Trustees and councillors team up to focus on new site for high school By Bill Hutchins

News - Now that council has rejected allowing a school on the Memorial Centre property, attention has shifted to a lower profile site that’s also owned by the city. A large parcel of inner city land known as Katings pasture – home to Megaffin ballpark and the mothballed Cook Brothers arena – could hold the key to helping the Limestone District School Board. Councillors agreed to open negotiations with the board to explore the pros and cons of locating a high school on the site, which spans about two blocks between Montreal and Rideau Streets. “It’s probably a better site for a school,” said Coun. Jim Neill, who remains adamant that the Memorial Centre be protected as park land. He says the Cook Brothers/Kating property offers more room for the estimated 11 to 16 acres the board says it needs to accommodate over 1,300 students in a midsize high school, plus gymnasium, library, parking spaces, bus dropJane Kirby performs aerial dance at the Kingston School of Dance pro- off zone and recreation fields.

advantages over the Memorial Centre such as a larger footprint and more vacant land to offer recreational opportunities for students. A draft concept design prepared by the board – to help trustees visualize the school’s footprint suggests a school could be located to the south of Megaffin ball diamond at the corner of Rideau and Russell Streets.

“There really are very few sites when you’re building a brand new school in the City of Kingston. You need a certain size of property and there aren’t that many of them.” David Jackson The potential site fits within the school board’s preferred catchment area to accommodate students once Kingston and Queen Elizabeth high schools close. It’s 2.4 kilometres from QECVI and 2.3 kilometres from KCVI, according to board documents. However, Jackson says the big unknown about the city-owned site is its environmental condi-

tion. He says the industrial history of the property could mean a costly clean-up to remove contaminated soil before any school is built. “It’s in a Brownfield area so we need to look at it closely.” Jackson assured the city that the school board will pay for environmental testing and other technical studies now that the way is clear for the board to evaluate the site. School board officials aren’t complaining about the lost Memorial Centre option. They went to council hoping to explore two municipally-owned sites for a new $36 million high school, replacing KCVI and QECVI, and came away with one possible location. Jackson says location is key to the site search because the school board doesn’t enough have land of its own in the central part of Kingston, which is mostly builtup. “There really are very few sites when you’re building a brand new school in the City of Kingston. You need a certain size of property and there aren’t that many of them.” The board is also exploring some privately-owned sites for its high school, but won’t disclose the locations due to ongoing negotiations.

LOVE THE ROSE & CROWN so much to

By Bill Hutchins

News – The City of Kingston continues to insist that the Memorial Centre grounds are no place for a high school. Councillors voted 9-3 to reaffirm a policy of the previous council to keep a school off the 24-acre midtown park. “Putting a school there could inherently change the nature of that site,” said Coun. Ryan Boehme. The Limestone District School Board is currently scouting central Kingston locations for a new $36 million high school that will combine about 1,134 students from KCVI and QECVI schools, which are earmarked for closure, plus 207 students from Grades 7 and 8 French immersion Module Vanier school. The board says it needs about 11 to 16 acres for the combined school, parking and sports fields. “The best locations are the sites you own, not us,” a candid school board chair David Jackson told council. Jackson, who led a delegation to the Feb. 3 council meeting of other trustees, students and the director of education, says the area around York Street’s Memorial Centre is considered the central point between Kingston and Queen Elizabeth Collegiates. He also unveiled concept designs showing a new school on the southwest corner of the Memorial Centre grounds, where the barns are located, could be ideal for a school building. However, most councillors say the Kingscourt and Williamsville neighbourhoods have the lowest per capita park space in the city and they refused to give up

any ground to accommodate the school board. They also pointed out the city has invested millions of dollars to upgrade recreational services at the Memorial Centre, and they don’t want to displace the Kingston’s Agricultural Society’s long-time use of the property for its annual Fall Fair. “It’s a very important site to the Agricultural Society,” said Coun. Richard Allen. But, in a move described as a goodwill gesture, councillors voted 12-0 to open the door to allowing a new school on another city-owned property, the Cook Brothers/ Katings fields. This inner city land – bordered by Montreal Street, Rideau Street, Russell Street and Cataraqui Street - was also considered off the table by the last council, but there’s been a change of policy. “It’s significant. We are changing course and extending our hand in partnership at least on this property,” remarked Mayor Bryan Paterson, who urged council to keep both sites open for study. “It would be a disservice to our youth to shut that door.” A handful of KC and QE students also addressed councillors, urging them to show “vision” to help with the school site search. Coun. Jim Neill says the fact council is now willing to negotiate with the school board over using the Cook Brothers site is a positive development. “There are, clearly, options. And we are putting those options back on the table.” Jackson joined with other school supporters in urging the city to explore the various school locations before slam-

ming the door on options. “We need to find out if it’s technically feasible to build on either of those sites.” Others agreed with the board’s position that Kingston should be investigating the school potential of both properties, and ruling out any study of the Memorial Centre is hardly a partnership. “We seem to be defining collaboration as a one-sided measure,” said Coun. Mary Rita Holland. She added: “This is not just the (school) board’s problem. It’s our problem.” Holland also challenged previous decisions of council to stick to the long-standing position to keep a school off the Memorial Centre’s grass. “I will not accept anything dictated by a past council without doing due diligence.” However, Coun. Peter Stroud disagreed that solving the school location issue is City Hall’s problem. “That was a bed made by the school board,” he said of the controversial decision by trustees to close KC and QE schools, rhetorically adding: “The city is expected to give them a site to a fix a problem they created.” Afterwards, Jackson expressed optimism with the outcome, and he says studying one potential school site is better than nothing. “Yes, we get one out of two. That’s a bit of a win for us. We hoped to get two out of two, but that’s a way forward for us and we are appreciative of that.” As for whether the board would continue to press the city on accessing the Memorial Centre land in the future, Jackson told reporters: “I believe that debate is closed.”

Truedell PS shows that “cancer is not beyond them” mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – “Cancer is not beyond us” – that was the message of this year’s World Cancer Day on Feb. 5, and students at Truedell Public School certainly took that message to heart. On Feb. 4 students, teachers and parents gathered in the gymnasium to watch three teachers, one student and a parent volunteer shave their heads for cancer awareness; while the students were excited to see their teachers lose their hair, one mother was overwhelmed with gratitude. Melissa Reid’s son Ayden Barber-Reid, 6, is a student at Truedell and was diagnosed with Leukemia in October of 2014. Since the diagnosis, the school has done many things to support the Grade 1 student and Reid couldn’t be more appreciative. “The support from the school has been phenomenal. They have made this school year so much easier for us,” said Reid. “They hand-picked a tutor for Ayden and they’ve raised awareness throughout the school and held other events like this and we appreciate that level of support so much. It takes some of the dark out of our days.” While Ayden has missed a fair bit of school because of his treatments, he was there for the hairraising assembly and even had the opportunity to make the first cut to teacher Kent Rich’s hair. “He was excited to participate,” said Reid. “We left it as a bit of a surprise and we didn’t even tell him we were coming today. He gets excited when we buzz his head so he was very excited to help out.” Rich organized the event and also spoke briefly before losing his hair. He emphasized the impor-

tance of World Cancer Day and more specifically the idea behind this year’s ‘Not Beyond Us’ approach, which encourages a positive and proactive approach to the fight against cancer and encourages action on an individual, community and governmental level. “Often when we hear about how many people are fighting cancer we wonder what we can do to make a difference,” said Rich. “The problem seems like it is bigger than all of us, but helping is not beyond us and it certainly isn’t beyond all of us here at Truedell Public School.” As part of the event, students were asked to bring in donations for the Children’s Cancer Fund at KGH, which helps cover expenses families may incur while their children are undergoing treatment. They hoped to raise $500 for the cause through the event and donations throughout the week. Regardless of the monetary outcome, Reid and her family were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the dedicated staff, students and volunteers. “I am just baffled by the response we have gotten,” she said. “The principal calls me at home to check in and his kindergarten teacher and Grade 1 teacher both came to the hospital when he was there. The support has been tremendous and I don’t think many other schools would be this supportive. We are very lucky.”

