News – A councillor’s attempt to look for new sources of non-tax revenue generated plenty of static at city hall. Coun. Jeff McLaren wanted senior staff to look into the costs and potential benefits of Kingston building its own radio communications towers, and then renting out the antenna space to interested users such as cellular phone companies. “We’re looking for ways to reduce the tax burden,” he explained. His idea stemmed from a June 2 staff report that recommended the city lease space on a privately-built radio tower at 1174 McAdoo’s Lane. It will cost the city $50,000 up front plus $4,000 a month over the next five years to rent space for its police, fire department, public works, utilities and transit radio transmission systems. “The tower will meet the corporate long term requirements and provide a secure site for the foreseeable future by providing a robust and dependable communications site for the City of Kingston corporate-wide Mobile Radio System,” explained fire chief Rheaume Chaput. However, Coun. McLaren wondered if it would be cheaper in the long term for the city to just build its own communications tower. Also, he says it could be a new opportunity to generate much needed non-tax revenues in keeping with council’s recently-established corporate priorities. “This is the time to start if we want to start

looking for non-tax revenue. Why defer it any longer?” His amendment would’ve let staff proceed with the McAdoo’s tower lease while exploring other tower construction and rental opportunities. It was defeated in a 6-6 vote. Tie votes are considered lost. Other councillors say tying the moneymaking scheme to the tower lease recommendation is the wrong approach. “It’s a little bit late in the game to make that change,” noted Coun. Adam Candon. Commissioner Denis Leger also defended the city’s push to be a tenant on the tower, which is operated by SBA Canada ULC. “To construct our own tower there’s no guarantee we can rent it.” Chief Chaput also warned that delaying the tower lease would “push back the whole corporate radio system a year, maybe longer.” Mayor Bryan Paterson urged council to listen to staff’s advice and not pursue its own tower construction at this time because of uncertain land acquisition and leasing opportunities. “The idea this is going to generate more tax revenues … may cost us more money.” The issue confused some councillors, who argued the city is already building its own $213,000 radio tower beside fire station #9 at Rock Road and Highway 38. However, officials say the build-own option made sense because the city owns the land and the location was perfect. The McAdoo’s lane tower, Continued on page 6

Councillor argues Kingston should protest pending loss of home mail delivery News – The City of Kingston may be ready to take a formal stand against Canada Post over its controversial plan to phase out residential mail delivery in favour of large community mailboxes. Coun. Jim Neill plans to introduce a motion at the June 16 council meeting that echoes the sentiments of other municipalities across Canada. “Over 600 municipalities have passed motions supporting door-to-door service. I think we’re a little behind the curve. I wish I’d brought forward a motion earlier than this.” But it’s unclear whether his motion, if approved, would carry much weight with the Crown corporation, which has already started installing super mailboxes in other cities. Kingston is also slated to lose urban home delivery as the post office struggles to reduce costs in the face of declining mail volumes. One out of three Canadian households still receives direct mail delivery. That means an estimated five million addresses will lose their door-to-door service as part of Canada Post’s five year conversion plan to find cost savings and

efficiencies. cluding Kingston that are watching the Mayor Bryan Paterson says he hasn’t court battle between Hamilton and Canreceived any formal correspondence ada Post very closely to see what might indicating when Kingston’s conversion come from that.” to residential community boxes will begin, but agrees it will become a hot button issue at some point. “There are certainly lots of people in the community concerned about those developments.” He says Kingston is monitoring a court battle between Canada Post and the City of Hamilton, which is fighting for jurisdiction to regulate, or even deny, the placement of community mailboxes in certain Councillor Jim Neill neighbourhoods. The judge’s decision, expected very soon, could set the He adds: “We’re taking a wait and see pattern for communities across Canada. approach at this point. No need for us to “There are a lot of municipalities in- fight a legal battle. Let Hamilton do it

and then we’ll see from there what steps might be practical.” Hamilton lawyers argued the placement of community mailboxes on municipal property in older subdivisions could be problematic because the roads and public easements were not designed to handle traffic that will drive and park at certain mailbox locations. Hamilton wants Canada Post to follow a bylaw and pay a fee for each location. It remains unclear whether Kingston will have any say in the exact locations for group mailboxes, but Photo/Rob Mooy Canada Post insists it will engage in community consultation. In documents provided to Kingston in 2014, Canada Post officials say local

councils will be briefed on the conversion plans as more information is available, and promises community consultation “will be forthcoming.” The post office says it has lost $1.2 billion in revenues due to the shift from paper to digital mail between 2006 and 2013. It’s estimated the mass conversion to super mailboxes will save $400 million to $500 million. The elimination of letter carrier jobs will also produce an unknown dollar savings, while hiking prices for stamps will bolster revenues between $160 million and $200 million, according to information given to the city a year ago. Coun. Laura Turner agrees the Canada Post business model isn’t sustainable, but says it’s bound to have a negative impact on some of her constituents. “It’s sad actually because it will be harder for seniors to walk to the mail boxes. They prefer to have their mail delivered to their house.” However, she’s unsure whether she will support a council motion protesting the loss of home delivery until she does more research into the subject, noting the city has other important priorities than picking a fight with Canada Post.

LDSB welcomes new director of education By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – The competition was stiff, but after a lengthy selection process Debra Rantz was selected as the new director of education and secretary to the board for the Limestone District School Board. “It feels like I am coming home, it is such a natural fit,” said Rantz at the press conference announcing her new appointment on June 9. “I am an Eastern Ontario girl. My dad was military so I’ve lived all over the country, but I do consider Eastern Ontario to be my home and I am excited to work and build a life in the Kingston area.” Rantz will take over her post as director of education on Aug. 4 from outgoing and retiring director Brenda Hunter. She looks forward to working in the community and commented that she has been a long-time admirer of the LDSB. “I’ve watched Limestone and worked with Limestone in my professional life and I have admired the board for its innovation, quality programming and ability to stay current in changing times,” she said. “One of the things I have really admired over the years is the strong partnership the LDSB has with the community and I look forward to continuing those partnerships moving forward.” Rantz, who currently works as chief assessment officer for the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), has held a variety of significant leadership roles during her 22 years in public education including classroom teacher, department head, vice principal, principal and assistant superintendent with the Renfrew County District School Board. She holds a Master’s Degree from Carleton

University, a Bachelor of Education from the University of Ottawa, and additional qualifications in special education. She chose to apply to the position in Kingston after seeing a job posting in April of 2015 and was attracted to the language in the ad itself. “For me it’s not about the title of director of education, it is about the fit,” she said. “I saw the language of the ad with things like ‘collaborative learner, good listener and willing to work as part of a team’ and those things really called to me.” Rantz’s application was one of 30 for the position and while board chair David Jackson was happy to see so much interest in the position and the LDSB, he found the selection process a bit difficult at first. “It was a tough selection process and once we narrowed it down, we had some really great candidates,” said Jackson. “But we needed to look at all of the characteristics of those candidates and when we finally reached a decision it was unanimous.” Rantz is looking forward to transitioning into her new position in the coming months and she hopes to build on the strong foundation that has already been created by the LDSB going forward. “I hope to keep building on the collaborative culture that has been created within this board. For me it isn’t about making changes right away, it is about working with what is already in place and improving that. I am looking forward to the entire experience.”

