Dawn House move to west Kingston causes worry among neighbours

By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston’s Dawn House is planning to revamp its mandate and relocate to a vacant medical office in the city’s west end. But some neighbours are worried about it.

The women’s shelter is seeking planning approvals to convert the former two-storey Bayridge Medical Centre at 965 Milford Drive, at Bayridge Drive, into a residential building with nine affordable bachelor apartment units, a safe/ transitional unit with seven beds, office space for the organization, and landscaped amenity space covering

about half of the 46 parking spaces.

Coun. Liz Schell, who chairs the planning committee that will decide the zoning issue, says the building has been vacant for five years, and believes Dawn House would be a good fit for the old medical building.

“Obviously no one wanted to buy it or rent it so Dawn House has an agreement to buy it if they can get the zoning to create some much needed affordable housing.”

Dawn House ceased operations as an emergency shelter last September, but is trying to reinvent its role to include a long-term af-

fordable housing component along with counselling, advocacy and other support programs in order to qualify for municipal funding under the city’s new Housing First program, according to Coun. Schell.

“There will also be a community room. If there’s yoga classes or Tai Chi the neighbourhood will be invited,” she added.

But the pending move of Dawn House isn’t sitting well with some neighbours of the Bayridge neighbourhood, some of whom have filed letters of objection with the city. Some worry the proposed shelter will lead to diminished safety

and security and negatively impact home resale values.

“We have invested significant dollars in the development of this quiet space. We feel that a change to the zoning to allow for residential, and subsequently the Dawn House, would have a significant negative impact,” wrote Danielle Latulippe Residents also fear the addition of nine permanent housing units will attract unwanted visitors with a variety of mental health and addiction issues to the neighbourhood.

Students assist duck family in journey to water For the seventh year in a row, a mama duck chose the courtyard of St. John XXIII Catholic School in Kingston’s west end to lay her eggs and raise her young family - which includes 13 ducklings this year - for the first several weeks of their lives. But there comes a time when wee ducklings must be led to water and learn the ways of their species. That’s where the John XXIII students come in. Since the courtyard is enclosed by the school, the duck family must make its way through the building, across the lawn and down Mona Drive to the swampy area at Collins Bay Creek. The students form a human wall the entire way there, blocking off any potential traffic and guiding mama and babies down to the swamp. This year, the tradition took place on May 5.

From the Navy to the Bakery Until 2015, Ashley Logan was a Logistics Officer with the Canadian Navy. After over a decade of training and employment, she acquired high proficiency in a wide range of skills such as financial budgeting, supply chain management, human resources knowledge, management, food services and leadership skills.

And now, she is going to add baker, local business owner and entrepreneur to that list. Ashley Logan has opened COBS Bread at the RioCan Centre at 770 Gardiners Road in Kingston.

“What attracted me to the Navy was the idea of giving back to our country, and what attracts me to COBS is how we give back to the community,” says Logan, who when living in the city, was a loyal COBS Bread customer. “Once I moved cities, and I was no longer able to shop at the bakery, I decided that I would love to own and operate a COBS Bread in Kingston.”

Logan not only has the unwavering support of her husband and two young children, she has received support from the Canadian Franchise Association’s Military Veterans program and Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur (POE).

POE helps transitioning Canadian Armed Forces members who are interested in starting their own businesses.

COBS Bread is proud to be a national sponsor of the program that offers the education, mentoring, financing and tools they need to start and run successful businesses. “Entrepreneurship provides an attractive option for many leaving the military to build on the skills they developed in service and focus on a new mission, their own success,” says Janet McCausland, POE Program Manager. “We have seen many inspiring stores of business success, and are pleased Ashley is joining the ranks with a COBS Bread franchise.”

“Looking forward to seeing you at the bakery! We are located at 770 Gardiners Road, at the north end of the RioCan Centre.”

Ashley Logan, bakery owner

Baked Fresh, Right Here, Every Day If you have ever walked past a COBS Bread bakery, you may have noticed yourself inhaling very deeply. The air there is rich with the aroma of freshly baked bread, rolls, buns, croissants, scones, and more.

There are now 18 COBS Bread bakeries in Ontario. It is part of COBS Bread’s business model to start from scratch every single day, and at each of these bakeries you will find a dedicated team of bakers who are up wayyyy before the crack of dawn making sure you have freshly baked scones or croissants for your morning commute, and a delicious variety of rolls, buns and loaves for you to pick up on your way home.

COBS Bread’s traditional loaves contain no added preservatives, colouring, sugar or dairy. All whole wheat loaves are made with whole grain flour and the authentic sourdough is made with a natural levain starter. The French baguettes are made using a traditional recipe and take over 16 hours to make. And the Turkish… if you have never had a Turkish before, pick one up to dip into olive oil and vinegar this weekend. The variety of delicious bread that this bakery has to offer shouldn’t be surprising, but given the diverse range each bakery offers, somehow it is.

The opening of the Kingston bakery marks the 10th COBS Bread bakery to open in the last 12 months, with plans to grow at a faster rate in the coming years. “Our plans are to open two bakeries per month,” says Aaron Gillespie, President of COBS Bread. “We are looking for skilled, motivated and passionate entrepreneurs to join the COBS Bread franchise family. Working with an organization like the POE helps us find candidates that are just that and is an extension of our commitment to community involvement, which is a cornerstone of our business.”

COBS Bread also recently received the Franchisee’s Choice designation presented by Canadian Franchise Association for the sixth consecutive year, and was voted as such by their own franchisees.

Dawn House move to west Kingston causes worry among neighbours Continued from page 1

House as well as the clientele that would accompany women with these issues cause a level of uncertainness and fear and also bring calls to police, ambulance, etc.,” said Gwen Childerhose.

“We are alarmed that suddenly our peace and safety will be at great risk and an on-going source of stress and actual fear,” said Susan Doherty.

Others also object to the zoning change from commercial to residential.

“The current building was clearly intended for light commercial office use, which generally does not have traffic or activity in the evenings.

This would change if it became a multi-unit dwelling,” said Matthew Clarke.

Coun. Schell says she’s heard the criticism, but doesn’t agree with it.

“Over and over again, it is shown these are not valid fears.”

Coun. Schell, who represents group homes in Portsmouth district, predicts the Bayridge commu-

nity will eventually embrace Dawn House as responsible neighbours if rezoning is approved. “Usually it takes the event to happen, people get used to it and look at each other and say ‘I don’t know why I even thought this?’”

Some neighbours say they already support the shelter’s relocation from Victoria Street and the valuable role it has played.

“We are both retired Correctional Service of Canada executives and cannot stress enough how beneficial services such as Dawn House are, not only to the women and children on the receiving end, but to the overall community as a whole,” explained Fiona Jordan and Louis Kelly in their letter to the city.

Mara Shaw, executive director of Loving Spoonful, which has supplied fresh food to the women’s shelter, is also enthusiastic about the move to the larger location. “Dawn House is unique in Kingston. It is the only women’s shelter that is open to women facing multiple challenges over a long time. Recovery from ad-

dictions and mental illness doesn’t happen quickly and Dawn House understands that. They are open, respectful, safe and professional.”

Other residents had a chance to provide their input during the planning committee’s public meeting at city hall May 5.

Coun. Mary Rita Holland supports the relocation of Dawn House to an area with lots of amenities and bus service, but is saddened to hear about community opposition to affordable supportive housing.

“I think it’s unfortunate that there’s been any kind of backlash in the community. I think it’s a wonderful location and they should be welcomed.”

City planners and politicians are not expected to make a final decision on the application for a few more months.

Coun. Schell added: “Ninetynine percent of people in our community don’t want to cause trouble.

They just want to live somewhere.

And this housing is incredibly needed.”

Kingston’s Marine Museum not sunk yet, say councillors

By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston politicians are watching the fate of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes unfold with cautious optimism, but from the sidelines.

Many remain hopeful the museum’s board and the site’s new owner can still work out a deal to keep the museum and its retired coast guard icebreaker from being evicted in late August.

“We are certainly an interested party. We are not a direct party to the negotiations,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson.

He added: “I’m still hopeful that there’s an arrangement that can be worked out to keep the Marine Museum at its current location if not forever then at least for a longer period of time.”

Jay Patry, the Kingston developer who bought the heritage waterfront property from the federal government earlier this year – 1.5 hectares encompassing the marine museum building, 1890’s dry dock and nearby deep water wharf - has served the museum with a 120-day lease termination notice. It has to move out by Aug. 23.

This follows unproductive landlord-tenant negotiations to either have the museum pay higher rent or allow it time to purchase a portion of the Ontario Street site that it has leased since being founded in 1975.

The museum, which currently pays a token $2 a year based on its current lease arrangement, balked at paying about $200,000 in rent to the new owner, according to the chair of the board.

Mayor Paterson doesn’t see the eviction notice as definitive, and believes there is still time for the two sides to reach an agreement. “I don’t get

a signal from either party that the door is closed to further talks. Whether this was just a negotiation tactic or a method to bring some urgency to resolving those discussions, it’s unclear to me.”

Coun. Adam Candon is concerned the eviction notice puts the museum’s future in jeopardy.

