K-Rock Centre’s management team gets contract renewal, council scolding Fronts open season Pg. 20

EMC News – Despite years of financial shortfalls, SMG has won the contract to continue managing Kingston’s flagship arena. “Most of us are disappointed with SMG. They didn’t deliver,” said Coun. Rob Hutchison. But, in the end, councillors said the private company’s business plan still offered more financial guarantees than its rivals. “We stepped up. It showed our confidence and our abilities. I think it shows our faith in this market and in our partnership

with the city,” said a delighted Harry Cann, senior regional vice president for SMG Canada, before returning to Philadelphia. Two of North America’s largest arena management firms – SMG and Global Spectrum – went head to head in competitive bids to run the K-Rock Centre for the next five years. A staff review committee actually gave the edge to Global Spectrum’s proposal, based on a superior marketing and customer service strategy. “There’s an element of risk from both proponents,” noted commissioner Denis Leger. But councillors were swayed by SMG’s promise to deliver a minimum guar-

anteed profit of $700,000 a year, something Global officials did not offer, according to city staff. Money talked. “I am going for the cash in the bank,” said Coun. Rick Downes. K-Rock Centre’s net income has ranged from a high of $822,000 in 2009 to as low as $546,000 in 2011. The arena needs to generate $1.1 million a year in order to pay down the construction debt, which means taxpayers have been underwriting the difference. SMG’s $700,000 minimum profit guarantee was viewed as a good starting point. “I don’t think residents in Kingston want to take on more financial risk. I think

we need to stay the course,” said Coun. Lisa Osanic. Councillors spent two hours dissecting each business plan at their September 18 meeting. A third proposal by RG Properties did not make the staff short list. It took two votes to seal the deal; 11-2 to reject the first motion supporting Global Spectrum’s offer, then a 12-1 vote in favour of SMG’s bid. Only mayor Mark Gerretsen and Councillor Jim Neill sided with Global’s bid, arguing it’s time for a fresh face and new ideas. “This is an opportunity to realize greater potential,” said Coun. Neill, noting Global successfully

manages arenas with hockey teams. He added: “This will be a missed opportunity … rewarding a company (SMG) that’s consistently underperformed.” SMG and Global executives, who exchanged pleasantries with each other but sat at opposite sides of the room, were not allowed to speak to council during the debate. While councillors grabbed the financial guarantee, they also scolded SMG for not doing a better job during the past four years to improve arena marketing, customer service, consultation with See SMG page 4

OLG gives city extra time to roll the dice on casino By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – The man tasked with bringing the province an extra one billion dollars a year in gaming revenues made his casino pitch to Kingston. “There are plenty of willing hosts,” said Rod Phillips, president and chief executive officer of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). So far, 33 communities have expressed an interest in hosting a private casino with another 30 studying the idea, he explained during a September 18 presentation to city council. “We think Kingston would be a good location,” he added, while careful not to take sides between Kingston’s debate and Gananoque’s stated attempt to keep the Thousand Is-

lands casino. Phillips, who was appointed OLG’s head in 2011, also revealed that Kingston can take until the end of this year to decide whether it wants a piece of the action. But he reminded councillors that a vote for a host city doesn’t guarantee a gaming centre. The OLG and private casino operators will have the final say on which communities will ultimately get casinos. The OLG will begin the process of selecting private operators this fall as it refocuses its role to providing oversight and regulation, not running the facilities. Phillips repeatedly made it clear the OLG won’t force casinos on communities that don’t want them. “Casinos will not be in places where they’re not welcome.”

Phillips says Kingston’s share of slot machine revenues would likely reflect the experience at London, Ontario’s Western Fair – raking in about $46 million in slot profits since it opened in 1999. But he says he won’t provide Kingston with a specific percentage of annual slot revenues for a few more weeks. Council is still debating host city status, and is poised to make a decision October 2. The cash flow details have intrigued mayor Mark Gerretsen, who says he may favour holding off the council vote for a few more weeks until the revenue percentages are disclosed. “If there’s an opportunity for us to better educate ourselves on this, there’s no rush to get into a decision one way or another.” Councillors spent nearly

