City to study P3 model to finance third bridge crossing project
By Bill Hutchins
News – Wanting a bridge is one thing. Affording it is another. The City of Kingston is partnering with Infrastructure Ontario to help develop a business plan for the construction of a third bridge crossing over the Cataraqui River. The plan is expected to outline various financing options to build the 1.1 kilometre transportation link connecting John Counter Blvd. and Gore Road – located about midway between the existing crossings at LaSalle Causeway and Highway 401. “This is a big project,” observed Mayor Bryan Paterson. “In order to make this project shovel ready we have to do our homework.” Council voted 9-4 to hire Infrastructure Ontario at a cost of $80,000. Councillors Mary Rita Holland, Rob Hutchison, Jeff McLaren and Jim Neill were opposed. Affording the much-touted bridge project, pegged at $120 million to $150 million by some estimates, could ultimately hinge on how it gets built. Staff say the provincial crown corporation has extensive experience guiding large public infrastructure projects, from public transit and highways to hospitals, using traditional publicly funded design-build contracts or the non-traditional financing model of a public-private partnership.
The so-called P3 model, currently used to construct Kingston’s Providence Care Hospital, involves the private sector providing at least three of five project factors; design, build, finance, operate and maintain. Staff say Infrastructure Ontario will examine whether a P3 model fits with the bridge project, or whether the traditional design-build approach that is wholly funded by public money is better. “Infrastructure Ontario has considerable ‘in-house’ expertise to help analyze and evaluate, in a non-biased and objective manner, both traditional and non-traditional project delivery models,” said city engineering director Mark Van Buren in his April 19 report to council. The business plan analysis is expected to be completed in the spring of 2017. The city is also moving forward with a separate contract with J.L. Richards to come up with a preliminary bridge design. J.L. Richards will provide a raft of details concerning what the two-lane bridge will look like, plus design details for cycling lanes and mid-bridge lookout points, technical details such as how many pillars are required to support the structure, and construction techniques to minimize its Choreographer Kay Kenney, seated, watches, from left, Melissa Prince, Emma Chen, Cristina Goncalves, and Naimpact on the river. tasha Prytulka in rehearsal for “initially/(un)conditionally”.

J.L. Richards will also lead consultation with various stakeholders including Parks Canada, stewards of the UNESCO world heritage Rideau Canal waterway, plus other government departments and aboriginal groups. The same firm completed the
original environmental assessment that outlined the need for a third crossing. Other components of the ‘shovel ready’ strategy include an in-house study of various funding sources that include local taxes; user fees; development charges and government grants; and a social-economic cost-
benefit analysis that will be done by Collins Barrow Infrastructure Advisory Group. “The model will develop, quantify and monetize various socio-economic factors such as travel time, harmful gas emissions (e.g. greenhouse gases, air contaminants, and volatile organic compounds), vehicular accidents, vehicular operational expenses, response times for emergency services, and other socio-
economic factors,” Van Buren explained. Councillors sought assurances the studies will involve public input and consultation. Van Buren says open houses are slated for this September and early next year to gather public feedback before the final reports are presented to council. The raft of ‘shovel ready’ studies, costing about $3 million, point to April 2017 as a crucial date on council’s calendar. Critical reports on bridge design,
who should build it, and how the city can afford it will help councillors decide whether to move to the final phase of awarding contracts for the actual bridge construction, or to shelve the entire project. Critics say they’re eager to challenge the need for the bridge, which they call a ‘span to sprawl,’ based on traffic demands, alternative transportation solutions, population growth trends and overall affordability. As the mayor observed: “This is one of the biggest issues we’ll deal with as a council.”

Library Board bows to public pressure, shelves ‘discriminatory’ Code of Conduct and promises consultation brary’s new Code of Conduct was meant to exclude marginalized community members including the homeless. A dozen members of the public made statements to the Board, including Julia Bryan of Libraries are for Everyone. “Libraries are public spaces, and should be safe for everyone, regardless of income, or mental or physical wellness,” Bryan told the Board. “We believe that new sections of your code of conduct are built on negative stereotypes that stigmatize homelessness, poverty, mental illness. When stigma finds its way into policy and practice, it becomes discrimination and
By Aric McBay
Over 100 community members demanded the Kingston Frontenac Public Library revise its new Code of Conduct at a meeting of the Library Board on April 27. And the community got what it wanted. The meeting had such a large attendance that, even after it had been reassigned a larger room, all chairs were filled and some people had to stand outside the doors to listen. Many had signs with messages like “Libraries are for everyone.” The community was responding to concerns raised last week that the Li-
injustice.” Bryan asked the Library to engage in community consultation, and to provide “authentic anti-oppression and mental health first aid training for library staff and volunteers.” On behalf of Libraries are for Everyone, she also asked them to create a “vulnerable persons committee” to give input on an ongoing basis. Matt Silburn acknowledged that the Library did not create the problems of homelessness and poverty, which represent a failure of other levels of government. Regardless, he said, “everyone needs to be welcome, safe, and treated with dignity, regardless of the number of bags they have, how clean they smell, or which services they appear to be using or not using.” Many people rejected the Library’s reasoning that a recent sexual assault in the library justified excluding people who are not well-dressed. Michelle LaMarche, Director of the Sexual Assault Centre Kingston, said the Library’s approach was “discriminatory and exclusionary.” Silburn read a letter from Deb Kinder
of HIV AIDS Regional Services. Kinder warned against the “assumptions, myths, and stereotypes” in the new Code of Conduct and the assumption that only poorlydressed people would commit sexual assault. To the contrary, Kinder argued, marginalized people are actually more vulnerable, and sexual assaults are more likely to be committed by people with status like teachers, priests, coaches, and celebrities. She condemned the Library’s promotion of “dangerous and discriminatory myths.” As members of the public, Kinder said: “We do not want our money to be spent on discrimination and oppression.” Local business owner Justine Scala argued that the Library, as public space, should be welcome to all since even her private business, Minotaur, welcomes people who loiter. “This is what being a member of the community is: recognizing that every other person in this city is a member of our community.” Matthew Gventer asked how the new policy was created in the first place, and

suggested the Library Board should do some soul-searching: “We can’t go back to business as usual. You look at this room and see so many people who are appalled at what happened. We have to ask: how did that happen?” While some Board members were visibly uncomfortable with the experience, a few were happy with the public mobilization. Board member Judith Brown, a person of colour, said: “Speaking as someone from a marginalized group, I want you all to know the warm feeling you have brought to me. I know that I have people out there in the community who would support me and my people.” To the consternation of some audience members, Board Chair Claudette Richardson left the meeting for a live CBC radio interview while members of the public were still giving their statements. In addition to public input at the meeting, many people wrote letters to the Library Board asking them to cancel or revise the new policy. “I think we’ve gotten a hundred or more letters,” said Board member and Kingston City Councillor Jim Neill, “and I haven’t received word from anyone that they favour the policy.” Neill put forward a motion, seconded by Annie Peace-Fast, to shelve the new code of conduct while public consultation took place. The motion was passed promptly and unanimously. The Library Board has promised to begin formal consultation as soon as possible. The previous Code of Conduct, which begins with the words “Everyone is welcome at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library,” will remain in place while this happens. “We’re pleased with the Board’s decision, but there’s still a lot of work to do,” said Julia Bryan. “We look forward to being part of an inclusive consultation process that includes patrons, staff, and community organizations.”

All hope is not lost: Council should lend its clout to Marine Museum discussions By Bill Hutchins
some councillors, who questioned how any developer could recoup the investment from a contaminated property scarred from its industrial history. “I was a bit flummoxed anyone would pay that but perhaps the developer knows something I don’t,” said Coun. Rob Hutchison at the time of the purchase. Mayor Bryan Paterson was also right to express cautious optimism at the time of the sale, not knowing how the new landlord-tenant talks would go. Museum officials, who sound totally disheartened and frustrated with the owner, complain few other museums have to pay such exorbitant rent. With no lifeline in sight, they are ready to set sail for somewhere else – even if they can’t afford to free the retired coast guard icebreaker Alexander Henry exhibit from its fixed dry dock berth. It would, indeed, be a tragic loss for tourism in this city to lose the iconic image of that big red boat in the dry dock. But all hope is not lost. The 120-day notice period may yet lead to more productive cost-sharing talks and less posturing. As a steward of culture in a city where ‘history and innovation thrive,’ council needs to lend its clout to discussions to try and keep the museum where it is. The question is whether taxpayers should boost their annual $65,000 operating grant to help cover the museum’s higher rent, or whether the city can offer the owner something else?
“The Brownfields program is something we could bring to the table but we’d be looking for something in return for that,” said Mayor Paterson last January. With so much at stake, MP Mark Gerretsen and MPP Sophie Kiwala also need to get involved in this dispute, and
figure out whether the government can float the museum a more sustainable funding assistance. If a solution isn’t found soon, the museum and its big boat are bound to weigh anchor in the middle of the tourism season.

