Kingston Transit on a roll: two new express bus routes launching By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston Transit is launching two new express routes, and is hoping more people will give the bus a try. Starting May 4, passengers in the central and east areas of the city will get the same 15-minute rush hour service as those in the west end have had for about two years. The new 601 and 602 routes will provide a more direct trip for passengers traveling between Pittsburgh district and the downtown area, including stops in the St. Lawrence Business Park, Greenwood Park, Rideau Town Centre, Highway 15, Royal Military College, downtown, Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital. The other express route, known as 701 and 702 serving central Kingston, will strengthen the availability of service along Gardiners Road, Bath Road, downtown, to the King’s Crossing Centre and Kingslake Plaza at Highway 401 via Division Street. The 601 and 602 express routes will offer 15 minute service between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. from Monday to Friday, with 30 minute service on evenings, The KCVI Blues defeated the Bayridge Secondary School Blazers 3-2 in a KASSAA senior weekends and holidays.

peak times and 30 minute service during offpeak times. The phased-in express service caps a five year plan to improve the speed and frequency of public transit. The city has invested millions of dollars to purchase more buses, hire extra drivers and install or upgrade dozens of bus shelters. “As a result of this phased expansion the annual municipal contribution to support transit is projected to grow from $8.1 million in 2011 to $12.7 million in 2015,” accordContinued on page 6

Ferry frustrations continue for Amherst Island residents News – Residents of Amherst Island are already feeling the pain of the ferry shuffle, and they have a few more months of headaches to come. “This is something that happens to us twice over a five year period,” explained Loyalist Township Mayor Bill Lowry. “Either the Wolfe Island ferry will go out for repair or our ferry will go out for repair and the Ministry has to coordinate a switch over of ferries to replace ours.” In this case, the Wolfe Islander III was sent to dry dock in Hamilton for repairs at the beginning of April. In order to compensate for its departure the remaining ferries in the area – the Frontenac II, the Quinte Loyalist and the Glenora – have shifted to fill the gap. While this may seem like a logical solution, the usual ferry that services Amherst Island (Frontenac II) holds 32 cars and the replacement ferry (Quinte Loyalist) can only hold 18 cars and is restrictive in terms of size of vehicles. “When it happens to us we never get upgraded or even an equal size replacement, we are always downsized,” said Lowry. “This has gone on for decades and it looks like it will go on for decades more and there just seems to

more sustainable.” Lowry and his office have contacted the local representatives for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to arrange a time to talk about these issues, but as of last week they still have not received a reply. “We need to sit down and talk about a better long term solution,” said Lowry. “Right now we have no

light at the end of the tunnel and that is totally ridiculous. This isn’t the 1950s anymore and this ferry is a necessity for people living on these islands.” Residents of the township have been voicing their concerns to Lowry since the shuffle occurred and he’d like to be able to work on a solution for now and the future,

but without a reply from the local representatives his next step will be contacting the Ministry directly. “As far as I’m concerned we are operating with the potential of having a very inconvenient and disruptive event occur,” he said. “These ferries are the lifeline for two islands and something needs to change.”

be no contingency or any idea of sustainability when it comes to these four ferries and the area they serve.” Lowry is also frustrated with that lack of notice the Township receives before the ferries switch over. The Township is aware of what year repairs will occur and they have a rough idea of the month, but they usually only receive 24 to 48 hours’ notice before the swap. “The people who make these decisions don’t seem to understand what a family and workers have to do to plan for the chain of events that occur when they can’t get on a ferry that they rely on,” said Lowry. “They have to make arrangements for transportation or make arrangements to store vehicles on one side and that typically takes more than a day to figure out.” The smaller ferry also causes disruptions for businesses on Amherst Island. Larger trucks, construction equipment, agriculture equipment and even some delivery trucks can’t fit on the temporary ferry. Lowry is also concerned that the ferry will have an impact on tourism for both Amherst Island and Glenora. “They are hoping to have the ferries back on July 1, but we’ll see how that goes. I understand that certain repairs may take longer, but that is just another reason to come up with a better solution that is

News – The city’s drive to create a more open government could benefit parents of young children. Kingston may be the first city in Ontario to explore the cost and guidelines of providing on-site child care at city-sponsored public meetings. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Coun. Peter Stroud. Coun. Mary Rita Holland, the mother of a young daughter who introduced the fact-finding motion, says parents are often excluded from participating in public consultation meetings – like those hosted by city staff, committees or council - because they can’t afford or can’t arrange child care. Coun. Holland says technology, such as filling out online surveys, can only go so far to allow citizens to give their input on matters of municipal interest. “Engaging citizens in person needs to be more convenient.” Many young families are being denied the opportunity to participate in the development of community policies due to the demands of raising their children, and it’s difficult for them to attend public meetings, which usually occur around supper time, she added.

Her motion, unanimously endorsed by council, calls on staff to present options for the potential creation of on-site child care at public meetings. The report will go to a committee for review by the end of June. “There’s no Ontario municipality that provides this type of program,” she added. While councillors applaud the initiative, some expressed concern about the potential municipal liability to monitor and regulate on-site child care, and also the cost to taxpayers to provide the service. Chief administrator Gerard Hunt says the cost and scope of on-site child care, and the type of public consultation where parents would be eligible for child care service, will be part of staff’s report. “I couldn’t believe we haven’t done this before in the 21st century,” said Coun. Rob Hutchison. Mayor Bryan Paterson says this initiative clearly fits within one of Kingston’s new priorities to foster open government. “This motion aligns with that.” Coun. Lisa Osanic suggested the city could recruit high school students looking to increase their community volunteer hours, a condition of their graduation, to serve as caregivers whenever the city hosts a public meeting.

unconscious. The David Suzuki

Foundation’s (DSF) fourth annual 30x30 Nature Challenge – a campaign to get Canadians into “the nature habit” by spending 30 minutes a day outside for 30 consecutive days – launched April 22. Over the past three years, tens of thousands of individuals and hundreds of schools and workplaces have taken the challenge, reaping the many benefits of regular time spent outdoors. “A growing chorus of scientists and researchers agree: time spent in nature makes us happier, healthier and less stressed,” said Aryne Sheppard, DSF 30x30 Challenge campaign lead. “Getting a daily dose of nature through the 30x30 Nature Challenge is the best prescription for a healthy, happy spring.” People who register at www.davidsuzuki. org/30x30 get daily tips on how to add green time to busy routines during the month of May. There are also free tool kits for workplaces and schools with ideas for getting colleagues and students involved. “Getting 30 minutes outside can be a walk in a nearby park, eating lunch under a tree or holding a business meeting on a park bench or at the beach instead of in a boardroom,” said Sheppard. “Of course, we should all add

In order for KEDCO to measure its success and better communicate its level of activity, the following metrics have been put in place for the organization to track and gauge activity from year to year. In 2014, KEDCO achieved:

JOBS CREATED Jobs created may result from either new jobs from the attraction of a company to the city or additional jobs created through the growth of existing businesses. KEDCO measures jobs facilitated from opportunities where KEDCO staff have played a direct role in supporting the win of the opportunity.

INVESTMENT FACILITATED

JEFF GARRAH, CEO MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER We are pleased to present KEDCO’s 2014 Annual Report highlighting our activities over the past year. As the final year under the 2010-2014 Strategic Plan, we feel pride in a number of significant accomplishments achieved both last year and over the span of the five year plan. In 2014, we continued to position Kingston as a premier destination to visit, live, work and do business. The community has benefitted from stable growth over the past five years and there was new opportunity to push the agenda for making Kingston the most competitive place to do business – which in turn attracts great numbers of visitors and newcomers to live and work. Small businesses account for over 50 per cent of Kingston’s economic makeup and our Small Business Development Centre realized a recordbreaking year of consultations with entrepreneurs and business owners in 2014. KEDCO’s goals of growing jobs and investment were not achieved in isolation – it is our local business community and organizations that deserve recognition for their choice to invest in themselves and in Kingston’s collective success. 16 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, May 7, 2015

Investment dollars are tracked with similar methodology as jobs facilitated. KEDCO must have been a part of the process in which new dollars are invested in the city. New jobs secured for the city are calculated based on an average one-year salary at $40,000. This salary is only captured in the first year of hire and is based on the median salary of Kingston employees.

OPPORTUNITIES CREATED An opportunity is defined as a qualified lead which has a real potential to create new job(s) or new direct monetary investment for the city. Opportunities may be in the sales pipeline for an undetermined amount of time, due to the nature and complexities of the specific deal.

COMPANY VISITS A company visit is when a KEDCO staff person undertakes an on-site meeting with a local organization to discuss business challenges and opportunities, areas where support could be delivered or any issues of concern. Often, new opportunities arise from company visits.

SALES CALLS A sales call is when a KEDCO staff person undertakes a meeting with qualified tour operators, sport organizations and event right holders to promote Kingston as a destination for upcoming meetings, conferences, group travel, tours and sporting events.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD A strong economic development strategy leads to job growth, new investments, improved wages and an overall increase in economic output. An important aspect of the KEDCO Board of Director’s work in 2014 was confirming the framework for the Corporation’s 2015-2020 Strategic Plan. We are excited to have launched this ambitious plan to facilitate $500 million of new investment and bring 5,000 new jobs to the community over the next five years. During the 2014 municipal election, we heard loud and clear the importance of the economy and economic development issues. While we can agree or disagree on strategies, sectors to pursue and sales and marketing tactics, one thing is certain – Kingstononians are keen to see job and investment creation occur. We need to strive to ensure future generations have opportunities to live and work here. We need to ensure entrepreneurs and innovators are supported, feel welcome and are celebrated for their intrinsic role in our economy. We understand the need to raise awareness of the important work KEDCO undertakes to sustain and transform our economy and we are committed to supporting the Corporation’s efforts.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Highway 33 Improvements From Bath to Collins Bay Road G.W.P. 4225-07-00 THE STUDY The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained the Ainley Group to provide Preliminary, Detailed Design and Environmental Assessment studies on Highway 33 from Bath to Collins Bay Road (approximately 14.5 km). The communities of Millhaven and Amherstview are located within the study area, with the eastern end of the project limits within the boundary of the City of Kingston. The study limits are shown in the key map below. The proposed improvements include rehabilitation of the existing pavement, roadway widening to accommodate paved shoulders at seven (7) locations, signal upgrades, drainage improvements and replacement of non-structural culverts. Existing roadside safety measures will be reviewed and repaired or adjusted where warranted. The proposed improvements are being undertaken to improve the pavement condition and reduce the long-term maintenance requirements for the facility.

