canvassing with his team back in May. He said relationships he formed during this time made the campaign special. “There are so many volunteers that I didn’t know back in May and now I have these close relationships with them. That’s probably the most memorable part of the campaign are the friendships I’ve created over the last four-five months.” He also credited his wife, Vanessa and son, Mason, for their tireless support: “[Vanessa] has sacrificed so many of her own desires and what she wanted to do to give me the opportunity to do this. She’s been so incredibly supportive along the way and I am the luckiest guy in the world.” Mark Gerretsen’s father, John Gerretsen, who served the community for many years as mayor and MPP, was of course on hand to support his son and pass on some valuable advice: “Once you’re elected in parliament you work for everybody in this community. Not just the people that supported you, but everyone. There are going to be people that come to you with what you might think are very small problems but they’re very big to those people. You and your staff have to try to help them through the best way that you know how. That’s the model that I’ve always worked under, and I hope Mark Gerretsen addresses the crowd after being elected MP for Kingsthat Mark will do the same thing.” ton and the Islands Oct. 19.

News - Another Trudeau for Canada, and another Gerretsen for Kingston and the Islands: such was the result of the 2015 federal election. Former Kingston mayor Mark Gerretsen, who won the riding in a landslide on Oct. 19 with 32,366 votes, will join

a majority government in Ottawa, to be led by Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His closest runner-up, Conservative Andy Brooke, received 13,423 votes; New Democrat Daniel Beals 9,903 and Green Nathan Townend 2,582. “Canadians have said that they’re ready for change in government and change has come tonight,” said Gerretsen, adding that while the Liberal win was not unexpected for him, the fact that the party won a majority was a little surprising. “I’m one of those horse race watchers when it comes to the polls. I thought a majority government was something way out in the extreme realms of possibility but to see it actually come to fruition just blew me away and I’m thrilled to be part of it. I can’t wait to get started.” What’s the first thing he wants to do as MP? “I’m going to take a nap tomorrow,” Gerretsen laughed. Speaking seriously, however, he noted that there are a few things locally that he’s committed to getting a jump start on, “like re-opening the Collins Bay prison farm and starting to talk about infrastructure funding for various different projects - I’m very committed to hitting the ground running and starting to move those projects forward for Kingston and the Islands.” Gerretsen added that this moment has been a long time coming, as he started

Reid wins sixth term in Parliament with Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston victory By Craig Bakay

News — Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston wasn’t the last riding to post final results in the federal election, it just felt like it. And it seemed like Conservative Scott Reid and Liberal Phil Archambault were both willing to wait for the last vote to be counted before acknowledging victory (or defeat). But in the end, it was Reid returning to Ottawa, handily defeating Archambault by 8,000 votes. The final numbers were Reid: 27,399 (47.9 per cent); Archambault: 19,325 (33.8 per cent); NDP John Fenik: 8,073 (14.1 per cent); Green Anita Payne: 2,025 (3.5 per cent) and Libertarian Mark Budd: 418 (0.7 per cent).

There were 57,240 valid votes cast for a 72.62 per cent turnout compared with the national turnout of 17,559,353 votes for a 68.49 per cent turnout. And while he was pleased to be returning to Ottawa for a sixth term, it was a bittersweet victory in many ways. “I don’t think anybody saw this coming (a Liberal majority),” Reid said. “I don’t know what it signifies other than conventional polling methods are not representative of the electorate’s views.” When a reporter asked how Justin Trudeau managed the victory, Reid said: “I’m the last person you should ask that. It didn’t happen in this riding.” While most ridings were done and counted, LF-K results were painfully slow. And, in a fashion

strangely reminiscent of the last provincial election, the Liberal candidate was ahead in the early going. After 15 polls, Archambault was ahead by 100 votes. But as the number hit 20, Reid was up by 100. After 30 polls, Reid was up by 350, by 400 after 40 and after 75 of 233 polls had reported, Reid held only a 500 vote edge. That was at 11:30 p.m. However, after 90 polls, Reid held a comfortable 1,500 vote margin. Still, he was unwilling to declare victory. It wasn’t until Fenik showed up at Fiddleheads (all three major party candidates watched results in downtown Perth) to admit defeat and congratulate Reid just before midnight that the returning MP finally acquiesced to the group of reporters 1504 Rd At that point, 148 wanting aBath victory statement. 613had reported and Reid’s lead was more than polls 546-4248 4,000 votes. www.wardsmarine.ca “I’m glad to be back but sad to be in opposition,” Reid said. “There will be different challenges but different opportunities also. “I plan to continue my campaign to get wider access to defibrillators in the riding and to get them into RCMP cruisers,” he said. “I remain committed to preferential representation as opposed to proportional representation and I assume I’ll be back on the human rights commission. “We get to keep our same offices on Parliament Hill but I’ll have a different seat in the legislature.” With the announcement that Stephen Harper will step down as leader of the party, Reid categorically ruled out any run for the leadership.

Scott Reid and partner Robyn Mulcahy were a little concerned as results were slow to come in for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding. Photo/Desmond Devoy “It’s a big commitment that would involve a lot of sacrifices,” he said. Over at The Golden Arrow Pub, Archambault was even less willing to accept that it was over. Finally, around 12:30, he threw in the towel and headed over to congratulate Reid. When he got there, all the Conservatives had gone home and the place was dark. Archambault, like Reid, was of two minds when the night was over — happy for his party but sad for the local results. Still, he didn’t rule out another run for a seat. “I’m still young,” he said. “In four years, I’ll be 50 but for now, at least I can still take my kid to hockey.”

Liberal Bossio unseats long-time incumbent Kramp by 373 votes in H-L-A By Rob Mooy

News - It was a roller coaster ride at the Hastings – Lennox and Addington Liberal candidate Mike Bossio’s election party in Napanee on Oct. 19. Separated by only a few hundred votes, both the Liberal candidate and long-time Conservative incumbent Daryl Kramp traded the top spot throughout the night. But finally it was the Liberal red tide sweeping the country that prevailed in the riding when Bossio defeated Kramp by only 373 votes, with 20,813 votes over the Conservative candidate’s 20,440. Emotions were high in the Bossio camp when, with only a few polls yet to report, Kramp took a narrow two vote lead, then four. But a few moments later, cheers of joy echoed through the Waterfront Restaurant when the election swayed into Bossio’s favour as the last five poles reported in. Clearly ecstatic with the win, Bossio wasted no time addressing the large crowd, which had remained late into the night to support their Liberal candidate. “Two years ago, Justin Trudeau gave us a sense of passion, of hope and hard work,” said Bossio. “That’s really what it’s come down to in this campaign. I’ve been blessed by so many people that sacrificed so much of their time and energy to help me become your MP and help Justin Trudeau become our new Prime Minister.” “With so many individual supporters and workers, from both sides of the board, we came into this election with one understanding - stay focused on the ‘A’ goal, to see the back end of Steven Harper.” Bossio was clearly excited and proud of his team, which had come together with the most

