City adopts other measures to control ‘monster homes’ BY BILL HUTCHINS

NEWS — A compromise has been reached to address the local controversy over so-called monster homes sprouting up in low-rise neighbourhoods around Queen’s University and St. Lawrence College. Councillors decided not to impose a blanket building freeze, known as an Interim Control Bylaw, for all new residential construction in the near campus neighbourhoods in Sydenham, Portsmouth and Williamsville districts. Instead, they approved a new staff recommendation to implement a series of short and longterm solutions that are designed to better regulate or restrict the conversion of single-family homes into multiple bedrooms to accommodate students. “On paper it looks very promising. Of course it doesn’t have the compelling nature of a building freeze,” said Sydenham district Coun. Peter Stroud. He added: “This recommendation goes a long way to maintaining neighbourhoods.” The current rules, which allow monster home conversions with little municipal input and no public consultation, triggered a public backlash in recent months. In the short term, staff propose updating the current and outdated municipal zoning bylaws to remove the “as of right” conversion of single-family houses into multiple dwelling units — a process that may be completed this summer. The new rules Kingston’s newest skate park opened at Shannon Park on May 3. The 8,000 square foot would require landlords to go through a public park is located across from Rideau Heights Public School and the project was spear- process.

City avoids blanket building freeze, adopts other measures to control ‘monster homes’ Continued from page 1

In addition, city planners will introduce new standards to ensure there’s enough amenity areas for one and two bedroom homes. This would effectively reduce the amount of buildable space on lots and prevent backyards from becoming paved parking lots for monster homes. “Put those two together and you have a harder time imaging some of these monster additions happening,” explained Coun. Stroud. “This may help with controlling the conversion of existing one and two-family dwellings into more units as proposals would have to demonstrate that an adequate amount of amenity area can be accommodated on-site,” said chief planner Paige Agnew. Long term, the city plans to consider rental licensing regulations covering bedroom limits and property standards, introduce a residential infill strategy, and provide more scrutiny over the site plan process for multi-unit residential developments as they relate to building design, on-site parking and garbage collection. The changes were applauded by councillors and many residents as a thoughtful and creative solution. “It’s a sizeable improvement over the status quo and preferable to an Interim Control Bylaw,” said Laura Knap of the Sydenham District Association.

VENDORS WANTED New

City officials say these gradual strategies should be enough to appease residents who fear once-stable neighbourhoods are being forever changed by monster additions. Many worried that implementing an Interim Control Bylaw could face a legal challenge and cause collateral damage to homeowners wishing to build a small extension onto their house. The bylaw would have prohibited most building permits until a detailed land use planning policy review is completed in one or two years. Coun. Stroud, who first introduced the notion of a blanket building freeze, says he welcomes the compromise solutions but will be monitoring the new rules closely to ensure they’re working. “I’m going to follow up if I see the problem with unwelcome additions is still ongoing in my district.” The controversy boiled over last fall when residents went to city hall to complain that unchecked single-family home conversions — such as large-scale backyard building additions — are destabilizing neighbourhoods, driving families out of neighbourhoods, driving down property values and forever changing streetscapes. However, councillors decided to hold off on a building freeze bylaw earlier this year in order for staff to review further solutions and hold public consultation. Staff recommended the bylaw be scrapped in favour of more progressive strategies, a compromise that received unanimous council support May 2.

Kingston's newest skate park opens in Rideau Heights BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

There is a new hangout in the Rideau Heights neighbourhood of Kingston and on May 3, many area kids were excited to go for a spin and test it out. "I have to confess that when I first heard about this project, I envisioned a half pipe that would be put in the middle of Shannon Park, and when I walked in today I was totally blown away," said Mayor Bryan Paterson at the grand opening of the new Shannon Park skate park, located on Maccauley Street across from Rideau Heights Public School. "It is an amazing asset for the city and the

neighbourhood," he said. "This is an exciting piece for the community and I think there are hundreds of kids that will have hours and hours of enjoyment here for many years to come." The idea for the skate park came from a local group called the Community Response to Neighbourhood Concern (CRNC) and although they started planning in 2011, it took nearly seven years to raise the funds to construct the park. "Fundraising took a lot longer than anticipated," explained Gillian Moss, a member of CRNC. "We are so happy to see it finally completed and being enjoyed by so many already." The 8,000-square-foot park is entirely made of concrete with various hills, ramps, and even bars

for skateboarding tricks. The total cost of the park was $620,000 and various community groups helped the project get to that final number, including the United Way, the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area, and the City of Kingston, which contributed nearly a third of the cost. The park also received a $110,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and volunteer Robert Burge was on hand to cut the ribbon at the new park on May 3. "It is great to see this park that will provide recreational activities for youth in North Kingston," he said. "Our grant review team could see the great

benefits of building a skate park in this neighbourhood and this initiative will provide physical and social activity for local kids, teens, and of course adults too." The park is suitable for skateboards, bikes, scooters, and even roller blades and while construction officially wrapped up last December, it seemed more appropriate to have its official opening in the spring. "We are so happy to have it open and grateful to all the donors," said Moss. "Happy boarding and cycling, and we hope the neighbourhood enjoys this amazing new facility."

Heavy rain leads to ‘unprecedented’ water levels levels and we are receiving reports of ‘unprecedented’ water levels,” Fazackerley explains. “In the Gananoque River system we are seeing levels approaching that of 2014.” As of Monday, it was expected that the worst was still yet to come in terms of flooding. “We have received 170 mm of rain since May 1 and it is going to take time for that water to move through the system,” says Fazackerley. “The lakes and watercourses associated with the Cataraqui and Gananoque

BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

The Kingston/Frontenac area was hit with heavy rainfall and what many are calling unprecedented flooding last week and into the weekend. As of press time on Monday, May 8, a total of 170 mm of rain had fallen since May 1 and a possible 10 – 20 mm was forecast for the coming days. The flooding crept up on area shorelines and many docks, beaches and portions of waterfont parks ended up under water. Roads were also affected: a portion of Front Road, as well as Abbey Dawn Road, were closed due to flooding and several Kingston Transit buses had to be re-routed. The severity of the flooding varies across the different watersheds, says Krista Fazackerley, communications coordinator with the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA); the situation is comparable to a similar rain event that occurred in 2014, which saw record-breaking water levels and was deemed a one in 100-year event. “Lakes in the Cataraqui Water levels in the Cataraqui River creep up on the La SalRiver system are above 2014 le Causeway

River systems are still rising and it might be another day or two until they peak. “Sydenham Lake peaked around midnight [Sunday] night and our telemetrically gauged creeks (Wilton, Millhaven, Little Cataraqui West Branch, Lyn, Buells, Collins) have all peaked.” The CRCA is advising residents to take all precautions necessary to prepare for flooding. “If water levels are approaching a building, a sandbag berm may be appropriate,” Fazackerley explains. Residents are asked to contact their municipalities for further information

regarding sandbags. The City of Kingston said in a press release that it has a limited number of sand bags available for the public. If residents have questions or concerns about their property, please contact the City of Kingston at 613-5460000 for information about sand bags. For current flood information and resources on how to prepare for a flood and building a sandbag berm, visit www. crca.ca/flood.

