  • Embracing Diversity in College Setting by Agnes Ramos
    Rooted in tradition · Exploring the future Vol. 44 · Issue #8 Thursday, February 10, 2011 Loyalist College · Belleville, ON · Canada Embracing diversity in college setting By Agnes Ramos February is the shortest month of the year. It features Groundhog Day, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day and Heart and Stroke Month. How- ever, many Loyalist College students may not know this: February is also Black History Month. The first celebration of Black His- tory Month in Canada was in Toron- to in 1950 and in 1995, the House of Commons nationally declared the month of February as Black History Month. Across the metropolitan areas of Canada, elementary schools, high schools, and post-secondary insti- tutions will be commemorating the achievements of black Americans and Canadians. From extravagant presentations and assemblies to simple tidbits of facts and quota- tions, students will be learning about the contributions of the Afri- can diaspora to the history of North America. But some schools, such as Loyal- ist, do not formally mark Black His- tory Month. “The college is an educational fa- cility with a large responsibility to the community…It doesn’t matter if we had just one person of colour here, we should still be educating ourselves. Black history is our his- tory,” said Shawn Doyle of the ab- original resource centre at Loyalist College.

    About Widmer Brothers In 1979, with the legalization of home brewing in Oregon, brothers Kurt and Rob Widmer began making beer for themselves and their friends. By 1984 when Craft brewing was legalized, they started their own brewery at Widmer Brewing Company. In 1986 the owner of The Dublin Pub, which already carried the brother’s Altbier and Weizenbier, was eager to expand his offerings and asked the brothers to make a third for him. The brewery only had two fermenters at the time so to save space, they simply left the Weizenbier unfil- tered and impressively cloudy, thus creating the first American-Style Hefeweizen. In 1990 Kurt & Rob moved the brewery to its current location in North Portland and renamed the brewery Widmer Brothers Brewing. Today, the unfiltered cloudy beer is the company’s signature brew and one of the best selling wheat beers, winning numerous Gold Medals at festivals across the country. The brewery currently produces a variety of award-winning and heralded craft beers including Drop Top Amber Ale and Upheaval IPA.

It is remarkable to think how much FACTOR has changed since I first became involved with the organization. Over this time, FACTOR has made a number of important improvements and transforma- tional changes in the way it administers funding for the Canadian independent music industry. These include efforts to build staff expertise to ensure consistent, fair and transparent funding; to develop a res- ponsible investment strategy for surplus funding that ensures long-term 2013–2014 FACTOR funding stability; the modernization of our application processes and client services with investments in digital infrastructure; and, most importantly, a re-design of our programs to better reflect how the industry is monetizing recorded music and to ensure investments are made in areas where they will have the greatest potential to be com- mercially meaningful. FACTOR’s ability to successfully navigate the dramatic changes shaping the Canadian independent music industry is due in large part to the stable funding it receives from the public-private partnership shared between Canada’s private radio broadcasters and the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR This year has been filled with significant change and considerable accomplishments, culminating with the launch of our new program and application system FACTOR 2.0 in April 2013. The goal of FACTOR 2.0 was simple: design a system and programs that award funding based on merit, are transparent and easy to use, and reflect the current business models of the Canadian independent music industry. This type of change was long overdue, as FACTOR’s previous funding model was based heavily on out-of-date business practices, which focused primarily on the physical sale of recorded music.

  • Got Beer? Make Sure It’S Your Own
    Got Beer? Make Sure It’s Your Own Brewers, be careful when picking a name for your beer. You wouldn’t expect craft brewers to be a litigious bunch, but believe it or not, there’s a lot of suing going on, and it’s been happening for years. Not only do craft breweries have to protect themselves from legal Armageddon by the likes of AB-Inbev, but even the small champions of craft beer have been dishing out the “cease and desist” orders a little too often lately. Thirsty Dog took issue with a brewery called Sleepy Dog over a beer called “Leghumper,” which is at least understandable as Thirsty Dog has an “Old Leghumper” porter. There were even similarities in label art, but there are, at last count, 4,000 breweries with “dog” in the name. This was bound to happen eventually. And considering the number of different names using a play on the word “hops (eg, Hoptimus Prime, Hoptical Illusion), it’s only a matter of time before people are using the same name, what with new breweries opening with the frequency of Starbucks in the ’90s. Rogue has been dishing out the lawyer fees, going after Rogue Harbor brewing, Gone Rogue Pub and others. Look out, Rogue Island. 10 Barrel, part of the AB-Inbev empire since 2014, recently sent a cease and desist to Mason’s Brewing in Oregon demanding they change the name of “Hipster Apocalypse” because they make a beer called “Apocalypse IPA,” despite the fact that they have different labels. Shipyard sued Shiphead.
