Optimism abounds as Kingston’s new council gets down to work By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – The rookies and veterans on Kingston’s new council are giving the mayor’s inauguration speech two thumbs up. Councillors say first-term mayor Bryan Paterson touched on all the right themes in his seven-page speech Dec. 2 in which he promised to lead a “smart” council that will work harder to attract economic investment, create more affordable housing, jobs for youth, cleanup Brownfields and get along better as a group. “I’ve listened to a number of inaugural speeches with mayors that I’ve served under and I have to be quite honest in that this one hit all the points of interest to the community,” said veteran councillor Kevin George, now serving his fourth term since amalgamation. Coun. George says the mayor’s wide-ranging promises and topics should come as no surprise to councillors since Paterson sought their opinions and priorities before writing it. “It’s do-able. This council has a vision. Everyone had their input. More will come in the strategic planning process.” Rookie councillor Adam Candon says he appreciated the mayor’s attempt to reach out to both sides of the political spectrum. “I thought it was quite remarkable. I think he covered all the bases. We can work as a team regardless of what end of the spectrum you’re on.” Richard Allen, rural Kingston’s new councillor, was enthusiastic to hear the mayor’s pledge to bring Kingston together as one city, a challenge faced by all councils since the old city and townships amalgamated 16 years ago. “What really appealed to me is when Bryan (Paterson) talked about being a whole city. For CounMayor Bryan Paterson (centre) and councillors Richard Allen and Laura Turner take a selfie as tryside we often feel a little left out of the conversation they prepare for the inaugural meeting of Kingston City Council on Dec. 2. Photo/Rob Mooy because we have different needs and a different ap-

proach to our lifestyle.” First-time councillor for Meadowbrook-Strathcona, Jeff McLaren, says the mayor’s theme of creating a smart city that embraces all forms of sustainability, from active transportation to neighbourhood revitalization, is laudable. “I think he did an awesome speech. The one I was most interested in was liveability. In that sense it was bang on.” He also praised the mayor’s pledge to end the era of political bickering by adopting a teamwork approach to problem solving. “I believe he’s right. That would be a very easy thing to do compared to the last council, I believe.” Councillors say they agree with the mayor’s vision of job creation strategy and support for the city’s youth, noting this is one of the youngest councils to be elected in Kingston’s history. “There’s a generational shift to a younger council,” observed Coun. McLaren. Coun. George is enthusiastic to work with the newlook council, most of whom have never held elected office before. “I have a good feeling about this council. They’re young. They’re very anxious to get going. They have lots of energy. I don’t they’ll be shy about asking for help.” Of the mayor’s vision, George added: “If we stay the course and complete what his vision is I think everyone should be very proud of this council.” This council will have four years to make its mark in the city. Although their first working meeting is Dec. 16, councillors were scheduled to meet briefly Dec. 4 to appoint themselves to the various municipal boards and committees such as planning, arts recreation culture, environment infrastructure transportation, KEDCO and police services board, where most of the policy work is done.

Mayor Paterson’s inauguration speech promises to build ‘smart’ city By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage - Kingston’s new mayor laid out his bold agenda for the next four years by promoting a new form of open, inclusive and “smart” government. In his 15 minute inauguration speech, Bryan Paterson reached out to councillors and the community to work together to promote economic development and job creation. “We will turn our traditional identity as a public sector town on its head – by leveraging our strong public sector to grow private sector enterprises.” Paterson spoke about the need to “empower” KEDCO, the city’s economic development agency, to pursue and attract outside companies to Kingston by targeting key industries such as “health care, defence, information and communication technologies, agri-food and sustainable emerging technologies.” Paterson’s 7-page speech, delivered with the help of a TelePrompter to a packed council chamber, marked his formal introduction to the community. It was read moments after the mayor and his 12 fellow council members were officially sworn into office Dec. 2. The newly-elected councillors took their seats around the horseshoe in a formal procession led by the skirl of a bagpipe and the Town Crier. Only in-

vited family members, city managers, other dignitaries and media were allowed into the packed chamber, while other spectators gathered in Memorial Hall to watch the proceedings on a large TV screen. Ontario Superior Court Justice Brian Abrams administered the Oath of Allegiance and Declaration of Office to each council member. The group posed for pictures before Paterson began his speech. The city’s 96th mayor talked about important investments in a handful of municipal projects that are currently underway such as more affordable housing, revitalizing Rideau Heights and redeveloping the North Block, but steered clear of mentioning other controversial issues like the Wellington Street extension, airport expansion and the third bridge crossing. He vowed to build on community diversity and to improve rural-urban relations. “And 16 years after amalgamation, we will act as one city more now than ever before.” Paterson acknowledged that civic politicians will always have their differences, but he promised a new level of respect and teamwork during the council meetings to create “independent thinking, conviction and decision making.” He added: “As a smart city we will set the example of a new brand of politics in this Chamber – an atmosphere

that encourages intelligent and reasoned debate, where we each come with an open mind and work to make the best possible decision in every case.” Paterson’s address also focused on the importance of helping the city’s youth. He pledged “aggressive” action to end youth homelessness and creating a made-in-Kingston youth employment strategy. And, he referenced the youth movement that has made its way into local governance. Seven of the 13 council members are newcomers to the political scene and many of them, including the mayor, are in their 30s. “As one of the youngest Councils to ever lead this city, we will demonstrate both a focus and determination to invest in our city’s young people.” Following the mayor’s speech, which concluded with a standing ovation, the mayor released a more specific action plan for his first 100 days in office. His ambitious agenda includes: -working with city staff to minimize the 2015 property tax increase without compromising front-line services, -supporting the launch of KEDCO’s new four-year strategic plan Mayor Brian Paterson with benchmarks and target sectors, -holding a local economic summit to foster innovation and entrepreneur-working on youth employment ship, and waterfront investment strategies -meeting with 100 community -exploring funding opportunities groups in 100 days to explore partner- from senior governments. ships, The mayor also promised to show

the province, nation and the world what a 21st century city can be. “And as long as I am mayor I will work to promote Kingston with every fibre of my being.”

Kingston Heritage - Recently-widened John Counter Boulevard is poised to get another large business park. Fort Henry Investments Inc., a development company owned by Doug Springer, has unveiled plans to construct nine small-scale office buildings with about 11,000 square metres of total floor space - along with a gas station, convenience store and car wash – located right across the street from the city’s bus terminal. “It diversifies the form of office-based employment uses,� according to a study prepared for the developer by FOTENN Planning & Urban Design. The proposed business park would be built on a rectangular-shaped vacant lot covering nine hectares on the southeast corner of John Counter Blvd. and Leroy Grant Drive. The site at 1122 John Counter Boulevard is currently zoned for industrial uses, but the developer wants to rezone the land to allow commercial/retail uses as well. “The buildings will be designed to be visually appealing and fit in with the diverse character of existing buildings along John Counter Boulevard,� the study added. FOTENN planners say the large-scale development is partially fueled by the widening of Counter Blvd. to four lanes in 2013 because it “also encourages development of this large employment area without concern of traffic issues.� Vehicle access to the business park will be

along 410 metres of right in, right out frontage along John Counter Blvd. plus along 220 metres of frontage on Leroy Grant Drive. Rigney Street will also be extended southward into the site. “Buildings are organized around green space and parking,� according to the consultant. It’s unclear if residents of the adjacent Kingscourt neighbourhood to the south will raise any objections, but the developer says the commercial buildings will be setback further away from the homes and there will be no vehicle access through the residential area. About 400 surface parking spaces will also be provided in the business park. “Surface parking will be included adjacent to each building and in a large surface lot along the rear of the property,� the consultant explained. The public had their first chance to provide comments on the business park during a meeting of the planning committee Dec. 4. Politicians and planners will weigh in on the development at a future meeting. Coun. Adam Candon says he’s excited with the proposal, but wants more details. “If it promotes jobs in the city then it’s certainly something I’d be willing to discuss.� If the park moves ahead it must have the correct zoning in place up front so the city doesn’t have to “backtrack� on planning decisions when businesses come to town, he added. The proposed development is about the same size and just a block away from the Alcan Business Park, which is home to offices such as Intercall and Revenue Canada.

