Kingston Heritage – One of the ‘top 5’ list of enhanced services sought by residents of Kingston’s growing east end neighbourhoods is moving ahead. City council has endorsed plans to construct a community centre near Greenwood Park at an estimated cost of $9 million to $12 million. It will offer recreation and leisure programs for youth, seniors and other residents. Pittsburgh district councillor Brian Reitzel says the Greenwood Park location is ideal. “In terms of geography that’s where it should be. We have the bus services. Seniors are very happy with having it centred somewhere in that area.� The decision to pursue a new community centre location follows a yearlong investigation into the possibility of acquiring the former J.E. Horton Public School for a community centre. In a report to council April 1, staff concluded it would cost at least as much, if not more money, to purchase and renovate the mothballed school in Barriefield for community purposes even though it’s

located too far away from Pittsburgh’s growing population base. Officials estimated the school renovation costs at $8 million to $12.6 million, or $12.7 million to $15.3 million to raze the school and build new on the property. Staff recommended the school purchase option be formally abandoned and for the Limestone District School Board to be notified, and council unanimously agreed. “The report covered all the bases. You can’t argue with the numbers there. I believe that they are realistic and certainly workable for us,� said Coun. Reitzel. Instead, the city’s new focus will be on finding about two acres of land for a 17,000 square foot multi-purpose building further north on Highway 15. More public consultation will also take place before a location is chosen, municipal funding is finalized and construction can begin – all key decisions which will likely be left for the next council to decide. The need for a community centre to serve residents east of the Cataraqui River was singled out during recent Town Hall meetings. Pittsburgh resi-

City pool and arts centre projects near the finish line Kingston Heritage – After two years of closed doors and lots of hammering, two high-profile restoration and expansion projects in Kingston are nearing completion. The city has invested a combined amount of more than $26 million to refurbish the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning and Artillery Park Aquatic Centre. Coincidentally, both projects are nearly identical in terms of their budgets, construction timelines and renovation complexities, though they will serve different users. The municipality’s only indoor pool complex will be the first to be completed, with a target opening date of May 1. Artillery Park’s renovation and expansion work has been under way since the summer of 2012. “We are on budget and on time,� said

mer brewery building has involved; gutting the building’s interior for new support braces, insulation and metal roof, installing floor-to-ceiling windows and constructing a replica of the building’s original waterside malting tower. The city-owned limestone building will be home to about a dozen arts and cultural groups – from dancers to potters - who’ve been scattered in rented spaces around the city during the two year long reconstruction work. They are scheduled to move back into the completed Tett Centre in September.

“During the early stages of the project, a number of conditions increased the complexity of the project,� according to a Tett Centre information report by commissioner Cynthia Beach. Just like Artillery Park, the Tett’s higher budget includes a $1 million contingency fund which has been used on several occasions to cover unexpected design, construction and equipment purchase fees. “Efforts continue to manage the overall project costs within the approved budget,� said Beach’s April 1 report to council.

Both projects encountered costly expansion pains near the outset, forcing city council to increase their respective budgets. The Artillery Park project rose by $2.5 million to a total of $13.5 million, mainly to cover the unexpected removal of contaminated building materials and for added site excavation work. The Tett Centre’s budget increased by $1.7 million to an overall cost $13.2 million due to unforeseen costs linked to building support geotechnical issues and structural remediation.

Luke Follwell, the city’s acting director of recreation and leisure services. Artillery Park users – who’ve been relocated into rented space at the provincially-owned Beechgrove site – will notice a vast improvement in the 40 year old downtown facility. In addition to being made fully accessible to the public, the recreation centre will feature two easy ramp entry, saltwater treated pools – 25-metre lap pool and 15metre warm water leisure pool with therapy jets – plus new men’s, women’s and family change rooms, sauna, fitness and cardio room, more windows to increase natural lighting, more parking and energy efficient mechanical equipment. Despite limited space, construction crews were able to expand the building’s footprint by 15,000 square feet along Bagot and Montreal Streets. Meanwhile, the Tett’s facelift faced its own challenges due to the historic nature of the 19th century building along King Street West. Extensive work on the for-

United Way honours a few of the city’s generous volunteers

The path to vitality

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

I panicked...

My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.

C

hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.�

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.�

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product�, relates a happy Christie.

Heritage News – Last week was National Volunteer Week and to celebrate, the United Way honoured six outstanding volunteers from the Kingston community with a Volunteers Grow Communities award. “It is a celebration of volunteering,� said Bhavana Varma – President and CEO of United Way Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. “Organizations nominate individuals and this year we had some really great nominations. We have a volunteer committee that goes through all of the nominations and then they have the tough job of choosing who should win.� This year marked the third year for the celebration and each year more and more nominations are sent in, making the selections more and more difficult. “We had 26 nominations sent in from community agencies in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington and our advisory committee pored through all of the nominations and made the very difficult decision and chose six recipients,� explained Bill Miklas, Volunteer Services Manager at the Volunteer Centre in Kingston. Volunteer nominees are organized into categories and then a recipient is chosen in each. This year’s winners included Youth Volunteer, Tessa Grant nominated by H’art Centre, Employee Workplace Volunteer Group, Corus Entertainment nominated by Big Brothers Big Sisters, Family Volunteering group, The Cormier Family nominated by Big Brothers Big Sisters and Individual Volunteers Margaret Baldwin nominated by Hospice Lennox & Addington, Bill Griffin nominated by St. Vincent de Paul and Tracie Hanna nominated by Sexual Assault Centre Kingston. While it is nice to be recognized, Miklas is certain that every winner never expected to win an award. “Most volunteers don’t do it for the recognition or the awards, they do it because they want to and they feel they need to. It makes them feel good and in some

cases helps them fill a void. I’m sure all of these recipients never thought they’d receive an award and they are totally fine with that.� Miklas sees a number of volunteers each week who are looking for organizations to work with and is always surprised by how giving and eager Kingstonians are to donate their time, especially the youth.  “We’ve seen a great increase in youth volunteers over the years, especially with the Change the World campaign. We surpass our goal every year in terms of both volunteers and hours and that is so great to see.� For Miklas, the most important part of his job is effectively matching people with volunteer organizations they will love. “There are so many reasons to volunteer in the community and people do it for many different reasons too. Some people are working in a job that doesn’t let them do everything they want to do so they use their spare time to volunteer somewhere that they feel they can do some good,� explained Miklas. “It is extremely rewarding to volunteer and that was part of every nomination we got. Every one of these recipients volunteers because they get a reward from it. They all volunteer at agencies they are passionate about and that really makes a difference.� Overall, the reception was about more than just the awards, it was about the organizations and the work they do in the community and the volunteers that help them do it. “Most agencies in the community are volunteer driven and this week is the way to recognize what those volunteers do for the community,� said Miklas. “Not all volunteers are recognized in this way, but there are so many of them in the community and that is what National Volunteer Week tries to do. Most of the agencies in this community couldn’t do it without these volunteers and that is why they nominate individuals and why they take the time this week to thank those individuals.� For more information about volunteering in Kingston go to www.unitedwaykfla.ca

DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.

Some ‘repeat’ races on the horizon in Kingston’s fall election Jim Neill will once again be facing Ed Smith, the former councillor who lost to Neill by less than 200 votes four years ago. Neill filed his nomination papers in early March, while Smith jumped back into the fray a few weeks later trying to reclaim a seat on council. Both candidates provide voters with some distinct choices. For example, Neill strongly opposes using any section of the Memorial Centre grounds for a school while Smith reThere’s mains open to the idea. “It should be entertained as one of the possible sites,” said Smith, YOUR ADa downtown business613.546.3607 owner.

