City unveils affordable housing design on former Goodwill property

By Bill Hutchins

News – The City of Kingston has unveiled plans to create dozens of affordable housing units on some vacant land it owns at 1316-1318 Princess Street, near Portsmouth Avenue.

But the city won’t actually build the housing.

Through an innovative approach, the municipality intends to the sell the 2.5 acre property, the location of a former Goodwill discount store, to a private developer or not-for-profit organization.

“We buy the property and then we sell it to a private developer in exchange for affordable housing units,” explained Sheldon Laidman, director of housing and social services.

As an added incentive to potential builders, the city is itself taking on the responsibility of making sure all of the zoning requirements are done in advance.

A public open house held on May 31 at Calvin Park library unveiled conceptual designs for the type of residential zoning the city would like to see built.

The concepts show two buildings on the property – a 172-unit, 11 storey building close to Princess Street, and a smaller 64-unit, four storey building at the back of the property. That’s a total of 236 apartment units with 273 parking spaces. In addition, the taller building The Limestone District Grenadiers senior team defeated the Metro Toronto Wildcats 41-7 in would have room for commercial uses on the ground

floor such as a variety store, coffee shop or dry cleaners.

Laidman says pre-zoning the site, from commercial to residential, should make the site more attractive to potential developers. “We’re going through the zoning process ourselves first. So a developer will know what they could build on the property before bidding on it.”

The planning approvals will be subject to public input. So far, some concerns have been voiced over the height of the 11-storey building, shadowing impacts on neighbouring homes and the possible creation of an access road connecting the property to nearby Hillendale Street.

The city has hired a consulting firm to oversee the rezoning application and to address neighbourhood concerns.

The rezoning application is expected to be submitted to planners and council this sum-

mer. If successful, the property will then be the focus of a Request for Proposals in an effort to attract buyers. The consultant stressed the conceptual designs may differ from the actual construction based on what a future developer wants, although general uses and building forms will likely remain unchanged.

The city will expect the winning bidder to dedicate at least one-quarter of the total housing units, approximately 50 to 60 units, as affordable housing where rents are fixed at 80 per cent of the current market values.

“So if market rent for a onebedroom in Kingston is $1,000 a month we’d be looking for the developer to charge the tenant only 80 per cent of that rent for the life of the agreement,” said Laidman.

In return for affordable housing guarantees, the city intends to sell the property for much less than its market value. The city paid $1.5 million for 1316-1318

Princess Street three years ago.

The earliest construction could start on the Princess Street buildings is 2018.

The former Goodwill site, next to townhouses run by Kingston Co-Operative Homes, has been largely vacant since a spectacular fire destroyed the building in the 1990s.

Laidman says adding more low-rental units on the Princess Street site won’t solve the city’s affordable housing shortage because the demand is so high. “Fifty units is not going to cover that demand by any stretch, but it’s a significant amount. About 20 percent of our entire population can’t afford the normal rental market.

They need some assistance.”

The Princess Street land assembly is part of the multi-million dollar municipal strategy to acquire land around Kingston to facilitate the development of affordable housing.

In 2012, the city also tapped into its special land bank fund

to pay $1 million to buy a threestorey dormitory-style convent at 7 Wright Crescent from the Congregation of Notre Dame.

The property was then sold to new owners - a partnership of Caraco and Town Homes Kingston - to help create dozens of

affordable housing units. Construction of the two buildings on Wright Crescent is expected to begin soon.

Said Laidman: “We’re certainly always on the lookout for the next property that might be available.”

The Planning Partnership, the federal government’s consultant in the visioning exercise, has unveiled unorthodox plans to get people talking about future uses for the prime real estate. The consultant will hold a series of one-on-one meetings, public workshops and roving information stations to gather input.

The 20-minute one-on-one personal interviews will take place June 8, 9 and 15 and can be booked by contacting the consultant (gmacinnes@planpart.ca).

In addition, there will be two public workshops on June 15 at 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at TICO#50007364

ada Lands Company, the federal government’s real estate arm, in conjunction with the City of Kingston, Correctional Service Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The consultation will cost up to $350,000 with the city kicking in $100,000 as its share.

The 178-year-old maximum secu-

rity institution was shuttered by the former Conservative government in the fall of 2013. Portsmouth Olympic Harbour marina, federally owned but municipally leased, and the cityowned Portsmouth Olympic Harbour building are also included in the visioning exercise.

The government will ultimately decide the terms of ownership and redevelopment of its waterfront as-

sets. But before any land is sold, the community and interested stakeholders can voice what they’d like to see happen. This includes decisions surrounding municipal heritage designations.

The eight-hectare former prison property on King Street West has been touted as a remarkable development opportunity for residential, sport, tourism or other potential uses.

“It’s important for Kingston that it’s done right,” said Mayor Paterson.

The spring consultation will, coincidentally, occur just as the mothballed prison is re-opened for daily public tours run by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission. Ticket prices for the tours will cost $25 between Wednesday and Sunday, while a special $20 rate for Kingston-only

residents will be charged to visit the prison on Tuesdays, and can only be purchased online.

The mayor says the June consultations won’t be the end of it. He expects further community discussions to resume in the fall. “We want to make sure that everybody is back from holidays - that they’re there and can come out and provide their input and ideas.”

Roundtable meets in Kingston on bill to support survivors of sexual violence in the workplace Aric McBay

News - MPP Peggy Sattler, Ontario’s NDP critic on women’s issues, visited Kingston on June 2 to convene a roundtable about her private member’s bill to support survivors of sexual violence. The group included about 20 representatives from different community groups, service providers, and survivors of sexual violence, who shared their own stories and feedback on the bill.

Sattler’s bill, which has passed its second reading, would amend existing workplace legislation to require accommodation for survivors of domestic or sexual violence. In particular, the bill (C-177) would grant up to 10 days of paid leave to an employee who has experienced domestic or sexual violence.

The bill specifies five reasons for leave, including medical attention, services from a rape crisis centre, psychological counselling, meetings with a lawyer or law enforcement, or to relocate so employees can protect themselves from further domestic or sexual violence. That leave would also be available to a parent whose child had experienced such violence.

“Having that leave available could make a really big difference, to allow people to maintain employment as they heal and recover,” Sattler said. “Having financial security is often the first step in leaving abusive relationships.”

There are precedents in Manitoba, Australia, and several US states. Sattler hopes the new bill will be an improvement on existing legislation in Manitoba, which allows only five days of leave and doesn’t include any training requirements.

Sattler noted that the Ontario government put money into the development of a program called “Make It Our Business” to offer domestic violence training in the workplace, but that it is not yet widely used. That’s why Sattler’s bill would also amend the Occupational Health and Safety Act to require training on domestic and sexual violence in the workplace.

People experiencing sexual or domestic violence sometimes mention it to others in the work-

place, said Sattler. “The data shows that 40 per cent report it to their co-workers,” she explained.

“We have to do something to equip co-workers to respond to disclosures.”

Sattler also said that the bill made economic sense because the stress and trauma of violence can prevent survivors and even their co-workers from working effectively. Paid leave can help survivors to get support and recover more quickly.

Michelle LaMarche, who is on the board of directors of Sexual Assault Centre Kingston, participated in the roundtable. She supports the bill, but noted that there will be many workplace challenges for survivors even if the bill is passed, including the challenge of requesting leave.

“Disclosure of domestic and sexual violence can be a difficult and scary process for many survivors,” said LaMarche, citing stigma and a fear of intrusive questioning. “Confidentiality is of utmost importance when employees disclose to employers about themselves or their child.”

Brynn Harlock, a Kingstonian and NDP youth organizer who helped plan the roundtable, said “I felt it was important, number one, to have public consultation about it and, number two, to make sure the public is aware of this great bill, to put pressure on the Liberal government to pass it. “ Harlock, who is also on board of Sexual Assault Centre Kingston, said the bill was “a phenomenal start.”

“A lot of the stories we hear from service users speak about their difficulty in the workplace after their assault. So it’s extremely beneficial.”

Right now the bill is sitting in front of Ontario’s Standing Committee on Justice Policy along with about twenty other bills; that Committee will have to take action to send the bill for a third reading before it can be passed into law.

Sattler encouraged people to contact Premier Wynne and to sign a petition in support of the bill at: peggysattler.ca/bill-177/ Like many of those present, Sattler said her bill needs to be part of broader social and po-

“There’s been a year-long national dialogue on that around Ghomeshi,” Sattler said. “In

the aftermath of Ghomeshi, I think that government needs to look long and hard at what we do to people when we put them through that criminal justice process in the aftermath of sexual assault.”

A horse with no name; Kingston Police seek community suggestions for new mounted unit member

By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – There’s a new member of the Kingston Police Force this year; a seven-year-old mare, affectionately known a Q, is the newest addition to the mounted unit and while her temporary name has served her well until now, Constable Deb Wicklam would like to have a more appropriate name for her going forward.

“We got her at two years old and she came from a local breeder on Wolfe Island. Initially, when she was a young horse we called her Island Queen and then that got shortened over the years to Q,” said Wicklam. “We weren’t sure if she would become a police horse so she was never given an official police name and now that she is on full time she needs a name.”

