The fix is in: City increases subsidy offered for spay/neuter program By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – If at first you don’t succeed, try giving out more money. City council will increase the subsidy amount offered to qualifying low income pet owners to encourage them to have their cats and dogs spayed or neutered. The original municipal subsidy of $100 per pet will be upped to $250 due to an apparent lack of interest in the program. Coun. Lisa Osanic’s Sept. 23 motion noted that only 13 pet owners have taken advantage of the vouchers since the city launched its responsible pet ownership program a year ago. “Is that what we want our program to do – 13 pets for the entire year?” she wondered. Council set aside $25,000 this year to encourage qualifying pet owners to have their pets fixed. But only five percent of the funding, or $1,300, has been spent. Coun. Osanic says increasing the per pet subsidy to $250 may encourage more uptake in the program, especially since a trip to the veterinarian can be costly. The cost to have animals spayed or neutered can be up to $500. Coun. Osanic says it’s better to give fewer pet owners a larger subsidy than leave most of the budget untapped. “This motion is not asking for new money or more money,” she said, noting the $25,000 overall budget reThe Bayridge Blazers had a tough time on the gridiron against the Holy Cross Crusaders mains unchanged.

a staff report justifying the need. “This amount … is creating or altering subsidies on the fly,” argued Coun. Sandy Berg. Mayor Mark Gerretsen also spoke against increasing the $100 voucher until staff can determine the value of the program, and its impact. He says there could be other reasons why pet owners are not taking advantage of the vouchers - aside from not being able to afford the balance of the vet bills - such as a poor communications strategy from city hall letting residents know the program even exists. “I feel it’s a knee-jerk reaction and we don’t completely know the problem.” Councillors voted 10-3 to increase the voucher value to $250, but they also amended the motion for staff to review the effectiveness of the program and report on its status in 2016. Most agree the $25,000 investment is a good one because it will eventually lead to tax savings as fewer unwanted cats and dogs end up at the city-funded pound where daily boarding fees can be very expensive. Under a five year service contract with the Kingston Humane Society, which operates the pound, the city can expect to pay about $375,000 a year to care for stray or unwanted animals. The voucher program is one of several initiatives in the responsible pet ownership program to reduce unwanted litters and animal pound-related costs. The city is also actively trying to get people to licence their pets with tags – making it easier and cheaper to retrieve lost pets that end up in the pound.

Tett Centre facelift taking longer: Tenants won’t move in until December Kingston Heritage – As Queen’s University showcased its new $63 million Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts in September, the city-owned building next door is still waiting to open. The city is telling future tenants that they’ll have to wait a couple of more months before they can move into the renovated Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. A $13.2 million, three year facelift of the 19th century building into an arts cluster is running behind schedule. Originally set to open in September, the Tett won’t be completed until the end of the year. Commissioner Cynthia Beach says the city is working with the contractor and the future tenants to finalize the move in date. “The projected occupancy date is now December 4.” But the official opening won’t take place until January 2015, giving tenants some time to settle in to their new digs. City officials say the complexities

of renovating and expanding the waterfront heritage building, coupled with a wet summer, are behind the delays. “The decision was made in order to finish the building the way it needed to be finished with all the proper fit-outs that we would delay the opening,” said Colin Wiginton, the city’s cultural director. The roof is 95 percent complete while 75 percent of the interior painting, plumbing, electrical and fan systems are done. Outside curbs, sidewalks and paving won’t be finished until late October, according to September 23 update provided by staff. But they say the restoration budget remains on track. Eight arts and cultural groups will soon take up residency in the Tett building, which they had to leave when the construction work began about three years ago. The list of tenants that will occupy the revamped building includes the Kingston Arts Council, Kingston Potters’ Guild, Lapidary and Mineral Club, Handloom Weavers and Spinners, Joe’s music instrument lending library and the Kingston School of

Dance. Many of those organizations have had to relocate several times around the city during the construction period, but say the hassle is worth the wait. “It’s like a dream come true but it’s been a long, long time in the making,” said Ebon Gage, artistic director of the dance school, which operated out of rented space on Princess Street before moving into a temporary home at a former arena on Church Street. Gage says he’s looking forward to moving back to the Tett, noting the older version of the building had steel beams protruding from the low ceiling that made it difficult and dangerous for dancers to practice their moves. In addition to more elbow room, the Tett was also expanded with a 100-foot replica of the original malting tower attached to the southern portion of the building’s roof. The third floor steeland-glass ‘tower’ meeting room, overlooking Lake Ontario, can be used to showcase the work of artisans or rented out for civic or catered private functions. It’s estimated the 150-person room will bring in $17,000 in its first year, with rental income of $30,000 by

its fifth year. The limestone Tett Centre was constructed around 1844 as the Morton brewery and distillery. It was transformed into a military hospital during the First World War and became owned by the city in the 1970s. The building fell into disrepair while it was being

used by local artisans until the city launched plans to undertake extensive renovations. Site preparation work began in September 2011 and construction work started in 2012, about the same time as work started on the Queen’s performing arts centre within the same complex.

Major mental health conference comes to Kingston By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Kingston Heritage News - It seems safe to say that Kingston is something of a leader in our region when it comes to caring for those living with severe and persistent mental illness. Between Providence Care and Frontenac Community Mental Health and Addiction Services, our city contains five 90-member assertive community treatment (ACT) teams, which provide services to clients that allow them to remain in their own homes instead of having to live in hospital. Comparatively, for example, the city of Ottawa has only four of these teams and the Greater Toronto Area around 10. So it comes as no surprise that Dave Guthrie, manager of the Community Integration Program, ACT/ IMC at Providence Care Mental Health Services, was asked to organize the Ontario ACT Association’s biannual conference, which for the first time is being combined with the Journal of Ethics and Mental Health’s own biannual conference. On Oct. 22, 23 and 24, thousands of mental health professionals from across Canada and the U.S., along with community members who have an interest in these subjects, will

gather at the Ambassador to learn from experts such as Dr. Irving Kirsh from Harvard Medical School, and Dt. Paul Brodwin from the University of Wisconsin-Mikwaukee. “It’s a great opportunity for us,” Guthrie says. “All these people are coming to Kingston to learn about essential mental health ethics.” He explains that ethics are indeed a central concern for ACT teams, and it only makes sense to combine the two organizations’ conferences. “[ACT teams] go to clients’ houses, we knock on their door, we stand there with pills in our hands and we don’t leave until they take them. We work under the perimeters of the Mental Health Act and human rights.” For example, ethical issues could arise if a client has concerns about their medication and refuses to take it. “In some cases clients have legitimate and serious concerns about the side effects of their medications. Sometimes they’re comfortable talking about it, sometimes they’re not. So we need to be able to get them to open up about why they don’t want to take their medication. In other cases they just flatly refuse and it’s a lose-lose situation. All we can do is monitor them.” Guthrie says that while in the past

the ACT conference has been targeted mainly at those who work in the mental health field, the ethics element that has been added will mean it will be of interest to anyone whose life has been touched by mental illness, or who simply has an interest in mental health and ethics. “I want the conference to be full,” he says. “We have a really good agenda, plus we have evening entertainment which is a little bit unique.” In addition to 40 presenters who will speak on a wide range of ethics in mental health related topics, on the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 22, singer/songwriter and mental health awareness advocate Steven Page, famous for being the former frontman of the Barenaked Ladies, will Dave Guthrie (Left) and Jason Halliday, managers of the Mental Health speak to the crowd about reducing Services team at Providence Care.

City revises on-street parking permit plan for commuters around Queen’s & KGH By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – The days of free parking on residential streets around Kingston General Hospital and Queen’s University are numbered. The city is pushing ahead with its two-fold program to place restrictions on all-day street parking that currently have no regulations, and to sell a limited number of monthly permits that will exempt daily parkers from the rules.

