South Frontenac Council flirts with shortest-meeting record By Craig Bakay Reporter
EMC News — South Frontenac Council finished its regular meeting last week in near-record time, passing the confirming bylaw after a mere 28 minutes. (The unofficial record stands at 18 minutes, during the Phil Leonard era, when there was an important hockey game on television that evening.) The meeting would have been longer had the annual auditor’s report not been scrubbed from the agenda. The meeting wasn’t
without fireworks however, as Coun. Ron Vandewal protested the Township’s new format for reporting monthly financial accounts. Some information previously included on the reports is absent from the new format. “I read every one, as do many councillors,” said Vandewal tersely. “And I need more detail.” “I agree with Coun. Vandewal,” said Coun. Bill Robinson, who is also noted for going over the cheques with a fine-tooth comb. However, some councillors were fine with the
new format. “I’m not sure I need to know what the cheques were for,” said Coun. Mark Tinlin. “I don’t read it very often,” said Coun. Del Stowe. “I know some the rest of Council will be taking care of that part of things.” The monthly cheque registry varies widely but on average, it’s usually around $1.5 million. The cheques approved last week amounted to $1.9 million and it was $1.6 million the previous month. Mayor Gary Davison suggested the corporate services committee discuss
the matter further. Council did however do some business, passing resolutions on a new reserves policy, insurance for bridges and a tax sale extension agreement, all without much discussion. Under new business, Tinlin asked about the status of Bedford Hall, which has been targeted for repairs. “We’re getting a design done for a mechanical ventilation system including air conditioning, heating and dehumidifying,” said Stowe. “They also need the fire department to deter-
mine capacity in the hall for that,” said Vandewal. “But on the plus side, the mould wasn’t nearly as bad as first thought.” Also, never one to let an opportunity to continue a cause slip by, Robinson once again noted his displeasure with the placement of postal boxes in Harrowsmith. “I went and measured the lot (that the Township owns on Colebrook Road) and it’s 50 feet wide by 90 feet deep,” Robinson said. “That’s plenty big enough. “They had a bait shop and a Chinese restaurant there at one time.”

“Two things matter — tone and timing” By Craig Bakay Reporter
EMC News — Judges at music competitions may emphasize certain aspects of performance, but when it comes down to it, they really just want to hear good music being played. “I’ll be looking for presence, not missing notes, keeping in time, keeping in key,” said Old Time Music Championship rookie mandolin judge Ellis Wolfreys, himself an accomplished musician and host of CJAI’s top-rated radio program, The Wolf’s Den. “I’ll also be looking at their fingering and how they hold the instrument.” “There are two things that matter — tone and timing,” said local bluegrass legend Bill White, who was pressed into service as guitar judge after the scheduled judge had a medical emergency. “(But) I’m kind of an old-fashioned stickler in that presentation also enters into the equation — the way you dress, smiling and greeting the audience. “It’s all about the respect you show for your audience.” And then, feeling himself becoming just a little too serious, White added: “I’m a little disappointed. I was expecting black robes
and a white wig. “And I haven’t even been offered a bribe yet.” This was White’s first foray into the world of judging a musical competition also. Fiddle judge Mel McDougall was the veteran of Sunday’s judging crew, having judged three years ago at the Championship. “They like to alternate judges from year to year,” McDougall said. “That way, if somebody feels they didn’t get a fair shake, we’ll find out the next year.” But McDougall’s judging criteria wasn’t much different than his rookie counterparts. “I want pleasing music,” McDougall said. “I want something that will make heads bob and feet tap — something you feel like dancing to. “And to get that, you need good tone, make a good selection of songs to play, play them well and with feeling. “If they don’t have that, it doesn’t make it.” He said music has to reach its audience and that takes a long time to achieve, even things like knowing which songs to play. “There’s no use playing rock if you walk in and all you see is graying hair,” he said.
Judges Bill White and Ellis Wolfreys knew what they were looking for in a competitor.

Some growing pains for Old Time Music Championship but organizers’ enthusiasm still strong By Craig Bakay Reporter
EMC News — Moving the Old Time Music Championship to September this year seemed like a good idea, as kids wouldn’t be away on summer vacation or have conflicts with other summer activities like camp or sports. However, the number of competitors and Sunday audience members wasn’t exactly what organizers were hoping for. But the September date will likely remain for some time, although other changes will most likely be in the offing. “I’m really looking forward to next year,” said chair Cliff Rimes. “Expect a big announcement in the near future.” Rimes said a hopedfor participation and attendance boost “didn’t come to fruition” but in his estimation, the move to September was a good idea. They just didn’t
promote it as well as they might have. “We need to get to the schools with the word,” he said. “We need to talk to the kids about the competition. “You cannot force somebody to compete.” He said one big change is that they will do more “jam fundraisers” like the one in Verona last year, in various locations, which will include kids in an effort to “get them more comfortable” with getting up on a stage in front of an audience. “And I don’t think we’ll have a silent auction next year,” he said. A primary goal of the Championship has always been to promote music for school-age kids, both with programs and in the form of monetary support for established in-school programs. This year, the fiddle workshops were cancelled due to lack of participants. In the competition categories, there
were only two contestants under the age of 46 compared to five in the 46-65 class and 10 in the 66 + class. There were only three contestants in the under age 46 fiddle competition and none in guitar, banjo or mandolin. By comparison, there were two in the 46-65 fiddle class, three in 66+ fiddle, two in 66+ guitar, two in 66+ banjo and one in 66+ mandolin. But one thing that remains is the feel-good atmosphere as evidenced by the jam session and participants who did enter. “We love coming here,” said Anne and Peter Svenson, who made the trek over from Traverse Lake near Jones Falls. “Anne won first place in the vocals last year and we love giving our effort to such a good cause.” Another plus to a September date is that the hall was much more comfortable with milder fall temperatures.

Thirteen-year-old from Richmond Hill wows Championship audience Reporter
EMC News — Thirteen-year-old Augusta Campoli came all the way from Richmond Hill to sing at this year’s Old Time Music Championship at Bedford Hall last weekend. After winning the 9-14 age bracket, she was quickly moved up to the adult class and ended up winning it all. “It was such an adrenalin rush getting up on stage,” she said. “I was basically thinking ‘don’t screw up.’” Campoli came to the Championship this year after her father found it online. “It’s hard to find a stage for a 13-year-old to sing on,” she said. But Campoli isn’t really a stranger to the
stage. Classically trained in vocals since age six, she has sang at Carnegie Hall (twice) but that was classical music, not her (now) first love — country music. “When we would drive to my brother’s hockey games, we’d listen to country radio stations,” she said. “We’d listen to people like Shania Twain, Garth Brooks. “Then one day (at age 11), I woke up and said ‘I want to sing country.’” And that she did Saturday, wowing the crowd with original songs Innocent Love (co-written with a friend) and her own Honesty and We’re Just Friends. She also covered the Zac Brown Band’s Chicken Fried and Sugarland’s Baby Girl. “I’m very happy with the audience’s reaction,”
she said. “They seemed to relate to my music.” Campoli said Shania and Carrie Underwood remain her favourites and inspiration but she does have a ‘secret’ desire. “It’s my dream to do a duet with Hunter Hayes,” she said. “I think we’d do In Another’s Eyes (popularized by Brooks and Tricia Yearwood).” After her win, Campoli said: “This is amazing, what a day. “It was definitely worth the drive and for sure I’ll be back next year.” As excited as she was to compete and win, Campoli said she has another motivation for coming to the Championship. “I was very excited on the drive down too,” she said. “Seeing people connecting through music — that’s one of the most satisfying things.”

