Students remember through art By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – The polished aluminum Time sculpture in Breakwater Park looks a bit different this month thanks to 300 art and history students from Grades 7-12 at Frontenac Secondary School and Module L’Acadie. The sculpture, erected in 1973 by artist Kosso Eloul, has been draped in dramatic poppy-red fabric as part of a project called ‘A Time Remembered’. FSS teacher Erica Robinson came up with the idea and was inspired by the works of artists Christo and JeanneClaude and their artistic desire to wrap global landmarks in fabric. Robinson wanted to do something similar and tie it to Remembrance Day and the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. “I wanted students to do more than just mark the anniversary, I wanted them to have a personal connection to it,” explained Robinson at the dedication for the project on Nov. 7. “I didn’t want to just tell them, I wanted to involve them.” Involving students also meant informing them, and Robinson worked with other faculty to organize a day of workshops where students interacted with veterans, active military members, historians, scholars and spouses

and family of military members. After the workshop, students were asked to create 1x1 foot squares of red fabric representing what they learned and how they choose to remember. “History is not just statistics or facts in a text book, it is real,” said Robinson, who was overwhelmed by the student response. “The speakers helped the students see that and it really changed how they saw this project. Kids were coming up to me and telling me about songs and poems they wrote and asking how they should incorporate them.” Some of the poems ended up on the squares that were pieced together and then wrapped around the Time sculpture. Other students chose to include names of veterans, messages of love and remembrance and images of crosses and peace. The project was installed on Nov. 1 and will remain at Breakwater Park until the end of November. At the dedication ceremony, numerous community members spoke about the project and its importance, including MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala. “One of the challenges of Remembrance Day has always been finding ways to connect with those we are remembering,” said Kiwala. “This proj-

From one mayor to another: Patience, team building should be goals of new council Reporter

Kingston Heritage – A transition of power is underway in the second-floor mayor’s office at Kingston City Hall. Outgoing mayor Mark Gerretsen says he plans to meet with mayorelect Bryan Paterson to explain some of the demands and responsibilities that come with leading a city of 123,000 residents. Paterson, a first-term councillor in Trillium district who defeated five other candidates in his inaugural race for mayor in the Oct. 27 election, will formally assume the $90,000 a year job Dec. 1 to start his four year term. “It takes a lot of patience,” said Gerretsen, when asked what advice he plans to offer the 37-year-old mayor-elect. While the job demands may be similar, Gerretsen says Paterson will have to develop his own leadership style. “I don’t think there is any particular advice I can give other than to say you kind of have

to make it your own. I tried to make humour part of mine, like joking around at council meetings.” Gerretsen’s humour may have helped to ease tensions on the often-divided council, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a 7-6 voting block that emerged on several occasions, according to returning councillor Jim Neill. “In the last four years it was almost always the same 7 and the same 6 - not on every issue but on too many issues,” he observed. Paterson’s rookie leadership and pro-development election platform could pose unique challenges as he will lead a council where seven of its 12 members are newcomers. “He’s going to be working with a very different council,” explained Coun. Neill. Of the new-look council’s style, he added: “It’s possibly the most progressive council we’ve seen in 20 years willing to look at issues anew, willing to look at neighbourhood concerns, and not just from a business perspective.” Coun. Neill’s own advice for

the new mayor is that a successful city isn’t just built on new development. “We’ll be able to do things in a way that reflect those sustainability goals. It’s not all about economics.” Voters elected newcomers Richard Allen, Laura Turner, Adam Candon, Mary Rita Holland, Jeff McLaren, Peter Stroud and Ryan Boehme. Returning for another term are councillors Kevin George, Jim Neill, Lisa Osanic, Liz Schell and Rob Hutchison. Councillor-elect Peter Stroud, a full-time nurse at Kingston General Hospital who has campaigned for the NDP in the past, says he’s looking forward to working with Paterson and the rest of council. “I don’t know Bryan. I’ve met him a couple of times. He’s very charming and he’s very intelligent. So I’m looking forward to working with Bryan to move the city forward.” Stroud is also very aware of the friction that existed on the current council, and says it’s something he intends to avoid. “People didn’t like the dysfunctional council, the

way it was split so often the same way. It became more about ideology rather than solutions.” He added: “So I’m willing to put whatever ideology I have aside and work with everyone to find solutions together because we really need to work for our city.” Coun. Neill says he also expects a change of attitude and a departure from the current voting blocks. “I think it’ll be refreshing for us to come together and sometimes disagree but to have a different mix on voting issues.” Mayor Gerretsen says the concept of political consensus is almost impossible to achieve because of different philosophies and ideologies among councillors. “Consensus sounds great. It’s impossible. If we all agreed on the issues all the time then why would we ever get together to debate them? We can all get together to sing Kumbaya.” Gerretsen says a more realistic goal for the new council is team building. “Team building is about bringing people together early on to develop our strategic plan. I think

we were successful in that.” The new council will have to wait four months to hold its strategic priority talks, which are scheduled to take place over three nights starting March 30. Meanwhile, Mark Gerretsen is expected to chair the final meeting of this council term Nov. 18. The incoming council’s inaugural meeting is slated for Dec. 2.

Orientation week for Kingston’s newly-elected mayor and councillors By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Kingston mayor-elect Bryan Paterson will get his first view from the big chair this week. He will preside over a mock meeting of the newly-elected council on Thursday, Nov. 13. It’s part of a three-day orientation session for councillors. The staff-guided sessions, to be held around the horseshoe at City Hall, are the

school equivalent of Municipal Governance 101. “Monday night (Nov. 10) is an overview of the departments, the way the city works, a drink from the fire hose kind of thing for all the new councillors,” explained Paterson. “Wednesday (Nov. 12) we’re going through everything like conflict-of-interest and in camera meetings – all the legal stuff. And then Thursday (Nov. 13) we do a mock council meeting. So it gives Place Place youyour ad in ad in EMC the Classifieds Classifieds

The orientation meetings may be just a practice run, but they will get to do it for real starting Dec. 1. Meanwhile, some councillors are lamenting the unplanned shut down of committee meetings as the current term winds down. At least three powerful standing committees - administrative policies, arts, recreation & community policies, and environment, infrastructure & transportation policies – have been cancelled this month due to a lack of quorum. Coun. Jim Neill says he hopes some of his colleagues who failed to win re-election will continue to serve out their term until Nov. 30. “It looks like some of them have quit early,” he remarked. He says committee agenda items dealing with weighty topics such as a new strategy to improve snow removal and a million-dollar-ayear plan to combat the emerald ash borer will, instead, be added to the information reports of the final agenda of the council term on Nov. 18.

Documentary tells the story of Kingston hockey pioneer By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Hockey history is something that is often celebrated in Canada, especially in well known hockey towns like Toronto, but where does Kingston fit in? That is a question that local filmmaker Dale Morrisey asked himself for years while he worked at the lesser known Kingston Hockey Hall of Fame. “I was working as the assistant to the curator at the Hockey Hall of Fame, which at the time was down by the Memorial Centre,” explained Morrisey. “I always looked around and thought to myself, there is a cool story here. There is a story about why this place exists. Why it is so quiet and forgotten in comparison to the big shiny hall of fame in Toronto?” Morrisey made a small documentary about the Kingston location while he was in journalism school, but he was never really satisfied with it. He moved on to start his own production company, WJP Media and in 2009 he stumbled upon a new idea for the project. That idea turned into the newly released documentary ‘The Father of Hockey: Captain James Sutherland and the Battle for Hockey’s Hall of Fame’.

“Sometimes you pick your projects and sometimes they pick you and this one definitely picked me,” said Morrisey. “Through some contacts I stumbled upon the story of Captain Sutherland and the project started there.” Captain James T. Sutherland was passionate about hockey and after visiting the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame he got the idea for a similar place in Kingston for hockey. Capt. Sutherland coached the Kingston Frontenacs for a number of years and led them to numerous championships before becoming president of the Ontario Hockey Association. He also founded the famous Memorial Cup to honour hockey players that had fallen in the First World War. Sadly, Capt. Sutherland died in 1955 before his dream of a Kingston Hockey Hall of Fame come to fruition, and in the years that followed the Hockey Hall of Fame found a new home in Toronto. Morrisey wanted to explore how this happened and look at the history of the sport and Capt. Sutherland. What started as a small project quickly grew larger and larger. “I kept finding more material on the subject,” said Morrisey. “I managed to get an interview with Don Cherry and hear his childhood sto-

ries of Capt. Sutherland and then I was able to speak with Sutherland’s two surviving grandchildren and film interviews with them. The project quickly became the length of a feature film.” Morrisey showed the project to a few friends before crossing paths with Factory Film Studio, a studio that represents and helps market independent filmmakers. “They looked at the film and liked it and agreed to take me on. I was thrilled, but also very nervous. It was quite the process to get to distribution from there – it took about five years, but now here we are.” The documentary was released across Canada on Oct. 28, distributed by Entertainment One Films.