Large item collection service may return to Kingston curbs – with a twist By Bill Hutchins

News - There doesn’t appear to be much public support for adopting full user pay garbage bags in Kingston. But large item collection service may be making a comeback on the curbs. A recent public survey attracted 1,448 responses to help civic leaders decide how best to reduce the amount of household garbage going to the landfill. Council has set a goal to increase the landfill diversion rate to 60 per cent by 2018. The current rate is around 56 per cent – mainly due to ongoing efforts to push residents to recycle more plastics, paper, cans and yard waste, while disposing of ‘wet’ household waste in green bins. The survey questioned residents on some new strategies the city could adopt, among them; full user pay garbage, collect two untagged bags of garbage every second week, increased promotion and education, one clear bag a week, distribute 50 or 25 bag tags annually, and start a large metal appliance collection program. The option to eliminate the current practice of placing one untagged trash bag or container on the curb each week – and bring in full user pay - gained the least

amount of support. Only 11 per cent said they somewhat or fully support the option of requiring a $2 tag for every bag or container. Residents were adamant that Kingston not go down this road. Among their concerns; it would encourage less recycling, municipal taxes are already too high for the services they get, and large families would feel penalized. Shifting garbage pick-up to every second week, while continuing weekly green bin and recycling collection, got 40 per cent support. Some complained they don’t have room to store garbage for two weeks until it gets picked up. Allowing one untagged bag of trash in a clear bag, with only a small ‘privacy bag’ permitted inside, got 23 per cent support. The clear bag system’s aim is to alert collection crews to the improper disposal of recyclable items, and they could then refuse to collect the bag. The two options to replace the one untagged bag-a-week system and instead distribute 50 or 25 bag tags annually, which could be used at the homeowners’ discretion, attracted 41 per cent and 20 per cent support respectively. The only two options that attracted

more than 50 per cent support among respondents are to increase spending on promotion and education of waste diversion programs, at 57 per cent, and to launch a large appliance collection service, which got a 77 per cent approval rating. Based on the feedback, city officials are recommending a greater emphasis on public education within the current budget, and to launch a study on the costs to implement a metal collection program. The recommendations were sent to the city’s environment, infrastructure and transportation committee June 10. Large item collection for appliances and fixtures was abandoned by Kingston in the early 1990s due to the costs involved. However, John Giles, manager of solid waste, says restoring the service would be managed differently this time. He suggests homeowners would have to call the city to arrange pick up for a large appliance such as dishwasher or fridge, and there would likely be a fee attached to it. “The fee would vary depending on what you’re getting rid of,” he explained. The city would likely charge more to have a freezer or air conditioner hauled away because they have CFCs in them, which requires proper disposal, Giles

added. “Refrigerators, freezers and other Freon containing appliances will cost approximately $15 to $25 per item and other metal appliances and fixtures, such as washing machines or dryers, will cost approximately $5 to $15 per item,” he

suggested. The upside of re-instating the collection service is that residents won’t have the hassle of transporting discarded appliances themselves, and the city could also recycle the metal instead of counting it as tonnage at the waste transfer station.

Radio towers - Continued from page 1 they argue, is better suited for a tower rental. It’s part of a network of towers – either city-owned or rented - that will form the backbone of a multi-million dollar radio communications network upgrade allowing municipal departments to talk with each other. “This will be the last you’ll see. The others are in place,” said chief Chaput, adding the McAdoo’s Lane tower lease represents the last link in the radio tower chain. Coun. Richard Allen says he supports the intent of Coun. McLaren’s amendment, but not the timing. “We are looking for this elusive beast in the wild – this non-tax revenue.” Mayor Paterson and councillors Rich-

ard Allen, Ryan Boehme, Kevin George, Peter Stroud and Laura Turner defeated McLaren’s amendment. Sensing frustration on the divided council, chief administrator Gerard Hunt says McLaren’s money-making efforts will not go unnoticed by staff. “We don’t want to leave council with the impression we don’t want ideas. We have to find other (revenue) sources.” Hunt promised council that staff will be bringing forward ideas and options over the next few weeks to help generate new revenues. Councillors have set a 2.5 per cent tax target in each of the next four years. Keeping the property tax rate that low will also require finding about $2 million in additional revenues every year.

The fifty shades of grey house A few months ago, Steve and I were given a pretty amazing task: build your dream house from scratch. Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. We chose the general design and layout because it was one of the few CaraCo Development Co. homes available in our price range. Then we figured out how much more money we could spend without becoming saddled with an entirely lifestylecramping mortgage and decided which standard features were worth upgrading for the classier looking versions. Then we went at it, choosing everything from the paint to the flooring to the handles on the cabinets. It was an exciting but overwhelming experience. No matter how many times I toured the model house, I had trouble visualizing how all of the patterns and colours we chose would come together in the end.

“Just give us everything that’s in the model�, I wanted to say on numerous occasions. “That looks pretty great to me�. Thankfully, they have folks there who know about design and have done this many times before to guide you and make sure you don’t choose a hardwood floor that clashes with the doorknobs or something. The main thing I took away from these sessions was that “grey is in,� which I understood to mean if we put as much grey as humanly possible in the house we would look and feel like a hip, trendy family. That was all the convincing we needed. “Let’s grey it up,� I said to Steve, so we chose various shades of grey for every feature with two notable exceptions: the floor in the kitchen/grand room is a dark shade of cherry - but not TOO dark, everyone we talked to agreed that would be a mistake since we have a small child and a dog - and the front door is bright red. The red door was really the only decision I had any true strong feelings about. For years I’ve dreamed of describing my home as “the house with the red door�. Don’t ask me why. When they finally put the door on a few weeks ago I felt like I’d accomplished a major life goal. Yes, we

were in the habit of driving by the house a few times a week to see if there had been any new developments. Still, for months we were only able to see it from the outside since they don’t let you go in until everything is finished for liability purposes. On Monday, at long last, we got to see what my door – and the rest of the house – looked like from the inside when we did the “walk through� with the builder to make sure everything was as we requested. If anything was amiss, I didn’t notice. The door was red, everything else was grey, therefore I was happy. Steve and I have never owned a house before, so the feeling of standing in our very own home bought with our own money (okay, mostly the bank’s money but you get my drift) that was decorated exactly how we wanted was exhilarating – as though the final brick of adulthood had been laid, if you’ll pardon the dorky metaphor. We’d been searching for a house to buy for almost two years before deciding to go the new build route, and I’m so happy it happened this way. The experience with CaraCo has been amazing and I’m already in love with our small but stylish “50 shades of grey house�.

In Our Opinion

Don’t forget to celebrate Dad Editorial –Father’s Day in Canada is on June 21 this year and while the day doesn’t have the same history and longevity as Mother’s Day, which dates back to 1908, it is still an important day. Father’s Day has American origins and surprisingly wasn’t written into law until 1972. Many attempts had been made prior to the day becoming official, but none seemed to stick. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honouring mothers, singling out and recognizing just one parent. Following this challenge, President Lyndon B. Johnston issued the first presidential proclamation honouring Father’s Day in 1966, but it still took another six years before the day was officially proclaimed a holiday. Today, Father’s Day still struggles to get the same attention as Mother’s Day. According to a new IPG Mediabrands study, 57 per cent of Canadians say Father’s Day is important, but less than half (45 per cent) plan to buy their dad a Father’s Day gift. That’s 10 per cent less than those who indicated that they were planning to buy a gift for Mom on Mother’s Day. While these days aren’t entirely about the gifts, these statistics show that we certainly pay less attention to dad on his day than we do to mom on hers. In the same survey, researchers asked dads what they wanted most for Father’s Day and while many of us think it may be the latest power tool, golfing gear or electronics, 44 per cent of dads said they want to spend time with their immediate family. Only three per cent expressed a want for gifts or treats and many stated that they would be happy with recognition for their hard work as a dad or simply a day off to do nothing. Dads are often viewed as low maintenance and easy going and while this may be true in many cases, they still deserve love and recognition at least once a year. They want to feel appreciated just like mom and while you may not feel like buying them flowers, chocolates and a mushy card, there are other ways to show you care. Most dads have a soft spot too, you just have to find it.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide West Carleton Review

A simple, 50KPH, tree-lined, two-lane road with bicycle lanes should not be viewed as anti-environmental. In fact, I am a strong environmentalist and I support the WSE. In my view, being pro-environment means being pro-downtown; and the downtown needs this road extension. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

West Carleton Review

Warm Regards, Justin Gurr

I want to lend my voice to support the Capitol Condo and all others like it. This condo tower is pretty close to perfect and it amazes me that there is even debate over developments like this when nobody even blinks an eye as north Gardiners Rd is clearcut of its forests for ugly strip malls. I also wanted to say that there are plenty of us who support the Wellington Street

equivalent to a 1950’s style expressway. The WSE is vital to downtown sustainability and will provide a proper link for transit from the north into downtown (especially after the 3rd crossing is open). Rideau Street is simply not adequate nor appropriate for commuter traffic or express buses. Additionally, this area of town is grossly underdeveloped and needs a positive push.

