By Craig BakayReporter

EMC News The mem-ber townships of Frontenac County are looking at pool-ing their resources when it comes to major roads (Roads 38, 506/509 and 95 on Wolfe Island), Central Frontenac Council heard at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake.

Public Works Manager Mike Richardson told Coun-cil that his counterparts from the other township agreed at a meeting in North Frontenac to explore the possibilities,

especially if it could lead to increased funding from the Province.

We thought it would be a good idea to have Golder Engineering give us a cost on combining all of our GRIPPS programs from each munici-pality to develop a report on the different sections of the corridor and develop a man-agement plan.

This would allow us to apply for funding as a collab-orative group and provide a holistic approach to managing the corridor.

The cost for this will be promoted to the County to pay

for. The corridor roads of

Frontenac County were Pro-vincial responsibilities until amalgamation in 1999 when they were downloaded to being municipal responsibili-ties.

Central Frontenac suc-cessfully negotiated with the Province shortly thereafter for funding that allowed a one-time improvement to its section of Road 38 but some 13 years later, the road could use some work, particularly in terms of the yellow lines which are showing their age on dark nights and/or heavy

rains and fog. Richardson said Central

Frontenac is in the process of doing traffic counts in con-junction with the PWMs plan but that doesnt represent extra costs as the Township owns the traffic counter and it needed to be done anyways.

Part of the reason were doing it is funding requests often ask for it, Richardson said.

CAO/Clerk Shawn Trepanier cautioned Council not to expect immediate re-sults because with the pro-roguing of the Ontario Legis-lature and an expected elec-

tion, we got a letter saying that provincial grants may be on hold and anything requir-ing Ministerial approval is a no-go.

Also on the subject of roads, Coun. Jeff Matson asked about the new guard-rails at Arden Road and Hwy 7 being too high and present-ing a hazard to motorists see-ing approaching westbound traffic.

Matson said in the past, the guardrails were trimmed to a lower height and staff was directed to bring the matter to the attention of the MTO.

Gathering seeks to bring communities togetherBy Craig BakayReporter

EMC News Ill be speaking to Algonquins but I hope my words will be useful to non-Algonquins who live and work here, author and York University associate professor Bonita Lawrence told the Gather-ing Knowledge Communi-ty Symposium Saturday at St. James Major Catholic Church in Sharbot Lake.

The Symposium, orga-nized by the Ardoch Al-gonquin First Nation, was put together to bring the whole community together share in the greatness of Mother Earth, Eshkaki-mikwe, and it is our shared responsibility to gather knowledge, to live well and have full lives, said a passage on the symposium program.

Other featured speak-ers included Tom Pawlick, author of The War in the Country How the Fight to Save Rural Life Will Shape Our Future, and pan-el discussions led by Regi-na Hartwick, Susan Delisle, Marcie Webster, Davide Welch, Paul McCarney and Robert Lovelace.

For her part, Lawrence spoke about growing up with a sense of homeless-ness because we werent status and quoted her lat-

est book, Fractured Home-land Federal Recogni-tion and Algonquin Iden-tity in Ontario.

She said the book took her 10 years to write, much of that spent interviewing Algonquins in Ontario and Quebec to get their feelings on land claims, status and simply being Algonquin.

Many of the people in Ardoch are my friends but I couldnt simply duplicate their beliefs and put them in a book, she said. How do you present things that are your beliefs but still re-spect those whose beliefs you dont share?

She spoke on the ongo-ing land claim settlement process and how many feel disenfranchised by it, especially those in the Ar-doch Nation who chose to remain in their traditional territory but refused sta-tus and as such were es-sentially excluded from the land claim process.

She spoke of how tra-ditional Algonquin lands were split at the Ottawa River, with two-thirds of Algonquin people in Que-bec and one-third in On-tario.

The people here have faced more division than other Algonquins, she said. And we still need healing.

There should never have been any moves to land claims before healing.

The leaders are bound by secrecy from discussing

the land claims and those who are not within those

groups have no venue to discuss land claims.

Keynote speaker Bonita Lawrence reads from her book Fractured Homeland Federal Recognition and Al-gonquin Identity in Ontario.

