Community members, dignitaries and protesters gather to recognize Sir John A’s 201st birthday

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Every Jan. 11, Kingston marks the birthday of Canada’s first Prime Minister Sir John A Macdonald, and this year was no exception as community members and dignitaries gathered at the Macdonald statue in City Park. The celebration is always a highlight for local historian Arthur Milnes, but this year someone tried to dampen his spirits. On the morning preceding the celebrations, Milnes found his car vandalised, his tires slashed and a burnt Canadian flag under his car in his driveway. “I was a little worried this morning. It scared me and I didn’t like it, but it did not make me want to stay home today,” said Milnes following the celebration. Events went ahead as planned minus a performance from a local school choir that was cancelled for safety reasons, but Milnes was visibly saddened by the proceedings of the morning, especially the burning of the flag. “When this tradition started, it was just a small thing with friends and family and the first time we did it, the first person here, in his wheelchair, was John Matheson, the man who helped design our Canadian flag,” said Milnes. “This morning someone burnt Mr. Matheson’s flag and discarded it like garbage at my house and that made me sad. I understand protest, but that wasn’t right. I wasn’t angry, I was just sad.” Disagreement, debate and discussion appeared to be the themes of the event this year, as celebrations happened alongside protests from the group Idle No More. As community members and dignitaries sang O’ Canada, protesters chanted ‘reconciliation comes

without colonial celebration’ and as speakers spoke, they couldn’t help but acknowledge the opposition on the other side. “Sir John A Macdonald was always about debate and in that spirit I want to welcome all of the protestors here today,” said Kingston Mayor, Bryan Paterson. “Ultimately today, I see this as a celebration of Kingston and Canada and the fact that we have a democratic society with rights and freedoms including the opportunity to protest and to engage in healthy community debate.” MP Mark Gerretsen, whose vehicles were also vandalized at his home Sunday evening, was also in attendance at the celebrations; he took the opportunity to embrace the discussions that surround Sir John A. and chose to focus on the positive. “It is great to live in a country where we can openly express ourselves and the way we feel about different things and that includes this protest,” he said. “When you think about it, a lot of these opportunities have to do with Sir John A. and what he gave us in this country that he set up for us to live in.” Former premier of Ontario Dalton McGuinty was also on hand to celebrate Macdonald and recognize both his achievements and criticisms. Mc- Community members and dignitaries gathered at the Sir John A statute in City Park on Jan. 11 Guinty spoke of Sir John A as a person and, more to celebrate his 201st birthday.

Photos/Mandy Marciniak “He was one of the most important fathers of confederation; many of us here today are mothers “History is complicated stuff and nobody is perand fathers and we have a lot of expectations for that is to do more and do better than he did in his fect,” he said. “I celebrate these people and the fact our children,” he said. “We want them to become time.” Milnes agreed with these sentiments following that they gave their lives to public service. That is stronger and better than we are. I like to think that as we stand here in the shadow of Sir john A Mac- the celebration and encouraged everyone to come what I celebrate here each year and I encourage others to do the same.” donald, we are living up to our responsibility and back in January of 2017.

Vimy Memorial Bridge in Ottawa that also crosses the Rideau Canal. The complex design work will involve floating a barge in the river to conduct detailed geo-technical work in the bedrock for the bridge support columns. J.L. Richards’ engineering and design team got high marks for its non-financial proposal based on factors such as experience, qualifications, work plan, creativity, innovation, vision and accessibility, accounting for 75 per cent of each bid’s ranking. The financial aspect accounted for the other 25 per cent of the bid evaluation based on the city’s request for proposals. Mark Van Buren, director of engineering, says this stage of the design work is crucial to helping nail down the overall cost and risks of the bridge project. “The bridge project is very important to this community.

News – Kingston’s muchtouted third crossing project is taking a big step forward with the awarding of a $2.3 million contract to complete the preliminary bridge design work. Councillors initially delayed approving the hiring of design firm J.L. Richards last month, citing a lack of information about four other competing bids. Some of the bids came in one million dollars cheaper than the firm that was recommended by staff. “Is this extra million dollars worth it? In my view it is,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. Staff presented a more detailed report on how the rival bids scored during a review process to justify the higherpriced contract and satisfy the concerns of most councillors. They voted 7-5 at their first meeting of the year on Jan. 12 to approve the recommendation to hire J.L. Richards. Coun. Ryan Boehme says the additional information was helpful in a making an

educated decision. “I think in this instance it’s allayed a lot of concerns and we are getting the best value for our tax dollar. I’m confident staff had it right initially.” Coun. Adam Candon initially questioned the more expensive contract, but later said he is satisfied the city will ultimately get good value for its money. “We are voting for less surprises and less time delays and less maintenance on the bridge in the long haul.” City officials say even though J.L. Richards is the most expensive of the five bids, it’s also the most qualified firm to design the 1.1 kilometre long, two-lane bridge that would span the Cataraqui River between John Counter Blvd. and Gore Road. They maintain J.L. Richards presented a more extensive work plan that involves consultation with various stakeholders including Parks Canada, stewards of the UNESCO world heritage Rideau Canal waterway, plus other government departments and aboriginal groups.

growth by 2033. “It’s more a convenience than a necessity in this point in time. I think it’s premature. Maybe in 10 years we’ll know whether we need it or not.” However, Mayor Paterson doesn’t believe council’s narrow vote is a sign of lukewarm community support for the bridge crossing. “It is a lot of money and it is a controversial project for some. I would never expect a vote like that to be unanimous but a majority of council voted for it and that’s reflective of a majority of Kingstonians.”

It will take about 18 months to get the bridge ready for construction, but the final decision on whether to proceed with that will likely rest with the next council. “We are certainly going to be working hard to make the project shovel ready by the end of this council term. But we’ve got a long ways to go,” said Van Buren. In addition, council is expected to get a clearer picture of the project’s overall cost, pegged at $120 million to $150 million by some estimates, when a detailed financial plan is completed by mid-2017.

Parham Library needs another $35,000 to bring it up to KFPL standards, says Mayor News — “We need to get $35,000 into the budget for the Parham library,” Mayor Frances Smith told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The revelation came from a meeting the Mayor had with Kingston Frontenac Public Library board members and staff at the new facility, as well as a letter from Claudette Richardson, board chair. The bulk of the $35,000 will go to new shelving, which needs to be lower and wider than conventional shelving for accessibility requirements, but also includes $3,000 for a book return drop-box. Also part of the shelving cost is anchoring it into the concrete floor, said Central Frontenac Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven. “We are talking about a post-disaster building here,” Neven said. In Richardson’s letter, the board said the Township is responsible to pay for “equipping and furnishing of the Parham Branch and any other associated costs, including but not limited to shipping, installation and taxes. The equipment and furnishing will conform to the standards set by the Kingston Frontenac Public Library.’ According to the letter, the Township is also responsible for funding ongoing operating costs, including an intrusion alarm, utilities, snow clearing, insurance and cleaning. Also, the Township is

responsible for monitoring and responses to any alarm calls. In return, KFPL will fund the installation and ongoing costs of a personal alarm, telephone and internet/wifi access. KFPL will also supply the computer equipment and assume all related costs including maintenance, service and software licencing, as well as fund six hours of operation per week. However, it was another paragraph, which read in part “if performance measures (set by KFPL) do not meet benchmarks, then the branch will close and the furniture and equipment will be moved to the new facility in Mountain Grove” that concerned Coun. Phillip Smith. “I wonder about the language of the letter, having Mountain Grove in there,” Smith said. “I wonder if they’ve got something in mind and are just stringing us along.” There are plans for a new library facility attached to the firehall in Mountain Grove but no building date has been set and it is not expected to be part of the 2016 budget. Smith did say that if there was not enough usage of the Parham branch to keep it open, the shelving could conceivably be moved to any new Mountain Grove branch. In a 2006 report, KFPL had proposed closing three of the four library branches in Central Frontenac (Arden, Mountain Grove and Parham) in favour of a new, larger facility to be built in Sharbot Lake.

