Gazette News — For awhile there last week, Fron-tenac Islands was the centre of the Ontario media universe when a video surfaced on the internet showing a couple of young anglers encounter-ing what looked to be a bull shark off Wolfe Island.

Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle was at County Council the morning the story broke and spent much of the meeting responding to email media interview re-quests.

“I used to think all the sharks were on Bay Street where I used to work,” Doyle joked while typing an email re-sponse to Radio 1010 in Toron-to. “I feel a bit like the mayor of Amity Island in Jaws.”

Doyle was skeptical but willing to entertain the pos-sibility the sighting was real.

“It’s possible someone caught it and released it in Lake Ontario,” he said. “It’s too big to have been caught in a boat’s intake but if somebody put this together (for a hoax video), they seem

to have done a good job.” While some mayors may

have relished the thought of the economic capacity some-thing like this may have gen-erated, Doyle wasn’t so sure notoriety of this sort would be a good thing.

“Our ferry is over-ca-pacity as it is,” Doyle said. “And this sort of thing would only attract gawkers, not real tourists.”

Doyle’s compatriot at County Council, Coun. Da-vid Jones, was character-istically skeptical from the onset.

“I’m not taking the bait,” Jones said. “I think some-body is pulling our legs.

“For one thing, how did it get through all the locks?

“Although, if it did turn out to be real, we could call it Lockjaws.”

In recent years, there have been documentaries on bull sharks wherein sightings of them in fresh water (most notably miles up the Missis-sippi and Amazon Rivers) have been reported, adding plausibility to the video.

Wolfe Island ‘Jaws’ turns out to be a promotional video hoax

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, July 24, 2014 3

High-speed internet project essentially complete but still some additions plannedBy Craig BakayReporter

Gazette News — “We haven’t had much to report because things (with the broadband internet proj-ect) have been going so well,” Anne-Marie Young, Frontenac County manager of economic de-velopment told County Council at its regular meeting in Roberts-ville last week. “All of the original Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) build has been done.

“There are still a few additional builds to be done.”

The EORN project began with an unveiling in the summer of 2009. At the time, the Eastern On-tario Wardens Caucus was a driving force behind connecting the area through broadband internet, which then was available only in more ur-ban areas.

“Our (Frontenac County’s) ini-tial investment was to $535,580,” Young said. “But we went to the City of Kingston and made the case to them and they invested half.”

Through a series of fibre-op-tics and builds, the network today boasts that 78 per cent of the house-holds in Frontenac County have ac-cess via DSL or wireless systems, the latest being the addition of the Lanark zone, which encompasses

part of Frontenac County, in March of this year.

“That 78 per cent is either through EORN or local providers like North Frontenac Telephone,” she said. “But satellite is available almost everywhere, boosting the number to 99 per cent.

“And we’ve just learned that Bell plans to launch another satel-lite within the next two years.”

Young said that through her eco-nomic development portfolio, she’s learned that many of the small busi-nesses in Frontenac County have their own website.

“Five years ago, that wasn’t the case,” she said. “Five years ago broadband internet was just a luxury that wasn’t available in most areas.”

In particular, she said, the avail-ability of high-speed internet has had a big impact on the tourist in-dustry, arguably this area’s largest single business.

“Tourism operators can not only tell everybody what they have avail-able but can take bookings online,” she said. “This has led to business they wouldn’t have had otherwise.

“We should celebrate this and recognize what it has done for Frontenac County.”

Coun. Janet Gutowski, one of the original proponents of the sys-

tem, was onboard with celebrating the system.

“In my day-to-day life, the people I meet think we’re going to turn the predictions of a declining population around specifically because of the internet,” Gutowski said. “Because

they can work from their homes, we’re attracting people to our more laid-back lifestyle and another good thing is that these people don’t nec-essarily want to be on the waterfront, which diversifies development.

“We should continue to build on

this.” Ironically, Gutowski had just

posted on her Facebook account that her internet connection was down at her home near Godfrey.

“I know, I know,” she said when reminded of this.

County Council prepares for potential ‘lame duck’ status after Nomination DayBy Craig BakayReporter

Gazette News — Frontenac County Coun-cil could very well be in a ‘lame duck’ situ-ation when nominations close for the Octo-ber election on Sept. 12, Council heard at its regular meeting last week in Robertsville.

In a report to Council, Clerk Jannette Amini said that if three or more Council members choose not to run for re-election (i.e., meaning the new Council will contain less than three-quarters of the current Council), then Council will come under ‘lame duck’ restrictions out-lined in the Municipal Act as of Sept. 12. Fur-ther, if three or more members of the current Council are not re-elected (or acclaimed), they shall be in a ‘lame duck’ situation from Election Day (Oct. 26) until the new Council is sworn in (the first meeting after Nov. 30).

To date, Central Frontenac Mayor Janet Gutowski, North Frontenac Mayor Bud Clay-ton and South Frontenac Coun. John McDou-gall, have filed their papers to run for re-elec-tion. South Frontenac Mayor Gary Davison has said he will not seek a third term.

Under the ‘lame duck’ scenario, a council cannot:

appoint or remove and officer of the mu-a. nicipalityhire or dismiss any employee of the mu-b. nicipalitydispose of any real or personal property of c. the municipality which has a value exceed-ing $50,000 at the time of disposalmake any expenditures or incur any other d.

liability which exceeds $50,000 “There are ‘emergency’ situations that

could be applied to this,” Amini said. “For example, if the roof was leaking at Fairmount Home and the cost to fix it was $60,000, that could be deemed an emergency.”

Coun. John Purdon wondered about the four Council members that are ‘appointed’ by their respective township Councils.

“I might run but might not necessarily be appointed back to County Council,” he said.

“The Act was amended from saying ‘may not,’” Amini said. “Now, if there is the po-tential for the councilors to return, it keeps us out of lame duck.”

• • • County Council passed a measure that will

allow it to appoint an interim administrator and/or director of care for Fairmount Home in the event it becomes a lame duck council after Nomination Day.

Director of Care Mary Lake has an-nounced her intention to retire soon. Fair-mount administrator Julie Shillington is on medical leave.

In the case of Shillington, without going into details, CAO Kelly Pender said “it could be some time” before Shillington can return.

• • • Council also passed a measure that will

allow the County to apply for federal funding to be applied to the K & P Trail.

“We don’t want to be like a third-world country where we develop something and then forget about it,” said Warden Bud Clay-ton.

But in the end, the whole thing turned out to be a publicity stunt by Bell Media for their upcoming Shark Week series on The Discovery Chan-nel.

Still, it did provide some excite-ment on the islands for a day at least.

“There were some occasional ‘in-terruptions,’” said CAO-Clerk-Trea-surer Darlene Plumley regarding me-dia interview requests. “One reporter from CTV came out [to] Wolfe Island Bakery for a chocolate bun.”

Plumley said she didn’t buy con-cept from the get-go.

“I figured right from the start it had to be something like this (a promotional hoax,” she said. “Jaws is my favourite movie but it’s not happening here.”

For his part, Doyle said there are no hard feelings for the ‘prank.’

“We may get some people visiting now who wouldn’t have otherwise,” he said. “And I’d really like to invite the Discovery Channel people here to do a real story, perhaps on Big Sandy Bay, the real fishing or scuba diving all of the shipwrecks in the area.”

Wolfe Island ‘Jaws’ turns out to be a promotional video hoax

County guests, 9 Mile Point Lighthouse highlight Wolfe Island meeting By Margaret KnottCorrespondant

Gazette News- Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle welcomed the visit of Frontenac County Warden Bud Clay-ton to Wolfe Island, where he formally introduced new Frontenac County CAO Kelly Pender to council. Mr. Pender acknowledged the warm welcome he has received since assuming the posi-tion. “I look forward to working with you all,” he said.

