SFCSC hopes to continue ‘enhancing’ the community with launch of 2015 fundraising campaign By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Last year, Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation (SFCSC) launched their first ever Enhancement Campaign; after cuts in government funding, the organization asked community members to donate and help them continue to run their services and the community came through. The goal was $50,000, and they surpassed that, raising just over $57,000 “Last year was a big success [and] enabled us to maintain a lot of services and start new ones,” explained David Townsend, executive director for SFCSC. “We receive no increase in government funding year to year and yet we are still serving the community with no wait lists. That is because of community support and this campaign.” In hopes of repeating their success, the SFCSC 2015 Enhancement Campaign kicked off on March 6 with a breakfast at the Grace Centre. Former MPP John Gerretsen gave a keynote address and many of the previous board members for the campaign returned to lend their support, including campaign chair Mark Events – Loughborough Public School students (l-r) Aiden Asselstine, Hannah Stonness, Cameron Hasler Segsworth. and Erin Green put some finishing touches on their robot for the elementary Lego robotics competition, at “I decided to chair again because the 11th annual Limestone Skills Competition at St. Lawrence College. Photo/Rob Mooy the organization plays such a vital
11th annual Limestone Skills Competition
role in the community and provides excellent support,” said Segsworth. “I believe in trying to put more into the community than you take out and this is an excellent opportunity to do so.” The breakfast also welcomed many community members and organizations that supported the campaign last year. Townsend was happy to see them lending their support once again. “We are already at about the $20,000 mark of our goal of $50,000 and we saw generous contributions from the Township of South Frontenac again. The Sydenham Legion has given us $3,000 for the hot meals program directly and several other donors have come forward too, including the Sydenham and Verona Lions clubs. The community is really rallying around this.” The hot Meals on Wheels program is a new addition for SFCSC and launched on March 31. They ran a trial of the program in September and October of last year and saw that there was a need in the community to provide hot meals for seniors. Their goal was to serve 20 clients initially, but at launch the program already had 51 clients. Continued on page 3

SFCSC hopes to continue ‘enhancing’ the community with launch of 2015 fundraising campaign Continued from page 1
“It is a little overwhelming, but we are happy to see the response,” said Townsend. “We are using April as kind of a trial for the program and then we hope to expand further and offer meals twice a week going forward. The money from this year’s campaign will certainly help with that.” Funds from the Enhancement Campaign also allow SFCSC to employ enough staff for their adult day programs and also help with transportation costs. The organization provides approximately 6,000 rides for seniors a year for things like medical appointments. Funds also help expand homelessness programs and run the local food bank. “The fundraising is so important because all of the money that comes in goes to direct programs and services in our community,” said Townsend. “It’s really a matter of strengthening our own community with support from our own community. We can’t rely on governments to do it anymore so we need to do it ourselves.” SFCSC hopes to reach their $50,000 goal by May 31, 2015.

South Frontenac wraps up town hall meetings on strategic plans By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — South Frontenac Township officials wrapped up a series of four town hall meetings to discuss the township’s strategic plan last week in Sunbury with the best turnout yet. About 25 people joined in the discussion of where the Township should be headed and how it should get there in a cooperative if at times spirited manner. “This was the shortest but also the most focused session of the four,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “The people that came out seemed quite appreciative of the opportunity to have their views heard.” There were about 11 people for a similar meeting in Bedford District, six in Portland and 14 in Bedford, said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. “All responses from the four sessions will be recorded and posted on the website,” Orr said. “And they will be forwarded to all Council members for their consideration and to be discussed at the April 13 committee of the whole meeting (which will also be in Sunbury).” The last time South Frontenac looked at its strategic plan was in 2011 and it was adopted in October. That document included a Mission Statement, a Vision Statement and a

Both sides will be heard.” While planning and the environmental impacts of development dominated much of the meetings, there were some other topics on people’s minds. “We’ve had the discussion about finding another police force other than the OPP because of the cost,” said Vandewal. “It’s more about From left, CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr, Mayor Ron Vandewal, Coun.