incredible chemistry and lots of positive energy. “Everybody wrote us off, except us and we did it,” he cheered. “We never gave up, we never second guessed, we stuck to the plan, worked our asses off and we produced a win. “Now we finally have a government that is going to get back to governing for Canadians,” added Bossio. “To work together to find that common ground for a long-term solution we can all believe in and we can all be proud of. We know that when we decide to invest in Canadians we have confidence in each other and our ability to bring about change.” It had been a long night for these Liberal supporters and their candidate. “I want to feel every ounce of the anxiety and emotion of this roller coaster ride tonight. I want this night to live inside of me forever. “When I get to Ottawa I know that I’m bringing every single one of you with me,” added Bossio. “I know that you are going to be there with me to have my back, and I’m going to be there to have yours. Among cheers and congratulations, Bossio concluded by saying, “It’s time to look at this country. Canadians are hardworking, we’re smart and resourceful. It’s time that we start investing in us again. Somewhere along the way we lost this. It’s time to bring this back to Ottawa again. “Now we have four years to start a journey where we will begin making those changes, small changes, not changing the world over night, but establishing a long-term vision where we can make those small changes so that the next generation will benefit from what we are doing today.”

Feeling nostalgia for coffins, ghosts and Anne of Green Gables

Editorial - Last week I met a great family in Sydenham that runs a haunted house out of their barn every year to celebrate Halloween. As I was talking to them and learning about their annual tradition, I couldn’t help but get a bit nostalgic for the Halloweens of my childhood. When I was a kid Halloween was about more than just dressing up and trick or treating; the holiday was also about seeing what craziness my dad could get up to in terms of decorating our house. As I’ve mentioned in this column in the past, my mom is a little crazy when it comes to Christmas (and her 10 trees), but my dad used to be equally as crazy about Halloween. I remember years with elaborate jack-o-lanterns, witches, ghosts, vampires and other scary things and even one year with an actual coffin dug into our front lawn. All of this was in a time before blow up lawn ornaments so my

dad had to be creative and used mannequins for witches, clothes racks for ghosts and even built the coffin from scratch. My dad was also a big fan of those noise activated sensors that let out a scream or scary music when kids got close – needless to say, younger kids and our family dog weren’t too fond of this aspect. The year that he built the coffin and dug a hole for it in our front yard my mom and I thought he had officially gone crazy. He kept trying to outdo himself and for him that was the next logical step. He turned our front yard into a graveyard with elaborate tombstones with neon writing and even got a skeleton to put in the coffin. He created a witch’s cauldron on the other side of the lawn and had a mannequin stirring it. I have to admit it was all pretty well done and our local papers thought so too. Numerous people drove by our house each night to see the display and take photos; nothing made my dad prouder. Looking back on it all now I am a bit nostalgic for those Halloweens. I am also nostalgic for the costumes and the fun that went along with Halloween. I had some pretty amazing costumes as a kid thanks in large part to my grandmother and her sewing skills.

When I was really young I was an Indian for Halloween. Not the most politically correct costume, I’ll admit, but I was three or four so I didn’t have much say. I do remember the costume and the elaborate beading and feather work my grandma put into the headdress and dress. When I look at pictures now, I still can’t believe how amazing it was. In other years I was the typical kid things like a cat or a witch and even a spider, but there was one year, after a trip to Nova Scotia with my family, that I was Anne of Green Gables. I think I was 10 or 11 and I still remember that as being one of my all-time favourites. I had a hat with little red braided pigtails. My mom put freckles on my face and I got to wear a dress with a crinoline. It was perfect. Now, as an adult, Halloween is different. It is still fun in its own way, but not like when I was a kid. Now Halloween is usually about watching somewhat scary movies (I can’t handle the really scary ones), eating too much candy and hanging out with Korey and Einstein. A pretty enjoyable time if you ask me, but nothing beats the excitement of being a kid on Halloween night.

In Our Opinion

Trudeau Act 1: going to pot? In the final wild and crazy days of the federal election, Prime Minister Stephen Harper stared into a TV camera and declared that marijuana was, from a health perspective, “infinitely worse” than tobacco. It was a baseless claim strongly refuted by seemingly every public health official consulted. The statement recalled how from the earliest days of Trudeau’s candidacy, Harper worked tirelessly to promote the image of Trudeau ‘the pusher’, endangering your children by making the drug more widely available in corner stores. That is why we feel is worthwhile here in these pages to dispel these myths, so that readers get the facts before the now inevitable roll-out of a government regulated marijuana industry takes effect. The first thing to understand is that marijuana is far less addictive than cigarettes. Approximately 10 per cent marijuana users risk becoming addicted, compared to about 68 per cent of tobacco users. Furthermore, studies show that while there are some negative health consequences to prolonged exposure to marijuana smoke, they are nowhere near the same level as those present with tobacco carcinogens. Steven Laviolette with Western University’s Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry has said “The cancers and other sources of pulmonary diseases associated with smoking [tobacco]…are infinitely more serious than what we would ever encounter with smoking marijuana, and that’s well established.” Second, the fact that marijuana is not currently legal to purchase does not mean it’s difficult for youth to obtain. Indeed, chances are pretty good that one of your neighbours has a plant or two growing in their home for their own personal use. The continued criminalization of marijuana possession has done nothing to prevent Canada from becoming one of the highest per capita consumers of cannabis in the world. Legalizing and regulating the sale of marijuana could go a long ways toward preventing underage marijuana smoking, much in the same way that strong regulation and continued public health campaigns were crucial in curtailing youth tobacco smoking. This is not to say that there are no dangers that accompany the process of legalization. Indeed, the biggest public health threat that legalization poses may well be the threat of impaired drivers. The Liberal platform states they will strengthen the penalties and more severely punish those found guilty of this crime. We therefore believe that any rollout should be accompanied by a public safety campaign that underscores the dangers of driving while high and highlights the new, harsher penalties for driving under the influence.

Millennial mindset: Kingston tourist promoter targets new breed of visitors News – A leading Kingston tourism group is after a new breed of tourists. Kingston Accommodation Partners (KAP) is planning to launch a new destination marketing campaign that’s aimed at attracting so-called ‘millennials.’ Millennials are typically those born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s, the first generation to come into age after the new millennium. They are described as the young, young at heart, self-employed, artists and creators who earn enough to

enjoy the finer things in life and like their high-tech gadgets. “Nobody else is going after this group,” said Murray Matheson, executive director of KAP, which represents the operators of about two dozen hotels, motels, inns and B&Bs. Matheson says KAP stakeholders are enthusiastic to promote Kingston to the “millennial mindset” through a new branding campaign that will focus primarily on Facebook, Twitter and other social media with a “create once, publish everywhere” concept. Also, he says most millennials are tapped into social media.

