City Hall’s 2016 budget approved: Property taxes to rise 2.5 per cent in the New Year By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston City Hall is turning to taxpayers for a little more money in 2016. After three nights of budget talks, councillors voted unanimously to approve a record-size $348 million operating budget with a builtin property tax hike of 2.5 percent, about an extra $7 a month per household. The staff recommended tax rate includes one percent that’s dedicated for capital improvements to municipal roads, buildings and equipment, plus 1.5 percent to account for inflationary costs. “It’s what we asked staff to do. They obviously listened to us and came back with a 2.5 percent increase. No service cuts have been identified. Can we do better? I think we can,” said Coun. Kevin George. “It’s a reasonable tax increase,” agreed Coun. Adam Candon. While senior staff described the budget as a largely ‘status quo’ document, councillors say their role is more than a rubber stamp body. “A lot of times, there’s the assumption we just come in and stamp it but we’re really working on it over the course of 365 days,” said Coun. Candon. Council pre-set the 2.5 per cent tax target several months ago, which works out to an extra $80 for a house assessed at $282,000. Staff were able to meet the target but it required finding $1.3 million Thousands of families lined Princess Street as they waited for the arrival of Santa while enjoying dozens of colourfully deco- in additional savings.

News – Prison farm supporters have been waiting five years for the cows to come home. Now, it appears they are closer than ever to getting their wish. The 100 year old prison farm at Frontenac Institution was shuttered by the Conservative government of former Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2010. But optimism abounds with the recent election of a Liberal majority government. Newly-elected Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen has promised to make reopening Kingston’s prison farm at Frontenac Institution a top priority. “So it’s going to be my job to make sure that message is heard in Ottawa.” Gerretsen says he plans to set up a meeting with public safety minister Ralph Goodale, who’s now in charge of federal prison, when parliament resumes in December. Mayor Bryan Paterson says he’s had conversations with Gerretsen about the issue. “I think it’s realistic. Certainly Mark (Gerretsen) has indicated that he’s going to put forward a private member’s bill to bring back the prison farms.” City council is also on side. “We need to correct a wrong,” said Coun. Jim Neill. At their Nov. 17 meeting, councillors voted unanimously to support a motion that “reaffirms its commitment to support our prison farms.” The motion also stresses the city will not proceed with any land use zoning changes or secondary plan on the prison farm land – a study to look at future uses for the property – unless agreed to by Corrections Canada or a new property owner.

CFB Kingston could house up to 600 Syrian refugees if necessary By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

R0013564496

News – As news from Ottawa about Canada’s refugee action plan continues to filter in, members of the Canadian Forces Base in Kingston are already doing their part. Last week, nearly 500 personnel were asked to relocate in order to accommodate possible incoming refugee families. “CFB Kingston has been working with other government departments and we are in a planning process right now,” said Captain Jennifer Faubert, Public Affairs at CFB Kingston. “We are developing options for the government of Canada should CFB Kingston be selected to facilitate these refugees.” As part of that planning process, CFB Kingston looked at their capabilities and assessed what they could do to free up bed spaces if necessary. “We looked at that scenario and we asked some personnel to move to a new location on the base so we could facilitate a good place for our [potential] visitors,” she said, adding that CFB Kingston will go along with whatever final decisions are made regarding refugee housing. “The lead agency for all of this is Immigration Canada and what they deem is best for these families and

incoming refugees is what we will support.” The buildings that have been or are being vacated have a number of self-contained units, which include laundry facilities, common areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, making them ideal for families. Families are the main focus for the government in terms of refugees and while news out of Ottawa now states that they would like families to be relocated to communities and not temporary dwellings, CFB Kingston is still working to accommodate possible needs. Faubert has also been receiving numerous phone calls from community members wishing to help should refugee families be sent to the base, prompting her to reach out to other community organizations “I’ve been in contact with the Kingston Immigration Partnership (KIP). They have started a database of volunteers and they are in contact with groups who are accepting donations,” she said. Faubert encourages community members to contact these other groups directly instead of the base if they want to help. “These groups know how all of this works and everyone is combining their expertise at this point. They are all working together and Captain Jennifer Faubert, Public Affairs at CFB Kingston in front of one of the building that could potenthat is great to see.” tially house Syrian refugees.

Kingston puts active transportation in the fast lane By Bill Hutchins

Many councillors who had earlier expressed disappointment over the consultantrecommended transit targets were pleased the mayor took the lead to reflect their concerns. “The consultant’s report is leaving us feeling under-whelmed,” remarked Coun. Peter Stroud. “These amendments are a good step forward … to getting beyond non-aspirational goals,” added Coun. Jim Neill.

Mayor Paterson cautioned that while he supports a much larger investment in public transit, motorists who represent about threequarters of all daily commuters in Kingston should not be forgotten. He says Kingston needs a balanced approach to improving transit while keeping up with the needs of moContinued on page 13

R0013033054

News – Kingston Transit is in the fast lane for even more improvements down the road based on the latest goals of the city’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP). Councillors have made it clear that future transit ridership targets need to be more aggressive than what a report had recommended. A consultant hired by the city to update the TMP said public transit usage should reflect nine per cent of overall commuter trips. However, council decided otherwise, and upped the transit target to a 15 per cent share of commuter trips within the next five years.

In ridership terms, that means Kingston Transit would have to increase its current level of 4.2 million annual passenger trips to 5.6 million annual trips by 2021. “There is a role for us to play in setting more aggressive active transportation targets,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson, who introduced a raft of amendments to the TMP on Nov. 17. The transportation plan, which is updated every five years, serves as a long-term guide for planners and politicians to allocate tax dollars to improve or expand key transportation routes such as roads, sidewalks, pathways, bicycle lanes and transit.

Kingston’s tax-funded marinas face closer budget scrutiny in 2016 By Bill Hutchins

News – The future of three taxsubsidized municipal services could come under closer scrutiny in the New Year. During the 2016 budget talks, staff red-flagged rising costs to subsidize the city-operated marinas at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and Confederation Basin, and Belle Park Fairways. Lanie Hurdle, commissioner of community services, says both marinas are losing money. “This year, with both marinas combined, we’re looking at a tax contribution of just over $200,000. That’s pretty significant considering three years ago we were actually making a small profit from both marinas.” Hurdle informed councillors that her department will be exploring some big changes to both marinas. Confederation Basin, located in

front of City Hall, could be turned into a private operation in order to reduce the financial burden on taxpayers. “We really want to take a closer look at operational possibilities, which could include contracting out. I don’t want to assume that’s what’s going to happen but it’s something we need to look at.” A private marina operator could do a much better job than the city when it comes to marketing the prime marina to recreational boaters and other tourists, she explained. “For example, they would look at packaging with tickets to various events. They may also have more flexibility in rates such as offering discounts, and we don’t have that kind of flexibility.” Officials are also looking to shutter the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour (POH) building during the slow winter months to keep costs down. Hurdle says the 40-year-old

building is under-used for several months of the year, and that’s adding to the operating costs for such things as heat, electricity and staffing. “We will be looking at downsizing the operation in the wintertime, in late fall and early spring as well. That doesn’t mean we won’t have anything going on. I want to make that clear. We know there are events and those things will continue to happen.” Hurdle says the POH building was kept open daily as a client service centre, but that service has since been relocated to 362 Montreal Street. “So now that we don’t have this occupancy during the daytime we need to look at why are we keeping the building open, the lights on and operating, when we don’t necessarily have any usage,” Hurdle explained. Another city-run service that’s

getting closer budget scrutiny is Belle Park Fairways on Montreal Street, which continued to bleed members and revenues in its 40th anniversary year. The nine-hole golf course is on track to lose even more money next year. “I think it’s important for council to be aware of the continued increase in subsidy and decrease in actual number of people who are using the golf course,” said Hurdle. Belle Park Fairways will require a tax-subsidy of $274,000 to stay open next year, up from the current subsidy of $216,000. The golf operation has turned a small profit only once in the past dozen years. Staff recommended closing the money-losing golf course a few years ago, but the former council decided to keep it open and launch a working group to explore money-making opportunities. Despite adopting new operational strategies, Hurdle says the golf course

continues to lose members and revenues. “They have not resulted, obviously, in a positive outcome in terms of increased membership. But until council gives us a different direction we will continue to work with that working group and see what we can do to improve things,” she added. There were only 150 seasonal members in 2015. Coun. Kevin George says tough decisions will have to be made about keeping the only municipalrun golf course going. But he says tax subsidies aren’t the only consideration. “These are some of the hard decisions we have to make. You want to make sure you provide the services for those that can and can’t afford it.” At this point, councillors have made no firm decisions concerning the fate of the marinas or the golf course.

