Calling all brewerianists! Kingston Heritage News - The word “brewerianist� is defined as “a collector of brewery paraphernalia�- and Al Dodd, president of the Limestone Chapter of the Collectors of Canadian Breweriana Advertising (CCBA), certainly fits this description. His basement contains tens of thousands of beer-related collectors’ items including vintage cans, bottle caps, posters and the largest stubbie collection in North America. “If you Google ‘beer guy’, my name comes up,� he laughs, noting that he’s rather proud of his impressive collection. “I like showing it off. I’m very proud of this basement.� From Aug. 6-10, Dodd will have the opportunity show off not only his own basement, but also what the entire city of Kingston has to offer for beer and brewery paraphernalia aficionados from across Canada and the world as the Limestone Chapter of the CCBA hosts the 26th annual CCBA Convention. Hundreds of brewerianists will stay at the Ambassador Conference Resort and take part in activities like a pub crawl, a special banquet and a buy/sell/trade show on Saturday, Aug. 9 that will be open to the public.
Kingston has played host to this event two other times, once in 1985 and again in 2008. However, Dodd points out that a lot has changed since even five years ago in terms of the brewing landscape of the Limestone City. “We’re trying to go local with the whole thing,� he says, explaining that for the first time in 200 years, the Kingston area finally has some breweries of its own to celebrate, including Stone City Ales, MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company and the Gananoque Brewing Company. “It’s fantastic. The MacKinnons will be on hand with us and Stone City will be part of our pub crawl as well as at one of our hospitality nights. The guys are all great. They just want to make Kingston a brewery town, and it hasn’t been for a long, long time.� Dodd hopes to get a good crowd out to the buy/sell/trade show on Aug. 9, which will be held in the Ontario Room at the Ambassador from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. “We take a whole room,� he says. “We’ve got 46 tables of people just bringing all their stuff. It’s all open to the public. Five years ago people came in with truckloads of bottles, cans, openers. Everything is collectable.� Dodd would love to see more
young people get into collecting. “I’m 60 and most of our members all started in the ‘80s. We just had a gentleman pass away last week in Toronto and another one in New Brunswick and another one in Winnipeg. We’re getting older. We want new blood. We want to get our sons and daughters collecting.� It can be very rewarding, he says, in more ways than one. “We have local clubs in Kingston, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, clubs out west. I probably know a very good friend in every city in Canada. We’ve got people coming from Calgary, New Brunswick. A couple of years ago we had a guy come from Denmark, and we have Americans, too.� Of course, having a large collection to show your house guests is also a nice perk. “When I tell people about the collection they say ‘oh that’s nice’, but then when I bring them downstairs it’s ‘holy cow I never would have believed it, this is so amazing’. That’s what I like.� He notes that Saturday’s buy/sell/ trade show is a great place to start for those looking to begin or expand their collection: “We have everything that a person could think of that will make their house look interesting.�

Downtown vacancy rate not doom & gloom as first thought: Report pied and vacancy levels from 2006. “It shows the vacancy rate hasn’t changed very much,” said Doug Ritchie, managing director of the downtown business improvement area (BIA). The BIA-commissioned report shows the office/commercial/retail vacancy rate is currently at 7.3 per cent, compared with the pre-2008
By Bill Hutchins Reporter
Kingston Heritage – Concerns about the shaky future of downtown Kingston may be unfounded, according to a new report. It examined the commercial land use inventory of the downtown this year, and compared it with the occu-
recession level of 6.7 per cent. “Anything under 10 per cent in a commercial zone is considered regular turnaround,” Ritchie explained. The study shows there is currently 1.5 million square feet of retail space, representing 25 per cent of all downtown businesses such as grocery stores, general merchandise, hardware and drug stores, down
OFF THE ORIGINAL PRICE OFF OF ALL LADIES’ CLOTHING FROM NOW UNTIL AUGUST 31, 2014
from 28 per cent in 2006. The general merchandise category took a big hit in the eight-year span of the study. It occupied 2.9 per cent of downtown space in 2006 but shrunk to 0.9 per cent in 2014. The main reasons for the sharp decline: the closure of long-time anchor department stores S&R and Zellers. However, the number of restaurants continues to grow. They now occupy 6.4 per cent of all commercial space, or 388,000 square feet, compared with 4.9 per cent in 2006. The square footage of entertainment spaces has also increased, mainly due to the construction of the Rogers K-Rock Centre. More people are living downtown. Residential space now accounts for 22.1 per cent of buildings, or 1.3 million square feet, compared with 18.4 per cent in 2006. Meanwhile, the report indicates there are fewer parking spaces, government offices and churches. The decline in parking spaces, and enforcement issues, remains a sore point for many shoppers and retailers. However, Ritchie believes the city is working on plans to construct a parking garage. Overall, the amount of office/ commercial/retail/residential space in downtown Kingston stands at 6.1 million square feet in 2014, com-
pared with 5.5 million square feet in 2006. The downtown has been rocked by a series of high-profile closures and empty storefront lease signs in recent years – from the Empire Theatre and Indigo book store to many long-established stores - prompting some critics to wonder if the downtown is dying. Some blamed the BIA’s “complacency” for the downturn and called for a management shake-up. However, the report suggests the downtown engine is not sputtering as much as many people think. Laurence Trainor, a veteran commercial real estate broker, is not ready to hit the panic button. “I don’t share the pessimism. It’s part of a natural cycle.” Trainor says the ‘big dig’ construction “weeded out” some of the weaker retailers. BIA officials acknowledged the growth big box suburban stores, higher rents, online shopping popularity, family-owned businesses opting for retirement and the loss of anchor stores are some factors behind the recent glut of ‘for lease’ signs along Princess Street. However, they point to new stores on the horizon to help fill the gaps. Continued on page 7

From phones to homes? Kingston’s former Nortel factory demolished Reporter
Kingston Heritage – The old Nortel telephone cable factory at 700 Gardiners Road is in the process of being demolished. And a prominent housing developer could be moving in. Demolition crews have been working to tear down the sprawling 500,000 square foot plant in recent weeks after it was purchased by Taggart Construction for about $2.5 million. Taggart’s residential arm is Tamarack Homes, a well-known homebuilder in Kingston. “What they’re probably going to do, subject to rezoning, is build mixed residential houses and hi-rise apartments,” predicted commercial real estate broker Laurence Trainor. Trainor & Rogers Commercial Realty arranged Taggart’s purchase of the vast industrial property about a year ago through a court-ordered sale. It was originally listed at $4.1 million, but sold for much less. Trainor says the once thriving telephone cable manufacturing plant has been mostly vacant for 15 years. Since then, he says there has been very little market demand to re-activate the aging industrial building, especially since it’s in the heart of what is now west Kingston’s commercial and residential hub. “The property has outgrown the (industrial) zoning,” he observed. The site has changed hands a couple
of times over the years and was last purchased in 2004 for $3.1 million by a company represented by Malik Khalid. Despite his publicized efforts in 2007 to transform the plant into a high-tech centre and residential community, the owners were unable to find a permanent use for most of the space. A financial dispute between the partners led to an Ontario Superior Court of Justice order to put the property on the market, and that’s when Taggart bought it. But real estate observers say don’t expect the site to be redeveloped overnight. Some estimate the demolition costs, environmental clean-up, site preparation and potential rezoning could mean three or four years before any shovels are in the ground. “Somebody has to have the pockets and the ability to do it,” Trainor explained. But he says keeping the land zoned as industrial no longer makes sense.
In the years since Nortel closed, the area around the plant has been transformed into the RioCan power centre to the west and south, while more homes have sprouted up along the site’s eastern boundary leaving the plant orphaned in the middle.
While Trainor isn’t sure what Taggart Construction has in mind for the land, he says it makes sense that the new owner will want to transform the property into more compatible residential and small commercial uses.
Owning 100 acres of serviced land in the heart of Kingston’s western suburbs could give the new owner plenty of options for redevelopment. Continued on page 7