The campaign will focus on themes such as walkable, liveable, architectural and historic as the canvass to paint a new image of the city. “It’s not a logo. It’s our image and how people perceive Kingston,” he explained. KAP’s aim is to make Kingston one of Ontario’s top four attractions by seizing the millennial market. Tourism is already big business in Kingston through staples like Fort Henry, festivals, waterfront activities, historic architecture, ample restaurants and shops. All of it adds up to an estimated economic impact of more than $1 billion a year, while creating 7,500 jobs. Matheson presented a short video to city council outlining the millennial message. Councillors voiced support for the tourism initiative. “I think you’re bang on with the vision,” observed Coun. Peter Stroud, who noted it was the best presentation to council all year. But while councillors applaud the targeting of a young-at-heart demographic, some wondered what will happen to current campaigns that seek baby boomers. Matheson says if the campaign is successful in attracting millennials, it will then create attention and a “buzz attracts boomers” as well. Coun. Liz Schell also welcomed the initiative: “This is music to my

ears.” Matheson expects the tourism branding campaign will launch in early 2016 by “creating a tool kit for all our partners.” The privately-operated KAP esti-

mates that it spends more on tourism promotion than the city through Tourism Kingston. “We are trying to communicate what Kingston really is,” said Matheson.

City eyes the ‘hub’ for next phase of the downtown’s big dig By Bill Hutchins

SCOTT REID, MP

LANARK--FRONTENAC--KINGSTON

News – Princess Street merchants are bracing for the ‘big dig 3’ to start in January. But the city is already making plans to move the extensive road work further up Princess Street. Councillors gave staff the go-ahead to undertake planning for the fourth and final phase of the big dig, which will see another two blocks of Princess Street, between Clergy and Division Streets, ripped up and reconstructed. A precise date for the $15.5 million ‘big dig 4’ project hasn’t been determined, but the work is expected to start as early as 2018. The original start date was supposed to be 2020. However, some potential hi-rise developments in the downtown area of Princess and Division Streets, known as the ‘hub’ for its popular night clubs, appear to be driving the earlier construction timeline. “We’ve received some pre-application interest from a developer with respect to that site and a few other sites that are along the Princess Street corridor,” said planning chief Paige Agnew. City officials won’t reveal any specifics about the development interest, adding the applications are not yet formally submitted. However, they confirm the hub is the focus of interest for a slate of new residential hi-rise activity. “They are definitely high density de-

velopments. That would mean height and massing that would look like an apartment building - residential with some ground floor commercial,” Agnew explained. A staff report to council in early October said the potential for future hi-rise developments requires the city to move sooner on the ‘big dig 4’ to replace and upgrade the area’s water and sewer capacity. “Furthermore, this project will support the on-going work between the City and Utilities Kingston in the separation of the combined sewer system and offer needed improvements to the water distribution system and provide improved capacity for firefighting response,” said a report by chief engineer Mark Van Buren. Council voted to proceed with another request for proposals to scope out contractors who can undertake the planning, design and construction for the big dig 4, and to start consultations with the downtown Kingston association and affected merchants for their input on how to minimize construction disruptions. Agnew says the development interest involves either demolishing existing buildings or constructing on empty lots. “There seems to be property acquisition that’s taken place in those areas and property owners that are serious about developing them.” She says the city’s Official Plan encourages residential intensifica-

Phase 3 of Kingston’s Big Dig is set to begin tion along the Princess Street corridor with supportive factors such as public transit and walkability. The hub area already includes the Princess Towers apartment and other high density housing.

“It’s a hub. So that’s always a place that people want to be. It’s a central location and you’ve got some great commercial anchors around it,” Agnew added. But first things first. The big dig 3

will focus on reconstructing Princess Street, between Bagot and Clergy Streets. The bulk of the main street work has a July 1, 2016 completion target, but work on the area cross-streets will continue through the entire year.

THANK YOU!

I want to thank the voters in the new electoral district of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston for giving me a sixth mandate to serve as their representative in the House of Commons. The election campaign is over and, for the 338 MPs elected to the 42nd Parliament, the business of governing the nation now begins. With each new election, all MPs---both new and old---have to be prepared to adjust to changes in government, changes in riding boundaries, and changes in the political issues that dominate the news. Representing all residents of this riding, regardless of how they voted in the election, will be my top priority in the coming months. From Kingston in the south end of this riding to Pakenham in the north, I hope you will always feel my door is open, and that you will always be aware that my staff is eager to help you with any government issue. Sincerely, Scott Reid

Downtown to get first new municipal parking garage in decades for a price tag of $18 million Denis Leger. However, some councillors remain skeptical of the agreement. They worry about the overall cost to construct Kingston’s first municipal parking garage in decades and the perception that a partnership with the city means swift approval for the proposed hi-rise. “This strikes me as being extraordinarily expensive,” remarked Coun. Jim Neill, who tried unsuccessfully to defer the agreement until there is more study on the cost implications. The municipal garage is to be financed through long-term debt and the city’s parking reserve fund. Coun. Neill says the investment amounts to $65,000 per parking space, more money than what cities typically spend to construct parking structures. The Homestead property is a potential Brownfield and the city’s intent to purchase the land from Homestead are factors behind the price tag. “It’s a complicated and constrained site with remediation issues,” added Leger. Others opposed the investment in parking at a time when Kingston’s own strategic priorities favour active transportation such as cycling and public transit as part of a smart, liveable city. “Intensification is not contingent on parking,” argued Coun. Mary Rita Holland. However, most say the city needs to provide space for people who drive downtown to shop, dine or take in a show at the K-Rock Centre. “We have a lot of residents who, frankly, don’t

care to walk, cycle and take public transit. They very much like to drive their vehicles so we have to provide that parking to continue to support a vibrant downtown,” added Coun. Kevin George. In addition to losing the surface parking on the north side of Queen Street, between Wellington and King Streets, Homestead also plans to unveil similar hi-rise plans at another property it owns at 18 Queen Street/282 Ontario Street next month. “We knew this day was coming,” said Coun. George. The Drury Lot (51-57 Queen St.) currently has 140 municipal parking spaces while the King/ Queen Lot (18 Queen/282 Ontario Street) has 130 spaces. Council decided last January to open talks with Homestead to incorporate public parking into its future development plans, rather than go it alone with its own parking garage. “There’s not that much land left in and around the K-Rock Centre. I would argue that if we want to have more parking in the downtown this probably the best option, the best location for it,” Paterson explained. Hendry says Homestead does not want to cause parking disruptions, and applauds the partnership to replace surface lots that would be lost to future development. “Our intent would be to build just for 51-57 Queen first, which is where the public parking structure would be. Our intent is not to have both sites going at the same time.” Councillors Holland, Neill and Peter Stroud voted against the partnership.