two hours grilling Phillips over the casino expansion strategy – with questions ranging from problem gambling to organized crime. There were several questions on whether Kingston can attach conditions to hosting a casino, such as where it could or could not be located. “That’s entirely acceptable,” Phillips responded, but cautioned that too many conditions may dissuade private casino investors from considering Kingston. He was vague in addressing concerns that putting a casino in the downtown could siphon consumer money away from existing bars, restaurants, stores and other businesses. The downtown BIA is on record opposing a casino in the city. Phillips says deciding to host a casino is the first

step. Then, it’s up to private companies to scout locations and consult with city officials. “It’s an evolution of acceptance. We take that seriously,” he explained of the OLG’s revamped business model that will potentially see as many as 29 privately owned and operated casinos in Ontario. The government gaming agency says three million people visited a casino and eight million people played lotteries last year, generating two billion dollars in profits. The cash-strapped provincial government wants those revenues to increase to three billion dollars within the next five years. Any casino in Kingston would house about 600 slot machines – 100 more than Gananoque’s – plus an unknown number of card

tables. Phillips insists any casino in this zone will not be “Vegas-stye” but could include amenities such as a convention centre based on proposals from the casino operator. Kingston is in the same gaming zone as Gananoque. Under the OLG’s rules only one community will be allowed to have a casino per zone. OLG profits stay in Ontario to fund hospitals, urban infrastructure and the Trillium Foundation, Phillips noted. “It’s the best form of investment you can make for your entertainment dollar.” When asked whether Kingston would trump Gananoque as a host community, Phillips gave an ambiguous reply: “We are a long way from that. The question is – is Kingston open to the idea?” 0927.R0011638126

K-Rock Centre’s management Kingston waits for province to take the lead team gets contract renewal, council scolding on proposed tan ban By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – The City of Kingston has shelved plans to study a ban on people under the age of 18 from using indoor tanning beds. “Looks like the premier is stealing our thunder,” said Coun. Jeff Scott. His September 18 motion would have set the wheels in motion for staff to study options for a municipal bylaw to prohibit teenage tanning, and report the ﬁndings to a committee by March 2013. However, council supported Coun. Scott’s request to defer his own motion until after the Ontario government makes a decision on the same matter. “The premier has taken an interest in this. We could be possibly duplicating that work,” Scott explained. Premier Dalton McGuinty recently signalled his minority Liberal government would support an NDP private member’s bill to ban salon tanning for people under 18 to reduce the risk of young people getting skin cancer. The bill will soon come up for second reading in the Legislature.

Council’s deferral goes against the advice of the Kingston-area public health unit, which urged city officials to proceed with a local study due to political uncertainty at the provincial level. “We are not guaranteed this will pass given the minority government,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, associate medical officer of health. He urged Kingston to take the lead on regulating tanning salons as it did with the indoor smoking and, recently, a proposed ban on smoking in outdoor public places. “Sometimes municipalities have to show leadership that the province doesn’t.” Proposed legislation to regulate tanning salons has twice been introduced at Queen’s Park, and twice failed to pass. The last time, the bill died when an election was called. Coun. Scott’s motion, which originated from the health unit board, would outlaw indoor tanning for those under 19, while the NDP private members bill would ban tanning under 18. The under-19 ban was suggested by local health officials because the age is consistent with to-

bacco and alcohol laws. Despite extensive public ads warning young people about the dangers of tanning rays, a survey showed that 21 percent of students in Grade 12 have used a tanning bed, and 85 percent of those are women. In a presentation to council, Dr. Moore voiced concern that more young people are being diagnosed with melanoma due to exposure to the ultra-violet radiation from tanning beds. The quest for a bronze look increases the risk of skin cancer by 87 percent in people under the age of 35, he added. Signs of melanoma include the presence of irregular shaped moles that are beyond the diameter of a pencil eraser, he explained. “Education can only go so far. Sometime you need regulation to change behaviour.” He admits tanning salons are popular, not just among teens. “There are 18 tanning salons in the Kingston area. We have the same number of Tim Hortons.”\

community stakeholders, and even its failure to offer customers the option of credit or debit payments at concession stands (which SMG says it will now do). “The near-death experience will, hopefully, change some behaviours,” Coun. Downes remarked just moments after the votes were counted. In an interview with reporters, Cann acknowledged political frustration over some aspects of the operation, but defended his company’s overall track record in managing a facility that has attracted some big