Council not ready to approve Frontenac Street apartment Kingston Heritage – A controversial housing development in Kingston’s midtown neighbourhood must wait another day to see if it will get city council’s green light. Councillors decided to hold off on approving zoning bylaw amendments to allow the 71-unit apartment building at 495-513 Frontenac Street, even though the project has already been recommended by the planning committee and staff. They want a further staff report after neighbours raised concerns about site clearing activities and
fire safety. “The biggest concern is fire safety,” said area resident John Grenville. He voiced concerns that the four and a half storey building will be constructed to the edge of the lot lines, leaving fire fighters with limited access to the rear of the property. Patry Enterprises Inc. is the company behind the wood-framed, 243bedroom apartment. District councillor Jim Neill says area residents are still scarred by the memory of the nearby Princess Street inferno last December. That building, also owned by Jay Patry,
was under construction when it was destroyed by fire and is now in the process of being rebuilt. The Frontenac Street development is near the Princess Street corridor, though it’s not considered part of the Williamsville Main Street study. City officials say it still fits nicely within a transition area. “The subject lands are not included within the Williamsville study area but are directly adjacent to it and the proposed development would function as a transition property in to the lower density neighbourhood to the north,” said a planning report by commissioner Lanie
Township of Frontenac Islands Joint Public Meetings for Zoning By-law Update, Waste Recycling Strategy and Changes at Wolfe Island Waste Disposal Site Wolfe Island: August 14, 2014, 6:30 PM Sacred Heart Catholic School (57 Road 95)
Howe Island: August 21, 2014, 5:30 PM St. Philomena’s Parish Hall (1733 Howe Island Drive)
Zoning By-law Update The Township of Frontenac Islands is proposing to amend its Zoning By-law to improve and update the mapping in the by-law, make technical corrections to the by-law, and to implement setbacks from waterbodies and wetlands. The Township will also be asking how it can improve the by-law in the future. A presentation and mapping will be available at the meeting and a formal public meeting will be held at the regular September Council meeting.
Hurdle. Planners say the Patry project is located 21 metres from Princess Street, close enough to meet many of the study’s height and density criteria. The developer proposed a smaller-scale building on the same site in 2008, but it was rejected by the former council. The developer appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, which upheld council’s original decision. The board found the original 58-unit building was “not reasonable, not appropriate and do not represent the principles of good community planning.” Since then, Patry Enterprises has refined the U-shaped apartment with courtyard to have a total of 71 units with one to five bedrooms each. It’s believed the building will cater mainly to post-secondary students. So why are city planners recommending council support the new development when it’s bigger than the previous proposal? They say the original proposal had dens in most units – which critics viewed as having the potential to be converted into additional bedrooms – while the revised development does not. Other factors that have changed since council’s 2008 rejection that planners now
Waste Recycling Strategy The Township of Frontenac Island has completed a review of its waste recycling practices. The review has been completed with the assistance of AECOM Canada Ltd. and with funding support from the Continuous Improvement Fund. It has recommended changes for both islands, but with the most significant change proposed for Howe Island. It is recommended that the current recycling depot on Howe Island be replaced by road side collection of blue box recyclables. Changes at Wolfe Island Waste Disposal Site Wolfe Island Waste Disposal Site is nearing capacity and Council has determined that the waste area should be closed on April 30, 2015. After that date wastes will be placed into bins for disposal off site. Recycling operations at the site would remain unchanged. The Township has prepared a plan for closure of the site and for operation of a waste transfer station that has been submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for Approval. For More Information Copies of the Zoning By-law mapping, “Waste Recycling Strategy” report and the “Landfill Closure Plan and Transfer Station Design and Operation Plan” can be viewed on line at www.municipality.frontenacislands.on.ca or at both municipal offices during normal business hours. Join us for a presentation of the Zoning By-law Update, recycling strategy and changes at Wolfe Island Waste Disposal Site at times and locations noted above. Council values your opinion. All comments submitted will be presented to Council at a future meeting.

endorse: the new proposal has more underground parking, the Williamsville study supporting more residential and commercial intensification along the main street was approved, there is more frequent bus service with the launch of express transit on Princess Street, and city has added more cycling lanes to the area. However, councillors are not ready to sign off on the development based largely on last-minute objections raised by the neighbours. In addition to potential fire hazards during and after construction, Grenville recently told councillors that the some trees were accidentally cut down as part of the site preparation work. The developer will demolish four houses and a small business to make way for the apartment building on 0.39 hectares. Other residents have complained about the building’s large footprint with setback reductions that will affect their privacy, potential for student noise and litter, inability for Frontenac Street to handle extra parking, and the lack of loading space and play/amenity space. The Frontenac Street apartment is one in a series of large-scale residential developments either planned or under construction in the city’s midtown area.

“There’s been a lot of action in the last 30 days,� Ritchie added. That includes the pending addition of a Wild Wings restaurant, Running Room expansion and a Dollar Tree discount store opening in the old Fabricland location. He also says the downtown continues to promote a number of festivals and special events designed to attract shoppers away from suburban malls. “The chef demonstrations have caught on big time filling the amphitheatre in Market Square.� The BIA will hold a Promenade August 2 – closing Princess Street to motorists while filling it with retailers and service providers for the day – plus a second Promenade in September that will offer Queen’s University organizations street space to cater to
students. There is also talk the Kingston Community Health Centre is planning to open a satellite office in a former printing press building on Barrack Street, across from Staples. The addition of new housing to the downtown area and future development plans for the North Block also bode well for the downtown’s future, say officials. Ritchie says the BIA has softened its stance when it comes to the commercial and residential mix in its outer boundary areas. “We’d be comfortable with a reduction in the amount of commercial space. But you have to see the development.� In response to complaints, the BIA has been working with KEDCO to develop a ‘lure kit’ for potential businesses, and to improve downtown cleanliness with faster garbage and graffiti removal.