Frontenac Paramedic Service turns itself in to labour ministryBy Craig BakayReporter

EMC News In a some-what unorthodox move, Fron-tenac Paramedic Services has reported itself to the Ontario Ministry of Labour as being in violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

However, there was a method to this seeming mad-ness, as Frontenac County Chief of Paramedic Services Paul Charbonneau explained in a press release last week.

We have filed this report in hopes that a Ministry of La-bour investigation will result in recommendations to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care that immediate im-plementation of a flagging pro-gram at all Central Ambulance Communications Centres (CACC) across the province is imperative to the health and safety of all Ontario Paramed-ics, Charbonneau said.

The reporting stems from

an incident in June of this year when a crew of two para-medics responded to a call in Kingston. When the paramed-ics arrived, a resident threat-ened them with a firearm.

Fortunately, the crew was able to exit the residence safely and wait unharmed outside un-til police arrived to gain con-trol of the situation, he said in the release.

Following the incident, Frontenac Paramedic Services requested that the address involved be flagged at the CACC, which would ensure that, if dispatched to that ad-dress in the future, paramedics would be alerted to the poten-tial danger prior to arriving.

Although the Ministry of Health has rolled out flag-ging programs for some dis-patch centres, some across the province, such as the Kingston CACC, have not adopted the practice. As such, the Ministry denied the Countys request for flagging.

So, Carbonneau and Occu-pational Health Nurse Bonnie Carter contacted the Ministry of Labour on Oct. 23 to turn themselves in for breaching Sections 25 and 27 of the Oc-cupational Health and Safety Act which states: An em-ployer shall provide informa-tion, instruction and supervi-sion to a worker to protect the health or safety of the worker and a supervisor shall advise a worker of the existence of any potential or actual danger to the health or safety of the worker of which the supervi-sor is aware and take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protec-tion of a worker.

We are very concerned about the safety of our para-medics and hope that this pro-active move will make a dif-ference for our front line staff who put themselves at risk every time they respond to a call, said Frontenac County Warden Janet Gutowski.

Eye-in-the-sky finds buildings the Township didnt know aboutBy Craig BakayReporter

EMC News If you have a building on your land that the Township didnt know about before, expect to be getting a little higher tax bill in years to come.

It seems, with the ad-vent of GIS mapping and satellite technology, Big Brothers eye-in-the-sky has been watching you.

In a report to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake, IT coordinator Charlene Godfrey said analysis done at the County level has identified 271 prop-erties within the Town-ship which are assessed as vacant which contain building(s).

Im amazed, said Mayor Janet Gutowski. Thats really wrong (be-cause) those buildings have the potential for tax-ation.

And not only that, Dep. Clerk/Planning Coordina-tor Cathy MacMunn said some of them are going to have to come in for mi-nor variances.

Were going to get

them with both barrels. Some properties on

the West Basin of Sharbot Lake have buildings we didnt know about but now we have the technology, said CAO/Clerk Shawn Trepanier.

Godfrey said that when DRAPE (aerial photog-raphy) was introduced in 2009, it was purchased as a tool for visual overlay and analysis with the GIS system within the munici-pality.

The tool became more valuable to a project start-ed in 2010 to locate all properties coded in MPAC as vacant within the Town-ship and overlay the aerial photography, she said in the report. This gave a visual to determine if the land was actually being taxed accordingly (vacant vrs. dwellings, taxed as vacant).

The Tichborne-Parham Santa Claus Parade may be moving to an evening affair this year assuming that the OPP and other agencies are OK with the idea.

CAO/Clerk Shawn Trepanier said he would check with public works, OPP and emergency ser-vices and report back at the Nov. 13 Council meet-ing.

With the slated closure

of Hinchinbrooke Pub-lic School next year, the future of the Parham Li-brary (which is housed in a portable classroom at the school) is up in the air.

Dep. Mayor Bill Sny-der told Council at its regular meeting last week that it needs to deal with the situation now, suggest-ing a new library.

Coun. Norm Gunten-sperger noted that the fire hall in Mountain Grove was designed with the possibility of adding a li-brary at some time in the future and that might be a model for Parham, given that Council is looking at refurbishing the fire hall there.