THE WINTER WINDS AND RECYCLING With the strong winds accompanying the snow this winter, please give a bit more thought to how you put out your recycling. Take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. Loose newspapers will end up kilometers away and empty or light plastics tend to fly out into the ditches and treelines. Not overfilling your box and crushing your bottles will make them more compact and less likely to take flight. As well, the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers flat in a grocery bag then into your box; it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep the environment and our workers in mind when recycling.

WINTER MAINTENANCE To assist our crews in their winter control efforts, the parking of vehicles on Township roads and village streets from 12:00 midnight to 7:00 a.m. is not permitted from December 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016. As well, pursuant to Section 181 of the Highway Traffic Act “No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway without permission in writing from the road authority responsible for the maintenance of the road. Please be advised that the Township of South Frontenac will NOT be responsible for damages to mailboxes, newspaper boxes, recycle boxes, garbage cans or parked cars where said boxes or vehicles interfere with the winter maintenance on Township roads.

New owner for Kingston’s Marine Museum & dry dock property By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston’s mayor is reacting cautiously to news the marine museum and dry dock land has been sold to a local developer. “I’m cautiously optimistic. From what I’ve heard there’s some interest in keeping the marine museum at its current location, which is good news.” Local developer Jay Patry has purchased the 1.5 hectare waterfront site for just over $3 million – one year after the federal government declared it surplus and put it up for sale. Up to a dozen companies expressed interest in buying the property at 55 Ontario Street.

Councillors say Patry has indicated that he plans to build a residential high-rise on a portion of the site, which includes the historic museum building, 1890s dry dock and nearby wharf. “It’s a piece of land that can really help define the city. So what goes there is really important,” remarked Coun. Adam Candon. But concern was also expressed over the developer’s ability to clean up and repair the site, with its crumbling docks and contaminated soil. “Presumably the federal government told the developer everything he needs to know and he was still willing to pay for it. I was a

bit flummoxed anyone would pay that but perhaps the developer knows something I don’t,” said Coun. Rob Hutchison. The city itself declined a first offer to purchase the property for $1 due to the uncertain cost to taxpayers of undertaking building repairs and on-site remediation, estimated as high as $19 million. “I think there’s a fair bit of risk based on information that’s been released publicly about the cost of remediating that property,” added Coun. Hutchison. The Brownfield clean-up could hinge on a future deal between the city and the developer. Last year, councillors started the process of designating the waterfront site as a Brownfield. This could allow the new owner to qualify for millions of dollars in municipal tax incentives to clean up the site. But there are strings attached to council’s final support. “The Brownfields program is something we could bring to the table but we’d be looking for something in return for that,” said Mayor Paterson. Council’s main conditions are to keep the marine museum in the heritage building it has leased since 1975 and to maintain public access to the waterfront. “We are willing to consider certain tools and incentives for development provided there’s preservation of the heritage building and marine museum,” the mayor explained. The not-for-profit, privately managed museum pays an affordable lease to the city to rent the former federally-owned heritage building and dry dock, a lease that ex-

pires at the end of 2016. The attraction may need a greater municipal subsidy to help pay rent to the new private owner. Paterson says he looks forward to discussing a partnership with the new owner. “My hope is there’s some sort of arrangement that can be worked out between the marine museum and the new owner to keep it in its current location.” The museum houses one of the most extensive marine collections in Canada with 3,000 artefacts, 11,000 books, 40,000 ship’s plans and 15,000 images - along with a retired coast guard icebreaker that’s moored in the dry dock. The mayor says he was not informed in advance about the high-profile sale by the federal government, and learned about it through the media. Coun. Hutchison expects it will be another two or three years before the city sees any form of high-rise apartment development plans. “I don’t know if there’s much support for a hirise there because how much space would be left? These are all questions that would have to be answered in whatever proposal the developer comes forward with.” “It’s going to be really important to do a lot of public consultation and it’s important to seize the opportunity. I think whatever (Jay) Patry does reflects well on the community. I do hope we can hit a home run,” said Coun. Adam Candon. Mayor Paterson is taking a wait-and-see approach in navigating the future of the museum and dry dock. “We certainly not committing to anything at this point but we are open to discussions.”

18 months was a very close 7-5. (Coun. Laura Turner, who was absent, likely would’ve supported the project to make it 8-5.) Five councillors remain strongly opposed, not just to the design contract, but to the very need for a new link connecting Gore Road and John Counter Boulevard. Coun. Rob Hutchison is one of them. “I don’t think there’s overwhelmingly support for the third crossing actually. There’s probably more opposition than people generally realize, even on the east side of the river, especially the closer we get to actually doing it.” He calls the bridge a “span to sprawl” and says even though the city has invested millions of dollars on the environmental assessment that laid the groundwork for a bridge, plus land purchases at the bridge landing points and the bridge design, it’s not too late to pull the plug. “There’s $60 million or $70 million to come,” he said, referring to the city’s one-third share of the actual construction cost should other governments decide to pony up funding. Coun. Hutchison also warned the city’s population, based on recent studies, will start to decline in

Editorial – Several people in Kingston were watching with interest when a newly-constructed $106 million bridge buckled in the northern Ontario cold a few days ago, temporarily severing the Trans-Canada Highway. The Nipigon River Bridge north of Thunder Bay, described as the only road between eastern and western Canada in this part of the country, heaved apart January 10. For Councillor Ryan Boehme, it was a chilling reminder of the cost and complexities of designing a bridge - just like the one Kingston wants to build over the Cataraqui River. Two days after the Nipigon bridge problems, city councillors debated whether to pay a higher price to have a professional firm design their own bridge span. Coun. Boehme says Kingston doesn’t want a repeat of the “embarrassment” in northern Ontario. “It went to the lowest bidder,” he said of the buckled bridge. It was a timely argument that bol-

stered the case of those who favoured hiring J.L. Richards at $2.3 million to complete the preliminary third crossing design, one million dollars more than what other firms had bid on the contract. Skeptics questioned why the city shouldn’t accept the lowest price. While staff said all five competing firms have solid credentials, the proposal by J.L. Richards was far superior based on its experience, work plan, consultation and risk assessment. In other words, the financial aspect is only a small component of the overall contract. Pay more now, and the city should minimize the risk of unexpected delays or cost overruns down the road, council was told. The winning firm presented a more thorough plan to consult with government agencies such as Parks Canada, the federal government department that controls the waterway, while offering to do more detailed geo-technical studies of the riverbed where the support columns for the 1.1 kilometre bridge will be anchored, according to staff. Most councillors left the Jan. 12 meeting convinced the cheapest price doesn’t always guarantee the best results. They went with the highest bid based on the advice of their in-house experts. Even so, the vote to proceed with the bridge design work over the next