Editorial – And so it’s come to this. One of Kingston’s best-known museums could be on the move, perhaps to another city location or somewhere else in the province, due to a landlord-tenant squabble. The Marine Museum of the Great Lakes has operated out of the renovated historic museum building and dry dock at 55 Ontario Street since 1975. To many visitors, it seemed like a perfect fit. What better way to showcase Great Lakes maritime history than from a prime and historic waterfront vantage point? Problem is, the museum never owned its perfect site. The federal government did. Terms of the rent payments were sweet for a long time. The city actually leased the federal property and charged the museum a token amount for the sub-lease. As a charitable corporation, the museum operated on revenues of $343,000 in 2014 from a mix of government assistance, private donations and other grants. But the long-standing lease arrangement was put into question when federal divestiture led to the property being sold to local developer Jay Patry for just over $3 million in January. The resulting stormy landlord-tenant relationship is based on the owner’s desire for a new deal on costsharing. The museum understandably balked at upping its $2 annual rent to something north of $200,000, according to museum board chair Chris West.
After just a few months of fruitless negotiations, the museum has been given 120 days’ notice to vacate the premises with the pending termination of its lease that was supposed to last until the end of 2016, according to West, who called it a “tragic loss for marine history in Kingston.” It means they have to move lock, stock and boat by Aug. 23. The hard ball tactic, which amounts to eviction, may not win Patry many friends at city hall as he looks to redevelop the Brownfield site in the future. But, as a property owner with bills to pay while facing a reluctant museum board, he seemed to have few choices. What a shame for the city. What a loss for tourism. City councillors knew this day might come. That’s why they approved a motion in early 2015 to create a $50,000 emergency fund to help with the museum’s relocation expenses (a token amount considering the assembled mass collection of thousands of artefacts, books, ship plans and images that would have to be moved and stored to archival standards). The city had the first right of refusal to buy the 1.5 hectare marine museum property, 1890s dry dock and nearby deep water dock, but declined the $1 “as is” offer due to the uncertain risk to taxpayers of undertaking building repairs and on-site remediation, estimated as high as $19 million. Patry’s firm won the competitive bidding process. The amount paid for the site puzzled

An ode to Mom(s)
It’s May, and that means it’s time to celebrate Moms everywhere. I’ve always liked Mother’s Day, mostly because it is an opportunity to show my mom that I care and appreciate all she does for me, but also because Mother’s Day is usually the beginning point for nice, more summerlike weather. In terms of history, North American Mother’s Day dates back to 1914, but the origins of the day of celebration go back even further. Examples of Mother’s Day type traditions can be seen in the ancient Greek and Roman era, and in the UK where they celebrated Mothering Sunday dating back to the 1600s. Today, the festival is celebrated on many different dates in 46 countries
around the world. People take the day as an opportunity to pay tribute to their mothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, stepmothers, aunts and any other motherly figures and thank them for all their love and support. The day has become hugely popular and in several countries phone lines witness maximum traffic. In my family, Mother’s Day has always been a good day. When I was younger it was all about cute crafts I made at school and ‘helping’ my dad make breakfast. We’d usually have a barbecue with my extended family, including my grandmother or order Chinese food and stay home with everyone. As I got older, I always did something nice with my mom, maybe going to get pedicures or going shopping with my mom and grandma (a favourite past time). The day has always been about family and nice activities and it was nice to be able to do those things on my own as I grew up.
Now, as I live further away from my mom, I still try to make an effort on Mother’s Day. A couple years it has been sending a card in the mail when I couldn’t see my mom on the actual day or sending her flowers, but always something. My mom is one of the most important people in my life and I try to make her feel loved and appreciated as often as I can, but especially on Mother’s Day. This year I will be seeing her on the actual day and we have plans to spend the day shopping and maybe going out for brunch. I am looking forward to it greatly and, as cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I will be spending the day with a good friend and confidant who also happens to be my mother. While the day, like many holidays, has become extremely commercialized, it is still very important to remember moms or mother figures and show them appreciation. No matter how you celebrate, just make sure she knows that you care.

May is Lyme disease awareness month They’re out there in fields, wooded trails and city parks. Waiting to bury their ugly little heads into your pet, child or person, all the while carrying a potentially debilitating disease. May is Lyme disease awareness month. Supported by the Lyme Disease Foundation, their campaign focuses on preventative measures which can be taken against the acute inflammatory disease. In this part of the continent, Lyme disease is spread by bites from the deer tick, sometimes called the black-legged tick, which has been infected with a bacterium known as Borrelia burgdorferi. First symptoms are typically expressed in the form of aches, tiredness, jointpains, and rashes. Late symptoms (often occurring months and even years after infection), can include chronic fatigue, mental health issues, arthritis, a condition a condition known as Chronic encephalomyelitis, which can cause back pain, bladder problems, vertigo and leg weakness. The first and most important precaution to take before heading outside to a possible tick area is to wear appropriate attire when wandering into wooded areas, making sure no skin is exposed to for the ticks to bite. It is recommended that pants be tucked into socks, and shirts be tucked into pants. Sad as it is, a hike in the woods can no longer be considered a fashion show. Insect repellant has also been shown to be effective in preventing the ticks from biting, so consider applying it to areas at risk of being bitten. If pets are going to be in these areas, it is recommended that they be inspected thoroughly for biting ticks that have burrowed themselves into the skin. The second most important element of Lyme diseases prevention is to have a tick removal system ready, as it is believed that improper tick removal is a critical factor in contracting the disease (oftentimes, the body can breaks away with the head still stuck inside the skin.) Such a removal system might include a pair of tweezers, antiseptic, a small vial and insect repellant. Place the tweezers as close as possible to the head (mouth) of the tick, and use a gentle pulling-up action in order to ensure the entire specimen is removed. Place the tick in the vial to keep it alive for testing, if desired. Armed with these tools and knowledge, we wish you a tick-free spring and summer.

First annual Shop Local Showcase
The first annual Shop Local Showcase will be held on Saturday May 7, 2016 from 9am to 3pm at St. Lawrence College. It will be Kingston’s premier business networking mixer and trade fair combination, connecting businesses and consumers to the local business landscape. The organizers of the show have been humbled by the support received from local businesses, to present the event in their home town of Kingston. On the Shop Local Showcase team, there are 3 graduates of St. Lawrence College and they say that it is especially gratifying to be back on Campus. “Richard and Amelia of Conference Services at St. Lawrence College, have been amazing to work with and have helped immensely to bring the Shop Local Showcase to fruition. Many local businesses have sponsored the event and made it possible to offer it to the community.” Local, small and medium size enterprises compete with online sales and large corporate entities with huge advertising budgets. Add to that an increase in government regulation, changing demographics, consumer preferences for longer hours of operation, and lower prices. If this weren’t enough, the costs just to maintain operations have risen so dramatically, that many favourite local family businesses have simply chosen to close up shop. The Shop Local Showcase was developed to help local businesses gain more exposure, and spread the message of the importance of shopping locally to the community. The reality is that the local business mix makes a community liveable, sustainable, and unique! While the big box stores, giant corporate retailers and suburban malls, are also part of the local economy, the shrinking presence of independent operators threatens to reduce competition and local job opportunities. Independents are in fact collectively, the areas’ largest employer and tax base contributors. When they succeed, the whole community sees the benefits! The Shop Local Showcase will give community small and medium sized businesses and new entrepreneurs, a cost effective opportunity for visibility at a large public event. “We have received numerous compliments from the business community, for conceiving the “Shop Local” initiative, and in return have the support of many local businesses.” “It’s going to be a wonderful display of products and services.

Kick off home improvement season with easy maintenance projects (NC) As the days get longer and the weather improves, this is the time to make sure that our homes or rental properties are well maintained. Here are a few do-it-yourself projects to keep your home in tip-top shape: Top up your attic insulation. Many older homes have inadequate levels of insulation in the attic that wouldn’t meet today’s building code. Topping it up will help to save on energy consumption and keep your house cooler in the summer months. A great product for this task is Roxul Comfortbatt insulation. It’s easy to install, cuts simply with a serrated blade or bread knife and protects against fire, moisture and mold. Aim for a depth of 16 inches (41 cm) or an R-value of 50. Insulating
properly could also provide added benefits such as improving the longevity of your air conditioner by reducing stress on the unit as temperatures rise. Inspect your roof and make minor repairs. Winter can be especially hard on a roof. Look for ice, hail or water damage. Replace any cracked or missing shingles and clear any debris. Clean your gutters. It’s not glamourous work, but your home’s gutters play an essential role in moving water away from your home and preventing damage. Consider installing gutter guards to ensure your gutters remain functional and free from debris. Inspect windows and doors and re-caulk, where necessary. Because a proper seal is essential in both heating
and cooling seasons, this job should be performed twice a year to protect against drafts and moisture, and to keep insects out. Worn weather stripping should also be replaced. Other simple jobs include fixing leaky faucets, repairing and resealing decks, inspecting the foundation and scheduling a check-up for your HVAC system. The key is being honest about what you can handle and, when in doubt, call in the pros.

