EMC Events - The 182nd Kingston and District Fall Fair was held at the Memorial Centre fairgrounds Thursday through Sunday. Ontario’s second longest running fair had something for everyone to enjoy, from the midway to the demolition derby to live music, crafts, vendors and culinary arts. It remained true to its agricultural roots hosting cattle shows, 4H competitions, horse and tractor pulls, livestock, poultry, fruit and vegetable competitions as well.

Downtown Kingston says casino represents losing hand for Kingston

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – An influential business group has laid its cards on the table, urging Kingston to reject a casino.

At a board meeting last week, the Downtown Kingston Business Improvement Area (BIA) passed a resolution that bluntly recommends city council “turn down the possibility of hosting a casino.”

The board’s unanimous vote instead urged civic leaders to focus on attracting a convention centre to Kingston’s North Block

Tale of 2 bids: K-Rock Centre’s management contract up for renewal

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – Two of the biggest arena management firms in North America want a piece of Kingston’s entertainment market.

But only one will be chosen to manage the K-Rock Centre for the next five years.

Councillors were expected to debate and vote on the front-running bidders – SMG or Global Spectrum – at their meeting this week. A city staff evaluation committee that reviewed the competing bids gave the edge to Global Spectrum’s business plan, which could leave current arena manager SMG on the sidelines.

The powerhouse Philadel-

e

w o n

phia-based firms submitted comparable profit targets, projected at just over one million dollars for the first year even though the figure has not been reached since the sports and entertainment venue opened in 2008. SMG also sweetened its bid by offering a minimum profit guarantee of $700,000 a year, while Global Spectrum did not.

However, the committee favoured Global’s bid based on its promise to deliver a better variety of acts, improved food and beverage quality, greater customer satisfaction, expanding the arena’s sales and marketing reach, and more community engagement. Councillors have long complained about the arena’s food quality and pricing, and

the lack of partnerships with community stakeholders to promote the arena in the region.

“SMG did not provide the committee with confidence that these matters would be appropriately addressed in an effective manner,” according to a report by Denis Leger, commissioner of transportation, properties and emergency services, who oversees the flagship arena.

The contract bidding war was triggered earlier this year by council’s refusal to renew SMG’s five year management deal.

“What we are looking for is the best deal for taxpayers and the City of Kingston,” said mayor Mark Gerretsen, who supported a competitive

bidding process.

A third firm, RG Properties Ltd. of British Columbia, made a bid as well but the committee said its lease-type business model would “relinquish too much control, authority and decision-making to the proponent.” Staff said RG’s proposal lacks accountability to the city, and removed it from the short list.

The remaining players, SMG and Global Spectrum, manage dozens of stadiums, theatres, concert halls and convention centres. Global, which also owns the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, currently manages the John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario and General Motors Centre in Oshawa. SMG manages 1.7 million spectator seats

including the Superdome in New Orleans and Astrodome in Houston.

Staff say both companies vying for Kingston’s 5,200seat venue have similar proposals, but different ways to achieve their financial targets.

The review committee liked Global’s facility management and community engagement strategy, even though SMG’s financial proposal is judged superior.

“Council has to assess and determine where it wants to put its emphasis on,” Leger wrote.

It adds up to a tough choice for councillors, who must decide whether to stay with the status quo or bring in a new venue operator. SMG’s current contract expires Novem-

ber 30.

The city would have to move swiftly to negotiate a final contract with Global Spectrum should its contract proposal get the nod from council September 18. It would mean bringing in new staff to run the city-owned arena. If SMG is selected, the transition to a new contract would be far less disruptive to staff, arena operations and the current concert calendar.

K-Rock Centre’s contract review committee was comprised of Leger, community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle, senior legal counsel Alan McLeod, cultural services director Brian McCurdy and recreation and leisure director Wally Ferris.

ally or socially.

The downtown group, which represents about 750 business owners, says Kingston would be better suited to developing funding models to construct a convention centre through a possible private partnership.

The board says work on adding convention facilities to the downtown core has been stalled since the casino debate arose earlier this year. It wants to get the project back on track.

Mayor Mark Gerretsen says the BIA’s opposition is just one piece of the larger puzzle in helping council determine whether a privately-run gambling facility would be a good fit for

the city.

“We are still looking forward to getting information from KEDCO and I understand the Chamber of Commerce is doing some soliciting with businesses they represent, which is the entire city.”

Councillors are expected to make a decision on the casino question on October 2.

Meanwhile, a delegation

from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) was scheduled to appear at council September 18 to explain the new casino business model and to answer political questions around the viability and morality of its revamped business plan. The OLG has carved the province into 29 zones – each of them could qualify for one casino but only if the host municipal-

ity supports it. Municipalities have been given until this fall to express an interest in being a host city before the province makes a final decision on the host communities and private casino operators.

After a conference call with OLG executives this summer, the downtown business association learned that once a community agrees to be open to

the idea of a casino it is the OLG that sets the parameters and will view, evaluate and accept a proposal.

Kingston’s proposed outdoor smoking ban goes to council for final vote

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

“The question comes up as to ‘What’s the next step?’ in terms of de-normalizing smoking,” said Dr. Ian Gemmill, the area’s chief medical officer, during his March presentation to council.

The committee was initially given until next summer to study the proposed outdoor smoking ban and make recommendations to council.

However, the outcome could be decided much sooner.

The proposal bylaw is expected to go city council for a final decision, possibly in October.

Some of the proposed outdoor smoking restrictions remain contentious, including the three-metre distance to smoke away from commercial store fronts like those on Princess Street. That would effectively push smokers off the sidewalks, which are about three metres wide.

Resident Charles O’Neill says while he has no problem restricting smoking around parks and playgrounds, he urged civic leaders to scrap the three-metre rule.

“The last time I checked it is still legal to smoke in this country,” the 70 year old military veteran wrote in a letter to city bylaw officials.

O’Neill says the rights of smokers are being trampled.

“These rights we fought for and preserved are the same ones you in council enjoy and take for granted every day.”

Dr. Gemmill says the three metre zone wasn’t part of the health board’s original proposal to council, but was added based on public complaints. Doorway smoke wafting into buildings is now the most common complaint to the health unit.

Some committee members suggested that instead of imposing a blanket smoking ban in all parks and playgrounds, a 10 to 30 metre no-smoking zone around the areas where families congregate might be a better compromise.

When the bylaw arrives at council, it can be further amended, rejected or approved as is.

EMC News – Kingston has moved one step closer to banning smoking in a variety of outdoor public places.

The city’s administrative policies committee approved a draft bylaw that would ban smoking on municipal property such as parks, playgrounds, splash pads, sports fields seating areas of stadiums and beaches. It also proposes a no-smoking rule within nine metres of municipal buildings and three metres from the entranceways to private buildings such as stores and restaurants.

The committee has added another location to the expanded bylaw – no smoking around bus shelters. The decision followed a sparselyattended public meeting on September 13. About eight speakers addressed the committee, most of them in favour of the ban.

The city’s recent online public survey also generated strong support to regulate

outdoor smoking. Of more than 1,600 people who responded to the survey, results ranged from 68 percent who support a ban on smoking in parks, to 79 percent who want smoking outlawed in playgrounds. As well, 80 percent of respondents favour a nine-metre no smoking zone around public buildings, and 78-percent want smoking prohibited within three metres of workplaces and other publicly-accessible businesses.

