Homecoming street parties spark Twitter feud between mayor, students Entertainment Minions benefit babies Pg. 17

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

The Buddy Holly Story Pg. 26

Kingston Heritage - Kingston’s mayor has faced criticism and ridicule for his social media criticism of student behaviour during the first of two Homecoming weekends at Queen’s University. An estimated crowd of 2,500 gathered on streets around the newlynamed University District, formerly known as the student ghetto. More than 100 police officers patrolled the off-campus neighbourhoods on Saturday, Oct. 5. They handed out 133 tickets, mostly for public drunkenness, and made 15 arrests. Mayor Mark Gerretsen says he was

on Aberdeen Street monitoring student behavior, and took to Twitter to express his frustration. “I am standing at William and Aberdeen. I have two words for you: NOT GOOD,” he tweeted to the Queen’s principal Saturday evening. The next morning, the mayor inspected the aftermath on the streets and thanked all student and community volunteers who cleaned up the red cups and other debris. Later, he posted: “As the Mayor I find the actions of many @queensu students last night unacceptable. Really don’t appreciate the lack of respect.” Others also took to Twitter to challenge the mayor’s claim that student behaviour was a problem. “As a student I find @MayorofK-

ingston #Homecoming tweets pretty disenfranchising. Really don’t appreciate the condescending tone,” said one posting. Another post to the Mayor’s Twitter page said: “More understanding, more compassion for the student community is required.” As the criticism mounted, the mayor replied: “Sure. I’ll just keep rolling over.” He went on to tweet: “Rgrdlss of ones personal feeling about me, I find the actions of many @queensu stdnts last night extraordinarily disrespectful.” Queen’s political sciences professor Brandon Tozzo joined the fray, noting Queen’s University contributes $1.5 million to the local econo-

my. “How well are downtowns doing in other small towns without students as an economic driver? Not well.” Prof. Tozzo also tweeted to the mayor that, without the economic impact generated by local college and university students, Kingston would be nothing more than a “truck stop.” Mayor Gerretsen has repeatedly voiced concerns over the high cost of policing Homecoming crowds, in spite of the fact that the alumni gathering filled hotels and brought in money to other businesses. Queen’s principal Daniel Woolf says he’s open to discussing a costsharing of Homecoming-related policing. But, in a statement, he won’t

A fresh approach to

YOUR HEALTH Complementary medicine continues to increase in popularity as more and more patients find it offers safe and effective treatment for their health conditions, including difficult to treat chronic diseases. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are at the forefront of providing the highest level of this medical care. The scope of practice of an ND includes full physical examinations, blood work, urine analysis, acupuncture, nutritional guidance, and offers patients botanical and neutraceutical therapeutic options as opposed to pharmaceuticals. Intravenous therapy for the treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases are also offered by NDs. Evidence supporting natural therapies continues to grow as more and more medical studies are performed. These studies and research articles can be found in a variety of medical journal publications. NDs are highly trained, licensed primary health care providers with 8 years of university education that is similarly structured to that of medical doctors. Education starts with a university undergraduate degree and is followed by 4 years of study at an accredited medical school which includes all conventional medical courses as well as naturopathic modalities such as Traditional Chinese medicine, botanical medicine, clinical

nutrition, and counselling. Training also involves a 1-year clinical internship where NDs work with patients under the supervision of other doctors. With this education NDs can combine standard medial training with the broad range of natural therapies, to find the root cause of disease and help patients achieve their health goals. NDs treat a wide variety of conditions and diseases including: obesity - diabetes - cancer heart disease - fibromyalgia - depression and anxiety - women’s health issues - Lyme disease - arthritis - pediatric aliments inclusive of autism - ADHD food allergies - skin problems - colds and flu. Support, guidance, and nutritional counselling are offered to those interested in general health promotion and weight loss. Appointments with NDs are covered by employer group benefit plans. Even if you have a family doctor, your ND can complement your health care with naturopathic treatment options. NDs are licensed health care practitioners that offer safe and effective treatments for health concerns. These treatments can be used in combination with conventional treatments or on their own. Make an appointment with an ND today to explore your alternative treatment options to obtain optimal health.

Lifestyle - The air in the kitchen hung heavy with the sweet smell of chili sauce. The blue granite pot simmered on the back of the Findlay Oval, and every few minutes Mother would take the big wood spoon and stir the chili sauce, sending out more serious smells. Jars of every size had already been washed and boiled and were now upside down on a clean flour-bag tea towel spread out on the bake table. Hopefully, by supper time, the chili sauce would be ready to be put in jars, and there would be an ample supply left over to slather on our plates. Father would put chili sauce on his pie if Mother would let him. He thought no meal was complete without it. When it had all been bottled, and the lids screwed on as tight as they would go, it was my sister Audrey’s job to carry the jars outside and down to the dug- out under the house, which served as our cellar. The two doors that rested flat against the outside of the house on a tilt were heavy and hard to open, and so I was spared from this chore, for which I was eternally grateful. I hated going down under the house, and into the dank dark hole that held our vegetables in a sand pit, and from swinging shelves could be found preserves and pickles of every description. The shelves, suspended by two chains, was to assure the mice or any other vermin looking for a dark warm home would be unable to get to. Mother lined the shelves with folded copies of the Renfrew Mercury for further protection. Before Grandfather bought Mother a Barnett Ice Box, even our butter and milk were kept on the swinging shelves. And so, the many bottles of chili sauce would soon join the newly jarred preserves and pickles Mother had made from an ample garden that year. If we liked chili sauce, we had an uncle who liked it even more so, if that was possible. Uncle Johnny DeGray lived in Ottawa, but he and Aunt Vanetta often drove out to Northcote, a trip Father often said would be the last for the old car that seemed to be hung together with binder twine and hairpins! In a failed attempt to make the car look presentable, Uncle Johnny had painted the four fenders, none of which matched in size or shape, a deep red. He said he did that because he lived next door to No. 2 Fire Station on Lyon Street, and he always loved the red fire engines, and was fast friends with all the firemen. On a summer evening, Uncle Johnny would join them in the driveway of the station, sitting on straight-back kitchen chairs, telling off-colour jokes and slapping their knees in gaiety. When Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta came to visit, it was always

an overnight trip from Ottawa. The couple was as different as night from day. Aunt Vanetta, tiny with snow white hair, and dressed as neat as a pin, and Uncle Johnny, tall, lanky, with a shiny pink head, completely devoid of hair, except for a small fringe around the back of his neck, was boisterous and loud. And when he laughed, which was often, you had to laugh with him, even if you didn’t know what the joke was all about! Uncle Johnny worked for the city of Ottawa, driving a monstrous black steam roller, which he named Babe! How he loved to eat when he came to the farm! He would go to the smoke house and personally pick the roast of ham, or the long link of sausages he would like for a meal, which Mother thought was perfectly alright with her. She cooked up whatever he chose, and of course the table was laden with heaping bowls of potatoes, at least two different vegetables, and plates of freshly baked bread. Without even asking, Mother knew that Uncle Johnny would scan the table and if it wasn’t already there, he would say “don’t forget the chili sauce, Mabel”. Uncle Johnny didn’t believe much in saying Grace, even though Aunt Vanetta was a devout Catholic, never missing Mass, and carrying her Rosary beads in her pocket wherever she went, but at our table Grace was mandatory! I confess that during Grace, when Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta were visiting, I kept my eyes open and on Uncle Johnny, and he kept his eyes on the bowl of chili sauce! He would load his plate like it was his last meal on earth, and then he would reach for the chili sauce, and just about empty the bowl! And if that wasn’t enough, when his plate had been wiped clean, he would lay out two slices of heavily buttered bread, and cover them with more chili sauce wiping the bowl clean with a corner of the bread. Often he would undo the top button of his trousers, to ease the discomfort caused by the mounds of food he had eaten. But it didn’t matter how much he had on his plate, or how often he went back for seconds, he always had room for those slices of bread slathered with chili sauce. And when it was time for Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta to head back to Ottawa, Mother would have tucked into the back of the old car a couple of freshly plucked chickens, vegetables from the cellar, and always two or three jars of chili sauce. Uncle Johnny would take the old car robe in the back seat, and wrap the chili sauce jars tight so that they wouldn’t come to some bad fate on the way back to Ottawa. Heaven forbid that the jars would smash together and break and he would lose his precious cargo! My older and wiser sister Audrey said she was quite sure he would rather see the chickens and vegetables toss out the car window, rather than Mother’s precious chili sauce! For Uncle Johnny, the chili sauce was worth the two-day trip from Ottawa!

Big ticket project: Kingston’s airport expansion cost soars to over $15 M Kingston Heritage – The cost to expand Kingston’s Norman Rogers Airport continues to soar. The latest estimate to lengthen the main runway and expand the passenger terminal has risen to over $15 million – at least two million dollars more than what city council was told earlier this year, Kingston Heritage has learned “The revised estimate is in the $15 million to $15.9 million range,

so it has gone up,” confirms airport manager David Snow. He says the higher ‘Class C’ building estimate is based on a more detailed analysis of construction costs that would add another 1,000 feet to the existing 5,000 foot runway and improve passenger seating, comfort and security in the terminal. “The runway costs are slightly higher, and terminal building costs include additional fire protection, plus improved heating and air conditioning systems,” Snow ex-

plained. The revised price tag will be presented in a report to council in November. “Am I happy with it? No. These things happen,” commented Mayor Mark Gerretsen, who added he hasn’t yet seen the latest airport costing report. Councillors were warned last March that expansion costs could go much higher than the $13.1 million estimate that was presented to them. The original price was actually $10.8 million until consultants started looking at more of the details such as new approach lighting equipment, a new emergency generator plus other upgrades. “You will see that in almost any project we do,” said Lakeside councillor Dorothy Hector, whose district includes the airport, of the detailed pre-tender estimate. Airport officials are pushing for improvements in order to remain a viable transportation alternative, secure Air Canada’s future service in Kingston and promote the city’s economic development. Norman Rogers is currently used by nearly 70,000 passengers a year, which is only a fraction of the area’s 700,000 air travellers.

Last city-operated daycare closes its doors this week Reporter

Kingston Heritage - This week marks the end of an era for early childhood care in Kingston. Oakwood Preschool Centre, the city’s last remaining municipallyowned childcare facility, has closed its doors. City officials say the handful of remaining children have already been transferred to nearby preschool centres, the toys, equipment and furnishings were given away, and municipal staff affected by the closure have been relocated into other city departments. Oakwood will officially cease to

exist on Oct. 18. So far, the city has not found a use for the mothballed building at 33 Compton St., but a security presence will be maintained. “The final step in the Oakwood closure process will be the transfer of property management responsibility to the Facilities Management and Construction Department on Oct. 18,” said an information report to council by Community Services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. Oakwood has served the north Kingston population for 38 years. City council voted 8-3 last May to shutter the municipal daycare in the face of declining enrolment, provincial reduction in affordable daycare subsidies, expansion of full-day kindergarten in schools and rising costs to oper-

istration in the municipal daycare fell from 45 spaces in 2011 to 21 spaces in 2012. It dropped even further this year. “Oakwood served 17 children over July and August with 10 children transitioning to Kindergarten in September and 7 children remaining in care at Oakwood on September 3, 2013,” said Hurdle’s report to council Oct. 15. Of the seven remaining children, one family moved their child to a care centre within a school and the other six families identified Rideau Heights Public School as their preferred alternate service location. Because pre-school care in Rideau Heights P.S. won’t be offered until January 2014, the six Oakwood families will receive interim daycare within QECVI.