All about the Wolfe Island ferry this time of year Correspondent
good work of the young people hired by MTO for the summer period to help make lining up for the Wolfe Island ferry and boarding it, if not a short, happy experience, at least a fairer one, which they did in good spirit and generally with a smile. And I named those students. In fact, in my enthusiasm, I also included the names of students who were with us last summer and, to top it off…..I left out the name of Queen’s student, Linay Repath, who WAS with us this summer. To her I extend my sincere apologies for the omission, and say once again to Linay, Camille, Pamela, Laura and Mike, THANK YOU.

EMC News- It is at this time of year, as the water recedes, that Islanders begin planning for the relocation of the Wolfe Islander to the winter dock. Some residents look forward to the move, as it means not a shorter run from the east end of the township, but line -up and parking ease etc. But without public transportation on the island, for many who live in and around the village and are without a vehicle and some cyclists it means they must arrange rides to and from the ferry or hitch a ride to get to work, school, appointments. And for all those who normally park and ride the ferry from the village, where coffee, breakfast and the newspapers are available, it means instead parking at the winter dock. Having a second car for many becomes an absolute necessity and arranging for pick up if you don’t. And of course we are all aware of the effects moving the ferry has on local business establishments and the anxiety it causes. It certainly means islanders must coordinate pick up times with young people who want to stay in the city after school for activities and sports, provide transportation for visitors coming to the island (without a car) for events, skating at the rink, youth programs, bird watching, night skies, hiking, etc. The winter dock is very efficient, parking is easier, loading and unloading is a roll on roll off process without delay , in fact sav-
ing time. MTO does provide basic amenities, telephone, cameras, a warm building and has increased lighting in the area. But it is a lonely place, a very lonely place. Moving there means more cars on the road, increased use of fuel, idling long periods ,environmental issues, village business anxiety etc. etc. Through their most recent study MTO determined that Wolfe Island needed a new second 75 car ferry, operating with the Wolfe Islander III, and eventually a bridge (?) shorter route (?), etc. All dependant on what happens in Kingston (3rd crossing, military, etc.)? Dare I say we’ve heard it all before. MTO continues to make improvements at both docks on the island and at Barrack street and provides a dependable ferry service, but that dependable ferry service does not adequately fulfill the growing needs of island residents, or of the island itself as a tourist destination, or as an international link to the USA, or for economic development growth. Moving the ferry to the winter dock is another irritation that elicits a variety of opinions for and against. However, have no fear. Wolfe Island does not shut down because the ferry moves… So as islanders watch water levels…. Visit www.wolfeisland.com and take note of the many activities and events that take place as fall begins and join us.. . You are welcome. Around Town: In last weeks paper.

Where were you 40 years ago this Friday? Craig Comment By Craig Bakay editorial@theheritageemc.ca
EMC Editorial — Any Canadian who was old enough to be able to remember at the time can probably tell you where they were 40 years ago Friday (Sept. 28, 1972). That was the day that Paul Henderson scored in the dying minutes to lead Team Canada to hockey victory in a series that had no name. It was a beautiful fall day as I remember it. There wasn’t a seat in any of the TV rooms at Saugeen-Maitland Hall, the University of Western Ontario’s only co-ed residence
where I lived. In fact, You couldn’t even get in the door of the B-unit TV room. So I did something I didn’t do very much in my university career — I went to chemistry class. You see, our chemistry professor was a huge hockey fan, and he had promised that anyone registered in his class would have first call on their seat during his class on that particular Thursday afternoon. The campus was deserted. I didn’t pass a single soul on the five-minute walk to chemistry class. The entire country had shut down to watch Game 8. The series was tied and this was a winner-take-all event. It was ironic too, in that we all believed a Canadian victory would be a slam-dunk. Several wake-up calls later, it all came down to a single game, and we were by no means certain that a Canadian victory was possible. The lecture theatre was
a cavern of a room, with double desks as I recall. But, there were televisions suspended from the ceiling at various locations, probably about a dozen of them, so that students could watch live demonstrations during class on what was at that time ‘state-of-the-art’ technology. The screens were black and white, and not all that large, but the guy I shared a desk with smuggled in a mickey which we passed back and forth during the first period. It didn’t look good at the end of the second, with Canada down 5-3. But (Phil) Esposito scored one and at the 10-minute mark, everybody’s mood started to change. Very shortly after that, (Yvan) Cournoyer scored to even things up. I remember the tension in that lecture theatre. No one said a word. All eyes were glued to the screens. The only sounds were the
collective sighs at nearmisses and close calls. And then . . . Cournoyer picks up a loose puck . . . passes to Esposito . . . his shot is blocked by Soviet goalie (Vladislav) Tretiak . . . Henderson scoops up the rebound and . . . Bedlam across the country. On the way back to Saugeen-Maitland, everything was different. People were skipping and jumping, smiling, laughing, congratulating each other. I ran into a friend from high school, a girl who mere weeks before wasn’t sure what hockey was, and greeted me with “wasn’t that fantastic?” Twenty years later, I interviewed Cournoyer about the 20th anniversary and he said something to the effect of “my only regret is that I wasn’t in Canada to watch it that day.” That’s OK Yvan, we realize you were busy at the time.

Code of dress EMC Editorial - Online comment boards lit up last week after news broke that Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yunel Escobar hit the field Saturday, Sept. 15 with an anti-gay slur written under his eyes. In the Jays’ game against the Boston Red Sox, Escobar appeared wearing eye-black stickers with the words “Tu Ere Maricon” scrawled on them. The Spanish phrase translates into “You are a f****t” and went unnoticed until a fan and season ticket holder, James Greenhalgh, posted close-up photos of the shortstop on Flickr. On Wednesday of last week, Escobar appeared in a news conference in New York City, where he issued an apology for his actions. The Jays organization suspended Escobar for three games and the salary he would have earned during those games was donated to You Can Play and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Some who commented on news boards accepted Escobar’s apology and felt the punishment appropriate. The apology fell flat for others who continued to condemn his actions. During the New York Press Conference Escobar said the words were intended as a joke and do not carry the same connotation in his culture. Joke or not, we at the EMC question why Escobar was permitted to wear personal messages, especially those not vetted by the organization, on his person while on the field. When working for many companies and organizations employees often sign a contract saying they will not present themselves in a way that would cast the company/organization in a negative light. Perhaps Escobar is being honest when he says he didn’t mean his words to be offensive. Where were the leaders of the organization to ask what the phrase meant and decide whether it was appropriate and in keeping with the Jays’ values? In our opinion when any player steps out onto the field they leave their own personal views and feelings at the door. You’re at work and representing the team/organization you signed with. Perhaps the Jays should put a policy in place stating that players are only to wear items approved by the organization. After all, many organizations/companies have dress codes.