I think I have felt this way for most of my adult life, but I never realized SAD was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; until several years ago. I read about it on a blog and began to research further. Most experts agree that the most effective way to combat SAD is â&#x20AC;&#x153;light therapyâ&#x20AC;?. Basically, you sit next to a light box that mimics the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays for 30 minutes a day and your mood will improve. I looked into buying one of these lights last year but it was quite pricey and I found it hard to justify the expense. (That could also have had something to do with the fact that it was a sunny day in March â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not exactly my lowest moment as far as SAD

goes.) Plus, despite all the articles Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still a little sceptical about the ultimate effectiveness of the lights. If anyone out there has had a successful experience with one, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear from you. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve personally found to be most effective is exercise, especially yoga and running. In fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say part of the reason for my SAD is that I do a lot less outdoor running (read: none) when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow and ice on the ground, which equals both less time outdoors and fewer endorphins/ happy chemicals for my brain. A sunshine vacation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even the anticipation an impending one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can also go a long way. I talked in my last column about how for the first time in several years we will not be escaping to the Caribbean in 2016. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying very hard not to get pouty about this (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a terrible, first world problem, I know) but the truth is knowing a warm, sunny beach was in my near future really did make those harsh winter days more bearable. Another thing that helps: getting into a really good book or TV show. Steve and I recently binged on Making a Murderer (along with the rest of Netflix-watching world) and focusing on that for a bit truly did lift my mood a little. Maybe someday I will finally make it to California, but until then I will probably have to deal with SAD; at least I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not alone - it just seems to be a fact of life for Canadians who thrive on sunlight.

per, but a least in that conversation. And it has endured. That alone is sufficient to illustrate David Bowieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;roll. The loss the world suffered on Jan. 10 with Bowieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing from liver cancer is profound when one considers a world without Jean Genie, Rebel Rebel or Heroes. The world had not seen his like before, and although there were numerous imitators who followed, none exhibited the pure artistic talent Bowie did. Bowie was an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in every sense of the word. He created characters for every change in direction his music took, each a classic in itself.

Editorial - My friend Mark Bergin and I have a running joke that each year one of us will write a column about the awfulness that is winter. I think we both try to keep them pretty light because hey, winter is easy to hate, most of us Canadians like to grumble about it and misery loves company. So far, this winter hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been nearly as bad as the last two (TOUCH WOOD) but there are still the usual obstacles. E.g. - why can I only find one mitt each of three pairs? Guess thisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be another mismatched mitt day; - oh look it froze rain last night and now I get to spend an hour chisiling ice off the car; - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minus 20 and the dog needs to be walked; - Summer is sick again, which means sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been healthy for a grand total of one out of the last eight weeks. I could go on. All in all I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say that life is just a whole lot nicer and simpler when weather conditions are at least somewhat hospitable to human life and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to track down a million articles of clothing for yourself and your

Low dollar makes shopping local more appealing than ever Editorial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Last week, the Canadian dollar made numerous headlines as it continued to drop in value. We all watched as the loonie fell to its lowest level since 2003 and below 70 cents US, but this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen an unpredictable dollar. The currencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic low is 61.79 cents U.S., set in January 2002; it rebounded several years later to an all-time high of 110.3 cents U.S. in November 2007, but some analysts are predicting that this time around the loonie could fall to as low as 59 cents. While this plunge is certainly unwelcome for many cross-border shoppers and travellers, the situation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like it is going to improve anytime soon. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already seen an increase in prices on things like food and this will inevitably get worse as the dollar continues to drop. So what can we do? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shop localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, especially in the past few years, but now, more than ever, shopping local is important. We need to be sourcing our foods from local vendors and focusing on buying produce that is locally grown and in season. Over the past few weeks, people have been complaining about the cost of produce. On social media people have referenced $8 heads of cauliflower and $7 pounds of asparagus. Yes, these prices are ridiculous, but these vegetables are also horribly out of season in Canada right now. What do you expect? We have all adapted to having what we want the second we want it when it comes to food, but this simply isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustainable. If you want fresh peaches in the middle of winter then maybe can them when they are in season, or if you want cauliflower in January then buy it in season and freeze it. Frozen vegetables still taste delicious when they thaw. We all hope that the dollar situation improves in the coming months, but perhaps this downturn can be a wakeup call for consumers; we all need to be shopping local whenever we can.

The kids have killed the man, time to break up the band

sicians and singers I listen to much more than Bowie, I do place him in that immortal category that includes John Lennon and Jim Morrison, all true originals. To say that Bowie changed the world might be going a bit far, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question that he almost singlehandedly changed fashion, art and music. Remember those silly platform shoes we all seemed to have to have? How about the haircuts? At the very least, stagecraft for live rock shows jumped to a new level after Bowie started turning everything into musical production numbers. Hell, he even made a mark on cinema, with The Hunger and The SALES: Man CLASSIFIED Who FellADVERTISING To Earth coming to Sharon Russell - 613-688-1483

mind as cult classics. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t most people think of both of these as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bowie flicks?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; People like David Bowie donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come along very often. To some, he was weird, and yes, he was weird, but it was a very cool weird. Bowie was never really much of a musician or singer. There were/ are tons of people who play better guitar and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing terribly impressive about his voice. But none have ever matched him in pure creativity, and the ability to somehow pull all that weirdness off. Bowie was one of a kind, a storyteller par excellence, and he will be missed. s !DVERTISING RATES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE ACCORDING TO RIP Ziggy Stardust. the rate card in effect at time advertising published. s 4HE ADVERTISER AGREES THAT THE PUBLISHER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that s portion !DVERTISING RATES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE ACCORDING TO of the advertisement in which the error occurred, the rate card effect at time advertisingof published. whether suchinerror is due to negligence its servants or s otherwise... 4HE ADVERTISER AGREES THAT THE PUBLISHER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE and there shall be no liability for non-insertion forany damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond of advertisement beyond the amount charged for such the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that advertisement. portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, s 4HE ADVERTISER AGREES THAT THE COPYRIGHT OF ALL ADVERTISEMENTS whether such error is due to of Publisher its servants or prepared by the Publisher benegligence vested in the and otherwise... and there shallcannot be no liability for non-insertion that those advertisements be reproduced without the of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such permission of the Publisher. advertisement. s 4HE 0UBLISHER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO EDIT REVISE OR REJECT s any 4HE ADVERTISER AGREES THAT THE COPYRIGHT OF ALL ADVERTISEMENTS advertisement. prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. s 4HE 0UBLISHER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO EDIT REVISE OR REJECT any advertisement.

One of my options with this TV is for it to go to Habitat for Humanity to be recycled (please note: not used). Basically I took that to mean “thrown out”! As I guess I am now destined to drive around the city with this old TV in my front seat, maybe I am missing something about what being poor is? As a student, should I have been more picky about what I was given? Could I have scored a brand new flat screen TV that someone no longer needed for free?