Affected families are offered transportation assistance through taxi chits and bus passes until the pre-school centre at Rideau Heights is open. According to the city, all children were transferred out of Oakwood on Sept. 9, although the building remained open until mid-October. Most of the seven unionized workers affected by the closure - four full time and three part-time - have been reassigned jobs in other areas of the city, while other employees have opted for voluntary retirement. “Management worked with front line staff and CUPE to review and discuss options,” Hurdle wrote. All of Oakwood’s toys, furnishings and equipment were offered to other childcare centres or other city departments.

ate. “It is a great loss,” sobbed preschool teacher Debbie Lintner following council’s decision. Oakwood faced a projected deficit of $175,000 next year. There is no budget to absorb such a high tax subsidy in 2014 and it would go against the city’s own funding policy for daycares, staff advised in recommending the closure. Oakwood charged parents a daily rate of $80 per child, unless they qualified for subsidies. The rate would have to climb to $125 a day to balance its budget, said Hurdle. Since full-day kindergarten was re-introduced in schools in 2010, daycare enrolment of four and five year olds has steadily declined, putting the financial squeeze on centres like Oakwood. Pre-school child reg-

commit to any contribution at this time until the second Homecoming weekend takes place. “Homecoming is not over yet, and it would make sense that we will have a more complete picture of the total costs and benefits of Homecoming to the city after Oct. 20,” said Woolf. In the aftermath of Homecoming weekend, the first to return to the fall calendar

since 2008, the mayor was scheduled to meet with student government representatives to discuss town-gown relations. Many students are upset that the mayor’s social media postings are dividing citizens. But Gerretsen makes no apologies for using social media to vent his frustration and to interact with residents. “I pride myself on the fact that I’m able to connect with people so easily on Facebook and Twitter. People can send me a message and expect to receive a response that comes from

me directly.” The mayor also says he won’t have someone manage his account and monitor what he says on social media. Gerretsen later clarified his Twitter comments to say they were directed at some troublemakers and not all students. But clearly, it seems, many students remain offended by the mayor’s remarks. Some of the post-Homecoming fallout included posting a series of pictures, including one that suggested the mayor should dress up as the Frankenstein monster for Halloween.

Kingston Heritage – A landmark town-gown battle will be played out in Kingston City Hall starting Oct. 21. The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) has set aside a full week to hear arguments over whether the city’s revised electoral districts provide “effective representation.” Two main groups – Sydenham District Association and the Alma Mater Society of Queen’s University – will spend up to $50,000 in legal fees to show that city council was wrong to exclude thousands of post-secondary students as constituents in the redrawn municipal map. “Students count. All residents should count,” said Sydenham District chairman Ken Ohtake. Four neighbourhood groups representing the electoral districts of Sydenham, Williamsville, King’s Town and Portsmouth held a strategy meeting Oct. 10. Even though Sydenham is taking the lead on the appeal, other neighbourhood groups are calling on the OMB to correct “city council’s mistake.” Three formal appeals were launched against the boundary bylaw, but another 17 individuals or associations have also been granted status to make their case before the OMB. Former Sydenham ward councillor Don Rogers, who is known to be very critical of student behaviour and off-campus student housing property standards, says it’s hard to hold students accountable if they are not counted as constituents. “If I expect students to act as good citizens they, in turn, should be fully represented.” The battle lines stem from council’s 7-6 vote last April to not include college and university students in the population numbers of the city’s 12 redrawn districts. Bylaw supporters argue there is no solid scientific data to show where the students live off campus and, therefore, no accurate way to include them in the district population count. The decision, however, does not exclude students from registering and voting in municipal elections. But critics of the bylaw point to advice from the city’s own planning experts, who estimated the addresses of at least 11,000 students around Queen’s University and St. Lawrence College, and recommended that they be counted in the districts. Opponents say not including post-secondary students as constituents is undemocratic and not reflective of the basic principle of representation by population. If the revised district lines are upheld, then one downtown ward would be eliminated in order to reflect rapid population growth in the city’s suburbs. Sydenham and Williamsville districts would merge into one. Each of the 12 districts would then have roughly 11,000 constituents per councillor. However, opponents counter that including students would actually give the merged downtown district 20,000 residents, far more than other districts around the city. “I got a lot of requests for service and information from students expecting service from their coun-

The OMB hearing will take place in the council chamber which, ironically, is the same venue that spawned the boundary battle. The OMB, a quasi-judicial government body, is expected to rule on the contentious bylaw by Dec. 31 in order for the outcome to be in place for the October 2014 municipal elections. “This could be precedent setting. I expect other municipalities and student councils will be watching,” said Rogers.

In Our Opinion

Passing the Buck(s)

My unforeseen path to career happiness By Mandy Marciniak Reporter

Heritage Editorial - If someone had told me that one day I would be working as a reporter for a local Kingston newspaper, I would have told them they were crazy. In the past, reporting never entered my thoughts when I was considering my future career path. But here I am today, working in a field that I truly love. The road to get here was certainly long. I studied English in university, after realizing that my original intended major, Psychology, was not my cup of tea. My first English class at the University of Toronto was an amazing experience. I took it as an elective and fell in love as soon as I read T.S. Eliot. I knew I wanted to study further, but the idea of writing myself never really entered my thought process. When I graduated, I was bombarded with the inevitable questions: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What are you going to do with your degree? Teach?â&#x20AC;?, as if that is the only option for someone with an English degree. I knew that teaching was not going to happen. I have a great respect for teachers, but I simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the patience for it, so I began to explore other options. I came across a graduate program in Book and Magazine publishing at Centennial College in Toronto. It seemed like the perfect

fit. I envisioned myself sitting at a desk reading manuscripts, chatting with authors and receiving all the free books a girl could dream of. Sadly, that is not the reality of the publishing world, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay. While at Centennial, I discovered that I enjoy writing and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually pretty good at it. I looked forward to the classes that taught me how to write articles for magazines. Unlike English essays, I was allowed to be creative and use more colloquial language. As part of my program, I was required to do an internship at a publishing company. I chose to pursue my internship in Kingston, as my fiancĂŠe (now husband) Korey is pursuing a PhD at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. I knew nothing about Kingston and on my first day my supervisor/editor asked me to write a newspaper article for a paper that was linked to their company. I had never written for a newspaper but figured it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be far from writing for magazines, so I immediately said yes. That week, I interviewed the director of an upcoming play at the Thousand Islands Playhouse and I wrote the article. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how enjoyable it was. For the next seven weeks of my internship, I continued to write articles for the paper and each week it became what I looked forward to most. I enjoyed getting to know people in the community and learning about

exciting events. I got to know Kingston and that was the best part. I grew to love the city through my writing. After my internship I continued writing, doing some freelance work in Kingston while looking for a permanent job. This past summer I was hired by the Kingston Heritage and Frontenac Gazette for sales and administration. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit it was not my ideal job, but it led me to where I am now so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really complain. When the position of reporter became available I jumped at the chance to apply. I told myself I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it but I knew deep down that I would be. Luckily, things worked out, in a round about way, and here I am. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how thrilled I am to be in this new role. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to working on and improving my writing skills and I am excited to meet more amazing people in this city. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure my love for Kingston will continue to grow with each interview I do, and I hope that readers of this paper like what I produce each week. I love that the Kingston Heritage and the Frontenac Gazette focus on mainly positive, feel-good community based stories and I hope to enhance that content with my voice. I may have never visualized myself in this role a few years ago, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more pleased to be in it now.

8 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, October 17, 2013

Â Heritage Editorial - The Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) released a report last month that ought to be considered standard reading before a weary country begins the long slog towards a 2015 election date. It unequivocally shows that in order for Conservatives to achieve their dream of a country running surplus by 2015, paying down the national debt 25 per cent by 2021, and off entirely by 2044, they will have downloaded hundreds of billions in healthcare and assorted social costs to the provinces - and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the least bit sorry.Â The problem, the PBO underlined, is that health and social costs do not march in lockstep with economic increases, as they are in the Conservativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transfer scheme. In fact, with aging populations and the surging costs of new treatments, the opposite is true. For example, ballooning health care costs will leave the Province of Ontario with a debt to GDP ratio of 359.9 per cent by 2088 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; debt levels that would make even the Greeks blush. That means that, in the absence of additional help from Ottawa, provinces will be left with the extremely difficult choice of either raising corporate, sales or excise taxes in order to fill the funding void, or seeking greater assistance from the private sector. It is easy to see how, in the not-too-distant future, Ontarians could be faced with a 10 to 15 per cent provincial sales tax, as well as the prospect of having to seek private healthcare insurance Therefore, we feel that it would be disingenuous for the Conservative Party of Canada to run on a platform of fiscal responsibility in 2015, because they have not made a compelling case for privatized healthcare or vastly increased taxation, even though their decision to tie provincial transfers to increases in the economy will have precisely one of those effects (and very likely both of them, at least to some degree). Make no mistake, the federal Conservatives are sure run their 2015 campaign based on their slaying of the dreaded deficit monster. We believe that Canadians deserve to know how this feat was accomplished, and we imagine many will not be pleased when they find out.Â

Queen’s students rally for mental health By Kelly Reid Reporter

Heritage News - On Oct. 9, Queen’s students and the community joined together to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week. Some of the committees represented included the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Peer Support Centre, which is run by the Alma Mater Society and the Mental Health Awareness Committee (MHAC). In addition to guest speakers, the rally had drop-in information booths, games, and tshirt giveaways. A key part of the rally involved a large group of students clad entirely in black lining up along University Avenue, with every fourth student wearing a green t-shirt. “The statistic is that one in four students will experience a mental health crisis during their time here,” says MHAC member Haley Warren. The line was meant to create a visual representation of this figure. Dr. Mike Condra, director of Queen’s Health, Counselling and Disability Services, was one of the speakers at the rally. He addressed the crowd with sobering statements. “There are a significant number of students here with mental problems,” he said. “We encourage people to support young people in particular. It’s a time when many mental health problems are likely to emerge.” Dr. Condra, along with a representative from the Canadian Mental Health Association, urged students to break the silence surrounding mental illness and to work towards reducing stigma. “We encourage you to listen

and spend time talking to each other,” said Dr. Condra. He also spoke about the resources available to students, including and the Peer Support Centre MHAC. Warren, who co-chairs MHAC, is currently in her fourth year and studying psychology. She has been involved with MHAC for the last two years, and believes that the committee continues to accomplish a lot in the Queen’s community. “Within the last two years they’ve kind of restructured,” she explains, saying that the smaller group is able to focus more closely on student issues. For instance, each month the committee holds a speaker series. “We always target depression, anxiety, and eating disorders,” says Warren, “because those are the three most likely to affect Queen’s students. But it’s really open to everyone.” In the future, she would like to see MHAC expand its presence on campus. “Hopefully it just continues to grow and gain an audience,” she says. Warren has found that her time volunteering with MHAC has been one of the most rewarding activities she’s been involved with. “I would say that MHAC has been my best experience,” says Warren. “I learned so much about myself. I really want to go into public health because I really want to do what MHAC does for the rest of my life.” To learn more about mental health resources at Queen’s and in the community, visit www.amspeersupport.com or www.kingston.org/cmha.

Howe Island proclamation plaque unveiled By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news- A large bronze plaque, solidly erected in a cement pad, was recently unveiled on Howe Island in Sunset Park near the Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot ferry. The plaque, beautifully crafted, commemorates the date of July 16, 1792 when General John Graves Simcoe (Upper Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lieutenant Governor) named by proclamation the island â&#x20AC;&#x153;Howeâ&#x20AC;? after General Sir William Howe. The plaque was unveiled by Frontenac Islands Deputy Mayor David Jones and Jim Mills both from Howe Island. Mayor Denis Doyle was also present for this event.. Jones reminded the audience of occasion at the park in 2009 when he suggested celebrating the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and its proclamation as Howe, calling for volunteers to make it happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was quite moved so many put up their

hands to get involved. After a couple of meetings it was recognized little could happen at that time . However the committee reconvened in 2010, Jim Mills stepped up as Chair, and historical research and event planning began in earnest. Howe Islanders will recall the rousing success of the first Proclamation Day Event held on July 16, 2011 at the grounds of the islands Municipal Building and Fire Hall. At that time a replica of a proposed plaque (to be crafted in bronze) was dedicated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who can forget Bruce Burgess as General Howe on that day, hobby horse in towâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest is history. The event was a smashing success,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But today is about the plaque and as we dedicate it, it is appropriate to thank those who played a part in getting us here.â&#x20AC;? The Deputy Mayor went to name and thank all volunteers, far too many to list here.