Arden Legion honours it own By Craig Bakay Reporter
EMC News — The Arden Legion Branch 334 honoured its own Saturday night at its annual awards banquet. Guest speaker Zone Commander Dan Bush spoke on the Legion’s history. “The Legion was formed in Winnipeg more than 80 years ago to help World War I veterans,” he said. “Everyone in the Legion is a volunteer. “It began by only admitting veterans and service personnel but when it began to lose members (mostly due to age), it began allowing family members and now you don’t even have to be a family member to join.” Bush said the Legion assists veterans and their dependents, but it also exists to assist the community in which it’s located. That relationship is often reciprocated, he said, and nowhere is that more evident than in Arden. “The Arden branch really sup-
ports the community, even to the point of creating a convenience store to fill the need,” he said. “And when the branch needed help fixing the roof, the community helped out by buying the debentures.” The most popular award of the evening went to Ralph Steel, who received his 40-year pin. “We actually gave him his pin at the pig roast in the summer,” said membership chair Wanda Harrison. “It was also his 63rd wedding anniversary with his wife Vera.” Harrison also said the branch is experiencing a growth spurt with membership rising to 155 from 115 since February. Other honorees included Wayne Smith (35 years), Kay Knight and Fred Newlove (30 years). Norm Cunningham, Vicky Ditommaso and Dave Johnston received 20-year pins. Brad Morgan, Steve Morgan, Gary O’Donnell, Ken Smith and Isidore Deheme received 15-year pins. Gary Garnett received a 10-year pin and fiveyear pins went to Gord Brown,
Doug Charpentier, Brandon Devries, Danny Dewey, Geraldine Peterson, and George Steel. Joan Moore received a bar as past sports chair and Kim Scobie received a bar for past 1st vicepresident. The 2012 executive is as follows: David Moore, president; Stuart Mitchell, 1st vice-president; Peter Desroche, 2nd vice-president; Judy McClure, past president; Diane Tryan, tresurer; Lorraine Scobie, secretary; Malcolm Sampson, fundraising chair, Wanda Harrison, membership chair; Ken Scobie, poppy chair; Doug Squibb, sports chair. Other members of the executive include Tom Dewey, Jennifer Matson, Joan Moore, Elda Peterson, Beth Sampson, Chris Scott, Don Scott and Ian Tryon.
Forty-year member Ralph Steel is congratulated by Zone Commander Dan Bush and branch President David Moore in Arden Saturday.

Stealing their field of dreams By Kenneth Jackson Kjackson@theemc.ca
EMC Sports - A couple hours before kick-off the field is quiet. There’s not a soul around. The grass is green and maybe a little longer than it should be. The lines have been painted and soon the Frontenac Secondary School senior football team, the best around, and the other, Sydenham High School, not too
far behind, will take to the field. They’ll battle, on this day, to see who is best. But there’s another battle at hand. No matter how much they try it can’t be overcome by them. They are victims in a fight amongst adults. Children paying the ultimate price, like when two parents divorce in bitterness. The Ontario government has

stripped the secondary school teachers of their right to strike, bargain and, ultimately, is dictating to them. The province says they need to because times are tight. The teachers, left with little option, are beginning to take it out on the students. Not that they’ll say it like that but when you get down to brass tacks there’s no other way to describe it. Teachers in some parts of the province are taking away extra-

curricular activities. It’s called job action and basically the only one they have left. It’s expected to happen here in Kingston as well. At the game last Wednesday I ask a man near the sidelines what he thinks of it. “Well, the teachers don’t have much of a choice, do they?� he says to me but doesn’t really look at me. He’s focused on the game and I’m bugging him. He tells me he has a kid who plays. He says his jersey number. I look for him on the field but don’t see him. “OK. But it must be heartbreaking for your kid, eh?� I ask. “He understands,� the man replies. “Are you a teacher?� “No.� It’s only the second quarter and I think I had seen his son early in the first quarter but I keep looking for him throughout Frontenac’s destruction of Sydenham. Frontenac is too good on this day but Sydenham does show flashes of brilliance, especially hitting the gaps hard in their running game. At times, it’s impressive. Each down, even on special teams and each quarter, I don’t see the man’s kid. I then talk to another gentleman. His son is one of the coaches for Frontenac. He points to him. He’s proud of his son and says so. “It’s a shame,� he says about the possibility of the season ending prematurely.
I had attended all the football combines in Toronto and the camps (Combines are where you go to show off your talents). Apparently I was on a ranking list. I recall a coach from Guelph telling me I was 89th overall in Ontario and by position in the top 10. The list was made up by a man who goes by the name Ron Dias. I knew Dias but didn’t know he put me on a list. Then I got another letter. Then another. I still have them. There are about three dozen of them. I also got a lot of phone calls. My football dreams didn’t exactly turn out the way I would have liked but I fondly remember the fall of 1999. I remember when Blake Nill of the powerhouse St. Mary’s Huskies in Halifax sat across from me in the school cafeteria. I remember when his competitor at St. Francis Xavier University also came to the school and promised I’d at least dress every game. That’s a big deal for a first year player. I got all this because the high school games were played. As I watch the kids go through the plays I remember that time and how fortunate I was. I was able to be part of things I never could have been all because of football. It’s what drove me to go to school some days. Without it, and the other extracurricular activities, it’s what the wise man next to me says. A shame.
Too many things at stake for the kids he tells me. I say a gentlemen on the other side said his son understands why. “But I haven’t seen his son in at least three quarters. He says he plays but I haven’t seen him. I bet if he played every down he wouldn’t understand,� I tell the man. He nods. “I bet if he was No. 11 on Frontenac, who made that amazing catch for a touchdown in the first half, he wouldn’t want the season to end,� I say. It’s not just a game for these kids and especially not for a few team members on Frontenac. Several of them have legitimate chances of playing university football in Canada and if they have a good highlight tape, statistics and train well they may even get offered a full ride in the U.S. to play college ball. That’s big time. They could be on the brink of this happening. The only thing they need is a full season. Maybe a couple great highlights that catches the attention of a coach. For the few who have what it takes to get there, that’s all that matters. They live and breathe it. They’re getting letters in the mail right now from coaches trying to recruit them. I remember when I walked to the mailbox and got my first letter. It was from the then University of Western Ontario. I was blown away. I ran into the house to show my parents.

Also new for Chevrolet in 1950 was the new 2-speed Powerglide fully automatic transmission. Ford followed the next year with Fordomatic and Plymouth waited until mid-1954 before bringing out its fully automatic PowerFlite transmission. .

Two versions of Chevrolet’s famous overhead-valve six cylinder engine were available: a 216 cubic inch for 3-speed standard transmissions and a 235 cubic inch for cars equipped with Powerglide.

EMC Lifestyle - In a recent column, we featured the beautiful 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook convertible owned by Ron Clark of Caledonia, Ontario. Today, we look at his 1950 Chevrolet convertible, a car that stirs memories of the first car Ron ever owned: “Hi Bill, I bought my 1950 Chevrolet 4-door sedan from my grandmother in 1958 for $500.00. My grandfather had bought it new but soon stopped driving for health reasons. It had just over 11,000 miles

It still has factory undercoating and is in great shape with 35,000 miles on it.” Nineteen-fifty was an exciting year in the Chevrolet Division of General Motors with two new developments.