New four-legged member of Kingston Police Force brings comfort to victims hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

News - The newest member of the Kingston Police Force is two years old, has four legs and occasionally falls asleep on the job. “Vern”, a gentle, friendly, yellow lab/golden retriever cross, was donated to the force by National Service Dogs (NSD) and will serve as Ontario’s first Canine-Assisted Intervention (CAI) dog. His job is to comfort those who have witnessed or been victimized by a crime and/ or trauma, and assist them in giving their statement to police or in court preparation. Vern has been with the KPF since Oct. 5 and his handler Melanie Jefferies, a detective constable with the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit, says he’s already made a noticeable difference in the tone of victim questioning sessions. “I just notice people are calmer,” she remarks. “Even for adults, the interview seems to flow a bit better.” The idea is that the victim or witness will sit on a couch and Jefferies will tell Vern to “go visit”. The dog then rests his head in the person’s lap and usually falls asleep as they tell their story. “He lies on their lap and they pet him. The only disruption is he starts to snore sometimes,” she laughs. “And it’s sort of a nice distraction because you’re talking about something so intense and it’s sort of a little break, just long enough, then we go back to talking about the subject again.” Jefferies explains that petting a dog is a cathartic experience, especially for children; it reduces blood pressure and increases the “feel good” hormone oxytocin. “When kids come in and have experienced trauma, their stress sometimes takes over so much that their cognitive functioning – their abilities, their memory, their attention skills – are affected.” In just under two months, she has already witnessed many occasions

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, December 3, 2015 7

Editorial

Do you teach your kids to believe in Santa? Do you think they believe you? Column - To those who grew up celebrating Christmas: did you believe in Santa when you were a kid? I mean really, truly believe? Because I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I did. Maybe when I was a tiny toddler â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as in, not old enough to form any lasting memories. But even then, it seems unlikely. Certainly, I was excited by the mystery of presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;magicallyâ&#x20AC;? appearing under the tree. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite understand how they got there and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. I remember having a sneaking suspicion that the answer might be right under my nose, but unconsciously avoided thinking about the matter too hard, I think, at the risk of figuring it out. I was forced to confront reality at age seven, when my cousin confided in me a discovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tooth fairy is your parents,â&#x20AC;? he whispered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stayed awake one night and saw my mom leave money under my pillow.â&#x20AC;?

I reluctantly put two and two together and my denial ended that at moment. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t devastated or anything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just disappointed. Christmas lost some of its magic for me that day. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking about this a lot lately because this year Summer is at an age where Santa could be pretty huge. We sort of half did it last year with the Elf on the Shelf and it went badly (I wrote about this in another column). This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re skipping the elf but will probably go full in with Santa. Or should we? Some of our friends have decided against teaching their kids to believe in Santa, and present him more as a symbol of the season of giving. I definitely see merit in this choice. In theory, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for the bribery part (i.e. youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better behave or no presents!) but the idea of carrying out an elaborate, prolonged lie and keeping a straight face about it seems to go against Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my natures. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried it a couple of times already: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be a good little girl, Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watchingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and hated the sound of my own voice. Even Summer seemed to get that something was up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay mommy,â&#x20AC;? she said,

half laughing about it. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the Easter Bunny at all this past spring, come to think. Without really talking about it, Steve and I seemed to agree that the idea of a giant, chocolate-bearing bunny who breaks into your house is just too far fetched for our family. Santa, on the other hand, could be slightly more our speed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could being the operative word. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try it out and see how it goes. So far, Summer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem scared of the idea of Santa, which is a start. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not sure if she really buys it. Maybe sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inherited both her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; penchant for evidencebased belief, which certainly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad thing. And if she ends up pretending to believe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or, rather, in denial about her lack of belief, the way I was, perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best of both worlds. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in hearing from other parents of young children out there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do you teach your kids that Santa is real, sort of real, or not real at all? Do you think they really, truly believe, or is it more of a fun, unspoken joke youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in on?

In Our Opinion

Winter tires should be mandatory

As temperatures drop and winter weather conditions inevitably approach, driving can get a little tricky â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is where winter tires come in. Only winter tires are designed to excel in the colder temperatures, slush, snow and ice that we all experience for three or more months a year, but why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all vehicles have them? Many vehicle owners go through the debate each year and are conflicted about whether winter tires are really necessary or if they can get away with all-season tires year round, but according to experts, all-seasons are a bad compromise. On snow, ice or cold pavement, the stopping distance of a car with winter tires can be up to 30 to 40 per cent shorter than one with all-seasons. Winter tires are mandatory in some areas of Canada including Quebec and the mountainous areas of British Colombia, but not in Ontario. We feel that maybe this should change, especially for those frequenting the 401 on a daily basis. Accidents are common on the 401 in any season, but especially in the winter. Last winter there were numerous times when the highway was shut down due to accidents and a reduction in this occurrence would be welcome. In Quebec, after winter tires became mandatory in 2008, a five per cent drop in collision injuries was seen that year. On top of an increased stopping time and a decrease in chance for a collision, the Ontario government recently announced that auto insurance rates would decrease for drivers who buy and install winter tires. Starting Jan. 1, 2016, drivers with winter tires will pay less for auto insurance giving drivers even more incentive. Although winter tires can be costly, especially around the holiday season, a collision could be even more costly. Safety should be a main concern when driving in winter conditions and winter tires are a main part of that.

Letter to the editor

Inmates need skills that can be used in urban work locations, not those learned on a prison farm viewed as lacking.Â I volunteered to work on a dairy farm in hopes of gaining necessary experience and still have the deformed toe given to me by a dairy cow during milking. Eventually I obtained a job piling fertilized bags on pallets in the United Co-Operatives fertilizer plant in Tillsonburg, a plant that eventually closed. I soon realized that agricultureÂ was aÂ difficult businessÂ to break into.Â I could not afford to purchase a farm or equipment and with a family, I could not afford to build sufficient work experience to satisfy agribusinessÂ looking for employees. The lesson I learned was that even though you loved farming, unless you grew up on aÂ family farm, you wereÂ very unlikelyÂ to move into this profession. Twenty seven years later, as Warden at Beaver Creek Institution, I watched with interest, and in silence, the picketing in front of the Frontenac Institution after the Conservative Government closed this farm complex. In the three decades since picking up inmates and milk at Frontenac Institution I noticed a number of things. First, very few of the thousands of inmates I have dealt with have been farmers. Farming is a very wholesome profession. Some inmates I knew, no doubt grew up on subsistence farms and movedÂ to the city as youth. There is little opportunity on small mixedÂ farms for multiple sons to have a career in agriculture.Â A few men have been employed as farm hands before incarceration, but I can not recall one

inmate whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career aspiration was to return to operation of a family farm or start farming and especially not the exceedingly expensive profession of dairy farming upon release from prison.Â What inmates benefited from and enjoyed