I am currently in the process of cleaning out my mother’s house. Many of her things have been well cared for and in some cases are even new! Perhaps a little out of date by say... 20 years, but who cares? Right? Well, apparently many donation centers do care. After attempting to drop off a colour, box TV that is in great working condition to Value Village and being rejected on the basis of “People wanting Flat screes or LEDs” it made me wonder what being “in need” was all about

Kingston welcomes Syrian refugee family By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

The interview with Mahmoud Maree was made possible by translator Wasan Kadham. More than anything, Mahmoud Maree wishes to make an honest living in his profession as a business owner, and for his sons Hussein, 18, Mohamed, 15, Ahmad, 13, and Abed El Hamid, 6, to receive an education. Sadly, these simple dreams were rendered impossible in his home country of Syria after conflict erupted in 2011 and later descended into a bloody civil war that continues to rage today; now, thanks to the work of those involved in the Sanctuary Project at St. Paul the Apostle Church, the Maree family has found refuge in Kingston and is eager to pick up where they left off five years ago. Mahmoud arrived with his four sons and wife Radia Al Sayad at Norman Rogers Airport on Dec. 16 after a long and storied journey. “When I left home, I was wishing even to just have a chance to sit on the beach,” Maree says. “I didn’t want to leave my home but it wasn’t safe to stay in Syria. Any city or any country we go to, it’s going to be better.” Prior to arriving in Canada, the family spent a long interim period in Lebanon that lasted over four years; conditions were better than those in Syria but still not ideal. For the first 15 days, they lived in what was essentially a storage locker. “I was taken to emergency twice because

it wasn’t ventilated and it was very, very humid,” Maree says. “My lungs got infected a lot. There was no sun, no windows – it was just a room and we all lived in it. I will never forget those 15 days. I struggled a lot in those 15 days.” Eventually, the family found a house; it had no windows, no doors and no roof, and was shared with Maree’s brother’s large family. The two brothers then turned the storage locker they had initially lived in into a clothing store, which is how Maree had made his living before war hit in Syria. Business was not very good, however, and both families struggled to make ends meet. As a result, Maree decided to strike out on his own and start a separate clothing business: “I found a very, very small, simple garage, not good condition, and picked this place to work. Then I told the owner of this garage, I want a house for me and my family or I will use the garage as a home and a store.” The garage owner helped the Marees find another small home; they did not initially have enough money to cover rent, but were able to move in by promising to pay in full once the shop started making money. As it turned out, the store did quite well, and generated enough income to pay for food and rent. After a while, Maree was even able to renovate and make it look more attractive; he then found a partner and the two divided the work in half. His son Ahmad, he notes, was also a huge help. “He would think [about the store] and make a plan for it and we would share every-

Our church has the capacity to help so we should.” Gallagher estimates that it will likely cost between $40,000-$50,000 in total to sponsor the family. “We’ve been working very hard on this. There’s a top notch housing committee, which has worked very hard to get their apartment and get it furnished for them before they arrived. It was all ready and waiting for them when they got here.” Another committee is dealing with healthcare needs, another with fundraising and still another with direct con-

Winter’s Big Dig not Kingston’s only construction project in 2016

Another well-used stretch of pavement will be getting an extra 1,000 feet added to it. The main north-south runway at Norman Rogers Airport will be extended as part of a $16 million upgrade to the airport, expected to start this fall. The work involves clear-cutting some forested area on the airport’s property near Collins Bay to make room for the longer runway. “We need to strengthen our transportation links to make it easier to get in and out of Kingston,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. The runway’s 6,000 feet length could attract more airline competition, plus make it possible for charter flights directly from Kingston to vacation destinations, the mayor added. R0013

According to the 2016 capital budget, new dedicated cycling lanes will be added along Montreal Street (just north of Highway 401 to Kingston Mills Road), all of Kingston Mills Road, Highway 15 (Highway 401 to Gore Road), Bath Road (Bayridge Dr. to Collins Bay Rd.), Montreal Street (Ordnance St. to Stephen St.), Division Street (Colborne St. to Quebec St.) and two blocks of University Avenue. “Some places we are adding pavement (for new bike lanes) and some of it is line painting. We’re trying to develop east-west, north-south cycling networks,” said Keech. Traffic signals will also be rebuilt at two key intersections; Bath & Portsmouth and Bath & Palace Road.

News – The latest phase of the Big Dig is getting all of the attention because of its winter timing, complexity and impact on stores and traffic. But it’s not Kingston’s only road construction project on the books in 2016. The $12.9 million Big Dig is certainly the city’s most expensive, and possibly most disruptive, road project slated for this year. It involves ripping up several blocks of Princess Street, between Bagot and Clergy Streets, to replace aging infrastructure underground and install new surface features. “The Princess Street project is, by far, the largest and most expensive this year and a lot of resources are going towards that project,” said Jim Keech, the president and CEO of Utilities Kingston who also oversees road work in the city. When the warmer weather arrives the city will launch a series of less expensive but equally important infrastructure projects. One of bigger ones involves smoothing the pavement on Centennial Drive, between Bath Road and Taylor-Kidd Boulevard, through a method called micro-surfacing. This process will extend the road’s lifespan and avoid the same type of total reconstruction as what’s happening on Princess Street. The pavement preservation involves applying two layers; the first layer is a sealed coat of asphalt, water and aggregate, plus a second layer of asphalt

mixture to further protect the road’s surface. The treatment is applied in a thin layer designed to seal the pavement and prevent water from getting into the road base, according to officials. “We’re basically looking at extending the life of the road surface,” said Keech. Micro-surfacing not only delays total resurfacing work by about eight years but costs about five times less than traditional applications. Off-road construction will also resume on John Counter Boulevard this spring as crew focus on building the large embankments that will eventually support a bridge over the main CN tracks near the VIA train station. “It involves piling up rocks and other material to prepare for the roadway. The embankment material and moisture needs a couple of years to settle before the structure is built,” Keech explained. The bridge is being constructed adjacent to the existing roadway, so it won’t be as disruptive to motorists. The work will be done in advance of John Counter Blvd.’s widening to four lanes in the next couple of years. The project’s total cost is $63 million, much larger than the Big Dig, although most of the money will be spent in 2017 and 2018. With the Big Dig removed from the mix, Keech predicts the rest of the 2016 road construction year will be busy but not as disruptive to motorists and businesses as in previous years. Cyclists are also getting extra routes.

Heritage Committee member Barbara Monk emphasized the work the committee has done over the past year, in consultation with the township, to ensure that heritage is being preserved and improved in the community. This year the committee provided feedback

They also asked for increased clerical support. For council’s part, Mayor Bill Lowry commented on the positive work that the Heritage Committee has done for the community. “I was fortunate enough to have a pretty extensive tour of the Hamm House and I was amazed by the history that is on the walls, both written and on display,” he said. “It makes me really proud of our community and the positive steps we are taking. We have a long way to go in terms of potential, but I think it is definitely possible.”

on five heritage permit applications and two designated property grants and also worked to provide feedback on projects in the area including the proposed Windlectric project on Amherst Island. They also worked to develop a heritage register to help organize and designate properties. “Council has worked with us to preserve the shared cultural heritage assets in our community,” said Monk. “In the months ahead we would like to highlight that we will continue to bring positive recommendations to council on various issues including the dry stone walls on Amherst Island, a resource manual for issues going forward and to continue building the heritage register.” The Heritage Committee also outlined their financial hopes for the coming year asking council

*** As the meeting wrapped up, Councillor Ashley enquired with staff about the status of the Windlectric proposals following the passing of an important bylaw at the last meeting. “Have we had any more communication from them or any ideas of what they are going to do next?” asked Ashley. “It was all hurry up before Christmas and now it seems to have shut down a bit.” Staff explained to council that the project continues to move forward and Windlectric have sent the Traffic Management and Emergency Response Plans to the township for review. “We have reviewed both and given our comments about what we think is missing. The process is continuing,” said CAO Robert Maddocks. Ashley asked that these documents be made public for additional feedback.