Think you know Sir John? Re-examining the Macdonald legacy By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

R0012992506

Events - There’s no denying that Kingston has been abuzz with Sir John A Macdonaldthemed excitement in the months and years leading up to the 2015 Macdonald Bicentennial events, which will mark the 200th birthday of Canada’s first prime minister. But what was the cost of the much-mythologized “nation-building” attributed to our country’s most famous forefather? The 16th annual Indigenous Symposium at the Queen’s Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre will examine this topic Nov. 14-15 at Robert Sutherland Hall. “Every year the theme of the conference is different, but it’s always structured around indigenous issues,” explains PhD candidate Erin Sutherland, who is organizing the symposium alongside Rebecca Rhodes. “This year, because it’s so close to the [John A Macdonald Bicentennial], they decided that it would be a great idea to do something in response to the celebration.” Sutherland notes that the idea is not to present Macdonald as a “bad guy”, but to get people thinking more critically about his legacy and how it is remembered. “His story is kind of heroicized,” she says. “For better or worse, he was involved in some very influential policies that really affected not only indigenous people, but also settlers and Canadian politics in general that you can still see in the way that Harper celebrates Canada.” As the superintendent of Indian Affairs, for example, Macdonald had a strong influence on

early policies surrounding indigenous people in Canada. Sutherland points out that he was also one of the first people to bring up the idea of residential schools, which had a resounding and devastating effect on the indigenous population. “There’s a very kind and curmudgeonly image of him perpetuated throughout Kingston, and it’s just more complicated than that,” Sutherland notes. These ideas tie in closely with The Other Kingston Project, something Laura Murray, a symposium presenter, has been involved with for quite some time; the idea of the project is to draw out different local historical figures to get a broader idea of Kingston’s past. “I’ve really started thinking a lot about how much Kingston pays attention to Sir John A Macdonald and how it doesn’t pay a lot of attention to a lot of other aspects of its history,” says Murray, who sits on the municipal heritage committee, as well as that committee’s educational working group, which is in charge communicating history to the public by way of things like plaques and walking tours. “I can’t tell you how many Sir John A plaques there are, but there have to be about 15-20. Then there are of course roads named after Sir John A Macdonald, schools named after Sir John A Macdonald, buildings named after Sir John A Macdonald. There are just so many things associated with him. And that would be fine, except that there is a finite amount of energy and money for these things.” Murray’s talk will re-imagine what Kingston would be like if there were more recognitions of the city’s indigenous history. For example,

there was an important man named Dr. Peter Jones, a contemporary of Macdonald, who graduated from Queen’s Medical School in 1866. “He was one of the first Status Indians to get a medical degree in Canada, and he went on to become chief and a very important leader in his community,” Murray says. “We think he’s the kind of guy that we also ought to remember in Kingston.” The symposium will also hear from the local music collective The Gertrudes; along with poet Sadiqa Khan, the group wrote a song about Macdonald called Of One Almighty Nation, to the tune of the classic Irish drinking song Whiskey in the Jar. Gertrudes member Greg Tilson explains that they were approached by both the John A Macdonald Bicentennial Commission and those organizing the Indigenous Symposium, and asked to participate in these events. “We’re happy to take part in marking the 200th birthday of Sir John A Macdonald but just felt that it was important to make sure everyone is invited to the party and that all voices are heard,” Tilson says. We were feeling there’s probably room for more critical perspectives. This is Kingston history, this is Canadian histo-

ry, and in history there needs to be many sides of the story.” The song touches on both the admirable and not-so-admirable aspects of Macdonald’s legacy, from his grand dream of a “land of milk and honey” to the native children he sent to residential schools. “If you look at the lyrics of the original version of the song, it’s about troubadours and thieves,” Tilson explains. “And that certainly relates to some of the topics that the Gertrudes’ version of the song touches on in terms of land treaties and that sort of thing.” He adds that “We don’t want to crash the party by any means, because Sir John A was a great man and did wonderful things for the country. We just felt like we could play a role by expanding the dialogue. We wanted to figure out a way to make it accessible so many people can relate to it and challenge people on some of the subject matter.” A number of other speakers will be featured at the Indigenous Symposium, including internationally known Métis artist, curator and scholar David Garneau.

Kingston Heritage – A proposed hi-rise apartment building at 845 Gardiners Road finally has council’s clearance after staff corrected a glaring safety oversight. The building, to be located on a vacant gas station lot next to the Cataraqui Centre, was initially supposed to be 18 storeys tall. But councillors, acting on a citizen’s complaint, recently ordered planning staff to do another review of the project based on concerns that it could stand in the glide path of planes using Norman Rogers Airport. Turns out, it does. Kingston mayor-elect Bryan Paterst th son, who currently chairs the planning committee, says he’s glad the planning department’s oversight was found and corrected. “We circulate these applications to every department so we rely to some degree on the expertise of people in the community to raise these issues. Fortunately it was raised, albeit at the last minute.” In response to the extended reach of GET AN SWAP YOUR the airport’s zoning rules, apartment developer CJM Property Management ADDITIONAL RIDE BONUS * agreed to reduce the building’s height to 14 storeys, but will alter the building’s footprint to accommodate the same WHEN YOU PURCHASE OR LEASE MOST NEW FORD VEHICLES number of residential units. The hi-rise will still have 167 units consisting of 49 one-bedrooms and 118 two-bedrooms, plus balconies, a roof top terrace and amenity space. There will be 209 parking spaces, 59 of which are proposed as surface parking and the remaining 150 spaces as underground parking. Coun.

Commissioner Lanie Hurdle, who oversees the planning department, explained that planners are “not experts in every single area.” “There was some confusion around this particular item,” she acknowledged. In an interview, Coun. Bill Glover blamed the oversight on council’s prodevelopment push to be ‘open for business.’ He says the staff check list of seeking input from various department heads seems to have been overlooked in this case. “That was not on someone’s check list, or it was but somebody didn’t check it.

Editorial

In Our Opinion

Reluctantly prepping for winter Recognize and support our young civic starsÂ Â Â Editorial - Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a huge fan of winter. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hate it, but I certainly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love it either. I do appreciate the beauty of freshly fallen snow and the fun that can be had playing in it, but for the most part winter is just a gross, cold, dark mess and sadly that mess is fast approaching. With the end of daylight savings time comes the inevitable darkness of winter. Perhaps I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dislike winter quite so much if it was lighter and if we had more daylight. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really sure why we still observe daylight savings. We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all farmers any more and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to conserve candles. Some areas of our country (Saskatchewan) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even observe daylight savings, so why do we? I hate going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. It makes me sleepy and sad and I long for the sun and some much-needed vitamin D. Winter also seems to emphasize cloudy days and make them worse.

They become drearier than they are in every other season and when we get long stretches of cloudy days it is hard to be optimistic and stick it out. Living back at the cottage certainly hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done much to improve my feelings for winter either. For eight to nine months (if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky) a year we have the perfect living situation. The lake is beautiful and the area is filled with colour and life. I can go read outside on the dock and suntan or take a walk through the beautiful forested areas, but then winter comes. The leaves disappear and the cold winter wind rips across the frozen lake almost daily. It is cold and wet and when you are heating mainly with a wood stove, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good combination. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do well with cold and a damp cold is even worse. Luckily, last winter taught us a lot of valuable lessons in winter cottage living. We learned that we needed better insulation and heat under the not fully winterized cottage. Thankfully, our landlord (a.k.a. my in-laws) have done a lot to improve that situation. The cottage is warmer already and for that I am so grateful. We also learned that we need to

Kanata Kourier-Standard

be prepared for all of the terribleness that winter can bring. We need to have lots of sand and salt on hand and even some more powerful de-icers for when the temperature drops to a point where salt just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. I fell a few too many times on ice last year and I certainly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be repeating that. Most important, we learned that dry, seasoned wood is our best friend. Last year we used non-seasoned, wet wood and we struggled to get a fire started everyday. It was terrible and even when the wood did catch on fire it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t burn very hot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who knew that wood could burn at different temperatures? This year, we invested in good quality wood that is now all neatly stacked in our wood shed. It is making me feel warm just thinking about it. Priorities for winter certainly change when you live in a cottage, but at this point I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it any other way. The good outweighs the bad when it comes to living on a lake and while it may require a bit more planning and preparation, I think we are ready for the winterâ&#x20AC;Ś letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just hope the predictions are wrong and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be anywhere near as bad or as long as it was last year.