Plan to narrow section of Bath Road moves forward with some key last-minute changes BY BILL HUTCHINS

NEWS — A plan to construct Kingston’s first ever multi-use pathway on a busy westend road is moving into the fast lane, but with some key last-minute changes. At their May 2 meeting, councillors rejected a controversial staff recommendation to eliminate two of the four lanes of Bath Road, between Coverdale Drive and Collins Bay Road, fearing it will cause too much commuter congestion. Instead, they opted to eliminate one eastbound lane and keep both westbound lanes open. “It’s a really nice compromise that accommodates everybody,” said Coun. Adam Candon. The multi-use pathway for cyclists, pedestrians and other active transportation uses will take over a southerly lane of Bath Road alongside businesses such as The Boat Warehouse and Riley’s Garden Centre. Cement barriers will be installed along the new 1.7-kilometre pathway to separate it from motorists in the three remaining travel lanes. Several councillors said there was a public outcry over the initial recommendation to eliminate two lanes of Bath Road traffic that flows to and from Amherstview. Coun. Lisa Osanic, who introduced the

pathway compromise, says eliminating one eastbound lane should also reduce traffic speeds along the heavily-used roadway. City engineers say vehicles routinely travel at 80 km/h along the road which has a posted speed limit of 60 km/h. They support the political compromise. “We would see this as a feasible alternative,” said director of engineering Mark Van Buren. He says eliminating one eastbound lane should not cause congestion for morning commuters coming into the city, adding that Bath Road is also one lane in each direction west of Collins Bay Road. “We don’t anticipate increased congestion through that corridor.” Local cyclists applaud the million-dollar pathway project, calling it a “road diet.” “It frees up a little bit of the road for a much-needed multi-use pathway,” said Roger Healey, co-chair of the Kingston Coalition for Active Transportation. He says the “bike-lash” from commuters and area businesses should not deter the city from promoting other modes of travel, noting the city’s own Transportation Master Plan aims to get one in five commuters using active transportation by 2034. But some area businesses remain concerned about giving customers safe and easy access into and out of their properties once

the new pathway separates them from the traffic lanes. City officials say the redesigned road will continue to offer access to businesses on the south side of Bath Road. The decision to close one eastbound lane, instead of a northbound lane, will enable pathway users to easily access destinations such as Lemoine Point. The west-end pathway will also connect

to new cycling lanes that are expected to be added this summer along Highway 33, between Adolphustown and Collins Bay. Construction of Bath Road’s segregated waterside pathway is expected to begin this summer and to be completed by the fall. The fast timeline will enable the city to take advantage of a $268,500 provincial active transportation grant, reducing the municipal contribution to under $750,000.

In Our Opinion

Sport fandom is complicated

Sports and especially professional sports inevitably enter our lives from time to time. Even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a sports fan, chances are you have watched the Super Bowl or even a World Series game and if you have watched one of those games you have likely observed sports fandom. Sports fandom can be a bit overwhelming and people tend to go a bit crazy and as I have observed this over the years, I have learned that sports fandom is complicated. I grew up in a house that was, and still is, a bit football crazy. My father is a diehard Toronto Argonauts fan (Canadian Football League, for those who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar). When I was younger he had season tickets and I remember going to countless games with my parents. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really sure how my dad became an Argos fan, but he has always been incredibly loyal to the team and I distinctly remember games filled with joy, especially when they

won the Grey Cup, and games filled with sadness and disappointment (more of this has occurred over the past few years, sorry Dad). My dad is also a Washington Redskins fan (NFL) and not because he likes the city or because he was fond of a member of the team when he originally became a fan, but simply because they have the same colours as the high school team that he played for. I have always found this comical, but I guess this is the case with a lot of sports fans; they need a reason to like the team they like and often those reasons are associated with proximity to the city or with a certain player, but small things also factor in and often nostalgia plays a role too. You also hear of families who have cheered for the same team for generations and in the case of the Maple Leafs, season tickets are willed to family members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; extreme sports fandom. Then of course there are the fans that paint their faces or dress in costume all to support their team, they are also the fans that can be seen in tears following an important game if their team loses. Sports fandom is intense and this can also be seen when it comes to rivalries. In the case of my dad, the Argos have always

had an extreme rivalry with the Hamilton Tiger Cats and if my father meets a fan of this opposing team he is immediately sceptical of them. Growing up, our neighbours were Tiger Cats fans and there was a constant battle of the flags in the opposing yards. In most cases, it is all in good fun, but sometimes rivalries can get a bit out of hand. In my case, sports fandom has always been something I have shared with my father and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cheer on the Argos whenever I get a chance to watch a game with him. I have also developed a recent love for the Toronto Blue Jays, a favourite of Koreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s since childhood, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit that in some cases, during some games, I have become a bit of a crazy fan. Sports have the ability to draw you in and when you get attached to a team and the players on that team, you want nothing more than to see them succeed. It is a bit bizarre in that sense, but also a lot of fun. So no matter what your reasoning for liking a team, just remember to have fun with it and when it comes to rivalries, remember that those fans are just as invested as you are. Sports games are supposed to be fun and sometimes we need to take ourselves a bit less seriously and just enjoy.

Discounts on municipal services should be based on means, not age Last month, the City of Kingston announced that it was looking into the idea of scrapping seniors' discounts for transportation and recreation. In fact, councillors have shown a concerted interest in pursuing the policy further. Currently, the 65+ crowd enjoys such discounts as a $19.50 discount on monthly bus passes, as well as $104 per annum on Artillery Park gym passes. However, beyond the fact that these discountsÂ represent a sincere gesture of respect and reverence for the decades ofÂ seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work and service in the community, do these significant taxpayer-funded rebates in fact serve the public interest in more direct, tangible ways? In other words, are these rebates an effective use of taxpayer funds? Increasingly, these kinds of flat discounts for the elderly are coming under the policy microscope from a variety of angles. First of all, there's the fact that the ranks of the golden years club is absolutely burgeoning. By 2024, 20 per cent (or one in five) of Canadians will be aged 65 or over, many of them still working and in excellent health. Therefore, it must be noted that it will become increasingly expensive to subsidize these kinds

of discounts. Secondly, and most important, studies consistently show that those in the 65+ demographic are actually better off than other age cohorts because they tend to have more disposable income. Increasingly, the senior population will be made up of well-off baby boomers who spent their careers working high-paying government jobs with excellent benefits packages and pensions. It seems unfair that these people should automatically qualify for discounts when, for example, a single mother in her 30s who makes just enough to be outside the affordable bus pass range does not. City staff recommends moving toward a 'means-tested' system whereby discounts are primarily given to those who live at or below the poverty line. We agree that this is the just and right policy. Kingston seniors are certainly entitled to all of our respect and reverence. However, discounts for taxpayer-funded services should be reserved solely for those in direct need. If seniors do not meet the necessary means threshold, they should pay the same price as everyone else.

In which we fend off the Hexagenia limbata and delight in the Syringa vulgarism Jamie Swift COLUMNIST

If you wander over to the foot of the Barriefield hill later this month, you’ll come across what amounts to a forest of Syringa vulgaris. Nothing vulgar about them, however. The bushes will be groaning with fragrant lilac blossoms. The sprawling, fragrant stand may well have been planted sometime in the 19th century, as part of a pioneer farmstead that has long since been colonized by RMC and other institutional facilities. Yet the forest must have spread in the meantime, the tiny florets — white, magenta, purple, violet — perfuming the air in a fashion that can only be described as sublime. I like to cycle over the causeway armed with a trusty pair of secateurs, all the better to gather a generous bundle of blossoms. I learned to do this growing up in Quebec City, where the nearby Plains of Abraham (a.k.a. the Battlefields Park) offered lilacs galore. They seem to be gone now. But, back then, you could clip them and sell them door-to-door. There’s something about springtime in Kingston that makes it — for me, at least — the best time of year. Bright displays of daffodils, tulips and forsythia have replaced winter’s sombre face. As I write this, there’s birdsong galore pouring through a window that is, at last, open. I especially like the rising call of the white-throated sparrow. If you can catch a glimpse, the wonderful little creature has dramatic yellow splashes on its face. Keen birders call them “lores.” And there are lots of other calls. The cardinal singing from treetops. The raucous blue jay. The coo of the mourning dove. One fascinating springtime day trip from Kingston is the bird lab at Cornell in Ithaca, N.Y. Now over a hundred

years old, the Cornell bird lab is a leading conservation and research outfit with some 100,000 members. It’s located, appropriately enough, on Sapsucker Woods Road. Another reason to prize the month of May hereabouts is that the city is just a bit quieter, a tad less crowded-feeling. At least downtown. Most of the students have decamped. A sure sign of spring is the armada of rental vans and trucks, harried parents and lawns in certain neighbourhoods cluttered with discarded furniture. The tourists, though certainly present in May, haven’t yet started to crowd the downtown streets. (Don’t get me wrong. Students and tourists are vital to Kingston’s wellbeing. The young people I meet at Queen’s every winter are energetic and attentive. They like the town, and even though some can get pretty rowdy from time to time, where would we be without them? Same with the tourists. They fill the gap left by the students and do so quite nicely.) May brings something that’s relatively new to Kingston. The sidewalk patio. It doesn’t even have to be that warm for restaurateurs