The mounted unit of the KPF has been active since 1998 and was originally started by Wicklam’s husband. When he retired in 2006

Wicklam took over, and it has been her unit ever since. Over the years, she has learned what makes a good police horse.

“We look for a horse that is a cold blood cross. They tend to be more docile and are able to work longer days on the pavement and in traffic,” she explained. “They also need to be good in public and be very approachable.”

Q is all of these things, and she is also learning from veteran mounted unit horse, Donovan, who is now 17.

“He is the veteran of the unit and he has been one of our best police horses,” said Wicklam. “He was a carriage horse, but he wasn’t broke to ride so we trained him. He has always been great in traffic and great with the public.”

Q isn’t the only new addition to the mounted unit; Constable Sarah Groenewegen will be riding around the city for the first time this year.

While she grew up riding horses, she admits that this is a little dif-

ferent.

“It was hard in the beginning because I had bad habits; this is a different discipline. I trained for about six weeks and now I am really enjoying it.”

As the mounted unit, Wicklam and Groenewegen are responsible for patrolling the downtown core of Kingston. They work to enforce bylaws, the Highway Traffic Act, the Safe Streets Act and more, but they also work to improve community relations.

“What we have found is that the mounted unit tends to bridge the gap between the police and the public,” said Wicklam. “Where you would typically not have people going up to a police car, we don’t have that barrier with the horse. It is great because you interact more with the public and with kids.”

Being on the horses also gives the unit an advantage when it comes to enforcing things like seatbelts and crowd control.

“Because we are higher up, we R0013760403

have the ability to see over a crowd and that gives us an advantage. We can see provincial offences like cell phones and seatbelts a block away because of the height,” said Wicklam.

Even in the short time she has been riding, Groenewegen has seen a difference in how the community approaches her; this surprised her at first.

“When you are in a cruiser you are dealing with people, most of the time at their worst, and sometimes you are seen in a negative way. But on the horse, people will just approach you and talk to you and it is so great.

They want to take your picture and just talk to you. It is a different side of policing.”

Workshop introduces Kingstonians to participatory budgeting

By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Over the past year, Kingston City Council has made it clear that they want to be open and transparent, they want to hear from the community more and they want to see more participation in government. All of this is great, but could they be doing even more?

Williamsville District councillor Jim Neill thinks so and on June 1, he held a community workshop to introduce the idea of participatory budgeting to Kingstonians.

“It is a way of engaging the whole community to help make decisions around priorities and what projects to fund with tax payer dollars,” he explained. “It is a very community engaged process and I think it would work very well in Kingston.”

Participatory budgeting (PB) is a democratic process in which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget.

The process was first developed in Brazil in 1989, and there are now over 1,500 participatory budgets around the world. Most of these are at the city level, for the municipal budget, but PB has also been used for counties, states, housing authorities, school systems, universities, coalitions, and other public agencies.

Neill first learned about PB a couple of years ago and last month, he travelled to Harvard University for the fourth annual International Participatory Budgeting Conference with local activist Andrew McCann. The two came back energized and quickly organized a workshop to help the community learn more about PB. They invited anyone who was interested to attend and also arranged to have a number of speakers present, including Toronto city councillor Shelley Cameron, who has experience using PB. “We are now in our third year of using PB in my ward and while things were hard to get going, the results have been great,” said Cameron. “The community is really coming to the table and they just want to know in advance how money in the Ward will be spent.”

In a typical model, PB would follow a basic process: residents brainstorm spending ideas, volunteer budget delegates develop proposals based on these ideas, residents vote on proposals and the government implements the top projects. For example, if community members identify recreation spaces as

a priority, their delegates might develop a proposal for basketball court renovations.

The residents would then vote on this and other proposals, and if they approve the basketball court, the city pays to renovate it.

According to Cameron, starting up a PB model in a city can be difficult at first; it’s not uncommon for it to be met with resistance in the beginning, especially from city staff, but in the end it is better for everyone.

“It does take a lot of work, but the community engagement makes it worthwhile,” she said.

Neill also acknowledges that it would be hard to get PB going in Kingston and he has already met some resistance in bringing up the idea to the CAO. “He had a concern that this would end up costing the city money, but you could do it within the framework of the existing capital budget,” said Neill. “Right now, once every four years you delegate power to the elected officials and you count on them and then we delegate to staff to help us with the process. PB would be kind of stepping back, with a portion of the budget, and letting the community decide.”

Neill feels that this process would be beneficial to Kingston in terms of transparency, community participation and engagement.

“I think the major benefit would be the variety of projects that could come out of this and the fact that these projects will be exactly what the community wants,” he

more than just a mode of transportation. Over time, she has developed a deeper relationship with the horses that have been part of the mounted unit.

“The horse can signal to us if someone wants our attention and sometimes they can see things we can’t on the sides,” she said. “You develop a relationship with them and they become your vehicle, but also your partner.

There is quite a bond that is developed between the officer and the horse.”

Overall, Wicklam most enjoys the fact that she gets to be outside with the Members of the Kingston community mounted unit and that she and a number of city councillors gath- gets to foster a better relationship with community

He hopes that through more community awareness events, PB can eventually make its way into council.

“I hope that there is enough bottom up support in the community that the majority of council will take heart in this,” he said. “It would be great if we were able to start a process that could allow some participatory budgeting in the near future.”

members. She hopes the horse naming competition will help further this relationship too.

“It is a great way to police in this city,” she said.

“We really become part of the community and so do the horses.”

For those interested in helping rename Q, submissions are being accepted until July 1 over social media by using #KPHorse, by email at media@kpf. ca or at the station, 1201 Division Street. There is also a colouring contest that kids can take part in and books are available at the station.

In Our Opinion

Being a ‘grown up’ is hard sometimes So hard done by: We have reason When you are a kid, it feels like growing up takes forever. You want nothing more than to be a ‘grown up’ and do grown up things, but the reality is, when you do grow up it isn’t so great sometimes.

Sure, you can eat dessert before dinner, you can do what you want when you want, and you don’t have to answer to your parents (at least not as often). But what you don’t realize when you are a kid is that when you do grow up and become an adult you also have to deal with things like taxes, bills and car repairs.

Most of the time, I still don’t think of myself as ‘grown up’. Even though I am nearly 32, with a job/career in my desired field, I don’t really think of myself as an adult. Most of the time it is fine to think like this, but then adult

problems like a check engine light snap me into reality.

To be fair, I have been very spoiled in terms of cars and car repairs for most of my driving years. My dad is a manager at a car dealership and has been my entire life. This meant that I got certain privileges when it came to cars including getting a car (a used one) when I got my G2 and simply informing my dad and giving him the keys when something went wrong with the car. Like I said – spoiled. He also billed the repairs to my imaginary ‘tab’, again, very spoiled.

All of this changed when I moved to Kingston. Korey and I are adult car owners now and to my father’s horror, we didn’t purchase a car brand he approves of, AKA the car brand he works for.

Until now, this has been okay. Our car is a 2011 so there haven’t been any real problems, but about a month ago the check engine light came on and all of that changed. We took the car to the local dealership and after some investigating, they suspected that our car had been used as a nest for mice. I didn’t

even know that this was possible, but they assured me that this problem is pretty common, especially in more rural areas and advised me to contact our insurance company.

Fast forward a month and multiple trips to an insurance company recommended repair shop that ‘couldn’t find the problem’, multiple rental cars, a return trip to the dealership to actually resolve the problem, and now a separate issue that is being dealt with at the dealership.

Needless to say, being a grown up sucks right now and not just because of the car repairs, but also because of the fact that we have to deal with the insurance company and we have to pay for said repairs.

I don’t mean to complain. I understand that owning a car is a luxury and it does give us a lot of freedom. A car is also necessary for my job and our life in a suburban area like Kingston, but right now I wish I could go back to being a kid. At this time of year kids are looking forward to the end of school and summer holidays and that sounds pretty great right now.

Letter to the editor Let’s make it easier to save dogs left in hot cars in Kingston Recently, I came upon a vehicle in a parking lot with a dog left inside. I didn’t know what to do, and I hated to dial 911, so I waited for the driver to return to their car. They returned 22 minutes later. I told them what I thought of their actions, and that I would be reporting them. But reporting them was not easy.

I called the Kingston Humane Society. Their automated answering system was encouraging as it told me to leave a message if I found a dog in a parked car. But the automated system didn’t allow me to leave a message. I finally

hung up and tried their number again.

This time, I pressed “zero� to speak to a real person, and it worked. The Kingston Humane Society gave me a number to call and report the incident.

They told me they do not deal with this issue, even though their automated system said they did. They gave me the number for the OSPCA, 310-7722.

I called that number, putting the area code in, 1-613-310-7722, and I got a message that the call could not be put through as dialed. I called the Kingston Humane Society back to tell them this, and they suggested I drop

the area code (who knew?). So I called 1-310-7722 and finally got through.

