Encouraging youth to remember By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – For Bailey Whitehouse, 19, Remembrance Day has always been an important occasion. “Every year since I was four years old I have laid a wreath on Remembrance Day,� explained the St. Lawrence College student. “Both sides of my family have a military history and my grandparents on both sides served so there is a personal connection for me.� This year, Whitehouse once again laid a wreath on Remembrance Day, but this time she did it on behalf of the Vimy Foundation, a Canadian charity with a mission to preserve and promote Canada’s First World War legacy as symbolized with the victory at Vimy Ridge in April, 1917. “The Vimy Foundation sends 20 high school students to Vimy Ridge in France each year and I was lucky enough to go in 2013,� explained Whitehouse. “It was a life-changing experience to go and see the place where so many sacrificed their lives for what we have today and it made Remembrance Day even more important to me.� While there, Whitehouse had the opportunity to tour memorial sites, participate in memorial services and learn more about those who fought for Canada. “One of the places we went was one of the tunnels that soldiers passed through before entering battle and you can still see the helmets and canisters and carvings in the walls,� said Whitehouse. “It was extremely moving.� Bailey Whitehouse, 19, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in Kingston on Remembrance Day Whitehouse has kept in contact with the Vimy on behalf of the Vimy Foundation.

was contacted by them about laying a wreath on Remembrance Day. The foundation, which was established in 2006, worked to ensure that a wreath was laid at every ceremony across the country on their behalf and Whitehouse was happy to take part. “It is an honour to be part of the ceremony here in Kingston,� she said. “There are three other students who will also be there with me and I hope we can encourage even more young people to get involved.� Whitehouse hopes to go back to Vimy Ridge for the 100th anniversary in 2017 as either a tour guide or just a passionate Canadian; she hopes that other youth will want to do the same. “We need to be making more of an effort to get youth involved and remembering. It is so important for future generations to not forget,� she said. “As more and more personal connections fade away we need to be doing more.� For Whitehouse, Nov. 11 is about not only remembering her own personal connections, but also the sacrifices that allowed her the opportunity to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Kingston. “It always makes me pause for a moment and think about the lives that were given for our freedom. People didn’t just decide that they were going to go to war, they did it out of necessity and I think it needs to be recognized more. We need to understand the sacrifices they made.� Kingston’s Remembrance Day ceremony took place at the Cross of Sacrifice Cenotaph on King Street on Nov. 11.

Public transit needs more attention in revised transportation plan, say councillors By Bill Hutchins

News – The latest update to Kingston’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) could face a bumpy ride from councillors unless some key changes are made. Many are concerned the revised blueprint for the city’s future transportation needs falls short in promoting public transit. “We are asking not to go backwards. We’re asking that we actually target what other similar sized municipalities have done,� said Coun. Mary Rita Holland. AECOM, the consulting firm that drafted recommendations to update the TMP, says public transit should attract 9 per cent of daily commuters. By comparison, the transit targets set by other Ontario cities range from moderate to aggressive. Peterborough’s target is 6 per cent, Belleville’s is 4.5 per cent, while London wants 10 to 20 per cent of daily travellers to ride the bus, and Barrie set a 7 to 12 per cent target. Coun. Holland says Kingston Transit should be striving for a 15

per cent target of the overall share of commuter travel. However, the consultant says encouraging more commuters to leave their cars and take the bus can be very expensive based on higher transit operating costs, extra costs to purchase new buses, and the impact on deferred road construction projects. To set a 9 per cent transit share by 2034 would cost $33 million, compared with a municipal investment of $39 million to boost the transit usage to 11 per cent. “The level of investment required to achieve an 11 per cent transit mode share is therefore difficult to justify,� the report concluded. While Kingston Transit surpassed four million riders in 2014, AECOM says the 9 per cent goal is a more “reasonable expectation.� Councillors were supposed to debate the TMP recommendations Nov. 3 but the report was shelved for two weeks because a key staff member couldn’t attend the meeting. Coun. Kevin George says he hasn’t read the full report, but cau-

tions against setting high transit ridership targets due to the costs involved. “It all boils down to the ability to pay. And what do we want to do to our taxpayers when it comes to providing this type of service because there is such a huge cost association with it?� The TMP lays out a series of long-term targets to accommodate future growth when it comes to improving roads, transit, cycling, pathways and other transportation modes. It’s the document’s first update since 2009. In 2004, automobile use was the dominant form of transportation, representing an 82 per cent share of all commuters in Kingston. By 2009, the automobile mode share was down to 76 per cent. Experts believe Kingston can further reduce that figure to 69 per cent by the year 2034. At the same time, they’re forecasting an increase in active transportation users (walking and cycling) from a 12 per cent share in 2004 to 17 per cent by 2034. Public transit usage was just 3 per cent in 2004, and experts say tripling that

figure is a worthy target by 2034. Convenience, travel time and cost are the biggest factors that influence travel choices. “While many respondents did report using alternative transportation modes, the ‘auto driver mode’ is still the most preferred mode choice for Kingston residents,� AECOM noted. However, the transit targets caused unease on the transportation committee, which recently rejected the revised TMP in a tie vote. It will now be up to city council to determine whether to send the report back to the drawing board, change the travel mode targets or approve the report as is. AECOM estimates it will cost $740 million to implement the revised long-term transportation goals. That figure includes $96 million for active transportation, $85 million for public transit and $500 million on roads. The transportation document has identified some key road projects that should be built over the next 20 years, subject to final council approval. The list includes the third

bridge crossing over the Cataraqui River, completing the controversial Wellington Street extension, finishing the widening of John Counter Blvd. with a bridge over the CN tracks, extending Centennial Drive (Cataraqui Woods to Gardiners Road), widening Highway 15 to four lanes (Highway 2 to Gore Road) and connecting Leroy Grant Drive (Concession Street and Elliott Avenue). At the same time, experts want to increase the threshold by which traffic engineers determine whether roads need to be widened. The current standard to determine whether a particular road is a candidate for expansion is when traffic counts reach 90 per cent capacity during peak periods. The proposed new standard is 100 per cent.

