Sydenham Golden Eagles take the Bubba Bowl Let There Be Light Pg. 15

ENCHANTé

EMC Sports – The annual Bubba Bowl football games were played under the lights in Sydenham on the evening of Oct. 10, with the Golden Eagles playing the Bayridge Blazers in both the junior and senior divisions. The popular annual event draws large crowds and is played in memory of Alex “Bubba Turcotte”, a former student and football player at Sydenham High School. The Sydenham Golden Eagles were successful in both games this year beating the Bayridge junior Blazers 41-0 and the senior Blazers 23-0. More pics on pg 7. Photo/John Harman

Central Frontenac Council takes another look at how they do things By Craig Bakay Reporter

Creative Brillance Pg. 37

Gazette News — Changes to the way Central Frontenac Council does its public meetings are in the offing, following a report from new CAO/ Clerk Larry Donaldson at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake. In his report, Donaldson cited four “observations” with recommendations. “The purpose of this process change is threefold,” he said. “It will reduce the burden of the chair and make meetings more efficient by freeing up the chair’s time to focus on presiding over the meeting and ensuring proper procedure; members of the public will see how the mover and seconder are iden-

tified, thereby increasing transparency and it will provide members of Council the ability to more clearly show their support or opposition for an item by having the ability to choose which motions they want to support or not.” Donaldson suggested changes to the agenda format, staff reports, service areas and motions. “A review of the Procedure Bylaw has been on Council’s list of outstanding items since 2011,” he said. “Presently, the bylaw indicates that a committee of the whole system will be used at the outset of the meeting yet the practice is to sit as Council. “Given the present situation, it is recommended that the Procedure Bylaw be amended to reflect the current practice and the reference to Commit-

tee of the Whole be deleted.” That sat well with at least one councilor. “My personal opinion is that our current practice doesn’t jive,” said Coun. Norm Guntensperger. “Delete the committee of the whole reference. “The last time we had a long discussion on the role of the chair, we decided our chair doesn’t directly participate in debate until just before the vote is taken. “(And) I’d like some clarification as to how motions are brought forward because I’ve never seen anybody use notice of motion or any reference to ‘friendly amendments’ in our bylaw.” “It’s not in the Municipal Act either,” said Coun. Fran Smith, who was chairing the meeting.

“We’ll look at the role of the chair and 99 per cent of motions are derived from staff reports,” said Donaldson. “My feeling is that the mayor is elected to do mayor’s duties,” said Coun. Heather Fox. “The public goes to a meeting, sees somebody else in the chair and wonders what’s happening. “I didn’t run for councilor to chair a meeting.” “The Procedural Bylaw should be a living document,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski. “It should be written for the times and the people involved. “I think it works fine for this Council (but) I’m also fine with the staff recommendations.” “I think we should stop being a committee of the whole, just be Council and get the job done,” said Smith.

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Council spent a lot of money at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake, including awarding contracts for snow plowing/sanding, engineering design services for reconstruction and repair of bridges, foundation wall repairs to Kennebec hall and the replacement of the boilers at the Sharbot Lake Medical Centre. But none drew as much discussion as the tender for a bear fence and gate system at Olden Park Waste Site. The Olden Park site also houses a lot of municipal vehicles and equipment, as well as a sand dome, and waste management supervisor Kyle Labbett said he wanted to include some added security for those assets while keeping the bears at bay. “The bear fence serves a number of purposes,� Labbett said. “It will keep the bears out of the waste site which will reduce the required thickness of the cover material and will keep the garbage within the licensed footprint of the waste site. “We currently have a big problems with bears dragging garbage into the forests and swamps which the attendants then have to go and pick up. “The fence will also provide a layer of safety for residents so they are not in direct contact with the bears when unloading their vehicles.� Nobody seemed to have a problem with that part. But also included in the $28,566.46 + tax proposal was an electric gate (operated by a key card system) at the entrance to the public works

yard which would provide security to the yard and keep the public well away from the waste site when it is not in operation. “This cost is $1,200 higher than installing a roller gate at the waste site because we will need to run power out to it,� he said. “When the waste site is open, the gate will automatically be open.� But that didn’t sit well with Coun. Jeff Matson. “We’re trying to keep the bears out of the dump,� he said. “But with the sand dome outside the gate, the guys will have to use the gate a lot and I can hear guys complaining about having to use a key card during winter hours.� “They’ll just have to roll down the windows to use the card,� Labbett said. “We’ll work it out with the guys in advance,� said Public Works Manager Mike Richardson. Barrett’s Farm and Family Centre of Sterling was awarded the contract. As to snowplowing/sanding, Scott’s Snowplowing was awarded the West and Central contracts at prices of $1,914.89 and $1,798.24 respectively. Robinson Excavating was awarded the East contract at $1,535 and Scott’s Snow Removal and Lawn Maintenance the South contract at $2,103.21. The boiler replacement was necessitated by the failure of one of the two propane heated boilers at the medical centre. Treasurer Mike McGovern said that under the terms of the contract, the Township is responsible for “major repairs� and has been setting aside money for this purpose. The contract was awarded to Alex McCoy Plumbing and Heating for $22,429.37

Howe Island proclamation plaque unveiled forget Bruce Burgess as General Howe on that day, hobby horse in tow…” Jones said. “The rest is history. The event was a smashing success,” he said. “But today is about the plaque and as we dedicate it, it is appropriate to thank those who played a part in getting us here.” The Deputy Mayor went to name and thank all volunteers, far too many to list here. He had high praise for them all and their individual roles, and once again thanked Jim Mills for the important role he played. He spoke of wonderful ticket sales, the many donations at the time and major contributions from Gene Manion, Steve Sorenson, The Harrison and the Murray Families . Jim Pritchard and Brian Humphries were recognized as having much to do with the historical research for the plaque and the words it contains, and Robin Craig “ for the firm base upon which it rests.” There were exclamations of approval as the brilliant blue plaque, embossed with the words of the proclamation , and a raised replica of Howe Island was unveiled. “Let’s not forget July 16th in perpetuity is Howe Island’s Proclamation date,” Jones concluded. FYICouncillor Patrick Norris was the recipient of Howe Island’s 1st Proclamation Day Award on that occasion.

EMC News- A large bronze plaque, solidly erected in a cement pad, was recently unveiled on Howe Island in Sunset Park near the Island’s foot ferry. The plaque, beautifully crafted, commemorates the date of July 16, 1792 when General John Graves Simcoe (Upper Canada’s Lieutenant Governor) named by proclamation the island “Howe” after General Sir William Howe. The plaque was unveiled by Frontenac Islands Deputy Mayor David Jones and Jim Mills both from Howe Island. Mayor Denis Doyle was also present for this event.. Jones reminded the audience of occasion at the park in 2009 when he suggested celebrating the island’s history and its proclamation as Howe, calling for volunteers to make it happen. “I was quite moved so many put up their hands to get involved. After a couple of meetings it was recognized little could happen at that time . However the committee reconvened in 2010, Jim Mills stepped up as Chair, and historical research and event planning began in earnest. Howe Islanders will recall the rousing success of the first Proclamation Day Event held on July 16, 2011 at the grounds of the islands Municipal Building and Fire Hall. At that time a replica of a proposed plaque (to be crafted in bronze) was dedicated. “Who can

IN OCTOBER FOR THE TWILIGHT RATE

Uncle Johnny definitely thought chili sauce was worth a trip from Ottawa from an ample garden that year.

Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Lifestyle - The air in the kitchen hung heavy with the sweet smell of chili sauce. The blue granite pot simmered on the back of the Findlay Oval, and every few minutes Mother would take the big wood spoon and stir the chili sauce, sending out more serious smells. Jars of every size had already been washed and boiled and were now upside down on a clean flour-bag tea towel spread out on the bake table. Hopefully, by supper time, the chili sauce would be ready to be put in jars, and there would be an ample supply left over to slather on our plates. Father would put chili sauce on his pie if Mother would let him. He thought no meal was complete without it. When it had all been bottled, and the lids screwed on as tight as they would go, it was my sister Audrey’s job to carry the jars outside and down to the dug- out under the house, which served as our cellar. The two doors that rested flat against the outside of the house on a tilt were heavy and hard to open, and so I was spared from this chore, for which I was eternally grateful. I hated going down under the house, and into the dank dark hole that held our vegetables in a sand pit, and from swinging shelves could be found preserves and pickles of every description. The shelves, suspended by two chains, was to assure the mice or any other vermin looking for a dark warm home would be unable to get to. Mother lined the shelves with folded copies of the Renfrew Mercury for further protection. Before Grandfather bought Mother a Barnett Ice Box, even our butter and milk were kept on the swinging shelves. And so, the many bottles of chili sauce would soon join the newly jarred preserves and pickles Mother had made

If we liked chili sauce, we had an uncle who liked it even more so, if that was possible. Uncle Johnny DeGray lived in Ottawa, but he and Aunt Vanetta often drove out to Northcote, a trip Father often said would be the last for the old car that seemed to be hung together with binder twine and hairpins! In a failed attempt to make the car look presentable, Uncle Johnny had painted the four fenders, none of which matched in size or shape, a deep red. He said he did that because he lived next door to No. 2 Fire Station on Lyon Street, and he always loved the red fire engines, and was fast friends with all the firemen. On a summer evening, Uncle Johnny would join them in the driveway of the station, sitting on straight-back kitchen chairs, telling off-colour jokes and slapping their knees in gaiety. When Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta came to visit, it was always an overnight trip from Ottawa. The couple was as different as night from day. Aunt Vanetta, tiny with snow white hair, and dressed as neat as a pin, and Uncle Johnny, tall, lanky, with a shiny pink head, completely devoid of hair, except for a small fringe around the back of his neck, was boisterous and loud. And when he laughed, which was often, you had to laugh with him, even if you didn’t know what the joke was all about! Uncle Johnny worked for the city of Ottawa, driving Suzuki 750 KingQuad Auto a monstrous black - Fuel Injected - Power Steering steam roller, which - 4x4 Diff.

the chili sauce jars tight so that they wouldn’t come to some bad fate on the way back to Ottawa. Heaven forbid that the jars would smash together and break and he would lose his precious cargo! My older and wiser sister Audrey said she was quite sure he would rather see the chickens and vegetables toss out the car window, rather than Mother’s precious chili sauce! For Uncle Johnny, the chili sauce was worth the two-day trip from Ottawa!

eaten. But it didn’t matter how much he had on his plate, or how often he went back for seconds, he always had room for those slices of bread slathered with chili sauce. And when it was time for Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta to head back to Ottawa, Mother would have tucked into the back of the old car a couple of freshly plucked chickens, vegetables from the cellar, and always two or three jars of chili sauce. Uncle Johnny would take the old car robe in the back seat, and wrap

like for a meal, which Mother thought was perfectly alright with her. She cooked up whatever he chose, and of course the table was laden with heaping bowls of potatoes, at least two different vegetables, and plates of freshly baked bread. Without even asking, Mother knew that Uncle Johnny would scan the table and if it wasn’t already there, he would say “don’t forget the chili sauce, Mabel”. Uncle Johnny didn’t believe much in saying Grace, even though Aunt Vanetta was a devout Catholic, never missing Mass, and carrying her Rosary beads in her pocket wherever she went, but at our table Grace was mandatory! I confess that during Grace, when Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta were visiting, I kept my eyes open and on Uncle Johnny, and he kept his eyes on the bowl of chili sauce! He would load his plate like it was his last meal on earth, and then he would reach for the chili sauce, and just about empty the bowl! And if that wasn’t enough, when his plate had been wiped clean, he would lay out two slices of heavily buttered bread, and cover them with more chili sauce wiping the bowl clean with a corner of the bread. Often he would undo the top button of his trousers, to ease the discomfort caused by the mounds of food he had

Central Frontenac councilor concerned about County Official Plan By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Coun. Frances Smith has some concerns about the upcoming Frontenac County Official Plan and wants her fellow councilors to make their concerns known as well. “If what South Frontenac’s planner (Lindsay Mills) is seeing is in there, then I have some serious concerns,� she told Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The Province has mandated that all upper tier municipalities should have an Official Plan (previously a ‘sustainability plan’ was sufficient) and County Planner Joe Gallivan has been making the rounds soliciting feedback for the first draft of what he calls a “high-level document.� “We did get (current Central Frontenac Planning Consultant) Glenn’s (Tunnock) comments and they were very polite but he’s in an awkward position as outgoing planner.� Smith was referring to the fact that Central Frontenac voted to replace Tunnock’s company, which has done the planning for EMC Events – Ed Mills brought Mary Joyce and his ’37 Dodge to the Arden Legion branch last weekend for the Township since its inception in 1999, with the County’s service the lunch stop in the Sydenham Legion Road Rally. Gary and Marina Pascoal drove their ’67 Camaro. (Gallivan) because the County is Photo/Craig Bakay offering it to its member townships at no cost. North Frontenac and Frontenac Islands are also making use of the service. Smith said there is something of a deadline involved in that Central Frontenac’s contract with Tunnock

is up Dec. 13 of this year, at which time Gallivan will be the planner for the Township. “Is Joe Gallivan going to hear our comments in the same way after he is our planner?� Smith said. For example, Smith said, the County OP says that all developments near wetlands must go through the County. “We (in Central Frontenac) have more water than trees and land,� she said. “Everything we want to do will have to go through the County.� Mayor Janet Gutowski, who is also the current County Warden, defended Gallivan’s plan. “I think Lindsay Mills is a respected planner and his comments are appropriate,� Gutowski said. “But South Frontenac is the only municipality in the County that has a full-time planner and I’m sure they feel an ownership of their own OP. “I think they don’t want the County telling them what to do.� “Do we want that?� Smith shot back. “I don’t feel we’re going to get the County plan through the province without more detail,� Gutowski said. “If we don’t come to an agreement within good time, I think we could get an official plan mandated for us.� Coun. John Purdon noted Smith’s concerns but didn’t seem as worried about the ramifications of the plan. “There are points to be clarified, yes, but that’s why it’s called a draft,� he said.

New fire hall likely for Parham but it probably won’t be the school By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — In all likelihood, it will be two years before the recently-closed Hinchinbrooke Public School will be available for purchase, CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. “Hinchinbrooke is being used to store furniture for the time being while the Limestone District School Board goes through its disposal process,� he said. “They have a list of approved agencies and our municipal government is No. 8 on that list. “They’re looking to see if one of those agencies is prepared to pay fair market value.� Donaldson said that if no suitable buyer can be found, then it “essentially� goes to the highest bidder. “Based on my discussions (with the school board), we’re probably a couple of years from that point,� he said. “(And) I think it’s a pretty safe bet there won’t be any bidders from the list.� Mayor Janet Gutowski said she thought the land (where the school is) would be appropriate for a new fire hall but there were other factors involved. “We were looking at using the gym for fire trucks but after talking to (Chief Building Official) Jeremy (Neven) and (Fire Chief) Bill

(Young), we think that while it could be used for that, it wouldn’t be the best use. “Bill is happy with the existing location of the fire hall (adjacent to the Fair Grounds), and there is enough space there to build a new building.� Donaldson said the existing building needs to be replaced. “With the condition of the existing building, it’s a question of how much do you have to put into it to maintain it.� Donaldson said his direction to the Fire Chief was to look into building a new fire hall on the existing location, something similar to the recently-renovated facility in Mountain Grove. “We can deal with it as part of the 2014 budget — subject to funding — and a reasonable schedule is to start building in late 2014 or early 2015,� he said. Donaldson said that the school board indicated the playground equipment would be removed and installed on the new Granite Ridge Education Centre site. “The school board recognizes that the Hinchinbrooke community did fundraising for that equipment,� he said. “Things like the basketball hoops will remain, however.� He said the library would continue to operate out of the portable and the Township would remove snow from the entrance area but snow removal on the driveway entrance would have to be looked at.