In terms of action items for the evening, council was asked by the City of Kingston to support their Basic Income Guarantee resolution that passed unanimously on Dec. 15. The resolution asks that municipalities endorse a national discussion of a Basic Income Guarantee for all Canadians. “This is only partially within the municipal level of services, but I think there are some wonderful equities that are built into this idea and those are definitely worth pursuing,” said Deputy Mayor Ric Bresee who moved to receive and support the item.

pursue if they want to. “I think it is pretty important to show these kids what we do,” he said. “I never really understood, when I was younger that song writing was a job someone had. I think it is important to expose kids to music and really encourage them creatively.” While a music career also comes with a certain level of self-doubting and worrying about day to day concerns, James wouldn’t trade his career for any other. “I really enjoy playing music and I love the creativity that comes from playing music with people, even if it is just a cover song,” he said. “When you play with people you make it your own and the interplay is really enjoyable.” James hopes that this creativity and energy comes across in his shows and he encourages people to come see The Young Novelists live if they can. “I have a great time at the shows and I hope the audience does too,” he said. “There are a lot of things you can do with your dollar and live music is a very unique thing. It is a lot like live theatre, it is a one of a kind experience and I think that is something that is hard to find in our culture today.” The Young Novelists will be performing with Anne Lindsay at the Octave Theatre, 711 Dalton Ave. on Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Live Wire Music Series.

I didn’t really do much with that until recently,” he explained. James started performing on his own as a singersongwriter in 2009 and soon after formed The Young Novelists, a Toronto-based roots, rock band that also features his wife, Laura Spink. The band just released their second album, Made Us Strangers, in 2015 and on Jan. 29 they will be visiting Kingston and Verona for a couple shows. “We’ve played a few times at the Mansion and at the Grad Club and that has been great because some people that I know have been able to come to shows and see me doing what I love - something that they may not have expected,” said James. “I wasn’t particularly musical in school and for them to see me in a band now is a bit of a novelty. I like it.” The Young Novelists will also be making a couple stops north of the city and playing concerts at James’ old stomping grounds: Prince Charles Public School and Harrowsmith Public School. “I’m a bit nervous about those shows and it is a little unnerving,” he said. “I have a five-year-old and the thing he says most often when my wife and I are rehearsing is ‘stop singing’. Kids are pretty honest critics so you have to be interesting and entertaining or they will let you know.” For James, and the rest of the band, it was important to visit the schools to show kids that music and performing is a viable career and something they should

Lower oil prices means some plastic items no longer wanted by recycling firms fee (per item) to mitigate the cost of grinding. There is currently no charge to dispose of such items at Central Frontenac waste disposal sites. “How would you go about that (the tipping fee)?” said Coun. Tom Dewey. “For example, a small toy versus a chaise-lounge.” “We’re suggesting one fee across the board, otherwise it would cause arguments with the site attendants,” said Badgley. Dewey said that the waste management committee had investigated buying a grinder for just such purposes in the past but were dissuaded by the cost — pegged in the $50,000 to $80,000 range. Badgley concurred. “For just us, it wouldn’t be cost-effective, it’s something we wouldn’t use a lot,” he said. “I’m hoping to sit down with the other public works managers to see if we could share a unit. “Or, to see if there is somebody out there who could come do the grinding for an hour-

News — Cheaper oil prices may be better for drivers by lowering the price of gasoline, but the downside is that it also makes it cheaper to make new hard plastic items (lawn chairs, toys, laundry baskets, etc) out of oil, rather than recycle the old plastic, Public Works Manager John Badgley told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. “Since the price of oil went down, there’s no market for it now,” he said. “In speaking to the companies that have previously taken these items, they are predicting that this will be a long-term stoppage or even if it returns at all. “Therefore, these items will remain in the landfill sites.” Badgley said the items would undoubtedly lessen the longevity of our two waste disposal sites if left as is and suggested by grinding them down, they could be used as cover material. He also suggested a tipping

ly fee.” “This is one of the things that we want to discuss at the next CAOs meeting,” said Clerk Cathy MacMunn. “There is some money available at County for waste management.” “With charging a tipping fee per item, we could potentially have an income from this,”

Badgley said. “In turn, that will be invested back into grinding this material so it uses less space in our waste sites and can be used as cover.” Council passed a motion to send the matter to the waste management committee. “They’ll discuss pricing for tipping fees,” said Mayor Frances Smith.

Public works manager wants to end garbage amnesty loads, councilor doesn’t By Craig Bakay

News — An old bugaboo resurfaced at last week’s regular Central Frontenac Council meeting in Sharbot Lake — garbage amnesty loads. “I’d like you to consider ending these,” said Public Works Manager John Badgley. “We had 800 loads in 2015 and we lost $20,000 in revenue (from tipping fees).

“Understand that our biggest constituency is cottagers and we’re taking Toronto and Ottawa and Kingston’s garbage because they’d have to pay to dispose of it there. “We’re getting a lot of large items.” Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald was on board with Badgley’s recommendation. “I’m onside with cancelling this and have been since Day 1,” said MacDonald. “I’m not in

favour of amnesty.” However, MacDonald was the only one on Council to speak in favour of ending the popular program. “I’m not in support of even bringing this back for discussion,” said Coun. Tom Dewey. “We always hear about how people don’t get anything for their tax dollars. “And as far as this filling up the sites faster, whether you get tipping fees or not, you’re still getting the garbage going in there.” But Dewey especially disagreed with the ‘Toronto’s garbage’ argument. “I don’t buy that,” he said. “I know many people who take their garbage back (to Toronto or Ottawa) with them.” Badgley said he had no quantitative evidence that it was happening, rather a gut feeling and “what the attendants tell me.”

• • • Dewey did have praise for the Public Works department’s phone-line. “The call-in number is working well,” he said. “A lot of people in my area don’t like calling the Township so they call me instead. “I got a live body when I called in for them and that was good.” ••• This (calendar) year was the best for con-

struction of the past three, in terms of construction value, Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven told Council. In 2015, construction value was $7,055.805, compared to $5.3 million in 2014 and $5.7 million in 2013. There were, however, more building permits issued in 2013, 118 versus 116 in 2015. ••• Mayor Frances Smith told Council that the Frontenac County Official Plan has been accepted by the ministry and should come into effect following the next County Council meeting. That should give the County planning department time to work on upgrading Central’s OP, as Neven reported that after looking at it, he’s determined that there is no vehicle in it to allow for seniors’ suites (also known as ‘granny suites’). ••• Council also passed a motion for the formation of a committee to look into celebrations for Canada’s 150th anniversary. “If we are going to do something for this, we need to start planning now,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “The celebrations are for 2017 but grant applications for funding have to be in by December 2016,” said Clerk Cathy MacMunn. Coun. Victor Heese volunteered to sit on the committee.

Box Social was always good for a few surprises

Father, a staunch Lutheran, often complained that ‘those Uniteds only give us the right time of day when there They were all good neighbours, those along the Northcote Side Road, a is a free meal in the offing’. Mother helping hand always at the ready. They said that was sheer nonsense, because we Lutherans weren’t above filling our mingled over the euchre table at the Satplates at the United Church suppers eiurday night house parties, and ate in the ther! same kitchen when they gathered for Take the annual Box Social for inthrashing or wood-sawing days. And stance. It was always held at the United Church, sometimes in the summer, but often in the mid winter months, and we Hanemans never missed it. And that year, it was to take place as part of a Valentine’s Day celebration. Of course, anyone as young as I, would not be takServing the Marine Industry since 1974... ing a box for the party, but certainly Two Generations Later my sister Audrey would be right in there. Boat Tops, Camper Backs, Tonneau Covers She made lists Mooring Covers, Dodgers, Biminis and Enclosures for days. Certainly, there would be butter tarts, and fried chicken legs, and a couple of Mother’s famous sticky buns. Packed in beautifully decoratBy Mary Cook

yet when it came to church, there was, what Father called, ‘the great divide’. The Lutheran and United Churches in Northcote were where most of the social life of the community took place. And although both congregations joined together for events, there was often a ‘them and us’ attitude between the two churches.