entertainers while winning Venue of the Year awards. “I haven’t been able to find a building that performed as well financially as this one in a market this size. And we’re going to build on that.” SMG says it intends to assume more financial risk itself – essentially playing the role of concert promoter – to bring more acts to town. It also promises more marketing, local consultation, and a greater focus on customer service. Its immediate concern is leasing four vacant suites and meeting this year’s $700,000 net income target. Global Spectrum’s three executives, who drove in

from Connecticut and London, Ontario, to attend the contract debate, left the meeting disappointed. “I think they could’ve made a better decision. We’ve said all we can say. I think we offered a great opportunity,” said Frank Russo, Global’s senior vice president of business development. Russo insisted his company was prepared to offer an arena profit guarantee to Kingston just as SMG did, but not until after the council vote, which will trigger formal contract negotiations. “They asked us in the interview if we’d offer a guarantee and we said yes. It never came up (again).”

City Commentary

By Bill Hutchins editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Editorial – Did city council’s casino conundrum just get easier or tougher to resolve after a recent appearance by Ontario’s top gambling custodian? Rod Phillips, president and CEO of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), sure made a smooth sales pitch on the benefits of hosting a casino, while ducking some of the more contentious issues. To hear Phillips rhyme off casino revenue stats during a stop at Kingston city hall, in between similar presentations at Hamilton and North Bay councils, one almost feels compelled to go gambling to support the Trillium Foundation, health care and urban infrastructure, not to mention, paying down Ontario’s crippling deficit. As a crown agency, the OLG sinks about $2 billion a year into provincial coffers. The province is keen to up the ante to $3 billion a year; hence the need for a revamped business model that will put casino keys in the hands of private investors turning out more profits. So, should Kingston get into the game? To hear Phillips answer, there’s no harm to jump in as a willing host city and then see what private proposals may surface later. “It’s really a question of whether Kingston and the Kingston council want to be open to the idea. It’s not about a decision to have a facility or not.” Much has been said about the rushed decision-making process. Phillips responded by saying that communities can wait until the end of the year to make an informed decision, but the province won’t wait forever to implement its casino expansion plan. Members of the Downtown Kingston BIA listened intently as councillors grilled Phillips about the risks and benefits of hosting a casino. After the presentation, BIA chair and former councillor Ed Smith made it a point to confront Phillips, at the end of a media scrum, about some unanswered questions. “There is no question this is good for government,” Smith told the OLG boss about fixing the province’s debt crisis, adding: “I’m not sure casinos and more lotteries are the way to do it.” Phillips, a crown employee not about to trash his boss, stood nose to nose with Smith to defend legalized gaming and its benefits. Smith also suggested the OLG head was “hiding” information about not doing a costbenefit analysis on the displace-

ment effect of urban casinos. The BIA has a real concern that a gambling facility, particularly in the downtown, could suck the life out of existing businesses because there’s only so much ‘entertainment’ disposable money Kingston residents can spend. Phillips pointed to testimonials from other mayors and

EDITORIAL

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.

In your words... Letters to the editor

Recycling...the big hoax Dear editor, Walking back from the store just now, I noticed two batteries on the ground within the span of a few steps. I thought it funny to consider that in other countries, four year olds would be fighting over that valuable find. Those things are worth something, and yet in Canada we throw them in the trash like they are worthless. The same could be said for much of the trash I see around. I walk through a high school football field daily to the store or to catch the bus, and I could easily make a few bucks a day simply by collecting the bottles and cans for their deposit. Except here in Ontario, we don’t do that anymore. If I lived in Quebec, I and any other tree-huggers could help fight pollution and make some spare change at the same time! The jig is up…cans and bottles are worth money or they wouldn’t collect them at the curb. This brings me to another

beef I have with Ontario; recycling in general. Don’t get me wrong, as many people know, I live and breathe recycling. And based on the number of blue and grey bins on the curb each week, I am not alone. I even noticed how neatly my neighbor bound his cardboard last week! We are a people who want recycling to work. We see the value in it. And even though we live in a relatively clean country, we still see that the need is greater than what we see in our own back yards. As strange as this sounds, I feel a wave of pride each week when I see all of my neighbors dedicating time to mother nature, and don’t even get me started on the recycling stations I see popping up at even privately owned stores and restaurants! How great! You can imagine my despair and sheer and utter disgust when I realized that the majority of our Government institutions do not recycle...at all. Our prison kitchens do not recycle. Our military

