Making the case for red light cameras: Consultant’s report says it’s feasible

The Kingston Area Minor Hockey Association held their annual IP (Initiation Program) Funday at the Invista Centre March 1. Ten teams of players aged five to eight years old participated in games designed to introduce hockey through fun fitness and the basic fundamentals.

Kingston Heritage – You can’t have a cop on every corner, but Kingston may do the next best thing based on the findings of a new report on red light cameras. A compelling business case has been made to support the installation of cameras at 10 accidentprone intersections in Kingston in order to nab red light runners. A detailed investigation into the pros and cons of the automated fine system suggests red light cameras would cost about $520,000 a year to operate at 10 local intersections with potential fine revenues of $970,000 a year, leaving an estimated profit of $450,000. But city officials say the potential for additional municipal revenues shouldn’t be the driving factor in deciding whether to install red light cameras. Rather, they stress accident reduction, commuter safety and changing driver behaviour. “Since RLCs (Red Light Cameras) are considered to be a safety device, a successful program will result in a decrease of the number of violations and a corresponding reduction in revenues as time passes,” said a staff report by Mark Van Buren, the city’s director of engineering. Staff laid out two scenarios for politicians to consider: proceed with red light cameras at a minimum of 10 intersections by early 2017, or continue to enforce red light infractions with police resources only and do not consider red light cameras at this

time. The report will be discussed at the environment, infrastructure and transportation committee March 5. The investigation stems from a council motion in April 2013 to conduct a business case into the feasibility of red light cameras. “I don’t want it to be a perceived cash grab. It’s about making traffic safer,” said councillor and police services board member Dorothy Hector, when her $50,000 factfinding motion was first introduced. Seven Ontario municipalities currently use cameras to automatically take pictures of vehicles that breeze through red lights. The cameras would record the license plates of a red light runner, the speed the vehicle is travelling and send the owner a $325 fine (but no demerit points) through the mail. The province has allowed municipalities to operate red light cameras since 2000, but the price tag is prohibitive for many communities. The annual cost to operate a single camera is $52,000 per intersection, not including the unknown cost to buy the equipment from a private supplier. The city would also have to provide start-up money from its own budget in 2015 and 2016, and it could take time to recoup the expenses, according to staff. The consultant worked with Kingston police to determine which intersections would be good candidates for red light cameras based on accident history, police experience and dispersed geographical locations. The 10 preferred sites are: DiviContinued on page 6

Queen’s seeks new game plan for late night anguage. noise at west campus fields By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Queen’s University is going back to the drawing board to find a solution to the noise vs. neighbours debate around its west campus sports fields. City council was set to debate a controversial permanent noise exemption to allow “game whistles, yelling, shouting, hooting” and other noise associated with late night games, but the application was withdrawn by Queen’s at the last minute. “We think we have to do more consultation and try and find a middle ground that is workable for everybody,” said Leslie Dal Cin, director of athletics and recreation at Queen’s. Several residents and local athletes had assembled in the council chamber March 4 in anticipation of a heated debate over the noise application, but both groups left the meeting without a decision. Dal Cin says it’s best to place the application in limbo until more discussions are held with the community. “We are going to talk more.” Local residents around the two fields at Johnson Street and Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard – one natural and one artificial turf – say they are not anti-sports, but say granting a permanent noise exemp-

tion to as late as 11:15 p.m. on most week nights is too much. They have written numerous letters of objection. “People expect some down time in their busy lives. I’ve had nice, quiet evenings from 9 p.m. onwards for many years and hope to continue to do so,” said Oakridge Avenue resident Bob Wojcik. “Queen’s is making a completely inappropriate request in this instance and should not be allowed to trample over the rights of homeowning neighbours to quiet enjoyment of their properties,” said Oakridge Avenue resident Adam Davidson-Harden. Sports clubs and athletes also wrote letters of support for the application. The suspended application asked the city to allow sports teams to play until 11 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and until 9:30 p.m. Friday to Sunday, plus an additional 15 minutes to allow players to exit the fields. In addition, Queen’s wanted a total 48 ‘single use’ days a year to allow the 11 p.m. noise exemption at both fields on any day, including stat holidays, provided the city receives 48 hours’ notice. City staff endorsed the recommendation with a promise to review the changes by December 2014 and determine whether the exemption would be modified or revoked

based on future complaints. Dal Cin appeared taken aback by the community’s ongoing opposition. “We thought we’d found that compromise with moving from seven days to four days (for late night noise) and putting significant limitations on what type of noise and when it could occur. But obviously we have to do some more work.” Queen’s officials say the natural field at Richardson Stadium has been used for decades and the artificial field has been in place for three years, but they only started learning about the noise complaints last summer. “For the better part of the 40 years there’s been activities at the west campus. The nature of the activities haven’t changed, but artificial turf fields allow you to play so much more. I think we had not anticipated that impact,” Dal Cin told reporters at city hall. Had the noise application been defeated by council, Queen’s would have had to wait one year to bring back a similar application to council. “The effect of our application going forward and having it defeated will have a significant impact to community groups and our own programs.” As it stands, Dal Cin says there will be “losers” as some of the

9,000 players on a dozen varsity and non-profit sports teams will have to be juggled into available time slots at other fields to adhere to the current rules which prohibit game-related noises beyond 9pm. She could not say when the noise

application may resurface at city hall. “The consultation will lead us to a timeline… whether that’s in two weeks or four months the process and consultation will define that for us.”

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, March 13, 2014 3

Former PM visits Queen’s to inspire and be inspired By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - When former prime minister Joe Clark visited Queen’s University on March 4, he hoped to pass on some of his knowledge of Canada’s role on the world stage, gained from decades of experience, to the younger generation – but he also hoped to learn a few things himself from the students’ more youthful perspective. “Young people see the world entirely differently than I do,” Clark said in an interview with The Kingston Heritage. “I was raised in an age where distance really meant things. I knew what was immediately near me. I think [the perspective of young people today] is broader. People have a sense that they have like-minded people in the world and I look for their originality. I look for their commitment. I look for their fresh take on issues where my views might be more conventional than they need be.” Indeed, Clark said that the wide variety of not only generational but also cultural perspectives found in Canada can be a huge asset in terms of how our country can contribute globally. He emphasized the opportunity for a country like Canada to enter into new partnerships with other countries and nongovernmental organizations interested in similar issues, a theme that is central to his new book, How We Lead: Canada in a Century of Change. “If you were born poor in Asia or in Africa, your view of the world and its possibilities would be different from someone raised in Canada. And we have an unusual capacity to draw these different views of reality together and

get some agreement as to how we can move forward. We’re not as big as other countries…but we are a country with a distinctive set of assets that we can begin to apply.” Clark believes that Canada has more opportunity for influence at international events than almost any other country, in part because we have been so successful in dealing with people who have built common aspirations despite coming from different backgrounds. “So in part the book I’ve written is an aspirational book - what we could be. And I think that’s a useful contribution. I found the writing hard, I’ll tell you, but what I really find satisfying is the kind of thing I’m doing here at Queen’s.” Clark noted that while today’s political climate, particularly his own Conservative (formerly Progressive Conservative) party, looks quite a bit different from how it did in his day, he hopes that some of his new ideas will be able to transcend party politics and have a positive influence regardless of who is in power. “I did not support the merger of the Progressive Conservative party and the Reform/Alliance because I feared at the time that the positive qualities of the Progressive Conservative party would be lost, and I regret to say I appear to have been right. I think that this is a narrower view of the world and consequently a narrower view of government. I try to analyze that in my book as to why it happened and what its consequences are, but that’s the reality and I’m also trying to suggest that regardless of what party is in office, what the country might do if we wanted to make a real difference internationally.”

While no longer directly in the political game, Clark is still very much involved with international issues and commentary. In addition to various writing projects, he is currently working with a number of international organizations dedicated to helping countries in the developing world solve some of the problems they’re facing. In December, he visited the Ivory Coast in Africa; the country has experienced significant civil wars, which they at last appear to be overcoming. “The government there believed that they could encourage some movement towards unity if they had a group of neutral people come in and talk to the leaders of various parties, and so I and six others spent a week there. I had a chance to talk to a number of parties that were in contest with one another and make some proposals as to what might be done.” But does he ever miss politics and being able to help address some of these problems from a position of greater power? Clark remarked that he was fortunate to serve as prime minister and foreign minister during a very creative time in the world, and that Canada played a very active and positive role during that period. “I think it is always better to be acting than to be commenting, but I had my period as an actor and I hope that I learned some things [about what Canada can be] that might be useful not only to people who are Joe Clark served as Canada’s 16th prime minister from 1979-1980. now making decisions on some of these issues, but also to the Canadian He also served as secretary of state for external affairs in Brian Mulroney’s government from 1984 – 1991. public.”