News – Homestead Land Holdings is planning to build a high-rise residential building at Queen and Ontario Streets, and the City of Kingston wants in on the ground floor. Councillors voted 10-3 to partner with Homestead to construct a 278-space, multi-level public parking garage adjacent to the building at a cost of up to $18 million. “We really need this. We can’t just have properties built up with no parking in an area that needs it,” said Coun. Liz Schell. The city ultimately stands to lose 270 surface parking spaces when Homestead builds on two large lots along lower Queen Street where the city currently leases space for permit and metered parking. Mayor Bryan Paterson says the city has no choice but to find a way to replace those spots. “We need to have parking in the downtown. When we see development in the North Block Work Placements Small Classes area we’re losing that surface parking so it’s very Specialized Hands-On Training important that we’re able to replace it.” Curriculum Under the agreement, Homestead will construct a six-level parking garage – four floors 742 Arlington Park Place above ground and two underground – on the site known as 51-57 Queen Street, and then sell the Kingston ON K7M 8H9 • 613-384-6194 completed garage and the land to the city for $16 1-888-732-0326 • www.klccollege.ca million to $18 million.

Issues with Ambulance Service Cause Concern for Islanders By Margaret Knott

Heritage News- While it is true that ferry service is a ‘Major focus for Wolfe Islanders, it is not their only focus. The island’s Emergency Services ( volunteer ambulance service) offering emergency medical first response, patient stabilization, and transport as necessary off the island to medical services available in Kingston is as important as “the boat.” These two services make it possible for anyone to live on Wolfe Island safely. Any disruption to either service is noted and creates feelings of unease. So is it any wonder that the smaller Frontenac 11 ferry operating from the Dawson point terminal since April, leaving cars behind with every trip, has been hard to take even with the amenities that MTO has provided, and has certainly diminished the summer tourist business island business owners count on. Of course the Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca heard all of that, and more from island-

ers on Wolfe and Amherst when he was here. And islanders are counting on the return of the Wolfe Islander III the first week of November…. maybe. That’s what he said. And it’s great to see the Frontenac II being spruced up to go home to Amherst Island, which also means the Loyalist going back to Glenora. Del Duca said a back-up ferry for the regional ferry service was possible in two-plus years. No answer to what happens in the meantime. More recently islanders have heard about, and seen, ambulances and personnel coming from Kingston to the island which would presumably cause delays in getting island medical emergency patients off the island. Both situations so visible while sitting in the line –ups and have caused frustration, and worry. You might remember that Frontenac County Council passed a resolution Aug.25 for a new on site/ on call deployment plan for paramedics for the Wolfe Island Ambulance Station, which has been placed in

the hands of management to implement, according to Paul Charbonneau, Chief of Paramedic Services. He noted that the present model will continue until all details are worked out through the various meetings scheduled with the volunteers, the union, and management to the transition to a better paramedic model. The new model, when implemented, will see two trained paramedics on site every day responding to calls for eight hours per day. For the remaining 16 hours, those two paramedics will be on call-back (in the building behind the ambulance station) to respond to calls. (The aim of the plan is to reduce the time it takes to get the ambulance rolling after a call, from 10 minutes to two minutes.) The exact date for implementation has not yet been determined. However at this time, the township has been informed that all shifts (except one) until Nov. 1st will have two paramedics. But rumours that all is not well with the Wolfe

Island Ambulance Service persist. WI Paramedic Sally Kane (always counted on to be there) is down with health issues and her return is not guaranteed. There were indeed two ambulance calls, back to back on one day, with ambulances and personnel coming to the island when only one paramedic was on duty. Residents have begun asking questions and want answers from members of council. Council members want information from Frontenac County, and the WI Medical Clinic Board is also seeking information. Good News. * Mayor Doyle had this to say, “Given there is a lot of misunderstanding on what caused the recent ambulance issue, and there are questions on the plan to move to a new model with one 8 hour shift covered by onsite Paramedics, and the other two shifts each day covered by oncall staff, I asked County Management to attend our next Council meeting to give us a presentation and answer questions.

Raising flags of Remembrance By Rob Mooy

News - “Flags of Remembrance” were raised in Kingston Oct. 17 along Bayridge Drive from Front Road to Henderson Boulevard. The flags, part of Veterans Voices of Canada / Flags of Remembrance, provide a powerful, visual statement to honour our Canadian military men and women. A total of 128 Canadian flags representing 128,000 Canadian war dead and missing in action from the Boer War to present, will remain in place until Nov. 14. The flags are accompanied by a plaque recognizing and honouring individual veterans. The heroes named on each honour plaque act as ‘guardians’ of the 1,000 souls each flag represents.

New theatre group hopes to do the ‘time warp’ with Kingstonians mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Events – For the past 40 plus years, Fansylvanians have been jumping to the left and stepping to the right year after year around Halloween. This year, Crystal Amazement, a new production group in Kingston, is putting on a live production of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Show and they hope fans, both new and old, come out to experience the thrill of it all. “We were brainstorming last year and came up with the idea to do Rocky Horror and nothing really changed that,” said Dan Niznik, director of the production and founding member of Crystal Amazement. “We wanted to kind of test the waters with our first production and we wanted to get established with a fun and interactive show.” Fun and interactive are definitely accurate descriptors of The Rocky Horror Show; the musical theatre production has been performed in countless theatres since 1973 and the film, produced in 1975, is still shown in numerous movie theatres each year at Halloween and attracts many loyal, costumed fans. The Rocky Horror Show follows a young, newly engaged couple who get caught in a storm and come to the home of a mad transvestite scientist. Over the course of the show, the scientist unveils his new creation, a Frankenstein-style monster in the form of an artificially

made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man named Rocky Horror. “So many people love this show or movie and we really wanted to pay tribute to that with this production,” said Niznik. “We’ve kept it true to the stage version and I think that the show will be entertaining for long-time fans and newcomers.” Actor Max Davidson plays Brad in the production and while he was a longtime Rocky Horror fan and had seen the movie countless times, he was still pleasantly surprised by the stage production. “I was surprised to see how many differences there are between the two including new scenes and songs,” he said. “I think it will actually be really fresh to a lot of fans who have never seen the play.” The most difficult part of putting the show together, according to Niznik, has been the rehearsals and getting actors who also have full-time jobs together for rehearsals, but he is happy with the end result. “Eventually everything kind of came together as we started rehearsing more,” he said. “The show is so much fun and I think the entire cast is really enjoying it and that shows in the production.” The Rocky Horror Show and movie screenings are usually accompanied by a fair amount of audience participation and this show will be no different, but for those who aren’t interested in taking part that’s ok too.