and café owners to haul out the furniture, adding capacity and livening up the streets in a way that scarcely existed when I moved here over 25 years ago. One outdoor café improvement would be to close a few downtown streets to traffic, at least on a seasonal basis. Think of European cities where the bars and eateries spill out into car-free streets and onto public squares. What if the eateries and bars around the public market behind city hall had their patios liberated from the crowded confines of fences? What if springtime made Kingston’s cafés resemble Berlin or Paris? I know that this

would subvert the engineering mentality cousins are sometimes known as fishflies so prevalent inside city hall, but remem- or shadflies. But, whatever you call them, ber how the proposal to close Princess the hexagenia limbata are yet another Street — ever-so-briefly — was initially powerful hint that spring is here at last. greeted with horror? That was before it Good thing we have Syringa vulgaris became the wonderful success that has to offer a much more pleasant reminder. now become the Princess Street Promenade. Of course, May is not without its downside in a lakeside city.

Marysville comes to LIFE in spring BY MARGARET KNOTT

Spring has finally arrived for Frontenac Islands and there is excitement in the air. You can see it happening at this time of year in every small town along the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario. Here, municipal crews were out cleaning the streets of winter leftovers of sand and grime. The last of forgotten Christmas decorations are gone. Flower pots are appearing on the main street ready for plants, or already filled. Islanders are back from winter holidays. Trees and bushes are just aching to bloom. The bicycle rental shop is open for business, as is Horne’s ferry, the bakery. Soon to follow will be any other restaurant, shop, retreat, park, garden, and golf course that was closed for the winter. The Coast Guard has set out the markers. In small towns all over, signs will appear announcing this event or that and how to get here or there. Plants, vegetables and flowers, along with mulch and whatever else is required for the growing season will fill the stands along the front of the local general stores. Patios will be opening at village restaurants, as will accommodations closed for the winter. Fishing has started and boats have begun to arrive at the village docks. Summer residents will begin to trickle back. Local food and produce appears for sale. And finally as schools near closing for the summer, everything else that was shut down for the winter, art galleries, museums, information centres, specialty shops, parks, walking tours, etc. etc. will open, and summer fundraising events of every sort begin and visitors come in droves. Welcome to summer …. It’s all about tourism, attracting people to share in what you have to offer and to spend their dollars that help maintain your town when businesses close down for the winter. It doesn’t seem to matter how big or small the town may be, (unless you have a ski hill or concert hall), that’s the way it goes. Here, take the Wolfe Islander III to Marysville and welcome to Wolfe Island. Brian Porter, the well known Sir John A Macdonald impersonator, and his wife Renee, wearing an 1880s

gown as Lady Agnes Macdonald, presented a series of stories about Canada’s first prime minister and the women in his life. This was at a gathering presented as part of the WI Historical Society’s annual speakers series. The historical slides and the skits presented by Brian, dressed in his 1880s period frock coat, took the audience back in time to Confederation 150 years ago. But it was the stories about the women in Sir John A’s life that came as a surprise. The women included his mother Helen Shaw, his two sisters, two wives, sickly Isabella

Butterfly releases to honour those loved and lost BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

News – There is something magical about watching a butterfly take flight: the delicate wings that somehow allow the butterfly to flutter high into the sky; the bright colours contrasting against the soft, blue sky; and the knowledge that, like all living things, the butterfly began its humble existence small and unaware, yet ready to become something much bigger and much more beautiful. Perhaps that’s why Bereaved Families of Ontario – Kingston Region (BFO Kingston), chose the butterfly as a symbol of life and love for their annual event in honour of those people loved and lost – there is beauty in the butterfly itself, there is beauty in the idea of releasing a butterfly into its native land, perhaps with a message for a loved one who has passed on, and there is undoubtedly a beauty in witnessing dozens of butterflies take to the skies in a whimsical flutter. For the past few years, BFO Kingston has hosted butterfly releases, entitled ‘Wings of Serenity,’ as a means of honouring the people whose losses have been deeply affective. Some choose to release a butterfly for a specific relative or friend who has passed away, and others chose to set a butterfly free in honour of those who mean the most to them in this world, said Barb Mundell, program and administrative coordinator for BFO Kingston. But regardless of what makes someone want to participate, there are aspects of healing and new beginnings that take place at each butterfly release. “I think, unfortunately, North American society kind of runs and hides from death and dying, and people feel lost and alone when they are grieving someone they love,” Mundell said. “Being able to be around like-individuals who are going through the same thing lets people realize that they’re not alone, and that life does go on,” she continued. “But you still have this missing person, this hole in your life, and I think it’s important for people to be able to have a community that they can share their loved ones with, where they can talk about them, and honour them, and make them part of their lives.” Mundell’s sentiments speak not only to the concept behind the butterfly releases, but also to the mandate of BFO Kingston, which is to provide support services, public awareness and volunteer training in the region for those dealing with or wanting to help with the bereavement process. BFO Kingston offers a variety of different group sessions to open up conversation and allow for the sharing of thoughts and memories, and also has facilitators available to speak with individuals on an

as-needed basis. This year, BFO Kingston is hosting three butterfly releases in partnership with Hospice Kingston, taking place throughout Kingston and Frontenac County. On Saturday, May 23, two butterfly release events will take place. The first will be in the Hospice Gardens at City Park in Kingston, and will begin with registration at noon with the welcoming address; the release will take place at 12:45 p.m. Then, beginning at 3 p.m., BFO and Hospice Kingston will host another butterfly release at Brooks Landing in Perth Road Village, with the release to take place at 3:40 p.m. Both of these events are open to the public, but, with Brooks Landing being a much smaller venue, Mundell suggests the City Park event as the easiest for the public to access. On Saturday, Jun. 3, the two organizations are hosting a semi-private butterfly release at Fairmount Home in Glenburnie. For the first time, the organizations have worked with Fairmount Home to organize the release specifically for residents at Fairmount, as well as their friends and family. That event will also feature music by Find Your Voice Music Therapy, and will take beginning with registration from 2 to 2:30 p.m. The butterfly release will take place at 2:40 p.m. For those at Fairmount, hosting the release is a perfect fit, explained Katie Johnson, recreationist at Fairmount home. “At Fairmount, we use the butterfly as a symbol of our gentle care philosophy. Our gentle care philosophy guides us in our work as we strive to offer choice, maintain the independence, and be true to the life choices of our residents,” Johnson said, noting that the event will take place in the much-loved garden courtyard on the Fairmount property. “At the ceremony, the participants will release a live butterfly to celebrate the life of the person they are honouring… We’ve heard of people who purchase butterflies and release them in honour of their children or grandchildren as a symbol of their life. While the purpose of the event was really to honour those we’ve lost, we see the event as an opportunity to celebrate life in general,” she continued. “We see this as such a unique opportunity for

our community; it’s a rare thing to be able to watch a butterfly take its first flight right from the palm of your hand!” Tickets for all three, which include one butterfly to release, are $25 each. Those wishing to release more than one butterfly simply need to purchase the same number of tickets as butterflies they wish to release. Tickets and butterflies must be purchased by Friday, May 12. Tickets are available through the BFO Kingston website at www.bfo-kingston.com or through the Hospice Kingston website at www.hospicekingston.ca. For assistance in purchasing tickets, call Maura A scene from a pervious year's butterfly at 613-542-5013 ext. 9.