Frontenac Fury finish season on a high-note By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Sports – As hockey season winds down, some teams have a lot to celebrate, and the teams from the Frontenac Fury Girls Hockey Association are definitely among them. On March 28 and 29, the four teams in the association competed in a tournament in Kanata and all of them had something to brag about by the end. “Our atom team did well, our pee wee team made it to the semi-finals before losing in a shootout, our Bantam team won silver and then our midget team won gold,� explained Lynn Newton, Frontenac Fury Girls Hockey Association president and coach of the pee wee and midget teams. “The tournament was huge with over 200 teams competing so it was quite the accomplishment.� The Frontenac Fury Girls Hockey Association has been part of the Frontenac community for many years, but this year
they made a few changes to the club that yielded very positive results. “We enter a few tournaments a year and this year we did it a bit differently - we entered tournaments as an association, meaning that all of the teams enter the same tournament,� said Newton. “I think that this approach makes it feel more like a community and family environment and it makes them all more supportive of each other.� While one team plays in the tournament the other three are there cheering them on, creating a much larger support base, explained Newton. The teams also coordinated this year with matching apparel, another first for the association. “Instead of having sponsorship on the jerseys themselves, all of the players received a Frontenac Fury hoodie with all of the sponsors on the back,� said Newton. “They were coordinated and that unified them and it also gave some profile to the association because people from other cities were asking about their
gear and where Frontenac is.� Newton has been coaching with the association for the past five years and has been president for the past three. In that time she has seen a lot of positive changes in the league and she is happy to be part of a positive, encouraging and community driven association. “It is a positive environment where we want them to have player development and we really emphasize teamwork and support,� said Newton. “I think it is really important to emphasize these skills now so they see that this is how you should interact and behave as you grow up and go through high school and even
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC
when you get a job or go to university.� The association has seen great success this year and in the past few years; because of that, they are adding three new teams next year including a novice level, a senior women’s house league and a senior women’s competitive team. Newton hopes that the expansion furthers the

Sharbot Lake Dollar Store about to change hands after 21 years in business News — Twenty-one years ago, Cindy Mika was on a shopping trip to Kingston with her mother. She happened to mention that she’d like to open a business in the hamlet (she grew up above the hardware store her parents opened where Home Hardware is today) but was uncertain as to what type of business she wanted. “Mom asked what our first stop in Kingston was and I answered ‘the dollar store for sure,” Mika said. “I looked at her and said that is what I want to open in Sharbot Lake.” The rest, as they say, is history. That first year, the store was about a third of the size it is today. “The next year, I made it bigger and the year after that bigger again,” she said. “It kept growing. “The year after that, we built on the storage room and loading dock.” The simple concept — things for a dollar — has held up well over the years, albeit inflation has made that an impossibility in today’s market. But she still has a considerable number of items for $1. “Sometimes, it’s been tough to keep things at that price and sometimes we only made a nickel on each one,” she said. “But I had to keep my prices low for all the people in
this area. “I hated going to higher prices.” But, as any business will, that led to stress and so when friend Holly Davis called to ask if she would consider selling, it gave Mika pause to think. “I started to think that maybe it was time for a new beginning,” she said. “But I just couldn’t sit at home
so I said the only way I’d consider it was if they’d give me a part-time job. “I love the people and they’ve become family to me.” The store closed its doors last Saturday and will re-open sometime in May after renovations as The Amazing Dollar Store. Mika had mixed feelings about