He had high praise for them all and their individual roles, and once again thanked Jim Mills for the important role he played. He spoke of wonderful ticket sales, the many donations at the time and major contributions from Gene Manion, Steve Sorenson, The Harrison and the Murray Families . Jim Pritchard and Brian Humphries were recognized as having much to do with the historical research for the plaque and the words it contains, and Robin Craig â&#x20AC;&#x153; for the firm base upon which it rests.â&#x20AC;? There were exclamations of approval as the brilliant blue plaque, embossed with the words of the proclamation , and a raised replica of Howe Island was unveiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget July 16th in perpetuity is Howe Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Proclamation date,â&#x20AC;? Jones concluded. FYI- Councillor Patrick Norris was the recipient of Howe Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1st Proclamation Day Award on that occasion. A Comment: Last week an article about the death and funeral of Friar Stewart Laverty from Wolfe Island, was not published in the Kingston Heritage, probably due to space, and I should not have been surprised

There are just too many funerals for Kingston paper to handle with so much other news. It was Friar Lavertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his wish to get home to Wolfe Island that struck a cord with me and prompted me to write it. â&#x20AC;ŚLiving on Wolfe Island is different. It is a ferry dependant, small, very visible community . The truth is everyone knows everyone else at least to say hello, on the ferry, in the ferry line up, in the village, the post office, at local meetings, school and community events or at church. Islanders know if residents are cottagers, or new comers, if they are born and raised on the island. They welcome visitors yet at the same time they are very aware of strangers. And more than anything else they know when Islanders travel by ambulance, are in hospital or dieâ&#x20AC;Ś They know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening, good or bad within minutes and that before the advent of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;social media.â&#x20AC;? Each illness is of concern. Each death is deeply felt . And the loss of life-long islanders, the holders of the Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, is keenly acknowledged.â&#x20AC;Ś So this week I mention the Dr. George Merry Family, and offer the sympathy of the community on the passing of much loved, wife, mother, grandmother and Nurse, Mary Catherine Merry. Our sympathy. Older islanders remember the Medical Clinic trailer located on Merry property and Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care and concern for many.

She will be missed. Around Town:*Howe Island Councillor Pat Norris has resigned from Frontenac Islands Council effective Sept.30th. Norris, a lifetime resident of Howe Island has served the island, Frontenac County and now Frontenac Islands in one capacity or another for nearly 40 bringing wisdom and experience to the task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a shameâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? * The relationship of the WI Scene of the Crime Festival to the community is well known as are their efforts to give back to the community. Most recently they commissioned the restoration of the Longueuil monument in the Trinity Anglican Church Cemetery. Grant Allen , patron author of the Festival was the grandson of the last Baroness de Longueuil who is buried there. His father Joseph Allen was Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first minister. The re-dedication of Grant Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family monument will take place on Sunday, October 20th,at 11:00 am, in the Trinity Anglican Church cemetery. * FYI- WI Community Euchre has moved to St. Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall, Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 7pm. * Horneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ferry season ends Oct. 20th .

Paddles Up: Kingston’s Chestmates Dragon Boat Team prepares for “Pink Olympics” with special fundraiser Heritage Events - A diagnosis of breast cancer is a devastating event for anyone, but the women on Breast Cancer Action Kingston’s (BCAK) Chestmates Dragonboat team are on a mission to prove that it doesn’t have to mean the end of hope, strength or even athleticism. The team, which is made up of women who have been diagnosed with and/or survived breast cancer, is planning on attending the 2014 International Dragon Boat Festival in Sarasota, Florida next year. There, they will join over 100 other survivor teams from around the world to share their common message of hope after diagnosis. “We’ve heard that there will be over 100 teams showing up,” says Chestmates member Sarah Emery. “The neat thing is, there are teams from [all over the world, including places like] Indonesia. In some of those countries, when you get a diagnosis of breast cancer you’re hidden away. And all of a sudden now these teams are competing, and they’re no longer shunned away with a diagnosis of breast cancer.” The “Pink Olympics”, as the International Dragon Boat Festival is commonly called, have taken place every four years since the first event was held in Vancouver in 1995. The Chestmates attended the last one, held in Peterborough in 2010, but this will be the first year they have travelled as a team to another country. Emery, who has been with the Chestmates since 2004, remarks that it’s a great way to celebrate and build upon the remarkable support system dragon boating provides for members of survivor teams. “When I have questions about where my journey has taken me with breast cancer in terms of treatment options, reconstructive surgery options, [etc.], everybody on the team has had their own experience and we can talk about it, we can get support. When we lose a member, we’re together. We can discuss it and talk about it and keep paddling for that lost member. It’s important.” Attending the international event, she says, expands this feeling of camaraderie 1,000 fold, with team members from around the world ranging in age from 20-somethings to 80-somethings all sharing their experiences. “And the amazing piece that I

see is it’s an interesting way for the loved ones of our members to see their breast cancer loved one in a different light,” Emery adds. The Chestmates will bring the Kingston flag with them to Sarasota to be part of a very special, emotional ceremony celebrating the hometowns of all the teams and the strength of their members. “The way they did it in Vancouver - and I’m sure they’re going to do something like this in Sarasota is they had a member of every team walk the city flag on the stage,” Emery says, tearing up. “And they announced their name and their age. There were a lot of young moms, and they walked on with their twoyear-olds and three-year-olds. You could just see [their strength and what they had been through], you could feel it.” In order to raise money to make trip to Sarasota possible, the Chestmates are holding a furniture revival and art auction, taking place at the Harbour Restaurant Oct. 20 from noon – 4 p.m. The timing of the event is fitting, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “It’s getting people talking about this crazy disease,” Emery says, noting that statistically one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer, and that the disease doesn’t discriminate when it comes to age. “It’s getting people to think about it, and it’s also hopefully getting people to help us raise some funds so that we can take our team down there for this international event.” The furniture revival and art auc-

tion will feature the work of over 70 local artists, who have revitalized or re-purposed donated furniture, or provided an original art piece for the fundraiser. “The artists have been working on some of these pieces for months,” says Emery, adding that the works started coming in last week and are all beautiful. “It’s amazing to see these artists in the Kingston community supporting us.” Tickets for the fundraiser are $25, and will include a pink champagne reception in celebration of breast cancer awareness month.

Loving Spoonful and Calvin Park students preserve apples for change By Mandy Marciniak Reporter

Heritage News – Preserving and canning may be activities many associate with their grandparents, but for Grade 8 students at Calvin Park Public School this practical activity became a fun way to pass a Monday morning. As part of the Challenge for Change program, students worked with Loving Spoonful volunteers on Oct. 7 to preserve apples for the winter. The Challenge for Change program, which has been modified slightly from last year, is all about students making a difference in their community and coming up with projects that positively affect those around them. “Last year students did projects individually and we had a lot of projects competing for media coverage and…cases where projects weren’t completed, so we took it upon ourselves to do more of a class-based project this year,” explained Dawn Williams, teacher for the participating Grade 8 class. “The whole idea is to get them involved in the community and get them thinking local and acting globally. We really want to focus on giving back to the community and making a difference with whatever we choose to do.” By partnering with Loving Spoonful, an organization that provides donated fresh, healthy produce to those in need, students learned how to properly prepare apples for preservation. In two hours, they preserved three bushels of apples.

“Most of the apples we are working with came from our Grow-a-Row project and through donation,” explained Carolina McDonald, who volunteers with Loving Spoonful. “We are preserving apples in three ways. We have a dehydrator to make apple rings, which is great to show the students that you can do that on your own, and we are freezing and canning with a bit of syrup. It’s great because it is educational for them and it helps us. We will distribute the apples to different agencies around town throughout the winter.” The activity also ties into the Preserve Reserves program that Loving Spoonful started in mid-July of this year. Volunteers meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays and preserve fruit or vegetables that have been donated and are at risk of spoiling. “Every summer, there is always an overwhelming amount of one type of produce. Last summer it was tomatoes and this summer it was zucchini and when that happens the agencies can’t take it all so the best way to deal with the excess is through preserving it,” said McDonald, “After the Christmas season agencies struggle a little so this helps with that as well.” This is the first time Loving Spoonful has worked with a class at Calvin Park on a project and while it was a little overwhelming teaching 25 students how to prepare, preserve and can apples, McDonald enjoyed the experience and hopes to work with more students in the future. “It has been really great. I knew that they would be patient and helpful and they cer-

Grade eight students at Calvin Park Public School worked with Loving Spoonful to prepare apples for preservation. Photo/Mandy Marciniak tainly have been that. We did three bushels of apples this morning and we probably could have done more because all of the stu-

dents have been so great and so productive. They are really enjoying it and it is great to be able to pass these skills on to them.”

With so many different avenues and opportunities to pursue, a lack of funds shouldn’t be a deterrent for anyone who wants to enroll in college. The Academy of Learning College in Kingston is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to advising students on ways to invest in their education. The college admissions office is a great place to start. Its many services include putting students in touch with various funding agencies, such as financial institutions and the Ontario Student Assistance Program, and helping students create a budget. No stone should be left unturned when it comes to finding the funds to reach your goals. The Academy of Learning suggests asking your employer if sponsorship funding is available. It may also be possible to receive sponsorship from outside agencies and admission office representatives can provide direction for applications.

Other options include using an RRSP to fund your education, contacting an Employment Ontario office to see if government support is available or visiting CanLearn.ca to see if you qualify for a grant. Those with disabilities or with dependents may be able to find additional support. Since it only takes 20 hours of study per week to be considered a full-time student, working parttime is a great way to keep college affordable. Many who continue to work while attending post secondary education often need only a small loan. To make financing your education more manageable, the Academy of Learning College can help you put together a payment plan that meets your budget. Financial planning is important to prevent stress that can come with worrying about money. To find out how the Academy of Learning can help with your individual needs, call 613-544-8973.

Handmade creations in support of society’s smallest citizens By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Heritage News - Seven years ago, Rebecca Evans lived through a parent’s worst nightmare when her tiny, two-hour old daughter, Makaila, passed away in her arms. “She only weighed one pound eight ounces and was maybe 10 inches long,” Evans says with a tear in her eye. “She was very tiny.” August, 2013 marked the seventh anniversary of Makaila’s passing, and Evans decided that she wanted to do something to give back to and comfort other parents who are going through a similar struggle. Teaming up with her mother, Theresa Hottot, a talented knitter and crocheter, Evans created a Facebook group called MNE Homemade Creations

by Mother and Daughter, where community members can order custom, handmade hats, outfits and blankets. “MNE” are the initials of each of Evans’ three children, including 15-year-old Melissa and four-year-old Matthew, in addition to Makaila. Proceeds are donated to the Kingston General Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where newborns requiring extra medical help to survive are taken. On Oct. 15, which has been designated Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, Evans also brought a basket full of teddy bears and colourful knitted creations down to the NICU to help comfort the babies in the unit and their families. The package was inspired by a teddy bear, dress and tiny knitted hat

she was given at the hospital after having and losing Makaila. Today, Evans keeps the bear and hat in a frame in memory of her daughter. “It makes me feel good that I’m giving back,” she says, noting that she remembers all too well how painful it can be to watch your child suffer and fight for their life. “I know it’s hard to keep going every day, but you’ve just got to try.” Hottot, who has been knitting ever since she was five years old, says that she is very proud of her daughter for initiating the project. “This was her idea, and I said ‘well, I’ll help you’”, she says. “[Rebecca] will send me a picture and all I have to do is look at it and I can make it.” So far, Hottot has created ev-

erything from hats inspired by the Minions movie to a newborn Mickey Mouse suit to Thanksgivingthemed turkey hats and more. Since August, she already has made more than 200 hats. “It makes me very proud [to see a child wearing one of my hats],” Hottot remarks. Evans agrees that one of the best parts is seeing how happy the hats make the children: “I delivered two hats to a lady at Walmart. She took the hats right away, put them on her little girls and they walked out of the store wearing them, which I thought was really cute. It made them smile, and just seeing the expressions on the children’s faces makes me happy.” And word of MNE Homemade Creations is spreading fast. “A lot of people are now aware of what I’m do-

ing,” Evans says. “Lately I’ve had a lot of people contacting me back wanting more hats, so we’re trying to keep up.” While the ideas behind most of the pieces come from Evans herself, who draws inspiration from creations she finds at craft shows and online, customers can also send pictures of specific designs they would like Hottot to recreate. For more information, or to order a hat, visit the Facebook group MNE Homemade Creations by Mother and Daughter.

Affleck film offers common theme, predictable result

This ad space was generously donated by: WHEN EVERY SECOND MATTERS, DOCTORS NEED THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB Hotel Dieu Hospital’s Urgent Care Centre plays an important role for many patients seeking time-sensitive medical care in a busy downtown setting. Working closely with the Emergency Department at Kingston General Hospital, the Urgent Care Centre’s role is to serve patients whose illness or injuries are not life-threatening but are serious enough to require prompt medical attention.