Heritage Editorial – It’s still in the early stages of Kingston’s municipal election campaign, but a couple of interesting district races have already started to take shape with some familiar names as candidates. Williamsville District is shaping up to be a repeat of the 2010 election battle. Incumbent councillor

have in common - they don’t want a casino in Kingston. Smith is also facing a challenge from another source in what could be the first skirmish of the campaign. Coun. Rob Hutchison is annoyed because a quote that’s attributed to him has popped up on Smith’s election website. He wants his words removed. The quote states: “Ed is intelligent. He often has useful contributions to the debate, especially at the committee level.” Coun. Hutchison, who happens to be a well-known ally of Coun. Neill in many council debates, doesn’t deny making the comments in a 2010 magazine article when asked to say something positive about a council colleague. But he doesn’t think his words should appear in Smith’s web campaign literature without his permission. “I’m going to ask him to take it down,” said a visibly annoyed Hutchison, who doesn’t want to be viewed as endorsing Smith’s campaign against Neill. For now, Smith doesn’t sound like he’s ready to remove Hutchison’s statement. “No, because that’s what he said. The quote is the quote.” Looking to the north, Joyce MacLeod-Kane also wants her old

job back. She’s the first candidate to register in Countryside District where she lost to incumbent Jeff Scott by less than 200 votes in the last campaign. It’s not yet known whether Scott intends to seek reelection, though he’s indicated an announcement is coming soon. This could set the stage for another closely watched rematch this fall. Another interesting race in the early going is for Sydenham District. Now that veteran councillor Bill Glover has served notice he won’t be seeking re-election to a “do nothing” council at least three people have come forward in the wide-open contest: Bonnie Ferguson, Peter Stroud and Adam Koven have all registered as candidates so far. As far as the city’s top job is concerned, no candidates have formally filed their papers yet. Incumbent Mayor Mark Gerretsen has made it no secret that he intends to seek another four-year term. But will he have any challengers? Expect more candidates to step forward before the summer begins, even though many won’t go into full campaign mode until after Labour Day. The last day to register as a candidate is Friday, Sept. 12. Municipal election day is Oct. 27.

more study to determine whether a school would fit on lands now occupied by the barns, but he makes it clear he won’t support a school if it means displacing any of the Memorial Centre’s upgrades. “A school will only work if those items can be protected.” Smith also touts his past track record of voting on issues that are fact-based. “I support issues that are financially and socially responsible, not ideological based,” he said. Smith would also prefer to have wider sidewalks promoting a more pedestrian-friendly atmosphere of midtown’s Princess Street instead of bicycle lanes, a street feature Neill has championed. But the former councillor admits it may be too late to reverse course now that construction has started. One thing both candidates do

In Our Opinion

Come out and celebrate Earth Day Heritage Editorial – April 22 marks the 24th annual Earth Day here in Canada. The day is the largest environmental event in the world. More than six million Canadians participate in an Earth Day activity in their communities each year and hundreds of organizations across the country celebrate in different ways. This year there are multiple events happening throughout the Kingston area to help raise awareness about different environmental issues and celebrate Earth Day. Why not check one or more out? • Join the Cataraqui Conservation Foundation for an Earth Day fundraising screening of “More Than Honey April 22, 5 p.m. at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area Outdoor Centre. Admission is $25 and proceeds support the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority’s outdoor education programs. • Queen’s University is hosting a screening of “Waterlife: The Great lakes, the last great supply of fresh drinking water on Earthâ€?. The screening will be supported by a live performance by The Gertrudes, with representatives from The Waterkeepers, the Water Walkers and Jamie Linton, author of ‘What is Water?’ also on hand. The event takes place on April 21 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Ellis Auditorium. • Planet in Focus is hosting a series of film screenings at Cineplex locations across the country. Screenings in Kingston take place on April 25 at Cineplex Odeon on Gardiners Road from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for more information visit www.planetinfocus.org Various schools throughout the area will also be holding Earth Day activities. Even if you can’t participate in any of these events you can still contribute in small ways like using a reusable coffee mug for the day, organizing a park clean-up in your area or making an effort to pack a litter-less lunch. It is only one day, but perhaps these film screenings and activities will have a larger impact and the only way that can happen is if more people get involved.

Feeling a bit nostalgic for the Easter Bunny Mandy Marciniak

because my family planned trips to Florida to visit my grandmother over Easter. I was worried that the Easter Bunny wouldn’t find me, but luckily he did and it was even more fun in a new location, not to mention that there were more treasures to find because grandma was involved. As I got older I discovered that the Easter Bunny and Santa were very similar and I noticed that they even appeared to have the same handwriting. Upon asking my parents about this, they simply brushed it off, as all parents do when their kids start to question these magical holiday gift givers, but it was only a matter of time before I figured out the whole truth. After that, Easter definitely became less magical. The same thing happens with Christmas, but not to the same extent. Christmas still happens every year and it is more or less the same without Santa, but as you get older Easter egg hunts become a bit ridiculous and Easter becomes a lot less fun. In recent years I’ve found myself feeling a bit nostalgic for those treasure hunts and the excitement of Easter. Don’t get me wrong I

still enjoy the holiday, but now it is more about visiting with family and less about the fun and whimsy of the magical Bunny. To compensate for this I’ve turned my focus to spring itself and the new hobby of gardening. I’ve never actually gardened before, but this year I am going to give it a try. Unfortunately I can’t grow any vegetables where I am living because of the abundance of wildlife, but I am going to try to grow some different varieties of flowers. I’m not sure if I have a green thumb or not, but I guess I’ll find out. I’ve been doing some research into what types of flowers to plant and I have to admit I am getting quite excited. I realize that I have to wait a few more weeks before planting, but seeing all of the tulips, daffodils and daisies that are popping up in stores is getting me pretty excited. I’m hoping to replace the whimsy of Easter with the whimsy of flowers and who knows, maybe if that catches on I’ll be able to create Easter egg hunts in future gardens. Adult Easter egg hunts are fine right? Maybe I’ll just replace the eggs with wine bottles

Heritage Editorial – It’s here! I think we can all safely say (unless we live in Northern Ontario) that spring is finally here. This time of year always makes me happy. The birds are chirping, the snow is melting and Easter is coming. I’ve always loved Easter, especially when I was a kid. I loved waking up early on a spring morning and seeing that the Easter Bunny had visited the night before. In my house it was always a treasure hunt. The Easter Bunny left me written clues about where to find eggs, toys, stuffed animals and a variety of other fun things and I loved it so much. It was exciting to read and figure out the clues and it was always exciting to be rewarded with a prize when you got the answer right. I was concerned for a few years

Its Always about the Ferry Isn’t it ? By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC News- With Easter here, I will keep this rant short. But with Easter, comes spring, comes summer, comes BUSY, Busy, Busy Wolfe Island. It will be welcomed by businesses, event planners and tourism operators, and families all over the island, and specifically in Marysville. Just in the last week with temperatures up, our own island cyclists, walkers and runners are already being joined by cyclists and walking visitors from Kingston. As well, the inevitable spring time increase in the number of cars and business vehicles coming to the island also has started. And while all this is welcomed by most, the reality is that the ferry Wolfe Islander III needs company to handle the traffic and provide the required extra capacity to accommodate the ever increasing influx of visitors and tourists. A new 75 car ferry for Wolfe Island was recommended in the most recent ferry services study undertaken by the MTO. When Mayor Doyle met with the Minister of Transportation Glen Murray, and later with MTO’s Kathy Moore, his request on behalf of Frontenac Islands, specifically Wolfe Island, was for increased ferry capacity in the form of a 2nd ferry. But we all know the likelihood of a 2nd ferry, old or new, to join the Wolfe Islander at this time is very remote. Used fresh-water car ferries are hard to come by, and planning for a new one is just an idea at this time. Minister Murray urged MTO to look at the situation. On the other hand, he couldn’t understand why the bridge option has been put off so often, and now again. Yet here we are, with the ice just barely out of the bay, already seeing a steady increase in traffic. And with seasonal business and tourism so important to Wolfe Island, Islanders are sprucing up the village, getting tourist areas ready for visitors, activities announced and events posted. They will also be looking for ways to reduce their own (vehicular) ferry trips to the city. But what to do about long ferry waits, long

line ups, diminishing ferry capacity aggravated even more with the new dangerous goods regulations? Islanders are committed ferry riders. On the one hand , they love the isolation it brings. They wait patiently for it, are ardent readers on it, and delight in meeting friends and neighbours. On the other hand they know tourism is important to the economic development of the island. They are concerned about the ferry’s diminishing capacity, the long line ups, the increased wait times, growing need for more toilet facilities etc. They wonder about ways to organize regular transport for visitors to Big Sandy Bay? For Metal Craft workers? To the Community Centre grounds? All to reduce the number of vehicles on the ferry! What can MTO do to help. Is MTO able to provide more Wolfe Island ‘Park and Ride’ parking in Kingston? Could MTO summer students take on the task of encouraging visitors going only to Marysville, to walk on the ferry? Is it possible for MTO to organize with the City of Kingston transport for visitors to Big Sandy Bay? While Kingston sees it as another Kingston tourists’ attraction, the Wolfe Islander 111 is a lifeline for islanders first and foremost . I wonder if MTO could, or would, engage and financially support (that’s the key) the services of one of Kingston’s Tour Boat operators to have a ‘ Passenger Only’ vessel travel from Kingston to Wolfe Island at peak summer hours to accommodate the tourist aspirations of both Kingston and Wolfe Island?

