No deal yet: City & Union contract talks head to conciliation

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Contract talks between Kingston City Hall and its biggest union have hit a snag, but the two sides are trying to work through it.

“We’ve called in the help of a conciliator,” said Adam Bol, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) local 109.

“Talks haven’t broken down. We are still communicating,” he insisted.

CUPE represents more than 900 municipal workers including garbage collectors, bus drivers, snow plow drivers, bylaw enforcement, Rideaucrest support staff, social workers and administration. Their last contract expired Dec. 31, 2013.

It’s the first time in recent memory the

two sides have reached out for third party help to resolve their differences during contract talks.

However, Bol insists the collective bargaining process has made significant progress after a dozen meetings held since last November. “We’ve had a lot of things on the table that have been resolved. We’re just down to the last three or four issues where we need outside help.”

Bol, who works in the city’s engineering department as a surface construction inspector, declined to identify the handful of outstanding issues. “I can’t get into details,” he said, citing the confidential nature of bargaining.

However, one source says sick leave language may be one of the sticking points. According to 2011 figures, municipal employees took an average of

11.32 sick days every year.

Bol would not confirm whether sick leave is an issue this round of bargaining.

He says union and city negotiators continue to hold face-to-face meetings even as they await a provincial conciliator to arrive. He describes the tone of talks as “professional and polite.”

He says the city’s unionized workforce is proud of the work it does, especially keeping Kingston moving during the recent ice storm and ceaseless snow storms – one of the worst winters in decades. “We really value the work we do.

We respect the citizens of the city.”

Mayor Mark Gerretsen invited municipal workers to attend an employee recognition ceremony prior to the Feb. 4 council meeting at City Hall to thank them for their efforts during the ongoing winter clean-up.

Bol says residents need not worry about any service disruptions tied to the contract talks. He says it remains business as usual for all of his members.

CUPE’s last contract gave civic workers an average wage increase of just over two per cent in each of three years, he recalled.

Bol was elected president of CUPE local 109 last April, replacing veteran president John Hale in what many considered to be a surprise outcome. This is Bol’s second time being involved in contract talks with the city, which is represented at the bargaining table by members of its human resources department.

Registered nurses at Rideaucrest, librarians, fire fighters, police officers and Grand Theatre stage crews are not part of this contract process as they are represented by different unions.

Providence Care holds organization-wide chili cook-off for charity

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – On a cold day, few things are better than a nice warm bowl of homemade chili, especially when you don’t have to make it. For residents, patients and staff at Providence Care facilities, homemade, fresh, and delicious foods are important and to show this, the organization held its first ever chili cook-off on Jan. 28. “We have some fantastic cooks here at Providence Care. We really emphasize homemade meals for our residents, patients and our clients and we really wanted a way to showcase that,� explained Paula Ormsbee, Director of Food and Nutrition Services at Providence Care.

Eight chefs competed across the organization’s Kingston sites. Each prepared their own recipe, and the winner will be featured in Providence Care cafeterias. “This is sort of new for us, but we have a lot of great talent and we need to get it out there,� Ormsbee said. “We wanted something a bit different that involved our staff and it has been so cold this January that we wanted to do something to warm people up.�

For Luis DaSilva, cook at St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital, the cook-off challenge was a welcome one.

St, Mary’s made four different types of chili for the competition and while each variety was unique in its own way, DaSilva emphasized the importance of spices and base vegetables. “Roasted peppers are always a good place to start and of course the spices. There is a variety of things that can go into chili, but the base is really the most important part...There is a lot of preparation in the beginning, but if you do that part well then the rest of it

falls into place. Beans are beans and you can’t really change the taste of ground beef or turkey or pork, so what makes a great chili comes from the spices and the other base ingredients you put in. If you use fresh ingredients, that really helps.�

DaSilva was confident that his chili was the best, but also stated that the event and the day were about more than the chili. The cooks and staff at each of the Providence Care facilities work hard to ensure that everything they make and serve is fresh and delicious, something that is hard to find in other facilities similar to theirs. “A lot of people don’t realize that we cook everything from scratch here and we really need to make people aware of that,� added DaSilva. “We pride ourselves on it and our residents and clients are extremely satisfied with our food. It really is a rarity amongst facilities like ours now, but we will never give it up. The number one priority for us is our patients. We really want to make sure that they are satisfied and food is one of the most important parts in ensuring that satisfaction.�

Those who wanted to sample and vote on the types of chili at the event gave donations to the Alzheimer Society, a cause close to the heart of many of the organization’s clients and their families. DaSilva hopes that Providence Care will do more events like this in the future for different causes. “We have a lot of talented cooks and chefs and I think we should do more events like this to showcase that. There are so many causes out there that we could help in this way and also showcase our staff in the process. We are showing what we are capable of doing here at Providence Care and we couldn’t ask for a better cause to support. It’s a win-win situation.�

City drives another plan to keep Belle Park Fairways open tenance costs, and a steady decline in annual memberships. However, golf supporters say the city has not properly maintained or marketed the course to keep it a viable chance to succeed.

Group spokesperson Jacques Menard believes the golf course is worth saving. “We would never give up wanting to keep it as a golf course. That’s the bottom line for us.�

The group has assembled avid golfers, marketing, business and legal experts and is ready to work with the city to make the golf course a more attractive place to play. Friends of Belle Park has advocated the creation of a volunteer advisory board to run the course. The city does not appear willing to transfer operations to an independent body, but its latest move is to first gather public ideas.

The city will take applications to serve on the working group, and its mandate is likely to extend beyond the 2014 civic elections into the new council term.

While its future remains the subject of ongoing debate, Belle Park Fairways will open this spring for another season.

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage - The City of Kingston is turning to the public for the latest round of ideas to keep Belle Park Fairways open and make it profitable.

City council is expected to create a Belle Park Working Group with a one-year mandate to provide feedback and advice on making the 9-hole public course financially sustainable and improving service to customers. The six-member group will work with the city’s recreation and leisure service department to come up with strategies on golf course maintenance, programming, potential partnerships, advertising and marketing, and renovations.

The group’s recommendations will be provided directly to council.

Staff’s proposal to reach out to the public for help follows two years of indecision by council over what to do with the nearly 40 year old golf course. Belle Park Fairways requires an annual tax subsidy of about $200,000 amid declining memberships and increased operating costs.

Staff initially recommended closing Kingston’s only municipally-owned golf course in favour of improved park space and a solar farm. However, that proposal was rejected by council in 2012.

In the most recent decision last September, council voted 7-5 against a plan to privatize the course’s operations after staff raised “significant concerns� over 14’ Super Snapper the city’s environmental liability should Evinrude ETEC 25HP it be run by a private company. “The financial risk to the municipalPower Trim & Tilt ity if we don’t properly manage this site Shoreland’r Trailer is huge,� warned city solicitor Hal Linscott.

He noted the golf course was the focus of court battles in the late 1990s over mismanagement of the former municipal dump that resulted in stiff fines and a black eye over the city’s environmental stewardship.

The Montreal Street golf course sits atop an old landfill site that closed in the mid-1970’s, and the city has spent millions of dollars to minimize leachate flowing into the nearby Cataraqui River.

Global Pet Foods wants to see your heart go to the shelters. We donate to Gananoque Humane Society and Kingston Humane Society and we really lean on the good people of Kingston to help us out during this time of year, every little bit helps.”

Last year, funds raised throughout the campaign were used to save the life of a cat in Kingston. Donations paid for surgery that enabled the cat to walk again and after healing. Customers at Global got to see the cat around the store, waiting for adoption.

Global Pet Foods is unique in the way that they approach cat adoptions –they roam free throughout the store and often times follow customers around while they shop. This leads to a very high success rate for adoption. In 2012, Caird saw 45 adoptions in the month of February alone, but there is still a need for more adoptions

each week.

“We’ll have days where two cats get adopted and then four more come in that need to be adopted. In the month of December a few years ago they had an adopt-a-thon in Gananoque and they had 40 adoptions in one day and then 22 cats showed up the next day. We are raising money for the shelters but we are also trying to raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption through the shelters because cats are always in need of homes.”

Global Pet Foods has raised $570,000 since 2005 with the ‘Show us Your Heart’ campaign. The Kingston location was the top earner in 2012 and Caird would like to see them do it again this year. With bonus incentives, she thinks they can get there.

Heritage Events – Brent Butt is almost a movie star, or at least that is the name of his new comedy tour. Many may recognize Butt from his years on the Canadian sitcom Corner Gas. Now, Butt is tackling new territory with his upcoming film ‘No Clue’, and to promote this project he is hitting the streets. “Right from the get go, one of the things I talked about when I pitched the movie idea was the fact that because I am a live performer I can go on the road to promote a movie the same way a band goes on the road to promote an album,� explained Butt. “It is basically a support tour. You go on the road and you do your thing, like my live stand-up show, and it helps raise awareness for the movie.�

Butt hasn’t been on an extended comedy tour for a number of years, but he is excited to get back out there and to

travel across Canada in the process. “I haven’t done a tour this long since well before Corner Gas days and for me it is a lot of fun. It’s like a throwback to another time. Comedy tours are how I used to spend my time, I used to live on the road and it is fun to do that again.�

While it may be all fun and games, Butt is still on the road to promote his upcoming movie, a project that was a bit intimidating for him at first, but he couldn’t be happier with the end result. “The movie is called No Clue. It’s a murder mystery thriller and it is comedic but I didn’t want to make a zany, wacky bumbling comedy,� explained Butt. “I wanted it to be legitimately dark and gritty because I am a real fan of detective movies and murder mysteries and I wanted to make a movie that was really true to that genre but also happened to be funny because the main character says funny things. The movie is very realistic and really gritty and I wasn’t sure that it would work but I couldn’t

be happier with how it turned out and came together.�

The movie screened at the Whistler International Film Festival last year and Butt was unsure of how the audience would respond to it, but his worries were all for nothing and after the screening Butt felt a huge relief. “The film festival was the first time I was able to sit in a room with other people and watch the film and the response was more than we ever could have hoped for. It was perfect. There were lots of laughs but the tense and heavy moments were really great too. People were really drawn in and it worked.�

Butt is hoping for the same effect on his comedy tour, although he admits that he doesn’t really have a plan for each night. His main focus is on the audience members and their responses to him and his material. “I never really have a theme for my act and the thing that I love about doing stand-up and the thing that makes it fresh and exciting every time, even after 26 years is the fact that every show really is different. Any time that you get a group of people together they all combine to create a new animal and this animal is different than any other animal.