Arts – Heroes getting entangled in impossible situations has been a common theme of late. Runner Runner is one of the better films along those lines though that’s not saying much. As the son of a gambler Ritchie Furst (Justin Timberlake) understands risk. With every move he make he calculates his odds. So when he decides to win his tuition to Princeton by playing on-line poker he’s fairly confident he can do it. At first everything goes according to the numbers, and Ritchie looks like he might pull it off right up to the moment he loses it all. It’s one thing to lose playing poker, but it’s something entirely different to be cheated. Ritchie does a little number crunching, and spots a flaw in the on-line program that’s allowing someone to cheat. Ritchie decides to take one more risk, and fly down to Costa Rica to confront the man who owns the site; Ivan Block (Ben Affleck). In the world of on-line gambling no one is bigger or more powerful than Ivan Block. He’s also most wanted by the F.B.I. which is why he operates out of Costa Rica. Nonetheless Ritchie walks into one of Block’s parties to bring him the proof that someone is using his site to cheat. You might expect Block to throw Ritchie out or worse, but he doesn’t. Instead Block meets with Ritchie the next day and

From time-to-time, however, patients arrive at Urgent Care who may be sicker than they think. For the emergency medicine physicians who care for them, getting a treatment plan in place as quickly as possible is essential. Technology, such as portable ultrasound machines, can help save precious time. Dr. Louise Rang, the Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Director for the Department of Emergency Medicine explains that a portable ultrasound machine that can be wheeled to the bedside helps emergency physicians get important information fast. “We use it for patients that are potentially too sick to leave the department,” she says. “If you can answer specific clinical questions at the bedside, you’ve done that patient a favour. Because presumably when you get a diagnosis, you can get a management plan in place faster.”

MOVIE: Runner Runner STARRING: Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake, Gemma Arterton, and Anthony Mackie DIRECTOR: Brad Furman RATING: 14A

Shaving off half an hour, an hour or two hours in time, will usually translate into better patient outcomes. Two of the ultrasound machines are in use at KGH, where Dr. Rang says she will use it on 8- 10 people every shift. There is an older machine at Hotel Dieu that is in need of replacement. That’s why hospital officials have asked that proceeds from the first-ever signature Leadership Breakfast held by the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation in support of Hotel Dieu will raise funds for a new portable ultrasound machine for Urgent Care. Between the two hospitals, Dr. Rang says there are typically four things emergency physicians look for with bedside ultrasound. “We check the heart to see if it has fluid around it; check the abdomen for signs of intra-abdominal bleeding; measure the aorta to ensure it’s not dilated, and look to see if a pregnant woman’s pregnancy is in the correct location within the uterus.” While many patients with those types of illnesses will go to the Emergency Department at KGH, some are able to walk into the Urgent Care centre. When their care team can provide an ultrasound at the bedside, it means their treatment can be expedited. That may include being sent directly into emergency surgery at KGH, without having to stop in the Emergency Department.

offers him a job. It’s the chance of a lifetime and Ritchie jumps at it. Ritchie finds himself doing the kind of work he was born to do, and living the kind of life he’s dreamed of living. What he doesn’t realize is when you start out on that slippery slope you have no idea how steep it is until the slide is out of control. When F.B.I. agent Shavers (Anthony Mackie) grabs him to shake him down, Ritchie begins to see Block has him trapped with no way to win. On the surface Runner Runner is a slick looking film. It’s set in the tropical paradise of Costa Rica, it has a smart and attractive cast, and there’s an intriguing plot centred around corruption and the world of on-line casinos. Now scratch that surface and you get kind of a mediocre and predictable story. It’s not a terrible film by any means. It’s well acted and well executed, but it doesn’t have anything special either. You know the characters and the story from a hundred other films just like it, and Runner Runner fails to put any kind of a fresh spin on it. This is a smart and attractive cast though. Gemma Arterton heats up the screen. Anthony Mackie is surprisingly good as the hardnosed F.B.I. agent. Justin Timberlake is very good as Ritchie, and Ben Affleck nails the corrupt Block. Did I need to see Runner Runner in the theatres? No. Is it a good movie to throw into the DVD player? Absolutely. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Dr. Rang sees the value of portable ultrasound technology virtually every day. Her first experiences with it came when she was a resident doing a rotation in a Baltimore trauma unit where there were a lot of stabbings. “Bedside ultrasound was relatively new then, and some attendings were comfortable with ultrasound while others weren’t. If a patient was stabbed in the chest, and the bedside ultrasound showed that they had fluid around their heart, they went to the operating room within 15 minutes. If no ultrasound was used it often took much longer— perhaps an hour,” she says. “About half of the patients who had delayed care would die, whereas almost all of the ones that made it to the operating room within 15 minutes survived. That was pretty convincing.” Here in Kingston, ruptured aneurysms are among the most dramatic discoveries made through ultrasound. “A lot of those patients come in looking really sick, but you’re not sure what’s wrong. They may or may not be able to tell you their symptoms. Once you see that they have a large aneurysm on bedside ultrasound, you can call the surgical team and be up to the operating room very quickly.” Ultrasound technology is also vitally important for patients who face significant anxiety when something may be going wrong with an early pregnancy. “When you can tell a mom and her partner that the pregnancy is where it should be, that it’s not a tubal pregnancy, patients are very grateful,” she says. “Often seeing a heartbeat will bring tears to their eyes. And for those with a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, they can start on a management plan in an expeditious manner . We see a lot of moms like that.” The new ultrasound machine that Hotel Dieu hopes to purchase with proceeds from the Leadership Breakfast was trialed on the battlefield, Dr. Rang says. “They are meant to be ultraportable and ultra-durable, which is what we need here.”

New physiotherapy clinic opens in Amherstview By Mandy Marciniak Reporter

Heritage News – For many, physiotherapy has been associated with a long, drawn-out path to recovery, but for clients at the new clinic in Amherstview this is certainly not the case. Jafar Abdul has been working in Physiotherapy for the past 12 years, and his goal is to turn over clients as fast as possible. “The motive and mission for us is the quicker the patient can recover the better,” explained Abdul. “We want to get the best result quickly. We don’t want to be treating them over a series of weeks. We want to make client turnover as fast as possible and make sure that they get the treatment and satisfaction they want.” Abdul opened Loyalist Family Physiotherapy on Sept. 3, and has seen a steady increase in clients

over the past month. He and his partner, who focuses on running a clinic downtown, felt like Amherstview was a perfect fit for a new location. “We have been here for a month now and we’ve been more successful than we anticipated. The community response has been great. We did a survey in Amherstview before choosing to open here and the area is definitely growing fast and they needed a physiotherapy clinic. There are many variations in population out here too. There are seniors and families and there is an athletic population so with all that in mind, we thought that the area would greatly benefit from our clinic.” Abdul studied in India originally, completing both undergraduate and master’s degrees in musculoskeletal studies before coming to Queen’s to further his research. He graduated from Queen’s and spent time working

in private clinics and long-term care facilities for seniors, but the goal was always to open a clinic of his own. His focus is not very traditional when it comes to physiotherapy treatments, but he believes in team treatment. “My treatments work really well for me and my clients. I had a lady who went to the chiropractor and tried massage and then she came here and tried us and what worked for her was a combination of all three - chiropractic, massage and physiotherapy. “I really am a believer in team health and working together with other professionals to get results,” added Abdul. “Nobody wants to be in pain so the quicker we can get rid of the pain the better it is for them. I encourage all of my clients to use other methods while they are doing

physiotherapy. They will see fastest results that way.” Abdul also deals with a number of sports related injuries, and his goal is always to get the athlete back in their sport as fast as possible. “I had a client who was a swimmer and she had a lot of shoulder pain and after a few consecutive treatments she has no more pain. It’s really great to see. Especially with kids that are in sports, we want to get them back into the sports that they love as fast as possible.” While Abdul is still building up his new clientele, he is thinking about long-term goals too. One of his goals is to open a full wellness clinic that

will serve all age groups. “Long term goal is to upgrade into a wellness clinic which will have physiotherapy and will also have some classes, like fall prevention classes for seniors. We want to grow in two directions : one is a wellness clinic and the other is a sports clinic. We want to be able to focus on all areas but specifically on these two areas,” explained Abdul. “We are getting there, and we hope to continue on that path.” Loyalist Family Physiotherapy is located at 6 Speers Blvd. in Amherstview.

The Sydenham Golden Eagles were successful in both games this year beating the Bayridge junior Blazers 41-0 and the senior Blazers 23-0 Photos/John Harman

Country music party comes to the Grand with Your Town Throwdown tour By Hiba Kesebi Reporter

Heritage Entertainment - Kingston will be rocking to country music Oct. 25. That’s because the Your Town Throwdown Tour will be coming to the city and bringing along with it a trio of award-winning country music artists: Jason Blaine, Chad Brownlee and Deric Ruttan. The 26 day tour kicked off in Summerside, P.E.I. Oct. 16 and will travel from coast to coast, wrapping up the party in British Columbia in November. “There will be some collaboration and we will be singing together,” says Brownlee, noting that he likes to keep an element of surprise to his performances. “My hopes are leaving people wanting more when they leave the venue. It’s all about them and bringing them a good time,” he adds. Anyone who knows Brownlee knows he’s more than just a country-singer. In fact, the British

Columbia native is a man of many talents. He’s a singer, songwriter, philanthropist and NHL draft pick for the Vancouver Canucks in 2003. “Hockey was my old love. It was my past life and it was everything that I put my heart and soul into for a lot of years,” says Brownlee. However, “injuries were the beginning of the end for me. I had surgeries on both my shoulders. “When I started counting down seconds sitting on the bench, I knew it was time for a change and music was waiting there for me.” Even while playing hockey, music was a passion for Brownlee. He started playing the piano when he was eight and picked up the guitar at 17. Though he never thought he will make music a career because of his focus on hockey, he recalls taking out his guitar after a hockey game and playing for his teammates. “It was a bit of a gamble. I basically jumped into the music industry blind not knowing anybody or anything about it. Fortunately,

Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA), where he previously won the Rising Star Award in 2011 and was the winner of the CCMA New Artist Showcase in 2010. He has also earned a 2013 Juno Award nomination for Country Album of the Year and has taken home a total of 11 British Columbia Music Association Awards since the start of his country music career. In addition to his musical en-

it has wound up to where it is today,” he says. Brownlee released his debut album in 2010, and since then has had seven Top 10 hits on Canadian country radio, including the singles “Crash,” “Smoke In The Rain,” “Listen,” and “Day After You.” He just recently released his newest single, “Where The Party At?,” in September. He is currently nominated for Male Artist of the Year at the 2013

ALL

deavours, last summer Brownlee partnered with the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation to share the joy of music with the campers by leading music workshops across the country. Brownlee will be performing at the Grand Theatre in Kingston alongside Blaine and Ruttan.

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, October 17, 2013 25

Ryan Malcolm returns home to revive beloved role By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Heritage Entertainment - It’s more than just his dark glasses and musical talent that makes Ryan Malcolm the perfect fit for the role of rock legend Buddy Holly. “I grew up on great ‘50s rock ‘n roll, and Buddy Holly is the epitome of that era,” says Malcolm, who stars in the Kinsmen Club of Kingston’s 75th anniversary production of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story. “[The music] is part of who I am, so for me it’s not a big stretch because I know Buddy Holly so well that it feels very right.” Many locals will remember the massively successful Kinsmen production of The Buddy Holly Story in 2010, which also featured the Canadian Idol winner in the title role and sold out every show. This year’s revival involves many of the same people, including director Moira Davies and Malcolm’s brother, Regan, who is once again playing a member of Buddy Holly’s band, The Crickets. “My dad, John, it actually a part of it this year too, which is a nice treat for

the viewers,” Malcolm adds. The show opens Nov. 7 at the Grand Theatre, and Malcolm notes that rehearsals are currently in full swing. “We’re doing about six days a week right now,” he says. “It’s [an enjoyable experience] not only for the two weeks of show, but also the month and a half of rehearsals. It’s like going back to school and seeing all of your old friends because there are so many of the old cast members.” Even the script and the songs are a lot like old friends in many ways. “It’s definitely a lot easier this time around for sure,” Malcolm says. “I sort of looked at the script a few times and thought ‘oh yes, I remember that now’. It’s been a little less stressful this time and a little more enjoyable.” The production is also a very special homecoming for Malcolm from a more personal standpoint. Recently, he and his girlfriend, Rebecca, moved to El Castillo, Costa Rica to open their own restaurant, Tres Cabras, on the property of a bed and breakfast called Nepenthe. “I’d been living in Toronto for 10 years, so it was time for a change,”

inexpensive indulgence

Malcolm says. “We went to Nepenthe and met the owners, Gordon and Nancy, and created a friendship. And we don’t like winter - I hate cold weather - so it was a pretty natural thing. This is something I’ve wanted to do for so long. I travel quite a bit and I’ve definitely always preferred the warm climates and a more slow-paced lifestyle than Toronto.” Malcolm came home to be a part of The Buddy Holly Story, and will be returning to El Castillo right after the show closes on Nov. 16. “This is a nice way to sort of say goodbye for a while, because this will definitely be the last time I’ll be performing in Kingston for at least a few years. So it’s a great privilege for me to sort of say goodbye to the Grand Theatre. It’s such a great venue and a fantastic opportunity to me.” He adds that the experience is made even more special by the fact that the show marks the 75th anniversary of the Kinsmen’s annual musical: “That is a huge, huge deal. I think everyone who came the last time will enjoy this time even more because we do have a few surprises and a few added cast members. It’s going to be a fantastic show.” The Buddy Holly Story runs at The Grand Theatre Nov. 7 - 9, and 12 – 16, with matinees on the both Saturdays. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. for matinees. Tickets can be purchased Ryan Malcolm as Buddy Holly. through the Grand Theatre.

