Passenger travel down, but airport builds case for $16M expansion By Bill Hutchins
Students in the Specialist High Skills Major focus program at Holy Cross experienced the trip of a lifetime over March break when they visited Hollywood. The trip included stops at Universal Studios, Warner Brothers and Disneyland and some exciting brushes with fame. Photo/John Esford
Field trip to Tinseltown: Kingston students rub elbows with Hollywood glitterati By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
News - “Welcome to Hollywood! Everybody has a dream! What’s your dream? Some dreams come true, some don’t; but keep on dreamin’ – this is Hollywood!” So goes the final quote of the movie Pretty Woman, and indeed 35 high school students (plus six
teachers/supervisors) from Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School and Belleville’s Nicholson Catholic College had some dreams of their own in mind when they traveled to Los Angeles over March break as part of a Communications Technology field trip. The students toured everything from Universal Continued on page 6
News – Kingston’s airport continues to lose ground to cheaper and more convenient transportation options, despite ongoing efforts to bolster service. City officials aren’t giving up hope that Norman Rogers Airport can grow its passenger base by embarking on a $16 million expansion of its terminal and main runway. About 90 per cent of local air travellers are using airports other than Kingston as the starting point for their journey. Local airport passenger travel declined from 75,800 in 2009 to 67,600 in 2014. “It is estimated that 2,000 passengers a day are diverting to airports such as Syracuse, Ottawa and Toronto,” according to the latest report on airport service. The status report outlines a variety of counter measures underway to try and woo more airlines and passengers. This includes ongoing discussions to land WestJet’s regional carrier, Encore, when the airline expands its shortdistance flights into eastern
Canada this year. WestJet is currently studying the local demographics – including students, seniors and business attractiveness – before deciding to commit to making Kingston a regular stopover. But there are positive factors such as the fact that 95 per cent of local air travelers will fly to broader destinations served by WestJet. “Kingston has the largest population of any city in Canada not within 150 kilometres of a WestJet service.” The city has also met with some success in convincing Air Canada, the airport’s main regional carrier, to lower some passenger fares in its seven daily flights to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. Air Canada is targeting the connecting flights to Canadian destinations and is offering up to half of the available seats on most departures at a lower price. “This resulted in a revised fare structure that lowered the incremental airfare to fly in/out of Kingston to a base level of $75,” the report noted. One major drawback, though, is Air Canada’s reli-
ance on the smaller 18-seat Beechcraft planes on the Kingston-Toronto flights, which can’t hold as much luggage. “The luggage capacity of the aircraft is severely limited and is resulting in a very high number of delayed baggage deliveries and inconvenience to passengers.” Air Canada says it will press its larger 37-seat Dash8 aircraft into Kingston to accommodate sport tourism, group travel, conventions or other big draw events if it has sufficient notice, but it’s not ready to use the larger planes on a regular basis. Airport officials admit the business case to justify expanding the passenger terminal and lengthen the main runway remains a work in progress. “Air passenger usage cannot be developed to generate sufficient return to finance this project; however it is a requirement for economic development, regional transportation and community vibrancy.” The current plan’s first phase calls for the city to spend $9 million to lengthen Continued on page 5

Station Relocation: City studies plan to move heritage train station “This is a win for the city,” said Coun. Adam Candon, who supported the study. He says moving the old station also represents a chance to rejuvenate Doug Fluhrer Park, which he calls a forgotten gem of the downtown. “This part of the city, in my opinion, has been forgotten about for years. If we don’t even allow this conversation I feel like we’re going to sweep this part of the city under the rug for another 50 years.” Coun. Lisa Osanic is worried that ABNA’s conceptual drawings of the restored train station in the park are out of scale and could actually erode more of the park space than is being shown.

The March 24 recommendation approved by council directs city staff to begin talks with ABNA for the proposed land exchange and to report the findings back to council. Mayor Paterson says the motion represents a choice for council: champion the relocation scheme, or kill it. “I would like to see it killed,” argued Coun. Mary Rita Holland, who says moving a piece of heritage sets a dangerous precedent. She added: “Location matters.” But Doornekamp says it’s an all-or-nothing proposal for the train station – he won’t buy it if he can’t move it. “If we have to leave it in the same space we will walk away from it.”

News – An unusual proposal to move an abandoned 19th century train station from Kingston’s north end to a downtown park is moving full steam ahead. City council voted 9-4 to embark on a factfinding study with ABNA Investments, the company behind the proposed relocation of the old Grand Trunk Railway Outer Station on Montreal Street. “We’re obviously very excited about it. As most of the councillors stated, this is a fact finding mission. There’s still a lot of work to do, a lot things to satisfy both in regards to lands historically and the community,” said ABNA property manager Nate Doornekamp in an interview with The Kingston Heritage. The company, which specializes in restoring heritage properties, wants to pack up the limestone blocks of the abandoned 1850s train station and move them to a section of Doug Fluhrer Park along the Inner Harbour. In exchange for taking 0.15 hectares of municipal park space, ABNA proposes giving the city a 0.65-hectare sliver of waterfront land that it owns nearby. Doornekamp says the station relocation will make it more attractive for future commercial or residential uses. “It’s the proximity to downtown. It’s a better place to attract tenants. In its current location, as some of the councillors stated, there’s really nothing going on there.” Mayor Bryan Paterson agrees the move makes sense, noting the CN Rail-owned Outer Station has sat abandoned for decades and its current location is unattractive to potential developers.
“We need to be seen to be creative, to be smart, to be innovative - thinking outside the box. At the end of the day this is the last opportunity we may ever have to save the Outer Train Station.” But the project is not without critics who say relocating the bricks and mortar of a heritage site is tantamount to erasing part of the city’s history. “The heritage value would be far greater if it’s left in its current spot,” said Coun. Peter Stroud. Others worry the city may be wasting time getting involved in a process that it has little control over. ABNA has a conditional offer to purchase from CN Rail, but the project must clear federal heritage approvals before ABNA can take ownership. Doornekamp agrees the relocation plan is far from a done deal. “It is a complicated purchase. CN is staying on a shareholder, but we do have an out as an owner if we do not have the ability to move it.” He added: “CN is great to deal with. They understand how delicate the situations are. They understand that the timelines are unpredictable and they’re working with us.” Doornekamp says the Outer Station, which welcomed Kings and Queens and sent local troops off to war in its heyday, has a history of being difficult to repurpose at its current location. “It’s going to be a real leap of faith to try and jump start something out there. History has shown that a few people have tried and I don’t think they’ve gotten very far.” Several councillors agree the ABNA proposal is better than nothing.