“It’s a staple in Kingston. There’s a lot at risk and I think time is of the essence. Right now it feels like we’re in quicksand.”

Despite the urgent turn of events, Coun. Candon says the city did the right thing by not acting on its first option to buy the property before it was put up for sale on the open market. City staff warned the waterfront property is heavily contaminated from its industrial history as a shipyard and taxpayers could be saddled with a $19 million site remediation cost.

“The city would’ve been at risk buying a property like that. The key now is figure out how to make the most of a negative situation.”

The city doesn’t run the museum but has supported its operation with a $65,000 annual grant, while investing tens of the thousands of dollars to assist with the building and dry dock’s upkeep.

Coun. Peter Stroud says he personally met with the museum board and the developer to make the case for keeping the museum at its long-time home. “It didn’t turn out that way. We’ll have to see how things unfold but I remain at the disposal of both parties to help them work things out.”

While city councillors are relegated to the sidelines during the lease dispute, they may become involved at some point in the future once development plans are unveiled. Council has already indicated that it would consider Brownfield tax incentives for the developer on the condition

that the museum remains on the site.

“The motion is conditional on the Marine Museum being part of the plans. That’s the community benefit. That would be the incentive,” Coun.

Stroud explained.

A previous council motion also set aside $50,000 to help pay for some of the museum’s moving expenses.

Most agree that losing the attraction would be

a big blow to tourism in Kingston.

“The Marine Museum adds some real value to our community and tourism sector. Clearly we’re interested in seeing that succeed,” said the mayor.

Museum officials haven’t indicated where they might move their vast collection of maritime charts, maps and other artefacts – along with the big red boat parked out front - if forced to vacate the premises.

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means:

Funding to our health care system will increase by over $1 billion this year.

• 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

High school students to get three more years of free public transit

By Bill Hutchins

News – High school students in the Kingston area can continue to ride the busses for free for another three years.

Councillors voted unanimously to extend the complimentary Kingston Transit pilot program to all Grades 9 to 12 students in both the public and Catholic school boards until the end of the 2018/2019 school year.

And, as an added incentive, the program will be expanded to give this year’s Grade 12 graduating students an additional four months of complimentary transit access from September to December 2016.

“We are teaching a generation of people that public transit is a viable option,” said Coun. Jim Neill.

Council’s May 3 decision is contingent on both the Limestone Public and Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic School Boards providing the city with a combined annual financial contribution of $60,000 to help offset some of the lost transit revenues.

The free bus ride program isn’t free at all.

It translates into a revenue shortfall of about $250,000 a year. However, city staff say the shortfall is partially offset by a $60,000 contribution from the school boards and $100,000-$125,000 in provincial gas tax revenues. That leaves municipal taxpayers subsidizing the difference of about $65,000 to $90,000 a year.

Transportation director Sheila Kidd told council the city receives gas tax revenues based on its population and transit ridership

numbers. “Kingston is getting a little bit more every year and this (student) ridership helps.”

Councillors say providing secondary school students with unlimited free bus rides to and from school, work or afterschool activities is well worth the investment.

“It’s a wonderful long-term strategy for developing ridership among youth,” said Coun. Mary Rita Holland.

City staff say the complimentary bus pass program - launched as a pilot project in 2012 for Grade 9s, then expanded to Grade 10s in 2013, Grade 11s in 2014 and Grade 12s last year – has been wildly successfully attracting youth riders.

Transit officials reviewed a youth ridership period from September 2014 to March 2015, and compared it to statistics between Sept. 2015 and March 2016, when Grade 12 students were last to be added to the program.

During those timeframes, trips by high school students jumped from 137,578 to 299,924 – an increase of 118 per cent. Staff are projecting that total ridership for all high school students for the 2015/2016 program year will reach nearly 500,000 trips.

Coun. Neill says it’s clear the pilot program is popular. “I hope at the end of the pilot we can say this is a City of Kingston permanent program.”

But whether the free transit pass initiative becomes a mainstay of city budgets beyond 2019 will depend on the outcome

NOW SELLING

& AMMO!

of a $25,000 research project the city plans to undertake with the University of Waterloo. “This research is targeting students that have benefitted from free transit for the last four years,” Kidd explained.

She says the research will look at the long-term picture of how “the introduction of free transit influences transportation

choices when it’s not free and they’re no longer students.”

Coun. Peter Stroud, a regular transit user, predicts students will continue to ride the busses after they’ve left school given the recent service improvements.

“That’s the key … to show you can create riders.”

Refugee family welcomes first Syrian-Canadian baby born in Kingston

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

The interviews with Ayat and Turkiya Al Khalaf were made possible with the help of translator Safa Moussoud.

News - Ayat Al Khalaf is a brand new mom in a brand new country.

On Feb. 2, she arrived in Kingston nearly seven months pregnant, after fleeing her war-torn home country of Syria and subsequently spending five long years in a refugee camp in Lebanon.

On May 2, her infant son, Ahmad, was born at 3 a.m. at Kingston General Hospital. Medical staff were assisted by a translator provided by the hospital, and mother and baby are both doing well.

“It’s a very unbelievable feeling,” says Ayat of new motherhood. “I’m not very scared, I just feel very happy right now.”

She adds that she’s thrilled her son was born on Canada soil: “I have very high hopes for my son to get educated and have a very good life here in Canada.”

She says that she’s already noticed a big difference in her own quality of life over the last couple of months living in Canada.

“Before arriving here the environment wasn’t very great. In Lebanon it was very chaotic and I wasn’t really at ease. Since coming to Canada it’s got better.”

Ahmad’s arrival is in a way somewhat bittersweet, however; Ayat’s husband is still in Lebanon awaiting confirmation of his refugee status, and thus missed the birth of his first child.

“I called him to let him know,” Ayat says. “It was very sentimental. He cried a lot and he was very sad that he missed this moment.”

She remarks that her husband’s safe arrival is really the only thing she’s worried about at this time. They last saw each other several months ago when Ayat left Lebanon.

“It’s very exciting to be here and to start a new life with a newborn baby, but I can’t really think about or look forward to the future until my family is complete. That’s the only thing that I’m thinking of right now.”

Ayat’s mother, Turkiya Al Khalaf, is in Kingston, however, and was very excited to welcome Ahmed, her 11th grandchild. The first words the proud grandmother uttered when she picked up the newborn baby were reportedly “Canadian, Canadian!”

“I’m very happy and excited that he was born in Canada and I’m very grateful and honoured for the Canadian government and the Canadian people who treated us with respect and kindness,” she says.

She adds that she’s been particularly encouraged by her experience so far here in Kingston.

“Seeing the community and how supportive and helpful people are and seeing that people are happy that we are here, that makes me very happy and grateful.”

Turkiya notes that her happiness will be com- Ayat and Turkiya Al Khalaf with baby Ahmad.

City to spend $100,000 to join Kingston Pen visioning exercise

By Bill Hutchins

city would not be interested in purchasing the prison lands, with an estimated real estate value of $17 million. City Hall’s role, instead, should be focused on facilitating a “world class” development that fits in with Kingston’s waterfront vision for public access and economic development, he added.

The government will ultimately decide the terms of ownership and redevelopment when it moves to dispose of its notorious asset.

The public engagement process is expected to begin before the summer season, and then resume in the fall. “The bulk of the visioning is going to take place in the fall. We want to make sure that everybody is back from holi-

days that they’re there and can come out and provide their input and ideas,” the mayor explained.

As for what form the consultation will take, city officials say it will be broad.

“It is anticipated that there will be a number of different community engagement initiatives which may include a working group, round table discussions, stakeholder interviews, workshops, on line and social media engagement tools,” according to a report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle.

The city expects the visioning process to be completed by the spring of 2017.

News – Studying the future of Kingston Penitentiary won’t come cheap.

City council will double its financial contribution to co-sponsor an upcoming public visioning exercise with Canada Lands Company, the federal government’s real estate arm, along with Corrections Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

“The price has gone up but that’s because it’s a much bigger project than was initially envisioned.

It’s just such a complex piece of property we’re talking about,” explained Mayor Bryan Paterson.

Canada Lands Company will take the lead in the public visioning process, estimated to cost $350,000, before deciding how to repurpose the heritage property. The same process will also examine the future of nearby Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, another federally-owned property.

At their May 3 meeting, councillors agreed to spend $100,000 as their share of the consultation fees. The money will pay for a team of heritage experts to lead the community engagement process and help draft a vision of what to do with the prime waterfront property.

Mayor Bryan Paterson supports the municipal taxpayer investment, calling the revitalization of the mothballed prison a significant community project. “It’s important for Kingston that it’s done right, so I certainly support some extra funding to make sure the visioning is done properly and it gets the support of the community which, in the end, is the big thing I’d like to see.”

The city was initially planning to spend $50,000, but the price tag doubled to $100,000 due to the heritage expertise required. The extra funding will be siphoned from a city reserve fund.

The consulting team of Taylor Hazell Architect has been given the contract for the high-profile job, along with local heritage preservation consultant Andre Scheinman, whose past work on National Historic Sites includes the East Block of Parliament Hill, Fort Henry, Royal Military College, plus the Isabel Bader Performing Arts Centre and J.K. Tett Centre.