kitchens do not recycle. So this got me searching and questioning and what I found was even more depressing. The recycling stations at your local coffee shop are great in theory, but these bins are not especially user-friendly, and so customers simply throw their waste in whichever bin is closest. The workers at said coffee shop are not permitted to remove recyclables from the trash. Therefore if there is even one tissue in the bin for cans and bottles, the whole thing will be trashed. Let’s look at another polluter. Grocery and convenience stores throw out immense numbers of plastic garbage. They would surely set up systems to follow if they were given credit for recycling. As it stands today, it costs money for stores to recycle. They have to pay a company to come and pick recyclables up. What corporation is going to give even a few hundred dollars a year to do something that they don’t have to do?

We have now pulled out of the Kyoto program, saving Canada millions of dollars. Why not spend a tiny drop of that money and initiate a program to inspire your people to clean up the province for you! At minimum wage, a person would have to pick up about 103 ten cent cans or bottles per hour. Wow…that’s what I call productivity and a wage well spent! To illustrate better, at this very moment I could walk across that field and pick up at least fifty recyclable cans and bottles in a matter of about fifteen minutes. I would like to close by thanking all of my neighbors and fellow Ontarians for doing their part each week and each day to keep the outdoors clean. But I would also like to compel you to demand better! We live in one of the greatest countries on the planet. Let’s demand that it is kept clean! Dianna Donnelly

EMC - Your Community Newspaper IN OUR OPINION

In Our Opinion

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.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

All about the Wolfe Island ferry this time of year By Margaret Knott Correspondent

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 saving 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. (EMC Sept.19th), I extolled the 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.

BIKE SHARE SURVEY e City, St. Lawrence College and Queen’s University are seeking resident and student input to help develop a Bike Share System in Kingston. A Bike Share System offers members access to bicycles parked at stations in high use areas around town for short trips. A 15-question Your Opinion survey at www.CityofKingston.ca/bikeshare will accept submissions until October 29. e survey asks residents questions about how they move around the City, how often they think they would use a Bike Share system, where they would like to see Bike Share stations and how much they would be willing to pay annually to use the proposed service. Bike Share Systems provide low cost transportation to users and offer an active and sustainable alternative to driving, helping to reduce traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution. Bike Sharing is an extension of the public transit network giving transit users more options at both the start and end of their trips. Bike Share memberships would be open to everyone for a small fee. If you are a person with a disability and need accessibility information about a City of Kingston service or facility – or, if you require information in an other format – contact 613-546-0000 weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or e-mail contactus@cityofkingston.ca.

It may not be ‘Dredd’-ful, but film’s not a must-see either My Take By mARK HAsKins

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 jungle that

Canada Jack By JoHn tUcKER

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

MOVIE: Dredd STARRING: Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, and Lena Headey DIRECTOR: Pete Travis RATING: 18A 200-storey mega structure called Peach Trees. Three people are dead, and when 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 Slo-Mo 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 com-

plicated 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 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.

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 breadmaking 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 oneminute 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 covered. Don’t be concerned if the apples are piled up. They’ll settle during 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 oth-

er 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.

Kingston Writersfest presents a morning of festival fund for kids and families By Kristen Coughlar

kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just really excited to make sure that families do read and to provide opportunities for them to discover how much fun it is,â&#x20AC;? Simonds said. One such opportunity comes in the form of the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Waterfront. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided that we wanted to make a whole morning of events; not just of presentations by authors, but also games,â&#x20AC;? Simonds explained. The free Kids on Sunday event will kick off with a book swap, where children can exchange a book theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already read for a

new literary adventure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids who read go through books at a great pace, so they can bring something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already read and pick up something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new to them,â&#x20AC;? 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 neededâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;paper, markers, kiddie scissors, and glueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for participants to express their creativity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[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 Wallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Brown Shoe, so kids will be encouraged to tell stories about shoes that have been important in their lives,â&#x20AC;? Simonds explained. Kids will also get a visit

