“She was amazing in every way” Friends fondly remember Odessa homicide victim Nicole Guimond

By Cris Vilela

News - The small community of Odessa was shaken on Valentine’s Day when Nicole Guimond, 28, was found murdered in her home on Creighton Drive.

Police also said that Travis Sayyeau, 24, was found gravely injured and was transported to hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

The 911 call came in from a neighbour shortly before noon on Feb. 14, and OPP, fire and paramedics responded to the area, closing Creighton Drive for several hours. Hwy. 2 in Odessa was also closed as police conducted their investigation.

Upon arrival, officers located Guimond deceased at the scene. The investigation that followed determined that Guimond was a victim of a homicide. Police say there was “no foul play” involved in the death of Sayyeau.

Guimond and Sayyeau had recently moved to the area from Ottawa. According to friends and neighbours, their relationship ended shortly before the incident.

Becky Robinson, one of Guimond’s coworkers and a close friend, says Guimond moved back to the Kingston area in October and started working at the new Iguana Restaurant & Oyster Bar on Days Rd in mid-December. Robinson is head chef at the establishment and Guimond was a bartender.

“From the first day we met, we just clicked,” she says. “People would come to the bar specifically to see her. When you came into contact with her, you instantly smiled. She didn’t have a bad thing to say about anyone.”

Robinson says she last saw Guimond on Saturday night. They had gone out to the RCHA club, where Robinson’s father was playing, for a night of dancing. The next morning, at 11 a.m., Robinson says Guimond messaged her via Facebook. “Happy Valentine’s Day! I love you so much! I can’t wait to see you tonight at work,” the message said.

Robinson messaged back a similar message. She never heard from Guimond again.

“She was amazing in every way,” Robinson says. “Everybody is still trying to wrap their head around how this could have happened to

basically the best person in the world.”

Robinson says Guimond was especially fond of her dog, Dukino, which she had gotten a little over two years before. “He was her child, her fur-baby,” she says, “she loved him more than anything.”

Following Guimond’s death, residents of the Odessa neighbourhood have taken in the dog.

Robinson confirmed that, although their romantic relationship had ended, Guimond allowed Sayyeau to remain in her home. “She just wanted to make sure he was going to be okay, and could find a place, get his life together,” says Robinson, “that’s just the type of person she was.”

Dahlsie McMullin, one of many new friends Guimond had made since moving to the Kingston area said, “She was an absolutely amazing girl. We talked about how incredible she was even when we had her.

Everyone who knew her should consider themselves lucky. We always called her an angel, but never thought she’d get her wings this early.”

Jason MacDonald, who worked with both Guimond and Sayyeau at the Summerhays Grill in Ottawa, expressed shock at the news.

“We’ve worked with them for so long, we’re all just trying to process everything. Staff here is grieving so much.”

The Napanee Crime Unit, under the direction of OPP Detective Inspector Peter Donnelly, Criminal Investigation Branch is continuing the investigation.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

Discount retail giant Wal-Mart plans second store in central Kingston

By Bill Hutchins

News – Attention Shoppers! Kingston could soon be getting a second Wal-Mart store.

Developers Abna Investments and DREAM are proposing to build an 18,000 square metre (194,000 square foot) retail mall in the area of Division Street and Highway 401 on the site of the former Quarry Sportsplex.

A Wal-Mart store would anchor the big box-style development, along with five smaller commercial buildings that may include a restaurant, bank and other specialty

goods, according to planning documents.

Plans show Wal-Mart’s store to be built

beside a quarry wall on the eastern portion of the property. The commercial plaza would

The developers are seeking zoning bylaw and Official Plan amendments to allow a ‘regional commercial designation’ of the eight-hectare site at 23 Soccer Lane.

“Both the City and the relevant external agencies are satisfied with the review of traffic and market impacts for the purposes of the proposed development,” said planning director Paige Agnew in a Feb. 18 report to the planning committee.

The report comes more than three years after the developer first unveiled plans to build a Wal-Mart-anchored commercial plaza in the former quarry. However, the project appeared to stall, in part over concerns that it lacks frontage along a public road.

The quarry site is set back from Division Street.

The developer may have solved the vehicle access issue by negotiating an easement agreement with the adjacent property owner. It would see the existing private lane connecting to Division Street – running be-

tween Arby’s restaurant and Starbucks - become a public street known as First Canada Avenue. The street would connect to a traffic roundabout as the main entrance into the commercial plaza.

“Staff are writing this report and its recommendations with the understanding that the applicant has completed the process necessary to proceed with the dedication of the lane as a public road,” Agnew wrote.

If the planning committee endorses the application then the next step is council approval, which could happen in March.

The application verifies long-standing rumours that Walmart is ready to expand its presence in Kingston by adding another store apart from its existing location on Midland Avenue, which opened in 2004. Wal-Mart had previously abandoned plans to open a second store on former Alcan lands near the Kingston Centre in 2008, and instead took an interest in the Division Street-Highway 401 area.

Coun. Kevin George supports the commercial plaza development and the Wal-Mart expansion. “I don’t have an issue with it.

They’ve done their studies to see where they can draw their clientele from. The proximity to the 401 is a great location for them.”

The proposed commercial plaza would add to an already bustling north end shopping district that includes the Kingslake Plaza and numerous big box retailers such as Canadian Tire, No Frills supermarket, LCBO store, Shoppers Drug Mart and the Landmark movie theatre.

What’s your type?

Linda Mather (left), an event coordinator with Canadian Blood Services, takes a blood sample from Kingston and the Islands MPP Sophie Kiwala, to check her blood type during a ‘What’s Your Type’ event in the LaSalle Mews on Feb 12. The event provided an opportunity for people to discover their blood types and receive information about donating blood. The event was a precursor to a Valentine’s Blood Donor Clinic, hosted by Kiwala, with a goal of collecting over 30 donations at the Canadian Blood Services Clinic, 850 Gardiners Road, Feb. 16-18. “Did you know that over half of all Canadians say they or a family member have needed blood or blood products?” asks Kiwala. “Yet, less than four per cent of eligible Canadians donate blood. With your help, it is my goal to help raise awareness about being a blood donor and collect 30 pints of blood for Canadian Blood Services – Kingston Branch. There is no substitute for blood. It only comes from generous donors like you. Many, many thanks for your time and for giving the gift of life.” Visit www.blood.ca for more information or to book your appointment. Photo/Rob Mooy

KEDCO review committee tries to get back on track after ‘a thousand criticisms’

By Bill Hutchins

News – The committee that’s looking for ways to reform the embattled Kingston Economic Development Corporation (KEDCO) is promising to dig into the agency’s financial history. But not very deep.

Critics have demanded a greater level of financial accountability from the tax-funded, but privately managed agency.

A sub-committee has been struck - fittingly called ‘Where has the money gone?’

– to examine KEDCO’s expense claims and credit card statements. The investigation will scan financial records covering a two to four

month period over the last five to 10 years.

It’s not clear which months will be examined, but committee members say it’s an attempt to answer lingering public criticism over how the agency has spent taxpayers’ money in the past.

“It’s a start. The committee itself doesn’t have the time or energy to go through all of the months in excruciating detail,” explained councillor and review committee co-chair Jeff McLaren, when questioned by reporters about why the expense review isn’t more in-depth.

He says the intent of the random audit is to provide a snapshot of the books, but hinted it may be expanded if any expenses are redflagged. “We start off with a manageable

Don’t make Highway 15 ‘another Taylor-Kidd Blvd:’ East end residents tell council

By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston East residents don’t want Highway 15 to look like Taylor-Kidd Boulevard with rows of backyard fencing and no natural scenery.

“They were promised a long time ago this is an entranceway to the city and it would be carefully landscaped. They’re holding the city and their councillor to that promise,” said Coun. Richard Allen.

The city is ready to go the extra mile to respond to those concerns by spending an additional $50,000 to include landscaping as part of an ongoing environmental study. The environmental assessment (EA) is exploring ways to expand capacity on Highway 15, a key route for visitors coming into Kingston from Highway 401. The most likely solution will be to widen the highway from two to four lanes between Highway 2 and Gore Road.

“This is due to the significant growth that the area has experienced since amalgamation,” according to a report by engineering director Mark Van Buren.

Pittsburgh district has faced a building boom in recent years with subdivision growth and new apartment buildings, prompting calls to widen the main transportation corridor. The study, launched in 2015, included public consultation where it became clear residents want more than just transportation solutions.

They want improved aesthetics along highway as well.

“There’s a lot of chain link fence and a lot of wood fence out there.

People are a little nervous,” said Coun. Allen.

Councillors voted at their Feb. 17 meeting to spend the extra $50,000 to ensure the consultant will address the “visual character” of any improvements to Highway 15.

“This added work will be part of the EA process and will provide the public with an opportunity to voice their concerns and preferences for

the aesthetic design of lands along Highway 15,” said Van Buren.

Coun. Lisa Osanic supports spending more money to come up with landscaping designs for the expanded Highway 15, which is also expected to address the needs of cyclists, pedestrians and public transit. She doesn’t want to see “another Taylor-Kidd Boulevard with all fencing and no trees.”

Staff will siphon the additional $50,000 from a planning studies fund that was originally earmarked

for the Princess Street corridor study. However, commissioner Lanie Hurdle assured council there is still enough remaining funds to complete the corridor study.

In a related development, council is being asked to ‘bump up’ the site plan of a proposed commercial plaza at Highway 15 and Rose Abbey Drive. The ‘bump up’ will ensure members of the public can attend the meeting while details of the plaza design are finalized. Site plan control, a process normally

handled by city staff, deals with the nitty-gritty elements of the development such as landscaping, parking and building design.

“The bump up is to make sure that with the commercial centre everything is transparent,” explained Coun. Allen.