“Servicing what we sell, since 1984”

Five interesting facts about Kingston’s 2015 municipal budget 1) Sewage Cash

Council approved a wealth of capital projects to begin in the next few years. The $63 million, five-year widening completion of John Counter Blvd. with a bridge over the CN tracks may be one of the most high-profile construction jobs, but it’s not the single most expensive project. Instead, that distinction goes to the planned 2016 expansion of Cataraqui Bay waste water treatment plant – an $85 million project that most people won’t even notice. The 1950s-era sewage plant, which serves most of west end Kingston, is being upgraded to handle current and future west end residential growth and to treat waste from the Portsmouth neighbourhood, which currently gets pumped all the way to Ravensview. “It doesn’t have the visual impact and it doesn’t make it easier for people to commute to work, but it’s essential,” explained Utilities Kingston president Jim Keech of the expansion benefits.

2) Winter Shortage

Reid

FUNERAL HOME

If you thought your credit card bill is high, the city’s card has about $400 million on it. The amount is based on current or approved capital projects to be financed through long-term borrowing. The city is able pay down tens of millions of dollars in debt every year, creating room for new projects, so the credit balance never strays far from $400 million, the treasurer explained. The province allows Kingston to borrow as much as $900 million, but finance officials recommend the city never go that deep into debt.

4) Repair Backlog

The city will invest about $20 million on general road reconstruction and maintenance work every year, but that figure is still only half of what it should be spending to keep up with crumbling roads. Public works officials estimate the ideal spending level should be $40 million a year to

5) Leaky Pipes

Water and sewer rates will increase by an average of five per cent this year as part of Utilities Kingston’s pay-as-you-go method to finance infrastructure service expansions. But despite on-

going water conservation programs, an estimated 30 to 40 per cent of Kingston’s treated water supply is routinely lost in the ground due to leaky pipes and outdated meters that aren’t capturing the true flow of water into households. “It’s typical for older systems,” said Keech of the more than one-third water loss rate. He says leaky pipe inspections are ongoing, and the utility will be changing 20-year-old water meters in homes starting this year. It means some unknowing customers who’ve been routinely under-charged for their water use may have to start paying more.

maintain the road life cycle. But even if councillors were to free up the extra cash there’s another problem: staff don’t have the capacity to keep up with all the design and contracting out work that needs to be done, and the city also doesn’t want to close too many roads at once during the construction season for fear of a commuter backlash.

News – City councillors have just finalized the 2015 municipal operating and capital budgets, which add up to just over half a billion dollars in spending. Councillors are also seeking a 2.5 percent increase in property taxes this year to bridge the gap between spending and revenues. Here are five budget facts that emerged during the recent meetings:

additional winter equipment this year, including one truck plow, two sidewalk plows and a snow blower (to remove roadside and parking lot snowbanks). But managers also revealed an ongoing shortage of plow drivers. The department tried to ramp up 24-hour winter plowing service by hiring 20 part-time drivers. Instead, it could only recruit 13 drivers this season. It’s an ongoing challenge to find enough qualified equipment operators who can drive the trucks and operate multiple levers to lift the front and wing blades at once on a part-time basis, staff explained of the hiring obstacles.

Editorial

In Our Opinion

Concerts are all about the perfect venueâ&#x20AC;Ś especially as you get older Editorial - When I was eight years old, my parents took me to my first concert. As lame as that sounds, it was New Kids on the Block at the Skydome and I was beyond excited. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really remember much, but I do remember them playing my favourite songs and me standing on the seat trying to catch a glimpse of them on stage. It was awesome. Fast-forward eight years to my second concert experience. While it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include a boy band and my parents, it was just as awesome. I went to see Alicia Keys at Massey Hall in Toronto with two of my friends and it was incredible. Every song sounded so much better live and I could feel the emotion through the amazing acoustics in the venue. This was the concert that made me fall in love with live music. After that concert, I attended numerous shows throughout my later

teens and early twenties and also some pretty cool festivals. I even went to the famous SARS Stock in 2003 and saw far off glimpses of The Rolling Stones, The Guess Who and AC/DC; I waited outside for hours in the middle of winter to see Jack Johnson at Sam the Record Man. While all of these concerts were really great and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade the experiences for anything, I quickly learned what I liked about certain venues and what I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Sadly, most bands donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play the best venues, or at least the bands I chose to see. They typically played in nightclubs or bars or if they were really popular, huge stadiums with thousands of people. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not opposed to an intimate venue like a bar or nightclub, but at every concert I have attended in one of these places I inevitably ended up sweaty, with beer spilt on some part of me and smelling like questionable substances - not exactly my idea of a good time. The larger venues arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much better as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a huge fan of crowds and the inevitable terribleness that is after concert traffic. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also not a fan of standing for hours at a time

and that is inevitably what happens at many of these venues. As I get older, I find myself looking for venues that offer comfortable seats that will allow me to sit during slower songs and in between the opening act and the headliner. This may make me sound old and boring, but if I am going to pay $50 or more for a ticket, I would like the option to sit and relax if I want to. Luckily, as I get older so do many of the bands I enjoy, and they seem to sense this need. Over that past few years, the best concerts I have attended have been at smaller, intimate theatres with assigned seating and they are just as awesome as the bar and nightclub shows, maybe even better. Last week, I had one of these experiences at what was actually my first concert in Kingston. I saw Stars at the Grand Theatre and found myself remembering why I love live music so much and why I love seeing it in theatres. The acoustics at the Grand are incredible, the seats are comfy and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too big. It really is perfect and I would highly recommend seeing a show there if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already. Korey and I spent the night singing along with the band and dancing to some songs, but also sitting through others and for me that is the perfect concert experience, no matter how old it makes me sound.