Pediatric areas of Hotel Dieu Hospital get a ‘hip’ makeover By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Kids visiting the Child Development Centre and pediatric areas of Hotel Dieu Hospital have a lot more to smile about thanks to The Tragically Hip and the Smilezone Foundation. On Nov. 5, the hospital unveiled three revitalized pediatric spaces—the waiting area in the Children’s Outpatient Centre (COPC), a therapeutic gym in the Child Development Centre (CDC) and a play area in the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic. Renovations were made possible through a partnership between the Smilezone Foundation and local musical favourites The Tragically Hip. “We’ve always focused on our community and it is really important to help anything involving children and this is a really great initiative,” said bassist Gord Sinclair. “My brother was really sick when he was younger and I distinctly remember that experience being extremely intimidating and scary and that still sticks with me today. So anything that can help brightens a child’s day or even the day of their brothers or sisters is really important.” The new and refurbished pediatric spaces, which were renovated Oct. 1618, include vibrant new paint colours, big, bright and inspirational wall murals, custom seating and cabinetry to store therapeutic equipment, and toys, DVDs and iPads to entertain and engage young

patients. Smilezone staff worked with HDH staff and doctors to make sure the space was functional and welcoming and in the end, Scott Bachly, chair of the Smilezone Foundation was extremely happy with the final product. “Smilezone is the most rewarding, humbling and fulfilling thing I have done in my entire life,” said Bachly. “We started Smilezone as a contribution to the Oakville hospital where we live, but we wanted to go further than that, we wanted to reach out to children in communities both big and small and seeing what has been done here at Hotel Dieu is so rewarding.” Patients in the CDC are also happy with the results and many have enjoyed playing with the new interactive tools and observing some of the new art. “It is awesome and I love the colours,” said long-time CDC patient Janessa Gerhardt who spoke at the grand opening. “I love the winter mural and all of the new spaces.” Another mural in the Children’s Outpatient Centre pays tribute to the musical donors that made the makeover possible and features caricatures of the members of The Tragically Hip. “I think they got me just right,” joked guitarist Rob Baker after seeing the mural for the first time. “It is beautiful to see the kid’s reaction to these spaces. When you see a child in the hospital for treatment and they are having fun and they

Photo/Mandy Marciniak have a space where they can relax and enjoy themselves it is pretty incredible.” Following the unveiling of the new spaces, the band treated patients and community members to a performance in the lobby of Hotel Dieu. They were

happy to mingle with community members and enjoy the new space and they hope others enjoy it too. “We are totally honoured to be part of this,” said guitarist Paul Langlois.”We are lucky to have opportunities like this

to give back to our community.” To learn more about the Smilezone Foundation visit www.smilezone.com follow @Smilezone4Kids on Twitter and look for Smilezone Foundation on Facebook.

No home ‘suite’ homes allowed in Westbrook: secondary suite program cancelled By Bill Hutchins

stages. Coun. Jim Neill tried to come to the defence of a homebuilder that has bought several lots in Westbrook Meadows with the intention of constructing custombuilt secondary suites. He tried to amend the staff report by adding a ‘grandfather’ clause that would’ve allowed the builder to construct four more houses on Windermere Drive, and then convert them into secondary suites. Concept Property Group Inc. has opposed the need for a secondary suite freeze. The developer noted that city staff and engineering reports from 2010 to 2013 did not raise any concerns about servicing constraints when council initially included Westbrook in the secondary suites pilot area. Concept Property had threatened legal action to protect its investment in property. Coun. Neill called it “troubling� for the city to retroactively change the zoning rules that could affect the livelihood of a developer that purchased the lots in good faith.

However, Coun. Peter Stroud says the city never promised anything to a home builder, adding they took a risk when buying land in the subdivision. “In this case it didn’t work out.� Under the rules, a newly-built house must be occupied before the owner can apply for a permit to add a secondary suite. Commissioner Hurdle confirmed no current permit applications have been made to the city in this neighbourhood. “We don’t issue permits based on assumptions.� Several politicians spoke against Coun. Neill’s amendment, saying the city can’t set rules based on what a builder may or may not do. “We don’t know who else may have an intent to do something in that area,� noted Mayor Bryan Paterson. Neill’s amendment was defeated 11-1. The entire staff recommendation was approved 12-0. Coun. Kevin George did not participate in the debate or vote after he declared a potential conflict of interest. Councillors wanted to know

when the sewage capacity in Westbrook might be upgraded to allow secondary suites in the future. Utilities Kingston president Jim Keech gave no timeline, but says improvements to the area’s pumping station and force mains will be in the tens of millions of dollars. “It will be a fairly big, expensive and intrusive undertaking.� While Westbrook is removed from the pilot project area, the same report allowed urban neighbourhoods of Kingston East where sufficient water/sewer capacity exists to be included for secondary suites. Homeowners and developers in a large area of Pittsburgh district – north of Highway 2, east of Highway 15 and south of Gore Road – now have the legal ability to rent out portions of new or existing homes as secondary suites. The existing pilot area already includes a large swath of Kingston West - bounded roughly by Bath Road, Collins Bay Road, Highway 401 and Sydenham Road – but Westbrook will be removed from the list.

News – There won’t be any more secondary suites allowed in Westbrook in the foreseeable future. City council voted unanimously to adopt a staff recommendation to stop the two-homes-in-one practice based on a lack of sewage capacity in the fast growing west end subdivision. Westbrook has roughly doubled its population in recent years pushing infrastructure servicing to its limit, according to city planners and Utilities Kingston. “That area is challenged in terms of servicing,� said community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. Removing Westbrook from the list of neighbourhoods where secondary suites are permitted has been the focus of heated debate among neighbours and developers in recent months. The Westbrook Association strongly opposes the construction of new houses that are specifically designed for multiple family uses. A secondary suite house is defined

as having 60 per cent of floor space for the main residence, and the other 40 per cent for another occupant. “It’s not the intent of what our secondary suites program was supposed to be,� said Coun. Lisa Osanic. Some councillors say the intent was to allow secondary suites in existing homes, such as renting out a basement, rather than custombuilt homes for the purpose of providing more affordable housing. Westbrook Meadows residents complained the two-unit houses, which include second floor fire escapes in backyards, are out of place among single-family homes in their neighbourhood. While house aesthetics are an issue for residents, servicing capacity was the driving factor to cancel the secondary suites program in Westbrook. It’s believed four duplexes - a total of eight units - have already been constructed in Westbrook, four others have been approved, and four more were in the planning

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING

Building Department Change of Fees (Section 7 of the Building Code Act) DATE/TIME: LOCATION:

