Labour Peace: City Hall and its biggest union reach “fair” 3-year contract

Inside sports

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Athlete of the week Pg. 17

Daytripper

Kingston Heritage – A new contract is in place covering hundreds of front-line municipal employees in the City of Kingston. “We think it’s a fair deal for both sides,” said Adam Bol, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) local 109. CUPE members approved the three year contract at a ratification meeting just days before city councillors met behind closed doors to approve the deal on Feb. 18. The contract, which expires Dec. 31, 2016, covers more than 900 civic workers including garbage collectors, bus drivers, snow plow drivers, bylaw enforcement, Rideaucrest support staff, social workers and administration. They will get a wage increase of 1.7 per cent in each of the next three years. “We really value the work we do for the city. It’s really important to us. With a winter like this we really recognize that. Yeah, I think it’s a deal both sides can live with,” added Bol, a construction inspector with the city’s engineering department. City Hall and its biggest union were headed for conciliation over a handful of unresolved issues when the collective agreement was reached earlier this month. “We filed (for conciliation) and in between we managed to come to another (negotiation) date. We had a long day and we managed to come to an agreement we felt our side could live with,” Bol told reporters. Patricia Burns, one of the city’s lead negotiators, says the 1.7 per cent pay raise in each year is in line with what Summer Campbell, 2, explores a quinzhee. Quinzhees are [traditionally used] as survival shel- other Ontario municipalities are paying their workers. “I

Districts vs. At-Large elections? Council urged to pop the question to voters By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Some familiar faces returned to Kingston City Hall to push the need for governance reforms. A delegation – led by former Kingston Mayors Gary Bennett, Ken Matthews and former Pittsburgh Township Reeve Carl Holmberg – says it’s time to pop the question to voters. They want council to place a referendum on the 2014 election bal-

lot asking whether Kingston should scrap the district system in favour of at-large elections. “I think it’s really a unique opportunity for the citizens of Kingston to have a say,” said Bennett, who holds the distinction of being the last mayor of the old city and first mayor of the new one from 1994 to 2000. He says both voting systems have strengths and weaknesses. “The real issue is to give citizens an opportunity to put the issue to rest.” The group gathered at the Feb. 18

council meeting as a 550-name petition – signed by about 20 former politicians - was presented in support of a referendum. Holmberg, who was also the new city’s first deputy mayor from 1998 to 2000, says at-large elections allow for a better balance of representation and forces councillors to put citywide interests ahead of individual district concerns. “The city is made up of too many silos and those silos are comprised of councillors who don’t have the best interests of the

entire city.” He believes the number of signatures on the petition will force council to deal with the referendum issue. But there’s not much time to debate the question of asking a question. The city has until the end of April to decide on a referendum in order for it to be on the ballot in the October civic elections. In 2009, the same group of onetime political adversaries lobbied City Hall to scrap the 12 districts

Pole position: City denies two requests to hoist flags for more than one day By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage - Councillors are raising red flags when it comes to recent requests for hoisting flags on municipal property. They are curtailing the length of time sought by two groups to raise their flags to celebrate separate events this year. The Kingston Power and Sail Squadron (CPS) wanted permission to raise its pennant from May 17 to May 23 in Confederation Park and at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. The one-week request coincides with Safe Boating Week. Kingston PRIDE also sought approval to raise its flag in Confederation Park for an entire month, from May 30 to June 30. In both cases, councillors decided to limit the flag raising approval to one-day per group. The CPS flag will go up on May 17 only. The PRIDE flag is scheduled to be raised on June 15, which coincides with the 25th anniversary weekend of Kingston’s annual Pride parade. “They’d certainly like a longer period,” said Coun. Sandy Berg, who spoke with the Pride group in advance of council’s Feb. 18 decision. Mayor Mark Gerretsen says the timing restrictions are linked to space limitations. “We only have three poles here,” he said of Confederation Park, noting the poles are normally reserved for the Canadian, Ontario and City of Kingston flags. He urged council to “stick to our policy” of no more than one day per group. The city handled half a dozen requests to raise flags on behalf of groups or events in 2013. So

far, only two requests have been made this year – by CPS and PRIDE – but more are coming, council was told. The city recently adopted a new Flag Display and Flying Policy that establishes clear guidelines for multiple flag raising requests on the same dates, municipal locations which are acceptable, and the protocol for flag raisings to salute royalty, the Governor General and other visiting dignitaries. “The purpose of the policy is to ensure that all flags at First Capital Place (around City Hall) and elsewhere in the city are flown and displayed in a consistent and appropriate manner,” according to an October 2013 staff report that council later adopted. The two groups that wanted to display their colours for several days proved to be the first test of the policy, and council decided not to waiver from its new rules. The policy allows external flags on the Confederation Park stage for a maximum of one day in place of the City of Kingston flag. However, the city reserves the right to bend the rules for its own reasons. At the same meeting, councillors confirmed their decision to fly the rainbow Pride flag alongside the Canadian and Ontario flags in front of City Hall for the duration of the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. The vote was 10-3. Mayor Gerretsen says, in this case, the Feb. 10 to 24 display is meant to show solidarity with other Canadian cities that oppose Russia’s anti- Kingston’s own Jayna Hefford accepts her Olympic gold medal following Canada’s thrillgay laws.

It would seem the prime target is Mayor Mark Gerretsen who is, as he has already noted in these pages, planning another run at the mayor’s chair. It’s no secret there’s a great 7-6 divide on this council. Let’s just say the mayor is typically voting with the majority and Glover isn’t, which is where much of the frustration lies. The mayor, in fairness, is not the city’s first leader to face a divided council while dealing with political backlash over policy decisions and accusations of trying to silence any critics. Just ask former Kingston mayor Harvey Rosen. The main difference in the two leaders, according to Coun. Jim Neill, is that Rosen actually achieved something during his two terms, especially his highly touted first-term ‘Group of 7’ accomplishments. “Harvey, for all the frustrations that I had, he had a plan. He achieved his plan and he came into office saying we have to do something,” said Neill. Relations must be pretty bad when a critic of Mr. Rosen holds up the former mayor’s ‘go big or go home’ progress agenda to compare against the actions of the current leader. Coun. Neill makes it clear he didn’t

think it’s a very fair and responsible deal, not just for the employees but for

explained, noting the affordable housing file and Williamsville revitalization plan may be the only projects the current council can take credit for doing. “I don’t see a vision going forward, which I find frustrating quietly frankly,” said Neill, who added that he likely won’t follow in Glover’s retirement footsteps. “To his credit he (Glover) says what he thinks and that’s kind of refreshing in this council where there seems to be so many people that muzzle themselves and try to muzzle others as well.” As for the mayor, he doesn’t seem rankled by Glover’s critique. Gerretsen dismisses the criticism and stands by his first-term track record, noting City Hall’s managers have even complained about being overworked and overloaded by the increasing number of collective council motions and other policy directives during the past three years. But the real question, according to Coun. Glover, is who is doing more work to set the policy agenda – staff or council? It seems Kingston’s council is doing something in the forest, even if others have a difficult time finding a legacy through the trees.

the City of Kingston and taxpayers, and that was our objective.” The city also managed to contain some costs related to sick leave and medical benefits. For example, dispensing fees for prescription drugs will now be capped at $9 per instance instead of an unlimited payment for CUPE members. That will save the city about $40,000, explained Burns, the city’s director of human resources and organization development. “We will be encouraging employees to purchase their drugs at pharmacies that charge responsible dispensing fees.” Mayor Mark Gerretsen says while he would’ve preferred to see more savings for taxpayers, he also termed it a “fair deal” that will help the city meet its goal of a 2.5 per cent property

tax increase in 2014. “From a management perspective you always hope for a little more especially in trying times like this when money is so tight.” Negotiators for both sides say they recognized that fiscal times are tight. “Both negotiating teams, I would say, should be commended for recognizing that the money tree doesn’t grow forever and it was a responsible deal that was achieved,” Burns added. CUPE’s last contract expired Dec, 31, 2013. Meanwhile, at the same meeting, city council ratified a new contract with the Ontario Nurses Association which represents registered nurses at Rideaucrest. The deal is retroactive to April 1, 2011 and expires March 31, 2014. R0012515910

like the LVEC’s location, and still doesn’t, nor the cluster high-rise developments on Block D. But at least he says Rosen’s accomplishments were clearly stated and executed. Sympathizing with Coun. Glover’s stagnation frustration, Neill added: “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?” Of course, other councillors are bound to take exception to the ‘do-nothing’ accusations. There are, many would argue, several accomplishments championed by this council: lowest tax increases since amalgamation, task force to streamline development, stable funding for affordable housing and homelessness projects, Brownfields clean up, ongoing road repairs, express transit, plus a variety of recreational projects at the Memorial Centre, Lake Ontario Park and Artillery Park to name a few. But according to Coun. Neill, most of these projects were actually approved or started during Rosen’s 2003-2010 administration. “Memorial Centre - previous council. Lake Ontario Park – previous council. So we’re completing some good planning that took place in the previous council,” he

tend to attack the incumbent mayor and other colleagues around the horseshoe. Not so for Coun. Glover. The Sydenham councillor, never one to hold back his views, launched a stinging rebuke of the current council’s “do-nothing” legacy as he announced that he won’t seek a third term this fall. “If you are not able to work with people you despise, you can’t really work here,” said the two-term councillor, quoting the words of retired U.S. Congressman Barney Frank. But who are the people he is speaking about, and is the criticism fair?