R0013560704

This morning I woke to read another article about the desire to restore the Frontenac Prison Farm. This issue has renewed a pastÂ frustration, so I thought IÂ would share a couple of thoughts now that I am not obliged to silence by my employer. As a Correctional Officer I enjoyed my trips to the Frontenac Prison Farm thirty plus years ago to pick up minimum security inmates and milk and eggs as well as farm vegetables, which were grown at Pittsburg Institution. After loading the food items, inmate effects andÂ three or four inmates into the large crew cab truck one officer would head down the Highway 401 and stop at McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Whitby where inmates stood starry eyed before the counter as we ordered them a meal. Back then, many had never seen a MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sÂ and had no ideaÂ what or howÂ to order food.Â From Whitby we headed north to Beaver CreekÂ Minimum Security Institution where the men were housed and employed until they were granted Day Parole, Full Parole or wereÂ released on Statutory Release. I have enjoyed Corrections, but I had really wanted to be a farmer. I worked on a relativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tobacco farm in Tillsonburg during my youth and went to the University of Guelph to get a B.Sc in Agriculture (Animal Science) hoping to become a farmer and enjoy what I saw as a great lifestyle. Upon graduation I sought employment in agribusiness but soon found that since I had not been raisedÂ on a farm, my experience, not my education was

Creek Inmates have grown personal gardens for their own consumption, but also tended a huge communal garden were they grew tons of produce that they donated to the local food bank in Muskoka. Inmates also enjoyed caring for stray cats, squirrels, chipmunks, bird and any other animal that walked into the un-fenced minimum security prison. Caring for small, homeless and injured animals seemed like a positive learning experience were inmates could develop responsibility and skills which could be used when they where released and perhaps had their own pet to care for. In the past many staff just turned a blind eye to the animals. One of our psychologists wanted to develop a dog therapy program in the prison. The plan was for inmates to work with the Humane Society and care for abandon dogs. They would feed the dogs, clean their kennels, care for and train these animals. Bringing animals on the prison grounds, however, was rejected given senior managements concerns over poor Union relations and objections on Health and Safety grounds. A parallel strategy was considered in the community for cooperation with local Animal Wildlife Center to help inmates care for animals, but neither project developed very far. The practical point of this is that inmates enjoy growing vegetables and flowers as a hobby and enjoy caring for animals as pets. Caring for a pet dog or cat, or enjoying the hobby of growing a vegetable garden, are much more likely to be activities that an inmate will occupy himself with as opposed to tending a dairy cow on release.

Lastly, I would say that all minimum security inmates in facilities such as Frontenac, Pittsburgh and Beaver Creek are assessed as being a low Escape Risk - a low public safety risk should they escape, but also a low Institutional adjustment concern. This latter assessment means that they should have learned the social skills to get along with inmates and staff in prison. What minimum security inmates need is not enhancement of skills in dealing with animals; they need to work on the attitudes, skills and disciplines to work at job in the community and to interact with members of the public in a positive manner. Work Release programs where minimum security inmates do volunteer work such as fabrication, repairing, construction and yard work alongside volunteers and work supervisors at non profit organizations would be a better use of Correctional resources. Work Releases inmates repair youth camps in the off seasons and do building with Habitat for Humanity are skills that they need. Correctional Services, with limited resources needs to enhance these men’s skills that can be used in urban work locations as opposed to animal husbandry skills designed for rural dairy operations, where few men will ever be employed. I would love to go back 30 years, but it is not possible. Nor do I believe it is possible to reestablish an environmentally friendly, economically sustainable dairy operation which teaches men the skills they need for today’s jobs.

Kingston puts active transportation in the fast lane Continued from page 5

torists. “We still need to invest in roads – the third crossing, parking garages and maybe the Wellington Street extension.” Paterson says his amendments should appease those who want the city to invest more public money in transit, cycling and walking as a means of commuting while bolstering Kingston’s claim to being Canada’s most sustainable city. “They set a more aggressive policy targets but are grounded in reality.” A handful of speakers urged council to put active transportation in the fast lane. “There’s too much emphasis on trying to solve the problems of the motorist,” observed Queen’s Prof. Preston Schiller, a noted expert in environmental sustainability. Fellow Queen’s Prof. Warren Mabee also spoke about the need to “nibble away” at carbon emissions. He says the average family of four would have to reduce their car kilometres by 2,000 to 6,000 a year in order to meet current climate change targets. “We need to be more aggressive with our transit rides.” The new challenge facing council is how to afford a bigger investment in transit. The city has already pumped millions of dollars into the bus service to add express routes, install new shelters and hire more drivers. Attracting

another 1.4 million annual bus riders could add millions of dollars to the budget for extra buses and new services such as rider apps to track bus locations. Kingston Transit currently receives 40 per cent of its funding through cash fares and advertising revenues, while the other 60 per cent is subsidized by taxpayers whether they use the bus or not. “At what point do we reach saturation in ridership?” wondered Coun. Ryan Boehme. He supported the mayor’s “ambitious” transit targets, but wondered if it will create hardships for commuters who can’t use transit. “We can’t provide buses for everybody.” Countryside councillor Richard Allen, who represents the city’s large rural and mostly transit-free district, says boosting bus service will ultimately benefit automobile users. “It frees up capacity for those who need to use the roads.” Council voted unanimously to adopt the mayor’s transit amendments, but deferred final approval of TMP until its next meeting Dec. 3. Consulting firm AECOM currently estimates it will cost $740 million to implement the long-term transportation goals. That figure includes $96 million for active transportation, $85 million for public transit and $500 million on roads. However, those figures would have to be adjusted based on council’s proposed transit enhancements.

Community invited to come “Light Up the Night” this Hanukkah hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

Events - For nine years now, the Kingston Jewish Council has invited the entire community to come out and join in the celebration of Hanukkah with a special event called Light Up the Night. “We used to do it before just for the Jewish community itself but nine years ago we started doing it for the Kingston community at large, basically just to share our celebration with everybody,” explains KJC member Leonard Harris. “It’s grown bigger and the response is generally pretty good.” This year, Light Up the Night will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 9, on the fourth night of the eight-day holiday. Everyone will gather at Confederation Park at 5:30 p.m., where a sing-a-long will be held and Harris will light five candles on a large menorah –

one for each day of the holiday so far, plus the “shamash”, the servant candle that does the lighting. “We use oil lamps, and for me it’s always a bit of a joke because sometimes it’s a little windy and lighting those oil lamps and having the wick stay lit is a struggle,” he laughs. “So we’ll see if I’m able to light five of them and keep them going.” Hanukkah commemorates the re-dedication of the holy Temple in Jerusalem following the Jewish victory over the SyrianGreeks in 165 B.C.E. Jewish troops wanted to purify the Temple by burning ritual oil in the Temple’s menorah for eight days, but they discovered there was only one day’s worth of oil left. They lit the menorah anyway and the miracle is that the small amount of oil lasted the full eight days, hence the length of the holiday today and the symbol of the menorah. Over the centuries, many fun traditions

have developed in relation to Hanukkah including types of food and games, many which community members can enjoy at Light Up the Night. Following the menorah lighting and sing-a-long, the celebration will move across the street to Memorial Hall for food, games and traditional Israeli dancing led by experienced dance educator Jackie Mills.