the north-south runway from 5,000 to 6,000 feet in 2016/2017, and to spend a further $7 million in the second phase to expand and reconfigure the passenger terminal in 2019. Mayor Bryan Paterson says he is behind the ‘build it and they will come’ argument, noting airport expansion must occur in order to attract more carriers and passengers. The report to council also noted: “The implementation of expansion plans will indicate to carriers that Kingston Airport is fully supportive of improvements to allow development of their air services.” Airport officials went to council March 24 to seek an additional $37,500 to retain LPS AVIA, its consultant for the past few years, to continue to lobby airlines by gathering and providing market research, and to act on emerging opportunities.
En 2001, on a réalisé une conception préliminaire et une évaluation environnementale (ÉE) portant sur l’élargissement de l’autoroute 401 à partir de l’ouest du chemin de comté 38 (chemin Gardiners) jusqu’à la route 15. L’ÉE de 2001 recommandait la réfection et l’élargissement mineur du pont sur la rivière Cataraqui. Dans le cadre de l’étude en cours, des options pour la réfection ou le remplacement du pont ont été examinées et l’on a conclu que la solution techniquement préférable consisterait à remplacer complètement le pont par une structure plus large. Cette recommandation diffère sensiblement de cellle qui est indiquée dans l’ÉE de 2001 et l’on rédigera un addenda au rapport de cette dernière. CONSULTATION PUBLIQUE La présente séance d’information publique (SIP) vise à donner aux intervenants une occasion d’examiner et de commenter la solution techniquement préférable pour le remplacement proposé du pont et l’élargissement de l’autoroute 401 à six voies, y compris les répercussions potentielles, ainsi que les mesures d’atténuation suggérées. Le processus adopté pour évaluer les options de réfection ou de remplacement du pont sera également présenté. Les membres de l’équipe d’étude seront disponibles à la SIP pour discuter du projet et répondre à toutes vos questions. Coordonnées de la SIP : Date : Le mardi 14 avril 2015 Lieu : Camping Rideau Acres, Salle des banquets 1014, chemin Cunningham, Kingston (Ontario) Heure : De 16 h à 19 h LE PROCESSUS L’étude suit le processus approuvé pour les projets du groupe « B » en vertu de l’Évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les installations provinciales de transport (2000) et le public sera consulté pendant toute la durée du projet. On rédigera un addenda au rapport d’étude environnementale pour les transports (REET) afin de documenter le plan de remplacement recommandé, et on l’offrira en consultation publique durant une période de 30 jours.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Highway 401 Widening and Cataraqui River Bridge Rehabilitation/Replacement Detail Design Study (GWP 79-99-00) THE STUDY The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained MMM Group Limited to prepare the Detail Design for the widening of Highway 401 to six lanes from west of the Cataraqui River Bridge to west of the Highway 15 interchange in the City of Kingston (GWP 79-99-00). In 2001, a Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the widening of Highway 401 from west of County Road 38 (Gardiners Road) to Highway 15 was completed. The 2001 EA recommended the rehabilitation and minor widening of the Cataraqui River Bridge. As part of the ongoing study, a review of bridge rehabilitation and replacement alternatives has been completed. Based on this review, the full replacement of the bridge with a wider structure is recommended as the Technically Preferred Alternative. This recommendation differs significantly from that identified in the 2001 EA and an addendum to the 2001 EA report will be prepared. PUBLIC CONSULTATION This Public Information Centre (PIC) is being held to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to review and comment on the Technically Preferred Alternative for the proposed replacement of the Cataraqui River Bridge and for the widening of Highway 401 to six lanes, including potential impacts and proposed mitigation measures. The process used for the evaluation of bridge rehabilitation and replacement alternatives will also be presented. Members of the study team will be available at the PIC to discuss the project and respond to any questions you may have. The PIC is scheduled as follows: Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2015 Location: Rideau Acres Campground Banquet Hall 1014 Cunningham Road, Kingston, Ontario Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. THE PROCESS This study is being carried out in accordance with the approved planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the project. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) Addendum will be prepared to document the recommended plan for the replacement of the Cataraqui River Bridge and filed for a 30-day review period. The Detail Design for the widening of Highway 401 and replacement of the Cataraqui River Bridge (provided the TESR Addendum is approved), will be documented in a Design and Construction Report (DCR). The DCR will be filed for a 30-day public review period. Newspaper notices will be published to advertise the submission of both the TESR Addendum and DCR for public review to explain the review process and to identify locations where the documents can be reviewed. COMMENTS The ministry is interested in any information, comments or questions that you have regarding this project. If you are unable to attend the PIC but wish to provide input, please contact: Mr. Lincoln MacDonald Consultant Project Manager MMM Group Limited 1145 Hunt Club Road, Suite 300 Ottawa, ON K1V 0Y3 tel: 613-736-7200 toll-free: 1-877-998-9912 fax: 613-736-8710 e-mail: macdonaldl@mmm.ca