“We will have a few rows at the front designated as the ‘fun zone’ and those will be there for 8 p.m. shows. We’ll also have a couple of ‘safe’ rows for people who don’t want to participate,” explained Niznik. “But every row will be the fun zone for the midnight shows. We assume the diehard fans will come to those shows so we want to make them as fun as possible.” Traditionally, audience participation includes yelling, throwing things at the movie screen and singing along, but with a live production things are a bit different. “Audience members can interact with actual actors,” said Davidson. “We get to play back with the audience and I think that is the biggest benefit to seeing it live. We both get to enjoy it and the atmosphere that is created from the show and I hope people come out for that alone.” The Crystal Amazement production of The Rocky Horror Show runs from Oct. 28-31 at 8 p.m. with midnight shows on Oct. 30 and 31. The show takes place at Theological Hall at Queen’s University and tickets are $20. For more information visit www.rockyhorrorkingston.ca

Local artist thanks Kingston Police with commemorative oil painting By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Saying ‘thank you’ is something that is very important to local artist Pat Shea; recently, the Kingston native has been thanking those who don’t often seek or receive thanks in the form of oil paintings and his next message of thanks is directed at the Kingston Police Force. “I approached them and told them about my ‘Thank you’ series and why I was doing it,” explained Shea. “They loved the idea and I’ve been working on the painting for about a year now.” Shea has been painting for most of his life and started working with oils when he was just 13. He learned early on that he liked impressionist painters and preferred the style in his own work too. In high school he was heavily influenced by the Group of Seven and landscapes, including the many iconic landscapes of Kingston, and those have continued to be very interesting and inspirational for him. Shea’s ‘Thank you’ series originated in 2010 when he learned that a close friend was returning to Afghanistan for his third tour of duty. Shea was urged by others to go along, but thought the idea was crazy and that made him realize just how much of a sacrifice others were making for him and Canada. “These are people that do things that we don’t want to do but things that are necessary,” he said. “I don’t want to go to Afghanistan, but I can certainly thank others for going and as a sign of my thanks I

started the paintings.” Shea completed his first ‘Thank you’ painting, a tribute to the 436 Squadron, in 2011. Soon after, in 2013, he did another painting for the OPP that now hangs in their Napanee detachment. “I feel that the people that are in the series and the people I am thanking are people that don’t ask for thanks and quite often don’t get enough thanks from us,” said Shea. “The Kingston Police Force definitely fit into this category and I wanted to show how important their work is to the community.” The painting Shea did for the KPF will also serve as a commemorative piece as the force celebrates their 175th anniversary in 2016. She took this into account when he was putting the painting together and he hopes it shows. “I wanted a real scenario that would call on as many of the departments as we could realistically put into a painting and that is how the composition came to be,” he said. “There are references to those 175 years in the painting itself. It is like a snapshot of a time in Kingston’s history.” While the painting is meant to capture a time in history, Shea also hopes that the im- Local artist Pat Shea with part of the painting he produced for the Kingston Police as part of his ‘Thank You’ pressionist style lends itself well to audience series. The entire painting will be revealed in the Community Room at the Kingston Police Station during interpretation and that each person sees it in 175th anniversary celebrations in 2016.

In Latin America and Mexico, Halloween is known as “El Dia de los Muertos.” Translated as “the day of the dead,” Dia de los Muertos is a three-day celebration that begins on the evening of October 31 and culminates on November 2. It is more a celebration of departed friends and family members than a chance to get hordes of candy. In France, Halloween was relatively unheard of until the mid1990s. It was considered an American holiday and not celebrated. However, the draw of parties and costumed festivities led some French to embrace certain components of Halloween.

‘Stars are aligned’: Kingston mayor optimistic over infrastructure funding By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston’s current mayor is expecting big things from the former mayor, now that he’s heading to Parliament Hill. Mark Gerretsen won Kingston and The Islands in a landslide during the Oct. 19 federal election. Gerretsen, who left municipal politics last year to run for the Liberal Party, is expected to be sworn into office Nov. 4. Mayor Bryan Paterson says if anyone knows about the city’s wish list it’s the new MP-elect, who served as mayor from 2010 to 2014. “I’ve already got a pretty long list to give him. I’ll be reaching out to him in the days to come.” Paterson added: “He and I have already had conversations about the third crossing, about the future of Kingston Pen, about the marine museum, funding for the airport.” The mayor says he’ll be counting on Gerretsen to seek federal funding or support for those projects in the months and years ahead. “I can advocate from the outside and if Mark can advocate from the inside then I think it will be effective.” There may never be a better time for the city to obtain government grants to help pay for some pressing municipal projects such as the $120 million third bridge crossing, $16 million airport expansion, and finding a

new use for the mothballed Kingston Penitentiary, he added. Both the provincial and federal representatives for Kingston and The Islands are now serving on the government side. “We have an MPP in Toronto advocating for us at the provincial level and now we’re going to have a federal MP in Ottawa advocating for us at the federal level. So I think the stars have aligned and we have a great window of opportunity. So I’m optimistic,” Paterson explained. The optimism is shared by other councillors, who believe Kingston hasn’t been getting much in the way of infrastructure funding in recent years. “My view at the provincial level … it seemed like we were getting a lot of lip service when it came to the question of whether there’s going to be program monies available for the third crossing as an example,” said Coun. Kevin George, who also serves as the city’s representative on the Ontario municipalities association. Aside from electing an MP on the government side of the House of Commons, Mayor Paterson says Gerretsen is keenly aware of the city’s needs and openly championed them during the election campaign. “These are all priorities that we agree on, so it’s not a matter of having to convince him that these are impor-

tant. He’s already stated that these are things he wants to advocate for.” Coun. George agrees that sending a former mayor to Ottawa should benefit the riding. “I’m re-