‘Community’ a big part of Sharbot Lake Lions Saturday breakfasts By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — On a near-monthly basis since last September, the Sharbot Lake Lions have been holding ‘community’ breakfast fundraisers on the last Saturday of the month. They only missed October (everybody getting ready for deer season) and December (Christmas). Last Saturday, it was the Central Frontenac Swim Program who benefitted but previous beneficiaries have been the Salvation Army Christmas basket campaign, the vision/hearing screening program in schools and the North Frontenac Food Bank. For $7, you get a plate of pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs and ‘trainwrecker’ beans, all you can eat, along with toast, juice and tea or coffee. Darlene and George Conboy have donated half the
syrup used. The monthly get-togethers have proved quite popular. “Last month, we had 108 people,� said breakfast chair/past president Linda Zwier. “Today, we’ve already had 103 and there’s still an hour and a half to go. “And that last hour tends to be busy because we get the sleeper-inners.� Zwier said the breakfasts are one of the club’s top fundraisers and feels giving good value draws people in. “It makes us feel good because you’re giving people something for their money,� Zwier said. “And it’s something people seem to enjoy.� But there’s also another aspect to the ‘community’ breakfasts — a very social aspect. “Oh, my goodness yes,� Zwier said. “People seem to come on a regular basis and even get to expect it.
“Sometimes people haven’t seen each other all winter and it’s a good chance to connect and often people will go and get another pancake or coffee to join new people coming in.� Although, she said the social aspect is something they try to promote, they weren’t really prepared for how popular it would be in the beginning. “At one point, we didn’t have nearly enough tables so we had to send Dave (Hansen) into the kitchen to get the guys with the muscles to set up more tables,� she said. “Oh yes, there’s a social aspect,� said Hansen. “That’s why they keep me in the kitchen.� “We get everybody from toddlers to I-wouldn’t-want-to-guess-how-old,�Zwier said. “Even people as old as Dave.� This was the last community breakfast until July, Zwier said. However, on May 16,

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
Toronto Star axes its paywall and this is a good thing for readers (like me) was with the revenue generated by the paywall subscription model. This makes sense from a historical perspective as every kid who’s taken a newspaper economics course knows. The old standard was the 80-20 model, that is 80 per cent of revenue from advertising and 20 per cent from subscription. Now of course with the advent of the internet and the myriad of advertising options it presented, advertising revenue (both display and classified) for traditional print outlets declined. Actually, it declined big time in recent years to the point where it seemed there were more journalists looking for work than actively employed in the craft because of layoffs and buyouts. I can remember a time when advocates of newspaper unions and guilds gleefully touted how much better compensated their members were than those without collective contracts but things change, don’t they. At any rate, as the newspaper money people were busy reinventing the wheel, many operations were hemorrhaging cash and the perceived savior, ie the paywall, seemed poised to put newsgathering operations back in the black.

Kudos to the Toronto Star for 86ing its online paywall last week. For those of you not familiar with the way the larger newspaper operations do things, a paywall is a chunk of software that requires the reader to have a subscription (either to just the online version or home delivery which includes the online version) in order to access more than 10 stories a month. The Star adopted a paywall system midway through 2013. The Globe and Mail and The National Post were already experimenting with paywall formats at the time and The Post went fully behind a paywall last year. It seems that the money folks at The Star started crunching numbers and came to the conclusion that they’d be better off pursuing online advertising revenue (which is greatly influenced by traffic, ie the number of people who click on the site and actually read the stories) than it

Didn’t quite work out that way. What these geniuses failed to realize is that internet people, particularly the younger set, don’t like to pay for anything. Movies, music, software, porn, you name it, as soon as the people that make it want to start charging for it, some (usually young) hacker will come up with a way to distribute it for free. May as well recognize the facts and find a way to work with them. In the case of newspapers however, this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. As the baby boomers age, money seems to be getting tighter and tighter for all of us and when we have to tighten the belt, a newspaper subscription can seem like a luxury if it comes at the expense of Hamburger Helper. But, we do seem to like our newspaper with our morning coffee and most of us have become quite comfortable reading it on a computer screen. If we have to be bombarded by ads, so be it. We’re the generation that grew up on commercialladen TV and it seems natural. But more than that, once again we can be informed and entertained every morning without worrying that we’ll have to go without dinner that night.
A lesson in cycling safety
Editorial – Now that spring has officially arrived it may be time to dust off your bike and take it for an inaugural spin, but before you do maybe a refresher on the rules of the road are in order. Every year there seems to be a battle between cyclists and motorists and while inevitably both always feel like they are right, we think it is best to look to the actual cycling laws to figure it out. According to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, here are the basics: • Cyclists are required to ride as close as practicable to the right curb of the roadway except when they are travelling at the normal speed of traffic, are avoiding hazardous conditions, the roadway is too narrow or when they are turning, passing another vehicle or using a one-way street. • Cyclists have to stop for red lights and stop signs and comply with all other signs, yield or stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and walk their bike when crossing at a crosswalk • Cyclist must also look behind them and signal for a turn using their right arm for a right turn and left arm for a left turn • A bike is required to have at least one brake system on the rear wheel, a white front light and a red rear light or reflector if you ride between 1/2 hour before sunset and 1/2 hour after sunrise and a bell or horn in good working order. • Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet • Failure to comply with these cycling rules can result in $85 fines for non-compliance, except for: not having a proper lights ($20); not wearing a helmet if under 16 ($60); and not stopping for school buses when the upper alternating red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out ($400). All of these rules seem like common knowledge, but year after year there are numerous accidents involving cyclists and motorists. It is important for both parties to be aware of these rules and to abide by them. We all need to remember that the road is a shared space and we need to be aware of that, even if it is difficult at times.