Blue Jays help unveil the new Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area location By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – It certainly was a grand slam kind of day for the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area; on Dec. 2, the club celebrated the grand opening of their new 55,000 square-foot west end facility, an opening that was made possible by a very generous grant from the Toronto Blue Jays. “When I first came here I thought the building was huge, but seeing all of these kids in here now I see that it is perfect,” said vice president of the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area, Peter Kingston. “None of this would be possible without the Toronto Blue Jays and we want to thank them for their continued support.” The Jays Care Foundation made a $150,000 investment in the new west end facility and also helped in the construction of a Field of Dreams sports area at the new club. The money has helped the Boys and Girls Club transform the space, formerly a Premier Fitness centre, and make it their own. “We have a strong core staff and they are always willing to do more,” said Kingston. “They have taken the space and

made it a caring, creative and fun environment for over 200 registered children and youth each day.” While the Boys and Girls Club has a main facility downtown on Bagot Street, a new location in the west end of the city had been in the works for nearly 12 years. Research done by the United Way and the City of Kingston showed a need for a youth facility, but securing an appropriate space was always challenging. “It took a lot of work and negotiating, but a long-term lease of this facility was secured and for that we are grateful,” said Kingston. “The alternative to the Boys and Girls Club being here today could have been filling in the pool and demolishing the infrastructure that was already here and that would have been a shame.” The new west end hub for the club features a full-size gymnasium, 25-metre swimming pool with a slide, a dance studio, a boxing ring, an arts and crafts studio, a technology lab, a games room and more. The new space will also house numerous senior and adult programs. At the grand opening the club was buzzing with excitement and noise and that buzz increased as Toronto Blue Jays outfielder, Dalton Pompey, took the stage

to speak to the nearly 200 kids in attendance. Pompey explained that he also grew up in Ontario and encouraged the kids to follow their dreams. “I had a dream to one day play for the Blue Jays. I always loved baseball and I worked really hard and this past year I got that opportunity,” said Pompey. “It is extremely important to keep your dreams alive. They are achievable and facilities like this help with those dreams.” The Jays Care Foundation has invested more than $10.8 million towards community and charitable groups and programs throughout Canada. As the charitable arm of Canada’s only MLB team they have made a commitment to invest in Canadian youth across the country, something new mayor of Kingston Bryan Paterson agrees should be a high priority. “One of the things that we are going to be focusing on over the next four years is investing in our youth. When you look at a facility like this, this is all about investing in our youth. They are the future.” The Boys and Girls Club west end location is at 1300 Bath Road.

Food Bank releases Christmas CD set to help meet ever-increasing demand By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hprat-campbell@perfprint.ca

News - The level of need in Kingston for the Partners in Mission Food Bank has been on a steady increase since 2008. Sadly, it’s looking like 2014 will be no exception to this trend. “We’re pretty much going to be a 6.5 per cent increase by the end of this year over last year,” explains executive director Sandy Singers. “Since the fall of 2008, every year has been a substantial increase, so we’re between a 25 and 30 per cent increase since [that time]. The fear is how do you sustain that.” So far, the Food Bank has been able to meet the demand without limiting the amount of food clients receive thanks to the generosity of the local community. “We hope that will continue, but that really depends on what the community does to support us,” says Singers, noting that the organization receives no funding from the government or large charitable foundations like the United Way. “Our

survival really depends on the generosity of the community.” In past years, the Food Bank has released Christmas CDs featuring local artists as a way of raising money for the organization – Hungry for Christmas in 2010, and A Soul Survivors Christmas in 2013. This year, they are selling a limited edition set of both CDs for $10. Hungry for Christmas features people like Emily Fennell, Spencer Evans, Sarah Harmer and Bill Hutchins singing holiday songs; A Soul Survivors Christmas features the popular local band playing classic Christmas tunes. “It’s just another way of bringing in some money,” Singers says. “We have made our money from these two projects already, but we have extra stock. This is the only time of year we can do it – you can’t sell Christmas CDs in July.” The Christmas season – when the spirit of giving tends to be at its strongest – is also a vitally important time of year for the Partners in Mission Food Bank. “It’s so important that we are successful now

to the end of the year, because we know JanuaryFebruary-March are going to be dead months and it’s really hard to stimulate donations in those months,” explains Singers. He adds that he’s always very happy to see people in the community step up to help to keep the Food Bank afloat and its clients fed. “We’ve done incredibly well year after year. We are extremely grateful that people understand

what it is we’re doing here.” You can purchase Hungry for Christmas and A Soul Survivors Christmas at Renaissance Music, Cooke’s Fine Foods, Pan Chancho Bakery and Café, Bread and Butter Bakery and the Partners in Mission Food Bank, located at 140 Hickson Ave. For more information about the Food Bank and to learn how you can help, visit www.kingstonfoodbank.net.

Editorial The gift-giving dilemma

Well, believe it or not December is almost half over and that means Christmas is almost here. I hope many of you have started or maybe even finished your Christmas shopping, although I am guessing the latter is unlikely. I am a big believer in finishing Christmas shopping as quickly as possible and in recent years doing as much of it as I can online, but this year has been a bit of a struggle. Last year was easy, Korey and I went on our honeymoon during the first week of December and did all of our Christmas shopping in Paris. Our gifts were original and exciting and we bought things that definitely could not be found in Canada. Perhaps that is what is making this year so much harder. This year I am struggling to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list, especially my parents. The whole process makes me nostalgic for my childhood and how Christmas was. When you are a kid, Christmas is all about you – the

presents are mainly for you and everyone is excited to see what you get from Santa. The anticipation of going down to the tree on Christmas morning is almost overwhelming and you are guaranteed to get something you really want because you have been asking for it for months. As an adult, Christmas is much less exciting. The days leading up to the big day are filled with stressful trips to the mall, tough decisions about what to get everyone and in the end, the dread of them opening it and seeing the disappointment on their face. I never want to see that face. Typically, I pride myself on my ability to find thoughtful gifts for everyone in my family. Honestly, I am normally more excited to give them their gifts than I am to receive mine because I know that their reaction is going to be great. I’m not a fan of giving gift cards or generic gift baskets and I can typically avoid even thinking about these options, but this year they seem so appealing. I even had trouble thinking about what I wanted this year so I guess I can’t be upset that my parents gave me ridiculous joking responses like ‘my two front teeth’ when I turned the question to them. Personally, I find dads are the

Kanata Kourier-Standard

In Our Opinion

hardest people to shop for. They usually buy everything for themselves especially when it comes to tools or in the case of my father, fishing tackle. Dads are also typically very frugal. They use things until they can’t be used anymore and can’t be repaired anymore. As an example, I bought my dad a pair of moccasins a few years ago and he loved them. He wears them all around the house and outside when he does yard work. Last year I noticed they had a hole and I bought him a new pair for Christmas and they are still in the box unworn. He refuses to wear them until the others disintegrate. So frustrating. Moms are frustrating too, but you can usually get away with buying them a nice ornament or something pretty and they will appreciate it, although I feel that I have exhausted those options in the past few years. This brings me to my predicament – what do you buy the people that have everything they want? I am certainly open to suggestions and as the days ‘til Christmas become fewer and fewer, I panic more and more. I know it is just part of Christmas, but I often wonder where is the fun in all this stress? Maybe I’ll just go back to Paris‌

8 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, December 11, 2014

Reclaiming our city from vandals Editorial - We were shocked and saddened to learn that Kingston’s only mosque and Islamic centre was the target of vandals on the evening of Nov. 22. Several windows were smashed with beer and liquor bottles, and a Star of David was drawn outside in the snow. The timing of the offenses certainly suggests that the perpetrators were acting out of a perverted sense of retribution, with the events in the nation’s capital occurring only a few short weeks before. Indeed, incidents of this kind are up across the country, with the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) reporting that four mosques were vandalized in the province of Quebec, and another in Cold Lake, Alberta. Harassment of municipal candidates in Toronto was also reported, and threats were made to the BC Muslim association. We stand with the NCCM, who have called for the police to treat this heinous act as a hate crime, and wish to see the perpetrators brought to justice under the fullest extent of the law. There should be absolutely no tolerance for this kind of behaviour in our city. The President of the Islamic Society of Kingston, Mohammed Saleed, recently thanked individuals and the community on the society’s webpage (http://www.kingstonmuslims.net). He recognized various faith-based groups, Kingston Police, and elected representatives for their continued support, and made reference to multiple individual Kingstonians who came forward to offer support to repair the windows, and to assist in other ways. We hope that it is these better angels of our nature who will continue to set the tone and tenor of our relationship with Muslim residents in what we know to be the pluralistic and inclusive town of Kingston, Ontario.