Citizens Police Academy returns for a fourth season in Kingston mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – If you have ever wondered how police procedures like forensic analysis and K9 searches are actually performed, then the Citizens Police Academy is definitely for you. The program was started in Kingston in 2011 and Constable Terri Kennedy immediately took on the task of organizing and planning the program each year. “I organize all of it, right from getting the applications out to receiving them back, doing background checks on those who apply, sending out acceptance letters and then organizing the actual classes and arranging to have speakers come in,” explained Kennedy. “I think it is a great opportunity for police to share with the community what they do and that is why I get involved with it each year.” This year, the Academy begins April 3 and runs until May 14. The class is structured as an interactive information sharing evening, similar to a night class and runs from 6 - 8 p.m. The goal is to teach community members as much as possible about their police force in that time and to do so, guest speakers from different sectors are brought in weekly. “Over the weeks, the class will hear from different units like our K9 unit, forensics, traffic and patrol divisions and then with that we also provide opportunities to go into different divisions,” added Kennedy. “We take the

class into the forensics lab and show them how to take a finger print or how we analyze fluids. Last year, with our K9 division, one of the participants actually participated in a tracking exercise with one of the dogs here on the grounds of the station. We do tours of the station and take them through a typical police car and we just try to provide as much information as possible.” Because of the interactive nature of the course, spaces are limited. Kennedy has been flooded with applications for this year already, but explained that she can only accept 30-35 people. This smaller number allows the group to move throughout the station with ease and also enables participants to ask questions throughout the sessions without taking up too much time. “It is surprising how quickly two hours goes by when you have community people that are engaged with the presenter and the presenter is engaged with them and they are receiving so much information and asking questions, the time just flies by,” added Kennedy. The program has been a huge success in the past and Kennedy even gets requests from people who want to come back and take it again. Although this isn’t possible, Kennedy encourages past students to recommend the course to family or friends and really help spread the word. The course, she feels, really helps the community better understand the police force and if that knowledge can be spread around,

The graduates from last year’s Citizens Police Academy in Kingston. This year’s program runs from April 3 to May 14. it will only produce positive results. “Each participant gets something different out of the class, but what I want to see is that they are being educated and that they are taking some knowledge home with them, whether it is one small thing or 10 things, I

just want them to learn while they are here,” added Kennedy. “They also get to know their police service and get a feel for us. They may never encounter us on the street, but at least they will know a bit more about us and what we are doing to serve

Kingston.” Application forms for the Citizens Police Academy can be picked up at the front desk of the Kingston Police station at 705 Division St. or can be submitted electronically by going to the official website at www.kpf.ca

Making the case for red light cameras: Taller fences will ‘barricade’ Kingston Consultant’s report says it’s feasible backyards, councillors warn By Bill Hutchins

Continued from page 1

sion & Johnson Streets, Queen & Montreal Streets, Division & John Counter Blvd., Perth & Unity Roads, Taylor-Kidd Blvd. & Bayridge Drive, Bath Road & Portsmouth Avenue, Gardiners Road & Princess Street, Princess & Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd., Princess & Taylor-Kidd Blvd., and Gardiners & Taylor-Kidd Boulevard. Coun. Hector has suggested the high-tech devices would allow police to redeploy their resources to other duties. “Red light cameras are 24/7 so it’s using people and technology in a better way.” Some believe the cameras could solve one problem but create another as hesitant motorists slam on the brakes and cause rear-end collisions

rather than continue through amber lights and risk getting a ticket in the mail. A study by the consulting firm CIMA+ looked into this problem and found red light cameras would decrease intersection accidents (such as T-Bone crashes) by 25 per cent, while rear end collisions would likely increase by 15 percent in the short term. The consultant says a camera can only be focused on one approach to each intersection. The consultant says setting up the system would involve contracting a private vendor to install the device and provide the data for ticket processing to the City of Toronto, which has the equipment to issue the tickets in Kingston. The process also involves providing a share of the revenues to the ministry

of transportation, plus the court time of municipal legal staff to prosecute ticket disputes and appeals. The consultant says the cameras could generate fine revenues up to $4.8 million per year, but conservative estimates suggest the city would only gain 20 per cent of those revenues due to various factors such as improved driving behaviour. “Some violations will not be captured due to out of province licence plates, dirty licence plates or improper vehicle registrations.” City officials say red light cameras may end up being a revenue-neutral program. “Since the primary purpose of the RLC program is safety, any excess revenues could be earmarked for road safety program expenditures,” said Van Buren.

Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Good fences are supposed to make good neighbours, but taller fences will wall them off from the rest of the world, according to some councillors. Many are decidedly against a new proposal to allow boundary structures as tall as eight feet, instead of the current standard of six feet in the backyards of Kingston. “It’s almost like barricading,” complained Coun. Dorothy Hector. “An eight foot wall constitutes a prison wall on their backyard.” Others argue many of the higher density urban neighbourhoods have small or narrow backyards, and taller fences along property lines would look totally out of place. “By doing this we are essentially barricading ourselves in and creating fortresses of our own,” said Mayor Mark Gerretsen, who also opposes taller fences. The recommendation to extend Kingston’s fence height rules had earlier received firm support from the city’s administrative policies committee, but the proposal was cut down when it went to council for approval March 4. Many complain the extra tall fences would also promote an anti-social atmosphere. “We are trying to be more integrated, more cooperative … how do bigger fences enhance that?” asked Coun. Rob Hutchison. He called the push for taller fences a “fruitless pursuit of privacy.” Kingston’s fence bylaw, last updated in 2003, sets six feet (1.8 metres) as the standard for backyard wooden or chain link structures, including fences topped with lattice. Fences as tall as eight feet (2.4 metres) are only allowed if someone’s property abuts an arterial road. But in the ever increasing demand for privacy among neighbours, city officials argued it’s time to add another two feet to the maximum height rules. The

committee-endorsed staff report was based largely on requests from fencing contractors and homeowners who have backyard pools. “It was mostly from people installing pools in their yards. They wanted to go higher than six feet for more privacy around their pools, especially in areas where the land is sloped,” explained Terry Willing, the city’s director of building and licensing. The proposed changes would also be consistent with what bylaws already allow in other cities like Toronto. The main condition to the eight foot height is that support posts must be bigger and offer more stability: 6x6 inch posts in concrete to prevent premature leaning or collapse of fences on or around a property, Willing added. Countryside councillor Jeff Scott argued in favour of taller fences for rural residents who don’t want others to see what items they are storing on their properties. Councillors decided to send the recommendation back to the committee level to determine if only the rural areas of the city should be allowed eight foot high fences, while leaving the six foot standard in place for the urban areas. City solicitor Hal Linscott says the city does have authority to craft a separate bylaw based on certain geographical areas. The issue appears to have divided suburban councillors. Coun. Lisa Osanic says residents of her west end district want taller fences. “They want the extra privacy.” She added: “I don’t know how this is going to come out in the final vote.” However, east end councillor Brian Reitzel says allowing higher fences in many backyards of his district will ruin sightlines. “It’s too intrusive on smaller lots. Some backyards are 30 feet wide. If you start putting up eight foot fences they’re going to look like chicken coops.”

In Our Opinion

A step in the wrong direction

Battling the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coldâ&#x20AC;?est season ever Hollie Pratt-Campbell Ast. Editor

@hollieprattcamp

Heritage Editorial - You may recall that back in October, everyone in my family got sick with a nasty stomach bug. It was so bad that my illness made the news; both this very column and CKWS TV picked up on the story. CKWS also spoke to an expert from KFL&A public health, who claimed that what Steve, Summer and I were going through was not, in fact, a sign that flu season had arrived early, and that my family was simply suffering from a plain old run-of-themill virus. With all due respect to the expertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical degree, I begged to differ. Run-of-the-mill viruses didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel so awful. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m even more certain of this fact, thanks to having endured a steady stream of pesky viruses for the last five months. As I write this, my cold-free record for fall/winter 20132014 stands at nine days. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been sick in bed the whole time. The common cold has just been an annoying reality Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to deal with as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone about my dayto-day life. Thus, in addition to being the worst winter Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever lived through weather wise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been my sickliest ever. Is it the worst fate in the world? Likely not. But having everyone in your life resent you for entering their

general vicinity while sick isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fun. Nor is not being able to sleep because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathe through your nose, or being teased incessantly because your virus has entered the laryngitis phase and you have to whisper to communicate verbally. The cause of my depressing cold track record is probably obvious to anyone who has kids: my almosttwo-year-old. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new to the world and, before starting daycare a year ago, had never been exposed to any viruses, so her body doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ability to fight them off. I, however, have been around for 30 years, and have still ended up with every single thing Summer has got thus far. This seems outrageously unfair to me, since shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I have built up immunity to at least some of these viruses during my own childhood? Either way, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become a little obsessed with anything that claims to have the ability to boost the immune system, knocking back Cold FX and green smoothies daily and munching on copious amounts of kale and citrus fruits. For the record, I really did notice a difference in the severity and duration of the colds the times that I took the Cold FX vs. when I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. No, this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove anything, but that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop me from continuing to fork over the big bucks for these exceptionally well-marketed vitamins. During the worst stretch of a cold, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn to Advil Cold and Sinus and Tylenol Cold and Flu (extra strength in both cases), interchanging them every two hours in order to feel

halfway equipped to get through the day. Before bed, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pop two of the nighttime versions, which are usually enough to knock me out for at least part of the night. Hopefully by the time this column runs, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have beaten my nine days healthy record (as I write this Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on day 6). In the mean time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to annoy Steve by spending $25 on jars of Cold FX, and work my Vitamix overtime blending up frozen cold-fighting concoctions. Want in on the green smoothie fun? Obviously, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m living proof that they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily keep the colds away, but they WILL make you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something good for your body in addition to serving as a delicious snack or meal. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recipe (the first Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever shared, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not mistaken) for my favourite green smoothie: You will need one small frozen banana (peeled and cut into small-ish pieces before freezing), about half a cup of frozen mango, a couple of big handfuls of spinach or kale, a cup or so of almond milk, a few ice cubes, a spoonful of unsweetened peanut butter (optional) and/or a tablespoon of chia seeds (optional). Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be put off by the bright green colour; instead, learn to love it, as I did. Green smoothies have been a Pratt-Campbell household staple for many years. Even Summer canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough. Now if only we could master the whole health thingâ&#x20AC;Ś

