Kingston Penitentiary opens its doors to visitors Rob Mooy
For over a century many tried to get out, but now thousands are lining up to get into Kingston’s historic Kingston Penitentiary. The Provincial Penitentiary of the Province of Upper Canada opened in 1835 with the arrival of just six inmates. The facility changed its name to Kingston Penitentiary (KP) 32 years later, in 1867. For the first 99 years both women and
men were incarcerated within its walls. In its early days, some prisoners as young as eight were kept there for crimes as simple as stealing a loaf of bread. Before it was shuttered in 2013, the facility housed between 350 and 500 inmates, plus another 120 at the Regional Treatment Centre contained within the prison. KP was Canada’s oldest prison when inmates and staff finally left for the last
time. The impressive structure has since stood empty, except during a brief time in the fall of 2014, when some 18,000 visitors toured the prison during a series of fundraising tours. This summer, a new series of tours will offer a rare opportunity to go behind the walls of Canada’s oldest and most notorious maximum security prison. “Kingston Pen is a landmark site in Kingston and we can feel the excitement in
the community as they anticipate the start of the tours,” explains Darren Dalgleish, general manager and CEO of the St. Lawrence Parks Commission. “Our team looks forward to delivering an exceptional and memorable tour experience this summer. This initiative is a great example of community partners working together with a common vision to develop a new experience for residents and that will drive visitors to the city.”

2 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, June 23, 2016
Kingston Penitentiary opens doors to public time maximum security prison that used to house some of the country’s most dangerous criminals. Mary Lynn O’Shea worked as an English teacher in the prison school for eleven years until the prison closed. “It was wonderful teaching inside the walls of KP,” says O’Shea who had previously spent 32 years teaching in Ottawa area schools, including a stint as a high school principal. “I needed a change, so I found a note in the paper, came to the meeting and decided I would like to work here. It was a wonderful experience.” The school within the prison regularly had 50-80 students, 12 in her English class. Now retired, she took with her many special memories. “The relationship between teacher and students was very good,” she explains. “School was a haven for the inmates. It was a place they could come and they enjoyed it. Most worked pretty well, and we all had a good time.” It was when inmates worked independently when she most enjoyed her time teaching, talking to and helping each inmate individually with his studies. “But, every so often when I had to talk - because I came from traditional teaching where the teacher talks all the time, which by the way didn’t really work in here – I would every so often say ‘close up your books’. We would talk
for a while. I would try to work some English into it, but it didn’t always happen that way. “We worked without security within the school, and there was a real sense of trust here.” Teaching inmates had its advantages she explains. “I never got a parent phone call or had to cleanup after a student food fight.” At another stop along the tour you may find Jerry Carmichael, a Gananoque native who worked for CSC as a prison guard for 32 years, 10 of them at KP. “I started in 1966, as a grade one guard,” says Carmichael. Later in his career he returned to the prison as a correctional supervisor in 1980. So many things happened within these walls. Most days were like any other, but there were some suicides, attempted escapes, inmate altercations and even an occasional riot, he explains. (Kingston Pen experienced three major riots within its walls, the third and most serious in April 1971) There were good memories as well - mostly, the camaraderie and great support between corrections staff, which kept everyone and everything humming along. Carmichael recalls he was always happy to bid farewell to inmates who had served out their sentence or were on early parole. He remembers taking them to the train, shaking hands with them and saying “goodbye and hope to never see you again. “Fortunately, for some, you never did see them again. Others we would take to the train, shake their hands hoping to never see them
again, and next week they were back entering the prison on the fishline. All part of life inside a prison.” Tours of the prison cell blocks, inmate workshops and recreational grounds will run about 30 times daily every Tuesday through Sunday, June 16 to September 4. Fall tours will operate Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 22 to Oct. 31. General admission tickets will be sold for $25 per person (plus taxes and fees). Kingston residents can take advantage of a special local Tuesday rate of $20 per person (plus tax and fees). Kingston area residents will simply enter TICO#50007364

City fires west-end bridge contractor, reopens Front Road to 4 lanes By Bill Hutchins
News – The City of Kingston has taken the ‘extraordinary’ step of firing the contractor that was hired to complete the Front Road bridge rehabilitation. “We just weren’t getting anywhere so this is the step we’re taking right now,” said construction manager Mark Campbell. And, in a bid to ease the traffic burden on thousands of daily commuters, the city will reopen all four lanes of the crucial west end bridge for the rest of 2016 until another construction company is hired to complete the bridge restoration work in 2017.
“We understand the travelling public’s concerns. We want to give them the rest of the year off and prepare for 2017,” Campbell explained. The drastic action comes about six weeks after the original contractor, Carp-based Lischer Construction, was suspended from the $3.6 million project in a dispute with the city over missed completion timelines and potential cost overruns. The bridge work was supposed to be completed last year but only about half of the work is done. Campbell says the city continued to press Lischer for more details about project timelines and costs, but has not received satisfactory answers.