Shake up your wakeup with Kingston’s first Daybreaker dance party By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Events –A new type of event is coming to Kingston and it hopes to provide a unique opportunity to get your groove on; the first ever Kingston Daybreaker Dance Party is taking place bright and early on June 19 at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, aiming to help participants start their work day on the right foot. “It is a dance party or rave like event that occurs in the early morning,” explained Shannon Brown, community engagement coordinator at the Tett Centre. “There are so many people out there that really love to dance and it seems unfortunate that in a lot of cities the only way you can really go out and dance is at a bar and that is not always appealing to people.”

The Daybreaker offers an alternative to late night bar dancing and provides the opposite. The idea may seem a little crazy, but Daybreakers have been popping up in different cities around the world including New York, Los Angeles and even Tel Aviv. “I love to dance and I have lots of friends who love to dance and we just started talking about that and these parties and the idea grew from there,” explained Brown. “Greg Tilson from the Skeleton Park Arts Festival loved the idea too so we decided to make it part of the festival this year.” The event starts at 6:30 a.m. in the Malting Tower at the Tett Centre and will include music from DJ Bluestocking, coffee and juice from Juice Kik and hopefully costumes. “We are encouraging people to come dressed up maybe in costume or in their pyjamas or

maybe even in their work attire for the day. Anything goes,” said Brown. “Admission to the event is by donation and that will go to the Kingston Arts Council. We really hope to get lots of people out.” The event is open all ages and Brown encourages people to bring the whole family. She hopes to get at least 150 out for the morning, but she knows the event would still be a lot of fun with fewer participants. “I think it’s something a little bit different and it’s a way to get energized and get some exercise and possibly meet some new people,” she said. “I am not necessarily a morning person, but I will be there and I think this it is a good party for everyone.” The Daybreaker Dance Party takes place on June 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. For more information visit www.tettcentre.org

Celebrate Father’s Day with a Father of Confederation By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

“Macdonald was invited in 1880 by Father McWilliams who held annual picnics in the area,” explained Cross. “The event will be very true to that historic event and we will have historic games on the grounds and local food and beverage vendors too.” The Sunday visit will start at Bath Town Hall at 1 p.m. with welcome messages and photos. The guests of honour will then proceed through the town and end at the Fairfield-Gutzeit House and grounds, where Macdonald will address the public. After that, Macdonald will mingle with residents and enjoy the grounds. “It should be a really great day and a good way to end a weekend of

Events – On June 29, 1880, Sir John A. Macdonald visited the village of Bath where he attended a picnic, met with local officials and mingled with over 500 residents; on June 21, 2015 he will do it all over again. The re-enactment is part of the Fairfield-Gutzeit society’s third annual Port of Bath Heritage Festival. The society, a charitable organization administered by volunteers, wanted to celebrate Macdonald’s bicentennial at this year’s festival and when they started looking through history they found the perfect way to honour

the famous Canadian. “This is the first time we’ve done something like this in Bath,” explained Fairfield-Gutzeit Society member Kimberly Cross. “We really want the community to come out, celebrate some history and see this amazing house and property. It is the perfect location for a re-enactment.” The Fairfield-Gutzeit house dates back to 1796 and is one of three historic properties in Bath built by William Jr. and Benjamin Fairfield. The home has been maintained and restored over the years by the society and is often used for events like weddings, parties and now re-enactment picnics.

The goal of the festival is to show what the village of Bath has to offer and also promote the Fairfield-Gutzeit Society. “Our mandate is to preserve our heritage and heritage architecture within the village of Bath and share it with the residents and generations to come,” said David Smith, director of the society. “I think this weekend will really highlight the heritage in the area and pay tribute to a very important former member of it.” The dinner on Saturday evening will also showcase the heritage of the area and allow people to dine inside the Fairfield-Gutzeit house and see a different side of Macdonald. “We have a younger Sir John A attending the dinner on Saturday and then on Sunday it will be an older version, so he’ll age overnight,” joked Cross. “I think the entire weekend is an amazing opportunity to be part of history and celebrate the community. I am looking forward to it.” Admission to all Port of Bath Heritage Festival events is free, but donations to the Fairfield-Gutzeit society are welcomed; Cross hopes that the events also inspire more community involvement with the society. “We really love doing things like this and we are always welcoming new members,” he said. “History is a huge part of this town and we should celebrate that.” For more information about the Port of Bath Heritage Festival and the re-enactment events visit http:// w w w. v i l l a g e o f b a t h . c o m / s t a t i c / about/fairfield-gutzeit-society

Senior housing on Wolfe Island another step closer By Margaret Knott

News-It did not take long for Frontenac Islands Council to pass a resolution that will allow the township to move forward with the proposed WI Seniors Housing project, The Housing project took centre stage at their meeting on Howe Island when Frontenac County’s Planning Director, Joe Gallivan, reminded council of the county’s Strategic Plan prioriies to upgrade senior housing and transportation. That decision was followed by the establishment of a Seniors Housing Task Force and with Frontenac Islands – Wolfe Island ward stepping up first (for 1 of a possible 4 county projects). Following a study process initiated by the county, public meetings etc. SHS Consulting presented a Business Plan for Seniors Housing – Marysville project (March). “This meeting provides the next step between endorsing the project and getting to what we call the pre-development stage, Gallivan said. “ In between you need to make some commitments to show county council your preparedness to move forward that includes extending roads, land acquisition for this and further projects, and the establishment of a non profit organization to oversee it.’’ Council’s resolution and acceptance of the recommendations, once received by county council (July), will allow the county to provide monies for WI’s project. (already set aside from gas tax ?). Following discussion about occupancy

eligibility , future projects and costs to taxpayers, council accepted the required commitments and resolved to move forward. 2. Public Works Manager Rob Dillabough presented his first report to council since his arrival 3 weeks ago. Dillabough said that he had been touring the islands Howe, Wolfe, & Simcoe. “In July I will be bringing back a number of issues for council’s consideration and decision as to what should be dealt with in the short term.” His report identified pending issues in numerous areas including Simcoe ramp access, spill kits at township pumps, and uniforms. Councillor Higgens asked if he was aware of Howe Island ferry issues. A resident asked who is responsible for the HI Trail. (All Council members had issues for consideration). Manager Dillabough said he is only aware of some issues at this time. CAO Plumley expressed her satisfaction with having Dillabough on board. 3. WI “Friends of Feral Cats”, an association of island residents formed in March, want to stabilize the feral cat population on the Island, estimated to be over the 300 already identified. Group members Jana Mills and Linda Thomas sought council’s support to carry out plans to organize and undertake a Spay/ Neuter program for the island. They have been in touch with the College of Veterinarians of Ontario, and

ing Nurses on case by case basis; for transport of Blood products. The number of trips Thursday’s Dangerous Goods has been reduced to one only per day at 6:15 am from Kingston; 11 am from Wolfe Island. (This will return to 2 trips a day in the fall.) MTO and the Township continue to discuss furthers options.

Welland’s Spay Neuter Clinic, to determine possibility of bringing their spay/neuter mobile to the island. If it happens , they are asking to use the community centre building as a recovery unit. Chris Brown and Teilard Frost, local musicians, will hold a fund raising concert (July) for the program using the rink to increase revenue possibilities. The group, not yet registered as a “not for profit”, asked if they might apply for grants under the township’s umbrella. The Township will issue a letter of support for the project, pay for issuance of a flyer ($75) and consider their latter request for the next meeting.