Editorial - Do you know someone aged six to 17 whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real standout among their peers? Someone who volunteers a helping hand on a regular basis, or who has shown him or herself to be hero to their family, school, church, or community?Â Someone, perhaps, exhibiting or a high level of academic and extra-curricular achievement, who manages it all while also helping to make life better for others? Â The Ontario Community Newspaper Association (OCNA) is looking for the most dedicated, intrepid, and caring youth in order to bestow upon them the 2014 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award, and we would like invite all of our readers into the nomination process. Â You can nominate someone by completing a nomination form found on the OCNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen.

Up to 12 awards will be given out at a ceremony in Toronto in March of 2015, to which all recipients and their families will be invited.

Frequency Fallout: City moves ahead with tall communications tower Reporter

News - Kingston is moving ahead with plans to erect a 73 metre (240 foot) communications tower in the city’s rural area, despite a neighbour’s strong objection. Fire Chief Rheaume Chaput advised councillors there could be safety risks if they try and delay construction of the $213,000 metalframed radio transmission tower next

to Fire Hall Number 9 at the corner of Highway 38 and Rock Road. “It will create an extended period of risk on emergency responders,” he warned council Nov. 4. He says the self-supporting tower will enable police, fire, public works, transit and utilities to operate on the same radio frequency in order to better coordinate their response to emergencies. The tower is a key component of the city’s planned $5.8 million overhaul of its

communications infrastructure, and will lead to the replacement of four outdated mobile radio systems. The fire hall’s rural location was selected because of the broad transmission coverage it provides. “The longer we delay the more likely we may have a problem,” the fire chief explained. Councillors debated whether the tower could be moved across the road to a privately-owned industrial park to create more distance from

homeowner Gordon Taylor. But staff say this could add about $600,000 to the budget, adding it’s a simpler process to erect the facility on land the city already owns. According to Taylor, he was assured there would be no tower built on the fire station land, which he sold to the city 20 years ago. However, city officials say no such documentation exists and it may have been just a verbal agreement. Taylor complained about the

height and visual impact of the radio tower, which would be situated about 242 metres (723 feet) from his Rock Road house. The planning committee sided with Taylor and voted against the proposed location in early October. That decision was overturned by council Nov. 4. Councillors were told they don’t have authority to reject the tower because, even though it’s a municipal tower on municipal land, the size, location and features of telecommunication towers are regulated by Industry Canada, a federal government department. Instead of delaying the work, council decided the best compromise is to relocate the radio tower from the proposed west side of the fire station land to the northeast corner in order to put it as far as possible from Taylor’s house. Chief Chaput says the move will cost a small amount of money, but it should still fit within the project’s current budget. He says the fact that some of Kingston’s public safety agencies can’t talk with each other was identified as a critical gap in the city’s communications infrastructure two years ago. Even though councillors remain in a ‘lame duck’ status through November, they had already approved the capital monies needed to revamp the system, and hired Motorola Solutions Canada to implement the shared radio technology changes, which allowed them to continue debating the issue.

“How much seed? What qualities are you looking for in the seeds you need? Would you be interested in growing out seed for yourself, and for others?” Dowling adds: “We hope that the workshop will begin discussions that could lead in the future to one or more seed businesses, or perhaps a co-op or some other sort of collaborative.” Dowling invites people to “come to the workshop and help shape our regional seed and food system.” The program will run from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm on

Saturday, Nov. 15, and will be held at Inverary United Church in Inverary. There is no charge for the event, and lunch is provided. To register, email info@seedsgrowfood.org or call Dianne Dowling at 613-546-0869. The workshop is sponsored by KASSI and by the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security.

Farmers, gardeners, and others interested in food are invited to an upcoming gathering about saving seed. Planting for the Future: Building Capacity for a Regional Seed System will take place Saturday, Nov. 15 in Inverary. The event is being organized by KASSI, the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative, which has been encouraging regional seed saving and production since 2011. “Almost everything we eat begins with seeds, so whoever controls seeds, controls food,” says Kathy Rothermel, a Wolfe Island farmer and member of the KASSI. “As a result, we want to build our region’s capacity to grow its own food and its own seeds.” Traditionally, farmers and gardeners have saved much of their own seed from a harvest to use in future years. This has meant that food growers gradually breed crops varieties that thrive in their particular soils, climates, and growing conditions. Government-funded plant breeding expanded in the 20th century, with public research in Canada producing new crop varieties like, for example, canola. However, in recent decades, public plant breeding has largely been replaced by private corporate research. As a result of the centralization of seed breeding, more than 90 per cent of the crop varieties that existed 100 years ago have gone extinct. Many farmers and gardeners worry that this loss of

diversity is a serious problem in a time of a changing climate and increasingly unpredictable weather. As genetic diversity in seeds is lost, food crops can become more vulnerable to diseases and a hotter climate. “To have a truly self-sufficient local food system, we need seed that is locally grown, locally adapted and locally distributed,” Rothermel argues. “Otherwise, someone else is making the decisions about what seeds are available for us.” Heritage crop varieties are actively saved in the Kingston area, such as through the Heirloom Seed Sanctuary hosted by the Sisters of Providence. These varieties are available to farmers and gardeners in the area, many of whom send part of their seed yield back to the Sanctuary to collectively replenish the supply. “We need a seed ‘commons’ approach to the management of our agricultural heritage,” explained Rothermel. KASSI’s upcoming workshop will include a panel on ecological seed with updates on seed initiatives elsewhere in Ontario, Canada, and around the world. KASSI also wants to explore potential for local seed businesses or co-ops. In addition, there will be a hands-on demonstration of the use and construction of an air-column seed cleaner, a networking table and seed saving books for sale. Lunch will be provided at the free event. “We will be asking the farmers and other seed-growers attending the workshop, what seeds do you need?” explained Dianne Dowling, also a KASSI member.

New ‘toy’ drive focuses on building board game libraries for community groups By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritgaeemc.ca

Dec. 1-10, after Santa arrives. Bui aims to donate board game libraries to groups like Big Brothers, Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Club and even some smaller organizations. “I am certainly open to suggestions and I hope other groups reach out if they want a game library. Hopefully we can get enough games to set up a handful of libraries across the city,” added Bui. “I also hope to get a variety of games for various age groups.” Family For the Win also runs board game socials throughout the community at various seniors centres and community centres and Bui is always looking for interested groups. “I really just want people to discover new games and a new way of socializing and interacting. People, regardless of their age, learn these new games and you can see the discovery in them and the excitement and that is what it is all about for me.” For more information on Family For the Win and their programs, visit www.familyforthewin.ca or visit them on the first and second Wednes- Quang Bui is the creator of ‘Family For the Win’. day of each month at Frontenac Mall at 6:30 p.m.

Heritage events – Monopoly, Scrabble, Backgammon, Battleship – these are games that many of us grew up with. We played with our families and friends and we had a great time doing it. This trend has worn off over the years and many people would rather stare at a screen than break out a board game and socialize. But Quang Bui hopes to change that attitude in Kingston. “I started a business called ‘Family For the Win’ about a year ago with the idea of getting people to come together and play board games and socialize a bit more,” Bui explained. “I always played board games as a kid and as I got older I played more video games, but they really aren’t the same.” Bui started organizing board game socials in Kingston this fall, and while interest has been off to a slow start, he hopes more and more people will start taking notice and coming out. “Playing board games is something I do every weekend with my parents now. I introduce them to new games and we always have a great time. I want to do

that with members of the community. I want to teach them about new games and show them how fun playing with a group can be.” Bui also runs a board game program for families where he drops off a few games for the month and then swaps them out the next month for new games. “I have a handful of regular customers and they all really enjoy it. They love trying new games and it really keeps them interested.” To further expand community involvement, Bui has come up with a unique ‘toy’ drive for the holiday season. It is called the ‘Board Game Exchange’; instead of donating new board games, Bui is encouraging people to donate lightly used games. “Usually in a toy drive they want new games, but we’ll take used games and people can either exchange their game for another lightly used game or spin a wheel for a prize when they donate,” explained Bui. “I hope to build board game libraries for different community groups with the donations.” Donations will be taken at Frontenac Mall Nov. 22-23 and 29-30. Bui will also be at the mall accepting donations from