Deputy Mayor Jones posed two ques-tions to him concerning county issues (prominent in the news) related to high taxation, excessive reserve funds with-out capital plans or investment strate-gies, and absenteeism within Frontenac Paramedic Service and Fairmont Home. Jones asked, “what assurances, goals and plan can you offer constituents that these issues will be corrected under your administration,”

In response CAO Pender said, “The first steps have been long term finan-cial planning. In September we will be looking at our asset management plan currently underfunded by $850,000. Part of that discussion is going to be how much county council is going to borrow going forward and establish-ing parameters around that. With more debt tolerance, the lower your reserves need to be, Having said that, you still need reserves for operating purposes but those decisions county council will make this fall, and as we finalize our long range, debt tolerance, and cash

flow balancing, and in that comes lease-buy decision financial planning. As we deal with changes like the prov-ince downloading more to us, we will build a model that allows you to see the effects of tax rate changes. Our au-ditor has recommended that we com-plete our long range strategic plan as soon as possible.”

“Regarding absenteeism, since May there has been reporting monthly. What’s reported gets managed. What gets measured, gets managed. While not as much as I , or council, would like to see, we have begun to see a downward trend. That is not to say that legitimate illness is part of the equa-tion .We have made it very clear to management and union that we expect absenteeism will be within ranges that are reasonable within the health indus-try,” Pender said. “Obviously working in a long term care home there will be a higher absenteeism rate than in an of-fice where one is not in touch with the flu virus for instance.”

The Simcoe Island Lighthouse: Dave Scott, representing the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society, (NMPLPS) was present to ask again that the township acquire the lighthouse in partnership with the NMPLPS who would raise funds to preserve and maintain the site. “DFO is waiting for council’s response, one way or another, to take ownership. The Society has petitioned for a historic designation for the lighthouse, has in-corporated as a not for profit organi-

zation to raise funds, and will apply for charitable status”. They submitted a business case before the June 13, 2013 date, with the Township listed as the Acquiring Organization, hoping it would be forthcoming.

Scott called upon council to support a resolution confirming its willingness to acquire the Simcoe Island Light-house property from Fisheries and Oceans Canada if satisfactory terms of transfer can be negotiated.

“We need your commitment to move forward,” he said. “And time is of the essence.”

A discussion followed among coun-cil members, NMPLPS and members of the public who value the lighthouse, and its preservation. Council received the NMPLPS presentation as informa-tion, but was not prepared at this time to indicate their willingness to acquire the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse until certain legal contractual and liability obligations plus environmental is-sues are answered to their satisfaction. There was obvious frustration and some anger among lighthouse support-ers with this delay.

A second presentation regarding the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse was made by Mary Miskell, a Simcoe Island sum-mer resident since the late 1970s. She and her husband purchased the land surrounding the lighthouse from the Crown in 1991. They have a positive relationship with the Coast Guard in maintaining the property and keeping them aware of any

difficulties with the structure itself The Miskell’s submitted a Business Plan to DFO in December 2012 and were ad-vised DFO would work with them to develop a more comprehensive plan if there proposal was accepted as more viable. DFO requires proof of funds that show ability to sustain their plan to maintain the lighthouse and prop-erty, provide access to the Canadian coast guard, respect the tranquility of Simcoe Island and accommodate pub-lic access to the lighthouse. Miskell’s concerns relate to the ferry and polic-ing. Council received the presentation as information.

Frontenac Islands CAO Darlene Plumley will ask the Federal Government for the availability of a sample (existing) contract for taking over historic sites be-fore seeking legal advice, if required. The CAO will also seek an environmen-tal engineer’s opinion regarding a past report about the site and possible risks going forward. In conversation with Mayor Doyle about the Lighthouse, he noted the fiduciary responsibility coun-

cil has to understand the issues before proceeding in taking on something that could burden taxpayers and property owners. “It would be irresponsible for us as a Council to make a decision without knowing, and fully understanding what we are getting into.” A case in point the Tourist Centre used to be run by WIBTA (not for profit) group in partnership with the Township. With WIBTA shut down, the Township assumed full responsibility for its costs of operation.

The fact that Tom Greenlaw was able

to strap on snowshoes and begin clearing fallen branches on this three-acre property from an ice storm this past winter may not seem too surprising. After all, the sixty-something retired Armed Forces man has done his best to remain

But Tom’s loved ones knew that the arthritis that had set into his right knee was worsening to the point that any movement came with excruciating pain last spring. He decided it was

his physician about getting the joint replaced. Tom was surprised to learn about the short-stay program at Hotel Dieu Hospital where individuals who are in good health can get their hip or knee replaced and be discharged home within 48 hours.

On October 15th, Tom was given an epidural instead of full anesthetic and had the worn joint

replaced. Later that day, staff at Hotel Dieu were helping him walk on the new knee.

“It was fabulous. Honest to goodness, right from

encountered to the last person who saw me out to the car,” Tom says of the experience. “[They were] just very kind, considerate, professional people. I’ve never really had a hospital experience to that degree where everybody was right up on their game.”

Those accolades are echoed by many others who receive care at Hotel Dieu, where there is a focused mission on providing the best quality care as the region’s specialized ambulatory (or outpatient) centre. In the last two years, in fact, the day surgery program has earned top performance ratings in provincial hospital surveys that looked at patient response to overall level of care, satisfaction with overnight stays and

willingness to recommend the program to family and friends.

“Listening to our patients and families is vital to helping us better understand their experiences and expectations, and to ensuring we create a superior care environment for them,” says hospital

David Pichora.That level of care is

evident, Tom says. “The administrative people, the porters, everybody – they all believed and understood how important their role was in the overall scheme of things. You can tell they enjoy what they are doing.”

As a result of the care received at Hotel Dieu, Tom is enjoying quality time with his wife and family, looking forward to summer play time and swims in the pool with his grandchildren.

Remembrance through song: Alzheimer Society of KFL&A launches new music program for clientsBy Hollie [email protected]

Heritage News - Most of us can name several songs that trigger strong memories and make us connect to our past in a very emotional way; this is also true for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

“You’d be surprised at the clients that can recite songs word for word but they can’t remember what they just ate for lunch,” says Katie Doran, education and support coordinator at the Alzheimer So-ciety of KFL&A.

That’s why the Alzheimer Society is currently launching a new music-based program called Music for Memories, in the hopes of bringing some comfort to clients and their caregivers. The program, through which families can create personalized iP-ods for their loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, was made possible thanks to a grant the organization received from the Community Foundation of Kingston and Area in the spring.

“Music often triggers an emotional reac-tion from people and that’s why this pro-gram is effective,” explains Doran. “You’re reaching memories that also have an emo-tional significance to people, so if we put a song on there such as maybe a wedding song that they’ve listened to often, that song might trigger a memory for them because they have an emotional tie to it.”

As such, the music helps clients to man-age the symptoms of their disease.

“It’s been shown to improve mood and reduce anxiety and agitation in people with Alzheimer’s and related dementias,” Doran says.

She explains that hope is also for Music for Memories to reduce stress for caregiv-ers by equipping them with another tool at their disposal.

“It gives respite to the caregiver so they can give it to their loved one and then they can maybe have 30 minutes to get some daily chores done, things like that.”

The Community Foundation grant

funded a six month pilot for Music for Memories, but the Alzheimer Society hopes to expand the program and continue it on after that time period. They are look-ing for volunteers to help create playlists and manage the music library, as well as donations of iTunes cards, previously enjoyed equipment, or anything else that might be useful.