8 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, March 13, 2014

Heritage Editorial- Saturday March 8 was International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, a day that has celebrated the advancement of women since the 1900s. Sadly, this year, the week leading up to International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was one filled with news media attention on the appalling sexual sandals at the University of Ottawa, Early last week the school suspended the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team after allegations that several players were involved in a sexual assault in Thunder Bay over a weekend tournament on Feb. 1. The police are now investigating the allegations and while no details have been released, the school felt it was necessary to suspend the players in the interim. Shortly after this incident, four student leaders resigned from their posts at the university after student union leader Anne-Marie Roy went public with their sexually explicit private Facebook conversation about her. Roy had received screenshots of the Facebook chat in an anonymous email sent on Feb. 10, and decided to make them public to bring attention to what she considered an example of â&#x20AC;&#x153;rape culture.â&#x20AC;? Both of these incidents really call into question the treatment of women in universities across the country and how best to respond to scenarios like these. In a statement made by University of Ottawa chancellor, Michaelle Jean, the question of sexual mistreatment of women across the country also came up, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not a concern for women only, our campus only, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a societal issue â&#x20AC;Ś We all need to address this issue,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we were just brutally reminded of this week is the pervasiveness of misogyny.â&#x20AC;? These two incidents show that discrimination against women is still a prevalent issue in our society and while women have made great advances over the years, one has to wonder when the sexual mistreatment will stop. In response to all of this controversy, the University of Ottawa announced that they are establishing a new task force on respect and equality. The task forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate will be to submit specific recommendations to the president on ways to promote respectful behaviour on campus, particularly towards women. While the solution seems a bit late, we have to wonder if maybe this type of group should be mandatory at every university. As much as we all like to think that womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights are equal to those of men, situations like this really make us take a step back and see the reality. Perhaps next year, on International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, groups like the students at the University of Ottawa will have something to celebrate. For now, we really just need to focus on making positive changes and moving forward instead of backward.

Heritage News – Spring isn’t generally considered the “season of giving”, but for the Kinsmen group in Kingston it certainly is. After a very successful Dream Home Lottery campaign last year, the Kinsmen decided to donate to a number of community groups. “We has enormous success last year with the lottery and we generated approximately $250,000 in profit that we turn around and put back into the community,” explained Ryan Hanes, vice president of the Kinsmen Club in Kingston and chair of the Dream Home Lottery program. “We put every extra cent back into helping the community and different groups. As a club, we chose a number of initiatives and charities that we were passionate about and allocated funds for each.” One very appreciative group is the Partners in Mission Food Bank which received a $20,000 donation from the Kinsmen - a donation that

will help supply fresh meat products for hamper clients over the next two years. “It was kind of unexpected certainly,” said Sandy Singers, executive director of the Partners in Mission Food Bank. “We received a donation a few years ago that was very similar from the Kinsmen and we are so appreciative that they want to help us out.” Last year, Partners in Mission put out over 11,000 hampers and Singers has seen that number climb each year since 2008. The food bank generally focuses on supplying those in need with non-perishable items, but Singers hopes that more and more fresh products can be incorporated in the coming years. “Every food bank struggles with supplying fresh food. The process we have created in food banking is for mainly non-perishable food just because it is easy for the food bank to collect and transport. We have the facilities to hold refrigerated and frozen products and that helps us a lot in terms of being able to receive food offers that come from

larger suppliers. This also allows us the opportunity to share fresh products with hot food programs in the city too. Last year, we moved about 50,000 pounds of food to those other agencies.” Periodically, donations are also made from corporate groups and commercial suppliers, but those are often random and unpredictable. The food bank uses donations like the one from the Kinsmen club to fill in the gaps. From the Kinsmen perspective, they just want to give back and help

Kingston Frontenac Public Library welcomes first writer in residence By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Events – Patricia Robertson always wanted to be a writer, it just took her a while to figure out how to be a writer. “I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I always knew that I wanted to be a writer but the path to being a writer is not a crystal clear one,” said Robertson, the new writer in residence at Kingston Frontenac Public Library. Robertson struggled for years and worked other jobs that involved writing before eventually going to grad school for creative writing. Her main take away from grad school was that she finally felt like she had permission to write. “[That] something that I felt I needed to hear in an official way,” 11:16 PM You are unconscious at a party. No one knows about your diabetes. The paramedics arrive. 11:21 PM You’re in insulin shock.

explained Robertson. “After that I was involved in a very serious car accident in my late thirties and that really clarified things for me and made me realize that I needed to make writing a priority and I needed to organize my life around that and that is what I have been doing ever since.” Robertson took a position as writer in residence in the Yukon and eventually ended up staying on as a creative writing instructor at Yukon College. She was recently offered the position of writer in residence with KFPL and she felt like it was a perfect fit. “I am really passionate about the role of public libraries and their importance in the lives of community members. I remember going with my mother when I was very small, to the local library, so the idea of being based in a public library now, which everyone has access to, is very appealing to me,” explained Robertson. “The idea of being the first writer in residence here was really exciting too and I feel very strongly, as a writer, that it is a way for me to give back to a community.” As part of her residency, Robertson is offering writing workshops for aspiring writers. The workshop is called Seed of the Story and focuses on helping writers learn about how to start stories and translate their ideas and thoughts into plausible story beginnings. The first session ran at the central branch of KFPL in January and now Robertson is offering the workshop at the Sydenham Branch on March

18 and at the Sharbot Lake branch on April 29. Robertson encourages anyone who is interested in creative writing to come out to the workshop. “I would encourage people to come out if they are interested in creativity or they are interested in writing but feel intimidated by it, or anyone who is writing but finds that they get stalled. Sometimes people don’t have the confidence to carry the work forward and that is often the case when we start out. We don’t always have the courage to believe in our own visions and make them real.” Her main focus is teaching people how to tap into their ideas and showing them that anyone can write a good story. “It is letting people know that they have all sorts of story seeds in them and around them and it is really about being open to them and knowing how to access them. It is also about teaching people that writers are not magical people who have special access to these images and ideas. Everyone has them. It is about finding the raw material and working with it.” For more information on the “Seed of the Story Workshops” visit www.kfpl.ca or email Patricia at probertson@kfpl.ca or check out her blog at http://writer.kfpl.ca/

A play filled with comedy and mistaken identity: Don’t Dress for Dinner promises to entertain By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemca.ca

Heritage Events – Mistaken identities, love affairs and slapstick comedy: these are the elements that audiences can expect to see in Don’t Dress for Dinner. The play is a farce comedy by Marc Camoletti and is a favorite of new director Kyle Holleran. “This is a play that I put forward to Blue Canoe a few months ago and they gave me the go ahead and I am so happy to be directing it,” said Holleran. “I really like the author, Marc Camoletti. In a couple of his farces he uses the same kind of stock characters and throws them into different situations and I really like that and his style of writing. Farces are my favorite kind of play and I have always wanted to direct one, so I think this was a good starting point for me.” Holleran is a third year drama student at Queen’s and just recently directed his first full length play, the Nightmare Before Christmas, for Blue Canoe. This time around, he has taken on something a bit more challenging, but Holleran is looking forward to seeing the finished product. “It is a very quick paced show and a lot of it is playing on words and playing on language and entrances and exits, so it has been a bit challenging just working with everyone and making sure that we can keep the pace in the show going. The show really relies on everyone

playing off of one another at a really fast pace and coordinating it all has been a bit of a struggle but working with everyone in the cast has been so great.” The challenge is certainly being felt by lead actors Sara Chiodo and Brent Gorrie. Both actors have never performed in anything like this and while the challenge is welcome, the play has been difficult to master at times. “There are a lot of things going on and it really is a crazy setting with all of it taking place in basically one room throughout the play,” explained Chiodo. “It is really challenging getting the oneword lines to flow properly with three people on stage. The pacing of the show is also really fast so that makes it challenging too.” For Gorrie, who loves comedies, the play has also been a lot of fun and a great intro into a lead acting role. “I love comedies. I love them because you get to be really physical and make the audience laugh and that is really empowering as an actor. The entire situation of the play is also really fun to be part of. The play is so absurd and off the wall in terms of the situation and that makes it so fun to be part of and watch.” Overall, despite the challenges, Holleran is really happy with how the play has come together and he hopes that people will come out and enjoy a night of comedy. “I just want everyone to have fun with it, that is my main goal. I just want

Out Standing in Our Field Making a living isn’t just about the bottom line By Aric McBay Columnist