In Our Opinion

Ford more years? Yes please! Hollie Pratt-Campbell Assistant Editor @hollieprattcamp

Heritage Editorial - Between our respective full-time jobs and a toddler at home who requires 100 per cent of our attention 100 per cent of the seconds she is awake, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forget that Steve and I are supposed to be involved in this thing called a marriage and that it might be nice if we had a real conversation from time to time. Usually our exchanges go something like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you put the dog out?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can you? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m bathing the baby.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done that, can you feed the cat before he gets mad and knocks another glass off the counter or chews through another pair of iPhone headphones?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay. Do you have a clean sleeper for Summer for after the bath?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, can you get one from the dryer? And make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one with a zipper instead of those annoying buttons.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Got it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Śand so on, until Summer falls asleep, usually around 9 p.m. these days. Then our conversation goes something like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wine and Netflix?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh god yes.â&#x20AC;? One hour laterâ&#x20AC;Ś. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bed?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah.â&#x20AC;? And we both collapse into bed,

literally too exhausted for words. I thought I was busy before, but if only pre-Summer me had known how much free time I really had on my hands, imagine what I could have accomplished. I would have become fluently trilingual (English, French and Italian). I would have read at least one book a week and been in fantastic shape. And, I still would have had time left over to talk to my husband. A few weeks ago, Steve and I revived a tradition that reminded me of how rich and enjoyable our relationship once was - and probably still is, underneath the monotony of the daily grind. Toronto Star reporter Robin Doolittleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Crazy Town: The Rob Ford Story had just come out, and we decided that we would read it together. By this I mean we curled up beside each other on the couch, balanced the book in a place where we could both see it and silently read. Together, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed many a book this way, but this was the first since Summer arrived in our world. Just before she was born, we devoured The Hunger Games trilogy while listening (mostly) to Bon Iver, an experience that now ranks among my all-time favourite memories. Part of what makes our reading tradition so special is it has to be the RIGHT book. Steve only likes things that are political in some way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nonfiction think pieces or dystopian fiction. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not quite so picky, but I have little tolerance for books that are too dry, or fiction works that allow some over-riding political statement to trump the artistic integrity

of the novel. I knew right away that Crazy Town was the right fit for us, as we are both fascinated by the Toronto mayor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve in a disgusted, almost fearful kind of way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can people still support him?,â&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ask no one in particular. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is the world coming to?â&#x20AC;? And me in the sadistic, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take my eyes off the train wreck kind of way. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always interested in things that seem stranger than fiction. If Shakespeare were around today, he would write a play about Rob Ford, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure of it. Anyway, we tore through the book in about a week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not bad, considering we only had about 45 minutes max per day to read. More important, we managed to have some interesting conversations along the way, ranging from memories of when we lived in Toronto during the summer before the 2010 municipal election and our ensuing disbelief at Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory to what the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued popularity in the face of all his antics and illegal activity says about the state of the Canadian electorate. Doolittle concludes the book by explaining why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not such a stretch to think that Ford might win the 2014 mayoral election, and that he has already thrown his hat into the ring and unveiled his official campaign slogan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ford More Yearsâ&#x20AC;?. (We had to admit, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catchy and even kind of funny.) While another Ford win might be bad news for the people of Toronto, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll provide some good entertainment for the rest of us. And, it may even be good for my marriage

Youth and technology sometimes not the best combination Heritage Editorial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It is fair to say that our world is technology obsessed. Seeing people texting or surfing the web on their phone or tablet has become a common sight and most of us donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think twice about it, but should this behavior be acceptable in the classroom? More and more elementary and secondary schools are dealing with issues surrounding technology and the devices that go along with them. In recent years there have been multiple stories about cyber bullying and inappropriate images being circulated around schools via Facebook or Twitter. Even if these interactions occur outside of the classroom, they are being brought into the classroom through technology and inevitably causing issues. A few weeks ago there was an incident even closer to home. Approximately 15 Napanee high school students were questioned by police and then suspended after sharing inappropriate photos. While the photos were not taken on school property, the y were shared on devices while students were at school. Police will not comment on the exact nature of the photos, but the issue certainly raises further concerns about the effects of technology on youth. Technology has always been viewed as a positive in terms of teaching, but is that still the case? Should there be stricter policies about when and how to use technology in elementary and secondary schools? The Limestone District School Board has commented on the recent events and they point out that while these issues are not limited to their board, this is the largest they have seen thus far. The board is working to develop programming for students about internet best practices and online citizenship. These programs were actually launched last year, but are they enough? Does the responsibility in these cases fall on the board or on the parents? Bullying, teasing and inappropriate behavior is not new to school environments, but technology seems to be amplifying their effects. An argument can be made for the banning of smart phones and tablets, but even then, kids will still have access to computers in the classroom and they will still carry their after school activities and actions with them to school. Perhaps it is time for the school boards to institute stronger, more concrete rules regarding technology and focus on tough consequences for those that disobey. One thing is for sure, there needs to be a shift. Technology isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going anywhere.

Home and Renovation Show at the CAT Centre

Building a new home or renovating your existing home? There’s no better place to be this weekend, than at the Kingston Home Builders Association 32nd Annual Home and Renovation Show. Held at the Cataraqui Centre, the show features exhibitors showcasing many products & services. While some booths have participated in the show for decades, others are new this year. Shoppers can speak directly to professionals involved in many segments of the home and renovation industry. “It’s amazing that a volunteer organization can run a high quality show like this for 32 years,” noted Jordan Van Leuken, President of the Kingston Home Builders Association. “We have an excellent Show Committee that’s always trying to improve the Show. It’s important that both our participants and our valued patrons have a great experience”, he added. The

Show is a great convenience to patrons, as it offers one stop shopping for product knowledge & quotes. New this year, is the KHBA Home Show Passport. “We’re delighted to have partnered with McCoy Tours to send a lucky couple to New York City” says Van Leuken. The Show area has been divided into five areas representing the five boroughs of New York City. Patrons simply have their Passport validated by one vendor in each of the five boroughs (Bronx, Staten Island, Manhatten, Brooklyn & Queens). Completed Passports are dropped off at the McCoy booth. The draw takes place Sunday at 4pm. Passports are available to adults free of charge (limited to one per adult patron), and are available at all participating vendors. Returning to the Show this year is the “Home-in-One Grand Give Away” putting challenge. “This was a huge-

ly successful family event last year, and our winner was a student at Bayridge Public School. The community support was fabulous, with $1,500 donated to Almost Home”, says Van Leuken. With any freewill donation to Kingston’s Almost Home

( w w w. a l m o s t h o m e . o n . c a < h t t p : / / w w w. a l m o s t h o m e . on.ca> ), each participant gets three chances to sink a golf ball using a putter fashioned out of a hammer. One ballot is earned for every successful putt. The winner of the draw takes home $1,000, courtesy of BMO Financial Group. CRA tax receipts are provided for any donation over $10. Unlike other trade or home renovation shows, this show has no admission charge it’s free. The show runs during mall hours: 9:30 a.m. – 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday. The Kingston Home Builders Association first met in the basement of a home in 1954 to discuss the possibility of beginning an association. In 2014, the association has become an important asset to the Kingston home building community with close to 200 members. “We

are an association that represents the interests of those in the home building industry, including developers” said Van Leuken. “We work with the City of Kingston and Loyalist Township to ensure that [homebuilding] development is progressing in a positive way.” Members include new home builders, renovatiors, trades, suppliers, and professionals. “We host various events to help our members network, such as dinner meetings with informative guest speakers pertaining to industry needs,” said Van Leuken. “Much has changed in our industry since the new building code came out in 2012. We try to keep our members informed.” If you own a business which serves the home improvement & renovation industry, and would like to know how Membership in the Kingston Home Builders Association can benefit you, call their office 613-547-0986.

