Belle Park supporters eager to help municipal golf course stay in business By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – After more than two years of uncertainly and acrimony, supporters of Kingston’s Belle Park Fairways no longer feel down in the dumps. “It’s a wonderful occasion for us. We’ve got all this energy pivoted to cooperation instead of opposition and confrontation,” said Jacques Menard, moments after city council agreed to form a six-member public working group to look for ways to revitalize the city-owned golf course. Menard, a local lawyer, is with The Friends of Belle Park, a community group of avid golfers, athletes, marketing experts and other interested individuals who share a common passion for preserving and fixing up Kingston’s only municipal golf course. “We have a ton of good ideas floating around,” said Menard.

Soon, it will be time to put some of those ideas on paper, research their effectiveness, and pitch them to council. The city-appointed working group, whose membership has yet to be decided, will have a one-year mandate to work on strategies that focus on golf course maintenance, programming, potential partnerships, advertising and marketing, and renovations. The group will work closely with the city’s recreation and leisure department to come up with recommendations for council. The Friends of Belle Park, or The Friends as members call themselves, say their goal is not to hijack the new working group. In fact, there’s no guarantee any of its members will be appointed as advisors. “We are looking to put forward only two persons (as candidates) because we want to leave lots of space for other people to come into this tent,” Menard explained. Coun. Rob Hutchison, whose district includes the 56-acre Belle Park along

the Cataraqui River, says he’s interested in more than just preserving the money-losing golf course. “It’s about more than the golf course. It’s about a public space that includes tennis, basketball, walking and hiking and nature. It’s a chance to have a mixture of cultivated uses, wild uses and contemplative uses. I think it can be all

In the fast lane: New report Special limited time pricing finds Kingston Transit express service gaining more riders By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage - Kingston Transit’s multimillion dollar express route appears to be catching on. More than one-quarter of a million riders have given it a try so far. The figure is based on the first review of the service expansion since it launched in September of last year. “Preliminary performance data indicates the service expansion has been very successful and has met or exceeded the goals targeted in the Transit Redevelopment Plan,” according to a Feb. 18 report to council by transportation director Sheila Kidd. She says the 501 and 502 express routes collectively carried 255,685 people between September and December 2013. Kingston Transit reviewed passenger trends during the first four months of the express service and found ridership increased by 8.2 per cent over the same period in 2012. If the trend continues, Kingston Transit will have just over 3.7 million riders by the end of 2014, an overall transit-wide increase of 2.3 per cent, which is in keeping with the initial projection, according to Kidd. At the same time, sales of the monthly Transpass have increased by 15.5 per cent, while overall adult monthly pass sales increased by 6.6 per cent. The new transit service provides an express loop between Kingston’s west end and the downtown that runs every 15 minutes during peak hours and 30 minutes at all other times of the day. The ex-

press route has fewer stops than traditional routes, but includes stops near major commercial areas, park-and-ride areas and other places central to neighbourhoods. The city has invested millions of dollars to provide the first phase of enhanced service; launching 10 new buses, hiring extra drivers and installing or upgrading dozens of bus shelters. Two of the express stop locations, Centre 70 and Kingston Gospel Temple, were also turned into free park-and-ride spaces in the existing parking lots. But the addition of two parking locations does not seem to be as popular with commuters who don’t want to leave their cars midway into their journey. “Parking counts completed at various times over the past four months have shown an average of 16 vehicles per car at Centre 70 and 7 vehicles per day at the Kingston Gospel Temple on weekdays,” said the report. The new service has encountered growing pains. Riders have complained about changes made to local routes that connect to the express service, longer gaps between express bus stops, and additional bus transfers that didn’t exist before. A harsh winter and unplanned staff vacancies also put pressure on Kingston Transit to keep its buses running on time. “Staff is addressing these daily operational issues, and has recently hired 12 new part-time bus operators who will be fully trained by mid-March to ensure service levels are maintained,” explained Kidd. The west end-to-downtown express service is the first of several major improvements planned for Kingston Transit. Two more express routes will launch in May 2015, bringing faster bus service to east end and central Kingston riders.

Frustrated Kingston city councillor goes on retirement rant By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Just months after he fought to keep Sydenham District as part of Kingston’s municipal map, the councillor for that district is calling it quits. Coun. Bill Glover says he won’t seek re-election this fall, ending a run that began in 2006. “You deserve a councillor who can make a fresh start,” he wrote in an open letter to his supporters Feb. 10. In announcing his decision, the eight year councillor launched into a scathing attack on some of his colleagues around the horseshoe and, in particular, the frosty relations that have developed since he was reelected to a second term in 2010. “This largely do-nothing council has clearly demonstrated that they will, with the exception of electoral boundaries, endorse anything staff brings forward, and reject virtually anything else,” Glover observed. Coun. Jim Neill, who is known

to vote on like-minded issues with Glover, says he agrees this council has not accomplished much during its term. “I know what Bill’s frustrations were,” he said. “What has the current council under the current mayor achieved as any kind of a legacy issue to look back on about this four years?” Neill wondered. The outspoken Glover also reiterated his strong belief that the majority of councillors are voting in a pattern that follows the campaign funding they received from “development businesses” such as contractors, real estate and insurance agencies. His open criticism of campaign donations has rankled several councillors. He says relations with the mayor and others have continued to deteriorate. “Indeed, Mark (Gerretsen) does not speak to me, while others of the majority are little more than briefly pleasant in public.” When questioned recently about the friction on council, the mayor tried to downplay the issue.

Bill Glover “The relationships are not that bad,” said Gerretsen in a pre-Christmas interview, adding councillors are passionate about their districts. “It’s not all what it seems like on (televised council meetings).” But Coun. Glover says relations

have never been worse and he cannot work with the majority of council any longer. He quoted the words spoken by Barney Frank, who retired as a veteran U.S. Congressman: “If you are not able to work with people you despise, you can’t really work here.” Coun. Glover’s attack didn’t end there. He says he believes he could win a third term if he wanted to, but says the prospect of serving another four years with this “same bunch” would not benefit his constituents, fearing their interests would continue to be “stalled or ignored” as his proposals and ideas are routinely dismissed. Coun. Glover joined a highlypublicized battle to preserve historic Sydenham District which had been voted out of existence under controversial electoral boundary reforms approved by council last spring. The battle was eventually decided by the Ontario Municipal Board when it ruled that the downtown area district should not only

be saved, but also that its vast postsecondary student base (and those in other districts) must be counted as part of the population. Coun. Glover also addressed the ongoing Integrity Commissioner’s investigation into the conduct of two unidentified individuals connected to the electoral boundary appeal, insisting his decision to retire this fall is not connected to that investigation. He was recently questioned as part of the probe, the results of which have not yet been made public. In his retirement letter, he said: “I am firmly convinced, and no one has suggested that I am mistaken, that when his (Integrity Commissioner’s) report comes down, we will find that it was a rather expensive, but ‘unsuccessful fishing trip.’” At least two candidates have already put their names forward to represent Sydenham District in the October election: Bonnie Ferguson and Peter Stroud.

She is hoping that this will increase voter turnout and maybe give her a bit of an edge. Regardless, she is interested to see how things turn out and no matter what happens, she intends to be active in helping the community of Bath have a voice.