Wilton Cheese Factory celebrates 150 years of tradition and quality cheese BY MANDY MARCINIAK

Cheese Factory for a number of years.” Arne Jensen became Wilton’s major buyer and when the farmer’s cooperative decided that they no longer wanted to run the factory, they looked to Jensen for a buyout. “My grandfather bought them out in the 1970s and one of the conditions on the sale was that he never change the name of the factory and we have always honoured that,” explained Scott. “He also opened in Simcoe as AM Jensen Limited, and eventually my father took over the business and now I have taken over for him.” While the ownership may have changed over the years, the tradition of artisan cheese manufacturing has remained the same.

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

This year, as Canada celebrates 150 years, a local landmark will also be celebrating this historic milestone. The Wilton Cheese Factory, which opened in the small town of Wilton in 1867, originally operated as a farmer’s cooperative. For years, the cooperative worked with local cheese sellers, farmers markets and passionate cheese makers, including Arne Jensen. “My grandfather came from Denmark in 1925 and he worked in cheese and dairy places in the area while he learned English,” explained Scott Jensen, president of AM Jensen Limited. “He became a cheese maker and he was actually paid in cheese and he sold it door to door. He also worked closely with the Wilton

Paddlers travel from Kingston to Ottawa to show we are all 'Connected by Canoe' BY MANDY MARCINIAK

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

This summer, Canada will celebrate its 150th birthday and, in honour of that milestone, 16 people will be contemplating the country's past and future in an iconic Canadian vessel: the canoe. On May 2, the Connected by Canoe Journey officially launched their 10-day trip up the Cataraqui Waterway from Kingston to Ottawa. The group will travel via a Montreal Canoe that seats 16 people and as they paddle, they will engage in a floating conversation. "The idea was to bring greetings from the Canadian Canoe Museum to the Community Foundation of Canada's annual gathering on May 11," explained James Raffan, co-ordinator of the Connected by Canoe project. "We decided that the best way to do that was in this iconic vessel that people have been using to travel these waters for years." The Canadian Canoe Museum is home to over 600 canoes that represent Canadian history from coast to coast to coast and for Raffan, the canoe represents even more than that. "We really do think the canoe has

possibilities for Canada," he said. "I mean, it is a nation of rivers and a river of nations. But the canoe is about health. It’s about cross-cultural connections. It’s about connecting to the land and connecting to each other." Raffan reached out to the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area when he was planning the

journey to see if they would be willing to give them a send off. Tina Bailey, executive director of CFKA, was happy to oblige — with the help of some community partners. On May 2, members of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, Cataraqui Canoe Club, 1000 Islands Kayaking Company, Limestone Board and Boat Club, Trailhead,

and the Sydenham Lake Canoe Club gathered at the Kingston Rowing Club to welcome the group and Bailey even went for a spin in their boat. "I wish I was going with them," she said following the paddle. "I really admire the journey they are embarking on and I am excited to see what comes out of it." The team of paddlers is made up

of volunteers from across the country and from various backgrounds, including Inuit and First Nations, and each person was asked to bring with them an open-ended question to be discussed on the journey. "The questions are about the future of Canada and we will explore them as we move," said Raffan. "The fl oating conversation will expand as we reach each community. It is a reminder that we are all in the same boat and, even though we are marking our past, we need to look to the future too and fi gure out what we can be doing better as a country." Raffan was excited to get the journey underway and in the end, each participant will write a response to the question they posed. "Everyone is bringing their voice and their thoughts and we are going to explore that. It is very exciting," he said. "We have a real mix of people and we have come together to show that a canoe really can have some lessons about the past and the future and I hope we show that."

Cataraqui cemetery receives tree maintenance on day of service BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

The trees at Cataraqui Cemetery are not something that many visiting the historic site may think of, but director of operations Craig Boals sees the hundreds of trees on site as part of the cemetery’s natural heritage. “A lot of these trees would have been here when Sir John A. walked the grounds, and that is really amazing to think about,” he said. “They are a distinct part of the site and they are also expensive to maintain.” As a nonprofit group and registered charity, Cataraqui Cemetery has a limited budget for tree maintenance. They try to do what they can each year, and luckily this year, they got a bit of help from some local tree crews. “Each year, the Ontario Commercial Arborists Association (OCAA) holds a day of service to celebrate Arbor Day (April 28),” explained John Madden, owner and operator of Eco Tree Care in Kingston. “I have participated in the day before in Toronto, but this year I wanted

to bring it to Kingston.” For this day of service, the OCAA looks for host sites that are usually charities and nonprofit organizations with a significant collection of trees they would otherwise be unable to afford to maintain. “Cataraqui Cemetery was an easy choice for the inaugural day in Kingston,” said Madden. “They are drastically behind in their tree maintenance and they really needed something like this. We were able to bring local companies and two consultants together for the day, and it has been great.” The day took place on April 26 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Madden was joined by crews from his own company, Eco Tree Care, as well as crews from Abre Care Tree Services, Phillips Tree Service, Tim Allen Tree Service and Timber Tree Service. “More or less, we just came in and looked at hazard mitigation and removed deadwood and hanging branches,” he said. “There is no way we could get to everything in one day, but I imagine we did at least $20,000 worth of work.”

The work they did was much appreciated by Boals,

who explained that this amount of work is what they

would typically see throughout a whole year or maybe

longer. “We set a budget every year for tree maintenance — and that is about $10,000 a year — and it is usually for situations where we are reactive and a storm has blown the crown of a tree off or things like storm cleanup,” he said. “It is hard with our budget to be proactive. So, it was nice to be proactive with this event.” Similar events also took place north of Toronto and in Hamilton on the same day, and Madden was happy to see Kingston taking part. “It is nice to give back to the community and to do it locally,” he said. “We also have the opportunity to make connections with other tree care crews through this, and it is nice to not be in competition and just come together for the day.” Boals was also happy to make some connections with the companies for the future and he hopes to see them again soon. “These types of events really help us out,” he said. “They are welcome back any time."

Wilton Cheese Factory celebrates 150 years of tradition and quality cheese Continued from page 13 “We haven’t really changed the product, we are still offering 100 per cent milk cheese and we don’t modify that,” said Jensen. “It is old world craftsmanship. The equipment is old and generations of people have worked there and that continues even today. It is really built on tradition and a lot of people enjoy supporting that.” In keeping with tradition, the cheese factory’s current manager, Dave Larkin, has been working at the factory since 1985. He started as just a labourer and maintenance worker, but he eventually worked his way up. “It was a job when I was young and it was a good job,” he said. “Over the years I learned the ins and outs and I was always surprised with how loyal the customers are and how far reaching this little factory is.” According to Larkin, the factory sells most of their cheese on the weekends and on a typical weekend they sell approximately 1,000 pounds of fresh cheese curd. “We have people that come from all across the province and they have to stop in Wilton for their cheese,” he said. “It has become a passed on tradition to go to the Wilton Cheese Factory and people have grown up on the cheese.”

On a full make day, the factory will produce 90 blocks of cheese, each weighing in at about 40 pounds. The cheese is distributed throughout Kingston, Napanee, Gananoque and surrounding areas, but the factory itself is still the place to be on a weekend. “Sundays are our busiest day of the week and we see about 500 people come through and some days even more,” said Larking. “It

is really incredible to see.” Even with competition in the cheese market and larger factories that inevitably produce cheese at lower prices, Wilton continues to bring in customers and Jensen believes it has a lot to do with the quality of the product. “We place a lot of emphasis on fresh and quality cheese,” he said. “The staff is determined to make a really high quality product and we

go out of our way to make a superior product. We aren’t interested in quantity going out the door, there is a lot of care that goes into

this process and we take a lot of pride in that.” This year, as the factory celebrates 150 years of that pride and quality, Larkin hopes to have a celebration in Wilton. He has ordered tote bags for customers to take home and he hopes to have a special day of celebration. “We haven’t worked out the details just yet, but we want to have cake and maybe some grilled cheese sandwiches too,” he said. “We want to thank our customers and recognize this accomplishment.” Jensen is also excited to see Wilton reach this milestone and he admits that even the offices in Simcoe have been buzzing with excitement. “There has been so much excitement recently and it is out of the ordinary for companies to last this long,” he said. “In the cheese world it is all about aging, and I think we have aged pretty well.” The Wilton Cheese Factory is located at 287 Simmons Rd. in Wilton.