So far, no formal drawings or plans have been publicly unveiled by the city, but any application will have to be vetted and approved by city planners and councillors. While there is plenty of speculation about the future of the site, its past is clear. The Nortel plant, formerly Northern Telecom, opened in 1971. The plant was one of Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest private sector employers until the once-mighty telecommunications giant went bankrupt in 1999. The factory has hosted occasional trade shows and other rented uses, but it
has remained mostly vacant. Even in its mothballed state, the city continued to collect $184,000 in annual property taxes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a figure that will now be sharply reduced due to the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demolition. While the massive low rise structure is mostly now a pile a rubble, one corner section of the building that is still being rented out will likely remain standing. Ottawa-based Taggart Construction specializes in engineering and infrastructure construction projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; touted as the largest of its kind in eastern Ontario - while its residential arm, Tamarack Homes, specializes in building high quality houses.

EDITORIAL
Starting new/old family traditions with Anne, strawberry rhubarb pie and out-of-province accents Hollie Pratt-Campbell Editor
@hollieprattcamp
Kingston Heritage Editorial Despite the fact that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived either in or between the cities of Toronto and Ottawa my entire life, there are certain words I say with a Maritime accent. Toast, pritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;near (pretty near) and sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pose (suppose), for example. It comes from spending a lot of time growing up with my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mum, whom I called Nan. Nan moved from Prince Edward Island to this area when she was about 30 years old, but she never lost her accent. On long summer days when my parents were working, she and I watched a lot of TV, including The Price is Right, which she called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? (in honour of its esteemed host). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;near time for Bob,â&#x20AC;? she would say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pose youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want some toast with your Kraft Dinner?â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to phonetically depict the cadence of a slight PEI accent. Just think of the above expressed a bit quicker than a native Ontarian might say it, and with a softer tone of voice. Nan was proud of her Maritime background. Most of the music she listened to somehow involved Anne Murray and/or Rita MacNeil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nova Scotia,â&#x20AC;? she once said as we listened to a duet by these two singers, a love song to their home province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost home, but not quite.â&#x20AC;? Prince Edward Island may not have produced as many singers and fiddlers as its neighbouring
province, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous province in terms of literature. Admittedly, a lot of critically acclaimed (and usually rather depressing) CanLit has come out of Cape Breton and Newfoundland, but millions of youth and adults all over the world hold a special place in their hearts for Anne. When I was eight years old, my family went on a road trip to PEI and before we left, Nan gave me Anne of Green Gables to read on the way down. At the time, what struck me most about the book were the ways in which Marillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Anne strongly resembled that between Nan and myself. Nan was strict with us kids and practical to a fault, but beneath all that she was loyal, loving and sentimental. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been more of a free spirit, and as a girl failed to understand why it was so important to brush my hair out several times a day or fold my clothes neatly on the chair instead of sprawling them across the bedroom floor. Despite our differences, deep down I think Nan and I always understood one another. Like her, I am level-headed, sensitive and prone to melancholy. It terms of personality, I am probably more like her than I am like anyone else in my family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I usually just have a different (more dramatic) manner of expressing myself. We lost Nan in what is arguably the worst possible way: gradually, to Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease. As a method of dealing with the complex emotions that came with watching someone I loved so dearly fade away before my eyes, I began to make pies. Pies were always Nanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to every family Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike meal, Mount and she was very good at baking mmount@perfprint.ca

them. That vast majority of her life was spent on farms, and many practices currently considered trendy, like picking thousands of strawberries during our climateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brief strawberry season and freezing or preserving them to last all year long, were natural ways of life for her. I think my current obsessions with gardening, pie making and preserving come from efforts to keep a part of Nan alive. In two weeks, our family will travel to Prince Edward Island, so I can introduce Summer to her relatives there, as well as to what is in my opinion Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beautiful province. It makes me smile when I think of how happy Nan would be to know that I am taking her great granddaughter â&#x20AC;&#x153;down homeâ&#x20AC;?. In part, this trip is another way in which I am striving to carry on traditions that were important to her. Summer is still too young to read the real Anne of Green Gables, but I will certainly introduce her to the abridged kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; picture book version for the drive down. And maybe even teach her to say sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pose instead of suppose.

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, August 7, 2014
The ThĂŠrèse Casgrain award and the spirit of volunteerism Heritage Editorial - Last week, reporters revealed that the federal government had unceremoniously dropped the namesake of a long standing national-level award for individual volunteerism. ThĂŠrèse Casgrain helped to lead the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffrage movement in Quebec prior to the Second World War. From 1928 to 1942, she was the leader of the League for Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights, and hosted a feminist radio show, FĂŠmina, beginning in 1930. Following the war, she left the Liberal party, and led multiple campaigns as the leader of the QuĂŠbec wing of the CCF (forerunner of the NDP). She was therefore also the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first female leader of a political party. By all accounts, she was one of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest feminist icons. In 1982, the Pierre Trudeau government created the ThĂŠrèse Casgrain Volunteer Award. In 2011, the award was effectively deleted and replaced under the banner of the Prime Ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Volunteer Awards. The tone and tenor or these distinctions were also changed, with businesses and not-for-profits able to compete for 17 awards, which are personally bestowed in a medal ceremony by the prime minister. A spokesperson for the government department that created the new awards said that the spirit of the Casgrain award lives on in two of five categories. She also indicated that there was fading interest in the award with 52 nomination in 2008 and 69 in 2009. By contrast, there were 751 nominations for 17 awards in 2011, 482 in 2013, and 315 in 2013. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much to figure out that the official explanation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold water: 69 nominations for one award in 2009 versus 315 for 17 awards in 2013 - for an award with a greatly expanded mandate? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that there was anything malicious in the name change itself. It is firmly within the purview of the prime ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office to alter such awards however he sees fit. After all, the award was also discontinued by Mulroney government in 1990, only to be resurrected by Jean ChrĂŠtien in 2001. However, to do it in silence, and then offer little more than the tired excuse of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not enough interestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; does a disservice to the nominators, to the intended spirit of the awards and to the memory of a true Canadian hero, ThĂŠrèse Casgrain. Perhaps for all its bombast about remembering the heroes of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past, there are certain political and social agitators of years gone by that the Harper Government would rather choose to forget.