If people have to jump through a dozen hoops to save an animal, the system is going to fail. I hope the local Humane Society will revamp their automated phone messages. We’re in for a long hot summer, and I have just put a big crowbar into my car. I can see it now – MAN JAILED FOR SAVING ANIMAL! Bruce Todd Kingston

8 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, June 9, 2016

to gripe about the struggle of trying in vain to acquire Hip concert tickets Editorial – You never really stood a chance. Thousands of Kingston and area residents stood poised over their computer terminals last week only to discover that for all their experience and training, they could not click and tab field their way to score prized pre-sale tickets for The Tragically Hip’s final tour stop at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in what is likely to be their final tour.

As soon as the clock struck 9 a.m., a great deal of tickets were snatched up and quickly advertised on resale websites like Stubhub at 10 times their face-value. Sadly, for anyone who has used Ticketmaster’s services since the advent of online ticket sales, there was certain inevitability to this scenario that the honorary poet-laureate of our souls might appreciate: you weren’t merely competing against each other - you were competing with a robot army.

For the last decade, ‘bots’ have invaded the practice of scoring huge swaths of prized tickets to the world’s hottest live events. The professional resellers behind their programming then promptly relist their tickets on prominent resale websites at exponentially inflated prices. Though officially against the practice, Ticketmaster itself is believed to at the very least tolerate the status quo, if not outright condone it. That’s because bots make darn good customers. In a 2013 article, The New York Times wrote that in 2011, Ticketmaster hired anti-bot expert John Carrahan for the task of slowing the bots down – as opposed to, say, booting them from the website. Carrahan notes that bots are fairly easy to detect because the way in which they navigate the webpage looks nothing like clunky humanoids thrashing about with unwieldy digits. The end result of his intervention is that all you puny humans now have the opportunity to buy some tickets for the advertised price, but you’ve got to be fast and think like a bot.

There’s a terrifyingly undemocratic logic to the practice that involves a heavy dose of free-market philosophy: that is to say the true value of many tickets goes well beyond what the rabble is prepared to pay, but nobody wants to be seen charging small fortunes for admittance to the show.

For its part, Stubhub claims that the purpose of its site is connect fans with tickets to fans in need of tickets. How exactly it squares the “fans� who post tickets a minute after they go on sale at ten times their face value with this mission statement is unclear. A better way clearly exists, but it requires going to war against an entrenched culture with deep pockets and endless workarounds. It’s a fight for another day.

What event organizers need to do now is consult with stakeholders – the city, the authorities, the fans, and work towards providing a forum where all the fans can connect with band for the penultimate Live Between Us experience.

Many citizens have suggested live-streaming the concert on the big screen in Springer Market Square. However, it may well be that we have to think even bigger, drawing on multiple mediums, such as radio, internet, and live access TV, and using multiple locations. Lately there has been a lot of talk about a broadcast of the K-Rock concert on CBC. We hope to see this happen. If ever there was a time to come together in the name of music and our identity as Canadians and Kingstonians, it’s now.

Time to burst City Hall’s bubble? Engaging more citizens on their turf

LET’S GET TO WORK!

open up the black box of municipal government.”

He plans to ask council to relocate its regular meetings to other sites around the city a “couple of times a year.”

Why is any of this important?

Well, for decades, some believe the council that meets in City Hall is usually out of sight and out of mind for the masses – aside from media coverage, single issue spectators with an agenda reason to be there and a few diehard council observers. Sure, there is televised coverage and the introduction of internet streaming to reach a home audience. But a council meeting in the community has its own ben-

efits: easier for other residents to attend in person, opportunities to get engaged in municipal government, and, perhaps more important, it makes councillors more open and accountable to a new group of people other than the usual suspects who show up in person on Tuesday evenings.

As for Memorial Hall and the like, these meeting venues still have a role to play in welcoming public events. But it’s been obvious for years that new methods of community outreach are needed in places far enough away from the City Hall bubble.

Editorial – Have you noticed a marked change lately in the way that City of Kingston politicians and bureaucrats are trying to connect with residents?

It’s more like a complete overhaul.

Gone are the days when councillors and staff would organize a typical public meeting in the dimly-lit, acoustically incorrect Memorial Hall to gather feedback on weighty municipal issues.

Don’t get me wrong. Those meetings, ranging from allowing a casino to expanding the smoking ban, served their purpose for collective feedback.

But, on some occasions, they were also fraught with frustration.

The open mic-style format is not only intimidating to those who don’t like speaking before a large audience, but such gatherings tend to attract one-sided groups that can easily hijack the ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ side of an issue with a stacked deck of speakers. It would leave many opinions in the shadows for fear of being publicly ridiculed based on the prevailing mood of the room.

These public meetings, usually held in the evenings from 7-9 p.m., are also inconvenient for some families with young children due to the time, location and lack of on-site daycare.

Former councils often talked about ways to improve the lines of communication with constituents.

The shift to collect on-line comments through the city’s website is now a staple. But even that may not be reaching enough citizens with their own busy lives. So, the city is moving to other avenues further away from 216 Ontario Street.

It’s a refreshing and innovative approach to making sure municipal policies get the desired public input. So what are these ‘new and improved’ strategies?

Some of them

have popped up recently in the form of community barbeques, canvassing neighbourhoods, roving workshops, one-on-one meetings and Chats with the Mayor. This is all part of a coordinated effort to engage citizens on their turf.

The just-started North King’s Town visioning exercise will involve staff and consultants meeting with residents where they live and play, offering BBQs and entertainment while collecting feedback on neighbourhood housing, commercial growth and transportation issues.

The Kingston Penitentiary/Portsmouth Olympic Harbour visioning will soon introduce Kingstonians to private face-to-face meetings and a roving consultation caravan. While some of these strategies are being imported by city-hired consultants, the general consensus among city staff is that they’d like to adopt these types of formats to deal with future issues.

And, council itself is taking a small, but important step into the community this summer. The July 12 council meeting will be held at the Tett Centre for Creativity’s Malting Tower room on King Street West.

It marks the first time in over three years that council has actually left City Hall to meet in another public venue. The last time was for a series of roadshow meetings in late 2012/early 2013.

Councillors moved around to Queen’s University, St. Lawrence College, CFB Kingston and Royal Military College – but that was only because the council chamber was undergoing extensive technology upgrades that made it unusable for a few months. A move of necessity not willingness.

Mayor Bryan Paterson welcomes the temporary change of venue, describing it this way: “It will

Bath Gunboat weekend looks to highlight village’s extensive heritage

By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Residents of Loyalist Township are gearing up for a weekend of history; from June 10 to 12, the Village of Bath will be hosting a historical gunboat weekend and planner David Smith hopes it will be a weekend to remember.

“The weekend will really showcase some of the things that would have occurred in the area between 1790 and 1815,” he explained.

“It was a very busy place and an economic beehive of the day and we like to celebrate that and remind the community of Bath’s historical importance.”

The festivities will kick off on Friday with an educational day for local school children.

The day will feature displays, re-enactments and workshops.

“We will have people of different trades and roles from the historical period showing

local students how things were done during that time,” said Smith. “We will have a naval surgeon, someone making sails, people cooking and preparing meals as they would have and we will also have a number of historical displays.”

The celebrations continue on Saturday and Sunday when the public is invited to check out all of the historical displays and the ships.

“The waterway was the 401 of the day and we will be showcasing the ships that transported goods and other items along the water,” said Smith. “We focus on the naval life that would have been going on throughout that time frame.”

At dusk on Saturday, the ships will put on a historical display complete with cannons, fireworks and a historical re-enactment.

“I think it is the best fireworks we have short of Canada Day. It is a full gunboat engagement on the water and it is always a crowd pleaser,” said Smith.

It’s warming up Quickly!

To wrap up the weekend, a historical reenactment of The Burning of the Two Brothers will be taking place on the Sunday.

“It looks at a historical attack, that occurred in 1812, made by U.S ships on a Kingston Harbour,” explained Smith. “It is really unique and historical and should be fun to see.”

All of the weekend’s events are designed to showcase the history that is very much a part of Bath and can still be seen today throughout the village.

“Bath has most of its original architecture still intact and we have many community members that are interested in preserving that history,” said Smith. “There are people that are personally championing restoring properties and preserving the heritage here and I think that really makes Bath a historical jewel. There is great community spirit to

protect it all and bring history to life in the area and that is so rare.”

Smith, who is also a member of the Fairfield Gutzeit Society, is always surprised by the community support when events like this are being organized in Bath.

“Whenever we do something like this in the village nobody complains about the sound of the cannons or any of the things that are going on, they all want to help and they are very supportive of it all,” he said.

“It really shows how important history is here and that should be celebrated.”

The Bath Gunboat weekend takes place June 10 to 12 at the Lafarge Discovery Centre and Fairfield Gutzeit House at 341 Main Street in Bath. Admission to all events is free and for more information visit www. villageofbath.com or look for the event on Facebook.

Group aims to build peace one song at a time

By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Music has the power to bring people together and for the past eight weeks, it has been doing just that in Kingston’s north end.

PeaceSong is a group formed with the help of Kingston Community Health Centre (KCHC), PeaceQuest and local artist and singer/songwriter Wendy Luella Perkins. Each week it brings members of the community together to sing, socialize and talk about peace.