Should councillors be made full-time? Independent review aims to fi nd ou

BY BILL HUTCHINS

News — City councillors have launched a first-ever review of their own workload. The comprehensive review is expected to determine whether the 12 district councillors should get more pay, full-time status, more administrative support, or nothing extra. “It’s one whopper of a part-time job,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson, who introduced the fact-finding motion May 2. The mayor says the workload review stems from a series of informal conversations

that he’s had with his colleagues around the horseshoe over the past two years. While the job and salary of Kingston’s mayor is based on full-time hours, the 12 councillors are considered parttime. But many say they are struggling to balance their elected duties with full-time day jobs and families. “I’m convinced there’s a strong appetite to have this discussion,” Mayor Paterson explained. First-term councillor Mary Rita Holland outlined her own personal struggles trying to balance her public duties with private life. “I’ve had

five jobs in the past two years since I’ve been on council.” Coun. Holland, a single mother, says it’s been hard fi nding an employer who is sympathetic and flexible to accommodate an elected member, especially with the commitment to serve on various committees throughout the day. The city’s current governance system favours older people with more advanced careers while discouraging CouncillorsJeff McLaren, Ryan Boehme and Rob Hutchinson others from seeking office as it pays just $30,000 a year, she added.

We take action by: standcancer on important cancerwere issues In•thetaking past, amost medications administered by intravenous (IV) in the hospital and covered by the government. Today, many cancer medications are now taken at home, which be easier for people with cancer and their families. It is estimated that more than 50% of new cancer drugs are formulated for in-home administration. There are several advantages to this, including less travel for patients and ease of administration. However, in Ontario, many patients and their families face delays or financial barriers in accessing take-home cancer medications. For example, take-home cancer drugs in Ontario are not publicly-funded through the same programs as medications delivered in hospital. People with cancer must see coverage from a mix of private insurance (which often has co-payments or limits), out-of-pocket costs, or provincial programs for certain groups. This process of obtaining authorization and reimbursement of approved cancer medications can be time-consuming, exhausting and overwhelming.

Unfortunately, it can also delay or prevent patients from accessing cancer medications. Additionally, 1 in 6 Ontario cancer patients report that their out-of-pocket expenses are significant or unmanageable. The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) believes that all Canadians should have access to cancer drug treatments without financial hardship regardless of where they live. Coping with a cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment is difficult enough; patients and their families should not have to deal with the additional stress of having to determine how they will fund their drugs. In a recent poll conducted by CCS, 91% of the Ontarians polled agreed that the government should fund take-home cancer drugs. It’s time for Ontario to catch up, and CCS is recommending the Government of Ontario develop a provincial program that provides coverage for all eligible cancer drugs taken at home. You can take action today and tell your MPP that Ontario needs a program to cover the cost of all eligible take-home cancer drugs.

Should councillors be made full-time? Independent review aims to fi nd ou Continued from page 18 “I think when we look around this table we don’t really have the diversity on this council.” The mayor’s motion, approved 11-1, will broaden the mandate of a citizens committee to investigate the current workload of councillors and, if needed, to look at various options to ease their workload. There are several possible scenarios mentioned so far, such as elevating councillors to full-time status but having fewer councillors elected, hiring administrative support to help them represent constituents, or paying them extra as an incentive to serve on committees. The arm’s-length review committee, which has yet to be appointed, is already tasked with updating council’s remuneration every four years based on the rates of similar-sized municipalities. It will now tackle the workload issue as well.

While the review aims to keep all options open for consideration, including the status quo, it did trigger some early debate about the merits of part-time versus full-time councillors. “We’re too small to consider full-time. It’s not our time yet,” said Coun. Lisa Osanic, the lone opponent of the mayor’s motion. She says only three Ontario cities currently elect their municipal councillors to serve full-time: Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton. Coun. Osanic says making council jobs full-time is a double-edged sword. While it could attract more candidates who don’t have to worry about holding second jobs, it could also dissuade others who already have careers that they don’t want to give up to seek election with the security of just a fouryear term. Coun. Rob Hutchison is also skeptical about the need to review council’s workload. “I’m not all that sure

the workload has increased.” But others say running a municipal government has become increasingly complex and there’s more to it than showing up for council meetings every two weeks. They point to extensive committee work, attending public meetings, and representing the needs of constituents. The current political dynamic has many young councillors juggling jobs, families, and the duties of elected office. Coun. Liz Schell says she knew from the moment voters elected the youngest council in the city’s history in 2014 that the existing pay and workload would not be a good fit for some of them. “As soon as we were elected and I realized what a wonderful young council we had — full of smart, very well-educated people who also have full-time jobs and young families — I thought this is not going to be sustainable for them.”

Some have pointed to the recent resignation of former Countryside councillor Richard Allen, who took a career job with Frontenac

County, as a possible symptom of a growing problem with the current governance system. Results of the workload

review should be known some time next year, but any changes would not be implemented until after the 2018 municipal election.

Night noise: Council permits evening demolition work at old Providence hospital BY BILL HUTCHINS

News — Providence Care faces a tight timeline to complete the final phase of its hospital redevelopment at 752 King St. W. And that means things could get a little noisy during the days and into the evenings this summer.

The hospital and its contractor, EllisDon, have secured council’s permission to make noise for 16 hours every weekday for the next three months in order to demolish the 1960s-era Mental Health Services building. The recently-closed facility, adjacent to the new Providence Care

Providence Care Hospital submitted photo

Hospital, is slated to become a spacious parking lot for staff, patients, volunteers and other visitors. But the request for an evening noise exemption, allowing construction activity to continue between 7 and 11 p.m. during the summer months, did not sit well with neighbours. “Council has never granted an exemption of that nature,” noted Hal Linscott, president of the board of Frontenac Condominium Corporation #28 at 1000 King St. W. Linscott says adding four more hours to the weekday demolition work, which is already permitted from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., will affect the health and property enjoyment of area residents. “It’s unusual, excessive, unwanted. It’s disturbing to persons.” City officials confirm the number of consecutive days sought for the noise exemption would be “unprecedented.” EllisDon wanted the Monday to Friday evening noise exemption from May 3 to Sept. 1. Coun. Liz Schell, who represents the area, called the request a “massive change” to the city’s noise bylaw, adding she was surprised that hospital builders asked for it. EllisDon did not request extended working hours

during the multi-year contraction of the hospital. “I was surprised … everything seemed to go smoothly and all of a sudden we got this big ask from a demolition company.” Providence Care says there is an urgency to demolish the old building and pave a new parking lot this fall when asphalt can still be spread. “Any delay in the November deadline will impact patient care and can be interpreted as a failure in what has otherwise been a smooth process,” Krista Wells Pearce, vice president of hospital planning and support, told council May 2. She says shifting focus to demolition, landscaping and parking will complete the Providence picture on the sprawling west end site, noting the ongoing logistics problem: patients can’t make full use of hospital courtyards, staff and visitors currently don’t have enough on-site parking, and there’s a need for a maintenance garage to provide jobs and other support services. Providence Care also needs revenues from the 615-space paid parking lot that will be built on the old hospital site, she added. As another noise control safeguard, Providence Care says it has

the authority “to restrict construction activity if/when it is deemed to adversely impact hospital patients, despite any noise exemption that may be in effect.” Linscott suggested Providence Care created its own crisis by moving patients and staff into the new hospital too soon, without adequate parking, before the old hospital could be demolished. He says residents of 1000 King St. W. never once objected to the three year long hospital build. Seeking a compromise between the needs of the hospital and the rights of neighbours, councillors voted to allow the extended demolition hours, but over a shorter time frame. The noise exemption will expire Aug. 1, a month sooner than the contractor wanted. EllisDon’s subcontractor, Priestly Demolition, must also adhere to certain conditions between 7 and 11 p.m. to curtail some of the noisier activities during the evening hours. These include: -no extended working hours during stat holidays; -no hydraulic hammering or truck loading permitted after 7 p.m.; -only inside work is permitted after 9 p.m. with no dropping in drop zones. Mayor Bryan Paterson introduced the compromise amendment to unanimous support. “This tries to put a fire under those doing the work to get it done as quickly as possible.” Most of the political debate focused on Coun. Schell’s failed amendment to only allow demolition activity from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday to Thursday, between May 3 and Aug. 15. It was defeated 8-4 amid fears the extra restrictions could prevent the contractor from finishing the demolition work this year and the disruptive work may have to resume next spring. Councillors instead went for the short-term pain option, though many conceded EllisDon can return to council this summer if it needs the noise exemption extended beyond Aug. 1.