Choose science, choose safety: vaccinate your kids Editorial - Recent weeks have seen the conversation surrounding vaccines hit new levels on the international stage. This is primarily due to the fact that North America has witnessed the spread of infectious diseases for which there are known effective inoculations such as whooping cough, the mumps and the measles.Â But why are these diseases coming back from the brink of extinction now? The answer is readily apparent. It would seem that parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated with the MMR vaccine shoulder almost the entirety of the blame for the reemergence of these once-thought- conquered plagues. There are a number of reasons why some parents choose not to get their children vaccinated, however one in particular stands far out above the rest. Apparently, there are many out there who still believe the thoroughly debunked pseudo-scientific theory that the regular course of vaccinations are to blame for the seemingly soaring instances of autism. A single 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, published then retracted by the journal Lancet, is to blame for this misapprehension. The doctor in question has had his medical license revoked, and all his research deemed to be an elaborate fraud. Unfortunately, this didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop people like Jenny McCarthy from waging a campaign of misinformation to alert the world to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of vaccinations with predictable results. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-vaxers also like to appeal to another argument: the dogma of personal choice. At first blush, this seems quite a bit more reasonable than to persist in the totally discredited delusion that vaccines = autism. Parents, they say, acting in their capacity as guardians, have a right to decide what goes on into their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body.Â In our country, vaccination is indeed a choice adults make for themselves and their children, but choosing not to vaccinate simply to make a statement that one has this choice seems like an insufficient reason to put oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child and others at risk. Also, this logic ignores the fact that our freedoms are already significantly circumscribed by a broad swath of legislation preventing us from doing harm to ourselves and others. For instance, the law insists that we must file and pay our taxes, wear our seat belts, be in a sober condition to drive our vehicles,Â refrain from smoking in restaurants (or indeed almost any public place) and store dangerous firearms away under lock and key. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the legislation, you are always free to organize and lobby for political change, as our democracy affords us this opportunity. We as a society have recognized that there are some choices we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to leave solely to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;personal choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Surely, preventing the outbreak of painful, debilitating diseases ranks among the highest of societal priorities.Â When you choose to not vaccinate your children, you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just hurting them, you are hurting anyone they come into contact with who is under the age of one (when these vaccinations are typically administered), anyone who is immune compromised and anyone who is unable to be vaccinated due to other legitimate medical reasons. For these reasons, we urge you to please, choose vaccination.

$6 million needed for second mri at KGH

ur region is fortunate to have the best stroke care possible, but our care providers need access to the best tools to provide that care. It is very import to have access to diagnostic information, in a timely fashion. Earlier diagnoses, better treatments and improved outcomes will result from the installation of a second tertiary care MRI. As KGH’s role in providing the highest level of specialty care (such as cancer care and stroke care) has grown, access to critical equipment such as MRI, has not. The province will provide ongoing operational funding for a second machine, but the community needs to raise the $6 million needed for the purchase and installation of the equipment. The need is clear. At any given time, there are 850 people waiting for an MRI at KGH. It is where the most complex scans are completed in the region. Anyone who is well enough and can be served at a communitybased clinic is referred there. Scans that must be

done at KGH are those that require special skill sets, equipment and services such as general anesthetic for children. Those waiting for MRI scans are prioritized by need. But because of the growing demand in our region, far too often, appointments are cancelled because a more urgent patient needs to be scanned. Imagine having a child who requires MRI scans every three months to monitor brain cancer and learning that the earliest they can get in is every five months. More specialized care and better treatments are also resulting in more demand for diagnostic services such as MRI. This is particularly true with the delivery of cancer

care. Best practices for treatment (known as clinical standards of care) call for MRI in more instances for screening, diagnosis, disease staging, treatment planning and post-treatment assessment. “This is about providing people with access to the imaging care they need, when they need it,” says Karen Pearson, Director of Imaging Services for KGH and Hotel Dieu Hospital. “Not only will it help us meet wait time expectations, but most importantly, it will provide patients and their care teams with access to the information they need to get on with their treatment.”

Every person waiting for an MRI at KGH is prioritized by need relative to others waiting for a scan. The problem is, there are too many people who urgently require an MRI. A second machine will help address wait times. Photo courtesy of Matthew Manor, KGH.

City urged to open committee spaces for immigrant voices By Bill Hutchins

News - As city councillors approved a raft of citizen appointments to serve on its various committees this year, one local group was visibly absent from the list. Many new immigrants to Kingston are currently banned from joining municipal committees or boards – a long-standing practice that may be about to change. “I wanted to get involved to serve my community, my home,” said Jana Mareckova, who moved to Kingston from the Czech Republic five years ago. She says there are many benefits of allowing newcomers to have a direct voice in municipal matters; they can network to find jobs, it deepens their social integration, and they can share their particular skillsets and expertise through committee involvement. Currently, only Canadian citizens are eligible to apply to serve on local committees, which help shape municipal policies on topics ranging from arts and culture to environmental protection. But landed immigrants and permanent residents remain excluded. They need not apply. Sabah al Jalam, a permanent resident from Syria, is another Kingstonian fighting to have a voice at the table. “We may be small but our number are growing,” she told a recent council meeting. She says Kingston welcomes about 800 permanent residents every year. Councillors agree the current policy needs to change with the times. They voted unanimously to examine new eligibility rules that would allow all permanent residents who have lived in Kingston for at

least one year to be able to apply for committee work. The motion calls for staff to report to the administrative policies committee before the end of June with the intention of changing the rules for the next round of committee appointments in 2016. “We should, in fact, allow them to be engaged in the community,” said Coun. Jim Neill, who introduced the motion Jan. 27. He says the change would bolster the city’s ongoing efforts to attract more immigrants to Kingston. “It gives a clear message to immigrants … that Kingston welcomes them.” Council heard that committee eligibility rules vary from one municipality to another, but there is no provincial law that prevents permanent residents from serving on councilappointed committees. Coun. Peter Stroud wondered how the city can determine whether permanent residents have lived here for at least one year in order to be eligible for committee work. The clerk said the time frame requirement would be based on the honour system. While Kingston may open the door to permanent residents serving in its committee structure, they still won’t be allowed to vote in civic elections. That right can only be exercised by Canadian citizens. Farah Coppee, who came to Canada from Haiti six years ago, recently became a Canadian citizen. She says allowing permanent residents to sit on committees may be a small matter for many people, but it’s important to feel a sense of belonging. She says if the city can collect her taxes then she should have a stronger voice. Coppee told council: “We are here to stay and we have a great deal to offer our new home.”

News – Heat is something many of us take for granted throughout the cold winter months, but for some families heat is a luxury - and one that they can’t really afford. Luckily, the United Way and Union Gas are here to help; since 2007, the two groups have helped more than 462 households in the Kingston community with their gas costs. “The program is called Winter Warmth and it is run in 30 communities throughout the province,” explained Kim Hockey, KFL&A United Way’s director of investment. “Our community receives funding annually for our local program and then we work with community intake agencies to find families that may be in need of the assistance.” Families are found through the Kingston Community Health Centre and the Napanee Salvation Army and the agencies work with families before and after receiving funds to ensure that they are able to take care of future expenses too. Families need to meet certain criteria in order to qualify and can receive up to $500 a year in assistance from the program. Often times families need assistance in the summer too so the program now runs year-round. “It started off as just being a winter program, but it was realized that this isn’t a need that only presents itself in the winter, especially for low income families,” said Hockey. “When it is so cold out we certainly