ed boxes, the long table in the church hall would be stacked end to end, each one brimming with a delicious lunch, made by the young ladies of the community, and hopefully attractive enough to entice one of the young men at the social to buy it. Some of the girls wrapped their boxes in Christmas tissue, which back then only came in red, blue, green or white, but the plainness was taken away with the use of plenty of ribbons and anything else a girl could put on the box to attract a buyer. He would then have the privilege of eating the lunch with the young girl who had made it. Of course, no one was to know who made up what box. My brother Emerson, who was much too young to enter into the contest, said it was like buying a ‘pig in a poke’ a phrase he picked up from Father when I wasted a whole dime on a grab bag at Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store, thinking I was getting a bottle of expensive perfume, and ended up with Lyndia’s Pink Pills for Pale People! The night of the party at the United Church, was bitterly cold. We bundled up like mummies, and headed out in the flat-bottomed sleigh, with Audrey holding her box, tightly wrapped in a spankingly clean white tea towel, and then in a heavy blanket to keep its innards from freezing. I watched as she packed it. Two fried chicken legs, two of Mother’s sticky buns, butter tarts, and homemade brown sugar fudge. She wrapped it in white paper and coloured red hearts all over

it with crayon. On top was a red bow, taken right off my washstand upstairs used to tie up my long red ringlets. She had washed and ironed it, and I had to admit, the box was a sight for sore eyes, and I was sure would be one of the first to be bid on. Well, after lots of frivolity, it came time to bid on the boxed lunches. Some were just in plain shoeboxes, but those like Audrey’s stole the show, and the bidding started. Audrey of course, was hoping a lad from the Barr Line she was sweet on would buy hers. Well, as it turned out, Orville, whose two eyes went in different directions, and one ear had been half ripped off in a fight with Two Mile Herman paid a full dollar for Audrey’s lunch box. To say she was more than disappointed would be an understatement. She watched one of the Thom girls boxed lunch go to the boy from the Barr Line, but I was mighty proud of my sister who made the best of it. The evening ended up with a rousing square dance, then we gathered up the remains of the lunch box, and headed for home. On the sleigh Mother told Audrey she was mighty proud of her, and she pointed out how the lad had a wonderful smile, and looked as clean as a whistle. Father, sitting on a bale of hay at the front of the sleigh, could be heard saying, “yes, and he’s a Lutheran too.” Audrey didn’t care what he was. As far as she was concerned the friendship with the lad from Admaston, began and ended at the box social on a cold frosty night at the United Church in Northcote.

Islands Council catch up: better late than never By Margaret Knott

News- The holiday period left little space for keeping readers informed of the the work of Frontenac Islands Council. What follows is intended as a catch-up. Mayor Doyle reminded me of the strong stupport and the work of Deputy Mayor Nossal and the councillors during the past year as he handled the Warden role. The December meeting was held on Howe Island, chaired by Deputy Mayor Natalie Nossal, (in the absence of Mayor Doyle), and was attended by a number of interested members of the public. 1. Council received for information a planning report concerning ‘Unopened Road Allowance policies’ concerning roads that have been surveyed,n and the notice of (2) two public meeting dates: Howe Island Council Chambers February 8th at 6 pm, and Wolfe Island Town Hall March 14th at 6 pm, prior to regular monthly council meetings, to provide information about those policies. Planner Joe Gallivan in response to a question by resident W. Knott , confirmed the recommendation that that those roads that lead to water are not to be sold and that a public meeting is required prior to any road clossure. (Private roads are different issue.) 2. Howe Island Speed limit changes: a) To reduce speed to 50 km per hour on Howe Island Drive from Civic No. 790 to Civic No 1387, Frontenac Islands 22. b) to decrease speed to 60 km per hour on North Shore Road from Lower Side Road to Byrne Point Road. 3.Frontenac Islands Christmas Season closure dates announced and annual bonuses approved. 4. The townships of Frontenac County will work toward submitting a joint project funding application to the RED program , (RuralEconomic Development), of benefit to rural Ontario. CAO Plumley will join the other townships and the county in drafting the application. There were items of interest brought to the attention of council under Other Business at the end of the December meeting including: 1. Councillor Springgay requested a sign Road #7051 indicating approximate ferry capacity limit. Also signage at gates of community centre indicating ice conditions and yes or no to skating. 2. WI Resident Doug Franks suggested as a RED Project the continuation of the KP trail project from the City of Kingston to Wolfe Island then on to Cape Vincent. W. Knott suggested the opening of the WI Canal. 3. Deputy Mayor Mayor Nossal, following up on communications issues with Bell Canada, said that

Bell had indeed found deficiencies with lack of service cluster areas on the island with the (5) hot spots identified as 2016 projects. 4. Also Nossal and Deputy Clerk Carol Dwyre took the Lean Sigma Six Training (offered at the County) regarding fare collection at the County ferry. 5. Councillor Higgs thanked the HI Fire Service for raising funds and gathering food for the Food Bank. He also announced another meeting of the new HI Waste & Recycling Committee. Following the meeting Deputy Mayor Nossal commented on two Howe Island Committees. “I am so heartened by the institution of Howe Island Ferry, and the Howe Island Waste & Recycling Committees, that incorporate interested individuals from the community who bring a wide variety of skills and experience to these two areas of concern,” she said. “Instead of having Council members as chairs, we asked that a community member serve as chair to ensure that these committees are firmly rooted in the community. With the support of township staff and council, I think we can expect to see improvements in service and communication as the result of the work of these committees.” 1. The Howe Island Ferry Committee’s purpose is to gather and discuss information pertaining to the Township (Foot Ferry), and to advise Council on ferry issues, operation and planning. An engaged group of committee members have met monthly since September 2015 and post

a communiqué after each to keep the Howe Island community and, as a committee of Council, council receives their minutes. Members include Mike Quinn (chair), Ed Beseau, Robin Craig, Jennifer Medves, Jim Mills, Natalie Nossal and Bruce Higgs, with invaluable support from township staff, Rob Dillabough, Pat Quinn, and Darlene Plumley/Carol Dwyre. 2. The Howe Island Waste and Recycling Committee has met twice, is similar in scope and purpose to that of the Ferry Committee, t o advise/inform Council on issues, operation and planning but with regard to the island’s waste

and recycling operation The committee is devising a series of educational flyers to distribute to the community, and a June open house ‘meet and greet’ . Members include Bill Robertson (chair), Steve Alls, Paul Beseau, JoAnne Forsythe, Natalie Nossal and Bruce Higgs, ably supported by Rob Dillabough and Carol Dwyre.

Tarantino also has a gift for surrounding himself with talented actors who love to work together, and who buy into his vision. It should have been a recipe for a great film. Despite all these things going for The Hateful Eight, I was kind of bored. Tarantino’s films usually have a story to tell or a point to make. In The Hateful Eight there’s just eight nasty individuals trying to kill each other. I kept looking for something more to happen, and it never does. Sure it’s a Tarantino film, and a western, so violence is going to happen. It’s just that when it does get bloody I didn’t care. I guess after eight films I’m kind of been there done that.

New cafe owns the view and the vibe

Suzy Lamont and I munched on to-die-for treats while a couple of Queen’s students worked at a table behind us, some Queen’s faculty enjoyed soup in the corner, and some local neighborhood folks relaxed, chatting over coffee. Then there were the three Kingston School of Dance students—in full dance gear—their backs to us, eyeing the yummies on the counter.