EMC News - The poignant messages that were at the centre of a 2011 campaign targeting potential perpetrators of alcoholrelated 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

Despite the movies, books, historical references and personal delving into his story, there is much that is still a mystery about the story of Dracula -- the mythological figure purported to feed on the blood of unsuspecting victims. The blood-sucking being explored in the novel by Bram Stoker is believed to have been loosely based on an individual from Romania credited with heinous and bloody crimes. Vlad III, also known as Vlad Tepes “Vlad the Impaler,” descended from a father named Vlad II Dracul from the House of Draculesti. This was in the House of Basarab. These people were a family that had an important role in the establishing of the Principality of Wallachia, a geographical region in Romania. The Romanian word “drac,” derived from the Latin word “draco,” means both dragon and devil. Vlad III was a prince who spent much of his rule campaigning against the Ottoman Empire and its expansion. He was well known for impaling his enemies, and his reputation for his excessive cruelty grew throughout Europe. He was likely dubbed “Dracula” thanks to his family name. Many people believe that Bram Stoker borrowed loosely on the tale of Vlad III to create his book. Other than the name and the region in the world where Count Dracula was supposed to have lived, there are no real similarities between the fictional and historical Dracula. According to a book written by Nicolae Stoicescu entitled “Vlad Tepes,” the author expresses resentment about how the historical figure of Dracula had been appropriated by the West and converted into a popular horror icon. He is quoted as saying, “This nonsense ascribed to Dracula [the novel] is highly popular and overshadows the true image of the Prince of Walachia. Those who would like to go on cultivating Dracula the vampire are free to do it without, however, forgetting that he has nothing in common with the Romanian history where the real Vlad Tepes whom we know by his deeds holds a place of honor.”

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.

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. 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 extra-curricular activities, it’s what the wise man next to me says. A shame.

Sensory treats, not tricks, at Pumpkinferno Mark Bergin Columnist mbergin@theemc.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. After the carving, special light-

ing 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 See PUMPKIN page 24

the pumpkins are carved, they become fragile, so great care has to be taken in the setup and take-down process. “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 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 Halloween-themed 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 (613-543-0660) 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.

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 is derived from the handheld bombs dropped from aircrafts during the First World War. Left: The flour bombing target as seen during a bombing run on Sunday morning. Inset: An actual aerial hand dropped bomb from the First World War

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 Theatre 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 theatre. Everything around you is affecting how you interact with the show, she said. Kingston is such a good

The Library Chronicles runs now until Oct. 20 at the central branch of the Kingston, Frontenac Public Library. 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 cross-pollination 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., 613-530-2050, www.kingstongrand.ca. A small number of tickets may be available at the door. Performances take place each night at 7 p.m.

AUTOMOTIVE

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

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 case we normally post “may dispensing pump should be contain up to 10% Ethanol” at labeled with that information. sites that can receive ethanol In vehicles built before the mid blended gasoline.

Be afraid.... be very afraid EMC Events - Members of the Frontenac Paramedic Service took part in the Run for your Lives Zombie race in Oro, Ontario last weekend. Like other obstacle races, participants are running against the clock and through physically challenging obstacles. Unlike other obstacle races, runners try to dodge and escape from zombies roaming the course trying to grab flags from runners’ flagbelts, similar to flag football. Members Julie Socha, Joanne Marois, Kim Taylor, Alexis Purvis and Bonnie Stewart were transformed into the undead by professional makeup artists.

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, September 27, 2012

news

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

With the wind at their backs 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 here, the more chances there are for people to have conversations,” said Lamarche. 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.

Women take the streets of Kingston last week as part of the Take Back the Night demonstration.

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.

Fall tradition of burning leaves became a family pastime EMC Lifestyle – This time of year, we all smelled the same at the Northcote School. The heavy scent of

Burning leaves was something we all looked forward to at our farm and as far as I knew everyone in Northcote did the same thing. So none of us minded the heavy smell of smoke on our clothes that took days to get rid of. Well, that is, we five kids and Mother. Father said making the event into a grand affair was something he had little time for. Too many other more important things to do on the farm instead of making a party out of burning leaves! Our front and side yards were full of big maple trees, and by the time the last of the summer rolled around, the leaves were, in some places, knee deep. We waited until the limbs were completely bare, and then, always on a Saturday, it was time to rake the leaves and pile them into big mounds well away from the house and barns. “You’re asking for trouble,” Father would say. “Just one little spark and the whole place would go up in smoke.” Mother paid him no heed, asking him to come up with even one barn or house that had been burned to the ground because of

burning leaves penetrated everything we wore, and no amount of airing out could eliminate the odour of our smoke-infested clothes. But none of us minded.