Field trip to Tinseltown: Kingston students rub elbows with Hollywood glitterati Continued from page 1
Studios to Warner Brothers to Disneyland, and participated in a number of workshops such as improv, makeup and acting. “The whole city kind of feels like a movie set,” observed Holy Cross Grade 11 student Andrew Hurt. “The attitude in LA is very different from somewhere small like Kingston. Everyone was selling something…everyone is an actor, actress or musician and they’re trying to make it. I like that drive.” Of course, a trip to Hollywood wouldn’t be complete without some sort of brush with fame, which the students got in spades following viewing a recording of the sitcom Mom. “We got to meet the cast, so we met [the show’s stars] Anna Faris and Allison Janney,” Hurt explained. “And a cool surprise was Chris Pratt [Anna Faris’ husband and star of Parks and Recreation and Guardians of the Galaxy] and Octavia Spencer [Oscar winner for The Help] also happened to be there.” Meeting and chatting with Chris Pratt in particular was an extremely exciting experience for many of the students. “A lot of the guys, we kind of acted like little kids again,” Hurt laughed. “It was like meeting a superhero. They were really nice people, really down to earth. We got to ask them questions about how we go from where we are to where they are.” He added that it was interesting to see how what he and his fellow students are learning in their SHSM [Specialist High Skills Major] focus program applies to real life. “It basically enriches kids who want to go into the tech field,” explained Grade 12 student Claudia Pawlak of the program. “It provides us with a bunch of opportunities to get out into the field early - on the high school level, but still with experience in some of the jobs [we will be ap-
plying for].” Pawlak is working on building a career as a professional photographer, and remarked that one of the highlights for her of the Los Angeles trip was seeing first-hand what goes on behind the scenes of a TV show. “Most people don’t have the opportunity to see that. It’s such a fastpaced environment and everything is so organized. The director will say ‘cut’ and everybody just knows what to do at that point.” Simply observing the level of hard work and dedication it takes to succeed was also educational for the students. “Everyone had some sort of creativity in their bones, but it was more about who went after it the most who had the biggest drive,” said Hurt. “In LA, in a city where everyone is creative and imaginative, you have to separate yourself from everyone else. I learned that more than being creative you have to be persistent in that creativity.” SHSM teacher John Esford explained that this is the program’s third trip to Hollywood in seven years, and that they try to alternate between the field’s two “meccas”, Los Angeles and New York City, every other year. “The kids were in seventh heaven over the trip,” he noted. “The brush with fame really was the icing on the cake. Some of the students were actually trembling, almost in tears. It really touched a nerve with them; it was very special.” Esford’s hope is that the kids came away from the trip excited about possible career options. “It was a very entertaining experience, but there was an educational structure to it also. We’re exposing them to a variety of careers from Hollywood makeup artists to directors to camera operators. I’m hoping it will inspire the students to pursue one of those fields. It’s great for the kids to see what’s out there and the possibilities.”
Time to prioritize: Councillors gather on Queen’s campus to set strategic goals
Editorial – Councillors have gone back to school to talk about the city’s future. They traded the familiar confines of City Hall for a classroom setting at the Queen’s School of Business for two nights of meetings on March 30 and 31 to set their strategic priorities. In some ways, it seemed like it could be an anti-climactic affair. Councillors have already been chomping at the bit during the past three months to put their own visions into action. Since January, they have collectively introduced close to 30 individual motions – a staggering average of five motions per council meeting - many aimed at creating, changing or undoing policies. The list is broad; future of the Marine Museum, Wellington Street extension, scrapping the need for an Integrity Commissioner, partnering with school boards, shelving the city’s North Block development. ‘Motion’ is certainly the word that describes this council’s appetite for change. So when they gathered for priority workshops, many of the topics they covered were familiar or even formalized. Some councillors want to pick up where the last council left off by pressing ahead with the third bridge crossing, affordable housing, economic development, Brownfields clean up, active transportation and other sustainable initiatives. But at press time (prior to the meetings) it seemed likely some new priorities could also emerge. Mayor Paterson wants to put some of his ‘smart city’ campaign issues into action, such as strategies to promote youth employment, Inner Harbour development, broadening the tax base, expanding the airport, and the notion of ‘living within our means’ when it comes to approving tax-and-spend budgets. Councillors have their individual wish lists as well. Coun. Hutchison,
for example, said he would push his colleagues to allocate another $10 million to build an apartment building to offer permanent affordable rents. There is nothing wrong with having a council that knows what it wants, and what it can or can’t afford. Strategic priorities also help staff carry out the vision of elected officials, as opposed to wasting time on projects that no longer enjoy broad political support. The workshops provide councillors with an opportunity for team building and goodwill - something that’s often hard to do in the political bubble of City Hall where debates can easily derail into bad feelings. For the most part, this group of political veterans and rookies has managed to hold it together in the public eye. Their tone around the horseshoe is civil. They manage to disagree without shouting at each other. But there are signs the political Honeymoon may be ending. In recent council meetings, some of the debates have become more fractious and the votes much closer. Block voting patterns have emerged between the left and the right. And the mayor’s patience as Chair appears to wear thin at times. Then again, no one expected this would be a get-along gang all the time. It’s a shame this council didn’t meet sooner to hold these priority talks. It could’ve spared them the angst of debating some topics over and over again – like the Marine Museum and Wellington extension fates - searching for a compromise without getting into compromising positions. The high-profile history of these strategic goal-setting workshops goes back to 2004 when the so-called Group of 7’ priorities burst onto the civic scene, and they’ve become a must-do fixture of every new council ever since. Now, the time has come for this group to spell out its collective vision. Much of what’s decided in a rent-free lecture room on the Queen’s campus will determine the quality of life for residents - and the size of our tax bills - for years to come.

Editorial
In Our Opinion Jumping on the amazing audiobook bandwagon and wondering why it took me so long More hydro shenanigans: burdensome rate increase looms for residents pick me up after school and I would assist her at work and on the way there I would hear snippets of the latest book. The books were usually the latest Danielle Steel novel or some other bestseller and I would turn my nose up at it, but part of me actually enjoyed listening to the story. I remember wondering what happened after I left the car and she continued on with the story the next day. I think I even asked my mom to fill in the rest of the story for me at one point. After that I never really thought of audiobooks again, until a few weeks ago I recently started going to the gym a couple of times a week (or I try to at least) and I was googling how to pass the time while working out. I find music boring and I hate watching stupid television on the machines that I would never watch on my own. On one website someone suggested audiobooks and I was intrigued. They commented that it helps pass the time, allows them to read more and often encourages them to go to the gym more, especially if they limit listening to only at the gym. I was sold and I immediately started looking for options online. I found numerous websites that allow audiobook
Editorial - For as long as I can remember reading has been my thing. I love reading books, poems, plays, graphic novels – pretty much anything written. This love of reading is the reason I chose to pursue an English degree and ultimately a career in writing, but over the past few years I’ve found it harder and harder to make time for the hobby – then I discovered audiobooks. I’ll admit I’ve always been a bit of a snob when it comes to audiobooks. I always viewed them as cheating and almost like watching the movie instead of reading the book. I remember when I was a teenager my mom used to listen to them all the time in the car. She had a job that required her to travel, via car, to and from different locations on a weekly basis. On long stretches or traffic filled afternoons she listened to books on tape (yes, they were on tape at the time). Occasionally she would
downloads and even discovered that public libraries lend out digital copies of audiobooks - who knew? I found that everything from classic literature to New York Times bestsellers are available as audiobooks and I was very excited. I downloaded a book I had been thinking of buying and started listening at the gym. As cliché as it sounds. it was love at first listen. It was incredibly soothing and helped pass the time, and it really made me wonder why I hadn’t been listening to audiobooks all along. Listening to books could have helped me so much in my undergrad and maybe I would have been able to get through my very long reading lists if I had listened to books on my way to and from campus each day instead of crappy radio. There are certainly books that I still want to read in print or in digital form, but with this new found love for audiobooks I can get through my ‘to be read’ list a lot faster. Audiobooks make me excited to go to the gym now (well, sort of) and they certainly make long commutes in the car more appealing. I am happy I gave the medium another chance and I encourage you to do the same.

