walk off the earth
Juno award winner, Walk Off The Earth, the indie-pop band known for their chart topping originals and unique covers of current hits, have released a new holiday album, Subscribe To The Holidays. We sat down with band member, Gianni Luminati to discuss the new album, their current tour and what it meant to perform for their hometown of Burlington at the recent Rogers Hometown Hockey weekend. By C as e y E lo g i o
q : Yo u r ec e n t ly p e r fo r m e d i n B u r l i n gto n fo r H o m e tow n H o c k e y. W h at was i t l i k e to p e r fo r m i n f r o n t o f yo u r h o m e tow n?
It’s something that’s just surreal. Growing up in that town, you see bands that you looked up to performing on stage at City Hall and it’s something you’ve always dreamed about and then being able to do it, with all your family and friends around who are so proud of what you’ve accomplished. It was a really cool moment and as soon as we got the opportunity to do that, we jumped on it.

q : Yo u r m o m was a m u s i c t e ac h e r , w h i c h c ata p u lt e d yo u i n to a wo r l d o f m u s i c . W h at r o l e d i d t h e tow n o f B u r l i n gto n p l ay i n yo u r d e v e lo p m e n t as a m u s i c i a n? a: I
think the town of Burlington contributed a lot because I know a lot of people from different towns and I think there’s something about Burlington that has a huge music culture surrounding the adults and kids. I’m not really sure if it’s the Long and McQuade music store or all the different places like Music Gym, where we could go as kids and have jam sessions, but there is something about the town that’s ingrained in the culture to encourage kids to start a band and learn guitar or drums, more so than other cities in Ontario. I think it has a lot to do with the way it morphs a lot of us into wanting to do this career. I think we’re blessed to grow up in the city where there’s a lot of opportunity and places to play shows and I think that all contributed to our career.
q : Yo u h av e a n e w E P co m i n g o u t s o o n c a l l e d “ S u b s c r i b e to T h e H o l i days .” w h at c a n yo u t e l l u s a b o u t i t? W h at was t h e m ot i vat i o n b e h i n d r e l e as i n g a h o l i day a l b u m?
It’s six songs and we’re really proud of it. It’s probably one of the strongest productions and mixes that we’ve ever done. It will definitely be our strongest holiday music we’ve ever released. We have some really cool collaborations on the album, like with singer/songwriter Scot Helman and we’re really excited about it. We’re even
a:
Sarah Blackwood.
going to be performing one of the songs on Good Morning America in a few weeks. We’re really proud of the production and the songs and we think people are really going to like it and get into the spirit. If anyone knows us, we’re obsessed with the holidays and the whole Christmas vibe. We always have been; we’ve put out a Christmas movie and pretty much every year, we release at least one or two holiday YouTube videos. This year we really wanted to make it right, so a couple months ago we just put a lot of time into it, to create a really good Holiday album and it’s just something that we love.
q : W h at was yo u r favo u r i t e C h r i st m as s o n g g r ow i n g u p ?
The Charlie Brown theme song. I’m kind of more into music than lyrics. I’ve always been drawn to instrumentals and
a:
something about that piano riff always resonated with me as a kid when I watched A Charlie Brown Christmas. I heard it and I’ve loved it ever since.
q : I lov e yo u r l at e st s i n g l e , “ F i f t h Av e n u e .” C a n yo u t e l l u s a l i t t l e b i t a b o u t t h at s o n g?
Fifth Avenue is a song we started writing a year and a half ago. I was in New York producing some beats for Walk Off The Earth singles. One of the producers I was working with and I made that beat and I sent it around to the rest of the band and they loved it. A lot of the band members actually spent a lot of time in New York City. In around 2012, my nephew Miles was on Broadway as the lead role in the Billy Elliot Broadway production. At the time, my sister worked for herself, so she moved there ››

Those are three very good ones, I’d love to collaborate with all three of them. I mean, I look up to Paul McCartney as a song writer more than anyone. I love catchy songs and I love songs that you fall in love with right away when you hear them and Paul McCartney is the master of that, so I would love to get in a room with him. He’s definitely one of my idols as a song writer, so I’d have to say Paul McCartney for sure.

with him, but she had a lot of stuff going on back and forth between New York City and Canada, so every once in a while, one of us from the band would go to help parent him for about a week or two and take him to the shows and stuff. We all spent a bunch of time down there during that year, right on Fifth Avenue. We all got inspired by the city, all the things that go on there and all the motivation that people have there to create art. Once we had that beat and we knew that we made the beat in New York City, we always wanted to write a song about our experience there, so the lyrics literally just poured out in a couple of hours, on top of that beat we had written in New York. It was kind of a New York centric song from start to finish and then we released it!