Heritage News – For Joy Silver, politics and township affairs were never really things she thought about. Silver grew up in the village of Bath and while she always enjoyed being involved in community life, she never saw herself as a leader. As the owner of a local beauty and wellness shop, Silver interacted regularly with community members and in 2006, it was her clients that pushed her to run for the position of Bath councillor. After losing the race, Silver decided to find out what township politics were all about. “I ran in that election and I lost, but it motivated me to learn more about what I ran for,” explained Silver. “I became more interested and I joined the Parks Committee in Loyalist Township. I also started following the council meetings and went to budget meetings too. I was the only resident there, but I really wanted to know more and wanted to question things and become more involved.” From there, Silver headed up the Canada Day celebrations committee in Bath after learning that it was at risk of being cut due to lack of budget. She learned how to organize fundraising campaigns in the community and apply for grants. With all of her activism, Silver won business awards and environmental awards in the community and when elections came around in 2010, residents pushed her to shoot higher, and Silver threw her name into the hat for deputy mayor. “I had a man from Amherstview approach me who wanted me to run higher in the election because he wanted me to represent Amherstview too,” recalled Silver. “He thought that the work I was doing was great, but I still really didn’t understand all of the poli-

tics. My focus was really on the parks and the kids and the seniors, but I realized if I wanted to protect all of those things I had to run. I wanted to make sure that all of this was maintained and protected and running for deputy mayor was the best way to ensure that.” While the race was a bit more challenging and involved heavy campaigning outside of Bath, Silver was still optimistic and despite losing again, she remained focused and maintained her status in the Bath community. Her main focus became revitalizing the parks in Loyalist Township and trying to give a voice to members of the community at council meetings. Now, with another election looming, many residents want to know what Silver is planning. “This year I am running for councillor in the village of Bath,” confessed Silver, “The current representative isn’t doing all of the things I’d like to see done. I want to be more involved and see certain things accomplished. I also don’t want to criticize what others are doing while I stand back and watch. I want to be that person representing Bath.” Silver certainly has the support of her clients and she is hoping that will expand to the rest of the community too. She is running on a platform that focuses on giving a voice to community members. Silver is passionate about seniors’ issues, educating children and environmental issues and she hopes that she can continue working for these passions as a councillor. “One of my main goals is the parks, of course, but I also want to support the businesses in Bath and help expand the business base in the village,” added Silver. “I also want to initiate talks about seniors’ issues. Many of my clients are seniors and they come to me with their concerns and I’d love to be able to help. As a resident, speaking up at council

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

The artist photographer By Mark Bergin Columnist

Enchanté - I first met Jay Kopinski years ago on the street. We were each working as photojournalists for different newspapers. He impressed me with his invisibility; it’s a strength of introverts. The best photographers are often the ones you don’t see doing their jobs. Jay also impressed me with his photography skills. Pro photographers get a lot of calls for freelance shots from many professional performing arts groups, sports event organizers and different wire services like Associated Press and Canadian Press. After referring several agencies to Jay, I realized he’d become my go-to photographer when I couldn’t take on an assignment. That says a lot about his skill level. I’m not going to send an important contract out to someone who isn’t going to do a first-class job. He’s also an unassuming and very pleasant person. Oh, and a dad. His family receives his primary devotion these days. When we got together last week, his new daughter, Halina, was only three days old. The Olympics came at the right time for him. One of his big contracts is shooting at all the Ottawa Senators home games for Icon agency. So he gets a break during the Olympics. It turned out to be great timing for a baby to arrive.

You might think he’d get sick of hockey but he notes that he’s never actually been able to just relax, sit in the stands and watch, although he’s shot about 150 NHL games in Ottawa alone. Sports and street photography come with injuries. Fortunately for Jay, he said there’s been nothing serious. Some might argue that getting hit by a puck, an elbow to the head or a camera being smashed into one’s face when it gets hit are all potential disasters, but they’re just minor inconveniences for the sports photog. A few years back, I had to turn down an aerial photography contract. I love taking shots from high above and I have a pilot’s license, but the timing was simply not right. So I recommended Jay for the job. I didn’t realize until our interview last week that he is not fond of flying. Never mind that he’d never been in a small four-seater airplane. Guess I should have warned him that we also take the door off the plane when taking photographs. You get a much better field of view with no door or glass in the way. It’s unnerving if you have never been in a plane with nothing between your seat and the earth a few thousand feet below. Regardless, he took the contract, enjoyed the adrenalin rush and completed the task. Jay grew up in Trenton. He didn’t start out intending photography to be his career. He began in fine art.

“From Grade 9 through OAC, all I did was paint an draw,” he said. “I loved music and art. Being an introvert, all the time I’d focus on creative endeavors in my room. I still played sports, but even there, when I had an option, I had to take the option that was a little different. So when I played hockey I was the goalie.” Instead of heading to the University of Toronto for fine art, he ended up at Loyalist College in an advertising program that allowed him to work in photography and graphic design in his final year. “I hated the advertising part of things, but it allowed me to pursue my love of photography.” He’s largely self-taught and has always enjoyed photography. Jay still remembers the first camera he ever worked with. “It was one of those Polaroid Land cameras,” he said. “It was a big green thing, you’d pull the photo out and put it in your armpit for warmth to develop it. It was the first camera I ever played with.” He became passionate about photography a couple of decades ago when he travelled to Thailand. “I was young, and it was an adventure,” he said. “I backpacked around Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.” And he took photographs. Lots. Nowadays, Jay and his wife, Sarah McCutcheon, live in Gananoque.

“Gan feels like a town in the past,” he said. “Kids play on the streets. It’s a great spot for a family.” Sarah is also a photographer, but you’ll find her covering weddings and doing portraits, not Jay’s interest area. Introverts aren’t big lovers of the whole wedding scene. His work at all the Ottawa Senators home hockey games is demanding and stressful. He’s shooting and sending photos off to the agency during each period. Those photos then get sent around the world. By the end of the first 20-minute period, Jay’s photos will already be showing up in Washington, California and around the world. Game day starts a couple of hours before the puck is dropped. There’s a team meeting for photographers. They get their shooting positions in the arena. “After that, we sit around and talk shop, share photos of our kids, and just chat,” he said. “It’s less exciting than you might expect. We might get something to eat in the media room and then some of us go down to shoot warm-ups. Some don’t bother with that unless they have to get photos of a specific player.” One day over lunch, he got chatting with a Swedish man. Jay realized after the fact that it was Daniel Alfredsson’s father. Many pros stick to one specialty, like sports. Jay’s more diverse. He also

loves low-light situations like theatre and concerts. “Anything that puts me on the edge, I really like it,” he said. “At a concert or inside a theatre with almost no light or up in a plane with the door off, I love it all.” He said he’d like to be working fulltime for an NHL team, which would mean a move to somewhere like Florida or Winnipeg (to use two weather extreme examples). “I’d go anywhere,” he said. “As long as I could support the family, it would be worth it. Photography is my obsession.” He also has fun with his family. “I’m a very hands-on kind of dad,” he said. “I’m a real family man. It’s like I’m an introvert in the outside world, but an extravert at home.” For young people considering photography as a career, Jay said they should take as many photos as they can. “Shoot, shoot and shoot some more photos,” he said. “Either you have it (the skill) or you don’t. Never stop doing it. But you have to have a passion for it. If you don’t want to do it every day, then don’t do it as a career.” I wondered if he has a favorite image or perfect photo he’s shot? “I’m never satisfied with anything I shoot,” he said. That’s the artist talking. And this photographer has always been an artist.

of that.� But the revitalized vision could come with a hefty price tag that will likely be left for the next council to decide, and finance, since the Belle Park working group’s mandate is expected to extend beyond the fall civic elections. An earlier staff report estimated the golf course alone will need over $1 million in capital repairs to resurface the fairways and tee decks and relocate the greens to make it more attractive to users. Drawing more players to the municipal golf course has been an ongoing challenge. Belle Park has required an annual tax subsidy for nearly a decade due to declining memberships and rising operating costs. The course is expected to need a $200,000 subsidy when it opens again in 2014 for its 40th season atop an old civic landfill. The fate of this recreational park space has been hotly debated since an initial 2012 staff report outlined various options to repurpose the facility. One controversial recommendation called for Belle Park’s closure and to develop the sprawling property into a money-making solar farm and passive park. Council eventually pulled the plug on the solar idea, and later abandoned plans to seek a third party

golf course operator amid concerns that it could heighten the city’s environmental liability when it comes to managing what lies beneath. The debate appears to have come full circle as councillors voted 12-0 at their Feb. 4 meeting to set up a citizens working group. “It really helps and I think we’ll have some really important public input and hopefully the city management will take into account how we manage this public space,� said Coun. Hutchison. Menard added: “It’s a fabulous step. We are speaking on cooperative basis with city staff now.� Most agree the city has allowed Belle Park to deteriorate – and for golfers to leave in droves - by not making any significant investment in the property since 2007. Green fees that are 15 per cent to 59 per cent below other local golf courses that are privately owned have also limited revenue opportunities. But The Friends say they are committed to helping the city rejuvenate the golf course as an attractive, low cost, sustainable recreational alternative. “The golf course can certainly be run in a more effective and efficient way if we’re willing to put some more resources into it,� said Hutchison, who echoed the sentiments of others that the status quo cannot continue.