Kingston investigates plan to become regional recycling hub By Bill Hutchins
Reporter
Kingston Heritage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Few cities want a garbage dump in their backyards. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different story for recyclable materials. Kingston sees potential revenues by becoming the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blue box headquarters. City council has launched a $129,000 study to investigate the possibility of expanding the Kingston Area Recycling Centre (KARC) on Lappanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lane into a regional material recovery centre. Instead of processing recyclables solely from the Kingston-area, the city may also take in
blue box materials from communities across southeastern Ontario. City officials say there is the potential for economies of scale: to reduce tax-supported operating costs at KARC through the collection of glass, plastic bottles, newspaper, aluminum cans and cardboard from a much wider area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A business case will determine the availability and likelihood of the supply of recyclables from other municipalities,â&#x20AC;? said a staff information report coauthored by solid waste manager John Giles. The business plan includes examining the service levels in other communities
and whether there are markets that can be tapped into for the processing of their curbside items. It will also require negotiations with other municipalities to secure access to their cans and glass â&#x20AC;&#x153;tonnage.â&#x20AC;? Giles says the market Kingston is going after could involve more than just blue box materials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consideration will be given to potential opportunities afforded by single stream recycling (blue box only) versus dual stream (blue and grey box).â&#x20AC;? City officials say they are pursuing a regional recycling centre based on Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011-2014 strategic plan. The council-endorsed plan seeks ways to
â&#x20AC;&#x153;capitalize on opportunities for research and innovation to enhance economic development.â&#x20AC;? The feasibility study, to be done by HDR Corporation, will be co-funded by Waste Diversion Ontario. The study will also look at whether the current KARC facility needs to be expanded in order to take in the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blue box items, or whether a new larger site must be found to accommodate a much larger intake of recyclable materials. Currently, KARC processes blue and grey box items from the curbsides of Kingston, Loyalist Township and South

Frontenac Township, plus recyclables delivered by industrial, commercial and institutional customers. The city recently renewed its contract with BFI Canada at one million dollars a year to process curbside materials at the Lappanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lane facility. But the contract was shortened to three years, with an option for a one year renewal, in the event Kingston expands it into a regional business. Findings of the regional blue box study will be presented to a future meeting of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment, transportation and infrastructure committee to recommend a go/no go approach. In 2013, about 80 per cent of Kingston-area households participated in curbside recycling which diverted about 54 per cent of household waste away from landfills. Those numbers are somewhat less than the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stated objective of achieving a 65 per cent landfill diversion rate.

Rose of Hope Tournament raises $80,000 for KGH dollars for KGH. “This year we have 150 players, 38 caddies and 20 volunteers helping out,” explained Jocelyn Greer, tournament chair. Proceeds from the tournament will go towards purchasing a video microscope for the head and neck unit at KGH. Gilda’s Club will also receive $3,000. “That’s one of the things that make this tournament so special – the money raised stays here, within the Kingston area,” said Greer.

Kingston Heritage News - Dressed in pink and with smiles spread across their faces, the women of the Cataraqui Golf & Country Club teed off the 16th annual Rose of Hope Tournament last Tuesday, where they raised $80,000 for the head and neck unit at Kingston General Hospital (KGH). The tournament, which began in 1999 as a small fundraiser for breast cancer, has since grown to raise more than $1.1 million

To date the tournament has provided funding to organizations such as the Kingston Regional Cancer Centre, the Kingston Hospitals Joint Advancement Foundation and the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario at Kingston General Hospital. According to Greer, the tournament is also unique because it is organized by women for women. “We have a big committee who does a great job. We also do all the administrative work ourselves, so our costs are kept to the minimal and when we announce how much we raised, the atmosphere is very empowering,” she added. The tournament is open to female members of the club as well as the public – but club members have first dibs at

For Harding, the tournament is a great way to support a great cause, but it’s also great fun. “The spirit here is just amazing. Everybody is here to have a good time, they get dressed up, have fun on the course and share some laughs,” she said.

signing up. Often times, as in this year’s case, the tournament sells out so quickly that even club members need to be timely in their registration. Debbie Hartzman and Sheila Harding, club members and tournament participants, agree. “It’s something we look forward to year after year. And you have to be quick to register and put your name (in) because the tournament sells out right away,” noted Hartzman. Greer, who has sat on the planning committee in past years, said the tournament gets bigger and bigger each year. “I think it speaks to all the people who started this tournament, and all the organizers before me who set down a really great footprint. We have even had other hospital foundations approach us asking if they can copy our model.”

SING prepares for 14th annual back to school campaign SING raises funds throughout the year for their annual event and they take advantages of sales to stockpile their supplies of backpacks, glue sticks, pencils, calculators, lunch bags, paper and much more. “We also receive support from the United Way, Kingston Community Health Centres, Sisters of Providence and many other organizations across the city,” added Kainer. “The Crossroads United Church provides the venue for us each year and we also have a storage space donated to us by Martin’s People’s Storage to hold the items we accumulate throughout the year. We also accept donations at any time.” On the day itself, Aug. 13 this year, parents and kids in need of supplies are invited to come to Crossroads United Church and choose supplies. The event is first come, first served and Kainer often sees people lined up three to four hours prior to the 10 a.m. start time. “We used to run the event with the backpacks already packed up, but now we run it as a store and people can come and choose what they need

Heritage News – It may be hard to believe, but back to school time is just around the corner and for many parents that means time to shell out a lot of money. According to the Pollara survey, funded by the Bank of Montreal, Canadians intend to shell out an average of $428 per child on items such as school supplies, clothing and technology, but what if you simply can’t afford it? The Social Issues Networking Group (SING) in Kingston understands these concerns and the financial burden that comes along with the back to school season and that’s why they hold a campaign to help parents each year. “Help is available and for the past 14 years we’ve been providing school supplies for families who simply can’t afford them,” explained event organizer and SING member, Tara Kainer. “We gave out over 700 backpacks last year and we assume we will be near that number again this year.”
and we find that works better,” said Kainer. “Kids don’t necessarily need a new backpack each year but they do need pencils and erasers. We find that people are really great about it and nobody takes advantage of the system. People aren’t greedy, they just take what they need.” The campaign sees an increase in traffic each year and unfortunately they don’t see the need in the community decreasing anytime soon. SING is happy to help people out and they love seeing families leave happy, but they would also like to see the larger issues in the community addressed. “The need in the community is really growing and we see that across many different organizations including Martha’s Table and The Salvation Army,” said volunteer Naomi Mori. “The supplies we provide take a burden off of the parents and that may allow them to buy a new outfit for their kids or new shoes for school and not have to worry about it impacting their finances so much. The reality is that many people can’t afford it all and we just want to help in any way we can.”