You don’t know what it likes and you don’t know what it doesn’t like and you have to go out there and figure that out through performing and how the audience reacts. It keeps you very present and very in the moment and very connected to the crowd. That is why I love doing it.�

Butt is performing at the Grand Theatre on Feb. 14 and he hopes to show some love to Kingston for Valentine’s Day. “I am nothing if not a cherubic little angel and I will be shooting arrows of comedy at the people of Kingston that night. I’m looking forward to being there and sharing the love.�

Kingston restoration company sees potential in crumbling heritage building

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – One of Kingston’s long-abandoned heritage buildings could soon have a new lease on life.

The city is moving ahead with plans to sell 9 North Street to a wellknown local company that plans to stabilize and redevelop the site as future office space.

A staff report to council February 4 recommends that Kingston-based ABNA Investments Ltd. be invited to submit a more detailed proposal to “purchase, stabilize, restore and repurpose� the crumbling landmark.

Located behind Rideaucrest seniors home, the two-storey limestone building at 9 North Street opened in 1908 on former railway lands along the Inner Harbour. Designed by renowned architect William Newlands, the 30 metre long by 18 metre wide industrial building was originally operated by Imperial Oil as a fuel storage depot until the 1960s. The derelict property was designated a heritage site in 1987, the same year it was acquired by the city. “In its current condition, the building is structurally unsound,� according to an August 2013 building condition report by Commissioner Denis Leger, who noted portions of the floor and roof have totally collapsed.

It’s also a Brownfield site contaminated with oils and metals.

Last year, councillors began searching for a developer that could clean up, fix up and reopen the site.

The price tag to do that may be hefty.

An earlier staff report estimated a total restoration of 9 North Street would range between $3.5 million and $5 million. But there are potential benefits for investors. Its riverside location, only a 10-minute walk from the downtown, and rent revenues attracted two applicants in the Request for Information process: ABNA Investments and Options for Homes. “Staff has received the two submissions and determined that only ABNA Investments Ltd. has demonstrated that it meets the pre-qualification requirements,� according to the latest report to council by Commissioner Cynthia Beach.

ABNA has extensive experience in heritage and restoration projects, notably its work on the Woolen Mill and the Smith and Robinson building.

The company’s vision for 9 North Street is to create “high end professional office space while showcasing many of the original construction features as possible.�

City officials say the preliminary proposal would not impact plans to rejuvenate the nearby Doug Fluhrer Park nor the proposed Wellington Street extension.

Under an ambitious timeline presented to council February 4, the city hopes to finalize its redevelopment plans with ABNA by June.

Kingstonians gather to support prison farm arrestees on the eve or their appeal effort to save money, the farms were closed, much to the dismay of many Canadians.

For Kingston farmers Dianne Dowling, Jeff Peters and many more, this was a blow to their trade and they weren’t going to just lie down and accept the closures. Four and a half years later, they still aren’t willing to accept the closures

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

everything was going down here and I am really happy to be here now to listen to everyone and hear about the great work that is being done and to be part of it all.�

While Save Our Prison Farms (SOPF) was unsuccessful in their quest to keep the prison farms open, they are confident that the farms will reopen in the future.

They even have all of the animals ready to return to the farms when they do reopen. “After the arrests, the next morning we were waiting to hear our bail conditions and someone spawned the idea to buy some of the cows so we bought four that day and we slowly purchased the rest of them as well,� explained Jeff Peters, local farmer and one of the leaders of SOPF. “We needed money to purchase them so we formed a co-operative called

the Prison Farm Herd Co-op and now we have 160 members and they bought all of the animals that were available from Frontenac. We ended up with 24 animals and that has grown to 31 now and still growing and we have a plan for these animals to go back to prison where they rightfully belong. The plan is by 2016 they will be back in prison and they will be part of the next herd at the Frontenac institution.�

The event at Memorial Hall also included talks from local academics and activists and was concluded with a positive question and answer session. The overall feel of the gathering was positive and optimistic and above all hopeful.

Three people took the task on of appealing their conviction so that perhaps we could gain some footing for future cases and demonstrations and they will face that fate tomorrow.�

Jamie Masse, Andrew McCann and Patrick Thompson are the three appealers. McCann spoke at the gathering of how they plan on fighting their charges and the importance of gathering to discuss the issues. “The essence of our argument is not that what we did doesn’t fit in the definition of mischief or criminal mischief according to the criminal code, but rather that it is within the limits of tolerance in a democratic society and this kind of peaceful disobedience should not be criminalized. This event is to broaden the discussion surrounding this issue.�

Also on hand to support the issue was Sarah Harmer, who kicked off the event with a few inspirational songs.

Harmer has been active throughout the campaign and was proud to see the protests and blockades on the news back in 2010. “I am really honoured to be here and inspired by the Save Our Prison Farms work,� said Harmer. “It was really wonSarah Harmer joined in the conversation at the Save Our Prison Farms derful too see Kingston on the national event at Memorial Hall on Jan. 30.

R.G. Sinclair Public School holds eighth annual read-a-thon to celebrate literacy week clair Public School on Jan. 28. To kick off National Literacy Week, the school held its eighth annual read-a-thon in the school’s library.

Grade 7 English teacher Lynn Ross and members of the school’s student council organize the reada-thon each year and after a bit of

a slow start, the event has picked up speed and is always a huge success.

“The idea came up to do an event Heritage News – Imagine a comlike a dance-a-thon but with readpletely silent elementary school ing,” explained Ross, “It started filled with students reading. Talk off very small with maybe 10 kids about a teacher’s dream. That was participating and we really wanted exactly what occurred at R.G. Sinto support their idea. Then the next year almost every kid from Grades 4 to 8 participated. Nobody really knew what it would be like until after that first year. Then we saw huge success and it has been that way ever since.”

To date, Sinclair students have raised $15,000 through pledges for their read-a-thon, a very impressive number considering it is such a small school. Every dollar raised goes back into the school library and over the years, that library has grown exponentially.

“Every penny goes back into our library and we do that in a really unique way,” said Ross. “I take a few kids who were involved in student council down to Indigo for a bit of a shopping spree. We go with a cheque for usually around $1,500 and we spend all morning shopping for books. We come back with cases of new books for the library and it is so exciting for them. The people at Indigo, and now Chapters Students at R. Gordon Sinclair Public School spent all day reading in the have always been so great to us and

give us a discount so we can get even more books for the money we raised and that is awesome.”

For Ross, the entire endeavor is extremely rewarding, but the most rewarding part is seeing all of the kids lounging in the library in their pajamas, contently reading the day away. The kids receive snacks and a pizza lunch throughout the day as a reward for reading, but Ross views their actual reading as the greatest reward of all.

“We say to them that the greatest accomplishment for the day is that if they leave school today knowing that they have read all day. That is amazing. It probably never happens for a lot of them and they feel really great and wonderful knowing that they were able to accomplish that goal. For some kids, who are naturally readers, they see it as a day of doing what they love and as a day off from school almost. It is a lot of different things for different kids, but it is all really positive.”

While the read-a-thon is only for students in Grades 4 to 8, younger students are also able to participate in the day. Teachers at the school developed a program called Drop Everything and Read (DEAR), in which teachers choose a time of the day to stop teaching and let the students read for an extended period

of time. Younger students also have an opportunity to go down to the library and see what the ‘big kids’ are doing, explained Ross, and that is a really positive influence on them too.

For even more reading inspiration, the school arranged for members of the community to come in and read to students during the week.

“On Jan. 27 we had [Member of Parliament] Ted Hsu in to read to the intermediate students and that was really great for them to see. He showed them his love of reading and emphasized its importance,” said Ross. “We also have members of the Queen’s varsity soccer and rugby teams coming in to read to them and really promote literacy for the kids. These are people that the kids look up to and to see that they love to read too is really positive for them.”

Overall, the day really is about growing a collective love for reading in the students, explained Ross.

“They feel like they are part of something really great and it encourages them to feel good about themselves and confident. I really believe that everyone is a reader, even though they may not think that, they just haven’t found what they like to read.”

Yumie the cat Poor little Yumie came to our shelter through our OSPCA inspector. Her life prior to the KHS was one of neglect and abuse. She is a spunky, lively little feline, with plenty of purrs and cuddles to give. She would be best in a home without young children, as she can be an

independent lady! She is about

4 years old and has spayed.

Jake the dog This large Border Collie mix came to the KHS quite thin and is working on gaining some much needed weight back. Jake is a very active boy who needs obedience training. He is very smart and hungry to learn. He is available to a home with children over 12. Come

meet him today!

To add one of these furry creatures to your family, please call the Kingston Humane Society at (613) 546-1291 or visit us at 1 Binnington Crt. Kingston

In Our Opinion

For the future of work, look to the past

A life filled with questions Mandy Marciniak

someone has asked me about kids in the past six months, I’d be on vacation right now. I understand where the question comes from and that it is part of the logical societal progression of events, but honestly I just want to live a life without questions for once.

I know that this is impossible, and I have to admit, most of the questions are not coming from my parents or my in-laws. They realize that grandchildren and permanently settling are not an option for Korey and me for a while and they respect that, I just wish everyone else would too.

All of this got me thinking about social norms and how they really do rule our lives. It is assumed that you will grow up, get a job, get married, settle down, have kids and then the cycle will repeat, but what if that is not exactly what I want? What if I want a few years in there to be independent and a few more years to enjoy being married and then a few more years to travel? More questions‌ but these ones are even more important.

We all need to make our own life

Kanata Kourier-Standard Reporter mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Editorial - Over the course of a lifetime, there are multiple questions that come up. It starts when you are young and people ask “what are you going to be when you grow up�?