Sydenham district councillor Bill Glover applauds the changes, which received unanimous support from the environment, infrastructure and transportation committee, and says the free ride is over for daily commuters. “What commuters are going to have to do is stop taking for free something which has a value.” He says on-street parking is a commodity that has a value, and the city is right to start charging for it. The program, initially set to roll out this fall, recently ran into a roadblock when neighbourhood residents complained about the potential sale of hundreds of monthly commuter permits on their quiet streets. They warned the policy would create an oversupply of parking, leading to more congested streets and safety concerns. After further public consultation this summer, city transportation officials have revised and delayed their plans for Area B - roughly bounded by Princess Street to the north, MacDonnell and Beverly Streets to the west, University, Barrie and West Streets to the east, and King Street to the south. “The proposed plan recommends the program implementation be deferred until May 2015 to coincide with the implementation of two

new transit express routes that will be implemented at that time,” said a new report by transportation director Sheila Kidd. But the biggest change to the revised plan will be a sharp decline in the number of commuter permits that will be available from City Hall – just 107 permits will be sold among the 1,071 available spaces on residential streets that are within a 15-20 minute walk to the hospital and university. This is in stark contrast to the more than 500 monthly permits that staff had initially wanted to issue prior to last June’s neighbourhood backlash. City officials conducted a thorough assessment of the neighbourhoods. Of the 1,071 spaces counted, they say 660 are currently free unregulated spaces with no daytime restrictions. Staff estimate that 80 percent (530 vehicles) of these unregulated spaces are occupied in the day and 477 vehicles are commuters, not residents or visitors. All on-street spaces that are not exempted by permits will be strictly regulated with time-of-use bylaws that will prohibit parking (possibly between 9-10 am and 1-2 pm) to discourage all-day parking. Kidd’s revised report, which still needs council’s final approval, acknowledges the drive to fewer

permits is based on neighbourhood concerns about congestion and safety, while “significantly reducing and controlling the number of commuter vehicles that will be allowed to park on residential streets in the area.” The policy may appease residents, but likely not employees of the hospital and university who currently park their vehicles for free on the unregulated streets around the campus. Many commuters will soon have to pay monthly fees ranging from $78.50 to $117.75 for the limited number of permits. The windshield display passes are expected to go on sale next April or May once the street signage is installed. Residents of those streets will get a better deal; temporary permits can be purchased for $12 a week or $30 month. Meanwhile, the city has other plans for those commuters who don’t get in line fast enough to buy the select few municipal permits. Officials say motorists should either park in off-street lots operated by Queen’s University or shift to other forms of transportation such as public transit or car pooling. Kidd’s report estimates Queen’s still has about 250 monthly spaces available to rent at its main and west

campus lots. In addition, the city is counting on a “more aggressive” shift to alternate transportation that relies on 25 percent of Queen’s/ KGH commuters walking or taking the bus, instead of the five percent modal shift originally envisioned. Reliance on those factors will mean that only 107 on-street permits will be sold. Coun. Glover dismisses concerns about creating financial hardships for commuters, noting they will have alternatives. “It is change and people have difficulty adjusting to change. But guess what? Change happens.” If Queen’s or KGH – area employers identified as major contributors to the street congestion – do not feel the street permits are enough then they will have to produce their own studies to persuade council to increase the number of permits, staff recommend. The on-street commuter parking permit program was launched last year in Area A; 30 blocks around Hotel Dieu Hospital and Sydenham district. The city plans to expand the sale of commuter permits to streets in three other neighbourhood zones, Areas C, D and E around McBurney Park/ Providence Manor, St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital and St. Lawrence College in the next few years.

Each device costs about $4,000, and many are already installed in libraries, arenas, theatres and other public venues. Hunter says the odds of surviving a cardiac arrest increase dramatically with the use of CPR and the defib devices. “If you have an out of hospital cardiac event you have a five percent chance of survival if there’s nobody around, no CPR and no defibrillator. However, those odds increase to 70 percent if there’s CPR and defibrillator.” The council chamber erupted in a thunderous ovation as the mayor presented the trio with their certificates. A large delegation of Brown’s family and friends joined in the celebration. Brown, who also attended the city hall ceremony and posed for pictures with the award recipients, couldn’t find enough praise for the people and the machine that saved his life. “If it wasn’t for all them people I wouldn’t even be here, especially the crew on the boat and the fast moving efforts of my granddaughter, my son in law and my own son,” he told reporters. A grateful Brown also praised the paramedics and emergency room staff for “bringing me back.”

Kingston Heritage – A routine ride on the Wolfe Island ferry turned into a neardeath experience for one man, and special recognition for three people who helped to save his life. Gus Brown, who’s 79, suffered a heart attack while sitting in his car on the ferry as it headed for the island last March 29. He was returning home after visiting his wife in the hospital. “I was sitting behind the steering wheel and I just folded up,” recalled Brown, a lifelong island resident. Fortunately, some of Brown’s family members were in the car with him, and they knew what to do. Brown’s granddaughter, Kaitlyn Woodman, who happens to be a hospital nurse, immediately started performing CPR. “I jumped in the front did my assessment and realized he wasn’t breathing and started CPR.” At that point, ferry worker Tony Hamilton had grabbed the ferry’s on-board portable defibrillator. They shocked him once, and continued CPR, then administered a second shock to restart his heart. “It’s not that complicated. You just peel off the pads and place them on the patient and give the shock,” explained Hamilton of the procedure. Duncan Pyke also assisted in restoring Brown’s pulse and breathing.

Taking the gratitude challenge in relation to my own life. I have so much to be thankful for it can sometimes be overwhelming. I have a caring husband and a daughter whom I love more than anything. I have two parents who care about me and are always supportive of my choices, even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely agree with them. I have a job that I love and that challenges me in all the right ways. For the first time since I was a teenager, I finally feel like I have some honest to god friends in my life. At long last, Steve and I are about to be homeowners. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building a small but nice house and get to choose everything from the flooring to the doorknobs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all very fun and exciting. Currently, everyone I love is in relatively good health. Every day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surrounded by people who bring me great joy. They inspire me to work harder and push myself out of my comfort zone, to be more creative and daring. So why do I feel so lonely all the time? Why do I waste so much energy wondering why someone doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like me? Why do I feel worthless when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m rejected by one or two people, even though I know Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike very well there are others in my lifeMount who mmount@perfprint.ca genuinely care about me?

I envy people with large circles of friends in the way others envy those who have expensive material possessions. I crave the safety of companionship like a drug, even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incompatible with my quiet personality. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a million times more confident when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my professional skills people are judging as opposed to my value as a friend, so while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m great at conversation on a work level, I tend to freeze up in social situations. But all that is, or at least should be, beside the point. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a first world problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invented because I have no â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? problems. Yes, my brain defaults to the negative, but this is not depression. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there, done that. I know what it feels like. This is just that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m human, therefore I need to have something to worry about, something to want. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comforting to know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not alone in this. I see it in others as they pin their memes and take on their gratitude challenges. Like most worthwhile things in life, gratitude appears to be something most of us have to work at to achieve.

In Our Opinion

Campaign signs: wasteful or useful?

Heritage Editorial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Driving around the city these past few weeks we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice the sudden appearance of campaign signs on every corner. There seems to be more and more each day and that left us thinking, what happens to these signs when the election is over? Do they simply get thrown out and if that is the case, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there a better way? There is no question that is it important for candidates to get their name out there and make an impression on voters, but perhaps it is time to embrace alternative methods. Many of these campaign signs are made of cheap plastic, the kind that is so low-grade that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually be recycled. This probably makes sense from a cost perspective, but in terms of waste that means that those signs will inevitably end up in a landfill. Larger campaign signs are usually made of cardboard with wood posts, but again the plasticized treatment of the sign to make it waterproof may also make the sign non-recyclable, so they really arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much better. While election signs are seen as necessary for campaigns at every level, perhaps it is time to start looking at alternative ways to get your name out there. During this municipal campaign multiple candidates across the province have announced that they will no longer use the wasteful signs, and will instead opt to spend that money on larger billboards or bus shelter posters. These choices seem like a nice compromise and certainly generate less waste, but many wonder if they will be effective. The act of driving down a street and seeing 10 homes with the same name on the lawn certainly has an impact, but then again so does a huge billboard on a main road. Perhaps candidates should be thinking more about digital advertising and using emails and social media to get their names out there. Those methods certainly generate less waste. Only time will tell which methods work the best, but for now, if you do happen to get a lawn sign for your home perhaps you can find a creative way to reuse it in the future. Maybe use the plastic for a new project or use the wooden posts in a garden, or find another way to support your chosens !DVERTISING RATES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE ACCORDING TO candidate like volunteering with their CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: campaignâ&#x20AC;Ś or maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run again in thethefuture you can reusepublished. it then. rate card and in effect at time advertising Sharon Russell - 613-688-1483

Veteran councillor highlights her experience and dedication in mayoral campaign hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Kingston Heritage News - When Dorothy Hector heard that incumbent mayor Mark Gerretsen wouldn’t be seeking re-election this fall, she saw a golden opportunity to bring her vision forward to the people of Kingston by running for mayor. “I’ve always felt that I had the leadership and the experience to be the mayor of Kingston and the opportunity arose so that’s why I’m taking advantage of that opportunity,” says Hector, a two-term veteran councillor for Lakeside District. What drives her, she explains, is her love for the Limestone City. “You don’t get into this without having a real passion for the city. I’ve been a Kingstonian since I was a small child, and this city has the potential to be such a wonderful, vibrant, bustling city, celebrating its rural character as well as its downtown urban character. I want to be part of making it the best it can be.” When Hector ﬁrst became a councillor eight years ago, she was part of a group of people who envisioned Kingston as being Canada’s most sustainable city. From that vision, the nonproﬁt organization Sustainable Kingston was born. “That visioning exercise enabled the community to come together,” Hector says. “What I want to see us do is to continue that networking, that partnering, that working together as groups and organizations in our city. I want to be part of continuing to be the catalyst to keep people talking and moving towards building a better future for us in every aspect of the community.”