Farm Girl gets her own address Reporter
Kingston Heritage News - It’s been a whirlwind year for Farm Girl Mobile Food Co.’s Tamara Bolger and her family. Just last year, she put the first gourmet food truck on the roads of Kingston. One year later, the business continues to grow. “Within a few months, my husband had to quit his job,” said Tamara. “We just got too big, and couldn’t keep up.” Tamara, her husband Peter and their three kids have only been in the community for a few years, but she says Kingston is the first place that has really felt like home. “I love this city. It changed the lives of my children. My husband had his last cancer surgery here. I was very sick
her family live in the east end, but find there isn’t much for shopping, especially when it comes to local food. The kitchen and market will be a little store, but will offer many of the foods that are available on the truck, plus a lot more. “I’m looking at a very small eatery that is also going to be a market where I’m going to sell my products, my sauces, my soups, my frozen dinners, my fresh food, but also really great local products as well.” Tamara already sources much of her ingredients locally. She uses Pig & Olive meats, Salt of the Earth vegetables, Pan Chancho breads, Sun Harvest tomatoes and cucumbers and Kingston Olive Oil Company’s oils and vinegars. It will be those same products that make their way into the market portion of the store. Beyond that, Tamara continues to work on partnerships. She has just started selling her salads in both the west end and downtown locations of Pig & Olive. Soon, frozen perogies will also be available. While all of these projects keep Tamara busy and passionate, there’s one project that is really close to her heart. “I was approached and asked, ‘could I do a hot lunch program in the schools?’ So we’re starting with one school confirmed this fall and I think there are about five or

Every day, people come from all over Kingston to City Park to taste her daily creations. So to keep up with demand, she’s expanding. “We’re looking at brick and mortar, so that’s the next big thing happening very soon.” Farm Girl will be opening the Farm Girl Country Kitchen and Market in Kingston’s east end, just on the other side of the causeway.

Kingston Heritage News When it comes to hiring staff, the Gananoque Home Hardware is big on employing students. In fact, of the store’s 75 employees, 12 are students, who take on diverse roles such as cashiers, sales in the paint department and garden centre, shipping and receiving and in their warehouse. “We love our students here at the store and if we get a good student we keep them all through high school, college and university. We don’t let them go,” said Laura Lee Morris, financial controller and HR personnel at the Gananoque Home Hardware, also dubbed Ken O’Connor Building Materials Ltd. The store’s dedication to student employment did not go unnoticed. On July 23 it was recognized by the KEYS Job Centre during their 16th annual Employer Appreciation Breakfast and Award Ceremony. The Gananoque store was one of two businesses to receive the KEYS Star award for their outstanding commitment to student employment. “Ken O’Connor Building Mate-
rials do a great job employing students in Gananoque. This is really important because with Gananoque being a smaller centre, it can be more difficult for students to find summer employment,” explained Alina Newton, KEYS Program Administrator, Summer Jobs Service. “We also noticed that they are especially dedicated to student safety in the workplace,” Newton added, noting the importance of workplace training as those most at risk at getting hurt on the job are students and young people. “We’ve always hired students and we have always been big on workplace safety so to be recognized for our work, is great,” said Morris. The other business to receive a KEYS Star award at the breakfast was the MacLachlan Woodworking Museum. The Museum was recognized for the learning opportunities they offer students to not only improve their skills as museum interpreters, but also to gain relevant work experience. Also recognized was CKVI 91.9 The Cave, a community, notfor-profit radio station that runs as a focus program in the Limestone District School Board. The station

was nominated by students to be the recipient of the Student Choice Award. The Cave broadcasts throughout the school year and hires student managers and support volunteers to serve the community during the summer months. The station also hosts summer job placements in July and August where participants have the opportunity to learn various aspects of radio production, including music, news and highlight
pieces. “These employers make a huge impact on students financially. They allow students the opportunity to attend school and also gain a wide variety of work experience - everything from restaurants to historical sites,” said Newton. This year the KEYS Job Centre will assist over 1,500 students with their job search and coordinate funding for over 500 summer positions.

The ditching work involving Trans Alta underground wiring will be completed . “What we have
learned from this is that we must be proactive and budget more money for roads, as I suspect we will find similar problems with other roads and ditches ,” CAO Plumley said. 3.

That study recommended a new 75 car ferry operating between Kingston and Dawson Point , and a 2nd ferry for the summer months operating from Marysville until a more permanent solution is delivered.

Kingston Heritage News – 1.A new truck is coming to Frontenac Islands. The township accepted the bid from Tallman Truck Centre in the amount of $203,096. plus taxes for a new International 7600 SFA, at a special meeting of council. It is understood that the truck will arrive in August. The need arose as a result of an accident in 2013 when the original truck, a 1999 Sterling, was written off by the insurance company. During budget deliberations it was agreed that it was time for a new truck. In the meantime the municipality was forced to rent a vehicle or contract out services. ($250,000 was dedicated for a truck and plow equipment in the 2014 budget.) Through the bid process, three tenders were received by the July 16th closing date. One in fact was $4000 less, but was unable to accommodate an early delivery date. ‘ It would take six months for delivery resulting in the need to rent a vehicle or contract out services,” CAO Darlene Plumley said. “With these extra costs the price would exceed that of the International.” It was noted that having the International available sooner allows employees to become
familiar with it before winter.

In 1986, when MuchMusic and moussed hair ruled Canadian pop culture, I was 19, and heading to university. Leaving Kingston for Toronto was, at once, terrifying and exhilarating.But,havingbeenaccepted to film school at York, my head was bursting with dreams of becoming Canada’s next celebrated video director. It wasn’t so much the film part as the music part that thrilled me. So, leaving the sanctity of a sheltered life in Kingston was a small price to pay for such a golden opportunity. Portfolio? Zip. Experience? Nada! But, I had written the York Powers That Be a mean essay, waxing philosophic about how I deserved this shot at directorial stardom – at taking Queen Street West by storm. And, it worked! Never mind that once I settled into my new student life, things were remarkably different than I had envisioned they would be. I didn’t spend my free time partying on Queen Street West. Hardly! I lived at a York residence, halfway across the Big Smoke, rarely braving the onehour transit ride downtown. I didn’t even really care about plunging into the nitty-gritty of my chosen craft. In fact, I hardly studied at all. I spent my
time laughing with my new friends, pulling pranks on my res-mates, and genuinely enjoying life. It was the heady ‘80s and I was a starryeyed dreamer. I had never been the pragmatic “doer”. But, somehow, I had made it through my first year of film school, despite my professors’ frequent warnings to the whole class about being one of the “weeded out”. My dreams of music video mastery quickly waned, though, and in second year, I found myself in the more sensible (for me, at least) role of English major, one which has served me well over the years. But deep inside my soul, I still longed for a career in music (though I could barely play a note). After advertising college many moons later, I found myself working as an agent assistant in Toronto for one of Canada’s largest music booking agencies. Finally, I was hobnobbing with Canada’s musical elite! But, I didn’t make the most of the fantastic challenge I had been given because I was desperately homesick. So, back to Kingston I came, knowing full well what I was giving up.
Now, 12 years later, every day is proof that returning to Kingston was a good decision. I’m loving my career with the newspaper. I’m discovering that
edging towards 50 can be liberating, and I’m forging new passions, too. At long last, life is changing in positive ways. Having been perennially single, this is actually the first time I’m appreciating the freedom it affords. I’ve adopted two kitties (yes, on my way to Crazy Cat Lady status), am acting in feature thrillers, and loving my exciting new life. And there’s the writing, too. Yes. My hobbies “get my ya-yas out”, as they say. So, youth-driven musical dreams, forgotten – right? Wrong. A knock on my door one month ago proved it. There, on the other side, was a guy I never thought I’d see again (another story, for another day) asking me to manage his band. What?!? So, after the initial “flutter, flutter” – and awkwardness – of seeing someone on my threshold as unexpected as he was, the bigger surprise was the fire for music that burned again in my belly. This revelation made me feel 19 again – even if just for a second. So, I shrugged, laughing, “All right, then, I’ll do it! Guess I’m with the band!” He studied me with those soft brown eyes (damn it!), and smiled. “Yeah, you are, Sherri. This is going to be great!” Uh-huh. And, a little complicated, too, I suspect…