Charity barbecue raises money for Dawn House Kingston Community Credit Union (KCCU) raised $1,500 in support of Dawn House with a community barbecue held May 4 at Gardiners Road at Taylor-Kidd Boulevard. Dawn House was recently vandalized during the construction of their new premises as they seek to provide medium term housing solutions for community members experiencing shelter security issues for various reasons. Formerly a shelter, Dawn House, under the leadership of Executive Director Maggie McLaren, has repurposed itself in keeping with the City of Kingston’s Report on Housing and Homelessness to provide longer term housing for women and their families who need solutions transitioning into permanent independent living. The KCCU SOCO (Social Committee), guided by Heather Shortall, helped organize this initiative to show local support and provide some financial assistance to help Dawn House recover from the delays caused by the vandalism. The barbecue was fully staffed and manned by volunteers from KCCU and Dawn House. Kingston Police and Kingston Fire and Rescue also supported the barbecue.

Emergency services test response plan with simulated crash at Kingston airport BY MANDY MARCINIAK

“We are required under federal regulation to hold these exercises every few years and the last time we did a live exercise was in 2011,” explained David Snow, airport manager. “It is an opportunity to get participating agencies together to co-ordinate their response and we learn from each other the best and most effec-

tive way to reach, treat and take care of passengers.” In this particular scenario, one plane crashed There were two plane crashes at Kingston’s on the runway carrying 70 passengers and four Norman Rogers Airport on Thursday, May crew members, while the other crashed in the 4 — luckily, they were just simulations. The woods behind the airport and carrying two crashes were designed to test the emergency passengers. Emergency responders performed preparedness of Kingston’s first responders. triage procedures with the passengers, and in the scenario everyone was located and 31 peoFirst responders took part in a crash simulation at Kingston Airport on May 4. Mandy Marciniak/Metroland ple were reported deceased on scene. The exercise concluded with a mock press conference for the media where Deputy Chief of Kingston Fire and Rescue, Don Corbett, provided an update on the situation. He explained that the crashes were unrelated, the coroner was on scene, and the investigation was ongoing as to the cause. Following that update, he explained that crashes like this can be a bit trickier than other crashes they see more regularly. “There are a lot of factors that need to be considered in a crash like this, and it is not like a vehicle on the 401,” he said. “There are a lot of people involved and there are flammable materials to be concerned with, and you are also dealing with a federal area that you need access to. We have to be trained and ready to go for incidents like this.” mandymarciniak@metroland.com

The scenes were set up with the help of Loomex and each step was executed as if the emergency was real, complete with drama students from Holy Cross High School acting as victims. “The whole scenario becomes really real for the first responders and that is what we wanted them to be exposed to,” said Snow. “The students did a fantastic job and now we begin the process of analyzing the response overall.” In the coming days, members from Kingston Fire and Rescue, Kingston Police, Frontenac Paramedics, and the airport will review the procedure and the things that worked and that did not. But, for now, they are just happy to have completed the simulation. “We started planning for the exercise about a year ago and a lot of work goes into exercises like this,” said Snow. “We are interested to see how it went overall and improve from there.”

Former Countryside councillor hopes experience leads to success in byelection BY MANDY MARCINIAK

out here.” Scott is also hoping to provide assisted housing for seniors in Countryside and focus on paving shoulders in hamlets throughout the district. “They can be used for cycling and walking,” he said. “The paving would also signal to drivers that these areas are used for other purposes and it would help identify the hamlets more.” He has been campaigning diligently throughout the district since fi ling his papers for the byelection and claims he has visited 3,350 homes. “Now it is a matter of returning to the places where people weren’t home and I make sure to say hi,” he said. “The thing I have heard most in those visits is that the rural people aren’t sure how they fit into the

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

Jeff Scott admits that he never thought politics were his thing; but once he got involved, he was hooked. “I didn’t wake up one morning and decide that I wanted to get into politics,” he explained. “I drove school buses with Joyce MacleodKane and one morning she said she wanted to run, and I helped her and she won. But then, I didn’t like how she was doing things, and I ran myself and became councillor. It just kind of happened.” Scott is trained as an urban designer and urban forester, and as such, learned about things like Jeff Scott is running for the posisewers, water lines, roads and subdivisions. For him, the position tion of councillor in the Countryof councillor was a natural fi t. So, side byelection on May 15. Submitted photo when he lost in the last municipal election, he had every intention of running again the next time around. “The byelection came a bit earlier, but I knew that I would run again,” he said. For Scott, the big issues in the district go beyond the third crossing — which he points out is more of a whole city issue — and his main focus throughout his campaign has been rural roads. “The major roads are in good shape, but we really don’t know where we fi t in the grand scheme of things for road maintenance,” he said. “The reality is that we don’t know what kind of standard should be in place for the roads. We don’t know the procedure for the roads and where we fit in the budget.” Scott hopes that he can make these standards clearer and focus on overall maintenance across the district. He also hopes to work on making the rural area more vibrant. “To do this, I want to give opportunity for more diversity in terms of housing, and that is why I have Personal Care | Palliative Care advocated for secondary suites and | Pre & Post Surgery Care I was able to get that approved at 24 Hour Care | Transportation | 1379-B Princess Street Kingston council,” he said. “It allows a lot of Meal Prep seniors out here to have units that allow them to stay in their homes Call us today! www.limestonecityhomehealthcare.com and it also diversifies the population

city. They pay their taxes, but they don’t feel like they really have a clear place.” Scott hopes to make Countryiside’s place more clear, and he hopes to work with council to do that. “This isn’t a war against the city; it is just that our priorities are different,” he said. “We don’t want the city to be soaked for paying for all our roads, but maybe it should be a higher priority out here.” So why should people vote for him this time around? “I have the experience and I have

been on council before, and I know how things are run,” he said. “I have a great understanding of how the city works, but I also have an understanding of how the rural area works, and I would be pretty good at making sure that the rural area isn’t just heard on council but also make sure that our issues get addressed within council in a different way.” For more information about Jeff Scott and his campaign, visit his website at https://jeffscottcountryside.wordpress.com/ or look for him on Twitter and Facebook.

Two and Three Mile cousins knew how to cause a stir

Getting invited to a birthday party didn’t happen very often. Birthdays, if celebrated at all, were left to the family. And if your birthday was close to Easter, or Christmas, like mine was, all you got was cake with well-used candles on it. There would be no money for even the simplest of presents. But Two-

Mile-Herman’s home was different. There were 11 children in his family, some of them married and on farms of their own, and there was young Cora, who was my age, and when her birthday rolled around, those of us who were in her grade were simply invited by an older brother or sister at recess at the Northcote School. There was no such thing as written invitations. And so, one Saturday, my brother Everett drove me over to the Barr Line in the buggy for Cora’s birthday party. The place was fair jumping by the time we got there. All Cora’s friends from school were there, as well as various cousins, including