As far as achieving this vision, Hector sees building the third crossing, expanding the airport runway and setting the stage for opportunities and business by using the assets we already have in our community as key to being successful. She would like to make the most of Kingston’s prime geographic location between Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Syracuse. “We need to take advantage of programs and opportunities that are out there already for the municipality and join in with programs to showcase what we do. Those are the things that I want us to move towards.” She would also like to do more to make the most of Kingston’s culturally diverse population. “There are people that are here from all over the world. We need to be tapping into that diversity so that they’re reaching back to their home countries and saying hey, you can do business in Kingston.” The major thing Hector says would define her 2:41 as aAMmayor would be her commitment thethem job.

Every mayor is special and brings a different personality to the job. I want to bring a dedication and leadership to the position with my experience.” Hector says that one of the main things she has been hearing from constituents on the campaign trail

is that they want a mayor who gets things done; she believes she is the person who can do this, indicating the consistent downward trend in tax increases since she came onto council in 2006. “That’s what I want to continue. I want to put the lid on taxes, but I want to do it responsibly.” Hector says her record clearly shows she is the most qualified candidate for the job. “I would challenge any of my opponents in the election to demonstrate what they have done, not just what they’ve talked about wanting to achieve. Show us what you’ve actually done for the city and what work you have put forward for the betterment of the taxpayers in Kingston.

Asthma action program hopes to educate parents, teachers and students By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage news – In 2012, Ryan Gibbons went to school in London, Ontario and never came home. He was asthmatic and while he was at school he had an attack and died. This incident was not the ﬁrst of its kind, but it affected many people across the province and left many parents, teachers, students and healthcare providers with numerous unanswered questions. Across the country more than 1.7 million children are suffering from lung disease and most commonly asthma. They struggle to breath on a daily basis and in most cases, when they go to school they are surrounded by people who know very little about asthma. Nicola Thomas, a professor of health science at St. Lawrence College, worked as a pediatric asthma educator at KGH and Hotel Dieu for a number of years and quickly learned that this lack of knowledge is a huge problem for kids, parents and teachers. “I had parents telling me that puffers were being locked away and there

were numerous environmental issues in schools and I really wanted to help and learn more,” explains Thomas. “As I looked into the issue more and more I realized that there were signiﬁcant gaps and teachers just had no idea how to treat asthma.” The Lung Association is hoping to remedy this problem. They have launched a campaign called the Asthma Action Program and on Sept. 24, they held a conference in Kingston, the ﬁrst of its kind, to start educating teachers, caregivers, and parents about asthma. According to Thomas, one way to make asthma more manageable is to create asthma friendly schools, but what is an asthma friendly school? “An asthma friendly school is one where kids can keep their puffer on them and use it when needed. The school will also have [fewer] environmental triggers. Teachers, students and parents at the school will receive training and education on asthma and there will be comprehensive policies on asthma in the schools.” All of this sounds basic, and in the early 2000s there was a pilot project introduced to make schools in Ontario

asthma friendly. The program worked quite well and even transitioned into a full program that was set to expand across the province. Sadly, however, funding for the program was stopped in the fall of 2013. Thomas wants to see the program started again and so do many others including President and CEO of the Ontario Lung Association George Habib, who attended the conference in Kingston and MPP for Kingston and the Islands Sophie Kiwala, who has dealt with lung disease in her own family. “My older brother has suffered from asthma for years,” explained Kiwala. “I’ve seen his challenges and struggles and I’ve felt the powerlessness of watching someone struggle to take a breath. This is an important issue and one that I hope will make a difference in the lives of so many in the years to come.” The issue has been summarized in Bill 135, otherwise known as Ryan’s Law. The bill calls for more education on asthma for teachers across the province. Thomas hopes that the conference in Kingston encourages more Nicola Thomas, Professor of Health Science at St. Lawrence College, people to take notice and ask how they spoke to a room of teachers, caregivers and interested community can help. members about the importance of asthma education on Sept. 24. Photo/Mandy Marciniak. “We developed a committee in the area and we put out of that,” added Thomas. “I am very future.” For more information about The in a proposal for excited that this is happening and that more training and we can educate those in our area and Lung Association and the Asthma Acthis evening came hopefully prevent another death in the tion Program visit www.on.lung.ca

Dowling Metal and Fabrication: the local company behind the eye-catching exterior of The Isabel By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Continued on page 14 R0012918997

Heritage News - The unveiling of the new Isabel Bader Centre at Queen’s has been making headlines across the city for the past few weeks, but many people don’t realize that the company behind the beautiful stainless steel exterior is actually local. Kevin Dowling grew up on Howe Island and became a sheet metal worker in the late ‘70s. He quickly took on more and more projects and then started Dowling Metal in 1995 with an aspiration to take on new and interesting projects that were challenging. “We’ve evolved into doing more interesting projects like this one,” said Dowling who originally heard about The Isabel project in April of 2011. “We had some contacts at Queen’s and they asked us to make some mock up panels to see if this was what they

really wanted to go with. We made a few panels and they stuck them on the wall at the work site and we went from there.” After a few more prototypes and tweaks the architects settled on a particular stainless steel and Dowling moved forward with the large project. The finished centre features 20,000 square feet of interior and exterior stainless steel wall cladding, designed and manufactured in Kingston. “Stuff like this usually comes from somewhere else, but there are companies here that can do it and we were happy to be that company,” added Dowling. “The building is so unique in terms of its architecture and we were happy to be a part of something so special and dynamic.” Dowling also did a lot of detail work throughout the building including railings,

stair linings, signage for doors and an exterior Queen’s crest. The project was certainly challenging, but Dowling saw those challenges as just another day at work. “Architects come up with ideas and it is up to us to execute those ideas. There is a lot of expertise involved in work like this and a lot of problem solving too,” said Dowling. “We have to do whatever we can to make the vision come to life.” Dowling Metal didn’t actually install the panels, but they did construct all of the elements that help mount the panels. The process was quite involved, but Dowling is extremely happy with the end result. “It is extremely gratifying and I think the building really speaks for

itself.” The finished project is certainly a vision and those who visit the facility will immediately notice Dowling’s work. He hopes that community members and visitors will admire the building, but also think about the local connection and the importance of supporting local businesses. “We really want to promote the idea of having projects like this done by local companies. There are materials coming into Kingston daily and groups like us that can do big jobs like this and we’d love to see more of that. People really need to seek out local suppliers more for projects like this and give us a chance.” For more information on Dowling Metal and Fabrication visit www. dowlingmetal.com

New Youth Diversion program aims to make adolescent years better for parents and teens By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Being a teenager is hard, but sometimes parenting a teenager can be even harder. This fall, Youth Diversion hopes to make adolescence easier for teens and parents with the introduction of the Strengthening Families for Parents and Youth Program (SFPY). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program was brought to us by a group in Toronto called Parent Action on Drugs (PAD) and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing the program there for a number of years,â&#x20AC;? explained Youth Diversion executive director Daren Dougall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PAD approached us and they asked us if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to pilot this program out here and we were happy to accept.â&#x20AC;? The SFPY program is geared towards youth ages 12-16 and their parents. It is a nine-week program that focuses on teaching valuable skills to both kids and parents in order to help them communicate better and co-exist more peacefully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you are having issues with your teen it is best to work together,â&#x20AC;? added Dougall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our agency works really well with the 1,300 kids that we serve each year, but not so well with parents. We communicate with parents

but we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really helping them to help their kids and this program allows us to fix that.â&#x20AC;? Each week, teens will arrive at Youth Diversion with their parents or guardians. The first activity they will partake in is dinner. They will sit and eat with other families and hopefully engage in conversation. Then the kids and parents will separate for facilitated sessions before joining together for a group session. Sessions will look at things like giving clear expectations, positive attention, teaching about normal adolescent development, learning how to communicate and understanding needs, how to set limits, handling stress and anger, substance use and how to solve problems as a family unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The results in other cities have been great,â&#x20AC;? added Dougall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to see the same results here. We all have challenges as parents, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met a perfect parent yet, and if we can provide some skills and some ideas and suggestions for parents and kids to work together then that is fantastic.â&#x20AC;? The program is really a research project to see if something like this can work in the Kingston area and Dougall is confident that it can. He also hopes that the program can be

implemented in rural areas in the spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to run a program in Verona or Sharbot Lake in the early spring of next year and that will give us time to run this and see what works and what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and implement that out there.â&#x20AC;? Overall, Dougall hopes that the program will make life easier for

both parents and teens. He adds that everyone struggles through those years and most times parents just want to know that their family and their kids are normal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of the time they are normal and the fact that they are asking that question shows that they could benefit from a program like this,â&#x20AC;? said Dougall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents

Literary “lion” Wally Lamb stops in Kingston for WritersFest By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Kingston Heritage News - From school shootings to mental illness, author Wally Lamb has tackled some pretty heavy themes in his novels over the years - so the warm, funny man who took to the Grand Theatre stage on Sept. 24 came as something of a pleasant surprise to the audience members at the Kingston WritersFest International Marquee event. “I sound like I’m just blowing smoke here, but it’s true that I’ve always really enjoyed my Canadian audiences,” Lamb said later in an interview with the Kingston Heritage. “They’re just livelier. I think they have a little more respect for writers and writing than some of my American audiences - I just have fun with them.” At WritersFest, Lamb gave a reading from his latest book, We Are Water, which centres around a flood inspired by a real event that happened in his home state of Connecticut in the 1960s. He noted that his work continues to be guided by the words of his writing teacher, Gladys Swan, who advised him that it’s impossible to tell an entirely new story, and to look to classical literature for plot inspiration and

build from there. “I’m not always going to necessarily methodically attach whatever I’m working on to one of the ancient stories, but they do guide me,” he said. “They’re quietly in the background and I can access them when I need to. For this most recent novel, I think of all the floods in the biblical sense, or of the old myths - Poseidon King of the Sea. Some of these stories need to be told over and over again.” In recent years, Lamb has been conducting writing workshops for women at the York Correctional Institution in Connecticut - women whom he said have also been great teachers to him. “They taught me that crime and punishment is a very complex equation. I think people who don’t have the experience that I’ve had, working with them for this number of years, tend to think a little bit more simplistically. We’re the good guys because we’re not in prison and they’re the bad guys because they are. It’s a lot more complicated than that.” These women and their stories helped to shape the complicated theme of sexual abuse in We Are Water; Lamb explained that a shockingly high percentage of women in prison have a history of

16 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, October 2, 2014

sexual abuse, something that comes out frequently in their writing. “My knowledge about that kind of thing came slowly and through many, many pieces of writing by many women. I began to see the commonality in their experiences and what a terrible misuse of power that is when you take an innocent child who doesn’t quite know what’s going on and you take advantage of that confusion for your own selfish needs.” The most challenging aspect for Lamb arose when he realized he needed to also tell the story from the point of view of the perpetrator. “He’s a character that I would have to go to the shower and wash off every day when I was through with my writing. Because I become the characters in a way when I write, I had to become this pedophile and it was not very comfortable, and I knew that I was asking a lot of readers to go there with me. But I think I came out not condoning it, but understanding his humanity as well.” In addition to his five novels, Lamb has published a non-fiction book called Couldn’t Keep it To Myself: Testimonies from Our Imprisoned Sisters, a collection of autobiographies by inmates at the

York Correctional Institution. season on the Lifetime Channel. He has also had the unique expeWe Are Water and all of Lamb’s rience of seeing his famous, Oprah- books are available in bookstores blessed novel She’s Come Undone everywhere. adapted for the stage by a Seattle theatre company. “My wife and I flew out for the premiere,” he said. “It was freaky because I wrote this book 20 something years ago. I had forgotten a lot of the story because I never go back and re-read my stuff, but to see something that had just been in my head interpreted on the stage with actors and so forth was a lot of fun.” Another novel, Wishin’ and Hopin’, was recently made into a film starring actress Molly Ringwald and rocker Meat Loaf; in this case, Lamb was more involved in the adaptation and served as executive producer. He says it was an amazing feeling watching young Felix Funicello, whom he calls his most autobiographical character, come to life. “When you see a film being made, it’s piecemeal and out of sequence, a lot of times they do the second to last scene first and so it’s more of a patchwork quilt. But it was fun. I loved hanging out with the kids, entertaining them.” Author Wally Lamb. Wishin’ and Hopin’ will premiere Photo/Hollie Pratt-Campbell in November and air this holiday

Local basketball player signs first professional contract By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Sports – Owen Klassen started playing basketball in Grade 7; he always dreamed of playing in the NBA and now he is one step closer to that dream. Klassen recently signed a one-year deal with MZT Skopje Aerodrom in the powerhouse Adriatic Basketball League and the Kingston native couldn’t be happier to take this exciting next step in his career. “This opportunity is really good for exposure and is really good for moving myself up in the coming years,” said Klassen. “The Adriatic League, is one on the top leagues in Europe, so if I play well in this league it will hopefully lead into

other opportunities.” Klassen played basketball throughout high school at Bayridge and was then recruited by a number of Canadian and American universities on basketball scholarships. He ultimately decided to go to Acadia and played there for the past five years while studying kinesiology. Klassen wasn’t sure what the future would hold in terms of a career, but when he started receiving calls from agents in his third year at Acadia he realized that maybe basketball could be a career. “I also played on the Canadian Development National Team in 2011 at the Pan American Games and that made me think more and more about a career in basketball,” added Klassen.

The 23-year-old power forward also played on the Senior Men’s Development team this past summer. He toured Europe with the team and got a glimpse of what he can expect in the year to come. Klassen knows that the year will be difficult but looks forward to the challenge of playing at a higher level. “I just want to play at the highest level that I am capable of,” said Klassen. “The biggest challenge will be the culture and language and moving somewhere where I don’t know anybody. Being away from my family and my friends and my girlfriend will be hard. I’ve been away before but not this far and for this long.” Teammates and staff will certainly make the transition a bit easier

Raw talent explodes onto the theatre scene “I just saw a Broadway-quality performance on a high school stage.” That was a text I sent to a friend and director after I’d watched Kathryn Johnston in dress rehearsal for Guys and Dolls last year. I could think of no other way to describe the performance of this young actor. Some actors blossom over time, becoming highly skilled with years of

practice. Some never get beyond an amateur theatre level. Kathryn Johnston has performed on stage for several years, but it was her portrayal of Sarah Brown in Guys and Dolls that proved to be not so much a blossoming as an explosion. Without a doubt, this was her breakout role. Fortunate theatre goers got to see the show at Regiopolis Notre-Dame (Regi) last December. If there was a Tony Award for best female in a leading role in high school productions, the 2013 award would have been a toss-up between Lauren Knight’s portrayal of Miss Adelaide and Kathryn Johnston as Sarah Brown. Kathryn has quietly been paying her dues, working on the building blocks of her acting skills. She’s been involved Place Place youyour ad in ad in EMC the Classifieds Classifieds

in music and theatre since Grade 5. Her love for music goes as far back as she can remember, right to the days of being a little kid. “I was pretty hyper and always sang,” she says. “If Dad played music, I would learn it and sing it. I often imitated how other people sang a song.” Now, the Grade 11 student has some serious roles on her resume. Despite her self-appraisal as hyper, it’s a quiet, not boisterous or arrogant, hive of activity in her heart and soul. She comes across in person as unassuming and down to earth. One of the scenes in which Kathryn performs in Guys and Dolls as straightlaced, Save-A-Soul missionary Sarah Brown takes place in Havana, with the innocently righteous woman partaking of alcohol for the first time. Partaking to excess. Johnston, off-stage, is not a party animal. Academically, she’s a high achiever. In the extracurricular realm, she’s heavily involved in the arts. How did she pull off a slam-dunk performance as a neophyte drunk? “I hadn’t been to any parties or anything, I was basically doing what I do myself when I’m overtired and hyper,” says Kathryn. “I researched a lot about how people act when they’re drunk: the slurring words, not thinking about what they’re saying, not having a lot of control over what their body is doing. I put those together and came up with what Sarah Brown would be like when she was drunk.” These days, she’s in rehearsal for two productions. In the Heritage August 21 edition, Hollie Pratt-Campbell wrote about the search for an actor to

Raw talent explodes onto the theatre scene Theatre. Kathryn’s also been cast as Mabel, the female lead in Regi’s Pirates of Penzance, which will run from December 10–13. In addition to her theatre work, Kathryn trains in dance and vocals. She performs with Cantabile Choirs under the direction of Dr. Mark Sirett. Her vocal coach is Julie Mylks. She has what can only be described as a phenomenal voice. She also trains in adult ballet at Kingston School of Dance. She plays piano and trumpet. Kathryn has her Grade 6 vocals and is working toward Grade 8 now. “A lot of the pieces are an introduction to opera,” she says. “I like the operatic style.” When she needs a relaxing break from all of her creative input and output, she likes to do yoga. Her interest in theatre isn’t new. She first became involved on stage in her elementary school productions in Grade 5 and Grade 8. “That was when I realized I really love theatre,” she says. “In the summer after Grade 9, I started auditioning for community theatre roles and was in the ensemble for Blue Canoe’s Anne and Gilbert. I try to get involved in as much community theatre

as I can.” Several trips to New York City have shown her the best and she now strives to work at that level. “It’s such a vibrant scene. At every Broadway show I’ve seen, I’ve just been blown away by how perfect they are. The attention to detail is incredible.” During her high school years she’s had roles in Regi’s Anything Goes, Bottletree Productions’ Les Misérables, the Sears Festival and this past summer in Blue Canoe’s The Producers. Regi’s production of Guys and Dolls blasted her to a notch several levels above the norm. “It was my biggest role,” she says. “It was my first lead. It was a really good learning experience. I learned a lot about how to develop with my character and with my cast mates. I met lots of great people. I like to look into how people act and why they do the things they do. I try to understand people better and that was how I developed the character of Sarah Brown.” She also has an appreciation for dramatic roles. “Plays can be more intimate between the cast and audiences,” she says. “I like doing plays and I find them more challenging. All you have are the words, no music to back up the story. It’s nice to be challenged like that. Plays often have deeper

meanings.” After another year of high school, Kathryn hopes to continue in musical theatre. She says she’s not yet sure where she’s headed for her post-secondary education. “I’m researching different programs to see what would give me the best chance at musical theatre,” she says. “Wherever it takes me, I hope to be doing theatre in Stratford or Toronto or at the Shaw Festival. I hope to make a living doing what I love to do.” There are several dream roles she’d like to play in the future. She’ll soon check one off her list: Mabel in Pirates of Penzance. “I’m really excited to play her. I saw the show in Stratford a few years ago. And I’d love to play Sarah Brown again. I’d love to be in Wicked or any show that Kristen Chenoweth has done.” Whatever role she plays, there’s no doubt about her stage presence. “Whenever I’m in a show, it just feels right,” she says. “That’s where I’m supposed to be and I’m doing what I’m supposed to do. I love all aspects of theatre. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever done. To make people laugh or cry, it’s such a good feeling to give them that expression of emotion.” With her eyes set on bigger stages and brighter lights, this actor has the tools to get there.