Re: Two Gerretsens reflect on their time as Mayor of Kingston I read with bemused interest the remarks by outgoing Kingston Mayor Mark Gerretsen reflecting on his time in office. Mr. Gerretsen must not have been paying close attention during his years on Council. I was completely flabbergasted when I realized what Mr. Gerretsen thinks about those who run for municipal office. Your reporter quotes Mr. Gerretsen: “The only people who end up running for city council are people who are independently wealthy or who are retired, neither of which represent the average person that is out working when their kids are in school.â€? (emphasis added) This displays a tendency common among politicians, Mr. Gerretsen, apparently, included: Say what you think will impress or gain support with no regard to the facts. One can only hope that Mr. Gerretsen’s political perceptions sharpen up in the race for the Liberal nomination. Why? Well, anyone with a nodding acquaintance with city politics hereabouts knows that many of the 2014 candidates, elected and defeated, fit neither of Mr. Gerretsen’s curious categories. The new CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: Mayor Mr. intends to keep SharonPaterson Russell - 613-688-1483 Barr - 613-623-6571 working Adrienne as a college teacher and has

a young family. I attended an all-candidates in the Kingstown district. Two energetic young men, neither of whom seemed to be independently wealthy, were in the running. The Kingstown winner, Rob Hutchison, works full time for a co-op and is not a rich man. Mary Rita Holland, who ran provincially twice before winning municipally, is neither retired nor wealthy. I can’t believe that Rob Matheson, who ran for mayor in 2010 and was an unsuccessful council candidate this time around, is independently wealthy. He has two children in high school and drives a cab, so he is hardly retired. Successful candidate Lisa Osanic also has kids in school and holds down a job aside from her council work. I could go on. The point is that our outgoing mayor has displayed a woeful ignorance of the local political landscape. Does Mr. Gerretsen’s ignorance of the reality of the local political landscape raise serious questions about his ability to represent Kingston federally?

Tory omnibus bill is bad for farmers By Aric McBay

Editorial - On Nov. 24, Parliament passed Bill C-18, the uninformatively named “Agricultural Growth Act.” Typical of the Conservative modus operandi, the government has used its majority in the House of Commons to push through sweeping changes to Canadian law in the form of an omnibus bill, allowing them to quash the debate that multiple bills would allow. The omnibus bill is not completely bad, but it has key provisions that are bad for farmers and good for the corporations that profit off them. Which is why it has been roundly condemned by farmer organizations like the National Farmers Union (NFU). The “Agricultural Growth Act” makes changes to nine different pre-existing pieces of legislation, some of which were not friendly to farmers in the first place. The Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, brought into law by the Mulroney government nearly 25 years ago, is a perfect example. The name of the law suggests something warm and fuzzy: protecting rights. But this is deceptive; the Plant Breeders’ Rights Act actually stripped rights away from farmers, while granting whole new prerogatives—like the ability to patent seed—to private corporations like Monsanto. For most of history farmers have bred and saved their own seed, making adjustments to gradually increase yield and disease resistance, and they have shared that seed with others. Farmers could save and plant their seed freely. In the 20th century, Canada also invested in publiclyfunded seed breeding for public benefit. But, as the National Farmers Union argues, Bill C-18 is part of a broader program that puts seed-breeding, and the benefits of that research, into the hands of private corporations. In the omnibus bill, farmers’ right to save seed is explicitly reduced to a “privilege”—one that can easily be removed in the future. At the crux of the NFU’s opposition to Bill C-18 is an international convention called UPOV (from the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants). Canada currently uses the 1978 version of the UPOV convention, which recognizes a farmer’s right to save and reuse seed from their own harvest. But with

Bill C-18, Canada will use a different version of that convention (UPOV ‘91), which requires that farmers get permission to save the seed they’ve grown themselves. “UPOV ’91 is one of the most farmer-unfriendly mechanisms we have ever seen,” warns Jan Slomp, NFU President. The deeper implications of all this may not be apparent to non-farmers, but the implications are very real and very troubling. Bill C-18 puts a huge amount of power in the hands of a few multinational corporations, like Monsanto, and strips away most of the remaining protections that farmers have. These changes also make farmers more vulnerable to predatory litigation by seed companies. You may have heard the case of Percy Schmeiser, the Saskatchewan farmer who was sued by Monsanto in 1998. They alleged they had found their own patented canola growing on his land. Schmeiser argued that the canola had blown there (since tiny canola seeds and pollen are easily blown long distances). Though Schmeiser later won the Gandhi Award for his efforts to protect farmer rights to save seed, he also accumulated legal bills of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Schmeiser became an example for both sides. He was acclaimed for his defense of seed saving, but surely other farmers have quietly paid settlements to Monsanto to avoid being dragged into a protracted legal battle. Yet another problem with Bill C-18, explains NFU Vice President Ann Slater, is that it “gives seed companies the possibility to create monopolies to control future breeding by others through the Act’s ‘essentially derived’ clause, which gives breeders full control of any new varieties that exhibit characteristics of a company’s already-protected variety.” In other words, a farmer who breeds their own seed with a quality similar to a patented variety may find that they end up paying royalties, just because companies like Monsanto have the resources for legal battles. A farmer’s right to save seed goes back 10,000 years. Let’s not allow the Conservative government to destroy it so a few big companies can increase their profits and control.

Family and Children’s Services launches 120th annual Christmas tree of hope campaign mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – For kids, Christmas just isn’t Christmas without toys, but for many families buying toys can be a challenge financially. Since 1894, Family and Children’s Services in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington have seen this challenge and asked the community to help and this year is no different. “This is one of the oldest Christmas toy drives and campaigns in Eastern Ontario,� said Steven Woodman, executive director for Family and Children’s Services at the Tree of Hope campaign launch on Dec. 3. “We are officially launching the campaign today and asking those who can to help out.� Last year, the agency helped over 900 children receive gifts. This year the campaign already has 600 presents lined up and matched with children, but Woodman knows that they will need more. “We still need toys and in particular we need toys for teens,� he added. “We also

need gifts that will give all year long and that is where our Enrichment Fund comes in. We want to help families all year round too.� Donors can choose whether they would like their money to go towards the Tree of Hope toy drive or the Enrichment fund when they donate. The Enrichment Fund helps fund programs year round and helps many kids go to summer camp too. In addition to this, the agency is also looking for donations of cribs and mattresses this holiday season. “Any kindness and help you can give is greatly appreciated,� said Woodmand. “A lot of families that we assist have trouble obtaining the basic necessities for their children so we help in whatever way we can.� This year’s Tree of Hope campaign is being co-chaired by Devon Cobb, a young girl who has helped collect toys for the agency with the help of her father Sterling, for the past seven years. Cobb was too shy to speak at the kick-off, but Woodman praised her commitment to the campaign.

“Devon is truly amazing. Some people say that the spirit of Christmas is dead and those people have never met Devon,� added Woodman. “Her actions certainly speak louder than her words.� Also chairing the campaign this year is someone every kid knows and loves – Santa. The jolly gift giver brought some of his magic to the event kick-off and even posed for selfies afterwards, including one with new Mayor Bryan Paterson.

“Santa is a bit of a difficult act to follow,� joked Paterson. “We were talking last night about the priorities for the next four years and one of them is going to be looking to invest in youth and invest in young people and that is really what this campaign is all about. We hope we can make this the best year ever for this campaign.� For more information about the Tree of Hope campaign visit www.facsfla.ca/treeofhope

mayors were clean shaven, only a handful had moustaches, and no one had a beard. That puts the new mayor in a hairy league all his own. “I’m setting the 21st century standard,” he said. Paterson’s moustache and goatee combo may fit into the Van Dyke description, a style of beard that was popular in Europe in the 17th century. However, the facial hair style has been popularized over the years by well-known figures such as actors Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, General Custer, Vladimir Lenin and Colonel Sanders. The slightly balding mayor, who chuckled when informed that his facial hair may be unique among Kingston’s 20th and 21st century civic leaders, says he may even shave it off one day. “I’m sure someone in the next four rd years will cook up a charity event to shave it off. But I’ll only do it for a really good cause,” he offered. As for the rest of the men on council, they are all are clean shaven.

Kingston Heritage - Bryan Paterson isn’t the youngest mayor in Kingston’s history, nor the oldest, but he could be the hairiest mayor to take office in over a century. Paterson, who was sworn into office Dec. 2, sports a neatly trimmed moustache and goatee. It’s a look that’s been unchanged since he was first elected as councillor for Trillium district in 2010, and now, as mayor from 2014 to 2018. “The reason I do it is because I’d look like a 14 year old without facial hair,” the 37 year old mayor joked. City Hall is filled with photographs and portraits of former mayors dating back to the mid 1800’s. The city recently hosted guided public tours during ‘Movember’ – a month when men are encouraged to grow facial hair in support of men’s health issues – to showcase the extreme facial hair of Kingston’s former civic leaders from a bygone era. The so-called Mo tour highlighted 19th century portraits of mayors with plenty of facial hair and colourful descriptions – like Rogue Sideburns, French Fork full beard, Extreme Mutton Chops with Soulpatch, Chin Curtain with Mutton Chops and the Bandito. But a scan of the displayed pictures since the early 1900s reveals most of Kingston’s former

Bars and restaurants fuel local economies across the country. Any night when a master mixologist is behind the bar or a gastronomical guru is manning the grill is an opportunity to enjoy a few drinks or a great meal. Many bars and restaurants look to capitalize on the latest trends in an effort to bring customers in and keep them coming back. The following are a handful of the latest trends men and women can expect to encounter on their next night out on the town.