A shoreline risk assessment is also being completed between Adolphustown and Collins Bay Road; however, the assessment is not a component of this Preliminary, Detailed Design and Environmental Assessment study. Information from the assessment will be utilized to determine any future actions that may be required to address shoreline erosion within the Highway 33 right-of-way. THE PROCESS The project is following an approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ undertaking in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). The study will include an assessment of potential impacts from the undertaking on the study area environment. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held to provide members of the public with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed design. The time and location of the PIC will be published in local newspapers prior to the event. Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and will be made available for a 30-day public and agency review period. Notification of submission of the TESR for review will be published in local newspapers prior to commencement of the review period. Comments and information regarding this study are being collected to assist in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. These comments will be maintained on file for use during the study in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. All comments, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. COMMENTS Interested persons are invited to provide comments regarding the above-noted Highway 33 improvements.

News – We only have one earth and one chance to treat it right – that was the takeaway message from the fifth annual environmental summit at Bayridge Secondary School (BSS); on April 22, Earth Day, students from across the Limestone board gather to participate in discussions, attend workshops and hear guest speakers all focused on the environment. “Each year we invite schools to choose 10 students in Grades 7-12 who have an interest in environmental issues to come out for the day and participate,” explained student organizer Isabelle Burns. “We organize presenters and we talk about things like salamanders, energy conservation, and other environmental issues that are happening right now.” This year, students heard presentations on everything from sustainable energy use to light pollution and even space debris. Some of the presenters were guest speakers, while others were students in the Environmental Leadership Focus Program. Amanda Van Steijn focused on electronic waste and over consumption for her presentation. “I hope that people are impacted by our talks because often you can go to seminars or things like that, but I feel like we may be able to make more of an impact because we are peers with the attendees.”

The idea of students educating other students was also seen in the presentation by keynote speaker Will Sanderson who spoke about his recent Antarctic expedition. Sanderson, a Sydenham High School student, spent two weeks in Antarctic over Christmas break last year and worked with Students on Ice. During his presentation, Sanderson spoke about the effects of climate change on the area, the different species of penguins he saw and the need for young people to take action in whatever way they can when it comes to the environment. He made quite the impact on students. “He is our age and that really shows that we can make a difference,” said Tiffanie Bankosky. “Usually speakers are professionals or university professors and while they are great, it is easier for us to connect with someone like Will. If he did it, why can’t I.” The goal of the summit was to educate students about different environmental issues and show them what they can do to make a change. Burns hopes that students will take what they have learned back to their own schools and maybe make some positive changes. “Maybe some will initiate an environmental club at their school or they will work to get composters put into their school or maybe they will just think twice about their own habits when it comes to recycling,” said Burns. “Small things can have an impact and anyone can make a difference.”

Protect the environment with safe boating Recreational boating reaches its peak when the weather warms up and people take to waterways in droves. Spending a day on the water enjoying the scenery or trying your luck at fishing are popular pastimes. Following proper boating practices and etiquette can protect everyone onboard. Although ensuring passenger safety should be a priority, safeguarding against environmental impacts while boating also should be a concern. Marinas and various marine areas can become contaminated with pollutants generated from boating activities. Boat cleaning, fueling and marine head discharge are just a few of the pollutants that can find their ways into the water. A past study in the marine reserve of Cape Creus in the Mediterranean Sea found that boat anchoring also is a considerable threat to marine habitats, as vulnerable ecologies can be damaged by anchors. Although there are regulations in place to protect marine life and ecosystems, these rules aren’t always adhered to. Recreational boaters can do their part to keep oceans, bays, rivers, and lakes pristine by adhering to some sound advice. · Reduce engine exhaust. Whenever possible, row, paddle or use sails to decrease engine use and subsequent exhaust. When engines must be used, do not idle unnecessarily. Always steer clear of the aft of the boat, where fuel fumes and carbon monoxide can cause serious health implications. · Keep trash on the vessel. Do not discard any items over the side of the boat. Even seemingly harmless items can impact the environment. Store garbage in a bag and dispose of it properly when you return to the marina or dock. Secure

items onboard so they will not blow off and end up in the water. · Avoid antifouling paints. Antifouling paints are special paints applied to the underside of vessels to prevent or slow down the growth of barnacles and other organisms. Maritime New Zealand notes that these paints can harm other sea life and prove dangerous when scraped off and not discarded properly. · Keep boats in proper working order. Poorly maintained boats may harm the environment. Inefficiently working engines can produce more exhaust and contaminate the air and water. Oil and other mechanical fluids can leak into the water and affect the marine environment. Proper maintenance helps keep boats safe and minimizes their impact on the environment. · Use pump-out stations. Pump out stations at marinas enable boaters to safely dispose of the contents from sanitary systems without waste ending up in the water. Commercial ships, such as tankers and bulk cargo carriers, have the added threat of ballast water. Ballast water keeps vessels buoyant. However, when this water is discharged at the next port of call, it can transfer biological materials, like bacteria and plants, from foreign waters. These materials can compromise the integrity of ecological systems. · Respect marine ecosystems. Boaters who plan to enter the water and explore should tread delicately. Coastal areas often play home to birds and other wildlife. Use caution around reefs and habitats. Safe boating involves following the rules of the water and also keeping marine environments clean and protected.

When is it time to retire your ride? unique driver with unique habits of maintenance or auto-abuse, similar makes and models can enjoy very different lifestyles and dates of admission into that eternal salvage yard in the sky. But no matter how fastidious or abusive we might be about car repairs, nor how many thousands we spend, Canadian roads and weather are the great equalizers. As I mentioned before in these columns, one carmaker was once upfront enough to me to admit that they engineered, designed, and built their vehicles to a 10-year/250,000 km life expectancy. This was a mainstream manufacturer, which consistently occupies one of the top five sales spots in North America every year. But long before these milestones, we should be inspecting and getting some advice on critical areas of our autos. If your wheels are driven 12 months of the year and get to enjoy the best of our winters, then around the five year mark you will want to have certain areas inspected for rust (in addition to regular maintenance). Often times attentive lube-bay techs will pay attention to the undercarriage of older vehicles they service and bring any issues to the attention of the driver. But you can’t really rely on

One of the clear indicators that it’s time to replace your ride unfortunately only comes with a major breakdown. When you’re faced with a major repair that will cost an amount equal to or greater than the current wholesale value of the vehicle, it’s time to stop and consider your options. If the repair history of your vehicle has been good and it’s structurally sound and a general inspection doesn’t reveal any future headaches, you may be well advised to go ahead and bite the bullet. But it’s still a roll of the dice with an older vehicle. Consider the benefits along with the costs of a replacement vehicle. Better fuel mileage, safer protection systems, and lower maintenance costs at the beginning, may make a financial picture that sees you behind the wheel of a something new(er).

Spring Check Up

be found with visual checks and some require a little more invasive procedures such as removing fender liners and underbody shields. Often times a metal panel or frame-rail will look perfectly normal but will bend or dent with relatively light taps of a hammer indicating that rust is starting to take its toll. A large source of metal on any make or model of car can be particularly expensive to deal with as the vehicle ages and can provide a dizzying array of symptoms; that would be the copper wiring. As copper wiring corrodes, due to exposure to wet salty environments, it turns to powder. Exposed connectors and even well protected ones can exhibit this and the symptoms can range from check engine lights to failed electrical systems, to no-start conditions. While there are too many electrical connectors and wiring harnesses in a modern vehicle to be able to inspect in a reasonable period of time, a qualified and experienced tech can examine the most vulnerable and the most common points of failure. As there is very little preventative maintenance that can be performed to prevent electrical system corrosion failure, it’s pretty much a fix-itwhen-it-breaks type of approach.

THE RIDE IS ON US!