“Did you hear the one about the farmer who won the lottery?” dairy farmer Dianne Dowling asks. It’s a favourite joke of hers. “They asked him, ‘What are you going to do with your winnings?’ He answered: ‘Why, I’m going to farm until it’s all gone!’” It’s perfect farming joke; it combines a farmer’s persistence and hard work with a pinch of gallows humour. The idea that a person would need win the lottery to afford to keep farming is not entirely silly. Net farm incomes have been on the decline for nearly half a century. In the past decade the average Canadian farm has had a negative net income (accounting for depreciation). This means that farms either subsidize them-

selves through off-farm income (like having one spouse work in town), or they put off maintenance and upkeep, allowing their equipment and infrastructure to slowly fall apart. Sometimes it’s both. This fact is a major reason the average farmer in Canada is in their mid-fifties. Young people want an occupation that’s going to pay them, not the other way around. There are exceptions to the trend, of course. There are farms that have a positive net income. And those farms are a window into the future. Dairy farms (such as ours) are in general the most financially stable. There’s a simple reason for that: supply management, the eminently sensible idea that farmers should produce the same amount of food as people actually want to eat. (Egg and poultry farms, which also benefit from supply management, rank sec-

ond for net income.) Most of the loss in net farm income can be traced to one trend: the vertical, corporate integration of our food system. The vast majority of companies that make up our food system — from seed and agrochemical businesses to distribution firms to grocery stores — are now owned by a handful of corporations. Because of their corporate leverage they can squeeze farmers at both ends, hiking the prices for farm inputs while minimizing prices for farm products. If you buy a box of breakfast cereal, the farmer who produces the corn or other commodities receives only a few cents; the rest of the money goes to the other companies along the chain. For our farm’s vegetable operation, the way around this problem is simple. We don’t sell commodities. We sell food.

We use the community shared agriculture model. Each spring people buy a “membership” in the farm, like a vegetable subscription, and receive a box of vegetables once a week through the growing season. The people who eat our food are not “customers.” They are members. They value healthy, fresh, local food. They visit the farm for special events and sometimes work bees. They want to be part of a community that understands that ethicallyproduced food is important and that people should be able to make a living producing it. Part of the reason the CSA works is because it operates on a cost-ofproduction basis. We don’t try to produce food and then price it as low as possible to beat out other farmers. We are open with our members about how much things cost to produce, and at the end of the season they each

Aric McBay

get a report detailing how much we spent on what. Every March we open memberships up to new members, who buy a weekly vegetable share. They pay on a sliding scale, meaning people who have more money can choose to pay more and subsidize those with lower incomes. We want to make good food as affordable as possible. For us, making a living doesn’t just mean staring at the bottom line, or trying to race other farmers to the lowest price. It means looking at the big picture. We make a living because we bring the community to the farm, and the farm to the community. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. He lives and works at a mixed family farm with a dairy herd and a vegetable operation. For more about the vegetable CSA and getting a membership, visit rootradicalrows. com.

mance on Saturday, March 15 and the evening performance on Tuesday, March 18, audience talkback sessions will be held with the actors. “I really do like speaking to the audience, but I always find it funny because I think, well, didn’t I just do the play?” Johnson laughs. “I know the play fairly well and I certainly can answer questions and I’ve developed thoughts about it, but it’s still really interesting to speak to audience members right after the show because they’re still processing everything.” A Beautiful View runs March 12 – 23 with at the Baby Grand with nightly performances at 7:30 p.m., except for March 17 when there won’t be any performance. There will also be matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. For ticket information, visit www.kingstongrand.ca. Before the Saturday, March 15 matinee, members of the public are invited to take place in a symposium addressing the question, “Is Kingston an LGBT Friendly City?” This will be followed by a complimentary luncheon, and take place at the Renaissance Event Venue, 285 Brock St. from 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. (doors open at 9:30).

Becky Johnson plays the character “M” in A Beautiful View. R0012587674

Heritage News - When it comes to relationships between two people, the line between friendship and romance is often blurred, resulting in a complex web of emotions and misunderstanding. That’s the theme addressed in Daniel MacIvor’s play A Beautiful View, which will be performed by the Toronto-based company Volcano at The Baby Grand March 12 – 23. The play tells the history of a friendship between two unnamed women by depicting key episodes that occur at different points in their lives. “There’s a lot of charm, confusion and complication in their relationship,” says Becky Johnson, who plays the character “M”. “She’s definitely a very anxious, very awkward and very caring character.” For Johnson, the most challenging aspect of learning the role was the language. “The language was quite difficult to learn, which hopefully won’t be evident in the production,” she says. “MacIvor writes in this very conversational way, but it means that it’s quite difficult to bring to life because the sentences are broken apart in a very non-linear way. It’s sort of how we speak, but it’s definitely harder to memorize.” Indeed, Johnson notes that she has had many people who, upon seeing the show, have ask her how exactly

she was able to get all those lines down. “I don’t really know how I did,” she admits, noting that things like this just tend to come together. “I never really know how that works.” Other aspects of learning the play, such as its comedic tone, came more naturally for Johnson, who has a background working with the comedy troupe the Sufferettes. “For my character there are a lot of comedic moments, so that was enjoyable for me. Both characters have a lot of hidden depth in them and range, and finding all these nuances is definitely part of the process for us… There’s a lot of mystery within these characters - a very human amount of mystery - so a lot of times it’s about processing those interpretations. Volcano’s production of A Beautiful View ran in Munich in 2012, and is currently touring Ontario. After Kingston, Johnson will head with the rest of the cast and crew to Burlington, Hamilton, St. Catharines and North Bay. Previously, it they performed in Toronto. “One of the things that’s going to happen throughout the tour is the size of the stage is going to change considerably from place to place,” Johnson explains. “We don’t exactly know how it’s going to go yet. We know that in Kingston the stage is about half as long [as it is in Toronto], so we’re going to have to make some adjustments.” Following the matinee perfor-

Phantom’s power holds local filmmaker’s imagination captive By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - When local filmmaker Anthony D.P. Mann was introduced to the story of The Phantom of the Opera as a child, he knew he had discovered a literary kindred spirit. “I was nine years old when the original London cast album came out,” he recalls. “I was the short little fat kid and I had a lot of friends in school, but I always felt like a bit of an outsider. I could relate to the phantom because he’s this character who has so much to offer, but because of his own physical deficiencies he can’t have what he really, really wants.” Mann says that he listened to the LP repeatedly throughout his youth. “That did two things. First of all it got me really hooked on that story, and it turned me into a musical theatre fan at nine years old. All my friends were listening to AC/DC and Run-DMC in high school and here I was belting Lloyd Webber down the hallways.” Now, Mann has made his own film version of The Phantom of the Opera, which premieres April 12 in London, Ont. at the Shock Stock festival. Mann adapted and directed the film himself, and also plays the title role. While it does contain some original music, also written by Mann, he doesn’t describe it as a musical. “I think Phantom has become very much associated with the Lloyd Webber musical. I love the story so much and I love the musical, so I’m stepping back from that because that’s a masterpiece. You don’t want to ever step on its feet because comparisons will be immediate, and how can you

top that show?” Instead, Mann’s Phantom begins with a modern-day ghost hunting show visiting an old theatre to film a documentary about the legend of the phantom of the opera. The story as we know it – of a tortured “phantom” who lives in an opera house and tries unsuccessfully to win the heart of a young singer, Christine - unfolds through flashbacks to the 1930s, and links up with a girl who could be the reincarnation of Christine in the present day. “I think what we’re doing celebrates more the cinematic history of Phantom of the Opera, with an emphasis on the Universal films from ‘43 and ’62. They’re very much dark thrillers,” Mann says, explaining that there have been a number of film adaptations of Phantom since the first silent version in 1925. “There are so many variations on the theme of Phantom of the Opera, but there are some steadfast elements that certainly shine though in ours.” In Mann’s version, everything takes place in the fictional New England town of Garnier – a nod to Paris’ Garnier Opera House, where the original story of the phantom is set; however, it was filmed right here in Kingston at Queen’s Convocation Hall using local actors. Many of the actors, including Sherri Paterson, Terry Wade and Ilke Hincer, have worked with Mann on past projects such as Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and Ghostkeepers. “Kingston has this amazing wealth of talent,” Mann notes. “They’re local talent but they are the real deal. They’ve honed their skills and they’ve

become film actors with legitimate IMDB credits.” Like Mann’s previous films, Phantom was produced by New England-based producer Bill Bossert and will be distributed by the Hollywood company Reality Entertainment, allowing the movie to be available on DVD in stores everywhere, as well as through ondemand packages. “For the most part, everyone knows we’re doing these in Kingston but Kingston,” Mann laughs, noting that he feels extremely fortunate to be able to make money doing what he loves. “I couldn’t believe we got through film number one, then two, three and now four. I can’t believe that I still get to make films.” And things just keep on getting better. Recently, Mann signed a deal with BearManor, a US-based publisher, to write two books: a guide on how to write an indie screenplay, as well as a memoir of his personal journey into filmmaking. Mann remarks that all the success with filmmaking and writing is very exciting, but in a way it’s also rather unexpected. “I was supposed to be working on stage. When I was a kid I always wanted to be in musicals. I never thought I’d be a filmmaker. But it’s all about storytelling for me, and sometimes the best way to be able to tell the stories you want to tell is to pick up a pen and write a script. Pick up a camera, learn how to shoot something, and then produce Anthony D.P. Mann and distribute.” Directly following the London premiere of The Phantom of the Opera, Mann is organizing a gala You’ll be be You’ll screening in Kingston at the CineD D L L FOR SALE SALE O SFOR SO on the onEMC the EMC plex Odeon. The film will then run CLASSIFIEDS CLASSIFIEDS

locally at The Screening Room. To keep updated or to learn more about Anthony D.P. Mann, visit www.anthonydpmann.com.