In Our Opinion

Passing the Buck(s)

It’s a great time to be a fan of comic book heroes Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column – At the risk of being branded a nerd, geek or some other equally reprehensible moniker by those who consider themselves the guardians of western culture, there are three movies coming in the near future I personally am awaiting with baited breath. Here’s something curious. Of the top 10 grossing box office movies of this year, three are cartoons (Despicable Me, Monsters University, The Croods), three are sci-fi/fantasy (Oz The Great And Powerful, Star Trek Into Darkness, World War Z), two are comic books (Iron Man 3, Man of Steel), one is a car chaser (Fast and Furious 6) and one is a female cop/ buddy-flick (The Heat). There isn’t one straight drama in the bunch. You have to get to number 11 before The Great Gatsby shows up. There was a time when selfanointed culture cops would have

decried this statistic as proof that our society is degenerating into mindless escapism. Granted, Tony Stark is no Holden Caulfield but then Caulfield didn’t have an artificial intelligent butler or a metal suit that can fly and destroy tanks either. Be all that as it may, it certainly took Hollywood long enough to recognize that there are enough ‘fans’ out there who will go out and watch movies based on comic books as the No. 1 (IM3) and No. 3 (MOS) movies clearly indicate. All that being said, the upcoming movies are X-Men: Days of Future Past (scheduled for May 2014), The Guardians of the Galaxy (August 2014) and Avengers 2: Age of Ultron (May 2015). When I was a little kid, my mother quickly realized that one way to keep me quiet was to buy me a stack of comic books. For a dollar (10 or 12 cents each) or so, she could keep me entertained all afternoon and in all likelihood for several days to come as I’d read and re-read each one ad infinitum. (Mom would read them too but she didn’t like admitting it.) Anyways, I could never under-

stand why there weren’t any movies of these heroes. That all changed when Tim Burton did his take on Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson in 1989 and further solidified with Bryan Singer’s X-Men in 2000. The Guardians of the Galaxy is a relatively minor group in the grand Marvel scheme of things but it should serve as a nice transition between the two Avengers movies. And in my humble opinion, the first Avengers movie is the best comic book movie ever done (with the first X-Men and Batman The Dark Knight close seconds). What I’m particularly hoping is that the Avengers movies side of things will lead to an appearance of Black Bolt (probably my favourite all-time character). In the case of the X-Men, the Days of Future Past, which was a two-issue ‘what if’ in 1980, has the potential to eclipse them all. The reason for this is simple, it was, and still is, the best comic book story ever. Now, if somebody would just start making movies of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, we’d all be in comic geek heaven.

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, October 17, 2013

Gazette Editorial - The Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) released a report last month that ought to be considered standard reading before a weary country begins the long slog towards a 2015 election date. It unequivocally shows that in order for Conservatives to achieve their dream of a country running surplus by 2015, paying down the national debt 25 per cent by 2021, and off entirely by 2044, they will have downloaded hundreds of billions in healthcare and assorted social costs to the provinces - and they aren’t the least bit sorry. The problem, the PBO underlined, is that health and social costs do not march in lockstep with economic increases, as they are in the Conservative’s transfer scheme. In fact, with aging populations and the surging costs of new treatments, the opposite is true. For example, ballooning health care costs will leave the Province of Ontario with a debt to GDP ratio of 359.9 per cent by 2088 – debt levels that would make even the Greeks blush. That means that, in the absence of additional help from Ottawa, provinces will be left with the extremely difficult choice of either raising corporate, sales or excise taxes in order to fill the funding void, or seeking greater assistance from the private sector. It is easy to see how, in the not-too-distant future, Ontarians could be faced with a 10 to 15 per cent provincial sales tax, as well as the prospect of having to seek private healthcare insurance Therefore, we feel that it would be disingenuous for the Conservative Party of Canada to run on a platform of fiscal responsibility in 2015, because they have not made a compelling case for privatized healthcare or vastly increased taxation, even though their decision to tie provincial transfers to increases in the economy will have precisely one of those effects (and very likely both of them, at least to some degree). Make no mistake, the federal Conservatives are sure run their 2015 campaign based on their slaying of the dreaded deficit monster. We believe that Canadians deserve to know how this feat was accomplished, and we imagine many will not be pleased when they find out.Â

the script a few times and thought ‘oh yes, I remember that now’. It’s been a little less stressful this time and a little more enjoyable.” The production is also a very special homecoming for Malcolm from a more personal standpoint. Recently, he and his girlfriend, Rebecca, moved to El Castillo, Costa Rica to open their own restaurant, Tres Cabras, on the property of a bed and breakfast called Nepenthe. “I’d been living in Toronto for 10 years, so it was time for a change,” Malcolm says. “We went to Nepenthe and met the owners, Gordon and Nancy, and created a friendship. And we don’t like winter - I hate cold weather - so it was a pretty natural thing. This is something I’ve wanted to do for so long. I travel quite a bit and I’ve definitely always preferred the warm climates and a more slow-paced lifestyle than Toronto.” Malcolm came home to be a part of The Buddy Holly Story, and will be returning to El Castillo right after the show closes on Nov. 16. “This is a nice way to sort of say goodbye for a while, because this will definitely be the last time I’ll be performing in Kingston for at least a few years. So it’s a great privilege for me to sort of say goodbye to the Grand Theatre. It’s such a great venue and a fantastic opportunity to me.” He adds that the experience is made even more special by the fact that the show marks the 75th anniversary of the Kinsmen’s annual musical: “That is a huge, huge deal. I think everyone who came the last time will enjoy this time even more because

Gazette Lifestyle - Some New York City/Jersey musicians are joining forces with such Canadians as Paul Langlois, Peter Elkas and Greg Ball to help fight Parkinson’s Disease. “A fundraiser to fund Parkinson’s research was held in New Jersey in 1998,” said Gord Hunter, who, with Ginette Blais, is co-organizing the Kingston Light of Day event. “Light of Day officially started in 2000. Bruce (Springsteen) gave permission to use the name.” What began as a series of annual fundraising concerts in Asbury Park, New Jersey, has spread to 35 shows in 12 countries. The first concert back in 1998 was created as a 40th birthday bash for music veteran Bob Benjamin, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. After that bash, Benjamin reached out to friends in the music world and formed the Light of Day charitable organization. Bruce Springsteen performed at the first official show in 2000. The New Jersey show has expanded into a five-day festival in New Jersey/ New York. “He’s shown up at 9 of the 13 events in Asbury Park since then,” said Hunter.a Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. It affects almost two million people in North America. More than 50,000 cases are diagnosed each year on this continent alone. But the number may be an underestimate. Because Parkinson’s is not contagious, it does not have to be reported by physicians. At present, there is no cure for Parkinson’s. Treatment is focused on alleviating symptoms. There are four major symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: shaking or

pected and interesting perks. “At the 2012 show in Asbury, we were hanging out with some of the musicians who play with Bruce (Springsteen),” he said. “There was a phone call and we were asked if we wanted to be in Bruce’s new video...We ended up walking up the street behind Bruce.”

Later, they attended an after-party with Springsteen. “So, all this, and we’re raising money for Parkinson’s research,” said Hunter. He shakes his head as if he still can’t believe it. He explained that the money isn’t used just for research, but also for support of people living with Parkinson’s disease, their mobility and personal assistance. “Fifty per cent of the money from each event stays with the local Parkinson’s chapter.” The first Canadian show was held in Niagara Falls in 2007.

This is the inaugural Light of Day event for Kingston. Tickets are $30 for a night of great music. Headlining the Kingston show will be Willie Nile from New York City. “Willie is the guy that other musicians go to see,” said Hunter. Born into a large Irish Catholic family in Buffalo, following university graduation in 1971, Nile moved to Greenwich Village in New York City. He took up musical residence on the iconic Bleecker Street. One of the tracks on his newest CD, American Ride, is called Life on Bleecker Street. You’ll hear influences from the Boss (Springsteen) to the Ramones and early British punk and new wave. He also plays touching folkie and

piano tunes. He’s worked with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Who and Roger McGuinn (the Byrds). The New York Times calls Willy Nile “one of the best singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in a long time.” His fans include Lou Reed, Bono and Paul Simon. The BBC described Niles’ The Innocent Ones (2011) as “stunning...THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” Also on the Nov. 6 bill will be New Jersey country/folk musician John Eddie, rockers Joe D’Urso and Stone Caravan and the Canadian-based Peter Elkas Band. Greg Ball and Paul Langlois will bring local flavor to the night.

“The proceeds all go to charity,” said Hunter. “Every artist is performing for free. Our sponsorships have been amazing. As soon as I mentioned the show to Vinnie (Rebelo) of the Ambassador (Hotel and Conference Centre), he said, ‘Whatever you need.’ He’s providing all the rooms for the bands.” Time to Laugh Comedy Club is providing the space. The main need now is for shuttle service to take the musicians back and forth from the Ambassador. If you are able to help with that, contact Gord Hunter (gord@lightofdaycanada.com) or Ginette Blais (ginette@lightofdaycanada.com). “The great thing about Light of Day

Mark Bergin is that it’s volunteer-driven,” said Hunter. “The organizers all have normal day jobs. There’s no full-time staff. It’s all volunteers. I love that.” He said the show at Time to Laugh won’t have any down time between musicians. “After a band, an acoustic performer will take the stage,” said Hunter. “We were lucky to get Paul Langlois on board. He’ll be doing an acoustic set and it will be the day after the release of his new record.” You’ve got great music coming to town and it’s all for a great cause. Don’t miss out on this night.