Hockey estimates that 20-25 families are helped

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, February 12, 2015

Meditative artist There’s a quiet peacefulness surrounding the artistic work of Curtis Daviduke. But lurking near the surface, there’s also an impish playfulness. That’s readily apparent in his newest work called City Block where he’s carved a city skyscape into a large block of wood. Curtis Daviduke is one of the resident artists at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. He’s a newcomer to Kingston who was thrilled to become part of the Tett creativity studio group. “It was really by serendipitous luck that I’m here,” he says. Curtis and his wife, Julia, had been living in Saskatoon. Julia got a job in Kingston and they moved here in the June. But Curtis had some contracts to fulfill in Saskatoon so was travelling back and forth through the summer and autumn. By October, he was looking for studio space in Kingston. He did a web search to see what was available in the city. He checked out some space, but said it was not the best. In other words, it was basically some dingy downtown basement. “I found out about the Tett just before the deadline for applications.” He got his application in and on one of his treks back to Saskatoon in midNovember he received notification that he had been selected as one of the artists who would inhabit Kingston’s new arts hub. By the time he was in high school, Curtis knew he was going to be an artist. In 1998, he started his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program at the University of Saskatoon, in the city where he’d been born and raised. When we talk about his childhood, he says he was a badass kid with a good heart. Then he laughs. “So I was tormented. I was probably ADHD. If I was ten years old now, they’d probably have me on pills.” One thing that has helped him centre and deal with down mental periods has been meditation. “Life was at a crazy point,” he says. “It was time to let go of ego and find a new spark for my art. That’s why I started meditating. It’s reflected in a lot of my art now.” He describes the little buildings he carves. “When I have to draw 10,000 little windows, I go into a zone and I breathe in that zone. That’s where I want to push

my art, into the meditative aspect. I like to work on huge constructions, but do it all on a small scale.” You’ll sometimes see him in his studio with headphones on. He admits he’s likely listening to Buddhist chants and not wanting to bother other artists in their studios. It’s my turn to laugh as I tell him I play similar sacred Buddhist chants in my studio, without headphones, but the sound is such in the Tett Centre that it does not carry into other studios. He says he actively meditates a few times a week, but since training in Vipassana Buddhism, he can easily slip into meditative moments throughout every day. “I can easily turn off the world for two hours.” Readings on the historical development of Buddhism note that Buddha taught two types of meditation: samatha and vipassana. Samatha can be translated to mean tranquility. Vipassana means clear-seeing, but is associated with insight, which leads to tranquility We chat about Buddhism at length. Curtis explains that after spending several days in a process of silent meditation, he found himself able to leave stressors behind or at least see their irrelevance. He found peace. To Curtis, it’s not a religion so much as an approach to life that involves respect and love and spreading love and compassion in the world. “We’re talking about one man (Buddha—Siddhartha Gautama) meditating and having a certain approach to life and passing it on to others. It’s not a typical religion in any way.” While in Saskatoon, in addition to his art, he also utilized his skills in designing and building furniture and cabinetry. In 2000 and 2001, he moved to Ottawa to study furniture design at Algonquin College. When he returned to Saskatoon, he worked for himself, taking on furniture and carpentry jobs, as well as continuing with his painting and sculpting. The slightly badass kid still hovered within. He bought a drone to enable him to capture aerial photographs around Saskatoon. He created drawings based on these shots. “I hadn’t intended to do these in wood,” he says. “I left all my woodworking tools in Saskatoon.” After moving to Kingston, he decided that instead of just drawing what he saw in the aerial photographs, he’d carve one in a huge block of wood. He had some old rusty tools sharpened and he got a small carving set. That first carving became City Block. It’s a beautiful carving you can see outside the Tett artists’ studios. He’s now working on a second City Block.

Working in miniature isn’t something new for him. In fact, he grew up around miniatures. “I’ve always been attracted to scale and the magic of miniature scale,” he says. “I’ve always done miniature buildings and city scapes. Carving them into a block of wood follows naturally. I like old wood. Carving a little city scape goes back to miniatures I saw as a kid. My mum did miniatures and was a miniatures enthusiast. There were all these little scale things around the house that had magic to them.” I asked him how someone who takes a meditative approach to life and art deals with frustration and gets excess energy out. “I like energy sports,” he says. “Ultimate Frisbee, hockey. There’s a dualism. I’m rough and rowdy at the hockey rink and I’m the Buddhist quiet guy in here (the Tett).” Active sports brought another benefit. Curtis and his wife met playing Frisbee.

A lot of his active energy goes into his carving and art. He explains that the artist has an important cultural role. “Through history, artists have always been in tune with the leading subversive issues of the day. They are in tune with what’s going on and they see what’s going on. They have a finger on how people feel in general. Artists are the ones pushing the issues. You look at any community and the artist sees the possibility and pushes it forward.” He says he feels fortunate to have landed in Kingston at the very time when the Tett was opening. “Being around other artists is great,” he says. “I’ve always been drawn to that kind of environment. And you see such creative people coming and going here. The pace is different than in a business. The energy is all based on wanting to create. If things aren’t going well, I stop and take a breath and look at all that’s go-

ing on and realize how amazing this space is. There is such diversity of artistic talent. If I had done my Google search for studio space two days later, I wouldn’t be here. But I am here, and I see how much energy went into saving this building years ago and I feel I’m part of its history now. I cherish my time here. We’ve got to treat this as a sacred space.” He explains that he has joined a group of artists that already feels like a supportive community. “There is a nice feeling here. People are bumping into my work and my work is bumping into new people. I don’t know many people yet, but there’s a nice feeling in this building. I’m so far ahead than if I was working in a basement studio.” You can find Curtis Daviduke in Tett Centre studio 214G most days of the week. He welcomes visitors and will gladly sit down and chat.

WritersFest event invites readers to explore their dark side mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Events – Scary stories certainly aren’t new; they have probably been around since the dawn of storytelling and in recent years thriller and horror novels have gained quite a bit of popularity. “There have always been scary stories and many of them have been written by great literary writers like Dickens and Henry James and others throughout the centuries,” said Andrew Pyper who just released his seventh thriller novel ‘The Damned’ on Feb. 10. “ I love being part of that tradition and I think over the past few years people have really developed more of an appetite for thriller novels, especially here in Canada, and that is so exciting.” To celebrate this appetite for thriller novels, Pyper is going on tour with fellow novelists Nick Cutter and Rob Pobi. The tour is entitled ‘Dark Side II: Highway of Horror’ and the authors will be stopping in Kingston on Feb. 21.

“We have a bus and we are outfitting it with labels. We’re trying to emulate a rock band as much as writers can,” joked Pyper. “Kingston is our first stop and each of us will be reading from our books and having great conversations about them. For people who enjoy this genre, it should be a great evening.” Pyper is known for creating supernatural thrillers that are grounded in real world settings; he attributes a lot of this ability to the variety of genres he read when he was growing up. “I would read Stephen King, Graham Greene, Alice Munro and the New Yorker and then also some horror novels and for me as a reader that was totally normal,” he explained. “I never really saw the division between the categories that the grownup world does and I think that my writing reflects that.” For Pyper, the best part of writing is creating and building worlds that readers can escape in. He loves transporting readers to places, but he also tries to make the places somewhat recognizable and comfortable for the reader. “You need to take people to a differ-

ent place and make them believe,” he explained. “My books don’t launch off into crazy fantasy lands, I keep it quite small scale and domestic, and I think that keeps them more believable.” Pyper hopes that this type of novel setting and premise will lend itself well to the ‘Dark Side’ events and he encourages anyone who is interested in his work or works by the other authors to come out and enjoy the event. “I think it will be a really fun night of readings that won’t lull you to sleep, hopefully they will do the opposite,” said Pyper. “I think this collection of writers in particular exemplify a growing movement in Canadian literature for thrillers generally, but also supernatural thrillers in particular. I hope people come out to explore that.” ‘The Dark Side II: Highway of Horror’ comes to Kingston on Monday Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Fort Henry Discovery Centre. Tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door. For tickets and more information visit www.kingstonwritersfest.ca or call Andrew Pyper is coming to Kingston as part of the ‘The Dark Side II 613-767-0513 Tour: Highway of Horror’ on Feb. 23.

bake sale, in support of the Kingston Humane Society, to be held at their office at 375 Select Dr. (behind Farm Boy). The sale will begin at 9 a.m. and last until 5 p.m., or until cupcakes are sold out. “The Humane Society plays an important role in Kingston,” she says. “They provide animals a second chance, whether it’s refuge from cruelty, irresponsibility of an owner or if the pet is lost, found, or unwanted. Animals cannot change their circumstances like humans can, which is why in my mind the Humane Society in integral.” And, be on the lookout for other similar fundraisers in the future. “This fundraiser has sparked an idea in our office to be more involved in charity and give back to the community,” Lawrence says. “I challenge everyone to find a cause that speaks to them and get involved. Pay it forward, give back.” In the mean time, she invites the community to come on over on Feb. 23 and enjoy some delicious cupcakes that will be made by employees. The office hopes to raise at least a few hundred dollars through the initiative.