Monday, December 14, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. Council Chambers, TLTI Municipal Offices 1233 Prince Street, Lansdowne, ON K0E 1L0 TAKE NOTICE that the Council for the Corporation of the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands proposes to pass a by-law to change the fees on applications for and on the issuance of permits. A Public Meeting will be held on the proposed changes at the time and location noted above. The intent of the proposed amendment is to change the existing fees structure as permitted in Section 7 of the Building Code Act to administer and enforce the operational costs of the building department. BACKGROUND The Township has identified that the building permit fees do not appear to cover the costs of operating the Building Department. This has become more significant as we have refined accounting practices, allocating more overhead costs to the Department since 2013 (e.g. insurance and program support allocation have added $61,000 + to expenses). In 2014 the Department had a deficit ($14,355.12) and in 2015 a deficit ($23,990) is projected based on the current building fee structure. The Department had established a reserve. The reserve covered and is projected to cover deficits in 2014 and 2015, respectively. However, the reserve balance for the Department is projected at $16,129.87 by the end of 2015 and without amendments to the fees will be depleted in 2016. Additional information concerning the Change of Fees is available to the public, at no cost, from the Planning and Development Department at 1233 Prince Street, Lansdowne, during normal office hours. This information will also be available on the Township website: www.leeds1000islands.ca. You can contact our office by calling (613) 659-2415, or by fax (613) 659-3619, or email mlavigne@townshipleeds.on.ca DATED at the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands 5th day of November, 2015.

Clubhouse, hotel and bridge among 2015 Christmas pewter ornaments By Bill Hutchins

Richardson renos full steam ahead as Gaels bow out of CIS playoffs The Queen’s Gaels played their final game in the current Richardson Stadium against the Carleton Ravens on Saturday, Oct. 31. The stadium will be demolished and rebuilt for next season. Queen’s did not get the result they were looking for in front of their hometown fans and were eliminated from the OUA playoffs in a 39-8 loss to the Ravens. Carleton led 29-0 at half time and Queen’s got their only touchdown in the fouth quarter on a pass from Nate Hobbs to Doug Corby.

News – Is Kingston running out of well-known landmarks to hang on the Christmas tree? Michele Langlois, general manager and marketing director of Downtown Kingston’s business association, agrees it’s becoming a challenge. “I think that every year,� she quipped. “I’d like to continue with new (ornaments). I’m just not sure what we have left.� For now, the downtown continues to find a different list of landmarks every year that are worthy of casting as limited edition pewter ornaments, which are sold to the public for $10 each. The 2015 edition includes; -Cooke’s Fine Foods building, 61 Brock Street, a business celebrating its 150th anniversary, -Belvedere Hotel, 141 King Street, an elegant building constructed in 1880, -the former Robert Meek Public School, 559 Bagot Street, constructed in 1920 and present home of the Boys & Girls Club of Kingston and Area, -Ban Righ Hall, 10 Bader Lane, built in 1925 as the first woman’s residence at Queen’s University, -LaSalle Causeway, completed in 1917, the centre lift bridge was designed by Joseph Strauss, the same man who designed the famous Golden Gate Bridge. The hugely-popular holiday staple is now in its 22nd year. With five new ornaments rolled out each year that means over 100 different locations – mainly heritage fixtures - have been turned into a tree ornament so far, from City Hall to Kingston Penitentiary. But the BIA’s selection committee is trying to avoid hitting a limestone wall when it comes to picking unique landmarks that can still resonate with customers. That’s why it’s been branching out. “We have done iconic Kingston things that aren’t historic buildings. For example we did the Town Crier one year. We did the Time sculpture. The Phoebe yacht. Wolfe Islander III. This year the LaSalle Causeway. We have broadened our parameters,� Langlois explained. She says even though Kingston has a treasure trove of heritage buildings, not all of them may hold sentimental appeal for the masses. “We have so many buildings we haven’t done but they’re not necessarily well known. When you think of King Street every house is

gorgeous and worthy of being cast but we don’t know how popular they might be.� The BIA has also considered, but not yet adopted, re-casting a ‘best of’ list of pewter ornaments that were previously sold. Langlois says re-casting some of the old favourites may happen in future years. “We’ve considered doing some repeats, and having the public vote on that. Bringing back City Hall or Prince George Hotel – ones that we did 22 years ago. I’m sure some of those collections have been lost even.� Another option is to showcase a different side of a previously highlighted building. “We’ve done one entrance to Hotel Dieu but not the building itself. The same with (shuttered) Kingston Penitentiary. There might be other facets of a building that we could do,� Langlois offered. She remains amazed at how many people buy the ornaments and send them abroad to family and friends as Christmas gifts. While limestone landmarks are constant on the annual list, the most popular tree ornament in the past two decades, without question, was actually not a building at all. “It was the Gaskin Lion. We had people in tears in our office when it sold out. It went like wildfire.� The life-sized iron statue was installed in 1909 in Macdonald Park, and showcased as a holiday ornament in 2010. The first of this year’s holiday ornaments will go on sale Nov. 16 with a new ornament unveiled every week for five weeks. They can be purchased at selected downtown locations for $10 each upon presentation of $25 worth of purchase receipts from a downtown business such as a restaurant, store, salon or even a medical clinic.

Sistema students graduate from paper to wood instruments By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – First Avenue Public School is about to get a lot louder. Students at the school have been participating in the new Sistema after school music program and for the past four weeks they have only been ‘playing’ papier-mâchĂŠ instruments; on Nov. 5 they graduated from paper to wood. “We used the paper to teach them how to hold the instrument, how to use the bow and how to walk with their instruments so they don’t get banged or dropped,â€? explained Karma Tomm, director of Queen’s Community Music. “They have been learning for four weeks and now they are finally receiving real wood instruments.â€? The 20 students in the program received their new instruments, courtesy of Joe’s M.I.L.L, at a special ceremony and concert at the school. They showed parents some of the skills they’ve learned so far, but many were eager for the next steps with their new instruments. “I am excited for our new instruments,â€? said Grade 4 student Suchi Patel who will learn to play the viola. “It was heavier and it felt weird to hold it and I am looking forward to hearing the sounds of the instrument and learning how to play.â€? Based on a Venezuelan music program called El Sistema (the system), the Kingston program is new this year and includes students in Grades 2 to 4. The program is vastly different from other music lessons because of its focus on frequency, interaction and accessibility. Students learn in groups rather than one on one with an instructor and they are encouraged to practice in groups and learn from one another. The program is completely free for students and allows them the opportunity to learn how to play cello, violin or the viola. Tomm was passionate about the program right from the beginning and while it was difficult