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!

OPP, the sergeant asked me what happened. I told him I was coming home from my girlfriend’s place and started to fall asleep. He said: ‘No, no. We don’t say that. There’s a lot of deer on that road. Go ahead with your story.’ Not likely to happen today. “I bought the 1950 Chev convertible at RM Auction in Toronto in 2008. 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. The first Chevrolet hardtop, called the Bel Air after one of Hollywood’s upscale neighbourhood, appeared in 1950, giving you the stylish look of a convertible combined with the weather-tight protection of a sedan, and bringing this new body style to the low price field for the first time. It featured fancy trim that included simulated convertible-top bows on the headliner. Ford

A trip I’ll never forget Coughlar's Corner By Kristen Coughlar kcoughlar@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Editorial – This time last year I was more than 6,000 kilometers from the Limestone City. In fact, on this very date I would have been on a train headed for Pisa and then Cinque Terre. Early last year I decided that I would take my ﬁrst major trip. I had previously travelled, to Vancouver, South Carolina, and Florida, but my only travels outside of North America were to Grand Bahama Island, an island located 90 kilometers off the state of Florida. Needless to say, my impending trip to Europe was a big deal, especially considering I would be travelling solo.

arrived safe and sound. It was a chore, but I finally managed to track down and purchase a calling card. Then came the frustrating task of figuring out how to call home. What’s Canada’s international calling code? No idea, and of course there isn’t a list of calling codes listed on the back of the calling card, and the guy manning the front desk of my hotel isn’t sure. I’m not sure how I figured it out, but I managed to make the call home and let everyone know I had arrived at my destination. I then called my phone service provider, who informed me that the original representative I had spoken to had provided me with bad information and my phone would not work overseas. Great, so much for my planning. That was probably the most frustrating part of my trip, finding ways to touch base with those back in Kingston. I had never travelled alone and I knew my

Well, kind of. I signed on with G Adventures, a travel company specializing in small group adventure travel and independent travel to over 100 countries. On Sept. 24 I boarded a plane in Toronto and settled in for the nine hour ﬂight to Venice, Italy. I thought I had covered all my bases. Prior to leaving Canada I had touched base with my cell phone provider to ensure that my phone had the capabilities to operate overseas and bought an international text messaging feature so I could keep my family up-to-date on my travels. Low and behold, when I arrived at the airport in Venice, my phone didn’t work. Venice was gorgeous, exactly the way I had pictured it in my mind’s eye. At the time, I wasn’t able to fully enjoy it. My thoughts were focused on locating my hotel and ﬁnding a way to get word back home that I had

to look down at my knee; it was the size of a grapefruit. I was alone in a foreign country, injured and my health insurance was back at the hotel. I sat down on the ground not knowing what to do; I was worried I had broken my knee. Minutes passed. I was in a panic, unsure what to do, until a woman approached me. She said she was a nurse vacationing from the U.S. She looked me over and said that while she didn’t think my knee was broken, I shouldn’t continue my exploration of the city. I hopped on a bus and made my way back to the hotel. Of course hotel staff couldn’t tell me where to find a pharmacy, so I hobbled off to hunt one down. The rest of my travel group was still off exploring. I was looking for a tensor bandage and an ice pack. What I eventually found was a tensor and a bag of frozen asparagus. You can imagine the looks I got as I

mom would want me to check in every now and then. From hotels and hostels with no phone, to pay phones that only took certain varieties of calling cards, to international calling centres with shoddy equipment, communicating back home was a pain in the ass, and occurred every other day throughout my trip. As if that weren’t enough, on the very last day of my vacation it seems Italy wanted to give me a sendoff I’d remember. I was in Rome. After hitting the Coliseum I made my way over to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. As I made my way down a cobblestone pathway hoping to explore the ruins from the ground ﬂoor, I lost my footing and fell. I got back on my feet and a man came running over offering to clean up my scrapes with a bottle of water. I was ready to brush myself off, having only suffered a few cuts and bruises. Or so I thought. I took one step and the pain caused me