“It’s quite costly to start up a program like this when you have to purchase all of the music and everything,” says KFL&A Alzheimer Society executive director Vicki Poffley, noting that they would also eventually like to be able to reach more people. “Right now we only have enough [resources] for 10 participants and in our catchment area we have approximately 3,400 individuals living with a diagnosis.”

Doran says that reaching more people through Music for Memories will also have indirect benefits for clients and potential clients.

“We’re hoping we’ll be able to reach people that might not be using our services right now. This might be something that re-ally appeals to them. If we can reach those people and get them in here for something like this, we can offer them further educa-tion and support as they go through their journey with the disease.”

She adds that a major goal of the Al-zheimer Society is to reduce the stigma that is associated with the disease, and that Music for Memories should help with this, too.

“That might be a reason why some people are hesitant to reach out for sup-port and other services, so we’re hoping that by having this out in the community people know about what we’re doing here we can reduce stigma and get peo-ple talking about Alzheimer’s and other related dementias. It’s becoming a com-mon thing that we’re going to see more and more of with the aging population.”

Gazette News — The monthly ab-senteeism report for Frontenac Coun-ty employees led to a heated exchange between a councilor and the chief of Paramedic Services at the regular Frontenac County Council meeting last week held at the new Robertsville Ambulance Station.

For the past few months, in response to a request from Council, County staff have presented an absentee report, along with mitigating measures aimed at cutting down the hours lost and the cost of employee absenteeism.

In particular, the subject has been

something of a pet peeve for Coun. David Jones who once again took is-sue with the hours lost, particularly when it comes to paramedic services, which the County administers for the entire region, which includes the City of Kingston.

“Here I go again, union bashing,” said Jones. “Is there something in the water the union members are drink-ing?

“Folks, if this was your personal business, you would not stand for it.”

Jones was especially concerned that the report separated operational costs of paid sick leave, which has been $269,340 through June of this year, and the cost of replacement

workers, which was $40,879 in May and $47,959 in June.

“This is upsetting,” Jones said. “We have lost productivity and re-placement costs.

“What are (the Paramedics Chief Paul Charbonneau’s plans to address this.”

The normally composed Charbon-neau lost his composure briefly.

“There were 10 suicides of para-medics in Ontario in the past year,” he said. “We’re not going to address it (lost time) like you would in private industry where people sit at a desk on their ass.

“They’re not dealing with the s**t we deal with.”

In 2012, Emergency & Transporta-tion services lost 19,652.53 hours to absenteeism. In 2013, the number was 21,913.19 hours. To date in 2014, the number has been 9,043.22 hours.

Several councilors came to Char-bonneau’s defence.

“These are frontline employees who face increasing demands,” said Coun. Janet Gutowski.

“It’s going to take a long time to address this,” said Warden Bud Clay-ton.

After the meeting, Charbonneau said the national paramedics organi-zation, of which he is president, has been dealing with similar issues and has yet to hit upon a definitive strat-

egy. “The stress of dealing with the

situations we deal with is obvious,” he said. “Attending accidents is inher-ently stressful.

“But it’s not just stress that causes absenteeism. There are increasing in-juries involved, especially in the cases of bariatric (obese) patients, even to the point where we are considering asking for special bariatric lifts to be standard equipment.”

100th anniversary of First World War beginning comes on July 28

Gazette Column — Next Monday (July 28), will be the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War.

A lot of people think it began June 28, 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated in Sarajevo by Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip.

While there is little argument that this event was the match that lit the fuse on the bomb, it wasn’t until July 28 when war was declared and shots were fired. It was a different time then and the declaration of war was a very real concept that seems to have lost its luster in the 21st Century.

But arguably, the most fascinating thing concerning the Great War (as it was called afterwards until the Second World War happened) is how it came about in the first place.

A hundred years before, Prussia, Russia and Austria had allied themselves into something called the Holy Alliance. This lasted until 1873, when they renegotiated

their agreement into something called the League of the Three Emperors. By this time, Austria had become Austria-Hungary.

This lasted until 1879, when Austria-Hungary got into an argument with Russia over the Balkans (essentially Bulgaria, Albania, Greece and all the countries of the former Yugoslavia). This disagreement led to Russia leaving the Alliance and eventually Italy joining. This was called the Triple Alliance and essentially had the mandate of countering Russian aspiration in the Balkans.

Of course the countries in the Balkans also had something to say about the other three countries wanting to run their shows.

At this point, it’s probably a good idea to point out that as silly as all these alliances might seem to us today, at that time, it was what countries did. They signed all sorts of agreements that essentially boiled down to ‘if so-and-so attacks you, we’ll come fight on your side.’

One of these was the Triple Entente, which loosely aligned Russia, France and Britain. (There are several ‘treaties’ involved but unless you’re working on a Master’s degree in early 20th Century European history, you don’t need to know.)

The first shots came from the Austrio-

Hungarians as they prepared to invade Serbia (July 28). This prompted Russia to ‘mobilize’ which then led to Germany ‘mobilizing.’ After Germany sent an ultimatum to Russia to ‘demobilize,’ Russia refused and Germany declared war on Russia Aug. 1.

Germany also asked France to remain neutral. When the French complied and moved their troops back, Germany attacked Luxemburg on Aug. 2 and then declared war on France Aug. 3. On Aug. 4, Belgium refused to allow German troops to cross their lands, leading Germany to declare war on Belgium. This triggered Britain to declare war on Germany and the game was on. Of course the minute Britain declared war, Canada was in it as well.

At this point, essentially every country in Europe except Spain, Sweden and Switzerland was involved in one way or another.

It wasn’t long before the war spread to colonies in the Pacific, Africa, the coasts of North and South America, the near East and far East.

It lasted four years, three months and caused more than 16 million deaths, including civilians.

In Our Opinion

Lifting the fog of warThe world received a sobering reminder last week that the festering conflict

in Eastern Ukraine is still very much an ongoing issue that should concern ev-erybody. A total of 298 innocent civilians of various nationalities perished when their flight path over the conflict zone encountered what was likely a surface to air missile. Ukraine military authorities are adamant that their air defences did not fire a single shot that day, which, if proven to be true, seems to preclude all but one possibility: that Russia-backed separatists using advanced anti-aircraft armaments either seized by separatist forces in the conflict, or provided by Putin’s regime brought down the airliner - perhaps confusing it with a Ukrainian military trans-port aircraft, one of which was brought down by missiles earlier in the week.

Earlier, pro-Russia rebels claimed responsibility for surface-to-air missile at-tacks on two Ukrainian SU-25 military aircraft, however these were likely brought down using a different weapons system. A missile launcher system similar in ap-pearance to the kind Ukraine officials believe was used in the attack was seen by Associated Press journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier that Thursday. Russia will undoubtedly deny supplying the separatists with the armaments in question, but if an international investigation determines that no Ukrainian air-to-surface missiles were fired on that day, whom are we to blame? For its part, pro-Russian separatists at the crash site are already said to be grimly supplying Moscow with the plane’s black box for investigation, while blaming Ukraine’s armed forces for the attack. Putin himself, was more glib on saying ‘that the tragedy is responsibility of the country whose airspace it happened in’ - as if his policies bore no responsibility for the crisis in Eastern Ukraine.