Coun. Jeff Matson sug-gested that the portable might be moved to the fire hall grounds as a tempo-rary solution.

Because of you, we have access to leading research and education

Since its incorporation in 2005, the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation has been deliv-ering on its mission to enable our community to support excellence in patient care, teach-ing and research at the university hospitals of Kingston through raising funds and awareness.Because of the generosity of more than 40,000 people, organizations and businesses in our region, UHKF has raised almost $80 million in cash and pledges to support capital rede-velopment, patient care, research and educa-tion at our hospitals.UHKF fundraising supports priorities that are dened by Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kings-ton General Hospital and Providence Care. ough the solicitation of gis has not been focused on specic priorities,UHKF accepts restricted gis to all areas of patient care, research and educa-tion within any of the three hospitals and ensures that the restrictions attached to gis are complied with in the use of the funds.Last week we shared a few examples of how equipment purchased through donations makes a dierence from examples our of our Because of You Community Report. is week we change our focus to education and research.As a university centre, research is an impor-tant activity not only for advancing new tech-niques and technologies, but also to ensure we are able to attract the best and brightestclinicians to Kingston.Research is where the answers are going to come from. ats where the treatments ofthe future are going to derive - from researchers such as myself and many others. Its an invest-ment in the future for new understanding of disease, new treatments and ultimately,for better patient care. Dr. Anne EllisA new initiative in support of research was

launched by UHKF this year, called the Wom-ens Giving Circle. It is a group of communitywomen of diverse backgrounds and interests who know that we are able to do more to-gether than as individuals, and desire to have a real and sustainable impact on health care at our hospitals. e members believe that

there is incredible po-tential being nurtured in our medical re-search community and

understand that without base funding, many important research projects are challenged to move past the concept and design phase to implementation and impact.

As this regions teaching and research hospi-tals, sta education is very important in ensur-ing our sta has up-to-date expertise and skills that help people across Southeastern Ontario. Funds to support education of sta take many forms, such as bursaries and awards to sup-port continuing education or outright clinical education. ey also fund conferences and other outside events where sta can learn ev-erything from the latest medication to care trends.Without those dollars, our educator wouldnt be able to run a course that has allowed not just our nurses, but anyone wanting to know how to work with and empathize with palliative care patients its completely funded because of donation dollars.

Stringent property standards proposal rejected by CouncilBy Craig BakayReporter

EMC News Although councilors were the only ones who got to see two proposals for a new prop-erty standards/safe prop-erties bylaw at the regu-lar meeting of Central Frontenac Council last week in Sharbot Lake, it was clear from the get-go that neither of the pro-posals CAO/Clerk Shawn Trepanier presented were going to fly as-is.

One proposal was a re-work of the existing safe properties bylaw and an-other a totally new bylaw that drew the ire of Coun. Norm Guntensperger along with others around the Council table.

To me, this feels com-pletely inappropriate, Guntensperger said. It says all properties and if you have any swamp at all, youre going to have grass longer than 10 inches.

There will be no dead trees allowed anywhere and its just not reason-able. What are you going to do mow the entire district?

This isnt even a starting point.

You cant even have shrubs and bushes under this, said Coun. John Purdon.

With the pests and vermin clause, Id be shooting all the time, said Coun. Frances Smith. And I think we

heard quite clearly last time around that residents dont want people coming into their house.

We have to be careful what were asking people is reasonable, said Gun-tensperger.

Whats wrong with the old bylaw? said Coun. Heather Fox.

Its very generalized, very broad and hard to enforce, said Trepanier.

Trepanier said the impetus to institute a property standards by-law came from staff and some people from Ar-den.

He said he also want-ed to see some provision whereby residents could make a complaint but he would go and observe and

become the complain-ant if somebody doesnt want their name used.

Trepanier also sug-gested another round of public meeting on the subject but that was re-jected by Council.

I agree that option 1 isnt what we want but I dont think we need to go back to the public, said Mayor Janet Gutowski. And I agree that the by-law needs to be complaint driven.

So, well just re-word the second proposal? said Trepanier.