Tamarack (Rideau) Corporation recently unveiled plans to build a plaza that will provide east end residents with more retail amenities such as a grocery store, national brand coffee shop, bank and pos-

sible LCBO store. However, the developer has not disclosed the names of the stores being courted for the plaza.

“It’ll be really great. It’ll reduce trips across the causeway and also help service the needs of Kingston East in terms of groceries – the things you pick up once or twice a week,” said Coun. Allen.

Commercial zoning is already in place and construction is expected to start later this year once the site plan application is approved.

Editorial

In Our Opinion

A much more welcome winter What a difference a year and a move can make – that was all I could think during last week’s snowstorm or Snowmaggedon. Sure, it was a lot of snow, but I didn’t have to go out and shovel. I didn’t have to worry about going to the woodshed to get more wood to keep warm. I didn’t have to worry about freezing pipes. I didn’t have to worry about whether the car would make it out of the cottage road. All of this lack of worrying made the storm so much more tolerable and I actually kind of enjoyed it.

When I was younger, I loved snowstorms. I loved how they stopped everything and made everything so white and pretty – few things are prettier than trees laden with fresh snow. I liked tobogganing

and walking in the snow and playing with our family dog outside.

As I got older, I didn’t mind going out in the snow and helping my dad with a bit of the shovelling around the house. It was never annoying and I was happy to help. I still thought that winter was beautiful and I didn’t mind the cold so much either.

All of this changed when I got older and moved to the cottage with Korey. The ďŹ rst winter there wasn’t so bad. We had some minor issues, but nothing terrible.

The second winter and third (last) were quite a bit worse and they ultimately broke us and made me despise winter in general.

I’ve written about this before in columns so I won’t repeat myself, but they were bad and I dreaded hearing about another storm or cold weather alert all winter. All I could think about was the snow we’d have to clear in order to leave the house or the amount of wood we’d have to burn to try and stay warm. Not fun.

The were only a couple things that made winter tolerable at the cottage; one was thinking about how wonderful the

rest of the year was there, but even that was little compensation after a while.

The other was how beautiful it was during the winter, which made it a bit better, but when you are wearing ďŹ ve layers of clothes, stoking the ďŹ re constantly, closing the blinds to keep the warmth in and still cold, it is hard to enjoy the beauty.

This winter, in our new apartment, I ďŹ nally feel like my relationship with winter is levelling out. It helps that it has been a relatively easy winter, until last week, and that in just over a month it will be over, but it is also nice to be able to turn the thermostat up if I feel cold and to go outside and only have to clear the car off.

Winter deďŹ nitely isn’t my favourite season and like many people I loathe the shorter and darker days, but I feel like now I can tolerate the season and it doesn’t feel as long and endless as it did at the cottage. I’m sure in the summer I may be missing the lake and feeling like the apartment is too closed off, but for now, I feel like the trade off is worth it.

Perhaps the lack of schmmooozze is because your margins are tight, but I work hard for my money (like you) and really don’t enjoy shopping. So if I make a special trip downtown and stop in your store, I would like some decent customer service please.

On my last trip downtown I fell in love with a really special piece of jewelry. Since I needed time to

think about the potential purchase, I asked the sales person if they ship - they do! But at a cost. Since the piece was quite pricey, I asked if the shipping fee could be waived as it is difficult to get downtown right now. Suddenly there was a straight out “No!� and they walked away.

Where was the flexibility of a proper sales person? Why did they not offer me 50 per cent off the shipping fee or instead a coupon for 20 per cent of a summer sale, for example, as a compromise?

And OMG! I love ordering food from Just Eat - it’s a great service in the bigger cities. However, here in

What exactly is a ‘real journalist’?

Editorial - It’s easy enough for Canadians who typically hold more mainstream views to disagree with many of Ezra Levant’s opinions. In fact, it can be said that former Sun Media columnist and television personality has made a living out of getting under people’s skin.

For example, the noted contrarian has historically argued against universal health care, public pensions and the labour union movement. More recently, he has promoted the views that climate change is a scam, and that many of those “posing� as Syrian refugees may, in fact, be terrorists.

But the self-described ‘lawyer, author and all-trouble maker’ and head of the conservative news start-up therebel.media won a signiďŹ cant battle last week when his publication’s correspondents were allowed back into the Alberta legislature after being summarily banned just two short days before on the rather specious grounds that they were ‘not real journalists.’ Not real journalists? Is there some governing body, such as those of lawyers, doctors, teachers and accountants that administers aptitude tests and determines who is and is not a true journalist? The answer is no, and even if you disagree with Levant’s politics, it’s difďŹ cult to argue with the point that his reporters have as much of a right to cover the happenings of the legislature as any other member of the press.

Furthermore, professional associations such as law societies and teachers’ colleges typically police themselves, revoking licenses of those who do not comply with the rules and regulations of their trade. Journalists disciplining each other for their determinations with respect to what is and what is not news? That sounds vaguely‌fascist, for lack of a better word.

The truth is that as much as traditionalists don’t want to admit it, technology has forever changed the way we produce and consume news, and will no doubt continue to do so. Most people nowadays have access super-high quality audio and video recording devices in the palms of their hands - the kind reporters of 30 years ago could only have dreamed of. And news publishers are still going to want to pay for someone’s ďŹ rsthand scoop.

Plus, when it comes to journalism, politics just comes with the territory. Don’t be fooled - it was always thus. The only difference is that now, thanks to the Internet and social media, non-mainstream thinkers at both ends of the political spectrum are able to ďŹ nd more visible platforms.

Kingston, if I order something from downtown to be delivered (because parking is tough) - I immediately get a call from the restaurant telling me that I live too far and they can’t deliver. Who does that? Again, I am ordering enough to feed a small village to make it worth their while, but again where is the bargaining?

Where is the coupon or discount off the food if I come and pick it up?

Maybe these retailers are just exhausted and burnt out from dealing with one hassle or another. However, the true spirit of retail is the deal between two parties and if you don’t have the second party that is

why your business is hurting...not because the city is replacing your pipes or the Canadian dollar is sitting in a big pile of poop right now.

So yes, retailers, I am going to take my business back to the big box stores who will offer me a deal. I am very sorry as I know how difficult retail is, but all the great businesses in time stayed flexible through out their whole existence.

Do you think Henry Ford just sat in a shop on a stool and complained about the world changing?

NOTICE OF TRANSPORTATION ENVIRONMENT STUDY REPORT ADDENDUM Cataraqui River Bridge Replacement Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment Study (WP 28-97-00) THE STUDY In 2001, an Environmental Assessment (EA) was approved for the widening of Highway 401 from west of County Road 38 (Gardiners Road) to Highway 15 (WP 28-97-00). The 2001 EA recommended the rehabilitation and minor widening of the Cataraqui River Bridge. Since 2001, the bridge has continued to age and the original recommendation to rehabilitate the bridge with minor widening was revisited.

An Addendum to the approved 2001 EA has been prepared to document a new plan for replacement of the Cataraqui River Bridge with a new, wider structure with a 37.00 m wide deck.

THE PROCESS This study was carried out in accordance with the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the study.

Letters to the editor: Bridge is not a sustainable option The debate on the third crossing is heating up as city councillors recently approved the $2.35 million design cost for a project that is not even fully approved yet and does not make any sense.

The price tag of this project will range from $120 million to about $196 million depending on the number of lanes. Kingstonians will also have to bear the cost of buying land required for the project in addition to other road construction costs including the Wellington Street extension from downtown to John Counter Boulevard.

Several writers and councillors have already expressed their thoughts for or against this mega project, designed to be built on one of the widest parts of the river (1.11.3 km). Proponents of the plan focus on traffic improvements, primarily at the Causeway crossing, as well as reducing the dependency on Highway 401; arguments by opponents focus on the high burden im-

posed by the cost of the bridge and its maintenance that Kingstonians would bear for years to come.

The aspect missing from the debate is the sustainability of the third crossing, which should be evaluated holistically.

One of the main goals of sustainable development is to fight against climate change that is being manifested in the form of extreme weather around the world. For example, the recent snowstorm in the eastern/southern United States resulted in several deaths and enormous amounts of damage. The sudden temperature drop and cold wave in Taiwan has been responsible for the deaths of 95 people.

In the Third Crossing Environmental Assessment Report prepared

by J.L. Richards & Associates in 2012, the term “sustainable” is used 29 times, either loosely or for Continued on page 11

The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that an addendum to the 2001 Environmental Study Report has been prepared to document the proposed replacement of the Cataraqui River Bridge and will be available for a 30-day public review period from February 25, 2016 to March 29, 2016.

Enjoy the Ride.

Letters to the editor: Bridge is not a sustainable option Continued from page 10

technical issues, but it did not assess the bridge environmentally with regard to climate change.

One of the immediate impacts of the bridge is increased traffic between both sides of the river.

People would find it easier to get to Kingston commercial centers, seek employment on the west side of the city, or use different services located in Kingston’s central areas using the third crossing. Increased traffic will definitely increase greenhouse emissions in amalgamated Kingston, a city that, according to Statistics Canada in 2007, had the highest greenhouse gas emission per capita from private vehicles in the country.

The bridge is also not sustainable because it will increase land and new property prices in the east side

and push the city growth toward that direction, primarily benefiting developers. Development charges will not offset the infrastructure costs. Alternatively, if this enormous amount of money, collected in the form of municipal taxes and provincial/federal taxes, was to be spent responsibly, it could benefit all Kingstonians. For example, repairing and maintaining existing roads, or investing in affordable housing to support social equity (the second pillar of sustainability).

Furthermore, investing in renewable energy and hybrid vehicles, hydraulic hybrid vehicles, and electric vehicles to cut greenhouse gas emissions would help us all do our part to fight climate change.