If it comes to light that Russian equipment was behind the ‘incident’, countries around the world should unite in the strongest condemnation of Putin’s aggression in Eastern Ukraine; for it would appear that in his zeal to bring the Ukraine and its military to its knees with advanced artillery, he has carelessly provoked one of the most tragic international incidents in years. It would be bad enough if the separatists seized these weapons, and Putin turned a blind eye. Knowingly provid-ing untrained separatist forces with this fearsome weaponry would almost be like pulling the trigger himself.

The world needs to be united in its demand for justice for the nearly 300 lives lost that on day. Justice demands that not just the separatists, but also their enablers, have their day at The Hague.

Dark, haunting themes in Kingston-made film William’s LullabyBy Hollie [email protected]

Gazette Review - Thomas Splinter has not had an easy life. As a youth, he witnessed a friend being shot at school by a classmate. Now, he is grieving the recent death of his beloved wife and struggling raise their five year old son, William. Thomas appears to have number of different forms of men-tal illness, like post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and paranoia; he has nightmares of William growing up and turning into a murderer, which he is convinced will come true. His cold-hearted mother has taught him to repress all of his negative feelings but at last, rather reluctantly, he decides to seek help by reaching out to a hypno-therapist, Peter.

This is the story of William’s Lul-laby, a film written and directed by Kingston native Nicholas Arnold. It was shot largely in an Amherstview suburb, as well as other locations that will be recognized by local audiences.

William’s Lullaby reminded me a lot of one of my favourite films of all time, The Shining, only with two very key differences. The first is that it’s set in a familiar place (i.e. not a giant, glamorous resort in the mountains of Colorado). Even audiences who aren’t familiar with the Kingston area will recognize a neighbourhood that looks very similar to their own or one they have visited many times. The second key difference has to do with the end-ing, which I won’t give away here.

This is a very eerie but beautifully done film that digs deep into the dark-

est corners of the human condition. In many scenes, the music alone is enough to send your stomach through a loop – there are ominous tones as Thomas walks alone down a long corridor at the school where he works as a custo-dian, and again when he serves dinner to his son and puts him to bed. Every-day events like William and Thomas walking home from school oscillate in and out of focus, reminding audiences that although this neighbourhood may resemble their own friendly suburb, there is nothing ordinary about this family’s situation. (At least we hope not.)

The fact that I found parts of Wil-liam’s Lullaby rather difficult to take is a testament to the film’s superb perfor-mances, particularly from Richard Roy Sutton as Thomas and Toby Bisson

as William. Thomas is very gruff and often outright mean to his son, who is just a sweet little boy, so eager to be loved. He never tells William he loves him or even so much as “goodnight” when he puts him to bed; he rips up a card William makes for him that says “I love you daddy” before he even looks at it.

The cold treatment Thomas receives from his own mother (played by Sandie Cond) is almost as heartbreaking. He calls her in tears on a regular basis, beg-ging for help or at the very least some sympathy and understanding. Each time, she tells him she doesn’t have time for such nonsense and that he needs to snap out of it and stop calling. The parallels between William and Thomas’ relation-ship and that between Thomas and his own mother are telling.

Yet there are glimpses of hope. At school, William’s teacher reads the class the story of The Ugly Duckling,

which brings him happiness because it enables him to envision a better future for himself. The family is also helped by a kind woman named Collette (Ila Lawton), who urges Thomas to seek help from a friendly hypnotherapist, Peter (Robert Lawton). At one point, Thomas looks up the current address of the boy who shot his friend. When he drives out to catch a glimpse of him, he finds what appears to be a happy, well-adjusted man playing with his daugh-ter. Is this future possible for Thomas, or will his illness consume him?

William’s Lullaby is a story about grief and mental illness and how they can render a person unable to recognize love in their life or feel it in their heart. There are some very upsetting scenes in this movie, and sensitive viewers should be forewarned. However, it is also extremely impactful and artfully crafted, sure to be appreciated by any-one who enjoys well done films.

A still from the film William’s Lullaby, with Richard Roy Sutton as Thom-as and Toby Bisson as William.

Mother and son collaborate on unique children’s book seriesBy Mandy [email protected]

Gazette Events – Most kids love sitting down with their grandparents and reading a story book, but not Gretchen Huntley’s granddaughter.

“When my granddaughter, De-sirae, was about three she never wanted to hear stories from books. She wanted what she called ‘kid never heard stories’,” explained Huntley. “We told her family sto-ries and eventually we ran out of material so I started creating my own stories out of frustration and she loved them.”

The stories are about Grogs, fic-tional yellow creatures that live in Grumple. Huntley created six dif-ferent stories about them, includ-ing one about her granddaughter and her grandson after he was born. Each story is written in rhyme and until recently, Huntley kept each story written on a piece of paper. Every time her grandchildren came to visit, Huntley would get them out and read them.

After a few years, Huntley creat-ed a seventh novel called ‘Momma Grog gets Sick’ which deals with cancer and how it affects families. The book was inspired by her son John who has been dealing with terminal Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for a number of years.

“We actually got that story print-ed and we give the book to cancer patients and their families,” ex-plained Huntley. “After we got that story printed John told me that he wished he had illustrated the book and we decided to do the other six

stories.”John worked on illustrating ‘The

Bigfooted Grog from Grumple’, which is the second story in the Grog series and focuses on bully-ing. While he is not a professional artist, John did some cartoon draw-ing in high school and hopes that kids enjoy his work, especially his own kids.

“It was really important for me to do something that I can leave behind for my kids,” added John. “Your kids are your legacy and down the road it is nice for them to have something tangible that con-nects to you and that they can show their children and grandchildren.”

John tried a number of methods when illustrating the story includ-ing pencil crayons, crayons, and pastels, but in the end he went with hand drawing the Grogs and then filling them in with colour on the computer. He liked the look it cre-ated and it makes it easier to con-tinue with the other books in the fu-ture. He also added little characters on each page for kids to look for.

“In this story there is a ground-grog which is the Grumple version of a groundhog on each page try-ing to steal jelly beans,” explained John. “It’s just fun for the kids to look for and something extra to add to the story.”

The process was a lot of fun for both Huntley and her son and they hope to continue working on the rest of the series and maybe pick up a professional publisher along the way. They are launching the book at a couple of signings in the area and Huntley hopes that people will

come out and see the book and en-joy the story.

“I love seeing it all come togeth-er,” added Huntley. “It is a wonder-ful story and it’s a lot of fun. We

want to make kids smile and just share our stories.”

Gretchen and John Huntley will be at Novel Idea Book Store for a signing of their book on Saturday,

July 26 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They will also be at All About Books In-ternet Café in Gananoque on Aug. 2 from 1 to 3 p.m. Books will be available for purchase for $8.

Reduced rates create a feline frenzy at Humane SocietyBy Mandy [email protected]

Gazette News – In case you didn’t know, it’s kitten season. Humane soci-eties receive a huge influx of stray cats and kittens in the summer months and this year was no exception.

“At this time of year female cats come into heat and lots of cats end up in our care,” explained Sarah Mae Albert, adoption coordinator for the Kingston Humane Society. “Between the end of June and the beginning of July we had 88 cats come into our care.”

In order to cope with this high in-flux of cats, the humane society held a flash adoption event. Community members were invited to come into the shelter or one of their satellite lo-cations from July 9 to 13 and adopt an adult cat for just $50, down from the usual $180. The fee included pet in-surance and a cat that has been spayed or neutered, chipped and had its first shots.

“We reached out to veterinarians in the community and told them about

all of our fantastic cats here and they helped us in terms of shots, chips and spaying and neutering and that is ul-timately what made this event pos-sible,” added Albert.

The event only applied to cats that were six months old or older as that was the majority of the cat population in the shelter at the time. Albert also pointed out that older cats can be a bit harder to place than kittens, but that didn’t seem to be an issue during the event.