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, October 2, 2014 21

Change in season brought a grateful relief for Father Lifestyle - The old maple tree in the front yard had turned crimson, and all around the farm, that year, I could tell that soon we would be settling in for the cold days of Fall, and then Winter would be upon us. The seasonís change had come as a great relief to me, although I still waited for signs from Father that all was well. You see, it was the height of the Depression, and every day I knew was a challenge for him... a challenge to survive yet another year, and then a comfort to know that the summer had yielded good crops and the winter ahead would be one of contentment. That didnít mean of course, that

there wouldnít be work to be done. The long winter months would be filled with chores, but there wouldnít be days of worry about a drought that could wipe out the fields of grain, or endless rain equally as damaging. Winter would be a time of catching up on fixing brokendown stalls in the cow byre, hauling in wood from the bush, and fixing harnesses, and mending aging machinery. But by the time the end of summer was upon us, I could see a change in Father. Although he talked little about it, I knew just by looking at him, that his mind for months had been on survival. The summer months could make or break us, and I was old enough to sense in Father an uneasiness at the end of each day. His days, during those summer months began before daybreak, as he strived to make use of every waking hour while the weather held. At night, as the darkness de-

scended on us, I would watch Father go to the back door and look out at the sky, looking for any sign that the weather would change and we would be faced with torrential rain. Or he would look for clouds if we were going through a dry spell that threatened to rob us of the grain that would see us through another winter. It seemed to me back then, that once the trees had turned, Father looked different, and he acted differently than he did on the days that had gone before us. He still went to the barns every night to check on the animals in the barns, but he no longer looked anxiously out at the night sky, trying to read what the next day would bring. I thought, back then, by the time the Fall weather was ready to settle in, that his face didnít wear the weariness I saw nightly during the summer. He ate his supper more slowly, and I was quick to notice every page of the

B.J. Sherman – Walking the Camino

As a teen I had the opportunity to participate in a private painting class for 2 years. I was educated as a registered nurse, giving me the financial resources to afford art supplies. Another opportunity presented itself, when I was accepted into adult

day classes in painting and drawing at Beal Art in London, Ontario starting the fall of 1979 for 2 ½ years. In 1982 I continued working part-time nursing and shared a studio space downtown with other artists in London, Ontario. I had partici-

pated in many juried art shows, being awarded the May Court of Windsor Prize for an outstanding piece in the exhibition at Southwest 42, Art Gallery of Windsor, 1982 and an award of recognition for the Historic Art Contest at Lawson Museum, London, Ontario, 1984. I have participated in a 2 person art show at the Woman Spirit Gallery in 1981, London, Ontario and a 1 person show at the same gallery in 1982. I participated in another 1 person show at the Ingersoll Creative Art Center in 1983. During 1987 our older son was born; raising a family and working part-time left me with only small amounts of time to paint, enabling me to keep my identity as an artist alive in myself. I had been painting

people in candid poses caught on my camera and exploring non-symmetrical pattern and textures with paint. In 1994 we bought a cottage on Buck Lake, moved there full-time in 2000 and built a permanent home in 2001. Being on the lake brought

B.J. Sherman me back to my youthful love of painting nature with the added element of incorporating my interest with pattern and textures. In 2004 I heard about the Camino de Santiago de Compos-

tela. The more I learned about this ancient pilgrimage the stronger I felt the pull to experience walking it myself. I began to train for this 760 KM (500 mile) walk and make travel plans. Several months before my Camino began I received word of questionable results of a recent mammogram, the follow up testing was 6 weeks down the road and we were flying to Florida the next day for 2 months. I rebooked the testing for when we arrived back home. While in Florida I continued walking 10km, 3 times a week to stay fit for walking the Camino, not knowing what journey I would be doing; walking the Camino or the journey of breast cancer. The testing showed no cancer and on May 15th 2006 I was off. Through the 45 days of walking I constantly painted in my head, returning

home with 30 rolls of film taken with my trusty granny camera. I had found out about plans to open up a Gilda’s Club in this area before I left. Finding the visuals of this experience inspiring and being filled with gratitude for the opportunity,

I made a promise to myself to paint a painting for every day I walked and donate the results to Gilda’s Club for their use. This project took me 4 ½ years, it’s my best work to date, showing tremendous development in my painting technique.

full of meat, and barrels of salt pork and sauerkraut at the ready; we had survived another year. And when I sat at the old pine table, as darkness came to the kitchen, I would look over at Father in the rocking chair, and I would say my silent thanks, and I would know why his face no longer had that weary look, nor would his eyes be heavy from the lack of sleep. The time to worry was over. All that could be done to survive had been done. There was nothing left to do, but cherish the warmth of home, and give grateful thanks. That one year in those lean 30’s, I knew in my very young heart, just looking at the change in Father, we had been blessed beyond measure. Interested in an electronic version of Maryís books?

Ottawa Farm Journal was read, and he stayed longer in the old rocking chair by the Findlay Oval, as the darkness of the Fall night closed in around us. And once he had taken one last trip out to the barns, instead of heading right for his bed, he lingered in the kitchen, lighting his pipe, and taking one last cup of green tea. And I would know. I would know without asking why this change in Father from one season to the next was taking place. The hay mow would be full, and there was no worry that we would not have enough hay to feed our animals over the long winter. Grain would be plentiful. The cows would be healthy and ready to give us milk for our own use, and to take to the creamery. That year, it had been a good season. One amongst few in those Depression years. With enough feed to care for our livestock until the next crop was ready, the cellar full of vegetables and preserves, the meat house

Time to eradicate European water chestnut on Wolfe Island: Ducks Unliminted Canada By Margaret Knott Correspondent

White went on to describe what he and 3 summer students had been doing to help control and eradicate the outbreak. “The Wolfe Island outbreak is relatively small so it is possible to control it hopefully before it can spread into Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence system,” he said. “ Since early June to the end of August DUC and the supporting agencies have been monitoring Island’s outbreak of the species. “With boats ﬁrst and ﬁnally 3 canoes, students and myself have been working our way through the 1700 acres where we have been physically pulling each plant from the water along with its roots, all by hand, with a goal of preventing the plants from producing seeds that can be dormant for years. We brought in loads each day, bagged and composted it away from the water. We need to keep looking. We need to continue our control efforts, Public Education and engagement. We need to develop a volunteer-led eradication group, 15-20 people, BYOB (Bring your own boat) White introduced Eric Fargo, one of the summer students who had arrived during the meeting expressing thanks for his hard work. For more information on European Water Chestnut and volunteer-

ing opportunities contact DUC in Kingston Call toll free 1-866-389-0418 White also directed the audience to EDD Maps Ontario and their EDD (Early detection& distribution) mapping system online or with a mobile device, (See it.-Map it). at www.EDDMapS. org/Ontario or call 1-800-563-7711 for information or to report a species sighting “With your help we can eradicate this invasive species and keep Wolfe Island’s wetlands clean and healthy,White concluded.

Heritage News- Invasive European Water Chestnut has been identified on Wolfe Island in Bayfield Bay and Button Bay, posing a threat to local wetland habitat and also to Ontario’s bio-diversity. That was the news brought to islanders by Justin White, Conservation Technician with Ducks Unlimited Canada at an information meeting on Wolfe Island. Justin is DUC’s European Water Chestnut Coordinator who with support from the Invasive Species Centre, the Ont. Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, has been monitoring the European Water Chestnut on Wolfe Island “The European Water Chestnut is so new to Ontario, so new to the island most people don’t know what it looks like,” Justin said. “And it is important to know what you are looking for and why it has to be observed, removed and destroyed.” He went on to describe the aquatic plant as an aggressive annual that quickly form dense floating mats on the water, becoming dense decaying mats that cut the amount light penetrating the water

impacting native plant growth, causing a lack of oxygen and stagnant water leading to fish kills and no food for them, waterfowl and wildlife. Brought to North America in the 1800’s as an ornamental plant, it rapidly spread through parts of the USA and has reached the south shore of Lake Ontario. “As of 2014 it has been found along the Ottawa River at Voyageur Park, here at Wolfe Island’s’ Button and Bayfield Bays,” Justin said. “It is a plant like no other with large green floating sharptoothed leaves, producing up to seven rosettes per plant that appear in May or June, flowering in June with four white small petals. The plants spread wide and thick , killing off everything around and under, and produce seeds that are very sharp with four barbed spines. They mix in with the water lilies,” he continued.. “Their hard nutlike black spiked seeds are free floating and can cause injury. They are a danger to people, pets and other animals. Plants appear when water temperature stays at 10*C, in nutrient rich areas, in sheltered lake bays, ponds and rivers (less than 7 feet). The European Water Chestnut is like a virus. A true invasive species. But there is hope.”