Three-Mile-Herman. Now, the two cousins didn’t always see eye-to-eye, and it was an everyday occurrence to see them come to blows behind the Northcote School over something as simple as failing to hit the ball, or make it to first base. Presents weren’t expected either. And if one was offered, it would be something simple like a little fancy hanky taken from a Christmas present, received from a rich aunt months before, or a toy watch from a box of crackerjacks. You were there to have fun, eat, and go home with one of the butterscotch suckers gathered together with an elastic band, and bought at Briscoe’s General Store for a nickel a bunch. It didn’t take long for the boys to separate from the girls, going outside to play tag, shoot tin cans off the fence with their slingshots, or sitting on the pump platform playing marbles. Cora’s friends elected to stay inside, never taking our eyes off the big mile high cake in the centre of the kitchen table. It seems to me, all we were there for was to eat cake and go home with a butterscotch sucker. Cora’s mother eventually went to the back door, banged a wooded spoon on the bottom of

a tin pot, and the boys tore into the kitchen and with us girls circled the huge table that easily sat Two-Mile-Herman’s complete family. It was cake time, which to me was far more exciting than just sitting around doing nothing. Because inside the cake we knew there would be a few coins wrapped in wax paper, including a whole dime. No one knew who would get the dime. It depended entirely on where Cora’s mother cut into the cake. I was told by Mother before I left home that if I was the lucky one, I was to hand the dime over to Cora, which I didn’t think the least bit fair. Well, I needn’t have worried, because Three-Mile-Herman got it, and that’s when the fight started. Two Mile told his cousin to hand it over to his sister Cora, but Three Mile already had it in his pocket, and announced he’d be leaving because his Father would be waiting for him at the Northcote Side Road. Two Mile threw himself at Three Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove. The rest of us sat around the kitchen table eating cake as if a free-for-all between the two cousins was an everyday occurrence, which it was. Cora’s mother simply went to the pump in the kitchen, pumped

out a dipper of water, and threw it over the two boys, which brought the fight to a sudden halt. She just stood there with the dipper in her hand, and her arm stretched out. Three Mile knew what she was after, and he pulled the wax paper-wrapped dime from his pocket and handed it over, which was then handed over to Cora. Cora licked the cake off the wax paper, and tore upstairs with the dime to put it away for safe-keeping. The party was over. Everett was waiting for me outside with the buggy, and I went home wondering why anyone bothered to have a birthday party in the first place. I would never be lucky enough to find a dime in my piece of cake, and besides, we had cake every Sunday, so that was no treat either. I talked it over with my sister Audrey, and we both decided celebrating birthdays at home with only the family was far better than getting all dressed up, just to come home with a butterscotch sucker!

Kingston branch of Canadian Mental Health Association moves to new location, expands services BY MANDY MARCINIAK

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

The Kingston branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has a new location, although it won’t be hard for clients to find. “We were just a few doors up in this plaza and the space was quite small for the expansion of the programs we wanted to do,” explained Judi Burrill, executive director of CMHA Kingston. “We moved down the plaza for a bigger space that is more client-friendly.” To celebrate the move, the organization held an open house on May 1. The new space, located at 400 Elliot St., Unit 11, will allow the CMHA to expand their services in Kingston, something Burrill has been looking forward to for a long time. “In the old space we were limited to just one room really, and that made it hard when we had people meeting and then a new client walked in,” she said. “This space gives us an opportunity to do workshops and we can rent out spaces here for different events and there is a lot more space for people to work

in.” Burrill is the only full-time employee of CMHA in Kingston, but a number of volunteers work to keep the programs going and often there are placement students from Queen’s and surrounding colleges working in the office.

“Volunteers are really the core of our operation,” said Burrill. “When we moved, students and other volunteers donated over 200 hours of work and they primed and painted the walls, and we moved all the furniture with a dolly from one end of the mall to the other. It was quite

a feat and we couldn’t have done it without them.” With the new and bigger location comes some extra costs, and while CMHA is partially funded by United Way, they rely on funding grants to make up the difference and they are hoping that income from rental

rooms in the new offi ce will help with those costs too. The new space will also allow for expanded programming, including kids programs that until now could only run in schools, and Burrill hopes to continue to expand men’s, women’s and LGBT programming too. The new space also makes it easier for CMHA to continue working on their no-wrong-door policy “For us, that means it doesn’t matter who comes in the door, we are going to meet with them and see what we can do to help,” she said. “For example, we had a mom and young person come in for services and while I can speak with them and support them, I referred them to a place that would best fit their needs.” The new space allows for these conversations to happen in a more confi dential manner and Burrill hopes this will encourage more people to come in. “The whole idea is to make people feel comfortable and not make them feel like they went to the wrong place,” she said. “We don’t want people to feel discouraged. We want to help them as much as we can."

Be careful what you wish for when joining The Circle RATING: PG I love a good psychological thriller, especially when they take an unexpected turn. In some ways 'The Circle' is a psychological thriller of the highest order, and it takes a twist I never saw coming. The Circle is a high tech company like Facebook or Google. Only it's even more pervasive, more insidious if you can MARK HASKINS imagine that. Led by Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks) and Tom Stenton (Patton Oswalt), MARK HASKINS The Circle connects almost everyone and mark13_ca@yahoo.ca everything, though they have plans to go farther. They've just invented a new minMOVIE: The Circle iature camera that broadcasts in real time, STARRING: Emma Watson, Tom records more metrics than one can imagHanks, Karen Gillan, Eller Coltrane, ine, and can be put anywhere.

Watson). Her friend Annie (Karen Gillian) helped get her the interview which led to an entry-level position in customer service. Mae soon learns that The Circle isn't like other companies. The Circle is one part internet giant, one part commune, and one part cult. It's overwhelming, but Mae soon starts to fit right in. Then Mae goes even further. She agrees to go completely transparent which means every facet of her life will be broadcast in real time. She'll have no secrets. She'll have no lies. Mae believes this will allow people to be their best selves. She gets millions of followers, but there are consequences that neither Mae nor Bailey can conceive. When I say 'The Circle' is a psychological thriller of the highest order what I mean is it exists almost solely in the realm of the mind. Just when you think, now people are going to start disappearing, they don't. Instead it's one mental twist after another. Those twists are often subtle, but they accumulate and over time really add up. The cast has some interesting faces whose characters give glimpses into the possible paths the story might go. Karen

Gillian brilliantly takes her character from confident executive to mental breakdown. You have Patton Oswalt as your typical evil face of the corporation, and Eller Coltrane is the other extreme playing the outsider. John Boyega plays the reclusive and disillusioned inventor, and you have the late Bill Paxton and Glenne Headly as Mae's parents who don't understand this strange world. One of the things I love is seeing Tom Hanks play a villain. I'm not sure that's ever happened before. 'The Circle' is worth seeing just for that. Then there's our hero Mae played perfectly by Emma Watson. It's an intimate portrayal that leads us through Mae's needs, wants and insecurities. Her performance inexorably takes us to the logical conclusion without ever giving away what that conclusion is. I found 'The Circle' fascinating. Part of that is how The Circle becomes a character. This place, this thing is both strangely appealing and incredibly creepy. It is brilliant. Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature.

Factors to consider when choosing a neighborhood When shopping for a home, it’s easy for buyers to fall in love with a property. A wellmaintained home with updated features can be hard to resist, but buyers must consider more than just a home’s appearance before submitting an offer. One variable prospective home buyers tend to value more highly than others is the neighborhood where they will ultimately choose to live. Many buyers even value neighborhoods more than homes, feeling they can always fix a home but cannot necessarily fix an undesirable neighborhood. When considering which neighborhood to begin a home search, buyers should research a host of factors. Crime Crime statistics are public domain, meaning buyers can examine crime figures for any neighborhood where they are considering buying a home. Some real estate websites list neighborhood crime ratings among the information they offer about a given property. In addition, buyers interested in learning about crime in a given neighborhood can visit a site such as CrimeReports.com to access data on crimes committed near a particular address. Home values Home values are another factor to consider when choosing a neighborhood in which to 2

buy a home. Buyers can work with a local realtor to find a neighborhood or area where real estate prices are trending upwards. While buyers might be able to find a great deal on a home in a neighborhood where home prices are dropping, it’s important to remember those home prices are dropping for a reason. Work with your realtor to find a neighborhood where you can afford a home and where property values are not in decline. Realtors will have access to recent sales figures so you can get an idea of whether a neighborhood is trending upward or in decline. Amenities The proximity of amenities such as shopping, restaurants and parks is attractive to many buyers, and that’s something all buyers should consider before buying a home. Even if you prefer a home in a remote location, that could limit your market of buyers when you want to sell the home down the road. While your own comfort and preferences should ultimately prevail over potential resale value, it’s important that you at least consider access to amenities before making a decision. You might be able to find a compromise in a home that is a short drive away from a town center, but still remote enough that you are not in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

Kingston Homefinder.ca - Thursday, May 11, 2017

Commute Quality of life is heavily influenced by commute time. Many men and women feel their quality of life improves dramatically the shorter their daily commute is. When considering a particular neighborhood, do a

test run before making an offer on a home. Wake up early and drive to the area where you are thinking of buying, and then commute from there during rush hour. Also, do the reverse commute come quitting time. You might be able to get an estimated commute

time online, but a test run can give you a more accurate idea of what your daily trips to and from the office will be like. Choosing a neighborhood where you will enjoy living requires some forethought and research.