How to improve your home’s curb appeal Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around. A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a wellmaintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget. * Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many hom-

eowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto

the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult

do-it-yourself project. * Take to the trees. Many hom-

eowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home. * Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters. * Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges,

away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible. * Make sure all plants, including flowers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and flowers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the impression that you didn’t pay much attention to your property. Make sure all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can replant new flowers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose lowmaintenance varieties that appeal to buyers who want good vibrant plants but might not want to put in much work into the garden. When selling a home, homeowners can employ a number of tactics to improve their home’s curb appeal.

How to winterize your lawn Every weekend of the last few months you have spent mowing, weeding, edging, and trimming your lawn so that it will look its best. In order to ensure your lawn makes a complete recovery after winter hibernation, you may want to spend the fall taking steps to help your lawn survive the winter months ahead. Winterizing a lawn varies depending on where you live and how harsh a typical winter is. There are certain key tasks to complete before you can rest for the winter season. * Remove fallen leaves and debris. Leaf cleanup is among the tasks hom-

eowners dread the most. Raking leaves can be arduous, but it is well worth the effort. Fallen leaves can smother the grass and lead to dead spots and decay next season. Wait until the majority of the leaves have fallen from the trees before you begin to rake; otherwise, you could find yourself repeating the process throughout the fall. Mulched leaves can be added in small amounts to garden beds to provide rich organic material for next year’s crop of flowers. Be sure to pick up any twigs and other debris as well. Additional debris can become up trapped under snow

and hinder grass growth when spring arrives. * Cut your lawn short. Unless the season is unseasonably wet and warm, your lawn shouldn’t grow too much in October and November. Continue to cut your lawn until there is no visible growth for about two weeks. It pays to give it a short cut before frost arrives so that long piles of dead grass will not smother any new growth in the spring. Also, long grass tends to bend down upon itself, trapping moisture that can lead to fungal diseases like snow mold. * Aerate the lawn. Soil can be compacted over time, especially in yards that see heavy foot traffic. You can rent an aerator from a lawn supply store so that water and fertilizer can We Guarantee the following: reach the soil. • Custom 3D Designs with our B.C.I.N. * Fertilize.

sider a slow-release formula designed for winterizing that will feed the lawn all winter long. * Edge the garden beds. Take advantage of the cooler weather and slow-growing grass to re-edge around flower beds. Even though the grass above the surface of the soil will stop growing, the roots will remain viable and the lawn will still be sending out rhizomes and tillers to produce new grass blades in the spring. These can easily encroach on garden beds. Edge now so you will have less work to do in the spring. * Trim hedges and trees. If there are any overhanging tree branches or shrubbery blocking sunlight from reaching the lawn, cut back these areas once the foliage has thinned. Take advantage of your town’s leaf and twig pickup services. * Seed bare patches. Scour the lawn for bare patches and put

down some seed in these areas. The cooler weather will enable the seeds to germinate without having to compete with weed growth. Once you have prepared your lawn for the winter you can bring in any lawn tools that need repair and have them set and packed away for the spring.

How to save on home improvement projects

With the economy still struggling, money is tight for many homeowners. That reality can present a problem to those who want to improve their homes without spending too much money. The cost of a home improvement project depends on a host of factors, including the scale of the project and the availability of materials. Upscale projects like a full roof replacement will set homeowners back a substantial amount of money. In its 2011-2012 “Cost vs. Value Report,” Remodeling magazine revealed that the average cost of a such a project was nearly $38,000. However, a smaller project like a garage door replacement could be completed for fewer than $3,000. When deciding if a home improvement project is within your budget, it’s a good idea to consult such figures before choosing a project. For example, if your home is a fixer-upper, then one project may not be more urgent than another, something that may allow you to choose less expensive projects now while saving money for more expensive projects down the road. It’s also important for homeowners to know that figures such as those in the “Cost vs. Value Report” are just averages. Some projects might cost more than the average,

while others might come in well under budget. To ensure your project is one of the latter and not the former, consider the following ways to trim costs off your next home improvement project. * Avoid the DIY movement if you don’t have adequate experience. Many homeowners fall into the DIY trap, feeling they can pull off a project without hiring a professional contractor. While this is an option for those homeowners with home improvement experience, it’s an approach that’s best avoided by those without such experience. Homeowners who decide to go it alone on a home improvement project should know that mistakes are costly. One mistake could have you paying for the same materials twice: once when you begin the project, and then again when you need to hire a contractor after your efforts didn’t work out. A failed DIY project also costs you time, something homeowners hoping to sell their homes post-project cannot afford to waste. * Hire the right contractor. The best contractor for the job won’t necessarily be the one who comes in with the lowest estimate. The right contractor will know how long a project will take and what the materials will cost. The wrong contractor, who might lack the experience

of his competitors, might make empty promises that ultimately cost you more money via overrun costs. Find a contractor who comes highly recommended and is willing to provide references and show you his or her past projects like the one you’re hiring him or her undertake. If you hire the wrong contractor, the project may never be completed and you may find yourself in court, where the money you had budgeted for home improvements is being spent on lawyers instead. * Consider supplying your own materials. If you diligently research your project, you should be able to buy the materials yourself, even if you plan on hiring a contractor to do the work. Some contractors mark up the materials as a means of padding the bill. If you research the project and learn about the materials you want to use, you can save a substantial amount of money buying those materials yourself and then hiring a contractor. * Don’t overlook recycled materials. Buying recycled materials is another way to reduce home improvement costs. Bathroom fixtures, doors, flooring, and lighting are just a few of the materials that are commonly recycled and resold at a fraction of the cost of new materials. Shop around for stores in your area

or peruse the Internet for recycled materials. Homeowners undertaking a replacement project rather than a remodel might even be eligible for tax breaks if they donate their old materials. * Choose projects that provide more bang for your buck. Another way to save is to choose projects that provide a strong return on your investment. The “Cost vs. Value Report” compares the cost of popular remodeling projects with the value

those projects retain at resale. If money is a motivating factor behind your project, choose a project that will get you the most money back at resale. While the economy has not necessarily been kind to the home improvement industry, there are still plenty of homeowners looking to improve their homes. Savvy homeowners can do just that and save some money along the way by putting a few strategies to work for them.

How to increase storage in tight spaces Cozy, quaint homes attract many home buyers and renters. Be it a cottage-style house or a studio apartment, smaller living spaces often involve getting creative with storage. People live in a smaller homes for a variety of reasons. Some choose to live in a smaller home so they can be right in the thicks of things in a city or urban center. Others scale back on living space in an effort to save money. But storage space in small quarters is often at a premium, and thinking creatively is a necessity to keep the home tidy and items out of view. Rainy or chilly days are the perfect times to tackle indoor organization projects. When the outdoors isn’t beckoning, you can devote all of your attention to addressing storage issues in your home. To begin, take inventory of what you have, going through your possessions and determining what can stay and what can go. Part with anything you haven’t used in quite some time. The next step is to sort items and get organized. Then you can find a place for everything. For example, if you have a dozen bath towels but only one sauce pot, you will need to find more room for linens than kitchen cookware. You may need to borrow space from one area of the

home to give to another area. The following are some additional tips to increase space in an otherwise cramped home. * Add shelves. Increase cabinet and closet space by adding shelves into them. This may double or even triple the amount of usable space, especially if you customize the shelving to fit storage containers you use to store everything from shoes to craft items. * Opt for dual-purpose furniture. Benches with lids that lift up and sofas that convert into guest beds are just a few of the many ways you can keep a small home neat and increase storage space. An ottoman is a great place to store extra blankets and linens, while a trunk or crate with a sturdy top can be used in lieu of a traditional coffee table to keep books or board games. * Think vertically. When floor space is at a premium, you may need to look up for storage. Frequently used pots and pans can be hung from a decorative rack in your kitchen. Use magnets on jars to store a spice rack on the wall near the stove. Racks above cabinets or on doors can be used to store everything from shoes to jewelry to toiletries. Shelving in children’s rooms can store lesser used toys away from

the floor. Empty walls are valuable real estate in a small home, and tall bookshelves can house a number of different things. * Take advantage of oddly shaped crevices. If you have space under a staircase or a spot by a dormer or in an attic eave, use the space to store items. You may need to get creative, such as adding a door and small closet into the staircase, but such spaces make practical storage areas and add character to a home. * Use see-through storage containers. Many people find that plastic storage bins are neater and more stackable than boxes. See-through bins enable you to quickly find items so that you are not searching around the house for lost items and creating a bigger mess along the way. Clear storage containers work in the refrigerator, too. You can more easily spot leftovers, and uniform stacking containers free up more room for bulkier items. * Make use of space beneath your bed. There likely is ample room to store more things than just dust bunnies beneath your bed. A bed frame with built-in drawers is the perfect place to keep bed linens and out-of-season clothes. Beds can be raised on blocks to create more space underneath for storing rolling

plastic containers and even seldomused suitcases. * Opt for an armoire. Armoires are not exclusive to bedrooms. Armoires can be used in dining spaces or in dens to store items out of sight. An armoire can be used when retrofitted with a pull-out shelf as a laptop desk, storing all office items behind closed doors when not needed. * Improve storage in the bathroom. Try to choose a vanity that has under-the-sink storage so you

will have a place to store some toiletries. Home improvement centers sell cabinets and etageres that can be placed above the toilet tank as a storage space for bathroom items. In the shower, hang a second tension-loaded shower curtain rod on the inside of the shower enclosure that can be used to hold bags of kids bath toys and other toiletries, keeping them off the tub ledges. When you think creatively, you can maximize storage space even in a small home.

How to improve indoor air quality as winter approaches With fall soon to give way to winter, many people will soon be spending more time indoors. Winter weather can be harsh, and it can be difficult for fresh air to make its way into a home once the warmer temperatures of summer and fall give way to the cold days of winter. Poor indoor air quality can cause multiple problems. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, poor indoor air quality can increase a person’s risk of developing pneumonia, and it also may aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma. The EPA also notes that long-term exposure to indoor air pollution can increase a person’s risk for heart disease, respiratory diseases and even cancer. Because indoor air pollution can be so devastating, many homeowners look for ways to improve their indoor air quality, especially before the arrival of winter, when residents of the home figure to spend such a significant amount of time indoors. Fortunately, homeowners can take many steps to do just that. * Clean with soap and water. Soap and hot water can still clean a home effectively, and this age-old combination might be the healthiest way to clean as well. Many household cleaning products contain potentially harmful ingredients that can introduce toxins and irritants into a home. Avoid such cleaners and solvents when cleaning a home. If stains

prove too stubborn for soap and water, be sure to open windows when using potentially harmful cleaners indoors. * Purchase an air filtration system. Air filtration systems vary significantly in size, cost and function. Some systems are designed to remove specific pollutants, and may not be effective at removing additional indoor air pollutants. Larger models tend to be most effective at filtering pollutants like dust, but such units are more expensive than smaller units. If your home is especially dusty, then a large filtering system may prove a worthy investment. * Open windows and doors when possible. Introducing outdoor air into a home is a great way to improve indoor air quality. Of course, opening windows and doors might not be feasible in the middle of winter. But take advantage of any such opportunities when they present themselves. For example, after cooking a big meal, open the kitchen exhaust fan to allow fresh air into the home. Such fans are not large enough to cause a significant temperature drop in the home, but they can directly remove contaminants from inside the home, like those that might be emitted from gas stoves. * Insist guests and residents remove their shoes. Chemicals can find their way into a home in a variety of ways, and you and your fellow residents or guests may be tracking them into your home on your

shoes. Keep a doormat inside all entryways, and insist guests and residents remove their shoes before entering your home. This reduces the amount of potential pollutants brought into your home and also makes cleaning the home that much easier. * Break out the mop. Vacuum cleaners can be effective at picking up pollutants inside a home, but they also can leave things behind. When a vacuum cleaner seems to be leaving some dust behind, take out the mop and, with just a little water, address the areas where dust is still lingering. Water should be enough to do the trick, and, unlike some cleaning products, water won’t be introducing any additional harmful pollutants into the home. * Smoke outside. Smoking inside a home is inviting trouble, especially during those times of year when the windows cannot be opened. Secondhand smoke is a significant source of indoor air pollution, as cigarette smoke is known to contain more than 4,000 chemicals. Smoking indoors, whether an area is well- or poorlyventilated, can be dangerous to smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke puts adults and children alike at risk of several diseases, including asthma and cancer. If you or your fellow residents or visitors must smoke, do so outdoors.