Inverary’s Murphy to open for J.P. Cormier at Sydenham Street United EMC News — A chance encounter in a Cape Breton music store has led to concert hook-up for Inverary’s Chris Murphy. Murphy, who is a fixture in the Frontenacs music scene both as a solo performer and with Crooked Wood bandmates Jon McLurg and Steve Kennedy, was on a tour of the Maritimes with another band, Piece of the Rock, when he bumped into musician friend, J. P. Cormier. “I was just killing time in the music store when he came in,” said Murphy. “J. P. had played on my album Finally Coming Home (which he recorded in Cape Breton after an invite from Cormier) and we’d talked about doing a concert
sometime but we’d never been able to hook up. “We’d only been able to communicate through texting and such.” Murphy said they chatted and Cormier mentioned he had a couple of dates planned in Ontario (in Cobalt and Haliburton) and wondered about the possibilities of playing a gig in Kingston. “I said ‘I’ll make some calls’ and then started thinking ‘why not do it myself, I’ve been around a bit,’” Murphy said. And so, on Wednesday, Oct. 17, Murphy will be opening for Cormier at Sydenham Street United Church. (Tickets are $20 and available at Perth Road Village General Store, Brian’s Record Option and Tara Foods in Kingston, at the door or by calling 613-353-2435.)

Provincial Flour Bombing competition EMC Events - The Kingston Flying Club restored an old tradition Sunday when it reinstated the Provincial Flour Bombing competition. Last held in 1931, the event involved pilots and their bomb aimers dropping small bags of flour on a target placed on the grass at Kingston Airport. The flour bombing competition are derived from the handheld bombs dropped from aircrafts during the First World War. (Inset) An actual aerial hand dropped bomb.

“This concert will be a bit of a departure for J. P.,” said Murphy. “He had been playing with The Elliot Brothers but this time he’ll be playing a duet with Emily Dingwall. “If you want to know more about him, he has an excellent website (jp-cormier.com).” For his own part, Murphy plans to play mostly cuts from Finally Coming Home, and will be joined by McClurg for a new song McClurg finished writing while accompanying Murphy on the down east tour. McClurg wrote 10 of the 12 songs on Finally Coming Home. Murphy said he chose Sydenham Street United for the venue because he has played there on several occasions before and “not only is it an esthetically pleasing hall, the acoustics are excellent.”

Singer explores the mysteries of music columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca
EMC Entertainment When Andromahi (Mahi) Raptis steps on stage, within a moment, you know you’re listening to a special singer. The 21-year-old Greek-Canadian KCVI grad is in her final year of a bachelor of arts in Voice Performance at the University of Toronto. Last week, she returned to Kingston to perform in Galalujah, a fundraiser for Bottle Tree Productions’ Sound of Music and the St. Andrew’s Music Fund. The young soprano hadn’t planned on a singing career, although she’s always been musical. She has fond memories, which include lots of music, of her childhood. “I remember singing a simple Greek folk song on the swings when we went to the park,” she said. “I remember my grandmother teaching me ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’ in the hallway of her house.” That same grandmother bought Raptis her first violin. The youngster took her first

for a very attentive approach.” She also improved her German language skills. For five weeks, she worked 12 hours a day in this intensive program. “I wanted to learn lieder skills to apply to whatever language I’m singing in,” she said. “It really was life changing. The director, Deen Larsen, showed us a different perspective on performing and how we see the world. These simple songs and beautiful melodies and accompaniments have subtle details. It’s important to pay attention to small details.” Next year: that’s an unknown. But her options are the best schools in the U.S. or Europe: New York, London, Munich, to name just three of many opportunities. She’ll be auditioning for select grad schools over the next few months. “A song is a mystery that unfolds and then becomes yours as you get to know the piece,” she said. “There is always so much more there.” That could also describe Raptis. It will be a joy to watch the mystery of her music unfold and discover the great talent within.

After applying and submitting recordings, academic transcripts and references, she was accepted at the Franz Schubert Institute to study lieder, the art of setting German romantic poems to music. “The level of detail required for lieder is so special,” said Raptis. “The nuances and the intimacy of lieder in a setting with just voice, piano and the simplicity of the stories called

She looks playful when she sings. “A teacher once compared me to a little puppy in terms of the amount of energy I have,” she said. “I took it as a compliment. I am so curious. I want to find out all of the details of what makes up the character or mood of a piece.” She clearly is acting the role required of each song. For her, it’s more than just notes to follow. “The arts are an expression and extension of ourselves,” she said. “Singing is telling stories in a heightened fashion. What I love about opera is that it has all the different arts combined: drama, music and visual arts. Opera is a wonderful world, and just like many things, it isn’t until you’ve tried it that you can appreciate it. It is so much more engaging and accessible than people assume.” There’s a playful twinkle in her eye during certain phrases of a song. Then a movement of her fingers, pointing the direction she’s imagining in the tune. Like that puppy her teacher once compared her to, she explores every corner and nuance of each piece she’s singing. The Galalujah audience jumped to its feet in ovation as soon as she finished. She later performed as part of the choir singing “Hallelujah” from Handel’s Messiah. Her next scheduled performance is in the chorus of Der Freischütz with Opera Atelier at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto at the end of October. Raptis’ finesse brought her an opportunity to train in Vienna this past summer. She wanted to challenge herself, but what she got was a life changing experience, she said.

to get some kind of role. She was cast as he female lead. “I was in disbelief,” she said. “Someone wanted to hear me sing?” Then she knew music was for her. She was involved in many other Kingston productions, such at Pirates of Penzance, Beauty and the Beast, and Guys and Dolls. Music became her art of expression. In her University of Toronto music program, she’s been studying with Professor Lorna MacDonald. She’s performed at Roy Thomson Hall with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. “Being a performer is often compared to a child playing dress-up,” said Raptis. “My job is to embody different characters and emotions to share with the audience. There is so much practice, research, language study and rehearsal behind the finished product, but when that is all done you get to be in another world. I try to relate the emotions of the piece to some experience that I have had where I felt similarly. So, I often see my music as linked to different memories.” At Galalujah, accompanied by Clare Gordon on piano, Rapits sang six solo pieces, including Gaetano Donizetti’s “In questo semplice modesto asilo,” Debussy’s “Romance,” and Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro.”
lesson at the age of nine. “My grandparents were always very encouraging of my music,” she said. “My grandma grew up in a very musical family. She took me to concerts. She’d come over and ask me to play what I’d learned each week. I was so lucky. She was so gracious, poised and elegant.” It looks like Raptis is taking after her. She even wore her grandmother’s earrings when she performed at Galalujah. She said her parents also influenced her approach to life and music. “My mother is a very strong, intelligent woman who has always insisted on excellence,” she said. “My dad, too, but in a different way.” The first teacher to take notice of the young singer’s talent was Anne-Lorraine Molloy at Martello Enrichment School. “She insisted I join the Cantabile Choirs of Kingston,” said Raptis. “She exposed her students to music in such an enthusiastic way.” When Raptis studied with Julie Mylks at the Kingston School of Music, the teacher introduced her to a new level of music. “She helped get me going in the right direction, and was the first to introduce me to classical singing.” In high school, Raptis auditioned for Urinetown, hoping

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age Drivers should look for more savings regardless of driver profile. Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While it’s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience. NEW DRIVERS Use of a ‘good student discount’ is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the
road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised. DRIVERS OVER 25 There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Don’t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company. EXPERIENCED DRIVERS An experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate. Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways
to save include changing your deductible – perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company. DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARS Mature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use. MORE TIPS Remember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record,
check with your insurance company to make sure you’re not still paying for that ticket or accident. If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that it’s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium. Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less. No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.