Playing a comedic role well takes a high level of skill. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing worse than someone turning a character like Franz Liebkind into a corny and tediously boring bit of slapstick. But the actor in such a role walks a fine line. Playing it too straight could lose all the comic impact. Graff played it all in a big way. Graff reminds me of a young version of Michael Shannon, one of my favorite stage

of comic theatre. For example, keep your eyes on Jordan Richards, as well as Regiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kathryn Johnston and Will Gouett. And then there was Joey Graff, who played the more-than-slightly pro-Nazi lover-of-Hitler, Franz Liebkind. Graff gave a grand slam performance. Everything about Franz Liebkind is over-the-edge. Even his name is silly, and in a literal translation becomes â&#x20AC;&#x153;love child.â&#x20AC;? Franz is easily enraged. He harbors a paranoid fear of being discovered as a past Nazi, and he soothes himself with an interesting hobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he raises pigeons. Franz Liebkind creates what producers Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom consider to be the worst play ever written. That perfectly suits their purpose of defrauding investors. Liebkindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, a tribute to the Nazi leader, is called Springtime for Hitler. In The Producers, we first meet Franz as he feeds his pigeons. His favorite is named Adolph, of course. The role of Franz is one of the most difficult in the musical. It would be easy to ham it up and overkill this role. Instead Joey Graff gives us a full character portrayal. We feel Franzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manic joy, fear his anger and, somehow, come to pity his fragility. Comedy gets short-shifted in our perceptions of film and stage performances.

The power of comedy Joey Graff recently graduated with a degree in drama from Queen’s University. He grew up in Almonte, Ontario, near Ottawa. After high school, he headed to McGill, where he studied biology and political science. He’s been involved in theatre since high school and performed in Hair at McGill. He felt the stage calling and searched for a school that would offer him strong training in theatre and drama. He transferred to Queen’s University. “I looked at other schools and profs
and liked Queen’s,” he said. “I like Kingston, both as a city and as a community. It reminds me a lot of a very large small town. It’s a great place potentially for some of the work I want to do on independent project. There are invaluable resources and mentorship here.” He was excited to land the role of Franz Liebkind in The Producers. “I got to work on a stage like the Regina Rosen,” he said. “Before that, the largest stage I’d worked on in Kingston was Convocation Hall. Getting the opportunity to play in such a large house was very tempting.
His vocalization in The Producers was stunning. Screaming in a German accent one second and then singing a booming showtune a moment later is a gruelling vocal experience. Sitting down at Starbucks, Joey shows up with a smile (no Hitler salute). Unlike the character of Franz Liebkind, there’s nothing scary about Graf in person. He’s intelligent and well-versed in theatre. “I’m not vocally trained,” he said. “But I have a passion for puppetry and have a good understanding of voice and the importance of breath control. To do a role like Franz night in and night out

flaws and corruption. As for the dichotomy of Franz Liebkind, Joey Graff explained that creepy and comedy live on two ends of a spectrum. “Timing has a lot to do with the mood created,” he said. “Comedy is very much a craft.” Some of the best stage work I’ve seen has been when a classic comic actor plays a serious role and when a serious actor takes on a comedic role. It’s tough stuff. Robin Williams on stage as the living/dying/dead tiger in Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo comes to mind. Mindblowing. Graff says the closest he’s come to playing a character like Franz Liebkind in the past was his role as the MC for Cabaret, where he was required to master a German accent. Joey Graff plans on staying around Kingston for the next year and he has some creative projects brewing. He’s writing a musical and would also like to explore more roles as a director. “Another thing that interests me is the Canadian story,” he says. “Why don’t we see musicals from Canada? What’s it going to take?” To Graff, theatre, like comedy, is never frivolous. “We have a responsibility as artists and people who are privileged and in power to give power to people who do not have a voice.”

without damaging your voice is tricky.” Understatement. He explained that Italian actor/playwright Dario Fo was an inspiration in originally drawing him into comedy. Fo received the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. Fo dedicated much of his work to “recovering” what are often considered “illegitimate” forms of theatre, like the giullari—the strolling minstrel, and commedia dell’arte. “When I think of myself as a practitioner, a lot of different things interest me,” Graff said. “A lot of people wouldn’t take some of my interests seriously, but comedy is very much a craft. There was an uproar when Fo won the Nobel because he was a comedian. He was a famous Italian playwright. I like his theories on why we need comedy.” Dario Fo believed that comedy allows us to search the profound. Through comedy, we can explore subjects that may otherwise be too threatening to confront. Comedy allows us to examine corrupt leaders, organizations and institutions without direct confrontation. And those in politics are acutely aware of the power for social change that comedy carries. Just think of performers and writers who have been banned or persecuted by the state. Dario Fo and Charlie Chapin were each banned from entering the United States. Organizations in power do not appreciate challenges to their authority. Nor do they like to be ridiculed for their

Growing up growing gardens: students learn the joys and challenges of community gardens By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Kingston Heritage News - Brother and sister Glenn and Bradena Miller have sure learned a lot about gardening over the past few months. The Rideau Heights Public School students participated in the Loving Spoonfulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GROW project during the school year, and now regularly attend the summer extension of the program, Get Fresh!, which teaches children about how things grow through hands-on experience in gardens located at primary schools in Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We learned that the plants need sunlight and water to grow,â&#x20AC;? notes Glenn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And manure,â&#x20AC;? adds Bradena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like a snack to them.â&#x20AC;? Bradena and Glenn have even been able to take some of the produce theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown home with them to cook meals with, but Glenn says time spent in the garden is still his favourite part: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing the plants [is the best part] because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.â&#x20AC;? While GROW is aimed at mostly Grade 5 students, Get Fresh! is open to kids of all ages in the neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily get taught how to grow fresh food in schools so it
kind of fills in the gaps in their education,â&#x20AC;? explains garden educator for Loving Spoonful, Christina Faiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might learn the science behind how food grows, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily learn the value of growing it from seed themselves, taking care of it and being connected to their community through donating it to the Loving Spoonful and food organizations.â&#x20AC;? Faires remarks that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rewarding watching the kids respond to the program.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love being in the dirt. They love seeing something grow from seed. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize that seeds make peppers and beans so we see the light bulb go off a lot.â&#x20AC;? The garden at Rideau Heights Public School contains peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, kale, cabbage, squash and lettuce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re letting [the lettuce plant] go to seed so the kids can see how it reproduces,â&#x20AC;? Faires explains. She says that she hopes the program
has a long-term positive influence on the children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that they take away the fact that fresh food is a good way to keep themselves healthy, that gardening is a good way to live an active lifestyle and a community garden is a good way to connect them to their community.â&#x20AC;? And thus far the experience has been an enjoyable one for Faires, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love