FYI: In advance of the council meeting, Frontenac County Planners Joe Gallivan and Peter Young held a Frontenac Islands Phase 2 meeting to continue updating the townships zoning bylaw amendment to ensure its conformity to the Township’s Official Plan. “With Phase 1 technical corrections completed, Phase 2 was an opportunity for review and to hear from the public what could improve the by-law . We also received letters/ emails from residents. This is an important process,” Young said.

4. MTO is prepared to offer ‘Priority Boarding’ for: * Agricultural commodities, one truck per sale provided the truck is in line 20 min. before trip, except at 3, 4, 5, and 6 pm departing from Kingston and 5:45, 6:45, 7:45 & 9 am departing from Wolfe Island. * Asselstine Milk Transport Ltd. ‘ as needed’ basis June 1-Sept. 30th * Specific boarding opportunities for trailers during Rob & Erin’s Round Up weekend. * Priority for attend-

New Bellevue House exhibit shows personal side of Sir John A. Macdonald By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Information and sites related to Sir John A. Macdonald are plentiful in the Kingston area; visitors to the city can see his old homes, law offices, and even visit his grave. Now, thanks to a new exhibit at Bellevue House, visitors and community members can also view documents relating to the famous prime minister’s personal life. “The documents are all original and give us new insight into Macdonald’s life,” said George Muggleton, collections manager at Bellevue House. “The items are on loan from the Library and Archives of Canada and showcase some of the rare treasures that have a direct connection to Macdonald.” The exhibit opened on June 10 and comes just after a refresh to Bellevue House and the adjoining Visitor Centre. Bellevue House was once the home of Sir John A. Macdonald and has been restored to the 1840s period. The house and gardens are kept much as they would have been during the time that Macdonald lived there with his wife and infant son. Recent renovations have made rooms in the house more accessible and changes to the Visitor Centre allow for an interactive experience. “With this new exhibit we really wanted to take the opportunity to show and highlight the legacy that Macdonald has left behind, especially after 19 years of his leadership,” said Muggleton. “We wanted to highlight some of the important moments in his life

and career.” Items in the exhibit include an old school notebook from when Macdonald was 12, receipts from purchases he made, letters of correspondence, fan mail, telegrams and even Macdonald’s last will and testament. “We also have the oldest known portrait of Macdonald on display and that was painted in about 1842,” said Muggleton. “The whole exhibit is really unique and definitely something to see.” Bellevue House will be offering daily tours of the exhibit and the house throughout July and August and Muggleton hopes that people come out and see the historic site. “By visiting, people can get a better sense of how an up and coming politician was living in the 1840s. It is the 200th anniversary of Macdonald and being able to come out and see some of these artefacts and objects is pretty exciting.” Bellevue House will also be welcoming the Salon theatre group for performances in August and October and will host a Canada Day bash on July 1. For more information about the exhibit, upcoming events and hours of operation for Bellevue House visit http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn-nhs/on/bellevue/index.aspx

George Muggleton is the collection manager at Bellevue House.

Events – After a three year hiatus, the Kingston Kids’ Triathlon is returning to the city and new race director Jason Trueman hopes it will be a success. “We are starting to see the momentum build for the event, but it has been a little difficult,” said Trueman. “The event has been gone for so long and it has fallen off of people’s radar, but hopefully we can get it going again.” The kids’ triathlon used to be an annual event in Kingston. For years it was held at RMC, but it was cancelled in 2011 after the completion of the new soccer dome. Trueman’s kids competed in that last triathlon and while the event didn’t continue, he kept in touch with the parents of other participants. “Last fall, a group of us started talking about past events and getting a kids triathlon going again. We all have kids and we want them to be active and we wanted to bring it back if we could.” Trueman took over the role of race director immediately and after getting advice from former members of the planning committee and gaining some community sponsors, the triathlon was back on. The new Ktown Kids’ Triathlon will take place on June 20 at the Memorial Centre and although the event is new to many Kingstonians, there are already 150 participants registered to compete that day. “We have amazing sponsorship from Subaru

and the paediatric unit at KGH, and we have a bunch of local businesses on board too,” said Trueman. “We still need about 30 volunteers for the day and we can certainly take on more participants, but I am pretty happy with the attention we have received so far.” The triathlon is open to kids aged 4-13; distances for running, cycling and swimming will be determined by age. Trueman is looking forward to seeing his own kids compete, but he is also looking forward to seeing the sub-midgets category, which includes kids aged 3-5. “They are always the most exciting part of the day,” he said. “Some of the kids will still be using training wheels and some of them will have assistance from their parents, but they are so entertaining to watch. You don’t really know what you will see with that group.” The event will also feature bouncy castles and other kid friendly activities, and the water park will be open. Trueman hopes that kids will enjoy competing against one another in the triathlon, but he also wants the kids to have fun. “It really is an all-inclusive event for kids and we just want them to do their best and have fun,” he said. “The sport is very social even though it is not a team sport. Participants are responsible for their own time and their own race, but they are also there to support others and that is great for kids to learn.” The Ktown Kids’ Triathlon takes place on June 20 and registration is open until June 18 at www.ktownkids.net

She kept in touch with Kingston friends and the Dean of her school at Queen’s. Now that she’s completed her Master’s Degree in London, she has accepted a position in Alberta with the Suzuki Society for Talent Education.

When Chinese violinist Essie Liu Zixuan left Queen’s University in 2012, she returned to China to finish the fourth year of her music degree program. She said goodbye to her adopted city of Kingston with a recital held at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. She had a sadness in her heart about leaving Kingston. She also thought she’d played in her last performance with the Kingston Symphony. “I feel like my home town, Yangzhou, in the Jiangsu Province is quite similar to Kingston and Canada,” said Essie. “I feel like this is my second home town. My home, Yangzhou, is also a tourist city, and people get very relaxed in a cozy lifestyle, like Kingston. Yangzhou

has water, a long history, and culture, and the people are like those in Kingston.” She had attended Queen’s University as part of an exchange program with the Department of Music. She was the first music student from her home province to take part in The Ontario-Jiangsu Province Exchange Program. When she arrived in Kingston several years ago, she said her hardest days were the first ones. She busked and got to know people. She says the city is beautiful and the people are lovely. When it came time to leave, she felt sad, but felt that “instead of dwelling in a sorrowful mood, I should do something meaningful for my experience and say farewell to this beautiful city.” So she performed a final concert of Baroque, classical, romantic and modern pieces of music. After she left Kingston in 2012, and before returning to China, she went to Ithaca, NY, and Minneapo-

Chickens were only ones to enjoy weekend trip to cottage Going any further than into Renfrew with the old Model T, meant an overnight stay. And so it was, on a warm Saturday morning, we set out for Aunt Edith’s in Gananoque, with a change of clothes for each of us in a cardboard box Mother brought home from Briscoe’s General Store. Father, and my brother Everett, would not be going. Someone had to milk the cows, and tend the livestock, so with Mother behind the wheel, and we four children piled into the car, we headed out for a trip that would take most of the day. Emerson would have liked to stay home, but Mother knew that could mean trouble. “Nothing to do but watch her darn cat, and those red hens Aunty keeps in the little back yard,” he lamented. Aunt Edith and Uncle George Cosh, I thought, must be very rich indeed. Didn’t they own one of the Thousand Islands? And didn’t Aunt Edith have her very own beauty parlour with the lovely name Primrose Beauty Shoppe on a painted sign over the door? Uncle George, I was sure, was just as