The group was made possible through an Ontario Arts Council development grant and Perkins was happy to take charge and lead it.

“It really interested me because it was an opportunity to bring together professionals artists, like myself, community groups and just regular members of the community,” she explained. “Members didn’t need to be musically talented, we just asked that they like to sing and are interested in issues surrounding peace.

That was it.”

The group consists of about 20 members who meet weekly at KCHC. Each session, they start by singing and then move to a discussion on a topic pertaining to peace. The program was open to anyone in the community and Perkins

was surprised to see such a diverse group form.

“We have people who are clients of KCHC, staff at KCHC, people that are living on low-income or have housing struggles and also people who have been peace and justice advocates their whole lives and are professionals living in Kingston,” she said. “It is kind of rare that people from a wide spectrum of the community get together and communicate and discuss issues that matter to them and it is so great to see.”

Now, in week seven, the room that the group meets in is covered in everything from their own ideas about how to have peace in the community, to a collection of their own song lyrics. Each member has contributed and for some that was difficult at times.

“I am a bit of an introvert so this group was a bit challenging a first,” said member Sue Rae-Joyce. “I love singing though and as the weeks went on I got more comfortable and I really enjoyed getting to know people and creating our own songs.”

Perkins used the music in the program to bring people together. As she sees it, music is at the start of every social justice movement and therefore it’s at the centre of peace seeking, too.

“If you look back at women’s suf-

frage you see it and certainly if you think of the 1960s, songs become anchors for movements,” she said. “This is about finding the songs that are calling out to us today from our own situations and our own lives. We wanted to look at peace through those songs and create our own songs to reflect what we are feeling today.”

Perkins has been involved in peace movements herself for many years and involved with PeaceQuest, a non-profit, non-denominational and non-partisan organization based in Kingston that supports and facilitates peace-building initiatives across Canada. PeaceSong allowed her to bring her love of both music and peace building together and while the program was funded by a one-time grant, Perkins hopes to continue building off the ideas it brought forward.

“We will be getting together in the summer, twice a month for a song or two,” she said. “We want to keep the momentum and then hopefully start a new program in the fall through a production grant that would allow us to perform in the community and maybe put together an album too.”

Perkins has also enjoyed seeing the impact the program has had both on the individuals who participated and herself, and she hopes

that if a similar project starts in the fall emailing her at info@peacesong.ca or even more members of the community calling 613 549 3102. will come out.

Public Information Centre: An eye-opener News- Wolfe Islanders had their first look at what might happen to the ferry docks in Marysville and at Dawson Point (as well in Kingston) with the addition of a new 75 car ferry, and the continuing operation of the Wolfe Islander 111,, at the first Public Information Centre held at Sacred Heart School as part of the environmental process for this massive project.

While there was no public presentation Ministry of Transportation (MTO) personnel were present along with the Morrison Hershfield team (retained to complete the preliminary design and class EA study for the WI Ferry and docking improvements including Kingston), to answer questions, explain the process, the alternatives and to hear the opinions from members of the public . They encouraged the public to submit their com-

ments, concerns, ideas, etc. in writing before leaving the open house, all to be added to the study report and posted. And very many did, some happily, others not so much. The result of this study will lead to a technical alternative, and the environmental requirements . Then its MTO’s turn with a completed EA to proceed to detail design and construction , for what is expected to address long term needs. ( For 20, or maybe 40years?)

Perhaps what was surprising for everyone was the massive expansion of all 3 docks, along with parking and marshalling areas identified in the board drawings arranged around the school gym. Nor was the idea of the 75 car ferry going to Marysville in the minds of Wolfe Islanders originally.

The 2011 study led us to understand that the Wolfe Islander 111 would dock at Marysville, and the new larger 75 car ferry would dock at Dawson Point. The change to that

scenario comes with docking plans providing the flexibility for both ferry’s to access Marysville . It identifies a dual ferry operation with year round access to Maryville and the flexibility for both ferries to access both island ferry terminals. In both cases requiring dredging in Marysville. What is clear in these alternatives is that if both ferries were to use the village dock, massive infrastructure would be required.

The design pictures are daunting for the amateur ( like myself), but all four dock plan scenarios for Marysville include space for two ferry dockings. All the parking and marshalling of vehicles are in the dock area, nothing on the street or in the village. These Marysville scenarios require major extensions into the water and significant dredging . Three of the scenarios for Marysville show a signalized intersection light for leaving the boat. The 4th does not. No change to turning right or left into Marysville.

At Dawson Point, four scenarios require the acquisition of land for parking and marshalling while two show most parking and marshalling into an extended dock into the water. The documents indicate different marshalling patterns for large trucks and smaller vehicles, and different locations for amenities (waiting rooms etc.).

For the Kingston dock there are 3 three scenarios, indicating changes and all parking /marshalling east of Ontario Street, requiring major extensions into the water.

The Kingston Public Information Centre was held on June 2nd.

What’s next is the evaluation of all the alternatives (feedback received) and based on the socio economic, natural, and cultural environment, transportation factors, and cost, and to select a technically preferred alternative. The 2nd Public Information Centre is scheduled tentatively for winter 2017.

News – A crucial bridge repair job in Kingston’s west-end remains stalled due to a lack of information between the city and the company hired to do the work.

On May 5, the City of Kingston took the unusual step of suspending work on the four-lane Front Road concrete bridge and culvert rehabilitation project, located next to the Invista Plant.

City engineers are seeking more “clarity” from the contractor, Lischer Construction of Carp, before allowing the work to resume.

“We have worked with the contractor to get clarity and certainty on the schedule and costs.

This information has yet to be provided by the contractor so we have suspended the work until we gain clarity on these issues,” said construction manager Mark Campbell.

Officials say they are seeking a clear schedule for the project’s completion as well as details of any unforeseen costs. The initial project budget was set at $3.6 million.

Construction crews were just a few weeks into their third season of bridge work when the city temporarily suspended the project.

Mark Van Buren, director of engineering, says

there’s still no timeline on when the work might resume. “The City is working towards completing this project as soon as possible. We remain hopeful that the project will be completed this year, but it is still unclear until we receive answers from the contractor and their bonding company in accordance with the contract.”

Van Buren made it clear the work stoppage is in the best interests of taxpayers. “We have to focus on value for money and safeguarding our taxpayers. The contract sets out an industrystandard process to resolve disputes, which we are following.”

The lack of construction activity may be frustrating for commuters. Until the bridge dispute is resolved, the busy route along Front Road remains down to two lanes through the empty construction site. The two lanes on the north side of the bridge remain closed for safety reasons as part of the bridge deck has been ripped up.

City officials would still like the bridge work to be finished this year, but after a month-long delay they can’t guarantee it.

“We realize time is of the essence here. We’re all motivated to get this project finished as soon as we can,” Van Buren explained.

New and improved Sydenham Point reopens just in time for summer

By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – For community members and tourists, the Point on Sydenham Lake has always been an attraction.

Each summer, the point is used for swim and day camp programs, outdoor recreation activities, triathlons

and more. But in recent years, these activities have been harder to accommodate.

“We started noticing that the Point was getting narrower and we discovered that the railway ties that were holding it together, so to speak, were falling apart,” explained Michael Howe, Recreation Committee chair

in the Loughborough district.

Community members and tourists have actively used the Point since 1947. The township of South Frontenac took over its ownership in 1976 and railway ties were installed along the waterfront in the mid ‘80s to preserve the footprint of the area. Since then, it’s had little maintenance aside from the occasional sand drop to make the beach more enjoyable for users.

In 2014, it became clear to both the Township and the Recreation Committee that their current preservation method was no longer working.

“The ties were falling apart to the point of exposed spikes and they were also a risk to the environment because they were leaching,” said Tim Laprade, arena and recreation supervisor for the Township of South Frontenac. “It was important for us to start the restoration as soon as possible because the longer you wait the more the Point would deteriorate and we could only build on the current footprint.”

The Township, with the assistance of the Recreation Committee, put a call out to local engineering companies to help with the project; in the end, Riggs Engineering came in to do the work.

Funding for the project came from the Township’s Capital reserve funding and it ended up costing about $150,000, explained Laprade. “It is a lot of money, but a worthy investment to improve this area.”

The new Point is fully accessible with a gravel path that will eventually be paved. The railway ties have been removed and replaced with

“We ended up creating spaces where there could be sand, but it won’t go into the lake,” said Howe.

“They are little sand pods that people can sit on and enjoy, but it won’t go into the lake, at least not in large quantities.”

Work on the Point was started in late September and continued until there was ice on the lake. While there is still more to be done, the Township is holding off for the summer season.

“There is still some landscaping to be done and we need to figure out if we want to put a playground in,” said Howe. “But all of that can be done after high season out here. For now we are just looking forward to having it more accessible and safer.”

The Point officially reopened to the public on June 4 and soon swimming lessons and day camps will be running. The triathlon will also return this year. Howe hopes that all of these activities are made easier with the work that has been done.

“This was a major undertaking for the township,” he said. “It is a beautiful spot and this just makes it better.”