at first to find community support she has been overwhelmed by how many people have stepped up. “The best part for me has been the amazing community support we have received. It is incredible,� she said. “Also, watching the kids go from zero to this in four weeks has been amazing and it reinforces what I believed we could do. I believe this program is so important.� At the school level, principal Jan Le Clair has also noticed the impact the program has made on students and she hears about it from parents too. “I have parents telling me that their kids want to come to school because they get to participate in this program after school,� she said. “They are being successful and that is what music is all about; they get immediate feedback and gratification when they play together and that is such a beautiful thing. They are becoming a very closely bonded group and I am so excited to see that transition continue.� The program has been made possible by a variety of community donors and also through The Learning Partnership, a group that pledged another $20,000 to the program at the end of the concert. “We see the impact this program is having and we want to see that continue,� said Akela Peoples, president and CEO of The Learning Partnership. “But we also urge to community to match or even triple this number to keep this program going.� Ultimately, Tomm would like to see the Sistema program expand to another school in the coming years, but for right now she is just enjoying watching and learning with the kids. “We couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve made and the support we’ve received,� she said. “We hope to be playing music with this group by Christmas and performing many more concerts.� For more information about the Sistema program visit www.sistemakingston.ca

Moving on out...

A while back I wrote about all the reasons I love living on a lake and while everything I wrote is true, things have changed a bit. Over the past couple of months Korey and I have been discussing our living situation. We love living on the lake with the amenities and space we have there, but things like the commute to Kingston each day and the upcoming winter made us realize that a move to Kingston would be very beneficial for both of us. As I have mentioned before, winters are challenging at the cottage. Our road isn’t municipally maintained, the weather is colder because of winds coming off the lake, the cottage isn’t fully insulated and we heat by wood stove, making it harder to keep consistent heat. While we’ve been working with Korey’s parents to get the cottage to a fully winterized state over the past few years, it is still a lot of work to live there

over the winter and there were times last winter when I would have given anything for a thermostat-controlled, consistently heated space. The commute was another big factor for us. Each day we commute 45 minutes to Kingston and while I feel like this is nothing compared to what people in the GTA experience each day, it is still a pain. In the winter this gets even harder because we have to make sure the fire is fully stocked for the day before we leave so we don’t come home to a freezing cottage. We also have to brave the road to get out, which generally takes twice as long as normal. Again, winters are not so great. Needless to say, all of this led to an apartment search and now a move and while I am happy to be moving into the city, I am also reminded how much moving sucks. I don’t think there is anyone out there who enjoys the process of moving and if you do know someone who likes it, please, send them my way. I am a pretty organized person so moving is a challenge. I have this overwhelming need to organize everything, wrap it carefully and put it in a nicely labelled box, but in re-

Kanata Kourier-Standard

In Our Opinion ality this is simply not possible. Between work, our regular day to day activities and the aforementioned commute to and from work, packing has been a challenge to say the least. Packing has also been more difficult because a lot of the furniture and household items Korey and I own are still in the GTA, making them even harder to move. Despite all of the stress of moving and the packing that comes along with it I am beyond excited to finally be moving into Kingston and more importantly into a space that is completely ours. For the past four years, Korey and I have been living in his parent’s space and while all of our stuff was there, it never really felt like home. Now we have the opportunity to decorate our own space and buy our own furniture and really build a home that it all about us. Sure there will be times when I miss the cottage and living there is something I will remember fondly, but luckily it is still just 45 minutes away and we can visit whenever we want. But I think I’ll be okay skipping the winter visits and staying put in the city with my thermostat and heat.

A cabinet that looks like Canada Editorial - More than 70 per cent of voting Canadians went to the polls on Oct. 19 looking for something different – and by the looks of it change has come to the True North, strong and free. On Nov. 4, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced his gendered-balanced 31-member cabinet comprised of 16 men (including himself) and 15 women, to a captivated crowd of 3,500 gathered at Rideau Hall to watch the swearing in of the country’s 23rd prime minister. Below are some of what we think are the more noteworthy picks: There’s former British Columbia Crown prosecutor Jody WilsonRaybould, appointed Justice Minister and attorney general. Ms. Wilson-Raybould served as adviser to the B.C. Treaty Commission and was regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations. She is a member of the We Wai Kai Nation. Our newest Minister of Defense is Harjit Singh Sajjan, a former Vancouver Police officer with the city’s organized crime unit. By the way he is also a former. Lt. Col in the Canadian Armed Forces, who served in Afghanistan and Boznia-Herzegovina. The appointment for Minister of Health is Jane Philpot, chief of family medicine at Markham’s Stouffville hospital, and assistant professor of family and community medicine at the University of Toronto. Ms. Philpot spent nine years working as a doctor in Niger, and was instrumental in helping Ethiopia create its first family medicine training program. Those aggrieved by the idea of consciously appointing a diverse, gender-neutral cabinet will generally make some kind of appeal to the effect of: â€œYour arbitrary decisions have upset the Natural Order of Things. Please return them to the default state of Pure Justice. â€? By now, however, many commentators have pointed out that previous cabinet appointments have neither been exactly just, nor pure. As we have seen, Canadians, in their role as our democracy’s great board of directors, have this time around hired some extraordinarily competent members of parliament, and the prime minister has succeeded in selecting a diverse and representative crew, while maintaining the Cabinet’s integrity as an elite legislative body symbolizing the best of our society; it’s pretty hard to argue with an accomplished lawyer becoming justice minister, a highly respected doctor of medicine appointed health minister, a Nobel-prize winning scientist (Kristy Duncan) becoming science minister, with an astronaut (Marc Garneau) selected Minster of Transport (how frigging awesome is that?).