Just tweak the exist-ing bylaw, said Purdon.

Trepanier said hed have a draft bylaw ready for the next Council meet-ing.

EMC Editorial The lat-est sign that the apocalypse is upon us: Central Fronte-nac wants us to wash our gar-bage.

Well, they like to call it recycling but if it looks like a duck and it waddles like a duck . . . Anything we have no use for and want to get rid of is called garbage. Dig into your thesaurus and see also waste, refuse, trash, rubbish, etc. but not to be confused with claptrap, twaddle, blath-er or balderdash.

But Dep. Mayor Bill Sny-der summed it all up when

he said: Im not about to be washing out my garbage.

Consider this from the waste management activity report presented at Council last week: we will also be starting an education program with residents to ensure that recycling is being rinsed out prior to coming to the waste sites . . . it is important for the Township to have high quality recycling . . .

First of all, isnt it curious when governing entities start referring to things as educa-tion? Wasnt Chairman Mao big on that kind of education too?

But secondly, and of more importance, high quality re-cycling???

The report goes on to say because it will give us more options in the marketplace in the future.

Hmmm. Marketplace is a curious word. It implies the Township is looking at selling something. Well, of course theyll like to call it a rev-

enue stream but were back to ducks again.

So, they want their resi-dents to do extra work for them so that they can reap the benefits. In other words, a feu-dal system. We peasants work so that the government can benefit.

Then again, perhaps there is a silver lining to this. For example, weve been looking for a slogan to attract tourist visitors. What could send a message better than Central Frontenac Finest Garbage Anywhere?

Yesiree, you can sure tell the measure of a municipality by the quality of its garbage.

And of course, we cant have the people who collect and process the recycling thinking any less of us, now can we?

You really have to won-der at any society that would require its residents to wash their garbage.

Sure we have waste man-agement issues that need to

be addressed, but somewhere along the line, somebody has to start looking at what is reasonable to expect, espe-cially in a rural community that many moved to in order to escape the issues that large urban centres face.

And heres another in-teresting little tidbit on the garbage front. Bylaw en-forcement officer Ken Gilpin was asked by Mayor Janet Gutowski at the last Council meeting how many instances there were of garbage being thrown away on roadways since the clear bag policy came in.

There was some occa-sions, Gilpin replied.

Comparable to previous years? said Gutowski.

I didnt come prepared to answer that, said Gilpin.

That would certainly seem to indicate there were enough instances so as to make remembering each one difficult. In other words, the answer wasnt one or two.

At a news conference Oct. 23, the Ontario Medi-cal Association called for aggressive new measures to combat obesity.

According to the association, one in three Cana-dian children, 31.5 per cent, is overweight or obese and three quarters of overweight children remain so in adulthood. Moreover, effects associated with obe-sity cost tax payers between $2.2 and $2.5 billion annually.

In an effort to fight this public epidemic the OMA is calling for increased taxes on junk food, decreased taxes on healthy goods; marketing restrictions on fatty and sugary foods; placement of graphic warn-ing labels on high calorie foods with little to no nu-tritional value; health risk information on displays of high-sugar and high-fat foods; and restrictions on the availability of sugary, low-nutritional value foods in recreational facilities.

The proposed measures introduced by the OMA take inspiration from anti-tobacco campaigns that have contributed to reducing smoking rates in Ontar-io. They point to tax increases, public information, removal of tobacco displays and advertising bans for reducing smoking rates in the province from close to 50 per cent in the 1960s to 20 per cent today.

While we support the OMAs efforts in reducing the provinces growing obesity epidemic, we take particular issue with one of its proposals: increased taxes on junk food.

While we do agree that increased taxes on to-bacco products helped to reduce smoking rates in the province, those taxes only affected smokers. In-creased taxes on junk food would impact consumers at large, including those who maintain a healthy diet and active lifestyle but choose every once in a while to indulge.

We would prefer to see decreased taxes on healthy foods and health risk information be the cornerstones of any anti-obesity campaign. Arming all consumers with the information and financial means to make healthy decisions is the way to go in our book.