“It’s unclear right now as to what the claims are from the contractor. That’s what we’ve been trying to do for the last six or eight months.” He admits that terminating the contract is highly unusual. “To protect the city and taxpayers, we’ve taken the extraordinary step of terminating the contractor’s right to continue the work. This has not happened to a road or bridge contract in the past that I’m aware of. It’s a very unusual step.” Lischer is expected to be paid for only half of the contract price, and will also be billed about $50,000 for the temporary repaving work. The concrete bridge will be restored to all four lanes of traffic by June 17. A separate contractor, Coco Paving Inc., was brought in to restore the two lanes that were closed over the north side of the bridge to allow full vehicle access. The city plans to hire another company, through a competitive bidding process, to complete the bridge restoration work next spring. “Returning to complete the work in 2017 will provide time for the City to hire a new contractor, allow for coordination of this project with Utilities Kingston infrastructure work on Front Road planned to commence in 2017, and to minimize the traffic impacts,” said Campbell. Officials insisted that ‘terminating’ Lischer’s contract was necessary in order to protect taxpayers. “The City continues to hold Lischer accountable for its actions. Lischer has not
complied with the terms of its contract with the City. It did not provide the City with a clear schedule for completing the work to the bridge or details about unforeseen costs,” said a city news release. Mark Van Buren, director of engineering, says taxpayers will not be spending any extra money by switching to another contractor midway through the costly project. He says Lischer provided a performance bond at the outset of the work. “Our focus is to get this project finished.” The busy section of Front Road has been narrowed to two lanes causing daily traffic congestion near the Invista plant as motorists slowed to 30 kilometers and hour to drive through the orphaned construction site. The delays also spilled over to other roadwork sites around the city as motorists avoided the Front Road bottleneck, Van Buren explained. The stalled project led to complaint from commuters, and caught the attention of the mayor and other councillors. “I think it’s fair to say there’ve been a lot of concerns. My priority is to restore the traffic flow across that bridge,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson in a recent interview. When the bridgework resumes next spring, presumably with a new contractor in place, it will mark the fourth year for the slow-going construction project Campbell thanked commuters for their patience. “Rest assured that we are doing the best we can. There’s a great deal of work going on, even though it’s not seen on the road.”

Revised downtown ‘Capitol’ condo project faces another public meeting By Bill Hutchins
News – The community remains divided as a developer makes another attempt to build a condominium in downtown Kingston. IN8 Developments has submitted revised plans for its proposed hi-rise atop the former Capitol movie theatre at 223 Princess Street, lowering the size of ‘The Capitol’ building from 20 to 17 floors, and reducing the number of units from 223 to 213. Because of the project changes, the public was given another chance to comment on the proposal on June 16. But some residents believe the developer hasn’t gone far enough to reduce the building’s impact on nearby low-rise heritage buildings.
“I’m really unhappy about what’s happening here. I can’t understand why we keep putting up these monstrosities,” said Judith Hazlett, with the group Vision for Kingston. Hazlett joined a small but determined group on the sidewalk outside the old movie theatre entrance to stage an information picket June 14 in advance of the public meeting. “It’s going to be a shadow on the town. I don’t care how far back they say it’s going to be. It just ruins the atmosphere,” she complained. But not everyone opposes the condo tower, which would front the Queen Street side of the theatre property. Several residents, along with community groups and the downtown business association, say the

Ontario government announces more details about new ferry for Amherst Island By Mandy Marciniak
News – Earlier this year, the Ontario government announced that they would be investing $20 million to build a new ferry for Amherst Island. Details about the new ferry were vague, but on June 15, Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation, took a trip on the current island ferry to provide more information. “Thanks to what we hard loud and clear from the people of these communities last fall, but also thanks to the outstanding advocacy of Sophie Kiwala I am delighted to be here today,” said Del Duca. “This new ferry is great news for this entire area.” Del Duca announced that the process to hire a company to design and build the new ferry will begin this fall and the contract will be awarded in late spring 2017. Designing and building the ferry will take approximately 24 months and once the new vessel is complete, the existing ferry, the Frontenac II, will become the back-up ferry and will also provide support in the event there is an extended unplanned service outage that affects access to Wolfe or Amherst Islands.
The announcement of a new ferry for the is something that is extremely important,” area comes after a very frustrating ‘ferry said Del Duca. “Last fall I heard about the shuffle’ last year.

Mayor of Loyalist Township, Bill Lowry was also on hand for the announcement and couldn’t thank Minister Del Duca enough for his hard work. “We are so thrilled to be not only part of this process, but also to be recipients of this new ferry,” he said. “I have to thank the minister because he is someone who when we originally spoke to him about this issue, we knew he was listening and I truly appreciate all of your work.” The announcement was also rewarding for MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala who advocated for the community heavily during last summers ferry woes. “As the minister said we certainly had and opportunity with the situation with the ferries last summer to really touch base with many islanders about how these changes in transportation affect them,” she said. “I think it is utterly critical to continue to have those conversations and to make sure we are on board with what the community wants and I am so happy to be a part of that.”

How to plan an enjoyable road trip
By Mandy Marciniak
When this column prints, Korey and I will be preparing to take a road trip to Florida. While Florida may not seem like the ideal destination at the end of June, it works with our schedule and, more importantly, it is somewhere Korey needs to go for research for his PhD, so I decided to tag along. We debated for a while about how we would get to Florida, but after looking at flight costs, we decided that driving would probably be the cheapest option and a potentially fun option too. This isn’t the first time I have been in a car on route to Florida; when I was younger my family traveled to the sunshine state almost annually to visit my grandmother as she spent the winter away form the cold. I remember hours in the car listening to Disney soundtracks, playing games with my parents and dozing through the early morning travels. It wasn’t the most enjoyable drive and at times it felt extremely long, but it was always fun. Now, as an adult, I have taken car road trips before, but never something quite this long. So in planning for this trip, I sought some advice from the Internet and others who have made the journey and I came up with a list of ways to make the trip easy and fun at the same time. Make sure your car is ready for the trip too – To me this seems like one of the most important pieces of advice out there. Our car goes in for regular maintenance and, as I
mentioned in my last column, just had quite the overhaul. However, we still called the dealership to see if they recommended any preventative service. They didn’t but we will check things like tire pressure, oil and fluids before we leave. Plan a route – This seems fairly obvious, and with GPS units and Google Maps this can seem redundant, but it is important to make sure that a GPS unit is up to date and in this case has American maps. Book where you are going to stay along the way – We have decided that we are going to stop for a night on the way and instead of just stopping when we feel like it, we are going to book a hotel that is about 10 hours away. This is a good idea because it gives you a goal for the day and it also prevents you from stopping and not being able to find a hotel with vacancy – this happened on a childhood trip and it forced my parents to keep driving. It wasn’t pleasant. Plan ahead with music, podcasts and activities – We are travelling to Tallahassee, so the drive is about 18 hours and will feel a lot longer without some good music and things to occupy the time. Audiobooks and podcasts are also good suggestions to help the hours pass by and they aren’t overly distracting for the driver either. Overall, I think the drive won’t be that bad. Korey and I both enjoy driving and I am actually looking forward to travelling through the Unites States as an adult. And on top of all that, we get to enjoy some nice sunshine and a welcoming pool when we get there, what could be better?
Letter to the editor SING’s back-to-school supplies available August 17 Before we know it summer will be winding down and August will be upon us, when students and parents turn their thoughts towards school. Clothes, backpacks and school supplies – the basics to begin the new school year – will be an additional financial challenge for lowincome families. Parents are well-aware that adequate school supplies can be a huge self-esteem booster for their school-aged children, reducing fears of exclusion and preventing embarrassment. But rising costs are a challenge for low-income families. According to the National Retail Federation’s Back-to-School Spending Survey, the average family with children in grades K-12 planned to spend $635.36 on electronics, clothing and other school needs in 2015. On average, families have spent 42 per cent more on school supplies over the past 10 years, with a total cost of $24.9 billion. Elementary school kids cost the least,

with high school kids nearing the top of the estimates. The amounts are clearly out of reach for parents working low-wage jobs or surviving on social assistance when costs of basic necessities, such as food, energy, and housing are increasing significantly. The stress of trying to do right by their children and measure up to other families simply adds to the anxiety they already experience by being poor. But help is available. For the 16th year in a row, the Social Issues Networking Group (SING) -- a coalition dedicated to improving the social and economic well-being of families -- will be providing school supplies and backpacks for students in the Kingston area. The Social Issues Networking Group (SING) began its Back-to-School program in response to a growing number of requests from parents looking for help from schools, community workers, and others to purchase items for school.

Tragedy in Orlando emphasizes need for stricter gun control in America We were horrified and heartbroken last week at the news of the carnage at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. How could a single person be responsible for taking so many lives and shattering so many others? The news that the killer professed an allegiance to the Islamic State during his spree certainly is not insignificant in this, the deadliest shooting massacre in the U.S. history; however, we must resist the temptation to boil it all down to one particular cause and cast everything in black and white terms. Indeed, the portrait that has begun to emerge of the murderer is one of a person angry at the world - at the LGBT community, at women, at African Americans and nearly everyone else – including himself. His first wife, who had to be rescued by family from an abusive relationship, attested to a violent and unstable person full of hate for the world. But bigotry, intolerance and angry, confused young men are common across all cultures; in only one country does the problem seem to compound with such frequency to have such terrifying results. We believe the time is long overdue for the United States to come out from under the NRA’s thumb and connect the dots. Its political class needs to recognize that there’s a strong correlation between the easy availability of powerful firearms and the tragedies that are befalling the country on an almost daily basis. At this point, it’s worth reiterating that relatively few of the mass shootings – let alone gun violence crimes in general - that have occurred in the U.S. have been ISIS-inspired, while hundreds of others were carried about by more locally inspired deranged individuals. Why not focus upon the means by which these people are choosing to commit these atrocities? Suicide prevention groups have focused on denying suicidal people the means for almost as long as they’ve existed – wouldn’t it make sense to do the same with other potentially unstable individuals? We were absolutely stunned to learn that people on the no-fly list, or who were the subjects of FBI investigations are so easily able to obtain that level of firepower. We absolutely believe the U.S. should institute a ban on all assault style rifles such as the AR-15. Sadly, there are already 15 million of these weapons of war in circulation, so merely banning their sale will not alone take away the threat they pose (absent a recall or government confiscation: a nightmare scenario for a broad segment of the American population). No, fighting against something this deeply ingrained in American culture will take decades of slow, methodical and uneven advocacy; lengthy court battles; and public-service campaigns. The rest of the world is watching and waiting, America. It’s time for your politicians to wake up and join the 21st century when it comes to gun control. Backpacks and school supplies will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on Wednesday, August 17, 10 am to 8 pm, at Crossroads United Church, 690 Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard. Child identifica-
tion of any type is required. For more information please contact Tanis Fairley at tfairley@cogeco.ca Thank you for your generosity and compassion and for helping Kingston families again this year.

‘They had so much life left to live’: Kingstonians come together for vigil supporting Orlando victims By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – Market Square was filled with love, pride, remembrance and light on the evening of June 13 as hundreds of Kingstonians gathered for a vigil to show their support for the LGBT community and to remember the lives lost in Orlando just one day before. Kingston Pride organized the event, but according to chair Daryl Fraser, it was really a whole community effort. “We have a fantastic community here in Kingston,” he said. “Everyone really came together and while we are sad the events in Orlando happened, this is not the first time something like this has happened and we aren’t going to hide from it.” As news broke on Sunday morning about the events at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, many watched in shock. For members of the LGBT community the events were especially difficult to deal with. “It is horrible and I was in shock,” said JeanYves Morin. “Tears keep coming and going and I don’t know what to think and it is hard to do anything else.” Morin had hoped that an event would be organized in Kingston on Sunday night, but was still
grateful that the community came together the following day. “I felt there was an immediacy about it and we needed to come together right away,” he said. “I felt alone last night in my sadness, but I am thankful for tonight. I feel supported and proud of my community.” At the vigil, community members lit candles, they walked around rows of chalk hearts bearing the names of the 49 victims in Orlando and they heard from numerous city officials who came out to support the cause. “It is a sad reality that people in our world today face hatred and threats of violence because of their race, their religion or their sexual orientation or their gender or their culture,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. “But I believe that as we continue to fight together, one person at a time, one day at a time we can build a better world starting right here in Kingston and moving out, a world where hatred and violence are things of the past.” The vigil concluded with a reading of the victims’ names and a group singing of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ and while many had tears in their eyes as they sang, they were also happy to have the support of the community with them “It is everyone’s community and it affects us all and it is part of the greater picture of people,”
said Nicole Darbey. “It is emotional being here, but the representation is overwhelming.” Organizer Keith Bilow was also impressed with the community response and he hopes that an event like this will show members of the LGBT community, now and in the future, that they are safe and supported.
“People need to know that we are standing in support of each other and we are not going to hide or go away,” he said. “We want to make sure that the generation behind us has a safe place to be. There are LGBT teens that are coming up and they need to know that they can live in a safe place and be supported by their community.”

KEDCO Overhaul: Report calls for economic development & tourism run separately By Bill Hutchins
News – KEDCO, the city’s embattled economic development agency, is facing the biggest overhaul since its creation as a tax-funded, non-profit corporation in 1998. But some critics question whether the planned reforms go far enough. After a six-month review, a committee
studying the future of KEDCO’s governance and operating structure is recommending the agency be carved into two separate arm’s length bodies – one responsible for economic development, and the other for tourism promotion. The recommendation stops short of calling for KEDCO’s outright dissolution or to be made a department of City Hall, as some

critics had called for. Under the proposed new structure, however, councillors would wield more control over both agencies that currently have 17 full-time employees. They would report to council and, presumably, continue to receive nearly $3 million in annual municipal tax support. Oversight committees with citizen appointees would also be set up to monitor and ensure transparency and accountability for each group. Coun. Jeff McLaren, who co-chairs the KEDCO review committee, agrees the sweeping changes are needed. “There was no communication. There was no transparency,” he said of the current model. The 82-page draft report, put together with the assistance of consultant MDB Insight, acknowledges it was a “difficult process” to address vocal and conflicting ideas during the review. But committee members believe they have come up with the best way forward with “action-oriented” recommendations. In fact, they’re recommending KEDCO’s reforms and rebranding be in place by early 2017. The group indicated that even though it has no real concerns about the role of Tourism Kingston, it should still be removed from KEDCO’s umbrella and spun off into a separate destination marketing organization with its own board of directors, staff and mandate. The same scenario is proposed to unfold for KEDCO’s economic development arm with a new-look agency to focus on six core responsibilities; -investment attraction and investment aftercare, -business retention and expansion and work with local businesses, -support for small business and entrepreneurs, -support for workforce development, highquality jobs, and skills-building, -support for knowledge industries, young workers, technology transfer from post-secondary institutions, and incubation/innovation enablement, -development, management and marketing of the tourism sector. The report is urging swift action to create the two new organizations, and that a transi-
tion committee should begin work this fall to complete the restructuring process. Its aim would be to; establish bylaws and new articles of incorporation for both tourism and economic development organizations, recruit new leadership, recruit new board members, and scout potential office sites that are more accessible to the public. KEDCO may get a new name, but the rebranding is more than that. “Any rebranding effort will need to encompass a name change that potentially puts a new face to the organization, but, also conveys a culture shift to the public,” the report noted. The recommendations, which will be sent to council for debate June 21, are an attempt to address ongoing complaints that KEDCO is not transparent or accountable for the tax money is receives, and that past job creation and investment targets cannot be validated. Kim Donovan, with the KEDCO watchdog group Friends of Kingston, is not impressed with the outcome. He says the review committee failed to focus on fundamental questions about past spending habits and job results to see if taxpayers got a good return for their investment. “This report has provided exactly what we said it would, which was an attempt to whitewash.” Donovan says it’s hard for an organization to move forward without first having a closer examination of its past practices. “It’s then when a re-branding can be done when we find out if the existing organization has any merit in being reorganized. Otherwise it has to be started from scratch.” The review committee addressed the thorny issue of performance management – an area which speaks to some of KEDCO’s credibility problem - by suggesting the revamped agency could embrace a new model of attribution on how and when to claim credit for jobs created. But the report doesn’t offer a clear recommendation on the best formula to report economic development outcomes to council and the public. Mayor Paterson has said the review committee’s mandate was not to rehash KEDCO’s past actions, but to re-invent the organization based on the experiences of other communities with economic development offices.

Celebrating 175 years: events highlight meeting of the first parliament of the Province of Canada By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – 1841 was a big year for Kingston; not only was it the year Queen’s University and the Kingston Police Force were formed, but it was also the year Kingston became the first capital of the Province of Canada. As part of this new title, Kingston hosted the first meeting of parliament for the new Province of Canada. The meeting took place in what is now the Watkins Wing of Kingston General Hospital and while the official parliament business was taken care of on the following day, June 15, members of parliament met for the first time on June 14. To commemorate these historical events, members of the community gathered on June 14 to celebrate both Kingston and Canada’s history. The day kicked off with a very special unveiling at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre at Queen’s
University. “We have a stained glass window that is believed to have been installed in the main building of KGH and was there when the first meeting of parliament took place in 1841,” explained Alicia Boutillier, curator of Canadian Historical Art at the Agnes. “There are very few known objects from Kingston from that period, so this piece is very special and it helps tell the story of Kingston being the first capital.” The window was acquired by the Canadian Museum of History in the 1960s and has been there since, but the museum was happy to loan it to the Agnes for this very special milestone. “Many Canadians don’t realize that Kingston was once the capital of the united Upper and Lower Canada so it is great to have opportunities like this to remind people of the key role that Kingston has played in our nations history,” said Tim Foran, curator, British North America at the Canadian Museum of History at the unveiling.
“This window also emphasizes the undeniable power that authentic artefacts have to connect us to our history.” The window will be on display at the gallery until Aug. 28 and will also tie in nicely with the current summer exhibits on display, especially the gallery’s ‘Art Scenes Kingston’ display. “That exhibit looks at three decades of the cultural scene in the city including the 1840’s,”
explained Boutillier. “It is wonderful to see what Kingstonians would have been looking at in Kingston at that time and this enhances that exhibit. It is a real honour for us to showcase this piece.” In addition to the stained glass window instalContinued on page 12

lation, members of the Kingston community also gathered in front of the Watkins Wing at KGH on June 14. While the original building at KGH was built in 1835 with the purpose of serving as a hospital, limited funds made operations difficult. The hospital saw its first patients in
1838, but shortly after it closed again. So in 1841, when Governor General Lord Sydenham declared Kingston the first capital, KGH became a fitting location for the house of government. “The goal of the individuals working inside has remained pretty much the same over the past 175 years – to serve the people in the city of Kingston and the country of Canada,”