With a couple of weeks of beautiful spring weather to boost our spirits, more than a few of us are feeling the seasonal pull towards automotive dealership lots in full bloom with shining chrome and hot wheels. But many others prefer to stick with their current ride out of comfort, sentimentality, and the fear of new vehicle loan or lease payments. The average age of a Canadian vehicle is now pegged at over nine years. But when is it time to pull the plug and plates off of the daily driver, and what are the telltale signs of age you shouldn’t ignore. No automaker will publicly state what lifespan they design their vehicles to endure. And with the extremely wide variety of vehicles available in our market, from the entry-level subcompact to the ultraexotic dream-car, it’s hard to pick an accurate time or mileage limit out of the air. And as each vehicle is owned by a very

a simple oil change service to catch the subtleties of the corrosion process with its gradual efforts to return our transportation investments to the ground. It’s just as important to have a full bi-annual comprehensive check up by a qualified tech. They will look for such things as rusting brake and fuel lines for example; a topic that received recent attention from the U.S. National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration (NHTSA). In a public release bulletin earlier this year, NHTSA urged all older vehicle owners to have a complete undercarriage desalination wash done every spring after the winter roadsalt season has ended (the undercarriage spray at most automated cars washes do this job well). It seems that NHTSA just figured out what many Canadians have known for years; that soft spongy brake pedal and dash warning lights are giving the heads up that some immediate attention is needed. But rusted and leaking brake lines aren’t the only effect of more than a few winter’s driving. Suspension and exhaust components as well as fuel tanks and their retaining straps and floor and body panels can also be ravaged by our love of road-salt. Some of these concerns can

A new take on a beloved Shakespearean comedy By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Events – A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most well-known comedic plays. It’s a tale of whimsy, love and lust and is set in an idyllic world - which in the case of the latest King’s Town Players production, is the 1950s. “I think that time period suits the play really well,” said director Steven Spencer. “It is after a war where there is a lot of reconciliation and it is also a time when we think of the young and innocent moving away from repression. The costuming is also fun for that era, so that helps.” Spencer has directed off and on for the past 10 years and has acted throughout that time too. He is an admirer of

plays and how they are staged and he loves taking on a production and seeing his vision come to life. “It is nice to get in and play with the things that you always thought you could do better or that you could make work better,” he explained. “You never know how it will turn out, but that is exciting.” As an actor, Spencer has performed in a number of Shakespeare productions, but the first one he felt really connected to was A Midsummer Night’s Dream. “I am a long time Shakespeare fan and they are always big, epic plays that are interesting to take on,” he said. “I’ve seen probably a dozen productions of this play over the years and I thought it would be fascinating to explore and direct.” Spencer’s vision is the play set in the 1950s. He has incorporated this theme into the sub plots of the play and he has chosen to take separate tones with each one. “I wanted to play up the very comic subplot of actors putting on a play and create a sort of parody of the actors,” he explained. “We tried to make the story of the young lovers as romantic and teenage as we could and then the story of the fairies we’ve tried to make it as magical as it can be. Hopefully it all comes together NEW and works.” ! The play has been challenging at times because it features a very

The cast of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ rehearses at the Kings Town Studios. The show runs May 6-9 and 13-16 at the Rotunda Theatre. large cast, but Spencer hopes each character stands out on stage. He has also worked to incorporate a lot of physical acting with singing, dancing and clowning; for 18 year old actor James Hyett, who plays Demetrius, this has been the best part of the production. “I love doing all of the physical stuff in this play. There is a scene where everyone loves everyone and we all fall all over each other and that has been really fun to be part of,” he said. “I love the whimsy of this play too, it’s very infectious.”

Taking on a Shakespeare play is never easy for an actor, but Hyett has enjoyed the challenge. He has played the parts of Romeo and Ferdinand in previous productions, but taking on Demetrius was a little different. “He is one of the four lovers in the play and he is a bit of jerk,” explained Hyett. “I am used to being more sincere and it has been hard to shake that. I had to learn to be more harsh and while that is difficult it is also pretty fun.” Hyett encourages people to come see the show and its innovative approach to

a classic. “Steve has done a really good job and the play is really funny and entertaining. It all fits together really well. I think audiences will really enjoy the production.” King’s Town Players production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ runs May 6 – 9 and 13 – 16 at 8 p.m. at the Rotunda Theatre, Theological Hall, Queen’s University. Tickets are $20 per person and available online at www.kingstonboxoffice.com or at the door.

Doing it their way: husband and wife team up to bring special tribute to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Old Blue Eyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to The Grand stage By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Events - Here in Kingston, music fans have long associated local singer John Malcolm with the legendary Frank Sinatra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be walking down the street and someone will call out â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey Frankie!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know my name.â&#x20AC;? For many years, John has performed Sinatra music and other oldies in his band, A Bit of Nostalgia, along side his sons Ryan Malcolm (of Canadian Idol fame) and Reagan Smith. Now, on May 30, he will star in a special one-time-only show, It Was a Very Good Year, which was written, produced and directed by his wife, Deborah Smith-Malcolm. The play is a celebration of Sinatra and his music, and features an all-star local cast including Mary Barclay, Jim East, Michael K. Myers, Richard Z. Palimaka, Glenn Rea and Andy Palmer. Indeed, 2015 is a special year for Frank Sinatra fans, as it marks the centenary of the singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People all over the world are doing things in honour of [Sinatraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th birthday], so I went online to see what other people were doing,â&#x20AC;? Deborah explains.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing a biography of Sinatra â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where he was born, his songs and through until he died and I thought of this concept â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit different than most.â&#x20AC;? It Was a Very Good Year spans six decades, beginning at the start of Sinatraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long, many-faceted career and ending in 1993, just before his death. Each supporting character is based on a real-life fan, some of whom Deborah spoke to personally when writing the play; each delivers a monologue expressing how Sinatra and his music changed his or her life. John and Deborah both emphasize that the show focuses on the positive aspects of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Old Blue Eyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and what he meant to his fans, leaving out any less-than-flattering rumours that may still be floating around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no negative stuff about whether or not he was associated with the mafia, none of that,â&#x20AC;? John explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very positive story about him and these people and how their lives intertwined with his.â&#x20AC;? In between each monologue, John sings several Sinatra songs, capturing the croonerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essence during each distinct chapter of his career â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the 1940s heartthrob to the Academy Award winning actor of the 1950s to the Las Vegas superstar of the

1960s and beyond. He notes that this sort of performance is quite different from what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in the past, and getting into character has been an exciting new challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done so much of his music for so long, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always done it in my own way. Of course for the play now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to get an awful lot more of his nuances and things like that that I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really thought about before.â&#x20AC;? Sinatra, he says, was really quite playful when performing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He liked to ad lib. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why his music, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at it for the first time as an entertainer, is hard to doâ&#x20AC;ŚIt took me a while to get that but once I got it down

Amherstview Brownies want residents to follow the ‘Yellow Fish Road’ By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – The residential streets of Amherstview just got a little more coulourful, and hopefully more informative thanks to the 2nd Amherstview Brownies. On April 27, the group spent the evening painting yellow fish by storm drains throughout the community. The hope is that these fish remind residents to think twice about what they wash down the drain. “It’s part of an initiative called ‘Yellow Fish Road’,” explained leader Karen Stephenson, or ‘Brown Owl’. “The idea is that these fish will create awareness about storm drains and the issues that can occur when harsh chemicals and garbage are washed down them.” Yellow Fish Road started in Alberta and is now a nationwide environmental education program designed and managed by Trout Unlimited Canada. The program’s goal is to help Canadians understand that storm drains are the doorways to our rivers, lakes and streams. Preventing pollutants from entering

our storm drains is critical to protecting and improving our watersheds, water quality and aquatic habitat. “Part of the programming for the Brownies this year is to learn about conservation, the environment and community and this ties in perfectly with that,” said Stephenson. “We did some work before learning about water filtration and now the girls can apply that knowledge to this project and hopefully inform residents too.” Stephenson went to the township for approval for the project and she also worked with an engineer to find the proper storm drains to mark. The Brownies were also visited by an engineer from Loyalist Township, who taught them how water filtration systems work. “The girls even created their own filtration systems out of water bottles,” said Stephenson. “It was a really great experience.” Stephenson hopes that over the next few years Brownie groups can continue to mark the drains in Amherstview until they are all marked. “We probably won’t get onto the main streets because of the traffic and safety issues, but I hope we can eventually get all of the residential areas done,” said Stephenson. The girls in the group had a lot of fun marking the drains Continued on page 49

May 24 was the gateway to summer activities and traditions

It was especially warm that April. The snow had long since gone, and the days were warm enough that the roads were no longer muddy ruts, and we could even see Spring buds coming out on the trees. Our winter clothes, including our hateful long underwear, had been packed away, and we could smell the mothballs Mother had generously scattered into the trunk in the upstairs hall where our wool sweaters and other heavy clothing would sit out the hot summer months. The creek at the bottom of the West Hill had receded, and the Bonnechere had settled into a gently flowing river cutting through the lower reaches of our farm. Spring was warm enough to be called Summer, and that

was all it took for my three brothers to decide it was now time to go swimming in the Bonnechere, even though the month of May had yet to begin. Of course, Mother put the kibosh on that idea! There would be no swimming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it! My brother Emerson said if they waited that long, the summer would be half over at the rate we were going. Emerson went outside to the big thermometer that was nailed to the house with “Supertest” in bright yellow letters on top. “It’s 75 degrees,” Emerson wailed. “I don’t care if it says 100! There will be no swimming until the 24th of May,” Mother said, slamming the screen door shut with a bang. Father came from the barn to get a cold glass of water, using his battered straw hat as a fan. He took his red polka-dot handkerchief out of his back overall pocket, and wiped his face, sending streaks of dust from the hayloft down his face. “Sure is hot in the barn,” he said. Emerson was joined by my brothers Everett and Earl in a plea for a dip in

the Bonnechere. Well, they could have saved their breath. There would be no swimming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it. Emerson wanted to know what was so important about the 24th of May. He reminded Mother that was almost a month away, and by that time, at the rate we were going, with the heat and all, the Bonnechere could easily be nothing more than a trickle, and the summer would be half over, and that would be the end of swimming! My older and much wiser sister Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour. The leaves were yet to come out, but the vines were thick enough that the sun had yet to penetrate. I thought, since I seldom had Audrey all to myself, that this would be a good time to ask her what was so important about the 24th of May. “Well,” Audrey said leaning back in the old wood swing, “Mother says a lot of things should wait until the 24th of May, and a lot of things change on that day too.” I waited for Audrey to speak. She

looked like she was falling asleep. I was sitting across from her, and I nudged her with the toe of my shoe. “I’m thinking. I’m thinking,” she said. And then she rhymed off a few things, which made little sense to me, but obviously were important to Mother. “Well, you will see that Mother never wears a summer hat to church until the 24th of May. She said in New York any woman caught wearing a summer hat before the 24th of May would be considered a woman of poor taste.” Audrey took a long breath. “And you certainly wouldn’t wear white gloves before then for the same reason. And that same goes for summer shoes too.” I was mulling over this bit of news in my mind’s eye. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why a date on a calendar was so important. And then Audrey reminded me of the many little flat wood boxes of sprouted seeds in the kitchen waiting to be put into the garden. “Never, ever, has Mother transplanted those boxes until after the 24th of May. You’re too young to remem-

ber, but one year she planted every last box, and two days later, the frost came, and killed every last one of the plants.” I had no idea what plants getting hit with frost, wearing a summer hat and white gloves and summer shoes, and swimming in the Bonnechere all had to do with the 24th of May. Audrey started to doze off in the swing. I mulled over all she had said, and I figured, next to Easter and Christmas, the 24th of May must surely be one of the most important days of the year. I couldn’t wait for that date to roll around, and I decided right then and there, I would write in my diary all that had happened on that date so that years down the road, I would remember what an important day it was when I was very young.