Tana Gordanier fall show to be held in family home a slice of nature and a private area (no crowds) and I am in heaven,” says Gordanier, who started out as nature photographer. After watching TV shows on animals in East Africa, the aspiring photographer decided to go on her first safari. Since then, she has traveled far and wide to capture those rare photo opportunities. She made her last African safari in 2012. “It’s a nature photographers dream,” says Gordanier. “Nothing, absolutely nothing, can come remotely close to being in the field with thousands of wild animals around you.” Making this trek to Africa, not once, but six times, Gordanier has also photographed the history and wildlife of both Costa Rica and Cuba. Each year at this time, Gordanier opens her home to showcase and sell her wonderfully bright and warm images. The show will feature images from her new found passion of photographing autumn colours, from Algonquin Park to Kingston’s rural routes, as well as some photographs from her wildlife and Cuba collection. This year’s open house runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 1316 in Red Brick House, 2789 Woodburn Rd., Joyceville, overlooking the Colonnade Golf and Country Club. Gordanier’s photography has developed over the years into a unique and spectacular art form. She loves colour and says her art show this year will be a testament to that - bright fall colours with oranges and reds. “I just got back from shooting white birch forests and fall colours in lively Ontario,” adds Gordanier. “I almost peed my pants when I saw for the first time in my life an entire forest of white birch with fall colour bushes scattered in amongst the tree trunks.” In the weeks prior to her open house

she also spent time photographing the back streets of Havana, Cuba, focusing on its old windows, doors and flower markets. “So there will be lots of colour in the November art show.” She enjoys seeing people’s reactions to her pictures when they are printed on canvas and look more actual paintings than photographs. “I get a good laugh when I look at my pictures. I can’t believe I actually created them. Sometimes most of the people I know can’t believe it either. They think all I can do is cook in the

Tana Gordanier has come home. She was never that far away from her childhood home, which is now the Colonnade Golf and Country Club. But, with the passing of her father, it was time to move back to the family homestead. Her father (Hubert Gordanier) moved here at the age of 11 in 1935 with his parents and three brothers. He fell in love with farming as a child. His childhood dream was always to be the sole owner of the land he ploughed each spring behind a team of horses. Over time it became a reality. While working the land he so loved, he met his second love and married Stella Kerr. Together they had five children, Debbie, Tana, Paul, Lee and Mark, who now own and operate the Colonnade. “Dad lived in the old red brick farm house until he died at the age of 88 in 2012,” says Gordanier. “So in 2013 I decided it was time to renovate the homestead and make it my home and art gallery. Now it takes me 20 seconds to walk to work.” Born and raised on this dairy farm in Joyceville, Gordanier spent a great deal of her childhood trying to find time for a creative outlet. While studying at Queen’s University, her art instructor bluntly stated she should never teach art. Not easily discouraged, she began painting watercolours in the early 1990s. From there she developed an eye-pleasing sense of design, which would later be incorporated into her Photographer Tana Gordanier photography. prepares to hang two of her newGordanier was introduced to photogest works of art, as she prepares raphy some 30 years ago after painting in for her annual Fall Open House, watercolours for over a decade.

Her photographic skills were acquired mostly from reading books and through trial and error. That meant a lot of wasted film back in the nondigital age. The support she received from her family was a big influence in her decision to become an artist. Her mom was the center of her universe until she died of breast cancer at the age of 53. “She supported me in anything I wanted to try,” says Gordanier. “But my artistic talent likely Wood Pellet Sales & Delivery • Harman Stoves Sales came from my dad.

She tries to keep prices reasonable being as it’s just her hobby, not her main source of income. “If that was the case I would be living on a park bench. The phrase ‘starving artist’ was created for a reason.” This talented artist always has words of encouragement for aspiring

photographers. .“To me the most important thing for an artist to keep in mind is to shoot, paint, or create whatever turns our own crank,” explains Gordanier. “Don’t create for others. The process of creating is what makes me giggle like a little girl playing with her dolls. It’s the journey, not the destination, that is important.” For details on Gordanier’s photos and the open house visit www.tanagorganerica. R0012994615_1113

News - Do you know a boy between the ages of seven and 13 who wants to act, sing and play one of the most iconic roles of all time on the silver screen? If so, there’s an audition taking place Nov. 15 that he doesn’t want to miss. Tiny Tim: Casting a Holiday Classic is an original talent reality show produced by Kingston’s TV Cogeco. The goal is to find the perfect Tiny Tim for filmmaker Anthony DP Mann’s musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’A Christmas Carol. The son of Ebenezer Scrooge’s clerk, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim appears only briefly in the story, yet he is an essential character, symbolizing both the immediate and societal consequences of the protagonist’s choices. “I’m looking for a talented young fellow who can act, carry a tune and steal the audience’s heart,” Mann explains. “This is Tim’s story, as he represents hope - that’s the theme of Carol. This special kid will need to have a magical quality that projects innocence and the best qualities of the human spirit.” Producers are hoping to see at least 30 boys audition on Nov. 15. Of those, six contestants will be chosen to be part of the show. Over a four week period, they will be put through various acting and singing challenges, and three judges, Mann, Char-

From there, viewers at home will be able to vote for the winner. “It’s an opportunity for the community to be a part of something that has a significant outcome,” says TV Cogeco producer Mike Pontbriand. “For all the kids auditioning, it’s a chance to be in a big movie - one that has a distribution deal in place already as opposed to a film that’s just someone making an independent movie that may or may not go anywhere.” In 2013, Cogeco produced a similar show, Casting Christine, which cast the star of Mann’s adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. “It was great,” Pontbriand recalls. “It was neat to be part of such an emotional process. We were surprised at the number of people who were so into playing Christine, and I assume that with Tiny Tim there are probably a lot of kids out there, or parents of kids, who would like to see them play that iconic role.” Auditions are held for one day only: Saturday, Nov. 15 from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. at the TV Cogeco studio, located at 170 Colborne St. Filming of A Christmas Carol will take place February through April, 2015.

Kingston Fire and Rescue encourages community members to ‘Say No to CO’ CO detectors both have a life span and need to be replaced in order to continue being effective. “Most smoke alarms last about 10 years, but CO detectors have a much shorter life, usually four to 7 years depending on the make,” added Patry. “The detector is constantly filtering the air around you and as the detector ages that filter becomes less and less effective.” While legislation is set to pass in December, Patry expects that it will be quite a while before KFR moves towards true enforcement. “I expect that our department will hold back for the better part of six months if not longer. Our view is really towards public education and awareness.” For more information on the ‘Say No to CO’ program visit COSafety.ca or cityofkingston.ca/ fire.

Heritage News – Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the silent killer, but Kingston Fire and Rescue (KFR) are certainly not silent when it comes to educating the public about the importance of CO awareness and the installation of detectors. “Detectors have been around for over a decade, but now legislation is expected to pass in December of 2014 requiring homeowners to have a CO detector in their home,” explained KFR Assistant Chief Paul Patry. “We want to take this opportunity to educate the public and really make people aware of the hazards of CO and these potentially life-saving devices.” Legislation will require homeowners who own a fossil fuel producing appliance like a furnace, wood stove or propane heater, to have a CO detector installed on the same floor as sleeping quarters. Patry also points out that in some cases, where homes have bedrooms on multiple floors, more than one detector may be required. Last spring, KFR did a door to door check of both smoke alarms and CO detectors. While CO detectors were not mandatory at the time, smoke alarms have been for many years and shockingly staff found that 40 per cent of the homes they visited did not have working smoke alarms. Many residents also asked if they needed to have both a smoke alarm and CO detector in their home, sparking a need for a specialized CO education program. “They do two very different things and both can have a serious and devastating outcome,” explained Patry. “Carbon monoxide may be even more dangerous than smoke because you can’t see it, smell it, taste it or feel it and you have no idea if it is there. It is very important to have both detectors in your home.” NEW With some assistance from Union Gas, ! KFR has launched a new program called ‘Say No to CO’. The program will work to educate the public about CO and will even provide detectors for those who may find it harder to obtain them. “Funds were generously given to us by Union Gas to help support this initiative,” added Patry. “We know that legislation is changing, but people’s ability to become compliant with that change really comes down to education and access to resources.” For seniors and members of the community with disabilities, access to resources may be more difficult and Patry urges those members to call KFR and ask for assistance. Funding is limited, but Patry hopes that those who require a detector will have access to one. “We get calls all the time for assistance and in this situation decisions will be made at our discretion and based on the need of the individual seeking assistance. We would love to be able to help everyone, .COM but the resources simply aren’t there so we need to be sure that those we are helping really need it.” Educating people who already have a CO detector is also part of the ‘Say No Visit our website, click the calendar to CO’ program and Patry points out that and start posting events FREE! nothing lasts forever.