Junk Food tax not the answer to obesity

Merrickville: historic, funky, and a tad anarchistic

EMC Lifestyle The word idyllic, used with an-noying frequency in travel brochures to describe distant locations, is a perfect moni-ker for the town of Merrick-vile.

There are good reasons its called the jewel of the Rideau.

Once youve visited, youll understand why the town was awarded the title of Canadas Prettiest Village by Communities in Bloom in 1998.

Merrickville was settled in 1793 by William Mer-rick, who was attracted by the available water power. He built a dam along with a sawmill and carding mill.

When the Rideau Canal was built in the early 1800s,

Merricks Mills, as it was known at the time, was quite an industrial centre.

But with the coming of the railway in the later 1800s, Smiths Falls took prominence over Merrick-ville, which was dependent on water transportation.

The locks remain today. Theyre a beautiful part of the towns landscape. Mer-rickville remains a popular water spot.

In addition to the locks, the bridges in the town have their own appeal. The most fascinating is the swing bridge over the upper lock. Unlike Kingstons bridge, which swings up and down, along the LaSalle Cause-way over the Cataraqui River, Merrickvilles bridge swings to the side to allow boats to pass through. The bridge is located adjacent to the towns crossroads of St. Lawrence and Main.

Many of the towns build-ings from its early days are still standing.

The Baldachin Inn at the corner of St. Lawrence and Main Streets was built in

1860 and once housed the largest department store between Montreal and Chi-cago.

It would be a good idea to keep your head up while visiting Merrickville. Its not that theres the risk of anything falling on you. But, if you dont look skyward, you might miss something wonderful, the shop signs. Most are handmade. Each is unique. This town is artistic to the core.

There are unique shop names throughout the townWhistle Post Antiques, A Touch of Whimsy, Knock Knock Shop, Pottery by Boz, and Country Bump-kins, to name a few.

Make sure to stop in at Anarchy Gallery at 147 St. Lawrence Street, the main east/west artery through Merrickville.

Youll find some remark-able art by Angelina Wrona, and you might have a chance to meet the artist. Wrona cre-ates quirky stuff, and I love quirky. Her paintings are inspired by American por-traiture combined with Japa-

nese animation. Like much pop surrealism, this sounds weird and messed up, and it is. In all the right ways. It has somewhat of a Rocky Horror Gothic-type mood. In addi-tion to art, there are apparel and accessories on site.

Formerly a registered nurse, Wrona found herself

overwhelmed and conflicted by the touching and tragic situations in her medical ca-reer. Needless to say, some of the same conflicts, along with humour (which is in it-self healing), are evident in her art.

Kevin Robert Gray, a glassblower, is located at

634 St. Lawrence Street. His work combines precious metals and recycled crystal glass. Outside of Merrick-ville, his glass art can be found in private, corporate, government and museum collections.

613-549-257312 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, November 1, 2012

Grotto Artworks, at 110 Main Street East (part of the Baldachin Inn building), features the works of sev-eral artists. In 2005, more than ten artists and artisans created this artists coop-erative. Pottery, jewellery, hemp garments and wood-

turnings, and original works of art are on display and for sale in Grotto Artworks.

Harts Pottery and Gourds, with art by Clau-dette Hart, featured in a recent Enchant column, is located at 132 Bruce Street.

Scores of other shops will entice and welcome you.

You shouldnt have trou-ble finding a place to dine or snack.

The Village Bean at 205 St. Lawrence Street serves coffee, tea and juice. You can also grab things like muffins, fresh-baked pie, cinnamon buns, Belgian waffles, soups and chilli.

For a more upscale sit-down meal, you can try the Baldachin Inns din-ing room. It features one of Canadas few remaining Heritage-designated inte-

riors, with original stained glass, overlooking the Ride-au Canal.

Also on the Baldachin site is Harry McLeans Pub with the usual pub fare.

Down the street at 317 St. Lawrence is the Goose and Gridiron English Coun-try Pub. The interior is de-signed to look like an 1856 pub. If its a cold day, you can enjoy the warmth from

their fireplace. They also have a childrens menu.