The smoking debate started with a March 6 council motion instructing the committee to explore tougher rules around smoking in a bid to reduce exposure to second hand smoke and promote healthy role models for children. The Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington public health unit supports the initiative. Public health officials say 80 other cities have already taken steps to regulate outdoor smoking, which exceeds the requirements of the province’s indoor smoking law.

Art in the Westport countryside

EMC Lifestyle - Join the likes of French impressionist painters Monet and Renoir and the Canadian Group of Seven on Sept.

The event is open to artists from far and wide.

En plein air is a French expression meaning in the open air.

and Chaffey’s Locks in the east, north to Smiths Falls and westward to Westport.

“The fall is perfect for Paint the Rideau,” said Ferrell. “The colours in the region are beautiful. Artists abound in the area.

It’s fun for families and friends to come and spend the day enjoying the autumn outdoors.”

Artists bring their own materials and can choose any place in the Rideau Lakes to set up their easels and paint.

“Basically, it’s whoever shows up,” said Ferrell. She noted that well-known water colour artist Stephen Rothwell has committed to the day.

All art must be returned to the Grist Mill Gallery for judging by 3:30 p.m. An awards ceremony and reception for the public will be held at the Grist Mill Gallery from 4-6 p.m. There will be a special category for those who chose to paint at Foley Mountain Conservation Area. There will also be a children’s category. Art will be on sale during the reception and for the week following at Artemisia Art Gallery. Contact Georgia Ferrell, georgia@artemisiaartgallery.com, for more details.

There are several prizes, including a People’s Choice Award.

“The old mill was purchased for conversion into an artist retreat,” said Ferrell. “They’ll be providing accommodations and studios for artists. They’ll also be providing classes and workshops starting in the spring.”

Ferrell, Artemisia co-owner, said she likes mythology and has always been fond of Artemis, the noble and venerated Greek Goddess of the hunt, wild animals, childbirth and young girls. A friend and fellow artist of Ferrell’s, Bonnie McLean, suggested Artemisia as a gallery name, in honour of Artemisia Gentileschi, a 17th century Baroque painter.

Artemisia lived in an era when women were not considered to have enough intelligence to be painters. They were not accepted in the artistic community.

“She lived in a world where women painters generally didn’t exist,” said Ferrell.

Ferrell and McLean bought their own shop and opened Artemisia Gallery about three years ago. The gallery hosts exhibits,

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale

Kingston - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To order a FREE Special Report, visit Nadeau Realty Inc., Brokerage or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call toll-free 1-800-896-8134 and enter 1003.

You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

There’s never a bad time to visit Westport, but autumn is particularly beautiful. The days are cooler, so it’s refreshing to wander the streets and enjoy the scenery. It’s a postcard-pretty town. The drive to get there is just as pleasant.

If you like outdoor walks, Foley Mountain is ideal. Views from Spy Rock on the mountain are breathtaking. The Foley Mountain Conservation Area is open year round.

Park in the village and you can wander for hours. The main thoroughfares and side streets are filled with quaint shops and pleasant cafes and restaurants.

Artemisia Gallery is located at 7 Spring St. You’ll find The Cove at 2 Bedford St. A few weeks from now, you can enjoy Westport’s Halloween Festival of Pumpkins. You’ll

see more than 2,000 pumpkins carved by Westport residents.

Once an important sawmill and grist mill town and later an important railroad shipping centre, Westport’s easy access by train allowed it to become an important tourist destination. The railroad and mills are gone, but Westport remains one of the most beautiful little towns in Ontario.

Throughout the summer season, it’s a thriving tourist destination. But it’s picture perfect year round. The quaint shops remain open and the people are always friendly.

Directions: Take Division Street north from Kingston. After you pass Highway 401, it becomes Perth Road. Follow it until it ends at Highway 42 at Westport. Turn left on Highway 42, then right onto Main Street.

It refers to painting outdoors, in the fresh air. It’s also known as peinture sur le motif (painting on the ground). The method of painting on-site outdoors became popular in the 19th century after paint became available in tubes.

At the same time, field easels became readily available. Also known as box easels, they were portable and folded up into a box about the size of a briefcase. Easily carried, artists could travel and work in the countryside, or anywhere they chose.

The methods and techniques of plein air painting remain popular in the 21st century. You’ll have an opportunity to see artists in action during the Paint the Rideau Lakes Plein Air Festival.

Any day now my life will change

By Kenneth Jackson Kjackson@theemc.ca

EMC Editorial - Sometimes I get up late at night and open the door to her room.

When I’m feeling really sappy I’ll sit down on the little bench I put together for her, and think about how much I already love her.

My daughter, Frances Jane, is expected by the end of this month. Like most people expecting, especially their first, I can’t help but think about her.

I can see my wife’s belly getting bigger. I can feel Little Frankie move around. I put an ear to my wife’s belly and hear her heartbeat.

But, while sitting in her room, my mind wanders in thought about how much of

a big deal she is.

I think about how I’ll walk with her and what she’ll look like.

I see her growing up and running around the yard at her grandparents’ home.

Picking flowers, chasing after fireflies with a Mason jar in one hand and the lid in the other.

It breaks my heart, but I see her crying because someone said something mean. Worse, someone broke her heart, which will break mine.

I see myself laughing at something she did at school to annoy one of her teachers.

My wife already hates that I’ll do that.

I start to think about how I need to take better care of myself so I can live longer. I begin to wonder about mak-

ing more money or leaving for a bigger city to give her everything she needs. I basically feel as though I need to finally stand up and be a man for the first time. It’s not that I am not one, I just feel like one for the first time.

I’m willing to sacrifice just about anything, including my pride, to make sure she gets the best chance at life she can.

I wonder if she’ll have my eyes or my hair colour.

I hope she looks like her mother, who is beautiful.

The most beautiful woman in the world, which is why I call her Beautiful Brynna and try every day to be a better person for her.

Brynna and Frankie. My two girls. I like the way that sounds. I bet there will be times when I don’t and that’s

In Our Opinion

OK. They’ll run my life ragged I’m sure. It’s worth it.

The other day I was making dinner. Something easy like potatoes and corn with a salad and some leftover meat from breakfast my wife cooked.

I went to Youtube and listened to Leonard Cohen sing Hallelujah. It’s such a brilliant song.

I had to stop and write this: As the birth of my daughter approaches all I care about is her being healthy and happy.

May she make a living painting pictures or selling blueberries by the roadside. She can be straight or gay. Tall or short. Just be happy, healthy and a good person.

It really is true. I just love her and don’t care about the rest.

EMC Editorial – Not many women would have the guts to go barefaced in front of the camera, every line, blemish and imperfection visible to millions of TV viewers worldwide. Heck, with or without makeup there are many who would rather not find themselves in the viewfinder of the EMC’s digital lens, but do so grudgingly.

Whether we agree with it or not, we live in a society where looks matter, so we were thoroughly shocked and impressed when we heard news that the cast of the CBS show The Talk hosted its Season 3 premiere sans makeup.

Sara Gilbert, Julie Chen, Aisha Tyler, Sheryl Underwood and Sharon Osborne appeared fresh faced and in robes on the set of their talk show. The show’s guests, who included Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Stafford, Melody Thomas Scott and Katherine Kelly Lang, also embraced the no-makeup theme.

It was a refreshing sight to see. We feel it is so important for women, especially young girls, to understand that celebs are regular people, just like themselves.