Venus In Fur sizzles Theatre Kingston’s next production, Venus In Fur, is raw, sexy, edgy, provocative and very funny. Playwright David Ives offers a wild ride exploring male/female relationships. If ever the word multi-layered fits a play’s description, this is it. David Ives’ works typically weave nuances and layers, along with the humor audiences expect of him. Lurking underneath the humor are powerful social issues. On the surface, Venus In Fur is just kinky fun. But it’s a turbulent ride, with no forewarning when you are about to plummet over a peak and into the depths of malefemale confusion. “It’s a deceptively simple play,” said Brett Christopher, artistic producer for Theatre Kingston and the director of Venus In Fur. “The construct of the play is that a female actor comes to an audition room to audition for a play with the playwright/director. She’d do anything to get the part. As the plot un-

ravels and ravels, it explores a web of social issues. It looks at power, malefemale relationships, sexism. There are incredibly strong themes that you don’t necessarily see on the first pass.” As Vanda, the character who is auditioning, dives into the script, the actor and the role blur. Vanda becomes increasingly challenging and forceful. It’s an odd combination where the actor becomes simultaneously funny, sexy and mysteriously dark. Although Theatre Kingston has had the rights to the play for two-and-half years, and could have staged the Canadian premier, Christopher decided to hold off. Instead, it had its Canadian debut in Toronto last year. “It’s a challenging piece for an audience,” said Christopher. “We determined that we needed to build up to it. Over the past year, we’ve run blue/ orange, Vigil and Red. These are all plays that stir a debate. The shows are not telling you what to think, but they are telling you to think. This year, after Red, I think we’ve reached a place where the community is ready. We launched a survey after Red and asked our audiences what they most want when they leave a piece of theatre; 88 per cent said “think” and “debate.” That was really heartening. With Venus

In Fur, we have a synergy of work we love to produce and what an audience wants to experience.” Venus in Fur had its debut off-Broadway at Classic Stage Company in New York in 2010. The play was a monster success and moved to the much larger Lyceum Theatre Broadway setting in 2011. It closed on July 17, 2012. Unfortunately, the leads, Nina Arianda and Hugh Dancy, had other theatrical and film commitments and the show could not be extended. When I first saw Venus In Fur on Broadway it became one of my favorite plays. As the stage went dark at the end of the show and before the curtain had dropped, the audience at the Lyceum Theatre jumped to its feet. We’d witnessed magic, a masterful production of a great new play. A week later Nina Arianda won the Tony Award for her role as Vanda.

Venus In Fur sizzles Continued from page 18

it quick on the train. So what can you tell me? This is like based on something, right? Besides the Lou Reed song? Venus in Furs? THOMAS: This is based on an old German novel called Venus In Furósingularóby Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. VANDA: I bet you read German. I bet you read it in German. THOMAS: I did, actually. Anyway, the book was a huge scandal in 1870. VANDA: Well, sure. Basically it’s S&M porn. THOMAS: It’s not S&M porn. VANDA: You don’t think it’s porn? Or porn-ish...? For medieval times, 18-whatever, I mean?” Vanda’s brashness and lack of pretense morph unnoticeably into what is nothing less than a brilliant philosopher under the streetsmarts surface: “And Vanda really is Venus, right? Am I crazy? She’s like Venus in disguise or something....” It isn’t long before underlying themes emerge and challenge the audience. “VANDA [as DUNAYEV]: In our society, a woman’s only power is through men yadda yadda I want to see what Woman will be when she’s man’s equal in education and his partner in work. When she becomes herselfóan individual. THOMAS [as KUSHEMSKI]: You only say that because you yourself are so individual. VANDA [as DUNAYEV]: A man usually says that to a woman whose individuality he

is about to undermine.” Twists and turns erupt everywhere as Vanda changes roles in the blink of an eye. One moment she’s Vanda, the actor; the next, she’s the character she’s auditioning to play. “It’s a comedy,” said Gowdy. “It is entertaining, but it’s like a vehicle for real issues.” “It’s about something,” said Carty. “A lot of times, comedy is not really about anything. This one’s about big ideas that have been around for millennia.” Preparation for the role of Vanda put Gowdy in a unique situation. She explained that she’s been going to the gym. She paused and laughed. “I have to appear in my underwear. And it sounds flaky, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what being a goddess means and what being a woman means. I’ve been reading a lot about femininity, women and sex, and watching little video clips like Marlene Dietrich, and doing some dialect work. And I’ve been reading the play over and over again.” She explained that much of her preparation for the role has been internal. “When I directed Red, I was learning about someone else,” she said. “This has been more about learning about myself and how I can play this role of a goddess inhabiting this character.” The play itself is about a play, so there’s a bit of an Escher quality to the plot. “It’s not often you do a play about theatre,” said Carty. “It’s kind of fun. I’m an actor, but know a bunch of playwrights and directors. There are remarks in this play that I’ve heard

directors say. These are awful things to admit, but these are realistic portraits.” Every piece of this production is crucial to its success: the actors, director, lighting, sound, costumes. The play is like a puzzle of a thousand pieces. Each must fit for the image to be clear. Theatre Kingston has what it takes to pull this off. To find out who comes out on top in this 90-minute play (no intermission), you’ll have to see the show. Venus in Fur will be the first Theatre Kingston production staged at the Studio Theatre of the Isabel Bader Centre, the stunning new facility at 390 King Street West. Venus In Fur previews on Nov. 20, opens on Nov. 21 and runs until Dec. 7. Don’t wait to get tickets.

OUT

STANDING IN OUR FIELD

Our home on native land By Aric McBay Columnist

Out Standing in our Field - As a farmer, I often find myself just looking out over the land - watching the movements of cows, checking the incoming weather or assessing the changing of the seasons. And especially in the late fall, when the Canadian and then American media are abuzz about Thanksgiving, I find myself thinking about the history of that land. I find myself thinking about that fact that nearly all of the land in North America was, to speak bluntly, stolen from indigenous people in one way or another. I’m not sure if working closely with the land makes me think more about this than most people. After all, it’s not just farmland that was stolen, but all kinds of land. Pretty much every institution we encounter in our lives was built on stolen land. In the middle of Kingston there was once a Haudenosaunee village on what is now City Park, and those people were driven out to make room for institutions like Kingston General Hospital, Queen’s University, a courthouse, and so. Sometimes people would rather forget this. But we can’t. Not just because it would be wrong to ignore injustices that continue to the present day, but because the food we eat is grown on stolen land and because virtually every meal we have includes foods created by indigenous people of the Americas. Most of us learned in school that the native peoples of this continent were “hunter gatherers.” And it’s true that they were really good hunters and really good gatherers. But a lot of them were (and continue to be) really good at growing food. Consider for just a moment the awe-inspiring diversity and importance of crops bred from wild plants by the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Corn. Potatoes. Sweet potatoes. Tomatoes. Peppers both sweet and hot. Most of the beans we eat.

Peanuts. All of the squashes, from pumpkins to zucchini and more. And cocoa; they invented chocolate, for goodness sake! That’s just scratching the surface (since we could also talk about sunflowers, various nuts, berries and fruits, as well as wild rice, amaranth, quinoa, arrowroot, maple syrup, and so on). And then are then there are the nonfood crops like cotton, tobacco, and rubber. Corn, by tonnage grown, is now the most important food crop in the world. Potatoes are also in the top four, a short list which is rounded out by rice (originally from Asia) and wheat (from the Middle East). The mostly white-fleshed potatoes we eat represent only a tiny sliver of the diversity of potatoes still found in the Andes, which come in a rainbow of colours (blue, red, purple, etc.). The lack of diversity in potatoes spread to Europe made the crop more vulnerable to diseases like the one that triggered the Irish Potato Famine. Many of these foods were grown on a truly impressive scale, and not always in a way that was obvious to European explorers. Indigenous food growth techniques included ways of altering landscapes we often consider to be “wild”—like forests—by using deliberate small forest fires and other techniques to encourage certain plants to regenerate. Their efforts actually increased the diversity of species and improved the health of the land. It’s a far cry from how settler society treats the land today. We clearly have a lot to learn from indigenous people. And a lot of injustice to correct.

Winter is synonymous with many things, but few people would rank home fires atop their list of things that remind them of winter. However, according to the United States Fire Administration, more than $2 billion in property loss occurs in winter home fires each year, and more than 900 people per year lose their lives to winter home fires. Perhaps the most troubling thing about those statistics is that winter home fires are entirely preventable. By taking certain precautions, men, women and children can greatly reduce the risk of home fires. · Have the furnace inspected. Ideally, furnaces should be inspected and any problems addressed before the arrival of winter. But many homeowners forget this routine maintenance until that first cold day when it's time to turn the heat back on. If you have not yet had your furnace inspected, schedule an inspection with a local HVAC professional, who can make sure all controls and emergency shutoffs are fully functioning. If you discover an issue during a self-inspection, call a professional to make the repairs. Unless you have experience in HVAC repair, it's best to let the pros handle any repairs because the stakes are so high. Home fires often result from faulty equipment, so only trained professionals should be inspecting and repairing your home furnace. · Be especially careful when using portable heaters. Portable heaters can warm up those areas of the house that always seem to be too cold in winter, and such devices also provide a backup plan in case of a broken heating system. But the USFA notes that, in 2011, heating equipment was involved in more than 53,000 home structure fires in the United States, accounting for 14 percent of all reported home fires. When using portable heating equipment, such as space heaters, radiators

and portable fireplaces, do not place such devices anywhere close to items that can burn. Upholstered furniture, bedding, mattresses and clothing can ignite in seconds, so keep portable heating devices away from such items. And always turn portable heating devices off when leaving the room where they are in operation. · Address frozen pipes correctly. Water pipes in a home can freeze depending on how cold the home gets. It might be tempting to thaw such pipes with an open flame, but such an approach is highly dangerous, as the pipe may begin to conduct the heat and ignite the wall structure inside the space. When addressing pipes you suspect are frozen, thaw them with hot water or even a laboratory-tested handheld dryer rather than an open flame. · Treat your fireplace with kid gloves. Fireplaces make great gathering spots for families in the winter, but only when they are operated safely. Before lighting the first fire of the season, have the fireplace and chimney inspected and cleaned to reduce the risk of fire. Once the time comes to spark your first fire, do not use flammable liquids to start or accelerate the fire and make sure you have installed a screen in front of the fireplace to prevent embers or sparks from jumping out of the fire and possibly igniting any nearby items or materials. Inspect smoke alarms. Properly functioning smoke alarms can save both your home and your life. When functioning properly, smoke alarms can alert you to a fire early on, giving you time to extinguish a small fire before it spreads or to escape a larger fire before it threatens your life. Inspect your smoke alarms periodically regardless of the season and make sure you have at least one functioning alarm on each level of your home.