Mother knew long winter months ahead would mean being shut in By Mary Cook

R0013523942

It was happening again. In my mind’s eye I could see back to the year before. It seemed to happen when the weather changed from warm sunny days to a snap in the air, and when flakes of ice formed all around the watering trough in the barnyard. I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was old

enough to know there was a change in Mother, and it happened at the same time of the year. What could it be? What had brought it on? Maybe she was worried that we would have enough food to last us over the coming winter. But that couldn’t be. The cellar was full of preserves and canned vegetables, the smoke house full of meat, and the big barrel of sauerkraut was already out in the summer kitchen beside the

smaller barrel of pickled herring. No, it couldn’t be because Mother was worried about our starving to death. But there was no doubt there was a change in her, and I could feel it in the very depth of my bones. My older and much wiser sister Audrey, if she sensed it too, wouldn’t talk about it. All she said was ‘it will pass’, as if that would satisfy me, which it didn’t. Mother stopped playing her harmonica in the evening. She would bring her diaries down out of the back-to-the-wall cupboard, open one, and never raise a pencil to write in it.... just staring at a blank page. She would tap the end of the pencil on the oilcloth covering the table, and it would make a steady ‘plop, plop’, and I would watch her closely, but not a word was put in her diary. She still made our meals. They were as hearty as ever. There were still rows of pies on the bake table, and the smell of fresh bread met us as we came home from the Northcote School. None of that changed. It was Mother herself who had changed, and I got an ache in the pit of my stomach and when we said our silent prayers in bed, I prayed that whatever was bothering my mother would go away. And then one day, it was a Sunday, and we had come home from church, changed into our better-than-school clothes, when Mother sent Audrey up to the trunk in the hall and asked her to bring down the big white linen tablecloth. The white linen tablecloth? It was only used at Easter and Christmas, and was one of Mother’s most cherished possessions, which she had brought from New York when she moved to Renfrew County. She took a blue glass pitcher out of the parlour, which sat next to the bible and put it in the centre of the table. It too had come from New York. She told Audrey to set the table and to use the dishes that had come in bags of puffed wheat from Briscoe’s General Store. The table looked like we were expecting the Queen for dinner! Mother changed into a velvet dress. It too

had come from New York, and was only worn for very special occasions. Father, who wasn’t much for any change to his routine, or for fancying up the house, said nothing. He had been through this before. We sat down at the table with its shiny linen tablecloth, as many matched dishes as Audrey would find, and our usual ample dinner. Supper would be the same as it always was on a Sunday night: a repeat of the noon meal. After we had redded up the kitchen, the white table cloth put with the pile of laundry awaiting the Monday wash, the lamps lit, shooting shards of light into the corners of the darkening room, Mother went to the back door and opened it wide. The cold night air blew in. She stood there, quietly, for the longest time looking out into the black yard. Then she sighed, as if it was coming from her boot tops, and closed the door and just stood there quietly, saying nothing. Then she took down her diaries, and her scrapbooks, sharpened her pencils with a kitchen knife, and began to write. I couldn’t say she had completely lost that melancholy look, but I was relieved to see that her mood had changed. It was almost as if she was saying “so be it”, a phrase she used often. When we went to bed I begged Audrey to tell me what had happened. She put her face close to my ear so that no one but me could hear and she told me that just before Fall changed to Winter, our mother knew that for months ahead of her, she would be shut inside our old log house. There would be no escape, and that was the time she longed most for her beloved New York. Audrey said, Mother would be almost sick with loneliness for the life she used to have so far away. When Audrey told me I fell asleep with tears wetting my pillow. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Popular horror series returns, sure to Paradiso Pizza & Subs is a leave audience with goosebumps

By Mark Haskins

There was a time when Goosebumps was huge. It was everywhere on bookshelves and on TV. I would have said those days were done. I may be wrong. Like most horror movies Goosebumps starts off innocently enough. Zach (Dylan Minnette), and his mom Gale (Amy Ryan) have moved to a small town looking for a fresh start. Zach soon meets Hannah (Odeya Rush) the mysterious girl next door, and her overprotective father Mr. Shivers (Jack Black). It isn’t long before Hannah and Zach are sneaking out together. Everything is fine until one night Zach hears screaming from Hannah’s home. With his new best friend Champ (Ryan Lee), Zach decides to investi-

gate. It’s there they discover the manuscripts. Each one is a locked R.L. Stine Goosebumps novel. Foolishly Zach unlocks one of the manuscripts, and comes face to face with the Abdominal Snowman. Hannah, Zach and Champ barely manage to get Abominable back in the book, and then it’s only because Hannah’s dad shows up. It turns out that Hannah’s father is R.L. Stine, and all of the monsters he created are real. The only thing keeping them at bay are the locked pages of the manuscripts. In a horror movie just when you think it’s safe is when evil strikes. Slappy, the demonic ventriloquist dummy, gets free, and releases all the other monsters. Slappy wants revenge for being locked away all this time. It’s up to Zack, Hannah, Champ and Stine to find a way to imprison all the monsters before they destroy the town. Goosebumps pulls out all the horror movie tricks. The tight camera angles, misdirection, twists, things jumping out at you – you name it they use, and they use it well. It’s a very scary

top employer in Kingston

film, but the film also has another side. Goosebumps is insanely funny. With just the right mix of fright and funny you’re jumping out of your seat as much as you’re laughing. I was never a Goosebumps fan, but I have to say within the first five minutes I was hooked. I love how they establish the relationship between Zach and his mom. It is very honest and real, and I liked both characters instantly. The same is true for all the characters. Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ryan Lee, and Amy Ryan all give that kind of quality performance. You can’t help but like them, and it’s a huge reason why this is such a good film. While I may not be a Goosebumps fan I’m a huge Jack Black fan. He does not disappoint. He is funny, he is scary, he is over-the-top, he is heroic, he is brilliant. This fictional version of R.L. Stine may be one of Black’s best characters. It’s not something I thought I’d ever say, but Goosebumps is back. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Renovating an historic home

a sensitivity and appreciation of renovating older properties. Homeowners always should see examples of a craftsperson’s work and verify references from each contractor before hiring anyone to work on the property. Homeowners who want to include traditional hardware and other period details in their homes may be able to find quality replicas of historic milling materials, while others may want to scour antique shops or salvage yards for era-appropriate materials.

Smarter. Bolder. Faster.

Historic renovations can be costly and have a tendency to go over budget because of unforseen damage and hazards that have to be repaired so the building is up to code. Going into the project with this in mind can help soften the blow of extra costs down the road. Historic homes can be beautiful and appeal to buyers who appreciate the one-of-a-kind nature of older properties. Renovating historic homes may take time and money, but the results may be well worth the effort.