Did you STREET FLEA MARKET know... FURNITURE & ANTIQUES

The tradition of jack-o'-lanterns began in Ireland and Scotland, and pumpkins were not the first gourd of choice to use as lanterns. Turnips and rutabagas were often used because of their availability. When Irish immigrants migrated to America, they brought their jack-o'lantern traditions with them. Turnips were not as prevalent on this side of the Atlantic, so carvers turned to pumpkins, which were larger and easier to carve. Jack-o'-lanterns get their name from Irish folklore, particularly a character named Jack. Jack liked to drink and couldn't pay his pub tab, making a deal with the Devil for his soul to cover the pub fee. Jack agreed, but he tricked the Devil to get away with his soul and captured the Devil. Jack agrees to free the Devil if he makes a new deal that the Devil can't ever have his soul. Years pass and Jack eventually dies. Because of his poor lifestyle, he is not material for heaven, and Jack is once again reunited with the Devil. Because the Devilremembers he cannot have Jack's soul, Jack is forced to roam the twilight world forever as a lost soul. The Devil gives Jack a few embers to burn to light the way, which Jack stores in a hollowedout turnip. Eventually these lanterns, used to keep scary spirits at bay, were called jack-o'-lanterns.

The naked truth By Sherri Paterson Columnist

I’ve heard it said before that if you’re giving a presentation and are nervous, you should either picture the audience wearing underwear, or being completely naked, to calm your nerves. While I’ve never used this tactic, I’m sure it’s an effective one, since it seems like everyone and his or her dog knows about it. But, has this question ever been posed: What do you do when you’re onstage, and the audience is naked already? Hmm. Yes. I’ve learned from managing my boyfriend’s band that sometimes, a gig is just a gig. And other times, wellÖit’s something else, entirely. You see, ever since my then exboyfriend showed up at my door in June, asking me to manage his band, the “fun quotient” of my life has skyrocketed. We have been lucky to have been ñ uh ñ “exposed” to experiences we wouldn’t have been otherwise. And two of their recent gigs ñ both at the same place ñ were proof of that. It started innocently enough: A woman visited my boyfriend’s store, struck up a conversation with him, about an event she and her R0012920939

partner would be hosting, and after a rash of emails and phone calls, booked his band. So, later that week, he and I were at a gorgeous campground and resort, north of Tamworth, checking out the venue. Getting out of my car, we saw the owners for the first time. I will never forget walking towards them, hand outstretched, big smile, because this was no ordinary introduction. The man on the receiving end of my proffered hand was naked from the waist down, and his partner ñ in business and life ñ was wearing only a sweatshirt that went to her upper thigh. Now, I knew what I was getting myself into: I was aware it was a naturist ranch the band would be playing (or, a “nudist community”, to those not down with the naturist’s lingo). I’ve got to say that there’s something about carrying on an intelligent, coherent conversation with a guy without pants and his barely-clad partner that can be labelled “surreal”. But, their warm and friendly nature put us immediately at ease, and we couldn’t wait to play for them and their guests. The only thing I had to endure were the “Dude, where’s your pants?” jokes from my guy, all the way back to Kingston, and even now. Small price to pay for this once- (well, twice-, as it turned

out)-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We arrived the following Saturday; it was an unseasonably cold August day. It had been raining off and on ñ sometimes torrentially ñ and we wondered how the audience would keep warm, given their preference for being in the nude. The band was set to perform on a raised platform at one end of a large, funky barn. So, as the band members began loading in the equipment, I, being the band’s representative, made a beeline for the group of naturists sitting at the other end. Might as well jump in, with both feet! “Hi!”, I called, walking towards them, “I’m Sherri, with the band.” Since it was chilly, some were in full clothing. But other brave souls defied the weather and greeted the elements as nature intended. I made a mental note to look them in their eyes. After some pleasantries and a sound check, it was show time. I will never forget our bassist’s face, as he surveyed the crowd who, at one point, shimmied up from the other end of the barn, en masse, naked, dancing in a conga line. They dragged me off my bench, pulling me up into the centre of the dancing group. Regardless of how odd

The History Of Bubba’s Pizza Bubba’s Pizzeria Fish and Chips, at Frontenac and Johnson, creating his own original, in-house homemade pizza recipe. Tasso helped out with the restaurant until 1983 when he decided to move back to Greece, but soon returned to Kingston. In 1985, George ‘Bubba’ Doulas moved Bubba’s Pizza to King Street and named it The Original Bubba’s. The restaurateurs added a new sensation to the menu in 1988; poutine. The idea of poutine is said to have come from military men serving in the French army. One day, a military man who was serving in Kingston stopped by Bubba’s and asked George if they sold poutine. George admitted he had no idea what poutine was, so the military man explained it was French fries topped with cheese and gravy. George quickly created his own in-house gravy recipe, which he generously ladled over the fries and cheese curds. It was an instant hit, adding to the blossoming popularity of the pizza parlour which became known for its homemade pizza, fish and chips, subs and other delights, and now; Kingston’s best poutine. http://www.bubbaspizzeria.com By 1993, Tasso opened Bubba’s Pizza at 401 Princess Street serving the Kingston area. Today, 32 years after the first Bubbas opened, the Doulas family celebrates their amazing story of success by giving back to their customers and the community through special offers, promotions, plus charitable and community events.

ADVERTORIAL

The Bubba’s Pizzeria www.bubbaspizzeria.com story begins in the small village of Kadila, Greece: population 2,000. This is where the Doulas family originated from and three boys became men, Chris, George and Tasso. Life was a struggle for the Doulas family and the other villagers. Even as youngsters, the three brothers toiled in the fields helping local farmers, and helping pave roads to earn enough to eat. They had no choice but to drop out of school to help their family earn enough money to survive. Chris, the eldest, served in the Greek army. Faced with a future of desolate poverty, Chris and George immigrated to Canada from Greece with nothing more than the shoes they wore, a couple of shirts, jeans and next to no money in their pockets. Not only were they virtually penniless, they didn’t speak English. In 1971, 19 year old Chris and 17 year old George moved to Napanee, Ontario and found work as dishwashers at local restaurants, including Paul’s Pizzeria, Mom’s Restaurant and Superior Restaurant. They learned English while on the job, carefully repeating the words and phrases. Three years later they were joined by their younger brother Tasso who had moved to nearby Deseronto where he found work at the United Restaurant. Life seemed to be turning a corner for the brothers because in 1976, Chris and Tasso bought Dianna Family Restaurant in Midland. George also helped out but two years later returned to Kingston and worked at Broadway Restaurant. In 1982 George Bubba Doulas opened

I was even dancing, ballroom-style, with a naked man, 55-ish, always mindful to keep my eyes above the neck. Too bad the moment was only captured in memory. All in all, it was a hoot, and the audience loved it, too. We were invited back two weeks later, to play

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, October 2, 2014 31

Region’s preeminent dance company returning to its Tett home It’s been a long road that the Kingston School of Dance (KSD) has travelled since leaving the Tett Centre when the building closed for a transition to its uber-modern setting, now named the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. “We were the last ones to move out before renovations,” said Ebon Gage, Artistic Director. “We were hanging in there until we completed our 2010 year-end show.” The school lost none of its students when it moved to its downtown Princess Street temporary location. Compared to their studio in the old Tett, which featured leaky, drafty winters and hot summers, the new Tett is so beautiful and highly equipped that to stand inside it feels like the group must have travelled through a time and space portal and entered another world. “The new Tett is so good for us,” said Nadine Baker, Chair of the

KSD Board of Directors. “People want to come to the big premier arts centre. We feel like a cornerstone of that centre. We can now collaborate with so many artists on site.” Kingston School of Dance was founded by arts patrons in 1967 as a non-profit school to instill ballet training in the Kingston region. Instructors were brought in from Toronto. In 1972, the school hired Len Stepanick of the National Ballet of Canada as Ballet Master. Five years later, KSD became incorporated and registered as a not-for-profit organization. They gained charitable status in 1990. By 2003, when Diann Denning was hired as Artistic Director and Ebon Gage was hired to teach jazz, the school had 80 ballet students. The stage production of Cats opened a huge door for KSD in 2007. It was a time when changing demographics meant a declining population of school-age children. That was expected to be reflected in KSD enrollment. But that never happened. Gage, who choreographed the Cats production, used the KSD studio for rehearsals. The show was a massive success and Gage became Artistic Director of

KSD the next year. He introduced classes in modern dance, lyrical, acro, Afro-Cugan, tap, Latin jazz, hip hop and bboyz. By 2011, even after moving to a temporary location on Princess Street where parking was an issue, the school had 275 students. During our interview, Gage and Baker played off each other like a couple of excited six-year-old kids. “We can do things with Joe’s M.I.L.L., work with Theatre Kingston on spoken word and dance, work with visual artists,” said Gage, followed immediately by Baker: “We’ve [artistic groups] been scattered around for years. The collaborations are going to be eye-opening for our own students, too. The whole space will be alive.” The new Tett Centre will allow the dance school to soar even beyond their current high artistic level. Fittingly, Soaring was the title of the school’s most recent performance at the Grand Theatre in June. The Kingston School of Dance has also designed a curriculumbased educational package for teachers. Several elementary schools have already signed up for field trip visits to KSD as part of

the arts curriculum. “We’re the only non-competitive dance group in the region so we’re really trying to establish a pre-professional school for those who want to enter a career in dance,” said Gage. “But our students are so disciplined, they can go into sports, physiotherapy, anything they want.