AVIS D’ADDENDA AU RAPPORT D’ÉTUDE ENVIRONNEMENTALE SUR LES TRANSPORTS Remplacement du Pont sur la Rivière Cataraqui Conception préliminaire et étude d’évaluation environnementale (WP 28-97-00) L’ÉTUDE En 2001, une étude d’évaluation environnementale (ÉE) a été approuvée pour l’élargissement de l’autoroute 401, à partir de l’ouest du chemin de comté 38 (chemin Gardiners) jusqu’à la route 15 (WP 28-97-00). L’ÉE de 2001 recommandait la réfection et l’élargissement mineur du pont sur la rivière Cataraqui. Depuis 2001, le pont a continué de vieillir et la recommandation initiale a été révisée.

Un addenda à l’ÉE approuvée de 2001 a été préparé pour documenter un nouveau plan afin de remplacer le pont sur la rivière Cataraqui par une nouvelle structure, plus large, avec un tablier de 37 mètres de largeur.

LE PROCESSUS Cette étude a été effectuée conformément au processus de planification approuvé pour les projets du groupe « B » en vertu de l’Évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les installations provinciales de transport (2000), et le public aura l’occasion d’intervenir pendant toute la durée de l’étude.

Le présent avis a pour objet d’informer le public qu’un addenda a été rédigé pour le rapport d’étude environnementale de 2001, afin de documenter le remplacement proposé du pont sur la rivière Cataraqui. L’addenda sera mis à la disposition du public pour examen pendant une période de 30 jours, soit du 25 février au 29 mars 2016.

still all underwritten by the taxpayer.

In a city where the financial burden of a $58 million capital investment for a Counter Street railway bridge falls squarely on the shoulders of the City, a K-Rock Centre that has bled money from the get go, and a myriad of other drains on the public purse, we need to be very conscious of the ongoing costs following completion of such projects.

The overall capital expense of a crossing on the Cataraqui River will pale in comparison to the on-going cost of its maintenance.

One does not have to look very far for examples of maintenance neglect. Both Montreal’s Champlain Bridge and the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto are prime candidates. Indeed, you only have to observe our own LaSalle Causeway to understand that maintenance of one sort or another is continually required.

This amply demonstrates the real cost the taxpayer will be saddled with, forever.

Variously called a mega-project, and the ‘largest project in the history of Kingston’, we are on course with this undertaking at a time when most households are practicing severe fiscal prudence.

In our everyday lives we are each responsible for ourselves. But when planned megaprojects to be implemented by the City will have a direct, significant and lasting impact on our future tax bills, not to mention the social and environmental issues, we are surely responsible to each other and need to voice our concerns. Councillor George’s public appeal is to be heeded.

With its financial implications, what is this project worth to you? If you believe there is more than enough good reason to pause and reconsider, your councillor definitely needs to hear from you.

Opinions count, and public debate is the essence of a healthy and engaged city. Council members have never been more accessible.

KINGSTON*

Nothing makes me focus on just how deeply governments dig into my pocket quite like an impending major project at the expense of the public purse.

At a recent (7 Jan. 2016) Kingston Council meeting concerning the next $2.3 million phase to proceed with the planned ‘third crossing’ project, Councillor Kevin George was one of the seven who voted in favour of the contract to being awarded to J.L.Richards.

It was priced at $1 million higher than the lowest bidder. Councillor George’s rationale for his support in the awarding of this contract was intriguing. His reasoning included the fact that he had heard from only 5 citizens against the motion. He went on to say he hoped he might hear the opinions of the other 117,205 citizens of Kingston, the inference being they were for it. A good question, and a fair challenge.

With the accumulated consulting fees already paid out and still to come, the consistently downplayed cost of bridge approaches and infrastructure required on each side of the river, and the real, current day cost of the bridge itself, the overall capital expenditure could well top $300 million.

Some might argue that we’ll only be on the hook for 1/3 of this, should the cost be split among three governments. But up to this point the three way cost sharing has been proposed only for the funding of the bridge portion itself, not the appropriations and construction of the overall route from Hwy. 15 on the east side and Montreal Street on the west.

As for any cost overruns? There should be no assumption this will also be shared with our federal and provincial counterparts.

It might also possibly be argued that most of the share undertaken by the City will be funded from ‘development charges’, not from taxes. Indeed, at a recent public meeting in Pittsburgh District, Councillor Boehme announced that $20 million was already available. A little premature, perhaps, as no such allocation has been committed, and for which other projects compete. Regardless whether municipal funds, federal or provincial, it’s

RELOCATION

A pause for some fiscal reflection

Letters to the editor

Don’t build a bridge, fix the infrastructure we already have As a person who has spent his life working in the traffic office at MTO making recommendations to reduce or eliminate traffic accidents and traffic fatalities and correcting traffic flow bottlenecks, I feel I should weigh in on the matter of Kingston’s need for a third crossing.

A single lane of roadway can handle 2,000 vehicles per hour. That is the figure used for any roadway, whether it be in a city or in a rural area. What is the proof of that? Well, there are many examples, but let me use the case of vehicles moving through a traffic control signal.

Traffic movement through a traffic control signalized intersection has been studied and measured for years. One of the characteristics measured is the time it takes for each vehicle to enter the intersection once a line of vehicles gets the green signal. As a simple example, the first vehicle takes about 2.4 seconds to enter the intersection once the green light comes on for it; the second vehicle takes about 4.6 seconds to enter the intersection (a 2.2 second gap between vehicle 1 and vehicle 2); the third vehicle takes about 6.6 seconds to enter the intersection (a 2.0 second gap between vehicle 2 and vehicle 3); and so on until the gap becomes as short as 1.6 seconds between vehicles. Then gaps begin to get longer again, due to many factors, including lethargy. But the point is, vehicles can pass a point in a roadway every 1.6 seconds if the drivers are alert.

So, using 1.6 seconds as the possible time between vehicles, 3,600 seconds (in one hour) divided by 1.6 equals 2,250 vehicles per hour. That figure has been rounded down to 2,000 vehicles per hour and used for years.

Recently, that figure has been raised to 2,200 vehicles.

The La Salle Causeway is a two-lane highway – one lane in each direction. Using the older values, each lane can handle 2,000 vehicles per hour. The present highest volume of traffic crossing the Causeway in one lane in the peak hour is just under 1,400 vehicles, westbound, by my count. My point is this: it isn’t the La Salle Causeway that is the inhibitor of traffic flow in this area. It is Highway 2 at Fort Henry Drive, and Highway 2 at Highway 15 that needs to be enhanced or upgraded.

The need for a third crossing seems to have been justified by a consultant report a few years ago that said one lane of roadway could handle only 900 vehicles per hour (vph), preferably 810 vph. That statement is very misleading. If there was a traffic control signal on the Causeway, that statement may have been correct. But there is no traffic control signal on the Causeway. And because the bridge does not allow larger vehicles to pass through the channel, requiring the centre span to be lifted, there is no stoppage of traffic on the bridge during rush hours.

My job would have been to identify the “bottlenecks”, and make recommendations for improved traffic flow. Clearly to me, the bottlenecks are at traffic control signals beyond the causeway, specifically at (1) Highway 2 and Fort Henry Drive, and (2) Highway 2 and Highway 15. The simple solution would be to rebuild Highway 2 at Fort Henry Drive to four lanes through the intersection (two westbound coming into the city, and two eastbound). That would double the capacity of handling traffic through that intersection

in the morning to 1,800 vehicles per hour per direction from 900 vehicles per hour. For a couple of million dollars, traffic would be immensely enhanced. And the Causeway could easily handle another five or six hundred vehicles per hour per direction.

A few minor changes at Highway 2 and Highway 15 would also enhance traffic flow in the Highway2/Highway 15 corridor.

The bottom line is that there is a relatively inexpensive way to improve traffic flow along Highway 2 and Highway 15 in and out of the City. It is a shame that these relatively inexpensive improvements have not been identified or discussed. I don’t want to see our taxes raised to cover a $200 million bridge when a $2 million expenditure is a very possible solution for residents on the

east side of the Causeway.

Remember that the upgrades to the Grand Theatre were estimated at $6 million. It cost us over $17 million. The building of the new police station was to cost us $18 million. It cost us $33 million. The K-Rock Centre was to cost us $28 million. It cost us $47 million.

Similar major overruns have happened with other projects such as the Invista Centre. It’s time to stop the bleeding. We don’t need a new river crossing. We need to fix the infrastructure we already have, and at the same time enhance public transportation and concentrate on how we can reduce the dependency on the private car.

Queen Street twin building high rise project gets first public airing News – The changing face of Kingston’s skyline is a hot topic at City Hall.

By Bill Hutchins

Homestead Land Holdings Ltd. has unveiled plans to construct two 20-storey apartment buildings with a combined 380 rental units on opposite sides of lower Queen Street.

Among the approvals being sought by the developer; -increase the maximum height from 25 metres to 69 metres, -remove the mandatory commercial frontage along Ontario Street, Wellington Street, King Street and Queen Street, -remove the opportunity to provide courtyard/ open space, -permit 100 per cent residential uses on a portion

of 51-57 Queen Street.

The planning committee scheduled a mandatory public meeting Feb. 18 on Homestead’s Official Plan and rezoning application, but residents have already weighed in on the project through advance letters.

And many say they are not happy with the high rises.

“This is excessive for the downtown of Kingston. I am not against intensification or condos in the downtown. However, the height of the structures being proposed will adversely alter the city core,” said Dorothy Farr, in a letter to the planning department.

Queen Street twin building high rise project gets first public airing Continued from page 14

“The proposed buildings, which are starkly out of proportion to surrounding structures, would destroy the human scale, heritage streetscapes of downtown Kingston,” wrote Samantha King.