Kingston Pen is already listed as a National Historic Site.

The 178 year old maximum security institution was shuttered by the former Conservative government, and the last of the inmates were moved out in September 2013.

Late last year, the city announced a partnership with the federal owners to launch extensive public consultation on the future of the once notorious prison lands and the harbour next door. The eight-hectare former prison property on King Street West is touted as a remarkable development opportunity for residential, sport or tourism.

“The way that I like to describe this visioning is that we’re designing a box that any future development is going to have to fit into,” explained Mayor Paterson, adding the city will have control over future zoning and heritage designations.

The mayor had previously indicated the

EDITORIAL Dealing with pregnancy weight gain anxiety

I suppose it’s a testament to what an easy pregnancy I’ve had (so far, touch wood) that the most stressful part by a long shot is getting weighed at each visit to the doctor.

When I’m not pregnant, I weigh myself maybe once or twice per year, usually after a bad bout of the flu. I realize few people who look at me would see someone who is overweight, but it’s still a sensitive subject.

Growing up, I was always bigger than most other girls my age – tall and ‘big boned’, as my parents loved to put it.

During my teens and early 20s, I struggled with a variety of disordered eating patterns, which I managed to bring under control by my mid-20s by developing a passion for eating healthy, whole foods. I still wouldn’t say I love my body, but if I don’t think about it too hard I can usually feel somewhat at peace with how I look and grateful to be in good health.

The trouble is, when you’re pregnant you’re forced to think about it. Hard. All the time. Your weight and your body are under constant scrutiny by doctors and a lot of the pregnancy literature that’s out there is extremely focused on gaining ‘the right amount of weight’.

Every few days I scan the What to Expect app on my phone or click on the Baby Centre newsletter that comes to my inbox. I haven’t done any studies on it or anything, but I’d guess a good third of these articles have to do with weight gain.

How much is too much (complete with handy charts breaking down exactly how much weight you ‘should’ gain based on what you weighed pre-pregnancy); how many extra calories you should be taking in at which point in your pregnancy to make sure you gain exactly the ‘correct’ amount of weight; etc.

My personal favourite, called Dessert Eating During Pregnancy, came up on the What to Expect app a few months ago. It reads “Try not to save room for that Mississippi mud pie and instead fill up before dessert‌Your name won’t be mud if you do end up giving into the mud pie (as long as you’re not giving in every day) but you’ll feel better in the morning if you stop at a few bites before passing the dessert (and the calories) to the other end of the table.â€?

Are you kidding me? For women with histories of disordered eating (and there are a lot of us from my generation) this post is a nightmare. As is having to count calories and figure out exactly how many extra I need based on my daily activity and the amount of calories I consumed pre-pregnancy.

After gaining more weight than I would have liked during my first pregnancy, I’m already obsessed with food

and exercise this time around. I’ve given up most refined sugar, bread and pasta and go for runs at 10 p.m., after all my work (as an editor and a mama) is done for the day.

Before last week, I was actually feeling quite good about my efforts. So far my weight gain has been ‘on track’ for what it ‘should’ be at this point– maybe even slightly under. Then, at my last visit, the doctor mentioned I should “shoot for a 25 pound gain�.

She was nice about it and everything, but still all my good feelings were shot to hell when it hit me that when you enter pregnancy at a healthy weight, you’re supposed to gain between 25 and 35 pounds. She was lowballing me because I started out on the high end of the healthy range. I became very upset, which is weird because this isn’t something that should bother me. After all, I know what I weigh. I know I’m not a tiny person.

In the world of the almighty BMI, I’m grouped in with women the same height as me who weren’t “big boned� as kids.

I’ve made peace with this.

But it’s still uncomfortable to have it drilled in again and again and again, and to have your body and weight monitored to the extent that they are during pregnancy.

Let’s just say I’ll be glad when it’s all over and I can go back to my regular, numbers-free healthy lifestyle.

And wine. Let’s not forget about wine.

Are you prepared for an emergency?

Last week was Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) and with the recent wild fires in Fort McMurray, the need for emergency plans and kits were definitely emphasized.

EP Week has taken place annually, across Canada, since 1996.

Through collaboration with emergency management organizations and local emergency services, the week focuses on creating awareness and asks residents if they are ready to meet the needs of all household members, including pets, for a 72-hour period.

The week encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face emergencies.

Know the risks – these are things that many of us don’t necessarily think about on a day-to-day basis, but we should all be prepared for things like utility disruptions, extreme weather, fire, hazardous spills or even health emergencies.

Make a plan – the government of Canada encourages families to develop and practice a disaster plan with their household. Families should decide where they will gather in a disaster and identify two places, one near the home and the other outside the neighbourhood, to meet. Families should also practice using all exit routes from the house and identify special needs of members like seniors or people with disabilities.

Prepare an emergency kit – this kit should help families shelter inplace (at home) for at least 72 hours. The kit can include a variety of items specific to each family, but should include things like flashlights, batteries and chargers, a first aid kit, bottled water, cash, canned goods, an evacuation plan and more.

In addition to this kit, it is also recommended that a ‘go bag’ be ready for each individual in case a quick evacuation is necessary. The go bag can contain more personal items like toiletries, copies of important identification documents, photos and things like medication.

In addition to these actions, there are a number of resources both locally and nationally that can be accessed to help prepare yourself for an emergency. In Kingston, both the City of Kingston and the Frontenac Paramedics ran a number of awareness activities last week and both www.cityofkingston.ca and www.frontenaccounty.ca are an excellent resource to learn more. Emergency preparedness is no joke and while it may seem insignificant now, that can change very quickly.

There are still many people and families who are still without a family physician. How will further cuts affect them.?

Doctors spend many years at

school and money to obtain their degree in their profession and more if they specialize. They deserve to receive a just payment for their services.

These cutbacks and decrease in nursing staff will affect the quality of care a patient receives. Doctors and nurses really care about their patients and want them to have the

best quality service.

Letter to the editor:

New Library Code of Conduct should apply city-wide Dear Editor, I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for the Kingston Frontenac Public Library’s new Patron Code of Conduct. So strong is my endorsement that I would like to suggest a similar code be applied to all public institutions and spaces in our fair city.

Loitering is a scourge, as the Library Board has correctly identified. Any person in any public space should—as the new Code of Conduct requires—be actively engaged in the use of public services.

Consider this: on a recent visit to one of our city’s public parks, I viewed not one, but two, different individuals who were completely asleep on checkered blankets. Shockingly, even those people who were awake in the park appeared completely aimless, sitting on benches, staring at trees, listening to birds, or engaged in idle chat-chat.

This is unacceptable. In my opinion, those people should have been expelled from the park, as by their very presence they were interfering with my enjoyment of the space.

Fortunately, if we applied the Library’s new Code of Conduct to parks and other green spaces, it would be a simple matter to remove such loafers.

Green spaces should be reserved for those who are actively using park services. Anyone present in a park should demonstrate said use by maintaining a brisk walking pace and constantly commenting on relevant park-related subjects: “Oh, another squirrel,” or “my, what a pinely tree,” et cetera.

The Library would also restrict patrons from carrying an excessive number of bags. And oh! How I yearned for that limitation on a

recent outing; let me remind you that our streets and sidewalks are also public spaces, and the same Code of Conduct should apply there.

This past Sunday I walked past a mother carrying an excessive number of bags filled to the brim, no doubt, with groceries, and probably diapers and children’s drawings and who knows what else.

She took up nearly a third of the width of the sidewalk, forcing me to walk within several feet of her children. Why, I must ask, are such people allowed to have the run of our public streets? Why must they carry their many bags hither and thither?

I would never act in such a way. When my personal shopper is unavailable and I must procure my own groceries I buy—at most— an espresso and a single grape.

Dear reader, let me emphasize one final area where the Library’s Code of Conduct must rightly apply: the necessity of proper appearance.

I recently visited a friend at Kingston General Hospital after she had an unfortunate incident involving a Peruvian escritoire.

Thanks to her stylist my friend was perfectly coiffed, but the building was otherwise full of all sorts of disheveled people, moaning and demanding water or simply laying in bed doing nothing. (And do not get me started on the smells!)

The hospital should apply the Library’s new Code of Conduct post-haste, and expel those poorly-dressed layabouts so the hospi-

tal can be properly enjoyed by people who put at least some effort into their appearance.

I hope that the Mayor and Council will act swiftly to put this Code of Conduct into ef-

fect across the City.

New food bank blitz format yields disappointing results

By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – For the past 31 years the Partners in Mission Food Bank has run a door-to-door ‘blitz’ to collect food for the summer months, but this year they decided to do something different.

“We decided to change it to an at store drive and the biggest reason we did that was the logistics of doing a city wide drive with an ever increasing city size were becoming more complicated,” explained Sandy Singers, executive director of the Partners in Mission Food Bank. “We knew this at store format worked because we did it in on a smaller scale with some winter food drives and we knew it was effective so we went for it.”

The new style blitz took place on Saturday, April 30. Volunteers from RMC, high schools, businesses, Hotel Dieu and more generously came out to 10 local grocery stores across the city and manned 10 food bank trucks with a capacity to collect 90,000 pounds of food.