The Chestmates will bring the Kingston flag with them to Sarasota to be part of a very special, emotional ceremony celebrating the hometowns of all the teams and the strength of their members. “The way they did it in Vancouver - and I’m sure they’re going to do something like this in Sarasota is they had a member of every team walk the city flag on the stage,� Emery says, tearing up. “And they announced their name and their age. There were a lot of young moms, and they walked on with their twoyear-olds and three-year-olds. You could just see [their strength and what they had been through], you could feel it.�

Gazette Events - A diagnosis of breast cancer is a devastating event for anyone, but the women on Breast Cancer Action Kingston’s (BCAK) Chestmates Dragonboat team are on a mission to prove that it doesn’t have to mean the end of hope, strength or even athleticism. The team, which is made up of women who have been diagnosed with and/or survived breast cancer, is planning on attending the 2014 International Dragon Boat Festival in Sarasota, Florida next year. There, they will join over 100 other survivor teams from around the world to share their common message of hope after diagnosis. “We’ve heard that there will be over 100 teams showing up,� says Chestmates member Sarah Emery. “The neat thing is, there are teams from [all over the world, including places like] Indonesia. In some of those countries, when you get a diagnosis of breast cancer you’re hidden away. And all of a sudden now these teams are competing, and they’re no longer shunned away with a diagnosis of breast cancer.� Continued on page 18 The “Pink Olympics�, as the International Dragon Boat Festival is commonly called, have taken place every four years since the first event was held in Vancouver in 1995. The Chestmates attended the last one, held in Peterborough in 2010, but this will be the first year they have travelled as a team to another country. Emery, who has been with the Chestmates since 2004, remarks that it’s a great way to celebrate and build upon the remarkable support system

This ad space was generously donated by: WHEN EVERY SECOND MATTERS, DOCTORS NEED THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB Hotel Dieu Hospital’s Urgent Care Centre plays an important role for many patients seeking time-sensitive medical care in a busy downtown setting. Working closely with the Emergency Department at Kingston General Hospital, the Urgent Care Centre’s role is to serve patients whose illness or injuries are not life-threatening but are serious enough to require prompt medical attention. From time-to-time, however, patients arrive at Urgent Care who may be sicker than they think. For the emergency medicine physicians who care for them, getting a treatment plan in place as quickly as possible is essential. Technology, such as portable ultrasound machines, can help save precious time. Dr. Louise Rang, the Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Director for the Department of Emergency Medicine explains that a portable ultrasound machine that can be wheeled to the bedside helps emergency physicians get important information fast. “We use it for patients that DUH SRWHQWLDOO\ WRR VLFN WR OHDYH WKH GHSDUWPHQW Âľ VKH VD\V ´,I \RX FDQ DQVZHU VSHFLĂ€F FOLQLFDO questions at the bedside, you’ve done that patient a favour. Because presumably when you get a diagnosis, you can get a management plan in place faster.â€? Shaving off half an hour, an hour or two hours in time, will usually translate into better patient outcomes. Two of the ultrasound machines are in use at KGH, where Dr. Rang says she will use it on 8- 10 people every shift. There is an older machine at Hotel Dieu that is in need of UHSODFHPHQW 7KDW¡V ZK\ KRVSLWDO RIĂ€FLDOV KDYH DVNHG WKDW SURFHHGV IURP WKH Ă€UVW HYHU VLJQDWXUH Leadership Breakfast held by the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation in support of Hotel Dieu will raise funds for a new portable ultrasound machine for Urgent Care.

While many patients with those types of illnesses will go to the Emergency Department at KGH, some are able to walk into the Urgent Care centre. When their care team can provide an ultrasound at the bedside, it means their treatment can be expedited. That may include being sent directly into emergency surgery at KGH, without having to stop in the Emergency Department. 'U 5DQJ VHHV WKH YDOXH RI SRUWDEOH XOWUDVRXQG WHFKQRORJ\ YLUWXDOO\ HYHU\ GD\ +HU Ă€UVW experiences with it came when she was a resident doing a rotation in a Baltimore trauma unit where there were a lot of stabbings. “Bedside ultrasound was relatively new then, and some attendings were comfortable with ultrasound while others weren’t.

If no ultrasound was used it often took much longer— perhaps an hour,â€? she says. “About half of the patients who had delayed care would die, whereas almost all of the ones that made it to the operating room within 15 minutes survived. That was pretty convincing.â€? Here in Kingston, ruptured aneurysms are among the most dramatic discoveries made through ultrasound. “A lot of those patients come in looking really sick, but you’re not sure what’s wrong. They may or may not be able to tell you their symptoms. Once you see that they have a large aneurysm on bedside ultrasound, you can call the surgical team and be up to the operating room very quickly.â€? 8OWUDVRXQG WHFKQRORJ\ LV DOVR YLWDOO\ LPSRUWDQW IRU SDWLHQWV ZKR IDFH VLJQLĂ€FDQW DQ[LHW\ ZKHQ something may be going wrong with an early pregnancy. “When you can tell a mom and her partner that the pregnancy is where it should be, that it’s not a tubal pregnancy, patients are very grateful,â€? she says. “Often seeing a heartbeat will bring tears to their eyes. And for those with a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, they can start on a management plan in an expeditious manner . We see a lot of moms like that.â€?

In order to raise money to make trip to Sarasota possible, the Chestmates are holding a furniture revival and art auction, taking place at the Harbour Restaurant Oct. 20 from noon – 4 p.m. The timing of the event is fitting, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “It’s getting people talking about this crazy disease,” Emery says, noting that statistically one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer, and that the disease doesn’t discriminate when it comes to age. “It’s getting people to think about it, and it’s also hopefully getting people to help us raise some funds so that we can take our team down there for

this international event.” The furniture revival and art auction will feature the work of over 70 local artists, who have revitalized or re-purposed donated furniture, or provided an original art piece for the fundraiser. “The artists have been working on some of these pieces for months,” says Emery, adding that the works started coming in last week and are all beautiful. “It’s amazing to see these artists in the Kingston community supporting us.” Tickets for the fundraiser are $25, and will include a pink champagne reception in celebration of breast cancer awareness month.

Paula Garofalo: Sweet Days By Kate Kristiansen

That day we had a steady stream of customers; we didn’t even stop for a break.” The early ‘can do’ tuition and love of baking spirited her on. The store is friendly and sweet just like its owner. Since she was a child, Paula has worked to master what she is now known for: her signature piecrust. Today, its what sets her apart from all others. It’s crust you could eat on its own - it’s that good. Sweet Days offers a range of pies, including coconut cream, lemon meringue, pecan, apple, peach, strawberry and chocolate. In addition, the bakery features a variety of cakes such as lemon lavender loaf, cheesecake, pastries and cookies, along with savory choices too. “Customers love the pies and butter tarts, and our date squares and cupcakes are proving to be favorites too. Everything is baked fresh daily. The chocolate pie is to die for, almost like eating a truffle. We ask for a $5 deposit for the pie plate to be returned the next day. ” The staff is a small crew, but they all share a love of baking. Paula and her team, Rebecca, Sarah, Carolyn and Mackenzie will greet you with a smile and serve up your favorites for your enjoyment. There are a few tables inside or on the

Gazette Lifestyle - Think baked goods oozing with butter. Located at 1792 Bath Road, across from Frontenac High School in Kingston, Sweet Days Bakery serves up homemade baking like Grandma used to make. Baking hours mean early starts. After a coffee to fuel up, Paula Garofalo, owner of Sweet Days, sits down with me at a cozy table next to the kitchen to share her love of baking. “It’s been a dream to have my own business,” said Paula. “I enjoyed my job but this new start is long overdue. It was time for something new and baking is something I have always had a love of.” Paula is naturally artistic, mixing things up with painting and other art forms. Cooking for her family is another creative outlet. The interest was sparked early on from her father’s gentle teasing. “When I was a young girl, I was always encouraged to have a can-do attitude,” said Paula. “Dad would tell me to go bake a pie like Grandma used to make. She passed away when I was young, the recipes didn’t come from her. I would just practice and try to make a pie that tasted as good.” Paula’s interest in cooking can also be traced back to her visits with her aunt in Timmins, Ontario. “They owned the Grandview Hotel. When I visited she would keep me busy in the kitchen,” said Paula. “I recall being as young as five. She would pull up a chair at a table and in a tiny spot in the kitchen. She would teach me how to bake. We would make apple strudel, among other things. I was creating edible food even as young as that.” Paula’s dream of pursuing her passion became a reality once she approached Chef Clark Day about the idea of baking for city Sweet Days owner and baker Paula restaurants. She was hopeful of one day Garofalo. starting a bakery. He introduced her to his son, Matt Day, owner of the successful Days on Front restaurant. The Day family knows good food. When they tasted the samples Paula created, Matt was excited about the idea of a bakery sooner rather than later, and agreed to partner with Paula on the business. Much to her joy the promise of “Sweet Days” ahead has arrived. It wasn’t easy 8Vgg^Zg d[ i]Z Bdci] opening the new business.