Dance doesn’t just lend itself to being on stage.” “They are also the future patrons of the arts,” said Baker. “Their involvement in dance makes them stop and appreciate each other’s work and all the arts, not just Continued on page 33

satellites, and we’re coming together now. It’s great for our dancers to see that just down the hall is Modern Fuel and all the other arts groups. People of many arts forms will be coming in and out of the building. They’ll see people passionate about different artistic forms.” Gage said he wants to see opportunities develop with Queen’s University groups that have classes in the Isabel Bader Centre, which is next door and part of the arts groups clustered on site. “I hope we have an opportunity to work with media students at the Bader,” said Gage. “Technically, they can see the world of dance, but it won’t be about dancers putting on a show. It will be about how can we get the technology of graphic design and make it move on stage. How do we make it a threedimensional experience. I’d like to see our corps of dancers do work like that. We did a [visual] projection this year in our Soaring show. It changed the whole look on the stage.” Since the dance school was part of the Tett renewal plan, they were fully involved with architects in creating the space the school would use in the centre. “Because of structural elements designed into our space, we can use silks and hoops. There will be a lot of oppor-

dance. Our registration comes from all ages. We have little three-year-olds who just want to try dance and we have seniors who have always loved it and others who have always wanted to learn. We provide that artistic outlet. Dance is for all ages, genders and abilities.” Gage explained that dance in 2014 is not just about pretty lines or body types anymore. “Dance can be for anyone,” he said. “We have people who are 70 and still dancing. We have young dancers working with the corps and others who are just learning for the first time. Dancing is ageless. We are coming to a new generation of thinkers where there’s not a word that says ‘can’t’ anymore.” During the past several years, many more boys have become students at KSD. “I look at all the energy in bboyz,” said Gage. “Some boys want to do tricks and some want to learn what a plie is. Some want to go in and be athletic and build confidence. I have moms sitting here and go, ‘oh, my God,look at what these boys can do, especially if they have a son who is not sports team oriented but really loves the arts and wants to find a physical outlet.”

The school’s company dancers, or the corps of Kingston School of Dance, are highly skilled and brilliantly creative. Each of these dancers has been prepped for dance at the professional level. “We’re not putting out cookie-cutter costumed dancers,” said Gage. “We’re not looking at the newest outﬁt. We’re looking for the greatest challenges artistically.” In last week’s column, I wrote about a fashion show collaboration between the Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners and the Kingston School of Dance. “When someone says ‘fashion show’ and they think of runway, I say, ‘no’,” said Gage. “There will not be a runway. It’s about our corps dancers showing how fabric moves. It’s showing how it’s made. We’re not just showing a glove, but the glove can speak; we’re not just showing off a shawl, we’re showing how it wraps around shoulders, and you can adjust it and make it move, make it into a sculpture. Our dancers will get the audience to think beyond.” Through proximity at the new Tett, artists of different genres will tend toward collaboration. “All the groups have been so isolated for years,” said Baker. “We’ve all been

Children’s author treats kids to an interactive reading during Writersfest “I am working on another book now and I am hoping to have a first draft done next month,” explained Baldacchino. “The book will center around a character named Violet Vandergard, but Morris will probably make an appearance too.”

R0012922430_1002

W S NO E N AY OP URD T

Heritage news – It certainly was a nerve-racking day for first time author Christine Baldacchino, but luckily numerous enthusiastic supporters made it all better. As part of Kingston WritersFest, Baldacchino visited J.G. Simcoe and Loughborough Public Schools on Sept. 24 to share and do a reading from her newly published book, ‘Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress’. The book was inspired by Baldacchino’s own experiences teaching at nursery and Montessori schools. “In one particular school there was a boy who really loved wearing this beautiful gold dress and his parents tried to dissuade us from letting him wear it,” explained Baldacchino. “I was in disagreement, but the director of the school removed the dress from the classroom. Every day the boy would come and he would silently look through all of the dressup clothes looking for the dress.” The boy eventually asked about the dress and promised that if Baldacchino brought it back he wouldn’t wear it. She was heartbroken by the events and was inspired to write a story about them. “I had just written it as something to read to the class on its own, but I didn’t end up doing it because I thought the director at the school might get the wrong idea,” added Baldacchino. “I had a friend, Allan Stratton, who is also a Canadian author, read the book and he pushed me to pursue publishing it. Now here I am.” Shortly after the book was published, Baldacchino’s publisher asked if she would visit some schools to do readings and she was happy to oblige, but not as happy as the kids. Loughborough public school students even wore orange to match Morris and his dress. “The kids are so enthusiastic. I love seeing how excited they get and how engaged they are,” said Baldacchino. Student Kalynn Sobey was very excited to hear the book read by the author, but she was also excited to hear the story again and hear her favourite parts. “My favourite part was when he made some friends,” said Sobey. “I liked that they didn’t care he was wearing a dress. The dress made him feel happy and I liked that and wanted to be his friend too.” The book was also inspired by Baldacchino herself and the bullying she received as a child for doing things that boys typically do like playing with trucks. She hopes that Morris and his story inspire kids to not judge each other so quickly. “I like targeting some larger issues for the kids and myself. I hope that they can learn from the books and that the lessons are subtle. They are important and I hope they grow

up remembering these lessons and ideas.” After reading the book, Baldacchino answered some questions. The most common question was about a sequel for Morris.

MEDIA SPONSOR Kingston Heritage - Thursday, October 2, 2014 35

There is a big difference between price and cost Lifestyle - I recently received an email from friends of mine who were having difficulty with getting some issues resolved on a new car. The vehicle was a

luxury unit costing north of $60K and the issues were minor (some light scratches on a bumper, incomplete detailing and cleaning before delivery, and a stubborn license plate mounting nut). But even minor things like that can be a major headache on an expensive new vehicle. Most of us have experienced something similar. We purchase or lease a new or used vehicle and, come delivery day we find a few things that need some attention. In the overwhelming majority of cases

these things are quickly addressed by our retailers or, if time is of the essence, we take delivery as scheduled and make an appointment to get things handled later. Auto retailers are in the business of keeping their customers happy, so itís no surprise that they will do their best to achieve our satisfaction, thereby ensuring repeat and referral business. But what happens when the dealership changes ownership on the day after we get our new ride? This is what happened to my friends and, at first the new owner group wasnít too willing to handle these concerns. In fact it took me sending an email to the media office of the automaker involved to get things rolling. Dealership owner changes donít happen on a regular basis and few of us might get caught in the same situation. But there is a common consumer practice that may lead to the same disappointments. When shopping for a new vehicle, all of us are price conscious. Automakers make it easy with websites and media advertising that promotes pricing first and almost everything else second. Add to this the clamor of competing retailers struggling to get consumer attention with increasingly louder and bolder ads and youíd not be surprised that we focus on pricing when selecting a retailer to buy from. This is why shoppers will travel

across the city, country, or region in search of the best deal. And often the price differences between a distant and nearby retailer are minimal. But thereís a lot more to owning and operating a vehicle than just the purchase price. On a regular basis dealership service departments welcome neighbours that purchased their vehicle elsewhere but wish to have their auto service, parts and accessory needs met by a more convenient store (read closer to home). After all a new vehicle is covered by a bumperto-bumper warranty right? What does it matter where we purchased it? Well it matters a lot. Every day dealerships take care of scratches, stone-chipped windshields, punctured tires, and a host of plain ordinary automotive problems that are not covered by a manufacturerís warranty. They do this because of their belief in good customer service and also because when they sell a vehicle, a portion of the profit goes into a ëpolicyí account to cover things that the manufacturer doesnít when a customer needs help. And as all auto retailers are independent businesses, when theyíre faced with a request for such policy coverage on a vehicle they didnít sell, well as you might suspect, the answer isnít likely to be positive. Consumers might also be surprised to learn how much influence dealerships

have when it comes to getting the factory to provide out-of-warranty consideration after a vehicleís warranty has expired and an owner is facing a major bill. Many dealerships are empowered to make their own decisions on extending such ëpolicyí or ëgoodwillí coverage when the time and distance limits are exceeded. And even if a customer contacts the automakerís consumer complaint department directly, before any decision is made, the hotlineís staff will contact the dealership for an opinion. The moral of this tale is; in the long run, even if a distant retailer is offering a lower price, youíre better off shopping at a local retailer. After all, theyíre the folks that sponsor your childrenís sportsí teams, make donations to local charities, employ your neighbours, and contribute greatly to area property taxes. Simply put; itís wiser to consider cost over price.