Kingstonians invited to speak up and help create a healthier Canada By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Events - With a federal election on the horizon, it’s time for voters to start thinking about the issues that matter most to them; undoubtedly, one of the major ballot issues for most Canadians is that of health care – what needs to be improved and how that will happen. On May 13, family physician and vice president of the Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, Dr. Danielle Martin, will be visiting Kingston to talk about what she sees as the major issues in Canadian healthcare and offering solutions on how to move forward. “My area of focus and interest as an academic and as an advocate is around improving the healthcare system and specifically improving the quality, accessibility and equity within the framework of Canadian public healthcare,” said Martin. “I will be speaking about what I think people should be paying attention to as we head into election time.” Martin has spoken across the country about the issue of Canadian healthcare and her talks centre on what she calls the ‘medicare advantage’. She would like to see a health care system that is built on the strengths and successes of our publicly funded healthcare system and specifically on the strength and fairness of a healthcare that is based

on need rather than ability to pay. As part of that, she also sees cost control and the administrative simplicity of having a single insurance plan for anyone living in a given province as a strength to build off of. “What I am going to do in the talk is suggest that we take that medicare advantage and build on it and extend our strengths of fairness and cost control and simplicity to other areas where the health of Canadians can really be improved,” she said. “The two things I’m going to focus on are poverty reduction and pharma care as the two big ticket items where I think the federal government has potentially a really big role to play.” Martin acknowledges that a lot of people, even politicians, see healthcare as a provincial jurisdiction; however, she sees the health of Canadians as an issue that transcends the delivery of healthcare services. “I think there is a great deal that the federal government could do,” she explained. “I’m trying to draw a link for people in terms of what we should expect of Ottawa. Elections are about big ideas so this is the right time for us to all, as citizens, think about what those big ideas should be that we want to see our representatives debating.” Martin also hopes to turn conversations about healthcare into positive, more productive discussions. She wants people to stop focusing on the

Why everyone should ‘relay’ this spring By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Last June, Lorelee Treneer lost her best friend and coworker to cancer; at first she was angry and wanted to stay as far away from cancer as possible, but then she decided to leave all that negativity behind and work to make a difference. “I was feeling very bitter about the whole situation, but in February I decided to attend the breakfast for the Canadian Cancer Society,” explained Treneer. “I was very inspired by how many people volunteer for them and the stories I heard. I decided that instead of being bitter and angry, I should do something.” Thus Treneer, who manages the Kingston west branch of Curves fitness center, decided to participate in the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) Relay For Life. Gradually, she started gathering team members. “We now have 44 women participating. We’ve split into smaller teams and we are all walking to fundraise for Cancer and because

of our friend,” she said. “She was a staff member here and she was also my best friend so it was a loss for me and the business. She is very missed so we will all be walking for her.” In 2014, nearly 400 Relays took place across Canada with 128,734 participants. Together, they raised $42.2 million for the CCS and while this may seem like a lot, they are always in need of more funds. “At the breakfast, one of the women said she used to donate but never fundraised. Now she realizes that the reason she is alive is because people fundraised for her,” said Treneer. “It really struck me and showed me that everything we do makes a difference to someone else. I could be helping another friend, or a sister or myself in the future and it is our responsibility to help raise funds for that.” Every dollar raised or donated helps the CCS have a greater impact against more cancers in more communities, across Canada. The funds raised through Relay For Life help support cancer research, fund support groups and engage more Cana-

dians in the fight against cancer. “I think it is a great cause and the more you learn about the Cancer Society and what they do with their money the more you realize how important fundraising is,” said Treneer. Cancer research has come a long way and now over 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive compared to about 25 per cent in the early 1940s when funded research began. But cancer is still the leading cause of death in Canada. This year’s Relay For Life takes place at the Kingston 1000 Islands Sportsplex on June 6 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Participants are invited to walk or run together around the Lorelee Treneer will be participating in this year’s Relay For Life and track passing a baton to their fellow walking for her best friend. participants.

Reap the benefits of a well-insulated home

R0013250244

(NC) Many of us know that insulation plays a key role in keeping our homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. But did you know the benefits can go well beyond achieving basic R-value requirements? Quality insulation can provide a number of added benefits that contributes to the comfort, safety and efficiency of a home, including: Sound absorbency – Life is loud, but the right choice of insulation can help reduce noise transfer throughout your home. Insulating between floors and interior walls can help create a peaceful sanctuary in areas of your home, even when life is chaotic. A safe indoor environment – Good indoor air quality goes a long way to ensuring personal comfort.

Choosing insulation that is water repellant and resistant to mould, mildew, fungi, bacterial growth and rot—can help to prevent common issues behind your walls that may pose serious health and safety concerns and lead to costly repairs. Look to products that will not offgas or emit harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Savings – A properly insulated building will be more energy efficient, a benefit that will continue to provide return on investment long after the insulation install is complete. The result is reduced heating and cooling costs, less stress on your furnace and air conditioner (potentially leading to a longer equipment lifespan) and, at the end of day, more money in your pock-

et.

Fire-resistance – Certain insulations, particularly stone wool insulation products such as Roxul Comfortbatt and Safe ‘n’ Sound, can help buy valuable minutes in the event of a fire, withstanding temperatures of up to 1,177˚C. Non-combustible, this insulation exceeds the limits of most other insulating materials, and it won’t produce smoke or encourage the spread of flames. Performance - It’s important to remember that not all insulations are created equal. Some insulations can sag or contract over time, leaving gaps that can let outdoor air in and conditioned air out. Choosing insulation that is dimensionally stable, durable, and that offers long-term thermal performance

Beautiful Handcrafted Canadian Made Solid Wood Furniture SALE STARTS MAY 1ST

will ensure your home can stand up in even the most challenging conditions. Stone wool products are proven to perform in even the most extreme conditions, making them ideal for use in Canada. Ultimately, you can purchase insulation as many do, based on basic R-values, but when it comes to quality, comfort, safety and efficiency, is basic really the best choice? Quality counts when it comes to all building materials. Always look for products that will deliver benefits well beyond the status quo.

How to spot an unhealthy tree Perhaps because they can live for so many years, trees have a way of falling down homeowners’ landscaping priority lists. Trees also tend to be big and strong, so it’s no surprise that they often are overlooked in favor or other areas of a lawn and garden that don’t seem so strong in the face of Mother Nature. But trees are susceptible to damage and disease, and homeowners who learn to recognize symptoms of such problems can prevent them from escalating and reduce the risk that the trees will cause damage to their properties. The following are just some of the ways homeowners can determine if their trees are unhealthy. Homeowners who suspect they have a tree that poses a safety risk should contact a professional tree service for an immediate in-

spection and steer clear of the tree until an inspection has been performed. • Check around the base of the tree. The base of a tree may offer some telltale signs that the tree is unhealthy. Soil that is cracked or raised at the base of the tree may be indicative of a tree that has started to uproot. If you recognize any cracking or if the soil is raised, look at the tree to see if it is leaning. If the soil is cracked or raised because it is uprooting, then the tree might have already started to lean in the opposite direction of the cracking or raised soil. • Examine for fungus. The growth of fungus on the tree trunk or close to it may be a sign that the tree is rotting or decaying. Fungal growth, such as a sudden population of mushrooms, around the base of the tree is another sign of decay. If the wood behind fun-

gal growth crumbles easily, then homeowners should call a professional tree service, as the fungal problem on the tree has likely already been festering for quite some time. • Look for cavities on the trunk. Cracks and cavities on a tree may not be an emergency, but especially deep cracks and cavities may be indicative of a structural problem. Multiple cracks and cavities also serve as red flags. • Look for dead wood. It may sound simple, but dead wood poses a threat to the tree and anyone who happens to spend time in its vicinity. Dead wood snaps easily, and falling dead wood can harm anyone unlucky enough to be beneath the tree when the dead wood snaps. Dead wood branches won’t bend in the wind, and such branches frequently fall off of trees when

strong gusts of wind come along. Dead branches either won’t have leaves or the leaves will be brown (dead pine branches will have brown needles). • Weak connections. Unhealthy trees often have weak connections between their branches and their trunks. If branches don’t appear to be strongly connected to the tree bark, call a tree service to determine a solution. The tree might not be on its way out, but you may have to take steps to strengthen the connections so branches are not at risk of falling. Unhealthy trees can pose a significant safety hazard on a property. Homeowners who learn to recognize the signs of unhealthy trees can do something to prevent dying trees from damaging their homes.