“She has been doing Jewish/Israeli dance for years and years, so she’s going to lead whoever wants to participate in very simple Jewish dances,” says Harris. “They’re all circle dances so everybody can join in – kids, grown ups, seniors.” Traditional Hanukkah is fried, as a nod to the significance of oil to the story, so expect lots of yummy latkes and kugel, along with a variety of other choices like salads and fruit. The event is very kid friendly, with lots of Hanukkah-themed crafts and dreidle games. “It’s all kind of unstructured,” Harris explains. “The kids run around Memorial Hall. It’s always a lot of fun.” He encourages everyone to come out and join in the celebration: “Hanukkah is a lovely holiday. It’s a holiday of hope and freedom and light, religious freedom and tolerance. At this time of year, we can always use a bit of uplifting holiday. It’s also a family holiday with lots of rituals that are fun and kid-focused.” R0013567168

role. So did falling gas prices. The city spends about $5 million at the pumps every year, but was able to save $900,000 in 2015 due to lower prices on gasoline and diesel fuel for its large fleet of transit buses, plows and other service vehicles. The city expects to save another $480,000 if fuel prices stay low in 2016. “On average we’re budgeting somewhere around $1.04 a litre,” said city treasurer Desiree Kennedy. The $348 million budget, about $8.3 million higher than the current year, includes some enhancements to departments such as public works. The city will hire three additional snow plow drivers in 2016, and plans to add three more staff in 2017, to improve snow clearing response times on roads and sidewalks. The budget also includes new spending on cultural programs, affordable housing and open government initiatives. Other high-profile departments such as police and fire were allowed modest spending increases of around two percent in 2016, but no additional staff. KEDCO, the city’s economic development agency which is currently undergoing an organizational review, came in with a budget request that’s three percent lower, saving the city about $90,000, partly due to the recent departure of its CEO. While councillors are generally pleased with the outcome of the budget talks, many also express unease about lower-than-expected assessment growth. The city expects to add another $1 million to the tax base in 2016, which is about $500,000 less than in previous years. Kennedy says several large-scale residential projects have been approved but construction hasn’t started because the projects are tied up in appeals with the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). “We know they’re out there. And there are plans to build. It’s just a slow down of when it’s going to happen.”

Coun. Candon says it’s frustrating that future growth is tied up in appeals by various groups or individuals. “It seems like the fashionable thing to do – to take everybody to the OMB, which is kind of unfortunate because the city misses out.” One multi-residential project currently tied up in appeals is the so-called twin tower 10-storey apartment buildings near Princess and Division Streets. Coun. George, who chaired a mayor’s task force on development a few years ago, is also frustrated that Kingston isn’t attracting more commercial and residential assessment growth to ease the burden on current taxpayers. He says Kingston has trouble shaking an old reputation. “I still hear from other areas when I travel that Kingston is still a difficult place to develop in. That wasn’t the message we wanted to send out but unfortunately it’s still out there.” One third of the operating budget, about $114 million, is to cover salaries and benefits among the city’s 1,500 member workforce. Another $67 million will be transferred to external agencies such as police, public library, public health and the conservation authority. Councillors also endorsed a $67 million capital budget to be spent on roads, bridges, buildings and equipment purchases. Capital projects slated for 2016 include; -$16.1 million to expand the main runway and passenger terminal at Norman Rogers Airport, -$11.3 million to renovate the Johnson Street Central Kingston library branch, -$4.3 million to repair the downtown’s multi-level parking garages, -$3.6 million to extend the K&P Trail into the downtown, -$3 million to make the third bridge crossing ‘shovel ready.’ Councillors must still finalize the budget bylaws, expected Dec. 15, with a tax hike that’s identical to what was set in 2015.

Kingstonians discuss what culture means to them mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – What does culture mean to you? That was the question put forth to more than 100 Kingstonians on Nov. 25 at the Tett Centre. The event, one of 11 happening across the province, was part of the Ontario government’s Culture Talks series. The series aims to gain insight into what culture means to Ontarians and how the government can improve its approaches to culture. Members of the Kingston community were happy to provide their thoughts, including MPP for Kingston and the Islands Sophie Kiwala. “I am so proud that this is happening in our community,” said Kiwala. “Culture envelops many different areas of our lives – whether it is food or architecture or dance, music, or theatres – all of these things contribute to how much we enjoy our lives and I hope that we have an opportunity to really draw that out of each of the participants that are here.” The evening started with brief introductions and short videos before moving into an informal discussion with local author and editor Merilyn Simonds, Prince Edward County Chef Jamie Kennedy and moderator Jane Farrow. The discussion focused on what it means to be an artist and what impact culture can have on artists and their

community. “I believe that we are all involved with culture,” said Kennedy following the discussion. “We go to work everyday and we don’t really think about it, but then we have opportunities like this to really speak about what we do and we realize that it does have resonance to culture and we do contribute.” Throughout the discussion, Kennedy drew links between culture and agriculture and focused on a need to connect the two. “I feel like a lot of my role as someone involved in the local food movement is to educate people,” he said. “We need to be conscious of what we are eating and we need to be aware of the culture it creates too.” Simonds, having worked in the Kingston community with WritersFest and now as a teacher and writer, has seen the impact of culture first hand. Now, she hopes that those impacts can be echoed to the government and proper steps can be taken to recognize artists more. “I am thinking about culture all the time in terms of the government and at the grass roots level too,” she said. “There are so many things that can be done to support culture and the arts. This is part of it and it is really getting people to think about what they value in terms of culture and what it means to them. It is a conversation

All of the ideas and discussion topics will then be compiled with the ideas from other Culture Talks. Information from all 11 Culture Talks will then be combined into a report coming out in 2016 that will help the government move towards creating Ontario’s Culture Strategy. Kiwala is looking forward to seeing the results and she hopes that a lot of positives come out of

Why people need to stop feeding deer, according to Friends of Lemoine Point By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Few things are more picturesque than a deer in the snowy, winter woods feeding on twigs and grass, but for the Friends of Lemoine Point this image is not so welcome. “One of the major problems we have had over the years have been deer,” explained John Diemer, president of the Friends of Lemoine Point community group. “They eat a lot of the stock that we plant and that is a continuous struggle for us. And now we find that there are just more than the area can handle.” The Friends of Lemoine Point is a local community-based group of volunteers that helps to conserve and enhance Lemoine Point Conservation Area. Their goal is to undertake programs and activities to enhance the natural

environment, promote public awareness and enjoyment and advise and work with the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) on the development of Lemoine Point. “We have been looking, with the CRCA, at the issues with the deer over the years and we have learned that one of the reasons there are so many deer is that people are feeding them and feeding them a lot,” said Diemer. “It is a big problem. We are trying to educate people and really encourage them to stop feeding the deer.” According to Diemer, contrary to what many people think, feeding them is actually bad for the deer themselves. After a deer has built up its fat reserves in summer and fall, its metabolism drops, so that it needs less food in the winter. “They can survive on those fat reserves and

twigs, tree buds etc.,” he explained. “But that natural drop in metabolism is disrupted and prevented by people feeding it, which results in it having higher than normal energy needs and requiring more food, thus actually making winter survival more difficult.” Diemer, along with the rest of the Friends of Lemoine Point group, learned all of this at their annual general meeting this year and now they are working on educating the rest of the community. “We are putting up signs with the help of the CRCA and we are looking at more ways to enforce this point,” he said. “We are doing our best to talk to people and try to discourage them from feeding the deer and really educate them about the issue. It is an uphill struggle

because these people mean to do well and they feel that they are helping the deer. It is difficult.” Diemer hopes that word of mouth and signage will do the trick and that the deer and the Point can co-exist the way they are supposed to in the future. “The Point’s deer simply do not need our help by feeding them,” he said. “Winter’s deep snow and frigid temperatures may trigger our concern for them, but in fact they are adapted to cope well on their own.” For more information about the Friends of Lemoine Point visit http://crca.ca/conservation-lands/conservation-areas/lemoinepoint-conservation-area/friends-of-lemoinepoint/

Hair stylists face off in Kingston By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – As an experienced hairstylist, Gustavo Rosas is constantly travelling for hair competitions, but for new hairstylists this can be challenging – that is why Rosas decided to bring the competition to them. On Nov. 23, local hairstylist Gustavo Rosas hosted a photo shoot at TG. co Hair Studio on Gardiner’s Road as part of the Sebastian What’s Next Awards (WNA) competition and he hopes this is the first of many opportunities to come to Kingston. “We came up with the idea to host because my sister and I do these competitions and photo shoots, but we always have to travel to them,” said Rosas. “We have a lot of students in the area and many of them want to compete, but they can’t travel. We decided to close the salon for a day and invite anyone who wanted to compete to come over.” The competition asks students to use their skills to create an editorial style hair look, have a photo taken and then submit it for judging. Entry into the competition is free and the winners across North America will get a chance to compete against each other in Miami in Feb. 2016. “The competition is really to inspire

artists from juniors to students and affiliated artists,” explained Nick Georgaras, field educator and trainer for Wella Canada. “We had nine students that came out to compete today and we all had a great time. It is a friendly competition really.” Jaimie Keyes was one of those students and while this was her first time doing anything like this, she looks forward to doing more competitions in the future. “I love doing the editorial hair and I love making it edgy and daring,” she said. “It is a great chance to show how artistic you can be. I’m around people all the time who are competing in every competition they can and I wanted to be part of that too.” Keyes is a student at the Academy of Hair and she also works at TG. co Hair Studio with Rosas. “It is great to see these new hairstylists have an opportunity like this,” he said. “Sometimes when you are in a small city like Kingston you get isolated and you don’t get a taste for big competitions like this and I really wanted to bring that here. It really puts Kingston on the map and hopefully it will allow for more things like this to happen here.” Students from the hairstyling programs at QECVI and St. Lawrence also joined in the competition for the

were all invited to come out and take part,” said Rosas. “We wanted to be inclusive and we don’t see them as competition, we really just want to create a community for hairstylists.”