Royale’s red ball raises $5,000 for Heart and Stroke By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – It was an evening of celebration, fundraising and red. On Feb. 28 residents of the Royale Retirement Residence in Kingston hosted its first annual ‘Occasion in Red’ gala to benefit the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “This was the first time we had done an event like this but we are hoping to grow it in the years to come,” said Robyn Pichie, Retirement Counselor at Royale and organizer of the event. “We had about 70-80 people come out to the event and it was a four-course meal with a keynote speaker and a silent auction.” The residence set an ambitious fundraising goal of $5,000 and through ticket sales and silent auction items, they achieved that goal and a little bit more on top. “We set the bar high but we were so excited when we achieved the goal. The residents were so excited,” added Pichie. “This was the first time we’ve taken on a fundraiser like this and reaching the goal just made it even better and gave us a lot of hope for years to come. It made all of the hard work and planning worth it.” The theme for the evening was red and all of the residents and guests at the gala were encouraged to wear the colour for the night. The gala was held in the dining room of the residence and red carpets greeted guests and led them to the event. Pichie and her co-organizer Holly Brooks even arranged for a photo booth where residents and guests could play with props and have some fun. Overall, the evening was organized to be something fun and exciting for the residents. “The event was great for the residents and a lot of their family members came out to have dinner with them and just have a fun night and that is so nice for them,” said Pichie. In addition to the fun of the night, Royale wanted to present the cheque for the $5,041 raised in a fun way too. On April 9, residents gathered in the lobby of Royale to watch the cheque presentation. “We were thrilled when Holly and Robyn ap-

proached us and told us about the event that they were planning. It is something that hasn’t been done in a while in this area and it was definitely a creative event that sounded like a lot of fun,” said Landan Burns-Keaney, Area Manager for the Heart and Stoke Foundation Kingston. “They did a great job putting the night together and they certainly put in a lot of hard work and long hours and it certainly paid off. The amount they raised is amazing for a first year event and that number is even impressive for some 10-year events so we couldn’t be more pleased.” The funds will go to support multiple activities and programs within the Kingston community that are run by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Burns-Keaney commented that he can’t wait to see what they come up with next year. For now, Pichie and the staff at Royal are just happy to be celebrating the success of this year’s event, but they are hopeful there will be many more successful ‘Occasion in Red’ years to come.

Staff at the Royale Retirement Residence in Kingston gladly passed along their $5,041 cheque to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Kingston. Funds were raised through their first annual ‘Occasion in Red’ gala on Feb. 28. Photo/Mandy Marciniak.

OUT STANDING IN OUR FIELD

Aric McBay

Greenhouse work a welcome sign of spring By: Aric McBay Columnist

Heritage Lifestyle – For us, growing seedlings used to mean losing sleep. We start seedlings in the greenhouse in March, when there is still snow on the ground outside. On a sunny day you can wear a t-shirt in the greenhouse, an enjoyable perk of greenhouse work at the end of a long winter. But once the sun goes down, it gets cold fast. When we built our greenhouse about 10 years ago its only heat source was a wood stove. That first winter my partner Emily and I would kindle a fire in the greenhouse wood stove at sunset. Then we took shifts, alternating nights, trudging through snow or heavy

frost to check the temperature and feed the stove every few hours. After a few weeks the seedlings had emerged and the greenhouse was filled with thousands of tiny, tender plants. Exhausted from working in the days and walking out to stoke the fire each night, we decided to take turns sleeping on a mat on the soil of the greenhouse. When I was on greenhouse duty I would stoke the fire until the greenhouse air was warm, smelling of fresh verdant growth despite the ice outside. Then I would fall asleep, warm enough that I barely needed a sleeping bag. A few hours later a chill in the air would wake me. That was my signal to feed the fire. When the sunrise shone through the plastic overhead it was time to get up and

do our usual farm duties. Tending to the greenhouse that first year meant having the sleep schedule of a new parent. We’ve upgraded a bit since those days. We still have the wood stove; we cut standing dead trees on the farm, so heating with firewood is cheap and carbon-neutral. But we let an automatic furnace with thermostat take over heating duty once we go to bed. The greenhouse keeps us busy enough during daylight in the early spring. We have a 150-member Community Shared Agriculture operation, and we grow just about every kind of vegetable you can grow in our climate. To have the first crops ready for harvest in May or June means we start our transplants in the greenhouse months in advance. The inside of our greenhouse looks a bit different from most commercial greenhouses. The space is ample, but still finite. We use temporary tables for seedlings and transplants. We maintain the soil under the tables so that greens, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers can flourish there in the summer when the tables are removed. The way we grow our seedlings is a bit different as well. Most commercial greenhouses have thou-

sands of disposable plastic trays with little soil plugs in individual cells. We’ve switched away from that method for a few reasons. For one, we’re an organic farm, and so we try to minimize the amount of plastic we consume and the quantity of waste we produce. The plastic trays can also produce seedlings that are “rootbound.” Limited to a tiny space, a seedling’s roots search for fresh soil, circling and circling the plastic cell until the plant is strangling itself. As an alternative, we use “soil blocks,” little cubes of soil that we stamp out with a portable mold. The cubes hold together by themselves, no plastic necessary. You can see in the photograph how they

form a grid on a tabletop in the greenhouse. When the seedling’s roots reach the edge of the cube they touch air and stop growing. And so instead of rootbound plugs we have healthy little transplants in large enough quantity that we sell the extras at spring plant sales for home gardeners. This spring our greenhouse is full of healthy, thriving plants. And we don’t even have to stay up all night. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. He lives and works at an organic farm on Howe Island.

Weight training advice for women

It’s all about technique If you aren’t familiar with the different types of exercises or are new to working out altogether, it would be beneficial to consult an expert. Working with a personal trainer will enhance your performance, and allow you to tailor a workout regimen that will target all of the right areas. If you’re working out, but aren’t completing the exercises properly, it defeats the purpose entirely. Consistency is key Once you start weight training, don’t stop. Yes, it’s work, however; making time to lift every day is better than skipping days altogether. Every little bit will help.

R0012649233

ADVERTORIAL

Don’t be afraid of muscles Some women may avoid weight training because they fear it’ll make them look too muscly, however; one of the fastest ways to burn calories and lose fat is to weight train. Muscles can be sexy, too. Patience is a virtue It’ll take time to build up the body of your dreams. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. If you find yourself losing hope you could always turn to a personal trainer for motivation and support, or get yourself a workout buddy. Sometimes having someone by your side going through the same sweaty struggle as you can be therapeutic, and make you want to try just a little bit harder. If you think you’re ready to start your weight-training journey, or are looking for some advice, visit Omega Fit Club http://www.omegafitclub.ca/ in Kingston.