Trending window treatments can affect your mood (NC) The overall ambience of a space sets the tone for how we feel far more than the individual decorative items. According to Kim Kiner, vice president of textile and material design for window treatment company Hunter Douglas, what directly affects that mood might surprise you. More often than not, it’s the lighting coming through the window. “Whether it’s soft, filtered light or bright sunshine cascading through your shades, the way these rays enter a room can change everything,” says Kiner. With so much at stake at the window here are a few of the popular trends she recommends to get the most out of the window dressings:

1. Motorization: Consumers today want a “connected home” with Internet-ready products that can be operated with the convenience of mobile devices. Have you heard of the Platinum App from Hunter Douglas? It allows users to create personalized scenes from morning light to movie night. You can control all the shades in your home with one click and time a scene with your alarm clock for a refreshing morning. The app is even available with a sunrise/sunset timer feature that uses GPS data to calculate the exact times for a specific location. 2. Energy efficiency: Everyone wants to live more responsibly. Therefore, products that offer

enhanced energy efficiency to keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer are very popular. Energy-efficient window treatments are a smart way to conserve energy in your home. Duette Architella honeycomb shades for example, can help reduce solar heat gain at the window by up to 80 percent and heat loss through windows by up to 40 percent. And, the way the light filters into the room is beautiful. By conserving energy at the window, you can rest assured your cooling and heating systems won’t have to work as hard. The superior UV protection offered by soft, sheer Silhouette window shadings is trending with consumers as well.

3. Sophisticated textures: Window treatments are not just about function: they make a style statement. And the beauty and sophistication that textures add at the window is getting increased recognition. From natural textures to exquisite textile weaves such as linens and raw silks, they create a distinctive look that transforms an ordinary window to extraordinary. Fabrics for Alustra Vignette Modern Roman Shades, for example, include a grass cloth texture with a subtle sheen. Whether you’re living in a new space and starting from scratch or want to update your window décor, these trends will modernize your home and add unique style. R001

SpringHome 2015 Home improvement projects perfect for spring

Use this handy spring cleaning checklist (NC) After the long Canadian winter, there’s something about this time of year that inspires us to throw open our windows and let the fresh breeze in. Spring is an ideal time to de-clutter and infuse renewed energy into our living space. A complete spring clean overhaul can take days of course, so plan accordingly and set a realistic schedule. The following tips will soon have your home dustfree: • Before you begin cleaning, categorize the list of jobs required (e.g. cleaning baseboards, organizing cupboards, washing curtains). Although it seems easier to tackle all the vacuuming at once, completing one room at a time will give you the satisfaction to continue. • Begin with dusting and vacuuming surfaces— from ceiling to baseboards—as well as chandeliers, light bulbs and light fixtures. Spring cleaning does require a little old fashioned elbow grease. Scrub floors with a scrubbing brush and cleaning solution, clean the grout on tiled floors. If you don’t already own one, rent

a steam cleaner for carpets. • Take down window treatments and wash or dry clean. Wipe wooden blinds with a gentle wood cleaner, wash aluminum blinds outdoors where they can dry. Clean the inside of windows. • As a rule, work from the top down, so areas don’t get dirty again. However, when it comes to washing walls, it is easier to start from the bottom using a sponge mop. This way, you can more easily clean up any drips. • In the kitchen, thoroughly clean the tops of cabinets, fridges and stove vent. Be ruthless with the contents of your fridge and throw out anything old, or furry. Defrost your freezer, empty the contents and wipe the inside with a mix of a litre of hot water with 2 tablespoons of baking soda. • In the bedroom, flip your mattress and edit your wardrobe. Store away winter garments until the next season and get rid of clothes you haven’t worn for more than a year; don’t save them for “someday”. • Organize bookshelves and storage cabinets. Spring

cleaning is a good time to donate unused or unwanted items. One place you can donate is to a ReStore of homebuilding organization, Habitat for Humanity. It accepts everything from furniture, household products, to even the kitchen sink. And ReStores provide a tax

receipt for the value of your donation. You can find one in your community at www.habitat.ca/restore. • Spring cleaning is also an ideal time to safely dispose of expired medications and replace batteries in your smoke detector.

Most importantly, you will find knowledgeable and helpful staff that can help you choose the best products to get the job done efficiently and successfully. The staff at Kingston Paint all have their favourite products that they sell time and again. Kim’s favourite is the Benjamin Moore Regal line of paint. Formerly the Benjamin Moore Collection, Regal is now tinted with Gennex waterbased colorants which makes it low in VOC’s. It is heavy bodied for excellent coverage and comes in a washable matte, eggshell, pearl and semi-gloss finish. Lauren loves Benjamin Moore’s Advance. Available in a pearl or semi-gloss finish, Advance is perfect for painting cabinets and furniture. A waterborne alkyd, it has the flow and leveling qualities of an oil based paint, but the ease of soap and water clean up. Try it for your next

furniture spruce up! Arianne, our Window Treatments Expert, is really impressed with Maxxmar Window Fashion’s new Mandalay Alternative shades. They give the choice between optimal light control and total privacy. She finds it a well-priced alternative to shutters, giving your windows an elegant, soft, yet very casual look in a variety of colours to suit your home. Kayla really likes Frog Tape! With its Paint Block Technology, Frog Tape truly is unlike any other masking tape. The adhesive on the tape reacts with latex paint and instantly gels to form a barrier that seals the edges preventing paint bleed. Great for masking off graphics or for any project where precision lines are desired. Tanya thinks the short-handled angled paint brush is fantastic. With no long handle to get in the way, projects are easy. We carry these brushes in 1 1/2”, 2 “, 2 1/2” from Bennett tools, Proform and Corona. Whatever your painting project, come see us for quality products and expert advice!

Top Tools for Spring Cleaning (NC) The snow has finally melted and warmer weather has arrived. The trouble is, all that brilliant sunshine has a way of highlighting the mess that’s been hiding under the snow for all these months. Suddenly your spring cleaning “to-do” list is looking longer than ever. Now is the time to get outside and look after those neglected lawns and gardens to prepare for spring flowers and greenery. Three tools are essential to make quick work of the task at hand and to keep your outdoors looking beautiful all summer: 1. Lawnmower. Your grass loves the spring sunshine and will respond with rapid growth, so a lawnmower is vital to keeping your lawn looking lush and healthy. There are a variety of lawn mowers to choose from, depending on the size and shape of your outdoor

space. If you have a large space, you might want to consider a self-propelled mower to tackle big jobs with minimal effort. Other popular models include push-mowers and environmentallyfriendly electric mowers. Take the time to consider which mower is best suited to your needs. 2. Drill. Not just for spring maintenance, a good drill will help you complete small tasks around the outside (and inside) of your house. A new drill can also serve as an incentive to complete those DIY projects you’ve been putting off so take a look at the variety at any reputable tool dealer. Sears Canada tells us, for example, that there are many types of hand drills including pistol-grip drills, which are the most common for everyday use. Heavy-duty tasks might require a hammer drill that

can power through concrete or wood. Consider your summer projects to make sure you get the best tool for the tasks at hand. 3. Pressure washer. Winter salt and mud can wreak havoc on the surfaces of your home. A pressure washer is the best way to remove the dirt and stains that accumulate around the outside of your home. Keep your driveway and deck looking clean with a gas or electric pressure washer that easily attaches onto your garden hose. The higher the pressure, the tougher the cleaning power. For cleaning barbecue grills, patio furniture and windows, electric washers are generally lower in pressure, are more compact and easy to maneuver. Less time will be spent working and more time will be spent enjoying the

summertime if you have just the right tools to get jobs done efficiently. More

However, don’t rake the lawn until it has started to grow. ∙ Would you buy it? Walk around your entire home’s exterior with a critical eye.

Surround bushes and trees with dark or reddish-brown bark mulch; this will give a rich feel to the yard. Potted plants are another way to add a splash of colour and can be taken with you when you move. ∙ Mow the lawn. Remember not to cut the grass too short. With a grass level of 5 to 9 cm you will have a fine, sustainable lawn.

lutants. Even if they sound when you push the test button, outdated alarms must be replaced. If your smoke alarm is hardwired, battery powered or plug-in it should be replaced every 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years, depending on the brand. If you are not sure of their age, manufacturing dates can be found on stickers or under the alarm cover. When selecting safety devices, invest in models with the latest technology. Kidde, this country’s leading manufacturer of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, recently introduced its newest “Worry-Free” model lineup with advanced sensors that reduce false alarms. Alarms also feature a 10-year sealed lithium battery – meaning it doesn’t need to be replaced for the alarm’s entire lifespan. This summer, whether your vacation takes you to a cottage, an RV or a sleek watercraft, think fire and carbon monoxide safety first.

(NC) If you didn’t realize that cottages, mobile homes, boats and even pop-up trailers require smoke alarms, you’re not alone. Many people think smoke alarm laws are only applicable to permanent homes. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. Across Canada, building codes, provincial laws or municipal bylaws have distinct specifications for these types of spaces. Virtually every type of camper, trailer, RV, cottage and boat with living, cooking or sleeping quarters require a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. Many dwellings can also be at risk of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO), known as the ‘Silent Killer.’ This lethal gas is colourless, odorless and tasteless and is emitted from any fuel-burning device such as wood stoves, wood, oil, propane or gas fireplaces, appliances, stoves, heaters, coolers and generators. It is also given off from boat and vehicle exhaust. In addition to having heating systems, flues and ductwork checked annually by a professional it is good practice, and a minimum standard in many municipalities, to protect your family not only with a smoke alarm but also with at least one carbon monoxide alarm. This device is the only way to know if CO is present. In Ontario and Yukon, the law requires installation of CO alarms outside sleeping areas in any dwelling at risk of CO exposure. When first opening for cottage season, fire safety officials advise to take stock of your smoke and CO alarms before you kick back with a cold one. Fresh batteries should be installed, and cobwebs and dust lightly vacuumed off. It is essential to check if your smoke alarms are due for a replacement. Over time sensors can weaken and become obstructed with airborne pol-

Ideas for pool perimeter landscaping With the rise of the “staycation,” more and more homeowners are turning their backyards into their own private oases. The centerpiece of many such retreats is a refreshing and inviting

pool. Whether above-ground or inground models, pools make for welcoming spots to enjoy warm days and nights. A new pool can quickly turn a

Safety first Although the goal may be to soften the lines of the pool and/or create sight barriers that will provide some measure of privacy for swimmers, homeowners must put safety above all else. Before any decorative touches are added, it is important to surround a pool with a slip-resistant surface and fencing (many communities require fences be erected around pools). Consult with a landscaping contractor, who should be knowledgeable about safety codes, or speak to the permit-issuing department at town hall. There should be a list of requirements to ensure pool placement as well as any surrounding touches are legal and within code.