Nutcracker donation brings Christmas magic to the Grand

Richard Johnson recently became a real life Nutcracker Prince, donating 200 nutcrackers to Kingston’s Grand Theatre. In the past, living in a large home outside Nashville, Tennessee, it was easy for him to put up huge Christmas displays inside and outside the house. “I love Christmas,” he said, from his current home in Florida. “I love decorating and everything to do with Christmas celebrations.

We always put up at least two Christmas trees and had 800 feet of Christmas lights along our 750-foot driveway in our little rural area just outside Nashville.” Johnson is especially fond of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet, which is one of his favorite traditions of the Christmas season. “I love classical music and Tchaikovsky,” he said. “We’d see it in all the cities we visited. We started when the girls were young and saw the Nutcracker in every big city production we could.” Johnson was born in Montreal but would often visit the USA, and had always wanted to live there. His wife’s a nurse, which made it easy to work in either country. About 25 years ago, they made the move to the States. “It took about 50 years before I got to live here, but we finally did it,” he said.

Last year, Johnson and his wife sold their Nashville home. Before moving to Florida, they came for an extended visit to Kingston, where one of their daughters lives. “We had to downsize,” he said. “We stayed [in Kingston] for a few months, then we had to downsize again.” Johnson ended up donating his collection of Nutcrackers to The Grand Theatre in Kingston. “I remember one of the last Nashville Ballet Nutcracker performances we attended. The foyer of the concert hall had all kinds of decorations.” Johnson explained that what was most thrilling From left, Holly Crowso was seeing the many of Th e Street Ballerin n, Emma Chen, and Baylie Karp children from dance Del as Performance erien, ta Waterfront H Art schools who attendot el with some of Project, pose in the th at Richard Johnso the 200 nutcra ed The Nutcracker. n donated to Ki ckers ngston’s Grand “It was quite All 200 nutcrackers will be Th ea tre. ex hi bited through D exciting to see all cluding during the Mosco ecember, inw Ba lle t cr pe acker ballet.

Enchanté December 12 this year. The nutcracker we know and identify with Christmas has been around since the 15th century. Although primarily serving as beautiful decorations today, the devices were originally functional and used to crack nuts. Nutcrackers represent the cycle of life. Carved from wood, the tool cracked the nuts, which themselves not only came from trees, but carried the seeds of future trees. Although nutcrackers would later be made from many materials like silver, brass and porcelain, it is the wooden nutcracker that first captured hearts and imaginations. By the mid to late 19th century, nutcrackers came to life in commercial factories. The early nutcrackers crafted in Germany were considered to bring good luck and served as protectors and guardians to those whole lived in the home. The world’s most artistic and intricate nutcrackers still come from Germany. The decoration inspired Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet, in which a nutcracker magically transforms into a real prince and takes a young girl through a fantastic series of adventures on Christmas Eve. One of the earliest stories involv-

ing nutcrackers, The Nutcracker City in 1955. In that first producand the Mouse King, written by tion, Balanchine played the role of E.T.A. Hoffman in 1816, increased the popularity of the nutcracker dolls. But it was Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s ballet, The Nutcracker, which premiered in 1892, that, more than half a century later, would skyrocket the doll’s popularity. For a few decades, the ballet remained somewhat isolated to Europe. A North American production premiered in San Emma Chen, Aria Wilton, and Holly Crowson, of Francisco in The Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project, pose 1944. The San in the Delta Waterfront Hotel with some of the 200 Francisco Ballet still performs nutcrackers that Richard Johnson donated to Kingsit each year at ton’s Grand Theatre. All 200 nutcrackers will be exhibited through December, including during the Christmas. It was Rus- Moscow Ballet performances of The Nutcracker balsian-born George let.

gifts, including the nutcracker, to children. Balanchine created what we know as modern ballet. Nowadays, you’ll find ballet schools throughout Canada and the United States, with much of the credit going to Balanchine, who, in his career, choreographed about 400 works, as well as founded the School of American Ballet in New York. After working with the Ballet Society in New York, Balanchine, along with Lincoln Kirsent, was asked to establish a resident company, which in 1948 became the New York City Ballet. Balanchine served as director until 1989. Since 1955, the New York City Ballet company has presented an annual lavish and stunning production of the Nutcracker. The company admits that The Nutcrackers is one of the most complex theatrical staged ballets in its repertory. Sumptuous costumes, lavish sets and spectacular feats of dance typify the entire performance. On December 12, the Moscow Ballet will perform their adaptation of the classic ballet in Kingston. For 40 years, the company has toured the world. This will be its first visit to Kingston. Tick-

ets for the Moscow Ballet’s Nutcracker are available for shows at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Grand Theatre box office or online at kingstongrand.ca. During this inaugural year of the Grand Theatre’s 200-Nutcracker exhibit, there will be a special treat for those attending the Moscow Ballet performances at Kingston’s Grand Theatre. Children will be able to meet dancers from the Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project. The dancers, in their ballet outfits, including tutus, will be posing around the Nutcracker display before performances and during intermissions. If any boy or girl has ever wanted to have a photo taken with a ballerina, this is an opportunity. You can also ask the ballerinas any questions you may have about life as a dancer. “We’re happy to have placed the nutcrackers somewhere like The Grand Theatre rather than them just being stored in boxes,” said Richard Johnson. They’re already being put to good use. Johnson’s donation will bring joy to many children (and adults) for years to come. Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin

The Regiopolis-Notre Dame annual theatrical performances always set the bar high with their professional style productions. This year, Regi’s drama and music departments are bringing a beloved classic, Mary Poppins, to a Kingston stage for the first time. Mary Poppins is one of the toughest shows to launch. For a start, it’s more complex than many musicals, and it has to be handled carefully. Without the proper combination of directing, choreography and music this show would be chaos. The stage version of Mary Poppins is darker than in tone than the film. In the theatrical production, you’ll also find a greater sense of transformation. The most significant metamorphosis you’ll experience on stage is that of Mr. Bank, who goes from rigid follower of rules to a man who puts his family first. The children, Jane and Michael Banks, were, admittedly, a little twee in the movie. Not so on stage, where they are sassy brats in the early scenes. The children in the story are so obnoxious that their nanny, Katie Nana (played by Holly Crowson), quits her employment with the Banks Family. Along comes Mary Poppins, a

new nanny, who exists on the far side of mysterious. The Mary Poppins musical you’ll witness at Regi will demonstrate why the school has such a stellar reputation for its theatrical productions. This will be far above the average high school or community theatre offerings. Several months ago, when I heard the announcement that Regi was doing Mary Poppins, I had two thoughts. The first was excitement; this is a spectacular show. The second was wondering if Steve Powell, the head of Regi’s Drama Department, and Hugh Johnston, head of the music department, were crazy. Not only were they taking on a brilliant but difficult to produce musical, they were also in the position of giving the show it’s Kingston premiere. Powell agreed with my assessment of “crazy.” “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, without question,” he said. “Having Sue Del-Mei for choreography has helped immensely. When you think about it, she’s done half the show. Dance is such a huge part of this. Her work has allowed me to do other things. Plus, I have a student teacher, Will Cunningham, who has taken on a couple of the scenes. He’s done a lot of acting coaching.” But no matter how much help there is, this remains a technically difficult show. A director has to determine how to create magic on the stage.