Home projects perfect for spring The rejuvenating spirit of spring makes this beloved season an ideal time for homeowners to take stock of their homes and properties and address any issues that arose during the winter. While some homes make it through winter unscathed, the harsh weather of the year’s coldest season can add several tasks to homeowners’ springtime todo lists. While some projects are best left to the professionals, others can be tackled even by those homeowners with little or no DIY experience. The following are a handful of projects tailor-made for spring. Inspect the gutters Gutters tend to bear the brunt of harsh winter weather, and come spring gutters are

in need of inspection if not repair. Winter winds, snow and heavy rainfall can compromise the effectiveness of gutters, which can easily accumulate debris and detach from homes during winter storms. In addition, gutters sometimes develop leaks over the winter months. As a result, homeowners should conduct a careful inspection of their gutters come the spring, being sure to look for leaks while clearing the gutters of debris and reattaching gutters that might have become detached from the home on windy winter days and nights. When reattaching loose gutters, make sure the downspouts are draining away from the foundation, as gutters that are not draining properly can cause damage to that foundation and possibly lead to flooding.

Take stock of roof shingles Much like its gutters and downspouts, a home’s roof can suffer significant damage over the course of a typical winter. Shingles may be lost to harsh winter winds and storms, so homeowners should examine the roof to determine if any shingles were lost (lost shingles might even be lying around the property) or suffered damage that’s considerable enough to require replacement. Summer can be especially brutal on shingles, especially those that suffered significant damage during the winter. If left unchecked or unaddressed, problems with damaged shingles can quickly escalate into larger issues when spring rains and summer sun inevitably arrive, so homeowners should prioritize fixing or replacing damaged shingles as quickly as possible.

damage, while low spots on the lawn that go ignored can make great breeding grounds for insects, including mosquitoes, when the weather warms up. When low spots are detected, fill them in with compacted soil. Compacted soil can prevent spring rains from flooding a yard or damaging a home’s foundation. Assessing potential property damage is a rite of passage for homeowners in the spring. Though some damage is significant, oftentimes even novice DIYers can work their homes and properties back into shape in time to enjoy spring and summer.

Check for freeze damage Frozen temperatures can be hard on humans and homes alike, but unlike humans who can stay inside when temperatures dip below freezing, homes are forced to withstand the elements throughout the winter. External hose faucets are often susceptible to freeze damage. To inspect such faucets, turn the water on and then place a thumb or finger over the opening of the faucet. If your thumb or finger can completely stop the flow of water, the pipe where the water is coming from is likely damaged and will need to be replaced. Examine the lawn for low spots Once a lawn has thawed out, homeowners can patrol their properties looking for low spots in the yard or even low spots within spitting distance of the home’s foundation. Such spots increase the likelihood of flooding. Flooding near a home’s foundation increases the risk of potentially costly

Each spring, homeowners should inspect their gutters to ensure the gutters are still attached to their homes and free of debris.

Lakeside community garden is looking for more passionate gardeners By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Food always brings people together, so why not grow food together, as a community? That is exactly the idea behind many community garden projects, including the Lakeside Community Garden, located behind Centre 70. The one-acre plot of land was recently transformed into a community garden project and after great success last year, they are looking to expand and welcome new community growers. “Last year we had about 50 plots, which used about half of the land,” explained board member Ayla Fenton. “We kept it to 50 last year because we didn’t know what the administrative side of it was going to be like, but this year we are going to expand and put in about 20 more plots, if there is a demand for them, and then the rest of the space will be used for a donation garden and a butterfly garden.” Fenton joined the project last year after seeing workers out in the field. She recently moved back to Kingston from Toronto to start working on an organic farm, but she was also looking for a community project to get involved with. “I didn’t really know of anything going on here and it just so happened that this community garden is right around the corner from my parents’ house. I was out there visiting them and I saw

people out tilling the fields last spring and wondered what was going on, so I did some investigating and got in touch with the board. I got involved with the gardening and ran a little donation plot last year. This year I decided that I wanted to be more involved and became part of the board.” Fenton still plans on working with a donation plot, but this year she will also be partnering with Lunch by George, which approached the Lakeside group with their desire to grow and serve more fresh food. “They want to replace canned vegetables with fresh and really make the meals healthier. I had already been planning on using the extra land for a larger donation garden, so it was a perfect fit. Last year we grew a few things and donated to Loving Spoonful, but this project is much larger. We will be working in partnership with them and any excess that they can’t use will be donated to Loving Spoonful.” The group is also looking for new applicants this year. They have a number of full 10x10 plots or half, 5x10 plots, available and the only real criteria is a want to grow fresh food. “There is no real criteria, they just have to sign the gardener’s agreement and maintain their plot,” added Fenton. “We do charge a small fee of $30 for a full plot and $15 for a half, but if people are unable to afford that fee we can make other arrangements. We don’t want to turn anyone away.”

Members of the Lakeside Community garden project gather and hope to welcome new members to their one-acre plot this year. Photo/Submitted. Many of the current plots are occupied by families, elderly gardeners and people who live in apartments and want to grow their own food but don’t have the land. Other plot owners are people who already have home gardens and just want more space. Fenton loves seeing the mix of people that are attracted

to the idea of a community garden and explains that they really have become their own community. “We hold gatherings and events to get everyone interacting and creating our own community. We also try to offer educational workshops. We did a few last year and we want to continue

doing it to educate people on proper gardening. I love seeing people get enthusiastic about growing their own food and I just really want to promote that and encourage people to come out and join us.” For more information or to obtain an application for a plot email lakesidegarden70@gmail.com

New CAO for Frontenac Islands Correspondent

1. Mayor Denis Doyle formally introduced Frontenac Islands newly hired Chief Administrative Officer/Clerk/Treasurer (CAO), Darlene Plumley, at a special budget meeting of council on Howe Island. Plumley, formerly the CAO at Stone Hills

Township located in Lennox and Addington County, assumes her new position effective March 3, 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She brings with her 20 years experience in the municipal field and the skills necessary to meet the challenges faced by our Township in the coming years,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Doyle said following the meeting. Plumley attended the meeting to meet council mem-

bers and staff and to get a sense of Frontenac Islands, the issues the township deals with, and its financial situation. Mayor Doyle invites Frontenac Islands ratepayers â&#x20AC;&#x153;to give CAO Plumley a warm welcome as she begins her new career of service with the Township of Frontenac Islands 2. You have heard it before but it bears repeating - Mayor Doyle offered his comments on what has been a very challenging winter with ferry services seriously impacted by the weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Simcoe Ferry closed completely, the Howe Foot Ferry experienced trouble, but kept going most of the time thanks to a dedicated crew, volunteers, and MTO who provided an excavator to keep the dock on the Gananoque side clear of ice. Even the Wolfe Islander was not able to maintain its schedule on the coldest days, but kept going, and to ensure the track doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freeze over during the 2:00 am to 5:45 am shutdown the crew keeps the vessel moving back and forth. We were not so fortunate with the County Howe Island ferry,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There the track filled with ice that got pushed into the slips as the vessel approached the dock making it impossible to get close enough to lower the ramps.â&#x20AC;? According to Doyle, MTO brought in large excavators, scooped out the ice in the slips and across the Howe channel, over several days during which time NO vehicles including ambulances and fuel trucks could be transported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This became a serious concern. However the Howe Island Fire Fighters marked a safe path across the ice at the east end of the island working with the Paramedic Service to meet at a designated place on the mainland so in the event of a medical emergency a person could be transported across by snowmobile and sled. Had the crisis continued an emergency would have been declared to establish a means of getting fuel oil to Howe Island .â&#x20AC;? Following meetings with MTO, and County staff tentative plans to prevent such a crisis from happening again were worked out for the Howe Island ferry. They determined that the bubbler system, installed in the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has deteriorated and is ineffective, was the main cause of Howe Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems, further aggravated when the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9 car ferry was replaced with a wider 15 car ferry in 2004 and the track cleared by the bubbler system was no longer wide enough. As well the ferryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cable drive system on one side only, does not track in a straight line across the water causing ice to break off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MTO will come up with a design for a wider path, free of ice, for installation this spring or summer,â&#x20AC;? according to the Mayor â&#x20AC;&#x153;so that we do not experience

3. The Frontenac County budget recently approved increases Frontenac Islands levy slightly by $10,593, or 1.3% over last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levy of $801,684. All of the 2014 Federal gas tax will be distributed to the townships. ( Nearly $80,000 to Frontenac Islands) In previous years (most of) this money was retained at the County for Sustainability projects.