“How much do you want to bet the chickens get first dubs on the cushions if we have to bail out?” Emerson hissed. Finally, we pulled into what passed for a dock. “Don’t step on the boards at the end,” Uncle George said. We soon found out why. Audrey who didn’t know any better, hoisted our cardboard box of clothes onto the boards, and they heaved up at the other end, and if she hadn’t been so quick, our change of clothes would have gone down to the bottom of the river. The chickens seemed to know what was expected of them, and they headed for a little wire closed-in plot with Aunt Edith cooing to them as if they knew exactly what she was saying. She put river water in a bowl, grain in two pie plates, and a couple of apple cores she had in a brown paper bag, said a few kind words, unwrapped Sandy from around her neck, and announced we would be eating as soon as she could find the box that had all the food in it. It didn’t take all day to discover the box of food was somewhere on the dock in Gananoque, and we would be eating whatever we could find in the cottage. Emerson suggested we could perhaps do in a couple of the chickens. I was grateful he said it in a whisper, because I knew Aunt Edith would rather

do away with one of us kids than one of her chickens! Even though it was a blistering hot day, and everyone else got into their bathing suits, I had no intention of going anywhere near the St. Lawrence. Because, as always, you could see the heads of a couple black water snakes just waiting for anyone crazy enough to go in for a dip. I would spend the entire weekend as far away from the water’s edge as I could get. I vowed if we ever made it back to Gananoque again, with the promise of “a lovely couple days at the cottage”, I would beg to be left on the farm back in Northcote. It was time to head back to Gananoque, and I helped Aunt Edith round up the chickens, and carry them, one by one down to the boat for our trip back to town. At least the chickens seem to have enjoyed themselves, and if chickens could feel gratitude, these seemed to have shown it in proper fashion. There on the grass, just inside the little enclosure, were two freshly laid eggs! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

ens and the cat, climbed into Uncle George’s late model car, and the rest of us had to walk, carrying what was left over to take to the island. Even though the boat was big, it groaned and tilted from side to side, as Uncle George stowed as much as he could under the very front of the boat, the cat was draped around Aunt Edith’s neck like a fur collar, and the chickens happily clucked away, picking away at ants, dead flies and a few insects in the bottom of the boat. My sister Audrey who never liked to look different (Mother said it was her age) hissed she was glad we didn’t know anyone in Gananoque. “We look like a pack of Gypsies.” Uncle George sat in an ordinary kitchen chair at the front, turned a key, blue smoke poured out of the tail end of the boat, and we tore out of the dock like a bullet out of rifle! I sat close to Mother with my hand gripping the few inches of the boat that were left above water, and was grateful that at least it was a short trip across to the island that I was positive belonged to my rich aunt and uncle. Emerson and Earl were scrunched down in the belly of the boat at the very centre, and a few leather cushions were stacked beside them, which were supposed to save us on our way down to the bottom of the St. Lawrence.

important as the mayor. He had his very own office in the Town Hall, and Mother said he knew where every manhole and light switch was in the entire town of Gananoque. Yes, very important indeed were my Aunt Edith and Uncle George. I knew we wouldn’t be spending a lot of time in the little apartment they lived in over the beauty parlour...we would be heading out in Uncle George’s launch before we had time to catch our breath, going over to their very own island. We had to carry everything down to the harbour, where this enormous boat, which I was sure could hold half of Renfrew County, was tied up. It had to be big, because Aunt Edith would never leave her cat, or her chickens alone in town if she was staying somewhere over night. And we would be bedded down in the Cosh cottage, which gave me a gnawing pain in the pit of my stomach. Some of it was excitement, but most of it was plain fear. The boat ride alone was reason enough to cause me to panic. By the time we loaded the six chickens, unrestrained, Sandy the cat, and all the food and our box of clothes into the boat, it sunk into the St. Lawrence with not more than four inches of boat left out of the water. I was sure we wouldn’t be six feet out from shore, before we all went down to the bottom of the river, with our bodies washing up at some faraway place miles from Gananoque. Mother and Aunt Edith, the chick-

Chinese musician visits her second home the lake in three years,” she said. She smiled as she held her violin. She looked at peace. During her stay in Kingston, her parents arrived from Yangzhou. The proud couple wanted to attend Essie’s convocation at the University of Western Ontario. She was also giving them a tour of Kingston before heading to London. Essie Liu is passionate about the violin, but she’s added a new interest. “I still love performance,” she said. “But I’ve added teaching to my focus and interest. During my Master’s program, I explored it a lot. I spent more time in researching pedagogy, especially now that I am specializing in Suzuki education. But it is always important to keep your performance skills when you are a teacher.” During her Master of Music Performance

and Literature Degree, there was a great deal of performance practice and studies in research, music history, and professionalism. But her graduate school years were not as difficult as her first time in Canada. “The most difficult time was at first in Canada,” she said. “I have found that the trick is making the transition. There are a lot of cultural differences to be learned. From experience, I learned a lot. I kept myself in all kinds of workshops that helped me understand the cultural differences.” Essie says that when she plays a piece of music, she feels like she is telling a story. “With every piece of music, there is a story in my mind. The listener feels the story, and we have something in common.” During her undergraduate training at Queen’s University, Essie received the Kingston Symphony Association Violin Award and represented Kingston during the Ontario Music Festivals Association finals.

Kingston Interval House launches new enhanced website By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – For women experiencing abuse, asking for help can be extremely difficult; Kingston Interval House hopes that an informative, up-to-date website will make things a little easier. The non-profit organization has been operating in the Kingston community for almost 40 years and while their services keep adapting and changing, their website hasn’t been moving at the same pace. “It was really out-dated and not very user friendly,” said Pam Havery, executive director for the Kingston Interval House (KIH). “We really wanted something that was relevant, easy to access and very informative.” The new KIH enhanced website launched at the beginning of June and after hours of donated time from TrueCourse Communications Inc. and web designer Kelsey Weidman, the site is much more approachable

and functional. “It is a much better resource for people looking for information about violence against women,” said Havery. “It is also easier for us to update the site and make sure that there are accurate descriptions of our services.” The new site also provides information for others who may suspect abusive situations and how to approach them. According to Harvey, many women may approach a friend, family member or even a hairdresser before coming to KIH. “We wanted an opportunity to provide information to those folks so they can support the woman in crisis and ultimately encourage her to call our crisis line and seek help,” said Havery. The website also includes a new section for community donations. KIH receives some government funding, but they are always looking for community support. “We do receive money from the Ministry of Community Social Ser-

vices and the United Way and a variety of sponsors too, but we also rely on the generosity of the community,” said Havery. “We’ve made it very easy for people to give now and we hope that helps.” Overall, Havery hopes that the new site raises awareness for the group in general. KIH offers a variety of services and counselling opportunities, and they even run a second stage housing unit that many community members are unaware of. “It is an 18-unit apartment building with affordable housing and support for abused women and children,” she explained. “Women can live there for up to a year and it is an important part of breaking the cycle of violence and moving them and transitioning them to a place that is free of abuse and violence.” Havery hopes that the new website will continue to grow and change along with the organization now and she sees it as a valuable extension of their services.

“We are an important part of the community and we want to keep getting that message out there.”