That was definitely a pivotal moment in our career. We had been working really
a:

COMMUNITYCAPTURED.CA
hard for many years on our music career, we did the local scene, we toured around on Warped Tour and we went around the states. As a musician, when you’re trying to break-out, it’s a very bipolar experience, for lack of a better word, because at one moment you’ll think this may actually work and a bunch of people are coming out to see your show and then you think “finally this is it,” and then you play the show and the record label never gets back to you. Then you’re back to square one and thinking, “is this ever going to work” or “am I going to have to figure out another job?” Once that video happened, we knew that the years of preparation and working on this had actually come to fruition. You can’t really explain that moment, it just happens and there are no words to describe it and you’re just very grateful. For us, we didn’t want to mess it up, so ever since it happened, we’ve worked really hard to keep making cool stuff and not let this opportunity fizzle out. We had worked for 15 years to try and make it happen and we’re definitely not going to throw it away, so we’ve been going hard ever since. We’re very grateful for everything that has happened.
q : I ’ m s u r e to u r i n g a r o u n d t h e wo r l d k e e p s yo u e x t r e m e ly b u sy. W h e r e d o yo u f i n d t h e t i m e a n d i n s p i r at i o n to c r e at e n e w s o n gs?
We work on Walk Off The Earth 365 days a year. For a band our size, we actually tour slightly less than other bands, because we’re in the studio every second that we’re not on the road. We tour about 100 days a year and the rest of the days of the year, we’re in the studio writing new songs and working on videos. It is hard to find time to focus on song writing, but we’re always creating different pieces of content, like we’re working on a cartoon right now. We do a bunch of cover albums and original albums, so it is hard to find time in general to specifically work on original music, but like I said, we don’t ever stop working so we’re in the studio every single day and we’re working on new stuff all the time and we love it.
a:
q : Yo u ’ r e c u r r e n t ly to u r i n g a r o u n d t h e U n i t e d Stat e s a n d C a n a da . W h at c a n t h e fa n s e x p ec t f r o m t h i s to u r?
Walk Off The Earth is always trying to change our shows. If you’ve seen us before, expect to see some new songs and stage tricks. We have a very engaging show with the fans from start to finish, we have a lot of songs that you will know if you’re not a fan of Walk Off The Earth because we do about 50% remakes and covers during our set. If you are a Walk Off The Earth fan, we’ll be playing all the classic hits that we’ve had over the years, along with a bunch of covers and sometimes we have guests come out and it’s non-stop from start to finish. We’re currently on tour in the states right now, with a bunch of American dates and then we’re going to be playing Toronto, Montreal, Truro and then a bunch of other dates through Canada next summer and we are loving it.
a:
q : W h at ’ s yo u r favo u r i t e t h i n g a b o u t b e i n g o n to u r?
Literally playing the shows themselves. I’m a homebody, so I love sleeping in my own bed and being back in the Hamilton area or Dundas Area, but I’d have to say being on stage and playing the show is the best part in touring. Sometimes you get to see some cool cities, but a lot of the
a:
time we’re pretty busy so you don’t get to fully experience the cities. So overall, my favourite is shows and being able to experience the cities and my least favourite is the actual travel, not sleeping, having early plane rides and all that stuff. That may be the bad side, but it’s still 100% worth it and I’m definitely not complaining.
q : Yo u h av e a l a r g e fo l low i n g o n Yo u T u b e a n d a lways p u t o u t r e a l ly u n i q u e v i d eo s . H ow d o yo u co m e u p w i t h i d e as fo r t h e m?
We just don’t overthink it. We just come up with stupid ideas and throw them out there and we just try to open our minds and find new instruments and new goofy things to do that you wouldn’t think would be a thing that you can do. It’s usually a sign that it’s the right move. It comes down to stupid ideas because usually the stupider the better, the funnier and the more engaging and entertaining it is. We’ve just put that into our brains over the years, to just throw out random ideas for different instruments and ideas and then we just write it down on our list and when we get time to implement some of them, we practice for a few weeks, try to figure it out, and then try to perform it live on tour.
q : To dat e , w h at ’ s yo u r favo u r i t e cov e r s o n g t h at yo u ’ v e p e r fo r m e d a n d w h y?
Usually as an artist, it’s always the last project you’ve done is your favourite, but there was a cover of “Shake it off” by Taylor Swift that we did in the Bahamas that I really love watching. I don’t know if it was my favourite one to make but going through the list with my kids and that one pops up, I think that it’s really fun and colourful, so that’s one of my favourite ones to watch for sure. a:
a:
q : T h i n gs h av e co m e a lo n g way s i n c e yo u fo r m e d i n t h e e a r ly 2 0 0 0 ’ s . T h r o u g h o u t i t a l l , w h at wo u l d yo u say i s t h e g lu e t h at h as h e l p e d WOT E co n t i n u e to n ot o n ly b e c r e at i v e b u t stay to g e t h e r?
I would have to definitely say it’s the fans. Obviously like any band we have turmoil, it’s similar to a relationship. We’ll get on each other’s nerves and we’ll want to have fights, but we have to think at the end of the day, there’s all these people that love our music and we’re bigger than the fight that we’re having. We have to put that aside and just do this thing that we wanted to do our whole lives. We won’t break up the band over some stupid fight. We just keep working to make cooler stuff and create interesting art. •