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide
Editorial - Last week, the Ontario government announced changes to how your electricity bill will look in 2016. Gone is the automatic 10 per cent reduction known as the ‘clean-energy’ benefits, which averaged $17 a month for most residents. The debt retirement surcharge of $5.60, originally designed to help pay off costs associated with the province’s nuclear program, is also coming off. When it’s all said and done, the net result will be an increase $11.40 to most residents’ hydro bills, unless you’re deemed to be lowincome, in which case you may qualify for a new credit of $20 to $50 per month. While we applaud the credits targeted to benefit the province’s most vulnerable residents, we can’t help but feel like more should be done to alleviate the increased financial burden most residents will shoulder as a result of these changes. Ontario already has one of the most expensive electricity delivery systems in North America. Why in this time of fiscal restraint are they saddling most residents with what amounts to a bill increase of $137 per year? The generation and distribution of electricity in Ontario is reasonably efficient according to credible reports and accounts; however, the province’s embrace of expensive generation systems, first nuclear and then renewables such as wind and solar, has meant that we all shoulder a bit more than our neighbours. Now, we do feel that combatting climate change by moving toward sustainable development is a worthwhile policy objective, but this latest increase seems more like a shameless cash grab. The province has made no secret of its financial woes, and is said to be considering plans to privatize either some or all of Ontario Hydro in incremental phases to help fight the deficit. Critics argue this will only increase the financial burden passed on to the consumers, as shareholder dividends would inevitably syphon off revenues that would have otherwise been used to fund critical programs such as health care and education. Surely there are better ways to combat the deficit than these poorly wrought excuses for public policy? A progressive carbon levy, pay per use roadways or slight increases to the corporate tax rate (already the lowest in North America) would all help bolster provincial coffers in infinitely more equitable ways than what amounts to this flat-tax callously downloaded to residents. We demand greater transparency with how revenues are raised in this province –but most of all, we demand a break.

Kingston becomes first city in Canada to give life-saving app “a pulse” mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – On Sept. 9, Chet Babcock travelled to the Invista Centre to play hockey. Babcock has played hockey his entire life and now, even as a retired schoolteacher, he continues to play. He remembers skating on the ice that day, but he doesn’t remember much else. “I guess I collapsed. My heart went into ventricular fibrillation and the problem with that is that your heart stops,” explained Babcock. “Fortunately, two of my teammates came to me and started CPR while another team member called 911 and another came out into the foyer looking for an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). Without all of that I probably wouldn’t have survived.” Babcock’s teammates worked fast and kept his heart going until an ambu-

lance arrived and a volunteer firefighter used an AED to shock his heart. But sadly, many others who experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) aren’t so lucky. This year, 40,000 Canadians will suffer from a SCA - one every 13 minutes. Many of those who suffer will do so out of hospital and in public places and without CPR, proper use of an AED and immediate medical attention many of them will not survive. That is where PulsePoint comes in, a new app that is designed to help this process. PulsePoint is a free mobile app used by emergency first responders to alert CPR-trained users when someone in a nearby public place needs CPR. It also shows CPR-trained individuals where to find a public defibrillator if one is close. The app is currently being used in many cities across the United States and had yet to cross the border until now. “We are really excited to be the first city in Canada to get on board,” said Kingston Fire and Rescue Chief Rheaume Chaput at the launch. “The app gets the community involved and allows people with CPR training to help
those in need.” Dr. Steven Brooks, an emergency physician and clinician-scientist at Kingston General Hospital and Queen’s University, learned about the app last year and approached KFR to ask for their help launching it in the city. KFR and Chief Chaput were immediately on board and on March 23 they celebrated the official launch at the Invista Centre. “Bystander CPR and public access to defibrillators are two things we know can improve survival of these patients. The problem is that we know in most cases those things don’t happen,” explained Brooks at the launch. “PulsePoint to me seems to be one of the most viable solutions to this problem. It helps those in need get the help they need immediately.” PulsePoint works in conjunction with local emergency services. When a Kingston Fire and Rescue Chief Rheaume Chaput spoke of the imporcall is placed to those services regard- tance of the PulsePoint app at the launch on March 23.

and the ability to bring in expertise that we don’t have in house, but it also allows us to restore items that we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise,” said Alicia Boutilier, Curator of Canadian Historical Art at the centre. “These pieces are all regionally based and it really shows the variety and lushness of clothing that women were wearing in Kingston in the 19th century.” MacKay and Neale have been sharing their work with Queen’s students and others in the museum community over the past few weeks, but there are no plans for a special exhibit to showcase their work. Instead, they hope to publish their work and they hope others benefit from it. “There is very little written about this period of dress in Canada, so it is important to get the work out there,” said MacKay. “The exposure is also wonderful for the collection moving forward and we hope more people are interested for that reason.” For more information on the project an the permanent collection visit www.agnes.queensu. ca

That is what dress historian Elaine MacKay and textile conservator Emma Neale wanted to find out – and they’ve learned a lot over the past three months. “The project is to look at women’s clothing as a way of putting together a biography about them,” explained MacKay, a long time dress historian. “We assume that clothing reflects who we are and we wanted to turn that around and see if it works the other way too, and it does seem to pretty well.” MacKay worked on the project with intern and textile conservator Emma Neale; they are recipients of The Isabel Bader Fellowship and Internship in Textile Conservation and Research, which is awarded to two successful applicants every two years and sponsored by Dr. Isabel Bader. The duo started the project by choosing a couple of garments from the expansive Queen’s University Collection of Canadian Dress at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, which includes more that 2,500 items. “Some of the pieces really spoke to us and one was even beyond repair, but we wanted to see what we could do,” said Neale. “My background is in military clothing, so this was a big change for me and I certainly learned a lot about silhouettes and the different women who wore them.” Their work included research into a gown worn by Laura Roche at her coming out party, Eliza Gordon’s new dress as she embarked on a new chapter of her life wedded to Rev. D. M. Gordon, and an outfit owned by Mrs. W. R. P. Bridger, wife of a Royal Military College professor. “The most interesting thing I learned was that you can in fact tell a lot about a person from how they dress,” said MacKay. “We’ve had a lot of great discoveries. Each piece is very unique and has its own story and that is so special.” The project has also been very special for the art gallery itself. While the Queen’s University Collection of Canadian Dress is a permanent collection at the centre, it usually doesn’t receive so much attention, especially when it comes to conservation. “The program not only gives us fresh eyes