“We had an army of volunteers and we were so blessed to have so many people come forward,” said Singers. “Sadly, the issue for us this weekend was timing. As we were delivering the trucks on the Friday we noticed that all of the stores were incredibly busy. A couple of managers said they hadn’t seen a Friday that busy in months and my heart sank a bit at that point.”

The one day blitz collected just 22,200 pounds of food overall – a far cry from the

100,000 pound goal that was set. Singers was disappointed, but explained that the weather and payday contributed to the disappointing turnout.

“Folks knew the weather was going to be fantastic on Saturday and they got paid Friday and they went out and got their grocery shopping done early,” he said. “We were left with the second tier of shoppers for the Saturday. It was unfortunate.”

In recent years, the blitz had seen declining numbers, but they still collected around 70,000 to 75,000 pounds of food each year.

The decline showed Singers that maybe something needed to change, but he would be happy with those ‘lower’ numbers now.

“It is going to be challenging for us moving forward and obviously the food we collect now is to get us through the summer months when everyone is away,” he said.

“We are evaluating what our next steps are and we are looking at ways to improve the drive next year.”

Singers expects that maybe an evening and day combination for collection may be best going forward and looks at this year as a learning experience.

“We need to try to be a bit more strategic Food Bank executive director Sandy Singers. Photo/Hollie Pratt-Campbell and understanding of when people are shopping,” he said. need to be thanked for that,” he said. “All and Singers encourages community members While the numbers were disappointing to the volunteers too, we know that moving to fill the bins or give financially if they can. overall, Singers is grateful for the volunteers forward we can call on these folks to help “Every little bit helps and we are grateful who came out for the day and to the commu- and they will be there, we are so grateful for for all the community support we receive.” nity members who gave generously. that.”

Warm feelings turn to community outrage after perceived about-face by Library Board Chair Aric McBay

There were a lot of happy faces in the room after the Library Board voted to defer a widelyopposed new Code of Conduct during a packed community meeting on Wednesday, April 27. But those good feelings have turned to deep concern in the days since, as Library Board Chair Claudette Richardson seemed to abandon promises of meaningful consultation.

Kingston Frontenac Public Library’s new Code of Conduct has received national media attention and controversy over concerns that it would exclude marginalized people, especially the homeless. The Kingston community voiced those concerns strongly at last Wednesday’s Library Board meeting, where over a hundred members of the

public—including small business owners, professors, community service providers, and regular library patrons—joined to condemn the proposed changes.

But after the meeting had ended, Library Board Chair Richardson gave an interview to the Whig-Standard in which she appeared to dismiss the community concerns. “Frankly, the intent of the code of conduct as it was crafted will not change,” Richardson said, adding that the words “everyone is welcome” would not be put back into the Code of Conduct.

During the packed meeting Richardson temporarily abandoned her role as chair and left the room to give a media interview. As a result, she missed hearing most of the community presentations and the Board’s own discussion on Council-

lor Jim Neill’s motion to shelf the unpopular new Code of Conduct.

Many community members were displeased

by Richardson’s behaviour during and after the

meeting. The group Libraries are for Everyone Continued on page 13

Backyard entertaining

(NC) Warmer weather means making the most of your backyard space. And dining is a simple way to extend your time outdoors. Whether it’s enjoying everyday meals, hosting an intimate dinner party or welcoming larger groups for a barbecue, there are a few things to consider when purchasing patio-dining furniture.

Conversation sets These are becoming increasingly popular to provide comfortable seating which replicates the living room. They provide a great space to sit back, put your feet up and enjoy a good book in the afternoon and provide the optimal area to linger long after a meal is done. For less formal gatherings, food stations can be set up, buffet style around the perimeter of the set. This allows guest to easily move around and talk to different people while they make their plates of food. Look for a conversation set with matching side and coffee tables so guests have a place to rest plates of food and glasses.

Dining sets When it’s warm out, why

not take your meal outside?

Whether prepared indoors or on the grill, outdoor dining sets are great for enjoying any meal.

You can bring indoor elegance outside with decorative table linens, candles and colourful tableware. Great for smaller, more intimate dinner parties as well, food can be plated or served family style allowing your guests to remain at the table and lose track of time as they eat.

Flexibility If you can’t decide between an intimate dining set or a casual conversation set, or if you just want the best of both worlds but don’t have the space, look for a conversation/ dining combination. Lowe’s offers the new Prescott dining set which includes a table, a sofa, two end chairs and two stools that can be used for seating or foot rests.

Whichever set you choose, you may also want to consider the ease of adding additional seating like matching chairs or benches for when you have a larger group. Stools are great as extra seating or end tables.

Warm feelings turn to community outrage after perceived about-face by Library Board Chair Continued from page 11

posted a statement “to condemn in the strongest terms possible” Richardson’s comments after the meeting, and asked for a prompt response and clarification from the Library as to whether Richardson was speaking for the whole Board.

A statement from the Library on Friday afternoon reiterated the Board’s intent to consult, but did not clarify or retract Richardson’s comments.

Matt Silburn, who gave a community presentation at the meeting, asked what the point of consultation was if the Board had no intent of listening: “I question the ability of Ms. Richardson and her supporters to function effectively on the Board when they are so out of touch with the community. They seem indifferent to widespread public outrage and the vision of the library that was expressed clearly at the meeting Wednesday night.”

The Reverend Wendy Luella Perkins was also concerned, saying: “We’ve seen inspiring comments and delegations and presentations from community members and community organizations that clearly show the public’s disapproval of the proposed new Code of Conduct. The Board Chair’s response in the media was bewildering and deeply troubling to me. This to me indicates deeper problems at the library than just the Code of Conduct issue.”

The Reverend added: “But I feel very hopeful that these problems are information that we can use to build health and vitality, inclusion and antioppression for patrons and staff in the library. This is an opportunity for community engagement. I trust that the majority of the Board will seize this opportunity.”

When approached by The Heritage, Richardson said that she stands by the comments she made in the Whig-Standard, in that the intent of the Code of Conduct as it was crafted will not change.

“Our intent is unchanged: to provide staff the tools and clearer guidelines so they can better maintain a safe space and serve people, especially those in crisis. I also believe the community reaction expressed so quickly and by so many speaks to the high regard that the public library is held in Kingston-Frontenac, as a service and as public space.”

She added that the majority of the comments spoke to how much patrons value the library not only for themselves and their families, but also for all the other members of our community.

“These values are completely in line with those of the Public Library, and each member of its staff and its board.”

When asked about leaving the meeting to give a CBC interview, Richardson said she did not intend to be absent and had expected the presentation to

be over by the time of the 5:15 interview: “Delegations are generally given 10-15 minutes; this one started later than anticipated, and we chose (at the meeting) to allow other questions and comments from the interested public, thus it went well over the time anticipated.”

Richardson noted that this has been a particularly stressful and difficult time for KFPL staff and its patrons.

“KFPL and its staff has provided excellent, compassionate and life-changing help to its patrons for decades, and the patrons have been served with dignity, kindness and a genuine interest in facilitating access to resources in support of personal enrichment, life-long learning and community interaction, in person or in virtual space,” she said, adding “I regret any anxiety, confusion or discomfort that this may have caused.”

In an interview on Friday, Mayor Bryan Paterson called the community concerns “legitimate.”

“You want to make sure you address those issues in a way that is still inclusive, so that everybody can still feel welcome in a library.”

However, the Mayor stopped short of promising intervention from City Hall before the library did its own due diligence, saying the the Library Board was an arm’s-length body.

“Councillor [Jim] Neill is our

Council representative, and I think that he has been doing a good job of communicating Council’s concerns and priorities at the Library Board table,” Paterson said.

However, questions have been raised about KFPL’s governance structure, oversight, and community accountability. “We can’t go back to business as usual,” community member Matthew Gventer said on Wednesday. “You look at this room and see so many people who are appalled at what happened.

We have to ask: how did that happen?”

Gventer said the governance model of the library had to change.

The Library Board also voted 6-4 to keep Library administrator salaries off the sunshine list, despite a motion for transparency from Jim Neill.

Library Board members are appointed by the municipality and serve 4-year terms that match the sitting City Council, meaning the current Board will serve until 2018. The Library Board Chair is elected annually, typically in December. Ms. Richardson has served as Chair since 2007.

Many city committees have a term limit of six years, but KFPL has no such limits.

Veterans, PTSD sufferers find community in cannabis at Marijuana for Trauma

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

News - For Mike Collins, medical cannabis has been a life-changer.

“Like my t-shirt says, ‘plants not pills’,” he says. “I really believe in that.”

The 14-year Canadian Forces veteran medicates with several different kinds of cannabis, including a topical cream he makes himself, which allows him to relieve the arthritis pain caused by injuries he sustained while serving, and two different kinds of cannabis – one for daytime, one for night, that help him manage chronic pain, anxiety, nightmares, night sweats and more.

“Medical cannabis saved my marriage,” he remarks. “There’s no other way to put it.”

And, he says, he’s not alone.

“I’ve watched people who used to be shut-ins get off the pharmaceuticals, switch to medical cannabis and now they’re taking their kids to the hockey games, they’re they’re out shopping with their wives, they’re out doing family vacations again.”