ENCHANTÉ

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

Serving the community: not just a slogan By Mark Bergin Columnist

In the jaded world of politics, there is still hope and integrity at the local level. And nowhere is it clearer than in Adam Koven. It takes a lot to surprise me, but I was caught off guard when he announced his candidacy for a seat at the great horseshoe in Kingston City Hall. Here’s a highly successful lad willing to enter that grueling sport known as politics, where on an average day, participants can take hits from every direction. All this while

wearing no shin pads or protective head gear. Why on Earth would anyone decide to do this? We sat down together last week and I put him on the hot seat. At the end of the afternoon chat, it made sense. “It’s a natural progression. I’m going to stay in this city. I love this city. What if I could actually do something that advances Kingston. I’m not just talking about business and commerce; culture, the arts, the outdoors, sports and recreation are all so important.” His roots grow deeply in the Kingston soil. The decision to enter politics was consistent with a

philosophy of caring. He currently serves on the boards of the Rotary Club of Kingston, United Way’s Fair for Friends, B’nai Brith Kingston and Theatre Kingston. In the past, he’s served on such boards as the Boys and Girls Club, the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Kingston General Hospital Board of Governors and the University Hospital Foundation. “I’ve grown up here and spent pretty much all my life here,” he says. “My upbringing taught me to work hard and to volunteer. My father introduced me to the Rotary Club. He and they taught me the Four-Way Test: Is it truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and will it be beneficial to everyone concerned?” He says his family taught him about service above self. His parents lived by example. “We work hard and we all want to do well,” he says. “We want to feel we’ve earned what we’re accomplishing. My mother has always supported my goals but also led by example. She is a volunteer extraordinaire and public servant.” I wondered what his family thought of his political aspirations, including what his late father Phil’s opinion might have been. “If he was still alive, I think he and I would still be working on something together,” says Adam. “He supported everything I did.

children: Adam’s two daughters (16 and 12) and son (10) have been having discussions at the dinner table. “I’ve been blessed with wonderful children,” he says. “It’s important that my kids are excited about this. I don’t know if they understand what it all entails. I think they may have the idea that it’s like Dad’s going to be on another board. At our table discussions, we’re starting to talk about municipal matters. It’s a great education for all of us.” Adam Koven has worked in his family’s business for a couple of decades. Last year, he obtained his real estate licence and accepted a position with Royal LePage. “When I was in my early 20s, I read The Wealthy Barber and Mordecai Richler’s Duddy Kravitz. I had to own a piece of dirt. I left Queen’s and started to buy real estate. I felt like I knew what I was doing and it felt natural. Twenty years later, I was looking at what I’d like to do next. I know I really enjoy meeting people and I liked helping them find what fits for their lifestyle. I’m geared for real estate.”

And, now, politics? He’s in a position to help bringing divergent interests together, especially with younger citizens. “I attended Queen’s Commerce,” he says. “I lived on University Avenue and in Vic Hall. I understand what it means to be a student here. We have RMC and St. Lawrence College, to include in the community, too. When students witness their city treating them as members, they’ll feel pride in their Kingston. I want to see that integration. Everyone has to sing from the same page. Everyone has to realize we live in a great city. Amazing things are coming out of Queen’s, RMC and St. Lawrence College. These institutions are producing a bulk of innovation, and, if Kingston can entice them, just maybe a few of those new start-ups will set up shop here. Will employ here. Will grow here.” How does someone who works endlessly, but also manages to be a good father, keep perspective on his life? The answer is revealing. It says a lot about the man. He explained that ten years ago, he weighed 245 pounds. After walking up a flight of stairs, he’d be out of breath. “I stopped and looked at myself and thought, ‘You’re 32; are you waiting for the doctor to tell you that you’ve had your first heart attack?’ So, I lost 80 pounds, but knew it was all going to come back without exercise.” A friend, Kyla Smith, got him running. He worked up to the Limestone half-marathon in Kingston. Next came a full marathon and, then, a triathlon. “When I did the first triathlon, the K-Town Tri, I may have been the last guy out of the water, in the end, I was probably in the bottom 10%, but I was smiling. Then Kyla said, ‘Well of course you’ll just have to compete in an Iron Man.’”

His first Iron Man was at Lake Plac-

“My father was sick and dying, but we didn’t know it, when he witnessed me in my first Iron Man.” Adam’s been running in Iron Man competitions for the past eight years. He’s competed in British Columbia, Mont Tremblant, Germany, Florida, Kentucky and Manhattan. He’s remained healthy. He runs an hour or two in the morning. “There’s nothing but your inner voice and what you see around you. If I can get that activity going to start the day, everything else is going to fall into place. Then it’s time to be a businessman, be a father, do my daily routine. I have to maintain physical activity, a good balanced diet and get enough sleep. Doing all those things gives me balance.” He’s not viewing his run for politics with rose-tinted glasses. “I’m nervous about when I’m going to see my name in the paper and what’s going to be said. No matter what you do, there’s going to be something negative at some point. And I take that seriously. My father taught me that if a customer calls and complains, that may be one person, but there are probably 50 people who feel that way. Every complaint has validity as long as it’s not destructive in its intent. If someone says I should have considered something, I’m going to listen and think, ‘Should I have considered that?’ If a person is willing to publicly serve, a person must be willing to publicly say, ‘I’m wrong’ sometime.” That last sentence is refreshing to hear from a politician. This next phase in Adam Koven’s life remarkably resembles his exercise regimen. He’s shown that he has the stamina to complete in the toughest Iron Man competitions. I expect that he’ll show us the same in politics.

Child Haven International founders still going strong Columnist

Heritage News – When Fred Cappuccino and his wife, Bonnie, married 60 years ago, they decided on having two kids so they do not increase the world’s population. They agreed if they wanted more children, they would adopt. And adopt they did. Ultimately, the couple opened their heart and home to 21 children, 19 of whom are adopted. “Bonnie gets carried away and it

was one more and then one more and then two more. It didn’t stop until there were 21 children all together,” said Fred, who is 88 years old. But even after 21 kids, Bonnie was not done with helping children. That’s why in 1985 she established Child Haven International, a not-for-profit organization inspired by the ideals and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. Bonnie and Fred, who are from Maxwell, Ont., were recently in Kingston for a Child Haven International Fundraiser held at Kingston City Hall.

The organization, which is still spearheaded by Bonnie, has helped feed, house and educate more than 1,300 children in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Tibet. It has homes in each of the countries, except for India, where it has six. Bonnie, 79, said she spends half of the year visiting the homes and the kids that they shelter. “When I go, I don’t do any sightseeing. I don’t have time. Every place I go is like family, so I feel like it’s very comfortable to be there,” explained

FREE YOURSELF FROM HIGH HEATING COSTS

Bonnie. Fred stays behind on those trips because of old age, but he doesn’t worry much about Bonnie. “She is so focused, she knows what she is doing and she does it always with a big smile,” he said. Fred recalled a time when Bonnie saved a girl from childhood marriage. “We had a father who put three of his kids in one of our homes and he also brought two of his friend’s children,” explained Fred, who is also a talented story teller.

“The father was a poor tribal man and when he left the youngest child under our care, he decided to take his 13-year-old daughter back with him,” he continued. The girl had been with Child Haven International for a very long time and her father claimed he needed her help with chores. But the girl had told her friends differently. “She told some of her friends at Child Haven that he really wanted to marry her off,” recalled Fred, noting even if children are living in Child Haven homes, their families still have the rights over them. “Bonnie knew something had to be done in attempt to rescue this girl from childhood marriage. So she said to the father, “well, I will send home all the children and your friend’s two children, unless you send your daughter back,” explained Fred. Bonnie’s plan worked. The girl came back to her Child Haven International home and she ended up getting her master’s degree and married the man of her choice. Since it was established, the organization has helped many lives and witnessed many successes. But Bonnie said she doesn’t think about organization’s success. “There is no time for that. We think about how we are going to get the money together to pay for this building or how are we going to get the money together to pay for education or for food. We don’t have time to look backwards, we always look forwards,” she said. To learn more about Child Haven International or to donate to the cause visit: http://www.childhaven.ca/

KFACC focuses on social media, sexual violence and youth during victims of crime awareness week By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – On October 10, 2012, 15 year-old Amanda Todd died by suicide. After years of struggling with depression and dealing with cyber bullying in multiple schools, Todd posted a video to Youtube about her struggles and then took her own life. Now, Todd’s mother Carol, still struggling with the death of her daughter, speaks at conferences about her experiences. She hopes that through sharing her story she can help prevent cyber bullying and maybe even save lives. “I think it is important to share my story because there are so many other families and professionals and kids out there that need to hear the full story and learn from my person experiences,� said Todd. “I think we learn best from personal experiences so if I can share that and help the message remain strong then I am going to do that.� Carol Todd was the keynote speaker at a recent conference in Kingston entitled ‘Social Media, Sexual Violence and Youth’. The conference was organized by the Kingston, Frontenac Anti-violence