made the trek back to hotel. I wasn’t about to let my injury ruin my last day in Italy and my only day in Rome. Later that night I set out to find the Trevi Fountain. I’m glad I did; seeing it was one of the highlights of my trip. My flight home the next morning was a long one. While only an hour longer than my initial flight, it felt like an eternity. An injured knee and low cabin pressure don’t mix well. By the time I landed in Toronto my knee, leg and ankle had ballooned. Let’s just say my first solo trip did not go as smoothly as I had envisioned. Would I take it back? No way. The sights I saw, the experiences I had and the people I met were amazing. At the time, my struggles were both painful and frustrating; today, they’re fond memories. In fact, the thought of me and my makeshift ice pack now brings a smile to my face. I wish I had kept the packaging.

Singer explores the mysteries of music Mark Bergin Columnist mbergin@theemc.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 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 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 Andromahi Ra ptis, a KCVI grad, is in her final year of Donizetti’s “In questo sem- undergradu ate studes in voice perfor mance at the plice modesto asilo,” De- Universit y of Toronto. bussy’s “Romance,” and Puccini’s “O mio babbino comShe also caro.” pared her to, she explores every She looks playful when she corner and nuance of each piece improved her German language skills.

Put pumpkins to use in many different ways Autumn is the season when pumpkins are ripe for the picking, and thousands of people flock to local farms and roadside vendors to select perfect pumpkins. Many pumpkins are turned into decorative jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween, only to be tossed in the trash

come November 1. That could be because many people are unaware of the various ways they can put pumpkins to good use. Pumpkins are gourds and members of the squash family and have been grown and used for thousands of years. Evidence suggests

that pumpkins date back to 7000 B.C., possibly originating in Mexico. Today they are widely used for decorating around Halloween, but there are many other things that can be done with pumpkins. * Create a food vessel. Pumpkins can be transformed into bowls to hold soup, punch, fruit, or even dips. Make sure the pumpkin has been cleaned well of its pulp and seeds, as well as the stringy flesh that is inside. Rub the inside walls of the pumpkin with oil to keep them from drying out and caving in, then fill with your food of choice. * Make pumpkin puree. Puree from a pumpkin can be used in all types of recipes, from soups to baked goods. The puree also can replace the oil in cake recipes. Cut the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and stringy membranes. Then place it cut-side-down in a pan with a little water in the bottom. Bake at 350 F for around 90 minutes. The flesh will become tender and easily removable. Blend the resulting puree in a food processor and reserve flesh for recipes. Some pumpkins are sweeter or better to use as part of recipes. Check the variety you’re purchasing. * Whip up a facial. Use some pumpkin puree with a little brown sugar and a dash of milk to create a vitamin-rich facial mask. * Get illuminated. Turn hollowed-out mini pumpkins into candles. Melt soy wax, beeswax or the gel

type of candle wax that can be found at most craft stores. Add your favorite scent and place a wick into the bottom of the pumpkin. Then pour the wax into hallowed-out space and allow it to harden. Try the same thing with bumpy and multi-colored gourds for added decorating appeal. * Turn the pumpkin into a flower pot. Fill a hollow pumpkin with soil. You may not have to worry about scraping the pumpkin completely clean because the pulp can be used to help fertilize the potting soil. Plant your favorite fall flowers into the festive and

earth-friendly flower pot. When the pumpkin shows signs of rotting, simply put the whole thing into a traditional flower pot or bury it directly in the ground. * Make pumpkin stock. While vegetable or meatbased stocks may be the standards, pumpkin can be used to make stock as well. Clean out the seeds from the stringy guts of the pumpkin and put the guts into a pot filled with water. Add celery, carrots or any other aromatic vegetables for extra flavor. Allow to boil for at least 30 minutes. The stock is ready when it begins to change color. Strain and re-

serve the stock for use in a variety of recipes. * Add to compost bins. Pumpkins are rich in zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C, among other nutrients. You can add the discarded pumpkins to your backyard compost bins to further replenish the soil. * Turn into a billowing cauldron. Instead of a standard jack-o’-lantern, put a glass jar into the carved pumpkin, add dish soap and hot water to the jar and then put in a piece of dry ice. Bubbles and smoke will pour out of the pumpkin to create a spooktacular effect.