Mural Unveiling By R o n c e sva l l e s V i l l ag e B I A
For the last four months, during a record heat wave followed by a week of rain, we have watched the creation of a new mural on a large 24-foot by 106-foot wall at the corner of Garden and Roncesvalles Avenue. Locals, visitors and users of the bordering Bike Share Station have seen the brightly coloured elements and symbols emerging amidst scaffolds and tents, accompanied by buskers and a growing contingent of sparrows and fellow urban creatures. Local mural artist Jim Thierry Bravo has completed his portion. Lead artist Philip Cote and

his assistant Nelly Torossian worked hard to complete the remaining third of the mural, encouraged by the positive response of enthusiastic onlookers. On October 20th, the community gathered at 149 Roncesvalles Avenue to celebrate the official unveiling of the mural. The design concept of the mural reflects the thematic framework set out by our BIA’s Street Advisory Committee. These themes include: Nature in the City, the Urban Community, and the interconnected concepts of Legacy, Sustainability and Stewardship.

The Art of RESTAURANT CURATION By A n n I v y M a l e
Aside from great food, fine wines and exceptional service; the ambiance in a restaurant is a must. I am the owner of Pixie Blue Studio, a creative studio in Port Credit. When I was contacted by Noble Bistro to curate the artwork for both Lorne Park and Oakville, I welcomed the opportunity. I appreciate the fact that Noble wants to create a gallery-like setting that changes with the seasons and reflects their farm to fork cuisine. I always feature local artists and I choose works of art that compliment each restaurant’s decor. Noble Bistro prepares a beautiful presentation menu with the artist bios and servers bring this to the table when a diner inquires about the artwork for sale. This unique experience is a perfect way to combine the love of creative dining and art when visiting Noble Bistro. Pixie Blue Studio is located at 175 Lakeshore Rd. East, Mississauga. Please visit www.pixiebluestudio.com or call 905-990-7494 for more information. Noble Bistro has 2 locations. Oakville is located at 218 Lakeshore Rd E and Mississauga is located at 1107 Lorne Park Rd. Visit www.noblebistro.com to book your experience with Chef Jonny O’Callaghan.

The falling rain did not dampen the excitement of Burlington hockey fans as they welcomed Ron Maclean, Tara Slone and former Toronto Maple Leafs to Civic Square on October 27th & 28th for the Rogers Hometown Hockey weekend; a familyoriented celebration of our national sport with lots of activities aimed at entertaining youth.
Brant street was a hub of activity all through the weekend. Minor hockey teams faced off against each other in the ball hockey rink. There were live musical performances by the Red Decade, Big Lonely and Walk Off The Earth. Eager fans patiently waited for autographs from former NHL players Darcy Tucker and Steve Thomas.
The weekend kicked off with “Pink in the Rink,� a Junior League game at Appleby Ice Centre between the Burlington Cougars and the Brampton Admirals with special guest Hometown Hockey Co-Host Tara Slone for the puck drop. Fans wore pink in support of breast cancer awareness.
Finally, the Ottawa Senators versus the Vegas Golden Knights was shown on a huge screen at City Hall with Ron MacLean and Tara Slone broadcasting live segments before the game and during intermission. No one really noticed the rain soaking their hockey jerseys, as the Burlington audience smiled and waved at the TV cameras.