Animals hold a very special place in the heart of Kingston Heritage/Frontenac Gazette advertising sales manager Kate Lawrence. “Every morning I get up at the crack of dawn and feed our 26 critters – eight ducks, seven chickens, one rooster, a pot belly pig, two goats, two horses, three dogs and three cats” explains Lawrence, who lives on a farm near Odessa. Most of the family’s “babies” are rescues in some form or another, including Beatle, a 12-year-old boxer/collie cross. “She is from the Humane Society and has been part of our family for 11 years,” Lawrence says. “Someone left her in a shed with her mother and five pups – no food, no water. All were near death when the Humane Society rescued them.” She notes that without the Humane Society, most of the animals on their farm wouldn’t have had a chance. That’s why Lawrence decided she wants to give back to the organization that has given so much to her family. On Thursday, Feb. 23, she and her fellow employees at the Heritage/ Gazette invite you to a special cupcake day

HEART

Rock photographer to share his “fairy tale life” with locals By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

“To study the story of Ethan Russell is to witness more luck than any human being should be allowed to have,” wrote the Daily Beast in an article about the photographer who has captured some of the most iconic images in rock history. Russell himself admits this is true. “What I really wanted was to be close to the music,” he says of why he travelled from his home of San Francisco to London in 1967. “I didn’t particularly want to be a photographer… but I can’t tune a guitar, so that wasn’t going to work.” Russell arrived in London and didn’t know anybody, but a friend of a friend happened to be doing a story about a local musician. “He asked if I wanted to photograph his first interview. I said, ‘who’s it with’? He said, ‘Mick Jagger’.” Some months later, the same writer was doing a story about another London musician by the name of John Lennon, and again asked if Russell wanted to collaborate. “I got on really well with John Lennon,” Russell says. “I was sort of a John Lennon clone - I looked like him and would occasionally get mistaken for him. I think that helped. And it really helped that I took pretty pictures of his girlfriend [Yoko].”

The rest is history. Russell continued to be called to do work for The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, including shooting the cover of the album Let it Be, which ended up being the final photoshoot the Beatles did together as a band. “I came back to America and I had the cover of Honky Tonk Women, which was the number one record in America,” he recalls. It just so happened the Stones were also in U.S. at the time, so Russell decided to drive down to see them in Los Angeles. “I knew them, you see, because I’d worked with them,” he explains. “And Mick says, ‘do you want to go on tour with us?’ so I do the whole 1969 U.S. tour.” The most surprising thing about that tour, he says, was how small it was. “There were only 16 of us – me, the Rolling Stones and 11 other people. That’s smaller than their makeup department today.” It also wasn’t quite the party most people probably imagine when they think of a rock tour in the late ‘60s. “The truth of the matter was, for [that particular tour], it was very workman like. The shows were spectacular, but back stage was pretty damn normal. These guys had already been doing it for about six years.” While he hints that things might

have changed a bit by the band’s ’72 tour, which he also went along for, Russell emphasizes that most megastars are where they are for a reason. “If you totally buy the image, especially the more exaggerated images of what these people are like, you completely miss the fact that the common thread for a lot of them is that they work like crazy. You need to be a worker. You can’t be stoned and falling over all the time or you can’t do your work.” On both Stones tours, Russell’s mission was to authentically capture what it was like to be on tour with the band. “To get any closer to The Rolling Stones than you get from looking at my photographs, you’d have to go on tour with them,” he says. “I was with them everywhere and I didn’t change what was in front of the camera. [The pictures] are the truth, and as you can imagine, the truth is both more interesting and less spectacular than some of the fiction people have about it.” In order to share his incredible experiences with others, Russell created a unique sort of show, called The Best Seat in the House, which he is touring internationally. He will be at the Grand Theatre in Kingston Feb. 27 to share stories about The Beatles, The Stones, the Who and other bands he has worked with. “It’s based on this completely fairy tale life that I got to have,”

(Above) Ethan Russell at the Let it Be photoshoot. (Right) Ethan Russell on tour with the Stones. Russell notes, emphasizing that “it’s not a slide show, it’s not a lecture, it’s an evening of stories, with over 300 photographs and music…It’s just a great evening.” For more information about

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, February 12, 2015

Coping with the loss of a pet The strong bonds many people share with their pets can make the death of those pets, be it sudden or expected, difficult to handle. It’s not uncommon to be traumatized when a pet dies, and such grief may be influenced by the pet’s age at the time of its death, the circumstances surrounding that death and the nature of the relationship between the owner and pet. Different pet owners deal with the death of a pet in different ways, but the following are some ways to cope with the loss of a companion animal. · Recognize that everyone feels differently. Grief is expressed in many

different ways. What one person experiences may not be the norm for another. You may go through a variety of emotions, from anger at the circumstances and being left without your pet, to guilt if you believe there may have been something more you could have done to prolong the animal’s life. Mourn in your own way, and afford others the same opportunity. · Reach out to others. Grief often can turn a person inward, and your feelings may be bottled up. Talking about your emotions, whether it’s with a trusted friend or even a therapist, may help. Online message

boards that cover grief and pet loss may provide the support you need.

Leaning on others who have been in your shoes may help you recover

more quickly. · Create mementos or a legacy for the pet. Creating mementos may help children who are having their own difficulty dealing with pet loss. Work with your child to create a photo album or plant a tree to honor your pet. Dealing with a pet that must be euthanized can be especially difficult. Pet owners can choose to be in the room during the procedure, and that decision should not be made lightly. If you think you can handle it and you want to be there to comfort your pet, then you might be more comfortable

being in the room. But being present when a pet is euthanized can be emotional, so give this decision serious consideration. Once a pet has died, many owners debate whether or not to bring a new pet into their homes. Another animal around the house can fill the void created when your previous pet passed away, and some people adopt or buy a new pet before an old or sick pet passes away to make the transition as smooth as possible. A new pet should only be brought into the home when you’re ready to build a new relationship.