Enchanté

Talented actor prefers the teaching stage “How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?....How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?” I have the answer: You turn the role over to Sara Sturgeon, the local actor who played Maria in Bottletree Productions’ Sound of Music two years in a row. Like many actors and performers, she’s gently introverted, yet loves performing and being on stage. The third year Queen’s University Con Ed (Concurrent Education) student mesmerized the city with her Sound of Music performances in 2012 and 2013. She became Maria in the minds of many, not an easy task, considering Julie Andrews has owned the role for decades. During Sound of Music, the audience quickly grew to love Maria. I wouldn’t call it typecasting, but I would say the personalities of Sara and

Maria aren’t dissimilar. There’s the gentle kindness and caring for others, along with a positive attitude, even in difficult times. “Maybe we’re a little similar,” says Sara, when I suggest the likeness. “But it was a bit strange. I kind of felt like a kid myself and here I was being in charge of the von Trapp children. But, like me, Maria is a teacher, basically.” But Sara is more than a one-role actor. She followed Sound of Music with Enchanted April, where she played the un-Maria-like, but equally free-spirited, Caroline, who uses and struggles with her sensuousness. Definitely not nanny-like. And not nun material. At first, I did not recognize that it was Sara Sturgeon in the role; from body language to appearance, it was diametrically different from that of Maria. Enchanted April was the first nonmusical in which she’d performed. It posed new challenges for her. “You don’t have the songs and dancing to fill things out,” she says. “There’s nothing distracting the audience from your acting skills. Ian Malcolm is a fantastic director. We spent hours and hours working on character development. It was a great experience.” In the theatre world, she adores Ju-

lie Andrews. “When I watch Julie Andrews, I think, ‘That’s why we do theatre.’ I loved Laura Osnes in Cinderella. And Audrey Hepburn. And Dustin Hoffman in Death of A Salesman.” Her bucket list of still-to-see shows includes A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, currently on Broadway. She’d also like to see Pygmalion and Peter and the Starcatcher. “And of course, I’m going to see Pirates [of Penzance at Regi] in Kingston. And I’d like to see the stage production of Mary Poppins.” This past summer, she appeared in Blue Canoe’s production of Mel Brooks’ The Producers. “It was strange at first,” she says. “I’d never done a Mel Brooks show.

of the Bella the dog Bella is small sized pug mix, weighing in at only 5.5kg. She is well suited to the term “lap dog” and is a sweet girl who is going to need some help socializing with new people. She is a little timid and shy, however, once she feels comfortable, her true personality shines through. If you would like to help Bella get a fresh start at life, please come visit her at the shelter today!

Ruby the cat Ruby is a beautiful 5 year old domestic short hair orange tabby. She is affectionate and kind, and has been an easy keeper at the shelter. Ruby came to the KHS as a stray, and has been at the shelter since Oct. 1. She loves everyone she meets, and could likely live in a home by herself or with other animals without any problem. Looking for someone to warm your lap for the winter? Ruby is your girl!

sing, act, experience different things.â&#x20AC;? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see Sara Sturgeon in the role of Diana in Kingston Meistersingersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; upcoming Anne of Green Gables. The problem with this production of Anne of Green Gables is that there are two casts, which appear on different nights. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common amateur theatre approach to selling more tickets because of friends and relatives who fill the seats. Still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annoying. To see Sara Sturgeon in her role, you need to get tickets for performances on Friday, Nov. 21 (7:30 p.m.), Saturday, Nov. 22 (7:30 p.m.), Thursday, Nov. 27 (7:30 p.m.), Saturday, Nov. 29 (2 p.m.), or Sunday, Nov. 30 (2 p.m.). A few weeks ago, I wrote about Kathryn Johnston, who plays Anne in a different cast than the one in which Sara appears; to see Kathryn, you would need tickets for different nights: Thursday, Nov. 20 (7:30 p.m.), Saturday, Nov. 22 (2 p.m.), Sunday, Nov. 23 (2 p.m.), Friday, Nov. 28 (7:30), or Saturday, Nov. 29 (7:30 p.m.). For tickets to Anne of Green Gables, go to www.meistersingers.ca.

She decided to attend Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University because of her career path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people do a degree and then decide they want to be a teacher,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I already knew I wanted to be a teacher, and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the best school to do that, especially the Con Ed program.â&#x20AC;? In the concurrent education stream, students get classroom teaching experience from their first year and continue practicum involvement throughout their concurrent Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education programs. Students who enter the Consecutive Education program get a BA first and then do a Bachelor of Education. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any hands-on teaching experience until after their BA is completed. Sara chose the concurrent program, working on her B.A. and B.Ed. degrees at the same time, gaining valuable hands-on experience from the start. Her teaching specializations are in French and biology. She loves anything involving linguistics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no reason to go anywhere else when the best school is here in Kingston.â&#x20AC;?

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, November 13, 2014

Will the ferry move or not? By Margaret Knott. Correspondent

R0012989803

Heritage-- Can you believe it ! After what seemed to be a very short summer, winter is upon us. We have arrived at that time of year when a waiting game begins on Wolfe Island. Will the ferry be moving to the winter dock any time

soon? Or will it stay in Marysville? Will the water remain high enough to keep it there? Coming into Marysville, whether from the head or foot each day, islanders wonder if the sign will be up that directs them to the fact that: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wolfe Islander III is now operating from the Winter Dock at Dawson Point.â&#x20AC;? As I write the ferry remains in the village. And while we wait for what ever is to happen, happens, some village businesses have closed for the season, the bakery, the coffee shop, The Grill, Vinnieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Horneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ferry season ended last week. The boats at the Boat Club are put away and stored. At the same time the harvest continues with giant trucks taking away the fruits of the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labour. And it is Fargoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, The WIPP and the General Wolfe that stay open and Islanders take time to gather after a busy spring, summer and fall. Personally I find this a difficult time of year. Perhaps it is the return to regular time from Day Light

Saving. I get up in the dark and it seems that until winter really arrives there are far too few days with lots of light and sunshine. Although I love the beauty and sounds of winter when it comes, and delight in the birds that return to our feeders, the ice boats that skim by on occasion, the colours of winter, I experience some anxiety none the less. Will we manage all that winter entails? Will we stay healthy? Will the services we might need be available? Will the ferry be operational? And I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help wondering if other Islanders at times have similar concerns.. With the many services offered through the WI Medical Clinic, the Frontenac County Paramedicine Wellness Clinics, and the possible broadening of that service, the Paramedic Service itself , WI Emergency Services & people visiting people, as well as the social opportunities offered by the churches and community organizations, the Community Centre Board, there is little need to worry. But enough of

that. As my dear grandson would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its all good, grandma.â&#x20AC;?

Audrey shed new light on value, beauty of family kitchen

��

house. We ate at it, neighbours played euchre on it at the Saturday night house parties, we five children sat at it at night with two coal oil lamps, one at each end. Mother wrote in her diaries there, Audrey and I worked our way through Eatonís catalogue, and my three brothers carved, played cards, whittled, and yes, fought like tigers. A flat pine door, which was never opened, led to the back room upstairs, whose only purpose it seemed to me was to offer me a smooth surface to draw on with stubs of chalk, and with orders that it had to be washed off when I was finished. Another flat wall held Motherís bake cupboard, an invention I thought was right up there with electric lights, and a real bathtub. This cupboard had a place for flour which seemed to be suspended from somewhere inside, and a door affair which could be rolled up like a wad of paper, vanishing into goodness knows where when she needed something out of the doors. Topping off the whole elegance of this cupboard was a white enamelled surface that could be pulled out to make the work surface larger. I thought that cupboard was one of the best pieces of furniture in the entire house! Like every other kitchen I ever went into in Northcote, there was a creton couch, close to the

stove. It served as a bed for my sister Audrey and me when we had company and had to give up ours. It was too narrow to sleep side-by-side, so we had to sleep end-to-end, which didnít please either of us one bit! It would have made sense for Father to have his noon nap on the couch, but he preferred an old rocking chair, that no one sat in but him. Wainscotting circled the kitchen, and the only other window looked out onto the side yard with a ledge wide enough where Mother could put her geranium pots, when she brought them in in the fall. Braided mats of every shape and size covered the kitchen floor in the winter. My sister Audrey was right. Again! The kitchen was the nicest room in that old log house. And certainly the room that got the most use. It was a place for family fun, a place to fill our bellies, a room where neighbours were greeted, and where the big granite tea pot was always on the back of the stove. There was a coziness there, even on the coldest night, and at a very young age, I knew that the warmth I felt in that old kitchen didnít come from the Findlay Oval alone.