We think people often forget that when not in front of the camera, or featured on the front page of a magazine, these celebs can likely be found running errands wearing little makeup, a messy ponytail and sweatpants. Frankly we’d find it more than a bit odd if they were all glammed up to hit the local corner store.

We all have it in us to look red-carpet ready, but we think it’s important that we are all also comfortable in our own skin, sans makeup. We as women need to stop putting pressure on ourselves to look picture perfect all the time. It’s exhausting, not to mention a lot of work.

Kudos to the cast of The Talk for having the courage to go au naturel for the camera. We hope that your gesture will perhaps encourage more women to appreciate their own natural beauty.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Free program seeks to inspire next generation of youth to nurture the natural world

By Kristen Coughlar

kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC News – In recent years, Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre has seen more wildlife admitted to its Napanee-based facility as a result of issues like urban sprawl, motor vehicle collisions, hunting and habitat damage. In response, centre staff is taking its work beyond the walls of the centre and into area classrooms.

The centre has developed a free education program for elementary and secondary schools and other community organizations in the Limestone District School Board.

“We’ve definitely seen an increase in numbers at the centre, that’s one reason

why we wanted to go into the schools,” said program facilitator Janet Fenton.

Fenton noted that information about local wildlife isn’t as present in the school curriculum anymore.

The SPWC education program aims to teach area youth in Grades 1 through 12 about animal welfare, stewardship and habitat sustainability and raise awareness of the many ways in which human acidity impacts wildlife and

how we as humans can make positive and practical changes to support the wildlife around us.

“You want to save what

develop an appreciation for wildlife and nature.

Each session is tied to the Ontario school curriculum and can be customized

you’re interested in,” Fenton said, speaking to the importance of reaching youth early and helping to

to meet specific areas of study. Sessions are 30 minutes to one hour in length.

“If they’re focusing on

biodiversity I can talk about how biodiversity affects the animals that come into the centre,” Fenton said, noting that she always tries to link the topic of conversation back to the work at the centre.

Fenton said that response to the program has been positive, and that she has administered 10 classroom presentations to date.

She said she tries to make each session interactive and fun for the chil-

What’s Happening

dren, thus making it more likely that they will retain the information presented to them.

She hopes to convey the amazing ability of our Ontario wildlife to adapt, thrive and survive in the face of adversity and hopefully foster a respect for wildlife among today’s youth.

“I always try to show them my passion. If you show them your love for it you’re hoping some of it might rub off on them.”

Local schools and community organizations who would like to find out more information about the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre Education Program or who would like to book a school visit can email education@ sandypineswildlife.org.

Wolfe Island Plowing Match goes on in spite of rain Correspondent

EMC news- Heavy rain in other parts of the Kingston region kept a number of horse plowmen away from Wolfe Island’s ploughing match held this year at Jack and Theresa Broeder’s farm, expecting it would be the same on the island.

“While it was a ‘fine rainy day’ luckily the ‘big deluge’ held off until most of this year’s 24 competitors were close to being finished,” said Wilma Sjongers, secretary of the WI Plowmens Association. “A lower number of competitors but a good match as always for both horse and tractor pulled ploughs on good lands.”

Gathered under tents visitors and friends had time to chat in spite of the weather and enjoy a bite to eat. Others wandered the fields to watch first hand and up close the exactness and skill of what it is to turn a furrow.

The 4 Chown boys Hunter ,Cole, Orrie and Reid (all under age 18) were ploughing this year, one or two of whom will be attending the International Ploughing Match in Roseville Sept. 1622 along with Tom Woodman and Dan Berry.

Thanks to KFC (Nat, Kate & Paul Lollar) for the lunches provided for com-

petitors, Tri Heat for fuel, the twenty-five business and individual event sponsors. Trophies and awards were presented at the end of the day by the President of the “WI Plowmens Association” Wayne Grant.

Competitions have been held since 1947 giving farmers an opportunity to show their skills handling their horses and walking ploughs.

Now there are many classes with judges looking at the straightness of the lines and the depth of the furrow. The Wolfe Island Plowmen’s Association was created in 1956.

Around Wolfe Island: * The water is still going down, George. * Business has slowed but activities have not. *Ferry lone up’s are far easier to handle now that Labour Day has passed. And speaking of the Wolfe Island and the ferry, it has been MTO’s policy to hire students to direct ferry traffic at both the Barrack Street Dock and at the Marysville dock on Wolfe Island through the summer months mid June to September Directing traffic into the proper lines in Kingston, overseeing pedestrians and cyclists and keeping track of the time of arrival of trucks and trailers for boarding during the busy summer months is no easy task, It requires diligence, good hu-

mour, a lot of walking, and a stiff upper lip. On Wolfe Island it includes all of the above including, “eyes in the back of the head” to see cars breaking into the line up, cycling up and down the line to prevent it happening every day, rain of shine and listening to islanders and visitors frustrated at being left behind. and visitors The line up (only one on the island) is long, curved, narrow along the street and can stretch to as far as the end of Marysville to east particularly on weekends.

To this year’s summer students, a Belated but Very Big Thank You for a job well done to: Peter Johnson, Trent University; Melissa Lacompte, Laurentian U.; Pamela Chesney, Queen’s; Ethan Sorenson Guelph U; Camille Prior QECVI focus program, Creative Arts; Laura Douglas, McGill; and last but not least, Mike CoteDipietrantonio, St. Lawrence College.

More streets added Keira has great hair day to Kingston’s cycling as she donates to charity network, more parking lost

By LORRAINE PAYETTE Reporter

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – Pedal power will soon be taking over more streets in Kingston.

The city is moving ahead with plans to create more cycling lanes on existing streets, but it could also result in the loss of dozens of well-used parking spaces.

A proposal going to council recommends expanding the official list of cycling routes: -Union Street (King Street West to Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd.)

-Montreal Street (Rideau Street to Ordnance Street) -Days Road (Front Road to Castell Road) -Bayridge Drive (Front Road to Coverdale Drive) In some cases, the move to accommodate more cycling lanes coincides with recent or planned road construction work.

Some of the shoulders will be paved or widened to give cyclists a safe pedaling area next to cars whizzing by them.

The transportation committee approved the changes along with a recommendation to remove daytime parking from the affected streets, since the cycling lanes would take road space that’s currently meant for parked

vehicles. Staff say the displaced parking is usually short-term and can be easily accommodated on nearby sidestreets.

In some cases, the new cycling lanes will be extended on roads that already have them.

For example, Union Street’s dedicated cycling lanes will now be expanded to the university’s West Campus. In the west end, space was created on the newlypaved shoulders of Days Road and Bayridge Drive.

However, a more ambitious plan - to create cycling space on the full length of Brock and Johnson Streets - has been shelved for at least another year.

The committee says it will be trickier to accommodate the needs of cyclists and motorists, and will give staff more time to accommodate dozens of lost onstreet parking spots.

“The removal of parking on the sections of Johnson Street and Brock Street, from Division Street west to Toronto Street, will have a significant impact on the all-day commuter parkers,” said Utilities Kingston president and public works commissioner Jim Keech in his report to the committee last week.

The removal of parking on Brock and Johnson Streets will displace an estimated 114 vehicles. The non-regulated street

parking spots are heavily used due to their close proximity to Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital. The street spots are also used by local residents.