The chandelier over the order counter is a playful touch at Juniper Cafe, a delightful combination of quirky and classy, along with artsy Continued on page 30 and relaxed. The city’s only cafe with a patio on the waterfront had a quiet soft opening last week (the Grand Opening is coming in a couple of weeks), followed by a busy line of snackers and diners who’d been longing for something like this. Artists, students, academics and neighbourhood folk mix and mingle in the cozy spot, located on the first floor waterfront of the Tett Centre at 370 King Street West. As I sit at a table, on one side I look out the window and see the lake. Looking around the cafe, I see three artists I know, as well as an actor and playwright. Nearby are some Queen’s students from the Isabel Bader Centre next door, and some folks I don’t recognize, possibly locals wanting a glimpse of Kingston’s new space to munch and mingle amidst the arts. After a year of delays and red tape, Juniper’s founders, Amber Thom and Jamie Hodges are remarkably upbeat. “It’s a big breath of fresh air to finally open,” says Thom. Having a patio with the only unobstructed view of the water in Kingston, you might think there’d be a certain frustration about finally launching in January on a day when the temperature hovered around ten degrees below zero. “It’s kind of a blessing opening at this time of year,” says Thom. “It allows us to ease into things. We’ve got our catering business [Epicurious] along with the cafe now. We’ll be ready for the patio opening when the weather gets better.” After more than a year of delays, Amber Thom and Jamie Hodges have opened In addition to the waterfront view, this cafe Juniper Cafe in the Tett Centre. Photo/Mark Bergin also has the added attraction of being licensed to serve alcohol. It doesn’t take long inside Juniper to realize this is a special location, a gathering place for creative folks. There’s a warmth to the setting and the staff. There’s also a strong commitment to ethical practices and local foods. Juniper Cafe offers products that are • New Lock sets at least 70% locally sourced year round • Key cutting (higher in summer months). What you see • Fire rated safes is made in-house. You can choose from a diverse selection of healthy baked goods, • Burglar safes bread, panini, as well as soups, sand• Wall safes wiches and salads. The coffee is as fresh • Floor safes as possible, made with beans provided twice weekly by Pilot Coffee, famed for its Direct Trade model, sourcing all their beans from growers they’ve met on farms they’ve toured in person.

Converting garages into livable spaces

entry. Some homeowners prefer to leave the existing door so that the home still has the appearance of a garage from the curb, while others remove the garage door and rebuild the exterior wall so that it has a window or another architectural element. An architect can help suggest design elements that will camouflage

the original garage look and make the space seem like it was always part of the main living area of the home. Landscaping work also can minimize the appearance of an old garage. Rather than having the driveway end at the wall of a home, shrubbery, pavers and other techniques can

blend the garage renovation into the rest of the yard design. Transforming a garage into a living space can add several hundred square feet to a home. Hire a reputable contractor and follow the municipal guidelines for modifying the space to ensure the job is done right.

R0013655191

Many people decide to upgrade from their apartments or condominiums out of a need for more space. But even after moving into a new home, homeowners may soon begin to outgrow the room they have. Rather than looking for a new home, some homeowners consider expansion. Expanding a living space can be expensive, and a more affordable option may be converting existing basement or garage space into something more livable. Garages already are built on a foundation, have four walls and a roof overhead, so a garage-conversion project is merely a matter of turning this utilitarian area into a living space. Before beginning the renovation, homeowners should consider the benefits versus the cost of converting the garage. For those who are planning to grow old in a house, a garage conversion can be a worthy investment. But those who intend to sell their homes rather than retire in them may learn that a converted garage can affect home value and make it less desireable at resale. Compare your home to others in the area and see what your neighbors have done. If converted garages are the norm where you live, your own renovation may fit in with others. Always apply for the proper permits and learn the zoning laws to see if a garage conversion is acceptable in your town or city. It’s best to go by the book so that work can be done in a proper manner and be inspected for safety. Many homeowners hope their garage-conversion projects will make their garages seem like a seamless part of the rest of the house. To do so, you will need to remove evidence the space was once a garage. Slab floor will need to be raised and insulated. Walls also will need to be insulated and finished to improve comfort and soundproofing. Many garages do not have windows, so for the garage to function as a renovated space, windows may need to be added. One of the biggest transformations will come by way of modifying the garage door

The relationship between paint and mood Painting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to transform the look of a space. The colors homeowners choose for their walls can give rooms their own unique feel and even affect the moods of the people within them. Finding the right shade for a bedroom or kitchen involves more than just selecting the first color that catches your eye. Design experts and psychologists alike say it may be worthwhile to choose a color that helps you feel good rather than just following design trends. The paint color you pick may add energy to a space or create a tranquil retreat where you can unwind at the end of the day. Blue To create a spa-like environment and a more serene space, look to shades of blue in soft variations. Cool blues

are soothing colors that can help lower stress levels and promote sleep. That’s why blue is a frequent fixture in bedrooms and bathrooms. Just be advised that too much blue can make a room appear cold and stark, so balance out blue with some warmer accents. Orange Many people do not immediately consider bright orange for their homes, but when used as an accent shade, orange can really brighten up a home. Orange is considered a shade that expands creativity and imparts a youthful appeal to a space. Consider an orange accent wall or a burst of color with orange throw pillows. If pumpkin orange is a little too bold for you, tone it down by choosing a more pastel, peachy hue, which is equally warm and energizing.

Red Red stimulates energy and appetite, which is why the shade is so popular in restaurants and home dining spaces. Red is a good choice for social gathering rooms but may not be the wisest choice for a bedroom, as the color may prove overstimulating. Green Green can evoke composure and tranquility and works in any room of the house. Since green is the primary color of nature, it also works well for those people who want to bring some of the outdoors inside and work with the fresh starts and new growth that green can inspire. To make green feel less subdued and sleepy, work with its complementary opposite, red, by using a few bold red accents here and there to balance out the tranquility of green. Purple People have long related purple to royalty, and this dramatic color can add a formal, regal aspect to a home depending on the hue. Purple also may help stimulate the creative side of the brain. In paler shades of lavender, purple can seem almost ethereal and spiritual. Some designers suggest avoiding purple in a bedroom because that is a place you want your brain to rest rather than be stimulated. Yellow Few colors are more vibrant than yellow, which can help stimulate conversation and make thoughts more focused. A luminous shade of yellow is an ideal way to make any space more welcoming and bright. Just use it sparingly, as too much yellow may not be a good thing. Yellow accents mixed with touches of purple can offer the balance needed to prevent yellow rooms from overwhelming residents and guests. Home decorators should keep in mind that colors can be blended to create the desired environment. A color scheme based on complementary colors, or those opposite on the color wheel, may fit. Otherwise, analogous color schemes, or those colors that are next to one another on the color wheel, can create a variation that suits your design needs.