My sister Audrey was the one I always went to if I needed the answer to a question. Mother once said she was “wiser beyond her years” whatever that meant. All I knew was that she could pretty well satisfy my curiosity on just about any subject. And so it was one day, after I had spent a glorious afternoon at my little friend Joyce Francisí house, that I asked Audrey why we never used our parlour, but everything we did, from eating, to playing games, to just sitting around doing our own thing, we were always in the kitchen? “First of all” she said, without giving it more than a few seconds thought, “the parlour is too small to hold all of us, there is no big table there, and there is only one horse-hair-filled settee and a couple twig chairs to sit on, and besides we close it up when winter comes because there is no way to get heat into the room”. She paused for only a few seconds, “and besides, our kitchen is the nicest room in the house...and certainly the warmest.” Well, that all made perfect sense to me, and I began to see our kitchen in a different light. Everything we needed, other than the beds we slept in, was in that big kitchen, and I looked around and for the first time, really saw the room for what it was. This was where our food was gotten ready for

our meals...Motherís bake table was beside the back door, close to a shelf Father had put up, covered securely with oilcloth where dishes were washed. There was no sink in the kitchen, but a small pump had been anchored to this shelf, which only rarely produced a dribble. This made us go out to the pump in the yard whenever we needed water, which seemed to me to merit a continuous trip with the granite pail, keeping the reservoir full, bath water on Saturday nights, wash water for Mondays. Two small pails were continually replenished for handwashing on the bench by the back door, and one on the oil-cloth covered shelf for drinking and cooking. On the back wall beside the summer kitchen door was the wood box, close to the Findlay Oval. Standing behind the cook stove was a three-sided tin affair which was there to supposedly keep the heat of the stove from setting the wall on fire, and burning the place to the ground. And there was the door leading to Mother and Fatherís small bedroom, a room which Mother once said was smaller than the broom closet she had in New York. The kitchen took a corner then, and there sat the big oak Barnett Ice Box, kitty-corner, which I thought gave the kitchen a nice touch. And then a long wall, broken up by a window looking out onto the grape arbour, held the old pine table, long enough to sit a dozen people. A bench, just as long as the table, sat under the window, and provided seating for the brothers at meal time. More chairs than we needed, sat around the rest of the table. This was the table that had more useful purposes than any other piece of furniture in the old log

Kingston author hopes her first book makes readers ‘laugh till they cry’ mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News - Sally Barnes has had quite the career. She has taken on numerous political roles including candidate, written for multiple Canadian newspapers and even served as press secretary to Premier Bill Davis. But three years ago, Barnes decided to take on a new challenge. “I was in Florida and I was bored and decided maybe it was time to start writing a novel,” explained Barnes, author of the new novel ‘Laughed Till They Cried’. “I had always talked about writing this book and never really sat down to do it, so I started.” For many, writing a novel would be a tough task, but for Barnes it was a labour of love. She says the characters and story flowed out of her to the point where she felt like she was living the story with them. “Writing really was the fun part for me. I had never written fiction before and I found myself sitting there and laughing at my own words. Sometimes I even cried because awful things were happening to my characters. It really

yet. Barnes then had to go through the publishing process, a process she jokes started when she was young and thin. “Everything moves at a glacial pace in publishing. I was almost to the point of self-publishing when I got a call from Boularderie Island Press in Cape Breton. My editor had urged them to publish the book and luckily they agreed.” The book launched a few weeks ago and Barnes had a release party to celebrate. She certainly doesn’t expect to get rich from the book, but she was overwhelmed by the support she received at the launch. “I’ve sold about 300 copies so far and we actually sold 170 the first night of the launch here in Kingston. I was so happy to see the turnout and support. A lot of people bought copies as Sally Barnes is the author of ‘Laughed Till They Cried’. Christmas presents and for friends.” Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

was like living it myself.” The novel focuses on the lives of three post-war women trying to find their path. They move to Kingston and get involved in politics and become part of a close-knit group of 12 women who call themselves ‘The Cell Sisters’. The story chronicles their relationships and how they each progress as they age. The story is inspired by Barnes’s own group of cell sisters and the journeys they have taken over the years. “I had 70 years of experience helping me with this book and I didn’t have to do much research,” she says. “I used my own life experiences to inform the characters. I fictionalized the characters but some of them are based on people I know or on myself and some of the life experiences I’ve had.” Letting go of the story when it was completed was the hard part for Barnes. She remembers the day she reluctantly finished the novel. “I remember finishing and going into the other room to tell my husband. He was so excited and wanted to break out the wine to celebrate, but I felt so sad. It was over.” But the journey wasn’t over just

Jenica Rayne celebrates release of new album ‘Hit the Ground Running’ By Mandy Marciniak

News – Known for her lyrical ballads and soulful songs, local singer and songwriter Jenica Rayne hopes that her new album isn’t too much of a departure for her fans. “The album is different and you can’t really put it into a box or category,” explained Rayne. “Some people say it is alt-country, but it’s not. It’s really eclectic and I think it is a collection of material that is really thought provoking.” The album, entitled Hit the Ground Running, launched on Oct. 26 at BluMartini. It took almost a year to create and Rayne collaborated with many musicians she has worked with in the past to get

the perfect mix of material. “I went to a studio in Kingston and recorded some tracks and then I took them to Vancouver, played over them with other friends and then brought them back and did it all again,” explained Rayne. “The end result is a nice mix of sounds. I really enjoyed all of the collaboration and we have some trumpets and tenor saxophones on the record that I love.” Rayne comes from a family of musicians, and while she always played and thought of herself as a musician, she decided to pursue other careers for a number of years. She always came back to music, however, and after making her first album in 1999 she realized that to become a professional musician she would require some training.

Jenica Rayne released her new album ‘Hit the Ground Running’ on Oct. 26. “I realized I didn’t have the language to communicate with other musicians,” she said. “I wrote all of the music, but I didn’t really know what I was doing and I certainly couldn’t articulate it. That is what made me pursue an education in music and it has been fun ever since.” Rayne now teaches music at the Kingston School of Music and Winston Churchill Public School, as well as performing gigs and making albums in her down time. She loves creating new music and taking advantage of the quiet times in her life that allow her to do that. “I don’t have a lot of downtime so I really appreciate the moments when I can just sit down with my guitar and dig deep inside myself and create,” added Rayne. “I love the studio too and working with such fantastic musicians.” Response to the new album has been positive

so far and Rayne is now in the process of choosing a single for the radio. She has had lots of suggestions, but that hasn’t helped her narrow it down just yet. “I’ve had some feedback from people about which one to choose, but everyone seems to have a different favourite.” Rayne hopes that people give the album a chance, and they hear the overall message of the album. “The whole message of the album is to not wait for life to happen, make it happen because it won’t happen if you just sit around and wait for it. You have to make your own path and follow your own dreams.” Hit the Ground Running is now available on iTunes and in local record stores.

How to improve your home’s curb appeal ing in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult do-it-yourself project. * Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that lowhanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home. * Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs

and leaves out of the gutters. * Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible. * Make sure all plants, including flowers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and flowers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the impression that you didn’t pay much attention to your property. Make sure all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can replant new flowers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose low-maintenance varieties that appeal to buyers who want good vibrant plants but might not want to put in much work into the garden. When selling a home, homeowners can employ a number of tactics to improve their home’s curb appeal.

Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around. A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget. * Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, result-

What to look for in an investment property Historically, the appreciation rate for real estate is very strong. Even when the housing market declines, long-term investors in real estate can rest easy knowing that property values tend to rebound rather quickly, rewarding patient investors in the process. Looking at real estate as a long-term investment is just one way approach a potential investment property. The following are a few additional considerations prospective investors should contemplate before buying an investment property. Location

Many people are familiar with the real estate industry axiom, “location, location, location!” When buying an investment property, location is everything. A great location should outweigh your own personal feelings about the home, especially if you do not intend to live at the property. You will likely define a great location for an investment property differently than you would a property you intend to live in, so don’t let your own desires in a home cloud your judgement when choosing an investment property. Properties in safe neighborhoods that boast good schools and offer easy access to public transportation tend to make great investment properties.

Décor

Décor is another thing to consider when looking for an investment property. If you don’t plan to reside in the property, your opinion of the décor should not carry much weight. When viewing a property, try to imagine how much it might appeal to prospective tenants. Quirky properties typically do not appeal to as many prospective tenants as prop-

$224,900

888 Cottonwood • Terrific East End townhome w 3 beds & 1.5 $535,900 Avenue baths

Condition

The condition of the property also must be considered before buying an investment property. Some investors want a fixer-upper, while others prefer turnkey properties that won’t require any elbow grease. The former type of property likely won’t cost as much as a fully renovated property, but those cost savings might be lost when it’s time to renovate. Find a property that’s in the type of condition you’re comfortable with. If you decide to go with a fixerupper, learn the cost of your potential projects before submitting an offer.

Cost

Real estate makes a great investment, but don’t go overboard when buying an investment property. Before making an offer on a property, research rents in the area and the cost of insurance in that particular neighborhood. You want a property that essentially pays for itself, so make sure the rent you’re likely to collect is enough to cover your monthly costs, including the mortgage on the property, insurance and the costs associated with managing and maintaining the property. Real estate investors often reap great rewards when selling their properties. But it’s still important for potential investors to consider a host of factors before investing in a property.

erties whose décor are similar to other homes in the area. Though you might find a tenant who prefers properties with unique interiors, a property that appeals to as many prospective tenants as possible often makes for a better investment and a lot less stress when the time comes to find tenants.

Factors to consider before selling your home hood to get an idea of how much you can expect to get if you sold your home in the current market. It might be worth it to sell now, or it might pay off to be patient and wait until the market rebounds. • Kids: Selling your home will impact your family just like it will impact your bottom line. Unless you plan to move down the street or to another home in your community, selling may mean you and your family no longer see your friends and neighbors. That can be a difficult adjustment, especially for school-aged kids who will have to adjust to a new school. The potentially negative impact that selling can have on your children may not be worth the financial benefits of selling, so the decision of whether or not to sell should not be taken lightly by homeowners who also happen to be parents. • Quality of life: It can be difficult to turn down an opportunity to make a lot of money on your real estate investment. But if you plan to sell and move further away from your office and your friends and family, the financial windfall you earn when selling your home may not be worth the sacrifices you have to make in order to earn that money. Studies have shown that longer commutes can elevate stress levels, and even the most affordable property may not be worth moving to if you won’t be able to enjoy the home with your friends and family. When deciding whether or not to sell their homes, many homeowners make the decision a strictly financial one. But there is more than money to consider when deciding if now is the right time to sell your home.

Selling a home is no small undertaking. It often pays to be patient when putting a property up for sale, but waiting for an acceptable offer can be stressful, especially for those homeowners who have already found their next homes. Because so much tends to be riding on the decision of whether or not to sell a home, homeowners would be wise to consider the following factors before putting that “For Sale” sign in their front yards. • Motivation: Many homeowners sell their homes because their families are growing and they have outgrown their current residences. Others may recognize a seller’s real estate market and want to strike while the iron is hot, while still others might be moving for a new job. The factors that motivate homeowners to sell their homes vary with each individual case, but prospective sellers should keep in mind that moving can be expensive, and finding a new home may not be so easy, nor is the grass necessarily greener on the other side. When deciding if now is the best time to sell your home, make sure you will be selling for the right reason. That can make the often trying process of selling a home a lot easier to handle. • Market: The local real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to sell your home. A home is a significant investment, and you want to earn as substantial a return on that investment as possible. Selling when the market is struggling will make your investment less valuable.

How to find the right real estate lawyer

One of the reasons to hire a real estate attorney is to make use of their experience. Hurdles have a tendency to spring up during complicated real estate transactions. Men and women involving themselves in development deals or buying rental properties likely won’t see potential red flags as clearly as a veteran real estate attorney will. When

Plan of action

When interviewing prospective attorneys, don’t assume each one knows the best way to approach your particular case. Provide the details of your transaction and then ask each attorney to explain how they would approach the case. A veteran real estate attorney should be able to provide a detailed account of how he plans to represent you, including what needs to be done to get the transaction off the ground, any potential hurdles that might need to be cleared and how to clear those should they arise. Avoid attorneys who give general or ambiguous answers, as such answers may be poor attempts by the lawyer to mask his or her inexperience with transactions such as yours. Some attorneys may request time to develop a plan of action, and you should not immediately remove them from consideration, especially if they ultimately answer the question in thoughtful detail.

Billing

Attorneys are expensive, so it’s best to discuss the billing process before

hiring someone to represent you. Attorneys tend to bill by the hour, but their rates may be negotiable depending on the service they’re providing. Those who will be overseeing your real estate transaction and continuously representing you will likely bill by the hour, but if you’re hiring a real estate attorney to examine a potential agreement or draft a contract then you can probably negotiate a flat fee for those services. But be sure to discuss billing before hiring an attorney. Real estate transactions are rarely inexpensive, so you don’t want to

SALES REPRESENTATIVE CANADIAN RESIDENTIAL APPRAISER

be blindsided down the road when your legal bills come due. Representation

When interviewing an attorney, many people assume the attorney they initially interviewed will be the person who represents them throughout the transaction. However, the day-to-day work on your case may be assigned to a junior associate or even someone who isn’t licensed to practice law, such as a paralegal or a current law school student who is interning with

the firm. These people might be perfectly capable of handling your transaction, but you should meet them before hiring the firm to represent you. A good rapport with the person who will be working on your case can ease the stress associated with complex real estate transactions. Real estate attorneys can help men and women navigate the sometimes turbulent waters of real estate transactions, and it helps to consider a host of factors before hiring a firm to represent you. R0012997415_1113

Experience

interviewing a real estate attorney, ask how long he has been working as a real estate lawyer and how long he has been practicing in your particular state and city. Zoning laws and other restrictions vary from state to state and city to city, so look for a lawyer who has considerable experience in your state and city or the state and city where the transaction is taking place.

R0012999922

Buying or selling real estate is rarely free of complications. Unforeseen issues often arise during real estate transactions, and in such instances a real estate attorney can prove invaluable. While buyers, sellers or veteran real estate investors might be able to handle minor or routine issues on their own or with the help of their realtor, more complex matters are best left in the hands of a real estate attorney. One of the benefits to hiring a real estate attorney when negotiating a complex or potentially complex real estate transaction is the expertise that lawyers can bring to the table. Realtors may have vast experience buying and selling homes, and many are adept at negotiating as well. But realtors are not licensed to practice law, and even the savviest realtor would admit that offering legal advice is not his or her forte. Men and women involved in complex or potentially complex real estate transactions would be wise to hire a real estate attorney, and the following are a few things to consider before hiring someone to represent you.

Cutting the costs of home ownership When borrowing money to buy a home, borrowers need to have homeowner’s insurance. It’s easy to forget these policies and simply pay the premium each month. But homeowners looking to save money should periodically reexamine their policies and compare these existing policies to those they might be able to get from other providers. Comparison shopping can save homeowners substantial amounts of money. Homeowners willing to purchase their homeowners and auto insurance policies from the same provider also can save a considerable amount of money, sometimes as much as 15 percent depending on the provider. • Make safety upgrades. Another way to cut the cost of home ownership is to upgrade your home’s safety features. Many insurance companies offer discounts to homeowners who install alarm systems, sprinklers or storm shutters in their homes. But homeowners should confirm their eligibility for such discounts before making any upgrades, as policies may differ depending on the provider. • Purchase eco-friendly appliances for your home. The appliances in your home at the time of purchase will inevitably wear down, and replacing such items can be expensive. But replacing older appliances with more eco-friendly alternatives can

save you money on your monthly utility bills, as more and more appliances are now made with energy savings in mind. Cutting your energy

Owning a home is a dream for many people. But even the most affordable homes can be a considerable expense, which is why many homeowners are on constant lookout for ways to cut the costs of home ownership. Men and women who have owned their homes for years may already know of various ways they can save money each month. But first-time homeowners may not be so savvy, which can leave them scrambling for ways to save each month. Fortunately, homeowners can reduce the cost of owning their homes in a variety of ways. • Refinance your mortgage. The average homeowner would point to his or her mortgage payment as his or her biggest monthly expense. First-time homeowners may assume they have no leeway with regard to lowering that payment, but that’s not necessarily true. Interest rates fluctuate every day, and homeowners might be able to take advantage of that fluctuation by refinancing their mortgages to earn lower interest rates. Depending on the amount of the loan, a homeowner might be able to save hundreds of dollars per month and tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan after refinancing his or her mortgage. Research current interest rates to determine if refinancing is in your best interest. • Reexamine your insurance policy.