“We had 37 cats adopted during out flash adoption event and we had 78 adoptions from July 1 to 13 which is absolutely incredible,” added Al-bert who also saw a number of return adoptees and people looking for other pets during the event. “The event brought more people into the humane society and some adopted kittens and even some dogs were adopted. The traffic generated by the event was re-ally helpful.”

While the shelter was almost empty following the flash adoption event, the Humane Society still needs help keep-

ing their cat population at a manage-able level throughout the summer. The shelter is almost full once again and new cats come in each day.

“The majority of the cats we get are stray cats and we accept cats from all of Frontenac County too so it is a huge jurisdiction that we take in from.”

Albert encourages people who may be on the fence about getting a cat to come in and take a look around and help find these furry friends a forever home.

“They are wonderful and amazing and they are great companions,” added Albert, who also pointed out that even if you aren’t looking for another cat you can still help the cause. “We en-courage people to donate to our spay and neuter fund. We are always look-ing for help in that area and we always need community support.”

ENCHANTÉ

Fresh air in the jazz sceneBy Mark BerginColumnist

Gazette Enchanté - Keep your eyes (and ears) on a couple of jazz singers who are making musical waves. Simona De Rosa and Madeleine Peyroux are unique and powerful musicians in the current world of jazz.

What is probably one of the stranger backstories in a jazz musician’s life comes from Simona De Rosa.

She’s always been a singer, but, like many, the De Rosa parents didn’t think music was a possible career choice.

“I was singing more and more, and in the meantime I was taking a degree in ge-ology,” says De Rosa. “The day after I got my degree I announced that I was saving to come to New York to sing.”

She wasn’t just studying geology; she worked in the field during her undergrad studies. In an odd juxtaposition, on her Fa-cebook page there’s a photo album called When I Was A Geologist. The urban, so-phisticated look is gone. De Rosa is in Indi-ana Jones environments and clothing.

At the moment, she’s working on a Master’s Degree in Jazz Performance at Queen’s College of City University of New York. You’re going to hear a lot from her in the future.

I first heard Simona De Rosa at The Garage jazz club in Greenwich Village. Si-mona was the lovely woman sitting at the bar beside me. Part way through the band’s set, the leader called her up to join them.

With no vocal warm up, she jumped right into some riffs, including scat, a dif-ficult vocal technique that involves sing-ing improv melodies and rhythms. Ella Fitzgerald was a master of scat. A highlight of De Rosa’s impromptu performance was Blackbird, which had everyone in the res-taurant putting forks, knives, spoons and wine glasses down to stare and listen, fol-lowed by thunderous applause. Basically, where did this woman come from? I had to shake my head to make sure I was awake.

A few months later, in the Algonquin Hotel’s lounge, an appropriate setting for this sophisticated yet down-to-earth singer, De Rosa explained how she got up from her bar stool and launched into high-caliber

jazz.“I never warm up,” she says. She be-

lieves that she has to be ready to go on stage and impress at any time. “Otherwise I may as well stay at home and sing in the shower.”

She can’t remember ever not singing.“I started singing along with cartoons,”

she says. She began voice lessons at the age of 15. A year later, she won a singing competition in Italy. She sang New York, New York, a harbinger for her career. From there it was pop bands and then big band jazz.

“I’ve always liked jazz music,” she says.

These days, she’s spending more and more time performing at important jazz gigs.

“A lot has happened since I moved here (New York),” she says. “A lot of other doors are opening as an Italian who also sings Neapolitan music.”

Two weeks after our interview she was heading back to Italy to perform at two ma-jor jazz festivals.

She says she wants to take what’s she’s learned in the New York jazz scene to Naples.

“There is a big focus on jazz in Italy,” she says. “It is more interesting for people to go to jazz festivals, especially traditional jazz. Here (in North America) you will find

more funk and fusion. In Italy, we are kind of old style. But in Italy, it still seems like you have to go somewhere else and be suc-cessful and then come back.”

Her longer term goal is to live and suc-ceed in New York. She has her eyes set on performing at Lincoln Center one day.

What the singer doesn’t mention is that when she first arrived in New York City for three months in 2011, she did not speak English. In January 2013, she moved to New York. She was featured in the June 2014 edition of Fra Noi, an Italian-American magazine. In the past year, she received two awards from the Association of Italian America Educators recognizing her “spirited leadership, dedication and her outstanding cultural contribution to the Italian community in America.”

Her advice to younger musicians is to

be well prepared, well educated and per-sistent.

“Train, train, train and study, study, study,” she says. “And knock on every door you can. Don’t be shy. That’s the beauty of New York. If you keep knocking, people will open the door for you, but then you have to prove what you can do. You have to be hungry for it. New York has so much to give and I have to bite everything of the big apple.”

Although she has musical mentors like Aretha Franklin, Liza Minnelli and Ella Fitzgerald, De Rosa says her parents are her real idols.

“My parents gave me an education,” she says.

“They pushed me all the time to be a better person. They helped open my mind and gave me a chance to travel. Also, my

mentor is street life. What you can learn on the street meeting people is the best.”

Not far from The Garage jazz bar, you’ll find The Blue Note. A few years back I wandered in for the evening to hear someone who had been described to me as the new jazz phenom, Madeleine Peyroux. Like Simona De Rosa, Peyroux owns an odd back-story, although hers is in music.

After hearing her at Blue Note, I felt like I’d just experienced a soothing emo-tional massage. Her music can be quite edgy, but the beautifully smoky vocals make the lyrical grit mysterious. Close your eyes and you might think she’s Bil-lie Holiday, even though I find Peyroux’s style uniquely her own.

Fresh air in the jazz sceneDriving with a friend recently, when Madeleine

Peyroux came on the sound system, my friend said, “I love Billy Holiday.” She looked at me in disbelief when I told her it was Madeleine Peyroux.

There’s a folksy sense to her music, but it remains steadfastly jazz oriented. Songs like La Vie en Rose, made famous by Edith Piaf, should usually be left to the original masters who recorded them. I’ve heard too many classics massacred. But Madeleine Peyroux makes it her own, while maintaining its original sensu-ousness. It helps that she speaks French.

Peyroux, American born and of French descent, spent her childhood in California and New York City, but when her parents divorced, she moved with her mother to Paris at the age of 13. In Paris, she discovered the Latin Quarter’s street musicians. By the age of 16, she was in a jazz and blues band touring Europe. She eventually moved back to New York and was signed by Atlantic Records. Her first album, Dreamland, was released in 1996. She was instantly called the 21st cen-tury Billie Holiday. In 1997, she appeared at the Mon-treal Jazz Festival. Then she disappeared, returning to the streets of Paris where she spent several years busk-ing and remaining low key, although she did perform

and record in support of other musicians.

She was signed by a new label, Round-er, and recorded with producer Larry Klein. Her 2004 al-bum Careless Love was a critical suc-cess and had massive sales. She was no longer an unknown artist. There’s a mul-ticultural appeal to her work; she’s just as comfortable sing-ing in French as Eng-lish. In 2007, she was awarded recognition as Best International Jazz Artist at the BBC Jazz Awards. Her fourth solo album, Bare Bones, released in 2009, featured all original tracks.

Peyroux is not your typical public-ity hungry monster. With no lifestyle scandals and no stints in rehab, she simply “disappears” or at least drops out of sight for lengthy periods. It’s hard to imagine the likes of some of today’s egomaniacs giving up the limelight, but that’s part of what creates the mystery of Madeleine Pey-roux. There’s so much of her musi-cal territory still to explore.