Fencing remains best way to save turtles from being road kill, report says By Bill Hutchins Reporter

The recommended $215,000 option involves installing several hundred feet of chain link fencing on both sides of the road. The barrier would be three feet above ground and three feet below ground, plus a 45 to 90 degree lip on the top of the fence, to stop turtles from climbing or tunnelling around them. The fencing also requires spending $2,600 a year for maintenance. By comparison, message boards for both sites will cost $80,000, and flashing beacons are $20,000. While councillors don’t dispute the protective value of chain link fencing, some do have concerns about the cost to taxpayers to reduce turtle mortality rates.

“We can’t always be going to the taxpayer well for everything we do,” said Coun. Brian Reitzel, when the chain link proposal was first introduced. A follow-up report by consultant McIntosh Perry, hired by the city to review turtle safety measures, came to the following conclusions for the committee to review: turtle fences would be of little interest for vandals, damaged fencing is easy and relatively cheap to fix, fencing will not only protect the creatures but avoid risky incidents of swerving vehicles or motorists stopping to remove them from the road, and existing road guardrails don’t achieve the same purpose as specialized turtle fences.

The two Kingston streets recommended for chain link barriers are considered to have the worst turtle mortality rates, but experts say there are many other roadways where fencing could be implemented over time. Susan Irving, a wildlife rehabilitator at Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee, says of the eight turtle species in Ontario only one is not at risk. Blanding’s Turtle, Eastern Musk Turtle and the Spotted Turtle are among local turtle species considered species at risk. The environment, infrastructure and transportation committee is expected to take a second look at the options, and then send a recommendation to a future council meeting.

R0012592377

Kingston Heritage – A slow moving debate into the most cost-effective way to protect turtles from becoming road kill on busy Kingston streets is ready for a second look. A city committee will go over the options at its March 5 meeting, even though virtually nothing has changed since councillors shelved the initial report last December in order to seek more clarification on turtle safeguard costs and protective measures. Councillors will have to decide on a controversial $215,000 recommendation to install low-rise chain link fencing along two roadways where

turtles are routinely run over by cars while searching for nesting spots; Princess Street near the CN Rail overpass, and Highway 2 between Collins Bay Road and Westbrook. An estimated 40 turtles were killed last year trying to cross Princess Street at the rail overpass, between the Ambassador Hotel and TaylorKidd Boulevard. Ecology and biology experts say road signs, flashing amber beacons or message boards indicating turtle crossings are cheaper solutions, but installing low-rise barriers along busy roads that cut through marshlands are the most proven method of saving turtles from being hit by a car.

Places to explore and things to experience

A grand performance Daytripper - On March 26, a Grand Theatre audience is in for a unique evening of music provided by more than 150 local high school students. The Regiopolis-Notre Dame (RND) Senior Concert Band and the Holy Cross Symphonic Band will be the first high school bands to perform in the renovated Grand Theatre. The superb acoustics offer the best environment for listening to these multiple awardwinning groups, which are ranked among the best in the province. Hugh Johnston, music teacher and conductor of the Regi band, came up with the idea last year. “I talked to the City last spring when we were going to play at Carnegie Hall in New York City,” said Johnston. “I thought of the Grand as a practice location that would give the students the chance to get used to a concert hall setting. But the cost was prohibitive.” Then Johnston decided to look at it as a performance site. He said he’d like to see young performers have more opportunities to use the Grand. “I thought both of the bands play concerts out of the country and in other cities in nice concert halls. We should play a concert at our premier concert hall in Kingston so our fans and the parents can hear us at our best.” It finally came about and you can enjoy this fine music for a low ticket price of $10. As with other events hosted by the schools, great effort and preparation has gone into this performance. The Holy Cross band is conducted by the school’s music teacher, David Orser. Combined, the band members total more than 150. In the upcoming concert, each of the bands will perform individually, but the finale features a group performance of Amazing Grace. “When the two bands play Amazing Grace, it’s going to be a packed stage,” said Johnston. “We may have some musicians standing at the back. But the good thing about Amazing Grace is that at

the start, there’s just solo sax with a small chamber group. So even though there are about 150 kids, it starts with ten and then builds.” Coordinating three or four musicians can be challenging; 150, mind-boggling. “When one band is performing, the other group will be in the balcony,” said Johnston. “The logistical arrangement of getting 150 people set up on stage for the last song, Amazing Grace, is complicated.” The bands have prepared separately until last week when they got together at Holy Cross for a joint rehearsal and to hear the advice and critique of adjudicators. The adjudication process is a realistic critique, not a bunch of compliments on what the band is doing well, although compliments are given out where there is exceptional merit. “It was helpful to hear from the adjudicators,” said Johnston. “We wanted the nit-pickiness. Most of the time what we hear are some compliments and some recommendations, but we needed to hear the real picky comments of the adjudicators at our joint rehearsal. They even broke it down to the precise level of bars in the music, so the kids knew exactly what an adjudicator was talking about when he said, ‘at bar 138’ and made comments about the section of music. When we go to festivals in the States, it’s much like that. They expect high standards. Their students start music in Grade 4 or 6. We don’t start until Grade 9. It is possible to get them to a really high level in a couple of years, but it takes a lot of work. A lot of detail goes into their preparation.” Johnston believes that every student who wants to have a chance to learn music and perform should be given that opportunity. “My biggest philosophy is inclusion,” he said. “We want as many students in the band who want to be there to make nice music together. We don’t have

an exclusive ensemble where we’ve skimmed off the top 60 per cent. Even if someone is not there yet in their skill, but we see their potential, we work to help them learn and improve.” He said that when the school’s Honours Band goes to festivals, the students who participate have to audition. “In the end, we may be missing an instrument, but we’ve all dealt with less than perfect ensembles,” said Johnston. “When these kids go out of their way to audition, we want them to have the chance, even if the ensemble is not perfect. If you are missing Hugh Johnston conducts the Regiopolis-Notre Dame Senior Concert Band and the Holy one tuba, life goes on.

Much sadness in island community Correspondent

EMC news= Visibly moved, Fr. Ray de Souza pastor of Wolfe Island’s Sacred Heart of Mary Church, celebrated the Funeral Mass for young wife and mother, Debra Anne (Greenwood) Knox (37) . Perhaps it was the sight of Debra’s large extended family, mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, her in-laws, and her many cousins seeking comfort through their faith at the church where Debra was baptized, that bought that lump to his voice. Or was it the sight of Debra Anne’s husband Shane , tears freely flowing, holding their children Caleb and Jocelyn in his arms? The church was filled to capacity with so many friends, neighbours and saddened islanders. All had come to be healed of their raw immediate grief, to hear a message of hope, to draw comfort from the Liturgy of the Mass, the words of Scripture, the music, and shared prayer and to support the family as they carried the body of their beloved daughter, wife ,mother and sister to the cemetery. In his homily, Fr. de Souza drew from the scripture reading of Saint Paul to Timothy, read at the Mass, which says “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.” He reminded us that when you enter a race you enter to win and to finish it. “Debra won her race but finished the race too soon.” Father de Souza spoke too of the prayer group that got together to pray for the sick and the positive impact of their prayers on the community, and especially for families of the sick. Fr. Granger from Kingston and Rev. Canon Chris Carr from WI’s Trinity An-

glican were also in the sanctuary. Any one who knew Debra Anne loved her enthusiasm for life. Anyone who frequented her beauty shop heard only good things. And every story told about her speaks of her faith, her kindness, generous nature, love of family, sense of humour and pure heart. Her happiness revolved around husband and children, her large, extended island family of Greenwood’s and O’Shea’s, and Wolfe Island’s closely knit community. She will be missed. She will be remembered. But as one island resident put it, “We have had so many deaths and funerals this last while but, this one is going to take a long time to get over.” Loss of Gas Pumps on Wolfe Island a problem

Following the removal of the gas pumps at Mosier’s Garage on Wolfe Island due to their age, cost of replacement and environmental concerns, problems arose for gas and diesel users. Farmers, the Township, WI Wind Farm, Hulton’s, Roly’s and a number of individuals now have key lock tanks on their properties. The biggest losers are those who regularly bought gas at Mosier’s, and summer residents who want to fill up or buy gas for their equipment (lawn, tractors equipment, generators, etc) and for their boats.. A community meeting was organized by FCFDC with guest speaker Ross Christenson who brought ideas about solving the problem through the CO-Op approach, key lock options, commercial enterprise etc. etc. “ This is an opportunity for a community to solve its own problems but you have to make sure the economics of moving forward makes sense, (capital, investment,), and there is enough long term interest. A committee was formed to further examine

possibilities. The Committee (Jarda Zborobsky, Denis Chercuitte, Dave Woodman, absent Liz Crothers) reported to the community at a second meeting directed by Anne Pritchard. Jarda presented the results of a survey of 500 people which indicated that 57% bought gas where convenient spending $50.-$200, per month, then outlined certain options who have their own systems. Options included : * A full COOP with a convenience store; full CO-OP with attendant; a card-lock system, all with significant costs. Issues such as funding , EA’s, safety, insurance, municipal code make even the latter option difficult to consider. Another suggestion was to mix a gas outlet with other small enterprises. The Township was also suggested as best suited to sell gas to the public . Mayor Doyle said no other Ontario municipality does this; there are different environmental laws. He added that consideration might be given to use of township land but no involvement in distribution. After much discussion, a new committee will gather to further study options to bring gas for the public back to the island. Around town:

Shore birds ,small birds and even swans are suffering in this cold weather . Raptors venture to feeding outlets to pluck up a small bird now and again. * The WI ferry is keeping well to its regular schedule in spite of heavy ice and ambulance calls. * Thanks to the WIPP for staying Open all winter. * The rink schedule continues. * Spring Will Come! * And once again we say good bye, and Thank You to Gordon Burns who filled in as CAO for Frontenac Kingston Frontenacs fan Gerry Tummilo with the Poppy Memorial durIslands these last few months.

Have you ever had an adverse reaction to body, hair, or make-up products? Or have you wondered or considered what is contained in these products and how their ingredients effect not just your skin and hair, but your overall health? Sourcing and buying organic food is something that has become quite common, and something many people are interested in pursing. After all, as the saying goes, you are what you eat. But when it comes to body, facial, and hair products going organic is not always top of mind. However, it might be after you visit an organic spa. Organic spas use natural, organic products that cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. As people become more acquainted with organic food and products, natural organic spa treatments are becoming more available. It’s not just a trendy bandwagon either. The use of body, facial, hair and make-up products are rooted in organics. For centuries people concocted lotions, creams, and cleansers, long before the use of any chemical ingredients were designed 24 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, March 13, 2014

and infused into these products. For years, people have used olive oil, shea butter, lavender, seaweed, oatmeal, sea salt–just to name a few key items¬–to clean, sooth, and moisturize skin. There are many organic ingredients that have stood the test of time. Visiting an organic spa will inevitably bring you back to a less complicated time when products were in fact derived from the earth. Experiencing a treatment will make your skin feel rejuvenated, clean and soft. One question to ask yourself when wondering whether or not it is worth it to visit is an organic spa is: would you eat your product? Of course the answer will be no, but it’s important to note that what you put on your face and body will be absorbed into your skin. So while you may not ingest it, it can still effect your overall health. If you’re are looking for or are curious about organic spa treatments and products, please contact Designs by Terry at 613-634-1541 or email designbyTerry@live.ca.

Athlete of the week:

Young martial arts athlete determined to push her limits By Mark Kerr Reporter

Heritage Sports -- Dominique Picard strongly believes in the motto “do what you love.” And for her, one of those loves is martial arts. “Martial arts, I find, develops oneself to be physically, mentally and spiritually strong,” said Picard, 17. “Where people have quit, I have overcome, pushing myself to perform my best, no matter how tired I am.” The Frontenac Secondary School

student first tried martial arts four years ago. At the time, some of her family members were involved in the sport so she decided to give it a shot. She started with a Filipino style of martial arts known as “eskrima” or “arnis.” After she moved to Kingston five months later, she started her study of goju-ryu karate-do at Tallack Martial Arts. After a year, she attempted ju jitsu, kung-fu and kubudo to go with her karate training. Picard said she doesn’t prefer one style of martial arts over another.

Picard said she is grateful to have found a supportive community at Tallack Martial Arts. “The instructors are generous and always willing to teach their knowledge,” she said. “It is easy to train with peers because there is no competition between anyone. We strive to help each other obtain our goals.” After several years of learning from excellent teachers, Picard is now in a position to pay it back. She assists with multiple classes with the participants ranging in age from four

to 12 and skill level from beginner to advanced. She enjoys using the knowledge she has accumulated to help others achieve their goals. “When I teach, I have a sense of fulfillment,” Picard said. “Teaching others has been a great discovery. It built my people skills and I am certainly willing to share my knowledge with other people who love martial arts just as I do.” Picard admits some people just aren’t cut out for martial arts and end up quitting after a year. “Some people think there may be secrets of some sort to be able to fight, but they soon see there are no secrets. One must put forth the effort to attain the benefits of martial arts,” she said. That effort for Picard includes a lot of time at the dojo. She usually heads to Tallack Martial Arts after school every day and stays there until 9:30 p.m. Two and a half hours of

that time is spent on her training and the other three hours she teaches. She also trains on Saturdays. “The highlight (of my martial arts career) has come in my training when I pushed myself that extra step and accomplished it,” she said. “I am not as fond of the competitions because I see martial arts as an individual practice. I go to competitions to help prepare for tests like my black belts grading that is coming up in June.” Picard is potentially testing for her black belt in goju-ryu karate, five animal style Kung Fu, and kobu-jitsu (study of weapons). This will be presented by master instructor Ken Tallack. Do you know a local athlete who should be profiled in our weekly High School Athlete of the Week feature?

Lifestyle - Goodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on! Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money. “There is no money for such frivolities!” And how often were we told “Eat every last scrap on your plate... if you don’t you were taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian!” I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure that they lived in Arnprior! Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money, and wasn’t absolutely necessary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. And yet, we had what I called treats aplenty back in the 30’s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling outside rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house. Often it was a popper full of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Sometimes it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious. And if I had stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willy-nilly...in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It was a big glass of molasses, water and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. It fizzed up, often pouring out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night, of course, because the result of this special treat was many trips to the outside privy!! My sister Audrey called it “our winter clean out,” but to me, it was a treat. And then there was oven toast. How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top of the stove, over hot coals. Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “who would like a piece of oven toast?”, we all squealed with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove, and put everything into the hot oven. The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and I thought it was the most delicious treat Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fingers. The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until it was crisp, but not letting it brown. She knew just how to manage it all in right order, and there wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious before-bed treat than oven toast. There always seemed to be lots of homemade bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we five kids were forever fighting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point where Mother had us draw straws for this treat. And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course,

and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into little squares before piling them on a dinner plate in the middle of the table, moving the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would vanish in minutes, and we would head off to bed with sugar-filled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy. My sister Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at the table and listen to her slap the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water. It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill. When she wasn’t looking, I would go out to the summer kitchen where the pie plate of fudge was sitting, and press my finger into it, just to make sure it was hardening. If Audrey noticed the finger marks, she said nothing. That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in his own activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into little squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold. Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big flat pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow”, a special treat on a Saturday night, or Sunday afternoon. Mother of course, made sure the snow brought in from outside was nowhere near the barn yard, and well away from the house. Heaven forbid that a stray animal had put a foot within a county mile of the snow my brother brought in in the big roast pan! And the hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, let harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fingers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store! I shared a special treat with my beloved sister Audrey, that no one else in the family seemed to relish. When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dugout cellar for a meal, and the pits were all that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-hammer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton couch near the Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were store-bought candy! Even my hateful brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits! Those long ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long before cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

Extreme cold weather causes problems for maple syrup producers – but Maple Madness still going ahead as planned By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News- Believe it or not, even the trees are frustrated with this neverending winter. The beginning of March usually brings with it the joy of maple syrup season in Ontario, but this year the extreme cold weather is delaying the production. “Maple syrup production works best when there are plus temperatures during the day and freezing temperatures over night,” explained forestry expert and Queen’s professor Warren Mabee. “This allows the sap to flow and that certainly hasn’t happened this year. The season may end up being delayed significantly and then we are at risk of a really short season too.” All of this is bad news for producers of maple syrup. A shorter season means less volume, less work and less money. There is also the tourism aspect. Many Canadians look forward to maple syrup season and going out to a local farm to see how it’s made, sampling the fresh product and enjoying the experience. Here in Kingston, many people look forward to Maple Madness, the annual March break event at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area and over the past week they have received countless phone calls asking if the events are still proceeding as normal. Rest assured, events are still going forward as planned, but things may be a bit different this year. “Mother nature is not really cooperating this year,” said Krista Fazackerley, who works in communications and mar-

keting for the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA). “We’ve tapped the trees because we are a demonstration centre, so we tap regardless. We are not a production facility, so it doesn’t bother us as much, but it will be a bit of a different experience this year, that’s for sure.” This is Fazackerley’s first Maple Madness with CRCA, but her family also produces maple syrup on their property in North Frontenac. This is the first winter in quite a few years that she can remember the season being this late. “My family can’t even get back in the bush yet to tap the trees,” she said. “There is just too much snow this year and we can’t get the tractor into the bush without getting stuck, so hopefully we get some melt soon.” While this winter has been particularly rough, Mabee warns that these things will keep happening as our weather becomes more and more unpredictable. “Maple syrup is just one tiny corner of the food industry that may be affected by these unpredictable weather patterns. Similar changes will have impacts across the agricultural sector and we can expect to see more and more of them in the coming years,” explained Mabee. “We saw a Krista Fazackerley stands next to a recreation of the method the pioneers used to create maple syrup. This similar thing happen a few years ago with station and more are part of the activities that people can come out and see during Maple Madness at Little tomatoes in Florida and oranges in CaliPhoto/Mandy Marciniak. fornia.

Pulse All-Star Cheerleading hopes to continue winning all the way to Nationals By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Members of the Pulse All-Star cheerleading club certainly had something to cheer about on March 2; the club sent all five of their allstar teams to the Provincial Championships and all five teams came home with first place awards. “We won everything and that was so amazing for us,” exclaimed owner of Pulse, Shari Doherty. “All of them came in first and we received a few specialty awards too, including one called the ‘squeaky clean award’. There were over 300 teams at the competition and one of our teams received the award for having the cleanest performance. That was really exciting. Our “minis” also received the highest score for their entire division.” The results are pretty impressive for a cheerleading club that has only been around for three years. Doherty, who owns the club with her husband, attributes all of the success of Pulse to her two head coaches, Claire Running and Tara Timmins. “It has been so great over these past few years and these girls are just amazingly talented. They are the magic of this club and they really make everything happen. They had both coached at Holy Cross for a very long time and they both cheered there as athletes when they were students and now they are using that talent and knowledge to build Pulse.”

Along with their five all-star teams, Pulse also runs a recreational team and coaches the Frontenac Fury, a dance/ cheer support team for the Kingston Frontenacs. Running and Timmins coach all of the teams and nothing brings them more joy than seeing the teams succeed and progress over the years. “I love watching my athletes succeed. I am always so excited for them and I just lose my mind, I really can’t control my excitement for them,” explained Running. “I know how hard they’ve worked for it and we’ve been in the gym every week with them and when they get on the mat and they execute it and they hit it, I just can’t explain that feeling. It is absolutely overwhelming.” Pulse is also unique in its approach to building cheer teams. The club does not hold tryouts. They accept anyone who wants to cheer. “We have team placements and we have everyone come during placement week. We place participants with others who have similar skills, similar experience levels and similar ages. We have never turned away an athlete that wants to cheer and we never will. That makes us even more proud when they succeed because it shows us that we can achieve that level of success with anyone. We have so many kids that have never cheered before and we have gotten them to that level.” The formula is obviously working and Pulse’s all-star teams will be moving on to National Championships in April. Last

Members of the Pulse All-Star senior team celebrating their Provincial win on March 2. year, their senior team became National Champions for the first time and Running is hoping to add even more banners to their wall of wins this year. “Hopefully there will be many more

National banners up on our wall soon. Now we are really getting noticed by other clubs and people are seeing that we are a force in the cheerleading competition world. I’m so excited for what the

future holds for us and seeing how far these athletes can go.” For more information on Pulse AllStar Cheerleading, visit their website at www.pulseallstar.com

Window Coverings make a statement in your Home Windows are the ‘eye of the home that frames the view of the outside world’ and window covering options are endless depending on your personal style, budget and needs. From the ornate and detailed to simple and classic, a window covering can be the focal point of any room or simply just blend into the background. Window coverings also serve a functional purpose helping to control how much light comes into any room, minimize drafts, and improve energy efficiency and privacy features.

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! The design experts at Tall Pines Interiors can work with you in determining the most beautiful window covering option for your space.

Why can’t NHL hockey be like the Olympics? By Jeff McGuire Columnist

Lifestyle – The headline mirrors my thoughts after watching the Canadian men’s team, made up entirely of National Hockey League stars, skate to a gold medal finish during the 22nd Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia last month. Meanwhile the Canadian women struck gold for an unprecedented fourth straight time and in even more dramatic fashion. What incredibly good hockey it was! Canada winning both competitions made it even better of course. But the fact is the sport has never had a better showcase than during the final games of both the men’s and women’s tournaments. No worries about judging and poor marking. Just good old “fire wagon” hockey with all four teams involved doing their level best to top the podium. Our women’s come-from-behind 3-2 overtime victory against arch rival the United States is the stuff of sports legends. With time quickly winding down in the third period Team Canada trailed the Americans 2-0. The Canadian ladies refused to quit scoring twice, including the tying goal with under a minute remaining and our goalie on the bench in favour of an extra attacker. During that incredible closing sequence Canadians held their collective breath as a shot from a U.S. player traveled slowly but surely toward the empty Team Canada cage. Call it “luck” or “divine intervention” – call it whatever you want! The rubber disc rattled harmlessly off a goal post and was cleared out of harm’s way. That’s how close the Americans came to winning. As all interested Canadians know, that set the stage for Marie-Philip Poulin to take

her place in Olympic hockey history. Her powerplay goal at 8:10 of overtime completed a truly amazing comeback. It was her second goal in less than 10 minutes of play. Poulin, 22, a native of Beauceville, Quebec had also netted the tying marker with 55 seconds left in regulation. Poulin was also the heroine in Vancouver in 2010 when Canada played host to the 21st Olympic Winter Games. She scored twice to pace the host country to its third consecutive gold medal in women’s hockey, a 2-0 decision over the U.S. In Sochi our women earned gold for the fourth straight time at the Winter Olympics. A truly amazing feat! The Canadian men further inflated national pride with their workmanlike 3-0 shutout win over Sweden in the gold medal game in Russia. Chalk up a second straight golden performance for our national men’s team. At times it seemed the Swedes would never control the puck. That’s how dominant their performance was! In the final, goalie Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens earned his second straight shutout. He had blanked the Americans 1-0 in the semi-finals. Great defence Price was sensational as Canada used great defence to augment its stellar offensive work. The big goalie only allowed three goals in five tournament games, all of them Canadian victories. In fact Price kicked out 123 of the 126 shots he faced in the short but intense competition. Canada used the same defensive model to score wins over Norway, Austria, Finland (the eventual bronze medalists) and Latvia. On the men’s side the end result is that Canada is the first nation to claim back-to-

back gold at the Winter Olympics since NHL players first began participating in the Olympics in 1998. Also, just for the record, the back-toback gold medals on the men’s side are the first for Canada since our amateur teams accomplished the feat at the 1948 and 1952 Winter Olympics – before I was even born! Our Sochi success in men’s hockey is easily the best performance by a Canadian team in Russia since the historic 1972 ‘Summit Series’ featuring Canada and the USSR. Just in case you have forgotten, we won that series. Perhaps you have seen Paul Henderson’s series winning goal somewhere at some time? Yes, I am being facetious! Now for the point of this week’s reflection. The headline underlines my thinking after watching the men’s hockey final at the Olympics. Why can’t the NHL offer hockey of such outstanding quality on a regular basis? I think the answer is they could, if there was any will on the part of the league hierarchy to move in such an “ambitious direction.” But what exactly is the NHL’s ambition? Personally I can’t figure it out. In so many cases mediocrity rules when it comes to the path the league is now following. I have already stated my opinion about fighting in the NHL so I won’t belabour that for long. But my point remains. The league brass should be working to reduce fighting in the sport for the benefit of fans and the many skilled players who inhabit their 30 teams. We saw what skilled NHLers can deliver in Sochi and it was wonderful to witness. No fighting or nonsense during hockey

games at the Winter Olympics. Any team that gets into that has zero chance of success. I didn’t see any “enforcers” on the ice in Sochi either. What a blessing that was. So, why isn’t the same formula applied in the NHL? Personally I am tired of hearing that the only way hockey can be sold to the American audience is by promoting “the physical part of the game.” That’s just an excuse to allow the scourge of fighting to have a place in a sport where it clearly doesn’t belong. I have no problem with physical hockey. Body contact is part of the game and it can be done cleanly. So, put the right penalties in place and fighting would be very quickly drummed out of the NHL. That would speed up a game that is being slowed down and damaged because league officials continue to encourage this nonsense. You certainly don’t see fighting regularly in the National Football League or the National Basketball Association. And if you fight in soccer (the world’s leading team sport) the consequences are incredibly severe. Why not clear the ice for skilled players and let the enforcers find their true home in mixed martial arts or the wrestling ring? Reward success I also feel the current overtime and shootout provisions in the NHL need to be reworked. Poor teams are benefiting from overtime losses. If this system has to continue then at least reward winning teams with three points and separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Preferably I would like to see teams who win in regulation or overtime awarded two points while the losing team would

not receive a single point. It would be great to see shootouts eliminated entirely. That would soon open up the standings! Another idea I have read and like is that the NHL use percentages in the standings, just as they do in Major League Baseball. If that were done a quick look at the league standings would quickly tell you who the best teams are. Percentages in sports don’t lie! As it stands the NHL teams with the least talent are forced to play a defensive style which reduces many games to shear boredom. Those teams in turn can benefit from the “luck” which often determines shootouts. A few players are good in the shootout phase, many are not. Yes, for my money the NHL should be working to emulate what happened during the recent Winter Olympics. That was hockey at its finest and on the men’s side the participants were mainly NHLers. Instead the bright lights at NHL headquarters and in league boardrooms, are actually considering not allowing their players to participate in the next games in South Korea. The Olympics “interrupts the regular season and is too hard on the teams who are hot at the time of the break.” That’s what the “experts” are saying as they try to make a case for NHLers to skip the Winter Olympics. That would be diabolical considering what we just witnessed in Russia! Canadian fans in particular had better hope that idea doesn’t take hold. If it does it could be another 60-plus years before we see back-to-back gold medals won by our men’s teams at the Winter Olympics.

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

May the road rise to meet you Enchanté - The week of the Irish is upon us. For many, that means revelry. For others, it’s a simpler celebration of all things Irish: Brendan Behan, James Joyce and other literary greats; Liam Neeson, Saoirse Ronan, Brian O’Byrne and the horde of Irish actors gracing the world’s stages and screens; Eithne Ní Bhraonáin (Enya), U-2, The Pogues and hundreds of other musicians; and thousands of arts and cultural events around the world. The Celtic thought process is not like that of the left-brain-dominant world. Irish thought resembles the Celtic knot, twisting and turning with a glorious lilt. And nowhere is that lilt more obvious than in the language. The Irish culture in which I grew up is based on language and storytelling. We listen to our parents, grandparents and favorite aunts and uncles telling us grand tales and elaborate jokes. But starting in the 17th century, our language was made illegal, banned. Speaking Irish could get you jail time and a good beating. A few other gems in the collection of England’s Irish Penal Laws included the Irish being banned from: public office; legal professions; teaching; holding firearms; buying land; and ownership of a horse valued at more than five British pounds. During a lengthy period in the 18th century the Irish, barely being considered human, were not even allowed to vote. These laws were carefully crafted to harden the power and privilege of a class of English elite. Native Irish were reduced to a life of subsistence living. The last of the ways to oppress the Irish was the system of National Schools, created in 1831. Children were only taught in English. Any child caught speaking Irish suffered brutal punishment. And finally, an Gorta Mor (the Great Hunger) struck between 1846 and 1849. It is estimated that a third of the Irish population died, while beef and plentiful crops were shipped to England. The potato crops, on which native Irish depended

removed, it doesn’t take much research to discover that there might be a link to the Irish word sí, pronounced “she.” Sí is the third person feminine pronoun in Irish Gaelic. How about the word boycott? Not from the Irish language, but from an Irish act of rebellion. Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott was an English land agent in Ireland. In 1880, the oppressive and cruel landlord was the recipient of Irish tactics. Boycott’s tenants withdrew their labor in an uprising against him. Then there’s the vulgar calling of someone you don’t like an a--hole. Here again, there is an Irish origin that has nothing to do with the lower end of the digestive tract. The Irish word for donkey is asal and it’s a common insult in Irish to call someone a donkey. By the mid-19th century, millions of Irish left the country for other lands like North America, Australia and New Zealand. Their language accompanied them. Thousands of words remain listed as “origin unknown” in English language dictionaries, simply because the Irish language as a source is ignored. Here are some examples. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) notes that the words snaz/ snazz and snazzy mean polish, gloss, elegance, style and so on, yet they are listed as “origin unknown.” However, the Irish word snas (pronounced snas or snaz) means polish, gloss, elegance, style. The connection, although ignored by dictionary linguists, is glaring. Here are a few more. The word slum has an Irish source: slom, meaning an exposed, vulnerable place, an impoverished place, a poor life. The same goes for the English word scam; the Irish word scam means deceit or trick. Helter skelter in English means in defiance of order. The Irish words áilteoir scaoilte mean a runamok clown or a wild prankster. The word scram, our English word for get away or leave hastily can be traced to the Irish scaraim, meaning “I get away,” “I escape,” or “I depart.” Irish culture’s storytelling heavily influences music, song lyrics, melodies

for life, failed. The Irish Famine is one of the greatest lies ever written in history. Amidst food aplenty, the Irish died and were carted to mass graves in wooden carts. In the town of Skibbereen alone, a mass grave the size of a football field, covered in shamrocks, holds thousands of corpses from an Gorta Mor. Rebellion brewed in this background. It wasn’t until 1920, when much of the Republic of Ireland violently split from England, that Ireland became free of the last of the Penal Laws. At the middle of the 19th century, the majority of speakers in Ireland were still Gaelic. By the beginning of the 20th century, the language had been decimated. However, pockets of Irish-only communities remained in more isolated areas of Ireland’s west coast. Today, these regions, known as Gaeltachtaí, are expanding, thanks to a resurgence of the language and the fact that the Republic of Ireland is a bilingual country that has schools offering Irish-immersion programs. With this historical background, it is little wonder that the Irish language contributions to English have been ignored in modern dictionaries. Most of the world’s English language dictionaries were first established in England. Since the Irish were considered lower than second-class citizens with about the same – or fewer – rights than animals, and the speaking of the Irish language was illegal, there was no way the creators of dictionaries were going to consider that the Irish language influenced English. Until the past decade or so, no one knew the origins of many English words. Countless colorful English words and sayings can be traced to the Irish Gaelic language of our immigrant ancestors galore. And here we’ll start. The word galore, which, in English, means abundant or plentiful, hails from the Irish Gaelic term go leor (and the Scots Gaelic gu leòr), meaning abundant or a lot. The feminine pronoun she is considered in almost all dictionaries to be of unknown origin. When racist blinders are

In just this one cemetery, 9000 coffinless and nameless corpses were buried in a mass grave. An Gorta Mor decimated the Irish-speaking population. Above: Celtic crosses overlook Abbeystrewry Cemetery in Skibbereen, Ireland Photos/Mark Bergin and the vernacular of musicians. Even the word jazz, which typically is listed as “source unknown,” has been traced to the Irish language. The early spelling of jazz was jass. The word now describes an African-American style of music. In its early usage, it meant passion, heat, something or someone hot or exciting, and also referred to sex. The first known use of the word was the Original Dixieland Jass Band, which comprised Irish, Sicilian and other workingclass lads from New Orleans. The word “jass,” to describe a certain style of music, traveled from New Orleans to the redlight districts of San Francisco, Chicago and New York. This hot, passionate new music took on the label of jass music, and it wasn’t long before it was relabeled as jazz (“z” seeming more exotic). But its first use was back in New Orleans by the Jass Band with the Irish musicians saying

the Irish word teas, which, you guessed it, is pronounced “jass/jazz”. In other words, this early band in New Orleans was simply using an Irish word of the streets, jass, to describe their music: passionate, hot, exciting. For those interested in exploring the impact of the Irish language on English a couple of good books with which to start are Daniel Cassidy’s How The Irish Invented Slang: The Secret Language of the Crossroads (Counter Punch, 2007) and Loreto Todd’s Green English: Ireland’s Influence on the English Language (Irish Books and Media, 1999). Happy Day (and week) of the Irish. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

Car owner plagued with emission light staying on Brian Turner

Car Counsellor bjoeturner@hotmail.com

Lifestyle - “Hi Brian I’ve been plagued with this yellow emission light staying on (my 2004 BMW 645ci) for several months now and have so far thrown almost $500 to solve the problem with no resolution. The sequence is – as soon as I start the engine the large yellow engine light comes on, then in about 10 seconds it goes off and the smaller yellow engine light comes on in the upper section of the dash and stays on as long as the engine is running. Both mechanics have advised that all the components of the secondary emission operation are okay and have cleaned the hoses to preclude a possible clogging of the hoses. They have also cleared both air injection pipes at the rear of the cylinder head. In addition they told me the trouble code that kept coming back was 2060. They also checked secondary air pump

operation, the air injection hoses, connectors, and valves and they reset the computer. The yellow increased emission light popped right back on after I left the shop. I plan on getting some quality gas additive for the next time I have to fill my tank and see if that helps clean the engine a bit. Can you offer any further steps I can suggest to the mechanic?” Thanks K From the info you’ve supplied it seems your techs have been working on the BMW’s secondary air system (an air injection system designed to improve engine performance and emissions). The 645 of your era had more than its share of problems with this system, usually due to leaks in any number of the hoses, lines, fittings and connectors that are routed in the engine bay and under the engine’s intake manifold. However the code 2060 refers to an electrical fault in the air injection system, not necessarily a hose or connection problem. An electrical fault almost always sparks a check engine light

that comes on right after start up as the vehicle’s various control computers immediately run a series of self-tests on various components and systems. For every fault code there is a diagnostic chart that leads the tech through a series of tests and inspections to narrow the cause. For code 2060 it would most likely involve testing certain wires and connectors for continuity and power and to test any electrical activators, valves, or pumps for operation. When you get into a problem like this it’s critical that your shop has experience in these systems on your particular make and model and access to up to date diagnostic charts and wiring diagrams. For a BMW 645 the single resource with all of that is usually a BMW dealership. I doubt if changing your fuel type will help with this problem (although these BMW’s like their progresses premium fuel).

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – This week you need to be the follower instead of the leader, Aries. It may be difficult to go against your normal grain, but it is for the best. Keep an open mind. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Your confidence may wane sometime this week, Taurus, but some friends will boost your morale to help you get back on your feet. Saturday will be a big day. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, certain things that have to get done this week are out of your realm of expertise. Do your best to tackle these projects but have a helper on hand just in case. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, you have a lot on your plate, but you don’t know where to start. Make a list of your tasks, and it will help you better tackle one thing at a time until you are all done. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, learn to laugh at yourself as a means to relieving stress. Things can’t always be serious, so ligthen up and take some time to relax. Work with Virgo this week. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Give yourself a much-deserved break, Virgo. You’ve been working nonstop for the last several months, and now is a great time to take a vacation or enjoy a weekend getaway. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – You don’t have all of the answers, Libra, so don’t even think about saying you do. Relationship concerns are at the forefront of your mind lately. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, it might be hard to bite your tongue, but that’s just what you have to do this week. Wait until you are called on for help before you get involved. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Take a few days to get all of your affairs in order, Sagittarius. Use this time to adjust to some changes that have happened over the last several weeks. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Burning the candle at both ends again, Capricorn? This is not the best way to get things done. Take a more steady approach, and give yourself time to recover. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, you can’t put your finger on it, but something positive seems to be on the horizon. The truth will reveal itself in the next few days. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Pisces, fight against the current for something you truly believe in. Unexpected events arise on Thursday.