A tribute to Joyce Columnist
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Lifestyle - We were both about five years old. It was the first time I had seen Joyce Francis, both of us brand new pupils at the Northcote Public School. People often ask if my little friend Joyce

lily, with a faint blush to her cheeks, and I noticed back then with envy, there wasn’t a freckle anywhere in sight! Not like my face, which my brother Emerson often likened to a turkey egg! And there was Joyce with skin like a freshly ripened peach. Although we became fast friends, our lives were as different as night was from day. First of all Joyce lived in a brick house...ours was log. There was a flush toilet, with real toilet paper. Ours was behind a cluster of cedar trees, with an Eaton’s catalogue on a spike! But when Joyce came to our farm to play, she used the outdoor privy just as if there was no difference between it and her modern facility at home. That’s the kind
of friend Joyce was. Joyce had her very own bedroom, as did her brother Allan. I remember now, so many decades later, flowered wallpaper somewhere...perhaps it was in the hall upstairs, or in Joyce’s bedroom, but in my mind’s eye, I see pink...still one of my favourite colours. Joyce had a little wood pencil box...I think now, the only one at the Northcote Public School, but perhaps there were others, but I remember hers in particular. My pencils and eraser were in a little homemade drawstring bag. You opened Joyce’s pencil box with your thumbnail, and it swivelled open, and there inside were her pencils and art gum, as neat as you please. And one Friday, Joyce let me take her wood pencil box home for the weekend, which I took to the Lutheran Church on Sunday! That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce wore storebought underwear... mine were flourbags. Joyce wore little white socks with lace around the She wore 315 Bagot St. Kingston (Corner of Bagot & Queen) cuffs. hand-knit sweaters. In spite of all this, what I considered grandeur, Joyce and R0012832867 I were best friends. It

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, August 7, 2014
mattered not to her, that I came from a big rambunctious family, whom were poor as church mice, and most of my clothes were hand-me-downs, or ‘made-overs’. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce’s father drove a modern car. Until we got our old Model T in a trade, we had to rely on Queenie, the buggy in the summer, and the cutter in the winter. And often I was taken into Renfrew in that spanking new car, driven by Joyce’s father, and we would stop at Briscoe’s General Store for an ice cream cone, on Joyce’s suggestion. She knew for me, ice cream cones were a very infrequent treat. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce never lost her love of life. She married, had two children Frank and Janice, and was then widowed. Derek Smith, who shared Joyce’s love of art, came into her life and they shared a dozen wonderful happy years together. When her memory started to fade, she depended more and more on her family. Finally, she made her home with her daughter Janice, who often compared her Mother’s failing memory to that of a very young child. Yes, Joyce, although suffering from dementia, became childlike. She loved to be read to, she smiled readily, she showed gratitude. And then, this gentle soul, this dear friend of mine for many decades, slipped away in her daughter’s arms on Saturday night, July 26 in Toronto. Those of us who had Joyce in our lives for decades will cherish those memories that set her apart from others. She will continue to live on in my stories, and those of us who have had the privilege of calling her a friend will meet in the little Northcote United Church to say our final goodbye on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 10:30 a.m., and then we will gather in the one room school house next door to share memories of my little friend Joyce Francis Fricker.

really existed...or did I just create her to flesh out my Depression memories. She did indeed exist! And I remember that first day at school, so very many years ago when a friendship was forged that would last for many decades down the road. What I remember so well, as the little girl sat directly across from me in one of those little desks with the drawer under the seat, and the ink well implanted in the right hand corner, was her beautiful complexion. She had skin as fair as a

R0012712678
you’re watering. Watering in the early morning or in the evening, when the sun is not as strong and the temperatures are generally at their coolest, also reduces the likelihood that your grass will burn. That’s because water attracts the sun, and a lawn that’s wet in the middle of a hot day might attract too much sun and cause the lawn to burn. * Recognize that not all plants are the same. How much water a plant needs and how frequently it needs to be watered largely depends on how deep its roots are. A plant with shallow roots won’t need to be watered for long periods of time, but it will need to be watered frequently, whereas a deep-rooted plant like a tree or a shrub will need to be watered for long periods of time but not as frequently. Research the plants around your property to determine the depths of their root systems and water accordingly. * Lean on mulch to retain moisture. Mulch is often considered an aesthetically appealing addition to a landscape, but it serves a practical purpose as well. Mulch retains moisture during the hot summer months, reducing the need to water -- a valuable benefit during a drought restriction. Mulch also makes it difficult for weeds to grow, which can keep homeowners from spending hot summer afternoons pulling weeds out of their gardens and flower beds. * Strategically locate sprinklers.
Sprinklers should be located so no water is ending up on the driveway or sidewalks around your property. Watering the concrete or asphalt is wasteful, and that’s water that could

Summer can take its toll on just about everyone. Even the most ardent fan of summer eventually grows weary of a heat wave, which can make something as simple as walking down the street seem exhausting. While human beings have their ways of surviving summer heat, such survival can be more difficult for your lawn and garden. Certain grasses and plants thrive in hot weather. But when the dog days of summer arrive, even those grasses and plants built to withstand the summer sun can suffer. That’s why watering takes on such importance in the summertime, when grasses and plants need water to avoid drying out and possibly even dying. The following are a few basic watering techniques to help homeowners keep their lawns going strong through the next summer swoon. * Water when it’s coolest. Watering when the temperatures are their lowest might seem counterintuitive. After all, homeowners might think their grass and gardens need water most when the temperature is at its highest. But watering when the temperature is cooler decreases evaporation, meaning your lawn will get the water it needs and won’t lose any to steamy conditions that cause evaporation. This is especially important when the amount of water you can use is limited by a drought restriction. You’ll want to make sure the water you can use is actually going to the lawn and not evaporating as