Exotic ingredients

It’s not only chefs who are testing dining mettle with exotic ingredients. Bartenders are taking a cue from trendy foraged ingredients and using them to modernize outdated cocktails. Botanical ingredients like lichen, honeysuckle, Pacific madrone bark and pine needles are turning up in drinks across

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE

NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE FUTURE SHOP DECEMBER 5 CORPORATE FLYER Please be advised in the December 5 flyer, page 28, the Breville espresso maker (WebID: 10127927) was incorrectly advertised with a “free $35 gift card” offer.

the country. Many mixologists also are leaning more heavily on organic and naturally-sourced ingredients rather than prepackaged mixers. grown at a nearby vineyard. Some bars may source spirits from neighborhood distilleries.

Locally sourced products

Foods from humble beginnings are turning into gourmet fare. It seems a new bitter green or starchy product is becoming the vegetable du jour each week. Afraid to try your hand at kale or kohlrabi from the comforts of your own kitchen? Don’t worry, as many nearby restaurants are likely willing to

Eco-conscious consumers demand more locally sourced items, and this trend is beginning to pour over into the beverage industry. Expect to hear bartenders advertising more local ingredients, such as craft beers bottled right up the street or wine made from grapes

Restaurants and bars are implementing more technology into the service industry, eliminating downtime and streamlining orders. Dread calling a restaurant for reservations? No problem. Many establishments enable you to reserve a table or even preorder dinner from a mobile device. The chef can start prepping your meal even before you arrive and keep the flow in and out of the restaurant moving right along. Some bars now allow customers to place drink orders via apps or tablets, saving you the struggle of muscling your way to the bar to get a drink. Such apps employ location-based software so servers can quickly and easily find your table. Some chain restaurants even use table-mounted technology so you can get beverage refills or pay for the bill without signaling a server.

The Kingston Frontenacs snapped a three game losing streak with a 5-0 win over the Kichener Rangers at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in Kingston on Friday November 28th. The offense was led by a hat trick from Lawson Crouse and single markers by Juho Lammikko and Corey Pawley. The Frontenacs created their own scoring opportunities and also played a strong defensive game with Lucas Peressini earning the shutout.

Holiday Rock Show with Weeping Tile and Friends marks two decades of helping those in need hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Events - The Holiday Rock Show with Weeping Tile and Friends is an annual tradition Kingstonians have enjoyed for 20 years now. “Every fall we talk about it, then as it gets close we have a couple of powwows with food and scribble down some lists and talk about who we want to play,” says Luther Wright, who initiated the first concert in 1994 with his Weeping Tile bandmates Sarah Harmer and Sean Kelly and has continued to do so ever since. Over the past 20 years, the Holiday Rock Show has raised close to $100,000 for community members in need. For 18 years, it was held as a benefit for the Kingston chapter of the Salvation Army. Last year, for the first time, funds were given to Martha’s Table; all money raised at the 2014 show will be split three ways, between the Salvation Army, Martha’s Table and the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area. “Because it’s such a big show and we’re going to raise such a chunk of change, it’s nice to spread it around and make it effective in a few different places,” Wright explains. “In these economic times people don’t tend to give as much [to charity]. We thought, well why don’t we all just choose

a charity.” The show will take place Dec. 21 at Stages Nightclub. Acts include DJ Footballs, The Diaries, Jay Harris, Krista “Lederhosen Lucil” Muir, Weeping Tile, Deck the Halls with Balls and Kelly featuring Brucey “the Git” and more special guests. “We’ve pretty much kept it local as far as the bands and the music and the acts are concerned,” Wright says. “We change it up every year and try to include people that haven’t played before or bring back some people who played a few years ago.” He notes that it’s great to see the event still going strong after two decades. “It’s become an annual event because everybody looks forward to it as a celebration - to get back together and see old friends and hear the new music that’s happening. The social element is probably the biggest part. Now people always ask us about [the show]. It’s hard to stop once we get going.” Expect to hear some original tunes, along with a few Christmas songs. “Every act seems to include some Christmas songs. This year in particular I think there will be a lot more because most of the people playing in it have all contributed to the Boys and Girls Club album, Christmas is for Boys and Girls. We do a version of Blue Christmas and Sarah Harmer does a version of Country Christmas.”

Toopy and Binoo come to Kingston By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Events – Toopy and Binoo may not be names that are recognizable for most, but if you are parents of a young child then you probably know these characters very well. The mouse and cat duo are the stars of a popular Treehouse television show and now a theatrical show too; ‘Toopy and Binoo’s: Fun and Games’ is touring across Canada and the show will make a stop at the Grand Theatre on Dec. 21. “This show is all about fun and games and it is a perfect way to bring the characters of Toopy and Binoo into the world of theatre,” explained show director, choreographer and writer Patti Caplette. “It is a show that is a lot of fun and it is really visual with a lot of comedy and songs and dance. It is kind of a roller coaster ride of games.” The show is presented by Koba Entertainment, a group that seeks out different children’s programs and adapts them for the stage. In the past Caplette, who is also the artistic director of Koba, has created successful stage shows for Dora the Explorer, the Backyardigans, Franklin and Caillou. “We really have become one of the experts in the field in terms of turning these properties into theatrical stage shows that tour all across the country,” added Caplette. “It can be really challenging

at times for both the creators of the show and the actors, but the reward is pretty great too.” For this show, Caplette was fortunate in terms of casting; the actor that voices Toopy on TV, Frank Meschkulett, agreed to voice the life-size Toopy on stage. “He really is the voice of Toopy and that made it so much easier to put the rest of the show together,” added Caplette. “Shows like this can be quite challenging for the actors. The costumes are big and heavy and have limited visibility. All of the actors have been great and I hope the kids enjoy it.” Toopy and Binoo is based on the best-selling children’s books by Dominique Jolin and the characters made their television debut in 2005. The show gained popularity very quickly and Caplette hopes the theatrical show does too. “It is kind of like a mini Broadway show that we put on,” she added. “We have fantastic songs that are written specifically for the show and it really is a great introduction to theatre for small children.” Caplette has also worked to make the show interactive. The audience is invited to stand up, stretch, dance and clap along with Toopy and Binoo as they play their games and sing. “We certainly don’t expect them to sit there quietly,” said Caplette. “I think families will really enjoy it and I hope they continue to come out

News – Last year distracted driving killed 78 people on Ontario roads – in fact, distracted driving has now become one of the leading causes of death in Ontario, surpassing impaired driving. To bring awareness to this issue emergency services in Kingston have teamed up for a STOP texting campaign. “We have all come together on this issue because there is a lot of it happening in our region and the number of distracted driving collisions has increased, affecting all of our emergency services,” said Kingston Fire and Rescue Chief Rheaume Chaput. To launch the campaign, representatives from Kingston Fire and Rescue, Kingston Police and Frontenac Paramedic Services gathered at the Invista Centre on Dec. 2. They also brought along an example of what distracted driving can do in the form of a wrecked pickup truck that was involved in a texting collision on the 401 in Belleville. “When you look at that vehicle you see the result of a driver taking his eyes off the road for three or four seconds,” explained Chaput. “The driver slammed into the back of a transport truck and he was very fortunate to survive the accident. Nothing is that important when you are texting that it can’t wait until you aren’t driving.” As part of the campaign, the three emergency service locations will be distributing STOP texting magnets or stickers that can be displayed on the back of vehicles. They are asking drivers to display the red stop sign shaped stickers and magnets on the rear driver’s side so those texting

while driving will look up and see it and hopefully stop. “The other part of this campaign is if you are going to put a magnet on your vehicle that is your commitment to not text yourself,” added Chaput. “We want those who participate in the campaign to be an example. We want this idea to spread and become a community based program so we can eliminate, as much as possible, texting while driving in the city.” In Kingston alone an average of 400 charges are issued for distracted driving each year. These charges come with a $280 fine and that fine will likely increase in the coming months. “The government is looking to increase that fine to $1000 plus three demerit points and we fully support that increase,” said Kingston Police Chief Gilles Larochelle. “It is important to remember that distracted driving is not only about texting. It is anything that takes your attention away from the road like reaching for a drink, taking notes or putting makeup on. It is unbelievable the things people do while they drive and all of these things are distracting and dangerous.” While the timing of the campaign was not planned, Chaput is happy to see it launching around the holidays. “At Christmas time people are busy and distracted with a bunch of other stuff, let’s not have texting be one of them,” he said. “We want everyone to be safe.” STOP texting magnets are available at emergency service locations throughout the city and From left, Kingston Police Chief Gilles Larochelle, Gale Chevalier of the Frontenac Paraat the Invista Centre. The wrecked pickup truck medic Services, and Kingston Fire and Rescue Chief Rheaume Chaput promote the STOP will also be on display at the Invista Centre until texting campaign outside of the Invista Centre on Dec. 2. the New Year.