Maximize your basement’s potential
(NC) If today’s real estate market has you frazzled, a home renovation project may be just the right answer. With house prices on the rise, finishing a basement is the latest trend towards building even more equity in the home. A finished basement can offer a little extra room to give a growing family space to breathe, and with so many uses, a renovated basement may be the exact solution to what your home is missing. It can provide additional storage space, a sound-proofed media room, craft room, guest room, or income suite. The possibilities are endless. Here are some tips on how to give your basement a 180-degree makeover: Waterproof it. Check the interior foundation and floors to make sure there are no existing moisture issues, water damage or mold problems. Address any primary moisture issues before finishing the space. Examine grading to ensure water runs
away from your foundation. Soundproof it. Installing acoustic insulation is the perfect excuse to crank up the subwoofer, host a get-together or let the kids run wild. Soundproofing is the ultimate solution to maximize your basement’s peace, quiet and privacy. Industry experts suggest using Roxul Safe n’ Sound, which effectively absorbs sound and is easy to work with. Add or replace flooring. Installing a new floor can improve the overall comfort level and look of your basement. Vinyl, laminate, ceramic tile, and engineered hardwood are great options. Say no to carpet, which can harbour mold and allergens, particularly in the basement, and don’t forget to lay a subfloor. Add Colour. Transform the dull and boring space into an inviting oasis or a colourful playroom with a simple coat of paint. If your basement has low ceilings or limited
natural light, choose lighter, warmer tones to brighten the space. To add some drama, consider adding depth and visual interest to your space with a different coloured accent wall. Accessorize it. Throw pillows, rugs, lighting, and artwork are simple additions that can immediately enhance or change your basement’s look and feel. Pot lights can modernize, while art work and throw pillows can add a splash of colour. Accessories are really an opportunity to make it your own and let your personality shine through. They also provide an inexpensive way to keep your space looking fresh from year to year.

(NC) Forecasts predict a long, hot summer on the Canadian horizon, a welcomed piece of news in our country of four distinct, mostly chilly seasons. In many homes, however, summer weather of that kind leads to cranking up the air conditioning for much longer periods. Reliable cooling assures relief for sleeping and for all activities, but such expensive energy consumption could make the gift of a long, hot summer, too much of a price to pay. Did you know that annually, 25 per cent of all energy consumed in the average Canadian household is for air conditioning? So imagine the costs to be saved if we find effective ways to cut it back. “Yes there are some clever alternatives for keeping rooms cool,” says Sue Rainville from Hunter Douglas, a leading name in window fashions. “Programmable thermostats and ceiling fans will keep dollars in your wallet – and did you know that certain types of engineering today make window treatments do this job as well? In addition to supplying privacy and beautiful décor appeal, some of the more innovative window coverings help to keep interiors cool in summer and warm in winter. Better still, with our newest device and app called PowerView, you can even adjust motorized blinds remotely when you are
not home.” Rainville has a few more money-saving quick tips: • Turn on ceiling fans first with blades moving in a counterclockwise direction for quick disbursement of the hot air. • Use a programmable thermostat to adjust the household temperature when no occupants are at home. • Turn down the hot water temperature. It may surprise you to hear that water heating accounts for 18 per cent of the annual household energy consumed. Advisors tell us if we turn the temperature down 10 degrees (F) we could save 3 to 5 per cent in costs. • Install an on-demand tankless water system. Conventional water tanks waste energy because they are set to keep a large amount of water at a consistent hot temperature when it is not needed. An on-demand system may better serve your needs. • Reduce the amount of solar heat that passes through your windows. Energy-efficient window treatments can help control as much as 50 per cent of the heating and cooling energy that can be lost at the window. Additional window fashion tips like that are available at hunterdouglas.ca www.newscanada.com

Trendy gardens are adding lots of colour this year
(NC) There’s nothing like colour to bring life back to our outdoor spaces – and doing that with flair starts with imagination. How do you envision the beauty of your property this summer, be it the patio, the deck, your terrace, or the entire backyard? Picturing it and making a plan is an important first step, so to help jump start this process, let’s consult a specialist on the topic. Peter Cantley, a gardening expert for the President’s Choice brand, has put together his list of the biggest gardening trends at the moment, bound to put you in the mood for your spades and trowels: Bright Begonias: Nothing says summer like brilliant colours and again this year, gardeners are looking to have their outdoor spaces dazzle with different shades and hues. Many have
already dubbed 2016 “The Year of the Begonia” as this bright annual is winning fans across both Canada and the United States. It’s not just traditional begonias that people are talking about however. The newest varieties are loaded with colours and bred to enjoy the sun and shade. They’re prefect to liven up any area of your garden. Relax And Let The Plants Do The Work: Have you always wanted to start gardening but just can’t seem to keep your plants alive? Fear not, more and more new gardeners are learning that you don’t have to spend hours a day to impress your backyard guests. Try low maintenance annuals like PC Gigantico Selosia Dragon’s Breath to spice up your planters. Or, if you love to garden but aren’t sure about plant arrangement, try pre-planted garden
mixes. It’ll take the guess work out of gardening but still result in planters and
baskets that are perfectly colour coordinated. Colour Me Green: Forget the white picket fence; the ever growing trend of
backyard colour is moving beyond the garden and into backyard structures. Fences and sheds are trending towards darker colours like navies, blacks and dark forest greens. If you’re planning on doing some outdoor building, or giving the fence a quick coat of paint, think about these colours that are sure to give your outdoor space a modern feel. Food Gardens: Lastly, a trend that’s becoming even more of a “movement” in the past few years is growing your own food. Whether its fresh herbs on the windowsill or planters and gardens filled with new and exciting varieties of exotic berries, growing our own food has never been more on trend. Planting edibles is an exciting opportunity to learn about new and different varieties of fruits and veggies so don’t be afraid to experiment this season.
Or for something truly unique, try the PC Ketchup and Fries, a unique tomato grafted onto a potato plant. Who knew that you can grow tomatoes and potatoes on the same plant? It’s just another exciting step in the world of gardening. Small Spaces, Big Ideas: It’s no secret that urban Canadians are moving into smaller spaces. Downtown condo buildings are on the rise and there’s no room for a backyard when you’re living on the 40th floor. Amazingly, condo dwellers aren’t letting their high-rise spaces prevent them from enjoying beautiful potted plants. Low-maintenance tropical plants and terrace-friendly succulents can make any condo or apartment balcony a delightful place to be. www.newscanada.com

The spring cleaning hacks that make a big difference (NC) Spring is a time to start fresh. While we love escaping from our winter hibernation to enjoy the outdoors, many of us dread the spring cleaning routine that ultimately follows to get our homes ready for the season. Since dusting, sweeping and organizing aren’t usually our favourite activities, these quick tricks will help to leave your house looking spotless and give you more time to spend enjoying the rising outdoor temperatures. Hunter Douglas, industry leader in innovative window coverings, shares these simple tips: Think outside the box for window cleaning. Use household items to help get the job done − like a hair dryer on a cold or cool setting to blow off dust when cleaning fabric shades like Hunter Douglas’ Silhouette window shading. Spray glass cleaner on a cloth rather than directly on the window to prevent damage to the fabrics. Use a lemon for your stainless steel faucets. Instead of choosing harsh chemicals, simply cut a lem-
on in half and rub to remove water stains and rust from your bathroom and kitchen sinks. The bonus is that it leaves behind a fresh, citrusy scent. Go for a homemade oven cleaner. No matter how badly your oven needs cleaning, this mixture will conquer the grease in no time. Combine five tablespoons of baking soda, four tablespoons of white vinegar and five drops of dishwashing liquid to form a thick paste. Spread the mixture on your oven and leave it to sit for 15-20 minutes. Then use a sponge to wipe your oven clean - no scrubbing required. Clean window sills with Q-tips. If you’re planning to clean your windows why not get rid of accumulating dirt on your window sills as well? Use a Q-tip and some vinegar to get in those hard to reach places and opt for a damp rag to remove the rest of the buildup. More information is available at www.hunterdouglas.ca. www.newscanada.com

Spring-cleaning tips for healthy living (NC) Spring has sprung, which means it’s time to re-energize and get organized, starting with the kitchen. Follow these top tips from registered dietitian, Sue Mah, for easy ways to organize your family’s kitchen now and all year-round. Toss it: • Throw out any food or leftovers in your fridge or pantry that are well past the best before date. • Look for canned items that may have rust, bulges or big dents. The food may be spoiled, so it’s safer to discard. Get organized: • Rotate the foods in your pantry, so the items at the front of your cup-
board have the earliest best before date. First in/first out is a helpful policy to avoid food waste. • Label everything. If you do a lot of batch cooking, label each item with the date and name of the meal before you store it. Create an inventory list of these items so you can keep track of all the great food you’ve made. Prep your pantry: Prepare your pantry with healthy baskets so you’re always ready when mealtime strikes: • Pasta, rice, oatmeal, quinoa and barley. Think of grains as the ‘little black dress’ of your pantry – you can never have too many. • Low-sodium canned fish, stewed
tomatoes, spices and oils. • Canned lentils and beans for a soup, stew, salad and even baked goods. • Nuts, seeds, and peanut butter for fast and convenient sources of protein. Revive your fridge: • Keep a variety of healthy choices on hand for graband-go snacks and beverage options: • Fill your crisper with colourful fruits and vegetables. • Pre-cut veggies and cheese, and
keep them in containers at eye level so they’re easy to see. • Pack your fridge with refreshing beverages like Florida Orange Juice, a nutrient-rich beverage with potassium, folate and vitamin C for a healthy diet. • Stock up on frozen corn, peas, spinach and frozen berries when the fresh varieties are out of season.
• Pre-make meals and drinks like a smoothie with frozen berries, Greek yogurt and Florida Orange Juice. When feeding a busy family, spring is the perfect time for a kitchen cleanout. A well-stocked pantry and fridge are your toolboxes for healthy eating from breakfast to dessert. www.newscanada.com