Homestead’s twin rental apartments, both with a podium and tower design, are to be located on surface lots at 51-57 Queen Street and 18 Queen Street/282 Ontario Street.

The proposed 180-unit apartment building at 51-57 Queen Street, between King and Wellington Streets, will also include a stand-alone public parking garage with 280 spaces. The development at 18 Queen Street/282 Ontario Street, covering a busy parking lot between King and Ontario Streets, includes 200 rental apartments plus a separate 30,000 square foot office building to serve as Homestead’s new corporate headquarters.

A planning justification report submitted by Homestead says the twin towers support the city’s push for residential intensification.

“Further, providing height and density in the locations as proposed will help reduce development pressure on more heritage-rich areas such as lower Princess Street and the Sydenham Ward, hence helping to maintain the historic image and experience of Downtown,” said the report by IBI Group.

The study also found that re-purposing two existing parking lots on the North Block lands will provide balance to existing high rises on the downtown’s southern waterfront. “The proposed development will help create symmetry across the skyline. Approval of the proposal, if received, will contribute to the inventory of larger scale development along the northern waterfront, helping to create this visual balance,” the consultant wrote.

City planners will make a recommendation to a future meeting of the planning committee based on the public feedback. However, many of the comments received so far indicate discontent with the scale and height of the buildings.

“This is not the right project for the site. There could be plenty of more responsible and respectful proposals that will be a credit to the City. This isn’t one of them,” said Adnan Husain.

“That is an important part of the historic part of the city, and those tall buildings would undermine the heritage nature of that historic part of our city,” added resident Jan Hartgerink.

Other residents say the project goes against the North Block plan that was drafted only a few years ago. It envisioned mixed uses of medium-density residential, commercial and retail with a public courtyard and other green spaces in the under-developed area of the downtown.

“These combined four to six storey buildings with courtyards, green spaces, walkways and the like.

Where are those plans now?” asked Mike Cole-Hamilton.

Not everyone opposes the development. Wellington Street business owner William Bishop says it will ensure the downtown’s long-term viability. “Cities tend to rot from the centre. This proposed improvement not only stops the rot but sets the stage for future developments.”

However, some opponents fear the 20 storey high rises will further obscure views of historic public buildings, including City Hall.

“It is still possible to stand at some vantage points and see these special public buildings as they were intended to be looked at, but if the developers fill the remaining lots on Queen Street with the towers they propose then all viewpoints will be destroyed,” said

Tim Soper.

“These two proposed Homestead buildings would contravene the official plan and would mar the feel and look of the historic downtown core and the downtown sky‐line and landscape,” said Rosemary Thoms.

The city ultimately stands to lose 270 leased surface parking spaces if the Homestead buildings are approved.

Council has tentatively decided to partner with Homestead to build a multi-level garage to replace the lost surface parking spaces. Under the agreement, Homestead would build the structure at the 51-57 Queen Street site, and sell it to the city for up to $18 million. But the parkade hinges on the rest of Homestead’s development proceeding based on its own planning merits.

Dresses 4 Prom continues to make dreams come true

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Daniela Cino may be a second year Queen’s student by day, but by night she is Kingston’s fairy godmother.

Last year, the 19-year-old launched Dresses 4 Prom, a charitable group dedicated to giving local high school girls an opportunity to enjoy their prom without the burden of purchasing a dress.

“I thought that there was a real need in the community for a charity like this. Prom can be so expensive and I wanted to help,” explained Cino.

Dresses 4 Prom asks community members to donate their own lightly used formal dresses to the cause.

“Most girls wear the dress once and that’s it, so why not donate it,” explained Cino. “Giving it a chance to make someone else happy is really great.”

Last year the community response was overwhelming; Cino set a goal of collecting 50 dresses and in the end she received over 200.

“The community has really jumped on board,” she said. “I think a lot of people can really connect to the cause because they remember their prom and how fun it was and they want to make sure that girls who maybe don’t have the same opportunity to buy a fancy dress can still have those memories.”

This year, Cino hopes to collect 150 dresses by March 31. Dresses will be made available at a boutique day at the Delta Waterfront in Kingston on April 24. Girls who are interested simply need to show up and show their Grade 12 student card.

“Last year we helped over 100 girls find a dress,” she said. “It was awesome and every girl that came took home a dress. We had a lot of different styles, colours and sizes and everyone left happy.”

Cino has already collected nearly 100 dresses this year, but there is still a need for more, especially in specific sizes.

“We always have needs for really small sizes and plus sizes,” she said. “We are always accepting monetary donations too and that money goes towards purchasing dresses in those sizes and also helps with dry cleaning fees.”

Between school, collecting donations, picking up dry cleaning and organizing the boutique event, Cino is always busy, but for her, the end result makes it all worthwhile.

“Seeing it all come together is the best part,” she said. “The girls that came last year were so happy and so surprised with the event and the se-

While some girls may be hesitant to come to the boutique event, Cino encourages them to come out, bring some friends and just have fun.

“It is so much fun and there is no judgment. It is just a really welcoming and relaxed environment. We just want everyone to have a great time and get a dress.”

Dress donations can be dropped off at the Cataraqui Town Centre guest services or Corus Entertainment at 170 Queen Street. For more information about Dresses 4 Prom email Cino at dresses4prom@hotmail.com or look for Dresses 4 Prom on Facebook and Twitter.

Over 40 cm of snow fell in the Kingston area Tuesday, Jan. 16. The storm tapered off by mid-evening but left quite a mess to clean up. The Heritage received many great photo sumbissions of buried cars and folks coming together to dig out.

Heritage Week comes to Kingston

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Every year, the province of Ontario celebrates Heritage Week during the third week of February. The week is organized by the Ontario Heritage Trust and each year they choose a theme and host city; this year that city was Kingston.

The theme of Heritage Week for 2016 was ‘Medi-

cal Science and Innovation’ and to celebrate this theme, the Ontario Heritage Trust invited over 100 students from Sydenham High School and Regiopolis Notre Dame to participate in a day of learning on Feb. 17.

Students were invited to the Biosciences Complex at Queen’s for a morning of hands-on workshops in the building and at the Museum of Health Care. They were then invited to an afternoon of talks focused on

Photo/Mandy Marciniak the innovations of medicine in Ontario and Canada.

“People know about Banting and Best, but have they heard about the fact that the pacemaker was invented in Ontario, that innovations in cancer treatment happened here and that pabulum was invented in Ontario,” said Sean Fraser, director of heritage programs and operations at the Ontario Heritage Trust.

“We really wanted to showcase this innovation for these students and Ontario.”

The day also worked to show the students that medical science is built on a lot of history and heritage and that it dates back to the First Peoples in the area and their medicines.

“We are trying to show that it is this long continuum and this building up of wisdom, experience and technology all for the sake of helping people,” said Fraser.

The day also celebrated a couple of anniversaries including the 175th anniversary of Queen’s University and the 50th anniversary of the Ontario Health Insurance Program (OHIP) “OHIP is a big part of Canadian and Ontarian identity and something we should celebrate,” said Fraser. “It is invaluable to us and so many other countries envy our system.”

In addition to reminding students about the importance of heritage and getting them excited about it, the day also hoped to inspire them as they think about their futures.

“We brought in high-school students from throughout the area who may potentially want to pursue a medical career and maybe right here at Queen’s and we immersed them in the really cool things that are going on here,” said Fraser. “We think of medical school as being about specimens and cadavers, but there are a lot of really high-tech fascinating things going on too and maybe that inspired a few kids today.”

A variety of Heritage Week events took place in other parts of Ontario as well, but all related to the theme of the year and Fraser hopes that theme was well received.

“Science is so important and it is under threat. People need to understand that it is part of our culture and can’t really be separated from culture and shouldn’t be,” he said. “Culture includes science and science education and the significant progress that takes place really helps mould our culture.”

Learn about Kingston’s history with new Heritage Resource Centre at City Hall

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – A new feature at Kingston City Hall hopes to highlight that heritage the Limestone City was built on. On Feb. 17, during Ontario Heritage Week (Feb. 15 to 21), the City of Kingston unveiled a new Heritage Resource Centre on the main level of city hall.

“This centre allows us to provide information more actively to heritage property owners, but also people who are interested in Kingston’s cultural heritage more broadly,” explained Colin Wiginton, cultural director at the City of Kingston. “It is a combination of library resources, city policy documents, exhibit material and artifacts to help tell people more of our local history.”

The project was first proposed in 2010 as part of the Kingston Culture Plan. It took four more years for the pilot program to start up on the lower level of City Hall and now, the centre has a permanent home on the main level.

“We wanted to make it something that people can access more readily and it will help to highlight the fact that City Hall itself is a national historic site,” said Wiginton. “It is a great opportunity to think about what our history has been, where we have come from and where we are going.”

The space, which was formerly used as an elections

office, has been fully renovated and now includes numerous historical items including artifacts found during the construction of Market Square, as well as those found during renovations to City Hall in the 1970s.

The centre and its resources work to educate Kingstonians about cultural conservation and rehabilitations and provide resources related to cultural heritage; it also highlights Kingston’s history through an extensive wall mounted timeline.

“We are trying to be much more broad in our vision now and there is a timeline that takes us back geologically to many millions of years ago and what the circumstances were that created the limestone that the city is so famous for,” said Wiginton. “Then we move on to first peoples in this area, Europeans coming and then bringing it all the way forward.”

The Heritage Resource Centre will be open to the public and will have the same operating hours as City Hall. It will also host special office hours on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for owners of historical properties in Kingston.

“The services have always been accessible and we’ve always tried to have that information available, but this is a way to really make it readily available,” said Wiginton.

Mayor Bryan Paterson was on hand for the official opening of the centre and was happy to support some-

thing that shows off even more of Kingston’s extensive heritage.

“Heritage is such an aspect of pride for our community and I think that is what makes this centre so exciting,” he said.