Easter Seals kicks off 32nd annual telethon campaign mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – It’s that time of year again- time for the annual Easter Seals fundraising campaign and telethon. The organization has been working hard since 1922 to provide accessible camp experiences for kids with disabilities and with this years fundraising goal of $200,000, they certainly have a lot of work to do. The goal was announced at the annual Rotary kick-off lunch on Feb. 5. Easter Seals committee chair Margaret Miller also announced some modifications and additions to this year’s campaign. “We are undergoing some very exciting changes this year and the telethon will be a bit different, but we hope it will be our most successful year ever,” said Miller. “In addition to the telethon broadcast, Easter Seals is proud to announce a partnership with CKWS for Easter Seals week on the station from April 6-10.” As part of the Easter Seals week, the station will feature daily segments about the organization between 5 to 6 p.m. and will even feature people in the community who have been affected by Easter Seals. “This new additions will be a boost for our fundraising and will

allow us to reach a much greater and wider audience in the area,” said Miller. “It will bring Easter Seals to the forefront of the community’s mind and will allow us to show what we do and ask for community support to keep doing it.” Miller was joined by many Easter Seals families at the kick-off lunch and some spoke about their experiences at Camp Merrywood and with Easter Seals. “I love going to camp and am looking forward to kayaking this year,” said Zoe Hennessy. “They have also helped me with acquire a stair lift, and a hydraulic bath lift too, making life easier for my whole family.” This year’s telethon and campaign will also focus more on group fundraising and online contributions, which will be accepted prior to the telethon itself. “We are moving away from the traditional phone in approach and we hope to generate more funds by doing so,” added Jessica Kostuck, fundraising specialist for Easter Seals Ontario. “We hope to reach more people and in new ways this year and make it our most successful year yet.” For more information on Easter Seals and how to donate visit www. eastersealstelethon.org. The telethon takes place on April 12 from noon to 4 p.m.

Kierra MacLeod performed at the Easter Seals Telethon kick-off lunch on Feb. 5.

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, February 12, 2015

Let your inner artist emerge There’s an artist inside each of us waiting to be released. If you’ve always secretly wanted to try your hand at some creative venture, you’ll have a chance over the next several weeks to check out many forms of the arts at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, the new arts hub at 370 King Street West. Arts samplers are being offered to anyone in Kingston who would like to try them out. “The samplers are our way of reaching out to the greater Kingston community outside the Tett,” said Shannon Brown, Community Engagement Coordinator for the Tett Centre. “They are our way of saying, ‘Please come to visit us and come see what we do; we have lots to offer.’ The City of Kingston has collaborated with us to bring free programming for the first three months of operation of the Tett, so you will notice that on every Saturday and Sunday different programs are being offered.” Part of each artist’s commitment to the creativity studios is offering time to the community every month. “Each artist contributes five hours a month to community engagement,” she said. “We felt that the creativity studios could be part of that free programming and it’s an opportunity for people to come and get to know who the artists are and what they do.” There are 11 artists in eight studios; three of the studios are shared by two artists. “The people who were chosen are such a wonderful bunch of friendly, generous and talented, as well as very creative people who have a lot to offer the world, not just with their beautiful art work, but also in their ability to communicate what it means to be an artist and what it means to make art.” The first sessions were offered last weekend. Different programs are offered each week, but don’t worry if you miss an art form in which you are interested; the programs are repeated at least once every month. “We have a great cross-section of samplers. We have everything from collage to drawing and watercolor painting, and from sculpting to photography. You can come and meet the artists and share a cup of tea while coloring, inside or outside the lines, in an adult coloring book.” Each sampler is open to 12 participants at any one time. At the same time as samplers are

offered, there will also be open studio times when the public can come in and watch an artist at work. “Both are available on Saturdays and Sunday,” said Brown. “If you are interested, come early. The Saturday sessions start at 10 a.m. and doors open at 9. If you are interested, come a bit early and find your way to the creativity studios and sign up with the volunteer at the door.” She explained that for most of the samplers, there will be a fair amount of turnover as samplers may last from 15 minutes to an hour. The Sunday sessions run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday Arts Samplers are designed for kids with their parents/ caregivers. Anyone under 19 has to have an adult sign them in. For those 12 and under, a parent has to stay with the child. Sunday sessions are designed for adults and families. The open studio sessions are for anyone to watch the artists. While you’re in the building, there are lots of other areas to explore. “There are so many things happening,” said Brown. “You can attend a sampler and then go to some other event in the building. You could try out an instrument at Joe’s M.I.L.L. (Musical Instrument Lending Library). You can take a look at the Tett Community Art Exhibit of the past and future. Peak into the pottery studio or watch a dance class.” Each resident arts organization has massive walls of windows so visitors can see what’s going on inside. “There are many different ways to engage with the arts at the Tett,” said Brown. “If you’re curious, come to the Tett and walk through the building and allow yourself to be drawn in by something that inspires you.” If the grand opening of the Tett, The Whole Shebang, on January 31 was any indication, the Tett is going to be the happening place in the city. The Tett reached its visitor capacity within an hour. The overflow of people waiting to get in lined up in the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts for up to 45 minutes, just for the opportunity to get a look at and explore the new Tett Centre. “We were so thrilled with the grand opening and all the people who came to visit,” said Brown. “Every time I walked the halls, people were all smiling, amazed at what they saw.” What they saw included experimental and brilliant dance combined with aerial circus arts and spinners (from Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners) at Kingston School of Dance, stilt walkers, artists and drummers in the corridors, pottery making and weaving, and participation in theatrical perfor-

mances in the Malting Tower and at the Theatre Kingston space. Brown said that now that all the resident arts organizations are up and running, classes are available daily. “The organizations have their own classes, but people have also been renting space for original programming. Whiskey Fest will feature a sampling with all food cooked with whiskey on February 19. There’s a jazz concert coming up. As well, Modern Fuel has a Vapors Music Performance with three bands on February 28. On the same day, Greg Keelor from Blue Rodeo will be here with the Kingston Canadian Film Festival.” On February 14 (this Saturday), from 10 a.m. until noon, you can watch an open studio (in 214E) where I’ll be working with dancers from the Ballerinas Dancing in the Streets photography project. There will be talkback sessions from 10:45 to 11:00 a.m. and from 11:45 to noon, where you can ask dancers any questions about ballet and raise any questions you want about photography. The arts sampler on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. features photography. Bring your camera and questions about how it works or how to improve your photography skills. The open studio (214D) on Sunday with Barb Danielewski and Brock Jones Clow will offer budding artists an opportunity to try their hand at many forms of creativity, creating collage, and even including coloring books for adults. And, of course, tea will be served. In next Saturday’s (February 21) open studio, you can meet artist, drummer and drum maker Yessica

Rivera Belsham. The Sunday (February 22) arts sampler is offered by Curtis Daviduke (see today’s Enchanté column), who will explore mandala symbolism as you find your inner Zen and create a mandala using collage techniques. All workshop topics and times should be confirmed on the calendar of events at the Tett website, tettcentre.org. The open studios and

arts samplers take place in the common area of the Creativity Studios (Studios 214 A through H). Shannon Brown recommended that people should check the Tett calendar often as it will be updated regularly as programs are added. For information, visit tettcentre. org or call (343) 266-0009.