said KGH Board Chair, Scott Carson. “We hope to continue shaping the history of Canada from these buildings and while no longer through developing states and laws, we look to pioneer innovative healthcare practices and conduct health care research to improve the lives of Canadians.” City officials were also on hand to mark the milestone and MP Mark Gerretsen talked about how he feels representing his riding and its history when he attends parliament in Ottawa today. “It is a very unique sense of pride that the Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands gets to have when you are in Ottawa
because you know that Kingston was really the first capital,” he said. “You get to walk around with a bit of a smirk on your face knowing that your riding was such a huge part of Canadian history.” Mayor Bryan Paterson echoed these thoughts in his own statement and encouraged everyone to feel proud of their city and its history. “We were only the capital for a short period of time and I may be biased in saying this, but I think we did it best,” he said. “We set a high bar for Montreal and Ottawa as the capitals that followed and we should be proud of our city.”

Proposed subdivision on former Nortel lands gets another public hearing News – An Ottawa-based developer has refined plans to transform the former Nortel industrial site at 700 Gardiners Road into a massive subdivision with more than 1,000 homes. In the revised proposal, Taggart Corporation has dedicated space for a school and removed an area for business park uses along Taylor-Kidd Boulevard. The revisions were the focus of another public meeting at the planning committee on June 16. But the rest of the sprawling subdivision plan remains unchanged. “The applicant is proposing to develop a subdivision with a mix of uses including high, medium and low density residential uses (total 1,018 residential units); commercial uses; a school and two public parks,” according to an information report by planning director Paige Agnew. The developer is seeking a raft of zoning and Official Plan amendments to convert the demolished Nortel factory, located on 40 hectares of land Nortel Draft concept behind the RioCan shopping centre, into a residential subdivision. The changes would turn the industrial lands into a new ‘housing district’ to permit a variety of high, medium and low density residential, as well as, a shopping centre, institutional and open space uses. Here’s what Taggart, through its residential arm Tamarack Homes, is proposing; -three, 12-storey apartments with 450 rental
units, 234 single-family houses, 184 row houses and 150 apartment units for seniors, -5.2 hectares of land to be set aside for a potential new school, -5 hectares of new land for commercial uses, -creating two public parks. Consultants hired by Taggart have completed numerous studies - including urban design, traffic impact, market demand and impact assessment and environmental assessment - to justify the housing development. In addition to housing, the developer is seeking a ‘District Commercial’ designation to provide for the commercial service needs of the neighbourhood, including such uses as a grocery store, convenience store, post office, bank, restaurant and daycare centre. “The proposed development represents an increase of only 1 per cent to the existing retail and service commercial space in the City. It is not expected to negatively impact surrounding retail areas or the central business district,” according to the consultant’s findings, which must still be peer reviewed by the city. Consultants also claim that converting the industrial site into housing will not have a negative impact on the city’s overall supply of ‘employable’ land, noting the 500,000 square foot Nortel plant was vacant for over a decade and there was no interest in purchasing it for other

forms of manufacturing. The building has since been demolished. “The property is also underutilized in the sense that it is generating a fraction of the property tax revenue that such a large area would generate as other uses.” Increased traffic is another concern that the developer addressed in studies, noting the vast subdivision will have several new road connections to Taylor Kidd Blvd., Bexley Gate, Wheathill Street, Swanfield Street, and through existing roads into the adjacent RioCan power centre. Meanwhile, Taggart is also asking the city to designate the entire site as a brownfield in order to qualify for municipal tax breaks, clean-
up grants and other incentives. A report prepared by Fotenn consultants, on behalf of Taggart, says the old Nortel property has been scarred by years of contamination and it’s a perfect candidate for Brownfield clean up incentives. The city’s Brownfields policy states: “The financial incentives are intended to mitigate the costs associated with rehabilitating and developing these properties and buildings as viable alternatives to greenfield development.” While city planners haven’t yet made a recommendation on the subdivision plan, they are asking the planning committee to support the site’s brownfield designation.

the festival, it’s going to grow as the neighbourhood grows to offer yearround programming,” Tilson says. “So you’ll see a lot more of us. The timing is right, the neighbourhood is really blossoming, and now we have an organization that can show it off.” In addition to featuring big names like Sloan, much of this year’s festival is indeed focused on the neighbourhood itself. The opening day (Wednesday, June 22), for example, will feature a free barbeque and concert with the popular band Lost Cousins in Douglas Fluehr Park. “It’s kind of significant that we’re choosing that location,” Tilson notes. “[The future of the park] is a political topic. There’s a visioning process going on called the North King’s Town Visioning exercise, and City planners are seeking vision statements from the surrounding neighbourhood about what’s needed for the future of this neighbourhood and the park.” City planners will be on hand to gather feedback from the public at the event. Other neighbourhood-focused highlights: a Daybreaker Dance Party on the Wednesday at Central Public School; a live aqua music fitness event with Sheesham and Lotus and Son at the Artillery Park pool on the