Gerard Hunt, CAO for the City of Kingston also expressed his excitement, adding that this will be great for the city moving forward.

“I say to many people that it would be great if

Kingston could be to Ontario what Quebec City is to Quebec and it is actually happening before our eyes,” said Hunt. “This is an exciting day and I look forward to seeing how this centre progresses.”

Pushing the limits: film festival explores new ways of telling stories

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

Events - The Kingston Canadian Film Festival has evolved considerably since Alex Jansen founded it in 2001 – and so, incidentally, has Jansen’s work.

After spending most of his career working in film – as the original KCFF director and manager of the Screening Room here in Kingston, then later as a distributor with Mongrel Media in Toronto, Jansen began to realize that he was no longer tied to the medium as a way of reaching audiences and telling stories.

“The tools and the means we have to reach an audience are at an all time high, so what I’ve found is we let the project choose the form,” he says of the work done by his award-winning multimedia production and publishing company, Pop Sandbox.

The company produces everything from graphic novels to video games and other interactive projects, as well as more traditional films.

For example, Jansen recently

produced and designed a video game called Pipe Trouble, which explores ongoing issues related to the exploitation of natural gas.

“Most of the work has still been social issue based up until recently,” he explains. “So it would still be like how you would do a documentary film, but the output is not necessarily film. We’ve got documentary-based comic books, documentary-based video games.”

The goal is to use the different mediums to reach different audiences.

“With the video game what we were able to do is engage a younger demographic into the theme issue through the medium that they’re personally excited about. We’re speaking to an 18-34 year old audience, which has the worst voter turnout in Canada, and getting them engaged in and aware of some of these issues.”

Pop Sandbox has also produced The Next Day, both a print graphic novel and separate interactive animated online documentary built from interviews with four survivors of near fatal suicide attempts.

Both Pipe Trouble and The Next

Day, along with Pop Sandbox’s 300-page graphic novel Kenk: A Graphic Portrait, detailing the life and times of ‘the world’s most proflific bicycle thief’, will be subjects of discussion as Jansen returns home to the KCFF Feb. 28 for a special workshop presented in partnership with the Queen’s Media and Journalism Conference.

“The festival has been getting more and more into programming outside of just film,” Jansen explains. “So in this case what I’ll be looking at specifically is the more journalistic or documentary based works that we’ve done…some of the career paths [offered in the industry] and what types of projects we’ve started to move into.”

Jansen says it’s been incredible to see the festival he started continue to thrive 16 years later.

“It has so much support and such a great audience, and it’s a very well respected festival just on a national scale too, which is really nice. There was a stretch around the economic slowdown where a lot of festivals started to close and whatnot and Kingston’s has remained vibrant all the way through.”

He’s also happy to see the KCFF moving in new directions and exploring different mediums through events such as his own presentation. Indeed, he notes that many prominent festivals, such as South by South West and Cannes, are beginning to embrace different ways of telling stories.

“I think that’s happening on an industry level – lines are starting to blur.

You’re starting to see these really interesting collaborations that break down silos and go across platforms. I think that we’ll see more of that so it’s great to see more festivals embracing it.”

Jansen adds that festivals are thus also great places for audiences to be introduced to these projects.

“Work that may not necessarily have a traditional platform, this is where it can be discovered for the first time. It’s great that the festival is getting behind new forms and alternative forms of storytelling.”

You can check out Jansen’s presentation Sunday, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. at Grant Hall, Queen’s University.

Show us Your Heart fundraiser struggling to reach goal this year

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Pet owners who frequent Global Pet Foods in Kingston always look forward to the annual ‘Show Us Your Heart’ fundraising campaign, but this year, getting donations has been a bit harder than usual.

“It has been a bit slower this year and our donations are not nearly as on target as we hoped,” said Carla Caird, manager of Global Pet Foods in Kingston. “People are feeling the crunch a bit more, especially with grocery costs; we are feeling it too, and the snow didn’t help.”

The annual fundraising campaign kicked off on Feb. 12 and runs until Feb. 28. The goal of the campaign is to raise money for local shelters. The funds, which are split between the Kingston and Gananoque Humane Societies, help with emergency pet surgeries, care for incoming strays and general costs associated with housing animals until they find homes.

“Last year it provided funds for us to help a mother dog and her puppies who were found in

late February,” explained Sharon McGrath, fundraising and communications coordinator for the Kingston Humane Society. “We used the donated funds to care for all of the eight newborn pups, spay and neuter them and take care of them until they found forever families.”

Since 2005, the Show us Your Heart fundraiser has raised over $1 million for animal charities across the country. Last year, Global Pet Foods in Kingston raised $5,200, making them the top fundraiser in Ontario.

“It was an exceptional year. This year our goal is a bit lower at $4,000 and I really hope we can get there,” said Caird. “We have a lot of really loyal and generous customers and we really appreciate their support year after year.”

This year, customers who donate $5 will receive 10 bonus Air Miles and customers who donate $20 will receive a 15 per cent off coupon for their next purchase.

“People are really happy that the money is staying in the area and I think that makes them more willing to give too,” said Caird.

The Kingston Humane Society always ap-

preciates funds from the campaign and they are grateful for the support.

“February tends to be a slow month for donations because everyone has done their end of year donations and then we hit a lull,” explained McGrath. “These funds are really important to us and

of course the animals too.”

Global Pet Foods is located at 1111 Princess Street in Kingston and the ‘Show us your Heart’ campaign runs until Feb. 28. For more information or to donate online visit www.globalpetfoods.com

Kinsmen Dream Home lottery back for another year

By Mandy Marciniak

News – Owning a luxury home is something many people dream about; for the past 28 years, the Kinsmen Club of Kingston has been making those dreams a reality for some lucky Kingstonians and supporting the larger community at the same time.

The annual Dream Home Lottery kicked

off earlier this month and organizers say this year’s grand prize does not disappoint.

“This is the best location we’ve had, in my opinion,” said Ryan Hanes, chair of the Dream Home Lottery. “The main level is gorgeous and the open concept kitchen opens onto the dining and family rooms and it is Continued on page 31

Women’s U-19 World Floorball Championships Yes, it really IS a big deal Q & A with the President of the 2016 Women’s u-19 World Floorball Championships Brett Davis 1. How did floorball even come into a conversation for you?

At Moira Secondary School, phys ed coach Todd Crawford came into my classroom and asked me if I wanted to take U-19 Women to Slovakia for the 2011 World Championship and I said yes. We made two quick phone calls, put in the registration money we had to get a team together in nine months.

2. Did you think this was serious?

Crawford told me he was going to make a general manager out of me and I said okay. Next I said what the hell is floorball? We started to know more about the sport, Todd had already coached the Canadian Men’s team and we put a team together and went over.

3. What was your first world championship team like?

We learned a lot about floorball on that trip. We also played against the Hungarian national team. We had to learn some of the rules while we were playing against a Group A team and we only lost 7-4. They wanted to know how long we had been playing and we told them it was our first game. We told them it was very similar to hockey and we know hockey. Our whole team was hockey players through and through.

4. After the 2012 worlds in Slovakia what was next for you in floorball?

We had about 60 athletes routinely playing floorball ahead of the next world championships in Poland. They weren’t just converted hockey players any more. We were taking the best players at our disposal. We thought we were a favourite in the Group B teams, to possibly win and move up into group A. The Poland tournament was a good growing experience, although we didn’t win. We played some local teams as well and the program continued to grow after the Poland tournament.

wanted the sport to grow around the world and they were looking to North and South America to host an upcoming tournament.

We were up against Switzerland and we felt we were going to be in a close race. Out of the 13 votes, we won it 9-4.

5. How did the first conversation start that Belleville could host a world championship tournament?

In 2013, the City of Belleville was in the process of constructing the brand new Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre and we knew how good it was going to be. We felt it would work really well for a floorball tournament.

We then talked to city officials and we announced we were interested in hosting the tournament, Mark Wilson, Mark Fluhrer, Peter Lyng, everyone we met with was on board. M.P Daryl Kramp, M.P.P Todd Smith, Mayor Neil Ellis, they were all on side. We submitted our bid in Prague Czech Republic.

The IFF (International Floorball Federation) stated they

7. Did you have an idea of what would go into hosting a world championship?

I was naive enough to think we could run it that week. I was mistaken. I knew it would be busy in the weeks leading up to the tournament, I had no idea it would be insane about one year out. That was a surprise.

The meetings for media, for television rights, hotels, food, flights, travel, sponsorship, security, logistics, tickets, volunteers, it is incredible the amount that goes into it.

It is a process, you have to give a little, you have to take a little. It is one process after another, but many people are working together to make it happen.

It is countless hours getting things just right.

6. How did you find out you won the bid?

I received a call at 5 a.m on Mother’s Day (2013) that we were hosting the 2016 tournament. I was told not to tell anyone for 48 hours. It was a long 48 hours.

That afternoon we organized a press conference for a few days later and then we announced to the world we were going to be hosting the world.

8. Do you feel Belleville and the Quinte area are ready to take on this challenge?

We are getting there. There is still a lot left to do, but it is starting to become a reality now that we are less than three months out.

To think that I get to be a part of Belleville hosting the world for the first time is humbling. It makes me very proud.

This is the best of the best coming. Sixteen countries are coming to our doorstep. They will be playing for the world title.

It is awesome.

28 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, February 25, 2016

Meet your Metroland General Manager Over the next few weeks, we’ll be profiling all of your Metroland Kingston area sales reps to help you get to know them a little better. Here’s a Q&A with Adam Milligan, general manager.

Q) You’ve worked for Metroland for a long time. Describe your history with the company and what you’ve learned about the media industry over the years.