British lines never go out of style Car Counsellor Brian turner
EMC Lifestyle - An old friend, Michael Giroux (not in age but in years known) brought over his project car recently as he knew we shared an interest in all things British (wheels that is). His pride and joy, a 1962 Austin Healy 3000 MkII BT7 was enjoying its inaugural summer tour after a 14-year rebuild. The MkII’s were originally build from 1961-1962 by the British Motor Corp as a flagship model and could be had for the princely sum (back then) of around $3,700. Like many British sports cars of that era, they were advanced for their times with an extensive use of aluminum body panels, electric transmission overdrives, and even mounting points for optional seatbelts.
Mike’s Austin Healey was built as a left-hand drive and shipped from Britain to Montreal in April of ’62. It was trucked to The Sports Car Factory in Hallville in pieces in October of 1998 and was freed to the highways just last month. This was a body on frame vehicle and the body shop custom built a new frame and basically rebuilt the bottom six inches of the vehicle. The body panels were all repaired without filler and sanded to a very fine finish before paint. The interior fabric and trim was replaced with new as was every piece of chrome body décor and grille. The engine was disassembled and rebuilt and balanced by a shop in Cobden. Knowing he wanted this vehicle to last, Mike replaced every fastener, bolt, and nut he could with stainless steel, including the exhaust system. That and an electronic ignition system were about the only modifications done by Mike in an effort to keep the car as close to its original new condition as possible. The 3.0 L inline six engine is
fed by two SU carburetors and produces an amazing 150 HP. This might not seem peppy, but in a car that only weighs 2465 lbs., it’s enough to force you to keep a tight grip on the steering wheel and move this 2-door along in a spirited manor. One of the only kinks left to sort out is the fine tuning of the twin carbs, but even though these can be adjusted by the hands of an expert to make the Austin purr like a kitten, Mike and other classic and antique vehicle owners are running into a host of fuel system problems that can’t be resolved with a screwdriver. The biggest cause of damage to these chromed chariots (other than rust and teenagers) is ethanol or ethyl alcohol that’s found in pretty much every gas station in the province. While the high concentration E85 or 85 per cent ethanol fuel is hard to find in Canada, E10 or E15 or low alcohol content gas is pumped pretty much everywhere. If a gasoline brand does have ethanol content, the dispensing pump should be labeled with that information.
If you operate a vehicle that was manufactured prior to the mid 1980s you should exercise caution if you want to use ethanol blended gasoline. Older vehicles used fuel system components (such as seals and hoses) that were not designed to be compatible with ethanol-blended gasoline. Use of ethanol-blended gasoline in any vintage or classic vehicles is not recommended. Avoid storing ethanol-blended gasoline or conventional gasoline from one season to the next. During spring and fall, the volatility of gasoline is changed on a frequent basis and too much or too little vapour pressure can cause operational problems. Some manufacturers recommend that ethanol-blended gasoline not be used in their marine engines. Prior to using ethanolblended gasoline, the customer
In vehicles built before the mid ’80s, ethanol can weaken fuel pumps, damage carbs and injectors, and create crystalline deposits that can gum up the works. Verity Conrad, a communications advisor with Shell Canada provided some helpful tips for collector and antique car owners: “Shell does not currently add any Ethanol to V-Power in Canada so if a customer does not want Ethanol blended gasoline in a market where we blend in Ethanol they can use V-Power. Not all markets in Canada have Ethanol blended gasoline, in Shell’s case we normally post “may contain up to 10% Ethanol” at sites that can receive ethanol blended gasoline. If the site does not have these stickers at the pump then that site does not carry Ethanol blended gasolines.
should check their owner’s manual or contact their equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility. For your boat, Shell continues to provide customers with an alternative to ethanol-blended gasoline through its premium product, V-Power, which will not contain ethanol.

Sensory treats, not tricks, at Pumpkinferno Mark Bergin columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca
EMC Events - If you’re looking for something special and a little, or a lot, different for Thanksgiving weekend or throughout October, head to Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village. The Parks Canada site does things right. But I think this time they’ve outdone themselves. Their motto for the event is “Ignite Your Imagination.” That’s no understatement. The numbers alone are scary: five transport trailers brought over 4,000 pumpkins to the off-site staging area. “This whole project was fun,” said Liam Mills, the lead designer. “But I was kind of scared when I first saw the transports full of pumpkins.” He stepped into the project in the spring, right after graduation from the graphic design program at St. Lawrence College in Kingston. He’s developed new skills on this massive venture. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him involved in something like a Pink Floyd or Lady Gaga tour in the fu-
ture. This guy has talent, and he had a creative team with which to work. Over the summer, 5,500 combined hours of labour went into the endeavour. The level of organization to coordinate this project was intense. I visited the preparation area in late August. It took me a while to grasp the scope, especially when staring at more than 4,000 pumpkins in various stages of development. Everything about Pumpkinferno oozes Halloween. Before being moved onto the Upper Canada Village grounds, the pumpkins were housed in a mysterious off-site preparation area. Only staff involved in the project got to see things. And, there were 13 members on the creative team that pulled this together: three graphic designers and 10 artists to carve and arrange the pumpkins. I couldn’t think of a better summer job for these college and university students. There, in an appropriately secluded staging area, the graphic designers and carvers worked since May. They’ve created nothing short of a spectacular Halloween display. It looked like preparations for a giant concert, except, instead of people, there was an endless array of pumpkins. All needing to be carved. Af-
ter the carving, special lighting within each pumpkin had to be arranged. Some of their creations comprise several pumpkins. For example, there’s a full size crocodile made from about 20 pumpkins. Or how about the 50-foot dragon, complete with scales, made from 200 pumpkins. The graphic designers created the working plan for each display. In the morning, the team would meet and walk through the process of the day’s work. “Nothing like this had been done before,” said Mills. “So we all learned a lot on the go. After they pumpkins were carved, they had to be arranged and stored so we could fit the themes together.” As the carved pumpkins slowly returned to the tractor trailers, maps were used to sort where each pumpkin was stored, according to theme. The themes are varied. A few are Halloween-oriented. There are cultural themes and animal themes. I don’t want to spoil surprises by giving too much away. The awe of surprise is worth the wait to see this for yourself. In case you’re wondering about rotting pumpkins, the 4,000-plus pumpkins are artificial. They look real and come in many shapes and sizes. The staff hopes to save many of the pumpkins for next year. Once