Coordinating Committee (KFACC), a group that works to reduce domestic and sexual violence through training, awareness, education, and collaborative opportunities. This year, to recognize Victim’s Awareness Week, KFACC felt that it was time to focus on youth and really get to the bottom of why cyber bullying is such an issue. “I think the first step is naming it for what it is and not minimizing these behaviours by calling it sexting or youth bullying when in reality it is all sexual violence,� said Julie Lalonde, a public educator working with the Draw the Line campaign on topics of sexual violence prevention, specifically geared toward youth. “We also need to be speaking tangibly with young people, we can’t just tell them not to do it. There are other issues like coercion and the issues of bystanders. If you receive a naked photo text you have a choice to make, you can either continue to perpetuate the sexual violence or you can step up and say this is not okay.� Lalonde also spoke at the conference and while some find her approach quite jarring, her main objective is to educate youth on how to use the internet and social media effectively. It is clear that the internet is not

going anywhere, explained Lalonde, but youth really need to be taught how to use it as a positive and effective tool. Todd certainly echoed Lalonde’s points and urges parents to try to watch what their children are doing, but also urges them to learn to use the tools themselves. “Parents should be trying to monitor, although that is extremely difficult with a teenager, but parents need to learn how to use social media and see what it’s all about,� said Todd. “They don’t have to be experts, but they should know what Snapchat does and the potential damage it can do. Then they need to have conversations with their kids and their friends about what is appropriate and what isn’t and then be there as a support.� While both Lalonde and Todd acknowledge that these conversations and approaches are sometimes difficult, they are essential in making the internet a safe place for youth and for adults too. Many have suggested that cutting social media out of the lives of teenagers may be the best solution, but Lalonde thinks this would be a big mistake. “I think telling people to go off of social media is ridiculous and in this world that

we live in now, you have to have a presence online. When you interview for a job they look you up online to see how tech savvy you are or to see what your writing is like on your blog and if you don’t have that presence then you may lose that job,� explained Lalonde. “The idea to unplug and that will prevent these issues is the same as saying stay home from work if you are experiencing workplace sexual harassment.

We need to focus on educating and adapting responsibly, not shutting down.� Todd agrees with these ideas and adds that, “The biggest issue is getting kids to listen and getting their caregivers to listen. What happened to Amanda could happen to any kid and their family and we can’t ignore that. The issue is not just about social media, it is about how people treat each other and that really needs to change.�

Heritage Lifestyle – RearAdmiral Sir Robert Barrie served actively during the War of 1812, including a role as Commodore during the blockade of Chesapeake Bay along the American east coast. He later lived in Kingston, where, today, Barrie Street and the village of Barriefield bear his name. Likewise for the City of Barrie in southern Ontario. In 1820, the village was named Barriefield in honour of the commodore (later to become a rear-admiral). Among other accomplishments and duties, Barrie served as Commissioner of the Royal Navy Dockyards of Kingston. He held the responsibility for many major Royal Navy decisions affecting Canada. One of his projects was the expansion of the dockyards, which Barriefield overlooks. This year, Barriefield Village celebrates its 200th anniversary. An ad hoc committee of the Barriefield Village Association (BVA) has been working hard on plans for the anniversary. I recently met with members of the committee and residents of Barriefield, including Bob Cardwell, Barb Carr (chair of the committee), David Craig and Christine Sypnowich

(President of the BVA). “Much of Barriefield proper was owned by Richard Cartwright,” said Carr. “He decided it made sense to develop the town site and sell off lots to people working at the navy shipyards in 1814. Many of the homes were built while the War of 1812 still raged.” Cartwright, a highly successful businessman, was responsible for such services as making canvas for the Royal Navy during the war. Today, in the lovely village of Barriefield, some of the original homes remain on site. The village celebrations are running throughout the year, but, since most of the lots from 1814 have dates from June, the biggest celebrations are geared for a Heritage Fair on June 7. Another Daytripper column in May will highlight those festivities. The Heritage Fair will be an event not to be missed and will feature historical boats, carpenters, displays from the MacLachlan Woodworking Museum, a blacksmith, chair maker, window maker, and wagon rides. Organizers say that visitors are welcome, encouraged even, to attend in period costume. “We’re accustomed to seeing heritage properties that are quite grand and remarkable for their features,” said Sypnowich. “With

Barriefield, we have an entire community that forms a cultural heritage landscape. A variety of properties together make an interesting heritage landmark. That’s why it was the first area in Ontario designated as a Heritage Conservation District.” She explained that the original streetscape established by Cartwright in 1814 is still present. “The properties are fairly modest,” she said. “They’re on a small scale. Some of them had no running water until the 1970s. These would have been homes to ordinary folks, a lot of workers from the navy dockyards in the craftsman class.” Barriefield Village was on a transportation route connecting Kingston and Ottawa. Sir John A would have travelled through. Craig added that Barriefield was the site of a large military encampment with considerable shipbuilding going on. “The encampments would have predated Fort Henry as it appears today,” he said. An area bordering Barriefield became a military burial ground during a cholera epidemic in 1831 and 1832. It is reported that, although the burial site had to be located on military property, because of fear of contamination it

was located as far as possible from the military hospital, the fort and the dockyard. The site selected abutted Barriefield’s James Street. Perceptively noted in the Spring 2014 issue of the Pittsburgh Historical Society Newsletter: “The inhabitants of Barriefield were not a consideration in its location.” “One of the things about our celebrations this year is that we’d like to draw attention to the village for people from outside the village,” said Sypnowich. “We’d like to make Kingston more aware that it has a designated Heritage Village,” said Carr. “This is Kingston’s Heritage Village. There are so many distinctive buildings.” She noted that Heritage Canada has given Barriefield a grant, from the Community Anniversaries Fund, to help with this year’s celebrations. The next event in the anniversary celebrations will be a presentation by Pierre du Prey, Architecture in the Classical Tradition Comes to Barriefield, on April 29. The Historical Society’s current newsletter notes that du Prey has maintained his interests in local and global architecture since coming to teach architectural history at Queen’s University 43 years ago. He is also a resi-

dent of Barriefield and a founding member of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation. In September, Barriefield will be the site of a plein air painting weekend, hosted by the Kingston School of Art. “It’s in conjunction with the International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Artist Paint Out,” Carr said. “It’s an ideal spot to celebrate a 19th century village, with distinct boundaries, that’s still pretty intact.” “Heritage is a rather fragile thing,” said Sypnowich. “One thing we think is a benefit [of our anniversary celebrations] is a consciousness raising of our Heritage Designation.” Cardwell added that Barriefield Village and Kingston’s Market Square are the city’s two current Heritage Conservation Districts. “Barriefield is unique in the region and further afield,” he said. “Our entire village is designated.” “And it’s still a village,” said Carr. “This is real.” Members of the ad hoc group pointed out that things like the Barriefield Rock Garden were created by volunteers. “Our designation is being updated,” said Sypnowich. “One of

the things to consider is the rock garden. It wasn’t included in the original plan. The good folks of Barriefield note that their location wasn’t promoted as part of the World Heritage Site designation that includes Fort Henry and the Rideau Canal. “We’re right between the UNESCO World Heritage areas,” said Carr. “But Barriefield wasn’t included in the designation, yet it was part of the defensive plans. The village was full of craftsmen, soldiers and canal workers all tied in to [the World Heritage Site].” Cardwell said that another unique aspect of the village plan was that it included street names and identified lots, so it wouldn’t grow topsy-turvy. Street names include George Street (Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost; 1767-1816), James Street (Commodore James Lucas Yeo; 1782-1818), Regent Street (for the Prince Regent, George Augustus Frederick; 17621830), Wellington Street (Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington; 1769-1852) and Drummond Street (Lieutenant General Sir Gordon Drummond; 1772-1854). “And for whatever reason, Barriefield became a real hub for the boatbuilding industry,” said Cardwell. “On a per capita basis,

Rear-Admiral Sir Robert Barrie (1724-1841), a painting by Cecil Jameson for the Royal Military College of Canada, 1967. there were far more boatbuilders in Barriefield that there were in Kingston. And a lot of boaters started their careers here. Even one of the Aykroyd’s, Samuel, had a store here.” He said that the cash book from the shop, which went back seven generations, still exists.