Then as you enter your teen years questions about school, love and your future dominate. As an adult, when you start seriously dating someone it becomes “when are you getting married�? Then you get married and, just when you think you are in the clear, you get even more questions: “when are you going to have kids�? “How many kids�? “When are you going to buy a house and settle somewhere�? “Where are you going to settle�? It seems like the questions are neverending!

If I had a dollar for every time

choices and sometimes that is extremely difficult. Loved ones always want to voice their opinions, whether they are needed or not, and that can be frustrating. They assume that you will progress in a certain way and I think as people get older, they forget that they also faced these questions and frustrations at one point; at least I hope they did. It can’t just be me that is feeling this way.

I guess the best solution is to try and focus on myself and tune out the questions. Only answer the questions that I want to answer and not worry about the rest. I’m not saying that I don’t want kids in the future, or that I don’t want to settle down somewhere, but the idea of doing those things right now makes my head spin. It is hard, but as I grow up, I realize more and more that other people’s opinions and suggestions about my life don’t really matter. What really matters is what makes me happy and for now that is working, enjoying married life, traveling and convincing Korey that we should get another cat.

8 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, February 6, 2014

Heritage Editorial - For over a generation now, parents have advised their children to steer clear of the skilled trades, or any profession, really, that requires any kind of manual labour. Instead, the mantra has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;go to university, get a degree or two, and turn your mind into your most capital assetâ&#x20AC;?. We were assured that this was the surest path to a middle class lifestyle and beyond.

Fast-forward to today, and the bourgeoning ranks of under- and unemployed university graduates are actively competing for part-time retail or food service jobs, or even that great holy grail of a potential position in something close to their field of study â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the unpaid internship. Â A January 2013 Macleanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article came up with a catchy label for this oft-maligned group: â&#x20AC;&#x153;the new underclass.â&#x20AC;? At last count in 2006, one in four young workers with a university degree worked in a job where no degree was required; 1.2 million workers under 30 worked in part-time positions, wishing they could find something full-time.

These numbers have doubtless increased dramatically in the last eight years; however, a dearth of information makes estimating the exact numbers difficult (see: Harper, 2011 census, cancellation of longform).

For those looking for something other than the indentured servitude offered by the corporate elite, may we suggest to you a genuinely radical idea: get dirty. Work with your hands and create something out of the mud and ashes of your parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shattered dreams.

With Burlington, ONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FutureBuilding2014, a three-day hands-on construction career exhibition to help young people, teachers and educators, The Ontario Construction Secretariat (OCS) is hoping to convert a substantial number of youth to this worldview. They argue that the next two decades will see a severe shortage of skilled workers in Ontario, with aging baby boomers no longer able to press on in their chosen trades. They estimate that the shortage could reach 100,000 workers in the next five years. There will be no shortage of projects coming on line in the next little while, either. Opportunities range from the expansion of the TTC, mining projects in north, infrastructure projects linked with the 2015 Pan Am games, and an increased investment in renewable energy projects everywhere.

The Burlington event takes place April 8-10, and while it may not be possible for many of us in the Kingston/Frontenac area to attend, we hope that local youth and their parents will be inspired by this â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? perspective. For more information, visit www.futurebuilding.ca

Places to explore and things to experience

These writers are on fire Check. Cryptic messages needing decoder rings? Check. Symbolism, which may or may not be accurate?

Check.

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are quirky writers who deliver a great story with eloquent writing not always found in the thriller genre.

In contrast to many popular writers, Preston and Child excel at crafting gripping page-turners in literary style. Extensive research into their subject matter fills their pages. They also have quite a sense of humor and an obvious dislike of bureaucratsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; administrative officials do not shine in Pendergastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world.

With a degree in English and extensive experience in the publishing business (he worked as an editor at St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Press), Lincoln Child is a lover of words. Douglas Prestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background is English literature. After graduating, Preston served as an editor and manager of publications for the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

The two joined forces when Child edited Prestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-fiction Dinosaurs in the Attic, a book about the New York Museum of Natural History and all the relics and artifacts not on display. Preston reports that he gave Child a midnight tour of the museum. In the darkened Hall of Late Dinosaurs, under a looming T. Rex, Child turned to Preston and said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would make the perfect setting for a thriller,â&#x20AC;? thus giving birth to their novel, Relic.

As for their sense of humor, a section of their website includes all the bad reviews they can find. They respond to the reviews in Groucho Marx-style: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not good science?

Why, before writing Relic, we did extensive scientific research on the worldwide problem of brain-eating monsters infesting museums. What

more could you want?â&#x20AC;?

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the same humor, combined with attention to literary detail in every book they write.

How good is their writing. I get so caught up in their storytelling that my abs tense as if I was in the middle of a sparring match. Stop reading in order to eat? Not likely.

Their latest, White Fire, opens with a prologue taking us to a meeting of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde, William Gill and Joe Stoddart. The tone for the tome is set.

We move from there to present day Colorado (where Conan Doyle once visited) and an unfolding thriller that ties in with a long lost Conan Doyle story that holds clues to a present series of crimes in Colorado. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read every Pendergast thriller. This is the most suspenseful and most horrifying of them all. This book holds chills you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still shuddering. I promiseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shudder, too,â&#x20AC;? wrote horror fiction writer R. L. Stine.

Back in his good-guy-in-black role is FBI Special Agent Aloysius Penderast, as quirky a law enforcement officer as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find anywhere.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to worry about softhearted liberal judges or courts.

The bad guys in Pendergastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career Douglas Preston and Lincoln Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest thriller, White never live long enough to make it to Fire, takes the reader on an adrenalin-filled trek that trial. Finally, justice. links Sir Arthur Conan Doyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world of the 19th century Continued on page 14

to modern day Colorado.

Heritage Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I often hear people say that Canadian weather builds character. I think it just creates people, myself included, who whine a lot about the weather.

My idea of a great winter activity involves three things: a fireplace or woodstove; a soft couch, along with cushions and comfy blankets; and a book.

I returned to Canada from New York City on Monday last week, driving through that lovely spot of weather called lake effect snow around Pulaski. I had a digital photography class to teach the next day at St. Lawrence College and darned if I was going to let something like not being able to see the road I was driving on stop me from getting back. Wondering if I was going to ram that snowplow a few meters ahead of me, my fantasies pulled me through. I kept imagining curling up in bed, warmâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;very warmâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;and reading a book I had waiting for me.

About three years ago, I wrote in this column about two of my favorite authors, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

Whenever I think that Preston and Child canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly write anything else as good as they have in the past, they release a new thriller that measures up with the best theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written.

Their latest, White Fire, sizzles, nicely cutting the readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jugular vein. Their storytelling gets the adrenalin pumping.

While authors like James Patterson sell more books than most writers combined and Dan Brown enchants the masses, their writing never leaves me feeling that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reveled in the English language.

Dan Brown once told a fascinating story (Digital Fortress), but his writing quickly became repetitive. Body part thrown in near the beginning?

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, February 6, 2014 13

These writers are on fire Beloved children’s author discusses The Snail & the Whale and theatrical adaptations of her books Continued from page 13

I suspect that police officers will like Pendergast, as well as his sidekick for this journey, Corrie Swanson, befriended by the FBI agent in previous novels. She’s given up her outward Goth appearance and is now attending university working toward a degree in law. One problem: she’s a wee bit impulsive and doesn’t always see the danger she is approaching. The facial piercings are gone, but her feisty attitude and impetuousness aren’t.

Pendergast is brilliant, a genius, yet there’s something sadly formal about him. In an Old Southern manner (he hails from Louisiana), he keeps feelings to himself. But the reader can’t help but like him, despite his aloofness. He cares enough about Corrie to save her life (and bail her out) on more than one occasion.

When these authors gave birth to Special Agent Pendergast, they created the most interesting crimefighting character since Sherlock Holmes, and, in my opinion, they’ve outdone Holmes. In this novel, you get Pendergast linked to a past Holmes story.

The primary setting in White Fire is Colorado, at former mining camps that have become a playground resort for the rich. Corrie Swanson examines bones from miners killed 150 years ago and learns the truth about the current series of murders in the resort town.

How could 150-year-old skeletons, an equally old Arthur Conan

Doyle story and a series of modern murders and arson events be related?

No spoilers here. For that, you’ll have to read the book.

If you’re getting White Fire, pick up some other Pendergast thrillers to read.

Eccentric, brilliant and intriguing—Aloysius Pendergast, get to know him. He becomes irresistible.

I’d recommend a book like Cemetery Dance or Cabinet of Curiosities as an introduction to Special Agent Pendergast. Or, if you’re an avid reader, start at Relic and work your way through all of the gripping novels. In Cemetery Dance, William Smithback, a New York Times reporter, and his wife, Nora Kelly, a Museum of Natural History archaeologist, are brutally attacked in their apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Eyewitnesses claim, and the security camera confirms, that the assailant was their strange neighbor who, by all reports, was dead and buried weeks earlier. Pendergast undertakes his own private and decidedly unorthodox quest for the truth.

His journey takes him to an enclave of Manhattan he never imagined could exist: a secretive, reclusive cult of Obeah and vodou which no outsiders have ever survived.

However, White Fire is a standalone novel. You don’t need to read any other Preston and Child novel to understand the plot and characters of White Fire.

Heritage Events - Seeing her books adapted for the stage is nothing new for British children’s author Julia Donaldson. Last year, the company Tall Stories produced a travelling show based on her famous book The Gruffalo, which proved to be a huge hit here in Kingston with its sold-out performance at the Grand Theatre.

This February, Tall Stories will return to The Grand to present an adaptation of another of Donaldson’s books: The Snail & the Whale. The story tells of a tiny snail who longs to see the world, so he hitches a ride on the tail of a humpback whale in an attempt to make this dream come true.

The Kingston Heritage caught up with Donaldson over the phone when she recently visited Toronto for Totsapalooza, a day-long event that celebrated her work.

“I suppose I’ve always been interested in scales and scale differences,” Donaldson said of what inspired her to write The Snail & the Whale. “When I was a child one of my favourite books was The Borrowers. It’s a book about little people who live under floorboards and for them a postage stamp is like a portrait on the wall or a chess piece is a statue. And I suppose I also like the sort of fables where even the very small creature can be of help, and in this story the snail actually saves the life of the

whale.”