Mother predicted doom and gloom with Findlay Oval got out of the rocking chair, laid his pipe on the floor, and went over to the wood box. The ledge at the top of the box was wide enough to hold a tin pie plate full of coarse salt. It was there for a certain purpose, and it looked very much like that was the night it would be put to use. You could take one burner off at a time on the Findlay Oval, or you could use the handle and the whole top of the stove with the two burners could be lifted at once. Father lifted the iron handle, raising the top of the stove and hooking the handle to keep the stove open. The flames shot out like a bonfire, Mother yelled at we five kids to get our coats and boots on, and it looked very much like her fear of the whole place going up in smoke was coming to pass! Father wasn’t the least bit excited. He took the tin plate of coarse salt, dumped it all over the burning logs in the stove, gave the plate a tap with the back of his hand, and we all watched as the flames died down like a dried up creek! Once or twice, too, when even Father thought the fire was out of control, he would put on his big leather mitts, go upstairs into our bedroom, and pull the pipes apart and dump another tin plate of salt down the pipe, set the plate on the open pipe, and bring the top pipe on top, cutting off the fire completely, and within seconds, the whole fire would go out, just as if you had blown out a match. Mother never did get over her fear of a winter house fire. Every night, without fail, she would take our winter outerwear off the hooks at the back door, lay everything out on chairs at the bottom of the stairs, with orders that, not if, but when, a fire broke out, we were to grab our clothes and head outside as fast as our legs could carry us. And again, without fail, Father would remind her that the old house had stood for more than 100 years, the cook stove had raged all that time, and the closest time we ever came to burning the place down was one summer when my Uncle Lou accidentally set fire to the back house when he tossed a cigarette down the hole. The fire did a fairly good job on the back house, and singed the outside wall of the summer kitchen. The old log house didn’t suffer as much as a

Lifestyle - To Mother, it wasn’t a question of “if”, it was a question of “when”. That had to do with the old Findlay Oval in the winter, stocked to the hilt, 24 hours a day. It wasn’t at all unusual, after Father had chucked the firebox full of wood, to see the silver pipes turn crimson. And that’s when Mother was sure, without a doubt, the old log house would go up in flames, and her prayer was that there would be time for all of us to escape a fiery death. There was no doubt in her mind, that it was just a matter of time. As we sat around the old pine table after supper, and once the kitchen had been redded up, Mother, at the head of the table with her papers, scrap books and diary spread around her, could barely concentrate on her writing, or using the scissors, as she kept one eye on the cook stove. Every few minutes she would take a long hard look at the raging stove and say, “Albert, it’s getting pretty red.” Father would grunt into his paper, take another long drag on his pipe, and say, “now, it’s alright Mabel, I’m keeping my eye on it.” Keeping his eye on it, meant he would move off the rocking chair only if he figured the raging fire had gone up into the flue and it was time for action. How he knew when it had reached the danger level was beyond me. All I knew was that at a very early age, my fear of a house fire had its beginning on those cold winter nights when the Findlay Oval was trying to win the battle over the icy house that never quite got warm enough to suit me. The pipes, which every Fall were painted silver, snaked from the stove across the ceiling in the kitchen and then up through a hole into the hall which was my sister’s and my bedroom, took a sharp turn, and vanished into another hole into the outside wall, where supposedly, the flue was. It was in the flue, Mother knew the danger of a house fire would have its COACH & TOURS beginning. I had no idea what was inside the flue, or what it was made of, but I was sure it held our destiny in its grasp. And when Mother lamented loud and long, Father would give a long EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO sigh, and remind her that the old log EXCELLENCE house had been standing in that very Winterlude - February 14/15 same spot, with a cook stove in a corner Blithe Spirit - Wednesday, March 11/15 of the kitchen for over a hundred years, St Patrick’s Day Show - Tuesday, March 17/15 and it had yet to burn to the ground.

As Kingston’s only peanut and nut-free bakery, Safari is in high demand for children’s parties, school events, and indeed any sort of event where nut allergies are a factor. “Everything’s baked right here,” Dauncey explains. “We don’t use [peanuts and nuts], we don’t allow them in the building and we get our allergy paperwork from our suppliers.” Look for special collaborative offers be-

Everyone knows that flowers and cake go together perfectly - so when Jane Dauncey of Safari Cake Boutique and Jen AtkinsonSpencer of Sage Flowers saw an opportunity to house their businesses under one roof, they jumped on it. The space at 842 Gardiners Rd. has been home to Safari Cake Boutique since it opened a year ago. “I’ve been working from home for a couple of years and I needed somewhere that wasn’t my living room to have clients come pick up their orders,” says AtkinsonSpencer. She knew Dauncey because the two recently collaborated on a wedding cake that was decorated with real flowers. “We were just chatting casually and I said ‘oh, if you know any soap makers or jewellery makers who are looking to share a retail space, I’m in the market and Jane said what about me’?” While the businesses will remain separate, the two hope to do more collaboration in the future, and become something of a one-stop-shopping destination for those planning weddings and other events. “It can just take a bit of the stress out of it because it’s one less place to go,” notes Atkinson-Spencer. “We’re hoping maybe we can do a package or something that’s an incentive,” adds

Dauncey. “If people book with me and book with Jen, we can try to work something out.” She notes that “we’re a great fit because we both make everything custom, made to order to the customer’s specifications…instead of something pre-made at a grocery store.” Already, the two have been feeding off one another’s creativity. “I realized when I was working by myself I would talk to my cat a lot,” laughs Atkinson-Spencer. “It’s nice to have someone across the room you can bounce ideas off of…And I help eat all the leftover cake – I’m super helpful.” She describes her flower arrangements as often having a bit more of a “garden style” than most. “I came into floristry through horticulture,” she explains. “I was getting my horticulture diploma and they had an evening intro to floral design. I was hooked after I did that.” If given the freedom to create her own style of bouquet, Atkinson-Spencer often adds herbs and foliage from her own garden. “It adds a little texture and scent to it,” she remarks. Appropriately, Dauncey’s signature style for cakes often incorporates floral designs. “I’ve done other cakes too but that’s kind of my element,” she says. “I like the flow-

Mother predicted doom and gloom with Findlay Oval Lifestyle - To Mother, it wasn’t a question of “if”, it was a question of “when”. That had to do with the old Findlay Oval in the winter, stocked to the hilt, 24 hours a day. It wasn’t at all unusual, after Father had chucked the firebox full of wood, to see the silver pipes turn crimson. And that’s when Mother was sure, without a doubt, the old log house would go up in flames, and her prayer was that there would be time for all of us to escape a fiery death. There was no doubt in her mind, that it was just a matter of time. As we sat around the old pine table after supper, and once the kitchen had been redded up, Mother, at the head of the table with her papers, scrap books and diary spread around her, could barely concentrate on her writing, or using the scissors, as she kept one eye on the cook stove. Every few minutes she would

looked very much like that was the night it would be put to use. You could take one burner off at a time on the Findlay Oval, or you could use the handle and the whole top of the stove with the two burners could be lifted at once. Father lifted the iron handle, raising the top of the stove and hooking the handle to keep the stove open. The flames shot out like a bonfire, Mother yelled at we five kids to get our coats and boots on, and it looked very much like her fear of the whole place going up in smoke was coming to pass! Father wasn’t the least bit excited. He took the tin plate of coarse salt, dumped it all over the burning logs in the stove, gave the plate a tap with the back of his hand, and we all watched as the flames died down like a dried up creek! Once or twice, too, when even Father thought the fire was out of control, he would put on his big leather mitts, go upstairs into our bedroom, and pull the pipes apart and dump another tin plate of salt down the pipe, set the plate on the open pipe, and bring the top pipe on top, cutting off the fire completely, and within seconds, the whole

fire would go out, just as if you had blown out a match. Mother never did get over her fear of a winter house fire. Every night, without fail, she would take our winter outerwear off the hooks at the back door, lay everything out on chairs at the bottom of the stairs, with orders that, not if, but when, a fire broke out, we were to grab our clothes and head outside as fast as our legs could carry us. And again, without fail, Father would remind her that the old house had stood for more than 100 years, the cook stove had raged all that time, and the closest time we ever came to burning the place down was one summer when my Uncle Lou accidentally set fire to the back house when he tossed a cigarette down the hole. The fire did a fairly good job on the back house, and singed the outside wall of the summer kitchen. The old log house didn’t suffer as much as a scratch!