15 LOUIS STREET, BROCKVILLE 1-800-267-4432 613-342-4791 16 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, June 23, 2016
Kingston’s oldest nun - that title belongs 102-year-old Sister Anne Louise Haughian - but having entered the sisterhood at the young age of 17, Anna is the longestserving living sister. She’s also close to breaking the record for the longest-serving sister of all time. So how does she feel about these milestones? “I don’t know whether there’s anything special to it,” says Sister Anna, who’s still remarkably sharp for a centenarian. Part of the secret, she explains, is to continue to exercise your mind, which she does by reading voraciously (mostly murder mysteries) and playing cards and word games. Rumour has it she also has a penchant for speed: the settings on the scooter she uses to get around had to be turned down because she was zipping about the grounds of the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul too fast. Anna spends a lot of time calling on her fellow sisters. “We have a lot of disabled people,” she says. “I go to their rooms and visit them.” One of her favourite people to visit is Sister Aileen Donnelly, a good friend and the only one still around from Anna’s early days as a nun. While 99-year-old Aileen doesn’t have the health of Sister Anna, she always recognizes her old friend. “The first thing she says is ‘we go back a long time don’t we’,” Anna says. “Once in a while she’ll have a day where she’s so bright, and we’ll talk about all the things we did when we were young.” So what was it that inspired 17-yearold Anna to join the sisterhood in the first place? While her family was religiously inclined, nuns were not an everyday part of life in the rural area of Ontario where she grew up. She notes that she always dreamed of travelling to Toronto to con-
Sister Anna Moran at the Providence Motherhouse on the eve of her 100th birthday. Behind her stands the only tree on the property that is older than she is. Photo/Hollie Pratt-Campbell tinue her education, then having a large family. But first, she moved from her family’s farm in the Hastings Highlands to Trenton in order to take a job and save money. There, she met a girl who was getting ready to travel to Heathfield in Kingston to become a nun. “She was a wonderful girl and belonged to a wonderful family,” Anna recalls. “She was to come here to Heathfield on Aug. 15, 1932, but in June she and a group of her friends went swimming in the bay. She struck her head on a rock and she was killed.” Shortly after, a young boy who was a mutual friend met Anna on the street. “He said, ‘Anna, you’ve got to go and take her place’. And that was the first time I ever thought of it.” Three months later, the boy died in a
car accident. “I’ve thought ever since that he lived to tell me that,” she says. “I firmly do believe that. He got me in here and that was it.” Anna has lived a full life with the Sisters of Providence. In her early years, she finished high school, attended teachers’ college and earned a degree from Queen’s. She enjoyed a long career as a teacher, which began at a small school in Apple Hill, Ontario. Over the years, she taught at schools in Gananoque, Smiths Falls, Kingston, Belleville and Brantford, and served as a vice principal in Camrose, Alberta and later principal at an elementary school in Trenton. Anna notes that several of her former students live in the area and sometimes come to visit her at the Motherhouse. So what has Anna learned in her 100 years of living? What advice does she have for young people today? “I think they all have to follow their own inspirations,” she says. “Just live your life one day at a time and do as the spirit inspires you.” In choosing to become a nun, Anna dedicated her life to the rule of her congregation and the mission of The Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul: to empower the vulnerable through compassionate service, advocacy and networking and share spiritual, human and financial resources to promote justice and peace for all creation. She adds that she’s also come to realize that people in general are good, and she sees this goodness every day in her fellow sisters. While the sisters’ numbers may be dwindling, Anna says she continues to draw inspiration from the women around her, who now include sisters from the Congregation of Notre Dame and the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph. “We’re never finished,” she says. “We have wonderful sisters - wonderful, wonderful women. We’re all getting old and everybody is just as sincere about everything they’re doing…I’m amazed that people so old as we are can keep it up.”