Nonslip surfaces Concrete, brick and pavers and decking are popular materials used to surround a pool. Installers can make recommendations on materials and finishes, but one suggestion is to choose a rough finish. Pool water can make surfaces slippery. Concrete that is stamped or scarred provides extra traction than a smooth surface. The same can be said for brick patios and pavers. Avoid smooth stones or pavers with shiny surfaces, as these may only increase the risk of falls. Homeowners who have chosen wood or composite decking to surround a pool should talk to their contractor about nonslip protective coatings. Such coatings typically are acrylic-based liquids applied like a paint or sealer. Some composite decks may be crafted with texture or a built-in coating to reduce slipping. In addition, use nonstick mats on decks and patios to provide a little extra footing where people enter and exit the

yard into the “it” spot to spend vacations or cool off at the end hot summer days. While pools are often the focal point of a backyard, many homeowners want their pools to blend seamlessly with the rest of their yards. When transforming a backyard that includes a pool, homeowners should consider a few factors to ensure each afternoon spent poolside is as safe as it is fun.

pool. Mulch and stone Homeowners often prefer some combination of mulch or stone to serve as a transition between the pool, concrete or paver hardscape and the lawn. Stone may be more practical for those with inground pools because it will not easily blow onto the water surface. With an above-ground pool, mulch or stone can do the trick, serving as a barrier so that pool water does not overly drench the surrounding lawn or damage grass after exposure to pool chemicals. Mulch and stone also will provide drainage from water runoff from the pool and rain. Another advantage of having an additional barrier between the pool and lawn is that lawn clippings will not be shot into the pool when mowing. Stone and mulch can be dressed up with statues, lawn ornaments and tolerant plants. Finishing touches Plants can provide the finishing touches for a poolside landscape. Homeowners should keep in mind that pools are not often shaded from the sun, so plants placed around the pool will need to be sun- and drought-tolerant. Succulents, such as aloe and jade, may work, as can the perennial shrub yucca. Moderately growing grasses will offer a privacy barrier. Keep trees and flowering plants far enough away from the pool’s edge so they do not contribute to debris that falls into the pool, which can complicate maintenance. Also, flowering plants may attract insects and other wildlife that may interfere with your enjoyment of the pool. It’s better to create a friendly environment for wildlife further away from the pool. Homeowners who need some advice planning the landscaping around their pools can rely on the expertise of landscape architects as well as employees at lawn and garden centers. Pool companies may work with landscapers and offer recommendations to people unaccustomed to working around pools.

SpringHome 2015 Home improvement projects perfect for spring

Find the best method of treating warm weather insects Homeowners know that the arrival of spring also marks the re-emergence of insects. While not every insect is harmful, if an infestation grows considerably or if insects begin to move from the outdoors into a home, it may be time for homeowners to call in a professional. The Entomological Society of America points out that homeowners cannot count on bitterly cold winters to help control the numbers of insects in their yards. Insect ecology is affected by various factors and is not solely dependent on temperature. Furthermore, what occurred one year

certainly may not be repeated the next, as homeowners who have had various insect infestations in their yards can attest. One year a yard may be overcome with ants, while the next year it may suffer through an earwig infestation. The first step homeowners looking to curtail insects in their yards can take is to determine if the insects they see are genuine threats to their lawns. Some bugs emerge and swarm early in the season, but then gradually disappear as spring turns into summer. Other insects may come out of hiding if a homeowner is doing a lot of yard work or construction

around a house. Practice a waitand-see approach to determine if you really have an insect problem or just have stirred up activity. Homeowners also must decide if it is bearable living with the insects. If insects are not doing any damage or if they can be controlled relatively easily, then you might be able to avoid calling in the professionals. However, if critters like termites and certain species of wood-eating insects are invasive and damaging your yard, you may need to take action. Anyone concerned with the side effects of pesticides and insecticides can first try to remedy the problem naturally. Sometimes it’s just a matter of making a yard less hospitable to insects. Remove leaves and clean up debris close to the house, as these can both encourage infestations. Piles of rotting wood or leftover firewood can be a food or shelter source for a number of insects. Inspect water spigots for leaks and improve suspect drainage on your property, as these things can be welcoming to bugs that like moist surroundings. Remove standing water whenever possible to eliminate spots for mosquitoes to incubate larvae. Natural remedies also may do the trick. Mint, bay leaves, catnip, and garlic can repel insects like roaches and ants. Citrus can be a natural flea deterrent. Some homeowners have had success planting marigolds around their yards to serve as a natural bug repellent

because the flowers produce a scent that many insects find repulsive. Thai lemon grass plants also can be used to keep mosquitoes at bay. Remember, natural predators, such as birds, bats, spiders, and larger insects, feed on nuisance bugs. Keeping these helpful predators around may be an effective and natural way for homeowners to control annoying pests.

If an insect problem seems out of control or if you need a professional opinion about the damage being done to your home or landscape, consult with an exterminator. Licensed exterminators have the training and expertise to assess insect concerns and create a plan of action that will minimize the risk to inhabitants of your home and nearby wildlife.

Seeding and fertilizing schedule Restoring lawns and gardens back to their prewinter glory is high on many a homeowner’s landscaping to-do list. In much of the country, the best times to tackle lawn projects are when temperatures are moderate, like in spring and fall. These seasons also mark the best time to seed and fertilize. Planting and fertilizing new grass seed should be done when frost is no longer a concern and before frost arrives if you are planting in autumn. According to Roger Cook, a landscape contractor and contributor to This Old House magazine, sowing lawn seed should be done when the soil is warm, the daytime temperatures are moderate and you can keep the new seeds quite moist at all times. While grass seed can be applied in the summer, it is more challenging to get the seeds to take root and thrive at this time, as water is more likely to evaporate under the hot sun. Also, many weeds germinate in the heat of summer. As a result, the weeds can infiltrate areas of the lawn where you planted, compromising the look of your lawn. The process of reseeding and fertilizing your lawn is relatively similar if you decide to do so in late spring or early fall. • Rake the parts of the lawn you plan to seed and remove any debris or rocks. • Apply fertilizer to the cleared planting area. Use a rake or tiller to break up the soil and distribute the fertilizer to a depth of roughly two to four inches. Speak with a landscaper about which type of fertilizer you will need depending on where you live. Many fertilizers contain extra phosphorous to stimulate root growth in the lawn. • Moisten the prepared area and let the soil settle. You want the soil damp but not so wet that it causes the newly applied fertilizer to run off. • Begin to sow the grass seed according to the rate indicated on the seed bag for the type of grass you will be growing. Choose a grass seed that will thrive in your climate. Certain seeds are more tolerant of drought and sunlight, while other species are better for shady areas or damper climates.

Again, if you have any questions, consult with a lawn and garden center. • Spread the seed with a broadcast spreader. Some lawn experts recommend spreading the seed in parallel rows and then repeating the process again in rows set at a right angle to the first series of rows for the best chances of seed coverage. The seeds then can be raked into the soil, covered with a little more soil and patted down. • Water to keep the seeds damp. This may require watering twice or more per day until the seeds begin to germinate. Covering the seeds with about 1⁄4 inch of straw also can help keep the seeds moist, deter seed scavengers and prevent soil erosion. Remove the straw once the grass begins to grow. • Roughly four weeks after the seeds have started to grow, apply another round of fertilizer to replenish the top layer of soil with nutrients that may have washed away from the constant watering. Homeowners can employ a similar process to overseed a lawn in the hopes of producing a thicker, more attractive landscape. Any thatch and debris should be raked away, and the top layer of the lawn surface can be gently aerated. Top dress the lawn with a very thin layer of new soil and compost. Broadcast the seed over the prepared lawn and lightly rake the new seeds to help them settle into the soil. Apply fertilizer and water the lawn frequently to keep the new seeds moist. Once the seed has established itself, you can water the lawn for longer periods and less frequently to help develop strong roots. Wait for the lawn to reach a height of three to four inches before the first cut of the season. Many homeowners like to take on the challenge of seeding and preparing their lawns. But some may find the task is best left to the professionals.