Scrapping Wellington Street extension will impact other projects, city staff warn News – Both sides in the Wellington Street extension debate are turning up the heat on city politicians. But councillors appear in no rush to make a final decision on whether to proceed with the controversial 2.6 kilometre roadway. The issue returned to council March 24 after city staff provided a lengthy report on the implications of cancelling the downtown road project. But the report was quickly shelved until May, giving councillors and the public more time to review whether the Wellington extension should even be included in the latest update to the city’s Transportation Master Plan. The staff report says the proposed road extension, following an abandoned rail line between Bay and Montreal Streets, has been the focus of significant municipal policies and studies over many years to “set the stage for integrated community development in the inner harbour and old industrial areas.” There will need to be an extensive overhaul of some of those municipal policies, along with potential impacts on other projects, in order to cancel the road project at this stage, staff concluded. Killing the extension will have impacts. Among them; -undertake a new environmental assessment and Official Plan amendments to identify alternative options for north-south transportation improvements, -unbudgeted costs to revamp existing roads to meet future transportation needs, -increased risk of not achieving housing and density targets, -threaten the completion of the K&P Trail to Anglin Bay, -delay improvements to Doug Fluhrer Park, the southern terminus of the proposed extension, -change the bylaw for Development Charges, which has already collected funding for the new road. The impacts were spelled out two weeks after council expressed a willingness to rethink the need for the downtown roadway by studying alternative solutions. While councillors have not yet debated the conclusions of the staff report, several citizens appeared at City Hall to weigh in on the findings. “This report is not what council asked for,” said Anne Lougheed, who represents the anti-extension group Wellingtonx. Lougheed described the report
as “misleading” and “one sided,” and questioned why scrapping the extension would delay other priorities, such as sprucing up Doug Fluhrer Park or extending the K&P Trail further into the downtown. She also dismissed suggestions that killing the two-lane road will impact future housing and commercial growth, or throw the city’s long-term transportation plans into turmoil. “The extension is not a magic bullet.” However, several business leaders also took turns at the podium to voice support for the “Wellington Street completion.” Ken Dantzer of the Kingston Homebuilders Association says cancelling the road will have “costly and unintended impacts.” He reminded council that developers have already paid into a special fund to help finance the road’s construction, estimated to cost $24
million. “There’s 20 years of collected development charges for this road.” Martin Sherris, chief executive of the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce, says building the road will open up the inner harbour area to Brownfields clean up and development, and help to ease future traffic congestion. “Traffic growth and congestion are not sustainable.” Ed Smith, chair of the downtown business association, also expressed the need to improve traffic flows into and out of the downtown. “If not the Wellington Street extension what is the alternative?” He added: “Council has a responsibility to plan for the long term.” The direction approved by councillors sets the stage for a new environmental study of alternative options, a process that could take
at least another year. City officials say they will produce a further report later this spring to lay out a new timeline and budget to review the alternatives. The original 2008-approved environmental assessment laid the groundwork for the Wellington Street extension to proceed, but successive councils did not want to make it a priority. Critics say that study is now outdated and out of touch with the city’s sustainability policies. The extension was thrust into the political spotlight recently by Coun. Rob Hutchison, who wanted council to formally scrap the project. However, he agreed to soften his motion to first explore other transportation solutions such as turning Montreal and Rideau into one-way streets to handle future traffic flows.

Frontenac Islands budget deliberations call for major decisions By Margaret Knott
News- Frontenac Islands’ many budget meetings provided the opportunity for those requesting consideration for specific projects, community boards or events to do so. Wolfe Island Community Centre Board (CCB) member Paul Hogan and Howe Island’s Fire and Rescue Chief Mike Quinn were among them. 1. With Paul Hogan much of the discussion revolved around WI’s artificial ice pad and the annual Music Festival. It is expected that the CCB expenditures for 2015 (rink, ball diamonds, shed, etc. ) will total some $107,423, with revenues coming from user fees. Donations and the net of fundraising/costs will be placed in reserves.No decision was made with regard to the rink-roof-loan repayment, (a $600,000 grant was applied for; $445,000 was received) although a payment of $200,000 was suggested. The roof cost $542,069. To date there have been interest charges and interest earned on the loan. That will
change when repayment begins. Further, with the CCB now fully a part of township operations, all funds formerly held by them ($271,755) mostly donations, user fees and fundraising, were transferred to the municipality as recommended by the auditors. In an interesting discussion Mayor Doyle spoke of the merits of heavy curtains around the rink to cut wind and snow thus providing better rink and less electricity use. The Mayor believes that since the rink loan was “half a million” and given the low interest rate (and public opinion), it might be better to buy and install the curtains ($90,000) and put the remainder of the loan toward the loan. Councillor Grant favoured returning the unused portion of the loan to the lender to reduce the debt and save or borrow for curtains. Councillor Springgay and Paul Hogan both members of the CCB want quotes for the coverings but no installation until 2016. Hogan also brought forward a number of options regarding ser-
vices and maintenance related to the Community Centre grounds and facility, presently done by volunteers or contracted out. He suggested using a township employee and charging the CCB budget. That approach would require the purchase of an industrial mower for overall township use. **Before formalising the amount to be repaid from the loan for the rink roof, the approximate cost of curtains and for painting and rust proofing the facility will be determined. With regard to Music Fest, Hogan said that the financial benefit for the event as a fund raiser is about $10,000 , and is very labour intensive for island volunteers, thus runs the risk of their burnout. The Question :Are there other options such as renting out ? C.A.O. Plumley will research options with Music Fest organizers. 2. Howe Island Fire Department Budget. Chief Quinn provided a summary
of the communications issues (in particular pagers-phones etc.) all due to frequency changes facing the municipality related to Ambulance, Police and Fire intercommunication. He also identified increased expenses for a tower relocation and rental fees and additional Bell lines. Vehicle maintenance cost reductions were identified with a long term strategy being developed for their replacement, to be provided to Council for comment. 3. At a March 18th budget meeting an intense review of the Howe Island ferry budget was undertaken and amended with reductions in lubrication, fuel costs and increased spending for its inspection by a marine engineer. There was discussion regarding MacDonald Park, a boat ramp,(for and against); a revamped possibly re-located Community Garden; Bleachers at the WI Community Centre. Staff will purchase :* a wireless portable sound system; arrange a meeting with XKG re status

Cataraqui Woods students excited to participate in historical singing of O Canada By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – For most kids, singing the national anthem isn’t very exciting; they sing O Canada every morning at school and while they all proudly stand, they may not give the song the attention it deserves. A new project from Hometown Music hopes to change that; in an effort to make the anthem more fun, they are travelling across the country recording elementary school students as they sing the anthem, and getting them excited about Canada. The project is called ‘Hometown Proud’ and it aims to create commemorative projects within elementary schools across the country for future generations to see. Kingston and the students at Cataraqui Woods Elementary School will be part of this project, and over the past few weeks they have been practicing and perfecting their singing skills. “They sing O Canada every morning and we have a practice video that they can sing along with too,” said Principal Tom Fielding. “The kids are starting to get excited and the anticipation is cer-
tainly building with them.” Fielding heard about the project a few months ago and after seeing that there was a call for applicants he quickly applied. Cataraqui Woods was then chosen to represent Kingston and is one of 82 schools in 40 cities across Canada that will participate in the recording of O Canada. “They will come to the school on April 15 and they will record in groups of 50 to 100 students until they get all of the students in the school singing O Canada. The idea is to amalgamate it with all of the other schools across the country and create one large production.” Hometown Music has also expressed their desire to try and break records with their mass recording and maybe even go for the Guinness Record for most people singing an anthem together, something Fielding finds pretty exciting. “It’s great to be part of such a big project and for the kids this is a once in a lifetime experience. I really hope they enjoy it.” Mrs. Griffin’s Grade 4/5 class at Cataraqui Woods has been practicing almost daily and many of the students
are enjoying singing along to the anthem more often. “I’m getting excited and I am excited for when we actually record and then seeing it after too,” said student Danica Hassen. “We sing every day, but this is more fun.” Some students even expressed excitement for certain parts of the song. “My favorite part is the ‘stand on guard for thee’ part,” said Cameron Owen. “It makes me feel proud.” Students in the school will also be contributing video entries to the project’s documentary and digital time capsule, and Fielding has been working with Grade 8 students on what they will present. “We want to present Kingston and briefly talk about the history of the city,” he said. “I’d also like to get the school to maybe coordinate Students in Mrs. Griffin’s Grade 4/5 class practice singing O Canada in in terms of wearing red and white, preparation for their national recording session on April 15.