Remembering GORD DOWNIE By L e s l i e St y l e s
It was a sad day on October 17th, as Burlington joined the rest of the country in remembering the first anniversary of Gord Downie’s passing. Pubs and performing arts venues nationwide had booked pseudo-Hip bands for the evening.
After producing 13 studio albums, Downie taught us a lot about history. From the most iconic moments of Canadian Hockey to the lowest moments of the justice system, The Tragically Hip incorporated the history of the country into their songs.
A year ago, the entire country was thrown into mourning as news broke that Gord had quietly passed away, with his beloved family by his side. The Tragically Hip, five friends from Kingston playing together since the 1980s, were forever silenced as a band. Brain cancer had taken away the precious poet and rock star.
The tribute band “Artificially Hip,” from Cambridge Ontario, brought the past to life for the evening, playing the music of Downie and The Tragically Hip. The tribute band's repertoire revealed the history that Gordon Downie, Rob Baker, Paul Langlois, Gord Sinclair, Johnny Fay and Davis Manning had taught us.
Now, a year after his death, many Burlington fans who were looking for a place to mourn, gathered at Joe Dog’s Gasbar Grill. At 8pm, happy hour was announced, and the crowd sang the lyrics "two fifty for a highball and a buck and a half for a beer," from the well-known song, Little Bones. 44

While feeling a great loss as everyone gathered on the anniversary of Gord's death, there was also an appreciation to have experienced his music that enriched so many lives. Canada will always cherish Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip.

The Cheltenham Badlands was recently reopened with a new boardwalk to view the unique and scenic Badlands terrain and is part of The Great Trail, The Caledon Trailway and Greenbelt Route. This unique landscape was exposed by poor farming practices in the 1930’s that led to soil erosion and exposed the underlying Queenston Shale. The exposed red shale is one of the most recognizable and visited natural heritage landmarks in Southern Ontario.

Always learning and striving to Capture the next great photo!
If you have an opportunity to prepare, Be Ready to think about: Should the camera be held horizontally (landscape) or vertically (portrait)?
1)
Will there be enough lighting, or will flash be needed?
2)
3)
Where can I safely stand to get the best picture?
Out-of-focus photos are often avoidable with Be Steady techniques: 1)
Hold the camera with both hands.
Hold the camera as close to your body as possible, typically with your elbows against your chest.
2)
3) Press down smoothly and do not jab at the shutter release button.
Consider using a tree, a pole or a wall to further steady yourself and the camera.
4)

Action photos will often be out-of-focus unless you adjust your camera for a faster shutter speed. Your camera may have a “sports” setting that can be used to greatly increase your chance of capturing sharp action photos. If the camera allows for this adjustment, a speed of 1/500 second should be used as a minimum.
5)
Action adjustments aren’t just for professional athletes. Even children playing, running or dancing will likely be in better focus.
6)
A faster shutter speed will also help those with shaky hands.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids Over the last few years, the technology of hearing aids has greatly improved their functionality, allowing us to improve an individual’s hearing ability more than ever before. Hearing aids are wireless, can be paired to smart phones via Bluetooth, and allow for endless amounts of personalization. One element that was slow to advance, but vital for a hearing aid, is the battery. Rechargeable hearing aids are the newest advancement in hearing aid technology. Rechargeable hearing aids have added convenience to users because there is no longer the need to fiddle with changing batteries, and users no longer have the worry of needing to change their batteries at inopportune times or going out to buy new batteries. Rechargeable hearing aids are also environmentally friendly, helping eliminate many zinc air batteries from the landfill. With this advancement, hearing aids have remained small and discreet, but powerful enough to provide more than a full-day of battery life on a single charge, even when using streaming capabilities.
Rechargeable hearing aids are beneficial for all users, but especially those with dexterity and vision loss, as they automatically turn off and on when inserted and removed from the charging case. Rechargeable hearing aids are convenient, easy to use and environmentally friendly. Don’t let what you’ve heard about hearing aid batteries stop you from taking the next step to better hearing.