He noted however, that during the crisis rumours were spread that ferry operators allowed the County Ferry to sit at the dock, freezing to the slip while they took long breaks. Following a full review by Frontenac County Ferry Operations, the township has been assured that it was not true and that the Frontenac Howe ferry makes a crossing every half hour during the night whether cars are waiting or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We owe thanks to Township, MTO and County staff for their hard work and dedication to making the best out of a bad situation,â&#x20AC;?

High school athlete of the week

Multisport athlete aims for OFSAA soccer title By Mark Kerr Reporter

Heritage Sports -- Whether he is guarding the net during penalty kicks of the championship game or taking aim at a target the size of a pinhead 10 metres away, Matthew Truelove thrives on pressure. “I am a very competitive person,” said Truelove, 17, a Grade 12 student at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School. “I enjoy winning and being focused on what I need to do (to win).” Truelove plays soccer and football at Regiopolis-Notre Dame, and he participates in competitive air pistol shooting outside of his school activities. He said he traces his competitive streak back to his childhood and growing up with his older brother James, 18. “We’ve been going at ‘er for a long time,” he said with a laugh. Years of battling his brother couldn’t fully prepare him for the intense pressure he experienced last spring as the keeper of the senior boys’ soccer team. The final game of the Eastern Ontario championship came down to penalty kicks, with his coach and teammates calling on him to make just one stop. And he did just that, robbing the second shooter, but it wasn’t enough as Regiopolis-Notre Dame’s pivotal shot clanged off the goal post. Truelove admits he thought a lot

about the first penalty kick that he faced that day. He got a piece of the shot but not enough to stop the ball from trickling over the goal line. “That was a tough couple of weeks (after EOSSAA). I really wanted to go to OFSAA. I did what I was asked to do, but I kept thinking about how I could have done more,” he said. “I finally got over it because I knew there was always next year.” Having the ability to move past a disappointing outcome is something Truelove has focused on improving in his other sporting passion: competitive shooting. When he first started out, Truelove found he would get into a downward spiral after a few bad shots. He said he has worked hard to address that shortcoming. “It takes a lot of mental training,” he said. “When I have a bad shot, I sit down and have a break. I try to take it one shot at a time and hope for the best.” Truelove, who has represented Ontario at several national competitions, is slated to compete in the 2014 Ontario Winter Games that begin today in the Muskokas. The local athlete is looking to compete at the national championship this year and possibly make it on to the World Cup circuit. Competitive shooting has connected Truelove to his future career pursuit. His coach suggested he join the Canadian Forces reserves in order to practice his shooting with the mili-

tary training team. A long-time cadet, Truelove was interested in the reserves and joined the 21st Electronic Warfare Regiment. He has already put in a request to join the regular Canadian Forces following high school. “I have always wanted to do something meaningful for my country,” he said. Truelove devotes every Thursday night and every other weekend to the reserves. Currently, he is taking a military vehicle driving course that he really likes. He doesn’t find it difficult to balance his schedule right now as he only has shooting, reserves and school work. He expects the challenge to increase near the end of March when soccer training camp opens. The keeper is eager to get back on the field and erase once and for all last year’s disappointing ending. And while he wants nothing more than to earn a medal at the OFSAA soccer championship, Truelove thinks he can keep everything in perspective, a vital skill to have when facing immense pressure. “Sports have taught me how to get over things,” he said. “It’s just a game, and you just need to keep going because life goes on.” This profile is the first in the Heritage/Gazette’s new High School Athlete of the Week column.

Mother’s lessons on life proved valuable for Mary Districts vs. At-Large elections? Council urged to pop the question to voters Mary Cook

Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Lifestyle - Sometimes I got tired listening to what Mother called her lessons on life. Just about everything I did provided me with a lesson on life according to Mother. And I had to admit most of them rolled off me like rain off a duck’s back. But she persevered, oh, how she persevered! We learned early about honesty. According to Mother, honesty was right up there with going to church every Sunday. And modesty was another thing she preached about. It took my sister Audrey to explain to me that the modesty Mother was preaching about had nothing to do with running around the house in our flourbag underwear, or taking our Saturday night bath in front of everyone in the kitchen, but had everything to do with bragging about ourselves. And certainly envy, could lead us straight to Hell in a basket! And then came the day when I learned about still another lesson on life. It had to do with a young girl who went to the Northcote School. Rather, she went to the Northcote school when she could. It wasn’t unusual for her to miss several days in a row, and we all knew it had nothing to do with catching the measles or the whooping cough. It had everything to do with if she was needed at home. Even though she was only a few

years older than I was, she was the oldest girl of a large family. And the chore of helping her mother often fell on her shoulders. We were poor like most other families around us...deep in the Depression, but my sister Audrey said her family was even poorer than we were. Her father worked in the bush miles from their farm, and was often away for weeks at a time. That left her mother to tend the farm, leaving little time to look after the younger children. And so my little classmate, more often than not, had to stay at home to lend a hand. There was always a sadness about this young girl. You could see it in her face. She had long dark hair, and often she would tell me how she wished she had coloured ribbons like I had to tie it off her face. And I knew without a doubt, there simply wasn’t enough extra money for hair ribbons to replace the elastic she used to tie her hair up in a knot on the top of her head. My hair ribbons were bought at Walker’s Store in Renfrew only if Mother had a few extra pennies from selling her wares door to door. But at least I had hair ribbons! And so I decided I would take two or three of my best ribbons, put them in a little paper bag, and hand them to the young girl at school. It was on one of the rare days she was at school, and I told her not to open the bag until she got home. “No peeking,” I said. When I got home, I told Mother what I had done, and said I felt so good about it I was going to phone my best friend Velma and tell her about my good deed.

Well, Mother told me to sit down, and I knew without a doubt, another lesson on life was coming. She had that look about her. And Mother said that when you did a good deed, if you told anyone about it, it erased the deed. I had a hard time grasping what she meant, since I knew I had done the deed, so how could it be erased? But Mother went on in great detail, telling me good deeds were no longer good deeds if you bragged about them. I still wasn’t convinced, but as always, Mother’s word was the law. And so I kept to myself my giving the ribbons to my young classmate at the Northcote School. When she next came to school, several days later, so I knew she was needed at home, her long black hair was tied high on her head, and there was one of the long ribbons from the brown paper bag I had given her. She gave me the biggest smile, and neither of us said a word. No one knew but the two of us how she came to have brightly coloured ribbons tying up her long dark hair. A warm feeling came over me, and I knew then what Mother meant when she said a good deed is erased if you brag about it. Another lesson learned, and this one that has stayed with me since that day Mother sat me down in the kitchen so many years ago. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

think it’s a very fair and responsible deal, not just for the employees but for the City of Kingston and taxpayers, and that was our objective.” The city also managed to contain some costs related to sick leave and medical benefits. For example, dispensing fees for prescription drugs will now be capped at $9 per instance instead of an unlimited payment for CUPE members. That will save the city about $40,000, explained Burns, the city’s director of human resources and organization development. “We will be encouraging employees to purchase their drugs at pharmacies that charge responsible dispensing fees.” Mayor Mark Gerretsen says while he would’ve preferred to see more savings for taxpayers, he also termed

it a “fair deal” that will help the city meet its goal of a 2.5 per cent property tax increase in 2014. “From a management perspective you always hope for a little more especially in trying times like this when money is so tight.” Negotiators for both sides say they recognized that fiscal times are tight. “Both negotiating teams, I would say, should be commended for recognizing that the money tree doesn’t grow forever and it was a responsible deal that was achieved,” Burns added. CUPE’s last contract expired Dec, 31, 2013. Meanwhile, at the same meeting, city council ratified a new contract with the Ontario Nurses Association which represents registered nurses at Rideaucrest. The deal is retroactive to April 1, 2011 and expires March 31, 2014.