How to winterize your lawn Every weekend of the last few months you have spent mowing, weeding, edging, and trimming your lawn so that it will look its best. In order to ensure your lawn makes a complete recovery after winter hibernation, you may want to spend the fall taking steps to help your lawn survive the winter months ahead. Winterizing a lawn varies depending on where you live and how harsh a typical winter is. There are certain key tasks to complete before you can rest for the winter season. * Remove fallen leaves and debris. Leaf cleanup is among the tasks hom-

eowners dread the most. Raking leaves can be arduous, but it is well worth the effort. Fallen leaves can smother the grass and lead to dead spots and decay next season. Wait until the majority of the leaves have fallen from the trees before you begin to rake; otherwise, you could find yourself repeating the process throughout the fall. Mulched leaves can be added in small amounts to garden beds to provide rich organic material for next year’s crop of flowers. Be sure to pick up any twigs and other debris as well. Additional debris can become up trapped under snow

and hinder grass growth when spring arrives. * Cut your lawn short. Unless the season is unseasonably wet and warm, your lawn shouldn’t grow too much in October and November. Continue to cut your lawn until there is no visible growth for about two weeks. It pays to give it a short cut before frost arrives so that long piles of dead grass will not smother any new growth in the spring. Also, long grass tends to bend down upon itself, trapping moisture that can lead to fungal diseases like snow mold. * Aerate the lawn. Soil can be compacted over time, especially in yards that see heavy foot traffic. You can rent an aerator from a lawn supply store so that water and fertilizer can We Guarantee the following: reach the soil. • Custom 3D Designs with our B.C.I.N. * Fertilize.

sider a slow-release formula designed for winterizing that will feed the lawn all winter long. * Edge the garden beds. Take advantage of the cooler weather and slow-growing grass to re-edge around flower beds. Even though the grass above the surface of the soil will stop growing, the roots will remain viable and the lawn will still be sending out rhizomes and tillers to produce new grass blades in the spring. These can easily encroach on garden beds. Edge now so you will have less work to do in the spring. * Trim hedges and trees. If there are any overhanging tree branches or shrubbery blocking sunlight from reaching the lawn, cut back these areas once the foliage has thinned. Take advantage of your town’s leaf and twig pickup services. * Seed bare patches. Scour the lawn for bare patches and put

down some seed in these areas. The cooler weather will enable the seeds to germinate without having to compete with weed growth. Once you have prepared your lawn for the winter you can bring in any lawn tools that need repair and have them set and packed away for the spring.

How to save on home improvement projects

With the economy still struggling, money is tight for many homeowners. That reality can present a problem to those who want to improve their homes without spending too much money. The cost of a home improvement project depends on a host of factors, including the scale of the project and the availability of materials. Upscale projects like a full roof replacement will set homeowners back a substantial amount of money. In its 2011-2012 “Cost vs. Value Report,� Remodeling magazine revealed that the average cost of a such a project was nearly $38,000. However, a smaller project like a garage door replacement could be completed for fewer than $3,000. When deciding if a home improvement project is within your budget, it’s a good idea to consult such figures before choosing a project. For example, if your home is a fixer-upper, then one project may not be more urgent than another, something that may allow you to choose less expensive projects now while saving money for more expensive projects down the road. It’s also important for homeowners to know that figures such as those in the “Cost vs. Value Report� are just averages. Some projects might cost more than the average,

while others might come in well under budget. To ensure your project is one of the latter and not the former, consider the following ways to trim costs off your next home improvement project. * Avoid the DIY movement if you don’t have adequate experience. Many homeowners fall into the DIY trap, feeling they can pull off a project without hiring a professional contractor. While this is an option for those homeowners with home improvement experience, it’s an approach that’s best avoided by those without such experience. Homeowners who decide to go it alone on a home improvement project should know that mistakes are costly. One mistake could have you paying for the same materials twice: once when you begin the project, and then again when you need to hire a contractor after your efforts didn’t work out. A failed DIY project also costs you time, something homeowners hoping to sell their homes post-project cannot afford to waste. * Hire the right contractor. The best contractor for the job won’t necessarily be the one who comes in with the lowest estimate. The right contractor will know how long a project will take and what the materials will cost. The wrong contractor, who might lack the experience

of his competitors, might make empty promises that ultimately cost you more money via overrun costs. Find a contractor who comes highly recommended and is willing to provide references and show you his or her past projects like the one you’re hiring him or her undertake. If you hire the wrong contractor, the project may never be completed and you may find yourself in court, where the money you had budgeted for home improvements is being spent on lawyers instead. * Consider supplying your own materials. If you diligently research your project, you should be able to buy the materials yourself, even if you plan on hiring a contractor to do the work. Some contractors mark up the materials as a means of padding the bill. If you research the project and learn about the materials you want to use, you can save a substantial amount of money buying those materials yourself and then hiring a contractor. * Don’t overlook recycled materials. Buying recycled materials is another way to reduce home improvement costs. Bathroom fixtures, doors, flooring, and lighting are just a few of the materials that are commonly recycled and resold at a fraction of the cost of new materials. Shop around for stores in your area

or peruse the Internet for recycled materials. Homeowners undertaking a replacement project rather than a remodel might even be eligible for tax breaks if they donate their old materials. * Choose projects that provide more bang for your buck. Another way to save is to choose projects that provide a strong return on your investment. The “Cost vs. Value Report� compares the cost of popular remodeling projects with the value

those projects retain at resale. If money is a motivating factor behind your project, choose a project that will get you the most money back at resale. While the economy has not necessarily been kind to the home improvement industry, there are still plenty of homeowners looking to improve their homes. Savvy homeowners can do just that and save some money along the way by putting a few strategies to work for them.

How to increase storage in tight spaces Cozy, quaint homes attract many home buyers and renters. Be it a cottage-style house or a studio apartment, smaller living spaces often involve getting creative with storage. People live in a smaller homes for a variety of reasons. Some choose to live in a smaller home so they can be right in the thicks of things in a city or urban center. Others scale back on living space in an effort to save money. But storage space in small quarters is often at a premium, and thinking creatively is a necessity to keep the home tidy and items out of view. Rainy or chilly days are the perfect times to tackle indoor organization projects. When the outdoors isn’t beckoning, you can devote all of your attention to addressing storage issues in your home. To begin, take inventory of what you have, going through your possessions and determining what can stay and what can go. Part with anything you haven’t used in quite some time. The next step is to sort items and get organized. Then you can find a place for everything. For example, if you have a dozen bath towels but only one sauce pot, you will need to find more room for linens than kitchen cookware. You may need to borrow space from one area of the

home to give to another area. The following are some additional tips to increase space in an otherwise cramped home. * Add shelves. Increase cabinet and closet space by adding shelves into them. This may double or even triple the amount of usable space, especially if you customize the shelving to fit storage containers you use to store everything from shoes to craft items. * Opt for dual-purpose furniture. Benches with lids that lift up and sofas that convert into guest beds are just a few of the many ways you can keep a small home neat and increase storage space. An ottoman is a great place to store extra blankets and linens, while a trunk or crate with a sturdy top can be used in lieu of a traditional coffee table to keep books or board games. * Think vertically. When floor space is at a premium, you may need to look up for storage. Frequently used pots and pans can be hung from a decorative rack in your kitchen. Use magnets on jars to store a spice rack on the wall near the stove. Racks above cabinets or on doors can be used to store everything from shoes to jewelry to toiletries. Shelving in children’s rooms can store lesser used toys away from