Make Your Golf Practice Count PLAN YOUR GOLF PRACTICE The first step in improving your golf is learning more about your golf swing. A golfer does not need to sign up for 20 lessons to improve, however getting some basic fundamentals from your local golf professional will make understanding the swing much easier. Getting some information related to a part of your game you are struggling with and focus on the cause and effect. Try to understand not only what you need to do to improve, but the causes of your problem. There are likely to be multiple possible causes and solutions.
practice shot. Too many thoughts will result in paralysis of analysis. After each shot, reflect on not only the result, but how the swing felt. What did you do wrong? What did you do right?
HIT THE DRIVING RANGE? NOT YET Instead of running to hit that next large bucket, take those golf tips you learned and apply them in front of a full-length mirror or find an indoor golf centre that uses camera system. This is especially effective if you are working on your stance or setup. You can easily compare your body position with those of the pros through comparisons. Take your backswing in slow motion, stopping at various points to again compare your position with what you have learned. This exercise will help you picture and feel a good golf swing.
PRACTICE WITH A FRIEND You can triple the effectiveness of your golf practice if you bring a friend with you. Rent an indoor simulator for an hour and share the cost. Take turns hitting a few shots each. Tell your friend what you are working on and ask him to describe how it looks. Watch one another from the side and behind to get different angles. Ask your partner to focus on different elements of the swing: the grip, setup, plane, top of back swing, lower body position, shoulder turn, etc.
SMALL BUCKET PLEASE When you finally get to the practice facility, be it indoors or outdoors, your mind is no doubt full of energy and excitement as you prepare to apply your new thoughts. That is good. However, remember that it is quality golf practice, not quantity, which counts. Get the small bucket and take your time. Rest between shots. Resolve in your mind to think about what you are working on before each shot. Apply one swing thought before each
IMPROVEMENT TAKES TIME Remember to keep focused on improving your weaknesses. It makes little sense to spend 75% of your golf practice time working on your strong points. Don’t get impatient. Realize that improvement takes time! Nobody goes from a twenty-handicap down to a single-digit overnight. However, if you apply these tips, you’ll be building your knowledge of the game as you practice. This can only help improve your game in the long run.

La Guardiense
Janare Senete
Q: On a quest to discover new wines, I picked up a bottle of this Italian white recommended to me for something a little different. I have never heard of the wine or even the grape before but absolutely loved it! Now I’m thirsty to learn a little more. The wine is La Guardiense Janare Senete and is made with the grape Falanghina. - allison
Hi Allison, So many wine drinkers tend to stay with a few tried and true wines so we say kudos to you for your spirit of adventure. How fortunate that you made this particular discovery, which we too first enjoyed just last month. The name of the company La Guardiense, is one of Italy’s largest and most important cooperatives. It was founded over fifty years ago by a group of 33 courageous farmers who decided to control their own fate and both produce and sell their wine made from their grapes. Fast-forward 60 years later, it is now made up of over 1,000 winegrowers, cultivating their grapes over 1,500 hectares of vineyards, planted in the province of Benevento, Campania. Although the cooperative has been led by only three different presidents since its founding in 1960, it has successfully adapted to market changes and technological advances in the industry. So much so, Guardiense has become a symbol of the technological progress for the entire province, combining experience and modern methodology. Domizio Pigna, the current President is a true visionary and can be credited with many positive changes within the company, including the cooperative’s

dedicated move to high quality grape growing, as well as the adoption of sustainable and organic methodology. The two varieties primarily grown are the indigenous Falanghina and Aglianico, of which the name Guardiense has become synonymous within this region. Falanghina is an ancient Italian varietal, which the region of Campania monopolizes with approximately 90% of the grape grown in the region. Typically, Falanghina wines will have good acidity, have a blend of fruit aromas/flavours of peach, apricot, yellow apple, hints of lemon and possibly nuances of floral notes or leafy greens. The Janare Senete you so enjoyed is made with 100% Falanghina, the grapes sourced from the region of Sannio in Benevento. We enjoyed this crisp and dry white wine, with delightful aromas of peach and apricot, with an additional layer of complexity. Great as a sipping wine, it could easily transition to an appropriate partner for a meal.