Kingston MMA fighter goes pro By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Sports – In Grade 6, Thomas Gobin knew that he wanted to be a fighter; he watched a friend com-
pete in the junior Olympics and earn a black belt in tae kwon doe and he wanted to achieve those things too. Now, a short six years later, the 18 year-old mixed martial arts fighter is going pro and is ex-
cited for the new challenges that go along with that. “I am currently undefeated as an amateur fighter at 3-0 so the next step up is pro,” explained Gobin at Patenaude Martial Arts Studio, where he trains multiple times a week. “I’m a little nervous that I could face more injuries, but I am definitely up for the challenge.” Gobin and his coach, Dan Levac, have been training together since Gobin was 15. Gobin started by training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu before making the switch to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He loves the sport and especially the challenges it presents. “My favorite part is obviously winning, but I also really enjoy the payoff after working so hard for something,” said Gobin. “You put in all this time and effort to get to a certain point and when you get
the outcome that you want it is the greatest feeling ever. It is my favorite feeling.” The switch from amateur to pro means that Gobin will be fighting with no protection, a big switch from the headgear, shin pads, cup and gloves he’s used to at the amateur level. “Pro level fighting is more like street fighting and is more aggressive,” he explained. “Plus I get paid to compete now, so that’s a plus.” The switch also means a bit of a change for Levac, who has never coached a fighter for a pro match before. He will be working with Gobin and higher-level coaches to ensure that he is ready. “I have coached at the amateur level for a few years now and I’ve coached about 35 matches, but this will be my first pro match,” said Levac. “It is the same level as the
UFC and for someone to be at that level at the age of 18 is very rare. I’m not worried, I see a lot more wins in his future, and I think he has great potential.” Gobin’s first pro match will take place on May 2, giving him just over a month to prepare. “With the step up to pro I am training a lot more. I train in Kingston on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and then I train in Gatineau with other professional fighters on Mondays and Wednesdays. It’s a lot of work, but it will be worth it.” Gobin is also a huge advocate for the sport and he encourages others to get involved if they can, or at least to try it once. “It’s a great way to learn discipline and see rewards for your hard work,” he said. “I think it is a really great activity and more people should try it out.”