MARKET EVALUATION ✁

Exterior lighting improves the safety and appearance of a home When drafting a to-do list for home improvements that can increase home value and appeal, several renovations may be atop homeowners’ lists. While kitchen or bathroom remodels may be popular renovations, homeowners also should consider outdoor lighting schemes that can make homes safer and more alluring. Outdoor lighting serves various purposes. Such lighting can draw attention to more impressive parts of a property. In addition, such lighting can improve security and deter criminals. To get started, homeowners should first examine the exteriors of their homes and make note of existing lighting and where improvements can be made. If you’re not sure where to begin, speak with an electrician or a landscape designer, each of whom can offer suggestions on lighting and which options are the best fit for your particular property. Next, you’ll want to consider efficiency and function. The United States Department of Energy suggests incorporating energy-efficient lighting, including energy-saving LED bulbs or fluorescent lights, into your plans. Timers and other automatic controls can prevent waste by turning lights on only when they are needed. Solar lights can be

used as accent lights, further saving energy. Beauty When addressing aesthetics, think about the appeal of an accented landscape. Include lights to frame the front door and call attention to certain elements, such as decorative trees or water features. Use lights to light up deck stairways or to accent planters. Speak with a lighting professional about how to position lights to cover the most territory in the most attractive way possible. Safety Safety is an important consideration when improving a home. Lighting can help illuminate potential hazards or draw attention to borders or property boundaries. Navigating in the dark can be treacherous, so put lights along pathways and near pools or spas. Be sure that lights will clearly mark other walkways around your home, such as those leading from doors to the yard or from the garage to where trash and recycling pails are kept. If a design element such as a bridge over a water feature or a particular ornamental tree or shrub is difficult to navigate in the dark, use lights to improve visibility. Security Added security is another

reason to install more exterior lighting. Dark homes are attractive to burglars. Eliminate dark corners by lighting up areas where thieves may be able to gain access to your home. This includes areas near doorways

and ground-level windows. Install motion-sensor lights in such areas so you are not wasting energy. Lighting may not only deter human intruders, but also it can scare away animals. A raccoon,

skunk or opossum may think twice about hanging around your home when your property is bathed in a spotlight. Revamping exterior lighting elements can improve the safety and the look of a home.

Bring more natural light into a home Maximizing natural light in a home is a smart and sometimes low-cost renovation. Homes that are dark and drab can drain energy levels and reduce productivity. In addition, dark rooms may not be inviting places to gather as a family or when entertaining. Certain factors contribute to a dark home. Houses that face north or east may not get the same level of sunlight as those that primarily face south and west. Geographic location also plays a role in the amount of natural sunlight. Mountains, buildings and even latitude can affect the amount of natural light that enters a home. The style of a home and its attributes also may create dark conditions. Deep house eaves as well as small windows or too few windows also can contribute to a deficit of light indoors. A major remodel certainly can remedy the situation. However, there also are other lessextensive strategies to improve natural light. • Assess the situation before renovating. Walk around the house and determine which rooms get the most light and which conditions may be contributing to the problem in other areas. Dark floors and walls may be absorbing natural light and compounding the situation. You may find that only one or two rooms need 4

attention, saving you the cost and effort associated with a major home overhaul. • Lighten up window treatments. Heavy drapes or thick blinds can be replaced with translucent alternatives. Translucent shades will allow light into the room without compromising privacy, say the experts at HGTV. • Use mirrors strategically. A mirror placed opposite a window will reflect light all around the room. This can make a small room seem larger and a dark space instantly brighter. • Install new windows and doors. If the budget allows, installing larger windows in a home will allow more natural light in. French doors or sliding doors also may make a home’s interior more bright. Think about adding windows to a side of the house that has none, or increase the size of the windows on the side of the house that gets the most light. • Maximize sunlight from above. Skylights will bring light into a home as the sun passes overhead. Tubular skylights can bring natural sunlight into spaces where you may not expect skylights to be practical. According to Houzz, a design and architectural resource, tubular daylighting devices, or TDDs, can make a big difference. TDDs are reflective

Kingston Homefinder.ca - Thursday, May 11, 2017

pipes installed between the roof and ceiling, with a clear plastic dome. • Use reflective decor. Reflective surfaces, including glass and metal, can brighten up a room and diffuse light around a room. Glossy backsplashes, pendant lighting and shiny

metal that reflect light can increase the natural light, balancing out dark spaces. • Prune trees regularly. Cut back branches and keep trees tidy to maximize sunlight. Avoid planting tall shrubbery in front of windows. • Routinely clean windows

and glass doors. Dirt and other grime can prevent light from getting through. Regularly give windows a thorough washing. Natural light is an important commodity in a home. Sunlight can improve mood and go a long way toward keeping home occupants healthy and happy.

How to prepare your home for prospective buyers Selling a home can be exciting. Homeowners who made considerable financial commitments when buying their homes may be anxious when the time comes to get returns on their investments, but selling a hope need not be so nerveracking. Buyers’ tastes often dictate their interest in a home. For example, no matter how immaculate homeowners may keep their colonials, such homes won’t appeal much to buyers looking for a traditional Cape Cod cottage-style home. But while you might not be able to change your home’s architecture to appeal to the masses, there are steps you can take to make your home more appealing to buyers whose dream home more closely resembles your own. • Address curb appeal. Curb appeal goes a long way toward creating a lasting first impression, so homeowners can start by driving up to their homes and looking at them through the eyes of prospective buyers. Address the landscape if it needs some TLC, and power wash siding if it’s appearing a little dirty. Examine your driveway for cracks and consider installing a new surface if the existing one is more of an eyesore than eye-catching. Finally, clear the yard of toys and tools before nailing the “For Sale” sign into the ground, as a cluttered yard will give buyers the impression that you did not prioritize keeping a clean and presentable home. • Clear out the clutter. Some sellers stage their homes when putting them up for sale. But staging might not be an option for sellers who are still living in their

homes and intend to do so until they find buyers. If you can’t stage your home, then do your best to remove clutter, including extra pieces of furniture you might have accumulated over the years that can make rooms seem smaller. Box up any books that no longer fit on bookshelves, and try to keep common areas like family rooms, hallways and kids’ playrooms as open and clean as possible so the rooms appear roomy and relaxing. • Let the light shine in. Dark homes are less appealing to prospective buyers, many of whom have no interest in living in caves that are void of natural sunlight. When showing your home, make sure all of the curtains are drawn and the blinds or shades are up. If trees or shrubs outside windows are blocking natural light from getting inside, consider trimming them so your home appears sunnier and more inviting. Bright homes tend to feel more spacious, so fix any light fixtures that need fixing and even add small lamps in rooms that could use some extra light. • Tackle that to-do list. It’s easy for a home’s residents to grow accustomed to certain minor problems, such as a doorknob that always sticks or a creaky kitchen cabinet door. But buyers might be turned off by too many of these minor problems and wonder if any larger and more expensive issues also went ignored. Before showing your home, address all those minor repairs on your to-do list. Selling a home can be exciting, and homeowners can take steps to make sure their home sale is successful and lucrative as well.