Donaldson describes The Snail and the Whale as perhaps the most poetic book she has written.

“It’s got a bit more of a visceral quality. I think the sound of the words and the beautiful pictures by Axel Scheffler [fit together nicely]. He loves drawing nature and is very keen on animals, and the story takes place all over the world.

The two animals travel the seas to different lands with icebergs and volcanoes and so the pictures are very stunning.”

The Tall Stories production, she notes, is also both very musical and visually appealing. The original tale from the book is framed by the story of a little girl and her dad, who is a sailor. The girl’s favourite book is The Snail and the Whale, and her father will often read it to her over the phone when he is away at sea. The idea for the framing story was inspired by the Storybook Soldiers project, which enables service members to record themselves reading stories, allowing their children to remember and be comforted by their voices even when they are on missions overseas.

“The actors who play the little girl and her dad also play the snail and the whale, so it’s a really original approach,” Donaldson explains. “And there’s also an actor who plays the electric viola so there’s a lovely musical aspect to it as well.”

She notes that she was consulted for the initial discussions surrounding how the story would be adapted.

“When the director had this idea of framing it, I did discuss it with him and I said well that’s fine but I don’t want that to totally dominate the story. I want the story of the snail and the whale to be the main part.

“And it was my suggestion that there should be some movement and music,” she continues. “That conversation sparked them to get the live viola player.

I always like it when there is live music on the stage instead of pre-recorded music, and it’s always nice when children can see real instruments.”

While Donaldson is no stranger to viewing theatrical productions based on her books, she notes that it never ceases to be a bit of a thrill for her as the original author.

“It’s good but it’s a bit nerve-racking as well,” she laughs. “When I go and see a new production of one of my books I’ve sort of got half an eye on the stage and the other half on the audience. Maybe this is their introduction to my book as well as their play.”

She is confident, however, that parents and children alike will be enchanted

by Tall Stories’ production of The Snail & the Whale, noting that there are many new and original-to-the-book elements to be enjoyed.

The Snail & the Whale will be performed at The Grand Theatre Feb. 23 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets start at $7.50 for kids and $15 for adults. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www. kingstongrand.ca/event/snail-whale.

Photographer captures life in its rawest form

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage Events - For photographer Mark Bergin, the streets are the rawest, most honest place on earth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like people are at a party where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting on a front,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People on the street are angry or maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a demonstration or somebody begging or somebody performing, it all feels raw. I equate raw with real.â&#x20AC;?

Over the past few years, Bergin has spent many hours wandering the streets of New York City, photographing the people he sees there, as well as exploring and documenting cultural events and performances in both Kingston and New York.

Many of these works will be on display at the Verb Gallery throughout the month of February as part of his show, Sacred Streets: Sanctum Sanctorum. The term Sanctum Sanctorum was originally used to describe the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Jerusalem; nowadays, it

refers to any secluded and mysterious place.

Bergin explains that the streets are his Sanctum Sanctorum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the place he returns to when he wants to feel alive or counter a low mood.

One time, he spotted a newly married couple walking through Times Square, the bride still carrying her bouquet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much guesswork to figure she was going to toss her bouquet in Times Square, so I followed the couple for a short distance. The bride turned and tossed the bouquet behind her into the crowd. This young man caught it. He was ecstatic and came and told the newlyweds that he and his partner were going to be getting married. It just seemed so anachronistic. You expect to see someone formally dressed, typically female, catching the bouquet.

I loved how everything broke the rules here.â&#x20AC;?

Another time, he was approached by a homeless woman with severe scarring on her face. She asked Bergin to take her picture.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we chatted,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My desire is to find her again. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m selfish, I want to know her story, why sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the street.

Maybe she wants to tell it, because she certainly wanted to have her picture taken. She said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nobody ever wants to take my pictureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It just grabbed me. This woman is physically scarred and incredibly beautiful and she feels alienated. No one ever wants to look at her and take her picture.â&#x20AC;?

The photo of the woman will appear in Berginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show as part of a series of three pictures entitled The Sacred Feminine, which also includes a photo of his teenage daughter Maureen performing ballet at The Grand Theatre and rocker Anna Popovic performing in Market Square at the 2013 Kingston Blues Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three sides of femininity,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful young woman dancer, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this passionate rock/blues guitar player and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this woman who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a computer on the streets.

But each of them wants to be recognized. The whole exhibition is focusing on sacred, but not on what many people would define sacred.

To me it involves integrity, dignity and respect. Recognizing the full person. Living is sacred, and each of [the three women] is living in a very sacred way.â&#x20AC;?

As a way of recognizing the important contribution his subjects made to their respective photos, Bergin will share profits with them whenever possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to know some of the street people who I have photos of,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as tenuous as it is, there is a slight personal relationship there. I felt like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be taking advantage of them if I made money without acknowledging their workâ&#x20AC;Ś And why shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t [the dancers] get a modelling fee? They were volunteering in their dance show. They got nothing for it.â&#x20AC;?

Bergin explains that paying his

subjects is part of an important statement he is making regarding artists often being expected to offer their services for free: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use the example of a plumber.

[Nobody says] fix my pipes and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put a plaque up with your name on it.â&#x20AC;?

Sacred Streets runs Feb. 1-28 at the Verb Gallery, which is located at 85 Princess Street behind Wayfarer Books. An opening reception will take place Saturday, Feb. 1 from 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 p.m.

Bergin notes that the setting of the show is rather fitting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so often identified as a photographer, yet 90 per cent of my work is as a writer, so it was somehow thrilling to have this exhibition at a site called Verb Gallery and that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located behind a bookstore,â&#x20AC;? he laughs.

16 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, February 6, 2014

Heritage Events - For more than 90 years, CFRC has been broadcasting at 101.9 fm in Kingston. The station is run by more than 280 volunteers and for the past eight years, it has relied on community support to keep going. Now, CFRC is hoping that the community will continue its generosity and help them out with some new, much-needed equipment.

“We have seen growing success over the years,” said Kristiana Clemens, Operations Officer at the station. “We have reached a comfortable plateau, but this year we want to have a bit of an extra push because we are hoping to use the donations from this year to purchase and install a brand new on-air broadcasting console which is kind of the beating heart of any radio station’s operations.”

The station’s current unit was built in the 1980s and is rather obsolete now. The console is on its last legs and Clemens is looking forward to replacing it, hopefully with a brand new digital unit, one that will help make programming and training easier and better for the station.

“I think CFRC is such an incredible resource for the community.

Whether you are someone interested in learning about radio broadcasting, audio production, music promotions, journalism or the arts, there are so many opportunities to be had through the station,” explained Clemens. “Even for people that aren’t interested in the handson skill training and experience, tuning into CFRC really opens up a world of diverse sounds, thoughts, opinions and ideas that you are not going to hear anywhere else on you FM dial.”

This year’s funding drive runs from Feb. 7-16 and features more events than ever before, including some collaborations with other groups in the city.

“We have a huge range of events this year,” Clemens said, explaining that there will an indie rock concert with a range of artists at the Toucan, a hip-hop spoken word poetry event and a local experimental band made of CFRC programmers performing a live soundtrack to a Russian science fiction silent film at the Screening Room.

“That will be a really unique event to check out,” Clemens noted.

She added that there are also a couple of dance parties, one in collaboration with the Reelout festival and one in collaboration with the local organizers of Cabaret. There will also be a poetry open mic, a discothemed bingo party and much more.

“There is definitely something for everyone this year,” Clemens said.

With all of these amazing events, Clemens and her team have been working really hard this year and they are hoping that they can reach their fundraising goal.

“The station has been serving Kingston since 1922. It was Kingston’s first radio station and it was around decades before other broadcasters in our area and it is still going strong, but it can only continue to do so with the listener support that we receive,” added Clemens.

“We are a non-profit organization and listener contributions make up about 15 per cent of our operating budget so that is a really significant amount. This year is more important than ever. We really need new equipment so it is really important for the community to step up and help us reach this goal.”

Heritage Lifestyle - As far as Father was concerned, he was the only one who knew how to properly cook sauerkraut.

He said (getting a dig in at Mother about her heritage which was far removed from his German ancestry) you had to have good German blood running in your veins to turn out edible sauerkraut. I had no idea what blood had to do with it, but I had to admit I liked Father’s sauerkraut better than Mother’s.

It all came from the same barrel, but whatever Father did to it, we all ate it with great gusto. That is, all except my cousin Ronny who visited regularly from Montreal. He hated sauerkraut regardless who cooked it, and he took to hiding it all through the house, even prying off a bedroom baseboard one time to stash it away. But for the rest of us, when Father worked his magic at the Findlay Oval, there wasn’t a scrap left over for another meal!

After the barrel of shredded cabbage had been allowed to sit in the hot kitchen until it was well fermented, the barrel was rolled out to the summer kitchen where the innards formed into a solid mass of ice.

For reasons which always escaped me, I was the one who had to go out with the granite basin and an ice pick and hack away until I had enough for a meal. When Father was doing the cooking, I stacked the basin high, knowing full well it would take a heap to fill the big iron fry pan he would be using.

It was bitterly cold in the summer kitchen, so I dressed for the elements, wearing mitts to hold the chisel or ice pick to chip the frozen sauerkraut, bringing it in to Father just before he was ready to pop it into the fry pan.

First he would have fried (in bacon fat, of course) a heaping mound of onions, well laced with black pepper.

I would stand well away from the stove as Father, with his bare hands would scoop up the sauerkraut, slap it into the sizzling pan, as I waited for the whole thing to explode into flames. Of course, it never did, but the hissing was enough to give me concern.

All the time, he would be plugging more wood into the Findlay Oval to keep the stove roaring hot.

Once the frozen sauerkraut melted, he would stir the pan with the big wooden spoon, mixing in the fried onions.

Father never left the stove, stirring all the time, until the liquid in the pan was gone. Then he would scoop up heaping tablespoons of butter and plop that on top of the sauerkraut. It too would have to be worked in, until all that was left were the fried onions and sauerkraut which by then had turned a golden brown.