Kingston Kobras win gold in Cobourg

In support of Kingston’s hospitals

Sports - With an undefeated record of 6-0, the Kingston Kobras U12 Squirt Rep team struck gold in Cobourg this weekend at the annual Paul Currelly fast pitch tournament. The girls were rained out Friday night and thus had to jam four games into a busy Saturday. However, the girls rose to the challenge beating Cobourg 8-6, then Chat O Cats (from Chateauguay, QC) 2-1, then Lac St. Louis (QC) 8-3 and finally Stittsville 13-5. The pitching duties were handled brilliantly by the trio of Emily Swaine, Lacey Clark and Kingston’s ace, Alexa Oriecuia and the bats were firing on all cylinders led by Kieran Raymo who homered 3 times, rookie Rachel Wilkinson who reached base in all games, and veterans Olivia Gilbert and Emma Parslow whose 1-2 punch at the top of the order set the tone for the rest of the team. Emily Moore, Mary Williams and Gracie Bennett provided the solid defense needed to go 4-0 on the day. In the semi-finals on Sunday morning, the girls were in tough against their good friends from Napanee, but the bats fired quickly and some clever base-running meant that the girls got up early and never looked back, taking it by a final of 10-3. In the finals, Kingston faced a tough Cobourg squad who they’d beaten earlier in the round robin. The girls started slowly, but Oriecuia was dominant, not allowing a hit through three solid innings and after Kingston exploded in the bottom of the third, the lead was 7-0. After tacking on two more, Cobourg made a small run scoring 5 in the 6th, but it was too late as Paige Mackey clinched it for the Kingston girls by scoring Clark from third with a single up the middle, followed by a steal of 2nd, 3rd and home on three consecutive pitches. At that point, the mercy was reached and the girls were golden. The team is set to focus on league play and practice for the rest of June. In July they’ll head to Mississauga for the World Series of Softball and then provincials are in August.

Amaranth Stoneware moves into a more community friendly location mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Amaranth Stoneware has been in the Kingston community for more than 30 years, but until recently the handcrafted pottery company wasn’t very accessible to the public. “We’ve been in a couple different locations over the years, but we’ve never had the opportunity or the space to be open to the public,� explained owner Jo-Anne Warren, who took over Amaranth about 20 years ago from the previous owners. “This time when we moved we wanted a space where we could hold classes and have studio space and parking and we’ve finally found that.� The new space is located at 745 Development Drive and has enough space for the production of all of the products Amaranth makes and distributes. It also has space for classes, a small shop and even a lunchroom for their growing staff. “Until recently we have always been a wholesaler and we ship our products all over the place with the bulk going to the United States,� said Warren. “We decided it was time to get out in the community more and open ourselves up. We’ve hired more staff and we have more of a shop feel in the front of the space now.� Amaranth Stoneware makes everything from clever stoneware gardening tags to dog bowls and as their space expands, so do their products. “We started with gardening tags and then it evolved to bee houses, feeders and waterers. Then we expanded to birdhouses and now pet products and household items like vases and candleholders. We’ve slowly evolved to include more and more products but they are all similar and appeal to similar consumers.� Warren runs Amaranth with her husband, Gerald. She works on more of the business side of things and he comes up with new and unique ideas for products. “Gerald is super creative and we work really well together to get the products done just right,� said Warren. “We take a lot of pride in all of our products and we stand by them 100 per cent.� The new space has brought new life to the business for Warren and her husband and both are enjoying interacting with the community and seeing people make their own works of art. “We really want anyone who comes here to enjoy their experience, whether

they are creating a masterpiece or a pinch pot,� said Warren. “I love the look on people’s faces when they create their first piece. They are almost like little kids in that sense.� Amaranth also offers their kiln to any local potters that need a place to fire their pieces and Warren welcomes anyone to come in and chat about different glazes or other pottery related topics. She is enjoying interacting with the community more and is excited to see what’s next for the business and studio. “We have a new website too and I hope that will open us up to the community a bit more,� she said. “We want people to come check out our products and maybe sign up for a class. We are really happy to be here and we want to share that.� For more information about Amaranth Stoneware visit www.amaranthstoneware.com

Cold case makes for a haunting night of theatre On December 14, 1960, the Toronto Police Department officially closed the cold case of missing theatre magnate Ambrose Small. The theatre tycoon had vanished 41 years earlier. Now, almost a century after Small’s mysterious disappearance, Single Thread Theatre Company and the Kick & Push Festival are keeping his story alive. On December 2, 1919, Ambrose Small sold a number of his theatres for the tidy sum of $1.7 million. What did the successful Mr. Small do with the money? For starters, he went to his bank and deposited the initial payment of a million dollars. According to inflation calculation, that works out to $15,625,000 in today’s dollars. Then he went to his Grand Opera House in Toronto. Next? He was never heard from again. Over the years, as

many theories developed as there were seats in one of Ambrose Small’s Grand Theatres. And there were many of them. Small owned theatres in several Ontario cities, including The Grand Theatres in Kingston and London, and The Grand Opera House in Toronto. In total, he owned 34 theatres in Canada and the United States. The international press in such locations as London, New York and Los Angeles called Small’s disappearance the Crime of the Century. But was there a crime? Small’s wife, Theresa, initially did not even report that her husband was missing. According to materials in the archives of the University of Toronto/ Université Laval, Small had a secret chamber in his Toronto Grand Theatre. Within was a bar and what is described as an opulent bed. It was a hideaway where Small could consort with chorus girls and other women. The secret little palace of pleasure was not public knowledge until after Small’s disappearance. The reason the pious Mrs. Small did not report her husband’s disappearance

in 1919 was because she feared a scandal. She is quoted saying: “I believe my Amby is in the hands of a designing woman, somewhere, and will come back.” There’s a hilarious and Tony Awardwinning musical called A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder playing on Broadway. It’s brilliant and far-fetched. Yet, it seems all too similar to the reallife tale of Ambrose Small. While the Broadway show may have a series of murders and some romantic encounters, Ambrose, the Single Thread Theatre Company production, is based on facts that are more outrageous. In addition to huge sums of money, lurid sexual encounters and the disappearance of a tycoon, you can add religion to the combustible mixture. “Truth,” to quote Mark Twain, “is stranger than fiction.” Theresa Small, Ambrose’s wife, was a devout Catholic who tirelessly raised funds for the Catholic Church. This did not appear to be an issue in the community until after Ambrose disappeared and Theresa promised to will her entire fortune to the Catholic Church. Investigative historian Peter Vronsky reported that the militant

Theatre magnate Ambrose Small, who ran many theatres, including the Grand Theatres in Kingston, London and Toronto, sold his interest in the entertainment venues for a million dollars in 1919. The day after he deposited the cheque in the bank, he disappeared from his last known whereabouts at the Grand Opera House in Toronto. The mystery has never been solved. Single Thread Theatre Company’s production, Ambrose, about the theatre magnate, will be held on selected dates at Kingston’s Grand Theatre from July 15 through August 15 as part of the Kick & Push Festival. Orange Order in largely Protestant Toronto backed several attempts to prevent Theresa from inheriting her husband’s estate. The fervor grew until mobs thronged a Toronto court house with demands that Theresa Small be investigated. However, the courts, the Toronto

Police and the Ontario Provincial Police were unanimous in finding that Theresa Small had nothing to do with her husband’s disappearance. According to Vronsky, this did Continued on page 31

not appease Theresa Small’s opponents: “An underground tabloid newspaper, The Thunderer, was founded, which featured hard core pornographic photographs of models resembling Theresa, posed in sexual acts with supposed priests and nuns.” By 1970, rumors swirled that the ghost of Ambrose Small had taken up residence in some of his old theatres, like those in London and Kingston. There’s still an undercurrent of tales of haunting at Kingston’s Grand Theatre. “The stories are still hanging in the Grand to this day,” said Liam Karry. “It’s not the type of mystery people associate with Canada the good, or Kingston. We’re not known for this sort of thing. It’s really exciting for people to feel and experience these things in a tactile sense in the Grand. Some people are convinced that Ambrose haunts the theatre. They’re convinced that odd goings on in the Kingston Grand are because of Ambrose Small.” This is juicy stuff and great home-grown fodder for Canadian theatre. Single Thread Theatre has taken this story and turned it into a

unique brand of theatre. Ambrose features a script written by Alex Dault, Liam Karry and Daniele Bartolini. The performance is directed by Liam Karry. “They’ll be taking the audience through the Grand Theatre and through time to explore the story of Ambrose Small and what could have happened,” said Mike Sheppard of Blue Canoe Theatrical Productions and the Kick & Push Festival. “Is he still around? Many people believe that Andrew Small’s ghost haunts any of his Grand Theatres.” Karry, and some colleagues came up with the idea of the Ambrose Small production. “We were talking about what a fascinating building and institution the Grand Theatre is,” said Karry. “We looked at the Ambrose Small stories and thought it would be nice to apply that great mystery to our type of work. The Grand is full of history. Oscar Wilde made an appearance. It’s interesting to think of Kingston in its modern geopolitical context and realize there’s more to it than Sir John A. Macdonald. It was an incredibly important port and industrial city in 1919.” And a man worth millions, a man who mysteriously disap-

peared, had a strong connection through The Grand Theatre. “The show is going to be something you experience viscerally,” said Karry. “Things are going to be asked of you. I don’t want to give too much away because discovery is part of the excitement of the performance.” He said if someone is curious and likes to explore, the Ambrose Small production is for them. Liam Karry explained that Single Thread’s mandate is to explore theatre in an immersive way in new spaces and found spaces. The Single Thread Theatre Company was originally founded in Kingston, and has produced site-specific theatre for Toronto landmarks such as the Art Gallery of Ontario, Fort York, the Toronto First Post Office, the Campbell House Museum and Spadina Historic House and Gardens. Single