Living in an historic home can be a labor of love. The history and the distinct architecture of historic homes draw buyers to such properties, but what historic homes have in regard to history they often lack in the conveniences of modern life, forcing many historichome owners to make renovations to bring their homes into the 21st century. Historic-home renovations differ from other types of modifications. According to the Victorian Preservation Association, renovation is getting a home back to where it may have been when originally built, but making concessions for today’s lifestyle. Preservation is the act of maintaining a structure in its current historic state, and restoration is returning a home to its original state. Unless a homeowner plans to use an outhouse or live without electricity, the majority of work done on historic properties is likely to fall into the category of a renovation. Renovating an aging structure can be fulfilling and help to make a home more functional. But make no mistake, such a renovation is a major undertaking. Before beginning, it pays to hire a professional consultant with expertise in renovating historic properties. He or she can inspect the property to determine which areas of the home are safe and which will need to be upgraded. A professional inspection also can determine if any deficiencies lie hidden in the structure. Potential concerns can be toxic paints and other substances, building code issues, rotting, and structural settling. Professionals will know what to look for and guide homeowners accordingly. Homeowners also may want to consult with a preservation association, community restoration group or general owner-builder group. These people can refer homeowners to the craftspeople and materials that will be needed for a job. Homeowners can request to see other historic properties in the area and learn what those owners did to maintain the integrity of a home when using newer materials. Before any work is started, homeowners should find out if their home is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. According to the United States National Parks Service, property owners can do whatever they want with their property so long as there are no federal monies attached to the property. However, the property owner should also contact his or her state’s historic preservation office, or SHPO. The SHPO is the state agency that oversees historic preservation efforts in each state, and there may be state or local preservation laws that the owner should be aware of before renovating a historic property. Craftspeople should have experience with historic homes and

How to prepare your home for prospective buyers Selling a home can be exciting. Homeowners who made considerable financial commitments when buying their homes may be anxious when the time comes to get returns on their investments, but selling a hope need not be so nerve-racking. Buyers’ tastes often dictate their interest in a home. For example, no matter how immaculate homeowners may keep their colonials, such homes won’t appeal much to buyers looking for a traditional Cape Cod cottage-style home. But while you might not be able to change your home’s architecture to appeal to the masses, there are steps you can take to make your home more appealing to buyers whose dream home more closely resembles your own. • Address curb appeal. Curb appeal goes a long way toward creating a lasting first impression, so homeowners can start by driving up to their homes and looking at them through the eyes of prospective buyers. Address the landscape if it needs some TLC, and power wash siding if it’s appearing a little dirty. Examine your driveway for cracks and consider installing a new surface if the existing one is more of an eyesore than eyecatching. Finally, clear the yard of toys and tools before nailing the “For Sale” sign into the ground, as a cluttered yard will give buyers the impression that you did not prioritize keeping a clean and presentable home. • Clear out the clutter. Some sellers stage their homes when putting them up for sale. But staging might not be an option for sellers who are still living in their homes and intend to do so until they

find buyers. If you can’t stage your home, then do your best to remove clutter, including extra pieces of furniture you might have accumulated over the years that can make rooms seem smaller. Box up any books that no longer fit on bookshelves, and try to keep common areas like family rooms, hallways and kids’ playrooms as open and clean as possible so the rooms appear roomy and relaxing. • Let the light shine in. Dark homes are less appealing to prospective buyers, many of whom have no interest in living in caves that are void of natural sunlight. When showing your home, make sure all of the curtains are drawn and the blinds or shades are up. If trees or shrubs outside windows are blocking natural light from getting inside, consider trimming them so your home appears sunnier and more inviting. Bright homes tend to feel more spacious, so fix any light fixtures that need fixing and even add small lamps in rooms that could use some extra light. • Tackle that to-do list. It’s easy for a home’s residents to grow accustomed to certain minor problems, such as a doorknob that always sticks or a creaky kitchen cabinet door. But buyers might be turned off by too many of these minor problems and wonder if any larger and more expensive issues also went ignored. Before showing your home, address all those minor repairs on your to-do list. Selling a home can be exciting, and homeowners can take steps to make sure their home sale is successful and lucrative as well.

Things to consider before downsizing your home The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home. Real estate market The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

New homes are getting smaller and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members.

Furniture When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.

Medical care Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities. In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you’re likely to need. Downsizing a home is not just about moving into a smaller property. To ensure you’re making the right decision, many factors must be considered before downsizing.

Proximity to family When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture

From the early 1990s to the beginning of this century, “bigger is better” certainly was the mantra of the home-building industry. All across North America buyers could browse among home developments boasting homes of 3,000 square feet or larger and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. But according to new data, home buyers are seeking less space today but more in green amenities. Research by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association has found that many people now desire smaller homes with multipurpose rooms and energy saving features. They’re not ready to trade in their two- and three-car garages just yet, though. Plus, a survey of International Furnishings and Design Association members forecasts that McMansions will become a thing of the past and more emphasis will be placed on smaller, more eco-friendly homes. Family rooms will grow larger, as will kitchens. Other rooms in the home will disappear, including the living room. Many homeowners and potential home buyers realize that with girth comes a cost. In today’s fragile economy, the ability to cash in on the dream of homeownership may come at the compromise of a smaller, better-planned home. According to Tim Bailey, the manager of Avid Canada, a research and consulting firm for the building industry, “While many consumers are willing to forgo space, they are not equating this with having to forfeit functionality. Design creativity is requisite to adapt to this changing preference.” Here are some things that you will and will not find in newer homes moving forward. * The dining room is becoming extinct, with larger, eat-in-kitchen/entertaining spaces the norm. The kitchen will be the main room of the home and be renamed the “kitchen lounge.” * Separate rooms are evolving into spaces that

serve many different purposes. * Although the sizes of bathrooms may be scaled back, the amenities will not. Spa-style bathrooms with luxurious products, high-tech features and televisions will be on the rise. * The master bedroom suite may not shrink in size, but it could be combined to form a home office and exercise space. * Expect to see more high-tech offerings, such as voice- or motion-activation devices in the home. Lighting, entertainment gear, heating/cooling systems, and even blinds could be hooked up to a master control system. * Thanks to an increasing number of people working from home, the presence of a dedicated home office is a given in newer homes. Nearly 40 percent of industry forecasters say that they expect one in every home. * Home storage solutions will also be a vital component of new homes. Builders will create clever solutions for mixing storage into more compact spaces. * With aging Baby Boomers comprising a larger segment of home buyers, expect to see more one-level homes, or at least homes where there is a master suite and the majority of the living space on the first level. Part of what is driving this trend is the cost of homes in relation to space and the increased interest in environmental conservation. Smaller, more efficient homes require less in terms of heating and cooling energy. They need less furniture, and new materials made from sustainable products help further fuel green initiatives in the building industry. Energy efficient homes are a main priority for buyers. Although the homes may be smaller, they will not be miniscule. And home buyers can expect a host of amenities that will make the smaller size of homes barely perceptible.