A) I’ve spent my entire career in media sales, working my way from sales rep to manager to director and now GM. I have worked with directories, newspapers and digital media throughout my career, which originally began in Kingston. I’ve had the pleasure to work in communities all over Ontario, including the GTA, the Kawarthas, Ottawa and everywhere in between.

I have learned during that time that our job is really about connecting buyers and sellers. It’s that simple! We as marketing and media specialists need to assist our clients in finding the best avenue(s) to help them reach their potential customers.

R0013661534

Q)What do you love about working in sales? What initially drew you to the field?

A) Many people in my family are in sales and I always viewed it as a great career choice. You get to directly impact your earning potential - your success depends on you. I can’t imagine having a job where someone else dictates your value or having to do the same thing day in, day out. I am a very competitive person and working in sales allows me to go at my pace, not one set by a clock.

I love being out in the community dealing with clients face-to-face, meeting new people, learning about different kinds of businesses and developing strategies and plans to help them reach their goals. No two people and no two businesses are the same. I love the challenge this diversity provides.

organization. I guess that’s one of the big differences out of the gate. I plan to make Metroland the leading media organization in the communities we serve.

Q) You’ve said that moving to Kingston was a dream for many years, and you were thrilled when the opportunity came up. What was it that drew you to the city?

A) I have always had a love for Kingston. It’s a great city and most of my family members are in the area. It was a tough decision to leave the Kawarthas. We had purchased our dream home on the water about five years ago and Metroland is by far the most dominate media company in

that market, so life was pretty easy. But anyone who knows me knows I don’t take the easy way…

Q) What kinds of things do you like to do in your spare time?

A) My wife, two kids and I are always looking for our next adventure. We are an active family and we enjoying many of the things the region has to offer such as fishing, golfing, boating and other outdoor activities.

Want to get in touch with Adam? Call him at 613-546-8885 ext. 211 or email AMilligan@mykawartha.com.

Q) How do you hope to leave your mark on these papers as general manager?

A) I don’t think of us as a newspaper, but a media

beautiful. It’s a really great house.”

This year’s house, located at 1044 Woodhaven Drive in the city’s west end, was built

by CaraCo Development Corporation and features three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The home is also Holmes approved.

“CaraCo is known for building great homes, but this is a Mike Holmes approved build so the quality goes beyond just what you see,” explained Hanes.

There are only 5,500 tickets available for the Dream Home Lottery and in addition to the dream home a $10,000 prize, a $5,000 prize and 10 separate $1,000 prizes are up for grabs.

“It’s a smaller lottery and that means the odds are really quite good,” said Hanes.

“People like lotteries and when the odds are one in

5,500 they like [them] even more. People also like the charitable aspect of our lottery and they know we are doing good things in the community in return.”

Last year, the Dream Home Lottery raised $280,000 for local charities in the community and they are hoping for similar success this year.

“Our main donation goes towards the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Kingston General Hospital,” said Hanes. “Our plan is to reach $1 million in donations to help them build a new unit over the coming years.”

Last year donations also helped the Partners in Mission Food Bank, St. Vincent de Paul, Council on Aging, Cystic Fibrosis Canada, the YMCA, CNIB, the Loving Spoonful and more.

“We try to make a real impact locally and these are all organizations that are important to the Kinsmen,” said

Hanes. “I think people really recognize that the dream home gives back to the community.”

For Hanes, giving back and seeing the appreciation from the local organizations is the best part.

“Handing out the prizes is great, but doing the charitable contributions and calling the charities is the best part for sure,” he said. “That is what keeps us going year to year and I think that is why the community keeps supporting too.”

Tickets for this year’s Kinsmen Dream Home Lottery are $150 and are available at banks throughout the city, except Royal Bank, by calling 1-800-461-1546 and at the dream home itself on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information visit www.kinsmendreamhome.com The final draw will take place on April 3.

Sue Langlois lives with a desire to create, but her initial focus wasn’t a traditional art form. After university, she found herself in the fashion design field.

“We were designing, making, and retailing clothing,” she said. “That’s incredibly labor intensive.”

She grew up in Kingston, attended Ecole Cathedral and KDVI and then headed to McGill University in Montreal. She explained that being located in Montreal had a lot to do with her choice of McGill.

A life change—children—came along. It was time to leave the hectic world of clothing design behind.

“What I wanted to do, painting, I was soon able to.”

2016’S

ARE

HERE! BETTER HURRY IN!

Where did the painter come from, considering it wasn’t her background?

“Why painting?” she said. “I was always interested in art. I did it at every opportunity I had. When I went to university for English in a general arts program at McGill, I sought out art classes and took painting and sculpture as electives. Then I got into doing it a bit more seriously.”

She said she’d thought of going into a more artistic direction when entering university, but never felt encouraged to do so.

It wasn’t long before she was stretching her own canvass.

“Painting naturally became the medium, and I started to use it more and got really turned on to it.”

She said she often asks herself what makes art important to her.

“I ask myself why people should care about art,” she said. “Sometimes I don’t know or can’t put it into words. I think it improves our quality of life. I think about all of the things and charitable organizations I get involved with. It can be very overwhelming searching for a cure for something. In the middle of all this, art can give us a better quality of life while we’re here.”

Langlois said she’s observed that there are certain people who are born with a need and desire to create.

“Other people who aren’t born with that need, seem to support those with the need.”

Her studio is in her home and she likes that arrangement.

“It’s great,” she said. “I totally love it. My husband works from home, too. I like to just go into my studio, listen to music, and get to work. I don’t do any kind of waiting for inspiration to strike. I like to go to work when I have the window of time. I really enjoy the process.”

She explained that she likes having the freedom to get a snack, check email or simply work on the laundry whenever she likes.

Working at home allows this.

“I enjoy not having to pack up and go very far to get down to work.”

Her work is playful, inspirational, and mys-

terious all wrapped up into one.

She describes her creations as happy, peaceful, and imperfect.

You can find her work hanging in locations like the Frontenac Club, the Downtown Kingston office, and at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning.

She’s hoping to have a show of her work sometime in the spring.

She’s been involved with the Tett Centre since before its opening. She serves on the centre’s Community Engagement Committee.

Last year, Langlois served as a mentor in the Limestone Learning Foundation’s Crystal Ball program over the past year. In that program, students with artistic potential and skills are paired with artists for several months, culminating in an artistic project that is exhibited at the Crystal Ball Gala.

“I really loved being part of that community,” she said. “It put a lot on my plate, but I really enjoyed it.”

Recently, Artbomb, which can best be described as a non-traditional gallery, has started to feature the work of Langlois. The site (artbomb daily) calls Langlois’ work “stunning.”

Carrie Shibinsky, who had worked at the Art Gallery of Ontario for 20 years, started Artbomb in 2011. The company had a vision and believed that artists lack vehicles to help them promote and profile their work. To quote its website: “Artbomb has created a new way for busy professionals to connect with original, unique works of art daily.”

The work of Sue Langlois (listed as Susanne Langlois) has become part of Artbomb’s curated offerings.

You’ll find both scenic images as well as abstracts emerging from Langlois’ artistic heart.

Where’s her work heading?

“It’s developing and changing,” she said.

“It’s developing pretty organically. I feel like I’m improving by putting in more time. I’m working with three different styles that affect one another.”

She said she’d like to share her work with Continued on page 33

more people.

“I don’t have formal training or a traditional background,” she said. “I would like to go in some direction where there is more exposure. I’m also envisioning something more unconventional. I haven’t pinpointed what that is. I have a vision of some bigger pieces being visible in the community.”

She said anyone growing in their artistic expression shouldn’t try to pretend they don’t have an artistic calling.

“Before I studied English, I started in commerce because that’s the program I got into,” she said. “I quickly realized I couldn’t fake this. You have to trust yourself. Finding mentors is extremely helpful. You can really live in a vacuum as an artist, and we need community.”

She said since returning to Kingston after working in Toronto, she’s had an awakening.

“It’s really opened my eyes seeing how generous a community of artists can be,” she said. “We have that support in Kingston. Now with the Internet, young people inspired to create can research every possible program and opportunity. There are so many ways out there that you can gain experience, whether it’s a school you like or some kind of exchange, or workshops.

And now we have a location like the Tett Centre, filled with art and artists collaborating and sharing their work.”

Sue Langlois is living her own dream.

Throughout our chat, her composure changed. Initially talking about her early days in the commerce program and then her fashion design company, there was a noticeable reserve, a hesitation. As she talked about art, her own creations, and the unknown direction of her future, her

hands moved more, gesturing through the air, and smiles came freely.

She’s on the right track, even if the destination is largely unknown. Sue Langlois enjoys the journey.

Queen’s researchers develop world’s first wireless flexible smartphone mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – For more than a decade, researchers at Queen’s School of Computing have been busy creating what they feel is the future of the smartphone.

The phone, which they have named ReFlex, allows users to bend the device while using apps, creating a more physical and tactile experience.

“This is the world’s first truly flexible smartphone,” explained Roel Vertegaal, professor in the School of Computing at Queen’s and head of the Human Media Lab. Vertegaal and his team started researching the

idea of using flexible displays 12 years ago and after a projection study, they created a screen and started working on the flexible phone six years ago in 2011.

“Now we finally have an untethered, full colour, high-res flexible display,” he explained. “We have also enhanced the user interface design to be completely integrated with the apps.”

With the prevalence of smartphones and the popularity of the iPhone, some may be wondering if there is a need for a flexible smartphone, but Vertegaal definitely thinks there is and points to a recent survey done in the United Kingdom by The Mirror.

“They asked whether people wanted a flexible phone and 75 per cent of people said yes,” he said.

An image of ReFlex flipping through pages in a book. Photo/Mandy Marciniak “I think the basic reasons are that these displays are cheaper, they are lightweight and thinner and they can form to your body more.”