Landscaping tips for your home
(NC) We all know that it takes more than April showers to bring May flowers into your yard. Building and maintaining a beautiful outdoor landscape is the result of long hours, hard work and a green thumb. Before you begin to create this year’s garden oasis, make sure you’ve given some thought to protecting your home from the unintended water penetration that can result from poorly planned landscaping. This could not only have an impact on your home and what’s in it, but it could also jeopardize your new home warranty. In Ontario, most new homes come with a seven-year warranty that covers certain defects in workmanship, violations of the Ontario Building Code and major structural damage. The warranty is provided by your builder and backed by Tarion. As the homeowner, it is your responsibility to take care of your home, and this includes not altering any grading your builder has in place to protect it from water penetration. If your landscaping plans call for any changes to the slope around your home, this could lead to poor surface drainage, ponding, flooding, basement dampness, or foundation settlement – all of which could result in damage that may not be covered under your new home warranty. So before you start to making any plans that could change any of the drainage systems on your property, including planting flowers, installing a pool, a deck, or even a second driveway, be sure it won’t cause water to accumulate at or near your home’s foundation. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when planning your landscaping this season: • • Make sure the land slopes away from your house so water does not accumulate near the foundation of your home.
INSTALLS DESIGN & INSTALLATION

WE CAN DESIGN AND INSTALL YOUR DREAM KITCHEN OR BATHROOM. • Free Measure • Carefully planned installations • Guided process Selections made with Design Consultants • From floor to ceiling
We have our own on-staff installers!
• • Extend downspouts so water flows away from the house and does not collect next to the basement walls and windows. • • Ensure surface drainage is directed away from window wells and exterior stairwells. • • Don’t cover up exterior weeping holes. These allow water inside a home to move outside and evaporate. Raising the grade above weeping holes could only allow water to back up and weaken your foundation. It could also encourage insects or small animals to enter your home. Lot grading requirements vary in different municipalities. So before making changes to your builder’s grading, check with your local building department to understand what the requirements are that apply to your home.

4 unexpected upgrades to increase your home’s value
(NC) With home prices increasingly steadily, now is the time to invest in your home. Whether you’re ready to sell now, or want to boost your home’s value for the future, there are a few upgrades that can make a big impact. When it comes to renovations, we typically head straight to the bathroom and kitchen. While new shiny faucets and stainless steel appliances give off a striking first impression, there are other unexpected areas that can affect the overall look and feel of your home. 1. Window coverings Lighting can accentuate the positive elements in your home, or highlight the negative ones. Sunlight is warm and welcoming, but without ultraviolet protection, over time it can fade and damage a room’s furnishings
and décor. Hunter Douglas’s line of products offers ultraviolet protection to help counter the sun’s harmful effects. Their Pirouette window shadings are designed with soft, horizontal fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing. This innovation allows natural light into your room and it also lets you control the light in an entirely new way.
2. The front door This is the very first impression that a potential buyer will have of your home. Even if the inside of your home is stunning, a tired front door can set the wrong tone for anyone who walks in. Replacing the front door can provide a fresh new look. Consider whether you need to replace locks, knobs, and other door
hardware and ensure that it coordinates with the rest of your home.
3. Outdoor landscaping Even if you aren’t planning to sell your home, think for the future with landscaping improvements that will add valuable curb appeal. Planting a tree will not only make your home more visually desirable but it can also help to save energy. Choose a leaf shedding tree that will provide shade from the summer sun, but will let light in during the winter months to maximize solar warmth and light. 4. Outdoor landscaping Technology is not just for smartphones anymore. Homebuyers are increasingly interested in smart homes with elements that will make
their lives easier. The new Hunter Douglas PowerView motorized operating system lets you customize the perfect combination of light, privacy and warming, keeping your home perfectly in sync with the time of day and your mood. The P o w e r Vi e w Pebble Remote allows you to control exactly how light will play throughout your home from the palm of your hand.

Bayridge student drums up funds for autism By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April was autism awareness month and Bayridge Secondary School students made sure to do their part to make the community aware. To kick off the month, the school raised an autism awareness flag outside of the school with the help of staff, students
and community members. In addition, the school pledged to raise $250.00 to help families in Kingston and area access resources for their children with Autism; with the help of Grade 9 student Max Gass, they reached that goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Max approached me with an idea to help with fundraising,â&#x20AC;? explained Ena Holtermann, community resource teacher at Bayridge Secondary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made
a drum in wood shop and he wanted to raffle it off to raise money for autism. I thought it was a great idea.â&#x20AC;? The drum is an Octo-Snare Cajon, a Latin American drum that Max constructed in his Grade 11 wood shop class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a drum myself and I could have sold this one, but I wanted to contribute it to Autism awareness because I have autism myself and I wanted to help others,â&#x20AC;? said Gass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would be a good deed.â&#x20AC;? Wood shop is Gassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourite class in school and he likes it because it is more hands on than any of his other
subjects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like it because it is not so much about writing and looking at books and then giving answers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is making something and working with measurements and it is fun because a piece of paper wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last you a long time, but a drum will or something you make in wood shop will.â&#x20AC;? Gassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brother Connor helped him make the drum that went up for auction and the brothers paid attention to details to make the drum more unique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a bit different from the traditional drum and it has texture on the top and bottom,â&#x20AC;? explained Holtermann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is to make it more accessible for people with autism. For kids with autism, sensory is a big part of how they interact with the world.â&#x20AC;? Holtermann hopes that the drum will
be well-used by whoever wins the auction and maybe that it will make its way back to an autistic person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the people who purchased tickets have said that they would love to win the drum so that they can donate it back to out Musical Expressions program,â&#x20AC;? said Holtermann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of kids with autism are non-verbal and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ability to express themselves as easily as others. They can use music to express themselves and that helps a lot with their intellectual and social development.â&#x20AC;? The draw for the drum was held on April 29 at the school and Gass just hoped that whoever received the drum just enjoys it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope someone enjoys the OctoSnare,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very happy with the finished product and look forward to the next.â&#x20AC;?

Young Kingston musicians to duke it out on stage in star-studded Battle of the Bands But in the past year, the level of ‘rockness’, I guess you could say, has sort of picked up,” says Stewart-Juby, 23. “We draw inspiration from the alternative music you hear on the radio and some of the old classics like Zeppelin, The Stones and The Beatles.” Now, the band is looking to take their music and their profile to the next level by participating in a special Battle of the Bands taking place at the Ale House on May 6. Part of the Juvenis

Events - It can easily be argued that the local music scene is the heart and soul of downtown Kingston. Harrison Stewart-Juby and his band Oakridge Ave. (named for the street) are among the regular performers at local bars and pubs. “I’ve heard [our music] described as everything from alt rock to easy listening rock,.

Festival, the event is intended to give young local musicians aged 13-30 the not only opportunity to ‘battle it out’ on stage, but also a chance to receive valuable feedback from celebrity judges Emily Fennell (Miss Emily), Paul Langlois (The Tragically Hip) and Mike Reid (98.9 The Drive). A total of seven local bands, some made up high school students and others young adults, are participating. “We’re really excited to play in front of those great artists,” says Stewart-Juby, noting that while it would be a great honour to win, he and his bandmates are mostly looking forward to the opportunity to play for these music icons and also hearing the other performers, which include Wilderness, The Banters, City of Stone, Metronome Jones and Kings Tone. “It’s a big honour to be able to play in a city like this with such great talent all over the place.” Of course, he adds, the night is sure to be a lot of fun in itself, too. “Whenever the four of us get together it’s always a good time.” Indeed, Juvenis associate managing director Reid Cunningham remarks that this certainly won’t be your average Battle of the Bands event: “It separates itself from all the others because we’re not making it a popularity contest. Yes, we have bands like the Wilderness that have a bit of a following and we do have our celebrity
judges, but it’s not about that. It’s really about getting in there, listening to music and just appreciating all the music that’s going on that night.” The goal of the Juvenis Festival as a whole is to showcase youth talent in every aspect of the arts in Kingston. “Music is obviously a big part of that,” Cunningham says. “Not only do we have, the Tragically Hip, Emily Fennell, the really well known artists, we also have so many young artists. I think it’s really important to showcase their talents in our festival and we thought duking it out in the Battle of the Bands would be the best way.” Bands will be judged on a variety of criteria such as song choices, professionalism, tuning, pitch accuracy and level of skill and competency. Host Bryar Cuyk will interview the bands between sets, and the judges will also weigh in. “It’s a huge honour to even be able to talk to these people and have them listen to your band and get their feedback, even if it’s negative feedback,” notes Cunningham. “I would take that as a huge, huge opportunity. Even if they don’t win, at least they got the feedback. It’s a way for them to improve and move forward.” Battle of the Bands takes place Friday, May 6 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Ale House.