Infrared saunas boost a person’s health and well-being There’s nothing like a good sweat, as the saying goes. People feel cleansed and relaxed after they sweat from exercise or from sitting in a sauna or steam room, and there is good reason for that. The skin is the human body’s largest organ, and we use the skin to release toxins when we sweat. Toxins and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and copper are all known to leave the body through sweating. Conventional methods of sweating are very beneficial to the human body and people’s long-term health. But now there is a new means of sweating and releasing toxins through the skin using “infrared saunas.”

Continued from page 1

Infrared saunas can penetrate below the surface of the skin and uses radiant heat to speed up the body’s natural fat metabolism. Instead of heating the surrounding air, infrared saunas heat the body’s core to cause sweating. This is done at lower temperatures than conventional saunas or steam

rooms, making infrared saunas safe for people with blood pressure or cardiovascular problems. The Nova Health Naturopathic Centre based in Kingston, Ontario offers infrared saunas as one of its specialty treatments. Infrared saunas also have many other benefits when combined with an overall health plan such as improving circulation, boosting the human immune system, relieving stress and eliminating joint pain. In this way, infrared saunas help to contribute to people’s total health and well-being. People who want to experience the benefits of detoxification and a safe sweat should visit the Nova Health Naturopathic Centre in Kingston. People who try the process are often amazed at the results. To learn more about how infrared saunas can help people live well and feel great, please contact the Nova Health Naturopathic Centre by telephone at 613 546-9995, or check out the clinic online at www. novahealthnaturopathic.com R0012570034

Singing the blues will help fight cancer By Mark Bergin

Daytripper - Imagine sitting around listening to blues masters like John Lee Hooker and John Mayall and wanting to preserve the moment forever. That’s exactly what’s happened for some blues aficionados in Kingston, and in doing so, they’ll be helping in the fight against cancer. Tales of life at a long-closed bar called Dollar Bill’s located inside the Prince George Hotel have reached near-mythological status in town. That can only increase in the near future. I have no firsthand knowledge; Dollar Bill’s was before my time in Kingston. But I’m still excited by the recent news that tapes have been discovered from the late 1970s and early 1980s gigs at the bar. A lot of the tapes come from performances that were broadcast live to a now-defunct local radio station. Peter Lloyd, the manager of Dollar Bill’s, kept some of the tapes. Others ended up scattered across Canada in the homes of sound engineers who had made the recordings. The tunes were largely lost to memories of the past. Thanks to folks like Peter Lloyd and Stephen Berofe, that music will again see the light of day. Over a year ago, Berofe was sitting at Lloyd’s kitchen table. Lloyd pulled out some old cassettes. Berofe was in awe when he listened to recordings that had never been heard in public since their first broadcast more than 30 years ago–musicians like John Lee Hooker and Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee. They decided to do something about it. A group was formed to bring these old tapes to life.

“We’ve narrowed it down to 61 tracks The highlight will be a Live From DolIf any are left over, they will be availfeaturing 15 artists,” said Berofe. “The lar Bill’s gig on May 25 at Tir na nOg, the able for purchase from the University tapes have all been re-mastered.

were sent to Doug McClement in Toronto. He’d done some of the original recordings in Kingston. He also helped find some of the tapes that had become scattered across Canada. Lacquer Channel Mastering in Toronto did the re-mastering of original tapes. “Doug literally spent months transferring the material to CDs,” said Berofe. “And we spent 11 months listening to everything and choosing tracks, getting permission from artists, and even figuring out what the names of some songs were.” In addition to blues greats like John Mayall, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee and John Lee Hooker, there are other blues, rock and folk musicians in the collection. Guitar great Amos Garrett is there. Jimmy Page, in a Rolling Stone magazine article, said Garrett is one of his favorite American guitar players. You’ll also hear a number of Canadianborn musicians: David Wilcox, who has performed with icons like Charlie Pride and Carl Perkins; Colleen Petersen, a folk and country performer, who recorded and toured with Charlie Daniels, Tom Waits and Ry Cooder; Poet/songwriter/ musician Willie P. Bennett; Rough Trade, possibly one of Canada’s best bands ever. Definitely the kinkiest. Some of the musicians returning for the May 25 gig include the Lincolns and David Wilcox. Berofe says there will be big surprises when some international artists confirm their participation. Tickets for the event are available through the Grand Theatre box office or by calling 613-530-2050. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

Hardest winter in two decades or the most fun? Locals embrace the season with a grown-up snow fort you’re building, you block the light in the entrance and check that you can’t see too much light through the walls,” Button said. “It’s a sign that the wall is getting kind of thin when you can see light coming through, so we stop hollowing out the inside when we see the light.” For optimal thickness, a blue glow should appear around the walls when the entrance is covered. And that wasn’t the only glow Tam, Button and Li discovered when they covered the entrance of the quinzhee, allowing darkness to fill the interior. An enchanting green light also shone up from the icy bottom of structure, revealing a rather mysterious side of Lake Ontario. “It’s a mystery,” Button admitted. “We don’t know why the light’s coming up from the lake – whether it’s sunlight somehow or whether it’s phosphor luminescence we’re not sure.” Yet he noted that the green glow wasn’t an entire surprise. “We googled online and some of the guys had done the same thing on a lake and they mentioned it in their blog,” Button explained, saying that this was indeed another motivation for building the quinzhee on the frozen lake. Button said that he and Li were planning to camp overnight in the structure – making for a very short commute to their RMC office the next day. “The idea is to sleep in it and go straight to work,” he laughed. So how did it feel to finish such a unique project? “We’re pretty proud,” Tam said. “This

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

Heritage News - Most of us are in the habit of complaining about this seemingly never-ending winter, but on Family Day weekend Jen Tam, Mark Button and Summer Li decided to embrace the season and make the most of the freezing cold temperatures and endless inches of snow. Their first thought was to build an igloo, but that proved to be a little complicated. “For an igloo you need really good packing snow,” Tam said. “We went outside [on the Sunday] and it was minus eight, so it was really hard to pack it into the moulds.” Instead, they opted for a “quinzhee”, an igloo-like structure made from a pile of settled snow as opposed to blocks of hard snow. They decided to build it out on the frozen Lake Ontario, in the little bay between RMC and Fort Henry; the setting offered ample clean, previously untouched snow and enough isolation to render attacks from young hooligans unlikely. “Quinzhees are [traditionally used] as survival shelters, so you can quickly make something if you get caught out in a storm,” Button explained. “It’s faster than an igloo. Less technical, less skill [required], less work, less pretty.” To make sure they constructed the structure correctly and to ensure it would be as safe as possible, the three did some research online before starting to build the quinzhee. The project took them over 10 hours in total. “To make sure it won’t collapse as

PhotosHollie Pratt-Campbell year we have a lot of snow whereas last year we didn’t have as much, so getting out for winter activities is always nice and fun.” “I think everyone has the urge to do something like this,” Button added. “It starts when you’re a kid and it never really leaves you, but you sort of give up on doing stuff like that. We work sitting inside all day, and it’s just so nice to get outside and do something, especially when the weather’s nice and the sky is blue.”

Releasing butterflies for bereavement By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Events – Butterflies are a symbol of hope and rebirth. In recent years, the trend of releasing butterflies has become popular at weddings and special events and this year the Bereaved Families of Ontario (BFO) want to use butterflies as a symbol of remembrance. The group is planning a butterfly release at the end of May as a unique way to remember loved ones and celebrate life. “The butterfly event is actually the first of its kind in Southeastern Ontario and it is being done collaboratively between BFO and Hospice Kingston,” explained BFO Kingston’s Strategic Marketing Officer, Matt Williams. “It has been a joint effort and it’s not so much a fundraiser as it is a celebration. They chose the butterfly because of its symbolic meaning in terms of metamorphosis and being born again after death or sudden change.” Wiliams joined BFO after losing his brother last June to a rare disease known as Batten disease. He originally joined to help out with their teen programming, but became involved with more and more activities. Williams is now working on developing a children’s program and really believes that bereavement programs are extremely helpful to those struggling with loss.