The basics of kitchen cabinet refacing Homeowners who want to give their kitchens a brand-new look without the expense or the hassle of a full-scale renovation often gravitate toward kitchen cabinet refacing. Cabinet refacing is less expensive and more eco-friendly than a full replacement of existing cabinets, and experts estimate refacing costs roughly two-thirds less than a complete cabinet renovation. Refacing involves replacing the doors and drawer fronts of existing cabinets during which the cabinet boxes are veneered to match the wood color chosen for the refacing, while the structure and layout of the cabinets remains unchanged. Essentially the kitchen footprint will remain the same as it was before the refinishing took place. Kitchens are popular rooms in the home and much of the renovation investment made in the kitchen can be recuperated at resale. Homeowners looking to put their homes up for sale soon may find cabinet refacing is beneficial, as it is a relatively quick renovation that can reap big rewards. Homeowners have options when refacing their cabinets. While some projects, such as stripping off old

paint and repainting, can be a do-ityourself project, refacing cabinets may be best left to the professionals. Veneer work, which is often part of cabinet refacing, is not a skill one can learn overnight, and it often requires the hand of a professional carpenter. Many cabinets can be resurfaced successfully. Older cabinets are prime candidates, as they often are more sturdy than newer cabinets. In general, cabinets can be refaced as long as their substructures are sound. In addition to providing a new look for the kitchen, cabinet refacing is an eco-friendly project. By not demolishing existing cabinetry, homeowners are preventing old materials from ending up in landfills while saving trees from being cut down to construct new cabinets. Refacing also reduces the amount of chemical products used in the building of new cabinets, including stains, adhesives and chemically treated wood. Homeowners can choose among wood, veneer, metal, and even glass doors as replacements in the kitchen. Coupling cabinet refacing with replacement of old appliances can completely transform the appearance of the kitchen in relatively

little time. Many refacing projects go as follows. * Measurements are taken and technical drawings are made so that new cabinet materials can be manufacturered to the kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exact specifications. * Homeowners choose the type of finish they prefer for the new cabinetry. * Manufacturing takes place, and homeowners will schedule a time when the work will commence. * Existing doors and drawer fronts will be removed and recycled or disposed of. * If cabinet frames and boxes need to be repaired in any way, some refacing companies will take care of this. * Cabinet boxes and frames are covered in a matching veneer or

plastic laminate. * The new doors and drawer fronts are installed, as are new handles, pulls and moldings to complete the look. Many companies specialize in cabinet refacing. Homeowners should request estimates from potential candidates and review work-

manship prior to hiring a particular company. Cabinet refacing is often a fast, relatively inexpensive renovation project. It can improve the appearance and functionality of a kitchen in a small amount of time, while also improving the value of a home.

Upcycling: Transforming the ‘Old’ into a Better ‘New’ (MS) -- Turn old or discarded furniture, cabinets and doors into fresh new creations through “upcycling” -- high-end “recycling” that reduces trash at landfills by refurbishing or repurposing existing pieces, often enhancing the value. Woodcraft offers the following ideas and products to get you started. Upcycling Projects * Family furniture: Save chairs, tables, and other furniture passed down through the generations by doing repairs, if needed, and staining/painting to suit your current decor. * Other furniture or “yard sale finds”: These also can be stabilized and given a new look through stain/paint or distressing, but some may also lend themselves to transformation for other uses, such as turning a chest of drawers into bookshelves, a chair into a swing, a dresser into a seat, and more. * Doors and more: Solid wood doors make great tops for tables and kitchen islands, old-fashioned screen doors hung from the ceiling can store pots and pans, and old windows make attractive wall hangings used “as is” or with additions, such as photos. * Cabinets: Change the look of your kitchen, bathroom or workshop with a new color for your cabinets and new handles and pulls.

Financing a home improvement project After years of funny financing and few limitations on loans, banks and other lenders have tightened up their lending policies. As a result, homeowners considering a home improvement project might need to look elsewhere to secure financing. There are no certainties in the real estate markets. Though statistics suggest marked improvement in home sales over just a few months ago, many homeowners remain weary about selling their home to try to move up to something bigger and better. The National Association of Home Builders says many people are choosing to stay put in their homes and remodel or make renovations to transform the house into something more comfortable. While there are many worthwhile home renovation projects, the NAHB recommends projects that bring your home up to par with the neighbors’. It doesn’t pay to transform your home into the most expensive on the street -- unless you plan to live there for the rest of your life. Real estate experts recommend that a remodeling investment increases the value of your house by no more than 10 to 15 percent above the median sales price in your neighborhood. When it comes time to finance a remodel or renovation, you may not know where to start. Credit restrictions on home mortgages that have troubled many would-be buyers have also plagued individuals looking to finance home improve-

ments. However, homeowners hoping to finance a project do have options, and not all of them require stellar credit ratings. * Borrow against a retirement plan. Many retirement plans, such as a 401(k), allow plan members to take out a portion of the savings to put toward a home loan. This does not mean you are taking money out of the account permanently. Rather, you are borrowing against yourself, with repayment necessary in a certain timeframe. Because these loans often offer very low interest rates, and essentially the interest is being paid back to you, they might be a good option for men and women who cannot secure a traditional loan. However, if you have been laid off, there may be a shorter repayment period. Also, the interest on these loans is not tax-deductible. * Borrow against other investments. CDs, bonds or mutual funds can provide the collateral you need and earn you a lower interest rate. Fixed-income investments are more stable options to borrow against, as their value won’t have a chance to decline. * Apply for a home equity loan. Many people have heard of a home equity loan, and it is usually the first choice when

borrowing funds for renovations. Essentially a home equity loan is taking out a second mortgage on your home to pay for the work you want to have done, which

is based on the equity, or the difference between the home’s fair market value and the outstanding balance of all liens on the property. The interest on these loans is tax-

deductible, which can make this financing option quite popular. * Secure a home equity line of credit. A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is another type of home equity loan. Instead of receiving a lump sum to use toward renovations like you would with a traditional home equity loan, a HELOC is sort of a credit card type scenario based on the equity in your home. You are given a line of credit, against which you can buy items. This is good for intermittent needs, when one large sum is not needed. HELOCs have a draw period, during which the borrower can use the credit, and a repayment period, during which it must be repaid. HELOCs generally have lower mortgage fees at the start and are generally subject to the same tax incentives as regular home equity loans. * Consider refinancing. Interest rates on mortgages are at historic lows. You may qualify to do a cash-out refinance, where you borrow against the value of your home and create an entirely new mortgage at the lower rate. Although

you will start your mortgage all over from day 1 and have to pay closing fees, this type of refinancing can be more advantageous to homeowners with significant equity in their homes. * Apply for a government-sponsored loan. The government may offer programs aimed at helping individuals who are underwater on their home loans borrow money to make necessary improvements. While the funding cannot be used to purchase luxury items, such as a swimming pool, it can be used for necessities. Residents of the United States can explore FHA 203(k) refinance options and an FHA title 1 improvement loan. * Discuss financing with your contractor. Some contractors may offer financing. Keep in mind that the interest rates may be high, and it may be difficult to investigate the security of these types of loans. Many homeowners also look to credit cards to help finance some home renovation projects, but they should be used as a last resort. Credit cards typically come with high interest rates, and while they are good for some small projects, financing larger projects on a card may land you very deep in debt. Homeowners who choose to stay in their homes and make renovations have a host of options at their disposal to finance those projects.

Vinyl siding still a consumer favorite Vinyl siding is trusted by homeowners looking to add aesthetic appeal to their home’s exterior.

Though vinyl siding may seem to be a cut-and-dry type of product, the vast array of vinyl siding colors

and styles has created certain trends among consumers. Made chiefly from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, vinyl siding is the most commonly installed exterior cladding for residential construction in the United States and Canada, according to the Vinyl Siding Institute. The history of vinyl siding can be traced to Ohio, where it was introduced to the exterior cladding market in the late 1950s by a private company. The process of mixing colors was done by hand, and the product was very inconsistent. New innovations in siding manufacture during the next few decades helped solidify vinyl siding’s place among cladding materials like shake, wood and aluminum. Vinyl siding comes in several different types. Here are the key variations. * Seamless vinyl siding: In the past, siding was created in specific lengths, requiring siding panels to overlap at points, often creating an unpleasant pattern. These points provided spots for insects, wind and moisture to infiltrate, leading to a weaker product. Today there are vinyl siding products that have removed the seams, creating a more visually appealing and durable product. * Solid core vinyl siding: Even the bestmade vinyl siding had a flaw: it was not rigid and generally didn’t lie flat against the surface of a home. Solid core vinyl siding alleviates that problem by having a solid

backing on which the vinyl panels are attached. The core is then attached to the home. These products also boast a higher-than-average insulation rating because the foam core interlocks during insulation. This makes a solid barrier around the home. * Vinyl shake siding: Vinyl shake siding has been designed and colored to look just like real cedar shakes, but without the maintenance, such as powerwashing or staining, associated with a wood product. Vinyl shake siding offers the same benefits of other types of vinyl siding, but tends to look like it is an expensive cladding material. * Vinyl log siding: Log cabins may seem like an adventure. However, being surrounded by wood can have its disadvantages, most notably maintenance issues surrounding wood. Vinyl siding manufacturers have created vinyl log products molded directly from real lumber, providing a look that mimics real wood, like that used for a log cabin. As vinyl siding continues to be a favorite among homeowners, certain trends emerge each year. While rich-colored siding was a

popular trend just last year, homeowners engaging in siding renovation products are now turning more to warm, earthy colors. Expect to see more gold, clay, and warm red shades with trim colors only one or two shades off, for a monochromatic effect. Another trend involves a continued interest in renewable materials or siding comprised of some postrecycled consumer content. Energy conservation is also on the minds of consumers, and some areas of the country have modified building codes to require continuous insulation of home exteriors to prevent heat and cooling losses more effectively. As a result, more customers may opt for solid core vinyl siding to meet demands for home insulation. For homeowners who prefer a one-of-a-kind look to their homes, mix-and-match siding trends have developed. Mixing and matching siding styles can create instant curb appeal and an interesting backdrop for outdoor gardens and patios. Stone entryways mixed with vinyl siding as well as a mixing of traditional horizontal siding with vinyl shake or board-and-batten are also considerations.

Heritage Lifestyle - Some New York City/Jersey musicians are joining forces with such Canadians as Paul Langlois, Peter Elkas and Greg Ball to help fight Parkinson’s Disease. “A fundraiser to fund Parkinson’s research was held in New Jersey in 1998,” said Gord Hunter, who, with Ginette Blais, is co-organizing the Kingston Light of Day event. “Light of Day officially started in 2000. Bruce (Springsteen) gave permission to use the name.” What began as a series of annual fundraising concerts in Asbury Park, New Jersey, has spread to 35 shows in 12 countries. DISCOVER THE The first concert back in 1998 CANADIAN ROCKIES BY RAIL was created as a Join Vision 2000 and experts from Rocky Mountaineer at this special travel 40th birthday bash event to ﬁnd out why over one million guests have experienced for music veteran Rocky Mountaineer’s award-winning rail journeys.

in New Jersey/New York. “He’s shown up at 9 of the 13 events in Asbury Park since then,” said Hunter. Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. It affects almost two million people in North America. More than 50,000 cases are diagnosed each year on this continent alone. But the number may be an underestimate. Because Parkinson’s is not contagious, it does not have to be reported by physicians. At present, there is no cure for Parkinson’s. Treatment is focused on alleviating symptoms. There are four major symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: shaking or tremors while at rest; slowness of movement; stiffness or rigidity of the arms, legs or trunk; and postural instability. This results in problems with balance and falls. Secondary symptoms include foot drag (shuffled walk), loss of facial expression due to the rigidity of facial muscles, muffled speech, and a decreasing function in such reflexes as blinking and swallowing. These symptoms can lead to depression, anxiety and pain. Many are familiar with the sufferings of Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox at the hands of Parkinson’s. More recently, Grammy-winning singer Linda Ronstadt was diagnosed with the disease. Salvador Dali, Pope John Paul II, Sir Michael Redgrave and Vincent Price suffered from Parkinson’s prior to their deaths. So did Leo Fender, who invented the iconic Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars that many musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, play. Gord Hunter and his wife, Ginette Blais, have been involved with Light of Day since its early days. They volunteer at as many shows as possible. They’ve even attended Springsteen shows in Europe. It’s a great cause and there’s fantastic music. Gord admits there have been

some unexpected and interesting perks. “At the 2012 show in Asbury, we were hanging out with some of the musicians who play with Bruce (Springsteen),” he said. “There was a phone call and we were

asked if we wanted to be in Bruce’s new video...We ended up walking up the street behind Bruce.” Later, they attended an after-party with Springsteen. “So, all this, and we’re raising money for Parkinson’s research,” said Hunter. He shakes his head as if he still can’t believe it. He explained that the money isn’t used just for research, but also for support of people living with Parkinson’s disease, their mobility and personal assistance. “Fifty per cent of the money from each event stays with the local Parkinson’s chapter.” The first Canadian show was held in Niagara Falls in 2007. This is the inaugural Light of Day event for Kingston. Tickets are $30 for a night of great music. Headlining the Kingston show will be Willie Nile from New York City. “Willie is the guy that other musicians go to see,” said Hunter. Born into a large Irish Catholic family in Buffalo, following university graduation in 1971, Nile moved to Greenwich Village in New York City. He took up musical residence on the iconic Bleecker Street. One of the

tracks on his newest CD, American Ride, is called Life on Bleecker Street. You’ll hear influences from the Boss (Springsteen) to the Ramones and early British punk and new wave. He also plays touching folkie and piano tunes. He’s worked with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Who and Roger McGuinn (the Byrds). The New York Times calls Willy Nile “one of the best singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in a long time.” His fans include Lou Reed, Bono and Paul Simon. The BBC described Niles’ The Innocent Ones (2011) as “stunning... THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” Also on the Nov. 6 bill will be New Jersey country/folk musician John Eddie, rockers Joe D’Urso and Stone Caravan and the Canadian-based Peter Elkas Band. Greg Ball and Paul Langlois will bring local flavor to the night. “The proceeds all go to charity,” said Hunter. “Every artist is performing for free. Our sponsorships have been amazing. As soon as I mentioned the show to Vinnie (Rebelo) of the Ambassador (Hotel and Conference Centre), he said, ‘Whatever you need.’ He’s providing all the rooms for the bands.” Time to Laugh Comedy Club is providing the space. The main need now is for shuttle service to take the musicians back and forth from the Ambassador. If you are able to help with that, contact Gord Hunter (gord@lightofdaycanada.com) or Ginette Blais (ginette@lightofdaycanada.com). “The great thing about Light of Day is that it’s volunteer-driven,” said Hunter. “The organizers all have normal day jobs. There’s no full-time staff. It’s all volunteers. I love that.” He said the show at Time to Laugh won’t have any down time between musicians. “After a band, an acoustic performer will take the stage,” said Hunter. “We were lucky to get Paul Langlois on board. He’ll be doing an acoustic set and it will be the day after the release of his new record.” You’ve got great music coming to town and it’s all for a great cause. Don’t miss out on this night.

Howe Islander publishes second novel By Mandy Marciniak Reporter

R0012324813

Heritage News – Howe Island author R.M. Doyon always knew that he was destined to be a writer. Now, with the release of his second novel, it appears he was right. Doyon started writing when he was very young and had his first letter to the editor published in the Globe and Mail at the age of 20. “That gave me a lot of encouragement,” said Doyon. “So I became a journalist. I went to the University of Western Ontario and then to Carleton for graduate school in journalism. I became a journalist with the Ottawa Citizen and then the Ottawa Journal.” Doyon reported on many political happenings on Parliament Hill, and then after nine years he moved on to consulting for a public relations firm. He then chose to start his own communications firm, called High Road Communications, which he and his partner ran for years and eventually sold. “We did very well,” said Doyon, “but after all that, I wanted to go back to my first true love which was writing fiction. I’ve written two screenplays, with the help of my wife, and I have written a stage play on the life and times of Pierre Trudeau called Pirouette.” After these accomplishments, Doyon wrote another screenplay called The Last Carousel. After working with an agent in Chicago to get it to Hollywood didn’t work out, Doyon thought it could work as a novel. That screenplay became Upcountry, Doyon’s first novel, which was published in 2010. Now, three years later, Doyon is celebrating the release of his second novel, Thou Torturest Me, a sort of sequel to Upcountry. “The new novel starts around Labour day of 2010, which is almost three years after the original novel. I use the same family members and many of the same characters in the new novel, but I wanted to break some new ground. If Upcountry’s theme was abuse, both spousal and parental abuse, then Thou Torturest Me’s theme is

bigotry and prejudice and adherence to principal to the detriment of many.” The new book, which is based in upstate New York, is essentially a romance between a young Amish man and an English girl. Doyon wanted to explore how this relationship would affect the people around them and, more importantly, explore the tensions that would arise. Portraying the Amish accurately was definitely a concern for Doyon, but after summering in upstate New York for nine years with many Amish families in the surrounding area, he felt like he had a pretty good handle on their demeanor and lifestyle. “We’ve got to know them quite a bit,” explained Doyon. “I’ve been in their barns, I’ve been in their kitchens, I’ve been in their fields. I’ve talked to them and I think I’ve gotten to know their way of life and the way they speak and how they treat themselves and their English neighbor and they really are fine people. I wanted to know what would happen, what if, there was a romance between an English girl and an Amish man. It is all centered around the family that I introduced in Upcountry – the young girl is the niece of the patriarch in Upcountry. I wanted to make something new out of what I had explored in the previous novel but still connect it.” This approach is beneficial to both the reader and Doyon. It allows readers to read both of his novels as singular works and it also takes away any repetition that can inevitably occur in a sequel. As for writing a third book in the series and turning the books into a trilogy, Doyon is still waiting to see if that is what is next for him. “I do have a third story line in mind, but I want to see where my mind takes me. I have to admit, I am enjoying the characters that I have created and I keep wondering where they are now and what is happening with them so that inspires me to write a third novel and make it a trilogy of sorts. It will depend on where the wind blows and how my desires in a fictional sense manifest themselves.”

Local woman to appear on Dragons’ Den to help pitch sweet treat By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Heritage News - Ninette’s Ice Cream, already famous throughout Montreal and Ottawa for its delicious, unique flavours, is becoming increasingly well-known here in the Limestone City despite not yet being available in stores. “Every time I come back from Montreal I have at least 30 tubs in my cooler for [my coworkers and friends],” says Maria Constandinou, a local 9-11 dispatcher. “They don’t let me come home unless I have their orders of ice cream.” The ice cream, which comes in flavours like basil lemon, cinnamon apple pie, gingerbread crunch, raspberry truffle and mocha almond fudge, was created by Maria’s mother, Ninette Constandinou, a stay-at-home mom who loved making ice cream for her seven children as they were growing up. People liked it so much that last year Ninette and her husband, Nick, began producing the ice cream on a larger scale. Now, it is made in a factory in Ontario and distributed to stores in their hometown of Montreal, as well as Ottawa. All of the ingredients that go into the ice cream are local, coming from either Ontario or Quebec. On Oct. 30 at 8 p.m., the entire Constandinou family will appear on the popular CBC program Dragons’ Den in hopes of receiving an investment from one of the “dragons” to further expand their operation. “When my parents auditioned in the first place, the producer enforced that all the kids have to be there to pitch, which is a little odd for us since we’re

all adults, but they really wanted the story,” Maria Constandinou explains. Indeed, Ninette’s seven children do help out quite a bit with the business. “We help by bringing the freezers and giving out taste testers to people,” says Constandinou. “We wear the tshirt and we say, ‘this is my mom’s ice cream’. Adding the personal touch also makes people think, ‘oh wow this is home grown, it’s pretty neat’. We’ve had a lot of success that way.” Constandinou fondly recalls watching her mom make ice cream when she was growing up. “When she made homemade ice cream, everybody would be really excited. I remember watching the ice cream machine turn and just waiting, saying ‘is it ready yet, is it ready yet’? She got extremely creative as time passed…she came up with all these flavours. I loved cinnamon apple pie, so did my brother John. She kind of made flavours for each of her kids, and we all have our favourites.” It was Nick’s idea to start selling the ice cream. “It’s incredible how much my dad has done,” Constandinou says. “He took the risk, and for my mom it was a really big risk because she’s very shy. Just a year and a half before she said ‘no way, I’m not going to Dragon’s Den’. It was a huge deal for my mom to be able to do that and to get the ice cream out there for people to see.” While Constandinou is sworn to secrecy regarding details of how the episode will play out and whether the family will be successful in securing an investment from one of the wealthy dragons, she does hint that “every time people try the ice cream, they really

The Constandinou family, Alex, Antonio, Maria, Ninette, Nick, Nicos and Anastasia. John and Andriana are missing from this picture. love it.” And, of course, the five dragons were given samples as part of the pitch. Regardless of the outcome, Constandinou notes that just appearing on the program is a huge marketing boost for a business, and that already the very fact that the show will be airing nationwide has helped the family expand the market reach of their business. “It’s an incentive for stores to say

‘oh yeah, we know that there’s going to be a hype, let’s get your ice cream in our stores,’” she says. Lucky for residents of the Limestone City, freezers in certain local stores will soon be stocked with Ninette’s ice cream. This is bad news, however, for some of Constandinou’s local friends, many of whom aren’t too keen on letting the rest of the city in on their

sweet secret. “Some of them don’t want anybody else to eat it because they want it all for themselves,” Constandinou laughs. For more information, visit www. ninettes.ca, or like the Facebook page Crème Glacée Ninettes Ice Cream. And don’t forget to tune into Dragons’ Den Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. to see how things turn out.