Expanded free dental care programs offered for children and youth By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – The Ontario government is putting their money where children’s mouths are. On April 26, MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, announced changes to the Healthy Smiles Ontario program. The changes are designed to streamline the already existing dental assistance programs and increase eligibility to 70,000 more kids across the province. “As a parent and as an MPP, it is really important to me to see this kind of programming coming out,” said Kiwala during the announcement at the Kingston Community Health Centre’s (KCHC) dental clinic. “It is very good news and we are working to help families understand the program, use it and not be intimidated by the process.” The Healthy Smiles Ontario (HSO) program aims to provide free dental services for children and youth from low-income families. Services include preventative, routine and emergency
dental services as well as x-rays. Currently, more than 323,000 children and youth from across the province are receiving care through HSO. The new program, Kiwala explained, has integrated six publicly funded dental programs into one to provide a more simplified process that will make it easier for kids to receive services, hopefully leading to an increase in users. “Children previously signed up for any of the previous six programs will continue to receive the same treatment,” she said. “It will be easier and families and their providers won’t have to spend too much time trying to figure out which programs apply to their needs.” In Kingston, the HSO program has been running successfully for five years through a partnership between KCHC and KFL&A Public Health. Eligible clients come into the dental office at KCHC on Wednesdays and Thursdays each week to receive treatment and response to MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, with members of the Kingston the program has been very positive.

seeing them everywhere and even on animals that are contained to yards year round.” Overgaard explained that ticks can lay 3,000 eggs at a time and when those eggs hatch, the ticks jump onto animals when they pass by. Initially the ticks are small, about the size of a typed period, but as they bite they become engorged and that is when they are most noticeable. While there is no specific tick season, animals tend to pick up the disease carrying bugs throughout the warmer months and lately those months have been more prevalent. “Now, all year round is tick season and especially with the milder winter we’ve had. We no longer have the extremely cold winters that we used to and the cold makes it harder for them to survive,” said Overgaard. “Birds also bring in millions of ticks from the United States every year, Dr. Brian Overgaard with staff members Sandra Andrus and Pauline especially songbirds.” Weckwerth at Frontenac Animal Hospital in Kingston.

Event aims to inspire Kingstonians to ‘shop local’ By Hollie Pratt-Campbell
Events - A new event is coming to town which aims to encourage Kingstonians to support locally-owned businesses. “Your favourite, local, small and medium sized enterprises continue to compete with online sales and large corporate entities with huge advertising budgets,” explains Anne Kotlarchuck, who is organizing the event along with the Conference Services Department at St. Lawrence College. “Add to that an increase in government regulation, changing demographics, consumer preferences for longer hours of operation, and lower prices. If this weren’t enough, the costs just to maintain operations have risen so dramatically, that many of your favourite family businesses have simply chosen to close up shop.” The business networking mixer and trade fair will take place on Saturday, May 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A variety of food, home/business services and entertainment type businesses are participating. The Showcase is intended to give these local small and medium sized businesses a boost by increasing their exposure in the community – an opportunity that is welcomed by MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company, one of the businesses that will have a booth at the show. “Every time we can get our beer in the hands of new customers to try it out we have a chance of gaining new customers, so this is a good spot to be,” says Kori Cembal, retail and event manager at MacKinnon. “With the different businesses there we might get a more diverse audience than we’ve already reached.”
Reaching a more diverse audience isn’t always easy to do considering they’re located in a rural area, on a farm outside of Bath. Many potential customers are simply unaware that the brewery grows the ingredients used in the beer right there on the farm, and that they have a tasting room on site. “It’s nice to get the word out that we are here and be able to talk to the local community about what we do, let them know that we’re open for business and that they can come out for a visit and check out the farm,” says Cembal. Those who attend the Shop Local Showcase will get to sample MacKinnon’s beer for themselves at the brewery’s booth. Cembal remarks that it’s also “important for us to support the local community because they’ve helped us so much in the first couple years of business here at the brewery.” A good portion of MacKinnon’s business involves selling their beer to local bars and restaurants, and business has continued to climb over the last couple of years. “Last week we took 53 kegs into Kingston, which was one of our biggest orders ever,” Cembal notes. She adds that it’s also important to the business to be supportive of an event St. Lawrence College is helping to organize. “They’ve really been supportive of us in our first couple of years so we figured why not support their first annual event as well.” Kotlarchuck hopes that the Showcase will open Kingstonians’ eyes to what local businesses like MacKinnon Brothers have to offer and encourage people to support them more often.
“While the big box stores, giant corporate retailers and suburban malls are also part of our local economy, the shrinking presence of independent operators threat-
ens to reduce competition and local job opportunities. Independents are in fact, collectively, the area’s largest employer and tax base contributors. When they
succeed, our whole community sees the benefits.” To learn more visit www.shoplocalshowcase.ca.

Group hopes to create ‘change for families in need’ By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
R0013737334
News – Child abuse is not something that many of us want to think about or even believe happens in our community, but for Marci McMullen, child abuse is an issue that hit close to home a couple years ago. “I had a very close friend whose daughter was sexually assaulted by her husband,” explained McMullen. “I watched the process
roll out for this family and realized that there was a huge gap in the way people are there to support the families who are running into these circumstances. It was hard and there was nobody there to help guide them through the processes and direct them.” After this experience, McMullen wanted to do something to help other victims and she quickly found other community members who wanted to do the same. Together with Dorothy Evans, they formed Change for Families in Need (Fin), a non-profit, grass-roots organization dedicated to chang-

ing the experiences of children and youth who have been abused in the community. “I think that the Ghomeshi trial brought a lot of this to the forefront. There has been a lot of kitchen table talk, media discussion and even political talk about what this experience looks like for adult women and it is the same experience for a child who has been abused,” explained Evans. “They still need to go through the whole reporting, forensic testing, court testimony process and that can be a lot for a child, especially when they have gone through so much already.” Change for Fin hopes to create a child and youth advocacy centre in Kingston to better serve chil-
dren and youth who are dealing with cases of abuse. The centre would work as a central point for interviews that need to be done following a report of abuse. “Instead of a child going through police interviews at the station or going to the hospital for interviews at the sexual assault centre, the interviews would take place in a safe, child friendly space,” said Evans. “ The Children’s Aid Society and other groups could come to them and everyone would still be doing their job, but the process would be less jarring and traumatic for the victim.” The idea of a child and youth advocacy group isn’t new and similar centres have been open in

the United States since the 1980s. Recently, Canada started introducing centres across the country and the federal government has been taking notice and pushing for more centres; Evans hopes one in Kingston is on the horizon. “Our first step would be, within our community, we do a needs assessment and feasibility study,” said Evans. “It would be to identify whether there is a need in our community to support families and children in need and in order to do that we need to fundraise to cover the costs.” The group is hoping to raise $5,000 for the studies through a community vendor and artisan market on June 18. The event is being held at Haven Home Climate Care and will feature live music, a barbecue, silent auction, and a large vendor market. “We are raising money, but we are also raising awareness for these issues,” said McMullen. “Support has been overwhelming so far and the number of people who have come to us and want to be involved because they were also victims of abuse as children and the system failed them has been unbelievable. We want to keep that momentum going.” The group has already raised a substantial amount of money and they hope the fundraiser can fill in the rest. Their hope is that after the studies, they can apply for federal funding and have a centre set up in about 18 months. “I know this is ambitious, but at the same time there will be families going through tough times during that time and the sooner we can help the better,” said Evans. “We feel there is such a big need for families who are dealing with these types of situations and there is nothing like these centres in our community – yet.” Change for Fin is still accepting donations for their event on June 18 and looking for volunteers to help out.

Pepsi tops Coke to supply food, beverages at municipal rinks By Bill Hutchins
News – Pepsi has won the latest battle against Coca-Cola for the right to sell its soft drinks in vending machines and concession stands at most City of Kingston arenas and other facilities. Coke won the initial 2008 contract for beverage “pouring rights” in the Invista Centre multiplex, and picked up the contract rights in other municipal recreational facilities such as Centre 70, Cataraqui Arena, Memorial Centre and Confederation Basin Marina in 2009.
But with the contract up for renewal in May 2016, council has decided to switch to Pepsi brands. The city conducted extensive consumer surveys and consultation with the public health unit to improve healthy food and beverage options at municipal facilities. A request for proposals was issued for the ‘Supply and Delivery of Healthy Food and Beverage Vending Services for Various Facilities.’ Pepsi and Coke submitted rival bids. Staff said PepsiCo Beverages Canada scored higher based on its price, product quality, cus-
tomer service and its willingness to supply both food and beverages at municipal facilities. Pepsi will supply food vending service through Dutch Oven Vending Service. “The combined proposal from PepsiCo included an annual payment to the City of Kingston in the amount of $10,000 plus monthly vending commissions for food and drink for the duration of the contract,” according to a report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. City officials estimated Pepsi will pay the city a total of
$184,000 through its annual funding payment, vending commissions and marketing over the life of the four year contract. The contract can be extended by another two years at the city’s discretion. The contract gives Pepsi exclusive access to counter beverage sales at the Invista Centre, Cataraqui arena and Grand Theatre, plus the right to install vending machines with its drinks at the Invista Centre, Artillery Park Aquatic Centre, Cataraqui Arena, Memorial Centre, Centre 70, Belle Park Fairways, Confederation Basin Marina and Rideaucrest.