“TEXT with 9-1-1” launched in Kingston area for persons with hearing loss, speech impairments The Kingston Police has launched a new program making it possible for the deaf, deafened, hard of hearing or speech impaired (DHHSI) community to communicate with emergency 911 services. On March 24, they announced the launch of Text-9-1-1, which allows members of the DHHSI community to call 9-1-1 during an emergency and converse with an operator using text message rather than by voice. Specialized software will allow the 9-1-1 communi-
cations staff to recognize the call as coming from a registered phone, associated with the DHHSI community, and text back and forth with the caller to address the emergency. There will be no need for a caller to be able to speak or hear. There is no cost for the service, but registered users will require a valid wireless subscription for text messaging. The program is available to residents of Kingston, as well as Howe and Wolfe Islands, which receive 9-1-1 service from
Kingston Police. “Providing the Text with 9-1-1 service to our community will increase accessibility to emergency services, and in turn increase the safety of the Kingston area as a whole,” said Chief Gilles Larochelle. “Whether a call for police, fire or ambulance, the call is important, and we need to have the resources to ensure our response is accurate and timely. This step forward is a part of our ongoing public safety collaborative with all our

tact 9-1-1 quickly and efficiently. We are thankful that the Kingston Police have made this happen.” As of March 2015 a total number of 1,375 persons from the DHHSI community have nationally registered for T9-1-1, with almost 500 of those coming from the province of Ontario.

Marysville PS wins recycle my cell challenge By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Have an old and outdated cell phone that needs to be recycled? Students at Marysville Public School on Wolfe Island will gladly accept it - or maybe they already have; for the second year in a row, the school has won the ‘Recycle My Cell’ challenge in Ontario, collecting the most phones per student capita in the province. “We collected 48 phones this year, less than last year so we were excited to win again,” said teacher Tom Rich-
ards. “Students were really passionate about it, collecting from friends and family and making it a bit of a competition and it paid off.” More than 130 schools from across the country participated in the 2014 edition of the challenge, which was held from Oct. 20 to Nov. 21. The schools collected more than 5,200 wireless devices, along with 262 kilograms of wireless accessories and batteries. As a reward, the school that collected the most wireless devices in each participating province and territory received a $500 donation to support the school’s green initiatives.
Students and teachers at Marysville PS won the ‘Recycle My Cell’ competition for the second year in a row. They collected 48 cell phones from Oct. 20 to Nov. 21 2014. “Last year we used part of the money for transportation costs for fields trips off the island and we also purchased a water barrel to help us water our garden here at the school,” said Richards. “I’m not sure what we will do with this money, but I am sure we will come up with something.” The school also participates in
other green initiatives throughout the school year, including waste reduction week where they try to minimize the garbage in their lunches, as well as Earth Hour and Earth Day activities; more recently they have been collecting batteries that will be properly recycled. The students also plant trees in the community areas on the island whenever they can.
Richards enjoys helping the kids with these projects and feels that it provides an important lesson. “I think it is important for the kids to be aware of the fact that small things can be done to help the environment and prolong our use. It also helps them realize that there is use beyond the life of a cell phone, it’s not a simple throw away. They can be reused and broken down for parts.” From the 5,200 devices that were collected for recycling, approximately 83 kilograms of copper and 2 kilograms of silver will be recovered; more important, those elements will not end up in landfills or in the water. Richards hopes the students understand how important this is, and he hopes that the school continues to win in the future. “We will definitely be participating again next year, although I think we may have depleted our stores of devices now. Hopefully people will buy new devices before then.” For more information about the *selected areas only ‘Recycle My Cell’ program visit www.recyclemycell.ca

Kiwala announces new Ontario Electricity Support Program By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Electricity costs have been making headlines recently and as costs continue to rise, so do anxiety levels of consumers. For some households, electricity costs only amount to about two per cent or less of their total annual income, but for low-income families these costs can rise to as high as 10 per cent of their annual income, making electricity bills extremely hard to balance. To help with this cost, the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit was created in 2011. It provided a 10 per cent bill credit for low-income households, however that benefit is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2015. In response to this approaching expiry date and in response to advocacy groups like the Low-income Energy Network, the Minister of Energy announced a new program on March 26 that will assist low-income families. The Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) will begin on Jan. 1, 2016 . On March 27, MP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, spoke about the program and it’s benefits at the Kingston Family YMCA. “We acknowledge that paying a monthly electricity bill is often a challenge for low-income families,” said Kiwala. “With the new OESP those most in need will receive the most benefit and the program will not create a burden for other customers.”
Kiwala went on to explain that the proposed implementation of the OESP would coincide with the removal of the Debt Retirement Charge for all residential consumers at the end of 2015, which will also result in savings. “Our government is committed to building Ontario up as we work with each other to continue to develop a safe, clean and reliable electricity network” added Kiwala. “We are working very hard to make sure electricity is affordable and accessible to all Ontarians.” With the new OESP, qualifying consumers will receive a predetermined credit on their monthly electricity bill, ranging from $20 to $50 a month. Kiwala went on to add that a family of four with an annual income of $28,000 or less will see about $525 in savings annually from the OESP and the removal of the Debt Retirement Charge. Kiwala chose to make her announcement at the YMCA because of the programs that are offered through the community centre and she urged those in attendance to spread the word about the new OESP. “In order to make this program as suc- MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, was joined by Angela Kimmett, general manager for the cessful as possible we need your help.

Agricultural career opportunities abound
A career in agriculture can prove richly rewarding. While it’s common to envision overalls and tractors when imagining careers in agriculture, the opportunities to work in the agriculture industry stretch beyond the farm and into the corporate world. The following are a few of the paths men and women with a passion for agriculture can pursue. * Business: Agriculture is big business, and the industry has many opportunities for those who want to pursue a career in business. Farmers and producers of agricultural products need someone to draft contracts for their agreements with the large corporations who distribute those products. In ad-
dition, purchasing agents and agricultural financiers are just two of the many career opportunities that enable men and women to work on the business side of agriculture. * Social service: The agricultural industry also has positions of social service. In addition to food inspector, who ensures agricultural products are safe for human consumption, social service positions within the agricultural industry include environmental consultant and conservation officer. Men and women can also work to develop programs that encourage youngsters to pursue careers in the agricultural industry. * Production: Of course, the agricultural industry has a host of careers for those who
want to get their hands dirty. Farms need to be plowed, seeds must be planted and fertilized and farms need to be well-maintained to continue operating efficiently and effectively. Though technology has taken the place of many agricultural production positions, there are still many opportunities out there for those who want to work under the sun. * Education: Those who want to share their love of agriculture with others can put their skills to work in the classroom. Agricultural instructors can train the next generation of agriculture professionals at the university or high school level, ensuring today’s farms are left in good hands