As the IC (“In Charge”) of the new Marijuana for Trauma centre in Kings-

ton, Collins hopes to help other veterans, as well as an increasing number of first responders and other front line workers suffering from PTSD or related illnesses, find a similar path. Marijuana for Trauma Kingston opened May 2 at 496 Discovery Avenue, Unit 9.

The national company began in New Brunswick in 2013 and has quickly expanded throughout Canada; their motto, ‘Veterans Helping Veterans’, speaks for itself. MFT is not a dispensary, and focuses primarily on providing assistance a sense of community for veterans and other community members who medicate with cannabis.

“Marijuana is surprisingly about 10 per cent of what we actually do,” says Andrew Brown, co-founder and vice president of MFT Ontario.

The organization offers clients assistance in obtaining and using medical cannabis, as well help navigating veterans’ affairs paperwork and programs; the centres also host occupational therapy, yoga, meditation, art and music therapy and ever-popular peer nights, where clients get together to connect and share stories.

“The community aspect of it is amaz-

ing,” Brown says of the peer nights.

“We haven’t seen this many veterans in a room since we were overseas. If you take a look at our patient roster we probably have people who have been deployed on every overseas operation since the Second World War – including, actually, the Second World War. It’s incredible.”

Collins says he made 64 new friends at his first peer support night.

“I can’t even count the number of hugs that I got, and I was the new Mike Collins, “IC” of Kingston’s new Marijuana for Trauma centre. Photo/Hollie Prattguy. I didn’t know a soul there.

Collins looks forward to working with the community to help others who are struggling turn their lives around.

Racing legend Mario Andretti visits Kingston over the years.

“Luckily I got a seat with one of the big three teams (early on),” he recounted. “They hired me because their main driver got hurt, and that’s the way it worked in those days, the new guy got a chance when the main guy got hurt. What worked for me was that the veterans are usually set in their ways…and the engineers liked the fresh input that I was giving them, and I was giving them a lot of input, so they kept me on.”

“Nowadays, a lot of those things are done on the computer, with technology, and the engineers

Hundreds of Kingstonians were awestruck throughout the morning of Thursday, May 5 at Fielding’s Tire on Princess Street as racing legend Mario Andretti visited the city.

Andretti spent the entire morning speaking with fans and autographing everything from hats, sports cards and books to vehicle fenders that people brought in.

He reminisced about his humble beginnings on the racing scene and how the sport has changed

of today know exactly what’s going on with the car from their laptop.”

He also spent some time talking to the crowd about driving safety. Despite his driving prowess, Andretti leaves aggressive driving on the racetrack. In fact, he confirmed that hasn’t received a speeding ticket since 1968, and not just because he would uniquely be able to answer in the affirmative should a traffic enforcement officer ask: “Who do you think you are, Mario Andretti?”

While admitting that he might not always be 100 per cent faithful to the speed limit, he acknowledged that everyone, including himself, has limitations and that the law is there for a good reason. “I don’t reckless drive, that’s one thing I would not do, you know, weaving in and out and endangering people.”

Though his visit was short-lived (he had arrived from Indianapolis the previous night and would be heading to Simcoe the next day) the

star spoke favourably of the response he’d already received from local fans. “The people of Kingston have been great to me, and Canadians in general are just so friendly, there’s something about them…So many race fans, a lot of knowledge of our sport, a lot of interest, and I feel it (when visiting).”

Andretti was grateful also for the entire city’s hospitality, and in particular to the effort that Fielding’s Tire put towards organizing the event.

“I love to visit when there are generations involved in the business,” he said. “I sort of identify with that in what I have in my family, you know, in continuing in the sport. That’s something that we have in common.”

Andretti’s promotional team spoke warmly of the Kingston reception as well, enthusing that this visit was the best-attended event they’ve had so far in Canada. Indeed, Andretti left the city with everyone looking forward to his speedy return.

Practice makes artists according to portrait and figure artists group

By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Local artist, Joanne Gervais, has been a professional artist for nearly 20 years.

She started by taking courses and developing her skills, but when the classes were done, she was surprised that there was nothing to help her continue her development as an artist. “I remember joining an artists group but the leader wasn’t very encouraging,� she explained. “We would hang all of our work up to look at it and one day I couldn’t tell which one I did, they all looked the same. I was frustrated, so I decided to start my own group.�

Gervais did just that and it has been running successfully ever since. At first the group found it hard to find a location to meet each week, but after a lot of moving around, Gervais simply invited people into her own home. “It is a casual environment, but we also help each other learn a lot,� she said. “It is

exercise for the artist basically.�

Gervais compares her classes to athletes practicing at a gym and explains that there aren’t many groups in the area that provide that service to artists. “Artists come here and apply the skills they have learned and develop further. We are more like an apprenticeship group and we teach each other,� she said. “We encourage everyone to develop his or her own style.

Everyone needs to develop the basic skills, but in the end they need to develop their own style too and that is what this group is good for.�

The group, which usually consists of about 10 to 12 artists, comes together every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Glenburnie.

The sessions usually consist of a small lesson, a short posing session with a model and then a longer posing session with a model.

Breaks are also mixed into the morning and Gervais welcomes artists with a variety of skill levels to come out.

Photo/Mandy Marciniak “The beginners find it a bit challenging at first because they want to be doing what the experienced artists are doing, but if they stick with it, they make a lot of progress,� she said. “It is a great learning experience for any artist.�

Robyn Johnson has been a member of the group almost since the beginning. She studied fine arts at Queen’s, but like Gervais, she found that there was nothing to help her keep her arts skills going. “You have to keep your skills going and if you don’t then you lose them,� said Johnson. “These sessions are great and Joanne is great at finding a variety of models. The model could be a musician with a guitar or could be a classic draped model or a street person and you need to figure out how to capture that model. It is always challenging.�

Johnson also enjoys the fact that the group is separate from her everyday life and all the

things that prevent her from doing art. “It is hard when you get home and the chores need to be done and you have no time,� she said. “This group takes you out of that and you can just immerse yourself in the art and forget the rest.�

For Gervais, the end result of the sessions is always the best part, especially when she sees the look on the artist’s face. “You can see on their faces that they are proud of their work and they are getting it.

That is so rewarding,� she said. “I think the group really serves a purpose in the artists community and we are always welcoming.�

The Kingston Portrait and Figure Artists Group is always looking for new members and willing models. Cost is $125 per 10 sessions and they run all year round. For more information visit www.joannegervais.com call 613-542-8451 or look for Gervais on Facebook.

Pet first aid course to support Humane Society

By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Events – First aid training is always important.

Knowing how to perform CPR on a family member or properly bandage a bad cut can be life saving, but what about if something happens to the furry members of your family?

That is where Dr. Joelle Ouellett from the Princess Animal Hospital comes in. For the past four years, Ouellett has been working with the Humane Society in Kingston to teach pet owners about first aid for animals. “It is kind of like a crash course for animal first aid,� explained Ouelett. “It is condensed and designed to give pet owners an idea of the things they can do in emergency situations to help their animal.�

This year the course takes place on Sunday, May 15, and will focus mainly on first aid for dogs, but

some of the skills learned can be applied to cats and smaller animals. Ouelett will also be joined by Dr. Daniel Cudle from the Downtown Animal Hospital who will also focus more on first aid for pocket pets. “He has a bit more experience with pocket pets so we have added a bit about rats, bunnies, hamsters and guinea pigs and a bit on birds too,� said Ouelett. “It is kind of a comprehensive session.�

This year marks the fifth year that the Humane Society has offered these sessions. They began after vets in the area saw a need for simple animal first aid training in their offices. “The goal is to provide information and some knowledge to pet owners. It can be something as simple as how to approach a dog that is in pain and how to protect yourself so the dog doesn’t bite you,� said Ouelett. “We also give tips on how to transport an injured dog to the veterinarian without injuring them further or how to bandage a deep laceration

The course is three hours long and runs in an informal way with an information session in the first half and then hands-on training in the second half. “We also invite questions throughout,� said Ouelett. “We want pet owners to get as much as they can out of the session.�

At the end of the session, each participant goes home with a starter first aid kit for their pets complete with things like tick twisters, ointments, bandages and eye cleansing solution. Ouelett and Cudle will also offer suggestions on things to add to the kit. “They can add things like Benadryl for allergic reactions, a list of emergency numbers and stuff that is easy to put together and easy to access in a time of need,� said Ouelett.

The course costs $50 for participants, but all of that fee, minus the cost for the first aid kits, goes back to the Humane Society to help support the work they do. “Many animals come to the humane society and

need additional care and medications or grooming,� explained Sharon McGrath, fundraising and communication coordinator at the Kingston Humane Society. “All of our animals are adopted out spayed or neutered so there is a cost associated with that and on average, an animal at the humane society will cost about $500 while it is in our care.

This money goes a long way to help with that.�

Feedback for the first aid course has been great in past years and in some years a second class had to be offered to meet demand. Ouelett hopes this year is also successful. “People really enjoy that it is a comfortable environment and we discuss with them and it isn’t just a stuffy classroom,� she said. “I think it makes the pet owners feel really empowered.�

The Humane Society animal first aid course takes place on Sunday May 15, at the Ongwanada Auditorium from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Registration is required and those interested are asked to visit the Humane Society or call them at 613-546-1291 ext. 102.