the floor. Empty walls are valuable real estate in a small home, and tall bookshelves can house a number of different things. * Take advantage of oddly shaped crevices. If you have space under a staircase or a spot by a dormer or in an attic eave, use the space to store items. You may need to get creative, such as adding a door and small closet into the staircase, but such spaces make practical storage areas and add character to a home. * Use see-through storage containers. Many people find that plastic storage bins are neater and more stackable than boxes. See-through bins enable you to quickly find items so that you are not searching around the house for lost items and creating a bigger mess along the way. Clear storage containers work in the refrigerator, too. You can more easily spot leftovers, and uniform stacking containers free up more room for bulkier items. * Make use of space beneath your bed. There likely is ample room to store more things than just dust bunnies beneath your bed. A bed frame with built-in drawers is the perfect place to keep bed linens and out-of-season clothes. Beds can be raised on blocks to create more space underneath for storing rolling

plastic containers and even seldomused suitcases. * Opt for an armoire. Armoires are not exclusive to bedrooms. Armoires can be used in dining spaces or in dens to store items out of sight. An armoire can be used when retrofitted with a pull-out shelf as a laptop desk, storing all office items behind closed doors when not needed. * Improve storage in the bathroom. Try to choose a vanity that has under-the-sink storage so you

will have a place to store some toiletries. Home improvement centers sell cabinets and etageres that can be placed above the toilet tank as a storage space for bathroom items. In the shower, hang a second tension-loaded shower curtain rod on the inside of the shower enclosure that can be used to hold bags of kids bath toys and other toiletries, keeping them off the tub ledges. When you think creatively, you can maximize storage space even in a small home.

How to improve indoor air quality as winter approaches With fall soon to give way to winter, many people will soon be spending more time indoors. Winter weather can be harsh, and it can be difficult for fresh air to make its way into a home once the warmer temperatures of summer and fall give way to the cold days of winter. Poor indoor air quality can cause multiple problems. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, poor indoor air quality can increase a person’s risk of developing pneumonia, and it also may aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma. The EPA also notes that long-term exposure to indoor air pollution can increase a person’s risk for heart disease, respiratory diseases and even cancer. Because indoor air pollution can be so devastating, many homeowners look for ways to improve their indoor air quality, especially before the arrival of winter, when residents of the home figure to spend such a significant amount of time indoors. Fortunately, homeowners can take many steps to do just that. * Clean with soap and water. Soap and hot water can still clean a home effectively, and this age-old combination might be the healthiest way to clean as well. Many household cleaning products contain potentially harmful ingredients that can introduce toxins and irritants into a home. Avoid such cleaners and solvents when cleaning a home. If stains

prove too stubborn for soap and water, be sure to open windows when using potentially harmful cleaners indoors. * Purchase an air filtration system. Air filtration systems vary significantly in size, cost and function. Some systems are designed to remove specific pollutants, and may not be effective at removing additional indoor air pollutants. Larger models tend to be most effective at filtering pollutants like dust, but such units are more expensive than smaller units. If your home is especially dusty, then a large filtering system may prove a worthy investment. * Open windows and doors when possible. Introducing outdoor air into a home is a great way to improve indoor air quality. Of course, opening windows and doors might not be feasible in the middle of winter. But take advantage of any such opportunities when they present themselves. For example, after cooking a big meal, open the kitchen exhaust fan to allow fresh air into the home. Such fans are not large enough to cause a significant temperature drop in the home, but they can directly remove contaminants from inside the home, like those that might be emitted from gas stoves. * Insist guests and residents remove their shoes. Chemicals can find their way into a home in a variety of ways, and you and your fellow residents or guests may be tracking them into your home on your

shoes. Keep a doormat inside all entryways, and insist guests and residents remove their shoes before entering your home. This reduces the amount of potential pollutants brought into your home and also makes cleaning the home that much easier. * Break out the mop. Vacuum cleaners can be effective at picking up pollutants inside a home, but they also can leave things behind. When a vacuum cleaner seems to be leaving some dust behind, take out the mop and, with just a little water, address the areas where dust is still lingering. Water should be enough to do the trick, and, unlike some cleaning products, water won’t be introducing any additional harmful pollutants into the home. * Smoke outside. Smoking inside a home is inviting trouble, especially during those times of year when the windows cannot be opened. Secondhand smoke is a significant source of indoor air pollution, as cigarette smoke is known to contain more than 4,000 chemicals. Smoking indoors, whether an area is well- or poorlyventilated, can be dangerous to smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke puts adults and children alike at risk of several diseases, including asthma and cancer. If you or your fellow residents or visitors must smoke, do so outdoors.

The basics of kitchen cabinet refacing Homeowners who want to give their kitchens a brand-new look without the expense or the hassle of a full-scale renovation often gravitate toward kitchen cabinet refacing. Cabinet refacing is less expensive and more eco-friendly than a full replacement of existing cabinets, and experts estimate refacing costs roughly two-thirds less than a complete cabinet renovation. Refacing involves replacing the doors and drawer fronts of existing cabinets during which the cabinet boxes are veneered to match the wood color chosen for the refacing, while the structure and layout of the cabinets remains unchanged. Essentially the kitchen footprint will remain the same as it was before the refinishing took place. Kitchens are popular rooms in the home and much of the renovation investment made in the kitchen can be recuperated at resale. Homeowners looking to put their homes up for sale soon may find cabinet refacing is beneficial, as it is a relatively quick renovation that can reap big rewards. Homeowners have options when refacing their cabinets. While some projects, such as stripping off old

paint and repainting, can be a do-ityourself project, refacing cabinets may be best left to the professionals. Veneer work, which is often part of cabinet refacing, is not a skill one can learn overnight, and it often requires the hand of a professional carpenter. Many cabinets can be resurfaced successfully. Older cabinets are prime candidates, as they often are more sturdy than newer cabinets. In general, cabinets can be refaced as long as their substructures are sound. In addition to providing a new look for the kitchen, cabinet refacing is an eco-friendly project. By not demolishing existing cabinetry, homeowners are preventing old materials from ending up in landfills while saving trees from being cut down to construct new cabinets. Refacing also reduces the amount of chemical products used in the building of new cabinets, including stains, adhesives and chemically treated wood. Homeowners can choose among wood, veneer, metal, and even glass doors as replacements in the kitchen. Coupling cabinet refacing with replacement of old appliances can completely transform the appearance of the kitchen in relatively

little time. Many refacing projects go as follows. * Measurements are taken and technical drawings are made so that new cabinet materials can be manufacturered to the kitchen’s exact specifications. * Homeowners choose the type of finish they prefer for the new cabinetry. * Manufacturing takes place, and homeowners will schedule a time when the work will commence. * Existing doors and drawer fronts will be removed and recycled or disposed of. * If cabinet frames and boxes need to be repaired in any way, some refacing companies will take care of this. * Cabinet boxes and frames are covered in a matching veneer or

plastic laminate. * The new doors and drawer fronts are installed, as are new handles, pulls and moldings to complete the look. Many companies specialize in cabinet refacing. Homeowners should request estimates from potential candidates and review work-

manship prior to hiring a particular company. Cabinet refacing is often a fast, relatively inexpensive renovation project. It can improve the appearance and functionality of a kitchen in a small amount of time, while also improving the value of a home.

Financing a home improvement project After years of funny financing and few limitations on loans, banks and other lenders have tightened up their lending policies. As a result, homeowners considering a home improvement project might need to look elsewhere to secure financing. There are no certainties in the real estate markets. Though statistics suggest marked improvement in home sales over just a few months ago, many homeowners remain weary about selling their home to try to move up to something bigger and better. The National Association of Home Builders says many people are choosing to stay put in their homes and remodel or make renovations to transform the house into something more comfortable. While there are many worthwhile home renovation projects, the NAHB recommends projects that bring your home up to par with the neighbors’. It doesn’t pay to transform your home into the most expensive on the street -- unless you plan to live there for the rest of your life. Real estate experts recommend that a remodeling investment increases the value of your house by no more than 10 to 15 percent above the median sales price in your neighborhood. When it comes time to finance a remodel or renovation, you may not know where to start. Credit restrictions on home mortgages that have troubled many would-be buyers have also plagued individuals looking to finance home improve-

ments. However, homeowners hoping to finance a project do have options, and not all of them require stellar credit ratings. * Borrow against a retirement plan. Many retirement plans, such as a 401(k), allow plan members to take out a portion of the savings to put toward a home loan. This does not mean you are taking money out of the account permanently. Rather, you are borrowing against yourself, with repayment necessary in a certain timeframe. Because these loans often offer very low interest rates, and essentially the interest is being paid back to you, they might be a good option for men and women who cannot secure a traditional loan. However, if you have been laid off, there may be a shorter repayment period. Also, the interest on these loans is not tax-deductible. * Borrow against other investments. CDs, bonds or mutual funds can provide the collateral you need and earn you a lower interest rate. Fixed-income investments are more stable options to borrow against, as their value won’t have a chance to decline. * Apply for a home equity loan. Many people have heard of a home equity loan, and it is usually the first choice when