“I saw the show in New York, and it was a lot better than the movie,” said Powell. “I was blown away. The script takes us through a lovely and charming story with deep messages. It’s a big challenge. We’ve always tried to challenge ourselves as a production team.” He stops and takes a deep breath in and out. Shakes his head. “We’ve certainly done that here. When you take on something like this, it helps the team, the actors, the crews, learn and develop their skills.” Holly Crowson, a triple threat actor (actor, singer, dancer), who plays the roles of Katie Nana and Valentine, is using all of her skills in this show. “My main role as Valentine is a lot of fun because it was up to me to create this crazy doll character,” she said. “They gave me a lot of room to insert my own eccentricities with the doll.” She explained that Valentine is a doll who comes to life and is upset with Jane and Michael Banks, because they are always fighting. “I get to take my revenge on the kids, which is a lot of fun,” she said. “In both roles, Katie Nana and Valentine, the audience sees the attitude of the kids who boss me around. At the beginning, they are not treating Nana or their toys very well.” Holly saw Mary Poppins on Broadway and loves that it is

coming to life in Kingston for the first time. “There’s a lot more complicated dance in Mary Poppins than there was in Pirates [of Penzance] last year,” she said. “It’s great, because it’s challenging for dancers , but it’s attainable for people who aren’t dancers. The fact that everyone is together performing in all these dance numbers will be really powerful during the show.” Kathryn Johnston, well known to local audiences for past leading roles in such shows as Anne Anne of Green Gables, Pirates of Penzance, and Guys and Dolls, plays Mary Poppins. “Mary Poppins is a very difficult role,” she said. “It’s really fun, but also tricky. I want to make her likable. It’s hard to justify some of her lines and still like her, and that’s the challenge, to make her a little bit mysterious but also enticing. There’s something about her that makes her appealing; the challenge is to bring that out.” She admits that this role has greater depth than some others she’s played. She’s up for the challenge of presenting Mary Poppins to Kingston audiences. “It’s the first time it’s being done and it’s exciting that it’s by a high school,” she said. “It offers a really fresh perspective. There’s a different level of energy this year. We have a

The magic of Mary Poppins comes to Kingston school in England and was surprised by the lack of structure. “It was like, wow, I have to set my own time, decide when to take meals, nothing was set anymore. Then coming [to Regi] from an English high school, it was even less structured. In England, I wasn’t allowed out of school to go to shops or anything. Then coming here, everything was more free. It’s has given me an experience to understand people better. It was very difficult to adapt from a private school to a regular school and then from a regular English school to a regular Canadian school.” In other words, he’ll be brining an understanding of the complexities of transition to his character. “Mr. Banks is a very complex character and it took a while to really understand him. There are many more levels to him than appear at first. The play follows his character

It’s going to be a really fun show, and there are also lots of good life lessons you can take away.” Musical director Hugh Johnston said it was a tough call to take on a production like Mary Poppins. “We decided to go for it and go big,” he said. “It’s one of the most complex shows and has to appear very simple.

News – Kaitlyn Rankin may be just 13 years old, but she has already experienced the effects of cancer. “We’ve been hit pretty hard with cancer recently in our family and it has been hard to deal with,” said Rankin, a Grade 8 student in the Limestone Education Arts Program (LEAP) at Calvin Park. Recently a close family friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer and another family member was diagnosed with breast cancer. Rankin was upset by the news, but she also wanted to do something to help so she decided to raise money to cut her hair for cancer. “Originally I thought about cutting off my hair. I thought that if I could raise $250 I would do it,” she said. “But I reached that amount in about two days so I decided to do more.” She came up with the idea of selling some of her paintings online, but the more she thought about it the more she wanted to do something bigger. “I came up with the idea of a gallery walk instead so people could actually see the art in person and see what they are like,” she said. “My mom thought it was a good idea too so we started planning.” Soon, The Travelodge Hotel was on board with the idea and generously donated the Frontenac Room for the show; Rankin continued to paint more and more pieces to auction off. “I have about 20 paintings ready

to go now,” said Rankin. “I love painting. I love expressing myself in different ways. I find it interesting that people express themselves through dance or music and this is my way of doing that and I am happy to share that with people.” Though she has already raised $450 for her cause, Rankin hoped to raise about $800 in total through the sale of her paintings and cutting her hair. She was nervous about the actual cut, but she was also happy to be doing it for a good cause. “The minimum length is eight inches so it will be really short, but it’s worth it,” she said. “My friends

Frontenac Islands Council rides the roads Heritage news-Only one island citizen took up the invitation to participate in Frontenac Islands Wolfe Island Ward tour of the municipal facilities and road network on Wolfe and Simcoe Islands. The tour included areas of concern with work to be done, or to be completed, or planned for the future. It was not a walking tour and a school bus was on hand for each stop along the way. (A similar tour of Howe Island’s municipal facilities and road network was held Nov. 19th.) Frontenac Islands Public Works Manager

(PWM) Rob Dillabough set up the comprehensive agenda and conducted the tour attended on Wolfe Island by Mayor Doyle, Councillors Barbara Springgay and Wayne Grant, CAO Darlene Plumley, Deputy Clerk Carol Dwyre, and, from Howe Island Councillor Bruce Higgs. PWM Dillabough provided listings of all places on Wolfe Island that needed to be looked at, what needed to done and a time frame for doing it, some in a 5 year (2016-2020) period, many in 2016. This includes a 5-10 year plan for the Nine Mile Point Road with culverts and rebuild. Listed for replacement in 2016 are sidewalks, guiderails- new and replacement,

signage, road construction, and surface rehabilitation. Included in the listing were those things that had been done since his arrival , signs, guide rails etc. A complete list will be brought forward during 2016 budget deliberations. Dillabough ‘s intent is to provide council with a detailed work plan of what needs to be done, what needs to be changed. (A similar list was prepared for Howe Island tour) During the Wolfe/Simcoe Islands tour of every road Dillabough pointed out many things requiring rehabilitation, identified areas such as a large sink hole on the 8th Line road used for drainage, the lack of road ditching, tree/brush cutting requirements, need for more signage, etc. and Simcoe Island ferry road- dock needs, all important as liability issues . He offered insight into such things as snow ploughing methods for safety and to lessen road damage, and including lowering speed and adjusting depths to protect the equipment. It was a thorough review with clearly identified requirements, which he linked to the Frontenac Islands Asset Management Review process done a few years ago. That process identified Frontenac Islands facilities and road assets (Howe, Wolfe, Simcoe) and what has to be done to keep them up to standard, maintain and/ or replace over the next 5-10 years. 2. Land Fill Site Then… Recycling Transfer Station Now: “And the green grass grows all around, all around. And the green grass grows all around.” It is amazing to see the broad expanse of green grass that has covered what was until recently an enormous hole filled day by day with the community’s garbage (and hopefully not with recyclables). Once upon a time a gravel pit now it is a hole no more. From a distance it looks instead like a miniature golf area. That’s not to say the Transfer Station is pretty. The much-in-need-of paint-containers are rather dismal although on occasion when one is full and trucked away, a newly painted one replaces it making the place look brighter for awhile. The place is so tidy, nothing out of order. Accessing the recycling bins becomes easier with each relocation change made. Residents continue to donate their bottles for the benefit of community organizations. Many more people are bringing

in materials for composting. At this time Mae has Christmas Decorations and lights on her office door and at the gate, and always a smile to greet us. Come spring we will probably see flowers planted, and maybe? even a stall erected for perfectly good give aways, along with special days at the site. Special thanks to Mae and the Land Fill Site Committee for their ongoing effort to make it all work.