He would shift the big iron fry pan to the back of the stove, on top of the reservoir, and say, ‘alright, bring your plates’. And we’d line up at the stove while father dished out his special dish.

There would be more butter on the ta-

Father said the apples spoiled the taste of a good sausage. But Mother said if he was going to make German sauerkraut, then she would serve apples with the sausages, since that was a French custom she learned from her own mother.

And so the two nationalities would come together at the Findlay Oval.

Even though Mother often tried to duplicate Father’s way of frying the sauerkraut, it never quite tasted the same.

Before Mother moved to the back-

ble, right beside the spoon holder, and of course, we would scoop up a goodly portion and plop it on top of the sauerkraut, and watch it melt into Father’s wonderful main dinner course.

Of course, there would also have to be meat for this meal. No supper was ever complete without meat. Often it would be salt pork simmering on the back of the stove in another big fry pan, or Mother would have a cookie sheet of homemade sausages baking in the oven with sliced apples around them.

Fencing coach excited for first Olympic experience

By Mark Kerr Reporter

Heritage Sports -- Local fencing coach David Howes has watched the Olympics since he was 12 years old. His dream of actually attending the Games will finally come true on Monday when he heads off to Sochi, Russia, for the 2014 Winter Olympics.

No, the International Olympic Committee hasn’t designated fencing a winter sport. Rather, Howes is participating in the Olympic Familiarization Initiative created by the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC). Twenty summer sport coaches and athletes who have never been to the Olympics get to experience the world’s largest sporting event without the pressure of competition.

Howes, head coach of Cutting Edge Fencing and assistant coach with the RMC Paladins varsity program, said he is excited to attend the Olympics and get a feel for the atmosphere.

“From everything I have heard and seen from interviews with athletes and coaches, their first time (at the Olympics) is kind of overwhelming because there are so many distractions, so much going on and people from all over the world,” he said. “I want to see what that’s like so that if I do get the chance to go, it won’t be such a big shock.”

The Canadian Fencing Association nominated Howes, who is the Canadian National Team Weapon Leader for épée. When he learned in October that the COC selected him, Howes was surprised given the number of Summer Olympic sports.

Howes’ shock soon gave way to excitement for this unique opportunity.

During the five days he is in Sochi, Howes expects to tour both the coastal and mountain athletes’ villages. He also hopes to visit the media centre to see firsthand the massive number of journalists the Games attracts. Howes is staying on a cruise ship anchored in the Olympic Park that is serving as a hotel during the Olympics.

Howes doesn’t expect to be overwhelmed given his prior experience at multisport events. He coached at the World Military Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2011. Thousands of athletes from around the world attended that event. He has also attended Canada Games in the past.

The Olympics are on a whole other level, though, something Howes anticipates will positively impact his work with the Canadian national team in one big way.

“Getting caught up in the excitement of the Olympics is going to help motivate me and also help me motivate the athletes for Rio (in 2016),” he says.

There’s a possibility Howes could

attend the Summer Games in 2016 if he has athletes who qualify. As the head of the épée program, he has tried to build a team of coaches that will work together to qualify athletes for the upcoming Summer Games.

Howes said he has enjoyed the national experience so far despite facing a steep learning curve setting up a program that will result in success for the athletes.

“Trying to find the right coaches to work with the right teams has been challenging. There are a lot of strong personalities in fencing in Canada, but it has been fun and rewarding.”

He can leave those worries behind for the next week and enjoy the Winter Olympics. He is looking forward to seeing the venues and attending some events. And while the media has documented security concerns

leading up to the Games, Howes isn’t concerned about his safety. His wife, Patricia Howes, visited Russia last summer as head coach of Canada’s fencing team at the World University Games. He said she was impressed with the tight security at the event.

Howes’s trip including travel is from Feb. 10-17. He intends to write a blog to document his experience at the Sochi Olympics.

Heritage Lifestyle - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, I drive a 2007 Mazda CX7. The problem I have is with the engine light always being on. In the past year, the light has come and off but it has only been in the past three months that it is on constantly. I regularly take it in for oil changes. They have changed spark plugs, and have used some other device to check for problems. Last time I drove off the lot, the light was off, then about 1/2 hour later it came on again. I was told not to worry about it, unless it was flashing. I also check the fuel cap to make sure it is closed properly.

I am at my witâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end.â&#x20AC;?

D.W. Thanks for the question. A check engine light can come on for over a hundred different reasons on todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicles and no you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore it until it flashes. From the sounds of things your current service provider may not have the equipment or expertise to handle this specific repair. I would suggest taking it to an authorized dealership or a shop that handles vehicle electronic and computerized systems diagnoses and repairs.

Ontario is changing its driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence renewal program for seniors who are fit to drive. Starting April 21, 2014, drivers aged 80 and over will no longer have to complete a written knowledge test. Instead, they will participate in a shorter, simpler renewal program that includes: â&#x20AC;˘ a vision test, â&#x20AC;˘ a driver record review, â&#x20AC;˘ an improved, in-class group education session, â&#x20AC;˘ two short, in-class screening exercises.

The new screening exercises are simple, non-computerized tasks that help identify drivers who may need further assessment, such as a road test or medical review. Samples of both exercises are available online (see http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/ dandv/driver/senior-driver-renewal-program.shtml).

The new renewal session is designed to take approximately 90 minutes, or less than half the time of the current program. Ontario drivers age 80 and over must renew their licences every two years. In 2012, over 117,000 drivers age 80 and older attended a group education session. Ontario is the only province in Canada with a mandatory education component for senior driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence renewal. The current cost of renewal for seniors will remain the same at $32.

There is no additional cost for a road test. Â One thing among many things I count myself blessed with is being surrounded by intelligent, cautious drivers during icy/ windy/snowy wintery commutes. The majority of vehicles I encounter on my daily drive are operated by commuting veterans, used to the havoc that Mother Nature and Old Man Winter throw at us every now and then to keep us on our toes. I seldom see drivers tailgating or making unsafe passing maneuvers when the roads are icy or the visibility is poor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also freely admit that my driving skills would have to take a step up to match those I share my commute with. That being said, recent traffic events during some severe winter weather in Ontario have brought some words of warning from the Ontario Provincial Police. In less than one week 11 OPP cruisers (parked at the roadside) were struck by passing motorists as their officers were attending to other drivers. Three of the 11 resulted in injuries to the officers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make it very clear; severe weather and poor driving conditions are not the main cause(s) in the overwhelming number collisions weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen these past several weeks. It is the way people are driving in these conditions that jeopardizes the safety of the motoring public and our officers. This irresponsible driving behavior must stop,â&#x20AC;? says OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis.

Tip of the week has to do with the effect of driving through deep snow. When driving down an unplowed road with some deep powdery snow, often the wheel rims can become packed on the inside with the white stuff. When you park your vehicle outside after a run like this, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual for the brakes to become frozen as the heat from the brakes causes the snow to melt onto the brake calipers where it refreezes with the colder temps. Usually the first couple of brake applications are all it takes to get things working again, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving on a slippery surface you make find the first stop hard to make as sometimes only one wheel has a working brake.

Make sure to pump the brake pedal a few times as you slowly take off to ensure that when you need to stop, you will be able to.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Question for the Car Counselorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

minutes in order to escape.

Some people are said to have a metaphoric elephant in their living room. Not Harry Houdini. Hi most magnificent routine involved making an elephant disappear at the New York Hippodrome Theater.

During the First World War, Houdini took a year off from his entertainment career to enlist for military service. In addition to promoting the war effort, he taught soldiers how to escape from handcuffs.

Houdini played a strong role in establishing and maintaining the Society of American Magicians. He served as the president for ten years.

In 1906, he began appearing in silent films. He was also a pioneer aviator and purchased and flew his own biplane.

In the 1920s, his midlife passion involved the occult; debunking, not practising. His skills in illusions and magic performances helped him expose the many frauds profiting from things like seances. He revealed many of them in his book, A Magician Among the Spirits.

He took great pleasure in discrediting those who used his own tricks to cheat people. Over his final two years, he incorporated his fraud exposure into his act. He billed his evening shows as “Three Shows in One: Magic, Escapes and Fraud Mediums Exposed.”

Houdini demonstrated how photographs could be faked to produce images of “spirits”. He also launched a major effort to debunk psychics and mediums. He attended seances in disguise, accompanied by a police officer and a reporter.

Unfortunately, his efforts cost him a good friendship. At a point in his life when Houdini was intensifying his debunking activities, his old friend, Arthur Conan Doyle was become more deeply involved in Spiritualism.

Their disagreement resulted in the two becoming at odds publicly, effectively ending their friendship.

One of Houdini’s final projects involved working with H. P. Lovecraft and C. M. Eddy, Jr. to produce a book about debunking all sorts of superstitious beliefs. The book was to be called The Cancer of Superstition.

Unfortunately, Houdini died before completion of the project. Only a synopsis and three chapters survive.

Harry Houdini, illusionist and escape artist, took pride in debunking spiritualists and frauds who took advantage of the public.

In many modern movie representations of magicians, we are greeted by tall and slim actors like Hugh Jackman in the role. Harry Houdini, never fit that mold; he was small, about 5 ft, 5 inches, with sharp handsome features and an amiable presence.

With his emphasis on debunking mystics and spiritualists, It’s somehow appropriate that Harry Houdinii died on Halloween in 1926.

Houdini was famed for being able to withstand physical punches. Unfortunately, in 1926, Gordon Whitehead, a student at McGill University in Montreal decided to test the illusionist’s prowess prior to an evening performance in the Canadian city. But

Houdini had a broken ankle and was resting in a reclined position when Whitehead punched him below the belt several times. He had no time to prepare for the punches. On stage that night, Houdini performed in great pain. When he finally saw a doctor in Detroit two days later, he was suffering from acute appendicitis. He declined immediate surgery, instead going on stage for his show in Detroit.

He passed out at least once and was revived and continued the show. He was hospitalized that night and died a couple of days later of peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix.

The grand illusionist could not escape his own mortality.