According to Vertegaal, these flexible phones could be mass produced in factories on rolls, similar to how newspaper is printed and costs could be as low as $20 each after the infrastructure is in place.

The ReFlex would also be harder to break and Vertegaal compares dropping the phone to the act of dropping a leaf.

“They are unbreakable, especially when you compare them to something like an iPhone.”

Vertegaal also believes that the phones provide a more tactile approach to something like reading a book; the flexible smartphone allows users to interact with books in a way they are more accustomed to.

“This is important because with swiping you can not control the rate at which you are navigating through a book and the mental model of navi-

gating through pages is distorted,” he explained.

“I experienced this when I travelled and used a digital travel book. It was much more difficult because I couldn’t dog-ear or flip through it to find what I needed and a flexible smartphone will give that back.”

Queen’s researchers unveiled the ReFlex prototype at the conference on Tangible Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) in Eindhoven, Netherlands on February 17. Vertegaal expects that the product could be available to consumers in the near future.

“It is super exciting and it is great to see that this is going somewhere,” he said. “I truly believe that this will be on the market in in the next three to five years. The tech is ready and users want it, so why not?”

Noise levels, turbos, and horsepower mods

Unfortunately no carmaker publishes empirical sound level data for any of their models, and no I wouldn’t think that an upper trim level of any particular model would be quieter than their base unit.

That being said, if noise levels are of a particular concern I would suggest a thorough road test as part of your shopping process. If possible choose a slightly used model to test as brand new units are often very tight and quiet compared to what they’ll be after a few years and miles of normal use. Pick the roads and routes you normally travel.

You can easily and cheaply quiet down any vehicle with a treatment of undercoating (not rustproofing) but a thick layer of spray-on tar-like substance applied to the undercarriage. Many carmakers reduce the amount of sound-deadening material these days in order to lighten their products to meet ever more stringent government fuel economy targets. A good check to see how quiet your next vehicle will be is to look for double door weather-seals (a complete weather-seal on

Of all the turbo makers out there, VW is among the best in terms of engineering their products to last. That being said, turbo charged engines seldom will make your mileage expectations without a lot of care and investment. Letting the engine idle down after a run is recommended to let the turbo shaft and bearings cool down to avoid the oil ‘coking’ or creating hard deposits which is the number one killer of any turbo. Even with improved material, and construction techniques and synthetic oil, turbos still need this type of care.

While turbocharged vehicles make for great exciting rides, I wouldn’t recommend them for extra long-term use.

“Brian, Have a 1989 Corvette with standard factory equipment; 350 cid engine @ 245 HP and would like to get up to around 300 HP. I have put a Hypertech chip in the engine computer and have purchased a K&N filter kit and also got my hands on another air filter cover that I will cut out to open it up. I have not toughened the “come from the factory” exhaust yet, and would like some more bounce here and maybe a little bit more noise. It has a converter on each side with the O2 sensor upstream of the converter on one side only; from here it collects into a single pipe to a resonator and then splits back into two mufflers.

Can I go with two totally individual exhausts,

Congrats on your great taste in rides. I would stick to the first option, as it will keep you emission compliant. Removing the convertors and going to straight pipes will earn you a $350 plus fine if you’re ever caught driving on the road. Emission police even visit collector car shows and meets and hand out fines for even the smallest of emission

device tampering or modification. Unless you plan on trailering your Vette from place to place, keep the emission system to the specs that is was originally built to. Even cutting open a factory air cleaner can earn you an emissions ticket.

As most car collector enthusiasts like you seldom put more than a few thousand kms on their treasures annually, I think that MOE should look elsewhere to police polluters, but that’s just my humble opinion.

“Hello Brian, I am thinking of moving from my 2007 Subaru Forester to a newer Subaru Crosstrek, because I don’t need as much space, and I love the higher clearance and AWD for cottage and snow country. The reviews I have read suggest the Crosstrek is noisy. Can you tell me?

1) Would the touring or LTD models be quieter than the base model?

2) Would the 2014s or 2015s be quieter than the 2013?

Is there a way to find the design spec for noise in the different trim levels or model years?”

Hello Brian, I have a question concerning the new small displacement turbo engines, in particular if they are capable of going 300,000-400,000 km without major issues. I’m thinking of buying a VW Jetta 1.4 TSI for my next vehicle and I wonder if this car is a good choice for me, as I tend to keep my cars for a long time. (My current ride is a 2003 Toyota Corolla with over 460,000 km on it).

Do all turbo engines have to be idled for minute to let the turbo slow down? Is this an issue since most cars use synthetic oil to lubricate the turbo bearings?”

two high capacity converters and into two less restrictive mufflers and leave the O2 sensor as is on the one side ($1,600 estimate) or just remove the converters and resonator and go with two straight pipes to existing mufflers. I purchased my first Corvette (1987) some time back and it was done like this and seemed to work fine (I would guess this would cost between $500 and $700).”

Stocking stretchers helped with target practice They hung from a nail on the doorframe just beside the Findlay Oval. They were much larger than work socks, but were the same shape, made of thin wood and with two perfectly round holes in the centre. Worn

smooth from many years of usage, Father said his great-grandfather had made them, and they came from Germany with the few belongings they brought when they arrived in Canada. I knew them only as stocking stretchers.

Father’s work socks came in a bundle from Briscoe’s General Store, and every once in a while, Mother would have to take one or two, after washing, worn beyond wear, and chuck them into the rag bag. Eventually, they would end up in a braided rug.

The socks were made of wool, and Father would wear the same pair for a solid week,

and by the time Monday wash day rolled around, my sister Audrey would say “Father’s socks could stand up on their own.”

They would be washed with what Mother called the ‘dark clothes’, and then the socks would be worked onto the wood frames and hung to dry beside the stove. Mother said if she didn’t use the frames, the stockings would shrink to the size of a pair of babies booties!

I was fascinated with these wood frames, and once tried to force a pair of my hateful beige cotton stockings onto them, hoping beyond hope they would stretch beyond repair. But Mother caught me in the act, and grabbed the stockings before I did them irreparable damage.

Emerson was fascinated with the stocking stretchers. But not for the purpose for which they were intended.... he saw another use for them. The brothers had a .22 with which they went on murderous hunting missions for rabbits. I spent many hours praying the rabbits would outsmart them, but alas, one or two would eventually end up on our supper table. I was grateful Mother let me bypass the platter, and have a couple hard-boiled eggs instead. I couldn’t bear to even look at them, circled with boiled potatoes, carrots and onions!

At any rate, practicing shooting the .22 was a regular exercise for the brothers. And so one day Emerson decided the wood stocking stretchers would be a perfect target. He figured if you could practice by putting a bullet through one of the two holes in the wood

frames, you would become a better shot. Of course, he had to sneak out the stretchers when Mother wasn’t looking, and so one Saturday I noticed they were gone from the nail behind the Findlay Oval.

I watched from the kitchen window as Emerson propped the stretchers on a fence post, tying them securely with a piece of bindertwine. Then he stepped back many paces, put the gun to his shoulder and let fly! He missed by a country mile. He took another aim, I saw the stretcher shake, and knew Emerson had made a hit. He slapped his leg. He let go another few shots, but only a few more hit the target. Why the shots didn’t rip the stretchers clear off the post is beyond me.

At any rate, Emerson was satisfied, and he plowed through the snow, untied them, and walked back in the house, making sure Mother wasn’t around, and hung them back on the nail behind the stove.

It was most unfortunate for Emerson Mother had a keen eye for anything amiss in her kitchen, and it didn’t take long for her to see the stretchers had a lot more than two holes in them. And it didn’t take her all day to figure out how they got there! Brothers Earl and Everett were much too meek to pull a trick like that!

Well! Emerson was dealt with in the usual fashion, a few cuffs on the ear, and sent to bed without his supper. The stretchers were far from ruined, but in due course a new pair of stocking forms appeared beside the mutilated ones. These came from Scott’s hardware, and were molded from steel into the shape of a pair of stockings. I would sit and look at the new stretchers, and I knew without a doubt, as I saw him look at them, and even taking to his note pads to draw out plans, Emerson would be thinking up another use for the forms, other than keeping Father’s wool socks from shrinking.

It was “Three for One” this month

By Margaret Knott

News-The Frontenac Islands Council meeting held this month on Howe Island consisted of three meetings.

First was a budget meeting, followed by a special public meeting with regard to unopened road allowances, and the third, council’s regular monthly meeting.

1 .The 2016 budget meeting: The budget meeting dealt with the Howe and Wolfe Island Fire Department’s numbers with Chief Mike Quinn presenting Howe’s budget overview. One item of interest indicates a $25,000 transfer to reserves for capital equipment replacement . (By setting aside funds in advance, if a used vehicle comes up, it takes only a council motion to release the money.) -- A WI Fire Budget change will see $30,000 placed in the WI Fire Capital Equipment Reserve rather than a transfer of $50,00 from the amenities fund. -- Council reviewed budgets numbers from Howe Island recycling, (a request for extended hours is to be considered); culture & recreation and the Garden Buds.

--Following a review of an engineer’s report, the HI Township ferry budget will include the cost, yet to be determined, of replacing the ferry’s deck. -- Council also reviewed the WI

Your

Roads budget including items identified in January, for instance, the Division Street extension; refurbishment of Simcoe Island ferry docks. --Councillors Grant, and Springgay and PWM Dillabough will review the WI Community Centre Board budget prior to the he next budget meeting on March 14th, 2:00 pm at the WI Town Hall.

(The budget meeting will include a Budget Recap , Recreation, Amenities Requests, Department summaries and percentage breakdown’s.) Public Works Manager (PWM) Dillabough attended the budget meeting. Also- The Simcoe Island ferry fares bylaw is to be revised, at the March council meeting.