Acrylic is artist’s “fabric, thread and dye”

continuing to change in leaps and bounds. “ Tauchid is currently working on her third book about acrylics. “That’s my next big thing that will be going on for the year,” she said. Through Tri-Art, a large part of her creativity is devoted to the creation of the very medium she works with. She applies her fine art and chemistry knowledge at the Tri-Art factory in product development and consultation. She became involved with TriArt by marrying into the company. Her husband ran an art supply store where Tauchid worked. She’s been affiliated with the company since it’s launch in the mid-1990’s. Since the first batch of paint producd, Tauchid explores and tests new and existing products. “People call with issues about paint,” she said. “We’re always testing a product and seeing it in different ways. We can’t anticipate Continued on page 49

R0013261247_0507

Rhéni Tauchid’s creativity revolves around texture and color. It all started with a shade of red. “The first thing I ever did as a little kid, my first creation was with a red ball point pen,” she said. “It’s always been about mark-making. It’s an automatic thing for me. I’m a doodler and drawer.” She’s also a writer and a member of the product development team for Tri-Art, a Canadian artist paint company based in Kingston. Her first book, The New Acrylics (2005), published by WatsonGuptill, is an in-depth look at the character and application possibilities of modern acrylic paints. Her second book, New Acrylics Essential Sourcebook, was published in 2009. The books have been translated into Dutch and German. As for her early use of red, don’t read anything into that. Freud and symbolism be damned. She used a red pen quite simply because that’s what was there, within reach. “I’m really into non-representational stuff. Abstract is not an easy concept. Everyone wants to attach something [to art]. I understand that there needs to be a focal point, but the focal point doesn’t need to be representational.” Her art continues to be about mark-making and texture. Tauchid was born in Ottawa, but left the city early. Her father was with the United Nations, so there was a lot of travel in her life. She spent 14 years in Vienna, where she attended the American International School, not a bad location for a budding artist. She came to Kingston in 1984 to attend Queen’s Unversity. “It was a familiar place,” she said. “I had an aunt and uncle living here. My parents bought a cottage, and I learned to swim on Eagle Lake. Now Kingston feels like home. I tried Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, but Kingston is an amazing place, right here on the water. It’s a wonderful place to come home to.” Her art work is informed by the material she works with. “I listen to the paint,” she said. “I am loathe to put anything in my work that is in any way representational or symbolic. I guess I’ve embraced the United Nations (UN) aspect of my life. I don’t like to attach meaning or symbols to specific images. It’s really about the material and color and finding the quiet in the multitude of marks.” She explained that it’s like seeing a heavily treed forest and how quiet that can look, despite a profu-

sion of shapes and colors. “That’s what I’m trying to achieve in my work.” While her university classmates switched to oils because they are considered the formal art material for serious painters, Tauchid was drawn to the acrylic medium. She explained that she couldn’t achieve what she wanted with oils. She’s passionate about the depth of color and textures available with acrylics. “I’m intrigued by the plastic nature of acrylics,” she said. “I feel there is so much about the acrylic material that’s not well understood yet. It’s the only paint material that’s gone beyond its intended purpose, which was to stick pigment to a surface. Acrylic can become the sculpting material. It can be the surface. There are so many things it can be and do. Most of what we’ve seen in acrylics so far is only the tip of the iceberg. It’s the only material that’s evolving. Whereas paints, watercolors and encaustics are not going to change, acrylic is

Rocking the system—more than just a musical’s title For some local students and theatre junkies, the end of high school has led to a whole new adventure (in addition to university). They’ve established Kingston’s newest theatre group, Whitehall Theatre, a nonprofit company for actors in the 16 to 30 age range. Three teens, who met in the cast of Blue Canoe’s production of The Producers last summer, founded Whitehall Theatre. Will Gouett (18), Gabe Meacher (18), and Rob Halligan (19) are the artistic directors of Whitehall. The company name honors the founders’ involvement in the The Producers. Whitehall and Marks was the name of the production company in the awardwinning musical. “If you asked me a couple of years ago what I would be doing after high school, this would have been my last guess,” says Gouett. He’s taken piano lessons since he was five years old, and he’s learned to play other instruments along the way. “But drama and dance were not in the picture,” he says. “Now theatre is one of the only things I can think about. Theatre brings many different forms of art together through dance and movement, music, visual arts in sets and paints, and it creates an imitation of life that is unmatched.” Gouett burst onto the local theatre scene about two years ago, seemingly out of nowhere. He’d mostly been identified as a sports guy at Regiopolic-Notre Dame high school. Then he auditioned for Regi’s production of Guys and Dolls and landed a lead. I was sceptical—Until I saw the show.

Gouett looked like he’d been born for the stage, and the stage has been good to him. “To sum things up, I have fallen in love with [theatre], and it has absolutely changed my life. In September, he’s headed to Sheridan College, to which it’s notably difficult to gain admission, for his Bachelor of Musical Theatre Performance program. This young man has Broadway potential, and I won’t be surprised to open a New York theatre Playbill and see Will Gouett’s name in the cast listing. When the end of high school years loom in the near future, most friends make a commitment to keep in touch. That often doesn’t happen. But for the founders of Whitehall Theatre, they’ve done more than just keep tabs on one another. Gabe Meacher, a graduate of LCVI, spent the past year at Concordia University. Rob Halligan attends St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia. Will Gouett did a victory lap year at Regiopolis-Notre Dame. “This project started as a fun idea of just writing something fresh and seeing if it was good, and, in our opinion, we have something special on our hands,” says Will. “Here we are trying to bring something new and exciting to the scene.” To deal with the issue of working a geographic distances from one another, Gabe explains that the trio used Google docs for much of their writing. There were also many script readings and conference calls. “We knew we were all going in different directions after The Producers,” says Gabe. “We knew we watned to work together and we knew we wanted to do our own thing, an original show. We kept saying, ‘We should do it. We should do it.’And throughout the year, we did it. Sometimes we were all reading through the script together. The further along we got, the more confidence we had.” He explains that, as much as they all love the traditional play/musical development

process with new scripts going through multiple readings and workshops, they wanted to make this process their own. “We wanted to turn the formula on its head,” he says. “I really like the collective process of people like Paul Thompson of Theatre Passe Muraille and Ann Bogart (of New York University). The work that she does examines theatre by using human elements.” The uniqueness of Whitehall will be reflected in Whitehall’s first production, Rock the System, an original musical that looks at a young rock band’s journey to success. It will premiere in July. The journey of creation was bumpy at times, with its own set of trials and tribulations. “The process itself has been not only stressful and hard, but I’m growing as an artist learning new things every day,” says Will. “It has also been a joy to finally write music that people are going to hear and to actually have a piece of theatre that is our own. Writing music with other artists is so enriching and taking on this whole Whitehall idea is--and this term is thrown around too much, but I feel it is necessary-unreal.” It’s often difficult for playwrights to have an original script reach the stage. They typically can’t get past the door of production companies. It’s hard to learn the playwright’s craft without the performance opportunities. Many don’t get training and mentoring until they reach post-secondary institutions. Whitehall Theatre addresses that issue in their initial production As for Rock the System synopsis, “The band members meet in elementary school and move through high school together,” says Gabe Meacher. After practising in their manager’s basement, they suddenly make it big. A large record company approaches the band and signs them to a contract. “They get a lot of money,” says Gabe.

“The company is backed by Poch Industries, which is planning to put subliminal messages into lyrics. The band finds out that they have unintentionally been brainwashing their fans.” What happens next? You’ll have to see the musical to find out. “I reached a point where I just wanted to create my own work,” says Gabe. “I wanted to do something besides musicals we’ve seen over and over. So Will and Rob and I got together with our ideas. Rock the System came out of that. Over the year, we’ve written this musical.” He says they’re hoping that also appearing in this show will be Calvin Rea on guitar and Angus Fay on drums. Rea would be a great addition as he has had several years of dance training at Kingston School of Dance and knows how to move on stage. Starting a theatre company and staging a musical does not come cheaply. The greatest cost for this volunteer-based group will be theatre rental. There’s a Kickstarter campaign to help build a financial base for Whitehall. It’s a modest undertaking with a goal of $1500. The Kickstarter campaing ends at 11:49 a.m. on Wednesday, May 27, so get to the site soon. If they don’t reach the $1500 mark, they don’t receive any funds. If they go over, they receive whatever amount has been pledged. This will be a busy summer with several theatre companies coming together for The Kick & Push Festival. The folks at Whitehall aren’t concerned about competition. “We’re happy that there’s so much theatre going on this summer,” says Gabe. “We’re hoping that this piece can complement the scene and stand out on its own. The theatre festival going on will build momentum.”

He explains that the show is hilarious, but it combines humor with social critique. “We examine society in terms of government control,” says Gabe. “People will see young artists showcased in Kingston, in a way they’ve never seen young artists showcased. We’ve all grown up in Kingston and been part of the theatre scene for so long.”. The cast will comprise the four band members and other roles: George, the band manager; Charles Poch of Polk Industries (I love the rhyming sounding reference to Koch); Edward Billingsworth, a greedy music industry capitalist; and an ensemble of eight to ten actors. The performance is tentatively set for the stage of the Domino Theatre. What’s next for the young playwrights and musicians? “We hope to keep Whitehall Theatre going after the summer,” says Gabe. “We’d like to keep writing our own things as well as take inspiration from other people. If at the end of this show someone comes up with a great idea for a musical, we’d like to keep building community around that.” You can check out Whitehall’s Facebook page for an open call for cast and crew. And visit Kickstarter; search Whitehall Theatre. Dates for the premiere performance of Rock the System will be announced soon. I’ll post updates on Twitter. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

The last two - plus months have been an incredible run, as our team came together to overcome the greatest deficit in NHL history to qualify for the playoffs. This year, we had a major loss within our family and fought battles both on and off the ice. We stuck together and persevered knowing we could achieve our goals. In February, when the odds were stacked against us, this team started to roll. When we starte d to win, we could feel that something special was happening. We couldn’t put our finger on it at the time, but knew it was different. We know you felt it too – we know this because once the team started the run, you wouldn’t let us quit. You were loud and supportive at home. You filled Canadian Tire Centre during the team’s road games, and the crowd waiting for us at the airport when we arrive d from Philadelphia blew us away. You changed the mood of the entire city. You pushe d us to keep going when the odds were against us and we responded. Game 6 may not have gone our way, but the ovation you gave us before we left the ice was one of the most incredible moments of the entire season. As we leave to go our separate ways for the summer, we want you to know this – there has never been a Senators team more excited for next year. Thank you, fans! Sincerely, Your 2014-15 Ottawa Senators

what everyone is going to do with every product.. We keep batches of every product we’ve made. Physical samples have been put through heat tests and freeze and thaw tests. We can track things; it’s like paint forensics. Sometimes our raw materials change, so we have to figure out how to replace a pigment that works with all our recipes.” She provides staff training for art supply stores and is responsible for Tri-Art’s convention and trade show participation. She also teaches and provides workshops for other artists around the world. Her studio is located at Tri-Art. “I like to paint in an area where there are other people,” she said. “My work is entrenched in the mechanics of the medium, yet has life beyond pigment and acrylic emulsion. I am compelled to paint what I know. I know

paint implicitly. The paintings I have produced so far have evolved through the manipulation of the medium and its capacity to respond to the tools and substrates it contacts.” On her website, it’s explained succinctly: “Acrylic is my fabric, my thread and my dye.” For the next several months, Tauchid will serve as a visual arts mentor for the Limestone Learning Foundation’s Crystal Ball. The list of mentors and students will be officially announced in a press conference on May 14. “I was looking for a doodler who wants to play,” she said. Everything about Tauchid’s work appears at the same moment to be serious, playful and moving—on physical and emotional levels. For more information, visit rhenitichaud. com.