Buying a condo not the same as buying a home repairs throughout the condominium complex. Fees vary significantly from community to community, and the best deal is not always the one with the lowest homeowners association fees. Low fees tend to provide less bang for the buck, generally covering only the most basic services. Higher fees often mean the community offers more amenities, such as a private pool and gym for residents. Some people prefer such amenities, while others would rather find better deals on their own. But prospective condo buyers must include fees in their monthly budgets when determining how much they can afford to spend. * Condos come with rules. Owners of single-family homes can create their own rules for their households, while condo owners must agree to follow rules established by the homeowners association or the property management firm responsible for maintaining the community and enforcing the rules. Rules may not allow pets or only allow pets of a certain size. Other rules may restrict how owners can

decorate their condos during the holiday season or how they can furnish the exterior of their properties, limiting patio furniture to a set number of chairs or tables. Some condo owners are glad such rules are in place, while others might find such stipulations intrusive. Each community has different rules, and prospective buyers should familiarize themselves with a community’s rules before buying any properties within that community. * Condos often have management firms. Property management firms can be great to deal with, but they can be troublesome as well. A good property management firm produces satisfied community members who speak
glowingly of their communities, while a poorly run management firm can frustrate homeowners who feel they are not getting what they’re paying for. Some property management firms fail to collect homeowners association fees for months at a time, only to send letters demanding back dues down the road. Others simply don’t live up to expectations, failing to make repairs in a timely manner while letting the property fall into disrepair. If possible, speak to current community residents about how the property is managed. If residents are not available, potential buyers should attempt to attend a homeowners association meeting, which can shed light on what it’s like to live
within a given community and how accessible the management firm is to community members and how well ittends to those members’ needs. * Condos are not as private as single-family homes. Much like apartment dwellers, condo owners often share walls with neighbors. That means condo owners will have to sacrifice some privacy. Prospective buyers who consider privacy a top priority may want to continue living in an apartment until they can afford to buy a single-family home. Though condo owners rarely have someone living above or below them, sharing walls with neighbors is still not as private as owning a single-family home.

Stringent lending policies and the escalating costs of home ownership have led many prospective home buyers to consider condominiums instead of single-family homes. Condos are typically less expensive than singlefamily homes, which makes lenders and borrowers alike feel more comfortable. Lenders feel better because the loans aren’t as large, while borrowers are more comfortable because such loans allow them to improve their standing with lenders, potentially setting the table for a low-interest home loan down the road. But the differences between buying a condo and buying a single-family home go beyond the bottom line. The following are a few things prospective buyers should know about condos before they view any properties. * Condos come with fees. Unlike single-family homes, condos come with homeowners association fees. These fees cover the cost of maintenance and repairs to the property. This includes landscaping and garbage collection, as well as general

Watering 101 Help your lawn thrive through the dog days of summer
R0012712678
you’re watering. Watering in the early morning or in the evening, when the sun is not as strong and the temperatures are generally at their coolest, also reduces the likelihood that your grass will burn. That’s because water attracts the sun, and a lawn that’s wet in the middle of a hot day might attract too much sun and cause the lawn to burn. * Recognize that not all plants are the same. How much water a plant needs and how frequently it needs to be watered largely depends on how deep its roots are. A plant with shallow roots won’t need to be watered for long periods of time, but it will need to be watered frequently, whereas a deep-rooted plant like a tree or a shrub will need to be watered for long periods of time but not as frequently. Research the plants around your property to determine the depths of their root systems and water accordingly. * Lean on mulch to retain moisture. Mulch is often considered an aesthetically appealing addition to a landscape, but it serves a practical purpose as well. Mulch retains moisture during the hot summer months, reducing the need to water -- a valuable benefit during a drought restriction. Mulch also makes it difficult for weeds to grow, which can keep homeowners from spending hot summer afternoons pulling weeds out of their gardens and flower beds. * Strategically locate sprinklers.
Sprinklers should be located so no water is ending up on the driveway or sidewalks around your property. Watering the concrete or asphalt is wasteful, and that’s water that could

Summer can take its toll on just about everyone. Even the most ardent fan of summer eventually grows weary of a heat wave, which can make something as simple as walking down the street seem exhausting. While human beings have their ways of surviving summer heat, such survival can be more difficult for your lawn and garden. Certain grasses and plants thrive in hot weather. But when the dog days of summer arrive, even those grasses and plants built to withstand the summer sun can suffer. That’s why watering takes on such importance in the summertime, when grasses and plants need water to avoid drying out and possibly even dying. The following are a few basic watering techniques to help homeowners keep their lawns going strong through the next summer swoon. * Water when it’s coolest. Watering when the temperatures are their lowest might seem counterintuitive. After all, homeowners might think their grass and gardens need water most when the temperature is at its highest. But watering when the temperature is cooler decreases evaporation, meaning your lawn will get the water it needs and won’t lose any to steamy conditions that cause evaporation. This is especially important when the amount of water you can use is limited by a drought restriction. You’ll want to make sure the water you can use is actually going to the lawn and not evaporating as

Buying a condo not the same as buying a home repairs throughout the condominium complex. Fees vary significantly from community to community, and the best deal is not always the one with the lowest homeowners association fees. Low fees tend to provide less bang for the buck, generally covering only the most basic services. Higher fees often mean the community offers more amenities, such as a private pool and gym for residents. Some people prefer such amenities, while others would rather find better deals on their own. But prospective condo buyers must include fees in their monthly budgets when determining how much they can afford to spend. * Condos come with rules. Owners of single-family homes can create their own rules for their households, while condo owners must agree to follow rules established by the homeowners association or the property management firm responsible for maintaining the community and enforcing the rules. Rules may not allow pets or only allow pets of a certain size. Other rules may restrict how owners can

decorate their condos during the holiday season or how they can furnish the exterior of their properties, limiting patio furniture to a set number of chairs or tables. Some condo owners are glad such rules are in place, while others might find such stipulations intrusive. Each community has different rules, and prospective buyers should familiarize themselves with a community’s rules before buying any properties within that community. * Condos often have management firms. Property management firms can be great to deal with, but they can be troublesome as well. A good property management firm produces satisfied community members who speak
glowingly of their communities, while a poorly run management firm can frustrate homeowners who feel they are not getting what they’re paying for. Some property management firms fail to collect homeowners association fees for months at a time, only to send letters demanding back dues down the road. Others simply don’t live up to expectations, failing to make repairs in a timely manner while letting the property fall into disrepair. If possible, speak to current community residents about how the property is managed. If residents are not available, potential buyers should attempt to attend a homeowners association meeting, which can shed light on what it’s like to live
within a given community and how accessible the management firm is to community members and how well ittends to those members’ needs. * Condos are not as private as single-family homes. Much like apartment dwellers, condo owners often share walls with neighbors. That means condo owners will have to sacrifice some privacy. Prospective buyers who consider privacy a top priority may want to continue living in an apartment until they can afford to buy a single-family home. Though condo owners rarely have someone living above or below them, sharing walls with neighbors is still not as private as owning a single-family home.

Stringent lending policies and the escalating costs of home ownership have led many prospective home buyers to consider condominiums instead of single-family homes. Condos are typically less expensive than singlefamily homes, which makes lenders and borrowers alike feel more comfortable. Lenders feel better because the loans aren’t as large, while borrowers are more comfortable because such loans allow them to improve their standing with lenders, potentially setting the table for a low-interest home loan down the road. But the differences between buying a condo and buying a single-family home go beyond the bottom line. The following are a few things prospective buyers should know about condos before they view any properties. * Condos come with fees. Unlike single-family homes, condos come with homeowners association fees. These fees cover the cost of maintenance and repairs to the property. This includes landscaping and garbage collection, as well as general
