaking up the amazing atmosphere and some American suds of course. Bridgestone Arena is so well located. It’s right downtown within a stone’s throw of so many restaurants and bars. That fact alone
makes the Nashville experience superior to Ottawa where the arena is poorly located in my opinion. Sports facilities should be where the action is, not stuck in a field in the suburbs. At least Ottawa can take a bow with respect to the Lansdowne Park (now TD Place) sports complex redevelopment which is closer to downtown. So, my final verdict on the Nashville NHL experience? I give Hockey Night in Smashville two big thumbs up! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com.

Ring in the Chinese New Year with food, fun and dance Heritage Events - In China, the Chinese New Year, or “spring festival”, as it is known there, is by far the largest celebration of the year. “[Just before New Year], tens of millions of people are on the move in China,” explains Meilan Fan, member of the Chinese Canadian Association of Kingston and District (CCAKD). “No matter where they are, how far they are from their home, before New Year’s Eve they try to go home to have a big dinner with their whole family. I read an article joking that in that period, so many people are travelling from one direction to the other at the same time it might affect the rotation of the earth, and I believe it.” For Chinese Canadians living in Kingston, the Chinese New Year is also a very special time. The 15-day celebration is determined by the lunar calendar, and so it takes place at different dates each year, normally in late January or early February. This year, the first day of “the year of the horse” falls on Jan. 31, and the CCAKD is organizing a very special community celebration to be held several days later on Feb. 8 at Our Lady of Fatima Parish. “We are doing this Feb. 8 because that was the date that’s available, and because the New Year itself is a family day,” says CCAKD president Hay Boon Mak. “We don’t go out, usually, everybody stays home.” While the annual potluck has been going on for a number of decades - ever since the inception of the CCAKD in 1977 - this is the first year the organization has opened it up to all members of the community. “We haven’t really shown this occasion to the general public, so we want to start doing that,” Mak says. “We’ve never publicized it in the past, so it’s only been our members basically.” Seeing as the event has historically had an extremely good turnout – over 250 people came out last year – organizers expect to host quite the
crowd. “I believe a lot of people in the community are interested in Chinese culture, but they may not be aware of our existence,” Fan says. “Now they can come and see oh, this is what we do on the New Year.” So what can people expect? In addition to a delicious spread of food, many different Chinese New Year traditions will be recognized. Children will be given red envelopes with small sums of money, for instance, symbolizing luck and prosperity for the new year. In addition, a lion dance will be performed. The lion dance can be traced to the origins of the Chinese New Year, recognizing another year’s symbolic “survival of the beast”. “The symbol of the lion dance is for any festivity,” Mak notes. “Even [when there is] a new building, they might bring in the lion dance to open the new building or a new business.” For those interested in attending but unsure of what to contribute to the potluck, Mak says that by no means are they expecting everyone to bring traditional Chinese New Year fare. “I think they should make what they are comfortable with. It will be interesting having their food, whatever type of cultural food they bring.” Indeed, he adds that even if someone arrives empty-handed, they will still be welcomed in. Fan notes that she hopes many people will come out and join in the celebration. “For us as Chinese, this is the biggest celebration of the year back home. We are in a different country here and it’s not a public holiday and everyone – our relatives and our family back home they are all having this celebration. We feel lonely and homesick. But at this occasion, we feel like we are all together – like we have a family, we have friends here to get together to celebrate.” The Chinese New Year Celebration Potluck Dinner Party takes place Saturday, Feb. 8 from 5 – 10 p.m. at Our Lady of Fatima Parish, located at 588 Division St. Admission for non-members is $10 per family.