playfulness.” In addition to the more than 4,000 pumpkins carved by the summer staff at Upper Canada Village, the site has also sent many real pumpkins to the local school boards for classes and students to carve. “We’ll have between 500 and 1,000 of these on display, rotating new ones in each week,” said Le Clair. While you’re there, you can grab a snack or sit down to an enjoyable meal. The village will have its own chip truck near the main entrance. You’ll be able to buy Halloweenthemed munchies like a mummy-dog-on-a-stick, brains and bones poutine, or spooky soup or stew. Maybe even a spider croissant. The Village Store Pantry will be open and
there’ll be a Tent O’ Treats just outside the entrance. Willard’s Hotel offers yummy meals in a pleasant table-service setting. If you’re hoping to eat at Willard’s, reservations (613-5430660) are recommended. I’ve seen the crew at work in the daytime. Am I going back to see the final result at night? You bet. This is one of the best new tourist attractions in the province. Don’t miss it. The show opens on Saturday, Oct. 5 and runs throughout October. Don’t worry about weather, this outdoor show runs rain or shine. It could even be more fun on a drizzly or foggy night. You’re welcome to take photos while you’re there, but tripods are not allowed. Also, if you want good photos, turn off your camera’s flash. It will be bothersome to everyone around you. Flash will also ruin the mood of your photo. Put your camera on a high ISO (night time) setting and shoot without flash to see the scene as it really is. Cost: Ages 13 and over, $10; 6-12 year olds and seniors, $7; under 5, free.

“My favourite part is seeing it all come to life,” said Mills, as he took a break from the assembly stage of the project last week. Susan Le Clair, manager of customer service, explained that there’s lots of room for growth and new displays and themes in future years. “This is the biggest new fall event of this kind in Ontario,” she said. You’ll see more than 30 artistic themes during the 40-minute walking tour of the village. Wear comfortable shoes. Don’t hesitate about bringing younger children.
“It’s all family friendly,” said Le Clair. “It’s safe to bring little ones. It’s not too scary. Adults will be amazed at the artistic element. With some displays we’ve added other props, music or sound effects. It’s like an art exhibit.” She explained that the artistry and beauty of the exhibits will appeal to everyone, regardless of age. “The themes will surprise people,” said Le Clair. “With some of the displays there’s visitor engagement: you may have to find the Jack-O-lantern or play a word game. Families or friends can play together. There’s a sense of humour to some of the themes. It’s very entertaining. I think having young graphic designers and carvers really influenced the

included his meals. So by the time we had eaten, cleaned up the kitchen and hauled out chairs to circle the mounds of leaves, nightfall had settled in. We would start out with heavy jackets on, to ward off the chill of the fall evening. My oldest brother Everett was always in charge of the matches. He had the lighting of the mounds down pat. He rolled sheets of the Renfrew Mercury into tight cones, and he lit the paper, setting it ablaze. That way he could poke the paper deep into the mounds of leaves, making sure it burned from the inside out. Very clever, was my brother Everett. We sat on the kitchen chairs, circling the burning mound, but well back from the fire, we five children and Mother. Father chose to stay in the house reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. If marshmallows were in existence back then, we certainly didn’t know about them. And it is doubtful we could have afforded them anyway. So the only enjoyment we got was sitting on the chairs and watching the raked leaves go up in smoke. Mother always took her mouth organ out on those nights, and she expected us to sing along to whatever she was playing. Emerson refused. Audrey with her clear, sweet
voice was the only one who could carry a tune, and so she and Mother provided what entertainment there was. I would sit on the chair, and listen, and watch the flames rise towards the sky and wonder why Father couldn’t see the sheer joy of the evening. The old iron pump was right in the middle of the yard, and although Mother said there was absolutely no need for it, Father made sure there were several pails on the pump platform just in case the blaze got out of hand. By the time the fire was raging, we took off our jackets as the heat came at us in waves. It didn’t take long for the piles of leaves to be burnt right to the ground. And I often wondered if it was worth the effort. When it was all over, and we had hauled the kitchen chairs back into the house, Father would let out a big sigh, as if he carried the cares of the world on his shoulders. He would go out to the yard for the first time since supper was over, and he would pump many pails of water, and pour it over the remnants of the burning leaves. He was taking no chances that the barns and the log house that had been there for three generations would go up in smoke!

Don’t Be That Guy: campaign targets alcohol-related sexual assaults By Kristen Coughlar
kcoughlar@perfprint.ca
EMC News - The poignant messages that were at the centre of a 2011 campaign targeting potential perpetrators of alcohol-related sexual assault are back. Last Wednesday, the Greater Kingston Area Safe & Sober Community Alliance re-launched the Don’t Be That Guy campaign. As part of the campaign, a series of three posters will appear on/in bus interiors, bus shelters, licensed establishments, St. Lawrence College, Queen’s University, etc. “The focus is on sexual assault involving alcohol and is intended to address potential perpetrators as opposed to the victims. It’s a simple message that tells men ‘don’t sexually assault’ rather than a message for women to not be sexually assaulted,” said Tanya Beattie, a public health promoter with KFL&A Public Health. “It’s also a call to our whole community to consider how we think about alcohol-related sexual assault, consent and where responsibility should lie on this issue.” According to statistics, in 90 per cent of reported sexual assault cases the victim is female (Metrac.org), and in reported
sexual assaults, 97 per cent of sex offenders are men (Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics). Deputy Chief Brian Cookman with the Kingston Police hailed the campaign as “unique” and “brilliant.” “Education and awareness historically has always been about the victim or potential victim. This campaign turns that idea on its ear, goes 180 degrees, and actually takes that light and puts it squarely on the person who is responsible for the crime,” he said. This campaign seeks to inform people, especially men, that sex without consent is sexual assault, and that a woman cannot legally give content while under the influence. Mayor Mark Gerretsen, who years ago managed a Limestone City bar, said he has seen first-hand incidents where men try to take advantage of women who have been drinking. He said we can’t rely on others to always be on the lookout for these types of incidents. “I think that this campaign in particular, is so fitting because it is challenging men out there to do the stand-up thing and to not be that guy,” he said. “It’s always difficult to approach women…and this might seem [like] an attractive way for men
to handle that situation, but it’s wrong and I think that we have to make sure we send that message in particular to the younger males, in their early 20s, who are engaged in a lot of drinking, heavy drinking, and in particular pushing a lot of alcohol on women of the same age.” Given that first-year female university and college students are at the highest risks for sexual assault during the first eight-weeks of school (Canadian Women’s Federation), getting the messages of the Don’t Be That Guy campaign into the schools is a strong focus of the campaign. “I think this campaign, Don’t Be That Guy, brings a really important message. Most men are not potential rapists or attackers. They often find themselves in situations where they are pressured to be manly or prove themselves in front of others. This helps show that being a real man isn’t about how many girls you hook up with,” said Leigh McGrade, a member of the Queen’s Sexual Violence on Campus Awareness Committee. McGrade noted that men have the power to create a safer environment for women in Kingston. “The women in this community have already been