The city still intends to push ahead with creating official cycling lanes on Brock and Johnson Streets, once traffic officials can ease parking restrictions on adjacent streets, possibly offer a residential parking permit system, and introduce Kingston Transit express bus service in September of 2013.

“Efforts will also be made to convert some of these commuter parkers to transit,” said Keech.

There’s an ongoing debate over whether cyclists should have their own dedicated lane, or not. The city currently uses painted lines to indicate cycling lanes on some streets. In other cases, it has started painting ‘sharrows’ – double arrow markings, instead of a continuous line – that give motorists a visual reminder to ‘share the road.’ Sharrows also give cyclists more room to manoeuvre around sewer grates and road surface conditions.

However, motorists have complained that sharrows are confusing, there’s not enough signage to explain their purpose, and the paint fades too quickly.

EMC News - What do you say when your child walks up to you and calmly announces that she wants to cut her hair and give it to some little girl who doesn’t have any?

“Keira came to me about two years ago to tell me (this),” said Sarah Simpson of Seeley’s Bay, Keira’s mother. “I had tears in my eyes when she was a little five-year-old and said, ‘Mum, I want to donate my hair,’ and I cried.”

At the beginning of August the Simpsons created a Facebook group and invited all of their friends and family to help reach Keira’s goal of $800$1,000 to help fund the cost of a wig.

“Over the last few weeks we’ve had lots of people in the community and friends and family stop by and give us some money,” said Sarah.

“She’s very excited and I’m very nervous. I’m going to miss it. I have a lot of fun braiding her hair and curling it.

We’ll find some new fun things to do with it, though.”

Keira had 10 or 11 inches cut off, and the family is sending it to Continental Hair in Toronto, a business that makes wigs for children in Canada.

“I thought of the idea myself,” said Keira, now age 7.

“I’m going to donate my hair and they’re going to make it

Keira Simpson, 7, of Seeley’s Bay, shows off the hair she just had cut at Countrystyle Hair on Drynan Way earlier this month. into a wig.”

And Keira wasn’t satisfied with just giving her hair. She wanted to be sure that the wig was paid for as well, so she and her family started raising money to be sure it would happen. They will be sending the money along with the hair to help fund the cost of making the wig.

“Mum took a picture of me and we put it on the internet and we started raising a lot of money,” said Keira. “We don’t have all the money yet. We’re pretty close, though.”

As of Sept. 6, they had raised $669 and were hoping for the rest. In order to get there, they have set up the page https://www.facebook.com/#!/ events/368848533187261/ where people can see Keira’s haircut, learn about what she’s doing, and make donations to help with the wig.

“I’ve been growing my hair for two years,” said Keira. “I won’t miss it when it’s cut, but Mummy will!”

Sarah thinks Keira will probably try it again.

“When she’s done it once, we’ll see,” said Sarah. “She might like it short, so we’ll see.

She’s never had it short. She’s pretty excited. She wanted to do it before school, but we wanted to try to raise the money first, so she’s been patiently waiting.

“We’re pretty proud of her.”

Keira will be receiving a certificate which the family will frame and put on her wall so she can look at it all the time and remember what she’s contributed. And Keira hopes other people will want to do the same thing.

To contribute to the cause, please go to https:// www.facebook.com/#!/ events/368848533187261/ or contact Sarah Simpson at lilsproutsdaycare@hotmail. com.

Pittsburgh district residents more involved

By Kenneth Jackson Kjackson@theemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle - Sitting in Brian Reitzel’s living room, he has a pile of papers at his feet.

They’re various clippings of accomplishments.

He wants to show them to me. I’m here to interview him.

He’s the last councillor to be profiled as part of EMC’s look at city councillors throughout the summer. The Pittsburgh district councillor asked to be the last one due to a busy schedule.

In the pile of papers is a story he wrote and had published. Another is pamphlet on how, when he was part of the LCBO, he helped spearhead a fundraising initiative for Fort Henry. He’s particularly proud of that and he should be.

He seems like an ordinary man with simple values. It’s evident from the crucifix on wall with a palm leaf hanging from it.

He’s paying thousands of dollars to get a new roof, one that will last longer than the typical asphalt shingles.

He’s been married to his wife Esther for over 30 years. They have three boys - Brad, Jeff and Matthew.

I tell him, like I told almost all of the councillors, I don’t get into the politics of City Hall. I don’t know

much about them and prefer it that way. I have no preconceived notions about who they are. The story is for the person down the street and perhaps the person next to them too.

I let it slide when he talks a bit about the politics at City Hall, because almost all of them have.

They also like to talk about the town’s daily newspaper.

I offer a different opinion where I can, listen where I have to.

Pittsburgh Township amalgamated with the City of Kingston in 1998 but not everyone has accepted it, even after all these years, said Reitzel.

It’s one of the first things he wants to talk about.

That, and how his constituents are more involved than anyone else. “They want to be heard, they want to be part of the city and have been for 14 years but there is still some negativity out there because of the amalgamation that took place and the way it did. A lot of them still don’t feel like they are part of the city and there is a whole host of reasons for that,� said Reitzel.

One of the reasons is they’ve felt neglected, particularly when it comes to their parks. They feel they didn’t get a lot of attention until the last couple of

years.

Then there’s the bridge.

The much needed additional crossing across the Cataraqui River.

I hear it’s a nightmare to cross at rush hour, especially if there is a crash on Highway 401 or the causeway is closed. Even at one lane either way the causeway seems ridiculous. The people who reside in Pittsburgh district feel the same way.

They want the city to do something about it and have for a long, long time.

Reitzel ran in 2006 on that very platform but didn’t get elected. He ran again in 2010 and got in.

He said the city should be ready to ask the province and feds for money by at least 2014. All approvals will be done by then.

All of this makes his constituents more involved. “I believe that people out here in Pittsburgh district are way ahead of others in the rest of the city just because they are that engaged out here,� said Reitzel. “They still have their stamp on (the former Pittsburgh Township).

They have ownership to the district even though we are part of the city now. They are engaged because they take that ownership.�

He said he holds town hall meetings.

Photo/Kenneth Jackson

Pittsburgh district Councillor Brian Reitzel “I promised I’d hold town hall meetings, which I do. They are well attended. That gives you a chance to really get a finger

just enjoy town hall meetings. You get very direct questions and they deserve to ask that and get an answer back,� he said.

on the pulse of what your constituents are thinking about or what they want or what they want to see in improvements to the city. I

Book looks at when two cultures meet

By Kenneth Jackson Kjackson@theemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle - When John Goodale started to journal about his relationship with a Pakistani woman it was just supposed to be that.

It was a way for him to express his feelings and thoughts.

He then started posting some of it online.

People started to take to it.

He then thought it could be a book to be given to his new family as a keepsake.

It’s now available for everyone, as Goodale, a 43-year-old Kingston resident, self-published the book last month. The entire process took about four years.

He called the book Johnny Gora.

Gora means white in his wife’s native tongue.

It represents the struggle he faced joining a family that least expected their daughter, Farhat Qureshi, 29, to marry a Caucasian man. It also tells the tale of a man struggling through life himself until he meets a Pakistani woman.

“But when life was at its lowest, he met a new woman - his future wife - and embarked on a humorous crash course in a culture and tradition he grew up around but never really understood,” states the online description of the book.

Goodale, a chef at CFB

Kingston, isn’t a writer and had never thought of himself to be one. He just went with it.