Powerful performances keep this thriller on track By Mark Haskins My Take

Opinion - Most psychological thrillers are fast paced in order to keep you at the height of tension. The Captive spans eight years as Atom Egoyan explores the trauma, suffering, and perseverance of his characters as they deal with an unimaginable horror. When she was eight Cass (Alexia East) was taken from the backseat of her father’s pickup truck. Matthew (Ryan Reynolds) had stopped at a truck stop after Cass’s skating practice. He was gone five minutes, but it was five minutes too long. Matthew and his wife Tina (Mireille Enos) are plunged into a nightmare. The police, led by detectives Nicole (Rosario Dawson) and Jeffery (Scott Speedman), are searching, but they keep coming back to Matthew as the prime suspect. For eight years Matthew never stops looking. For eight years Nicole and Jeffery continue to investigate pedophile rings on the internet. For eight years Tina continues to hate and blame Matthew. For eight years Cass lives with her abductor, Mika (Kevin Durand), and for eight years he uses her

to entice other children. The Captive takes the psychological thriller, and puts it on a slow boil for eight years. It’s eight years of anguish. It’s eight years of pain. It’s eight years of suffering, and Atom Egoyan

when things are happening in relation to other events. It can be effective to watch a story unfold from multiple points within the story, but in The Captive there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. It just seems like Egoyan is trying too hard to make his film into art. As a collection of actors this cast is nothing short of brilliant. Egoyan relies on them to make the horror of this event real. He relies on them to make their characters seem like real people, and they succeed beyond any expectations. Scott Speedman, Mireille Enos, Rosario Dawson and Alexia East are fantastic. Kevin Duran proves himself to be a true chameleon as he becomes this intelligent and creepy monster. Ryan Reynolds gives one of the best performances of his career. I was astounded by his portrayal, and found it remarkably convincing and incredibly powerful. The Captive has great performances. It’s a uniquely fascinating story. It’s filmed with such realism it almost borders on the surreal. Yet the manner in which it is told is baffling. I’m all for art, but sometimes simpler is better. Mark Haskinsí column appears on a regular basis.

explores every inch of it. He takes you inside this horror. He makes it real in a way that’s both hard to watch, and fascinating. He does it by avoiding any graphic displays, and instead relies on the depth of emotion from his actors. In this regard The Captive is an incredible piece of movie making. However, Egoyan tells his story in a non-linear fashion. It jumps around from so many different points within those eight years it’s hard to know

Changing trends make newspapers best alternative Columnist

Lifestyle ñ I have been in the newspaper business all of my working life. I donít think I have ever written anything in defence of newspapers over the course of 43 years. But there is always a first time and for me this is it! What prompted me to write this particular column is the ongoing criticism I am hearing regularly about newspapers in general. Itís amazing how many people think newspapers are headed for extinction. I respectfully disagree. Newspapers need to reinvent themselves in many cases, no question of that. If newspapers move with the times their future is unlimited. Thatís because newspapers still lead the way when it comes to news gathering. And reporting is the most basic and yet the most important aspect of the news business. Needless to say I have been disappointed to witness the steady decline in the daily newspaper industry in Canada and across North America. The United Kingdom and Europe seem to have resisted the trend to some degree, although the newspaper landscape overseas is also very fluid at present. The rise in the popularity of the

worldwide web (Internet) was the first big blow for the dailies. The more recent impact of so-called ìsocial mediaî has delivered an even bigger hit. People are depending more and more on their handheld devices, tablets, laptops and desktop computers to access news, sports, weather and in particular entertainment alternatives of all kinds. I totally get it. In our plugged-in world, people now expect to receive information immediately. I feel the newspapers, especially the brain trusts responsible for the big dailies, badly underestimated what the Internet and social media was going to do to them. They reacted very slowly and for some well-known publications that has proven disastrous. Some big names have already fallen and others are hanging on for dear life. The truth is that some newspaper companies have reacted faster and they have done a better job of putting together websites that are proving more and more popular with people who wonít spend the money to purchase a newspaper or wonít take the time to read one. Digital media is the trend and with it comes numerous advertising options. Advertising of course is the lifeblood of this business.

The advantage newspapers have is that they have staff in place that are plugged in and can use the various platforms available to the news media today. Some are doing it more effectively than others obviously. Old papers fall Still others have totally failed in their attempts to stay afloat. As a result some staid old dailies have fallen by the wayside. The Rocky Mountain News in Denver, Colorado is one example. The paper, the oldest in the state and a fixture in Denver since 1859, published its last edition in February 2009. The very next month the Seattle PostIntelligencer, which was founded in 1863, reverted to an online edition only. No hard copy newspaper from the Seattle P-I. The list goes on! The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, once bitter rivals in the Motor City, long ago joined forces under a joint operating agreement. That has evolved into what is called ìthe Detroit Media Partnership.î From what I have read the Free Press in particular is experiencing rapid digital growth these days. The sale of hard copies is far less practical, not only in Detroit but across the continent. A good example is our own neighbourhood in

Carleton Place. My wife and I are among the few people who receive a daily newspaper from Ottawa every morning. When we first moved here, 23 years ago, every second house got the same newspaper daily. Yes, things have changed dramatically. At one time people could count on the nearest daily paper to cover their district. The daily was supplemented by the local community newspaper, such as this one, which for most of my tenure in newspaper management were paid circulation products. Now the majority of community newspapers (they were once called ìweekliesî) are controlled circulation or, as they are more commonly called ìfree distributionî products. In other words they are delivered to every door in the community free of charge or are available in boxes placed in central locations. Radio and television has been around for a long time of course and over the years those mediums have also changed significantly. Years ago when we wanted an immediate news fix we would turn on the radio or TV. Thatís not as easy to do now. Radio news is a thing of the past on many stations and others have cut

their news and public affairs content considerably. As for television the slant today is clearly toward entertainment programming. News is being left largely to the ìbig boysî, networks such as FOX or CNN. In Canada the CBC and CTV networks offer all-news channels on cable and Global is also a big player on the news side. Locally I have been surprised by how much television news has changed. Recently I was shocked when I turned on a popular channel to watch ìthe newsî only to discover the first story of the evening was about the death of comedienne Joan Rivers. Admittedly I was never a big fan of hers. But seriously, was that story the ìtop news storyî of the day ñ or any day for that matter? With apologies to Joanís loved ones, I think not. Certainly not in Ottawa, at least. Increasingly I have found myself turning to the aforementioned news channels if I want to see and hear about the major stories of the day. As for the daily papers in this region I canít say they do a good job of reporting the news in the district surrounding Ottawa. Budget cuts Continued on page 39

have forced newspapers to retract and cover city news, not district news. I hope that changes obviously. I would love to see a return to the days when Ottawa dailies covered the Ottawa Valley like a blanket. That is highly unlikely given the shift in how news is being covered and presented. But I feel newspapers in general still have a strong role to play. Given the mass media shift away from in-depth news coverage, that is where newspapers win. That includes community papers such as this one.

Newspapers vital If I want in-depth stories I have to read a newspaper. Those who arenít bothering to pick up their community newspaper or a district daily are missing a lot. Thatís really unfortunate because there is so much more to the news than what you see or hear capsulized on the Internet, social media, radio or television. For example, the only way I could really keep up with last weekís Scottish referendum, something that really interested me, was to read the daily newspaper. The little snippets in the mass media were mere teasers. They didnít satisfy my appetite with

in the dark on so many important subjects. To be fair I have to give local radio some credit. But as I have already written, if you want the story behind the story you have to read the community newspaper. Iím often asked if I think the days of hard copy papers are numbered? People know about my long tenure in this business and they are interested in my opinion. Many feel that given all of the changes, newspapers could go the way of the Passenger Pigeon. I donít think so! Certainly not in the foreseeable future at least and

I hope that over the course of time there will be something of a return to hard copy products, including daily newspapers. Obviously the world changes more and more each day. But newspapers have always managed to find a way to survive and even thrive. If the powers that be continue to react positively to the changing marketplace then I am confident thereís a strong future for newspapers. I certainly hope so!

On the other hand when I want to be brought up to date on what is happening with respect to the municipal election in Carleton Place, where we live, this is the newspaper I read. Community papers are the only good alternative left when it comes to news, sports, information and advertising in smaller communities such as ours. Thank goodness for the community newspaper.