Fair Elections Act is anything but

Olympics obsessed Mandy Marciniak

Reporter

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Editorial - I have a confession‌I am addicted to the Olympics. Luckily, I don’t think I am alone, or at least I hope not. I’m sure there are many people who have been just as unproductive as I’ve been over the past week and a half, fighting the urge to call in ‘sick’ and sit in front of the TV all day watching the coverage. I’m not really sure what it is about the Olympics but they are contagious and so addicting. I remember watching the Olympics as a child, but never getting overly excited about them and not really understanding all of the hype. My mom and I watched figure skating together, but that was pretty much it. Then in 2010, with the Vancouver Olympics, I couldn’t stop watching. I was in my final year at university and the Olympics were on during reading week. I really should have been at the library catching up on reading, but instead I was glued to the couch watching. I remember just being mesmerized by the whole thing, and not just because Canada was hosting. Sports I

had never watched, like speed skating, luge, curling and moguls became fascinating. To be clear, this obsession is with the winter Olympics only. I have very little interest in the summer Olympics, which is odd because in practice I am far more likely to actually partake in summer sports than winter sports. Perhaps that is the Canadian in me coming out or perhaps the winter Olympics are just my way of dealing with the long, cold, winter blahs. This winter, as I am sure anyone in Canada will tell you, has been excruciating. I’m not a big fan of winter, but I can generally deal with it. I’ve never been prone to winter depression, but this winter has been a bit rough. Korey and I have both struggled to get through the winter (and still are) with a positive attitude. We live in a cottage that is not entirely winterized, which up until this winter hasn’t been a major problem. This year we’ve dealt with frozen pipes, almost running out of wood (our main source of heat) and treacherous driving conditions. It really is the worst winter I can remember and it just doesn’t want to end. Somehow, the Olympics make it better. The Olympics are exciting, everyone is happy and we as Canadians are happy to see our country succeed (and we are totally kicking

butt this year!) On top of all of this, I love seeing the athletes and hearing their stories. I love rooting for them and seeing the joy they have when they succeed and sometimes that doesn’t even include a medal. Some of the athletes are just happy to beat their own personal records and all of them are overjoyed to be at the Olympics in general. They really have worked their entire lives for these events and some of them have had to deal with physical injuries and personal struggles just to make it there. I love seeing athletes celebrate at the end of a race or a game by embracing their family members, who are radiant with pride. All of it actually makes me a bit teary, but in a good way. I also love seeing the international athletes and hearing about their journeys to the Olympics. In the opening ceremonies parade, some smaller countries only had a few athletes representing them. These countries don’t have the funding and resources that Canada has, yet they still work to make sure that they can be represented at the Olympics. It really is an amazing sight. Sadly, the Olympics can’t last forever and I am always sad to see them go, but at least when they are over this year we are that much closer to spring and that, for me, may actually be more exciting than the Olympics.

8 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, February 20, 2014

Gazette Editorial - On the eve of another election, the federal government in power has used its strong-stable majority to push through legislation that has the cumulative effect of disenfranchising thousands and suppressing Elections Canada campaigns to encourage voter turnout, all under the name of the “Fair Elections Actâ€?. First, the Act aims to curve the investigatory power of Elections Canada and transfer it to the director of public prosecutions, making the agency accountable not to Parliament, but to the sitting government. This would be a bit like if a lawyer being investigated for evidence tampering was able to somehow have the prosecutor selected from the ranks of his or her own law firm. Second, the bill raised political contribution limits, meaning we can expect more nasty attack ads, and robocalling – problems that ostensibly the Act was supposed to curb. Third, and perhaps most bizarre, Elections Canada would be forbidden from running campaigns encouraging people to vote. Since when is encouraging voter turnout considered a bad thing? Fourth, and what we find most troubling, is that there will no longer be any provisions, whatsoever allowing people without government issued photoidentification to cast a ballot. Make no mistake, many of these provisions will be constitutionally challenged, and the Act may eventually be stripped of many of its more egregious provisions, including the requirement that voters show government issued identification to cast a ballot. But it’s a tedious process, and elected officials should know better than to tie up the courts, wasting hundreds of thousands of tax dollars, all for some perceived short-term gains. Canadian voters shouldn’t have to go through the rigours of graduated motor-vehicle licensing, or the bureaucratic rigmarole of obtaining a Canadian passport simply to exercise their constitutional right. The new legislation constitutes little more than a poll tax that disenfranchises the voices of the most marginalized citizens. These are voices that desperately deserve to be heard. A recent decision by a Pennsylvania State justice supports the position, with the judge arguing that voter ID laws place an unreasonable burden on voters who do not currently have photo ID, and moreover that there have been less than a handful of instances where voter fraud, the thing the laws are designed to stop, has actually been documented. In Canada, there have been eight people charged with voter fraud throughout the country’s history. We believe that the bill is tragedy, and time will undoubtedly see it stripped down by constitutional challenges and legislative changes. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Canadians deserve an accountable government that respects our democracy.

Time for road work already? Princess Street’s ‘Big Dig’ moves to midtown in 2014 By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – In the dead of winter, Kingston is laying the groundwork for its biggest road construction project of the year. It’s one that will impact thousands of commuters on a daily basis. The city is preparing to rip up a busy section of midtown’s Princess Street, between Bath Road and MacDonnell Street, causing traffic delays and detours for about seven months. The reconstruction project will cost

$8.3 million. “We plan on starting in March and the contract documents say we have to be off Princess Street by mid-October,” said Dan Corcoran, president of Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd., the firm hired to do the work. Corcoran joined with city officials for a Feb. 12 town hall meeting at Princess Street United Church to explain the nature of the infrastructure improvements, and their impact on area homes and businesses. They say the short term pain will mean long term gain for Williamsville: new water lines, separating storm and

sanitary sewer pipes and expanding underground infrastructure to allow future development and intensification in the area. Sidewalks, boulevards and lighting will also be completely rebuilt as part of this project. The work was deemed so critical to Williamsville’s redevelopment the city decided to advance the construction by a few years to get it started in 2014. “Separating sewers is critical if we’re going to be in the 21st century, and that’s what this project is all about,” explained district councillor Jim Neill. Residents and business owners were briefed on the project timelines, traffic detours and plans to accommodate street parking during the work. “It’s easier because there’s less congestion of businesses,” explained Corcoran of the work that lies ahead. “But more of the businesses are accessed by vehicles, so maintaining vehicular access is the big challenge here.” Corcoran Excavating knows a thing or two about ripping up Princess Street from sidewalk to sidewalk for months at a time. The same firm handled both phases of the so-called ‘Big Dig’ of lower Princess Street in the downtown core. Just as it did then, the company plans to communicate with locals every step of the

way to try and minimize disruptions and keep businesses accessible to customers. “I was very relieved when Corcoran got the tender because they have the experience. They’ve done an excellent job on the Big Dig 1 and Big Dig 2. They always seem to come in on budget and on time,” added Coun. Neill. When about 800 metres of Princess Street are turned into the Princess ‘trench’, most traffic will be detoured onto MacDonnell and Concession Streets. “New traffic signals at the intersection of Concession and MacDonnell should help manage the traffic,” explained Mark Van Buren, the city’s director of engineering. A handful of residential side streets will also be dug up: Drayton Avenue (Princess to Concession), Albert Street (Princess to Mack), Tower Street (Princess to the north limit) and Frontenac Street (Jenkins to York). However, the residential work likely won’t be completed until sometime in 2015. Midtown’s Princess Street is a major route to and from the downtown. The planned road construction has been a sore point for many residents because of what’s going on the surface - dedicated cycling lanes will eventually replace dozens of onstreet parking spaces. Some residents continue to oppose the removal of

parking. “I don’t think they need bicycle lanes at all. They’re not needed. They’re throwing a business under the bus – Star Diner,” said John, a Williamsville resident who didn’t want his full name used. Bike lanes will be created on a 1.7 kilometre stretch from Bath Road to Division Street, although the line paintings won’t be done until after the underground work and surface repaving. The section of Princess Street, between MacDonnell and Division Street, is not slated for any construction as it is considered to be in better shape. “All of the work there will be around repainting that section to accommodate cycling lanes. That won’t be starting until 2015,” Van Buren explained. The upper section of Princess Street will see 20 to 40 construction crews on site Monday to Friday, and some Saturdays if needed, to complete the road rebuild on time. They plan to start at Princess and MacDonnell and work their way up to Bath Road in stages. The infrastructure work will benefit current and future developments, including a 500-bedroom apartment building at Princess and Victoria Streets that was the site of a massive fire in mid-December. The building construction has restarted and it’s slated to open in the spring of 2015.