Lifestyle - The Northcote School was packed, and the smell of felt insoles, galoshes, and gum rubbers, propped against a log by the wood stove filled the room. It was the yearly Christmas concert. The desks had been stacked and moved to the front of the room, and planks brought in and either ends placed on chairs for seating. What was left of the Christmas tree decorations made for a sorry sight. Miss Crosby had us make 18 popcorn balls the day before (that’s how many students there were), and they were strung on string with a large darning needle, and circled the limbs of the big tree propped in the corner. Sadly, the mice had eaten every last popcorn ball during the night, and all that was left was the string, and the few ropes of red and green chain paper, also made by the pupils. Underneath were the presents each pupil brought for the

person whose name he had drawn the week before...and of course, we each had brought a present for Miss Crosby too. The concert had been rehearsed daily for a month, and if we didn’t know our lines by the night of the concert it wasn’t the teacher’s fault! And every last one of us had a part if you wanted it or not. Emerson and Cecil would have much preferred being part of the audience, but Miss Crosby was having none of that! As usual, bad Marguerite was an angel, and I was a sheep… again! Marguerite even had wings made by her mother...gossamer affairs that somehow were attached to the long white dress she wore, and she flitted around the stage in her white stockinged feet and with her newly permed Shirley Temple curls bobbing on her head like sausages on springs. My sister Audrey and the Briscoe twins opened the concert after Miss Crosby blew into a little whistle that gave them the proper note to start on. Their voices filled the school, and I could see Mother and Mrs. Briscoe wipe their eyes with the corner of their hankies. Then there was the one act play, and it seemed to me we acted out the same one every year. It was called “Who salted the soup?” The only thing different was the cast, which changed from Christmas concert to Christmas concert. Both Emerson and Cecil had parts in the play and I held my breath for its entire duration, but their performance went off without a hitch, much to everyone’s relief. Then Audrey and the twins sang a few more carols, this time much better than their first effort, since they were now used to the dim light and with one performance under their belts. All the time they were singing, Miss Smarty-pants was hopping around the stage with her wings flapping and her face cast to the ceiling, trying her best to look like an angel. I thought she looked like a white chicken scanning the stage for a place to light! But I couldn’t say a word, or move from my place, where, as a sheep, I was to keep my eyes on the manger and the doll borrowed from my friend Joyce Frances’ large collection. Miss Crosby had given us explicit instructions not to move off the stage when the concert ended. We were to stay in our positions, and she would say a few words to the audience, thank everyone for coming, and as happened every year, as if by magic, as soon as she finished, the school door flew open, and in rushed Santa Claus. Only then could we leave the stage and go to sit on the two front planks. Well, that’s when all hell broke loose. Miss Perfect, bound to be the first off the stage, as soon as Santa roared into the school with his ‘Ho, Ho’ Ho’s, Marguerite made a dive to lead the parade from the make-shift stage, which was just a platform borrowed from the United Church, her foot caught on the tail of her dress, and she slid off the stage like a ship being launched from a dock! Her wings were under her, and hadn’t Miss Crosby made a grab for her, she would have slid right into the front row of planks. Santa Claus never missed a beat, ignored the heap on the floor, and headed right for the tree, ready to hand out the presents. It was a pretty quiet Marguerite we saw for the rest of the night. My brother Emerson, on the way home in the flat-bottomed sleigh after the evening was over, said he’d bet his last dollar that she wouldn’t be the angel in the next Christmas concert. I thought if she didn’t grow too much, maybe Miss Crosby could put her in the crib, and she could be baby Jesus. That way she would have to stay perfectly still for the entire evening, and not move a muscle. Somehow, I couldn’t picture her in the role. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

up that studied art in Paris, a gallery owner came to Red Lake and an art teacher and ethnographer did too. All of these people helped his career,� added Ruffo. “According to Morrisseau, all of this was meant to be. He had a vision and his grandfather was a Shaman and told him it would happen. It is quite interesting.� Morrisseau was deeply tied to his Ojibway heritage and much of this informs Ruffo’s book and influences the style. “The book actually breaks from what we might call realism at times and moves into this mythic world that Norval inhabited himself. He saw himself as a shaman-artist and his

work was very much tied to that whole world view and epistemology.� Sadly, Morrisseau died in late 2007 while Ruffo was still writing, but he is confident that Morrisseau would have enjoyed the finished product and is watching how it is received each day. “He actually told me that I had his Shamanic blessing to work on this project,� said Ruffo. “I think he is smiling about the book. I think he would like it and I hope readers do too.� Ruffo’s book ‘Norval Morriseau: Man Changing into Thunderbird’ is available at Novel Idea. For more information visit www. douglas-mcintyre.com

Mojitos and flesh soup feed hope By Kate Kristiansen

Having just unpacked from the hot sandy beaches of Cuba amidst a homecoming of big fluffy flakes of snow…someone bring me a mojito. I was warned that if I was in search of gastronomic delights that Cuba is absolutely not the destination to visit—beautiful beaches, horrible food. Cuba is heralded as the world’s largest working model of semi-sustainable agriculture. They import some of their food, such as rice from Vietnam; otherwise they grow their own citrus fruits, mangos, coffee, sugar cane

and more. I am interested in sustainable food models and was fascinated by the way in which Cuba feeds its people. The visit was an eye-opener. Under a dictatorship, change can be enforced. In a democracy, there is greater freedom to choose the easy way out, which many of us in North America do every day. Food tastes are personal and subjective. If you are in Cuba for a holiday and food is not an all-important factor then you’ll never go hungry. We stayed at a high-end resort, and each day the food offerings were refilled for us to pick through. The chefs were available to cook morning omelets and lunchtime pastas

to your choosing. I discovered parents carrying jars of peanut butter to quiet picky children and guests complaining about food choice, especially when flesh soup with grey watery broth showed up on the menu. I am told that visiting during high season you will find more varie t y. But, really, what is in flesh soup? For the most part, you will always find a beer and ham sandwich to suffice. Book your a la carte reservations as soon as you arrive. You will generally find fresh, local food at these onsite restaurants rather than at the buffet. It was recommended to visit the offsite paladares, the private restaurants located in family homes. Most professional chefs have abandoned state owned places and are now working in these establishments. However, it was the faces of the Cubans working within the walls of the resort more than the food that captured my interest. Each day, the workers were bussed or taxied in with their warm, welcoming smiles to work tirelessly for the vacationers. The average Cuban makes in a year what most of us make in a week. For 51 years, Cuban’s have survived on a ration system installed by Fidel Castro as part of his communist regime in the 1960s. It involves a low-priced basket of basic food. The sub-sized ration in-

cludes rice, beans, potatoes, bread, eggs and a small amount of meat. No fruits or vegetables are included. Rations must be paid for. Despite communism having its roots in social equality, beef is reserved for their nation’s rulers and for tourists, who can pay for it with foreign funds while staying at the resort hotels. The National Review reports that it is in fact illegal to sell beef to a Cuban. In 2008, things began to change. Raul Castro took over government from his ailing brother Fidel and the country is trying to shift its people from a goods subsidy (the ration system) to a more targeted welfare one. Limited in what they can eat, Cubans spend much of their time thinking about their next meal. I, and many other tourists, found ourselves obsessing over food, too. Cuba is the Caribbean’s largest island. It’s a geographically diverse land of mountains, Continued on page 26