borrowing funds for renovations. Essentially a home equity loan is taking out a second mortgage on your home to pay for the work you want to have done, which

is based on the equity, or the difference between the home’s fair market value and the outstanding balance of all liens on the property. The interest on these loans is tax-

deductible, which can make this financing option quite popular. * Secure a home equity line of credit. A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is another type of home equity loan. Instead of receiving a lump sum to use toward renovations like you would with a traditional home equity loan, a HELOC is sort of a credit card type scenario based on the equity in your home. You are given a line of credit, against which you can buy items. This is good for intermittent needs, when one large sum is not needed. HELOCs have a draw period, during which the borrower can use the credit, and a repayment period, during which it must be repaid. HELOCs generally have lower mortgage fees at the start and are generally subject to the same tax incentives as regular home equity loans. * Consider refinancing. Interest rates on mortgages are at historic lows. You may qualify to do a cash-out refinance, where you borrow against the value of your home and create an entirely new mortgage at the lower rate. Although

you will start your mortgage all over from day 1 and have to pay closing fees, this type of refinancing can be more advantageous to homeowners with significant equity in their homes. * Apply for a government-sponsored loan. The government may offer programs aimed at helping individuals who are underwater on their home loans borrow money to make necessary improvements. While the funding cannot be used to purchase luxury items, such as a swimming pool, it can be used for necessities. Residents of the United States can explore FHA 203(k) refinance options and an FHA title 1 improvement loan. * Discuss financing with your contractor. Some contractors may offer financing. Keep in mind that the interest rates may be high, and it may be difficult to investigate the security of these types of loans. Many homeowners also look to credit cards to help finance some home renovation projects, but they should be used as a last resort. Credit cards typically come with high interest rates, and while they are good for some small projects, financing larger projects on a card may land you very deep in debt. Homeowners who choose to stay in their homes and make renovations have a host of options at their disposal to finance those projects.

Vinyl siding still a consumer favorite Vinyl siding is trusted by homeowners looking to add aesthetic appeal to their home’s exterior.

Though vinyl siding may seem to be a cut-and-dry type of product, the vast array of vinyl siding colors

and styles has created certain trends among consumers. Made chiefly from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, vinyl siding is the most commonly installed exterior cladding for residential construction in the United States and Canada, according to the Vinyl Siding Institute. The history of vinyl siding can be traced to Ohio, where it was introduced to the exterior cladding market in the late 1950s by a private company. The process of mixing colors was done by hand, and the product was very inconsistent. New innovations in siding manufacture during the next few decades helped solidify vinyl siding’s place among cladding materials like shake, wood and aluminum. Vinyl siding comes in several different types. Here are the key variations. * Seamless vinyl siding: In the past, siding was created in specific lengths, requiring siding panels to overlap at points, often creating an unpleasant pattern. These points provided spots for insects, wind and moisture to infiltrate, leading to a weaker product. Today there are vinyl siding products that have removed the seams, creating a more visually appealing and durable product. * Solid core vinyl siding: Even the bestmade vinyl siding had a flaw: it was not rigid and generally didn’t lie flat against the surface of a home. Solid core vinyl siding alleviates that problem by having a solid

backing on which the vinyl panels are attached. The core is then attached to the home. These products also boast a higher-than-average insulation rating because the foam core interlocks during insulation. This makes a solid barrier around the home. * Vinyl shake siding: Vinyl shake siding has been designed and colored to look just like real cedar shakes, but without the maintenance, such as powerwashing or staining, associated with a wood product. Vinyl shake siding offers the same benefits of other types of vinyl siding, but tends to look like it is an expensive cladding material. * Vinyl log siding: Log cabins may seem like an adventure. However, being surrounded by wood can have its disadvantages, most notably maintenance issues surrounding wood. Vinyl siding manufacturers have created vinyl log products molded directly from real lumber, providing a look that mimics real wood, like that used for a log cabin. As vinyl siding continues to be a favorite among homeowners, certain trends emerge each year. While rich-colored siding was a

popular trend just last year, homeowners engaging in siding renovation products are now turning more to warm, earthy colors. Expect to see more gold, clay, and warm red shades with trim colors only one or two shades off, for a monochromatic effect. Another trend involves a continued interest in renewable materials or siding comprised of some postrecycled consumer content. Energy conservation is also on the minds of consumers, and some areas of the country have modified building codes to require continuous insulation of home exteriors to prevent heat and cooling losses more effectively. As a result, more customers may opt for solid core vinyl siding to meet demands for home insulation. For homeowners who prefer a one-of-a-kind look to their homes, mix-and-match siding trends have developed. Mixing and matching siding styles can create instant curb appeal and an interesting backdrop for outdoor gardens and patios. Stone entryways mixed with vinyl siding as well as a mixing of traditional horizontal siding with vinyl shake or board-and-batten are also considerations.

Though this may seem like trying to find a needle in a haystack, the focus will pay off. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Someone puts all of their faith in you this week, Cancer. Don’t be nervous about living up to their expectations. Just operate the way you always do and things will work out. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, a number of things keep you occupied this week. The only difficulty will be narrowing down exactly what you want to do. Give this decision the attention it deserves.

Local woman to appear on Dragons’ Den to help pitch sweet treat By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Gazette News - Ninette’s Ice Cream, already famous throughout Montreal and Ottawa for its delicious, unique flavours, is becoming increasingly well-known here in the Limestone City despite not yet being available in stores.

“Every time I come back from Montreal I have at least 30 tubs in my cooler for [my coworkers and friends],” says Maria Constandinou, a local 9-11 dispatcher. “They don’t let me come home unless I have their orders of ice cream.” The ice cream, which comes in flavours like basil lemon, cinnamon apple pie, gingerbread crunch,

raspberry truffle and mocha almond fudge, was created by Maria’s mother, Ninette Constandinou, a stay-athome mom who loved making ice cream for her seven children as they were growing up. People liked it so much that last year Ninette and her husband, Nick, began producing the ice cream on a larger scale. Now, it is made in a factory in Ontario and distributed to stores in their hometown of Montreal, as well as Ottawa. All of the ingredients that go into the ice cream are local, coming from either Ontario or Quebec. On Oct. 30 at 8 p.m., the entire Constandinou family will appear on the popular CBC program Dragons’ Den in hopes of receiving an investment from one of the “dragons” to further expand their operation. “When my parents auditioned in the first place, the producer enforced that all the kids have to be there to pitch,

which is a little odd for us since we’re all adults, but they really wanted the story,” Maria Constandinou explains. Indeed, Ninette’s seven children do help out quite a bit with the business. “We help by bringing the freezers and giving out taste testers to people,” says Constandinou. “We wear the t-shirt and we say, ‘this is my mom’s ice cream’. Adding the personal touch also makes people think, ‘oh wow this is home grown, it’s pretty neat’. We’ve had a lot of success that way.” Constandinou fondly recalls watching her mom make ice cream when she was growing up. “When she made homemade ice cream, everybody would be really excited. I remember watching the ice cream machine turn and just waiting, saying ‘is it ready yet, is it ready yet’? She got extremely creative as time passed…she came up with all these flavours. I loved cinnamon apple pie, so did my brother John. She kind of made flavours for each of her kids, and we all have our favourites.” It was Nick’s idea to start selling the ice cream. “It’s incredible how much my dad has done,” Constandinou says. “He took the risk, and for my mom it was a really big risk because she’s very shy. Just a year and a half before she said ‘no way, I’m not going to Dragon’s Den’. It was a huge deal for my mom to be able to do that and to get the ice cream out there for people

to see.” While Constandinou is sworn to secrecy regarding details of how the episode will play out and whether the family will be successful in securing an investment from one of the wealthy dragons, she does hint that “every time people try the ice cream, they really love it.” And, of course, the five dragons were given samples as part of the pitch. Regardless of the outcome, Constandinou notes that just appearing on the program is a huge marketing boost for a business, and that already the very fact that the show will be airing nationwide has helped the family expand the market reach of their business. “It’s an incentive for stores to say ‘oh yeah, we know that there’s going to be a hype, let’s get your ice cream in our stores,’” she says. Lucky for residents of the Limestone City, freezers in certain local stores will soon be stocked with Ninette’s ice cream. This is bad news, however, for some of Constandinou’s local friends, many of whom aren’t too keen on letting the rest of the city in on their sweet secret. “Some of them don’t want anybody else to eat it because they want it all for themselves,” Constandinou laughs. For more information, visit www. ninettes.ca, or like the Facebook page Crème Glacée Ninettes Ice Cream. And don’t forget to tune into Dragons’ Den Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. to see how things turn out.