LCVI junior chefs move on to final round of Loyalist competition mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – After an intense culinary battle, students in the cook’s internship focus program at LCVI have advanced to the final round of competition in the Loyalist College Junior Chef Competition. The competition is organized by the culinary management students at Loyalist College in Belleville each year, and each year LCVI arrives with a competitive team. Chef Doug James teaches and mentors the cook’s internship students and he is always excited to coach them through the Loyalist competition. The rules of the competition are pretty simple and students are given specific ingredients to work with. The rest is up to them. “In October, the management students at Loyalist give out an invitation to participate and with that they give us the ingredients,” explained James. “This year they have to use pancetta, leek and spinach in the appetizer and then in the entrée they have to use pork tenderloin. The dessert is up to them and gives them a chance to have some fun and get creative.” The first step of the competition was to divide into four person teams, come up with a menu, and then compete against each other for a spot in the first round of competition at Loyalist. “I had three groups that wanted to participate and they had to compete against each other,” added James. “The winning team then moved forward to another competition at Loyalist and the top three teams from that moved on to the finals. The final stage of the competition occurs on March 1 and we are really happy to be part of it again.” For team member Gamon Hironaka, the competition was a bit stressful, but he is confident that with some practice his team can improve and become even more competitive before the finals. “We really need to focus on tightening up our score,” he said. “One of the other teams scored 98 per cent and we were at 80 per cent, so we have

some work to do to improve.” The competition becomes even more stressful in the finals as students compete in a very Food Network-style event, complete with cameras in the kitchen and commentators. “The final stage is a bit more intense,” explained James. “They set it up like a live broadcast at the college in the cafeteria. The broadcast students at Loyalist set it all up and it gives them great practice too. It is pretty cool and the students always enjoy the experience.” The winning team members receive scholarships for the Culinary program at Loyalist and generally some pretty great prizes like knife sets and different kitchen accessories. LCVI has always done well in the competition and James hopes that this year won’t be any different. The team going to the finals is very creative, he noted, and although he has helped them along the way, the menu is entirely theirs. “I work with them, but I really don’t change their menus too much. I just give them feedback and work on their technique in the kitchen. We really focus on culinary skills in the classroom, so they are usually very strong in that area and then the menu comes after that. The base is really the basic skills. Now that we have gotten into the final competition we will play more with the flavors and really making sure the recipes are solid.” For team member Katie Ball, the competition is just about having fun, especially when it comes to dessert. “My favorite part is making the dessert and being creative making chocolate rings. It’s a little messy but a lot of fun. I think our menu is pretty great and I hope that leads to a win for us.”

Daytripper

Places to explore and things to experience

Mark Bergin

The blues is the source By Mark Bergin Columnist

Daytripper - Early blues artists didn’t set out to influence modern popular music. They sang from the heart with no thought of tomorrow. But, through a path that wound from places like New Orleans and Memphis to Chicago, California and New York, musicians like Son House, Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton and W. C. Handy changed the musical world. Muddy Waters fathered the gritty and more electric Chicago blues sound. Howlin’ Wolf (Chester Burnett) wrote and popularized such tunes as Smokestack Lightning, Back Door Man, Killing Floor and Spoonful, which became standards for rock bands like the Doors and Yardbirds. The newest generation of bluesinfluenced musicians includes the avant garde like Jack White and White Stripes. In the documentary It Might Get Loud, White, Jimmy Page and U2’s The Edge explore the history of rock guitar. It all goes back to blues

musicians. Jack White immediately credits the raw and dirty sounds of Son House as influential. The Rolling Stones, one of the hottest bands at the core of rock music for decades, acknowledge that the birth of their sound came directly from American blues artists. Women were equal to men in blues power. Memphis Minnie played blues guitar with prowess long before B.B. King or Eric Clapton. She also wrote songs like When the Levee Breaks (Led Zeppelin). Along the way, blues musicians wove a web into rock and folk music. Blues artists like Sonny Terry and Leadbelly (Huddie Ledbetter) played with folkies and activists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, who would spread the music across cultural boundaries. Blues artists like John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf and John Mayall brought the sound to the young masses in the 1960s. John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers band served as the training ground for many rock heroes: Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce, who would form Cream; Mick Fleetwood; Mick Taylor, who

joined the Stones; Walter Trout, who remains one of the finest blues guitarists in the world; Aynsley Dunbar, who went on to work with Frank Zappa, Eric Burdon, Lou Reed, Jeff Beck and David Bowie; and Andy Fraser, who joined the band Free. These folks all came out of a blues background. Why blues? What’s the appeal? Maybe it’s simply that it expresses hopes and pains that are universal. The world can be an oppressive place. The blues freed people from that oppression - not the political and social variety, but it did offer freedom of expression. Many of the blues artists, especially women, were also social activists through the 1960s. Early deejays heard what was known as “race music” and eventually brought it into the mainstream. The morph from blues to rock owes a debt to Sam Phillips, a record producer and deejay who founded Sun Studios in Memphis and discovered or helped launch such famed artists as Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. Phillips wasn’t concerned about race, and took a lot of heat for that. “When I heard Howlin’ Wolf, I said, ‘This is for me,’” Phillips is quoted. “This is where the soul of man never dies.” Not only did Phillips tear down racial music barriers, he was a strong advocate for racial equality across the nation. Others helped bridge the gap into a new genre. You can hear blues morphing through R & B and early rock songs in singer Mitty Collier’s songs. The Broadway musical Memphis,

The City of Kingston has a long history of involvement in blues music. The Limestone City Blues Festival brings in top name musicians to the annual event. Seen here is Walter Trout headlining the 2011 Festival. Trout is one of many current blues musicians who got his start playing with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Photo/Mark Bergin loosely based on the life of Memphis deejay Dewey Phillips (no relation to Sam Phillips) looked at the birth of rock music out of the early blues, soul and R & B singers. It also examined the excruciating pain of racism. Many stations didn’t want to play “race” (black) music. That extended to Elvis Presley because his music sounded like race music. In other words, long before he put on the layers of pounds and started singing sappy Vegas tunes, the guy had soul. Worse, he sounded sexy. And black. Dewey Phillips was the first deejay to air Elvis songs. Like Sam Phillips, Dewey advocated the elimination of any kind of racial barriers and discrimination. Whatever the reason, sung from deep within the soul, the blues caught on outside the Mississippi Delta, the cotton fields of the southern states and Memphis. Today, listening to Ma Rainey sing Deep Moaning Blues (1928) or Bessie Smith’s Young Woman Blues, you still feel the depth. A song, like a photograph, is worth a thousand words. You can pull up hundreds of songs since the birth of rock music in the 1950s and find its blues DNA. For example, in rock music, Cream’s popular Sunshine of Your Love and Led Zeppelin’s Heartbreaker each use the identical blues scale with the notes played in slightly different order. I got attached to the blues early. Born in Canada, my family moved to the U.S. before I started school (I still have my little green card). My dad was completing one, then another grad degree. I didn’t know we didn’t have money. I didn’t know that the area we lived in was called a ghetto or a slum. To me, life was exciting. It was natural to hang out with kids of every racial background. By the time I was six or seven years old, my dad (who played drums and loved blues, jazz and ragtime) would take me to local music clubs and bars. They wouldn’t let kids in most of these places, but in the warmer months the doors and large windows would be

wide open, so we stood outside some place where we could see the stage, even if it meant my dad had to hold me up so I could watch the musicians. The blues etched into my soul. I can still feel Lewie Steinberg’s bass rumbling my gut. A brilliant blues bassist, his most memorable bass line is probably a simple three note riff in Booker T. and the MG’s song Green Onions. And now, many years later, I get the same kick out of listening to jazz bassist Ron Carter or guitarist Christian McBride at The Blue Note in New York City. And, in Simba’s great big circle of life, I’ve taken my own kids to hear current jazz and blues musicians on the scene, people like Ron Carter and Ada Rovatti. While still a young teen, I got to see such blues greats as Booker T. Jones and the late T-Bone Walker, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. As finances picked up in the family, we went to some seriously hardcore concerts like the Count Basie Orchestra. Years ago, this little city of Kingston was a hotbed of the blues. It still has one of the best blues festivals around, sticking to an actual blues format, unlike many other festivals that are blues in name only. Ahem, Ottawa. Writer rolls his eyes. Recently, a local discovery of historic proportions perked my interest. Tapes of some of the greatest blues musicians ever recorded were discovered in Kingston from reel-to-reels made in the 1970s. Not just any blues musicians, but the likes of John Lee Hooker and John Mayall playing in a local club. These recordings have never been heard before. Next week, more about the Kingston connection to the blues scene and how you can score a CD set of these historic recordings, along with an event, hosted by Dan Aykroyd, with some of the original musicians coming back to Kingston. It will be one of the cultural pinnacles of the coming year. Mark Bergin markaidanbergin.

Heritage Entertainment - It’s an event film lovers across the region look forward to each year and this year the Kingston Canadian Film Festival (KCFF) has the potential to be bigger than ever, featuring a number of famous Hollywood names such as Reese Witherspoon, Colin Firth, Richard Dreyfuss and Jason Priestly. Of course, festival general manager Marc Garniss notes that there is no guarantee these stars will make their way to the Limestone City for the KCFF, but it’s always a possibility. “We always send the invite out to anybody we think might have some drawing power for the festival,” he says. “A lot of times they’re busy doing other films, so it sometimes has a lot to do with their schedIan Malcom as Superintendent (middle), Daniel Robinson as hospital staff member, Kevin ule and sometimes they won’t know until Kennealy (right) and Peter Aston as Rudy Braun (left) in Dancock’s Dance. the week of.”

Last year, celebrated Hollywood composer Mychael Danna dropped by the festival less than a week after his Best Original Score Oscar win for The Life of Pi. “If we were the Cannes Festival or TIFF we might be able to get a confirmation a little further in advance, but because we are still a smaller, mid-level sized festival, bigger guests might wait until the last minute to confirm,” Garniss explains. “We also have a lot our emerging filmmakers who attend every year as well so I think we already have confirmations from about 15 different guests.” The 2014 KCFF will feature a total of 22 films; some of the highlights include Jason Priestly’s film Cas & Dylan, starring Richard Dreyfuss and Tatiana Maslany; Atom Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot, starring Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon, and Louise Archambault’s French language film Gabrielle, which was Canada’s submission to the Continued on page 22

Dancock’s Dance brings a more serious tone to The Domino By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – It may not be the light-hearted, fun play that Domino supporters have come to expect, but Dancock’s Dance is certainly a play that will keep you on the edge of you seat. “It’s a sadder play and it’s a story that you can really get into,” explained director Penny Nash, “It’s really gritty and full of emotion. It is not a typical play for Domino, but I think it is an important piece. The tone is a bit different.” The play follows Lieutenant John Dancock after the first world war. He was responsible for training a number of men and prepared them to go over the top of the trench and into battle, but something happens on the day that they went over. “I’m not going to tell what happens because I want people to come and see the play to find out,” added Nash. “What happened wounded him and broke him mentally. He comes back and deals with posttraumatic stress and ends up in a mental hospital. The play takes place in 1918. The techniques that were used in mental hospitals then are nothing like the techniques today and Dancock is not happy to be there, to say the least. Dancock is anti-authority and anti-establishment, explained

C

hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

Blinds Blinds are considered a hard window treatment and help create a clean and uncluttered look on any type or size of window or door. Blinds can be made from metal, bamboo, plastic, wood or fabric and are extremely easy to clean with a damp cloth or mild cleaner. Vertical blinds can add drama, strong lines and enhance the height of a room so they are particularly effective in rooms with lower ceilings. They allow for good air circulation and protection from UV rays (particularly useful in west and

south-facing windows). Horizontal blinds made from wood or faux-wood are more expensive than metal or plastic but are quite popular and versatile. They can be used to create a modern and contemporary look or traditional and rustic depending on your home décor and style. For small or average openings, use a ½ to 1 inch slat or 2 inch or bigger size for larger windows and a bolder look. Shades Shades are considered a soft window treatment that can range from elegant and formal to casual and simple. They can be layered with panels or curtains for a dramatic effect, adding dimension to any space or hung on their own for a clean and sophisticated look. Cellular, honeycomb and pleated shades are normally made from fabric and add warmth and comfort to any window and room. These shades are available both in vertical or horizontal styles, can be made with room darkening or lightening features and do require some additional care when cleaning. Roller or roman shades offer

simple, no frills window coverage that give any room a homey and casual feel. Perfect for the cottage or any other room where light control is flexible. Drapes/Curtains/Sheers Curtains have been around for a while and can instantly add elegance and visual interest to any window. Curtains, drapes and sheers are available in many colours, fabrics and pattern designs and suit any budget. Curtains can cover the entire window or blend panels and sheers for a layered look. Draperies can be hung from floor to ceiling adding ‘perceived’ height to any room and can contain insulation or room darkening qualities for added energy savings and reduction in drafts. Add a metal or wood decorative rod for visual drama and to help improve the look of any curtain!

Ferry not in service, bad weather delays, no driving on the ice By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news- It has been quite a winter for Frontenac Islanders living on Howe and Wolfe Islands especially during the recent severe weather and it is not over yet. The weather actually led to a complete shut down of the MTO owned, Frontenac County operated Howe Island ferry for nearly a week due to high winds and specifically to ice broken off the east side of the narrow channel that is kept open by a bubble system that presently is in need of certain repairs. Fortunately the township’s foot ferry continued to operate during those days The Wolfe Islander while not shut down, has also experienced slow downs due to heavy winds, high waves and thick ice in the channel . The bubble system has been a problem for Wolfe Island as well and had the ferry route been shut down, there is no alternate route. If the ferry was damaged and out of service there is no second ferry. Resilient Islanders who in days gone by would have ventured across the ice by car or horse and buggy are forbidden to do so. Ice boats ? Concern of course always remains with the weather and the “what to do” in the event of a medical emergency if the ferry or the route are out of service… The bubble system was installed to keep the Kingston dock, the Howe Island dock and WI’s (winter) docking at Dawson Point and a channel from Kingston free of ice all the way to it, if required). However the Wolfe Islander continues to operate from Marysville to Kingston. In a communiqué issued to Howe Islanders about the initiatives the Township has undertaken to help remedy the situation in the first instance on Howe Island , it was noted that Mayor Denis Doyle, Deputy Mayor Jones, Frontenac County’s Paul Charbonneau (Transportation Services), MTO’s Stuart Jones had spent a considerable amount of time deliberating the service delivery challenges pertaining to the Howe Island County Ferry, and the bubbler system maintained by MTO. They also met with MPP John Gerretsen.