He and his wife met while they both were working at an Etobicoke nursing home.

“I was actually walking by a room and her and a friend were listening to California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas. One of them said they thought it was the Beach Boys,” he said.

Goodale popped his head in the door and told them who it was. Qureshi sort of brushed him off and Goodale went on his way.

“I just walked away and wouldn’t speak with her for a month. Finally, one day I said, ‘grow up and just talk to her,’” he said.

They talked about books they liked and the relationship just grew from there.

They kept their dating secret for several months.

One, because of the colour of his skin, and two, he was older. But perhaps the biggest concern was he was divorced. He has two children from a previous marriage.

“Finally she did break the news. However, she waited to tell them after she asked me to marry her,” he said. “At first they said ‘Oh, you’ve met a nice Pakistani man? No. You’ve met a nice Indian man? No. You’ve met a

nice Asian man? Nope, he’s not Asian.’ They asked if I was black and finally the last question was ‘is he Gora?’”

Goodale thought it was kind of funny.

When he first met the family, Goodale described it like the Sidney Poitier movie Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

“It was strange. We got stared at a lot. There were many times where I felt like a lab experiment. It was really weird at first,” he said, adding it’s different now. He’s growing closer to the family.

Goodale’s book is available through a number of sites but most notably Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iUniverse and Chapters/ Indigo by print on demand item.

It is also available on Apple’s iBooks.

One person purchased it on Amazon and had this to say: “I really enjoyed reading this book, found it an easy read and very humorous. The couple must really love each other. A good glimpse into another culture that I have always wondered about.”

Matthew Hoekstra stands in what used to be his father’s barn (pictured right) along Highway 2, west of Napanee. It was built two years ago but a Sept. 9 tornado Photo/Kenneth Jackson leveled it with Hoekstra inside. Environment Canada confirmed it was a twister.

Barns destroyed, lives spared by twister said McFarlane a couple days later, adding he feared the funnel would turn in his direction as he watched in amazement as it twisted counter clockwise as if it hadn’t a care in the world. “I never want to see that it again.”

As it went by it ripped apart an old building on his land.

“I still can’t find the roof. I don’t know where it is. It’s probably in pieces,” he said.

McFarlane said the funnel itself wasn’t very wide but strong enough to carry a path of destruction at a width of about 150 metres. Just the tip had the force to rip into the ground 30 cm deep and 12 metres long at one point.

It then continued on its path toward Hoekstra.

Across a highway and farm fields, it barely left a mark. It was like it just decided to rip apart one more barn and tempt the fate of another soul helpless against its untamed wrath.

After seeing the chair fly and the branch break, Hoekstra said he was tinkering around in the northwest side of the barn when the nearly six-metre wide door that was facing south flew in just missing him before smash-

ing into the wall.

It was all the tornado needed and Hoekstra knew it.

“It just missed my head by a foot. It was blown in. It was lifted right off its tracks and hit that back corner. As soon as that happened I dove under that bench,” he said, pointing to a bench covered in debris.

It was a workbench but also the bar for his wedding reception.

It saved his life.

Under the bench, which is visible in the photo, Hoekstra could see the roof lift off and twirl above him in the sky.

“The whole 40 by 100 foot roof. It was swirling,” he said.

By this time the walls were caving in and the bench Hoekstra was under was being dragged across the cement floor.

A similar bench was crushed next to him.

The twister picked the roof up and carried it several hundred metres before dropping it over 21 metre high trees that line the yard to the east.

“I thought I was done. Seriously, I thought I was going to die. Everything was just spinning. It was the loudest thing

I’ve probably ever heard. It was like a freight train coming right through the building just taking everything right out,” he said.

Several days after the day he almost died, Hoekstra said he

was thankful to be alive and able to go home to his wife.

He said he believes in a higher power but hasn’t been to church in a long time.

“I might go now,” he said.

EMC News - Matthew Hoekstra didn’t know the danger that awaited him.

Working in his father’s barn down a long driveway off Highway 2 west of the roundabout, he could see the weather outside was getting worse.

A little further west and straight across several fields and Highway 7, farmer Jim McFarlane knew what was coming Hoekstra’s way.

Fixing posts in his barn, McFarlane first noticed the sky turn a strange colour.

He then heard a hissing sound.

He left the posts and walked to his barn door.

There he stood as a tornado moved across the fields in the middle between Withers Road to the south and Highway 2 to the north where he was standing.

Around the same time McFarlane was standing there, Hoekstra’s sister’s boyfriend left the barn telling Hoekstra he was going to put on some jeans.

They were going to head into

Napanee and grab a coffee.

After he went inside the weather picked up and Hoekstra spotted a chair at the front of the barn fly across the grass. Then he watched a giant tree branch break free.

Something wasn’t right.

McFarlane looked down at this watch. It was 10 a.m. on Sept. 9. The twister had first touched down at Fralick Road, about a half dozen farm fields down the road. It first partially ripped the roof of a barn, then tore down two like they were made of straw. It continued its path, nearly destroying the home of a couple, but it was their son that got the worst of it. He was sitting inside his 20foot trailer in their backyard.

The trailer was picked up and tossed around like loose plastic bag. It was shredded before the tornado left. Miraculously the man survived with little harm to him. The family didn’t want to be identified but showed EMC around their property. Their brick chimney was in pieces.

In an instance it was there and then it was gone, continuing east.

“I was ready to go and hide,”

United Way sets campaign goal: $3.35 million Kjackson@theemc.ca

EMC News - Johnny Mariona saw his grades go from barely passing to As and Bs. The 16-year-old Kingston high school student credits the change to Pathways to Education, a north end agency funded by the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington.

“I just went to them and they told me they’d help me,” said Mariona, who was a speaker at the United Way’s annual fall fundraising campaign launch last week. “My marks went up to the 70s, 80s, even the 90s. Everything went from needs improvement to good and excellent. I was happy.”

Mariona went to Pathways to Education last fall and continues to attend.

The program helps dozens of students with their studies.

Mariona now has his eye on university to study music. He has a focus that wasn’t there before.

“They helped me a lot... big time,” he said.

The local United Way kicked off its annual fundraising campaign before more than 600 supporters and volunteers who packed the inside of a conference room at the Ambassador Conference Resort.

The campaign is being chaired by Lloyd Fleming.

The goal of $3.35 million is an increase of $150,000 over last year’s goal.

“It was pretty easy for me because I’m a passionate advocate for the United Way for a couple of reasons,” said Fleming. “The United Way makes it easy

for us to give money and I say that in a way that in Kingston, for example, we represent 48 different agencies that offer 80 different programs and different services. So, as a donor, you don’t have to go out and search out those different opportunities.”

Fleming, a BMO Bank of Montreal vice-president, explained the United Way talks to each agency to determine how the money is allocated.

“I can be comfortable as a donor,” he said. “That’s what got me hooked on the United Way.” He said from a leadership side it’s important that all of us give back to our communities in any way we can.

“I was delighted to be asked,” he said of being campaign chair.

Approximately 81 per cent of the money raised in 2011 was from workplaces, the United Way said in a press release. The remainder came from direct-mail and events. More than 400 KFL&A workplaces will run United Way campaigns over the next 11 weeks, with the help of more than 2,000 volunteers.

For the year ending 2011, 88 per cent of funds received were immersed in programs while 12 per cent went towards fundraising and related administrative costs, the release said.