“I think the problem with grief and bereavement is that it is such a common thing in life and most people just ignore it and are told to just suck it up and deal with it, but it really can cause serious issues and it can be really hard,” explained Williams. “It is especially hard and even traumatic for younger people and finding support groups and other people who are dealing with similar issues can be comforting and really helps the healing process.” BFO offers a wide variety of support groups to the community including groups for mothers who have lost children, general grief support groups, mourning coffee groups and many more. Even if people don’t feel comfortable coming out to the groups, BFO offers one-on-one counseling and support as well. BFO also holds an annual Walk to Remember and while the butterfly release is separate from the walk, Williams hopes that it can become a fun annual event too. “We really wanted to do an event with Hospice Kingston this year and make it an annual event too. We are planning kind of a jam-packed fun Saturday afternoon with face painters, henna tattoos and of course the butterfly release.” The butterflies can be purchased for $25 on both the BFO website and the Hospice Kingston website and are

being ordered from a butterfly farm in the Niagara region. They do need to be ordered at least eight weeks in advance and even if people can’t attend the actual release event, they can still purchase a butterfly. “If people are unable to attend but still want to release a butterfly, we can arrange for a volunteer to release one for them,” added Williams. He said he is excited about the nearly 100 orders that have already been placed, but he’d like to see more. “I’d like to see us get up to 400 or 500 butterflies and really make this an amazing event.” Regardless, the event is sure to be pretty amazing and Williams encourages people to come out to see the release and support BFO and Hospice Kingston. “Even if you don’t want to purchase a butterfly it is nice to come out and support two local, non-profit organizations. There is a lot going on in the city and this is just another great event to take part in and come out and meet people. The event is also environmentally friendly and it is a great way to bring more monarch butterflies to Kingston too.” The Wings of Serenity Butterfly Release is on Saturday May 31 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Hospice Garden in City Park. Butterflies are $25 each and must be ordered by April 2. For purchase information visit www.bfo-kingston.ca or www. hospicekingston.ca

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

Kate Miller-Heidke: quirky and brilliantly talented By Mark Bergin

Enchanté - These days, when popular musical artists are vying for “Who gets the most outrageous headline this week,” an Australian singer/songwriter is one of the more understated talents. Despite low-key marketing, Kate Miller-Heidke is one of the most creative and innovative musicians on the scene. And she’s definitely one of the most talented. Some musicians, because of their personalities and skill, deserve to be superstars. Kate Miller-Heidke is one of them. But she’s turned her back on the corporate world that could take her to stratospheric success. Her work, bordering on performance art, takes music to new artistic levels, far outside the monotony of commercial radio’s mainstream. Her songwriting skills could easily produce an ongoing slew of catchy number-one hits. Instead, she chooses social commentary and relevance over selling out. She’s devoted herself to many important issues. Her current cause is the Great Barrier Reef. Miller-Heidke is just as unpredictable visually as she is musically. She often presents with a down-home simplicity, almost like a blonde Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, but the sparkle in her eyes lets you know there’s hidden madness and silliness under the facade. One moment she looks like she could be set to attend a southern fundamentalist church service; the next, she’s Nina Hagen-ish bizarre, like a diva out of a nineteenth century opera. Her Facebook Song became a viral Internet hit and live concert fan favorite as she mocked the superficiality of many of those who use the social media giant. Throughout the song her pop voice segues to opera. You can sense her mind giggling behind the lyrics. It all sounds squeaky-

clean and typically pop, until, of course, the lines:

Shake It. If you start thinking she’s just another pop queen, flip back to the darker side and listen to her op“I don’t give a toss if you’re a nin- eratic version of the Talking Heads’ ja or a pirate.

To bert and Sullivan shows. get a sense of her pop songwriting But one of her pop songs, Space skills, check out songs like Can’t They Cannot Touch, took off on the

Australia pop charts. She suddenly had hordes of fans and a Sony recording contract along with appearances on Australian national television. In 2008, she and her husband, Keir Nuttall, who plays guitar in MillerHeidke’s band, won $25,000 USD in the International Songwriting Competition for their song Caught in the Crowd. No Australian had ever won the prize. Many thought her opera days were over. But in 2009, she again appeared at the Sydney Opera House and, again, people took note. She was invited to audition for the English National Opera and landed a role in The Death of Klinghoffer at the London Coliseum. She performed in Michel van der Aa’s Sunken Garden opera with the English National Opera last year. Late in 2013, she announced that she’d left Sony Records, calling it a corporate juggernaut. Instead of sussing out a contract with another company she went for crowd funding through PledgeMusic. In three days, she reached the funding target required for her next album. Miller-Heidke and her band have toured extensively in North America, Europe and Australia and have amassed a devoted fan base. But she remains far outside the mainstream. Highly educated and intelligent, yet with pop appeal and avant garde leanings, she’s not about to be

typecast into one role or genre. Her sound swings from electro-pop to acoustic. Deeply moving lyrics may simply reflect love or convey concise social criticism. She pulls it off with heavy doses of humor. In songs like God’s Gift to Women, she takes on sleazy men. She does the same in The Devil Wears a Suit, but in more of a zombie-themed tone. It’s that sense of humor. The bizarre (said as a compliment) darling’s music is so catchy that the New York Lottery has even used it in its advertising campaigns. Eschewing the corporate machine, this musician will never be in your face on corporate media TV, but she’ll always be present, attacking your mind and heart. Haunting. Provoking. Giggling.

Exploring the complexity and hilarity of human relationships through song in I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage Entertainment - Meredith Slack isn’t just directing and playing a role in the King’s Town Player’s latest production I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change – she’s directing and playing a total of 20 different characters. “It’s a vignette show, so we never play the same character for more than five minutes, which is really fun as an actor,” she explains. “There are only four of us, so it’s all very intimate.” Slack notes that just as she is doing double duty as actor and director, so too are the other three performers, Amanda Edwards, John Halligan and Daniel Pauley, contributing to the overall vision of the production. “It just requires more of a collaborative effort from everyone, which I actually really like. I’m not so egotistical as to not think that they might understand something I don’t and so on and so forth. Part of the audition process, actually, was letting those that would be in the cast know that I’m in the show, so I’m going to be calling on them to be eyes on the show as well.” I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is the first musical the King’s Town Players have staged since the company’s inception in 2010. Its subject is romantic relationships in all their many forms. “[It touches on] everything from being single, and all the things that come from being single, to going through dating and marriage and kids and divorce and loss all encapsulated in these twothree minute vignettes, which is really fun,” Slack says. A small live band comprised of a keyboardist and a violinist will be on stage along with the actors; the show will be performed at the Kingston Yacht Club – the same non-traditional setting that the Players have used for a number of shows in the past. “It’s a really stripped-down musical, which is great,” Slack says. “It’s also a challenge because there’s nowhere to hide whatsoever, so I’m really happy that we’ve got such amazingly talented people involved because it requires that. “There are literally about five seconds between each scene so it really asks a lot of the actor to really get into character without big costumes and without the furniture and the set pieces. Everything has to be really general so it can transform into any given thing.” Getting all of the characters down is also a chal-

lenge with such short breaks between scenes, but Slack notes that it was important to her that the actors take the time to learn each one with care. ‘I think it’s easy to have shows like this where you just [portray] caricatures of each person and I really wanted more than that. I wanted people to see that they are realistic characters going through real life issues and love and loss and all of that in between. So I didn’t want anything to play as campy…I wanted to find some truth in it.” She explains that there’s no real separation between the cast and the audience at the Yacht Club, which serves this production well; indeed, Slack adds that even those who don’t always enjoy traditional musical theatre are sure to have a good time at the show. “Everyone can come with their friends, sit down and have a drink…This show hasn’t been done in Kingston for about 10 years and it is something that people will really love. It’s a great opportunity to have fun and get out for the night. Bring your spouse, bring your friends and just laugh and enjoy yourself.”