The communiqué also assures the County and Township that an annual inspection and load testing of the compressors is completed each year by MTO with the bubbler system working well when started December 18th but after that point was unable to manage with the excessive cold and westerly winds. Not much can be done about that at this point but MTO continues to monitor the bubble system’s performance for the remainder of this winter and going forward, with required repairs and widening of the bubbler operation done for Howe Island well before next winter. However the addition of an extra drive on the Howe Island County ferry to lower wind effect is not possible due to dockage constraints limiting the width of the vessel. Regarding the Wolfe Island service, where the WOLFE islander III continues to operate from Marysville rather than the winter dock at Dawson Point, MTO feels that with the higher powered engines on the ferry that the bubbler across the channel to the usual winter dock at Dawson Point is no longer required, but should be maintained around its docks where pipes were replaced and the system is working well. At this time there is no channel to Dawson Point. MTO however has excavator equipment available to remove ice build up at the Marysville and Kingston docks as needed. Two resolutions were passed at Frontenac Islands February Council meeting in advance of a meeting arranged to take place with Minister of Transportation Glenn Murray, Mayor Doyle and Deputy Mayor Jones on Sunday Feb. 23rd in Toronto to discuss ferry services, operation and capacity, (not for the first time.) “While the Wolfe ferry has had some delays this winter we will not have much time with Minister Murray so we will focus on the two resolutions passed at the recent council meeting,” Mayor Doyle said. “One to deal with improving the Howe bubbler system and the reliability of the ferry service there now and in the future; the other lobbying for a second ferry for Wolfe Island, at least for the summer months. We hope MTO will be able to find a used ferry until they get the

go ahead on a long term Wolfe Island solution,” he said. The Howe Island resolution also requests that “MTO review the design and mechanics of the County Ferry service with the prospect of enhancements to decrease the effect of severe weather conditions on its year round operation in the future.” The Wolfe Island resolution notes the public was advised nearly three years ago that the MTO study completed in 2011 recommended a second 85 car ferry running from Dawson Point to Kingston and requests that until a permanent solution is decided upon, and implemented that MTO provide a sec-

ond ferry (preferably by spring 2014) running on the proposed Dawson Point route. It points out that traffic on Wolfe Island has increased due to the 86 tower wind farm; cycling; Big Sandy Bay; Metal Craft Marine Boat Company; and the international link between Kingston and New York State, etc., resulting in a several hours delay in getting on the ferry. * Interesting to note that at a meeting with Minister Murray in August 2013 he directed (his) staff to look into a bridge option to provide a more permanent and cost effective solution.

Love was in the air (and in the windows) in downtown Kingston this Valentine’s Day By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - This Valentine’s Day, the Downtown Action and Revitalization Network (DARN) decided to spread a little love around downtown Kingston. With the help of the Downtown Kingston Business Improvement Area (DBIA) and Print 3, the group printed 200 posters featuring eight different statements about what community members love about Kingston’s downtown. These include “I love being where the action is”; “I love looking

up at the lovely old buildings”; “I love friendly chats with local merchants”; “I love getting what I need without driving” and more, as well as a fill-inthe-blank style poster that encourages passersby to share their own thoughts. Poster campaign coordinator Marney McDiarmid explains that the statements came directly from local Kingstonians who were asked what they love about the downtown. “About three or four years ago we did a survey of local residents and one of the questions asked was what do people really like about their downtown. We collected I think about 350 responses, so we went through them all

and from those we pulled a bunch of quotes that we thought really encapsulated what the majority of the people were talking about.” On Feb. 13, DARN volunteers went door to door and asked each local merchant if they would like to put a poster up in their business’s window for Valentine’s Day; members hope people will choose to leave the posters up for several weeks in order to continue spreading the message. McDiarmid says that the idea was inspired by a similar Valentine’s Day event DARN held at the old Empire Theatre in 2012. In an effort to prevent the theatre from moving to the sub-

urbs (as it eventually did), dozens of families gathered out front on Feb. 14 and posted paper hearts on the doors, demonstrating the love that the people of Kingston had for the downtown cinema. “Then [later] I was in Victoria and I saw a poster that was a quote about how people love the downtown and I thought, ‘what a great idea,’” she continues. “It’s a feel-good message and it corresponds to the whole idea of Valentine’s Day. We thought this would be a nice way to really express all of the different ways that people in Kingston really love their downtown.” And the idea has already garnered quite a response. In a related exercise, Queen’s geography professor Laura Cameron has been encouraging her students to write love letters to downtown businesses, which DARN has been publishing on their website. The posters and letters are also being promoted on the organization’s

Facebook page and through the Twitter hashtag #ygklove, and McDiarmid expects that the campaign will only continue to gain momentum over the coming days. In the end, she hopes that the initiative will inspire community members to take some time to mindfully appreciate what an amazing place downtown Kingston is. “I hope that it gets people to pause and really think about what makes this downtown an incredibly special place,” she says. “And I hope that in thinking about it they then realize that they need to support it to make sure that it stays as amazing as it is and maybe even thrive even more.” DARN is an independent group of concerned and interested citizens that promotes and advocates for a livable downtown.

Queen’s gears up for 17th annual Vogue Charity Fashion Show By Hiba Kesebi Reporter

Heritage Events - The Vogue Charity Fashion Show will fuse fashion, dance, and art in support of Community Living Kingston. The event, slated for March 13 - 15, is produced and executed by a group of Queen’s University students and will bring together more than 150 students who will act as models, dancers, artists, designers and backstage workers. “You will be insanely surprised at how talented all these Queen’s students are – they are studying biology, engineering, and philosophy and are world class dancers,” explains Tova Latowsky, the head of marketing for the show. The group has been busy planning the event since their last show, in March 2013. Latowsky, a fourth-year drama major at Queen’s University, says the event is completely student run from the dancers to designers, models, choreographers, photographers, videographers, graphic designers and technical crew. “It’s really inspiring,” she says. Though this is Latowsky’s first year on the show, she has attended the event ever since entering university. At the end of each show,

she would be left in awe from the “spectacular” performances. “It’s just such a well-organized event,” she adds. The fashion show was established in 1997 and attracts more 2,000 people annually. Latowsky says this year’s event, which will take place at the Grand Theatre, will incorporate live music – something that

has not been done in the past. “We usually have at least one sold out show a year but this year we are hoping to have three,” she adds. The group aims to raise $25,000 for Community Living Kingston, which advocates with and on behalf of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Latowsky ex-

plains the money “will help provide daily programs and services to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities are able to participate fully in their communities, and in the Kingston community at large.” The show supports a different charity each year. Last year, the event raised $44,000 for the

Sunshine Foundation of Canada, Kingston Chapter. “It’s going to be an amazing show, in support of a great cause,” says Latowsky of this year’s event. For more information about the fashion show or to learn more about the talents visit: http:// www.vcfsqueens.com/.

Lifestyle – When I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held, without their being asked, she said it was very simple. Central just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch. Well, that all made perfect sense to me. That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha’s and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the twentyacre field, so that meant the place would be fair jumping! With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip roarin’ night. I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another night of magic. The magic I was talking about was a secret between my sister and me. “It could be,” she said with a grin. As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-to-Sunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flat-bottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cut-

bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question. “How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?” Audrey would say the same words she said every time I asked. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary…just Renfrew County magic.” It would be many years before I would know that it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket af-

rest a bit as Joyce would say. There were so many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place. Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in my own bed, in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across the twenty-acre field. How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs

ters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots, and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex had one of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area, so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing. I knew without asking that out in the summer kitchen, eleven quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing. I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove… everything was ready for a great night of fun. Aunt Bertha would have opened the parlour, and people spread out wherever they could find a place to sit or stand. The very youngest of the children, and that included me, would soon tire of watching the adults at their card games, and we would head upstairs to play Jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders. The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field. But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy feather ‘tickings’, puffy and inviting. Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!” It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to