You can hear Madeleine Peyroux at Kingston’s Grand Theatre on Decem-ber 11. Let’s hope Simona De Rosa isn’t far behind her in touring Canada.

Meet your market vendor: Long Road Ecological FarmBy Mandy [email protected]

Gazette News – If you’ve been driv-ing down Hwy 38 towards Kingston recently, you may have seen Xiaob-ing Shen and Jonathan Davies. The pair recently moved to the area in hopes of starting their own organic farm and both have been working hard in their roadside plots.

“We work out there and then peo-ple see us and then recognize us when they come to the market,” explained Shen. “It’s so nice to have the recogni-tion and so nice to be at the market.”

This is the first year for Long Road Ecological Farm, which cur-rently specializes in Asian greens, kale, strawberries, sweet potatoes and their most popular product – dim sum.

“In the beginning with the farm we didn’t have that much to sell at the market so we decided to bring in something homemade and I made dim sum,” explained Shen. “It actually be-came pretty popular at the market and now the dim sum actually sells better than our vegetables. It has become a bit of a specialty and that’s great.”

Shen, who is originally from Chi-na, uses products grown on the farm for the dim sum, including eggs from their chickens, and will eventually use the livestock from the farm as well.

Shen and Davies made the switch to farming a few years ago after be-coming frustrated with their daily nine to five grind and both are en-joying the transition from computer screens to farming tasks.

“The best part for me is the switch from being at a desk all day to moving around all day. That is really impor-tant for me and I love being outside,” added Davies, who is originally from Alberta. “A lot of the tasks are kind of tedious, but when you actually see vegetables growing and the progress you have made it is really satisfying. The physical work is really tiring but really rewarding too and you know that you have put in a good day of work.”

Long Road Ecological Farm made its market debut this year too and business has been slowly building. Their main focus right now is gain-ing visibility and the market is per-fect for that.

“The market is going quite well for us,” said Shen. “The first few weeks were quite slow but now people are starting to get to know us and some people are even visiting us at the farm. We are open at the farm every day except for Wednesday. We don’t get a lot of traffic but every day we have one or two customers.”

The pair would like to expand their garden even further next year

and maybe create a pick your own strawberries section. They’d also like to expand to a Kingston mar-ket if possible, but for now they are just happy to be selling to their local community.

“We are really trying to sell as much of our product locally as we

can. We have new signs that we put up this week and it is all working to make more people aware of us,” said Davies who also added that the dim sum seems to help too. “I think peo-ple are definitely curious and many are attracted to it. It makes us unique and if that attracts customers then

we’ll keep making it.”Visit Long Road Ecological Farm

at The Frontenac Farmers Market on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m in Harrow-smith just off of Hwy 38 and Satur-days from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m in Verona at Prince Charles Public School or check out their Facebook page.

DAYTRIPPER

On the rocksBy Mark BerginColumnist

Gazette Daytripper - Southeastern Ontario is a treasure chest if you’re into rock, mineral and fossil collect-ing. Sedimentary rock surrounds us; the nearby mineral-rich Canadian Shield sits in the north and “diamond-filled” dolomite is found south of the border.

Around Kingston, you’ll find fos-sils and examples of calcite, ranging from white to beautiful peach and blue hues. There are several abandoned quartz crystal mines in the Thousand Islands region. Many were mined dur-ing the Second World War for crystal oscillator quartz used in radio com-munications.

North of Kingston you’ll discover Bancroft, a famed rock collectors haunt, often referred to as the mineral

capital of Canada. About 1600 miner-al types have been identified in the re-gion. The area is part of the Canadian Shield, estimated at 1.1 to 1.8 billion years old.

In the late 19th century, the Ban-croft area was a hub of mining activ-ity at many small deposits. Over time, the mines and quarries were unable to compete with larger producers around North America. Many of the old mines and open pits still have some rather spectacular small specimens that at-tract collectors and hobbyists.

The Princess Sodalite Mine in Ban-croft received its royal name legiti-mately. In 1901, the Princess of Wales visited the World’s Fair in Buffalo, New York. While there she received a gift of Bancroft sodalite. She was so impressed with the deep blue hue of the stone, that she requested enough sodalite to decorate Marlborough

House, her London residence. The hillsides at Bancroft were worked to obtain about 130 tonnes of the beauti-ful rock, which were shipped to Eng-land. The site became known as the Princess Sodalite Mine.

The site opened to collectors in 1961. In addition to sodalite from the site, a rock farm was created. The owners felt that collectors, and fami-lies with children, should be able to enjoy the Earth’s minerals without necessarily going on dangerous ad-ventures. A num-ber of samples and tailings from other mines are added regularly. Collectors of all ages can harvest affordable speci-mens like rose quartz.

Bancroft is home to Canada’s larg-est gem and mineral show, the Rock-hound Gemboree. The 51st annual event will be held July 31–August 3. The festival features workshops, field trips to mineral-collecting sites, and live entertainment. The workshops cover a range of topics from Herkimer diamonds to gem identification. There are many gems, minerals and fossils, as well as jewelry for sale. It’s a mas-sive event needing two venues (a free shuttle runs between them) and an

outdoor area. To the south of us near Utica, New

York sits the town of Herkimer, famed for diamond-like multi-faceted quartz crystals, known as Herkimer Dia-monds. Herkimer is a Nirvana for col-lectors. If you’re serious enough, it’s worth spending a few days there. The Herkimer Diamond Mine and the Ace of Diamonds Mine are close to each other, along Route 28.

A young girl proudly displays a Herkimer diamond she found at the Herkimer Diamond Mine.

On the rocksUnlike real diamonds, which

have to be cut, Herkimer diamonds come out of the ground with their perfect geometric diamond appear-ance. They are actually beautiful double-terminated (two points) quartz crystals that are formed in an unusual manner. The bedrock in which the crystal are found devel-oped about 500 million years ago in a shallow Cambrian Sea bordering the Adirondack Mountains. Water seeped through the pores of the dolomite, forming pockets, known as vugs, when part of the rock dis-solved.

The process by which the crystals formed is still being researched. The most up-to-date theory is that deep within the Earth, fluids containing gas, oil, salt and dissolved quartz moved along fractures and crevices and into the porous layers of vugs. The solutions further eroded the holes at the same time as deposit-ing the materials that contributed to the development of the doubly ter-minated crystals.

Some Herkimers have unique qualities. Crystals may contain an-thraxolite , which looks like bits of

black coal within the crystals. Enhydro crystals, which contain

a water bubble within, are rare and valuable. Even more rare is an en-hydro that contains anthraxolite floating in the water bubble. I’ve mined at Herkimer many times, and I’ve only once seen one of these. Still unusual, but more common are doubles (two diamonds attached), clusters (several attached to each other).

Some large domed pockets con-tain thousands of diamonds. The dome-like tops of the pockets are often lined with small, white do-lomite crystals or sometimes with black drusy quartz. The largest pocket I ever tapped contained 101 Herkimer diamonds. But getting at it took many hours (days) of back-breaking work with a heavy sledge-hammer and various chisels and wedges.

For a fee, anyone can go in and work in the pit. Serious diggers go in with sledgehammers and wedges and work the open pit walls. The most popular method involves us-ing small two- or three-pound rock hammers and bull point chisels to split open the chunks of rock that cover the mine floor. Some rocks

contain small vugs with one or a few crystals inside. Whatever you find, you keep. The site is open to all ages, but anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Children have fun looking for diamonds while sifting through muddy water in a special min-ing trough set up outside the main building.