“Twenty-five years ago there was maybe 2,000 girls playing hockey – now there’s half a million. Some women have never had the opportunity to play but there is opportunity now.

What’s better than ice cream on a hot afternoon at school?

Kingston Christian School Grade 6 students (l-r) Tara Martin, Ethan Levac and Megan Kooy enjoy a well-deserved break during Little Bowls: Little People Making a Big Difference, a fundraising event for Corus Feeds Kids held at the school on May 31.

Heather Healey’s Grade 5/6 class raised over $200 selling sundaes for the Corus Entertainment initiative, which is dedicated to nourishing the bodies and minds of children; locally, it supports Kingston’s Partners in Mission Food Bank.

After researching several local charities and presenting them to one another, students voted on raising money for Corus Feeds Kids.

Choosing the theme little bowls: little people making a big difference, students worked on the project using math, art and language to organize, advertise, and sell sundaes to the entire student body.

Students (JK-8) traded bowls they brought in to have as a keepsake and serve as a reminder that there are children right in our own city who miss meals.

“We’ve seen similar fundraisers like this done with soup,” Says Kooy. “But, we decided on sundaes. Eating ice cream while helping other kids is why this is so good.” Photos/Rob Mooy

A new way of experiencing Limestone City attractions for Kingstonians and tourists

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

News - There’s a new way to experience the attractions of Kingston, and the hope is it’ll be popular with both tourists and residents alike.

Available through Kingston 1000 Islands Cruises & Trolleys, the new “K-Pass” is billed as an all-inclusive ticket to many different experiences in the Kingston and 1000 Islands including: Kingston 1000 Islands Cruises; Kingston Trolley Tours; Fort Henry; The Pump House Steam Museum; Bellevue House; Murney Tower; Ahoy Rentals and more. Tourists are able to choose between 24-, 48- and 72-hour packages as well whether they want a sightseeing, lunch or dinner cruise at accordingly adjusted price points.

A different ‘Season’s Pass’ is available exclusively to Kingston residents; for $78, it includes unlimited access to Kingston Trolley Tours, 1000 Islands Sightseeing Cruises and museum admission, plus a discounted rate on dinner cruises, among other things.

“This is a way of getting people

engaged in this wonderful town that we have,” says Hugh Mackenzie, general manager of Kingston 1000 Islands Cruises & Trolleys. Mackenzie notes that 50 per cent of the city’s tourists stay overnight with friends and family.

“When we have people visiting, let’s take them around and show them the neat stuff we have here.”

Mackenzie says that this is something Kingston’s tourism partners have been wanting to do since acquiring the fleet of tour trolleys four years ago. He remarks that local museum attendance alone has increased by a median of 70 per cent since the hop on/hop off system was introduced.

“Everybody’s seeing the value of jointly working together,” he says.

“All the tourism partners collaborating is having a wonderful impact on us all.”

Mackenzie hopes the new residents’ pass will also encourage local Kingstonians to get out and experience their city.

“Last week the launch [of the Kick and Push Festival] was done in Murney Tower. I was sitting beside a senior

civil servant, a person who’s been a commissioner at the City for decades, and she’d never been inside Murney Tower. So there’s a key example of something that’s part of our landscape that we drive by every day but never go inside it.”

As for himself, Mackenzie admits that it took 20 years of living in Kingston before he ever ventured onto a tour trolley.

“I was so busy with the boats,” he says. “But Kingston is an iconic, authentic Canadian city. The history, the heritage, the lakes, the rivers, the islands, the culture, the restaurants, the 21 National Historic Sites – there’s lots of stuff going on all the time.”

Government to launch feasibility study on restoring prison farms News - On June 2, in response to a question posed by Kingston and the Islands Member of Parliament Mark Gerretsen, Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale announced that the government will launch a feasibility study on restoring the prison farms in the Kingston area.

Canada’s prison farms were shuttered by the Harper Conservatives in 2010. Gerretsen asked the Minister whether the government has changed its position on the prison farm program.

“In my riding of Kingston and the Islands, these closures hit hard, as the farms at Collins Bay and Joyceville Institutions were widely recognized as places where inmates gained essential life and work skills to help them reintegrate into society upon release,” said Gerretsen in a press release.

Goodale said the government believes that an effective criminal justice system is built on evidence-based policies that promote public safety and the reintegration of offenders:

“That’s why we will be reviewing the cost and effectiveness of reinstating the prison farm program at Collins Bay and Joyceville Institutions, and encouraging citizens, business leaders and other interested stakeholders to share their visions for what the program could look like.”

The feasibility study will allow all who are interested or invested in the prison farms to contribute to the discussion. The process will assess the effectiveness and viability of reestablishing agriculture and agri-food employment initiatives for offenders at Collins Bay and Joyceville Institutions.

The study will include an online public forum, open from June 4 to August 4, as well as a town hall meeting held in Kingston, details of which have yet to be released. Once the feasibility study is complete, the findings will be posted publicly.

“I am delighted to see this very important first step being taken to restore the prison farms, which has

been a topic that has generated much discussion throughout the Kingston community for many years,” said Gerretsen.

Dianne Dowling, president of NFU Local 316 and local farmer, is one of the people who has worked tirelessly for many years to see the farms restored.

“I am very pleased that the Minister has announced, in the House of Commons, that his department will be conducting a feasibility study that includes seeking public input through the online forum and through a town hall meeting in Kingston,” Dowling said of the news.

“It will pro-

$

SMELL THAT?

BASS SEASON

vide an opportunity for government to hear ideas from the people of this area about what the farms could include and how the farms could be reestablished.”

Dowling remarked that prison farm supporters have always been hopeful the farms would be restored.

“The next step for prison farm supporters is to participate in the

online public forum, opening June 4, and to contribute by attending the town hall meeting.”

Community members can give their input at http://www.csc-scc. gc.ca/consult/index-en.shtml.

Guardians of the Children work to ‘help kids be kids’ in Kingston mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Stereotypically speaking, bikers are seen as tough and unapproachable and while this is not always the case, a local group is ok with this perception - at least when it helps them protect kids.

“A bunch of bikers standing in front of a kid’s house with their bikes and leathers is more intimidating than a bunch of guys in golf carts and shorts, it is just that simple,” says Rick Sweetman, a member of Guardians of the Children in Kingston. “People have a perception in their mind of what bikers are and when you are trying to protect a kid and make them feel safe, that perception can work in our favour.”

Guardians of the Children is a biker organization dedicated to protecting victims of

child abuse. Their mandate is to recognize and react to child abuse and educate the public to do the same; serve as advocates to provide strength and stability to families in crisis; and be an answer for an abused child or teen seeking support, courage and protection.

In Kingston, the organization is relatively new and just became an official charter last November.

“Kingston is the only chapter in Ontario,” explained Sweetman. “It was started out of a need to look after abused kids whether that abuse is bullying or sexual abuse or physical abuse. We step in where the agencies can’t. If a kid is scared we will stand in their driveway all night or we’ll do whatever it takes to empower the kids to be kids again.”

Originally, Sweetman was part of a similar group in Kingston called Bikers Against Child Abuse, but that group, originally from

falls within their mandate.

“After a case is approved, the next step is to have a meeting with the kid and we take two members or ‘primaries’ as we call them.

They are the first contacts for the kid,” explained Sweetman. “They are given the primaries’ phone numbers and they can use those numbers 24 hours a day.”

After that initial meeting, the primaries will return with the rest of the group, bring the kid into the ‘family’ and give them a vest with the group patch on it and a teddy bear.

In the visits that follow, Guardians of the Children may organize outings for the child; they may also visit on a regular basis or camp out in the driveway if the kid is feeling scared. Sometimes they also work to provide therapy for the child.

“In some cases the therapy may be hooking them up with a karate class or a soccer league,” said Sweetman. “Whatever we can do to make a kid feel like a kid again and make them feel safe.”

the United States, ran into some cross border issues and had to dissolve. After that, Sweetman contacted Guardians of the Children to see if they could be a fit for Kingston.

“I got a hold of the Canadian ambassador for Guardians of the Children here in Canada and they had everything in place for Canada already,” he said. “We started up and immediately went from having just five members to over 20 now.”

Sweetman saw the need for a group like this in Kingston and since starting late last year, they have already helped a number of kids.

“The problem is rampant and it is everywhere,” he said. “It is all you hear about in the news now and on social media is kids being abused and bullied and it’s just a problem that needs to be addressed.”

Guardians of the Children has strict protocols in place and all of the kids they help are referred to the group by social service groups or caseworkers. Initially, members of the group will meet with a guardian, a caseworker and even police to assess the situation and then they will vote on whether the case

Guardians of the Children work to ‘help kids be kids’ in Kingston Continued from page B4

Guardians of the Children is entirely volunteer run and they are not funded by any outside groups, so they rely on fundraisers to help with the costs of outings, therapies and items like teddy bears and vests.

This year, one of the fundraisers will be a Poker Run on June 12.

“We have an amazing ride set up. The

community has been incredibly supportive and the donations to our silent auction have been amazing,” said Sweetman. “It is going to be a great day. We are inviting members of the community to come down and see what we are all about.”