Days On Front – A Beacon in the West End By Kate Kristiansen Columnist

Up in My Grill - The ‘third place’ is typically a community location outside of home and work, where individuals congregate to socialize and feel connected. Days On Front is the west end’s third place. Located at 730 Front Road, in Kingston it’s a welcoming beacon for locals to hunker down. Over the past year, I’ve visited with hubby and friends on occasion in groups of two, three and six to enjoy the company. Upon opening there were several reviews of Days on Front, most highlighting owner Matt Day’s pedigree as the son of Clark Day, one of Kingston’s supreme foodies. Not a bad shadow to have, although for some time Matt Day has proven to be formidable in his own right. On my most recent visit I dropped in to dine with two friends on a Thursday evening. The three of us were tucked into a nook by the entrance, next to the shelves lined with wine, a great backdrop to a delicious meal. I had the chicken served with apricot cilantro basmati rice, coconut curry sauce, green beans and cashews. The aroma of coconut and cilantro teased me before I had

even taken the first bite -I love Thai infused dishes. Another had the house special, a fresh local steak cooked to his choosing. The most stunning dish was my vegetarian friend’s, crispy polenta with vegetable ratatouille, tomato sauce, goat feta, olives and olive oil. It stood with perfection and the colors were fabulous. I had food envy. If you want a downtown dining experience on the west end, this is a great place to enjoy just that. Days On Front is highly accessible with ample parking and a great proximity for those living in this area. Every suburb needs a local watering hole. The contemporary dining room has a snug to one side featuring a bar offering up a wide range of choice. My friend Mark Bergin (fellow Heritage and Gazette columnist) assures me, “no one can make a better Manhattan than owner, Matt Day.” I’m referring to the drink famously named after its New York island borough, a cocktail of whisky (or bourbon), vermouth and bitters served with a stemmed cherry. After one of those, it’s a good thing if you live nearby. The atmosphere tends to be random depending on where you sit, but the food is the real surprise. It’s not often that taste food this

good from a strip mall restaurant. Chef Jason Legere is dedicated to dazzling guests with what he calls his “global-local” style of cooking. He is red seal trained with experience in some of Kingston’s best restaurants including, Le Caveau (where incidentally I had my first ‘flight of four’ wine tasting), Le Chein Noir and Aqua Terra. Jay also trained under local chef Jack Francis (chef of Clark’s by the Bay and Clark’s on King). Best known for its uncomplicated and intense flavors, his food is consistently delicious and sourced from local farmers and suppliers wherever possible. Their website, www.daysonfront. ca, suggests that they search out interesting and intriguing seasonal ingredients to enhance your dining pleasure. If you want a downtown dining experience on the west end, this is the place to enjoy just that. At any given time both new friends and old can be found there, a great third place. I suggest you call ahead to make reservations 613-766-9000 as the locals can be found any night of the week filling tables. If you have a food biz or a restaurant for me to try email me at ladydinesalot@gmail.com or follow my blog Ladydinesalot.com. Days on Front is a great spot for fine dining in the west end.

Tiny Hoppers expands west and opens new location in Kingston mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – There’s a new kid in town, or at least a new place for your kid in town. Tiny Hoppers is happy to be celebrating the launch of

their new Kingston West location and in an effort to get more Kingstonians interested and aware of their centre, they are holding an open house celebration. “We officially opened on Jan. 6 and now we are excited to be tell-

ing the community that we are here,” explained location Director, Julie Tuskovich-Sauve. “We want people to come in and see what we are all about. We are currently offering free play classes too. They give people a chance to come in and check out the facility and get to know Tiny Hoppers and have some fun with their little ones too.” Tiny Hoppers, Kingston is the first venture that the brand has taken outside of Ottawa since opening in 2005. While they have seen great success in Ottawa, the company felt like there was need for their facilities across the rest of Canada and it was time to expand. “We’ve opened a new location in Ottawa every year since 2005 and now there are eight locations out here,” explained Regional Director of Operations, Carrie-Anne Blaine. “Kingston is our first venture west and now we have nine other locations in the works. We are expanding really quickly, but it is really exciting.” Much of Tiny Hoppers’ success can be attributed to their unique approach to early childhood education. Each facility is run on the same set curriculum and each centre looks almost identical. “The curriculum is the same in each facility and it just ensures that our teachers are teaching the proper skills on a daily basis,” added Blaine. “A lot of times with daycares, the teachers

are in charge of developing the curriculum so a lot of the developmental skills that we want to work on daily are missed. Our structured curriculum prevents that from happening. We go step by step through the curriculum, level by level and the teachers stick to it to make sure that we are consistently reinforcing the skills that we think are most important.” Tiny Hoppers is also filled with vibrant colours and high quality equipment and any parent stepping in there for the first time can’t help but be enamored with the atmosphere. “As soon as people walk into Tiny Hoppers, it really sells itself,” explained Blaine, who also added that an open house is a perfect way to bring about this sense of excitement. “We really want to get people in the door so they can see what we have to offer. The environment is really fun and coming in also allows parents to meet our teachers. We go through an intense screening process when we hire and we really look for the best of

the best. We really encourage people to shop around when they are looking for a new daycare for their child because it is a really important decision, but most times when parents come in they end up coming back.” The new location in Kingston currently has about a dozen kids enrolled and their maximum capacity is 76. Tuskovich-Sauve is confident that they will be filled to capacity in no time and has already hosted a number of tours for parents since opening just over a month ago. “There is, unfortunately, a lack of good quality day care facilities out there so we are really hoping to provide that for parents,” added Tuskovich-Sauve. “Hopefully the open house will attract some new clients and really show Kingston what we have to offer.” Tiny Hoppers is located at 375 Select Drive and their open house will be held on Saturday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For more information visit www.tinyhoppers.ca.

2014 Oscars. The movies will be shown at three different venues: The Screening Room, The Baby Grand Theatre, and City Hall’s Memorial Hall, which is a new venue for the KCFF. Garniss says that the goal was to find a third location that was closer to the other venues than the Time to Laugh Comedy Club, which was used last year. “Hopefully the festival will feel like it’s a little more unified as far as location goes because last year with using Time to Laugh, it did feel a little bit spread out. I don’t know if that’s just a Kingston mentality of geography - like a short walk up Princess Street is a long walk. But I think it’ll have a bit more of a community feel. As always, the festival will feature a number of workshops, which will mostly be held at The Grand Theatre’s Davies Lounge. This year, many will be aimed at young people, including a couple of animation workshops for youth and one about making a rap video for children aged five to 10. Garniss says that he hopes the festival will provide a nice winter pick-me-up for locals and tourists alike, as well as expose them to some great films they wouldn’t have the opportunity to see otherwise. “Over the four days of the festival we cram in as many of the small films that probably wouldn’t come to Kingston otherwise as possible. Certainly for me there are a lot of films that I never even would have heard

Most people living in Canada look forward to the March break when they can get away for a few days and hit the beach. Many of these Canadians also make it a habit to visit tanning salons to get a base tan before their beach vacation begins.

That’s because some people feel getting a base tan protects them from sunburn while they’re away enjoying the sun!

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, there is more to you than meets the eye. You enjoy letting others get small glimpses of your true self, but this week they will get a lot of information all at once. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Feeling restless, Taurus? Spend some time with a hobby that you enjoy, whether that is cooking in the kitchen or building something out in the garage. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Others may have trouble reading you this week, Gemini. That’s because you are putting forth a few different faces. It is better for all involved if you remain consistent. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, now is the time to introduce your family to a special friend of yours. This person will be received graciously, so there is no need to fret about the meeting. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, when you want to get something done, it is probably best if you do it yourself this week. This way you can bring your own unique approach to the task at hand. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Cash seems to be flowing out of your pockets this week, Virgo. You may want to sit down and make some adjustments to your spending habits so you can get your finances in order. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, your patience is wearing thin, but you need to keep your cool or you could end up in a sticky situation at work. Ride things out until the weekend arrives. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – It isn’t in your makeup to be meek, Scorpio. If something needs to be discussed, speak up and let others know your perspective on the situation. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, a lucky streak has you excited to test your good fortune. Ride this wave, but do not go through all of your money in one fell swoop. That can spell trouble. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, you have been doing a lot of waiting around, but now your patience is bound to pay off. You just need to wait a little while longer to bear the fruits of your labors. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, a big adventure is on the horizon. The trouble is, you do not know what to expect and what to bring along for the ride. Things will come into focus soon. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – You need to take a rest, Pisces. Otherwise, you will burn out very quickly. Friends are urging you to slow down this week.