Kingston kids donate $1,160 to Humane Society By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

News - The group is called 100 Kids Kingston, but it was in fact 171 kids that packed the Boys and Girls Club Nov. 2 to collectively decide how they would give back to their community at the initiative’s inaugural meeting. The idea is that each child donates $10 to a charity that is decided on through a vote; prior to the meeting, a total of 21 charities were nominated by group members and narrowed down to three choices through a random number generator. At the meeting, the kids learned about Habitat for Humanity, Save a Family from Syria and the Kingston Humane Society; in the end, they voted for the Humane Society to receive the $1,160 they collectively donated. “It was just so exciting and really rewarding to see all the kids come out,” said organizer Jess Duggan of the high turnout. “We’ve been spending lots of time planning and trying to think through all the details and to see the kids really engaged and interested and excited was really amazing.” She explained that it was important to the organizers for the meeting to include a strong educational component, and short presentations were heard from not only the children who nominated the charities, but also representatives from the organizations. “It’s just about opening their eyes to the need because it’s not always obvious, and they don’t always know about it. I think we take for granted that we have places to live and we have electricity here in Kingston and we have our pets at home that get lots of treats and lots of food and have a place to sleep.”

Representatives from the Kingston Humane Society brought some furry friends to the inaugural 100 Kids Kingston meeting.

The goal is also to instil in children the idea that they have the ability to help. Many of the older children even earned their $10 by doing chores or helping out in other ways at home or at school, adding another level to the lesson in social responsibility. “We want to open their eyes to the fact that they

can do something about it,” Duggan said. “Even though they’re little they have the ability to give and to do something or to use their time to be able to volunteer and help out.” Representatives from the Kingston Humane Society will then return to the next 100 Kids meeting to report on the impact of the donation

and allow the children to see the difference they have made. Meetings are held three times per year. 100 Kids Kingston is open to school-aged children from Kindergarten to Grade 6. To learn more, visit www.100KidsKingston. com.

Events - It has been 10 years since Jesus graced the stage in Kingston and that seemed like long enough for the Kingston Meistersingers. “We really wanted to bring it back, but in a new way,” explained Liane Penny,Kingston Meistersingers president of the company’s latest production, Jesus Christ Superstar. “When we decided to take on something as big as Jesus Christ Superstar we really wanted to take a fresh approach. We didn’t want to do Jesus in a loincloth with Roman centurions; we really wanted to make the show modern.” In this case, modern means a complete update of the show with a live band on stage, cell phone use being encouraged throughout the show, lots of audience participation, sing alongs and glow sticks. “We really wanted to take on the idea of people’s fascination with their cell phones and celebrity cul-

ture,” said Penny. “The cast in the show are really getting caught up in the cult of celebrity around Jesus and we want the audience to feel that. We really wanted to make it more like a concert than a theatre production.” Even with the modern take, Penny feels that the show will resonate with a variety of community members as it always has. “I think the message stays true whether it is set [2,000 years ago] or in modern day Las Vegas. The whole musical is sung and the core message is still there. There are messages for everyone in the story and we hope people enjoy the show as much as we do.” The Kingston Meistersingers production of Jesus Christ Superstar will be performed at the Octave Theatre (711 Dalton Avenue) Nov. 12-14, and Nov. 19-21 at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2:00 p.m. on Nov. 15 and 22. Tickets are $28 for adults, $25 senior citizens, $20 students/children. For tickets visit www.meistersingers.ca or www.kingstongrand.ca/tickets Please note: Due to mature themes, this show is rated PG 13

Teens learn that finances are about more than just math By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News –Finances is still a topic that intimidates many people, but the Kingston chapter of Advocis, the Financial Advisors Association of Canada, is working to change that. This November, to kick off financial literacy month, Advocis decided to focus on youth. On Nov. 2, more than 800 students from both the Limestone District School Board and the Algonquin Catholic District School Board were invited to attend a presentation about financial literacy. Surely many were expecting a dry, boring presentation, but what they got was very different. “I have been doing this presentation as for about 15 years now and my goal is really to engage people and make finances about more than just math,” explained James Cunningham also known as the Funny Money Man, a financial expert and performer. “I wrote this show because my dad was an entrepreneur growing up and I learned early on that you need to have your financial life in order” Cunningham uses wit, charm, comedy and cold hard cash to teach students, mainly in high school, college or university, about financial literacy. He focuses on statistics and

real-life situations throughout his 45-minute presentation, but his main goal is to encourage students to ask questions. “The whole idea is to get them going to their math teachers, their parents and even finical advisors and get them asking questions and get them focusing on the long term,” he said. “The problem is that parents think financial literacy is being taught in schools and schools think it is being taught at home and that is where you get entire generations of students who are just graduating and have no idea how to manage money.” Cunningham focused on three major points– know your flow, control what you owe and invest your dough. “They need to learn how to control their wallet, manage their debt and more importantly how to manage credit cards,” he explained. “After all that they really need to think about investing. Time is the most valuable investment tool when it comes to building long-term wealth.” As wallets across the country become more and more digital and youth spend more and more money, Cunningham sees an even greater need for financial education. “Millennial spending habits are really affecting everything we do,”

he said. “Marketing companies are really trying to get into the wallets of these students earlier and earlier without them even realizing it and it is important for students to learn about finances so they don’t end up lost in it all.” From a local perspective, Will Britton, president of Advocis Kingston, sees the need for youth education first hand. “For these kids, this is the time when behaviours and habits really start to take root,” said Britton. “We wanted to make an impact and help them get a handle on some of these issues at a young age and we want to let them know that financial advisors are there and we want to answer their questions.” Response to the presentations was overwhelmingly positive and Britton hopes that something similar can be organized again. “We need to figure out what else we can do on an annual basis to keep the conversations going,” he said. “Financial literacy is so important and we need to talk about it more, especially with students.” For more information about financial literacy month visit www. advocis.ca and for more information about James Cunningham and his Funny Money presentation visit James Cunningham spoke to students from the ACDSB and LDSB about financial literacy on Nov. 2.