Queen’s student learns about the difference sports can make in the community at TO2015 Youth Summit By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News - This summer, a large portion of the GTA will be taken over by the third largest international multi-sport games – the Pan Am and Para Pan Am games. While many people wait with anticipation, some students in Ontario got in on the action early. On March 21 and 22, 300 youth ages 16-24 met in Toronto for the TO2015 Youth Summit and Queen’s student John Dale was incredibly happy to be one of them. “It as a fantastic experience and one that I will remember forever,” said Dale after returning to Kingston. “I’ve been so impacted by sports throughout my entire life and I have learned so much by playing sports. I really wanted to continue learning through this experience.” The Youth Summit was organized to help introduce the games to youth across the province and get them excited, but it also aimed to motivate and inspire youth to live healthy, active lives while providing them with the tools to build communities rich in sport, arts and culture. “When I came to Queen’s I wanted to make a bigger difference within the Kingston youth community,” said Dale,
who is also a member of the Queen’s Varsity Lacrosse team. “I wanted to impact with youth through sport and with the lacrosse team we always hold youth events. We teach kids about the game and we have a mentorship role with them; but I thought there was an opportunity to do more and I was hoping that the Youth Summit would help with that. The two-day summit featured a number of guest speakers, such as Toronto Raptors player Greivis Vasquez, Canadian Paralympian Stephanie Dixon, former Toronto Argonauts coach Michael “Pinball” Clemons and Canadian Paralympian Rick Hansen. Each shared their stories of triumph and trials and offered advice on how to get more involved in community sports and how to build better communities through that involvement. Dale’s favourite was Mike “Pinball” Clemens. “He is so energetic and what he said was that ‘sports speak to youth in a language that they can understand.’ He also said that ‘sport is better than any government at breaking down racial barriers’ and those two things really stuck with me. Everything he says is so inspirational and he really encouraged all of us to
start small, smile more, tell people they are awesome every day and just build from there.” Participants in the summit also went to different parts of Toronto to learn about the impact sports have on individuals and how their lives have been shaped by sport. “The biggest take away for me was how important sport is for youth development,” said Dale. “You can go to any country and no matter what the conflict is, you will find that sport is a universal language. Everybody knows what sport is and everyone can participate. There is so much to be learned through sport, leadership and setting goals and dreams.” Dale hopes to bring all of the things he learned back to his teammates and encourages them to get more involved. He also hopes to increase the number of youth sport events he is part of. In the long-term Dale hopes to one-day work for a John Dale (far right) with participants in the TO2015 Youth Summit and major sports group, but for now he is Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. just interested in doing all he can for up,” he said. “I want to have some age them to get involved whenever the community. “I am hoping to work for the sort of impact with sports on a they can and teach them about the Olympics on the organizing com- broader scale and I want to engage power of sport and the impact it can mittee, but we’ll see where I end with youth more and really encour- have on their lives.”

Platinum model. My 4-door SuperCrew 4X4 XLT from Carleton Ford, equipped with the 5.0 L V8 came in at $50,479 (all prices before destination charges, taxes, and any current incentives). For your money, the F150 XLT is well equipped with the usual niceties plus power heated signalized tow-mirrors, rear camera with hitch-assist, power adjustable pedals, 8-way power driver seat, trailer towing package (with a smart link to the trailer wiring to help diagnose trailer light/ brake troubles), tubular side-steps, 18” aluminum wheels, and satellite radio with navigation just to touch on the highlights. For those worried about the cost of repairing aluminum body panels and higher insurance premiums, the venerable Consumer Reports Magazine completed a study earlier this year that revealed no excessive collision repair prices over steel (if completed by a qualified repair centre), and so far insurance firms haven’t hiked premiums for this model. Aluminum hood panels have been in use on many vehicles for a number of years and many body shops are quite capable of dealing with this material. An added benefit to aluminum body panels comes with their increased thickness over today’s steel components making them less prone to denting from small impacts. The race to create the perfect truck cab interior has heated up to the boiling point and Ford doesn’t disappoint with a spacious, quiet, and well-laid out seating and controls. Outward views benefit from increased door glass size and a lower hood line. Ford is the first maker to offer a 360 degree camera system on a full-sized pickup making tight space maneuvering and trailer connecting a breeze. Wide opening-angle rear doors on my SuperCrew tester welcome rear-seat passengers into the roomiest set of seats in the business with
fold-up bottoms that provide cargo space equal to or better than many crossovers and minivans. The 2015 F150 comes with 4 choices of engines; a 2.7 L and 3.5 L Ecoboost, a naturally aspirated 3.5 L (all V6’s) and a 5.0 L V8. Ford has been able to post some very attractive fuel mileage figures with the Ecoboost series but real world results will vary widely depending on how much time these engines are in boost range and that depends on very unpredictable drivers’ habits. If you’re a gentle driver and have had no problem getting close to or beating published specs on your past rides, the Ecoboost may be for you. If you’re a little heavier on the foot the non-turbo versions may be worth reviewing. When you take 700 lbs out of a light truck’s total weight while still offering torque and horsepower ratings approaching the 400 mark, there’s always some concern about how the new pony will handle. The F150 is definitely lighter on its feet, more agile and responsive, but thanks to a complete reworking of the front and rear suspension along with a fleet of collision and control mitigation technologies, this Ford keeps things well planted and manageable with ease. Acceleration was strong and smooth, braking confident with easy pedal application and even on very rough frost-heaved roads there was no axle hop or excessive cornering body roll. My F150 with its 5.0 L engine and 6-speed automatic is NRCan fuel rated at 16.0 L/100 km city and 11.3 highway (17.7 and 25.0 mpg respectively). Its 136 L tank should deliver a mixed driving range of around 900 km and cost about $130 to fill with regular unleaded at the $1.00/L mark. This new F150 merits a close look if you’re in the market for a new truck and the best way to appreciate its handling is with back-to-back test drives against the competition. Give it a spin soon.