Got an idea? Need a Market? Who you gonna call? GrindSpaceXL By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News – Sav Stratis and Dr. Jason Riley knew that they had a great product to offer the public with the hematoma detector Riley invented. The handheld device can quickly and easily be used to detect bleeding on the brain of a person who has experienced a head injury, greatly increasing the odds of the victim’s life being saved if in fact there is bleeding present. What they needed were the tools to market the product to potential investors. Enter GrindSpaceXL, an Ottawa-based organization that runs programs teaching startup companies the most effective ways of presenting their products and services to the world. From the end of January to mid-March, GrindSpaceXL ran a 12-week program for local entrepreneurs, including Stratis and Riley, at Innovation Park. GrindSpace was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Innovation Park, Thales, Launch Lab, Invest Ottawa and KEDCO and was

supported by funding through the National Research Council of Canada’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP). “We’ve run [the program] four times but this is our first time of taking it outside of Ottawa,” said GrindSpace co-founder Andrew Jackson. “It’s been very exciting.” Each week, a different topic relevant to entrepreneurs interested in growth opportunities was covered. “We help them with sales skills to help them get their first customers and be more effective generally from that stand point, how to develop business partnerships with other companies, how to identify their target market, how to develop business partnerships with other companies,” explained Jackson. “We also have a component that helps them get investor-ready. All sorts of things, really, you name it.” Stratis, who is president of the company VitaPharma, which supplies U.S. manufactured biological buffers and custom solutions for the life sciences industry, said he and Riley learned a lot from the GrindSpace program.

“I run my own company and this participate in advancing innovation is unique in that it’s got R&D opportunity [with Riley] came in and helping to commercialize infrastructure and it’s got a lot of so we ran with it. It’s been a great discoveries and to get them to gathering space infrastructure and a experience in terms of seeing like- market,” she said. “This facility variety of resources.” minded people. It’s helped prepare us in terms of pitching to people and investors.” Stratis added that the experience was also great for building excitement about business and entrepreneurial spirit. “What I’ve learned is that there is money out there for ideas, and there’s government money out there. But it’s all competitive and a lot of it seems to be being in the right place at the right time. You need to network. You need to be speaking to everybody, doing presentations, sharpening up some of the skills that maybe I didn’t have before or wasn’t as good at. I learned that there are a lot of likeminded people out there that can push ideas along.” Janice Mady, director of industry partnerships and Innovation Park, says that this is exactly the sort of initiative they want to see happening From left, GrindSpaceXL co-founder Elza Seregelyi, VitaPharma’s Sav at Innovation Park. “The innovation ecosystem Stratis, inventor Jason Riley and GrindSpaceXL co-founder Andrew Photo:/Hollie Pratt-Campbell includes many different players to Jackson.

How open windows benefit the environment Warm days full of sunshine give homeowners good reason to open windows and let fresh air into their homes. Not only can open windows boost mood and create an inviting living space, but open windows also can be good for the environment. * Open windows improve indoor air quality. Indoor air pollution has been described by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a primary environmental health problem. Indoor air quality can be up to five times worse than outdoor air. In addition, the American College of Allergists states that 50 percent of all illnesses are caused by polluted indoor air. Because many homes are built to be air-tight to conserve energy and money, unhealthy levels of air pollutants can build up inside homes when windows remain closed. These pollutants may include radon gas, cigarette smoke, chemical fumes from paints and solvents and leached chemicals from modern building and furnishing materials. Opening windows for extended periods of time allows fresh air to spread throughout the home. Houseplants can also filter indoor air and make it healthier to breathe. * Open windows reduce energy consumption. A cool breeze entering a home through open windows can reduce the temperature inside of a home without having to turn on fans or air conditioners. This not only helps individuals save money, but also it reduces reliance on electricity and fossil fuels. Opening several windows on opposite sides of the home can create a cross-breeze that will keep the home cool without the help of energyguzzling appliances. Open attic vents can release hot air trapped inside the house as well. * Open windows reduce reliance on chemical air fresheners. Fresh air can quickly remove odors from a home. These can include old cooking

smells, cigarette smoke, pet odors, or simply stale air. By opening windows, homeowners can clean the air in their homes naturally without covering it up with chemical air fresheners or other cleaners. The fresh air itself may simply smell good, or this pleasant aroma can be enhanced by blooming flowers or other natural scents from outdoors. * Open windows cut down on use of cleaning products. A home that never gets any fresh air can quickly succumb to allergens such as dust, dander and soot, necessitating the use of vacuums and other cleaning tools and products. But open windows can greatly reduce the buildup of such allergens, and therefore reduce reliance on appliances that guzzle energy or products that release harmful chemicals into the air. Open windows allow fresh air to flow throughout a home, improving personal health and benefitting the environment at the same time.

How to inspect for roof damage tion. This will let you know if water has been entering the attic all winter. Pay attention to the location of any wet spots or stains so you can match them up to the exterior of the roof later on. Musty smells also may be indicative of moisture problems, even if there are no visible leaks. * Inspect the roof outside. Grab a set of binoculars and inspect the exterior of the roof. Look at the roof flashing, including around the chimney and other areas of protruding pipes and vents. If the flashing is warped or damaged, moisture might be settling underneath. Sealant around dormers or skylights can also degrade, resulting in leaks. Check for spalling on masonry, such as the mortar of chimneys. Porous areas will allow water to infiltrate. * Go directly on the roof and check. Work with a partner and carefully climb on the roof while someone holds the ladder below. Walk on the perimeter of the roof, looking for peeling or warped shingles, missing shingles, holes, or scrapes. If the roof is compromised in any way, it will need to be repaired. The problem will only grow more significant and repairs more expensive if damage is ignored. Sometimes a repair can be as simple as patching a leak with a new

shingle and roofing cement. Popped nails can be pounded down and any curled shingles can be nailed or cemented back into place. * Consult a roofing expert. If you are unsure if your roof has made it through the winter unscathed and would like a second opinion or if you find there is considerable damage, contact a roofing contractor. This person will offer a pro-

fessional assessment of what can be repaired or if the roof should be replaced. If your roof is metal or features clay tiles, you may not have the expertise to make repairs yourself and will need to hire a professional. * Check the gutters, too. While you are up on the roof, inspect the gutters and downspouts as well. Cracked or damage gutters will cause water to leak

Many homeowners do not think twice about their roofs. But when leaks develop, roof repairs and the subsequent costs of such work shed light on how important it is for homeowners to pay closer attention to the roofs over their heads. Though certain roof issues, like shingles lost to inclement weather, are unforeseeable, many problems can be avoided with routine roof inspection. Checking roof conditions twice a year can help homeowners avoid potentially costly repair work or even more expensive roof replacement projects. Spring is a good time to inspect roofs, which are often at the mercy of harsh conditions throughout the winter. Heavy snow, ice and biting winds can do significant damage, making spring the perfect time to assess if any such damage occurred and address any issues. * Start the inspection in the interior of the home. Before breaking out the ladder and climbing up to the roof, inspect the home’s interior, pinpointing potential problems that may indicate roof damage. Check for stains on the ceiling which may indicate leaks that need to be addressed. Homeowners with attics should enter their attics and look for signs of water damage, making note of any damp or wet insula-

Basketball Falcons embrace ‘misfit’ label By Mark Kerr Reporter

Heritage Sports -- Aidan Stride, Dylan Patterson and Carter Matheson – the leaders of the Frontenac Falcons senior boys’ basketball team – laugh when told their squad looks like it was assembled on the ‘island of misfit toys.’ They don’t dispute the characterization. This wasn’t a team of roundball specialists. There were football players, soccer players, and players who hadn’t even attended Frontenac the year before. Early in the season, the team had about as much momentum as a toy train with square wheels on its caboose. In-

stead of waiting for a benevolent basketball Santa to save them, though, the misfits took it upon themselves to turn around their season. The result: a city title and a trip to the Ontario AAA championship. “We did not have the talent and skill (of previous seasons), but we did have a lot of heart,” said Stride, the team’s starting point guard. “We bought-in to working hard and rebounding.” The Falcons found themselves deep in the December doldrums, getting blown out of several tournament games and suffering a 22-point loss to La Salle in league play on Dec. 17. “Once La Salle destroyed us, it made

of the Charlie the Cat

Charlie came to the shelter through no fault of his own. He was surrendered with another cat and would likely enjoy the company of other cats. Charlie was quite shy when he was first settling into the shelter, but is slowly coming out of his shell. He is a very sweet, quiet cat and very affectionate once he feels comfortable. Charlie is a handsome orange tabby who is about two years old and already neutered. Charlie is eligible for our VIP program so his adoption fee will be reduced by 25 per cent.