Kingston Writersfest presents a morning of festival fund for kids and families Waterfront. “We decided that we wanted to make a whole morning of events; not just of presentations by authors, but also games,” Simonds explained. The free Kids on Sunday event will kick off with a book swap, where children can exchange a book they’ve already read for a new literary adventure. “Kids who read go through books at a great pace, so they can bring something they’ve already read and pick up something that’s new to them,” Simonds said. Children will also have the opportunity to step into the role of an author, creating their own book. Volunteers will be on hand with all the supplies needed—paper, markers,

EMC Events – Studies show that reading for pleasure is declining among children and families, says Merilyn Simonds. As the artistic director of the Kingston Writersfest, she and the rest of the festival committee are hoping to change that. “We’re just really excited to make sure that families do read and to provide opportunities for them to discover how much fun it is,” Simonds said. One such opportunity comes in the form of the festival’s new Kids on Sunday event, a free morning of readings, activities and games for children and families this Sunday in the Islandview Room of the Holiday Inn Kingston
kiddie scissors, and glue— for participants to express their creativity. “[That activity is] actually based around our first presenter, who is Wallace Edwards, a fabulous illustrator and author from Yarker. He has a new book called Uncle Wally’s Old Brown Shoe, so kids will be encouraged to tell stories about shoes that have been important in their lives,” Simonds explained. Kids will also get a visit from the author/illustrator himself, who will share his drawing talents and reveal how he comes up with his stories. Drawing and storytelling with Edwards will take place from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and is suitable for children 4-8 years old. As if that weren’t enough, Sunday’s festivities will also include word

friendly events. “I think that’s the way that most parents get their information, through the school and through their children,” she said. “I hope we’re going to be pleasantly surprised and there’s going to be a big crowd.” Simonds said there is tons of research detailing the emotional and intellectual benefits of reading. Not only that, but its fun.
She hopes children and families will discover this through the Kids on Sunday event. “It’s great to dive into the world of a book and explore places that you could never go but you can go on the page,” she said. Kids on Sunday starts at 9:30 a.m. Sunday and runs until 12 p.m. Don’t forget your book for the book swap.

games inspired by Edwards’ Uncle Wally, and Kevin Sylvester’s Neil Flambé. “Neil Flambé is this 14-year-old super chef who gets involved in all kinds of shenanigans and mysteries,” Simonds explained. Sylvester will serve as the event’s second presenter and will wrap up the mornings festivities. He will read from his latest book, Neil Flambé and the Crusader’s Curse, and will show kids how he makes his character come alive on the page. Sylvester’s presentation will take place from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and is geared to children 8-12 years old. The first 50 kids to attend will receive a Neil Flambé inspired chef’s hat. Simonds noted that bookmarks were sent home through the festival’s new Authors@School program detailing the Kids on Sunday event. She is hopeful this will prove to be an effective means of making families more aware of the Kingston Writersfest and its family-

It may not be ‘Dredd’-ful, but film’s not a must-see either Mary Cook
EMC Entertainment - Dark, gritty, dirty and violent. That’s the world Dredd lives in, and that’s the world that came to life on the big screen. In a future not that far away 800 million people live in Mega City 1 a lawless concrete By JoHn tUcKER jungle that spans from Washington to Boston. The only people fighting to stem the tide of anarchy are the men and women of the Hall of Justice. They are the Judges, and their best is Dredd (Karl Urban). It’s a routine day when Dredd is assigned rookie Judge Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) for assessment. Cassandra failed basic training, but she’s been pushed through because or her powerful mutant psychic ability. Dredd doesn’t like it but orders are orders. Their first call is to a 200-storey mega structure called Peach Trees. Three people are dead, and when

anger, and he never takes off the helmet. He is perfect. Olivia Thirlby is relatively new to me, and while this might not been the kind of film that showcases acting talent, I liked her. She balances Urban really well, and manages to kick some butt of her own. Lena Headey is fantastic. Ma Ma is an absolutely vile human being – a truly despicable piece
of trash with no regard for human life. Headey doesn’t hesitate or hold back, but throws herself completely into the role to create a great movie villain. For what it is, Dredd is a good movie. If you find yourself flipping through the channels, and it happens to be on it’s definitely worth watching. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

My Take
Dredd and Anderson investigate it leads to a drug bust. As they attempt to take in a suspect massive steal blast doors close the entire building off. Peach Trees is run by Madeline ‘Ma Ma’ Madrigal (Lena Headey). She controls the flow of SloMo a new drug that makes users perceive reality at a fraction of its normal speed. The last thing she wants are a couple of Judges questioning one of her people. That means Dredd and Anderson will have to fight their way through 200 levels of Hell in order to survive. Dredd wasn’t my first choice this weekend, but due to circumstance and time constraints it was the movie I found myself watching. Dredd is a dark, ultra violent film with a minimum of dialogue. In other words it was exactly what Dredd should be. It’s a tight story with intense action, and it stays true to the original comic book. The thing is, as good as Dredd is, it wasn’t anything special. I didn’t walk away feeling this was a must-see film. For me Dredd would be a great movie to find on TV when you are bored and looking for mindless entertainment. Dredd is not a complicated character by any stretch. He’s certainly not an emotionally taxing character to play. Nonetheless Karl Urban is awesome as the main character. He has the gravelly voice, the constant sense of righteous