Handmade creations in support of society’s smallest citizens By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Gazette News - Seven years ago, Rebecca Evans lived through a parent’s worst nightmare when her tiny, two-hour old daughter, Makaila, passed away in her arms. “She only weighed one pound eight ounces and was maybe 10 inches long,” Evans says with a tear in her eye. “She was very tiny.” August, 2013 marked the seventh anniversary of Makaila’s passing, and Evans decided that she wanted to do something to give back to and comfort other parents who are going through a similar struggle. Teaming up with her mother, Theresa Hottot, a talented knitter and crocheter, Evans created a Facebook group called MNE Homemade Creations by Mother and Daughter, where community members can order custom, handmade hats, outfits and blankets. “MNE” are the initials of each of Evans’ three children, including 15-yearold Melissa and four-year-old Matthew, in addition to Makaila. Proceeds are donated to the Kingston General Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where newborns requiring extra medical help to survive are taken. On Oct. 15, which has been designated Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, Evans also brought a basket full of teddy bears and colourful knitted creations down to the NICU to help comfort the babies in the unit and their families. The package was inspired by a ted-

dy bear, dress and tiny knitted hat she was given at the hospital after having and losing Makaila. Today, Evans keeps the bear and hat in a frame in memory of her daughter. “It makes me feel good that I’m giving back,” she says, noting that she remembers all too well how painful it can be to watch your child suffer and fight for their life. “I know it’s hard to keep going every day, but you’ve just got to try.” Hottot, who has been knitting ever since she was five years old, says that she is very proud of her daughter for initiating the project. “This was her idea, and I said ‘well, I’ll help you’”, she says. “[Rebecca] will send me a picture and all I have to do is look at it and I can make it.” So far, Hottot has created everything from hats inspired by the Minions movie to a newborn Mickey Mouse suit to Thanksgiving-themed turkey hats and more. Since August, she already has made more than 200 hats. “It makes me very proud [to see a child wearing one of my hats],” Hottot remarks. Evans agrees that one of the best parts is seeing how happy the hats make the children: “I delivered two hats to a lady at Walmart. She took the hats right away, put them on her little girls and they walked out of the store wearing them, which I thought was really cute. It made them smile, and just seeing the expressions on the children’s faces makes me happy.”

And word of MNE Homemade Creations is spreading fast. “A lot of people are now aware of what I’m doing,” Evans says. “Lately I’ve had a lot of people contacting me back wanting more

hats, so we’re trying to keep up.” While the ideas behind most of the pieces come from Evans herself, who draws inspiration from creations she finds at craft shows and online, customers can also

send pictures of specific designs they would like Hottot to recreate. For more information, or to order a hat, visit the Facebook group MNE Homemade Creations by Mother and Daughter.

Our soups are made from scratch, using the best quality, fresh produce from our stores – even the chicken stock is made from scratch using our fresh Canadian chicken slowly simmered with farm fresh vegetables. Enjoy the delicious homemade flavour of our tasty Thai Sweet Potato Soup made in small batches with red curry, coconut milk, lime juice and fresh cilantro. It's naturally delicious.

ENCHANTÉ

Enchanting and fascinating people‌.and their world

Creative brilliance shines on the web Gazette Lifestyle - Karen Bonhomme had an idea. It grew. Now it’s a company called 1dea (one idea). A writer’s mantra is “show, don’t tell.â€? Or, to be clichĂŠ, actions speak louder than words. As we wander through our days, we are inundated with commercials in every form. They’re all over the Internet. Radio. TV. Billboards. Magazines. Newspapers. Most of them range from minor manipulations of the truth to outright distortions of reality. Even though they’re often visual, they’re all telling, not showing. It’s refreshing to come upon real quality. A local company, 1dea, showed me they’re great. They didn’t have to tell me. In fact, the only way I knew of them was through their quality work. I’ve noticed some of my favorite organizations’ websites have undergone a rapid improvement over the past year. For example, when the Arthur Child Heritage Museum of the 1000 Islands launched their new professional website (1000islandsheritagemuseum. com), I searched to find out who created this great site. Turns out it was 1dea. Yes, that’s a numeral one at the start of idea. One idea. The company was the brainchild of Karen Bonhomme, who now serves as creative director of the team. She started the business, originally called Bonhomme Design Studio, nine

years ago. “Karen has the background and experience that fared well in this area,� said Trevor Trewartha, the team strategist. “She holds her standards to high quality work. That helped grow her referral network. Things got bigger and bigger as more people discovered her work.� Karen started in print. She was known for branding and creating logos. Today, 1dea has expanded in staffing and skills. “We create brands, logos, books, websites and everything in between,� said Trewartha. They create a lot of company reports, manuals, large publication reports. They also specialize in web design. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, which represents about 42,000 doctors in the country, uses 1dea for their work, including publications, reports and employment studies. For such organizations, everything they create in English must also have a French version. “Branding dictates everything else,� said Trewartha. “Your identity dictates everything you do. Your brand represents the vibe and personality of an organization. There are plenty of ideas out there. You can turn them upside down and inside out but, in the end, it’s

It’s about how people perceive your company.� “You website is a touch point,� said Trewartha. “It’s how people come into contact with your company.� We’re talking about facts, not beliefs. This crew does a great deal of research on branding and web design. They discovered that it’s not just the young who turn on their computers for information. “Even for the demographic of those in active retirement, their kids have left home, at least 75 per cent first go online to make travel decisions,� said Trewartha. “So the first touch point is your website. Google is the new Yellow Pages. If Google doesn’t know you exit, you don’t exist. Your website is your bio, your service offering.� “It’s your value statement,� added Bonhomme. Karen and Trevor are married. They met at college in southern Ontario. Karen trained in graphic design and advertising. After graduation, she paid her dues and honed her professional skills. Trevor trained in business management. He started his career with a daily newspaper, the Guelph Mercury.

Creative brilliance shines on the web

Continued from page 37

In January this year, they added Barry Doyon, a senior graphic designer who graduated from St. Lawrence College 12 years ago, to the team. “Barry is a seasoned web designer,� said Trewartha. “He has thousands of websites under his belt. When he became available on a full-time basis, he was a great addition.� Melissa Leggett, a freelance graphic designer, is the newest addition. She came on board in June. Melissa graduated from the print journalism program of Durham Col-

lege in 2002 and has worked extensively in the magazine industry. “We’re a senior-skills-based team,� said Bonhomme. “That’s intentional. We want every team member to carry a significant role and work collaboratively.� They located in Kingston because of the vibe in the town. They had no ties to any particular city. Karen grew up in Port Elgin in southwestern Ontario and Trevor hails from Clinton. “We looked at a lot of nice places,� said Trevor. “None compared to Kingston. This city is rooted deeply in history and has great architecture.� “The city’s beautiful,� said Kar-

en. “The water and waterfront are amazing. One of the things we get that most parents don’t is that my mother takes the kids one night a week. My parents moved to the area when they retired. We get the type of sanity a husband and wife need and we enjoy the culture of the city. We almost always go downtown. We see thousands of people. They’re at movies in the square. The patios are full. There are bands in the park. Where else can you get that kind of experience? This city has a vibrant life.� They bring their love for Kingston into their work. “We’re a young company,� said

Bonhomme. “We care about our community. Integrity and building a reputation matter. We care about the work we do. It’s never about the size of the job. I don’t care if it’s a huge brand or a small local company we’re working with. Whatever we’re presented with, we find a solution. It’s our passion to create something that matters and makes a difference, not just something pretty. We’ll uphold our fundamental values so that 20 years from now we’ll still be a business that helps the community and eastern Ontario as a whole. Through marketing, design and implementation strategies, our community can be more prosperous.�

She noted that she believes you should treat other people as you want to be treated. That attitude is obvious in 1dea’s work and client testimonials. From the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington to Canada’s Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, clients rave about this Kingston company. Like all companies, it’s comprised of people with ideas. In the case of 1dea, that’s four people with ideas that count and people who care.