Like most locations, remain safety conscious. You’ll need strong work gloves and protective goggles when working in the open pit area. As you pound rocks, small chips and sharp fragments fly off and could easily injure unprotected eyes. You should wear closed-toe shoes; if you’re going to do heavy prospecting along the mine walls, wear steel-toe safety boots.

There’s a KOA campground across the road from the Herkimer Diamond Mine.

In general, rock and mineral col-lecting anywhere is rewarding. You get serious exercise and have lots of fun. Be extremely cautious as you go deeper into unknown areas. Do not go into abandoned underground mines. I have had very few mishaps, but a simple error could become se-rious if you are far from help. The

biggest danger is one’s own stupid-ity. Always be aware of your sur-roundings. I once cut myself badly when I became preoccupied and fell over an old barbed wire fence lying low to the ground. Falls and sprains are probably the biggest danger, so watch where you’re going.

The Canadian Geological Sur-vey, now part of the Earth Sciences sector of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), publishes excellent hand-books called Rocks and Minerals for the Collector. You can find these in most libraries and many book-stores. Some of these are being up-dated and re-published. You’ll find them at the Government of Canada publications website, http://publi-cations.gc.ca.

Each book deals with a specific regions. For example, you can find one for Kingston and another for Bancroft and Parry Sound. The guides give exact directions to min-eral deposits, many close to Kings-ton, but they don’t indicate whether the deposits are on private property. Make sure to check out the area and get permission if you will be enter-ing someone’s land.

Rock and mineral collecting is a great experience for any age. It

doesn’t matter if you’re an indi-vidual in your 20s or 70s or a fam-ily with young children, everyone can enjoy outings in search of the Earth’s natural treasures.

You don’t have to travel outside Kingston to begin your exploration of the mineral and fossil world. The Miller Museum of Geology, which opened in 1931 at Queen’s University’s Miller Hall, features a first rate collection of the Earth’s rocks, minerals and fossils. It offers an overview of the geological his-tory of the Kingston area. There’s a special exhibit on the dinosaurs of Alberta.

The museum is located in Miller Hall, 36 Union Street. It’s open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and ad-mission is free. Educational tours for school groups are available for a fee.

Check out the museum’s website at http://geol.queensu.ca/museum/. For information about Herkimer Diamonds, visit the Herkimer Dia-mond Mine at herkimerdiamond.com and the Ace of Diamonds mine at herkimerdiamonds.com.

Artist brings a bit of Moosonee to KingstonBy Mandy [email protected]

Gazette News – Moosonee may be 1,200 kilometers north of Kingston, but for artist, musician and teacher Curry Gray, it’s a second home. Gray and his family technically live in Kingston, but he works as a teacher for 10 months a year in Moosonee, Ontario.

“I went to Moosonee because I didn’t want to supply for three or four years. Finding a teaching job in this area is tough and I wanted to work,” explained Gray, who started teaching at Northern Lights Secondary School in 2008. “The job was exactly what I wanted. I teach visual arts and music and that is exactly what I want to do. I couldn’t say no.”

Many people would hate being that far north but for Gray the north is perfect. He loves the seclusion and the beauty of the environment and he translates a lot of that love into art.

“What inspires me now is what I do and what I see and how I interpret that,” said Gray. “Some of my art is inspired by landscape and some of it is inspired by my students. Some of my pieces are dream images and some are inspired by Picasso and Greek my-thology. A lot of it is experimental.”

Gray studied animation at college and art at university. He discovered

early on that he didn’t want to work for Disney and he didn’t want to stand around and talk about his own art. He wanted to teach art and inspire others while still being able to produce art and music.

“For me there is a lot going on. One day I am doing art and the next three days I may be focusing on music and then my job fits in there too. It keeps me busy and I love it. All of it inspires me and I hope that comes through in my work.”

To showcase his work, Gray ap-proached the owner of Windmills last summer and showed him his portfo-lio. He asked if there was a possibility of showing his art at the restaurant in the future and luckily the answer was yes. Gray worked on pieces all winter and then drove them back to Kingston after school ended this summer. He hopes people will come check them out.

“I think the work is really good and really dynamic. There are a range of styles and you can see that I am in-fluenced by the Group of Seven and Picasso. I love colour and it can be used in so many ways. I love experi-menting with styles and colour and just having fun with it.”

Gray doesn’t know what the future holds but he already has another show lined up for the fall in London, On-

tario. He is excited to have the oppor-tunity to show his work and hopes that more opportunities come his way.

“I have sold a few pieces locally in Moosonee too and I tried to start an art

coop up there and I am still working on it. I want to create a new avenue for artists up there and really get the kids involved, too. Who knows what will happen after that.”

Gray’s work is on display at Wind-mills until Aug. 16 and is also avail-able for purchase. For more informa-tion on Curry Gray and his work go to www.currygray.com

Curry Gray’s paintings are currently being displayed at Windmills until Aug. 16. Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

Distractions and noises hot topics for drivers

Gazette Lifestyle - Another study on distracted driving is out and more promises on crack-downs have fol-lowed. The recent Ontario student survey completed by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health has revealed a whopping one-third of young drivers in Grades 10, 11, and 12 admitted to texting while driving at least once in the past year. When Grade 12 students are singled out, that figure goes up to almost half (48 per cent). Past collision data stud-ies reveal that texting or using a cell phone while driving is roughly equiv-alent to driving under the influence of alcohol in terms of increased risks. The Ontario Ministry of Transporta-tion is answering by reintroducing legislation that was stalled by the last election. These new rules would see increased fines plus demerit points for convicted distracted drivers. But why are we treating these drivers any differently than drunk drivers?

If you’re convicted of drunk driv-ing in this province, after a suitable license suspension, you are required, at your expense, to equip your vehicle with a device that requires random alcohol-free breath samples in order to keep the motor running. Why not a similar device for convicted dis-tracted drivers? The technology is available to create cell-phone signal dead-zones and by adapting such de-vices for use in cars we can remove the chance that a distracted-driving offender can make or take calls or texts while inside the vehicle. Why not go one step further and demand carmakers include this as standard equipment? I’d love to hear your opinions on this, check my contact info at the end of this column.

While on the topic of distractions, strange vehicle noises can drive both car owners and technicians around the bend. There’s nothing worse than an unusual whirr, clunk, rattle, or bang cropping up in an otherwise

smooth running and quiet vehicle. The first thing that’s required when taking your ride into the shop for a noise repair is to be on the same page as the service consultant when describing a noise. Thanks to the in-ternet, there is a wealth of different websites with audio clips of various car noises. Check out www.my-carmakesnoise.com for some great sound bites.

To help your service provider get to the bottom of your noise the first

time make sure you can tell them:1) What – the type of noise. Is it

a rattle, clunk, hum, whir, bang, or something else?

2) Where – can you identify which end or corner of the vehicle it’s coming from?

3) When – is it worse at a particu-lar speed or over certain bumps or when it’s cold or hot?

Theatre Kingston artistic director leaves his mark on Canada’s biggest stageBy Hollie [email protected]

Gazette News - If you visit the Strat-ford Festival this year to take in some plays, you just might be viewing the work of some of our own city’s top tal-ent.

This past spring, Theatre Kingston artistic director Brett Christopher moved his family to Stratford for three months to take on the role of assistant director for the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The opportunity was part of a prestigious program called the Michael Langham Workshop for Assistant Directors, which allows theatre professionals from across the country a chance to hone their skills in Canada’s premiere theatre company.

“Stratford is kind of like the citadel of theatre in this country,” Christopher says. “It’s the biggest company and there’s a lot of incredible internationally renowned talent both on stage and off.”

He applied because, as a trained actor, he was interested in developing his skills as a director and receiving some formal training in that area of the art – and the experience didn’t disappoint.

“The assistant director is a really weird, amorphous role,” he notes. “You could literally just sit and watch the di-rector. You could be a researcher. You could be their sounding board. A lot of the work that I did with [director Chris Abraham] was after hours. We would each have pages and pages of notes after

we watched the play and we’d pass notes back and forth and discuss them and he’d give them to the actors.”

He explains that the play isn’t your av-erage version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

“This play is done all the time and this is a very fresh take. It’s a play about for-bidden love and [Abraham] wanted it to be relevant now, to have a message. It’s set in someone’s backyard at the wed-ding of two men, and as a present their friends got together to put on a play. It really is about family and support for gay marriage.”

In keeping with this theme, the play features many female characters played by men and vice versa; Lysander and Hermia, the two central characters whose relationship is in trouble, are portrayed as a lesbian couple.

“Our production incorporates Bruno Mars and New Order and strobe lights and there are eight little kids in it that sing and dance and are fairies. It has a real reverence for love but maybe an ir-reverence for the text. The theme of the play is really the core of the message that we were trying to get across about love. Unconditional love, loving one another no matter who you are or what person you love.”

Unsurprisingly, the production has caused a bit of a stir in the theatre world, receiving everything from half a star out of five from the Toronto Star to four out of four from the Detroit Free Press;

mostly, however, the reviews have been very kind.

“Personally I applaud the director for making those choices - they’re very bold choices,” Christopher notes. “To me there is a point to it, and that is the big-gest stage in the country.”

Christopher says he learned a thing or two at Stratford that he can bring home to help strengthen the work of Theatre Kingston and the city’s theatre commu-nity in general.

“The big thing with Stratford is every-one is always working at their absolute top of their game. From my perspective there’s no slack at all…The level of detail, the level of care that they’ve taken - every-body including assistant props people and people that are sewing leaves onto trees - is awe-inspiring. [Now I can] come back and say that’s the kind of environment that we should be making plays in.”

While he admits that the $60 million budget Stratford has to work with also helps, the passion and the spirit behind all this hard work is easily translatable.

“We really, really cared about the story that we’re telling, and I think that’s something really valuable that I can bring back here and to keep in mind when I’m working on my own work or talking to younger artists about the choices that they make in terms of plays and acting roles and things like that. At the end of the day, you’ve really got to care about the story you’re telling – it’s too much work not to.” Theatre Kingston artistic director Brett Christopher

Distractions and noises hot topics for driversTry doing some of your own detec-

tive work (remember with shop rates at $100/hour or more it pays to help try to reduce some of the tech time involved). If you can’t pinpoint where the noise is coming from, try driving along next to a large wall at a mall or school parking lot. The wall will bounce the sounds back to you and might make it easier to pinpoint the source.

When dealing with a wheel noise, try

gently and safely swerving back and forth in your lane while driving down the road. If the noise changes drastically in volume when swerving to the left or right, you’re vehicle probably has a wheel bearing on the way out. Wheel noises caused by tire tread won’t normally change under those circumstances.

Jot down a few notes for your ser-vice team on when the noise happens (think of the what, where, and when parameters). If there’s more than one driver in the family, always have the

person who has experienced the noise the most take it in to the shop. Nothing wastes time or money like someone who drops off the keys at the service desk, saying “I don’t know why it’s in today, I never heard any noise, and you’ll have to call my partner.”

If there’s any doubt between you and your service consultant about the type of noise you want investigated, arrange a road-test with a tech or ad-visor and demonstrate the noise. This will go a long way to getting back your

quiet ride at the lowest price possible.On Sunday July 27th the 16th An-

nual Ford Spectacular lands at Camp-bell Ford on Carling Avenue in Ottawa courtesy of the National Capital Mus-tang Association and Campbell Ford starting at 9 a.m. On the same day the Rolling Thunder Car & Motorcycle Show rolls into Smiths Falls Lower Reach Park.

If you have any questions, opin-ions, or stories on anything automo-tive please drop me a line, [By email

to [email protected] or directly to [email protected] listing ‘Ques-tion for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, Ont. K7A 4T1]. When using regular mail, please sup-ply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume I can’t always promise replies).

Emerson’s invention gets him in hot water

Gazette Lifestyle - Mother always said my brother Emerson was going to grow up to be a prominent scientist...or at the very least an inventor of note. He spent hours drawing on art paper that Mother somehow managed to buy at Ritza’s Drug Store at the one cent sale...you got five pads for a quarter, and then five more for a nickel. So Emerson al-ways had a goodly number of pads on which to draw mysterious glass build-ings, unrecognizable structures, and maps of countries which existed only in his imagination.

And he was forever dreaming up

some idea that would make life easier on the farm. These ideas would be first put to paper, and if he could manage it, put into use...but rarely did any of them amount to a hill of beans.

Take the time he thought if he put plank like devices on the horses feet in the winter time it would prevent the horses from plunging belly- deep in the snow in the bush. Fortunately Father wouldn’t let him near the team, but Em-erson was so sure the idea was one of the best he had ever dreamed up that he took his design and tucked it under his bed with his collection of maps and pic-tures of buildings the likes of which we had never seen before, and thought we never would.

And then one hot summer day he got another spurt of imagination. It hap-pened when we were both swinging on the gate behind the cow byre. The

cows were waiting to be put inside to be milked, and the horse flies were as thick as thieves. I felt so sorry for the cows. Their tails weren’t nearly long enough to swat the flies off their front parts, and so I would often stand with a leafy branch and swish it over their backs chasing away these dreadful flies which I hated with a passion.

I was lamenting to Emerson that the horse flies even followed the cows into the barn. And I commented that once I started to milk I had to forgo chasing away the flies.

Emerson hung most of his body over the link fence. Not a muscle in his en-tire form was moving. He always went like that when he was thinking...sort of like being in a trance it was, I thought.

That night while the rest of us sat looking at Eaton’s Catalogue at the kitchen table, Emerson was in a corner

with his pad of graph paper. No one paid any attention to him...this was the way he spent many an hour.

But the next day he took me into his confidence. I should have known better. The only time he ever confided in me about something as private as an inven-tion was when he needed help. He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning. And when he came out he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight. He had two long poles...cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre.

“If this works, I’ll make a fortune,” he said. “See if you can sidle up to that cow over there.” Now, I know why I was taken into his confidence. Most of the cows were pets to me, and I had no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still. Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine. Bossy was swishing her tail like mad. Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it. I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emerson’s orders. He placed the two hefty limbs along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped the binder twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end. When he had it se-cured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said, “Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my design is correct, she will kill the horse flies on contact.” He added, he would only try it out on one cow to see how it worked.

Now, under ordinary circumstances nothing would have come of this exer-cise, and it would have gone the way of all Emerson’s inventions. But that eve-ning Father was late coming in from the fields. We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking. It was almost dark in the barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossy’s full ud-der. But you didn’t need much light to milk. Father was a scant foot from this weapon Bossy had attached to her tail. The horse flies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing. Emerson was standing at the barn door, which now I realized was very fortu-nate for him. Bossy’s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the flies must have really done some damage, because that apparition Emerson had at-tached to her came around her rear end with a ‘why won’t ya’ and connected with the side of Father’s head with such a whack that it knocked him off the stool and sent the milk flying. Father just sat there for several seconds trying to figure out what hit him. Then he got up and slowly made his way towards Bossy’s tail. He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and the binder twine that he hadn’t noticed before. He let one roar out of him or-dering Emerson to get in there at once. I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing.

All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping at the spilt milk.