some long overdue recognition and, possibly, her own bank note. The City of Kingston has nominated Molly Brant to be honoured with her face on the next

bank note series. “Mary was her real name, but they called her Molly,” said Coun. Kevin George, who introduced a motion April 19 to honour Brant as part of a national nomination process. An independent advisory council of the federal government and the Bank of Canada is currently sifting through hundreds of female candidates to decide who will get the honour of having their likeness on our currency in 2018. City council voted unanimously to put Brant’s name forward based on her role in the American Revolution when she “sheltered and fed loyalists and sent arms and ammunition to those who were fighting for the King.” In addition, the motion states Brant, also known as
Konwatsi’tsiaienni, used her influence on behalf of her people to have land on the Bay of Quinte granted to the Iroquois in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. “She did a lot for Canada in a very short period of time,” added Coun. George who, coincidentally, represents the district of LoyalistCataraqui - two words that came to symbolize Brant’s contributions. According to the Canadian Museum of History’s website, Brant and her brother, Joseph Brant, are described as architects of the Mohawk alliance. They served as a bridge between Iroquois and British worlds in 18th century North America. “As ambassadors of the Iroquois, they defended Mohawk interests; as people of influence within their Aboriginal nation, they built support for the embattled British,” the website stated.
A bust of Molly Brant by sculptor John Boxtell sits in the Rideaucrest courtyard facing the Cataraqui River. The location is at the site where Brant lived until her death. Photo/Mark Bergin Continued on page 33

It was decided in 1783 that Cataraqui would be a good place for the settlement of British Loyalists. It was about the same time that Brant also chose to live along the banks of the Cataraqui River, near the present-day location of Rideaucrest seniors home. She died here in April 16, 1796 and was buried on the site of what is now St. Paul’s church at Queen and Montreal Streets, but the exact location of her burial plot is unknown. On the 220th anniversary of her death, council rushed the motion’s approval to meet the deadline to submit nominations. Coun. George says Brant deserves to be recognized for her place in Canadian history. “She’s well known across the province and in the northern United States for everything she did. I think she’s got as good a chance as anybody else out there.” Local MP Mark Gerretsen pledged to
deliver Brant’s nomination to the advisory group for consideration. The committee will have a tough choice to make based on entries of other iconic Canadian women. Note-able candidates such as Emily Carr, Marie Dressler, Judy LaMarsh, Margaret Laurence, Agnes Macphail, Jeanne Mance, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Susanna Moodie, Mary Pickford and Laura Secord will also be considered. The Bank of Canada has strict criteria to consider someone for a bank note; they must be Canadian by birth or naturalization, demonstrate outstanding leadership, achievement or distinction in any field benefitting the people of Canada or in the service of Canada, and must be dead for at least 25 years. The list will be whittled down to 10-12 names and become the focus of a formal public opinion survey to gauge the views of Canadians. From there, the advisory
group will hear from historical experts to produce a short-list of three to five names that will be given to the finance minister
who, in consultation with the governor of the Bank of Canada, will make the final decision.

Twisted characters struggle through convoluted plot By Mark Haskins
MOVIE: The Huntsman: Winter’s War STARRING: Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, Nick Frost and Charlize Theron DIRECTOR: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan RATING: PG I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie that was both a prequel and sequel. After The Huntsman: Winter’s War I believe I know why. The first twenty minutes or so of Winter’s War tells the story of how Queen Freya’s (Emily Blunt) power of ice and cold are awakened by the death of her baby. She then leaves her sister Ravenna (Charlize Theron) to create her own kingdom in the north. There she starts taking children, to ‘free’ them from the bonds of love, and train them to be her huntsman. Two of those children are Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Sara (Jessica Chastain). The two are raised to be Freya’s best warriors, but despite the
Queen’s decree that love is a sin, they fall in love. Freya forces them to fight for their love. Just as they’re about to win their freedom Freya uses her magic to deceive them. Eric sees Sara killed, while Sara sees Eric abandon her. Seven years go by as we gloss over the first film, and jump into the sequel portion of the movie. Fearing the power of the Mirror, Snow White sends it away only to have it stolen. Eric, along with two dwarves Nion (Nick Frost) and Gryff (Rob Brydon), are tracking it when they run into Queen Freya’s Huntsman. Eric is rescued from the Huntsman by Sara. It’s a reunion of sorts as seven years and Freya’s magic still lie between them. Still Eric is determined to win back Sara and stop Freya. If Freya obtains the Mirror an even greater evil will be unleashed. The Huntsman: Winter’s War was a long way to go to write Kristen Stewart out of the story. Sure it was the right call, but it’s such a convoluted plot that it’s hard to get into. There are some great lines, and a fantastic fight between good and
evil, but on the whole the movie reminds me of something I would have loved back in the ’80s. Something like Hawk the Slayer or Lady Hawk, or Dragonslayer or some other cheesy fantasy film with hawk or slayer in the title. It was fun to watch and may become a guilty pleasure, but hardly worthy of the big screen. As far as the cast goes I thought the whole show was stolen by Nick Frost, Rob Brydon, Sheridan Smith and Alexandria Roach who played the dwarves. Emily Blunt plays a psychologically damaged sociopath with the best of them, and is only outdone in over-the-top evil by Charlize Theron. Jessica Chastain plays a pretty good action hero. It’s always nice when they can deliver the lines and the punches. Hemsworth doesn’t even have to try to play this role. As my wife says, as long as his shirt comes off it doesn’t really matter what he says. The Huntsman: Winter’s War is a mess, but at least Kristen Stewart isn’t in it. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
If KEDCO isn’t an agency of the City, why do they have OMERS pensions*? KEDCOs Board has consistently refused to reveal detailed information to the taxpayers who fund them, because they state they are an independent not for profit company, and claim they have no legal requirement to be accountable to taxpayers. If, as they claim, they aren’t a services board or agency of the City -how are they eligible for Ontario Municipal Employees pensions? Why are taxpayers paying the employer contributions for their municpal employee pensions?
Something doesn’t add up. It’s our money. We deserve better. Stand up for Kingston’s future.

Haunted by our past By Mark Bergin
In 1692, in a village on the east Coast of the United States, a devil roamed the land and demanded that a toll of human life be paid. This was no ordinary run-of-the-mill devil, but one that infected the human heart and turned it cold. Religious rigidity, along with politics and economics, catalyzed a series of events that left 19 people (and two dogs) dead and many others destitute. The cry of “Witch!” by schoolgirls began as a flicker in Salem Village. It grew in ferocity until the flames of hatred seared reputations, fortunes, and lives. A hysteria erupted in the countryside until no one was safe from the accusation of being in league with Lucifer. The era gave us the phrase witch-hunt, which we now use for any oppressive search for villains among those who are truly innocent. In the 20th century, playwright Arthur Miller conducted research on the Salem witch trials. In the early 1950s, inspired by the antiCommunist fervor of the day, Miller wrote one of his greatest works, The Crucible. Although the play takes place in 17th century Salem, it aptly fit the mood of the mid-twentieth century, when people were jailed, careers were ruined, and anyone accused of Communist sympathies could have their life turned upside down. Like the Salem witch trials, the McCarthy-
Era witch hunts offered relief to those who would confess and name names of those regarded as “Red-sympathizers.” The entertainment industry, a prime target, was particularly hard hit. Those who refused to testify became blacklisted from many jobs in the country. In addition to Arthur Miller, others persecuted included the likes of Albert Einstein, Orson Welles, Lucille Ball, Pete Seeger, Dorothy Parker, Danny Kaye, Lena Horne, Allen Ginsberg, and Charlie Chaplin. Things are frighteningly similar today, and not just from the far right loony tunes land of Donald Trump. Things are just as wacky at the extreme end of the scale on the other side. Anyone not following a rigid politically correct dogma can be hunted down and labeled oppressor. Here in Kingston, a local couple have been threatened and had their home property vandalized because they dared to honour Sir John A. Macdonald, one of the founders of our country. We look at countries in the Middle East and scowl at the thought of religious fundamentalists destroying ancient statues/carvings of Buddha, yet we are blind to the same thing happening in our midst. In an odd decision, an Ontario university chose to remove a statue of Sir John A. Macdonald. It’s fascinating how selective those on the fundamentalist and righteous left are about their indignation. No one is protesting the existence of any Molly Brant statues, despite
the fact that Molly Brant was a slave owner. No one is burning Molly Brant in effigy. Nor should they. My point is not to dishonour Molly Brant. She was a great woman and a brilliant diplomat. Like Sir John A. Macdonald, she was a product of her times. We should honour her (and Sir John A Macdonald) for their greatness, not judge their flaws based on 2016 society and values. It’s bad enough that the Taliban destroys precious and historic relics in their own territory. Let’s not do it to ourselves. Cultural appropriation has become a hot topic. It’s something we should examine as an important issue, but we shouldn’t turn it into another witch hunt. Taken to its extreme, and at times it is, a Chrysalids-like search for “purity” leads to isolationism. In an extremely paranoid world view, no two cultures would ever mix. We would not learn from each other. As a person of European decent, should I never play a blues scale or a chord used in reggae on my guitar? I’ve heard several arguments actually taken that far. Surely someone braiding their hair need not touch off sparks of cultural indignation. We should certainly respect religious and spiritual beliefs of other cultures. But madness is brewing and the issue of cultural appropriation is already going far beyond that which is spiritually sacred. Continued on page 36
Arthur Miller’s Crucible, first produced in 1953 during the McCarthy-Era witch hunts and set in 1692 Salem, is as relevant a reflection on the political times today as it was in 1953. The play, considered a masterpiece of American literature, is again being staged on Broadway until July 17.