Add curb appeal to your property

Many people are familiar with the idea that a strong first impression can go a long way. While that idea is most often referenced in regard to personal interactions, it’s also applicable to real estate. When selling a home, homeowners who emphasize curb appeal may find it far easier to sell their homes. Curb appeal refers to the impression a home’s exterior makes on people seeing the home for the first time. In 2014, the online real estate database Zillow® surveyed real estate agents and found that curb appeal was one of the five most

important factors when selling a home. Projects that improve curb appeal can be vast undertakings or simpler projects, and the following are a handful of projects to improve a home’s curb appeal that run the gamut from simple to complex. • Clean up the yard. Cleaning up the yard is among the simpler yet most effective projects to improve a home’s curb appeal. When selling their homes, homeowners should clear the yard of any clutter, including kids’ toys, grass clippings or items that might be scattered throughout the yard. A cluttered

yard suggests homeowners do not care much about their home’s appearance, and that may lead buyers to think that indifference extended to maintaining the home’s interior as well. Many buyers will ignore properties without any external aesthetic appeal, but cleaning up the yard does not require much effort or expense on the part of sellers. • Make the main entryway more inviting. Creating a more inviting entryway won’t be as simple as cleaning up the yard, but it can help create a strong first impression without breaking the bank. To begin, remove plants and fur-

niture from the front porch or area surrounding the doorway, as such items can create a cluttered feel. If the front door is old, replace it. Custom doors may be expensive, but they might add the wow factor buyers are looking for. If a new door is beyond your means or just unnecessary, repaint the door, ideally in a color that complements the color of your home and the surrounding landscape. • Address pavement problems. Paving problems are not necessarily an expensive fix, but the cost of repairing driveways and walkways can add up if it’s been awhile since these areas were refurbished. Still, one of the first things buyers will notice when getting out of their cars is the ground they’re walking

on, so patch and repair or even replace driveways and walkways that have fallen into disrepair. • Add or upgrade outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces also can set a property apart from others on the market. A recent study from the National Association of Realtors found that buyers would not hesitate to pay asking price for homes with outdoor living spaces. When adding or upgrading outdoor living spaces, try to depersonalize the spaces as much as possible, as buyers want to picture themselves, and not the sellers, enjoying these areas. Include some comfortable furniture, adequate lighting and a dining area in your outdoor living space as well.

4781 GERMAN ROAD • $429,900

Kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects tend to make great investments, earning homeowners significant returns when they sell their homes down the road. But flooring upgrades are another home renovation project that can attract attention and help sellers when they put their homes on the market. Home flooring options abound, and it is easy to get excited and overwhelmed about flooring renovation projects. When choosing new flooring materials, homeowners should keep in mind the latest consumer trends, as those trends might help them recoup more of their flooring investment down the road. One popular flooring trend is the use of sustainable materials. In addition to the more widely known benefits of choosing sustainable flooring, such as protecting natural resources and reducing a home’s carbon footprint, sustainable flooring can help reduce indoor air pollution. Various studies from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have shown that indoor air pollutant levels may be higher indoors than outdoors. A major contributor to indoor air pollution are the volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, being off-gassed by carpeting and other flooring in a home. Flooring manufacturers and designers are embracing the green design and remodeling movement. Today there are many beautiful and sustainable eco-flooring options. Here are some of the more popular materials. • Bamboo: Contrary to popular belief, bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It is a fast-growing grass, and that makes it a smart choice in many design applications. Also, unlike wood, which will absorb moisture and can warp, bamboo repels water and can be used for flooring in areas where one wouldn’t think to put wood, such as in bathrooms, en-

tryways or mudrooms. Bamboo is naturally very light in color, but can be stained in many different hues to give homeowners more options. • Green carpeting: Consumers can now find a wide range of sustainable carpets and rugs that are available at competitive prices. Wool carpets made with undyed or vegetabledyed yarns and minimal glues are some options. Some carpets are even made from recycled content, such as rubber and plastics. Water-based, low-VOC adhesives paired with recycled cotton padding can reduce the toxicity and impact of carpeting even further. • Cork: Growing in popularity, cork is a material harvested from the bark of cork trees found in the forests of the Mediterranean. The bark grows back every three years, so it is a handy renewable resource. Cork boasts fireretardant properties and may naturally repel insects. It can usually be stained to suit various color schemes. • Rubber: Rubber flooring may call to mind fitness gyms and playground safety substrate, but it’s also slowly finding its way into homes. Made from recycled tires, rubber flooring is flexible underfoot and can be long-lasting and colorful. • Reclaimed wood: Rather than purchasing brand new hardwood planks for flooring, homeowners can opt for reclaimed wood reused from other building applications. After some sanding, staining and finishing, reclaimed wood provides homeowners with the opportunity to choose traditional hardwood flooring without any concerns about deforestation. Eco-friendly flooring materials continue to evolve and can be smart choices in today’s homes.

Tips for first-time home buyers Buying a home for the first time is an exciting period in a person’s life. Deciding to buy a home often indicates buyers are ready to establish firm roots in a community where they can see themselves living for years to come. The process of buying a home is rarely easy, and first-time buyers may feel overwhelmed at times. Such feelings are perfectly normal and felt by first-time buyers regardless of their budgets or home preferences. But there are a few ways to make buying a home more enjoyable than it is nervewracking. • Examine your finances. The first step toward buying a home has nothing to do with deciding if you prefer a craftsman- or Tudor-style home. Before you even begin your search for a home, carefully examine your finances to determine how much is coming in and how much is going out of your household each month. Figure out how much debt you are currently carrying, be it student loan, automotive, consumer or any other types of debt. Order a credit report so you can see how prospective lenders are likely to see you, and address any errors you find on the report before meeting with any lenders. Peruse past bank statements to track your spending habits, looking for areas where you might be able to scale back if need be. • Be prepared when visiting lenders. Prospective borrowers can make the home-buying process go smoothly by having all of the necessary documentation ready when visiting potential lenders. Many mortgage lenders will want

house hunting. Many first-time home buyers might not realize the benefits of securing financing before they begin looking for a home. Mortgage preapproval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, preapproval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer. • Work with a local real estate

When shopping for a home, it’s easy for buyers to fall in love with a property. A wellmaintained home with updated features can be hard to resist, but buyers must consider more than just a home’s appearance before submitting an offer. One variable prospective home buyers tend to value more highly than others is the neighborhood where they will ultimately choose to live. Many buyers even value neighborhoods more than homes, feeling they can always fix a home but cannot necessarily fix an undesirable neighborhood. When considering which neighborhood to begin a home search, buyers should research a host of factors.

Crime Crime statistics are public domain, meaning buyers can examine crime figures for any neighborhood where they are considering buying a home. Some real estate websites list neighborhood crime ratings among the information they offer about a given property. In addition, buyers interested in learning about crime in a given neighborhood can visit a site such as CrimeReports.com to access data on crimes committed near a particular address. Home values Home values are another factor to consider when choosing a neighborhood in which to buy a home. Buyers can work with a local realtor to find a neighborhood or area where real estate prices are trending upwards. While buyers might be able to find a great deal on a home in a neighborhood where home prices are dropping, it’s important to remember those home prices are dropping for a reason. Work with your realtor to find a neighborhood where you can afford a home and where

property values are not in decline. Realtors will have access to recent sales figures so you can get an idea of whether a neighborhood is trending upward or in decline. Amenities The proximity of amenities such as shopping, restaurants and parks is attractive to many buyers, and that’s something all buyers should consider before buying a home. Even if you prefer a home in a remote location, that could limit your market of buyers when you want to sell the home down the road. While your own comfort and preferences should ultimately prevail over potential resale value, it’s important that you at least consider access to amenities before making a decision. You might be able to find a compromise in a home that is a short drive away from a town center, but still remote enough that you are not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Commute Quality of life is heavily influenced by commute time. Many men and women feel their quality of life improves dramatically the shorter their daily commute is. When considering a particular neighborhood, do a test run before making an offer on a home. Wake up early and drive to the area where you are thinking of buying, and then commute from there during rush hour. Also, do the reverse commute come quitting time. You might be able to get an estimated commute time online, but a test run can give you a more accurate idea of what your daily trips to and from the office will be like. Choosing a neighborhood where you will enjoy living requires some forethought and research.