News – Firefighters in Loyalist Township will now be able to work an extra five years thanks to a recent emergency services proposal to council. At the Nov. 23 meeting, council received a report requesting that firefighters be allowed to work past the recommended retirement age of 60. The proposal, submitted by Deputy Fire Chief Fred Stephenson, asks that senior personnel be allowed to remain in the department with a condition that they are not allowed to perform structural firefighting or wear a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The report also went on to state that increasing the age of retirement “allows the Township to retain personnel with a vast amount of knowledge and skills for up to five additional years.” Council voted and approved the new job recommendation. ***

noise level that would be put out during the summer would affect the local hotel and will affect most of the village of Odessa,” he explained. “To let them just have cart blanche seems unreasonable. As they get closer to the actual work I’d like them to come in and apply for the grant of approval and give us a more specific time frame.” The motion carried with Councillor Danilunas adding that community feedback would also be welcomed on this issue. *** The meeting ended with Mayor Bill Lowry speaking about a recent meeting with new MP for the area Mike Bossio. “We introduced him to ourselves and gave him an orientation to show what we are all about at a municipal level and a county level. It was very positive,” he said. “There is a lot of energy there and there is a lot of interest there. I think it was time well spent and we look forward to more meetings.”

At the meeting, Deputy Mayor Ric Bresse also presented a motion regarding the revised Windlectric Power Community Benefit and Road Use Agreements that were originally presented on Nov. 18. Bresee moved that the reports be received and that council rise and report to authorize the execution of both agreements with Windlectric/Algonquin Power and that these be moved into open session for consideration at the Dec. 14 council meeting. Motion carried.

Herman’s pattern of euchre play remained steady There was nothing old Herman liked more than a good game of euchre. By the time November rolled around, and winter was about to set in, the Saturday night house parties were in full swing. Old Herman couldn’t be happier.

How people knew where the party was being held, remains a mystery to me to this day. My sister Audrey said Myrtle at Central, not only picked the farm, but would call everyone on the line to invite them, sometimes forgetting to tell the hosting farmer all about it. At any rate, by this time of year, just about every Saturday night, there was a house party at Northcote, and old Herman was usually the first one to arrive. It was expected that everyone would chip in to supply the lunch, which never varied. Eleven quart

baskets of sandwiches, a jar or two of homemade pickles, and of course, big slab cakes. The farm where the party was being held, of course, would have giant pots of tea simmering on the back of the cook stove by the time the neighbours started to arrive. Old Herman never brought as much as a pickle. Of course, being a bachelor, he wasn’t much of a cook anyway, and according to my sister Audrey, he wasn’t the cleanest man on the planet either. So it was probably a blessing he only came for the cards and lunch, and let everyone else worry about the food. He arrived in his old battered buggy, or a oneseater cutter, depending on the weather, and his nag of a horse, wasn’t in much better shape either. He drove her right up to the back door, tossed the reins over whatever happened to be handy, and the horse never moved as much of

a muscle all the time Old Herman was in the house playing cards. For some reason, he was pretty lucky at euchre. Emerson said he wasn’t above cheating a bit if necessary, but no one could catch him at it. Of course, no money changed hands. If that had been the case, someone would no doubt have kept a closer eye on old Herman. And how he loved to pound the table. Especially if he euchred someone! He’d bring down his gnarled hand and slap the oil-cloth covered table, and you could hear the kitchen window rattling. Now, if he was euchred himself, that was a different story. He would get up from the table, glare down at his losing hand, snort a bit, wipe his nose on the cuff of his ragged shirt, and head for the back door. There was always someone else ready to take his place, and this routine was so commonplace that the card game never missed a beat. But when he came back in, he seemed to change a bit. And each time he left the game, went out, and came back in, the change was more noticeable. His voice got louder, the pounding got heavier, and by the time

the evening was coming to a close, old Herman’s eyes were glazed over, and on more than one occasion he missed the chair and landed splat on the floor. This routine was so common, that no one paid the least bit of attention. And it didn’t matter how under the weather old Herman became, he always managed to tuck away a good portion of the lunch. When it was time for everyone to head home, old Herman would loiter around long enough knowing that he would be taking home a good pile of sandwiches and a piece of the slab cake. The evening wasn’t over until two or three of the men would help old Herman out to the cutter, or the buggy, pile him in, toss the reins onto his lap, and turn the horse in the general direction of the gate. It would be years before I would learn that old Herman kept a bottle of home-brew under the seat and every time he left the house during a card game, it was to take a swig out of it, and as Father would say, “fortify himself for the rest of the evening.” It always amazed me how that old nag of a horse, with Old Herman snoring before it left our yard, would know exactly where home was. Father said the night air would waken the old man enough that he would tumble out of the buggy or cutter and into his hut of a house, saving himself from freezing to death in his own back yard. Because he never came to a bad end, and was always the first to arrive at the next Saturday night house party! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Andrew Mack Band releases second album focused on love, loss and land Events - Andrew Mack grew up in a musical family in Wilton, Ontario. He started playing guitar when he was just nine years old and started writing music when he was a teenager and now he is celebrating the release of his second full-length album. “I am a guitar playing, harmonicaplaying singer and songwriter and I just love making music,” he said. “I’d love to do it full-time if I could, but I need something to pay the bills.” Mack’s first album was released in

2013 with his band a the time called ‘A Few Innocent Civilians’, but after losing a member, he decided to change things up, including the name of the band. “Since I was doing the majority of the song writing it made sense to call it the Andrew Mack Band and the rest of the band agreed,” he said. “We also took a bit more time making this album, about a year and a half and I think it really captures the folk and rock and kind of bluesy sound that I have.” The album, entitled Infinite Possibilities, focuses on love, loss and the land and Mack prides himself on the

song writing on the album. One of the songs even won him an award this past summer. “I performed at the Shelter Valley folk festival and won a song writing competition and met some really cool people,” he said. “I met some native people and some people from the east coast and they were really all about writing music about their culture and their experiences and their communities and that really inspired me.” That inspiration translates to the new album and Mack hopes that comes across to his audience. “A lot of the songs are about the

The release of the album will also be local and the band is hosting a release party at the Mansion on Dec. 5. Mack hopes that people will come out to hear what he has to say. “We have a lot of fun on stage and our shows are a great experience,” he said. “We have some good dance songs that people can move to and it should be a great night.” Andrew Mack Band plays at the Mansion on Dec. 5 at 9 p.m. admission is $5 and will include a free copy of Infinite Possibilities while supplies last.

land, being in the country, why it is important to connect and what it means to have a place to go,” he said “The album also deals with the people around you and how the people around you support you.” Support is something that is really important to Mack especially when it comes to local music and the community. Infinite Possibilities was recorded in his drummers studio and mixed by local engineers. “It was a lot of good local flavour,” he said. “It is good to support local music and I always try to do that with my albums.”