and they also distributed door hangers to the houses in the neighbourhood to let them know why the fish were painted. “I hope people, when they see them, think about what they are putting down the storm drains and they realize that it could affect us later,” said Brownie Shelby Peacock. “The water gets cleaned, but not ev-

erything gets washed out and we are drinking this water in the future so we need to protect it.” The fish are painted along with a note that says ‘Rainwater Only’; in most municipalities, storm drains flow directly into the local water body without being treated and almost anything other than clean rainwater is harmful to fish and other aquatic life. This includes soap used to wash a car (that is

not biodegradable), excess fertilizer on the lawn that washes into the storm drain, dirt and oil driveways, and construction materials. “It’s something that a lot of people don’t think about, but it is so important,” said Stephenson. “We really hope these fish make an impact on the girls and the community.” For more information about the Yellow Fish Road initiative visit www.yellowfishroad.org

Fashionable fundraising: Harrowsmith Women’s Institute looks at fashions of decades past By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Poodle skirts, bell bottoms, fur coats and vintage wedding dresses – these were just a few of the styles on display at the Harrowsmith Women’s Institute (WI) Vintage Fashion Show on April 26; hundreds of guests looked on as over 60 outfits representing fashions from the 1920s to 1970s were

modeled - and it was all for a good cause. “We put this fundraiser together as a sort of celebration of our 90th anniversary,” said Harrowsmith WI president Karen Nickel. “We originally made poster boards representing the decades and then we came up with the idea of expanding that to a fashion show and here we are.” The Federation of Women’s Institutes of Ontario began in February of 1897 as a group for wives of farmers to gather and socialize. The WI in Harrowsmith started in March of 1924 and with that in mind, the group wanted to start with fashions from that decade. “Many of the outfits have been very special memories for WI members and their friends,” explained Nickel. “Most of them are treasured fashions or accessories that belonged to a loved one and some were actually worn by members in their youth. It was so amazing to see them all come together.” Nickel thought that it would be a challenge to find so many different fashions, but she was overwhelmed by the number of items that came out of storage and attics and were donated by community members.

“It was so great to see the whole group come together. I loved getting to know all of the families and friends and of course seeing all of the fashions.” The event took place at St. Paul’s Church in Harrowsmith and proceeds from the event went to New Leaf Link (NeLL), a non-profit charitable organization that supports the continuing education and meaningful occupation of youth and adults with developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum conditions and Down syndrome. The group operates locally in South Frontenac and they rely solely on community fundraisers to run their programs. “We are a small but mighty group of dedicated parents,” said Julie Hunt, a director for the group and a parent of one of the participants. “We really appreciate the support. We keep seeing an increase in clients year after year so the funds are really important to keep it all going. These funds will go a long way.” Members of New Leaf Link were also among the 40 people who modeled throughout the fashion show alongside WI members, friends and family. All worked to make the Karen Nickel (left) and Stephanie Brown event a success and before the show started more than 150 tickets had been sold, helping model fashions from the 1920s. Photo/Mandy Marciniak to raise $1,500 for NeLL. Nickel was happy to see such an amazing turnout and she hopes that the WI can do something similar next year.

“The show was so much fun and we’d love to do something like this again, we just have to sit down and see what’s next,” she said. “I’m not sure we can top this.” Nickel also encourages more people to come out and join the WI. The group meets on the last Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Church in Harrowsmith. “The group is great because it brings people together and we get a chance to do amazing events like this. I would encourage anyone interested to stop by.”

Easy and budget-friendly ways to add curb appeal Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling real estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable interior. Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home can take on a more appealing look.

Clean up A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior is one of the easiest and most costeffective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the

front lawn. These simple steps can improve curb appeal instantly.

Spruce up the lawn A well-manicured lawn can go a long way to making a home more appealing. If your thumb is anything but green, hire a professional lawn and garden service to help you establish a lush, green lawn. Dress to impress The entryway to a home is the

first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of color canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terra-cotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional. Rely on symmetry Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame

your entryway and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items really can have an impact. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget lighting Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property. Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few people enjoy approaching a dark home, and outdoor lighting can ensure your property always is welllit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable both day and night. Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in how others view your home.

How families can prepare for downsizing to smaller homes During the housing market crash of the first decade of the 21st century, many families learned to get by with less. For some of those families, less lavish living fit like a glove, prompting them to change their lifestyles for the long haul. Downsizing to smaller homes was a move made by many families over the last several years. Some did so out of economic need, while others preferred the simpler lifestyle that often comes with living in a smaller home. Families about to downsize to smaller homes may find the task ahead of them daunting, but there are some ways to make the transition to less spacious residences go more smoothly. • Discuss downsizing with kids. In many ways, youngsters adapt to change better than adults. But it’s still a good idea for parents to explain downsizing to their children before they begin to prepare for their transitions to smaller living spaces. Kids who understand the reasons behind downsizing are more likely to embrace the move, while those who have not been involved in the process may find it more difficult to adjust. When the time comes to begin choosing items to discard, allow children to choose which of their items they will not be keeping. Respect their decisions, exercising patience if kids are initially reluctant or don’t seem to understand downsizing. • Design a downsizing system. It is not uncommon for families to be lukewarm when the initial process of downsizing begins, as people are un-

derstandably hesitant to discard items they worked hard to accumulate or cherish for various reasons. A downsizing system can make that initial period less uncomfortable, especially if family members are together on the first day of downsizing. Let each family member take a turn choosing an item to sell, donate or discard, and continue so family members know everyone is in it together. Once kids have seen that everyone is making sacrifices, they are more likely to embrace downsizing. • Begin in the attic, basement and garage. Downsizing to a smaller home often means less storage space, and attics, basements and garages tend to serve as in-house storage units where seldom-used items accumulate over time. When trying to choose which items won’t be coming along to their smaller homes, families can start in their current homes’ attics, basements and garages, looking for items that take up too much space or those that will serve no practical purpose at their new homes. For example, that snow blower in the garage may be a godsend when the time comes to clear your expansive current driveway of another storm’s worth of snow, but it might not be worth the space it takes up if your next home has a short driveway or just on-street parking. Once rooms used primarily for storage have been cleaned out, you can then move on to other rooms in the house to find items that won’t be going with you. Look to sell, donate or discard items that will

not serve much purpose at your next home. • Don’t just discard, donate or sell. One of the hidden benefits of downsizing to a smaller home is the chance to make some money by selling those items you won’t be needing after you move into your new digs. Schedule a yard sale and give ample notice to neighbors or fellow community members so you can get as much as possible for the items you no longer need. If money is no object, donating your unwanted items to a local goodwill store or another charity is a great way to ensure your possessions find their way into the homes of people who truly need them. When getting rid of personal items, only discard those items that are no longer functional. If they can still serve a purpose, then someone can benefit from using them. • Promise to revisit the decision down the road after moving. Families who are downsizing for a lifestyle change as opposed to out of economic need can promise to revisit the decision together in the future. Families may be quick to adjust and be grateful for the change, while others might realize their decision did not produce the desired results. Promising to revisit the decision once the dust has settled can give everyone some peace of mind and make the transition that much easier. Families downsize to smaller homes for a number of reasons, and there are many ways to make that transition go more smoothly regardless of the reasons behind the move.

Cutting the costs of home ownership Owning a home is a dream for many people. But even the most affordable homes can be a considerable expense, which is why many homeowners are on constant lookout for ways to cut the costs of home ownership. Men and women who have owned their homes for years may already know of various ways they can save money each month. But first-time homeowners may not be so savvy, which can leave them scrambling for ways to save each month. Fortunately, homeowners can reduce the cost of owning their homes in a variety of ways. • Refinance your mortgage. The average homeowner would point to his or her mortgage payment as his or her biggest monthly expense. Firsttime homeowners may assume they have no leeway with regard to lowering that payment, but that’s not necessarily true. Interest rates fluctuate every day, and homeowners might be

able to take advantage of that fluctuation by refinancing their mortgages to earn lower interest rates. Depending on the amount of the loan, a homeowner might be able to save hundreds of dollars per month and tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan after refinancing his or her mortgage. Research current interest rates to determine if refinancing is in your best interest. • Reexamine your insurance policy. When borrowing money to buy a home, borrowers need to have homeowner’s insurance. It’s easy to forget these policies and simply pay the premium each month. But homeowners looking to save money should periodically reexamine their policies and compare these existing policies to those they might be able to get from other providers. Comparison shopping can save homeowners substantial amounts of money. Homeowners willing to purchase their homeowners and auto insurance poli-

cies from the same provider also can save a considerable amount of money, sometimes as much as 15 percent depending on the provider. • Make safety upgrades. Another way to cut the cost of home ownership is to upgrade your home’s safety features. Many insurance companies offer discounts to homeowners who install alarm systems, sprinklers or storm shutters in their homes. But homeowners should confirm their eligibility for such discounts before making any upgrades, as policies may differ depending on the provider. • Purchase eco-friendly appliances for your home. The appliances in your home at the time of purchase will inevitably wear down, and replacing such items can be expensive. But replacing older appliances with more eco-friendly alternatives can save you money on your monthly utility bills, as more and more appliances are now made with energy savings in mind. Cutting your energy

consumption leads to lower utility bills, and you may even be eligible for government rebates when buying products that meet certain energy-