Up in my grill

Kate Kristiansen

A guide to culinAry hAppenings And seAsonAl food

I Coat Checked a Tiramisu By Kate Kristiansen

Up in My Grill - Two decades ago, I stumbled upon Marche restaurant, located at 181 Bay Street, Toronto, inside Brookfield Place. It opened my eyes to a fresh way of exploring food. It impacted my taste for variety and with it, endowed me with a zest of adventure in eating. Since opening in 1992, the contemporary Swiss market continues to be my oasis. Not always for the food (although often it‘s very tasty) but for the memories it holds. Fresh, healthy and fast is their guarantee. To me, it’s the holy grail of food frenzy-dom. The lively market atmosphere seats up to 600 guests. They do not accept reservations, unless you are a large booking. Sometimes, I’ve waited in line on a busy Saturday night. It was always worth it and never felt overcrowded. The Marche Movenpick website claims it’s the largest Marche restaurant in the world. A landmark Toronto establishment, partly due to its size and location next to the Hockey Hall of Fame, it’s a haunt for both locals and tourists. It has changed ownership throughout the years and sometimes closed its doors for renovations, but typically it‘s open Monday – Thursday 7:30

a.m. – 11 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 7:30 a.m. – 1 a.m. every day, all year round. Getting there is easy as the subway station is nearby. If you are driving, park at Brookfield garage, located right next door to Marche between Yonge and Bay Streets on Wellington. Marche will validate your parking if your bill is $30 dollars or more. It’s then free and you can leave your vehicle for the rest of the day while shopping around downtown. Upon arrival, you are greeted and provided with a plastic card (somewhat like a credit card) to shop for your meal. The quirky, open concept restaurant is set up in tiny market cooking areas for you to choose from. Select a table in one of the many themed rooms. Each table has a sign for you to flip over to reserve your place and you are then free to discover. At the end of the night, present your little card and the person at the register will total up the cost of your meal and add a 12 per cent gratuity. The food is cooked fresh in front of you, and a wide range of menu options are available including wood-fire pizzas, pasta, seafood, steak, chicken, stuffed sandwiches, Thai soups, sushi, green salad and a host of other selections. Enjoy a wine or beer from the bar, which

offers ample choices by the glass or bottle. Soft jazz or flamenco guitars can be heard in the background, softening the tone of the buzzing atmosphere of guests meandering about. Save room for dessert. You will not be able to walk by the dessert bar, with its huge range of fresh baked goods and tasty choices from the ice cream market. The sweet smell of vanilla and sugar mixed with chocolate is a delight. My first taste of Tiramisu was here, and so began my long love affair with the dessert. Not to mention the coffee bar featuring espresso, filtered coffee, tea and hot chocolate with truffles to finish off the evening. I have spent loads of time strolling the Marche markets. It’s my “go to” place. In fact, I recall a scramble one evening when my girlfriend and I double booked for two dates and the second was a late night wine and dessert at Marche. (Still makes me giggle.) I even brought my parents here to meet my future in-laws for the first time. Since then, I’ve brought my husband, my daughter and countless others to enjoy its offerings. Although, one night will go down in history as the best ever at Marche. It was the early ‘90s. I was living in Toronto and had a friend

visiting. Marche had long become one of my and my roommate’s favourite destinations. We were long overdue to catch up and planned for a late night of talking, eating and dancing. On the way out, my roommate demanded that we bring her back a tiramisu dessert. Of course, I promised with a smile. My friend had never been to Marche and, despite how often I frequented the restaurant, there still were many things I had not yet tried. We decided that night we would sample (almost) every type of food on offer. Dipping sushi into the green wasabi and noshing on pasta, salads, and meat, the courses seemed endless. We also drank with each selection, tasting wines and learning about their grape varieties. The explosion of flavors in my mouth was matched by laughter, and made for a good night. It’s probably the first time I truly appreciated the experience of eating. Instead of the old staples we permitted ourselves to explore and understand the importance of a discerning palate. Feeling tipsy and incredibly full, we could not depart without paying a rather large cheque and purchasing a takeaway Tiramisu. Tiramisu is a tantalizing dessert of cake infused with a liquid such as coffee or rum, layered with a

rich cheese filling and topped with grated chocolate. No two are alike. It has been a favorite since my first bite. The night was not over. We still needed to stop for dancing. Late dinner followed by dancing was always warranted. However, what to do with the tiramisu? Interestingly enough, Tiramisu is an Italian dessert and in English means “pick me up”. It may have proven helpful for us single gals to cart the Tiramisu onto the dance floor and wave it about, but this was not practical, so I did what seemed logical (after many glasses of wine). I coat checked the Tiramisu! We had a number provided to us to recover it at the end of the night. But, can you really trust a coat jockey with chocolate rum filled dessert? We didn’t think so, so we took a photo to be sure we knew where to find him should the tiramisu go missing. Marche holds many delicious memories. My palate has grown over the years, but I still frequent with family and friends. One thing is for certain, I never ever leave without the Tiramisu!

Heritage Sports – With the Olympics coming to a close, many will forget about skating and other winter sports for the next few years, but not the members of the Fort Henry Skating Club. Sharon Nixon and the 20 athletes she coaches year-round are always skating and training for competitions. Recently, this hard work paid off. “We had skaters that competed in the Eastern Ontario StarSkate Invitational Championship [Feb. 14-16] and some of them are moving on the Provincial Championships in Wellington in March, explained Nixon, who has been coaching in Kingston for the past 15 years. “Then we also had a group compete in sectionals this past November and they will be moving on the Winter Games [taking place in northern Ontario the weekend of Feb. 26March 2], which is like a mini Olympics.” She added that many of the athletes achieved personal best scores recently too. “That’s really great to see and really moti- Skaters Zachary Freedman, Elisabeth McKitrick, Katie Kissick, Anya Guinzbourg vating,” Nixon said.

Nixon prefers coaching Photo/Mandy Marciniak. over actually skating herself, and sees it as an opportunity to teach kids how to be better at aspect of skating, both at the single and pair the things she wasn’t so good at. “I take everything that was hard for me and levels, and he hopes to bring that love of everything that I wasn’t very good at and I competition to the Winter Games again this make sure that the kids are good at it.

His only worry is remembering the sure that they are ready to compete and that footwork. “The most challenging part for me is rethey are confident and strong and well trained and disciplined. I love seeing them do well, membering all of the foot work and working especially after all of the training and hard through the hard times.

PUZZLE PAGE

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, you want more than you can acquire this week and your desires may lead you astray. It is important to exercise self-restraint, even if you get a thrill from living on the edge. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, make a concerted effort to improve your focus in the weeks ahead. There is much to lose if you cannot tackle the tasks at hand, particularly at the workplace. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, it’s unlike you to slow down, so don’t be surprised when friends start looking at you curiously after you take your foot off the gas. Your free spirited nature will soon return. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, find a routine that works for you and then stick with it. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, and when actions become automatic, you can focus on other things. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – A need for attention could get the better of you, Leo. A little humility goes a long way and can alter others’ perceptions of you. You may end up being seen in a more positive light. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, you can differentiate between right and wrong, but your judgement might be off this week. Rely on your intuition, but don’t make any big decisions without first thinking carefully. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, it may seem like you are being led astray by one thing after another, when all you want is to focus on one task at a time. Find a way to block out any and all distractions. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, work on a creative project with a sweetheart or friend early in the week. Ideas will flow easily and your imaginations will soar together. It is a productive pairing. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – This is not your week to mix love and money, Sagittarius. In fact, keep the two as separate as possible, and exercise caution before lending anyone money. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, you want to play outside of the rules this week. You normally like to follow a relatively traditional course, so this catches others off guard. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – You don’t always have the patience to stick with the same routine, Aquarius. That means others cannot expect you to conform to their whims if they want you as a friend. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Pisces, you may need to sacrifice some security for a chance to have a memorable experience. Do something out of the ordinary.

Fourty-two years of adding colour and sparkle to the Limestone City By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - Lynda MacRae, owner of The Glass House, hopes that her business will offer a welcome burst of colour to patrons during this very gray time of year. “The colour is what I truly love,” she says. “We’re lucky because with running the shop and having to purchase glass, you get to go and see from our suppliers what’s available. It’s kind of like walking into a giant candy store and you get to pick whatever you want. That’s a lot of fun.” MacRae’s goal is to stock the best glass there is for her customers, in order to keep them inspired while they’re working on projects. “You want people to have a nice selection to work with as well because a lot of people do this as a hobby – it’s amazing how many people do.” In addition to selling glass and other materials for those who create stained glass works as a hobby, The Glass House offers classes for those interested in learning the craft; they also do a lot of commissioned work for local clients, which appears in everything from churches to personal homes. MacRae and employees Yolanda and Merianne build the pieces, which are sketched and designed by Lynda’s husband, Craig MacRae. The MacRaes are the second

owners of The Glass House, which was started in 1972 by Sheila Marsh. Originally, the studio was located on lower Princess Street behind Wayfarer Books; now, it can be found at 991 Sydenham Rd. Lynda and Craig took over in 1999. “It’s really evolved over the last 42 years but it’s still [very relevant],” MacRae says. “People say to me, ‘Is this still popular?’, ‘Do people still do this?’, and the answer is certainly yes. I think when people think of stained glass traditionally they think of church windows and they think of installations on people’s doors and things that they see in houses. But it’s a lot more than that.” These days, stained glass can include everything from mosaics to fused glass pieces to combinations of the two and more – whatever inspires the artist at the time. “A lot of people take their own creativity and combine different techniques to create their own unique pieces. So it’s changed a lot over the years and it seems to keep people interested. Hopefully that’s one of the reasons why we’re still here after all these years.” So what makes a stained glass piece stand out? “I guess like anything it starts with a good design,” MacRae says. “That’s obviously important. “Even with a nice pattern, I think if you don’t pick the right glass and the right colours then

Lynda MacRae (Right) and Yolanda work on a commissioned stained glass piece. that can really make or break a piece. Usually people who are familiar with the construction of stained glass will get down to the nitty gritty and look at the quality of the cutting and how close the pieces are and how even the soldering lines are. But I think for the most part what strikes people the most is colour.”