Community groups team up to adapt to climate change locally News – As Kingstonians experienced unseasonably warm temperatures on Nov. 4, community groups invited them to learn about Canada’s changing climate, the anticipated impacts and what can be done to adapt. The event, entitled ‘Adapting to Climate Change in the Cataraqui Region’, was organized by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) in partnership with the City of Kingston and Queen’s School of Urban and Regional Planning; it included a variety of displays, info sessions and a special presentation by The Weather Network’s Chris St. Clair. “This event coincides with our 50th anniversary at the CRCA,” explained Rob McRae, watershed planning coordinator for the CRCA. “We’ve looked back on our history and now we are looking to the future to see what is going to be happening in Southeastern Ontario in the next 50 years. We realized very quickly that the big issue of the future is climate change.” McRae went on to explain that with climate change comes unpredictable weather patterns, more varied temperatures and a need to adapt. “There are a lot of potential im-

“I was surprised to learn how much we actually can do for climate change adaptation and how little people actually realize the link between land use planning and climate change adaptation,” said Rueckwald. “Hopefully we can help with that.” In terms of things that community members can do to help decrease the effects of climate change, McRae has some suggestions. “A lot of the no regrets actions that people are already aware of should continue and that can include anything from carpooling to planting trees and being careful about what you flush down the drain,” he said. “People can also focus on emergency preparedness and making sure you are prepared for things like ice storms. Those types of events are predicted to happen more often now and we need to be aware of that and prepare for that.” Overall, the event aimed to sim- Megan Rueckwald (left) is the project manager for the Queen’s School ply raise awareness about climate of Urban and Regional Planning project with the CRCA and Rob McRae change in the area and McRae hopes is the Watershed Planning Coordinator for the CRCA.

pacts to our way of life,” he said. “We held this event to inspire discussion about this topic and we’ve invited some partner organizations to join us and speak about these issues.” Invited partners included Utilities Kingston, Sustainable Kingston, KFL&A Public Health and the Queen’s School of Urban and Regional Planning, which has been working closely with the CRCA on a project about how climate change could impact Southeastern Ontario and what municipalities can do through their land use planning to prepare. “We are looking at whether or not the existing land use policies in the region are supportive of climate change adaptation,” explained project manager and Queen’s grad student Megan Rueckwald. “We are hoping to show people the connection between climate change and land use planning and show what they can do to improve that. We want people to start thinking about climate change more and the impact they are making every day.” Through their research, Rueckwald and her team of 10 grad students learned that municipalities are concerned about climate change and many of them have a lot of indirect policies that address it, but there is room for improvement.

even his grandpa was there, and it is all about timing. It was strictly up to Hunter,” his mother Nicole said. His success garnered him the Barb McAllister overall (1 year) scholarship as well as other awards, and makes him eligible to plow in the 2016 Canadian Plowing Match to be held in Ottawa..

Island Refugee Interest Group: Recently islanders, concerned about the plight of refugees fleeing their countries, were invited to a meeting organized by Judith Kinghorn and Clara Lovitt. They and a small group (9) are interested in engaging a larger number of islanders (church groups, women’s institutes, not for profits etc.) in helping sponsor a refugee family through another organization, that is off the island. “The government has made it so that it has to be a group that has already been stamped approved.. “We want to partner with ‘Save a family from Syria’. That’s the group partnership between Islamic Society of Kingston and First Road United Church, and Dawn Clarke. The Sponsorship Agreement holder is the United Church of Canada. They already have families in Canada,” Clara Lovitt said. ‘We have not determined how we can assist, fundraising or settlement perhaps. There will be another meeting on the island in a week

Heritage News :In the early days of living on Wolfe Island I was introduced to the wonders of the Wolfe Island Plowing Match. I learned a new vocabulary about furrows, crowns and lands, about the quality of the grounds being plowed, about the machinery used (conventional and reversible plows) and about those plowing, and got to know many of my neighbours. I loved the horses decked out in their finery and the effort involved for those manoeuvring the walking plows. I was surprised at the numbers including young women and men among the plowmen. In 2003 I wrote: “Very dry conditions greeted participants to Wolfe Island’s 47th Plowing Match held at Broederdale Farm. The youngest plowman at the event was 4 year old Hunter Chown riding a tractor in the Novelty Class. The tractor was built by his grandfather Dennis Mosier, well known ploughing match judge.” In 2012 : “ In spite of the weather people wandered the fields to watch first hand and up close the exactness and skill of what it is to turn a furrow. The 4 Chown boys, Hunter , Cole , Reid and Orrie (all under age 16) were ploughing this year.” And at the Aug. 2015 International Plowing Match in Finch, Hunter Chown ( now 16) ploughed his way to win the Overall Ontario Junior Championship in the 16-19 yrs Class 2 Group 2, Tractors, 2 Furrows. “He had to do it all alone, not

The Wolfe Islands Feral Feline Project continues: Many colonies of feral cats were identified on the island over the last year. Many of them have already completed the spay neuter program as it became available. On a regular basis volunteers attempt to live - trap feral cats (last week another 7 ) for transport to the mainland for spaying, neutering as well as rabies vaccination. Five cats were from the ‘foot’ and 2 from the interior of the island. Since October 19, 20 feral cats have been spayed, neutered, and vaccinated, all due with thanks to the kind donations of many who have helped WIFF volunteers make this possible. “We need to identify the Feral Cat Colonies:” If you know anyone who has a colony of cats in their area and sees the value of the program, or would be interested in volunteering to help , please contact Cheryl Gurnsey at 385- 2532. The aim is to deliver 8 cats per week, or a number the vet is comfortable with. If interested in being part of the newly organized WI committee, call Jana Mills, (613-3852792) millsj@queensu.care line “feral cats” or Linda Thomas (613)385-1947. The WI committee will be applying for grants and funding.

Family and Children’s Services launches annual Tree of Hope campaign By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News - It may be the beginning of November, but Santa is already hard at work; on Nov. 2, the man in red visited Family and Children’s Services in Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (FACSFLA) to kick off their annual Tree of Hope campaign. Each year the campaign, which initiated in 1894, asks the community to donate toys and other items to FACSFLA for children in need. Last year, the agency helped over 900 children receive gifts and this year they are hoping to help even more. “As always, we are asking for donations of toys and money, but there are a few changes this year,” explained Steve Woodman, executive director for FACSFLA at the campaign launch on Nov. 2. “We are asking community members to give gifts unwrapped this year to ensure that we get the gifts we need to the families that are appropriate, and we are also asking for more than just toys.” Woodman went on to explain that many of the families in the area need more than just toys and in an effort to get the items they really need, the agency has set up a list online to help donors. “We need some bigger items like cribs, chilMP for Kingston and the Islands, Mark Gerretsen takes a selfie with Santa at the FACSFLA dren’s beds and car seats for newborns,” he said.