The campaign will focus on telling the United Way story and attracting additional donors, especially in the workplace, said United Way President and CEO Bhavana Varma.

“We have a small staff and a large volunteer team,” she said. “Last year our United Way helped 85,000

Photo/Kenneth Jackson people and that’s in a population of 190,000 people so that’s a lot of people.”

Campaign 2012 wraps up with an official announcement of the fundraising

achievement Nov. 29 back at the Ambassador.

Jakk Tuesdays Athletics reclaim Kingston Men’s Fastball League title EMC Sports - The Jakk Tuesdays Athletics followed up their pennant winning season to capture the 2012 Kingston Men’s Fastball League championship last Wednesday night at Garrigan Park in Portsmouth.

The A’s took four of six playoff wins in extra innings, including an improbable comeback against the two-time defending champions RJB Photography in the fifth and deciding game of the final series.

The win handed the Athletics their sixth league title in the last eight seasons.

As the result was familiar for core members of the squad, Scott MacDonald, Rich Lenart, Chad Miller, Brock Palmer, Rick Wright, Brad Ethier, and Barry Van Hooser, the supporting cast had a different look, as the A’s added some depth to their lineup which also added some youthful enthu-

siasm that this veteran team relied on down the stretch. “Matt Dillon was a key addition, adding some much needed pitching help,� player/coach Scott MacDonald noted.

The exciting final series between Jakk’s and RJB was a back and forth affair, which saw the home team taking all five games. It was entertaining for large crowds in attendance, and also for the players involved. “There is such an intense rivalry between us and RJB,� Athletics first baseman, Rich Lenart commented. “It creates a fantastic atmosphere to play ball in.�

A key challenge in the series for the A’s was how they would bounce back from the game four dismantling on behalf of RJB, who rode Jason Loney’s 3 hit, 4 RBI performance, and a solid outing by ace Justin

Heyman, to a 6-4 victory, to send the series to the deciding game five.

It didn’t look good for the Athletics early on, as RJB opened an early 5-0 lead, powered by a Rob Boucher two run homerun and Loney’s RBI single, reminiscent of the previous game’s route.

The veteran A’s rallied behind the excitement and encouragement of their youthful reserves, as starting pitcher Barry Van Hooser helped his own cause, blasting a solo homerun which ignited a three run inning, jumpstarting the comeback.

A wild seventh inning had the Athletics down to their final strike, when Chad Miller’s infield hit cashed in the tying run to send the fate of the KMFL title into extra innings.

In a very familiar situation, the A’s settled into the eighth inning. After throw-

Bob Hilderley, Mary Alice Downie and Brian S. Osborne are the editors of Kingston Calendar 2013, a 16-month calendar that was released earlier this summer. The front cover of Kingston Calendar 2013 features a painting of the market by David Birdsey Walkley. William Henry Bartlett’s Citadel of Kingston is featured during the month of June. Capt. Pierce’s Portsmouth Town Hall is featured during the month of August.

Calendar project highlights Kingston’s pictorial past

By Kristen Coughlar kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC News – None are Kingston born, but they all love Kingston.

In fact, Mary Alice Downie, Bob Hilderley and Brian S. Osborne have authored or co-authored books about the Limestone City.

“We’ve adopted the city and fallen in love with the city,” Hilderley said.

Downie is the author of A Pioneer ABC and co-editor of Written in Stone: A Kingston Reader; Hilderley and Osborne are coeditors of Personalizing Place: In Defence of Local History: The Kingston Case; and Osborne is the

co-author of Kingston: Building on the Past for the Future.

Together they are editors of Kingston Calendar 2013, a 16-month calendar that was released earlier this summer.

The calendar includes 17 early paintings of Kingston.

“Kingston is probably for its size one of the most recorded places in Canada,” Osborne said.

Many of the paintings featured in the calendar were done

by Royal Engineers who were commissioned by the military to record the topography and society of the locations where they were posted, while others were done by the hand of prominent members of Kingston society, such as Harriet Cartwright.

“As I’ve looked over the years,

these paintings keep coming up in all different contexts and none of them showing their full splendor, always being tucked into a corner in black and white,” Hilderley said. “To discover such a treasure of colour work is quite amazing.”

The paintings cover the time period of the late 18th century to the early 20th century. They were sourced from a variety of places including the Library and Archives Canada, Agnes Etherington Art Centre, The Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, RMC, and others.

Particularly captivating is William Henry Bartlett’s Citadel of Kingston, which appears in the month of June, and Capt. Pierce’s Portsmouth Town Hall which is featured in August. Information

on each painting and its artist is included on each calendar page.

Each page also features contemporary statements made about Kingston by the likes of Sir John A. Macdonald, William Chambers, Lt. Francis Hall, Sir George Head, and Walt Whitman.

“They’re not really connected functionally but they are in subject,” Osborne said.

Hilderley noted that when viewed and read front to back the calendar represents a brief history of Kingston over a century.

“You’ve got a little capsule of history,” he said.

Osborne noted that when he first arrived in the Limestone City, the Kingston depicted in the calendar’s paintings no longer existed.

“It was a depressing, small

town. No restaurants, industry on Ontario Street, railway yards in front of City Hall. Now in many ways it’s regaining its charm, so in a way the calendar is reminding people what it used to be,” he said. ”The beauty of Kingston in the pre-industrial age is captured in that camera.”

When the trio first set out to create this calendar they worried they wouldn’t be able to find enough images. But as they started digging, they found more than enough to complete the project.

“We’ve got enough that we could do another calendar tomorrow,” Downie said.

The trio said it was a joy working together on the project and that a future calendar project is not out of the question.

“We could look beyond that era; we can look forward to the 20th century. If we started snooping around there we’d probably find a good group of people as well.”

The calendar is currently available at Novel Idea, 156 Princess St., and several gift stores for $17.95. It will also soon become available at Chapters Indigo.

Hilderley believes the calendar would appeal to anyone who has an interest in the history of Kingston and how it came to look the way it does today. It would also make a great gift.

“I’ve always seen the calendar as something that will sell best to local people who will use it primarily as a gift as the gift season comes along.”

through the air,” he said. “One guy is on the other side already, whether it’s heaven, hell or nothing. I have a hunch it’s nothing. But in that nothing, you’re still having an affect on earth. It could be a painting you painted, the things you taught as a teacher, or subtle things like a recipe you created. Then there’s always your children.

“The thing that can confuse people about Clockmaker is when they don’t get it, they think it’s a mistake,” said Massicotte.

But he’s in control of when people come to an understanding of what’s happening.

“I’m trying to create a ride where you laugh, cry, get shocked, and at the end have had a full panacea of emotions,” he said. “At the end, you feel cleansed. The only way to do that is to be choked up at a certain point and laughing your ass off at another.”

Massicotte was born in Trenton, but grew up in Thunder Bay. He thought drawing, not writing, was going to be his vocation.

“As a kid, I drew everything,” he said. “I never thought of being a writer.”

But when an artist draws, he or she is also telling a story.

There’s the visual drama of adventure.

“I read a lot,” said Massicotte. “Reading is a key to writing. I loved books.”

He attended Cambrian College in Sudbury for graphic design. He moved to Calgary for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama from the University of Calgary. He began a successful career in stage, TV and film acting. He’d never taken a creative writing course, but tried his hand at writing a play. One of his early scripts for a oneact play was The Boy’s Own Jedi Handbook, a coming of age story. Massicotte sees the “force” as a positive substitute for organized religions that have atrophied or become corrupt. He said that, like many actors, he dabbled with one act productions.