News – Fangirls and fanboys rejoice – Herofest is making its debut in Kingston. It’s not often that fans get to rub elbows with stars from Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek and a couple of original Power Rangers, but that’s exactly what will happen during this inaugural show, on Saturday and Sunday, April 11-12, at the Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront Hotel. “Herofest truly is Kingston’s ultimate fan experience – it’s a celebration of all things sci-fi, horror, anime, TV, wrestling and more,” explains Anthony Mann, a local film-maker and actor, and the show’s promotions and public relations director. “Fans will be able to meet some of their favourite stars, take pictures and get autographs, participate in panels and pick up some unique items in the vendor room. It’s going to be a jam-packed weekend unlike anything the city has ever seen.” “Imagine the Fan Expo or Comic Con (two major shows held annually in Toronto) experience right here in our own backyard. I can’t believe it’s taken this long to bring a show here.” But, Mann’s dream of bringing a multi-
genre ComiCon type event to Kingston has become a reality. “I’ve appeared as a guest at several Pop Culture Canada (the company running the show) cons over the past couple of years, and I like the feel of what they do,” says Mann. “When the idea of a Kingston event was first suggested, I recognized it was a wonderful opportunity to bring something really special here and was pleased to help spread the word. They’ve sweetened the deal by bringing in former Dr. Who star Colin Baker, who will be filming some material for my upcoming Christmas Carol adaptation.” Pop Culture Canada is headed by an Oshawa-based promoter by the name of Dave Wyldstar. “Dave’s a great guy – a fellow geek like the rest of us who has worked in the convention industry for decades. He loves all things pop culture and that sense of fun really translates positively into his events.” These festivals have been extremely popular in larger cities over the past years, but recently they have been springing up at smaller centres, like Kingston. Are geeks and nerds finally coming into their own? During the pre-internet days, fanboys and fangirls existed in very small pockets and would gather in dark dank corners to
celebrate their love of Dr Who, horror, Star Trek, Star Wars and more. “Now we are all united, and fan-
Local film-maker and actor, Anthony D.P. Mann looks at some classic horror film figures of Godzilla, the Wolfman and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. He is looking forward to meeting fans during Herofest, April 11-12, at the Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront Hotel. Photo/Rob Mooy dom has become something very mainstream,” explains Mann. “Just look at

the success of Big Bang Theory to see how mainstream this culture is now. Sure we’ve come into our own – everybody loves something (yes, even the Corries – Coronation Street fans are very much fanboys/girls too) and merchandise sales for just about every genre imaginable are booming everywhere. In fact, it’s the best time to be a geek.” Today, things that used to be dubbed “geeky” are now simply part of the norm. Herofest is a celebration where fans can meet their favourite actors and artists, “cosplayers” can dress up in their favourite costumes without getting weird looks from passersby, and everyone can let their inner-nerd shine. Nerd culture has finally become mainstream. Months and months of planning go into an event of this size and scale. “As you can imagine, it’s a huge event to coordinate, and the response has been incredible,” explains Mann. “Stars are flying in from all over the world, and fans will be visiting from far outside the Kingston region. The coordination that goes into organizing a convention on this scale takes many months of planning, and a lot of money. Wyldstar’s really going all out for our city.”

It all comes down to the rooster, the stars and vendors show organizers bring in, and this show is no exception. Fans can look forward to meeting, getting autographs and having their photos taken with stars including, Colin Baker, a childhood hero of Mann’s who was the sixth actor to play Dr. Who; Denise Crosby, who has appeared on Star Trek: TNG and more recently on The Walking Dead; Daniel Logan, who played Bobba Fett in the second Star Wars trilogy; Neil Affleck and Lori Hallier, stars of Canada’s cult slasher classic My Bloody Valentine, (Affleck is also a successful animator who has worked on The Simpsons and Family Guy);Tara Spencer Nairn from Corner Gas; Pat Martionni from Degrassi; even a couple of the original Power Ranger. “And, some ham named Anthony D.P. Mann who is a film-maker and actor recognized for his work in indie genre cinema,” adds Mann, whose recent dark film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera received rave reviews. His version takes place in the fictional New England town of Garnier, but was filmed right here in Kingston at Queen’s Convocation Hall using local actors. Filming is currently underway on his next project, an adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Herofest appeals to people from all backgrounds and of all ages, a real family event. “There’s such a plethora of different genres (horror, sci-fi, wrestling, anime, etc) that there truly is something for everyone,” adds Mann. “A trend I’ve noticed at other events is parents bringing their children, celebrating things that they all love individually. It’s a very sweet concept, this crossgenerational gathering.” Even visitors are encouraged to dress in their favourite super hero costumes. “That’s part of the convention experience, getting our geek on and dressingup as our favourite heroes, or villains. I can’t wait to see what crazy costumes are going to show up on Herofest weekend,” says Mann. But note – if you are planning on dressing up, make sure to check out the rules and regulations on the Herofest website first. Admission for Saturday is $30 and Sunday is $25, half price for children 7-13, under 6 free. For additional information, a complete list of guests and activities visit www.herofest.ca. Come on Kingston - it’s time to get your geek on!