No scrap was left without a use in the Depression years The bag hung on the back of the kitchen door. Mother didn’t like it there...where everyone could see it as soon as they walked in the house, but there wasn’t really any other place for it. She reasoned, since everyone she knew on the Northcote Side Road had a bag in the same spot, that was obviously the best place for it. There was nothing unusual about the bag. Unless it was the red and blue printing on both its sides. It

read: Five Roses Flour. Used for any other purpose, Mother would have tried, usually with little success, to bleach out the printing when the bags were used for bloomers, aprons, fancy tea towels, pillow slips, and yes, even sheets for the beds. But this bag would not be used for anything so fancy. It was simply called the rag bag. And that was its sole purpose. It held anything that at one time was worn on our backs, and which had developed enough holes, had faded beyond use, worn thin and beyond repair, and generally was no longer considered wearable. It always amazed me why Mother, once something was doomed for the rag bag, had to first make sure it was

washed. Then it was folded neatly, and crammed into the rag bag. And then every last scrap put into the bag, would eventually have another purpose before finally being chucked into the cook stove. Tea towels, once flour bags themselves, but worn so thin, they were useless, became dusters. They would be cut into smaller pieces, and once they were used several times, would once again be washed, and then chucked back into the rag bag. Father’s and the three brothers’ long-johns were choice pieces in the rag bag. They became scrub cloths. Of course, they were cut into workable pieces first. There were two types of material in the long-johns... cotton and wool. And only the cot-

tons were used as scrub cloths. They absorbed the hot water and soap perfectly, could be rinsed out, could be used to mop up spills, and generally used over and over again. The underwear made of fine wool, had a special purpose. And it was at this time of year, the wool underwear, with anything else that Mother thought suitable, was taken out of the rag bag, and, piled in a corner of the kitchen on a chair, until she and my sister Audrey had a spare evening to put it all to another purpose. Anything of a light colour would have to have a Ritz Dye dip before it could be put to its final use. And then, as the evenings grew shorter, and the coal oil lamps were lit sometimes while we were still at the supper table, all of those pieces from the rag bag would be laid out on the kitchen table, and Mother and Audrey, using Mother’s best sewing scissors, cut everything into long thin strips. These were hand-sewn together until they were one long, rope-like piece, and it was my job to wrap it around the back of a chair to make a big coil. And then, on the cold winter nights, where the kitchen was the warmest room in the house, those long coils from the rag bag, would end up in their final resting place. With a large-eyed needle, and the heaviest thread Mother could buy at Walker’s Store in Renfrew, she would turn those strips into yet another braided rug for the floor. She would divide the evening into

sewing together the long strips, and spending time on her beloved diaries. Heaven forbid that her diaries should be neglected!! And I would watch those strips, three at a time, turn into braids, hand -sewn, and see the effort getting bigger and bigger until the braided rug was the size Mother wanted. There were braided rungs everywhere. The one at the back door, which got constant use from wet gum rubbers, snow covered footwear, and yes, even the odd piece of manure stuck onto Father’s boots, before the winter was half over, would have to be discarded and a new one put down. I would often play a game over the braided rugs. I would get down on my hands and knees and try to remember what part of a braid had served its original purpose. There would be the remnants of my faded and worn navy blue fleece lined bloomers, and Father’s old red plaid shirt, and of course, the long underwear. Stuffing the rag bag was an ongoing process. Like morsels of left over meals, string from Briscoe’s General Store, tin cans, newspapers, and yes, even goose grease had a purpose back in the thirties. Nothing was wasted. It was the only way to survive the Depression years, which had closed tightly around us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Things to consider before buying an investment property

Price trends Recent sale activity in a given town or neighborhood is something prospective real estate investors should study before buying an investment property. Wouldbe real estate investors can explore real estate websites such as Zillow.com for recent sale information, which may also be available through local government agencies. Such data can be invaluable, showing potential investors which neighborhoods are in demand and which may be in decline. Taxes Investment properties are not eligible for as many tax benefits as primary residences. However, landlords can write off repairs, management costs and other fees associated with rental properties. But it’s not just their own tax bill prospective investors should consider before buying an investment property. Many potential buyers down the road may prefer a property in an area where property taxes are relatively low, so even if you can afford the tax on the investment property, you

may find buyers are unwilling to assume that burden when you put the property up for sale in the future. Location Prospective real estate investors no doubt know the value of location with regard to real estate, but if you can’t afford to buy in a neighborhood that’s currently hot, that does not necessarily mean you can’t still capitalize on that area’s popularity. When a town becomes popular, its property values rise, and many buyers find themselves just barely priced out. When that happens, the surrounding towns tend to become the next hot neighborhood, as these areas are nearly as close to the attractions that make the initial neighborhood so desirable. Buying on the outskirts of a hot neighborhood can set you up to benefit nicely when that area gets too pricey. Schools School systems should be examined even if you do not have children. In a recent Trulia.com survey of American home buyers, 35 percent of respondents with children under age 18 indicated they want to live in great school districts. GreatSchools.org has profiles of 200,000 public, public charter and private preK-12 schools. Investors can use the GreatSchools.org search engine to find information about local schools and school systems so they can better position themselves to buy properties in areas that will appeal to buyers down the road. Real estate can be a fruitful investment, and investors who want to benefit the most from their properties will explore various factors before purchasing a home or home.

Real estate can be an incredibly fruitful investment. Buying a property at the right time can provide investors with a substantial return when they decide to sell, and that opportunity compels many men and women to consider investing in real estate. While there’s no denying real estate can yield a great return on buyers’ initial investments, there’s more to making money in real estate than simply buying a property and waiting for its value to rise. Buyers who are thinking of investing in real estate should consider a host of factors before purchasing an investment property.

How to make older homes more energy efficient find. Run your hand along doorways and windows to determine if any drafts are coming through. Older homes may also develop cracks in bricks, around the foundation and in siding or stucco. Seal any areas where you feel air infiltrating your home, which will save money, reduce your energy consumption and make your older home more efficient. • Add insulation. Many older homes are poorly insulated. But according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, adding insulation can reduce energy costs by as much as 50 percent. Installing insulation can be tricky, especially if insulation was not originally included in your home, as is sometimes the case with older homes. Insulation can become damp and prove ineffective if installed improperly. Damp insulation also may contribute to mold growth and rot in the home’s framing. Older homes may be lacking adequate insulation around attics, crawl spaces, basements, heating and cooling ducts, and water pipes. Cover your water heater with an insulated water heater blanket so the heater retains more

heat and consumes less energy to heat the water. • Stay on top of your home. Much like older vehicles, older homes require a little extra TLC on the part of homeowners. Don’t allow your home to fall into disrepair. Even if your energy bills are not on the rise, inspect windows and doors to make sure they are closing tightly, as over time such seemingly minor problems can add up to substantial energy loss. Don’t forget to clean gutters and downspouts, removing debris that can add up and lead to water damage that may ultimately compromise the effectiveness of your home’s insulation. • Book an energy audit. Energy audits, which may be offered free of charge by your utility company, can help detect any additional areas where a home may be using energy inefficiently. Even if you have to pay for an audit, the cost savings if any additional inefficiencies are discovered will likely add up to more than the cost of the audit. Older homes are attractive to many homeowners, who can take several steps to make sure their homes are operating as efficiently as possible.