2. “Its all about access….” Unopened Road Allowances: Joe Gallivan Frontenac, County Director of Planning and Economic Development, provided council with policy direction for dealing with, and the fair treatment of requests for the purchase or lease of unopened road allowances, and to hear comments on the draft bylaws and policies. He defined an unopened road allowance as a strip of land owned by a municipality where a road may be built in the future, but does not currently exist, a definition included in the Ontario Road Access Act. These are common in rural municipalities,” he said, “due to

lack of density & demand.” By-laws and consistent policies for the leasing, closure, selling etc., or giving away of unopened road allowance would provide the township with the tools and documentation to guard against potential liability. Frontenac Islands Official Plan policy is to retain unopened allowances leading to water in public ownership where there is no public point alternative.

Council members and residents gathered round a map outlining unopened allowances, disputing some and adding others. There were many questions and comments with surprise at how many there are, and the fact that there are a couple totally inaccessible. Further input is expected at a 2nd meeting March 14th on Wolfe Island. It seems that to have by-laws and consistent *Closure & Conveyance* and *Use of Unopened Road Allowance* policies would provide the township with the tools and documentation to guard against potential liability. Councillor Higgs: “we have a trail across the island on an unopened road allowance… Are we liable ?”, he asked. Answer: “yes.” For the present Galivan’s presentation was accepted as information. Township staff will review map discrepancies. Planner Galivan will add information from both public meetings and provide the

township with a completed document.

Interesting and informative stuff.

3 .Last, but not least, the regular meeting of Council began at 6:30 pm with a busy agenda .

--A Retention Bylaw, to provide a schedule for how long Township records must be kept and maintained (Retention Periods) by the Township was introduced. Following review, comment and confirmation from the Township’s Solicitor, it will be brought back to Council for Third and Final Reading. --The township with a municipal drain will appoint a Drainage Superintendant to check it, a requirement of the Drainage Act. Land owners on each side are responsible for maintenance. -- The Township petitions annually for subsidy on the operating costs of the Howe Island Township ferry ($337,567.22) and the Simcoe Island ferry ($238,174.65.) of the previous year. -- Council supports the WI Community Garden Initiative to apply to the Community Foundation for a ‘Regina Rosen Food First Fund Grant’ for a School Garden Project. -- A report with recommendations from the WI Waste Site Transition Committee was deferred until the March 14th council meeting on Wolfe Island, also a Simcoe/Wolfe Island Ferry Committee

report. --Much satisfaction with the cardlock outlet on Wolfe Island. All monies received as a percentage of sales & property lease are placed into an asset replacement reserve. -MPP Kiwala will present concerns at meeting with Minister Naquvi (Correctional Services) concerning OPP billing. These were raised by Mayor Doyle and Deputy Mayor Nossal with her. -- As of Feb. 22nd, according to Mayor Doyle, there will be two paramedics on Wolfe Island for an 8-hour shift. (time to be determined).

Frontenac County C.A.O. Pender and Chief of Paramedic Services Paul Charbonneau will be attending the March 14th Council meeting. -Councillor Springgay announced the WI Rink will close March 31st.

Around Town: Although it was a heavy snowstorm and hard work to deal with it was wonderful to see the islands looking so beautiful…. and to welcome back to our feeders the many birds who previous had little need for us. *Take note: No Specimen Collection on Friday March 4th at the WI Medical Clinic..

Coming Events: * Council meets March 14th on Wolfe Island 6:30 pm * Special meeting re: Unopened Road Allowances at 6 pm. (WI Town Hall).

“A lot of waiting now,” for Kraft Hockeyville Top 10 finalists announcement

By Craig Bakay

eyville game/grant, the bid has increased the profile of the arena — something they’ve been aiming for in this, the arena’s 40th anniversary.

“We got a Healthy Kids grant and public skating on Sundays is now free,” he said. “New arena manager Tim Leprad has done a great job.

“The new website has helped and bookings are up. We even have 120 kids signed up for ball hockey.”

Cameron said this is a big year for the arena and they’d like to see even more programming.

“We want to have a year-round facility,” he said. “Hockey will always be the meat and potatoes of the arena, but we need some gravy too.

“And it’s not just Central and South Frontenac. People are coming from Kingston and other areas to use our arena.”

REDPLUM® IS NOT DISTRIBUTED IN ALL AREAS

News — Although the Top 10 finalists won’t be announced until March 5 for the Kraft Hockeyville 2016 competition, there is still value to posting for the Frontenac Community Arena’s bid to host the game, says arena board chair Brent Cameron. (To vote on Twitter or Instagram, use the hashtag #KHV_FrontenacCommunityArena.)

“The first round of nominations is over but the second round (the Top 10 finalists) is chosen by a panel of judges so the more votes we get, the more our profile is raised,” Cameron said. “The second round cuts 3,100 nominations down to 10.

“But the more people that vote, the more the words gets spread and the more votes we might get in the second round.

The minimum number of tweets to be nominated is 250, Cameron said.

“We had more than 25,000,” he said. “It’s been amazing how the community and media has gotten behind us in this, including all the media in Kingston and the Kingston community.

“But we won’t know until March 5 if we move on and right now it’s a lot of waiting.”

The campaign has been spearheaded by Frontenac Minor Hockey’s Al Pixley, he said.

“If we could win, we would get an NHL hockey game at the arena and a grant of $100,000,” Cameron said. “Ever since we put the addition on the arena, we haven’t had the money to finish everything we’d like to do but with that money, we’d be able to go along way towards completion.”

For example, they’d like to add more viewing space above the players benches and in particular they’d like to make the entire upstairs (whatever that turns out to be) more accessible by the addition of an elevator.

“Regardless of whether we get the Hockeyville grant, we still plan on improvements over the summer including LED lighting which should double the amount of light in the arena and improved heater elements for the spectator stands,” he said.

Whether or not they end up getting the Hock-

Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home.

Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeowners’ investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale.

• Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen.

• Look to paint. One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an eco-friendly home, which is very desireable these days.

• Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away from another room.

Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths

need 30 to 35 square feet for a stand-up shower or bathtub.

• Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic improvements aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets.

• Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary home. Adding light can mean including more overhead and accent lighting. Undercabinet task lighting is a nice touch. Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can bring natural light into rooms that may not have south- or west-facing windows.

• Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor living spaces have become more desireable, especially as the “staycation” has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project.

• Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home.

Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will provide a solid return on their investment.

Host a successful open house

When selling their homes, homeowners can employ several strategies in an effort to drum up interest among potential buyers. One such strategy is to host an open house, which invites prospective buyers to tour the property.

Realtors have long used open houses to introduce properties to the market, and a wellplanned open house can help sellers generate numerous offers in a single day. Whether working with a realtor or listing homes on their own, homeowners can follow a few simple tips to ensure their open house is a success.

• Generate publicity online. Nowadays many prospective home buyers do the bulk of their research via their computers and devices. By advertising their open houses online, sellers have the potential to reach a wide array of buyers. Many real estate agents employ sites such as Zillow.com and Trulia.com to promote open houses and showcase properties, so sellers can make sure their agents are taking advantage of these wildly popular sites. Some even allow sellers to list their homes on apps that buyers can peruse on their smartphones.

• Generate publicity in traditional ways as well. Traditional publicity should not be overlooked when promoting an open house.

A $5 “Open House” lawn sign is an effective and inexpensive way to attract buyers who are driving through desirable neighborhoods looking for their next homes. While the Internet is a valuable resource to promote your open house, the sheer volume of online

listings can make it hard to reach potential buyers. A traditional lawn sign and a listing in your local newspaper are budget-friendly promotional opportunities that can generate interest in your open house.

• Invite your neighbors. Neighbors can be great salesmen for your home and the community where you live. Invite friendly neighbors to your open house and encourage them to chat with prospective buyers. Buyers will appreciate neighbors’ firsthand knowledge about the community, and their friendliness can help to create a strong first impression that increases buyer interest in your home.

• Consider some changes to your home decor. When hosting an open house, you might not need to go so far as to stage your home, but you may want to make some changes to the decor to make your home more neutral and appealing to buyers from all walks of life.

Remove any potentially controversial artwork or decorative items, replacing them with more neutral items that won’t offend or distract any potential buyers.

• Leave the hosting to the professionals. Unless you’re selling the home on your own, resist the temptation to attend your open house.

Let your realtor do the work. Your absence can make it easier for potential buyers to see themselves in your home, while your presence may make them uncomfortable or hesitant to explore the property and ask any questions.

When hosting an open house, sellers can take several steps to make their homes more appealing to buyers

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 furniture 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.

Curb appeal can add a lot to a home, while lack of such appeal can make a home difficult to sell. Homeowners who want to sell their properties for asking price or more should address curb appeal before putting their homes on the market.

Finished basements save energy and deliver more living space (MS) — By finishing your basement, you can gain more living space while reducing the amount of energy loss from downstairs. Basements that are not fully finished typically do not have insulated walls or covered flooring.

This can result in heat loss and cause your furnace to work overtime.

A remodeled basement offers more than additional storage space. It can provide a lot of extra room for a growing family, such as space for a gym, home theatre, office, guest suite, or a playroom for the kids.

To ensure a comfortable and inviting basement, there are a few project components to consider: • Insulation will make sure your space warm and comfortable. For the best results, install a stone wool insulation product, a measure that

can be done easily with the ROXUL ComfortBoard IS. This product is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, offering you a higher R-value and better acoustics.

• Drywall will help define the space and make it feel like a part of your home. If you haven’t tackled drywall before, consider hiring a pro to ensure your walls are seamless.

• Flooring should be water sealed and covered with an insulated material. There are many products on the market, but consider laying padding before carpet or in-floor heating before tiles.

• Personalize it with finishing touches.

Select furniture that can fit down a typically steep staircase and choose items that complement the rest of your home’s décor.