would be operated. “ The focus of this CAG meeting is to look at (docking) alternatives so that we can refine the positive and the negative options and make a decision.” Participants were invited to rank ( not rate) the impacts of the alternatives based on environment transportation and finally cost. Some one asked, “Under cost we are assuming the fee schedule is the same as it is today” to which meeting facilitator Glenn Pothier, replied “that’s the assumption.” Hershfield’s Edward Yi outlined the docking scenarios (including Kingston) The SS 4 option : (Dual Ferry Operations-Year Round Access to Marysville), drew many questions related to Marysville businesses and what ferry goes where, when? What SS4’s “year round access” means in this case is the proposed docks can receive whatever ferry comes to Marysville. Dual ferry operation means one ferry operating from Marysville and one from Dawson Point. MTO will determine what will serve the community best. The docks will provide the flexibility for 140 cars per hour. “We are looking at the new vessel’s power specifications at the same time, so that we can maintain the hourly schedule.” Heather Roebuck noted the extra dock in Marysville for ‘emergencies “so there is always an operational ramp available. It is our hope never to use it. If we don’t build it now it is never going to happen.” CAG members and observers studied the ferry dock scenarios for Marysville, Dawson Point and Kingston, offering yea’s or nays, suggestions, ideas and possible changes. All feedback, received will be evaluated based on the criteria leading to the technically preferred alternative. One note stated, “save
the Kingston terminal.” To a budget question, MTO’s Tina White said, “the government has funded this project. We are working with a naval architect so, as we do boat specs, we are sure our docks will accommodate and vice versa. Building a boat is a design build process different from the dock improvement process. The goal, is complete integration of all the vessels, Frontenac 2, a new 40 car ferry and the proposed 75 car ferry”. Mayor Doyle noted feedback he was receiving was concerned with costs. And so it went.. The 2nd PIC is tentatively set for winter 2017. NB- The Project Team is anxious to hear from the public..

Local author Liz Strange has been selected by Women in Film & Television (WIFT) as one of the participants in its 2016 Development Incubator program in Toronto. The program supports market-driven feature films and a new generation of Canadian feature film professionals. Strange is teamed with producer Donna Davies of Ruby Tree Films of Nova Scotia. About a year ago, Strange reached out to Davies in hopes of finding a producer. “I cold-called her when I was researching and trying to find independent Canadian producers willing to look at screenplays,” said Strange. “She was wonderful when she got back to me. She read five of my screenplays and liked them all. We settled on Thicker Than Water. It’s based in a modern setting and wouldn’t be a big budget film. Genre works usually have huge budgets.” For the past year, Strange and Davies were communicating back and forth, working to get people on board.

The 2016 Development Incubator program is a four-day intensive event where filmmakers are aligned with people from the film and TV industries. From June 21 through June 24, participants work with distributors, script editors and producers from the industry.
“This will give me the inside scoop,” said Strange. “They give this opportunity when they think you’re ready to do it.” She said the screenplay for Thicker Than Water is a raw look at life, but it also has a humorous side. Continued on page 8

“It’s a true indie drama that focuses on the LGBT community,” said Strange. “It’s really a look at life, with some funny moments. It’s about relationships. No one thing inspired it. I’m a big LGBT supporter. I always have been.” She explained that Thicker Than Water is about a man in his early 30s who is hiding the fact that he is gay from his family. He has a younger sister who overdoses and dies. Her younger daughter is thrust back into the man’s life. The precocious 12-year-old girl has been exposed to a lot of inappropriate things in her life. Her grandparents can’t handle her, and she ends up spending time with her gay uncle. “A lot of it comes down to dialogue,” said Strange. “The guy is an average, middle class Joe. The man and his niece see each other’s lies. The girl calls him out on it. There are some really funny and touching moments between them. I think it’s a really good story, one of those ones that does really well with audiences and critics on the festival circuit.” Strange does not typically write traditional dramas, as she prefers to focus on horror and science fiction, although she has written a couple of action screenplays. She thinks the timing could be good for Thicker Than Water. “There’s a real turn in the screenwriting market because of an oversaturation of big splashy superhero movies,” she said. “There is not a lot of drama or even art pieces.” Strange said she loves to watch artistic works with great performances and cinematography. Women in Film and Television has support
from NBC Universal and Telefilm Canada. If things are tough for women on screen, often limited to “cute” or “provocative” typecast roles, they are equally bad behind the scenes. According to Karen Ward Mahar, author of Women Filmmakers in Early Hollywood, in the early 20th century around the 1910s women were fully accepted in every aspect of the film industry. At that time, film very much existed within a theatrical framework with an egalitarian culture where men and women were each involved in the same types of jobs. Women worked as writers, directors and producers. But within ten years, everything had changed. By the 1920s, exhorbitant star actors’ salaries and huge movie budgets led to the development of the studio system, which became a reflection of the American business scene, with a resultant masculinization of the power in the industry. As movies became big business, women were cast to the sidelines and to roles onscreen that exploit physical characteristics. Not a lot changed over 100 years. No woman was even nominated for a directorial Academy Award until Lina Wertmuller in 1977. It wasn’t until 2008 and Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker win that a female director finally received an Academy Award. Organizations like Women in Film and Television (WIFT), a global organization with more than 40 chapters, and Women Make Movies (WMM) are working to change the scene for women in the industry. This year they’ve selected Liz Strange for their screenplay development program. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

Mary learns there is always something to be done in the household Mary Cook
COLUMNIST editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Sitting on a straight-back kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better. It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception. All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play. And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times. Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and piecrusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb. My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long day ahead of me. Making me even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey were completely ignoring me and the long sighs. