OMB hears challenge to Kingston’s electoral boundary bylaw By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – With the battle lines drawn, it’s now up to a provincial board to determine the shape of Kingston’s municipal election map. The quasi-judicial Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) spent the past week hearing testimony from nearly 20 councillors, citizens and neighbourhood groups over controversial changes to the city’s 12 electoral districts. A contentious bylaw adopted by council in a close 7-6 vote last April aims to eliminate a downtown district in order to expand representation in the west end suburbs. In doing so, council decided not to include post-secondary students in the population count, a common practice in most university towns. “We are not arguing that students shouldn’t be counted as constituents. The

issue before the Board is the division of electoral wards in the city,” clarified lawyer Tony Fleming, who was hired to defend the city’s bylaw. The Sydenham District Association, Queen’s University Alma Mater Society and a local resident appealed the bylaw to the OMB, while a dozen others were granted participant status. Board chairperson Sylvia Sutherland, a former mayor of Peterborough, listened to arguments for and against the bylaw during hearings held in the council chamber. “I’ve always maintained that I thought there was a very good chance the council bylaw would be overturned in favour of option 4,” said Sydenham councillor Bill Glover, who spoke at the hearing. Coun. Glover stands to have his own district wiped off the municipal map if the bylaw is upheld by the OMB, as Sydenham and Williamsville districts

would merge into one for the 2014 election. Coun. Glover says his choice of Option 4, as presented by staff last spring, would preserve both campus area districts and reflect college and university students in the population count. Instead, council went with Option 1, which shrinks the number of downtown districts and excludes students. The city’s lawyer argues that either option is legal and justifiable. “Staff’s position was that all of the options presented to council were defensive, reasonable and provided effective representation. It was two different ways of looking at the same problem,” Fleming explained. However, students and neighbourhood groups see it differently. They say not formally including thousands of postsecondary students is an affront to local democracy and disenfranchises them. Many complain the district changes will

place a greater workload on downtown councillors because their revamped districts may not reflect student numbers but their phone calls and emails will. During his testimony, Coun. Glover noted that downtown councillors tend to champion more student-friendly issues such as transit, cycling lanes and property standards than their suburban counterparts, which may be difficult to do if the west end gains more voting clout around the horseshoe. “My sense is the strongest support for those sorts of things come from downtown councillors,” he testified. But Glover would not make a guess as to how much of his time is taken up responding to student issues versus those of other residents. Former councillor Joyce MacLeodKane, who also addressed the OMB, spoke in favour of including students.

Non-profit group wants to turn Kingston Pen into its ‘Habitat’ for three weeks By Bill Hutchins Reporter

A cell block in Kingston Pen.

R0012379489

Kingston Heritage – Kingston Penitentiary may not be closing its doors for public tours just yet. Corrections Canada has offered Habitat for Humanity Canada, a national non-profit organization, its own threeweek window to sell tickets for tours of the mothballed maximum security prison between Oct. 30 and Nov. 17. The organization is currently scrambling to get enough volunteers in place so it can take paying visitors through the historic prison on daily tours that would tentatively run between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. No details of ticket pricing and purchase information will be confirmed after the volunteer status is known. “We will share more information if and when details become available,” said a statement on Habitat Canada’s website. The public’s fascination to get inside Canada’s oldest prison has already turned into a goldmine for the local United Way, which raised more than $150,000 during three weeks of public tours ending Oct. 20. About 9,000 tickets sold out within hours after going on sale at $20 apiece. Habitat may be able to cash in on the fundraising tours as well, provided it can recruit a small army of volunteers to greet people and give guided tours behind the walls. Just like the United Way’s experience, Habitat must

measure the level of volunteer interest before confirming the dates and ticket details. Habitat’s website says it’s seeking volunteer tour guides who enjoy meeting and working with the public, don’t mind standing for long periods or working outside in late fall conditions, and it says previous knowledge or involvement in Habitat or Kingston Pen is not mandatory. Training will be provided. Information on the Kingston Penitentiary volunteer recruitment can be found at Habitat Canada’s website or Facebook page. In the meantime, those who missed out on the first round of tours with the United Way are eagerly awaiting details from Habitat on how to obtain tickets for prison tours that were scheduled to begin the day before Halloween. Habitat’s mission is to provide lowincome Canadians with decent and affordable housing by building homes using volunteer labour and donated materials. Potential homeowners provide 500 hours of “sweat equity” to assist in the construction. The local chapter has placed 13 families in homes since it was founded in Kingston in 1994. Habitat for Humanity affiliates have a long partnership with Corrections Canada and CORCAN, its construction training arm, by providing kitchen fixtures for Habitat’s housing projects while giving inmates a chance to learn cabinet making and other skills.

City receives grant to complete Brownfield study of Davis Tannery lands By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – The city is taking steps to eliminate some of the Brownfield risks in order to spur development of the old industrial property known as the Davis Tannery lands. “We want to take away some of the unknowns and risks with respect to the Davis Tannery and how that property can be redeveloped,” explained Cynthia Beach, commissioner of corporate and strategic initiatives. Kingston has just received a $38,100 grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities under its Green Municipal Fund. The money will help the city complete a phase two environmental site assessment which includes an archaeology study, tree inventory and utility capacity. “The money will allow us to pull together all of the work done over the years, make sure archaeology work is complete and that all the site investigation studies are done before we launch a RFP (Request for Proposals),” she explained. The city does not own the 15 hectare (37 acre) property along the Inner Harbour - bordered by River Street to the south, Rideau Street to the west, Belle Park to the north and the Cataraqui River to the east - but is actively

trying to come up with a vision for its future development. The century-old Tannery, once the largest of its kind in the British Empire, was the scene of heavy industrial uses from 1867 to 1970, and has remained vacant ever since it closed. Even though decades of heavy metal contamination have left the site unattractive to potential buyers, who may not want to assume the environmental risks, the location is considered a strategic property. City officials say it has enormous potential for residential infill, transportation connections to the downtown, waterfront trails and public parkland. The Tannery lands are just one kilometre from the downtown. “That site could probably accommodate one years’ worth of growth. Obviously it wouldn’t all be built out in one year,” said Beach. It’s believed the southern portion can accommodate up to 790 homes – a mix of single-family houses and apartments as high as 10 storeys. The northern portion is deemed a provincially significant wetland that borders Belle Park. The city was owed a couple of million dollars in back taxes since the owners walked away from the factory site four decades ago. Rideau Renewal Inc. currently owns the Davis Tannery

lands, which it acquired through a municipal tax sale in 2006. However, the company has been unable to proceed with any kind of development. “Right now, they’ve indicated they are not going to develop the site. We will see if there are other potential buyers/developers,” said Beach. According to the most recent timeline, the city plans to issue the RFP by April 2014 and let council choose the winning proponent by next summer. “We are hoping to issue a RFP and get some answers within this term of council,” Beach confirmed. City officials say they have never tried harder to unlock the site’s potential for development and public access. Beach says by doing most of the site investigation studies up front much of the risk will be eliminated and there will be

OMB hears challenge to Kingston’s electoral boundary bylaw “Students should be counted. It’s very clear. If students shouldn’t be counted then why did the mayor try to get students to have a separate seat on council?” Bylaw supporters argue there is no solid scientific data to show where students live off campus and, therefore, no accurate way to include them in the 12 redrawn districts, which will average about 10,100 residents per district. The decision, however, does not exclude students from registering and voting in municipal elections. “Staff had a very difficult time finding accurate, reliable numbers for students. Every municipality in Ontario that I’m aware of does not include post-secondary students in population counts when they create their ward boundaries,” Fleming added. A few days into the OMB hearing, Sydenham District Association’s Ken Ohtake voiced confidence in the joint appeal, which is costing $50,000. “I think our points are coming across.” The OMB is expected to make a final ruling on whether the city’s revamped boundaries are valid prior to Dec. 31, the deadline for the changes to be in place for next fall’s civic elections. Fleming added: “The board has assured us that we will have a decision prior to the end of this year.”

tered or draft approved residential building applications, plus enough land to handle 10 years of pending growth. City planners say much of the future growth will occur in the area bordered by Sydenham Road, Princess Street, Collins Bay Road and Highway 401. According to the study, Kingston can expect 2,034 units (single family, semis, townhouses and apartments) to be built over the next three years. The figure is based on the yearly average of 678 housing units built in Kingston between 2002 and 2012. The city is also on track to reach that number this year. “As of June 30, 2013, permits were issued for 457 residential units,” according to the planning report. City planners say the report is one of many being done to determine Kingston’s current and future growth needs. They point out several pockets of land that may be suitable for future housing, but not factored in to the latest study, including the former Alcan property, Davis Tannery and the North Block. “These lands would play an important role in the intensification within the urban boundary and some of these lands may need municipal incentives in order to be developed.”

Wave of Light ceremony remembers very young lives Tuesday’s ceremony. Some spoke with other parents, some took pictures of their candles, and some offered prayers. “I am over-the-moon thrilled with how the event went,” says Amber. “I am very proud of myself, and my husband, and my family, and those who came. It was sweet, and touching, sad, but still beautiful.” Amber is already working on plans for next year’s Wave of Light ceremony. She is hoping to run fundraisers throughout the year to make the event “bigger and better.” In the long term, Amber hopes that Angel’s Kiss can continuing supporting parents in the community and perhaps begin in-person outreach. “Maybe someday even hosting live support groups where people can connect one-on-one with others who have been through this,” says Amber. “And we would love to eventually have a small memorial erected for the parents of pregnancy and infant loss to go to reflect and honour, and to remember.” For now, though, Amber is most concerned with offering ongoing support to parents. “Lets talk about it, stop hiding it. I want to break the silence about pregnancy and infant loss.” To learn about Angel’s Kiss and the support that they offer, visit www.angelskiss.webs.com or search Angel’s Kiss on Facebook.

Heritage News - On Oct. 15, members from the community came together in Churchill Park to commemorate Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day and offer their support to one another. Parents who have lost a child due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, sudden infant death syndrome, or experienced the death of a newborn were all invited to join the Wave of Light ceremony, which is celebrated internationally. Angel’s Kiss, the organizing group behind Kingston’s ceremony, is an online support forum in town for parents who have experienced such a loss. “With an average of one in every four pregnancies ending in loss, there is no need for anyone to feel alone,” says Angel’s Kiss founder Amber LeBlanc. She and her husband, Matthew, lost their child at 11 weeks and six days gestation. Amber says, “When I went in search of support I realized that Kingston was lacking in support and resources for moms and dads suffering a loss such as this. So I decided to do something about it. I wanted to give meaning to the death of my baby. I wanted his or her life to have meant something, not just to me or my husband, not just to our family, but to the world.” She founded Angel’s Kiss in 2012. Currently,Angel’s Kiss offers three private support forums: one for grievCOACH & TOURS ing mothers, one for grieving fathers, and one for couples that are trying to conceive again following a loss. This year was their first year hosting a Wave of Light ceremony.

In Our Opinion

Black Cat Love Mandy Marciniak Reporter mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Editorial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I never really liked cats. I was always a dog lover growing up and although we had two cats I was never overly fond of them. All of that changed a few years ago when my husband, Korey and I decided to get a cat. He originally belonged to Koreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, but she decided that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him. He was found in a barn and was the cutest little black ball of fur, but nobody else was willing to take him. He was facing a trip to the humane society when we decided to step in. We named him Einstein and I fell in love with him almost immediately. Cats are a totally different experience when you are an adult. Yes they are cute and cuddly and fun to play with, but they are also extremely intelligent and insightful, traits that kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully understand or respect. It still amazes me sometimes how clever and curious he is. Shortly after Einstein joined our little family, I became aware of the mistreatment of black cats. I thought the myths of black cats being bad luck and evil were ancient history,

but I was wrong. There are still many people who are superstitious about black cats and the humane society struggles each year to get black cats adopted. As a result, they are often the most commonly euthanized kind of cat. With Halloween upon us, I decided to do more research into this ridiculous form of discrimination. I learned that the superstitions are still so prevalent that the humane society actually screens adopters more heavily around Halloween in fear that the cats are being adopted for the holiday and mistreated. I find this appalling. In ads posted online, black cats are listed with a plea for people to look past the color of their fur and embrace them. Humane societies and shelters even go as far as having special sales (not around Halloween) on black cat adoptions in an effort to get them into homes and out of shelters. The discrimination even extends to black dogs, for whatever reason. The superstition surrounding black cats varies and is primarily a North American cultural belief. In Great Britain, Scotland and Japan black cats are thought to be good luck and in some cases are even considered signifiers of prosper-

ity. In Germany, some believe that a black cat crossing your path from right to left is bad luck but from left to right good luck. In North America, black cats are still thought to be associated with witches and evil doings. As with everything, beliefs vary by country and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as someone who is not superstitious at all in fact, my first date with Korey was on a Friday the 13 th - I simply do not understand the rationale behind the discrimination against these beautiful animals. Einstein is affectionate and friendly, just like any other cat, but because of the colour of his fur he could have been overlooked at a shelter or worse, maybe even euthanized. With the movement away from pets being sold in pet stores and adoption of pets from shelters becoming the new norm, I hope that black cats will also get the positive attention they deserve. They are just as lovable as orange or white catsâ&#x20AC;Ś maybe even more so. So this Halloween, if you see a black cat, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run away or react with horror, think about them as another feline friend that deserves the same kind of love and attention you would give to any other cat.

Hamburgers and chicken wings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be a better way Craig Bakay Reporter editorial@theheritageemc.ca

like, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that they were really cheap and you could probably sell a cardboard box covered in barbecue sauce if it were cheap enough. But no, corporate America had to jump on the bandwagon, approach it as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d found something really valuable (and of course promote it that way) and the next thing you know, chicken wings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap any more. Essentially, corporate America found a way to sell crap and make people think it was a good thing. This, of course, happens all the time. Take hamburgers for example. When I was a kid (before there was McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or even A & W for that matter), I wanted a hamburger mostly because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Wimpy on the old Popeye cartoons ate. He ate them because they were cheap. My father wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat hamburgers because he said they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;ersatz.â&#x20AC;? Ersatz being a German word for â&#x20AC;&#x153;substituteâ&#x20AC;? which was frequently applied to the stuff prisoners of war were fed in the First World War. Often it was made from potato starch and sawdust. Now nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accusing the good folks

in the hamburger industry of selling sawdust, but think about it. Does tenderloin or T-bone ever get ground up into hamburger? Granted there have been ill-advised attempts to grind up sirloin and charge an arm and a leg for it, but essentially hamburger ends up being all the stuff nobody wanted otherwise being ground up and forced through a Play-Doh machine. But, somebody figured out that if you shaped this stuff into a patty, fried the hell out it, put it between two thick pieces of bread and added a bunch of sauces, it could be quite palatable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not gourmet fare mind you, but palatable. Again, the major attraction was price. You could get a pile of ground meat for next to nothing and sell it for a little bit more than you paid for it if you made a hamburger out of it. And, just the same, corporate America wrongly concluded that people really like these things, promoted the hell out of them and ended up making hamburgers cost as much as real food. So, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not take this any more. Stop paying for hamburger and chicken wings what you would pay for steak and breasts. The world will be a better place.

It used to be that chicken wings were really cheap. You could get a slew of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em for next to nothing and that was because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that much meat on them and what is there is hardly breast or thigh fare. Then, some guy in Buffalo thought about covering them in barbecue sauce and selling them for next to nothing in bars. The barbecue sauce made them palatable and again . . . they were cheap. Along comes corporate America and observes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;gee, people are eating these chicken wings.â&#x20AC;? They, as they usually do, did some wonky thinking and wrongly concluded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;gee, people must like chicken wings.â&#x20AC;? See, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really the wings people

8 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, October 31, 2013

Safe travels to all ghouls and goblins on Halloween Gazette Editorial - Did you know that the practice of trick or treating in North America can be traced back to our very own Limestone City? Ritualized door-to-door begging by children in disguises was first recorded here in 1911, predating all other mentions of the practice across Canada and the U.S. It is thought that trick or treating may be derived from the medieval practice of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;soulingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the morning of All Souls Day (Nov. 2), where the poor would go from house to house and promise prayers for the familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recently departed in exchange for food or money. There are also reports of American children begging from door-to-door on both Guy Fawkes Day before the American Revolution, and, later, on Thanksgiving. We would like to remind our readers that times have changed quite a bit since then, and certain precautions are necessary before venturing out into that great spooky darkness:

2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9)

First and foremost, one should always go trick-or-treating with an adult or a friend. The Kingston Police Force advises treat-or-treaters who do not go with an adult should draw two maps of their planned route, giving one to their guardians and keeping ones for themselves. Wear light coloured clothing so that motorists and others can see you. Bring a Flashlight, and make sure to have new batteries. Try your best to stay on the sidewalk. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic so you can see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming. If you wear a mask, make sure it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t restrict your vision too much. Take the mask off when crossing the street or at intersections. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat any treats until a parent or guardian has inspected them. Be home at a reasonable time. This varies depending upon the age, but any time after 9 p.m. is pushing it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter homes. Stay on the porch or front stoop where your parents or guardians can see you. If you are approached by a stranger, head to any lighted house and ask them to contact your parents or the police.

Heeding these words of advice will ensure a safe and happy All Hallows Eve for all. Happy Halloween from all of us at the The Heritage and Gazette!

Mom of four offers support workshops for parents of children with ADHD By Kelly Reid Reporter

Heritage News - For Denise Vanden Engel, being a mother of four has presented many learning opportunities. After both challenging and rewarded times, she felt that she and some other (Large parents should Kingston EMC Ad) come together in a support group to impart knowledge and share par-

enting skills. In 2010, she founded Kingston’s ADHD Parent Support Group and is now holding meetings on a monthly basis. “The first thing I did was got as much information as I could about starting a support group,” says Denise of her start as founder of the group. Her goal continues to be changing perceptions about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disor-

der, as well as equipping parents with “tools for their toolbox.” “I think it’s important for parents to have the perception that you’re not at this workshop to fix your child,” she explains. “You’re there to work with your child’s strengths.” Now, Denise has between five and ten parents attending her meetings each month. “I do try to en-

courage parents to attend regularly. Raising children with ADHD is a journey,” she says. The meetings cover a different topic each time. Past subjects have included social skills, homework management, coping with anxiety, nutrition, and “just regular routine things,” Denise says. On Nov. 12, the subject of the meeting will be ADHD First Aid. Denise hastens to add that her knowledge comes from experience rather than formal training. “I’m not a doctor,” she says. “But I’ve certainly walked the walk and lived the life, so I think that really helps parents. My heart is in the right place.” She has found that the community has been tremendously supportive thus far of her efforts. She has received donations from local businesses as well as donations of space for her monthly meetings. “The community support has been outstanding,” she says.

Denise also wants to assure parents that the meetings are not strictly for children formally diagnosed with ADHD. Parents struggling with any challenging behaviours are welcome to join. Denise explains, “A lot of parents struggle. I don’t think it really matters whether your kid is labeled with ADHD or not. The label’s not important. They have a name and they have an ability. They have talent.” She says that she would love to see more parents getting involved with the meetings, regardless of the challenges they are facing. As Denise says, “I think as a parent you have to be your own advocate.” To learn more about the Kingston ADHD Parent Support Group, find them on Facebook or visit www. adhdsupportgroup.ca. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 255 Kingscourt Avenue between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. No registration is required.

Daytripper

Mark Bergin

Places to explore and things to experience

Liberace lives through a maestro, and he’s coming to Bath in the 1950s and again in 1969. He sold multi-millions of records and performed regularly in Las Vegas. Liberace discovered that combining classical music and contemporary pop songs in his performances had a broad appeal. Liberace died in 1987 at his home in Palm Springs, California. “He had recently completed eight sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York,” said Jackson. Brian Jackson created his tribute program about 15 years ago. He’s performed it solo and with symphonies and orchestras. “Liberace was the highest paid entertainer in the world from the 1950s to the 1970s,” he said. “Even higher than Sinatra. Besides, he was a classically trained pianist. His technique was phenomenal. He was made fun of, first for the single name, Liberace, and then after the two court cases.” One of the court cases involved a magazine’s derogatory description of Liberace. The other involved palimony for a male. Tongues wagged and media hounds drooled for the sensationalist stories. All of it was very sad, for Liberace wanted his private life left private. “His private life should have been left alone,” said Jackson. “That’s what the word is about, being private. The poor man had to lie about his gay

lifestyle. He already felt condemned. Growing up as a kid in England, I guess I hero-worshipped him. He was doing command performances for the Royal Family. He could play anything on piano. He introduced America to people like Grieg, Chopin and Liszt.” Jackson saw Liberace perform at the O’Keefe Centre in Toronto. “When I heard him play in Toronto he was flawless. He didn’t drop a note. I saw him two nights in a row.” Jackson said he was so moved and impressed by Liberace that he doesn’t want anyone to forget him. “He had such a sad ending to his life,” he said. “The press wanted to know everything. They literally hijacked his body from Palm Springs to L.A. They wanted to say that he hadn’t died of a heart attack. It came out that he died of pneumonia as a result of AIDS. Thankfully, people like Elizabeth Taylor came out and was incredibly supportive and said, ‘This is a terrible disease and we’re going to fight it.’ She was willing to put her name on the line.” In preparation for his tribute, Jackson talked to Liberace’s brother and his sister-in-law, and visited the museum in Las Vegas. He got permission from the family to do the tribute, agreeing that he wouldn’t act as an impersonator. The family told Brian he could even use some of the sparkly costumes in his show. He’s performing in Bath to support the community. “I lost my partner three years ago,” he said. “Bath is a wonderful, supportive place. I’m very grateful to the community and like to do the tribute here to help out. Bath is a secret little place that people don’t know about.” Brian Jackson was born in England, and after graduation from university he worked for the BBC. While at school, he even had the opportunity to work and act with John Cleese of Monty Python and Harry Potter fame. “After two and a half years, my career wasn’t adReg. vancing as fast as it should have. At the BBC I realized I was working on

the wrong side of the glass. My parents had spent a lot on my education and one is impatient at the age of 22. I came to Canada and didn’t even have a job.” He took a position with a church in Peterborough. One day he filled in conducting a symphony performance. “I had a day’s notice,” he said. “The day after, they made me the music director.” Brian Jackson is no stranger to Canadian stages. He has served as conductor with a number of orchestras and has conducted the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra and Vancouver Symphony. He served as Principal Pops Conductor of the Victoria Symphony for 17 seasons. He moved to Bath to fulfill a dream. “Denis, my partner, always wanted to build a house on the water,” he said. “This land came up in Bath and we had our place. I walk down five steps from the music room to the water.” Nowadays, in semi-retirement, Brian says he still likes conducting and he’d like to get back to writing. He’s completed four musicals, three of which have been performed. “I may go back and start to edit them to try to get them performed outside the province.” He’s working on a show in Quebec about the Spitfire aircraft. “It’s about the women who ferried the new planes to air bases,” he said.

“From there men flew them into battle. But it was women who flew them there in the first place.” In the new year, he hopes to travel to Australia. “I will be 70 in December, so I’m cutting down on my travels,” he said. “I grew up by the sea in England. I just love the beaches of Australia, and Sydney has the opera. It’s an amazing place. Visiting Australia is like going to another planet.” Sally McCulloch, one of the Bath event organizers, explained that they’ve hosted similar programs in the past. “We’ve done this (Tribute to Liberace) before,” she said. “Brian is so talented and so generous with his time. We did the first one when his partner was still alive. It’s been a huge success. We’re very fortunate to have Brian in the community.” At the upcoming Tribute to Liberace, Brian Jackson will perform, as Liberace did, with a grand piano and candelabra. Doors open at 6 p.m. on Nov. 16. Drinks and gourmet finger foods will be served at 6:30 p.m. and the performance starts at 7:30 p.m. There will also be a live auction on a number of items and packages. The performance is co-sponsored by the Fairfield Gutzeit Society and the Bath Community Revitalization Committee. Tickets are $50 and can be reserved by calling Virginia Thompson at 613-352-5168.

Heritage Lifestyle - Known as one of the greatest showmen of all time, Liberace opened the doors for many future entertainers, including brilliant musicians like Elton John. Indirectly, he’ll be opening some doors in Bath, Ontario on Nov. 16. Famed conductor and musician Brian Jackson will perform his Tribute to Liberace in a concert at St. John’s Memorial Hall in Bath. Glamorous, flamboyant and infinitely talented, Wladziu Valentino Liberace brought entertainment to the stage at a level at which it had never before been seen. David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, Elvis Presley’s rhinestones, Elton John’s sunglasses, Marc Bolan’s (T-Rex) boa, and even Lou Reed’s Holly, the one who “came from Miami FLA”, were all influenced by Liberace. They raised some eyebrows. But can you imagine the heat Liberace had to take as he draped himself in dazzling outfits and fur capes. The flash sometimes masked the underlying talent. Liberace was born in 1919 in Wisconsin. A child prodigy on the piano, at the age of seven he started studies at the Wisconsin College of Music. By the time he was 16, he’d appeared as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He hosted his own TV variety show

Frontenac Islands accepts waste Already strained Wolfe recycling strategy report Island ferry service By Margaret Knott. Correspndent

EMC news- Two items of interest to Howe and Wolfe Islanders were presented at the October meeting of Frontenac Islands Council. One was the Township of Frontenac Islands Waste Recycling Strategy report. The other the Howe Island Transportation study . Both were presented by AECOM Canada’s Guy Laporte. The Recycling study focuses on the township’s garbage/ recycling services and waste management practices different for the two islands. Wolfe Island has a waste disposal site with an attendant. The site is also a recycling transfer station for selected waste and recyclables. Howe Island has road side collection of waste taken off the island and a recycling transfer station but no attendant. The Waste Strategy is a comprehensive assessment of existing recycling programs operated by the township, initiated this year with the assistance of, and funding through the Waste Diversion Ontario’s Continuous Improvement Fund and the township’s general tax roll and an indication Township’s commitment to maintaining and improving services. Moving through the report Laporte said that Wolfe Island is doing well diverting 29% of their waste stream (CIF average 21%) and operates a very effective waste transfer site with 85 % of those using the site also recycling.. .” Howe Island is generating waste in excess of CIF’s typical waste generation, and is worse than average at recycling.,” he said

Laporte noted other municipalities have a bag limit and charges a fee.. “With no fee, I think you are importing waste.. Howe Island could expand its collection services to include recyclables and consider closing their depot., in bad condition when I saw it,” Continuing through the report he noted Waste Diversion Ontario has identified 3 successful landfill waste diverting recommendations: user fees; clear bags; service reductions. adding that the “the e latter two are not easy for the islands..” .Next steps in the process include direct consultation with selected groups of the public; review by council , promotion of the strategy and public education on the importance of recycling including the services offered by the township. Please Note: that the report was adopted by council, and submitted for review to the CIF. It will be posted on the Township’s of Frontenac Islands web site. . The Howe Island Transportation Study which includes a review of the island’s present ferry service, an assessment of future conditions, and alternatives to fix problems was next on the agenda. However it will have to wait till next time as will the review of the 2012 financial statements by KPMG’s Vicki Leaky. Council meets Tuesday, Nov. 12th on Wolfe Island at 6:30 pm Coming Events: 1.

takes a hit By Margaret Knott. Correspndent

EMC news- Users of the Wolfe Island ferry service were recently advised of changes to the policy regarding the carrying of Dangerous Goods According to the notice issued by MTO, the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act requires that dangerous goods in bulk quantities may only be transported to and from Wolfe Island on designated Dangerous Goods trips. On these voyages no passengers other than the operators of the mobile units carrying the dangerous goods will be permitted aboard the ferry. So, as of October 25th , MTO’s policy changed Dangerous Goods Trips take place on Tuesdays and Fridays: From Kingston at 06:15 AM and from Wolfe Island at 2:30 PM. No passengers, will be allowed on the 2:30 pm trip from Wolfe Island on dangerous goods trip days. The operators of empty but un-purged mobile units that previously carried dangerous goods (over to the island) will be permitted to make the return trip. “We heard a few days ago that MTO is required by Transport Canada to put these regulations in place, Frontenac Islands Mayor Doyle said. “This order comes in the wake of the terrible Lac Megantic train accident in Quebec. MTO was given no choice in the

matter.” he said adding that the entire regulation, as it also pertains other substances classed a dangerous goods will be posted on the Township of Frontenac Islands web site, on the ferry and in Marysville. According to the notice on regular ferry trips, small quantities of substances classed as dangerous goods may be carried in compliance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations:. They include gasoline, medical oxygen and propane , all to be in appropriate regulation containers, in specific amounts, properly secured. (Foot passengers are not allowed to carry gasoline on board). For questions about the policy and other products, please refer to Transport Canada Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations prior to contacting the ferry terminal (613 548 7227). Obviously it will be hard to get one’s head around the regulation and the further loss of capacity on the ferry. According to long time Islanders the ferry has carried dangerous goods and passengers at the same time for years . Considering the wait times during the summer season and all holidays, it is hard to accept even though it is understandable… On a happy note, work continues at the rink, footings are poured for the setting of poles to hold a roof over it. There is excitement in the air after a very successful October Festival and winter is in the air.

Bath Public School celebrates 15 years of Terry Fox participation By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Throwing a pie in someone’s face may not be the most conventional way of celebrating an achievement in fundraising, but for the students and teachers at Bath Public School it is the only way. On Oct. 21, students and teachers gathered in the gymnasium of the school to celebrate their 15th year of giving to the Terry Fox Foundation. This year was particularly special because they raised more money than ever before and surpassed their ambitious goal of $6,000. “Today is a big day because we are able to announce that we have reached and surpassed our goal,” said student organizer Jackie Campbell. “This is thanks to the super effort of all of you. Everyone who has participated in some way was part of this team effort. Right now, everyone who participated in the Terry Fox walk should give themselves a big pat on the back.” Students were also asked to stand if they brought in donations for the Terry Fox Foundation and three quarters of the gym jumped to their feet, showing how proud they were of their accomplishment. Also joining in the festivities of the afternoon was Amberlynn Bishop, a Terry Fox Foundation representative from Ottawa. Bishop came to the

school to recognize their achievement and to congratulate the school on their 15 years of participation with the Terry Fox Foundation. “I am so impressed to hear that you guys were able to raise over $6,000, that is so impressive from such a little school of 300 students,” said Bishop. “I would like to present you guys with a banner to represent all of your hard work over the past 15 years. Hopefully this banner will remind you of your amazing achievements so far and encourage you to keep going and raising money for this great cause. Congratulations to your school and thanks so much for having me here to celebrate this great achievement.” Bishop also brought a prosthetic leg, similar to the one Terry wore, to show students. She explained what a challenge it was for Terry to run with his leg and what he hoped to achieve through his run. “The leg is hard and heavy and Terry would put it on and strap it to himself, then he would run, but it wasn’t designed to run on. The leg bends at the knee, but it does not bend at the ankle. He had trouble running on it, but he did it anyways because he wanted to bring back hope to people who were suffering from cancer. He wanted to show that miracles can happen and things can be done, so that is what he did.” Bishop explained that Terry ran for

others and not for himself. He was selfless and wanted to raise awareness. Because of his efforts, Canadians took notice and have raised over $600 million for the Terry Fox Foundation. Bath Public School raised a total of $6,814.12 this year alone and they hope to continue to surpass their goals each year moving forward. To celebrate, top fundraisers in the school were given a very special reward. “Students who raised the most money in donations will now be able to throw a pie in the face of one of the organizers and Amberlynn is also going to step up to the plate and take a pie to the face for her team,” announced Campbell. Top fundraiser, Reagan Scott, raised an impressive $205 and had the honour of throwing a pie in Bishop’s face. “The pie throwing is just our way of celebrating,” explained Principal Joanne Stinson. “It is fun and this is the second year we’ve done it. The kids look forward to it and I think it encourages them to raise more money. We are so impressed with what they achieved this year and they are already talking about beating it next year.” For more information on the Terry Fox Foundation and how you can contribute, visit www.terryfox.org.

Diagnosing a leaky car ing your vehicle can help you determine what’s behind the leak. A clear, slippery liquid under the seats may be indicative of a leak in the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid is a liquid used in the braking system to apply hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the calipers to the pads against the wheel drums. If you discover brake fluid, check the master cylinder or the clutch master cylinder to see if there is a leak or spillover of the fluid. Coolant also can leak under the dashboard and into the foot wells of a car. Coolant is a sticky, green and sweetsmelling fluid, and a coolant leak could mean that a heater core or hose in the cooling system is leaking. In such instances, hoses may need to be replaced. Some vehicles have water diverters on the sides of their windshields to make sure water flows off of the windshield when the wipers are in use. Also, the trough where the wipers rest should have a sealant that prevents water from entering at the base of the windshield. Over time, both can wear out and may need to be replaced and resealed. Try sitting in the car on a dry day and spraying a hose on the windshield. See if any water eventually makes it inside of the car. If it does, the windshield is likely

the reason your vehicle’s interior is getting wet. A clogged drain in a vehicle’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system is one of the more common causes of interior water damage. If the drain is clogged, condensation from the system cannot drain from the tube. In such instances, water backs up into the system and can actually blow out of the car vents or elsewhere in the vehicle, forming a pool on the floor of the car. Leaves or debris can cause a blockage. If excess water is left in the HVAC system, it can damage the blower motor. Also, a faulty seal that is located between the HVAC case and the firewall of the vehicle may cause water to leak into the passenger compartment under the carpet. In some cases, cleaning blocked drains in a vehicle’s HVAC system may be as simple as blowing compressed air through the vents or using a wire to clear out leaves or dirt. Other times it may be hard to access the leaks, and such instances are often best left to a mechanic. The causes of leaks in a car are not always so easy to diagnose. But it is important to figure out where the water is coming from early on to minimize the damage water can do to your vehicle. PRICE MATC GUARANTE H E

Very often drivers find that the seats or the mats below their feet are damp or downright sopping wet. But unless a window or sunroof was left open during a rainstorm, drivers may find it difficult to decipher why their vehicles are suddenly soaked. Unfortunately, when a vehicle’s interior is wet, that could be a sign of a significant problem, one that can gradually worsen over time. Wetness can cause electrical components or metal structures in the car to rot, and a soggy interior may eventually be overcome by mold. It is best to find out what is causing the leak as soon as possible and have the problem fixed just as quickly. Finding the source of a leak is not always easy. Sometimes drivers can locate it themselves and then fix the problem on their own, while more serious problems might need to be handled by a professional. But it is best to assess the situation before booking an appointment with your mechanic. Cars can spring a leak for a variety of reasons. Leaks from systems under the hood, as well as rainwater or water from washing the car, can infiltrate the interior if seals around doors and/or windows are broken or gaskets are worn out. Figuring out which type of liquid is enter-

Vehicle infotainment systems change the world of driving Long gone are the days when a person hops into the driver’s seat and only has AM or FM radio at his or her disposal. Although standard radio is still popular, today’s motorists are faced with a bevy of options in an always-evolving “infotainment” industry. Infotainment, also known as in-car entertainment or ICE, and in-vehicle infotainment, or IVI, is a collection of hardware devices installed into cars and trucks to provide navigation services and audio and even visual entertainment. Many of today’s cars allow drivers to map routes with ease through intricate navigation systems tied to location-narrowing satellites. Children can boot up a favorite DVD and watch it in the backseat to make a trip more agreeable, while passengers can stream satellite radio and have thousands of different musical options at their fingertips. And thanks to Bluetooth or USB connectivity, drivers and passengers alike can verbally message friends and family by linking their phones to car computer systems. While many of these infotainment sources are channeled through a smartphone, even that technology is changing. General Motors is the first major automaker to announce that most of their 2015 vehicles will offer embedded 4G modems

for constant connectivity. This eliminates the need to pair infotainment systems with a phone and wait for a connection. This may put online radio on par with what is available at home or via wireless hot spots. Apple recently started bringing a special version of its Siri -- a speech-recognition assistant that is built into iPhones and other products -- into cars. Siri integration will be coming to at least nine automakers in the future, including BMW, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Land-Rover, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda. Other manufacturers, like Ford, which already has a Microsoft-based Sync, have their own voice-recognition software that ties to a larger information “cloud.” From ordering dinner to cuing up movies, infotainment offers drivers many benefits. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, such systems can pose a potentially dangerous distraction. A AAA study points out that there really isn’t a fully safe infotainment system. Of all the typical in-car activities studied by AAA, speech-to-text systems were found to be the most cognitively distracting. When assigned a specific numeric rating by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, with 1.0 being no distraction at all, listening to the radio earned a 1.21 rating,

talking on a phone ranked 2.45, while listening to and responding to email using speech-to-text technology received a rating of 3.06. AAA’s president and CEO, Robert Darbelnet, says that text-to-speech capability in cars and many other infotainment

features could present a safety crisis. “It’s time to consider limiting new and potentially dangerous mental distractions built into cars, particularly with the common public misperception that hands-free means risk-free,” says Darbelnet. With the ability to send and receive

tweets, update social media sites, get directions, and make restaurant reservations all through a vehicle’s infotainment system, drivers have many features at their disposal. It remains to be seen if these features will be a boon to drivers or result in more distracted driving.

Make the most of road trips to enjoy fall foliage Jaunts to view fall foliage are popular excursions come autumn. The vivid color on display in forests and parks is simply too much for many motorists to resist. Though nature’s beauty is often on display regardless of geography, some locales tend to boast more beauteous backdrops and picturesque landscapes than others. The key is to visit during peak viewing times. Leaves begin to change earlier in the northernmost latitudes. For example, much of Canada and portions of the northern United States begin to witness changes in foliage in late September, whereas regions further south must wait until October to see those changes. Mid-October is when peak times are most prevalent for the greatest portion of the United States. Travelers in North Dakota and Wyoming can view fall foliage at this time. Autumn coloring persists until late October and early November in certain areas, including the southeastern and central regions of the United States. When planning a road trip to see fall foliage, pay attention to local

weather and foliage reports. Remember, road trips are quite popular this time of year, and municipal parks may be quite crowded on the weekends. If you can spare time off during the week, it may work to your advantage to cruise around when traffic is less congested. Bring along maps or a GPS system so that you can travel to multiple areas. Autumn leaves can be enjoyed from a car, but they are equally enjoyable when experienced on a hiking trip. Pack a bagged lunch and picnic in a quiet spot, and you’re bound to spot squirrels and other wildlife gathering up food reserves in preparation for the winter weather. While the foliage is impressive enough on its own, the science behind this awesome display of color is something to behold as well. During the spring and summer, leaves produce most of the food necessary for the tree’s growth. Cells inside of the leaves contain chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight, turning it into sugars and starch that the tree uses for food. In addition to green chlorophyll, other pigments

specific to the types of trees are present. These pigments are generally masked by the large amount of chlorophyll present during warm weather. When autumn arrives, changes in the duration of sunlight result in the gradual decrease of chlorophyll and the breakdown of residual chlorophyll in the leaves as the trees prepare to stop food production for the cold hibernation. Other chemical changes take place as the leaves prepare for winter, and these mix with chlorophyll residue to produce various shades of colors. Weather, light and water supply will influence the shades of colors as well. Rainy weather makes them more vivid. While the colors are appearing, a special layer of cells develops, and this layer gradually severs the tissues of the leaf from the branches before the leaves fall to the ground. The best days to see leaves are those days that are cool and dry. Leaves that fall on roadways and are dampened by rain can be very slippery, so it is important to exercise caution while driving.

Steps to take when selling your car

Setting a realistic price Some sellers might begin the process of selling their car by shooting for the moon and asking for more money than the vehicle is worth. That’s a great way to waste time and ensure your vehicle stays on the market for a long time. Buyers have access to much of the same information as sellers, including the vehicle’s ownership and accident history if they choose to purchase

the vehicle history report on the car. So sellers will be doing themselves a disservice if they establish an unreasonable selling price for their vehicles. When determining the price for your vehicle, make the most of the resources at your disposal. Edmunds.com, for example, offers a True Market Value, or TMV(R), tool that allows sellers to get an honest appraisal of their used vehicle, while Kelley Blue Book has long been a trusted resource for buyers and sellers alike who want to determine the value of preowned vehicles. Use resources such as these to determine a reasonable selling price for your used car. Many prospective buyers will want to negotiate the price down, so setting a price that’s slightly higher than the vehicle’s appraised value might be a good bet. Just don’t go too far above that value or you risk getting little response to your ad.

make use of popular Web sites featuring hundreds, if not thousands, of vehicles for sale. Such sites allow prospective buyers to narrow their searches based on a host of factors, including geography, vehicle make and model, mileage, and so on. While such sites can be useful, it’s also easy for your vehicle to get lost in the haystack that is such sites’ vast inventory. That’s something to consider, as many sites charge sellers to post their listing. When advertising your vehicle for sale, consider traditional methods like putting a “For Sale” sign in the window and advertising the car in the classified section of your local newspaper. Many buyers still scour the classifieds when looking for a used car, while a “For Sale” sign in the window is an inexpensive yet effective way to make it known that your vehicle is for sale. In addition to more traditional methods, make use of other ways to increase your vehicle’s visibility. Post the vehicle to social media sites where friends and family can see that the car is for sale. Even if your online friends are not in

the market for a new vehicle, they might know someone who is and can easily send prospective buyers your way. This requires little effort on the part of the seller, but the potential payoff is considerable. Present yourself and the vehicle well Sellers can make the most of the sales experience if they present themselves as responsible vehicle owners who went to great lengths to maintain their vehicles. If you have a maintenance history of the vehicle, make it available when showing the vehicle and answer sellers’ questions with honesty and sincerity. Of course, prospective buyers also want the vehicle to make a good impression. Before showing the vehicle, have your mechanic give it a tune-up so it’s running as smoothly as possible during test drives. In addition, make sure the vehicle’s exterior has been washed and waxed and its interior thoroughly cleaned when it is being shown. Clean vehicles that run without any hiccups make a strong first impres-

sion on prospective buyers. Don’t negotiate yourself out of a sale The year a vehicle hits the market is a benchmark among prospective buyers. Even if they’re unaware of it, many buyers harbor negative opinions of a vehicle as it gets older. So even if a decade-old vehicle runs like new, buyers will likely still be hesitant about paying full asking price for a car that first left a dealership’s lot 10 years ago. Sellers should keep this in mind when selling their preowned vehicles, especially when they start to field offers. It’s easy for sellers to negotiate themselves out of a sale if they feel buyers aren’t making substantial offers. But the longer the vehicle goes unsold, the more negative the perception of that vehicle becomes, and the less sellers are likely to get for the car. If buyers are making offers within the realm of your initial asking price, then don’t worry it if those offers are a few hundred dollars short of that initial price, as there’s no guarantee a better offer is on the horizon.

When buying a new car, today’s buyers often weigh a vehicle’s potential resale value before signing on the dotted line. Resale value is important, as it allows vehicle owners to recoup some of their initial investment when the money earned after selling a car is often used to finance the purchase of a driver’s next vehicle. But selling a car is not as simple as putting a sign in its rear window and waiting for prospective buyers to beat a path to your driveway. Selling a car is an involved process that sellers must take seriously if they hope to maximize the vehicle’s resale value.

KFPL presents “Austentation” in honour of timeless novel By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Heritage Events - It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one of the most important and beloved books in the English language celebrates its 200th anniversary, people should celebrate. For the month of November, the Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL) is encouraging community members to do just that in honour of the bicentenary of Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice. Called “Austentation”, the month-long celebration features, among other things, film showings, a talk by Queen’s professor and Austen expert Robert Morrison and a grand Austen Ball to top everything off. “It’s kind of amazing when you think about how [Austen] is still so beloved by so many people,” says Alice Robinette-Woods, librarian and organizer of Austentation. “I think she offers a level of comfort, and she writes in a way that even 200 years later we can connect with the characters and with the themes of family, money issues, concerns about the future, love [etc.].” Robinette-Woods also notes that many film adaptations of Austen’s novels have been produced in the last 20 years, allowing her work to reach an even larger audience. “I think people really responded to those films,” she says. “The Emma Thompson Sense and Sensibility was extremely popular, and then there was the Colin Firth BBC miniseries [of Pride and Prejudice]. I think it brought Jane Austen back to people in a lot of ways.” In keeping with the Austen film phenomenon, the KFPL will present the movie Austenland on Nov. 9 at 4 p.m. and Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. at the Screening Room. The Keira Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice will also be shown

Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. at the same venue. “I think people really enjoy the film adaptations, and there are always new ones coming out,” says RobinetteWoods. “We love doing events that connect books to movies.” The Austen Ball, to be held Nov. 30, is another highlight of Austentation. “It’s just taken on a life of its own,” notes Robinette-Woods. “It started as this little passing comment – ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to have a Regency ball’. Then I started to look into it and there’s actually a woman in Toronto [Karen Millyard] who runs Regency balls and teaches people to do the dances.” Millyard will hold a workshop at 1 p.m. on the day of the ball, teaching people about Regency style hair, dress and dancing. “They don’t have to sew anything, just basically grab things from their closet that can then become Regency style,” Robinette-Woods explains. Later that evening, participants will put their new skills and styles to use at the Austen Ball, to be held at 7 p.m. at City Hall’s Memorial Hall. “The idea is that we’re just going to dance the night away with country dances,” says Robinette-Woods. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. Karen will be leading the dances and we’ve got live musicians.” To get locals in the mood for all these events, Professor Robert Morrison will kick off Austentation on Nov. 4 with a talk entitled Getting Around Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice: Gothicism, Fairy Tales, and the Very World of all of Us. “I’ve called it Getting Around Pride and Prejudice because I can’t get around Pride and Prejudice,” Morrison laughs. “Every time I read that book, every time I come back to it, it’s richer and more subtle and complicated than last time

through. What I’d like people to come away with is a knowledge of how exciting it is, how brilliant Austen is, how wonderfully well she develops characters and how wonderfully well she tells the story.” Indeed, Morrison believes the author’s work has become timeless because of the way she is able to do so many things so well. “Austen is, I think, one of our very finest minds when it comes to understanding relationships and sexual tensions and the dynamics of how they play themselves out in many relationships and marriages. And she is a big critic of the institutions of her day that were constructed really to restrain and hold back women. So she’s a marvelous novelist of social realism at the same time that she writes a fairy tale. Usually you think of a fairy tale and social realism as being two separate books, but Austen is so powerful because she manages to wrap one around the other.” Morrison adds that you’d be hard pressed to find any writer in the last 200 years who can touch Austen when it comes to the topic of the restraints and injustices women faced during her time, which indeed still influence women’s opportunities today in many ways. “I think she’s superb and relevant for those reasons,” he says. “What an event like [Austentation] does is it impresses upon people that as distant and different as Austen’s world can seem to us today, there are also many and more important ways in which Austen is relevant now.” For more information and a full listing of events, please visit www.kfpl.ca.

200 year old house in Kingston believed to be haunted mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Happy Halloween Kingstonians - we asked for your spooky stories and we received them. Kingston is a city that is steeped in history and certainly lends itself to a good ghost story. Jennifer Kelly and her experiences in her apartment complex on Queen Street are a prime example of this. “I have been in this building for six years and the number of weird things I have experienced is creepy,” said Kelly, “The building is more than 200 years old and I’ve been told it was used as a burlesque house at one point. It was military barracks at another point and it was also used as a military hospital.” Kelly lives in her current apartment unit with her mother and son, but previously lived in a another unit in the building. “In our previous unit we thought we heard something in the fireplace. The fireplaces in the building are fully sealed off and don’t lead anywhere so there is no way that something could have gotten in there, but we heard sounds coming from it,” explained Kelly. “I decided to place a camera in there to see if I could see

anything and when I took the photo. The flash showed a shadow of a figure that looked to me like a little demon with pointed ears. It was balancing inside the wall of the fireplace. When I took a second photo it was gone. It was really very strange.” That same night, Kelly heard the taps in her kitchen running. After checking on them and making sure they were secure, she returned to the other room and then heard them come back on with incredible force. “They were fully off and then later on they started to shoot hot water. It was like the force of four water tanks coming out of them.” In the hopes of ending these encounters, Kelly moved to another unit in the building, but things progressed in the same manner. “At three in the morning, every night, my mother’s bedroom door opens. My son has actually witnessed it. He was up late playing video games one night and thought that my mom had gotten up but it was just the door moving on its own. She was still sleeping and everyone else was sleeping too. It is just another thing that leads me to believe that this building is haunted,” said Kelly. While all of these events may be hard to prove to outsiders, Kelly has hard evidence from one of her encounters - a ring that she found beneath a floor board in her unit about a year ago. Kelly wasn’t looking for it, but felt like something was calling her to it and leading her towards it. “I got a really

Jennifer Kelly by the fireplace in her current apartment. She is holding the scraps of paper and the ring she found in her floorboards, just one of many incidents she has experienced in her ‘haunted house’. strong feeling in my stomach just before I found the ring. It was almost as if something was leading my hand towards it and there was something whispering for me in there too. I lifted the board and I saw nothing, but then it was almost like a breeze came in and blew the paper towards me. As soon as I took it out I saw the ring. It was right in the center of the paper and after I found it I felt relieved. It was a really bizarre feeling.”

The ring was wrapped in newsprint that still has a visible date of 1918 printed on it, and while it is very brittle and hard to unfold, Kelly has kept the paper ever since. After finding the ring Kelly and her family have not experienced any new incidents. “It has been pretty quiet around here and nothing else weird has happened so maybe that is what the spirit or whatever wanted me to find,” said Kelly. But she believes there is even more in the floorboards and walls of her unit.

Second-year Front doggedly searching for scoring touch By Mark Kerr Reporter

Heritage Sports - Slater Doggett entered his second season with the Kingston Frontenacs with a specific goal in mind. “I am really striving to get back my scoring touch,” said Doggett. “I see my role on this team the same as last year: a defensive forward who can hit, fight and also produce some offence. I am just trying to be an all around player.” In 60 regular season games in 2012-13, Doggett scored three goals and added 12 assists. He failed to get on the scoresheet in four playoff contests. Ideally, he would like to put up numbers similar to the 32 points he tallied in 47 games with the Burlington Cougars of the Ontario Junior Hockey League in 201112. Doggett is optimistic the offensive side of his game is improving with two goals and four assists through his first 10 games this season. “Now I know what to expect playing in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL),” he said. “I spent the summer getting bigger, stronger and faster. But the big thing is having more confidence in myself. Confidence is a big part of my game.” Doggett believed the OHL was out of the question when he wasn’t picked in the 2010 and 2011 drafts. However, Frontenacs General Manager Doug Gilmour heard about Doggett’s strong showing at a Barrie Colts practice and invited him to Kingston for a similar workout. The Frontenacs were impressed and selected him in the 12th round (212th overall) of the 2012 draft.

“Basically when I missed the OHL draft (in 2010), I concentrated on playing NCAA hockey. I didn’t think the OHL was an option, but I was pretty happy when it happened,” he said. “I signed before training camp so I knew I was going to make the team, but I still had to come to camp and prove myself.” Making the team is only half the battle, as most OHL rookies will tell you. It was no different for Doggett who had to adjust to life away from home for the first time. “The first year not being at home was tough. It took some time getting used to a different environment and not having my mom’s cooking every night,” he said with a chuckle. “But my billets have been great and it’s not too tough now.” Doggett’s teammates have become his second family. Away from the rink, the players get together and hang out. Speaking after practice last Tuesday night, Doggett was looking forward to tucking into some wings before going out to see a movie with his mates. “The best part of playing with the Frontenacs is how close we are as a team. It’s always fun to come to the rink,” he said. The Frontenacs return to the K-Rock Centre tomorrow night to take on the North Bay Battalion after six consecutive road games. Last weekend’s road trip saw Kingston travel to North Bay, Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. A long excursion early in the season gives the Photo/John Harman. players a chance to bond and have a little fun The Kingston Frontenacs’ Slater Doggett takes a shot on net. at the expense of the rookies, according to the bus,” Doggett said. “This longer trip will “It’s a relief not to be a rookie anymore,” Doggett. “Bus etiquette centres mostly on rookies. be especially tough for them because they al- he added.

Kate Kristiansen Hello, my name is Kate and I’m an addict. A coffee addict that is. Nothing beats a good cup of coffee. The bold, roasting smell is pure joy. I would even argue that one doesn’t even have to be a coffee drinker to love the aroma of this intoxicating brew. I am not much of drip coffee fan, although my friend Lesli would hook herself up intravenously to draw in the dark rich drug. A night shift worker, no matter the hour you will find Lesli with a cup of hot black goodness. Coffee in all its forms is my drug of choice. At home, I have a Keurig machine to help me savor the freshness of brewing a perfect cup every time. Whether Tassimo or Keurig, the trend has flourished for these easy-to-use machines. I can now choose from hundreds of varieties. I like to shop at Coffee Trends for their individual servings called K-Cups. It’s a retail store conveniently located at 772 Blackburn Mews, corner of Gardiners Rd and Taylor Kidd Blvd. You can choose up to 24 mixed single-servings or boxed coffee matches for approximately $13.95. Upon arrival, pick up the easy to use round paddle with holes to fit each choice. This helpful tool makes it easy to carry your K-cups as you shop. Allow yourself time to wander through the aisle, exploring and choosing which coffee you’d like to try. Coffees are arranged according to roast – dark, medium etc. Make your choices and take them to the counter to package them to go. While browsing, you can enjoy a free coffee and sample before you buy. On my first visit I selected (almost) one of each. I went home, taste-tested and judged each

against the other. Yes, I am that pathetic. I am picky about my coffee; so sue me. I couldn’t imagine anything being better than an espresso until I discovered their dark roast 100 per cent Brazilian Gold coffee. It’s delicious, with the well-known kick-in-the-butt effect of an espresso. I only need to drink one a day to keep me primed. The coffee grounds removed from their pouches post-use are biodegradable. However, I must dispel the myth that once the plastic cup is free from waste and cleaned it can be placed in your general recycling. The City of Kingston advises that the cups themselves are made from mixed material and get caught in their conveyor belts. This is an issue experienced widely. Therefore, the K-cups themselves are not recyclable. Don’t get me wrong, the environment is an important issue for me. But, I am an addict, so will it make me stop from drinking my beloved coffee? No. This means I will challenge them to develop a recyclable product. Recent studies show coffee is associated health benefits, which include improvement in short-term memory loss and increased cognitive abilities. In fact, coffee shows it has more healthy antioxidants than green tea and cocoa. However, we should be cautious that too much of a good thing has its risks. Coffee is also known to cause irritability, nervousness and anxiety. So like most things in life, drink in moderation. We writers drink coffee to help keep common disorders such as writers block at bay. Therefore, you will find me writing at a local café or at home, perched in my window, fist tightly grasping this magnificent brew. My name is Kate. I am an addict. For more information, or to suggest a restaurant or foodie biz I should check out, email me at ladydinesalot@gmail.com, follow my blog Ladydinesalot.com or on Facebook.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, shake things up a bit to inspire some much-needed change. Be a tourist in your own city if you cannot afford a trip or immerse yourself in new cultures. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – It is not a good week to begin new projects, Taurus. In fact, cosmic signs point to finishing up anything you have outstanding. Try to focus on financial matters as well. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Cooperate with others this week, Gemini. This works best when you embrace compromise. Listen to what others have to say and always keep an open mind. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, a desire to get organized has been on your mind for quite some time. Now is the ideal time to do something about it. Start by clearing out clutter and go from there. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Enjoy a short vacation, Leo. It may be a jaunt to a weekend hideaway or something off the beaten path, but make the most of this well-deserved escape from the daily grind. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, you are feeling domestic this week, so enjoy puttering around the house these next several days. You can catch up on decorating or renovating the home. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, you feel a strong need to communicate with others this week. Share some truths with your loved ones, but try not to come across as if you have an agenda. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, you may have a desire to travel and seek adventure, but right now finances won’t allow it. If you can keep expenses down, you may have the opportunity soon. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Expect to have luck on your side this week, Sagittarius. As a natural born risk-taker, all you need is a little incentive to get out and take a chance. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Keep your intentions hidden from others until you are ready for the big reveal, Capricorn. This will help make the surprise even more exciting for all those involved. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, discussions reach a point where you want to make permanent changes to your plans. Mull things over before making any final decisions, but enjoy this exciting time. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Personal details about your private life may become public, Pisces. How this information is handled depends on your reaction.

Meistersingers bring fresh, edgy musical to Kingston By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

The Kingston Meistersingers are shaking things up a little for their 2013 musical. Known for their yearly productions of old fashioned, very G-rated musicals like Annie, Oliver and Fiddler on the Roof, the theatre group is taking a different direction this year by presenting Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein. “The rights just became available for Young Frankenstein [the musical], so it can’t get much more fresh than that,” says Meistersingers’ president Liane Penny. “So we decided as a group that we would take a chance, and we would do something that was a radical departure

for our group.” Penny explains that the show has a PG-13 rating because of some mild sexual humour. “I think most people would think that we would never do something that’s a little bit naughty, a little bit racy,” she says. Indeed, Penny notes that this is the first musical the Meistersingers have done in the time she has been with the company where they do not have any children on the stage. “There are positives and negatives with that, but it definitely changes the flavour. You can take things a little bit further with the comedy, and certainly we’ve been able to be very productive in our rehearsal schedule because of that.” The musical is an adaptation

HEARING AIDS from $395

of Brooks’ 1974 film of the same name. Over 30 years after the movie was made, Brooks made it into a musical, which debuted on Broadway in 2007. Both the movie and the musical tell the story of Frederic Frankenstein, grandson of Mary Shelley’s classic character Victor Frankenstein; Frederic returns to his grandfather’s castle, rediscovers all of his old equipment and, of course, decides to make his own monster. “I think it will draw a lot of people because it is a bit of a cult hit,” says Lukas Duchaine, who plays Frederic Frankenstein in the Meistersingers’ production. “I remember enjoying Young Frankenstein from a young age, and my dad’s always enjoyed it. It’s one of those movies that almost everyone has seen and if people know the movie, they pretty much know the musical because it fol-

lows very similar to the movie.” Director Matt Davis has also been a big fan of Mel Brooks and Young Frankenstein for quite some time. “It’s timeless,” he notes. “It doesn’t matter how many times I see the movie, there’s always something new that I missed the last time, or that I’ve forgotten about it and it’s funny seeing it again.” And the musical, he says, definitely does it justice. “Considering Mel Brooks adapted it himself for the stage, he kept everything that was wonderful from the film in the show and then added extra stuff. On top of the songs and everything like that he’s added a couple of extra jokes, some staging stuff, that sort of thing. But it’s still the classic young Frankenstein that we still know and love from the film.” Penny says that she thinks the Young Frankenstein production

could also be the start of a new trend for the Meistersingers. “I think it’ll be interesting to see what Kingston audiences think,” she says. “I think that Kingston theatre audiences are savvy enough and have enough taste to be interested in seeing something that’s new, so I hope that we’re bringing that to them. “We’re certainly bringing it at the best time of year,” she adds, pointing out that the show opens on Halloween. Young Frankenstein will run Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Octave Theatre, located at 711 Dalton Avenue. There will also be a matinee on Nov. 10 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors; they are availalbe at www.meistersingers. ca, at the door of the Octave, Novel Idea, and at the Grand Theatre Box Office.

Fostering community and friendship through art Reporter

Art is a great way to bring people together to build stronger communities and Sandi Dodds, co-founder of The Mess Open Arts Studio, can attest to that. Four years ago, Dodds and artist Mechele Tebrake decided to bring in their own personal art supplies to Martha’s Table and start making art. Their goal was to attract people to create art and build relationships. That’s how The Mess was born. “We are four years into it now and we are seeing some really positive things happening in people’s lives,” says Dodds. The Mess brings about this positive change because it offers people an avenue to express themselves through art, while being in the company of friends. When the program first started it targeted individuals suffering from mental illness, addiction and poverty. Today the program is more diverse. “While we are still reaching out to people in crises, we also have some retired professors coming and other people who are willing to stand beside people in friendship and build a healthy community. In order to be a healthy community you need people from all backgrounds and all walks of life.” “What we have here is we are all equal… we are all shoulder to shoulder,” explains Dodds. The program just recently moved to Gill Hall in St. Andrews Church in order to accommodate growth. The Mess is now open at Gill Hall on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m., - 2 p.m., and at Martha’s Table’s Friendship Room on Wednesdays from 10 a.m., 1 p.m. Participants were happy to hear that the program will now run three days a week, instead of two. “One of our participants said to me

‘now that I know that we have three at St. Andrews in Gill Hall from 3 days, it’s the highlight of my week. I p.m., – 6 p.m. The show will feature can come and create art and be with artists’ work, as well as a sale and friends,’” recalls Dodds. a silent auction.

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

The passion of movement Heritage Lifestyle - Helana Marks says dancing is in her blood. I’d say it’s also in her heart and soul and each breath she takes. At the age of 23, she’s already becoming a formidable force in dance. She teaches contemporary dance at the Kingston School of Dance. She’s also bright with diverse interests ranging from dance to theoretical physics and anthropology. She recently created a work, based on original choreography by Belgium’s Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker of Rosas danst Rosas. “I asked Renée (Lemieux), Emma (Chen), Sophia (Kendall) and Maureen (Barnes) to be involved as there is something really unique about each of them that I really liked. Each is such a talented dancer. I then asked filmmaker James (Greatrex of AsIf Films) and told him what I was doing. He agreed to record the project on film.” I’m rarely at a loss for words, but when I watched a video of this, I initially had no words. I was in awe of what Helana had crafted with the four young dancers. “Helana shows a dedication and attention to detail in her work that is inspiring and it is a little intimidating,” said James Greatrex. “Working with her certainly kept me on my toes. I am looking forward to our future collaborations. She is a perfectionist in the best possible way: she expects the best from the people she works with. Her easygoing demeanor and calmness help her to achieve her artistic goals. It was amazing to see her in action.”

Helana’s first involvement with movement wasn’t in dance. She started taking tae kwon do when she was 8 years old. “I reached the point where I was doing it six days a week,” she said. “I’d go from school to tae kwon do to home and then to bed. It was a huge part of my childhood.” She explained that the movement and the discipline appealed to her. “It was also my first experience with meditation,” she said. “We’d meditate at the beginning and end of class. I experienced how powerful the brain is and how the senses can be heightened through meditation.” She achieved her black belt. But Helena’s older sister, whom she deeply admires, was a dancer. Helana wanted to give it a try. “The transition from tae kwon do to dance wasn’t that difficult,” she said. “My warmup hasn’t changed that much. Some of the things are so similar. The concepts are the same. The execution is different.” She studied dance with Grace Miyagawa and then Ebon Gage. She developed a fondness for working in bare feet from Miyagawa. But she gave up dance because of a partner’s discomfort with her participating in anything involving the stage. “After I left my partner and was getting my life back together, a friend at Kingston School of Dance said I should come and dance,” said Helana. “They told me Ebon (Gage) runs the school. Ebon had been my teacher the day I disappeared off the face

of the earth.” When she returned to dance she found herself avoiding Ebon. She felt she’d let him down by leaving dance. “At the end-of-year show we were both outside during the break. I burst into tears and we gave each other big hugs. I owe him a lot. He’s been very helpful getting me back to where I was. It can be really frustrating to have these things in my head but not be able to execute them. Ebon’s pushed me in the right directions. He’s one of the most important people in my dancing life right now. He’s been instrumental in helping me find my way back.” She says she still has regrets about having taken time off dance. She also knows that she has a different perspective now and values dance even more. “Dance is a huge part of how I exist,” she said. “I’m very passionate at a level not considered normal. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing.” Teaching contemporary dance at level 1 and 2 has helped her get back to the basics. “There was a really lovely moment last week,” she says. “Since I came back, I haven’t been able to do my jumps. That’s been really upsetting for me. From the time I started tae kwon do, I’ve always been able to do jumps and kicks. It’s felt like ever since I returned to dance, in jumping I just stumble over myself. Last week, Jen (Pearson, a fellow dance instructor) said she wanted to do some jumping with the kids. I ran with them and two seconds later

I’m in the air. It was really awesome. I gave Jen a big hug and thought I was going to cry.” She said that when she dances, she tries not to think. “If I start to over analyze, it’s done. Nothing feels natural after that. I try to keep my mind on what I’m feeling. There’s a really lovely connection with your body. I have an anxiety disorder. It comes through in a lot of ways physically. When I dance it’s really helpful to figure out where it is in my body and let it go. When I’m dancing I pay attention to what my body is feeling and what it wants to do.” Helana thinks Kingston has become an exciting place to live. “It’s a great place to be an artist,” she said. “There’s a lot of talent at the school (Kingston School of Dance) right now. And I’m looking at participating in a web series created by a friend, John Wasson. It’s called Break Room and will be directed by Brent Nurse. It’s a series of short episodes.

Panthers continue their undefeated season By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Sports – It was an intense, much-anticipated match, but the Regiopolis-Notre Dame Panthers came out on top over the Holy Cross Crusaders in senior boys’ volleyball on Oct. 22 at Regi. Both teams were undefeated going into the match and the rivalry was apparent to all in attendance. “It was a great game,” said Panther Connor Santoni. “Two undefeated teams going at it, it felt pretty good to win. There is definitely a rivalry there. We had this game circled on our calendars and we’ve been looking forward to it all year.” The Panthers started off strong, winning the first two games, but Holy Cross wasn’t giving up just yet. The Crusaders came through in the third game narrowly beating their rival 25-21. By game four, the Panthers showed how much they wanted victory, defeating the Crusaders 25-14 and solidifying their 3-1 victory. Both teams played really strong games with intense rallies and defensive plays happening throughout each. It was clear that the teams were well matched and both wanted the win,

especially home team RND, with players wearing ‘Beat HC’ t-shirts during warm up. The win was especially important for coach Mark McKenna who saw the game as a way of assessing how the team was doing after some setbacks earlier in the season. “It feels great to win and it was kind of a test for us today. We are just getting healthy again. We had a couple guys out with injuries so to play a good team like Holy Cross is a good measuring stick to see where we are at now.” In terms of strategy, McKenna and his team were focused on taking care of the ball and limiting errors. “We make a lot of errors, uncharacteristic errors but it’s always about knowing what we have to Notre Dame’s senior boys volleyball team remains undefeated after a victory over the previously undefeated Holy Cross Crudo.