us realize there was competition and we would have to up our game if we are going to win,” Patterson said. The Falcons returned from the Christmas break refreshed, turning in a couple of strong practices ahead of their home tournament. They knocked off La Salle in that competition and never looked back, winning every game until the Ontario championship. “It’s the first time in my 14 years of coaching at Frontenac that a team has gone from that stage, the lowest of the low, to winning a championship and having a special season,” said head coach Suche James. What got the team to that point? Team chemistry, according to James. He said a special trust developed among the players as well as between the

coaches and the players. They pushed each other to the limit in practice but didn’t allow that intensity to impact their relationships off the court. The work in the gym eventually paid off in the win column. “(Assistant coach Jason) Wimmer said no one was going to make us any better other than ourselves and how hard we go in practice. Once we bought-in to that idea, everyone was going as hard as we could,” Patterson said. James and his coaching staff used those practices to adjust their system on the fly. Talk of changing things became a reality immediately after the La Salle loss. They developed a system that would rely on the strengths of the experienced players while incorporating the inexperienced cagers. After being coaching adversaries for years, long-time friends James and Wimmer joined forces this season.

Wimmer, the former coach of LCVI, served as an assistant along with Andy Ledoux. “I learn a ton every season because of the people I coach with. This year, we talked about things I hadn’t talked about before. The chemistry with the coaching staff was as good as it was between the players. We learned a lot from each other and we were able to translate that to the kids,” James said. Stride said he will carry the friendships with him more so than the victories. “I will just remember the teammates. It was such a close knit group of guys and there was never a conflict. We all got along but also pushed each other. We were good friends by the end of it.” Do you know a young athlete or team that should be profiled in our High School Athlete of the Week column?

UP IN MY GRILL

The Bee’s Knees By Kate Kristiansen Columnist

Up in My Grill - Honeybees are important to our food supply. A surprising amount of our wellbeing relies on these underappreciated insects, but bees are dying off at unprecedented rate. Local beekeeper Tom Kaemmer has been raising bees for over 35 years. Currently he is retired, but still manages a small production of

approximately 100 hives that produce the brand Toba, a delicious golden honey. I’m a honey lover; most mornings I slather a piece of toast with the sweet goodness, alongside a cup of tea. Once you discover the difference in taste in each droplet of his organically produced honey, there is no compromise. This long winter can’t come to a close fast enough for this beekeeper. “The bees have been in a torpor

state for some time,” says Kaemmer. Torpor refers to the sleeping state the bees are in during the winter months. “The bees are breathing and vibrate to keep warm. During the day, even at zero degrees they will leave the hive to stretch and flutter about,” explained Tom Kaemmer. “Bees are very clean. Fleeing the hive during the day is incredibly essential to all. Older bees will leave and die off. Young ones head back to their queen after a

short break away.” He explains that worker bees are attracted to the queen bee’s signature pheromone, which means they will always go back home to mama. Pheromones can be secreted to trigger behaviors in all different animals. In the case of the bees, they to entice males back to the hives (their territory) and warn other females to back off and not lay eggs there. In the fall, Tom Kaemmer packs the bees. “I wrap the bees with a blanket,” he explained. “It’s almost like a warm sock around the hives,

with two small entrances for them to use.” Any day now, when the snow disappears, Tom will head to his bee yards to check on the insects. “This is an important time. The queen bees are laying their eggs. If we have another cold spell they may die off. The queen will not leave her eggs for anything. If she dies, the colony will die.” The best place for a bee yard is on a south-facing slope, protected from the wind and next to a good pasture. From August through to the end of October, Tom will collect the honey boxes and take them to his honey house. He keeps the honey house heated using a wood fire and dehumidifier. The bees remove most of the moisture. Tom will remove the caps from the top of the frames and begin to extract the honey. It is then processed through a different tank and strained through a government-certified cloth material into a heated container for retail use. A typical uniform for Tom Kaemmer is a t-shirt and shorts. Has he been stung? “On occasion,” he said, “but really it’s not so bad after the pain subsides. It’s a warm tingly feeling and you swell up a bit.” When asked if that is his biggest fear, he said, “No, my biggest fear is losing the bees.” Continued on page 38

The Bee’s Knees Continued from page 36

He and other local beekeepers are increasingly worried about the decline in bees. They’ve written to Premier Kathleen Wynn to encourage her to terminate the further use of neonicotinoids. These pesticides are currently banned in Europe, but not in Canada. Over 80 per cent of Canadian crops, which make up to a third our food supply, are affected by this decline in the bee population. Some bee keepers are reporting losses of 90 to 100 per cent of their bees. Ontario beekeepers have had to bring in Australian queen bees to support their hives. Their seasons are opposite to ours, so they are already beginning to produce eggs when they arrive. Most Canadian bees are descended from European bees and are gentle in nature. Recently, beekeepers began trying to introduce a heartier bee that is mite resistant. The Varroa mite infestation, next to neonicotinoids, is the leading cause of the decline in the bee population. “A queen bee will usually last one to two seasons. If you are lucky, maybe longer,” said Kaemmer. “When I get a new queen, I transfer some worker bees to a new hive and have them work together. It’s a delicate process, but it works.” Commercial beekeepers look to plant farms that assist bees with pollinating, such as those with fields of buckwheat to support their bees. “I would stand up for any local beekeeper,” said Kaemmer. “They are producing quality

honey.” The average person can also help support the bee population by planting clovers, bergamot, mint, lilacs and even leaving dandelions and other weeds to sprout. “I farm on my property and for the past five to six years also on the Groeneweagan farm at Limestone Creamery,” said Kaemmer. “There are benefits to both of us. The bees assist with crop development and the diversity of their pastures supports the bees. Francis Groeneweagn, owner of the Limestone Creamery will allow his second cut of stock to flower, which benefits the bees immensely.” Kathie and Francis Groeneweagn and their children, Olivia and Patrick, opened the Limestone Creamery in 2012. Their farm is pesticide and herbicide free and their animals are given no antibiotics or GMOs. The honey farmed here is like liquid gold. “I hate to predict the future of the bees,” said Tom. “It’s like someone cutting a hole in the side of your body and it never gets to heal.” We can only hope that there is a change soon, in time to save the bees. Toba Apiary produces raw, unpasteurized liquid honey. It is available to purchase from Tara Natural Foods, downtown Kingston at 81 Princess Street and the Limestone Creamery at 3127 Sydenham Road.

Smarter. Bolder. Faster. 2 The EMC Real Estate Guide - Thursday, April 17, 2014

The basics of property taxes on spending $8,400 per year. Statistics indicate that homes located in Ontario cities in central Canada have the highest property taxes. Toronto residents, for example, pay an average of $3,900. In this tough economy, lowering property taxes (which are generally rolled into the mortgage amount for ease of payment) could substantially reduce bills. As many as 60 percent of properties across the United States are overassessed, according to the National Taxpayers Union, a nonprofit group that promotes lower taxes. If you suspect your property taxes are high, here are the steps to take. • Get a copy of your property tax assessment from the local assessor’s office and double-check all the information contained to see if it is correct. • Check the assessments of five comparable homes that have sold in your neighborhood in the last three years. • An independent appraiser can also provide you accurate information at a cost. Make sure he or she is licensed with the National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers or by the American Society of Appraisers. • It’s not possible to lower the property tax rate, just the assessed value of the home through an official appeal. There may be fees associated with this appeal, however.