Every day that I awaken, I give thanks. It’s no one’s right to wake up.

No one knows when their life will reach its end.

I’m not morbid, just realistic. More than a few years back, I was given six months to live. Needless to say, I beat the odds. I’m truly thankful.

The grim reaper’s name in my case?

Cancer. Kind of like Voldemoort in Harry Potter. People don’t like to utter the name, lest we invite that harbinger of death through our doors.

I outlasted cancer. By years.

Truly, each day that I awaken, I am thankful.

Being thankful has a number of positive effects. Compared to griping, gratitude improves both our physical and emotional well-being.

Too often the only time people remember to give thanks is around Thanksgiving Day. Why not every day? Before meals in our home, everyone at the table is expected to give thanks. Each person says something they are thankful for. It may be as simple as, “I’m thankful for this meal” or “I’m thankful for my family” or it might be something more specific like, “I’m thankful to have been accepted at such and such a college or university.” It’s always been that way. We give thanks. In our home, in this country, in the western world we have so much for which to give thanks.

What happens when we are grateful?

According to the University of California’s Dr. Robert Emmons, one of the world’s leading experts on gratitude, we should even be thankful for the many benefits of gratitude.

One of the ways Dr. Emmons recommends to foster a sense of gratitude is to be watchful of our words, our

language. He explains that grateful people have a particular way of speaking that includes the concepts of gifts, givers, blessings, blessed, fortune, fortunate, and abundance.

He also recommends not focusing on how good you are, but to look at all the good things that others have done on your behalf.

Constantly remind yourself of the good things in your life: people, events, things. You may do that through a gratitude journal, but I prefer to just regularly remind myself of things for which I am grateful.

I was recently caught off guard by my entire family getting together, with me suspecting nothing, for my birthday. I had no idea until I walked into a restaurant and there they all were. The whole horde (family members come in hordes) sitting there smiling, and I realized I’d been had. Totally surprised, thankful beyond words at the efforts people went to in arranging to come from out of town for this lovely surprise. For such a thoughtful family, I give thanks daily.

What happens to the body, especially the brain, when we are grateful?

In thanks According to Dr. Emmons, there are many benefits to developing an attitude of gratitude. This doesn’t mean occasionally being grateful for something. It’s about developing a whole attitude of gratitude and a positive psychology toward life. This kind of attitude leads to the development of a stronger immune systems, feeling less pain, lowering of blood pressure, getting better sleep, and experiencing more joy in life, feeling less loneliness and isolation.

When we practise gratitude, we acknowledge that there is goodness in the world, and we accept that goodness comes to us from others. We recognize that other people, or even higher powers, give us gifts.

Being grateful does not mean that life has no knocks, no pain, no illness.

Being grateful allows us to develop a resilience to recover from bad times.

Living with a focus on gratitude would certainly help counter the whole culture of entitlement.

It’s interesting how far ranging the effects an attitude of gratitude are.

Research finds that grateful people also develop self-protective physical

and psychological approaches to life, they take part in more physical exercise, eat healthier food and generally take better care of themselves.

Keeping a daily journal of things you feel grateful for has some powerful effects.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland has conducted Continued on page 22

Maintaining an attitude of gratitude has been shown to improve both physical and psychological health. Photo/Mark Bergin

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter.

Dopamine creates a positive cycle. When you are grateful, dopamine is released in your body.

You feel good, and want to do more of the thing that made you feel good in the first place. It’s the opposite of a vicious cycle. Call it a kindness cycle, if you will.

Financial wealth is not correlated to an attitude of gratitude.

In fact, in many way, the more possessions people have, the less grateful they become; the more they think they deserve; the more they are envious of others who have more than them.

Gratitude leads to a whole new mindset.

If you feel caught in a nasty cycle of negativity, make a conscious decision to avoid negative people. Stop making negative comments yourself. Start a daily gratitude journal. It doesn’t take hours of work, it simply requires you to focus on the positive. Start with baby steps.

See what happens to your life. Watch the cycle morph from gripe to joy.

In an article called Why Gratitude is Good, published by University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Robert Emmons notes that gratitude has two components. “[Gratitude] is an affirmation of goodness.

We affirm that there are good things in the world, gifts and benefits we’ve received. This doesn’t mean that life is perfect; it doesn’t ig-

nore complaints, burdens, and hassles. But when we look at life as a whole, gratitude encourages us to identify some amount of goodness in our lives.”

Emmons also points out that gratitude helps to strengthen relationships.

“We recognize the sources of this goodness as being outside of ourselves. It didn’t stem from anything we necessarily did ourselves in which we might take pride. We can appreciate positive traits in ourselves, but I think true gratitude involves a humble dependence on others: We acknowledge that other people—or even higher powers, if you’re of a spiritual mindset—gave us many gifts, big and small, to help us achieve the goodness in our lives.”

Those are powerful observations about how something as simple as an attitude of gratefulness can have life-changing effects. It’s something worth trying for two or three months to see what will happen within your life when you change your own attitude and stop worrying about the attitudes of others.

A fascinating study described by Dr. Emmons in his book Thanks!: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier, involved three groups, each keeping journals.

One group of participants wrote five things each week for which they felt grateful. Participants in a second group wrote about five daily hassles. In the third group, participants simply wrote about things that had affected them. Over time, those participants from the gratitude group developed fewer health problems than those COACH & TOURS from the other two groups.

We choose how to approach the world. We can do it by griping about all the things that go wrong in our lives, or we can choose to give thanks EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO for the good things in our lives.

Driver wants true hands free connectivity “Hi Brian, I don’t know if you’re able to help but I’m banging my head at this point and I don’t know what else to do. Basically, I leased a new 2015 Honda Civic, and it doesn’t work like the 2014 or the 2016 does in terms of Bluetooth calling (cell phone connectivity). The problem as far as I can see, is that it doesn’t like any phone manufactured after 2012 or so, and in a 2015 car that’s ridiculous.

See, when I drive my fiance’s 2014 Civic, and you tell it to call Bob, it calls Bob right off the bat.

Not so in the 2015, and I’ve tried it with voice tags, with different people doing it, I tried it in an iPhone 5s and later when they told me it was my phone and not the car, I went to Rogers to get a new phone, a galaxy s7, and it doesn’t work either. Call Bob works on an iPhone 4 and a galaxy s5, but not a single phone made after 2012. What it does instead is bring up Bob’s contact info, and you then have to press on the screen to call, which defeats the purpose of hands free calling, and is an extra step that

you shouldn’t have to take. As it is my first car and still getting used to driving full time, hands-free calling is a big deal as I try not to take my eyes off the road. I won’t even look at my phone when I get a text.

I’ve gone to two different dealerships and spent seven hours combined trying to get them to address this, and time on the phone with Honda Canada and it comes down to it does what it’s supposed to do; you just have to take the extra step to push the name on the screen. In my opinion, that’s not hands free, and it doesn’t do what it does on the 2014 or 2016.

At the end of the day though, I just want my stupid car to work like it’s supposed to, and if it doesn’t for them to fix it or give me a new one, and they don’t want to do either.

SL Our reader got in touch with Honda Canada on more than one occasion and I emailed his concerns to their head office. While this might seem to some to be a firstworld problem, we all want safer roads and good working and well integrated cell phone/vehicle links are critical to that end. And whether you agree or not, a large percentage of us are becoming more and more reliant on wireless communication and information services with the vast majority of this group upgrading to new, more advanced

phones every two or three years or less. Our reader indicated to me he would consider upgrading his Civic to a 2016 model for improved and safer functionality, regardless of the costs.

My questions to Honda were simple; did our reader accurately assess their response to the concerns? Does the 2015 Civic have these problems functioning with the phones mentioned? With consumers relying more and more on their communication devices and with large numbers of them switching to upgraded mode on a regular basis, isn’t is reasonable for them to expect that the number one selling car in Canada can keep up with these changes? And finally I supplied a list of the top five smart phones sold in Canada and asked if the 2015 Civic could offer full functional connectivity and interface with them.

This was the response I got; ”Thank you for contacting Honda Canada. Honda has reviewed the customer’s concerns and although there may be differences between the Bluetooth hands-free interfaces across model years, we do not believe there is any product defect associated with the link in the customer’s 2015 Honda Civic. As phones and their technology evolve, Honda is committed providing a seamless phone-to-vehicle integration.

and a search function of compatible phones are available at www. honda.ca/bluetooth. Please note that the list of phones shown on the website have been tested. Phones are not listed on the website may be in the testing phase. The site will be updated as additional phone confirmation results become available.”

Regards, Maki Inoue Supervisor, Public Relations & Shows - Auto Honda Canada Inc. Honda certainly isn’t alone with these issues and many consumers have had to switch cell phones when they purchased or leased a new vehicle to get the interactivity they want and/or need. My advice would be that anyone shopping for a new vehicle takes their current phone to the dealership to fully connect it to test its compatibility with the product(s) they’re interested in.