Wheels of Hope program provides warmth for cancer patients with some help from Sunbeam mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Warmth is something that is certainly hard to find at this time of year, especially for those who are travelling to and from hospitals for life-saving cancer treatments. Luckily, the Canadian Cancer Society and Sunbeam have teamed up for the ‘Supports with Warmth’ program and awareness campaign for the CCS’s patient transportation programs. “Wheels of Hope is a volunteer driver program that helps cancer patients get to and from their treatments,” explained Doug Kane, manager of the Cancer Society in Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. “This year Sunbeam donated $25,000 to the Wheels of Hope programs in Ontario and 500 heated throws to our patients. We also hope to raise more funds through the campaign.” Last year in Frontenac, Lennox and Addington the Wheels of Hope program had 47 volunteer drivers who drove 153,000 kilometers to get 476 patients to their treatments. They provided just over 3000 rides. “The program is amazing and so many people don’t know about it,” said Kane. “The volunteers do it for different reasons and they certainly don’t want any attention for what they do, but we are grateful for their time and commitment to the program.” For local volunteer driver Shirley Burke, help-

ing patients was an easy decision and she has been working with Wheels of Hope for the past 10 years. Burke started after taking a friend to cancer treatments. She created a relationship with nurses at the hospital and they suggested she get more involved. “I inquired and went through the training and I have been driving ever since,” said Burke. “I drive almost every day and sometimes twice a day. I enjoy it quite a bit and I really love the people.” Many patients use the program because they simply don’t have access to a vehicle, but others also use it because it makes travelling to treatments less stressful; Dan De Santis started using the Wheels of Hope program a few months ago and now he can’t imagine driving to treatments himself. “While I was getting diagnosed and having tests done I had to go to Ottawa and finding the hospital and parking was incredibly challenging and stressful,” explained De Santis. “After that we found out about the Wheels of Hope program. I started travelling with Rod, one of the volunteers, and the entire process has been so much easier now.” Volunteer drivers provide door-to-door service for patients and they even offer friendly conversation along the way. Burke loves connecting with patients and taking their mind off the upcoming treatments on the way to the hospital and then

offering comfort and encouragement on the way home. “I want to ease their mind and make them comfortable,” she adds. “Seeing some patients in difficult situations is very challenging, but overall it is incredibly rewarding. I am offering a service to these people when they truly need it.” While De Santis says he could potentially drive to treatments himself or his wife could drive him, he is grateful to have Wheels of Hope as an option. Over the past few months he has developed relationships with the drivers and would even consider them friends now. “They all love doing what they do and you can sense that. It makes life at this stage, with all the other stresses, so much easier and it really is a big load off of myself and my wife.” To learn more and to donate to visit www.sunbeam.ca/supportswithwarmth As a thank you, those who donate will also receive a $20 online coupon code towards the purchase of any Sunbeam Heated Bedding product on www.sunbeam. ca.

I spent the vacation reading and sipping mojitos—fresh mint, ice, limes, soda and rum crushed together for the refreshing cocktail. Christopher Columbus, when landing in Cuba, claimed he had discovered the Garden of Eden—a beautiful place, stunning turquoise waters and loads of fish. Today, Cuba is a dictatorship under Castro, and, while progress is being made, the future of Cuba still hangs in the balance. The recent changes have some losing confidence in their government and worrying about their future. While not the poorest country in the world, Cuba is poor by North American and Western standards. But, where else could you get subsidized food, free education and health care, heavily supported basic living expenses, housing, water and electricity? My “save the world” muscle was in overdrive.

that this is Cuba, it’s not Canada. The world is a varied place, and there is more that makes a country go around. Their salary, after expenses, leaves the average Cuban in a similar situation as most Canadians after paying bills. My donation was the trip to aid tourism. The truest gift I could give them was respect and friendship. My neighbors here at home need my help. The food security experts at Loving Spoonful report there are over 19,800 Kingston residents living below the poverty line. With the large fluffy white stuff falling and temperatures dropping, this is the season of increased costs for us all—heat, electricity, gift giving and more.

The realness of Santa Claus

how he gets down chimneys and why he uses them, saying it’s all Santa magic. He said to tell children not to worry if there’s a fire in the fireplace or if they live in an apartment or home with no chimney. More Santa magic. Even NORAD, the North American Air Defense system, gets excited about Santa. According to the folks at NORAD, that’s because of the late Colonel Harry Shoup. In 1955, NORAD (then known as CONAD, the Continental Air Defense Command) started to track Santa, thanks to a Sears Roebuck and Company advertising misprint. The ad contained a number for children to call Santa Claus. The incorrect number turned out to be the CONAD Commander-in-Chief’s hotline. Colonel Harry Shoup, the Director of Operations, decided to have his staff track Santa via radar. Children who called the number in the advertisement were given updates on Santa’s location. Since 1955, NORAD has tracked Santa every year. NORAD staff members, as well as their family and friends, volunteer their time to respond to children’s phone calls and emails from around the world. On December 24, they keep Continued on page 28

WINTER BLIND

The Night Before Christmas, originally called A Visit from St. N i c h olas, first published in 1823, gave the world a lot of information about Santa and his reindeer, including most of the reindeer names.

We seek hope, reminders of goodness in our lives, in a world where images of war-zones, disease and violent crimes ooze out of televisions and computer monitors into millions of homes. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….” That phrase begins a story about Santa Claus, A Visit from St. Nicholas, that brings us hope. Published anonymously in 1823 and later attributed to Clement C. Moore, the reading of the story has become a Christmas tradition. But who is this Santa Claus who brings hope, belief in magic and returns us to childlike wonder? An elf, a magical being, the spirit of a long-gone saint? Over time, some of the mysteries surrounding Santa Claus and his life have been unraveled. In the 1823 story, we learned some of the reindeer

names. Two years ago, Santa Claus granted me an exclusive interview that we printed in this newspaper. I learned that Santa is as old as time. He revealed that his favorite book is A Visit from St. Nicholas. That tells me that there is a great deal of truth in that old story. In 1897, eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon, who lived at 115 West Ninety-Fifth Street in New York City, wrote what is probably the most famous letter ever written about Santa Claus. She sent it to a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York newspaper. She knew they’d answer it truthfully. In her letter she asks if there is a Santa Claus. The paper responded with the famous editorial, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus….” Virginia grew up to become a writer, teacher and school principal. When Virginia O’Hanlon was 81 years old, and living in the nursing home, she said she still believed in Santa Claus. “Her curiosity made people believe in the magic of Santa,” Santa Claus told me. The ageless and kind man said he goes by many names besides Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Pere Noel and Father Christmas are a few of the better known monikers. Santa Claus remains elusive about

sion, forgiveness, commitment, spontaneity and even life itself. Through an exploration of mysticism—spoiler alert—in Does Santa Exist, Eric Kaplan combines logic, comedy and the Kabbalah to prove that Santa Claus does exist. In his own words: “On the way to believing it, I resolved that question I started with [Does Santa Exist?]. Because the Gentle Face—the aspect of the Limitless that loves us no matter what, that bestows blessings and gifts at every moment, looks a little familiar. The Gentle Face is described in the Kabbalah as having a long white beard. Now, who does that remind you of, giving gifts regardless of whether we are deserving and sporting a long white beard and a kind face..... Does Santa Claus exist? Yes. He is the face the Limitless takes on when manifesting itself to human consciousness.” To simplify this whole discussion: don’t forget treats for Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve. Santa told me he likes milk and cookies. The reindeer like apples, oats and carrots. Enough said. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

tabs on Santa. Children, and curious adults, can follow Santa’s travels at www.noradsanta. org. When a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper and NORAD believe in Santa Claus, that’s more than enough proof for me. But that still leaves us with the questions: who is Santa and where did he come from? He’s a midwinter bringer of gifts. His world is full of magical wonder. Stories of St. Nicholas can be traced to 4th century Turkey. Many myths have developed around the man who is reported to have had miraculous powers, loved children and had great kindness in his heart, remembered, not for great miracles or a tragic death, but for his generosity. He wasn’t selective about whom he helped. Nicholas is said to have aided Christians, Muslims and Jews. He gained his own feast day as a saint of the Catholic Church: December 6. Tales of Santa Claus grew in many cultures, especially the Norse and Germanic, whose Yule celebrations came under Santa’s reign. The concept of Santa being related to elves comes from Scandinavian folklore, where the elvish are also gift givers. The Yule is the time of darkness turning to light, the winter solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is at its darkest. The Protestant Reformation tried to put a stop to the Saint Nicholas stories, but thanks to people like the Dutch, it was impossible. There was an effort to use the Christ Child in the gift-giver symbolism, but this failed. The