Sydenham High School students learn about winter road safety By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – One fatality is one too many in Frontenac Township according to Frontenac OPP Sergeant Paul Mayhew. On Nov. 25, he hoped to get that message across to more than 100 Sydenham High School Students. In an effort to educate and reduce collisions during the winter, students in Grade 12 were invited to a morning workshop about winter road safety in the area. Students heard and participated in presentations from the Frontenac OPP, Frontenac Emergency Services, South Frontenac Fire Department and the Public Works department. “Now, as winter is approaching, we are trying to stress the importance of safe winter driving practices and ultimately save lives on our roadways, waterways and trails,” said Mayhew. “We wanted to target these students as they are starting out with driving. For many

of them it may be their first winter driving and our ultimate goal is to reduce bad driving habits and fatalities on our roadways.” During the workshop, students learned about safe stopping distances in snowy or icy conditions, what to do if they are in an accident or see one, what the potential consequences of texting while driving are and what to do if they encounter icy waters. “I learned that with hypothermia it is actually better to be shivering than not shivering or being non-responsive,” said fifth year student Annie Preston. “Your body is trying to keep itself warm and I didn’t know that.” This winter will be Preston’s first on the roads and after learning about winter safety she is feeling less nervous. “I think these workshops are helpful because all of us are getting our licences now and it is important for us to know the rules of the road and about safety as we go out on our own,” she said. “Now I will make sure

Sergeant Paul Mayhew from the Frontenac OPP spoke to SHS students on Nov. 25 about texting while driving and safe stopping distances. Photo/Mandy Marciniak that I have winter tires and make sure that I am driving below the speed limit and that I am conscious of everything going on around me.” Mayhew also hopes that the messages learned at the workshop extend to the rest of the community. “They (teens) promote messages very well and we have seen trends in the past where these younger drivers can really hit home when they talk to their parents about these issues,” he said. “Anything we can do to prevent collisions and fatalities is important.” To further the message, Mayhew and the other organizations involved are also asking students to come up with their own creative way to get these messages across.

“We want to challenge them to find a way to present our message in a unique way whether it is through social media or signage or whatever they come up with,” he said. “The most creative idea will earn the creator a bursary to further their education.” Overall, Mayhew hopes that the messages of the workshop are well received and that they resonate with the students. For Grade 12 student Eric Lusk, the ideas did resonate and they made him reconsider some of his driving habits going forward. “I think all of this will make me think twice about driving too fast or too closely to other cars in the winter,” said Lusk. “You really need to watch what you are doing and watch other drivers too and I know that now.”

After long wait, fans get complete Mockingjay picture ing for a chance to get to Snow, but President Coin (Julianne Moore) isn’t going to let the face of the rebellion go alone. Katniss is soon surrounded by her own squad including her media team, Gale (Liam Hemsworth), and Finnick (Sam Clafin). The Capitol has been littered with traps created by the Gamemakers making the Capitol an arena. Katniss and her team go in to shoot promos for Coin. Then Peeta is sent to join them. It doesn’t make sense, but before they can figure it out a trap goes off. With their squad leader dead and the Peacekeepers closing, Katniss makes her

play. She takes control of the team and aims them at President Snow. With more than 70 trap-filled blocks between her and Snow the cost of killing Snow will be high. Higher than Katniss can know. If you’re going to break a film in half and make your fans wait a year to see the whole thing, it had better be worth it. By and large Mockingjay Part 2 is worth it. The amount of detail, the depth of character you get into, all the subtle little things you can include because you have the space to do it all makes it worthwhile. However, both Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2 suffer from being split in half. With a whole year between films it isn’t easy to get back into the story. Complete, provided you have five hours to kill, Mockingjay will be a rare film. The kind that sweeps you up in its story and carries you through a range of emotion. Broken in two it loses a lot of its

ability to affect the audience. Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Donald Sutherland are fantastic. Josh Hutchinson isn’t who I would have picked to play Peeta which just proves it’s a good thing I don’t cast movies. Haymitch is and remains my favourite character, and Woody Harrelson brings him to life better than I could have hoped for. Jennifer Lawrence, as always, doesn’t just play her part she becomes Katniss utterly and completely. Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2 are great films. Though the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

I don’t like watching half a film. Was I still looking forward to Mockingjay Part 2? Of course. Was I happy about waiting a year to see it? No. Where the first part cuts to black is where the second part opens. Peeta (Josh Hutchinson) has been rescued, but his mind has been shattered by President Snow (Donald Sutherland). The rebels continue to advance on the Capitol, and Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is resolved to see it to its end. As the horrors of war take their toll, Katniss decides the only way to end the war is to kill Snow. Katniss goes to the front line hop-

Learn something new today Have you resolved to learn something new this year? You’re not alone. Each year, millions of people resolve to expand their horizons and for the sake of a more fulfilling life. It is one thing for adults decide to something new, but quite another to narrow down how you will enhance your knowledge or experiences. Don’t be discouraged by the adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. It’s never to late to move out of your comfort zone, and these ideas may help you do just that. • Learn a new language. If you have always dreamed of traveling internationally and speaking in a country’s native tongue, begin taking lessons. A Gallup Poll indicates that only about 25 percent of Americans can speak another language sufficiently enough to carry on a conversation, although many agree that knowing a second language is a good skill to have. In addition to private tutors or classes at nearby community colleges, make use of foreign language apps and computer programs, which allow you to practice in the comforts of home. Depending on how much time you can devote to studying, it may be just a matter of a few months before you have mastered a new language. How quickly you pick up a new language may be affected by your knowledge of other languages. For example, if you already speak Spanish, learning French or Italian maybe easier because of similarities between these widely spoken romance languages. • Take up a new sport or hobby. Hobbies and sports appeal to all types of people. Adults who never participated in sports as a child may find their interest piqued upon joining an adult league. Don’t underestimate your potential abilities on the playing fields or with regard to certain hobbies. Give painting, woodworking, papercrafting, and other hands-on hobbies a go and you may be surprised to discover the talent lies within. • Go back to school. Even if you already have a

degree, don’t be hesitant to pursue additional education. In 2013, a report in The Wall Street Journal indicated that just 29 percent of college students fit the “traditional” student mold. That means nontraditional students, many of whom are adults, make up the majority of students on campus. Many local colleges and universities offer distance learning or adult education programs. Speak with a curriculum advisor about a particular school’s offerings and find out if you’re eligible for reduced tuition or financial aid. • See new sights. If travel is a passion of yours, make sure your passport is current and start making plans to visit areas of the world you have always wanted to visit. Perhaps there are particular ancient ruins you hope to see, or maybe you want to trace your genealogy back to your ancestral homeland. Trying something new is easier than one may think, and it can make for a great resolution and a more fulfilling life with lots of precious memories.

Make a home offer they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse sell their homes as quickly as possible. Have an inspector ready to perform an inspection within days of making your offer. â&#x20AC;˘ Include an escalation clause. When making an offer on a home, prospective buyers can include an escalation clause. Such a clause acknowledges that a potential buyer is willing to increase his or her initial offer by a predetermined amount to exceed any bids that are higher than that initial offer. When sellers trigger such clauses, they are often required to show the other offers they received that triggered the escalation clause. Escalation clauses show the sellers you really want the house while keeping potential buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hopes of buying the home alive when the bids are competitive. Prospective home buyers may find themselves in some stiff competition upon finding their dream homes. But a few simple strategies can make their offers stand out and increase their chances of buying their ideal homes.

Buying a home can be very competitive. A well-maintained property with all of the bells and whistles that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buyers demand figures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse. Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept. â&#x20AC;˘ Get preapproved for a mortgage. Sellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; patience may wear thin with buyers who are not preapproved for a mortgage when making their offers. Preapproval can speed up the selling process, as buyers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to secure financing afterward. When sellers receive multiple offers on their homes, they are more likely to sell their homes to buyers whose financing is already lined up as opposed to buyers who have to scramble to secure loans. â&#x20AC;˘ Establish a strong rapport with the sellers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for homeowners to develop emotional attachments to their homes, and buyers should keep that in mind when viewing a home and negotiating their purchase. Sellers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear about how ugly a home is or how much money buyers will have to spend to bring the home up to their standards. While buyers must weigh such variables when making their offers, keep it as cordial as possible and avoid any inflammatory remarks during the negotiation process. Sellers may be more likely to accept a lower offer from a buyer they like than a higher offer from someone they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delay an inspection. When a property is drawing significant interest, buyers can set their offers apart from the rest by arranging for a near-immediate inspection. Some buyers may want sellers to give them a couple of weeks to arrange for an inspection, and that may irritate sellers who want to

How to make older homes more energy efficient

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.

R001

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 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

Renovating an historic home 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 historic-home 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 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. 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.

How to improve your home’s curb appeal Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around. A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a wellmaintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget. * Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in

more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult do-it-yourself project. * Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home. * Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to

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