The event kicks off at the 560 Legion on Montreal Street at 10 a.m. and registration costs $20 a helmet. The ride will begin soon after and then participants will return to the le-

gion for a barbecue, silent auction and raffle.

Sweetman encourages people to come out to the event for a fun time, but also to support local kids.

“We want people to support us for the kids,” he said. “They need us and the community needs us. The more support we get, even in terms of awareness, the more people

know about us and the more phone calls we are going to get; and the more calls we get the more kids we can help and that is what it is all about.”

KP tours: Ticket sales, volunteer opportunities and more News – More information about this summer’s Kingston Pen tours has been announced.

Presented by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, tours through Kingston Penitentiary will offer a rare and unique opportunity to go behind the walls of Canada’s oldest and most notorious maximum security prison, which closed in 2013. The guided tours will provide an up close look at KP, which predates Canadian confederation, as a historical building and a national historic site.

General admission tickets will be sold for $25 per person, plus taxes and fees.

The tours went on sale Monday, June 6. They will operate Tuesday to Sunday, with Tuesdays being local only days. Kingston residents can take advantage of the special Tuesday rate of $20 per person (plus tax and fees).

Tours will run from June 21 to Sept.

4 and will operate every 20 minutes starting at 9 a.m. until the last tour at 7:40 p.m. After that, tours will run on a fall schedule, four days a week from Thursday to Sunday until Oct. 31.

Tickets are available online only at www.kingstonpentour.com.

In an effort to manage inventory and accommodate visitors’ ability to secure tickets, inventory will be released as follows: • 50% of ticket inventory for the season will be released on June 6.

• July 5 – remaining 50% of July inventory released.

• August 2 – remaining 50% of August inventory released.

• September 6 – remaining fall inventory released.

Visitors will be able to purchase a K-Pass including the KP Tour experience along with other Kingston sites such as Fort Henry, sunset dinner cruises and more. The K-Pass program is delivered by Kingston & the

Islands Boatlines – Kingston Tour Trolley.

The Kingston Penitentiary Tours have been made possible through a partnership between the City of Kingston, Correctional Service of Canada and the St. Lawrence Parks Commission who will deliver the tour experience.

SLPC has hired over 30 students to act as tour guides supported by retired CSC employees.

Net proceeds of the tours will support tourism and destination marketing initiatives, as well as youth programs through the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington.

The United Way is also offering volunteer opportunities for locals who would like to help out with the tours.

Volunteers will not be giving tours; they will be helping out on site at different points in the tour with aspects like traffic control.

Our (sometimes) tragic relationship with animals

By Mark Bergin

Recently , Cincinnati Zoo’s dangerous animal response unit shot Harambe, a 17-year-old silverback gorilla, because he had better parenting skills than the biological parents (said tongue-in-cheek). The recent incident at the zoo emphasized the absurd relationship we have with animals, even primates close to us in the

evolutionary tree.

A three-year-old child had somehow made his way inside the gorilla cage, falling off a ledge beyond the viewing point and into water in the enclosure. The initial reaction of the gorilla was to pull the child out of the water and stand him up. Yes, I saw the video where the gorilla next dragged the child through the water, probably just like he would have dragged his own off-

spring. Was he trying to hurt the child or just move him along in the most expeditious manner?

What would have happened if the crowd hadn’t been screaming like a bunch of hostile hyenas. Sheesh, I wonder why Harambe got all agitated with a horde of humans screaming and howling at him. I’ll save my rant against zoos in general for some future column.

As for whether the zoo’s response unit made the right decision, I don’t have the information on hand that they did. Nor do I have their training. They probably erred on the side of caution for the young child. In other words, they probably made the right call. I don’t imagine it was an easy decision for them. That doesn’t mean any of us has to be pleased with the result.

Someone messed up. How on Earth does your 3- or 4-year-old child manage to sneak into the cage of a wild animal without anyone noticing the intrusion in progress.

If it is, in fact, that simple for a child out of a parent’s sight to enter the enclosure of a 450-pound wild animal, then the guidelines at the zoo are inadequate for the protection of beast and human.

puppy mills. Thousands of puppy mill animals end up in pet stores or on the Internet.

Beware of a purebred animal with no registration papers.

Locally, there are groups like Kingston Animal Rescue working for the welfare of animals. The Kingston organization was founded in 2010 and has a special interest in animals ignored by other groups. They take in small animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and rats. They sometimes care for cats or dogs. Kingston Animal Rescue is a registered charity and runs a no-kill rescue.

Thanks to this organization’s efforts, Kingston has one of the most comprehensive pet store by-laws in the country. The by-law restricts the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in Kingston pet stores to shelter or rescue animals.

If you are interested in a rescue animal, you can contact either Kingston Animals Rescue or the Kingston Humane Society.

A good starting point for looking for rescue dogs is Dogs in Canada magazine, which has a special section for rescue dogs.

Rescuing an animal has a twofold benefit. You save an animal’s life, and you gain a companion. Don’t underestimate the joy of living with a wee animal like a guinea pig.

They are amazing and funny little creatures.

Sometimes not much thought goes into obtaining a domestic pet, whether it’s a dog, hamster or rabbit. As for exotics, this shouldn’t even be an issue. There’s no need for anyone to own a non-domesticated creature. In fact, it’s simply cruel to take it out of its natural environment. Why do people do it? Ego. To make themselves feel powerful, unique, significant. They think it will make them stand out. Truth is, it makes them look like pathetic losers with no sense of self.

If you want to be noticed and do something unique, go volunteer at a local hospital, food bank or animal shelter.

It’s important to know as much as possible about the species you want to adopt prior to adoption. What are a dog’s, hamster’s or parakeet’s needs? How long do they live? If you want a dog, do thorough research on the breed (breeds, if mixed). A Jack Russell terrier (they could have aptly been named Jack Russell terrorists? I live with two of them) is a different bundle of energy than a golden retriever or a King Charles spaniel.

That cute little bundle of “Awww!” at the age of eight weeks is not the animal you are going to live with for years. What could go wrong? Watch Marley and Me see how much trouble even a mild-mannered breed like a Labrador retriever can get into.

Emerson chokes on his own joke The two chokecherry bushes just before the West Hill began, were in full bloom. Soon they would be heavy with the little berries and would become jelly. The jars would help fill our cellar shelves, already starting to show the results of Mother’s pickling and preserves.

Not only did I love chokecherry jelly, spread on fresh buttered bread, but I often went to the two trees and popped a few in my mouth, enjoying the tart taste of the little berries.

My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to make

my life miserable, one day told me something that just about ruined my love of chokecherries. “Did you hear what happened to the Kallies boys second cousin, once removed? Well, he ate a handful of chokecherries and took a few sips of milk, and he choked to death.”

I figured I was safe because even though we had an ample supply of milk in the farm, I hated it. I was sure I could smell cow off a glass of milk, and in order for me to get milk into me, Mother had to stir in a spoon of cocoa and a few drops of vanilla. Only then could I get the glass of milk down.

So I wasn’t likely to drop dead from eating a few chokecherries. I assured Emerson if he planned on getting rid of me any time soon, it wouldn’t be from eating chokecherries and then drinking milk!

That afternoon, Mother made

up a batch of jelly from what Audrey and I were able to get off the bushes. The house was full of the wonderful smell of boiling berries.

And then supper was on the table. And there was a bowl of fresh jelly! Emerson was sitting across from me on the bench that ran under the grape arbour window, and he spotted the jelly as soon as I did.

I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but there was no doubt in my mind he was up to something.

The fruit nappies sat in the middle of the table, and Emerson took one and helped himself to a few spoonsful of jelly.

He slathered a good helping of jelly on his slice of buttered bread, and crammed most of it into his mouth. Then he took a good swig of milk. Within seconds his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he started to cough, just like he did

when he had the grip in the winter time.

Mother stayed remarkably calm, and in a voice she reserved for the times when she lost her patience, asked Emerson what was wrong.

“It’s the chokecherry jelly mixed with the milk,” he said, gasping for breath. “I told Mary this could happen and she wouldn’t believe me.”

His face was beet red from the coughing, and he looked like he was going to slide off the bench and under the table.

Everett and Earl, sitting on each side of him, didn’t lose a beat. They kept on eating their nappies of jelly as if their brother’s choking to death was a common occurrence.

Mother finally put down her spoon, and her voice was now the one she used when she was about to give one of us a cuff on the ear.

“So you think it was the jelly, do you?” Emerson could only nod.

“Well that’s mighty strange,” Mother said.

“Because that’s blackberry jelly you’re eating. A bottle left over from last year. The chokecherry jelly has to settle before we eat it.” Everett and Earl both gave Emerson a poke in the ribs, my sister Audrey was laughing so hard she had to leave the table, and Father got up and went to his rocking chair and lit his pipe. “Don’t know what a man has to do to get to eat a meal in peace around here,” could be heard in a voice just above a whisper.

Next chapter in X-Men evolution keeps story fresh, entertaining

By Mark Haskins

As I write this it’s the end of May, and XMen Apocalypse is my fourth superhero movie.