Christ Child became Christkindl, who simply morphed into Kris Kringle, yet another name for Santa Claus. There was no beating down this kindly old elf. By the late 1700s/early 1800s, stories of Saint Nicholas were widespread in North America. By 1810, Santa was celebrated in New York City, when the New York Historical Society hosted the first St. Nicholas anniversary dinner. The artist who drew images for the dinner showed Santa placing gifts in stockings hanging by the fireplace to dry. Thus, the association of Santa and chimneys. It is generally agreed that prior to 1821, Santa Claus travelled by horse (from Scandinavian history). An obscure little book called The Children’s Friend, published in 1821, described “Santeclaus” as a magical bringer of gifts. This was also the first instance where Santa was seen wearing red. As for the reindeer, which showed up in Clements’ A Visit From St. Nicholas (The Night Before Christmas), they come from Scandinavia and Finland, where reindeer were used to pull sleighs. For unfortunate adults who say they don’t believe in Santa Claus, you may find a new book quite interesting. Does Santa Exist: A Philosophical Investigation by Eric Kaplan, of Big Bang Theory fame, looks at belief in Santa Claus from a metaphysical perspective. It touches on many philosophical and psychological concepts like Newcomb’s paradox, Buddhism and Descartes. To sum up part of his argument, you can live a fully rational life, but, to do so, you must give up creativity, eroticism, faith, pas-

Celebrating the season quite get the significance. I loved horses and thought it was “Stirrup Sunday” and didn’t see the connection for ages. Making the pudding about five weeks before Christmas gave it time to age and for flavors to mature for December 25. Small charms or coins were added during the mixing. If you found the coin while eating the pudding it was supposed to bring you wealth over the year. Part of the ritual of the day is to stir the mixture from east to west in honor of the journey of the three wise men. While stirring, each family member would make a secret wish. In our modern world, winter can be an inconvenience or a general bother when we have to shovel snow or scrape frost off a car window. But for early settlers, the Canadian winter was a life-or-death situation. Stone pigs assisted in the bedtime warming process. Don’t miss the one at the foot of the bed in the upstairs bedroom of Heritage House Museum. The contraption looks like a caricature of a pig or an Andy Warhol image of a porker. It’s a heating device used to warm blankets on cold nights.

Over the next two weeks, there’s lots to do in our region that will get you into the Christmas spirit. From Christmas carols in a sacred setting to historic sites beautifully decorated for the Yule season, we have it all in eastern Ontario. North of Kingston, Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls is all decked out for the holidays. You can step back in time to the Victorian Era in the house, which dates to the days of Canada’s Confederation. You’ll discover the origins of many Christmas traditions during your visit. In the 1800s, each member of the family took a turn stirring the home’s Christmas plum pudding after church on Stir-up Sunday, the last Sunday of the Church Year (the Sunday before Advent). Although, as a child in an Irish family, I didn’t

The home’s elegant main floor parlor feels alive. It’s got the biggest Christmas tree in the house. You can practically hear Dickens reading A Christmas Carol or Clement C.

I’ve talked with several people who will be going outside the region and visiting New York over the holidays. If you’re there, the New York City Ballet will be performing George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater through January 3. The ballet features more than 200 performers, a one-ton Christmas tree that magically grows from 12 to 40 feet, hundreds of dazzling costumes, and a million watts of illumination. Balanchine’s Nutcracker is one of the most complex theatrical, staged ballets in the Company’s active repertory.

It’s decorated with Canadian symbols like the maple leaf and beaver. Glanmore National Historic Site is also home to Victorian British artist Horatio Couldery’s paitings of dogs, a few cats and a fish or two. During the Christmas season, there’s a special night time tour coming up on Wednesday, December 17, from 6:30 pm to 8 pm. They’ve recreated the look of gaslight for popular evening tours. You can enjoy a “gaslight” guided tour of Glanmore, decorated for Christmas. Traditional holiday refreshments will be served following the tour.

What’s Next for Frontenac Islands Council? By Margaret Knott Correspondent

HeritageMany Municipal Councils have already been sworn in, their members intent on moving their communities forward. Those of the Frontenac Islands council will do the same Dec. 8th at their regular meeting. All of them including Mayor Dennis Doyle worked hard to be returned to serve the people of Howe, Wolfe and Simcoe Islands. Their efforts of all the candidates, those returned and those new to campaigning was impressive. It was apparent all were intent on improving life and living on the island for all residents in one way or another. Among them was Howe Island candidate Natalie Nossal who having served an appointed term of office campaigned to be elected . She replaced Councillor Pat Norris when he resigned. Rather than a promotional package of what she proposed to do if elected she carried a post card sized announcement of who she was, where she could be reached and outlining on one side what she hoped to accomplish. On the other side was the picture of a (the) Howe Island the quilt, put to-

gether by a group of Howe Island women and auctioned off at the island’s Terry Fox run one year. “In using the quilt as a campaign logo I wanted to show that although the responsibilities of council are more profound and far-reaching than constructing a quilt there are analogies to be made in the work of council,” she said. As the swearing date looms Councillor Nossal’s comments about that quilt made at an all candidates meeting are worth remembering. . “ In making it we met often over many months to plan what we wanted to do and how we would do it and with a vision of what we wanted to achieve at the end of our efforts,” she said. “We researched, gathered information, discussed amongst ourselves and with others what should be included in the quilt. We also practiced constant cooperative problem-solving­ not only in choosing the content for the scenes for the panels but also how they should be constructed, working together towards a common goal,” she added. “Looking at the Howe Island quilt suggests not only the physical beauty of the island(s) but also the power of working together to achieve the goals that serve the community,”

she concluded. Councillor Nossal will serve as Deputy Mayor of Frontenac Islands and join Mayor Denis Doyle at Frontenac County where he is presently serving as Warden . Winter has arrived… How do I know? Winter has begun in earnest now that MTO is moving “the boat’’ from “town” to the winter dock at Dawson Point some 3 miles from Marysville as of Dec. 6th. This is important to know since it can be a long cold walk from there to the village, if you are unaware or missed the sign that Dawson Point is where the ferry lands. There is no bus service. The location offers improved lighting and a warm trailer to wait in and a telephone. MTO cameras track city and island (ferry) traffic.. For many residents who go to work in the city the ferry move changes little, It continues being a “Park & Ride” or “Drop Off-Pick up” or cycling for the very hardy just as it always is. Coming from the foot of the island however makes for a shorter run. For Marysville residents who generally walk to the ferry and are without a vehicle the move to Dawson creates problems.

Fortunately the ingenuity of people sees them getting to the ferry one way or another. For visitors and friends to the island, Please don’t let the ferry location stop you. We have the very best covered rink in the region…. There are winter events , fun activities, birds, wildlife not to be missed, and best of all great people to meet. The WI Pub &Pizzeria and Fargo’s are there to welcome you. Why Not Come On By…..

He noted 1st anniversary of Specimen Collection Centres, steady numbers (10-14),and contributions covering most clinic costs involved. Collected specimens are transported to LifeLabs Kingston by 3 WICMC volunteers (Liz Crothers, Wlima Sjonger, Hugh) who have obtained the required Transportation of Dangerous Goods certification . WICMC hopes to add 1-2 more to that number. “Rhonda Brown has been a real trooper in performing the phlebotomist role every two weeks over the past year !” * The WI Community

Gift ideas from the car counselor Lifestyle - Almost everyone has uttered this lament during the Christmas season; “I just don’t know what to get for _______!” While I’m not a gift counselor, if your recipient drives a vehicle, I can offer a few suggestions. Less than $200. While gifts that are car related may sound a little utilitarian for a Christmas offering, there are some that will leave a lasting impression of your thoughtfulness throughout the year. Weathertech floor liners are one of those gifts. These are not simply another winter floor mat-novelty, they are true floor liners. They are made in California and shipped in Canada from a Vancouver depot. Weathertech uses a scanner to create a digital image of the interior floor of any vehicle and then they custom mold their tough flexible water and salt proof liners to provide a glove-like fit. The liners extend to the door sill, up past the control pedals and back to almost under the seats with a deep tray wall to contain an entire winter’s worth of

when buying splash guards. Less than $50. Car detailing kits. If your loved one or family member is a Saturday morning driveway car-wash fanatic, you can’t do better than picking up a car detailing kit. Many automotive stores will have ready-made kits available but you can easily make up your own. A 20 L plastic handled bucket can serve as the packaging to be filled with car wax, car wash soap (dish washing detergent really isn’t a good idea for washing autos), a wash mitt, a good quality chamois, tire dressing, windshield water repellant treatment and throw in a spray can of silicone lubricating compound to show what a detailing expert you are. One of the best brands in the detailing business is Meguiars and you can find a complete line of their products at many auto parts stores. If your elf would rather let an automated car wash do the work, consider a gift card from a neighbourhood car-wash centre. As many of us are driving sport utilities, cross-overs and minivans, some type of cargo organizer is a very useful item to have. Especially handy is the jug-tub, a plastic container designed to hold a 4 L bottle of windshield washer fluid to keep it from toppling over (don’t forget a new jug of good quality washer fluid as well). The best organizers

melted slush. They’re great for new cars to protect the original carpet from stains and for older ones to hide a multitude of salt scars. They’re available in front sets, front and rear packages, and cargo mats as well in a variety of colours. It’s not too late to log onto www.weathertech. ca to find out more. If your favourite car fan is a traveler, why not consider a GPS map unit? I’ve tested several of the top brands and Garmin is one of the best. For the minimum amount of driver distraction look for models with turn-by-turn voice command navigation and suggest the unit not be mounted on the windshield but below the level of the dash top. Less than $100. Splash/Mud guards. Few new vehicles come with these anymore and they can save many times their value in reduced stone-chip paint damage or car washes. For the best fit and easiest installation, stick with the carmaker’s brand. Most factory dealerships carry these in stock for current and recent model year vehicles.