Readers of this column may want to give me a good swat in the back of the head for even mentioning the following on the first day of November: I know there are those who, like me, de-test the hordes of Christmas shoppers slithering through stores in December. If you dont mind the slight

anachronistic sense of do-ing your Yuletide shopping long before Christmas, Merrickville provides an ideal location to do it now. And, at this time of year, the summer tourist crowds are gone.

The choice of gifts and treasures available in the town shops is almost limit-less. There are lots of one-of-a-kind and unusual items for a special person in your life. Im planning on going back for a whole day with a shopping list for those who deserve something unique and creative.

When you need a break from quaint, the historic locks are nearby, within two or three blocks of all the main shops in town. There is lots of parkland, which makes for a refresh-ing autumn getaway.

Directions: Take High-way 15 north to Smiths Falls. In Smiths Falls, when you reach the bridge cross-ing the Rideau, go straight through the lights rather than turning left. Follow this road until you reach Highway 43. This takes you to Merrickville.

He popped the question in his 1959 Plymouth hardtop

EMC Lifestyle - Ron Clark of Caledonia, On-

tario, still has fond memo-ries of the 1959 Plymouth

hardtop he purchased off a car lot in Simcoe in the fall of 1961:

It was black with a white top and had the 318 cubic inch V8 engine with a pushbutton automatic transmission, a major change from my earlier cars (a 50 Chev and 53

Plymouth). My 59 Plym-outh had fender skirts and wheel discs and I added purple mood lights which never seemed to help much for me. I must say, though, that it was in this car that I proposed to my future wife Nancy. Maybe those lights brought me

luck as we have been mar-ried now for 48 years.

Unfortunately, an-other major change was in store. We got married in 1964 and had to downsize to a Volkswagen Beetle.

More than 40 years later, Ron purchased the convertible version of the two-door hardtop he owned back in the 60s: I bought my 1959 Plymouth Fury convertible at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2007. Its in great con-dition and has the same power train as my original 59. I suspect the interior has been redone, and its in the same gaudy copper colour as original. I be-lieve it is quite rare as only about 5000 were built.

Both of Rons 1959 Plymouths had high sweep-ing tailfins as they rolled off the assembly line. The late 1950s was the golden age of fins on cars, and the Chrysler Corporation offered them on all their cars at that time. I was seventeen when the 59 Plymouths began rolling off the assembly line, and I can still remember being struck by the handsome imprint of a spare tire on

the trunk lid between the two tailfins.

Two convertibles were offered in 1959, the Bel-vedere and the Sport Fury. Rons car is a Sport Fury and cost $3125 U.S. when new. The 318 V8 was stan-dard equipment. The Fury first appeared in 1956 as a two-door hardtop with lots of horsepower. It came only in white with a very prominent gold trim along the side and quickly earned its reputation as a hot car. The Plymouth Furys of the 50s and 60s are highly collectible to-day, especially the con-vertibles.

New director takes on huge role

EMC Lifestyle Ashlie Corcorans way of exploring life and the human condi-tion is through theatre. The phrase enthusiasm is con-tagious could have been coined for this new Artistic Director of the Thousand Is-lands Playhouse.

Corcoran replaces Greg Wanless, who spent 30 years with the Gananoque theatre company. Whoever was in-volved in hiring the new Artistic Director made the right decision in not trying to fill Greg Wanless shoes. They chose a new director as unique and ubiquitous as the brilliant Wanless. But different.

Corcoran has her hands everywhere in the Canadian and international theatre and opera scenes. She has cred-its in directing numerous plays, musicals and operas. Shes worked on traditional productions like The Secret Garden, and such not-so-traditionals as The Ugly One and Tijuana Cure with Theatre Smash.

I first met Ashlie last summer when Greg Wan-less introduced us. Before the introduction, he told me, Im confident Im passing the role to good hands.

I was struck by her re-alness and her excitement. Theatre lives in her heart.

When I was a very lit-tle girl, I was interested in acting, she said. When I learned to read and write, I wanted to become a writer.

But in her pre-universi-ty years, Corcoran studied music, not drama. As she completed high school, she explained to her mother that she wanted to do something in the arts.

I described the roles of producing and directing.