At the same time, she notes that patterned textured pieces made of mostly clear glass can also be extremely effective. “People also seem to notice them, and yet they have very little colour. They just have a little bit if iridescence in them. I think the fact that they’re almost sparkly because of the textures of the clear

glass catches people’s eyes.” Feeling inspired yet? For those looking to take up stained glass as a hobby or build on their existing skill set, a full listing of classes offered at The Glass House can be found at www. theglasshouse.ca. A new lineup of spring courses will be announced in mid-March.

Celebrating International Women’s week with a variety of unique events mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Events –Seven years ago, a number of women in Kingston decided to get together and plan a unique way to celebrate International Women’s Day. Instead of just celebrating on the day, March 8, they decided it would be fun to create a week-long celebration with multiple different events, including a kick-off “one of a kind” show called She Creates. “This is the third year for She Creates,” explained Kim Graham, Community Education Coordinator for the Sexual Assault Centre in Kingston. “Previously we did a little market down at city hall and then we decided to make it a bit bigger. It has grown each year and last year we had about 800 people that came through the doors.” This year’s show will be held at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour on March 1. It features many different types of vendors. Last year the show saw over 70 vendors and this year they are up to 80 with a waitlist of others who would

like to join in. “We open it to self-identified women and we try to keep it all reasonably priced so that women from all demographics can come out and enjoy the show,” added Graham. “The show has no cost associated with it and we also include a children’s area to make it a bit more family friendly. We encourage both women who are just starting out with their crafts and established vendors to come out. We want a nice mixture.” Returning vendor Paula Brooks loves the show and sees it as an amazing opportunity to display and sell her eco-friendly and unique dog treats and accessories. Brooks runs Bark’n Up The Green Tree and has been a part of the show since it started. “It is an opportunity to showcase what we do locally and I really love the local aspect of the show. I try to produce locally as much as possible,” explained Brooks. “I also love supporting the whole purpose and it really was a perfect fit for me in that sense.” Brooks lost her dog, Lady Shannon,

She works to create gluten free, natural, healthy dog treats and has also expanded to collars, beds and sweaters made from repurposed materials. “Our collars are made from used neck ties and we also repurpose old hooded sweatshirts to make new dog sweaters,” added Brooks. “I am also in the process of making collars from the straps of car seats and using padding and materials from car seats to make dog beds, so we are all about repurposing.” Brooks is just one of the many unique vendors that people can visit at She Creates, but if you aren’t into craft shows, there are many other events going on to celebrate International Women’s Week including film screenings, drumming classes, yoga classes, crafting workshops, panel discussions and an all day beauty event called Get Pampered. “This is our fourth year of doing Get Pampered and it really is an awesome day,” explained Deb Kinder, Women’s Community Development Coordinator for HIV/AIDS Regional Services (HARS), “I am not one who is into makeup or nails or anything like that Paula Brooks (with her dog McKay), owns Bark’n Up The Green Tree, but I enjoy the event too.

Empowered by peace this International Women’s Day By Hiba Kesebi Reporter

Four local organizations are hoping to empower women through peace this International Women’s Day. On March 8, the Healing Violence Committee of the Sisters of Providence, PeaceQuest, International Women’s Day, Kingston Interval House and the Sexual Assault Centre Kingston will be hosting Women Do Peace, a day-long conference, featuring workshops and activities to empower women. According to Judi Wayatt, a member of the organizing committee, peace was chosen as this year’s theme because it has many points of entry. “We can talk about creating peace in ourselves, peace in our families, peace in our communities and peace in our country,” she explains. “We can talk about peaceful interaction with our environment. We are just going to hope that by having a fulfilling event women will leave feeling

empowered and encouraged to reflect on the things that they can step up to do.” In addition to holding six workshops covering topics from “Kingston Women Making a Difference” to “Women Making Peace in Sudan”, the conference will also feature a musician and participatory singing. But for Judi Wayatt, the highlight of the day will be hearing keynote speaker Erna Paris talk about peace. Paris, who is a renowned author with 12 national and international writing awards, is also the winner of the Canada World Peace Award, which recognizes an outstanding Canadian whose work creates awareness and inspires action towards a more peaceful future. Through her talk about peace, Paris hopes “people will have a sense of what is necessary and what we have to find in ourselves in order to do this kind of work, and undertake this kind of activism and be inspired to make change.” She explains that the conference combines both her interest in women’s history as well as her interest in peacemaking. “I began writing about women’s issues and am going to be talking about the changes that have taken place in Canadian society and what has been accomplished and what has not,” she says, noting that she will also focus on the status of First Nations women. More important, Paris wants to empower women into participating in peacemaking. “We can facilitate change and we can be active in terms of facilitating tools for peacemaking and it is possible for women to facilitate that change,” she says, noting that one of the best ways to empower an individual is to look at others who are instilling change. “We need to look at the status of women in the The Goo Goo Dolls rocked the Rogers K-Rock Centre Feb. 18 to the delight of their many Photo/John Harman developing world and the barriers they face in their Kingston area fans. society and the efforts that others are making to eliminate these barriers,” she adds. Women Do Peace will be take place March 8, from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., at the Providence Spirituality Centre. Tickets are $25 and include lunch, parking and childcare.

Entertainment - Movie: The Monuments Men Starring: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, John Goodman, and Cate Blanchett Director: George Clooney Rated: PG I think a good movie should tell a story, make you think, and teach you something of the human condition. I think the art in film making is in its ability to move you. It’s in its ability to make you laugh or make you cry. The Monuments Men is a very good film. Towards the end of World War II the Nazis began to move all the art they’d stolen back to Germany. Frank Stokes (George Clooney) is tasked by F.D.R. to put to-

gether a team to find the stolen pieces, and get them back to their rightful owners. Some people would see this as foolhardy. For Stokes this is what this war is about. To him it’s about saving 1,000 years of western culture. Stokes calls on James Granger (Matt Damon), Richard Campbell (Bill Murray), Preston Savitz (Bob Balaban), Donald Jefferies (Hugh Bonneville), Jean Claude Clermont (Jean Dujardin) and Walter Garfield (John Goodman) to join him on his quest. They aren’t soldiers, they’re architects, museum curators and artists, but they’re willing to put their lives on the line to save what they can. Their quest soon becomes a race against time. An order is intercepted that says if Germany falls or Hitler is killed then the Nazis are to destroy everything. Every painting, every sculpture, every great work of art lost forever. For Stokes and his men this cannot be allowed

to happen. The Monuments Men is a fascinating story. It’s a facet of World War II that I wasn’t that familiar with, and I found Clooney’s telling of this story riveting. To think of what was almost lost is staggering, yet there were these men and woman putting their lives in danger to save these works of art. It’s incredible, and I thought Clooney was able to take their quest and show why it was important to them, and why it was important to all of us. Beyond that Clooney shows incredible sensitivity with this film. He balances the seriousness of the subject with moments of humour. He balances the horror and sorrow of war with moments of triumph. He quite smartly sticks to his story and the small part it has within the larger picture, and in so doing creates a magnificent film. There’s a sense of real camaraderie between this cast, and it spills forth onto the screen. John Goodman, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, and Hugh Bonneville were perfect. Cate Blanchett who plays Claire Simon a French art expert is wonderful. Matt Damon delivers a great performance, and George Clooney is as brilliant in front of the camera as he is behind it. Art is the soul of a culture or people. Destroy a people’s art and you destroy their soul. The Monuments Men understood that, and I believe George Clooney understands it too. My Take is a regular feature in the St. Lawrence News EMC.