Thread was named last year’s “Best Site Specific Theatre Company in Toronto” by NOW Magazine (2014). “If you like to discover the fascinating stories and tales about the Grand Theatre, that’s who should come to [Ambrose],” said Karry. “It’s definitely not for those who like to passively observe. It’s for those who want to jump in with both feet. Single Thread has been doing this type of theatre for about ten years. This kind of work is starting to catch on. We’ve been advocating it for a decade.”

I’ll toss another possibility out to add to the multitude of theories regarding Ambrose Small’s disappearance: one of the famed entertainers who performed in Ambrose Small’s theatres, including the Kingston Grand Theatre, was Harry Houdini. Perhaps Houdini provided some illusion that helped Small make a clean getaway from the life he’d known. For tickets to Ambrose, go to the Grand Theatre box office in person or visit kingstongrand.ca.

Featuring

Summer officially lands this weekend and that means vacation travel time for many of us. To avoid the nightmare of a roadside breakdown with a vehicle full of family members in ‘when do we get there’ vacation mode, here’s a few words to the wise. Having a pre-vacation inspection done with an engine oil and filter change is a great way to get some peace of mind before heading out. Most service garages of all types offer special pricing for this service at this time of year and for the average vehicle it’s often less than $100. If you’re driving an older vehicle (2010 or prior say) consider making that appointment at least a week or so before the trip to accommodate any repairs or maintenance that might require extra time or specialordered parts. When packing a minivan or SUV for the trip consider that everything you put in the cargo area can become a lethal projectile in the event of a collision. Keep softer items on top and harder ones on the bottom. Invest in a cargo net or two for easy and secure storage. If you need a roof-rack and don’t have one, a trailer-hitch mounted cargo carrier might be a good substitution. On average they can handle more weight that any roof-rack and they’re much easier to access for the verticallychallenged. Our warm wet weather can make for some extra strong musty odours emanating from our vehicles’ heating/air-conditioning units. Mold and mildew

love to grow in vehicle heater boxes and while there are many aerosol treatments on the shelf for this, the easiest way to eliminate the smell is to use the vehicle’s own heater. If your vehicle is affected, turn the heater up to full temp with the fan at a mid-speed setting. Open your windows and take it for a drive (twice the average workday commuting distance should do). You may have to repeat this over one or two days. The dry heat from the vehicle’s heater will reduce the mold and mildew and get rid of the smell. Spare tires and wheel jacks/tools are some of the most neglected items on any vehicle, yet they can be vacation-savers in a pinch. Take the time to check the spare tire air pressure for your vehicle as well as any trailers you might be towing. Don’t just check the jack/tool kit to make sure it’s there; pull out the jack to make sure it works. If you’re towing, make sure the vehicle jack and wheel wrench will work on the trailer or equip your rig accordingly. When having new tires installed (a great idea before a vacation trip), it’s not uncommon for a tire valve mounted pressure sensor to get damaged. Before shelling out the average $70 for a new sensor, ask about getting just the valve if that’s the only part that’s damaged. The largest valve manufacturer Schrader (whose existence predates the automobile) makes replacement valve kits for every vehicle on the road and the average price of a replacement valve is less than $7. It’s Father’s Day this weekend and some of the best collector and show car events are back. From June 19th-21st the 10th Annual FCA Ottawa Ferrari Festival comes to Preston Street with cars parked along the street Friday and Saturday evening from 6 p.m. onwards. You can fulfill your Ferrari fantasy and be a passenger in a Ferrari for a charity dream ride on Sunday morning from 10 a.m. leaving from Ottawa St. Anthony Soccer Club on Preston Street. For more information contact Giuseppe Castrucci at info@ottawaferrarifestival.com and view latest event details at www.ottawaferrarifestival.com. On Saturday the Italian Car Parade and Retro Show hosted by the Italian Car Club of Ottawa will roll through Little Italy starting at 1:30 p.m. On Sunday the 21st the 6th Annual Father’s Day Show ‘n’ Shine lands in Riverside Park in Kemptville from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is a canned good or nonperishable food item(s) in support of the Kemptville Salvation Army Food Bank. There will be dash plaques for the first 200 entrants, a raffle table, a 50/50 draw, automotive vendors, food vendors and more. Breakfast and lunch will be available served by the Kemptville Canadian Legion. Don’t miss the famous Burnout Contest or the live music. It promises to be a fun-filled day for the whole family. And of course it wouldn’t be an autothemed Dad’s day without a stop at the Billings Estate Father’s Day Show (on Cabot Street just east of Bank Street at Riverside). As usual the spotlight will be on “Canadian Built” Cars (cars by invitation only).

Lafarge shares alternative fuels test results with community By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Last year, Lafarge announced their intention to test other materials as fuel in their cement production plants. The company, which owns a large production plant in Bath, was upfront with residents and asked for their concerns and feedback; they promised to continue communications and share research results and on June 9 they did just that. “We are about half way through a threeyear project working with Queen’s University and other environmental groups looking at low carbon fuels to replace the coal and petrol that we use at the cement plant now to make our products,” explained Rob Cumming, environment and public affairs manager for Lafarge in Bath. “We have excellent results to share tonight at this public meeting and we hope the community will be as excited as we are about the next stages.” The tests replaced 10 per cent of the coal and petrol used in the production of cement with other non-recyclable materials including construction and demolition debris, railway ties, and roofing shingles. The initial tests showed no increase in emissions with these replacement materials and a 70 per cent reduction in carbon emissions per ton of coal replaced. “It worked, just as we expected it would,” said Cumming. “From here we’d like to test further. We just need to make sure that the public knows that before we move forward.”

The public meeting, held at the Loyalist Golf and Country Club, presented multiple sign boards with test results, statistics about emissions and reduction strategies and even a film about Lafarge and their cement production. Representatives from Lafarge, Queen’s and independent research groups were on hand to answer questions and many residents were eager to ask. “I was eager to see the findings and status of the project,” said Paul Jepson, president of the Loyalist Country Club Resident’s Association. “My one concern is a slight misrepresentation of some of the facts on these displays, but if you speak to the researchers in the room the facts are being clarified a bit more.” Jepson sees the process as positive overall. He supports Lafarge’s idea of taking items out of landfill to burn and run their plant. “The products are being incinerated, but the energy that comes from that is being used in a better way,” said Jepson. “Even if there were no change in carbon emissions I would still support this because we are taking things out of the landfills and using them in a useful way.” Loyalist deputy mayor Ric Bresee also attended the event and echoed Jepson’s thoughts. Bresee is on the liaison committee for the project and was happy to see a large and positive turnout at the event. “I am seeing interest, curiosity and not much concern at this event and that is great,” said Bresee. “I think the research is well measured, well analyzed and well-

RELAIS DE LA FLAMME

Lafarge representative Rob Cumming was on hand at the public meeting on June 9 to answer questions and concerns from residents. Photo/Mandy Marciniak presented too.” Lafarge’s goal is a 30 per cent replacement of coal and petrol in their plants by 2020 and this research is only the first step. In the next round, Lafarge will be testing other materials and in larger amounts and

seeking permanent approval for the materials already tested. Bresee hopes that the positive results continue and he looks forward to working with Lafarge more in the years to come. “We want the cement and we want in-

dustry to continue so we need a balance,” he said. “It would be nice to have no burning of petroleum and no emissions, but that is not realistic at this time. These are the only steps we can take right now and they are very positive.”