Massicotte has written several award-winning plays, but it was Mary’s Wedding, a full length play, that really blew the lid off for him. It’s now been produced about 80 times

Playwright Stephen Massicotte in New York City. His play, The Clockmaker, ran at the Thousand Islands Playhouse over the summer.

Photo/Grant Harvey throughout North America and the United Kingdom.

“When doors fly open, you go where the door opens,” he said.

When Mary’s Wedding played at the Westport Country Playhouse in Connecticut about five years ago, it received critical praise in the New York Times. Likewise, one of Massicotte’s Off-Broadway productions brought rave reviews.

These New York productions meant he had to spend some time in the city.

“I fell in love with the place,” he said.

Because of his success, he was granted a three year artist visa. Finally, hoping to stay, he was able to obtain his Green Card for permanent residency.

In addition to writing plays, TV and movie screenplays, Massicotte has completed a young adult novel called Silver. He said it’s in the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings

realm.

These days, he’s in between projects, so is polishing one of his previous plays, Ten Questions to Ask Your Teacher About Evolution. I suspect that, typical of Massicotte’s work, you

can expect the unexpected.

Can’t wait to see this one.

With his increasing list of successful productions, Massicotte’s able to live in a home overlooking Central Park.

Not a bad place to write.

EMC Entertainment Here’s a metaphysical question: does setting the bar high in your professional life mean that people expect a lot of you in your personal life? Or, if you set the bar low in your personal life, do people expect the same in your professional life?

That’s something playwright Stephen Massicotte ponders. It’s not one of the deeper metaphysical issues he deals with.

“When family or friends see one of my plays, they say, ‘You wrote that?!’” he said.

“They seem surprised that this guy they know, who is sometimes a slob, could do something like that. I set the bar high in my professional life.”

Stephen Massicotte wrote The Clockmaker, which recently played at The Thousand Islands Playhouse. I gave it a rave review, which wasn’t difficult, considering it’s one of the best plays—Canadian or otherwise—I’ve ever seen.

Recently, I sat down with Massicotte in New York to talk about his career and his creative work.

He’s a down-to-earth guy with some brilliant and sometimes witty observations on the world around us. That includes his perception of theatre, or theater, since he now lives in the USA. “Theatre operates for me in the same way some people say religion works for them,” said Massicotte. “I’d say this applies to theatre, movies and novels. There’s a sort of ritual to it. There is a community gathering where one gets to witness something significant and music is often involved.”

He said there’s also a parallel to sports.

“David Mamet writes about that. It’s not a matter of one event leading to a catharsis.

You continue to go back to the theatre for a catharsis. It’s the same way with sports. A cham-

pionship continually needs to be decided. There’s a drama that needs to be played out. It’s similar to the way we listen to the same piece of music. We know the piece, yet listen to it again.”

He offered Hamlet as a theatrical example.

“Despite knowing the ending, we want to see it played out,” he said. “It serves all sorts of things. For me, it’s the philosophical and spiritual—spiritual in quotation marks, I don’t believe in the soul or anything supernatural. I’m talking about the psychological spirit, the intellectual spirit.”

Which brings us to The Clockmaker, Massicotte’s metaphysical time piece. It’s complex, yet fulfilling, in a spiritual (quotation marks or not) sense. From the first evening I saw the play, I wondered what the playwright was thinking, and from what inner spark did this well-crafted work arise.

“The Clockmaker came out of the blue,” said Massicotte.

“I’m usually thinking about a play for a long time. There will be a notion in the back of my head and I can trace the origins. But I just started writing The Clockmaker and finished it. I was supposed to be writing a play for a Stratford production. I had to tell them, ‘I haven’t been able to write the play you wanted to write, but how about this one.’”

He said the day he started writing The Clockmaker, he could see influences like Kafka, Nabakov’s Invitation to a Beheading, Koestler’s Darkness at Noon, and even Orwell’s 1984. But, to me, Massicotte’s work goes beyond the darkness typical of many of these influences. There’s humor, sometimes cynical, but still humor. There’s also a gentleness and romantic innocence within his work.

He said The Clockmaker is one of the favorites of his own creations. The initial idea was to have two Napoleonic soldiers shooting at each other in an old-fashioned duel. That’s far from The Clockmaker plot, except for the metaphysics component, and the quirky use of time.

“Depending who shot first, one guy could already be dead and a bullet could still be flying

Prayers get family through Dirty Thirties EMC Lifestyle - We learned to pray at a very early age. Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much.

Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the West hill under which the cows were seeking refuge in a storm, was another question he asked.

So other than Grace at the table at meal time, Father pretty well left the praying up to Mother.

Although Mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married Father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her Rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it was how often, and how fervently you did so.

So every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner”. That was because we all had to scrunch down around Mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room.

It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and the corner we prayed in, was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because

then I could rest my head on Mother’s knee, but Emerson usually beat me to it.

Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes were closed and our hands were in steeples, then she would begin.

Her first prayers were ones we said every night.

Exactly the same, word for word. And I wondered back then, if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything from rain, to good crops, to a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door to door in Renfrew.

Mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, who Mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers.

Of course, we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do in-

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012

stead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers.

And so began a lifetime of silent praying.

Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers I thought back then. In fact, his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United Church a stone’s throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wise sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other.

To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when, in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ram-rod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet. It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what

my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday, with my own thoughts.

Then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start. I was praying for things that I had seen in the Five and Dime Store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for.

We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School. Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote...there were the Graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around Mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer.

I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, the prayers, in whatever form they were given, were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

Losing weight isn’t easy.

It takes real commitment to make the necessary changes to diet, exercise and lifestyle.

And, for most people, it takes a plan. That’s why Curves, the fitness franchise designed exclusively for women, has developed Curves Complete, a simple, easy-to-follow weight-loss plan that combines the three keys to taking off weight and keeping it off: diet, exercise and motivation.

Curves is the only place you can get all three, and Curves of Kingston wants you to try it FREE for one week.

“For many women, managing the simple logistics of sticking to a diet and exercise plan is what defeats them,” says Lorelee, Kingston Curves manager. “Meal planning and preparation, shopping, designing an effective and age-appropriate exercise plan, coping with everyday emotional highs and lows - it can be overwhelming. Sometimes it seems easier to stick with the status quo. That’s why our new Curves Complete program provides a foolproof plan for dealing with all of these diet challenges - and helps keep women on track for success.”

The Curves Complete program incorporates all three key components of a successful weight management plan and is designed to help dieters lose up to 20 pounds and 20 inches in just 90 days. Women are seeing real results and sharing their success stories with others at www.facebook. com/curves.

Research shows that up to 95% of dieters regain their lost weight, and then some. It’s not because there’s something wrong with them, it’s because there’s something wrong with conventional weight loss plans. To lose weight and keep it off, you need three secret weapons: · Diet: Weekly personalized diet plans and shopping lists created through the Curves Complete website, available exclusively to Curves Complete members.

These tools help dieters enjoy the convenience and portion control of expensive mail-order diet food programs while shopping at their own grocery stores - and for a fraction of the cost! The plan even offers a convenient new Heat & Eat option so that dieters can include healthy frozen food

choices like Lean Cuisine® and Healthy Choice® in their diet plans. · Exercise: Workouts at Curves of Kingston that combine metabolism-boosting cardio with strength-training and stretching while providing a continually more challenging workout experience as fitness improves. · Motivation: Daily motivational videos produced through a partnership with the renowned Cleveland Clinic that offer advice and strategies from a panel of experts to help you make healthy choices and keep the weight off. Plus, one-on-one time with your personal coach each week to support, encourage and motivate.