Haunted by our past Continued from page 35
Purists on the right or the left of the political spectrum can look ridiculous when they cling to dogma. Insanity recently arose in Ottawa over the issue of teaching yoga. The University of Ottawa actually cancelled free yoga stretching classes—that had been running for eight years—at the school’s Centre for Students with Disabilities, because it was taught by a woman who did not come from the culture where yoga originated. In other words, she wasn’t culturally pure. What’s next? Martial arts? Where would the line be drawn: Japan? China? India? Karate travelled to North America from the cultures of Okinawa and Japan. But it travelled there from China, and before that India. So who gets to teach it? Only someone from India? Or is China acceptable? How about Okinawa? I have visited Salem, Massachusetts
several times. It’s a beautiful city whose history offers a sad story, one from which we should learn. Instead, history repeats itself. It happened in the 1950s. It’s happening again now. One of the most tragic stories of the Salem witch hunts is that of Giles Corey. Believing that he would eventually succumb to the pain and torture, his tormentors placed large stones and boulders upon his flattened body, awaiting the moment when he would name names of those he knew to be witches (of course, he didn’t know anyone). He did not follow the path of many who did name names. With each stone added to the pile slowly crushing him, Giles Corey would simply call out, “More weight.” He never gave in. He died under the weight of the rocks upon him. Crushed to death. Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible during the McCarthy era, named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, who led the congressional committees called to hunt
down sympathizers to the Communist cause. The Crucible opened on Broadway in January 1953. The production was a reflection of the times and an insult to the congressional proceedings. The Crucible offered a call for caution amidst hysteria. The Crucible is again playing on Broadway. The New York Post has called it “a heart-stopping, bone-chilling masterpiece.” One of the banners outside the theatre reads: “A Trump-era take on the Arthur Miller classic.” The show hits home in frightening ways. Instead of wearing Puritan costumes, this version opens with the school girls who started the hysteria all wearing what look like modern day school uniforms. The score composed by Philip Glass makes use of traditional instruments as well as modern-era digital and synthesized sounds. The Crucible warns us of the ease with which hysteria can grip a community. Those initially labeled as witches in

border (Mexicans) or those who visibly stand out because of their dress and appearance (Muslims). As for those on the other end of the political spectrum who hold concerns about cultural appropriation, I agree that we need to respect sacred symbols and ceremonies. I also believe in diversity, and diversity does not mean rigid exclusion. It means getting to know one another and opening our arms and hearts to the love from and for other cultures. It means that I can play the blues of African-American culture on my guitar, I can teach yoga, I can teach karate, and I can sing songs from other cultures as a way of celebrating diversity. Sadly, the witch hunts continue. The Crucible lives among us. Let us not get caught up in either the hysteria of fearing other cultures or becoming one of the righteous (the politically correct moralizers). Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

Salem may have been social outcasts, but it wasn’t long before upstanding members of the community also became victims. Hysteria shattered the community. Righteousness often boils down to a personal vendetta. It’s no surprise that Arthur Miller was called to testify at the congressional hearings in the 1950s. However, like Giles Corey and John Proctor in The Crucible, Miller refused to answer questions or name names. Many whom we revere today became victims of the McCarthy hearings and were blacklisted for many years. In addition to Arthur Miller, they included the likes of Pete Seeger, Lucille Ball, Orson Wells, Leonard Bernstein, Charlie Chaplin, Danny Kaye, Albert Einstein, Albert Ginsberg, and Lena Horne. Today, we have political candidates rallying (trumping up?) the crowds into a fervour by besmirching immigrants and foreigners, especially ones closest to the

The gallery is also making it easier to view the new addition by eliminating admission prices as of April 29. “We want people to experience art first hand and benefit from that and make it a part of their lives,” explained Jan Allen, director of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. “We wanted people to be able to come and spend time with the painting without worrying about admission costs.” While the painting is the third Rembrandt for the gallery, it is the most significant acquisition and Allen is excited to see the impact it will have on both the university and the community. “It is a major breakthrough for Dr. Jacquelyn Coutre, Bader Curator and researcher of European art at our collection in many respects,” the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (right) and Jan Allen, director of the she said. “It allows us to see the Agnes Etherington Art Centre with the newest Rembrandt installation evolution of painting style and it also relates to other works in our at the museum on April 28.

holdings. It really distinguishes our collection and it will be a magnet for study, scholarship and for the public.” The new painting will be on display to the public starting April 29 with an opening reception at 6:30 p.m. The event will also launch four new spring/summer
exhibitions at the gallery. For more information about the Agnes Etherington Art Centre and their collections visit www.agnes. queensu.ca

Every meeting of council has its moments lor Springgay will bring forward a proposal to honour volunteers at the May meeting of council for doing so at the Community Centre grounds possibly during a summer event in July. (All members of council serve on committees of council as well as on community committees and are aware of the commitments of many island residents in a variety of other church and community associations. 3, Wolfe Island Round-Up July 2nd and 3rd : Rob and Erin White, hosts of the Round-UP requested Priority ferry boarding for Horses and Trailers (as they had last year) for the event. They will set up a schedule, booking times for trailer access Friday July 1st, allowing two trailers each trip and on Sunday July 3rd. “This schedule will reduce the congestion of trailers

News- The April Meeting of Frontenac Islands Council had its moments some more momentous than others For instance the passage of the 2016 Budget detailed in an earlier column. But as always, other issue of interest to islanders came up as well. 1.Wolfe Island Transfer and Recycling Centre: Councillor Springgay would like a system established that would limit the number of bags deposited for transfer by individual residents. and considers the excessive number of bags she has seen deposited at times, an abuse of the system. 2. “Volunteers are the roots for strong communities” was the theme of National Volunteer Appreciation week (April 10-16). Council-
and wait times and allow for the free flow of traffic especially with it being a holiday long weekend,” the White’s said in their letter . .4. Ferry line parking was a concern for Councillor Grant. He noted that people are parking in front of establishments (many not for the ferry) resulting in slowdowns in the line as vehicles have to move around them during the ferry loading process, also giving a false indication of the actual load limit. A reminder is to be sent out to residents which identifies the importance of maintaining a minimum distance between the vehicles waiting in line, providing those at the “maximum loading capacity sign” a better sense of whether they will make it onto the ferry or not. Maintaining a the minimum of distance between ve-

hicles means that even smaller vehicles cannot slip into a space.. (Those who park in locations in proximity to their homes also skew the line up). Parking restrictions along the ferry line in Marysville have been posted on the ferry. 5. Howe Island Councillor Higgs commended Public Works Manager Rob Dillabough for the changes and advances he has instituted. Higgs said that Howe Island has already benefitted from Dillabough’s diligence in the purchase of vehicles for the Howe ward. “He did a great job with the cost coming out of reserves,” he said. 6. Deputy Mayor Nossal informed Council that a $500. grant from MTO was approved for the “Road Safety Challenge”, and will be used to promote pedestrian safety practices. Nossal noted as well that Frontenac Islands is promoting the use of Frontenac Transportation Service (FTS) which provides subsidized transportation at minimal cost to seniors by connecting them with volunteer drivers to get where they need to go. “The program depends upon the recruitment of volunteers within our community, and we would like to hear from potential volunteers and clients,”she said. On behalf of Council she also extended a sincere welcome to Larry Quinn who is now a full time Howe Island Public Works employee. Council meets next: Monday, May 9th at 6:30 pm Wolfe Island Town Hall. Around Town: The Wolfe Island Community Medical Clinic holds its AGM this year on Tuesday May 31st beginning at 6:30 pm. The Clinic officially opened in 1972 and rebuilt following a fire in 1972 is operated by a volunteer board of directors. It is dependant for its operation and pro-

Father endured long days on farm at this time of year By Mary Cook
Early in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs. He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids to put in the kindling, I would waken. And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready. The sun would be just rising when Father would head to the barns for the chores, returning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the fields. Likely the binder would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before. Our fields were long and narrow in the Northcote area, and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the West Hill, he was in another part of the country. He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and fields. Grampa, when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, “Albert is a true farmer.” On weekdays, Mother would pack a lunch for him to take to the back fields. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take the eleven quart basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite a feast, I thought back then. And Father and I would share the lunch together. During the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder, far back into the fields in the farthest reaches of our farm. My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this
time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores. There was milking to be done, the barns to be cleaned out and made ready for the night, the calves and pigs to be fed, and fresh straw put in the stalls. My sister Audrey and I were expected to wash out the milk pails and the cream separator, put fresh cheesecloth under the lids of the milk cans, making sure everything was secure. Mother lived in constant dread that somehow a mouse would get into the milk can during the night, which Father said was an impossibility since the lids fit so tightly. But she wasn’t taking any chances, thus the cheesecloth was extra protection. We would have our supper without Father these nights. He would still be working in the fields. It didn’t seem right somehow, that he wasn’t sitting at the head of the table. But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door. My sister Audrey would have to say Grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father. Although he wasn’t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasn’t part of our supper meal. Long after we had eaten, and redded up the kitchen, and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch for Father. I would first see just a speck, and then I would see him coming over the West hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging behind them. I would watch his figure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound. “He’s home,” I would yell. Everett would get up and go out to
the barn yard and take the team from Father, and feed them oats, and let them drink from the watering trough and then take them into the barn for the night. And Father would come into the kitchen, covered with dirt and chaff, looking like he had rolled in a dustbin. He would go to the bench at the back door where Mother would have put out a fresh basin of warm water. I would watch him splash the water over his face and rub it up his arms, and see the water turn black. He would reach up to the huck towel and dry himself off, and it would look like he didn’t have another ounce of strength in his body. Mother would put a steaming supper before him, and I never knew whether I should sit at the table
with him so that he wouldn’t be eating alone, or to leave him in peace. It never mattered how ample was the meal, it couldn’t erase the bone-tiredness from Father’s body. I used to think a long day in the fields made him look much older than he really was. At any other time of the year, Father would spend some time after supper reading the paper, with his feet resting on the oven door. But when he had been in back fields from daylight to dusk, it was all he could do to muster enough strength to plod to the bedroom, undress and fall into bed. I knew without fail, the next morning there would be a repeat of what had happened the day before, and would happen many days hence.
Although I didn’t understand completely what the Depression really meant, I knew for us to survive it, Father would have to continue the back-breaking work of tilling the land, and harvesting the crops, with machinery that had seen better days. And in my prayers at night, I would offer up a special prayer for Father...that he would have the strength to do what had to be done to keep the farm going, and to keep the Depression from closing in around us.