DAYTRIPPER
Eating healthy: it’s all about local By Mark Bergin Columnist
Daytripper – If you love your community, eat local food. That’s the message from Jamie Hodges and Amber Thom; they practise what they preach. The couple operates Epicurious Catering, and they hope to soon open the Juniper Cafe in the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. Hodges, a native New Zealander, graduated from City and Guild’s London Diploma of Culinary Arts in 2001. By 2004 he was working at Whistler in British Columbia, followed by Cibo Trattoria in Vancouver. The eatery won En Route Magazine’s 2009 award as Best New Restaurant in Canada. Amber Thom grew up in Kingston and completed her Bachelor of Commerce degree in Hotel and Food Administration, graduating from the University of Guelph in 2002. After completing her degree, she managed the Slip Lounge at the Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront until 2004, when she moved to Vancouver. There, she managed the Saltlik Steakhouse as well as the Uva Wine Bar. Uva was named Best Bar/Lounge in Vancouver in 2010 by Vancouver Magazine. She also started Epicurious Catering while in Vancouver. Thom and Hodges met while working on the west coast. They enjoyed five successful years with Epicurious in British Columbia. Then along came a little girl. “We moved to Kingston after the birth of our daughter because we felt pushed out by Vancouver’s prices,” said Thom. “It also brought us closer to family.” After arriving in Kingston in 2011, Jamie Hodges was the chef who opened The Red House. Why set out on their own with a catering business? “I feel like we are misfits,” says Thom. “I’m not sure we fit anywhere, but we’ve found that we do this [restaurants/ catering] really well.” Hodges laughs: “All we want to do is eat and drink coffee so to fund that addiction we opened this. And we make some really good coffee.”
“We wanted to push the envelope,” says Thom. “We were really passionate about coming here. Kingston is exciting. There is more access to local food here than we ever had in Vancouver.” Hodges explains that “local” food in Vancouver came from four hours away. “Here, we can see the farms,” he says as he points toward Wolfe Island from where he’s standing in the Isabel Bader Center for Performing Arts. “What’s available here is so fresh.” The couple is just waiting for Kingston City Council approval for their new cafe in the Tett Centre. “We’ll be using Limestone Organic Creamery exclusively for our coffee

program,” says Hodges. “We want to support the local economy. You can source everything locally, from buying meat from the butcher to using a local web designer. It’s all available here.” As they already operate Epicurious Catering, they’ve got the local contacts for ingredients they’ll use at The Juniper Cafe. The couple describes the relaxed
setting they want to host in the Tett. “We wanted to see what the students “We are always at least 70% locally“There’s grass outside the patio,” want and what the arts residents of the sourced,” says Thom. “And we make says Hodges. “I love the space.

Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the farm was obvious for Mary Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C;The snow was gone from our long lane, and it had settled into deep ruts of mud which wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely dry up into the early summer.  Thick bush on either side of the lane stopped the sun, and it was one of the last places on the farm to give up the snows of winter. Walking home from the Northcote School that time of year, we had to walk down the centre of the lane to miss the mud in the deep ruts. That day I could smell a difference in the air.  Mud had a special smell to me...one I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly fond of.  But I knew it was also the smell
his â&#x20AC;&#x153;between winter and summerâ&#x20AC;? hat.  It was more of a cap, with lugs that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother to tuck up, but just let them dangle around his ears like flapping wings. Father waved at me and I waved back and when I got within a few yards from him he told me to leave my school bag near the gate, he had something to show me in the barn.  Goose eggs, maybe?  Or a new litter of kittens that appeared as regular as clockwork.  But no, Father wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be excited enough about either to meet me at the gate. He took me by the hand, as if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where the barn was.  I felt the warmth and the roughness of a hand that had only known hard work and long hours, but I felt a comfort too. He took me to the farthest end of the barn, past the stalls of where the cows were kept, and into the darkest crevices of the barn at the very south end, never letting go of my hand.
I could smell the fresh hay that had been mounded in the corner, thrown down from the hayloft above.  Father said nothing, just leaned over the low stall boards, and let me adjust my eyes to the darkness, and then I saw what Father had taken me into the barn for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you look at that,â&#x20AC;? he said so softly I could barely make out what he was saying, and I could hear a wonder in his voice.  And there in the corner of that small stall was one of our ewes, and beside her two newly born lambs, their wool still damp from their birth.  One was wobbling on legs that looked like little white sticks, and the other curled up beside its mother... two tiny bundles of white fluff. We leaned into the stall for the longest time.  Saying nothing.  The mother sheep eyeing us, and the two little lambs, fresh from birth, trying to find their place in this new world they had been born into.  I realized Father was
still holding my hand. We came out of the barn, and Father said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;better go to the house...Mother will be looking for you.â&#x20AC;? I walked ever so slowly to the back door, thinking about what I had just seen, and even though I was very young, I knew again why my father so loved his farm. Why every inch, first settled three generations before him, would always be his haven.  I remember, as if it were yesterday, looking up to the sky that day and thanking whoever, or whatever was up there looking down at us, and saying my childish thanks for all that was around me.  The Depression, indeed, was in some other country.  Interested in an electronic version of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books?  Go to https://www. smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details, or if you would like a hard copy, please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