Kingston’s theatre community comes together to present unique theatrical experience By Kristen Coughlar
kcoughlar@perfprint.ca
EMC Entertainment – A few years ago Brett Christopher helped stage the Gladstone Variations in Toronto, a found-space theatre production featuring four plays simultaneously staged at the Gladstone Hotel. “It was a blockbuster smash, runaway hit,” said Liam Karry. “There were lineups around the block…it was one of the biggest things that’s happen in
Toronto’s cultural landscape in about 80 years.” Now, Christopher, Theatre Kingston’s artistic producer, is helping launch a similar project in Kingston. Dubbed The Library Chronicles, the project features six local theatre companies— Domino Theatre, Theatre Kingston, Blue Canoe Productions, Single Thread Theatre Company and the King’s Town Players—which have come together to produce a single, cohesive theatrical experience at
the central branch of the Kingston, Frontenac Public Library. Five playwrights with local ties, including Jill Connell, Alex Dault, Ned Dickens, Michael Payne and Judith Thompson, came on board to pen four original plays that will be staged simultaneously and move throughout the library. “The fact that you’ve got five theatre companies and all kinds of Kingston talent coming together to produce one show, that’s almost unprecedented in the Kingston theatre scene,” said Liam Karry, publicity coordinator for The Library Chronicles and a producer with Single Thread The-
atre Company. Each play is its own distinct story; however, all are bound by a common theme: library. The Library Chronicles will stage two performances each night until Oct. 20, giving audiences the opportunity to catch two plays in one visit to the Library. General admission is $20. “Each audience cluster is going to have a guide that is going to lead them through as the play is happening,” explained stage manger Shelby Arnold. It will be something different than your typical theatre experience. “It’s like an IMAX theatre experience but with live the-
atre. Everything around you is affecting how you interact with the show, she said. Kingston is such a good theatre community and I think this is a next step. I think this is something that audiences here have been waiting for.” Karry agreed, noting that he believes Kingston is ripe for this type of theatre experience, and that this could lead to even bigger and better things. “Think of all the crosspollination that could happen with all of these different artists who don’t normally meet now meeting and interacting. It’s just fantastic, he said. We’re still in the beginning
stages but the idea with some of the collaborators is that this is going to be the first of many cross-company collaborations in the city.” The Library Chronicles has been developed in partnership with the Kingston Writersfest, and with the support of the Kingston Arts Council and Kingston, Frontenac Public Library. Tickets are available at the Grand Theatre Box Office, 218 Princess St., 613-5302050, www.kingstongrand. ca. A small number of tickets may be available at the door. Performances take place each night at 7 p.m.
The Library Chronicles runs now until Oct. 20 at the central branch of the Kingston, Frontenac Public Library.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper
With the wind at their backs By Kenneth Jackson Kjackson@theemc.ca
EMC News - The bell tolls seven times atop City Hall and signs start to go up. One says “sex without consent = sexual assault.” Another screams a little louder: Take Back the Night. A women’s voice comes in over the speakers saying they’re about to begin. They’re going to have speeches and then march through the streets of downtown Kingston and be heard. Be seen on this Thursday evening. Dozens of people are here with more trickling in by the minute. Night is near, the wind but a light breeze off the lake. The voices of women, gathered in little groups chatting, bounce off each other. Soon the crowd will be still and hear from a few brave souls. A woman holding a young child stands alone, inches from a microphone propped up by a stand within the park across from City Hall. Everyone else looks in her direction. She tells her story in a poem
she wrote. The poem describes how one night, one instance and one look from “him” her nightmare began. She’s not dreaming and can’t wake up. This monster is real. Her story stops you in your tracks. Frozen. She’s not alone, not on this night. The breeze off the lake is gaining strength. You feel it. One after another brave women tell their story and some who can’t have their story read by someone else. One woman says she’s not a victim but a survivor. Then the march begins. Up Brock Street and across Clergy Street and down Princess Street, before making its way back to the park. When they do return the wind is stronger. Maybe it does that every night. Maybe, on this night, it’s gained strength for entirely different reasons. That’s the point, said Michelle Lamarche of the Kingston Interval House. “The more of us who are out

She said the demonstration has been around for years. “In terms of the history, God how many years has it been going, well over 30 years. There’s a real history of women coming together one day a
year to reclaim the streets, reclaim the sidewalks, reclaim their lives and one chance for them to feel safer because they are in numbers,” she said. “It’s also about creating a general awareness of sexual violence and all the different types of violence against women.” Mary Rita Holland, who
ran in the last provincial election, was also on hand. She said women tend to be afraid of politics because “patriarchy still exists.” It’s something she’s trying to change one door knock at a time, as she canvasses neighhourhoods to chat about the issues.
“This is one of the main reasons I am involved in politics. I feel in general, and felt during the campaign, that women’s issues are not well represented in politics. I think there are a lot of young women who have a story to tell and want to be well represented,” she said.

Say "hi" to the oil guy
aND get the Real FaCtS about oil heat.
Benefits of Oilheat -
Safer Than you Think... Today’s Oilheat Oilheat, natural gas, propane and electricity; all of these fuels are used safely in millions of homes every day. But is one fuel safer than another? This is a concern we hear most frequently from consumers. Let’s face it. The worst-case scenario resulting from an oil mishap is far less daunting than the worst-case scenario from a gas mishap. The chemical properties of natural gas (95% methane) and propane, also a gaseous hydrocarbon, make them potentially dangerous. Gas Line Leaks & Risk of Explosion: Gas is volatile. The biggest hazard of a gas leak is an explosion that is capable of levelling a house. When gas builds up in an enclosed area, it becomes extremely volatile. Gas leaks OUTSIDE the home are dangerous as well. Oilheat is non-volatile. It will NOT explode, ignite or generate hazardous, life-threatening fumes except in extreme circumstances. And while the chances of an oil release from today’s corrosion-resistant storage tanks (made from fibreglass and polyethelene) are next to NIL, should a release occur, there have been no deaths or injuries associated with leaking oil tanks. Equipment Malfunctions & Carbon Monoxide: The US Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that utility gas home heating systems are the leading cause of carbon monoxide deaths in the USA. Natural gas and propane create CO first, smoke second. Unless you have a properly functioning CO2 detector, there is no warning that this lethal, colourless, odourless gas is present. Oilheat is safer when it comes to carbon monoxide emissions. Should an oilheat equipment system malfunction, it would create a great deal of smoke BEFORE creating carbon monoxide. The smoke serves as an early warning signal. Regardless of the type of fuel you use, a CO detector should be installed in every home, and every heating system should be inspected regularly by a qualified heating technician. At the end of the day, is there anything more important that the safety of your family?
DID YOU KNOW?
In order to ignite heating oil, it must be heated above 140 degrees, the temperature at which it begins to vapourize. In contrast, when natural gas or propane leaks, even at room temperature an explosive mixture of air and gas can form rapidly. *From the Technical Standards & Safety Authority’s statistical report on fuels

Autumn is the time for baking with apples Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW
EMC Lifestyle - Now that fall is officially here, the cool, sunny days are just right for a family outing to visit one of the many apple orchards in Eastern Ontario. While you’re there, ask the orchard staff to recommend which apples are best for eating and which types are better for baking. For this Apple Cinnamon Braid, you’ll need two or three baking apples. The recipe starts with the dough cycle in your bread-making machine, then finishes in the oven. Shaping the dough into a braid is very easy. Give the recipe a try now, and you’ll want to make it again for your guests on Thanksgiving weekend. This bread is nice with breakfast, with coffee or for dessert. Apple Cinnamon Braid Dough 2/3 cup water 3 tbsp. margarine or butter, softened
3 tbsp. white sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast Filling 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced 1 tbsp. white sugar 1 tbsp. flour 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. margarine or butter Place the ingredients for the dough into your bread machine in the order given. Select the Dough cycle. While the machine is working, prepare the apples. Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a microwave-safe bowl, and let sit for 15 minutes. Microwave the apple mixture on High for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring at one-minute intervals. When the apples are soft and syrupy, the filling is done. Set it aside to cool. When the dough is ready, remove it from the bread machine. Place it on a lightly floured surface, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes so it will be easier to work with. On the floured surface,
roll the dough into a rectangle 13x8”. That’s about 3 hand widths long and 2 hand widths wide. Trim the edges of the dough, if necessary, to get the shape. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, grease the foil, then place the dough on it. Spoon the filling down the middle of the rectangle, so that the centre third of the dough is
ing baking. To shape the braid, first make cuts in the long side of the dough. Each cut should be 1 inch apart, and extend from the outer edge of the dough in to the edge of the filling. Next, starting at one end of the rectangle, fold a strip of dough diagonally over the
filling. Now, fold a strip of dough from the other side so that it overlaps the first strip in the centre. Continue, alternating sides, so that the filling is completely covered. Cover the dough with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until double. Use a ruler to measure the height of the braid before and during the rising to tell when it’s ready.
Bake at 375F for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. When the bread is done, use the aluminum foil to transfer it to a rack. Slide the foil out from under the braid, and let it cool. Slice to serve.
covered. Don’t be concerned if the apples are piled up. They’ll settle dur-