While in high school in White Rock, British Co-lumbia, she attended a mu-sic festival in Ottawa. Her mother was one of the chap-erones. Mom drove daughter to Kingston to visit Queens University.

I was smitten. I met the head of the drama depart-ment.

As a scholarship recipient at the University of British Columbia, she was invited to apply to attend the Bader International Study Cen-tre at Herstmonceux Castle in England. Each year, the program accepts five UBC undergrads.

While studying at Her-stmonceaux, Corcoran was involved in theatre and re-alized she wanted to direct rather than stage manage.

After her year at the castle, she transferred to Queens for her remaining undergrad years.

I loved the Queens drama department, she said. It was a liberal arts education that involved aca-demic, theoretic and practi-

cal learning. When I first ar-rived in second year, I felt a little intimidated. It felt like everyone had been doing drama since they were two years old.

After graduating from Queens, Corcoran worked at Tarragon Theatre for two years.

In 2003, she was award-ed a Theatre Ontario Pro-fessional Theatre Training Grant and mentored at the Shaw Festival.

In 2005, she joined New York Citys Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab. That same year, she co-founded

Theatre Smash in Toronto, but the first show wasnt produced until 2006.

We wanted to build a solid foundation, including getting charitable status, creating a strong vision and mandate, and being support-ed by a board of directors.

Around the time of the first show, she was invited to be the Ensemble Studio Intern Stage Director with

the Canadian Opera Com-pany. She directed The Bear in the 2006/07 season.

Also in 2007, she was guest artist at Goethe-Institut in Berlin, in a four-month di-recting residency at Maxim Gorki Theater. Three years ago, she took part in the Shaw Festival Neil Munro Intern Directors Project.

The list of credentials goes on.

After 2007, until her cur-rent role, she worked as a freelance director of opera and theatre and continued serving as Artistic Producer of Theatre Smash.

She received a UK Gov-ernment Chevening Schol-arship to study in England at Goldsmiths College of the University of London.

So I went back to Eng-land, she said.

It was a productive time for her. She completed her Masters Degree in Direct-ing at Goldsmiths. Cultur-ally, it was an enthralling time.

Through complimentary tickets and student pricing, she was able to get to the theatre a couple of times a week and saw more than a hundred plays during her time in England.

Her most recent directo-rial works include the Ca-nadian Opera Companys The Brothers Grimm, and Western Canada Theatres 25th Annual Putnam Coun-ty Spelling Bee.

In January, she knew she had the directors job at Thousand Islands Play-house and, by summer, was spending time there.

Gregs been very gen-erous all summer, she said. I dont want to take any sharp turns with the Playhouse. There has been much growth over 30 years, and I want to build on the strengths that are there.

Corcoran is planning on promoting new play development. She said the Playhouse will host a Playwrights Unit.

Ill meet with a hand-ful of local playwrights once a month, she said. Well be working on a script, which, to start, may only be an idea. I want to work on something that would work well on ei-ther of our stages. These meetings will culminate in a one day workshop of each script. In the evening, there will be a public read-ing. The playwright will get to hear questions from actors and an audience.

The following year will involve further workshops at a more intensive level. In the third year, one of the plays will have its world premier at the Thousand Islands Playhouse. Mean-while, each year, a new series of play development will begin.

If it sounds like a daunt-ing task, it is. But this is a director who doesnt shy from challenges.

Another area where Corcoran would like to see growth is in outreach and education in the Young Company tours.

Its not just the show,

she said. Theres the edu-cational added value. Well offer hands-on workshops for the students who are there. This fosters an in-terest in drama, but also promotes literacy, self-awareness and self-con-fidence, skills that can be transferred to other areas of their lives.

She explained that dra-ma provides an opportu-nity to learn diverse life skills.

For example, if stu-dents see No Great Mis-chief and work with ac-tors on things like public speaking and movement, they are gaining self-con-fidence, she said. The point isnt to get the whole generation into acting, its to get them excited about shared human stories while learning skills that are use-ful in any walk of life.

She hopes to promote a student matinee cultur-al experience. Saltwater Moon and No Great Mis-chief offer superb oppor-tunities.

These plays resonate with young people, and they