New regulations for safety standards certificate kick in July 1 By Brian Turner
It surprises many to see vehicles on the road that are in need of some serious repairs. Our current government vehicle inspection system only requires that most passenger cars and light trucks receive a check-over when they change owners. New regulations for the Ontario Safety Standards Certificate begin on July 1 of this year. This set of rules hasn’t received any serious updates for decades and the new list of standards and items inspected is bound to catch a lot of consumers and shops off guard. Fortunately for licensed garages, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has been holding town-hall style meetings this spring with technicians and shop operators to educate everyone about the new rules. One change that will please plenty of drivers on the road is the new rules on High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. These very bright lights with their dis-
tinctive white-blue hue have been optional equipment on a number of higher end vehicles for over a decade. But the problem that bugs most drivers occurs when vehicle owners install HID bulbs in vehicles that were never designed to take them. These modifications usually result in a wide wash of extremely bright and unfocused light that blind oncoming drivers. Starting on July 1, vehicles that have been equipped with HID lights after they were manufactured will no longer meet Ontario Safety Standards. So in the event of an inspection for change of ownership, they will have to be reverted to their normal lamps and if a police officer pulls one over for a roadside check an order can be issued to rectify the lights. Cracks in windshields are something that a lot of drivers take for granted and sometimes take more time than they should to rectify. When you consider that on most passenger vehicles the windshield can provide up to 50% of
the structural strength of its roof in a roll-over, driving with a cracked windshield is a risky affair. When a vehicle with a cracked windshield rolls onto its roof, the roof is very likely to collapse faster and farther into the passenger compartment than it would if the glass was undamaged. If you do your own seasonal tire changeovers and forgot to mark the location of each wheel when you took off the summers, you can easily determine the direction of rotation with your hand. With today’s modern tire design and manufacturing processes, it’s not the end of the world if you do put them on the wrong side, but you will get the maximum life and performance from them if you keep them on the same side of the vehicle and only rotate them from front to rear. With the tire/wheel’s outer side facing you, run your hand flat and clockwise over the tread (in the direction it travels, not side to side). If it feels smoother in the clockwise direction compared to
the counter-clockwise movement, you have a left side tire in front of you. If you have directional tires on your vehicle, the tire maker has taken all the guess work out of this by imprinting an arrow on the sidewall indicating which way it should rotate. These types of tires should never have their rotation direction reversed. If you’re not sure which set to put on the front or rear, a good rule to follow for front-wheel drive vehicles is to put the tires with the deepest tread on the rear. When you do switch over tires, take the time to inspect the area on the wheel hub where the centre of the wheel rim fits. Also check the corresponding area on the wheel rim. Look for any rust build-up and if you find any, use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove it all. Any rust, grit, or hard deposits can prevent the wheel from running true and may cause vibrations. It’s also a good idea to brush a little copper-based grease on the
hub mounting point to make it easier to remove the wheel for the next tire change or in the case of a roadside blow-out. If you ever have to use some extreme force to remove a rustedon wheel and don’t have a heavy hammer handy, lower the vehicle off the jack with the wheel nuts partially on. Then try rocking the vehicle from side to side with your body to free the wheel.

Few things can be as troublesome to gardeners and landscapers as weeds. Weeds seemingly spring up overnight and quickly can overrun lawns and/or garden beds. Landscaping enthusiasts may spend countless hours and weekends coping with weeds without truly getting to the root of the problem. However, preventing weed growth need not be so difficult. According to the experts at “This Old House” and The Family Handyman, the secret to preventing weeds is to maintain a thick, healthy lawn. A vigorously growing lawn will crowd out weeds and block the sun weed seeds need to germinate and thrive. As a result, fewer herbicides may be needed and homeowners can spend less times on their hands and knees pulling out weeds. Mow at the right height Crabgrass is a notoriously virulent weed that can quickly snuff out blades of grass. Crabgrass likes hot, dry conditions, and it only takes one plant to spread the seeds that can overtake the lawn. Preventing these conditions can stop crabgrass from flourishing. Mowing at higher heights and leaving grass blades taller can shade the soil, helping to prevent the germination of crabgrass. Shady conditions also will help the soil retain moisture and prevent the arid conditions crabgrass likes so much. Water deeply Weeds are accustomed to growing in adverse
conditions, including especially hot temperatures. When such conditions arise, weeds establish deep roots while the roots of the grass can easily die off. Instead, when watering, wet the soil to a depth of four to six inches. This helps grass to establish strong root systems that will help lawns overpower pesky weeds. Time weed killers Whether you manually remove weeds or apply weed killers, timing is key. Combat weeds in the early spring before they have a time to fully form and start proliferating through seed dispersement. Once seeds spread, their growth is difficult to control. Recognize that no single herbicide or weeding tactic will work for every type of weed. Broadleaf weeds, like dandelions, unwanted grasses, and sedges are the three most common types of weeds. Homeowners will have to adapt based on the type of weed that is most prevalent in their lawns. Watch fertilizer amounts Strike a balance with fertilizer, finding the right amount to deliver continuous nutrition to the lawn, but not overfeed it so that weeds can thrive. Many lawns only require fertilizer once or twice annually, in the autumn and spring. By following these guidelines, lawn and garden enthusiasts can prevent the proliferation of unsightly and potentially harmful weeds.

How and when to fertilize your lawn general rule of thumb is that the lawn will need to be fertilized in the spring at the very least. After that, fertilization schedules should be customized according to grass type, climate and other factors. Spring is a prime time to fertilize because the lawn is reviving after a long season of cold weather and dormancy. Come spring, lawns need to be fed to turn green and grow. Soil supplies some of the nutrients grass needs, but many soils lack elements that lawns need to survive the growing season. Lawn and garden experts at Lowes say a healthy and actively growing lawn uses a great deal of energy, and fertilizer will provide the boost it requires. Fertilizer helps
promote new root and leaf growth, aid in recovery from damage, reduce weeds, and replace nutrients lost to water runoff.
Fertilizing the right way Follow these steps to feed the lawn and help it thrive. • Identify the type of grass in your lawn and consult with a garden center to find the right type of fertilizer for your grass. Many grasses are categorized by season and may be referred to as cool season, transitional or warm season grasses. • Test the soil to check for pH. You want the soil to be as close to neutral as possible so it can readily process the nutrients in the fertilizer. R0013778727
Various components go into creating beautiful, lush lawns. Lawn maintenance involves ensuring lawns have all of the nutrients they need to thrive. Fertilizer is essential when feeding lawns, but fertilizing a lawn involves more than spreading fertilizer around the yard and hoping for the best. Fertilizing is a process that should be done carefully and timed correctly for optimal results. According to Scotts®, a premier lawn seed and care company, no two lawns are alike and each lawn has different needs. The type of grass and whether a lawn is mostly in the sun or shade may dictate fertilizer requirements. While many lawns are comprised of several different grasses, a
• Broadcast or rotary spreaders will evenly distribute fertilizer and will not cause striping on the lawn like drop spreaders might. Resist the urge to fertilize by hand, as you may lay an uneven amount of product, producing burns and brown spots. • Fertilizers come in slow-release, fast-release, and weed and feed formulations. Which fertilizer you use will depend on the type of grass you have and how much time you have to devote to lawn maintenance. Slow-release fertilizers may be preferable because they do not need to be reapplied often. • Use caution and set the spreader to distribute less product if you are unsure how much to apply. Exces-
sive fertilizer can damage a lawn. • Water the lawn well after application, and always follow the fertilizer manufacturer’s instructions. • Keep people and pets off of the lawn for a day or two after application. • Scotts recommends that lawns with warm-season grass be fed over the summer as they grow steadily from spring to fall. • Another application of fertilizer in the fall will supply lawns with nutrients to continue to grow and then survive winter. Build a strong lawn by feeding it effectively. Dense, healthy lawns can strangle weeds and lead to beautiful landscapes.