Download your phone-book and check how easy it is to make handsfree calls. Have someone call you to learn how to answer and to find out how audible incoming and outgoing transmissions really are. If you’re worried about leaving a ton of personal information in a vehicle that’s not yours, you can always delete your phone and its downloaded data from the vehicle at the end of the demo drive. By the way, none

of the phones on Canada’s top-5 list for 2016 were listed on Honda’s Bluetooth website and neither was any model year of Civic past 2015.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Wolfe Island battles european water chestnut News- Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC)) and a number of Wolfe Island volunteers have been waging a battle with a European Water Chestnut invasion of Wolfe Island’s Upper West, Upper East and Lower Bayfield Bay and Button Bay water surfaces, where colonies of the species have been found.

DUC has taken the lead in locating, monitoring and controlling the invasive European Water Chestnut. This species is described as “ an aggressive, annual aquatic plant, visible as thick, floating mats of vegetation

that shade out native plant life, choking out the life of wetlands and shallow bays, preventing the growth of native plants beneath and limiting the different bays ability to support water fowl and wildlife, as well as affecting recreational activities.”

Recently DUC’s European Water Chestnut Coordinator, Conservation Technician Justin White conducted a workshop on Wolfe Island to update the community on efforts to control and eradicate the island outbreaks and to offer insights into how we all can help reduce this invasive species. He was accompanied by DUC’s Erling Armson.

“Justin presented a very informative and compelling presentation,” according to Frontenac Islands Administrative Assistant Theresa Quist. It was particularly compelling at this time of year as the migrating ducks and geese and fish continue their spring time arrival across the lake to the island.

The European Water Chestnut has an unusual appearance. The floating leaves are green, sharply-toothed and appear in May/ June. The seeds (viable up to 10-12 years) are very sharp and nasty! (according to the presentation), free floating or washed ashore, their barbed spines can cause injury to boaters, cottagers, pets, hunters, swimmers etc. The decomposing vegetation, and lower oxygen levels reduce the water’s productivity and its value to waterfowl, fish and other wildlife which directly affects the water fowling and angling, as well as the recreational users of Wolfe Island. all of which in turn impacts the local economy.

During a question period, information from an island resident (who takes her boat out regularly) that she has seen European Water Chestnut on the west side of Brown’s Bay was much appreciated by DUC’s White and will be followed up. Jim Vanden Hoek was looking for more information about the removal and handling of the invasive plant.

As stated, DUC’s Wolfe Island efforts are focused on the two main areas of the invasion- the Monitoring and Controlling of Bayfield Bay and Button Bay so this invasive plant does not impact the waters physical, biological or economic benefits , according to DUC Coordinator White. Also noted during the evening were DUC’s further effort s to control the plant through a number of initiatives. One, considered the most effective, is to prevent seed production of the plants, and to manually remove the plants using boats/canoes on a daily basis and physically pulling them from the water along with their roots for their proper disposal. (Fragments stuck to a boat /animal if transported elsewhere, may re-root.) Other initiatives included public outreach to the Wolfe Island community by open houses, newsletters, and engaging volunteers. Very important was Increasing surveillance and monitoring of water chestnut at numerous locations on Wolfe Island and the surrounding area. and finally, curriculum based education for local school field trips on Inva-

sive Species & the European Water Chestnut Program for island youngsters.

DUC’s efforts to monitor and control the invasive plant numbers on Wolfe Island thus far have been positive with a 30 percent reduction of the European Water Chestnut on Bayfield Bay and a 40 percent reduction on Button Bay in 2015. But regular annual funding to continue with the 2016 spring program on Wolfe Island is not guaranteed as yet, but is needed Now. DUC needs the financial support of all who share a love of the waterfowl, the wetlands and the environment, all very much at risk if the European Water Chestnut and/or other invasive species programs are discontinued.

The surrounding areas are at risk if action is not continued. According to DUC, Wolfe Island is not alone with this problem. European Water Chestnut is invading many of Canada’s Lakes… Take a Look as you travel.

pretty excited when I heard they were making a movie. Needless to say they did not disappoint.

Keegan-Michael Key has such incredible expression, and an uncanny ability to flip from suburban speak to street speak, Jordan Peel has wicked delivery, and drops some of the funniest lines to grace any action or comedy movie.

When they’re together they know no bounds and know no limits.

Key and Peele take up most of the screen time, but they also surround themselves with a great supporting cast. Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Will Forte, Nia Long, and Luis Guzman all commit, and are fantastic.

Keanu isn’t just a great comedy. They pull out all the stops to make a wicked action movie. Gun fights, car chases, back flips, you name it they did it, and they did it with style. A definite must-see.

By Mark Haskins

Keanu is the story of what one man and his cousin are willing to do to rescue a kitten that’s been stolen by drug dealers. Seriously, that’s what Keanu is about. It’s absurd, but it totally works.

We open on a church taken over by a gang using it to make and sell drugs. In walk two obviously dangerous individuals who begin shooting everyone. It’s a stunning action scene akin to something out of The Matrix or Hard Boiled. In the midst of it all is a small kitten who escapes the carnage.

Looking for a home the kitten finds himself on the doorstep of Rell (Jordan Peele). Having recently been dumped by his girlfriend Rell immediately takes in the small animal, and names him Keanu. Not long after his cousin and best friend Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) comes over to commiserate, and take Rell out for a movie.

When they get back Rell’s place has been trashed, and Keanu is missing.

The police come, but offer little help.

Rell goes next door to his neighbour and dealer Hulka (Will Forte) to see if he knows anything. It turns out a street gang looking for Hulka might have mixed up the address.

There’s no way Rell is going to leave Keanu in the hands of drug dealers. So logically Rell and Clarence, two unassuming middle class guys, decide to infiltrate a hard core street gang to save a kitten. Ya, that makes sense.

The absurdity of Keanu is mind blowing. If you saw the idea on paper there’s no way you would make this into a feature film. Yet this is one of the funniest action-comedies I’ve seen. These BEAT RELOCATION STRESS! guys can draw you right in to whatever they’re doing.

Some thoughts, prayers and reminiscences as Fort McMurray burns

Column — As of this writing, it’s near impossible to keep up with the quantitative numbers regarding the devastation being caused by the raging inferno enveloping Fort McMurray, Alberta.

But in three days, more than

1,600 homes have been destroyed along with numerous other buildings — businesses, storage facilities, schools, rec centres.

Now, the city itself is/was home to about 60,000 people, the vast majority of whom either work at or provide service industries to the oilsands plants that procure and process the bitumen that permeates most of the ‘rock’ in the area.

‘Rock’ is a bit of a misnomer.

Think of sand being held together by gooey tar. That’s what passes for rock in this part of the world.

In truth, if you break open a rock from a stream bank and put an open flame to it, it will spark.

I lived in Fort McMurray for 2 ½ years in the mid-’80s as a reporter and editor at Fort McMurray Today newspaper and have many fond memories, baseball, jamming, grayling fishing and moose hunting in particular.

Fort McMurray is a unique place for many reasons.

First of all, there are the oilsands, a geological formation that doesn’t occur too many places in this world. Given humanity’s appetite for oil, it’s no surprise that getting at that resource is the reason there are 60,000 people living there.

There’s a lot

hospitals, some amazing schools, you name it) you’d expect to find in a city of that size. More amenities actually because the oilsands companies like to keep their employees happy.

There’s a concept quite unique to Fort McMurray called ‘golden handcuffs.’ This refers to the fact that many people come there because of the excellent wages intending to make some cash and leave. But they get used to making that much money and are thus ‘handcuffed’ to the place.

To think of this place in the clutches of a raging wildfire presents a very surreal image.

You know, we used to joke that if a big fire got started, we’d all be toast because of the vast bush and distance from major help.

Hang in there McMurray, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

And the vast majority of those people come from the rest of the country, in particular from the Maritimes. The old joke was that ‘Fort McMurray is the second largest city in Newfoundland’ and the annual lobster supper was an event not to be missed.

Another thing most people don’t realize at how isolated Fort McMurray is.

Yes, it’s a city of 60,000 but it’s smack dab in the middle of nowhere. It’s 450 kilometres north of Edmonton and yes, there is only one road in and out of it (and one rather modern airport). If you’re driving from Edmonton, the only comfort stops are at Grasslands and Wandering River. Otherwise, it’s bush all the way.

teamed with the late Duke Snider, a Hall of Fame player with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Van Horne’s famous home run cry “up, up and away” is one of his trademarks. Snider’s knowledge of the game and his incredibly interesting array of baseball stories made him second to none in terms of colour broadcasters. The word “colourful” only begins to describe Snider, someone I was fortunate enough to meet in person.

One story of his that stands out in my mind came from 1963 when, in the twilight of his career, Snider

played one season for the New York Mets.

During an Expos’ game Snider told his radio audience (including me) what it was like to play at Colt Stadium in Houston. The facility served as the temporary home of the former Houston Colt 45s (now Houston Astros) from 1962-1964.

Colt Stadium was only used for three seasons. It was demolished in the 1970s when the ball club moved into the Astrodome.

Carey passed away April 12 as a result of pulmonary and heart problems in Rochester, Michigan (a Detroit suburb). He was 88.

From 1973-1991 he and Harwell comprised the best baseball broadcast team I have heard in a lifetime of following the game.

They were behind the microphones during Tigers’ last World Series championship season in 1984.