Some home improvements will increase the value of your home and, in turn, your property taxes. Here are some of the most common culprits: • extra stories to the home • outhouses, like a guest house • sports courts, like tennis • installation of an inground pool • improvements to fencing • addition of a garage or another room on the home

Carpet free, newer shingles 2012, some fencing updated 2013.... Great location - between Kingston and Napanee. Directions just west of Cty Road 7, north side of Cty Road 2

A change in the status of a neighborhood can also give rise to higher property taxes. An influx of new residents or new construction of stores and homes can have a major effect on the assessed value of your home. BROKER

Paying property taxes is a necessary side effect of home ownership. Across the United States and Canada, residents are required to pay property taxes based on an assessment of their homes’ value. Taxes on land and the buildings on it are one of the biggest sources of revenue for local governments. In the United States, property taxes are not imposed by the states, but by the smaller governing bodies in cities, towns, townships, counties, and other jurisdictions. In Canada, property taxes, or millage taxes, are levied by the jurisdiction in which the property is located. They may be paid to a federated state or a municipality or the national government. Sometimes multiple jurisdictions may tax the same property. Although the taxes are mandated by a higher governing power, the rate at which you pay taxes could be based on a very local assessment of the area in which your house is located and the current market conditions. An assessor will visit a home -- usually prior to purchase -- and make a determination on the percentage of tax to be paid depending on the condition of the home, the improvements that have been made and the climate of the economy in your particular town or city. Property taxes are usually calculated by taking the assessed value of your home and multiplying it by the tax rate that has been determined by your local government. While no one can “legally” escape paying property taxes, there are several ways to have them lowered. Getting your home re-assessed is one such way. Individuals who have reached a certain age may be eligible for certain discounts on property taxes. But this may require a very low income to qualify. There are also some tax credits or homestead exemptions that may qualify you for a limited assessed value on the property. According to data from the Tax Foundation and Forbes, areas of New Jersey, New York and Illinois boast some of the highest property taxes. Residents of Hunterdon County, New Jersey paid on average $8,600 a year between 2005 and 2009. Those in Lake County, Illinois pay around $6,500.

Renovating a rental property One such business is rental agencies or property management companies. Even landlords with a single investment property tend to do better during a recession, when individuals might be fearful of buying a home or simply unable to afford it. Such individuals still need a place to live, however, and landlords benefit as a result. One of the best things a landlord can do during a recession is to pay more attention to their rental properties, ensuring the properties are in tip-top shape so they can get the most out of each unit at a time when the rental market is most competitive. This might require some renovations, which landlords should be making periodically anyway, regardless of how strong or tenuous the economy might be. * Update the paint. Apartments are typically empty when shown to prospective renters, and any issues with the paint job are very noticeable during such viewings. If the paint is outdated or there is any fading, update the walls with a fresh coat of paint. It’s ideal to do so whenever a tenant moves out, but landlords whose buildings have a high turnover rate likely won’t need to repaint every time a tenant moves out. When adding a new coat of paint, choose a light, neutral color to give the property a fresh, inviting look.

R0012653355

* Replace the carpeting. Carpeting is another area prospective renters are instantly drawn to when viewing an apartment. New carpeting is always attractive to potential tenants, and landlords won’t have to break the bank to replace the carpets when an existing tenant moves out. Instead of expensive carpeting, choose a medium grade carpet

with a neutral color, ideally beige or light brown, which can hide spills or stains should the next tenant prove messy and move out after the original lease terms are up. Before laying carpet, don’t forget to lay down quality padding underneath. Such padding makes the carpet feel softer and of higher quality. * Upgrade the appliances. Perhaps nothing evokes a stronger response from prospective renters than a property’s appliances. Outdated appliances make renters speculate as to what else might be outdated and if the building is well taken care of. On the other hand, newer appliances, particularly stainless steel items, create a contemporary feel and give the impression, true or false, that a landlord won’t allow the building to grow dated or fall into disrepair. When shopping for appliances, choose ones that are more basic so any eventual repairs won’t be too complicated or costly. Newer appliances enable landlords to charge more rent for a given property, and many renters would agree that such properties are worth the extra money. * Install new windows. Older buildings tend to have creaky or drafty windows, which not only makes the property colder during the winter months, but it also drives up utility costs as renters are forced to turn up the thermostat to combat drafts and cold air entering the unit. New windows can eliminate such drafts and reduce utility costs, something landlords can use to their advantage when discussing the property with potential tenants. Landlords might even be able to earn tax breaks when installing new, energy-efficient windows. Discuss if any such breaks exist with the local municipality. When it comes to renovating a rental property, landlords can make a handful of small renovations that, while relatively inexpensive, enable them to earn substantially more money from each unit over Relatively minor renovations to rental properties can earn landlords substantially more money over the course of a typical lease the long haul.

Make Entertaining the Focal Point of Kitchen Design ing it easier for guests to easily traverse the kitchen. One island can be set up with a prep sink and wine cooler, while the other can feature a countertop-mounted induction stovetop for convenience and safety. A few tall stools around the back of one island can provide seating while prepping, or for simple conversation. • Company cleanup: Think about large sinks that can accommodate tall pots and pans, such as a double-basin apron sink. Drawerstyle dishwashers can be installed so that delicate china and glassware can be washed separately from grimy pots. This segregated style means homeowners can save money by washing smaller loads as needed. • Gathering niche: A butler’s pantry or another alcove equipped with beverage center enables guests to gather in an area away from the main cooking and preparation space. • Breakfast nook: Cozy banquette seating nestled next to a picture window is a great spot for earlymorning coffee or when overnight guests trickle down for a hearty breakfast. Decorative brick or stone -- or even a fireplace next to the nook -- completes the warm and fuzzy feel of the area. • Large table: Homeowners who do a lot of hosting can benefit from a table that seats many. Purchase a large table or one that can be expanded with a drop-in leaf. • Hidden appliances: The kitchen should be decorated according to homeowners’ preferences. Key

“No matter where I serve my guests, it seems they like my kitchen best.” This saying has adorned wall plaques in many people’s kitchens, and for most individuals the sentiment is quite true. The kitchen tends to be the gathering place for the family. When thinking about renovating the kitchen, it pays to have entertaining in mind. It is widely known that improvements to kitchens and bathrooms often reap the greatest return on investment. When making changes to the kitchen, paying attention to the trend of kitchen entertaining can make the room even more valuable -- should a homeowner choose to sell at a later point in time. Gearing renovations around kitchen entertaining also can make the space desirable for current homeowners. Here are some renovation decisions to consider that can make the kitchen an ideal gathering spot for family and friends. • Space: The best kitchens for entertaining are roomy and feature an open floor plan. For homeowners who have limited space, the first decision may be to expand the kitchen by building an extension on the home or taking down a wall. Many homeowners find that spacious eat-in-kitchens are preferable over a small kitchen and formal dining area. So if a dining room abuts the kitchen, remove the wall to create a large kitchen space. • Multiple islands: Instead of one large island, consider two islands. They are less cumbersome, mak-

appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators and even ovens can be masked with cabinet facing, so they blend right into the rest of the cabinetry. A larger refrigerator with features for entertaining, such as room for platters or bakery cakes, is ideal for the host and hostess. A separate beverage

drawer eliminates the need to open the refrigerator repeatedly, plus it’s at a great height for kids looking for juice boxes. • Lighting: Homeowners should consider many different lighting sources. Pendant lights over islands illuminate these work stations. Recessed lighting under

cabinets can brighten countertop areas that tend to be dark. A chandelier or bold fixture over the table shows off the amazing meal. Because the kitchen is such a gathering spot, renovations to this room should reflect how much foot traffic and use the kitchen gets.

Looking forward to working with you!

Factors that might hurt a home’s value Nowadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with. But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well. * Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value. Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. * Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale

value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster. * Size and style: Another thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attentiongrabber, but that’s not always attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle of a street filled with contemporary homes will stand out, but likely for all the wrong reasons. It will likely appear dated and out of place, which is something buyers might not want. In addition, if the home is considerably larger or smaller than the surrounding homes, then this could hurt its value. *Non-conformity: In many ways, conformity is not considered an admirable trait. But when selling a home, confor-

mity could make the difference between a home selling quickly or remaining on the market for months if not years. When shopping for a home, buyers often shop in certain neighborhoods and towns and might see many different homes within a given ZIP code. Homeowners with homes that don’t conform to others in the area might find it difficult to sell their homes. For instance, homeowners trying to sell a two bedroom home in a neighborhood filled with three bedroom homes might notice their home’s value is not as high as that of surrounding homes, regardless of the neighborhood or how similar the home’s exterior is to surrounding homes. * Age: Older homes might have character and a sense of nostalgia, but appraisers take age into consideration when determining a home’s value. And buyers tend to lean toward newer homes for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the feeling that newer homes have far more modern amenities than older homes. When it comes to a home’s value, there are a host of things that could ultimately increase or decrease that value in the eyes Selling a home isn’t always so easy of prospective buyers.