Older properties tend to have a sense of charm that newly built homes may lack. Perhaps it’s their lived-in feel or design elements that remind homeowners of yesteryear that make older homes so popular among home buyers. What older homes have in character they may lack in modern amenities. For example, whereas many homes are now built with energy efficiency in mind, older homes may not be so eco-friendly. Fortunately, there are many ways for homeowners who love their older homes to keep that love going strong while making their homes more energy efficient at the same time. • Check for leaks and plug any you find. Homes may develop air leaks over time, and such leaks allow air to infiltrate the home. When that occurs, homeowners instinctively turn up the thermostat in winter to combat the cold air getting in. Come summertime, those same homeowners will run their air conditioners on a higher setting in an effort to stay comfortable when hot air is creeping through the cracks. Rather than adjusting the temperature inside, fix any sources of air infiltration you

Factors to consider when choosing a neighborhood When shopping for a home, it’s easy for buyers to fall in love with a property. A well-maintained home with updated features can be hard to resist, but buyers must consider more than just a home’s appearance before submitting an offer. One variable prospective home buyers tend to value more highly than others is the neighborhood where they will ultimately choose to live. Many buyers even value neighborhoods more than homes, feeling they can always fix a home but cannot necessarily fix an undesirable neighborhood. When considering which neighborhood to begin a home search, buyers should research a host of factors. Crime Crime statistics are public domain, meaning buyers can examine crime figures for any neighborhood where they are considering buying a home. Some real estate websites list neighborhood crime ratings among the information they offer about a given property. In addition, buyers interested in learning about crime in a given neighborhood can visit a site such as CrimeReports.com to access data on crimes committed near a particular address. Home values Home values are another factor to consider when choosing a neighborhood in which to buy a home. Buyers can work with a local realtor to find a neighborhood or area where real estate prices are trending upwards. While buyers might be able to find a great deal on a home in a neighborhood where home prices are dropping, it’s important to remember those home prices are dropping for a reason. Work with your realtor to find a neighborhood where you can afford a home and where property values are not in decline. Realtors will have access to recent sales figures so you can get an idea of whether a neighborhood is trending upward or in decline. Amenities The proximity of amenities such as shopping, restaurants and parks is attractive to many buyers, and that’s something all buyers should consider before buying a home. Even if you prefer a home in a remote location, that could limit your market of buyers when you want to sell the home down the road. While your own comfort and preferences should ultimately prevail over potential resale value, it’s important that you at least con-

particular neighborhood, do a test run before making an offer on a home. Wake up early and drive to the area where you are thinking of buying, and then commute from there during rush hour. Also, do the reverse commute come quitting time. You might be able to get an estimated commute time online, but a test run can give you a more accurate idea of what your daily trips to and from the office will be like. Choosing a neighborhood where you will enjoy living requires some forethought and research.

Host a successful open house When selling their homes, homeowners can employ several strategies in an effort to drum up interest among potential buyers. One such strategy is to host an open house, which invites prospective buyers to tour the property. Realtors have long used open houses to introduce properties to the market, and a wellplanned open house can help sellers generate numerous offers in a single day. Whether working with a realtor or listing homes on their own, homeowners can follow a few simple tips to ensure their open house is a success. • Generate publicity online. Nowadays many prospective home buyers do the bulk of their research via their computers and devices. By advertising their open houses online, sellers have the potential to reach a wide array of buyers. Many real estate agents employ sites such as Zillow.com and Trulia.com to promote open houses and showcase properties, so sellers can make sure their agents are taking advantage of these wildly popular sites. Some even allow sellers to list their homes on apps that buyers can peruse on their smartphones. • Generate publicity in traditional ways as well. Traditional publicity should not be overlooked when promoting an open house. A $5 “Open House” lawn sign is an effective and inexpensive way to attract buyers who are driving through desirable neighborhoods looking for their next homes. While the Internet is a valuable resource to promote your open house, the sheer volume of online listings can make it hard to reach potential

buyers. A traditional lawn sign and a listing in your local newspaper are budget-friendly promotional opportunities that can generate interest in your open house. • Invite your neighbors. Neighbors can be great salesmen for your home and the community where you live. Invite friendly neighbors to your open house and encourage them to chat with prospective buyers. Buyers will appreciate neighbors’ firsthand knowledge about the community, and their friendliness can help to create a strong first impression that increases buyer interest in your home. • Consider some changes to your home decor. When hosting an open house, you might not need to go so far as to stage your home, but you may want to make some changes to the decor to make your home more neutral and appealing to buyers from all walks of life. Remove any potentially controversial artwork or decorative items, replacing them with more neutral items that won’t offend or distract any potential buyers. • Leave the hosting to the professionals. Unless you’re selling the home on your own, resist the temptation to attend your open house. Let your realtor do the work. Your absence can make it easier for potential buyers to see themselves in your home, while your presence may make them uncomfortable or hesitant to explore the property and ask any questions. When hosting an open house, sellers can take several steps to make their homes more appealing to buyers.

statements. You can always call ahead and ask lenders what they need to see when applying for a loan. Having these materials ready in advance means you will spend less time at the bank and more time finding the right home for you. • Secure financing before you begin house hunting. Many first-time home buyers might not realize the benefits of securing financing before they begin looking for a home. Mortgage preapproval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, preapproval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer. • Work with a local real estate agent. Real estate agents are an invaluable resource to home buyers and are especially valuable to those buyers who have never before purchased a home. Agents can help first-time buyers navigate the often confusing and, at times, disappointing process of buying a home. Choose an agent who is established in the area where you want to buy a home. He or she can provide information about local property taxes and schools as well as a multitude of additional issues that first-time buyers may not think of. Agents also know the lay of the land regarding home prices, which can ease first-time buyers’ fears about overpaying for their first homes. A home is the biggest purchase many people will ever make. First-time buyers may be intimidated as they begin searching for their homes, but there are several ways to make the process go smoothly.