Staff and students at the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area get into the Pink Shirt Day spirit

R0012550268

TICO#50007364

Heritage news - Every seven seconds, a child in a Canadian school is bullied, according to statistics provided by the Boys and Girls Club. One in ten children are bullied regularly, and 42 per cent are victims of online bullying. These are not statistics that The Boys and Girls Club take lightly, and in order to do its part to raise awareness of the problem of bullying in our society, the organization will hold its third annual Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 26. Tony Gargaro, operations manager of The Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area, says that each year the local club’s participation in Pink Shirt Day has grown, and this year the awareness campaign will be bigger than ever thanks to new partnerships with the St. Lawrence College Student Association and the St. Lawrence College child and youth worker students. “We’ve had the help of their students and our program staff delivering a message to all the kids that come through our program all month long, and the Kingston Police have really jumped on board this year too,” Gargaro explains. “They started way back in November doing a cyber bullying course to all schools.” The St. Lawrence College students have also organized a pre-Pink Shirt Day event for Friday, Feb. 21 at the Kingston Frontenacs’ home game, leading up to the national event the following Wednesday. “They have different dance studios that will choreograph a simple dance routine to get the crowd involved,” Gargaro says. “[The St. Lawrence College partners] have their own sections already sold out with students and they’ll all have pink shirts on, and they have a photo booth so you can dress up in pink garb, take your photo and

give a donation. That’s going to take it to the next level and really drive this awareness home.” The idea behind Pink Shirt Day was born in 2007, when two high school students from Nova Scotia, David Shepard and Travis Price, witnessed a younger Grade 9 student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. The two boys organized a sympathy protest at the school, and the next day they were overwhelmed to find the hallways a sea of pink, as many other students were eager to support the cause. Since then, the event has grown in volumes; last year, over 160,000 people committed to wearing a pink shirt through Facebook. Gargaro notes that the issue of bullying is much more at the forefront today that it was in previous decades. “I think it was thought that it didn’t really affect kids in the way it does,” he says, adding that certain aspects of today’s culture, such as social media, make it easier than ever for children to be bullied. “It’s a little more subtle today – it’s not just the playground beatings like it used to be. But it’s just as hurtful and just as damaging to a young mind.” The worst case scenario, Gargaro says, is to lose a child to suicide – something that has been an unfortunate reality in recent years in several Canadian cities. “[Pink Shirt Day is saying let’s take a good look at it and see if we can make a difference and stop kids from killing themselves. It’s happened in different cities and we wouldn’t want it to happen here so that’s why we’re trying to do this and be a little preemptive.” The key message Gargaro hopes youth take away from Pink Shirt Day: stand up and don’t be silent on this issue. “If it’s happening to them or if they see it happening, speak up and end it. Approach an adult. Don’t feel embarrassed about it. They want to hear this

cost of an insurance policy. Buyers also must consider how much a vehicle will cost to fuel up before making a final decision. Many a driver has grinned when driving a brand new SUV off a dealership lot, only to frown on that first trip to the filling station. Insurance companies typically provide free estimates to prospective customers, so do your homework on the different makes and models you’re considering, getting an insurance quote for each vehicle. In addition, consider the expected fuel costs of each vehicle before making a decision. * Reputation: Thanks to the Internet, today’s vehicle buyers have a valuable tool at their disposal that those of yesteryear rarely had: their fellow drivers.

go online to see what fellow drivers and professional reviewers have to say about a given vehicle. Sites like Edmunds.com and Safecar.gov offer professional assessments of various makes and models, while various message boards exist to allow drivers to review the performance of their vehicles. Such resources are invaluable and can paint a realistic picture of what it might be like to own and drive a particular automobile. * Resale value: While selling a car you don’t even own yet is probably not foremost on your mind, it is important to consider a car’s potential resale value before buying it. The high costs of new vehicles has pushed many buyers out of the new car market, making preowned vehicles a more affordable and attractive option. So

considering a car’s potential resale value before buying it new is a smart move that can pay dividends down the road when you’re back on the market for a new vehicle. Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) is a valuable resource to gauge the resale value of vehicles, and buyers can even calculate the resale value of a car over its first five years. This can help consumers determine which options to get on their new cars and even help to govern their driving habits in an effort to keep the vehicle’s resale value as high as possible. When buying a new vehicle, it can be tempting to buy the most visually stunning or gadget-heavy vehicle on the dealership lot. But buyers should consider more than just appearance and accessories before buying their next new car.

people have long believed that a nearly full tank of gas means the fuel within that tank is less likely to evaporate, and that tanks that half-full tanks are losing gas to evaporation. Though this might have been the case years ago, today’s vehicle’s are

smarter than ever before, and their fuel systems are designed with vapor recovery systems so drivers traveling around with tanks that are closer to empty than full aren’t losing gas to evaporation. * Manual transmissions are more

How to cut costs on your home improvement project

R0012562226

Sean Dennee

but homeowners can cut these costs by but it’s not unlikely that patient homeowners necessary, they’re best avoided by budget doing some of the labor themselves. Even willing to wait until the offseason to renovate conscious homeowners. Building supplies those men and women with little or no DIY their homes can save as much as 5 percent are sold at certain dimensions because those experience can still chip in and save some on the overall cost of the project. dimensions are the most common. Altering money. Homeowners about to embark on a * Try not to customize. Though the driving these dimensions unnecessarily is only rebuilding project can chip in and do some force behind many home improvement driving up the cost of the project, so it’s of the demolition on their own. For example, projects is to create a dream home that caters best to stick with stock sizes when money when replacing sidewalks, homeowners can to homeowners’ individual needs, going is tight. simply break up and remove the existing overboard with customizing is expensive. Home improvement projects are often sidewalk on their own rather than paying Larger-than-normal dimensions may seem expensive undertakings. But such endeavors their contractors to do such work for them. like a great idea, but unless they’re absolutely need not break the bank. It’s best for homeowners to leave interior labor to the professionals, as they are more knowledgeable about how to find loadbearing walls and plumbing fixtures than the average weekend warrior homeowner. Homeowners who mistakenly take out fixtures inside their homes in an attempt to cut down on labor costs might find such miscues are far more costly than simply paying for the labor from the get-go. * Remember how flattering imitation can be. As the old adage goes, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Homeowners working on tight budgets can opt for imitation materials that appear and feel just like more costly authentic materials. When opting for imitation materials, homeowners should know that they or their representatives cannot falsely represent the materials as authentic when selling the home, no matter how much materials look and feel like the real thing. * Schedule projects during the offseason. Like many professionals, contractors have busy seasons and seasons that tend to be slow. These seasons can change depending on geography, but homeowners can save money by postponing projects until the slow season, when contractors are more likely to offer discounts in an attempt to stay busy and continue to generate income. Savings Homeowners willing and able to chip in on home improvement projects can bring the will vary depending on a variety of factors, costs of labor down considerably.

R0012558268

Over the last several decades, more and more homeowners have embraced the notion that homes need not all be alike, and that an individual’s home can cater to his or her personal tastes and needs. The trend of modeling a home after one’s own tastes has extended beyond choosing furniture or other replaceable elements to structural changes and full-scale renovations, thus upping the financial ante for homeowners who want to turn their homes into places more in tune with their own personalities. When it comes to improving their homes, many homeowners associate cutting costs with cutting corners, which can put residents’ safety at risk. But there are ways for homeowners to save money on home improvement projects while still ensuring their homes are safe and sound. * Work with recycled materials. Homeowners about to undertake smallscale do-it-yourself projects can often save money by using recycled materials. Many homeowners do not go the DIY route when making larger renovations, but those that do also can save money by using recycled materials. However, homeowners should know that many contractors do not work with recycled materials in an effort to avoid liability should something go awry during the project or after it is completed. But DIYers can benefit from using recycled materials, which can be purchased at various locations. For example, Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization devoted to building homes for the less fortunate, operates its own ReStores, which are nonprofit home improvement stores that sell recycled building materials at a steep discount. ReStore locations can be found by visiting www.habitat.org. * Get your hands dirty. Labor costs on home improvement projects are considerable,