of Spring, one of my favourite times of the year.  And so, that day on the way home from school, I knew there would be other changes too around the farm.  Father would be pleased that the barnyard had cleared of snow, and the cows could graze on dry land. He would never tolerate any of the farm animals wallowing around in mud, and often I saw him move them from one place to another just to keep them on drier land. As I came out of the clearing of the bush along the lane, I could see patches of snow still here and there on the twenty-acre field that separated our farm from the Thomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.  It would have to be completely dry before the planting. I neared the swing gate and then I saw Father.  He was leaning on the fence that circled the barnyard...most unusual for Father at that time of day.  He was wearing what we called

How to make your renovation a successful, positive experiencepresented
APRIL 45th,,6 5th &&7 6th
paint colors, the key to a successful renovation often lies in what you won’t see. Investing in quality behind your walls will ensure durability, comfort and safety for years to come. 6. Focus on the basics. This includes quality electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing and drywall. Don’t underestimate the importance of insulation especially in a basement renovation. Not all insulation is created equal. Opt for insulation that is fireresistant, sound absorbent and resistant to mold, mildew, bacterial growth, and rot. In my renovations, I like to use products like Roxul’s Comfortbatt and Comfortboard IS to help achieve a more energy efficient home, buy you valuable time in the event of a fire and prevent moisture issues that can pose health risks and lead to costly repairs. 7. Develop a good plan. This includes preparing for the unexpected. Setting aside a 20 percent contingency fund will help bring you to the finish line when unanticipated issues creep up. Lastly, the key to a successful renovation includes patience. Living in a construction zone - or alternately moving out while the work is done - can be stressful and trying. Keep your eyes on the prize. There’s nothing more rewarding than the end result, which can bring years of enjoyment and ultimately add to your home’s bottom line.

Renovation spending has more than doubled since the late 1990s, reaching nearly $65 billion last year alone. Oftentimes the investment a homeowner makes is substantial, both financially and emotionally. The stakes are high. That’s why it’s imperative that the job is done well from start to finish. There are a number of steps a homeowner can take to ensure a positive experience and a successful outcome, including: 1. Know your goal. Ask the question, “What is this renovation designed to accomplish? More functionality? Storage? Living space?” If a homeowner doesn’t know where they’re going with the renovation, chances are they’ll never get there. 2. Do your research. In most things, knowledge is power, and knowing what to expect, in advance, can keep expectations in check. Investigate options, budgets and timelines, and arrange financing in advance. 3. Hire professionals. Be sure that they are happy to work with you to meet your budget and achieve your vision. Communicate clearly and often to ensure underth th th standing on both sides. 4. Opt for a general contractor and trades that are experienced, licensed and insured. Don’t hesitate to check credentials and references. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues who have had work done and were satisfied with the results. 5. Start with quality building materials. When it comes to home renovation and construction, the adage, “it’s what’s on the inside that counts” seems apt. While homeowners tend to get caught up in the aesthetics of a project, such as finishings and