Heritage Sports - You could say hockey is in the blood for Kingston Frontenacs’ right wing forward Samuel Schutt. His uncle Rod Schutt played for a number of NHL teams in the 1970s and 80s, including the Montreal Canadians, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Pittsburgh Penguins. As a young boy, Samuel grew up idolizing his uncle. In 2010, at the age of 15, he went to live with Rod and his wife in Sudbury when he was drafted to that city’s OHL team, The Wolves. “It was definitely hard when I first moved to Sudbury,” Schutt says, noting that it was a long five hours away from his home in Palmer Rapids, Ontario. “But I got lucky because I lived with my aunt and uncle, and they were close to the rink. I definitely wanted to be at home, but they helped me through it.” Schutt came to play for the Frontenacs in October, 2012 as a seasoned OHL veteran. “I really like it here,” he says. “The fans are unreal. Kingston is a great hockey town and the team’s really been trying to promote us this year. We definitely feel the community has our back.” Indeed, Schutt notes that giving back to fans and local children is an aspect of playing on an OHL team he really enjoys. “Getting out in the community is definitely a big thing,” he says. “Like going

out and doing school visits, I’ve been doing more of that stuff.” As far as his game is concerned, Schutt entered his fourth season as a leader on the team, having already collected five goals and two assists as of last Thursday. “Definitely on ice you get better year after year,” he says. “You know more, you feel more comfortable. You’re more of an asset the older you get - you’re kind of more relied on.” Increased confidence is another key benefit that comes with being one of the more experienced players on the team at the ripe old age of 19. “I’m more confident out on the ice and with the puck and stuff,” Schutt says. “I had a good summer of training and now I’m just trying to be more confident making plays.” While Schutt describes himself as mostly an offensive player, he adds that lately he has been playing on a lot of penalty kills. “I’m definitely an all-around forward,” he says. “I guess you would say there’s pressure [on the penalty kills] because you could actually go and get scored on, but it’s kind of one of those things that I started doing last year and I enjoy it so I try to be my best at it.” Schutt still dreams of someday playing in the National Hockey League, but for now, he is also studying communications at St. Lawrence College to continue his education and explore other possible career options. “I only have two classes a week, so

Kingston Frontenac forward Samuel Schutt waits for a pass. when you put hockey on top of that it’s not that bad,” he notes. In the mean time, Schutt is focused on a more short-term goal: the Memorial Cup. “We definitely have a really good

team this year, so I think that’s everyone’s goal,” he says. “I think that’s something everyone in the league wants to be a part of because you have such a short time to do it.” You can catch Schutt and his team-

Creative brilliance shines on the web Columnist

Heritage Lifestyle - Karen Bonhomme had an idea. It grew. Now it’s a company called 1dea (one idea). A writer’s mantra is “show, don’t tell.” Or, to be cliché, actions speak louder than words. As we wander through our days, we are inundated with commercials in every form. They’re all over the Internet. Radio. TV. Billboards. Magazines. Newspapers. Most of them range from minor manipulations of the truth to outright distortions of reality. Even though they’re often visual, they’re all telling, not showing. It’s refreshing to come upon real quality. A local company, 1dea, showed me they’re great. They didn’t have to tell me. In fact, the only way I knew of them was through their quality work. I’ve noticed some of my favorite organizations’ websites have undergone a rapid improvement over the past year. For example, when the Arthur Child Heritage Museum of the 1000 Islands launched their new professional website (1000islandsheritagemuseum.com), I searched to find out who created this great site. Turns out it was 1dea. Yes, that’s a numeral one at the start of idea. One idea. The company was the brainchild of Karen Bonhomme, who now serves as creative director of the team. She started the business, originally called Bonhomme Design Studio, nine years ago. “Karen has the background and experience that fared well in this area,” said Trevor Trewartha, the team strategist. “She holds her standards to high quality work. That helped grow her referral network. Things got bigger and bigger as more people discovered her work.”

Karen started in print. She was known for branding and creating logos. Today, 1dea has expanded in staffing and skills. “We create brands, logos, books, websites and everything in between,” said Trewartha. They create a lot of company reports, manuals, large publication reports. They also specialize in web design. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, which represents about 42,000 doctors in the country, uses 1dea for their work, including publications, reports and employment studies. For such organizations, everything they create in English must also have a French version. “Branding dictates everything else,” said Trewartha. “Your identity dictates everything you do. Your brand represents the vibe and personality of an organization. There are plenty of ideas out there. You can turn them upside down and inside out but, in the end, it’s one idea that counts.” Thus, the name 1dea. Everyone at 1dea says the Internet is an important part of a larger puzzle. “Your brand is a space that you occupy in someone’s mind,” said Bonhomme. “It’s about perception. It’s about how people perceive your company.” “You website is a touch point,” said Trewartha. “It’s how people come into contact with your company.” We’re talking about facts, not beliefs. This crew does a great deal of research on branding and web design. They discovered that it’s not just the young who turn on their computers for information. “Even for the demographic of those in active retirement, their kids have left home, at least 75 per cent first go online to make travel decisions,” said Trewartha. “So the first touch point is your website.

They met at college in southern Ontario. Karen trained in graphic design and advertising. After graduation, she paid her dues and honed her professional skills. Trevor trained in business management. He started his career with a daily newspaper, the Guelph Mercury. That’s where he discovered his love for marketing. But the duo had not worked together in the past. “A couple of years ago we joined forces with the intention of growing the business,” said Trevor. “There was always the question, could work together? We discovered that we can. We share things and live the same life. It’s worked. We understand the business issues and work together well.” In January this year, they added Barry Doyon, a senior graphic designer who graduated from St. Lawrence College 12 years ago, to the team. “Barry is a seasoned web designer,” said Trewartha. “He has thousands of websites under his belt. When he became available on a full-time basis, he was a great addition.” Melissa Leggett, a freelance graphic designer, is the newest addition. She came on board in June. Melissa graduated from the print journalism program of Durham College in 2002 and has worked extensively in the magazine industry. “We’re a senior-skills-based team,” said Bonhomme. “That’s intentional. We want every team member to carry a significant role and work collaboratively.” They located in Kingston because of the vibe in the town. They had no ties to any particular city.

What keeps a customer happy? Thousands of dollars are spent annually by marketing firms to find the answer to this heavily-weighted question, but in all actuality, it really shouldn’t that complicated. A significant ingredient required for running a successful business is brand loyalty. Building upon loyalty is paramount to the expansion of any business, and that starts with a simple relationship with the customer. Running for 19 years strong, Paradiso Pizza is a local business that truly understands how significant their reputation with customers is to their growth. Part of that has to do with Paradiso Pizza being under the same management as when it first opened its doors to the city of Kingston in 1994. In a world where personnel and ownership changes are a regular occurrence, this business has persevered and succeeded at what many have struggled to do: Building loyalty with the customer. Many fans of the authentic

Sicilian offerings provided by this pizzeria repeatedly come back for several reasons. The “regulars” that frequent this established restaurant may mention the mouth-watering servings, or the fresh ingredients used in every recipe, but a big factor in their consistent business is how they’ve seen this non-franchised business become a success in front of their very eyes. Some of these loyalists have grown up with Paradiso Pizza, while seeing the owners’ children also develop into young adults. The term “customer engagement” is taken to the next level, as the regulars are known on a first-name basis, and have built upon that relationship for nearly two decades. Paradiso Pizza is so highly regarded by its customers that it was voted for in Queen’s University’s The Journal as “The Best of Kingston” in 2009. A ringing endorsement like that just proves how this business knows how to keep its customers happy. Grab a slice from Paradiso Pizza by calling 613-548-7006

Blue Canoe stages innovative new production By Kelly Reid Reporter

Heritage Entertainment - “It’s interesting and different,” says Blue Canoe Productions founder Mike Sheppard of their latest play, opening Oct. 23. The eighth season opener, titled The Woman in Black, marks a change in both venue and content for the company. “We’re used to doing musicals,” Sheppard explains. “But they’re never really dramatic and in your face.” With The Woman in Black, Sheppard says, “You can’t escape the action. The action takes place all around you.”

Sheppard, who graduated from Queen’s University’s drama program in 2010, founded Blue Canoe Productions as a way to provide more thespian opportunities for youth in the community. “You had to really do your show at Queen’s and that’s about it,” he said of what he experienced before Blue Canoe. “Blue Canoe is for those people that are just a little bit younger. Being a student is not actually part of the mandate.” The company accepts auditions from anyone between the ages of 13 and 30. In the past, they’ve staged

well-received productions of Aida, Sweeney Todd, Guys and Dolls, Rent, Bye Bye Birdie, and many others. In addition to being non-musical, though, this play also marks a shift for Blue Canoe because of its small cast and intimate venue. The piece has just three actors and will take place in front of an audience of just 10 people. Director Devon Dafoe, a fourth year student at Queen’s, approached Sheppard with innovative ideas when suggesting the piece. “I said to Mike when I first pitched it that I didn’t want to do it in a theatre,” Dafoe explains. Instead, he wanted to create a “found space” experience and began scouting locations with Sheppard. What

they eventually settled on lies in the basement of Kingston’s City Hall – in fact, it’s the original police station holding area complete with three barred cells. “I’ve always been keen on a director coming to me passionate about an idea,” says Sheppard. He approached the City and was pleased when Cultural Services representative Paul Robertson offered his full support. The eerie historical location fits with the play’s themes of being haunted by demons of the past, both Dafoe and Sheppard believe. The small venue seats just 10, though, so the company will be running two shows per evening for the two week run. Dafoe has found that preparing for 16 shows has been a challenge, though. “It’s been really condensed,” he says of their

schedule. “Six weeks is a very short time for us. One of the benefits was working with the smaller cast.” The only Blue Canoe veteran in the cast is Graham Banville, who previously appeared in 2012’s Cabaret. Shannon Kingston and Jacob Millar will be making their Blue Canoe debut in The Woman in Black. Sheppard is eager to see how their new “found space” production is received and is excited by the challenge. As for whether there’s more in Blue Canoe’s future? “We’ll see how this one goes first,” he laughs. To reserve tickets in advance (recommended), visit www.kingstongrand.ca or call 613-530-2050.

Sheba’s Haven helps elderly dogs live out their days in peace By Mandy Marciniak Reporter

Heritage News – Catherine Pokrywa and Bill McCormick traveled to the Kingston airport Oct. 10 to pick up the newest edition to their family – a beautiful white Husky named Clover. The dog will be the 51st that Pokrywa and McCormick have welcomed into their home, all of them rescues and most in the final stages of their lives. The couple operates Sheba’s Haven, a rescue shelter that focuses on palliative/special needs dogs that are unadoptable and usually elderly. It was started in 2001 by Pokrywa. “A friend of mine took me to the Humane Society to pick up a cat, and while we were there I saw this dog and he was really decrepit,” explained Pokrywa. “I thought to myself, who’s going to adopt that dog? Well, we did. He lasted 18 months. He had a disease and he was a stray. That was how I got started. There are really no other rescues out there that do that. I take in the dogs that are still full of life but have an incurable disease.” In 2007, Pokrywa registered Sheba’s Haven as a non-profit charity. “I just couldn’t do it on my own anymore. I needed donations to help me out. There are a lot of shelters out there that are no kill, but it seems awful to let the dog die in a shelter when they could be so much happier elsewhere. I’ve had the dogs last from five days and up to four years.” While many may find the idea of watching these dogs live out their final days excruciating, Pokrywa finds comfort in the fact that she is providing a loving and nurturing space for these animals.

“It’s really hard sometimes,” said Pokrywa. “We actually have many volunteers that can’t even come out to the Haven because they fear they will get too attached to a dog and then when it dies they’ll be heartbroken. I always keep in my mind that I am giving them a loving home and if they die quickly, at least they had that time of love and comfort.” Comfort is an understatement. The dogs taken in by Sheba’s are free to roam indoors or outside on the Haven’s three acre property. They are never put in kennels and they have the luxury of sleeping on beds and blankets. “They have beds all over the house but they always try to get into our bed,” added Pokrywa. “We have one dog that is ours and he is allowed on the bed but the others always manage to get in there too. The other morning I went in there and there were seven dogs on the bed.” The newest edition to the Haven is Clover, a blind, diabetic senior dog that came all the way from Timmins. Many shelters across Ontario know about Sheba’s and they contact Pokrywa askClover was flown from Timmins to Kingston where ing if she can take another. “Clover was a stray and they asked she will live out her days at Sheba’s Haven.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, avoid making promises unless you intend to keep them. If you cannot commit your time or effort, then explain the situation rather than backing out later. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Others view you in an entirely different light than you view yourself, Taurus. Consider their perspectives and keep an open mind. It might just help you grow as a person. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Many ideas are running through your head, Gemini. But you have to stick with one idea and go with it. Though this may seem like trying to find a needle in a haystack, the focus will pay off. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Someone puts all of their faith in you this week, Cancer. Don’t be nervous about living up to their expectations. Just operate the way you always do and things will work out. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, a number of things keep you occupied this week. The only difficulty will be narrowing down exactly what you want to do. Give this decision the attention it deserves. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, no matter how many times you voice your opinion, there seems to be one person who just doesn’t seem to catch on to your line of thinking. Accept such differences of opinion. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, sometimes you put blinders on to situations that make you uncomfortable. It is your way of coping. But this week you need to keep your eyes wide open. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, you do not have the patience for puzzles this week. Encourage coworkers and family members to be as concise as possible when declaring their intentions.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – A change of scenery could provide the change in perspective you need right now, Capricorn. The trouble is finding the right time to get away. Plan a weekend trip if you can manage it. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, even though you may not relish the role, you often have to be the voice of reason. Express yourself clearly but take others’ ideas into consideration as well. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Channel all of your creative ideas into one big project, Pisces. Once you have taken that initiative, the project will take off.