Ballet: a feted feat of the feet Ballerinas moves across the stage like elegant fairies dwelling in a forest of the Otherworld. Many the young child dreams of being on that stage. In December, I attended a matinee performance of New York City Ballet’s Nutcracker. It was ideal timing for those whose bedtimes arrive before 9 p.m. As I looked around the sold-out 2586-seat theatre during
intermission, I smiled: more than half of those in attendance were pre-teens, each in her or his personal dream. For many, it was a first introduction to live ballet. Chloe, a six-year-old beside me, smiled throughout the entire first act, her legs not quite reaching the ground, wiggling back and forth. As the curtain closed on Act One, she stood and twirled. I see the same reaction when children see ballerinas I’m working with in public around Kingston. Frankly, I often see adults in awe of dancers. One of my photo sessions in January involved three dancers—Kara Gooding, Meggi Graham and Natalie Palma— visiting a Grade 3/4 class at
St. John XXIII Catholic School. The dancers moved slowly around the classroom while children worked, first in reading time, and then language arts. At the end of lessons, the ballerinas answered questions during a talkback. The children grilled them. They were fascinated to learn that the dancers train longer and harder than many professional athletes. Dance enthralls us. During one of my recent Tett open studios, a gentleman asked me about the history of the tutu. Public misconceptions regarding dance are rampant. Something I’ve heard consistently from the uninformed and culturally inept is the notion that ballet is not healthy for dancers, that they bend and twist in ways that aren’t good for them, that damage their bodies. That may happen—especially for dancers who work en pointe too early—with inept teachers in schools that push children to do things that are developmentally inappropriate with regard to their physiology, but it won’t happen in ballet training with professional teachers who themselves understand a child’s physical development and its relationship to dance. As for the tutu’s history: ballet has been around since the 1500s, the tutu, not so long. Today, the tutu is synonymous with classical ballet. It is believed that Marie Taglioni (1804–1884) wore the first tutu on stage in La Sylphide in 1832. Others point to Virginia Zucci in the 1880s, because her dress bore a stronger resemblance to the modern tutu. As the technical skills of ballet intensified, and as the footwork became more intricate and required increased training and skills, it became natural to allow the public to see what the body was doing. The tutu developed so the audience could witness the fine art of the dancer. Most early tutus were white. Today, tutus come in a wide range of colors and styles. Nothing beats the elaborate
Anna Povlova of the Imperial Ballet of Russia in 1914.
costumes worn in George Balanchine’s Jewels, where the ballerinas appear as emeralds, rubies and diamonds. The tutus are heavy and elaborate, and the sparkles can be seen from the farthest corner of the theatre. Likewise, there is little on stage more extreme than the
difference between Odette and Odile, the White Swan and Black Swan in Swan Lake. Continued on page 30 R0013201611_0402

Ballet: a feted feat of the feet Continued from page 29
Swan Lake. The tutu, by its very nature, appears ethereal, surreal even. In addition to highlighting the legwork of the ballerina, the tutu also allows the dancer to appear as if she is floating through the air on a glistening cloud. The tutu can range from the longer, flowing Degas-style to the classical pancake or Balanchine’s powder puff look. Until the early 1700s, dancers wore elegant, floor-length dresses. But in 1730, Marie Camargo raised the hem of her dress enough for audiences to see her feet and ankles, to demonstrate a bit of legwork. Over the decades, the ballerina’s dress continued upward until it became what we now know as the tutu. Former ballerina, Jennifer Homans, traced the history of ballet in her book Apollo’s Angels. Ballet arose in the Renaissance court cultures of Italy and France. In the days of Louis XIV, men performed the intricate footwork that we now associate with women in the ballerina role. The French Revolution in the late 18th century changed that. As the populace rebelled, the refined movements of men in dance became symbolic of the aristocracy. Homans ex-
plains that by the mid-1830s, it had become a disgrace for a man to dance on stage. As women took over the techniques requiring extreme leg extensions and high jumps, anything covering their legs hampered their technique. “Female dancers take the ideals that existed in the aristocratic art form and turned them into a feminine and spiritual ideal of which they are masters,” notes Homans. “Then you get this image of the ballerina on toe, in these more Romantic Era ballets of sylphs and unrequited love and the romantic themes that carried ballet into the 19th century.” According to Homans, the tutu has a storied past. “With a name probably derived from the French children’s word ‘tutu’—meaning ‘bottom’—the costume is a product of evolution that made its debut in 1832, an instant classic, so to speak, that’s been swathed in magic ever since.” By the 1940s, the ballet skirt had evolved to new levels of intricacy; some included wire hoops, nylon and rayon. The most famous tutu designer/ maker was probably Barbara Karinska (1886–1983), born in Russia, but who later made New York her home. She worked on more than 75 Bal-
anchine productions and originated the powder puff tutu, which is not as flat as the pancake tutus favored by Russian dancers. Of the costumes she created, 9000 are still housed in Lincoln Center’s wardrobe department below the home of New York City Ballet. To help tutus remain stiff when not worn, they are hung upside down. Some are hand-washed after each performance, while others are dry-cleaned after three or four performances. As for en pointe work, its history started as entertainment. Travelling troupes would thrill audiences by walking on their toes. Dancers displayed strength and skill by dancing on their toes. It made them appear taller and even more graceful. Marie Taglioni of the 19th century Romantic Ballet Era is credited as the first dancer known to dance in a ballet en pointe. She changed the face of ballet, turning en pointe work into a form of artistic expression requiring skill, strength and stamina. Each pointe shoe is painstakingly fitted to a dancer’s feet, so she can dance on her toes without injury. You cannot simply walk into a generic shoe shop and buy pointe shoes. Here in Kingston, a ballet master fit-

ADVERTORIAL
Academy of Learning College http:// www.academyoflearning.com/ has educational programs that perfectly combine real-world skills development with formalbased, blended education. The result is graduates with a high degree of job readiness. Being able to deliver graduates into the workforce who can enter their chosen discipline with the skills necessary to hit the ground running is quite the accomplishment. Academy of Learning College manages to achieve this ideal. It’s the perfect combination of theory and practical training, evolving education beyond the classroom for the everyday requirements of the work-a-day world. The college’s capacity to identify the changing dynamics of different industries and then respond effectively with education programs that prepare graduates for jobs within those industries is significant. It demonstrates real-world savvy with training that isn’t confined to an academic vacuum. Graduates are extremely well prepared. The college’s impressive standards go even further. Students at the college also have the one thing that’s crucial to success: Support. Just ask Jennifer Kehoe. Jennifer is a graduate of the Business Administration Diploma program, Kingston campus http://aolkingston.com/. Jennifer
ter travels from Ottawa a few times a year to provide the fitting for dancers serious about their art. Failure to be properly fitted can end an aspiring ballerina’s hopes for a career in professional dance. This needless tragedy happens far too often and is easily preventable with the competent knowledge of a skilled shoe fitter combined with a dance teacher knowing when the ballerina is ready to move to en pointe work. Melissa Mahady Wilton, the City of Kingston dance engagement coordinator and a teacher at the Kingston School of Dance, who regularly assesses dancers’ readiness, fears that many dancers are allowed to move to en pointe far too early, years before her body and skill level should. This is where the misconception about ballet injuries arises. When Mahady Wilton’s own students are assessed as ready for en pointe, she recognizes it as a great achievement, an acknowledgement of a dancer’s hard work preparing for the physical and technical demands of this advanced technique. Sometimes it takes several years for a dancer to reach this stage. Some never work en pointe.