Health care closer to home By Hiba Kesebi

Brent Schneider has witnessed more changes to his role as pharmacist in the past five years than he has experienced in his entire 30-year-career. That’s because in 2012, the Ontario government passed regulations allowing for pharmacists to have a broader range of patient services that they can provide. On Nov. 28, Schneider and his team of pharmacists met with MPP Sophie Kiwala to discuss these changes as part of the Neighbourhood Pharmacy Association of Canada’s Healthcare Closer to Home initiative, which highlights the expanding range of services that pharmacists can now provide. “Because of these changes, we are providing easier access to care,” explained Schneider, pharmacy manager for the Medical Arts Pharmacy on Princess Street. “Health care is not a competition; healthcare is about having the services available for people in a timely fashion and we are able to help provide those services,” he added. Under the bill, pharmacists can now renew prescriptions for up to six months or for the length of the original prescription, whichever is less. They can also alter the formulation of a prescription – for example, from a liquid to a capsule – change the regimen or the frequency, which medication should be administered, and adjust the dose of a medication, if necessary. “Right now, if someone with asthma comes in to the pharmacy on a Friday night and they need another inhaler, their doctor is gone, they

can’t get down to emergency but they are here, we actually have the scope to renew prescriptions,” explained Joel Donnelly, a pharmacist with the Medical Arts Pharmacy. According to Donnelly, pharmacists cannot prescribe any medication – unless it’s for smoking cessation and is done through the Ontario Pharmacy Cessation Program, which provides smokers with the access, medication, expertise and ongoing counselling they need to quit. “We have had really positive feedback from smoking cessation. We have a few patients, who every time they come to the pharmacy, tell me they are still not smoking,” Donnelly said, noting the effectiveness of the program. In addition to having more autonomy over renewing and administrating medication, pharmacists can also provide wellness counselling, which allows them to demonstrate to patients the proper use of devices like glucose meters, inhalers, and epi-pens. Pharmacist can also meet with patients, whether it is through home visits or in-pharmacy visits, to discuss their medication history and assess their medication profile. “Many times patients like to come in before a planned hospital admission or elective surgery to reconcile the medications and have a current list of all the medications they currently take to provide their surgeon or physician,” said Jen Belcher, who is also a pharmacist with the Medical Arts Pharmacy. Belcher noted the importance of wellness counselling as it ensures

Photo/Hiba Kesebi patients are properly taking care of themselves, which reduces the risk of needing specialized or emergency healthcare. Thanks to the 2012 regulation, pharmacists can now also administer flu vaccinations. In fact, over 2,500 pharmacies

in Ontario have trained pharmacists who can administer the flu vaccine to patients who are five years old or older. Last year, pharmacists injected more than 650,000 people with the vaccine. Having pharmacists administer the vaccine ultimately reduces the strain on the healthcare system and

allows physicians the time to focus on more complicated cases, explained Schneider. “Because we are dealing with healthy people who want to stay healthy, physicians can then have more time to deal with people who are sick and need to be diagnosed,” he added.

window should be sufficient to light up a room. Keep lamps and overhead lighting off while the tree is lit to save money and energy. • Lower the thermostat. When entertaining, turn the thermostat down a few degrees. Having extra people in your home will raise the temperature. Similarly, heat generated by the oven and other cooking appliances can warm up a home. Don’t waste energy by keeping

the heat turned on high. • Invest in rechargeable batteries. According to Energy Quest, 40 percent of all batteries are purchased during the holiday season. To power those many gifts and devices, use rechargeable batteries which can be used again and again. • Change your cooking practices. Smaller appliances use less energy. Put those toaster ovens, slow cookers and electric fryers to good use. Only use the

oven if you are cooking a large meal. • Wait until the dishwasher is full. Pack in the dishes from holiday meals, and only run the dishwasher when it is full. • Reuse items whenever possible. Many items around the house can be put to good use as decorations, holiday servers or gifts. Take inventory of what you have before you go out and purchase new decorations.

‘Tis the season to be festive, and that usually means stringing up hundreds of twinkling lights to create a welcoming glow on dark winter nights. Some people view the holiday season as their chance to go all out with regard to decorating their homes with an abundance of lights, inflatable lawn ornaments and maybe even some mechanical figures. While these decorations certainly may be symbols of the season, it’s easy to forget just how much energy and resources they consume. A typical strand of lights uses around 300 watts of electricity. Multiply those figures by the dozens of strings of lights people use and it’s easy to see how quickly energy usage can add up. In addition to lights, lit candles, animated dolls, wreaths, trees, and scores of imported ornaments contribute to the energy consumption per household. Even so, environmentally conscious individuals need not skip the holiday décor and entertaining. Fortunately, there are various ways to be energy efficient with holiday décor this season. • Switch to LED lights. LED lights consume a fraction of the energy traditional incandescent bulbs do. While a standard string of 50 lights consumes 300 watts, LED sets only consume four watts. This not only saves energy, but also considerable amounts of money over the course of the holiday season. • Use fiber-optic decorations. Fiber optic items are lit by one light. The illumination carries through the fiber optic cables to the entire decoration. • Use a power strip and timer. Plug decorations into a power strip (be sure to follow the recommended power load for safety) and hook everything up to a timer so lights are not on when no one

Holiday living made easy With so much on our plates between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the holiday season can be hectic. Fortunately, there are many ways to save time and make the holiday season more manageable. • If you don’t have plastic clips to hang lights around windows and to the eaves of your home, inexpensive clothespins will work just as well. If you’re concerned about the color of the wooden clips, paint them holiday hues before stringing the lights. • Put a bath mat, rug-side down and rubberside up, beneath your Christmas tree stand. This allows you to spin the tree as you hang lights and ornaments without damaging the floor underneath. It also makes it simple to undress the tree once the season is over. Use a tree skirt to hide the mat. • Squeeze artificial tree portions into concrete form tubes. First wrap the tree portions in twine and then slip them into the concrete sleeves. Each tube can be stowed in attic or garage rafters, freeing up precious space. • Use empty squirt bottles to make baking and cooking easier. Pancake and cookie batters can be squirted from the containers for less mess. • Store one or two strings of lights in a plastic shopping bag to keep the strands from getting tangled. Hang the bags from a hook in a garage or stack them in a storage bin. • Use plastic zip ties to attach garland and lights to bannisters. They’re easy to assemble and will not damage the bannisters. • A paper towel holder can be screwed to the wall in a craft room to neatly hold spools of ribbon. Simply pull the length you need from the spool and cut for easy decorating. • Mount a tree stand to a piece of wood with screws or glue. This prevents spills from reaching the floor while stabilizing the tree. • Old maps make interesting gift wrap and

are a nice change of pace from commercially produced paper or newsprint. • Wrap duct tape or another type of sticky tape around your hand. Pat over fallen pine needles that accumulate around the tree. In hard-to-reach areas, wrap the tape around a broom or a floor sweeper. • When traveling for the holidays, use a brightly colored suitcase or flashy tape to make your suitcase stand out from others at the airport. • Place hardened brown sugar in a baking dish, cover it with a moist paper towel and either microwave it on high for 20-second intervals or place it in a 300 F oven for five minutes. This will soften the sugar, making it easier to use the sugar to prepare your favorite holiday cookie recipes. • Save plastic bread ties, which can be used to make tags for the wires on certain devices. Such ties also can be used to organize decorating components and to keep your place on a roll of tape. • Measure the inside of your picture window and construct a wooden frame to its dimensions. Staple holiday lights to the frame and then easily slip the frame in and out of place each year. • Hang a live wreath or some boughs of evergreen in your home to give it that fresh pine scent if you have an artificial tree. • Color-code storage containers so you can easily find holiday decorations in the attic or basement. • Pack for a holiday excursion using a collapsible clothing storage hanger for closets. Fold clothes on each fabric shelf and then collapse it into your suitcase. When you get to your destination, unfold and hang it in a closet so all of your clothes will be at the ready. Make the holidays even more enjoyable with a variety of timesavers and clever tips.