our destiny in its grasp. And when Mother lamented loud and long, Father would give a long sigh, and remind her that the old log house had been standing in that very same spot, with a cook stove in a corner of the kitchen for over a hundred years, and it had yet to burn to the ground. That was little comfort to Mother, who could be heard say under her breath. “There’s always a first time, Albert.” And then one night, (Father said the coldest night he could ever remember) the old stove was fair belching from the pile of hardwood father had crammed into the firebox. The burners were getting redder by the minute, and you cold smell the silver paint on the pipes. To Mother, if you could smell paint burning, a fire in the flue wasn’t far behind! That’s when Father finally thought it was time for action. Never in a rush if slower moving would do just as well, he got out of the rocking chair, laid his pipe on the floor, and went over to the wood box. The ledge at the top of the box was wide enough to hold a tin pie plate full of coarse salt. It was there for a certain purpose, and it

take a long hard look at the raging stove and say, “Albert, it’s getting pretty red.” Father would grunt into his paper, take another long drag on his pipe, and say, “now, it’s alright Mabel, I’m keeping my eye on it.” Keeping his eye on it, meant he would move off the rocking chair only if he figured the raging fire had gone up into the flue and it was time for action. How he knew when it had reached the danger level was beyond me. All I knew was that at a very early age, my fear of a house fire had its beginning on those cold winter nights when the Findlay Oval was trying to win the battle over the icy house that never quite got warm enough to suit me. The pipes, which every Fall were painted silver, snaked from the stove across the ceiling in the kitchen and then up through a hole into the hall which was my sister’s and my bedroom, took a sharp turn, and vanished into another hole into the outside wall, where supposedly, the flue was. It was in the flue, Mother knew the danger of a house fire would have its beginning. I had no idea what was inside the flue, or what it was made of, but I was sure it held

The language of love By Kate Kristiansen

Food plays a huge part in Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, the celebration of love. Sharing a meal with a group, or as a couple is one of the best gifts of all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well,â&#x20AC;? said Virginia Wolf; this my mantra, too. There are several opinions on the history of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. One is the story of Valentine, a physician who

was believed to be a gastronomist. He made his medicines more palatable by blending them with spices, honey and wine. Valentine was incarcerated for his religious beliefs, and legend has it that he sent a note to his love before his execution on Feb. 14, signed â&#x20AC;&#x153;from your Valentine.â&#x20AC;? Each year until 1969, a feast day was celebrated in his honor. Cupid, the sweet little cherub, and hearts are other symbols of the season. All stories over the centuries

have evolved and merged into the holiday we celebrate today. But, no one can argue that the best part of the season isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sharing food - wine, berries, pasta and more. Nothing says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love youâ&#x20AC;? like sharing a meal. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fancy your kitchen skills, there are many unique ways to enjoy the season as a couple or a group outing in Kingston. Let these fantastic chefs do the cooking for you!

What to look for in an investment property Historically, the appreciation rate for real estate is very strong. Even when the housing market declines, long-term investors in real estate can rest easy knowing that property values tend to rebound rather quickly, rewarding patient investors in the process. Looking at real estate as a long-term investment is just one way approach a potential investment property. The following are a few additional considerations prospective investors should contemplate before buying an investment property. Location Many people are familiar with the real estate industry axiom, â&#x20AC;&#x153;location, location, location!â&#x20AC;? When buying an investment property, location is everything. A great location should outweigh your own personal feelings about the home, especially if you do not intend to live at the property. You will likely define a great location for an investment property differently than you would a property you intend to live in, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your own desires in a home cloud your judgement when choosing an investment property. Properties in safe neighborhoods that boast good schools and offer easy access to public transportation tend to make great investment properties. DĂŠcor DĂŠcor is another thing to consider when looking for an investment property. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to reside in the property, your opinion of the dĂŠcor should not carry much weight. When viewing a property, try to imagine how much it might appeal to prospective tenants. Quirky properties typically do not appeal to as many prospective tenants as properties

whose dĂŠcor are similar to other homes in the area. Though you might find a tenant who prefers properties with unique interiors, a property that appeals to as many prospective tenants as possible often makes for a better investment and a lot less stress when the time comes to find tenants. Condition The condition of the property also must be considered before buying an investment property. Some investors want a fixer-upper, while others prefer turnkey properties that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require any elbow grease. The former type of property likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost as much as a fully renovated property, but those cost savings might be lost when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to renovate. Find a property thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the type of condition youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable with. If you decide to go with a fixer-upper, learn the cost of your potential projects before submitting an offer. Cost Real estate makes a great investment, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go overboard when buying an investment property. Before making an offer on a property, research rents in the area and the cost of insurance in that particular neighborhood. You want a property that essentially pays for itself, so make sure the rent youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to collect is enough to cover your monthly costs, including the mortgage on the property, insurance and the costs associated with managing and maintaining the property. Real estate investors often reap great rewards when selling their properties. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still important for potential investors to consider a host of factors before investing in a property.

Add value to your home with these renovations Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home. Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeowners’ investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale. • Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen. • Look to paint. One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is

paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an eco-friendly home, which is very desireable these days. • Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away from another room. Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths need 30 to 35 square feet for a stand-up shower or bathtub. • Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic improvements aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets. • Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary home. Adding light

can mean including more overhead and accent lighting. Under-cabinet task lighting is a nice touch. Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can bring natural light into rooms that may not have south- or west-facing windows. • Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor living spaces have become more desireable, especially as the “staycation” has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project. • Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home. Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will provide a solid return on their investment.

Remodeling spending increases as renovations are on the rise According to the National Association of Home Builders, as of November 2014, a greater number of remodelers reported higher business activity than during the previous quarter. Remodeling spending has been gradually climbing back up from the all-time low it reached in 2009. This growth in home renovations has led to more jobs for carpenters, plumbers, painters, electricians, and other construction workers. In Massachusetts alone, a recovery in overall construction employment has led to a gain of about 18,000 jobs during the past four years. The Home Improvement Research Institute expects an additional 5.8 percent sales growth in home improvement spending in 2015. States that showed the highest levels of home improvement spending in 2014 are likely to continue to hold the top spots through 2015, and the National Association of Home Builders says these areas include the District of

Columbia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, and areas of southern California. Americans are not the only ones increasing their home spending. According to reports released by Moneris Solutions Corporation, Canada’s largest credit and debit card processor, purchases at home improvement stores rose by 8.49 percent over the same period last year, and spending on plumbing and heating equipment and electrical contractors climbed by 5.14 percent and 5.08 percent, respectively. Spending patterns indicate that homeowners are investing in DIY projects as well as seeking specialized work provided by professional contractors. Now is a good time for the real estate and home improvement sectors, as homeowners have renewed their fervor for making home renovations, both to increase comfort in their homes and make their homes more buyer-friendly.

In the not-so-distant past, home improvement projects all but came to a halt, as homeowners were weary about investing any money into fixeruppers. But the tides have changed dramatically in recent months, and homeowners are again ready and willing to invest big dollars into home renovations. Renewed confidence in the economy and an upswing in the real estate market have contributed to the remodeling frenzy. In early 2014, the Joint Center for Housing Statistics of Harvard University forecasted nearly $150 billion in major remodeling spending over the year. JCHS said as homeowners gain more confidence in the housing market, they’re more likely to undertake home improvements they would have avoided in recent years. While the numbers do not yet match pre-recession remodeling spending, the number of construction projects has steadily trended upward.