In a statement Detroit management said Carey was “the consummate professional who had one of the most distinctive and classic broadcast voices.”

I don’t take anything away from Tigers’ current broadcast crew of play-by-play man Dan Dickerson and colour man Jim Price (a former Detroit catcher). I always enjoy listening to them.

It was Dickerson who said it best in the wake of Carey’s recent passing. He told the Detroit Free Press, “Ernie and Paul were such a great team. They called a really good game.

“I grew up listening to those guys. He (Carey) had a powerful voice that kind of sucked you into the radio.”

Scully is undoubtedly one of the greatest radio broadcasters in baseball history. He, along with San Francisco Giants’ play-by-play man Jon Miller are current baseball broadcast legends.

One of my favourite play-byplay announcers is former Montreal Expos’ radio voice Dave Van Horne.

He called Expos’ games from the team’s inception in 1969 until 2001, a period of 32 years. When the fast fading team failed to seal a radio deal for the 2001 campaign, Van Horne left to take on the same role with the Florida Marlins. At age 76 he continues to be the lead radio announcer for the now Miami Marlins.

For 14 years Van Horne was

If you are a baseball fan the best way to enjoy a game is to watch it in person. Television isn’t a bad alternative, especially with all the replays.

It is radio that’s been the mainstay for Major League Baseball (MLB) fans for nearly a century however.

Despite the wide array of games available on television many diehard fans will tell you they like radio games.

I’m not sure I prefer radio games, but I certainly enjoy them. I also have satellite radio in the car which means I can follow my favourite teams whenever they are playing, wherever I am. Admittedly my wife has a slightly different view!

It takes a particular talent to make any radio sports broadcast interesting. This is where the role of the so-called “colour person” (today they could be male or female) assumes added importance.

They’re tasked with providing additional information for fans including statistics, player updates, team information, trivia and colour stories (hence the nickname). They augment the play-by-play people.

Not every baseball radio announcer has someone to back them up. For example, Los Angeles Dodgers’ outstanding broadcaster Vin Scully prefers to work alone.

Mind you, after 67 seasons covering games for the same team (1950 to present) Scully has more than enough stories to hold fans’ attention. Now 88, he’ll retire at the end of the 2016 campaign. Scully has been broadcasting games for the Dodgers since their Brooklyn, NY days. His stint in Dodgers’ broadcast booth is the longest for any broadcaster in professional sports history!

For my money the best baseball broadcasts are those where the play-by-play announcer is

supplemented by a knowledgeable colour person. There are a number of good examples, past and present.

Fans tend to prefer those individuals who broadcast games for their team of choice. That is only natural because you hear them so often. But with the advent of satellite radio and easy access to MLB Internet streaming, today’s baseball fan can subscribe to as many games as they wish on radio, television or both. With each team playing 162 games every season the choice is endless.

Streaming televised games via the world-wide web is relatively inexpensive and radio packages (on the net or via satellite radio) are cheaper still, especially if you only want to follow one team.

Still, it is the quality of the broadcast that keeps fans coming back.

The competence and knowledge of the on-air people is what makes or breaks any sports broadcast.

This is a subject that’s been on my mind for a while now. It is timely because we are about to head into the second month of the 2016 MLB campaign and some league and divisional races are already beginning to shape up.

Classic voice The Blue Jays “Canada’s team” are off to a slow start. But that was the case last season too and they ended up winning the American League East and falling just short of a third trip to the World Series.

What prompted me to write this now, however, was the recent death of a past radio colour man for my favourite team, the Detroit Tigers.

Unless you listened to Tigers’ broadcasts in the 1970s and `80s you probably haven’t heard of Paul Carey.

Carey teamed with the late Ernie Harwell who, in my opinion, was the greatest baseball play-by-play person ever.

Some MLB announcers in a league of their own Continued from page 31

Hungry mosquitoes Houston is an extremely hot, humid place which is exactly what led to construction of the Astrodome, the first domed sports stadium in the world.

Snider recalled playing in the outfield at stifling hot Colt Stadium. “The perspiration poured off you even when you weren’t moving. It was so hot and humid – and it was a night game! The mosquitoes were so big I thought they’d pick me up and carry me away.”

Stories like that put Snider in an elite class among baseball announcers.

For his part Tigers’ long-time playby-play man Harwell developed his own unique style.

When a foul ball was hit at old Tiger Stadium he would say something like, “And that ball was caught by a woman from Hamtramck.” Or perhaps, “A man from Southfield has snagged a souvenir.”

Both places are Detroit suburbs.

Asked how he knew who caught foul balls Ernie laughed and said, “I don’t. But

I think it’s more fun to say that instead of ‘Trammell fouls one off’ or something dull.”

People were addicted to his broadcasts.

Many wore headsets at games to hear Harwell’s version of a game they were watching in person. It led to a special relationship with listeners.

I remember a game when a female Tigers’ fan, worried she might have left the stove on at home, called a neighbour to ask her to check. In turn the neighbour called Tigers’ flagship station, WJR Detroit, with a message which Harwell happily relayed. “Mrs. Smith, your neighbour Mrs. Jones just called. Your stove is off. Everything’s OK. Enjoy the rest of the game!”

Harwell, who passed away in 2010 at age 92 after 55 years broadcasting baseball games (42 with the Tigers), also authored a 1985 autobiography entitled Tune to Baseball. It’s an excellent read.

I also want to credit Blue Jays’ longtime play-by-play team of Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth. They were among the best in the MLB. Howarth, who has been with the Jays since 1981, continues

to call radio games for the club. Sadly Cheek, who announced every Jays’ game from the club’s inception in 1977 until his retirement in 2004, passed away from brain cancer in 2005 at age 66.

Cheek, along with Harwell, Van Horne, Scully and Miller, are among a select number of radio broadcasters to win the prestigious Ford C. Frick Award, named for the former Baseball Commissioner.

The honour is presented annually by the National Baseball Hall of Fame (in Cooperstown, New York). It goes to a broadcaster for “major contributions to baseball.”

I’m fortunate to have heard all of those I have mentioned. Each has (or had) their own unique style. Together they represent the very best of MLB broadcasting.

Their contributions to the grand game of baseball can’t possibly be discounted.

Without people like them the sport would not be as popular and fans would be badly shortchanged.

Bologna was a special treat when visiting Briscoe’s General Store Briscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County. If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store.

Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept. And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds. It was a big fat roll of bologna...of course, we simply called it balony back then. I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.

Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies

left after she bought what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony too.”

He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it right on the spot.

And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again, said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise. Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the whole world!

Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a hum-

bug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion. They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages. No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home...without Mother seeing of course.

Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that demanded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all.

“Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday School voice.

“Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?”

$

He dropped the candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me.

Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine. Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm.

5 simple ways to go green at home and save money

(MS) — Thinking green throughout the year can offer some significant benefits. Here are some easy ways you can go green in your own home and lower your energy bills: Invest in a programmable thermostat. It will automatically adjust the temperature in your house, saving you energy while you’re out for the day, away on vacation or sleeping.

Switch all of your lightbulbs to CFLs (compact fluorescent light) or LED bulbs. They last longer

and use up to 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs, saving you money on your electric bills.

Insulate well. Use insulation with a high Rvalue, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, to top up insulation in your attic. Aim for an R-value of 50 or a depth of 16 inches. For whole home efficiency, ensure other areas of your home are well insulated, such as crawl spaces, basement headers, walls and ceilings. It will keep your house cool in the warm weather and take the stress off your air conditioning unit.

Stop air leaks around your home by sealing existing gaps and cracks.

Use caulking or weather stripping around doors and windows. Installing a door sweep is also a good idea.

Replace old appliances with energy-efficient models. Only do laundry or run the dishwasher when you have full loads.

Remember that many little improvements can add up — providing valuable monthly savings for you, while protecting our environment for the future.

Save money and stay cool as temperatures rise

(MS) — Excessive energy bills can be a concern in spring and summer, just as much as they are in the winter. So how can you save money while keeping your home cool? The solution is simple: Top up your attic insulation.

A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss, forcing your AC unit to work harder than necessary over the warmer months. Most attics are insulated, but oftentimes the amount of insulation present is inadequate — especially in older homes. Over time, insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps.

Topping it up is easy. Ideally, you want to aim for a depth of 16 inches of insulation for an overall R-value of 50. When existing insulation is present, simply level existing insulation to the top of the joist. Lay a fire- and moisture-resistant batt insulation, like Roxul Comfortbatt, on top of joists, running perpendicular

to the first layer. Ensure batts are butted against each other tightly. Fit batts closely to cross joists; cut batt if necessary (this can be done easily with a serrated blade or bread knife) and leave no space between layers. Don’t forget to insulate the attic hatch to the same level as the rest of the attic. Apply weather-stripping to the edge of the hatch to reduce air leakage. Keep in mind that only IC-rated electrical fixtures can have insulation placed with zero clearance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local building code to insulate around the chimney.

When a house is insulated properly, energy savings can add up over time. Remember, insulation starts working the moment it is installed and can last for the life of the building. Tips on this easy, low-cost DIY project that will reduce your home’s energy loss and save you money are available at www.diywithroxul. com.