It begs the question, is it too much? The answer is no. No it isn’t.

In 1987 Cairo, an ancient and all-powerful mutant, awakens. He is En Sabah Nur (Oscar Isaac). He ruled ancient Egypt as a god until he was betrayed.

As his feet tread upon the Earth once more he seeks four powerful mutants to be his horsemen so that he may re-make the world in his image.

Humanity will be cleansed so that the strongest can earn their way into a new world made by Apocalypse.

As Apocalypse gathers Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Psylocke (Olivia Munn) and Angel (Ben Hardy) to be his horsemen he needs a

fourth. After the events of Days of Future Past, Eric (Michael Fassbender) has tried to live a normal life. Then when his powers are revealed, his wife and young daughter are killed in the resulting confrontation with the authorities. Eric loses himself in grief and rage making him a perfect horseman for Apocalypse.

Mystic (Jennifer Lawrence) has been living under the radar trying to help mutants who need her. When she hears about Eric she goes back to the mansion to get Charles’s (James McAvoy) help.

Charles uses his powers to find Eric, but Apocalypse is waiting.

Apocalypse comes for Charles, and leaves the mansion in ruins. It falls to Mystic and Hank (Nicholas Holt) along with new recruits, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Quicksilver (Evan Peters), and Nightcrawler (Kodi

MOVIE: X-Men Apocalypse STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Holt, Rose Byrne, and Oscar Isaac DIRECTOR: Bryan Singer RATING: PG

The Canadian Cancer Society is hosting two fundraising evenings at the Thousand Islands Playhouse

Snitt-McPhee) to rescue the Professor and stop Apocalypse.

What I enjoyed the most about X-Men Apocalypse is how Bryan Singer is telling his own story. Without question these movies are heavily influenced by the decades of comic books that came before, but the writers have cherry picked the best elements to create a unique movie universe. The story is intricately woven, and much tighter and cleaner than anything previously imagined. It’s made X-Men new and exciting.

It also helps that movie special effects have reached a point where anything imagined can be realistically and breathtakingly created. It also helps to have actors who can commit to

these roles in a way that not only makes you believe they have super powers, but also that they’re real people. McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence, Holt and Byrne are tremendous. Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Evan Peters, Kodi SnittMcPhee, Olivia Munn, Ben Hardy and Alexandra Shipp are as close to perfect for their roles as you can ask for. Best of all is Oscar Isaac.

Apocalypse is one of my favourite villains and he nails it.

X-Men Apocalypse is the kind of sequel that doesn’t feel like a sequel. It’s simply the next chapter in the story, and a perfect example of why I love this genre so much. Though maybe next week I can do a rom-com.

Home renovations could increase property taxes

If you live in New York’s Nassau County, you are possibly paying some of the highest property taxes in the country. Nassau County residents had an average property tax bill of nearly $8,500 in 2011.

Understanding property taxes is not very cut and dry. They are supposed to rise and fall with home values, but this isn’t always the case.

There is roughly 80,000 pages of federal code on property taxes, and each state and town often has its own rules governing how property taxes are assessed. State and local budget cuts can raise taxes even if your home value remains the same, as will an increase of benefits for public employees. Property tax is typically the primary means that many jurisdictions raise revenue.

So if your community needs money, you can probably count on it financing that need through higher property taxes.

The two things that determine property taxes are the assessed value of your home and the property tax rate for where you live. In many cases, making improvements to the inside and outside of your home can result in higher taxes on your property. Many homeowners do not think about the tax man when they are about to renovate their home.

But it is important to consider that home repairs -- even planting a garden -- could lead to higher property taxes. Although the vast majority of repairs that most often affect taxes include major renovations, there are lesser known repairs that can catch even savvy homeowners by

surprise.

Here is a look at some of the renovations that could raise your property taxes.

• Adding a room: Converting the garage into a bedroom or adding on a new bathroom will increase your home’s value and the property tax you’ll pay on the home.

Although tax assessors don’t usually make surprise trips to your home to check for renovations indoors, they may peruse permits filed at the clerk’s office and then investigate. Permits are the primary way assessors learn about improvements, so much so that some homeowners look to circumvent permits when making renovations. But that can cause a number of problems down the line if and when you decide to sell.

• Pools and outdoor structures: Changes to a home’s exterior are some of the easiest to see and document. Permanent changes outdoors, such as the installation of a shed with a concrete floor, a deck or a pool can definitely increase property taxes.

• Landscaping: Hiring a professional to do your lawn and plants can result in higher taxes. It’s called “alteration of land improvement.” Repaving a driveway or adding a new cement walkway may also increase your home’s value and, subsequently, your property tax bill.

• Fireplaces: The installation of a fireplace can also increase a home’s value, leading to a higher tax bill as well.

How kids can help out around the house

Dual-income households have become the norm, replacing households in which only one parent works. In an analysis of the Decennial Census and the American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample files, the Pew Research Center found that 60 percent of married couples with children under 18 lived in dual-income households in 2012. That’s nearly double the amount of households where only fathers worked, and 10 times the number of households where only mothers worked.

While there are many financial benefits to dual-income households, managing a household in which both parents work full-time can be difficult. Parents who both work full-time have less time to maintain their homes, and few may have the energy to keep up with the chores and cook dinner each night. Involving the kids with helping out around the house can be a great way for parents to instill a sense of responsibility in their youngsters while also taking some of the burden off Mom and Dad. How much kids can help out around the house depends on there ages. The following are a few age-specific chores kids can do to make life at home a little easier on their parents.

Toddlers Toddlers and preschool-aged children might not be able to do too much to lighten their parents’ loads, but simple chores like cleaning up their play areas can make things easier. Make kids responsible for putting their toys away after play time. Kids between the ages of two and three also can help set the table for dinner by laying out placemats, but make sure such youngsters steer clear of utensils.

6- to 9-year-olds First, second, third and fourth graders are old enough to be given more significant chores than they had when they were younger. Kids between the ages of six and nine can be trusted to feed the pets, though parents should teach them the appropriate times to feed pets each day and the correct amount of food to place in bowls so pets don’t overeat. Kids in this age group also can rake leaves and water plants around the house after being taught how to properly water each plant. Folding laundry, dusting furniture and bookshelves and taking out the garbage are a few more tasks kids between the ages of six and nine should be able to handle.

Children 10 and older Kids who are 10 and older can help out in ways that can make parents’ lives much easier.

Such youngsters can clean bathrooms, do laundry, vacuum the floors, and load and unload the dishwasher. Such chores are time-consuming and complex, and parents may want to give older kids allowances or increase their allowances to show their appreciation.

Adolescents Adolescents can be trusted to make simple meals and babysit their younger siblings, saving parents time and money. If adolescents babysit, consider paying them for their time even if they already receive an allowance.

When giving kids additional responsibilities around the house, parents should realize that kids won’t always be perfect when doing their chores.

Resist the temptation to do chores for them, and praise and encourage kids when they do things right.

IS YOUR HOME IN KINGSTON HOMEFINDER.CA

Factors that might hurt a home’s value

Nowadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with.

But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well.

• Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value.

Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers.

• Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster.

• Size and style: Another thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attention-grabber, but that’s not always

8 Kingston Homefinder.ca - Thursday, June 9, 2016

attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle of a street filled with contemporary homes will stand out, but likely for all the wrong reasons. It will likely appear dated and out of place, which is something buyers might not want. In addition, if the home is considerably larger or smaller than the surrounding homes, then this could hurt its value.

• Non-conformity: In many ways, conformity is not considered an admirable trait. But when selling a home, conformity could make the difference between a home selling quickly or remaining on the market for months if not years. When shopping for a home, buyers often shop in certain neighborhoods and towns and might see many different homes within a given ZIP code. Homeowners with homes that don’t conform to others in the area might find it difficult to sell their homes. For instance, homeowners trying to sell a two bedroom home in a neighborhood filled with three bedroom homes might notice their home’s value is not as high as that of surrounding homes, regardless of the neighborhood or how similar the home’s exterior is to surrounding homes.

• Age: Older homes might have character and a sense of nostalgia, but appraisers take age into consideration when determining a home’s value. And buyers tend to lean toward newer homes for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the feeling that newer homes have far more modern amenities than older homes.

When it comes to a home’s value, there are a host of things that could ultimately increase or decrease that value in the eyes of prospective buyers.

Fence etiquette prevents disputes People fortunate enough to own their own plots of land often choose to fence in their pieces of paradise. Fences serve many purposes: to designate property boundaries, keep pets or children contained in a safe environment, corral livestock, offer privacy or add aesthetic appeal.

Although installing a fence may seem like the right idea for you, going about it the wrong way may lead to problems among neighbors, particularly if you live where the houses are relatively close to one another. Some homeowners find fences become the final point of contention among disagreeable neighbors or create tension with a neighbor with whom you previously had a good relationship. Being courteous with fence plans is the way to avoid any animosity along the way.