Wedding Planner & Guide 2014

How T o G et T he B est Deals On Wedding Service from the venue liked best, as that venue won’t want to lose business, especially to one of its chief competitors. In addition to pricing, estimates from other venues can vary based on what they include. Even if a favorite venue does not come down much on its original quote, they may be willing to add extra services, such as an open bar or an extra hour during the reception, free of charge to match a competitor’s offer. But they cannot match such offers if couples don’t first do their homework and solicit estimates from their competitors.

• Avoid making demands. Coming off as too demanding when negotiating prices with wedding vendors may not produce the results couples are hoping for. Much like couples don’t want to receive “take it or leave it” offers, vendors don’t want to be given demands they have to meet in order to book a wedding. The right tone can go a long way with wedding vendors, who are typically more willing to work with couples who treat them nicely than couples who enter the negotiation process full of demands. Vendors often like it when couples know what they want, but couples are not doing themselves any favors when they express those desires as demands.

• Don’t be afraid to ask for more. Making demands and asking for more are not the same thing. When negotiating with

wedding vendors, there’s no harm in asking for more. For example, the worst a deejay can do when asked to play an extra hour at no additional charge is deny that request. Reception venues often have the most wiggle room, so don’t be afraid to ask for free coffee with dessert or valet parking. Vendors are often open to suggestion and willing to honor requests, but it’s not their responsibility to make such offers.

• Make sure all contracts are itemized, and read them thoroughly before signing on the dotted line. The negotiation process is often tedious, and contracts should reflect that. When hiring a wedding vendor, make sure the contract is itemized, spelling out in intimate detail just what was negotiated and how much each item costs. Couples may even notice items in the contract that can be removed, saving them a few dollars as a result. Be especially mindful of extra fees that can add up. For example, some venues try to make up for lower rates couples negotiated by tacking on fees for cutting the cake or other minute details. These fees will be in the contract, and it’s up to couples to have them removed before they sign and the contract becomes official.

• Remember there are two parties involved in the negotiation process. Ven-

dors are not the only ones who might need to bend a little at the negotiating table. Couples might have to be flexible in order to make their dream weddings a reality. Some vendors charge considerably less during certain times of the year than they do during peak wedding season. If couples are finding it impossible to afford the wedding of their dreams during peak wedding season, they should consider tying the knot during a less popular time of year, when venues and vendors can offer

them more competitive rates. Brides- and grooms-to-be cannot expect vendors to bend over backward for couples who aren’t willing to make any concessions themselves, so couples might have to make certain sacrifices at the negotiating table when planning their weddings.

Negotiation plays a significant role in wedding planning. Couples who take the process of negotiation seriously often find the best deals without having to make too many concessions.

any engaged couples have grandiose visions of their wedding days. While such visions typically come to fruition, they often do so only after heavy negotiations with the various vendors necessary to turn a dream wedding into a reality.

Negotiating prices with wedding vendors is something brides- and grooms-tobe may not anticipate, but the process of negotiation is paramount for couples who hope to plan their dream weddings without ruining their budgets. Though vendors vary considerably with regard to their willingness to negotiate, the following are a few tips for couples hoping to get the best deals possible on their wedding services.

• Prepare, prepare, prepare. Couples who blindly enter negotiations with wedding venues and vendors are far less likely to get a good deal. When working with any wedding vendor, whether it’s a wedding venue representative, a local florist or a deejay, couples should know what the going rate for the vendor’s services are.

Couples who find a venue they like should receive quotes from similar venues before negotiating a rate with the venue they most prefer. Arming oneself with quotes from competitors increases the chances of receiving a more couple-friendly quote

Choose A Wedding Date Wisely

S eason

When thinking about potential wedding dates, it helps to have a place to start. Some couples find it helpful to start with a particular season and then narrow it down from there. Decide if you prefer the lush greenery of summer or the amazing color spectrum of an autumn afternoon. Perhaps you envision arriving at the ceremony with a snowpacked landscape amid twinkling holiday lights? Think about the season when you feel most happy and then determine if that time of year is doable.

tic sentiments synonymous with the holiday, while some couples prefer Halloween or Christmas weddings.

Holiday weddings can be exciting, but they also produce significant obstacles that couples who choose to get married during other times of year donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about.

Guests may not want to travel or spend time away from their families to attend a holiday wedding.

Having a wedding during a holiday may mean competing for vendors and reception spaces. Prices on everything from food to flowers to airline tickets could be higher as vendors cash in on customer demand.

D ay

of the week

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less expensive for couples to get married on Fridays and Sundays than Saturday afternoons or evenings. Couples may think that the money saved will be well worth it, but they also should think about how this decision may affect their guests. A Friday wedding requires people to take off from work or school. Sunday weddings may be slightly more convenient, but those who have to get back to work on Monday may be tired from latenight festivities. Couples should anticipate some guests not making it to their weddings when those weddings are not on Saturdays.

A ny

available dates

Your wedding date may be dictated by your caterer or wedding hall. If you have a particular venue in mind, you may be limited by their availability. This is a concession you will need to make if your heart is set on this particular location.

Planning a wedding can be exciting. But the ball cannot get rolling until couples first choose the day they will tie the knot.

Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day can be popular for weddings, but couples can expect stiff competition for venues due to that popularity.

Storrington Lions Club

M onth

Certain months may seem perfect, but not for busy professionals or those with limited vacation time at their disposal. For example, early spring may not be good for accountants tallying year-end numbers. Teachers may feel most comfortable tying the knot in the summer when they already have days off. If you run a pool business or a lawn maintenance company, then the summer might not be so good.

Keep these factors in mind.

R eligious

Couples having religious ceremonies should consult with their houses of worship as to which dates are acceptable. Some will not have weddings on days of religious observation. It is wise to consult with a church, synagogue or mosque before booking any other components of the wedding so that you are certain your chosen day is acceptable.

any couples find themselves bombarded with questions the moment they become engaged, and perhaps no questions is more common than, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When is the wedding?â&#x20AC;?

Although a number of couples would prefer to bask in the excitement of their engagement, some couples feel pressured to rush into picking a wedding date. Choosing a wedding date without giving it much consideration may make things more difficult down the road.

Rather than jumping head first into any decisions, couples should give thought to any and all dates and decide if there are certain times of the year they want to tie the knot or avoid.

Tuxedo Purchasing Pointers

desire something that fits your personality and your physique perfectly, buying your own tuxedo may be your best bet.

Men worried about purchasing a tuxedo only to see their waistlines increase or decrease should keep in mind that many tuxedo shops offer free tailoring for as long as you own the tuxedo.

When purchasing a tuxedo, men should choose classic styles and colors so they can enjoy the tux for years to come. Opt for a slim-fitting white shirt underneath that won’t billow out when jackets are removed. Men who want to break from tradition can opt for a shirt that is a pale blue or light gray to wear under the jacket. This is still an understated look, but one with a hint of creativity.

A classic, black bow tie is an ideal match when purchasing a more classic tuxedo. The bow tie is back in a big way, and men who want to spice things up can purchase more traditional neckties for those occasions when they don’t want to wear bow ties.

Tuxedos come with different lapel styles, and it’s important to know the differences. Today’s most popular style is the notch lapel, wherein a triangular indentation is cut where the lapel joins the collar. This lapel mimics the shape of a classic suit.

A peak lapel is the quintessential classic, featuring a broad, V-shaped lapel that points up and out just below the collar line. A shawl lapel is a smooth, rounded edge lapel. The shawl lapel reached the height of its popularity in the 1950s, but it can still look good today.

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR YOUR

WEDDING!

wedding cake is the piece de resistance of the wedding ceremony. Guests anxiously await the unveiling of the cake near the end of the festivities. Modern cakes are showpieces grander in scale than in years past. As bakers and confectioners hone their skills with fondant, buttercream and gum paste even further, the results are often impressive, aweinspiring cake designs.

While the look of a wedding cake is certainly important, cakes should not only look good, but taste good as well. Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting was once the gold standard. But today’s couples are being more adventurous with their wedding cakes and winning rave reviews from guests along the way.

The vast scope of wedding cake flavor choices available to brides and grooms is astonishing. Options may range from the traditional to something adventurous and daring. Keeping in mind that couples will need to please the masses, finding a compromise between plain vanilla and a mocha-chile-coconut surprise is essential. Otherwise, they risk an unpopular flavor and a lot of wasted, expensive cake.

Some couples shy away from more adventurous cakes because they fear something chocolately or not white in color will not be well suited to a wedding reception. Such couples should keep in mind that any flavor of cake can be hidden beneath layers of pearly white fondant or royal icing. Therefore, the sky is the limit with regard to flavor combinations.

Those who might want to veer from tradition can consider these clever cake combinations.

• Lemon cake with vanilla buttercream: Lemons are tart, juicy and refreshing, helping to cleanse the palate after a rich meal. Lemon cake, with its summery feel, is tailor-made for summer weddings. The flavor is popular enough to appeal to many, but just a little different to add an unexpected zip of flavor.

• Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and mocha filling: True chocoholics will be hard-pressed to resist such a decadent flavor profile. Chocolate can

be sweet and satisfying and a welcome change from the vanilla cakes commonly served. For traditionalists, the cake can be covered with a white chocolate ganache. Or couples can ask that the cake be adorned with white sugar roses for an eye-appealing contrast.

Chocolate cakes covered with autumn hued flowers go over well at fall weddings.

• Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting: Red velvet cake was once a regionally specific staple, but now has grown steadily in popularity across the country. Red velvet has quickly become the new classic, as its vibrant red coloring offers a shock of something different, while the flavor is mild for those who are not comfortable taking risks. The richness and creaminess of cream cheese is irresistible.

• White cake with chocolate mousse: Couples who want a bit of chocolate but do not want to be overwhelmed can select a white cake that is filled with light and rich chocolate mousse. It’s the perfect blend of vanilla and chocolate for guests who enjoy both.

• Variety tiers: Those who cannot settle on just one flavor can have different flavors on each tier of their cakes. This gives guests some flavorful variety and enables them to pick their favorite flavor combination.

Brides- and grooms-to-be who have specific flavors in mind can ask their bakers to include two cupcakes with the wedding cake. Then the couple can enjoy their own mini cakes while the rest of the guests enjoy a more classic cake. In addition, an assortment of cupcakes in lieu of one cake can give guests the opportunity to sample several different flavors.

Cakes are a part of many special events, but few cakes are fawned over as much as wedding cakes.

Couples can spice things up by choosing a nontraditional flavor combination.

entlemen getting ready to tie the knot will have to make certain wardrobe choices so they look their best on their big day. Although many grooms-to-be rent tuxedos on their wedding day, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a tuxedo.

Tuxedos are the ultimate formal wear for men.

Worn at formal gatherings like proms, weddings and lavish parties, tuxedos have undergone several style changes over the years. Men interested in looking polished will find no option makes that impression more convincingly than the right tuxedo.

Men frequently called upon to attend formal events may find purchasing a tuxedo is a wise investment. There are several advantages to owning a tux rather than renting one time and again. Tuxedos typically cost around $1,000, whereas renting tuxedos can be $200 or more each time, making it advantageous for men who frequently don tuxedos to purchase their own rather than rent.

Another advantage to owning a tuxedo is the opportunity to wear a tux that is custom-made and tailored just for you. Instead of a rental that will merely be stitched temporarily to fit your measurements, a tuxedo you purchase will be tailored specifically to your body, increasing comfort and making you look better as well.

Men who buy their own tuxedos also can choose the style, fabric, color, buttons, accessories, and type of lapels on the jacket. A tuxedo store may have more styles available for sale than for rent. If you

Wedding Invitations T ip Sheet wedding. Will you be hosting a black tie affair, or will it be a casual gathering at the shore? Guests infer many things about the wedding from the invitations, which should match the formality of the event in style and the sentiments expressed. An ornate invitation written with classic wording suggests a more formal affair, while a whimsical invitation with less formal wording could indicate a more laid-back event. â&#x20AC;˘ Dare to be different by playing with invitation sizes and shapes. Rectangular cards are standard for wedding invitations, but you can explore your creativity by choosing more modern, artsy invitations. Circular invites or scalloped edges can add some whimsy to the wedding mood. Invitations that fold out or are embellished with ribbon or other decorations can be appealing.

Just keep in mind that cards that are not the standard shape and size could be more costly to send. Always have the entire wedding invitation weighed and priced at the post office so you will know what the postage will cost. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose a legible font and text color. Your invitation may look beautiful, but it may prove ineffective if it is difficult to read. Do not risk guests misinterpreting the date or the location

because they cannot read the writing on the invitation. Steer clear of pastel or yellow text colors, and remember to have a high contrast between the color of the invitation and the text you are using for easy reading. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep the invitation simple. It may be tempting to load the invitation with lots of information, but all you really need are the key pieces of information, such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;who,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;what,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;where,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;when.â&#x20AC;? Crowding the card will take away from its aesthetic appeal.

Most stationers will suggest a separate, smaller insert in the wedding invitation for the reception information and response card. Never put information such as where you are registered or â&#x20AC;&#x153;no kids allowed.â&#x20AC;? This is material

better reserved for word of mouth or on a wedding Web site. â&#x20AC;˘ Do some math. It is important to know your dates so you can receive the invitations on time, mail them out, and give guests enough time to respond. A good rule of thumb is to mail out the invitations at least two months before the wedding. Have an RSVP date of no more than three to four weeks before the wedding, giving ample time to the caterers and accommodating anyone who procrastinates in sending in a response. You will need the final headcount in order to confirm seating arrangements and plan for centerpieces and favors. â&#x20AC;˘ Handwrite the envelopes. Your invitation will look more impressive

if you address them by hand, rather than printing them off of a computer. If your handwriting is not very neat, consider hiring a professional calligrapher to write out your envelopes. â&#x20AC;˘ Make it easy for guests to respond.

Be sure to place a stamp on the response card envelope and have that envelope already addressed with your home address so that guests will have no excuses not to mail a response back promptly. â&#x20AC;˘ Always order extra. Mistakes happen, and you may need to send out a few extra invitations that you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t originally counted. Always order extra invitations just to be on the safe side.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget you will probably want to keep one as a keepsake for yourself.

edding invitations often provide guests with a first glimpse of a weddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style.

Invitations also may serve as the means by which distant friends and relatives find out about a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pending nuptials if a formal announcement was not made.

Amid the flourishes of calligraphy and impressive paper stock is information that speaks to the importance of the day when two people will be joining their lives together. Guests will learn not only the time and the place of the wedding from the invitation, but also the formality of the event and the scope of the party that will follow.

Couples should keep certain things in mind as they begin to design their wedding invitations. â&#x20AC;˘ Have a good idea of your potential guest list. Before shopping for wedding invitations, it is key to have a strong idea of just how big the wedding will be and how many guests will be invited. This way you will know how many invitations you will need.

Invitations vary in price, so cost may be a consideration if your guest list is extensive. â&#x20AC;˘ Decide on the formality of the

UP IN MY GRILL

My Funny Valentine

By Kate Kristiansen Columnist

“Valentines Day is for girls,” said my daughter. When asked why she would suggest that, she claimed, “The boy doesn’t really care. It’s just another day.”

I was aghast; however, who could blame her? She has two parents who are rarely in the same city, let alone the same country, on Valentine’s Day. The day passes with heartfelt phone calls, a card and occasionally flowers. I am big on cards. Maybe it’s the writer in me, but to me what’s written inside is bigger than any old gift.

I told her that both people in a relationship both deserve to feel loved, not just on Valentine’s Day, but all year long. Her father and I are good to each other every day.

All of this talk of love reminded me of an encounter I had while on a recent visit to a café in Picton.

I stumbled upon the Regent Café a few years back and I try and stop whenever I’m in the area. Hubby and

I have taken the dog in the summer to sit on the patio and watch passersby. Located at 222 Main Street West, the café sits next to the historic Regent Theatre.

This sweet little stop opened in 2001, adding to the fabric of the downtown main street. It’s open for breakfast and lunch, and offers up good food made with local ingredients such as breakfast burritos, eggs benedict, fruit and yogurt, fresh baked muffins, warm bowls of soup, salads, sandwiches and pizza. The atmosphere is charming with its local artwork, white walls and quaint little tables offering guests a chance to relax and chat.

On this particular day, I ventured in on my own for a steaming latte and chocolate croissant. Warmly greeted by owners David Wheately and Megan Van Horne, I found a spot where I could fire up the laptop and settle in to do some work.

Shortly after my arrival, a nicely dressed, distinguished gentleman strolled in. With a broad smile, a newspaper and book tucked neatly

under his arm, he asked to use the café phone. Perhaps he was a regular, as owner David Wheatley did not hesitate to hand it over. I was intrigued by the man’s question, given that pretty much all of us carry cell phones these days, so I leaned in to learn more.

He explained his wish was to call his sweetheart and invite her for lunch. He had just been to the shops, and wanted to have her meet him there, at a cozy table for two.

I sat appearing as if I was not prying in on their conversation, but a smile escaped as I secretly was in awe of the gesture. While my husband texts me daily with cute messages, I couldn’t recall him calling and asking me to meet him for lunch in some time.

The owner was friendly as the gentleman told the story of how the two had met. He spoke of meeting her through his friend, who was her brother, and how she looked that first day. His grin was wide and his eyes danced as he spoke of her initial refusals and inevitable ac-

young and old, quietly sipping coffee and eating something sweet.

First dates offer up promises for the future – the smallest gesture is exciting and new. The real test comes when after all the firsts and seconds pass us by, when the good times and troubling times wash over us in waves. For love to last, each of us must remember the other.

I tell my daughter that love should be present all year round. That on any given day you should expect the unexpected from the person you’ve picked to have lunch with for the rest of your life.

ceptance. I still recall the feeling of wonder and pleasure this man’s love for his (wife, I assumed) gave me.

We all have “our story” of how we met our significant other.

I often tell the story to my daughter of how her father “had me at hello,” as much for his Kiwi accent as his boyish good looks. He has been my Valentine every day since then.

This man in the café sat adjacent to me, his legs crossed as he read his book, waiting for his beloved. He was a handsome man. The pessimist in me worried that she may not show up. How could they still be in love after such a long time? I worried for them without even knowing who they were.

In particular, I worried because I hoped and wished that this would one day happen to me. That after all the busy days were behind us, my husband would call and still want it to be me he invited to lunch.

The Regent Café is whimsical and rich with history - a perfect destination for lovers. I’ll bet if its walls could talk, they would tell of many couples,

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage Events - How often do we listen to a song and give real thought to what’s being said through the lyrics?

Kingston singer/songwriter Megan Hamilton is on a mission help people connect with the music they listen to on an intimate level by encouraging musicians to reveal the deeper meaning behind the songs they write.

“Sometimes we don’t listen to words when we listen to a song - and this is coming from somebody who writes songs,” she says. “Often I get taken away by the production value, which is completely valid as well, but it’s the craft of song writing – the poetry and the lyrics – that I’m interested in.”

To help turn the spotlight on lyrics and the song-writing process in general, Hamilton is hosting an event called Naked Songs, which takes place Feb. 12 at The Mansion. In addition to performing their music, participating artists, including local singer/songwriters Hamilton, John McLurg and Reuben DeGroot, along with Halifax singer/songwriter Kim Harris, will be encouraged to share what it was that inspired

them to write the songs they play, or perhaps interesting stories about the process of writing them.

“The idea behind Naked Songs is to show the songs in their original, strippeddown form so you can really listen to the words,” Hamilton explains. “I’ve participated in and seen a fair number of these in song writing circles and I’ve always really enjoyed them. Often they’re a little bit more relaxed, so a lot of interesting dialogue and storytelling can come out of the experience.”

All four artists will be on stage for two hours straight, except for a short intermission halfway through, and will take turns playing in sequence.

“Often what can happen is you may come prepared with a set list but then the person sings a song ahead of you that reminds you of a song that you wrote so you can change your mind and decide to go with that song,” Hamilton says. “It’s interesting sometimes to see the natural arc that can happen. There’s an interesting through line when everybody’s just going with the flow and playing what the other songs are reminding them of in their own songs.”

The evening is intended to be a very

unique and intimate experience for audience members, who will be encouraged to ask questions. As host for the evening, Hamilton will guide the discussion by introducing the artists and encouraging dialogue and exchange between them and the audience.

“The audience will get a sense of the song writing process and you get a sense of sort of the person who is behind the song,” she explains.

Hamilton notes that when she has attended such events in the past, she’s always left feeling inspired, with a very warm feeling in her heart. Her hope is that Naked Songs will have a similar effect on those who attend.

“They might learn an intimate secret about a song or the story behind being on tour and playing a song. I think it can give you an even deeper affinity towards the music that you’re listening to when you can walk away and have a deeper understanding.”

Hamilton adds that she hopes Naked Songs will be the first of many similar events she will host in the Limestone City.

Naked Songs will take place Wednesday, Feb. 12 from 8-10 p.m. at The Mansion. Singer/songwriter and Naked Songs host Megan Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a longlingering work project is a viable option.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

Mental health speaker series informs parents

By Kelly Reid Reporter

Heritage News - “What adolescents worry about, and how they handle that worry, can manifest very differently from person to person,” says Beth Giorno, a parent from the Frontenac Family of Schools. Giorno is the chair of the Healthy Minds Healthy Future (HMHF) committee, which is a project aiming to bring information about mental health to parents of adolescents. The Ontario Ministry of Education provided the funding through the Parents Reaching Out Grant.

Giorno explains that the idea for the series started more than a year ago. “It’s a need that’s been around for quite some time and certainly in the last 10 years it’s gained significant prominence. We want to remove the Heritage Events – The Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies performed a concert for barrier of stigma and let children and parents their Kingston fans at the Rogers K-Rock Centre on Jan. 30.

“Some of the topics that were continually brought up early on include communication, handling perfectionism, self-image, and social media pressures,” says Giorno. “We decided that it would be helpful to our community to focus on local support, so that they knew who to reach out to.” In addition to guest speakers on Feb. 12, HMHF is also inviting representatives from community mental health groups to set up information tables. Groups attending include the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Child Development Centre of Hotel Dieu, and the Family Resource Centre, among many others.

Giorno assures the community that attendees don’t necessarily need to be a part of the Frontenac Family of Schools. “We’ve sent out the poster to all the schools in the Limestone district,” she says. “We’ve tried to branch out as far as we can. What’s important is to tap into the parent community.”

The HMHF series wraps up in April with a final keynote speech, again by Dr. Manion, about building resilience. “We hope we will have provided some really positive knowledge and skills for parents,” Giorno says of what the committee aims to accomplish. “It will be a help to youth, and parents will have some strategies to implement in their own home. That really is our hope.”

The HMHF Connecting Locally event will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 12 from 6:30 - 9 p.m. at Frontenac Secondary School. The event is free of admission. For more information about the topics and speakers, visit www. frontenacss.limestone.on.ca.

Housing plan for Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old Tannery property moves to next stage Reporter

Kingston Heritage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; City councillors are throwing their full support behind the latest initiative to clean up and develop the old Davis Tannery site along Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inner Harbour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving in a very positive direction,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Rick Downes, whose district borders the long vacant 15-hectare property.

He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the Davis Tannery is the biggest brownfield in the old city. If we can get going on that it will make for a meaningful development of the Inner Harbour.â&#x20AC;?

Council gave unanimous approval Jan. 21 to allow a local development firm, Jay Patry Enterprises Inc., to draft a more detailed proposal to purchase, clean up and construct housing on the Tannery lands. The company was the only one to express interest in developing the site during the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent call for proposals.

The initial plan submitted by Jay Patry Enterprises envisions 1,200 units in three apartment buildings 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.

City officials will work with the company to try and refine the proposal in order to satisfy municipal needs for an environmental remediation strategy, financing and project plan. A final recommendation is expected to return to council by June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, it would come back to council with a recommendation before it could be approved,â&#x20AC;? said commissioner Cynthia Beach.

The former tannery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a factory that manufactured leather out of animal hides - was the scene of heavy industrial uses from 1867 to 1970, and has remained vacant ever since it closed. The city moved to claim ownership of the site due to millions of dollars in un-

paid taxes. Rideau Renewal Inc. acquired the property about seven years ago on the condition it be developed within five years, however that never happened.

The city is now pursuing its option to buy back the property and sell it to another developer, possibly Jay Patry Enterprises.

Coun. Downes says before any housing is built the site must undergo an extensive soil clean-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to ensure that when a Brownfield is developed the city closely monitors where the contamination is and how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being dealt with in a proper way.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to housing, the site is also slated for public parkland and waterfront trails. The Tannery lands are touted as large enough to meet Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire housing growth needs for a year.

Coun. Downes says the development potential is enormous in order to reduce urban sprawl. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the final development concept focus on mixed housing, not just apartment buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of the big picture and the Kingston Inner Harbour, we want to have the land in that area developed first before we start to develop greenfields in the east, west and north end.â&#x20AC;?

Commissioner Beach says Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brownfields plan would allow the developers to defer up to 80 per cent of property taxes for a decade in order to offset some of the hefty clean-up costs.

She says there will be timelines and other criteria attached to the property before the city turns it over to another company. In addition to a five year time limit to begin development, the city is expected to seek securities that the owner would pay the city as penalties if the timelines are not met, Beach told council.

Jay Patry Enterprises is the same company behind The 78th hockey game between RMC and West Point was held at the Rogers K-Rock Centhe construction of a 500-bedroom apartment com- tre on Saturday, Jan. 25. Despite lots of support for the local team, the visitors from West Photo/John Harman plex at Princess and Victoria Streets that burned down Point prevailed 5-2 over the Paladins. in a spectacular fire in mid-December.

Holy Cross boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track team set to represent Ontario at Nike Grand Prix

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This May, Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School will be representing Kingston at a national track and field competition. The Nike Grand Prix hosts 24 track and field teams from across Canada at their annual competition event in Toronto and this year Holy Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; track team was chosen to represent Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple of the boys from the track team approached me and said that they saw on the OFSAA website that they were accepting applications for the Nike Grand Prix and they thought it would be a great opportunity for them to showcase their talents and for track in general in Kingston,â&#x20AC;? explained Joanna Besselink, Cross Country and Track and Field Coach at Holy Cross.

From there, the team put together an application complete with an essay on why they deserve to compete, athlete information forms and a letter of reference from their coach. The team also submitted information on their academics and extracurricular activities, which is something that is not always part of athletic competitions, but was a priority for this one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teams are selected for the Grand Prix based on athletics as well as academics. It is a combina-

tion, so the students have to submit a summary of their track and field experience including all other high school sports that they participate in as well and then they also have to talk about school involvement like councils, clubs and other activities,â&#x20AC;? added Besselink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are really looking for the complete student athlete.â&#x20AC;?

Luckily, Holy Cross was successful and the team, which is made up of athletes from multiple grades is excited to compete in all of the events at the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be competing in the 100, 200, 400, 800, sprint hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put, and the relay,â&#x20AC;? explained Besselink.

But the relay race is not an ordinary relay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is a cross provincial relay so they will be put with students from the other provinces to compete. It will make it interesting and fun, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how good the hand-offs will be, but it should be a lot of fun for the competitors.â&#x20AC;?

The competition takes place from May 9-11 and that means that the team will have to pay for travel, accommodations and other things while they are in Toronto. In order to pay for these expenses, the team will be fundraising and looking for sponsors in the coming months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just got the fundraising kit and we are meeting next week to

decide what kinds of events weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do and we will start fundraising as soon as possible,â&#x20AC;? added Besselink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to do some community events, especially events involving younger athletes, but I am not sure what will occur at this point. We are also in need of some sponsors, so we will be draft-

ing a letter to go out to local businesses in the coming months.â&#x20AC;?

The boys will also be starting an indoor training schedule in the coming weeks and although Besselink is confident that they will do well in competition, she is just happy to have the opportunity to take the boys to a national completion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really excited to travel and to compete at a new level and to represent Kingston at the event.

Hopefully we will be successful, but if not we are still grateful for the opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

Cream and green 1951 Mercury coupe a show-stopper!

Heritage Lifestyle – Sometimes it’s the colour of a car that makes it stand out at a car show, and this is certainly true of the 1951 Mercury coupe owned for the past 20 years

by Bernie MacKinnon of Kitchener, Ontario.

On Saturday, Aug. 10 last year, Catherine and I were walking around at the big Bothwell Car Show hosted by Old Autos newspaper when she spotted Bernie’s Mercury from three rows away and said: “Look at that cream and green car way over there. We have to go and take a look!” It turned out to be a 1951 Mercury coupe. Bernie freshened up the finish about 20 years ago, and these are the same colours that adorned the car when it rolled off the assembly line 62 years ago.

Bernie was born in 1942 and grew up in the Maritimes and Mis-

sissauga before moving to Kitchener. Now retired from driving a transport truck, he has time to spend on his hobbies, including vintage cars and playing hockey three times a week. He calls himself a “Renaissance” man because he is interested in everything, including old cars. He has bought and sold some collector cars over the years but his 1951 Mercury is a “keeper.”

His 12-year-old grandson Adam is glad Grandpa is keeping it because he looks forward to having it some day.

The car was stored for some 29 years in North Dakota before coming to Ontario and had been liberally treated to a ‘50s-style asphalt undercoating which kept the body factory fresh. The interior had suffered some deterioration over the years and has now been completely redone by Bernie’s friend of fifty years, Harold “Butch” Smith of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. The result is immaculate.

The car has some popular accessories, including an outside sun visor, spotlights, locking gas cap

cover, fender skirts, windshield washers, and a radio with a rear seat speaker. The only modification the car has received is a new set of radial wide whitewall tires.

Otherwise, the car is completely original, right down to the 255 cubic inch flathead V8 under the hood, which has no trouble keeping up with modern traffic.

The odometer showed about

40,000 miles when Bernie bought the car, and it is now up to around 50,000. He has driven the car twice across Canada for A&W and loves driving it to car shows and cruise nights. In July 2013, he participated in the annual “Cruising on King Street” in Kitchener to the absolute delight of 60,000 spectators. After he parked his car, he was interviewed by Rogers TV. His car is

becoming a celebrity!

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”