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age 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.

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.

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,

The EMC Real Estate Guide - Thursday, September 27, 2012

Beware of Mortgage or Title Fraud In a time where identity theft and Ponzi schemes are plastered across the daily news, the last thing you want to worry about is yet another way to lose your hard-earned money.

the property you will be purchasing • The seller or developer rebates you money on closing, and you don’t disclose this to your lending institution

dovetail with mortgage fraud or title fraud. For example, people who run “grow ops” or meth labs may use these forms of fraud to “purchase” their properties.

But as a homeowner, you need to be aware of crimes on the rise known as mortgage fraud and real estate title fraud.

“Straw Buyer” Scheme

The Fallout for Lenders

Because of the recession, more people are desperate and eager to find a way to hang onto their homes. A couple was recently arrested in Canada after duping 100 families looking for help to avoid foreclosure in the US.

Fortunately (for you, at least), mortgage fraud typically hurts the lender the most.

Mortgage Fraud The most common type of mortgage fraud involves a criminal obtaining a property, then increasing its value through a series of sales and resales involving the fraudster and someone working in cooperation with them. A mortgage is then secured for the property based on the inflated price. Following are some red flags for mortgage fraud: • Someone offers you money to use your name and credit information to obtain a mortgage • You are encouraged to include false information on a mortgage application • You are asked to leave signature lines or other important areas of your mortgage application blank • The seller or investment advisor discourages you from seeing or inspecting

Canadian precedents have been set in which banks are held responsible for mortgage fraud. The BC Court of Appeals recently ruled that “the lender – not the rightful property owner – is the one out of luck in a fraudulent mortgage scheme” and that lenders “must ensure their mortgages are valid by taking steps to ensure that the registered owner obtained title to the property legally.” The same conclusion was made by the Ontario Courts a couple of years ago.

Another term for mortgage fraud is the “straw” or “dummy” homebuyer scheme. For instance, a renter does not have a good credit rating or is self-employed and cannot get a mortgage, or doesn’t have a sufficient down payment, so he or she cannot purchase a home. He/she or an associate approaches someone else with solid credit. This person is offered a sum of money (can be as much as $10,000) to go through the motions of buying a property on the other person’s behalf – acting as a straw buyer. The person with good credit lends their name and credit rating to the person who cannot be approved for a mortgage for his or her purchase of a home.

Banks, as you can imagine, aren’t too thrilled about this trend. Royal Bank of Canada recently sued a former bank employee over an alleged mortgage fraud scheme. Title Fraud Sadly, the only red flag for title fraud occurs when your mortgage mysteriously

Other types of criminal activity often

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

goes into default and the lender begins foreclosure proceedings. Even worse, as the homeowner, you are the one hurt by title fraud, rather than the lender, as is the case with mortgage fraud. Unlike with mortgage fraud, during title fraud, you haven’t been approached or offered anything – this is a form of identity theft. Here’s what happens with title fraud: A criminal – using false identification to pose as you – registers forged documents transferring your property to his/her name, then registers a forced discharge of your existing mortgage and gets a new mortgage against your property. Then the fraudster makes off with the new home loan money without making mortgage payments. The bank thinks you are the one defaulting – and your economic downfall begins. Following are ways you can protect yourself from title fraud: • Always view the property you are purchasing in person • Check listings in the community where the property is located – compare features, size and location to establish if the asking price seems reasonable • Make sure your representative is a li-

censed real estate agent • Beware of a real estate agent or mortgage broker who has a financial interest in the transaction • Ask for a copy of the land title or go to a registry office and request a historical title search • In the offer to purchase, include the option to have the property appraised by a designated or accredited appraiser • Insist on a home inspection to guard against buying a home that has been cosmetically renovated or formerly used as a grow house or meth lab • Ask to see receipts for recent renovations • When you make a deposit, ensure your money is protected by being held “in trust” • Consider the purchase of title insurance It’s important to remember that if something doesn’t seem right, it usually isn’t – always follow your instincts when it comes to red flags during the home buying and mortgage processes.