Factors to consider before selling your home

Selling a home is no small undertaking. It often pays to be patient when putting a property up for sale, but waiting for an acceptable offer can be stressful, especially for those homeowners who have already found their next homes. Because so much tends to be riding on the decision of whether or not to sell a home, homeowners would be wise to consider the following factors before putting that “For Sale” sign in their front yards. • Motivation: Many homeowners sell their homes because their families are growing and they have outgrown their current residences. Others may recognize a seller’s real estate market and want to strike while the iron is hot, while still others might be moving for a new job. The factors that motivate homeowners to sell their homes vary with each individual case, but prospective sellers should keep in mind that moving can be expensive, and finding a new home may not be so easy, nor is the grass

necessarily greener on the other side. When deciding if now is the best time to sell your home, make sure you will be selling for the right reason. That can make the often trying process of selling a home a lot easier to handle. • Market: The local real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to sell your home. A home is a significant investment, and you want to earn as substantial a return on that investment as possible. Selling when the market is struggling will make your investment less valuable. Research recently sold homes in your neighborhood to get an idea of how much you can expect to get if you sold your home in the current market. It might be worth it to sell now, or it might pay off to be patient and wait until the market rebounds. • Kids: Selling your home will impact your family just like it will impact your bottom line. Unless you plan to move down the street or to another home in your community, selling may

mean you and your family no longer see your friends and neighbors. That can be a difficult adjustment, especially for school-aged kids who will have to adjust to a new school. The potentially negative impact that selling can have on your children may not be worth the financial benefits of selling, so the decision of whether or not to sell should not be taken lightly by homeowners who also happen to be parents. • Quality of life: It can be difficult to turn down an opportunity to make a lot of money on your real estate investment. But if you plan to sell and move further away from your office and your friends and family, the financial windfall you earn when selling your home may not be worth the sacrifices you have to make in order to earn that money. Studies have shown that longer commutes can elevate stress levels, and even the most affordable property may not be worth moving to if you won’t be able to en-

joy the home with your friends and family. When deciding whether or not to sell their homes, many homeowners make

the decision a strictly financial one. But there is more than money to consider when deciding if now is the right time to sell your home.

Kingston Homefinder.ca - Thursday, June 18, 2015 3

On the heels of a recession that saw home values drop, many would-be investors have shied away from buying investment properties. But real estate has historically remained a sound investment, boasting a long-term appreciation rate that makes it a worthwhile investment for those who can withstand temporary setbacks in housing prices and hold on to their properties over the long haul. But investors are often nervous as they look for their first properties. Uncertainty about housing prices aside, investing in real estate also is risky, and first-time investors need to be comfortable with such risk in order to make the most of their investments. The following are a few things potential real estate investors should consider as they decide if investing in real estate is right for them. Personal ability Real estate investors typically have tenants, and those tenants inevitably have needs. Investors who have experience as contractors may not find it difficult to renovate a property and make it more attractive to tenants, nor are they likely to be inconvenienced when minor issues on the property need to be addressed. Investors with no such experience will need to hire contractors to do the work for them, cutting into potential profits down the road. In addition, investors who don’t have the ability and/or the time to address minor issues like a clogged drain or a drafty window on their own will need to hire a property management firm to tend to such needs. Such firms are effective, but also expensive, further cutting into your profits. Even those investors with contracting experience may have little or no knowledge of how the leasing process works, forcing them to rely on a real estate firm to write up leases and ensure all leases stay current. This, too, can cut into an investor’s profits. Investors who don’t bring any relevant expertise to the table can still make a profit from their real estate investments, but those profits likely won’t be as significant when outside companies must be hired to ensure the property is in good shape and all necessary documents are in order and up-to-date.

quick type of investment, so investors looking to make a quick buck should consider alternatives before buying investment properties. Size First-time real estate investors might be wise to choose a smaller property for their initial investment. Larger properties can be overwhelming to manage, and investors often rely on property management firms to tend to these properties. Such firms charge more to manage bigger properties, which can eat into investors’ finances. Veteran investors can handle such overhead costs, but first-timers might find themselves caught off guard upon realizing the gravity of their financial commitment. A good rule of thumb for first-time investors is to stick to smaller properties, only moving on to larger buildings once they are fully comfortable with all that comes with investing in real estate.

A M.E.

Costs The cost of a real estate investment goes beyond the purchase price of the home. In addition to the mortgage on the property, investors must pay the taxes and insurance on the property, as well as any costs associated with maintaining and managing the property. Certain tax breaks are available to real estate investors depending on where they live. For example, in the United States, taxes on the profits when a property is sold may be deferred if those profits are immediately rolled into another property (such a deferment is only available to those investors who arrange this exchange prior to selling the initial property). Potential investors need to consider all of these costs, and might want to hire a real estate lawyer to help them make the most of their investments and any profits they yield. But even hiring an attorney is an additional cost investors must consider before investing.

EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT!

Time Real estate is often a time-consuming investment. Tenants pay good money to live in attractive rental properties, and those tenants will have a host of needs that must be met. Investors must be sure they have the time to address their tenants’ concerns, especially investors with no plans to hire property management firms. Potential investors who already have full plates at work and at home may not be able to devote the time necessary to make the most of their real estate investments, and therefore might be better off finding another way to invest their money. Time also must be considered when considering profits. Real estate is not the type of investment that turns a profit overnight. Even investors who are looking to invest in an up-and-coming neighborhood must be prepared to hold onto their properties for at least a few years, if not much longer, to maximize their investments. Though real estate is a sound investment, it is not a get rich

What to expect with a tree removal Trees serve many purposes for a landscape, providing shade and habitats for birds and other animals and serving as natural blinds between two homes. Trees are often beautiful elements of a natural landscape, adding aesthetic appeal to a property or even an entire community. But there are times when a tree must be removed, an action that, in many instances, requires the services of a professional tree service. A tree with roots invading the foundation of a home or infringing on a patio or walkway can become a

safety hazard. Other trees may cast shade where a pool is planned or cause disagreements between neighbors when the tree straddles a property line. These are instances when tree removal will be necessary, and a reputable service can advise as to the best methods for ridding the property of the troublesome tree. Homeowners will need to do a bit of planning and research to remove trees safely and securely. It is best to contact a variety of different tree removal services and compare their offerings and prices.

several thousand. When a tree is being removed, most of the branches will be removed to make the tree more manageable. Trees are rarely chopped at the base and allowed to fall, as there simply isn’t enough room to safely take this approach. Sections of the tree will be cut, roped off and slowly lowered. A climber will scale the tree or use a cherry picker machine to reach the top of the tree to facilitate the process. The pieces of the tree will be loaded into a wood-chipper for grinding before they are hauled away. Larger, heavier portions of the stumps may need to be moved later on with machinery. Hauling trees off the property may cost extra, so it is important that homeowners read their contract thoroughly before signing on the dotted line. Additional costs may be factored into the bill. These can include stump-and-root grinding. Trees will be cut down to the stump. To prevent eyesores or tripping hazards, some homeowners opt to have the stumps ground down into sawdust. This will not remove all of the roots but will take care of most of the above-ground portion of the remaining stump. It is

Expect the ground around the former tree to be soft, and there may be a depression depending on how much stump grinding took place. Some people prefer to wait a season for the ground to recover before planting something new.