“Personal coaching is the heart of the program,” said Treneer. “All Curves Complete participants receive a Health Assessment and a 15-minute, personalized, weekly coaching session with a certified Curves Coach that includes a weigh-in, progress assessment, goal review and monthly body measurements to track results. That extra accountability is very motivating, and the coaches help you develop simple, practical strategies for getting and staying on track.”

For more information about Curves Complete and Curves of Kingston’s FREE TRIAL WEEK OFFER, please call 613-634-5554 or 613-5361073. For information on Curves, please visit www. curves.com.

About Curves Curves works every major muscle group with a complete 30-minute workout that combines strength training and sustained cardiovascular activity through safe and effective hydraulic resistance.

Curves also works to help women lose weight, gain muscle strength and aerobic capacity, and raise metabolism with its groundbreaking, scientifically proven method that ends the need for perpetual dieting. Founders Gary and Diane Heavin are considered the innovators of the express fitness phenomenon that has made exercise available to millions of women globally, many of whom are in the gym for the first time.

EMC Lifestyle - If you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name.

One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna.

She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding.

Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire

to bake. All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!”

I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often.

Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread

When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing.

Kingston to host Antique Telephone Show and Sale

By Kristen Coughlar

kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Don Woodbury appreciates technology. He is after all the CEO of Wireless Express, Ontario’s largest authorized Rogers dealer.

“I’ve always been right into technology. Usually you’d call me an innovator and early adopter of technology. I always have the first smart phone that comes out, I have solar

panels on my roof, I have an electric car in the parking lot,” he said.

It’s not just new technology that he has an appreciation for. Housed inside the head office of Wireless Express is Oldphoneworks, the world’s largest supplier of antique phones and parts.

“I guess I’m a lover of technology. It doesn’t matter whether its old technology or new technology, I just appreciate where the

technology has come from and what went into making it happen, because in its time these old phones were as revolutionary as the latest iPhone,” Woodbury said.

He explained that the creation of Oldphoneworks was the result of a single antique phone that adorned a brick wall in Rogers Wireless Express on downtown Princess Street.

“We got a phone for the store, one phone, and peo-

friends and loved ones.

Phones are also sent in from across the globe to be repaired. In October 2008, Oldphoneworks expanded

the company’s business is online. Orders come in from all over the world.

During the Christmas season business doubles as a result of people looking to purchase a unique gift for

ple started asking to buy it; it kind of grew out of that.”

Expressions Fashion Boutique New Location Expressions Fashion Boutique is a locally owned, independent boutique that has been bringing fashions to Kingston and area for the past 23 years. It has recently moved to a new location and is happily residing in The Queensbury building on Princess Street just east of Centennial Drive (on the site of the old Herbie’s plaza) beside Tim Horton’s. There are several new retail stores in the Queensbury and they all work together to create an interesting shopping experience. Come and enjoy!

Expressions offers a boutique atmosphere at a moderate price point.

One of the main strengths of the store is the variety of product it offers. The shop carries more than 60 different labels that in turn provide an impres-

sive selection of fashionable styles which appeal to a wide variety of ages. Petite, regular and plus sizing are offered. While the majority of the inventory could be labelled “smart casual,” they do offer a dressier collection for the special occasion. Do check out the wonderful palette of colour for this fall. Out with the dull and in with the brights! You won’t be disappointed!

Another strength is the alteration service. Expressions offers an on-site seamstress 2 days a week.

She is available for special fittings at this time. The garments are then altered in a timely fashion and can even be delivered to your door.

The goal of EFB is to have the customer enjoy a positive, relaxed shopping experience and hopefully

achieve her shopping goal before she leaves the store. The friendly staff is well informed and helpful, welcoming many of the customers by name. They are more than willing to place a special order for an item that may not be in stock.

The success rate on re-orders is about 75%, especially early in the season. The staff works as a team to provide a worthwhile shopping experience. We have a lot of “shopping friends” at EFB. Expressions supports the Kingston community by presenting fund raising fashion shows and offering many gift certificates and door prizes to various organizations. Some of these groups are: Kingston Symphony, Kingston Chamber Choir, University Hospitals Kingston

Foundation, The Child Development Center at the Hotel Dieu, The United Way, Diabetes Foundation, Heart and Stroke Foundation, and The Children’s Wish Foundation, to name only a few.

Two exciting events are on the calendar for Expressions this fall.

One is a Joseph Ribkoff trunk show at the store on October 11th.

The sales rep for this label will be at the store with a special collection for viewing, trying on and ordering. Watch our web site for further details on this event. The second October date to note is the 20th.

Expressions will be holding their fall fashion show at the Cataraqui Golf club at noon hour. A ticket includes lunch and the fashion show and is in support of the Kingston

Symphony Orchestra. This will be a sell out event so don’t miss out.

Tickets are available at the store.

Fall will soon be officially here.

The store is looking it’s finest and

is ready for your visit. “EXPRESS YOURSELF IN STYLE” by visiting Expressions Fashion Boutique soon.

Consignment/Thrift shopping is an adventure! Not only will you save money and leave a smaller footprint but you will find many unique and fascinating items to get your creative juices flowing. Decorating on a budget is exciting and rewarding when you invest a little time and energy by visiting local ‘resale’ shops. Imagine your friend’s faces when you tell them that that gorgeous outfit you are wearing came from ‘this fabulous little boutique’ you found… at a fraction of the cost of new!

with the purchase of House of Telephones, a supplier of cloth covered phone cords.

“It’s funny how these opportunities come up and you just sort of stumble into them sometimes,” Woodbury said. “It just slowly built and once we got the internet presence up it took off. Movie companies started finding us, Broadway found us. We have a regular stream of phones that are going out for TV and movie. Most recent one was Men in Black 3; we did the phones for that.”

This year the 21 st annual Canadian Antique Telephone Show and Sale is being held in the Limestone City. Considering Woodbury’s love of technology and the telephone, it’s no surprise that he is heading up the event, which will feature Canada’s most experienced and knowledge-

able phone collectors.

This year’s event is being held at the Military Communications and Electronics Museum, 95 Craftsman Blvd., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 29.

A variety of vintage telephones and phone parts will be on display and available for sale at the event.

“You never know what people are going to bring,” Woodbury said of the selection that will be on display and for sale. “Not much of it is going to be refurbished to new standards like we do here. A lot of it is just going to be raw stuff, straight out of grandma’s barn type of thing.”

However, Oldphoneworks will be on hand and have some of their refurbished phones on display as well.

“We provide the collector community with parts… so we will be taking some of those parts to the show because the collectors like

those parts, but for the general public we will also be bringing some of our refurbished products and have a pretty good display out of that stuff as well,” Woodbury said.

He said he believes the event will be a draw not only to fellow collectors, but also those interested in antiques and communications.

“I think there are a lot of people on the base who are going to be interested in what we have… a lot of people there are involved in communications,” adding, “There are a lot of people who like antiques in Kingston. There are a lot of people who spend their weekend just cruising the antique fairs and antique stores around the area; this is just another place.”