There are certain things you must do and should do if you plan to erect a fence. Most people find neighbors appreciate being informed of any decisions you are thinking of making to the property that can affect their views or their adjoining property. Before drawing up fence plans with a contractor, talk to the neighbors on either side of your home and gauge their receptiveness to a fence. At this point, you may want to consider offering to make the fencing project a joint deal to save money should the neighbors decide to install a fence as well. Contractors will often discount if they have several customers doing an installation at the same time. Property owners can save by splitting the costs of the shared walls of the fence where their property lines meet.

Explain your case for the fence.

Most neighbors are receptive to the idea if they know the reasoning -- especially if the desire for a fence is not to keep them at bay. It’s hard to protest a fence that is a safety precaution for children. If your neighbor already has a fence, you must ask whether you can connect your fence panels into the support post on your shared side.

Once you notify your neighbors as a courtesy, there are certain steps to take that will prevent any legal disputes down the road. Even the most easygoing neighbor could grow aggravated if the fence is put up carelessly or ends up partially on his property. The best way to prevent this is to apply for a new, professional property survey and have property lines indicated with paint or wood markers.

Each town or city has different regulations with regard to fencing, so it is important to learn the ropes or hire a contractor who is familiar with the rules. It might be illegal to install fences directly on the property line.

The law might require the fence be installed a few inches inward. There also may be rules about how high fences can be in the front of the home, sides and back. Corner lot properties may have added regulations depending on whether the fence could prove a visual obstruction to drivers.

If you live in a planned community, or one with a homeowners’ association, it is your job to find out the guidelines for any home improvements. The HOA may dictate the style, size and maintenance of the fence or may not allow a fence at all.

Once all the details are checked, you may have to apply for a fence permit.

This way the construction of the fence and finished product will meet safety standards, and the area in which you live can provide consistent quality control. If the fence is installed by code, there is little chance it will have to be torn down or changed in the near future. Also, doing it by the

book means that a neighbor can be unhappy about a fence but not have legal recourse to ask you to remove it.

As an added form of courtesy, it is proper fence etiquette to put the “good” side of the fence facing the neighbors’ yards. That means the

side of the fence that doesn’t show the support panels and posts. Remember, it is your fence so you are also responsible for all maintenance of the fence -- on all sides. Just because your neighbor also will be benefitting from your fence, doesn’t mean he will have to care for it.

Things to look for when shopping for your dream home (MS) -- A dream home means different things to different people. To some, an ideal home sits atop a hill and has enough rooms to accommodate generations upon generations of family members. To others, a home small in stature but with views to die for is all a homeowner needs.

While preferences may vary on the home itself, there are a few things buyers of all shapes and sizes prefer when shopping for the home of their dreams.

• Agreeable weather. Vacation home shoppers often prefer year-round warm weather so they know their respite from the cold is never too far away. For example, a locale such as Port St. Lucie, Florida boasts an average temperature of 73.7* F, providing the ideal getaway to snowbound men and women stuck in the throes of winter.

• Affordability. A dream home stays a dream for many people because of the misconception that it is beyond their financial reach. “While a seaside villa in Italy might never be a reality, there are places where it is still affordable to own and maintain a vacation home,” says Andrew Nadalin, President of Pace 2000 Inc. Compared to neighboring counties, St. Lucie County and Martin County represent the piece of South Florida that is still considered affordable.

Endowed with the rich quality of life South Florida has to offer, both St. Lucie and Martin counties also offer and affordable cost-of-living vacationers will appreciate.

• Accessibility of activities. While an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is great, no one wants to escape to a place with nothing to do.

When shopping for a place to buy or

build your dream getaway, be sure there’s plenty of accessibility to popular activities like boating, fishing, diving, surfing, canoeing, or kayaking.

• Proximity to other hotspots. Even if you’re looking for a place to simply

10 Kingston Homefinder.ca - Thursday, June 9, 2016

unwind, a dream home’s proximity to hotspots or other exotic locales never hurts. Port St. Lucie, for example, offers all a vacationer needs to relax and unwind, and it’s only 90 miles from the Bahamas by boat and

a short drive to Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando.

• Proximity to major airports. Unless you plan on living in your vacation home year-round, you’ll want the home to be somewhere that’s close to

major airports. This makes it easier to get to your home and flights won’t be as expensive.

More information on finding your dream home can be found online at www.pace2000homes.com.

784 VICTORIA ST – $255,000 OPEN HOUSE SAT. 2 - 4 PM

New homes are getting smaller From the early 1990s to the beginning of this century, “bigger is better” certainly was the mantra of the home-building industry. All across North America buyers could browse among home developments boasting homes of 3,000 square feet or larger and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. But according to new data, home buyers are seeking less space today but more in green amenities.

Research by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association has found that many people now desire smaller homes with multipurpose rooms and energy saving features. They’re not ready to trade in their two- and three-car garages just yet, though.

Plus, a survey of International Furnishings and Design Association members forecasts that McMansions will become a thing of the past and more emphasis will be placed on smaller, more eco-friendly homes. Family rooms will grow larger, as will kitchens. Other rooms in the home will disappear, including the living room.

Many homeowners and potential home buyers realize that with girth comes a cost. In today’s fragile economy, the ability to cash in on the dream of homeownership may come at the compromise of a smaller, better-planned home.

According to Tim Bailey, the manager of Avid Canada, a research and consulting firm for the building industry, “While many consumers are willing to forgo space, they are not equating this with having to forfeit functionality. Design creativity is requisite to adapt to this changing preference.”

Here are some things that you will and will not find in newer homes moving forward.

• The dining room is becoming extinct, with larger, eat-in-kitchen/entertaining spaces the norm. The kitchen will be the main room of the home and be renamed the “kitchen lounge.”

• Separate rooms are evolving into spaces that

serve many different purposes.

Although the sizes of bathrooms may be scaled back, the amenities will not. Spa-style bathrooms with luxurious products, high-tech features and televisions will be on the rise.

• The master bedroom suite may not shrink in size, but it could be combined to form a home office and exercise space.

• Expect to see more high-tech offerings, such as voice- or motion-activation devices in the home. Lighting, entertainment gear, heating/ cooling systems, and even blinds could be hooked up to a master control system.

• Thanks to an increasing number of people working from home, the presence of a dedicated home office is a given in newer homes.

Nearly 40 percent of industry forecasters say that they expect one in every home.

• Home storage solutions will also be a vital component of new homes. Builders will create clever solutions for mixing storage into more compact spaces.

• With aging Baby Boomers comprising a larger segment of home buyers, expect to see more one-level homes, or at least homes where there is a master suite and the majority of the living space on the first level.

Part of what is driving this trend is the cost of homes in relation to space and the increased interest in environmental conservation. Smaller, more efficient homes require less in terms of heating and cooling energy. They need less furniture, and new materials made from sustainable products help further fuel green initiatives in the building industry. Energy efficient homes are a main priority for buyers. Although the homes may be smaller, they will not be miniscule. And home buyers can expect a host of amenities that will make the smaller size of homes barely perceptible.

Service you deserve, people you trust

How to determine if downsizing is for you As men and women retire or approach retirement age, many opt to downsize their homes. Such a decision can save older adults substantial amounts of money while also liberating them from the hassle of maintaining large homes they no longer need.

Downsizing to smaller homes or apartments is a significant step, one that homeowners should give ample consideration before making their final decisions. The following are a handful of tips to help homeowners determine if downsizing to smaller homes is the right move.

• Get a grip on the real estate market. Downsizing is not solely about money, but it’s important that homeowners consider the real estate market before putting their homes up for sale. Speak with a local realtor or your financial advisor about the current state of your real estate market. Downsizing can help homeowners save money on utilities, taxes and mortgage payments, but those savings may be negated if you sell your house in a buyer’s market instead of a seller’s market. If you think the current market won’t get you the price you are hoping for, delay your downsize until the market rebounds.

• Take inventory of what’s in your house. Empty nesters often find that their homes are still filled with their children’s possessions, even long after those children have entered adulthood and left home. If the storage in your home is dominated by items that belong to your children and not you, then downsizing might be right for you. Tell your children you are thinking of downsizing and invite

them over to pick through any items still in your home. Once they have done so and taken what they want, you can host a yard sale, ultimately donating or discarding what you cannot sell. Once all of the items are gone, you may realize that moving into a smaller place is the financially prudent decision.

• Examine your own items as well. Your children’s items are likely not the only items taking up space in your home. Take inventory of your own possessions as well, making note of items you can live without and those you want to keep. If the list of items you can live without is extensive, then you probably won’t have a problem moving into a smaller home.

If you aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to many of your possessions, then you might benefit from staying put for a little while longer.

• Consider your retirement lifestyle. If you have already retired or on the verge of retirement and plan to spend lots of time traveling, then downsizing to a smaller home may free up money you can spend on trips. And if you really do see yourself as a silverhaired jetsetter, then you likely won’t miss your current home because you won’t be home frequently enough to enjoy it. If travel is not high on your retirement to-do list but you have a hobby, such as crafting, restoring classic cars or woodworking, that you hope to turn into a second profession, then you might benefit from staying put and converting your existing space into a workshop.

Many retirees downsize their homes, but this decision requires careful consideration of a variety of factors.