Factors that might hurt a home’s value Nowadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with. But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well. * Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value. Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. * Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster. * Size and style: Another thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attention-

grabber, but that’s not always attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle of a street filled with contemporary homes will stand out, but likely for all the wrong reasons. It will likely appear dated and out of place, which is something buyers might not want. In addition, if the home is considerably larger or smaller than the surrounding homes, then this could hurt its value. *Non-conformity: In many ways, conformity is not considered an admirable trait. But when selling a home, conformity could make the difference between a home selling quickly or remaining on the market for months if not years. When shopping for a home, buyers often shop in certain neighborhoods and towns and might see many different homes within a given ZIP code. Homeowners with homes that don’t conform to others in the area might find it difficult to sell their homes. For instance, homeowners trying to sell a two bedroom home in a neighborhood filled with three bedroom homes might notice their home’s value is not as high as that of surrounding homes, regardless of the neighborhood or how similar the home’s exterior is to surrounding homes. * Age: Older homes might have character and a sense of nostalgia, but appraisers take age into consideration when determining a home’s value. And buyers tend to lean toward newer homes for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the feeling that newer homes have far more modern amenities than older homes. When it comes to a home’s value, there are a host of things that could ultimately increase or decrease that value in the eyes of prospective buyers.

Buying a condo not the same as buying a home Stringent lending policies and the escalating costs of home ownership have led many prospective home buyers to consider condominiums instead of single-family homes. Condos are typically less expensive than single-family homes, which makes lenders and borrowers alike feel more comfortable. Lenders feel better because the loans aren’t as large, while borrowers are more comfortable because such loans allow them to improve their standing with lenders, potentially setting the table for a low-interest home loan down the road. But the differences between buying a condo and buying a singlefamily home go beyond the bottom line. The following are a few things prospective buyers should know about condos before they view any properties. * Condos come with fees. Unlike single-family homes, condos come with homeowners association fees. These fees cover the cost of maintenance and repairs to the property. This includes landscaping and garbage collection, as well as general repairs throughout the condominium complex. Fees vary significantly from community to community, and the best deal is not always the one with the lowest homeowners association fees. Low fees tend to provide less bang for the buck, generally covering only the most basic services. Higher fees often mean the community offers more amenities, such as a private pool and gym for residents. Some people prefer such amenities, while others would rather find better deals on their own. But

prospective condo buyers must include fees in their monthly budgets when determining how much they can afford to spend. * Condos come with rules. Owners of single-family homes can create their own rules for their households, while condo owners must agree to follow rules established by the homeowners association or the property management firm responsible for maintaining the community and enforcing the rules. Rules may not allow pets or only allow pets of a certain size. Other rules may restrict how owners can decorate their condos during the holiday season or how they can furnish the exterior of their properties, limiting patio furniture to a set number of chairs or tables. Some condo owners are glad such rules are in place, while others might find such stipulations intrusive. Each community has different rules, and prospective buyers should familiarize themselves with a community’s rules before buying any properties within that community. * Condos often have management firms. Property management firms can be great to deal with, but they can be troublesome as well. A good property management firm produces satisfied community members who speak glowingly of their communities, while a poorly run management firm can frustrate homeowners who feel they are not getting what they’re paying for. Some property management firms fail to collect homeowners association fees for months at a time, only to send letters demanding back dues down the road. Others simply don’t live up to

Hugh Mosaheb

expectations, failing to make repairs in a timely manner while letting the property fall into disrepair. If possible, speak to current community residents about how the property is managed. If residents are not available, potential buyers should attempt to attend a homeowners association meeting, which can shed light on what it’s like to live within a given community and how accessible the management firm is to community

members and how well it tends to those members’ needs. * Condos are not as private as single-family homes. Much like apartment dwellers, condo owners often share walls with neighbors. That means condo owners will have to sacrifice some privacy. Prospective buyers who consider privacy a top priority may want to continue living in an apartment until they can afford to buy a single-family

home. Though condo owners rarely have someone living above or below them, sharing walls with neighbors is still not as private as owning a single-family home. Condominiums are great options for people who want to own their homes but don’t have enough money or credit history to buy a single-family home. But buyers must educate themselves about condominium life before signing on the dotted line.

Renovating a rental property do so whenever a tenant moves out, but landlords whose buildings have a high turnover rate likely won’t need to repaint every time a tenant moves out. When adding a new coat of paint, choose a light, neutral color to give the property a fresh, inviting look. * Replace the carpeting. Carpeting is another area prospective renters are instantly drawn to when viewing an apartment. New carpeting is always attractive to potential tenants, and landlords won’t have to break the bank to replace the carpets when an existing tenant moves out. Instead of expensive carpeting, choose a medium grade carpet with a neutral color, ideally beige or light brown, which can hide spills or stains should the next tenant prove messy and move out after the original lease terms are up. Before laying carpet, don’t forget to lay down quality padding underneath. Such padding makes the carpet feel softer and of higher quality. * Upgrade the appliances. Perhaps nothing evokes a stronger response from prospective renters than a property’s appliances. Outdated appliances make renters speculate as to what else might be outdated and if the building is well taken care of. On the other hand, newer appliances, particularly stainless steel items, create a contemporary

feel and give the impression, true or false, that a landlord won’t allow the building to grow dated or fall into disrepair. When shopping for appliances, choose ones that are more basic so any eventual repairs won’t be too complicated or costly. Newer appliances enable landlords to charge more rent for a given property, and many renters would agree that such properties are worth the extra money. * Install new windows. Older buildings tend to have creaky or drafty windows, which not only makes the property colder during the winter months, but it also drives up utility costs as renters are forced to turn up the thermostat to combat drafts and cold air entering the unit. New windows can eliminate such drafts and reduce utility costs, something landlords can use to their advantage when discussing the property with potential tenants. Landlords might even be able to earn tax breaks when installing new, energy-efficient windows. Discuss if any such breaks exist with the local municipality. When it comes to renovating a rental property, landlords can make a handful of small renovations that, while relatively inexpensive, enable them to earn substantially more money from each unit over the long haul.

When the economy struggles to the point of recession, few people benefit. However, there are some businesses that thrive during a recession, using the circumstances to their advantage and actually growing business in spite of a sagging economy. One such business is rental agencies or property management companies. Even landlords with a single investment property tend to do better during a recession, when individuals might be fearful of buying a home or simply unable to afford it. Such individuals still need a place to live, however, and landlords benefit as a result. One of the best things a landlord can do during a recession is to pay more attention to their rental properties, ensuring the properties are in tip-top shape so they can get the most out of each unit at a time when the rental market is most competitive. This might require some renovations, which landlords should be making periodically anyway, regardless of how strong or tenuous the economy might be. * Update the paint. Apartments are typically empty when shown to prospective renters, and any issues with the paint job are very noticeable during such viewings. If the paint is outdated or there is any fading, update the walls with a fresh coat of paint. It’s ideal to
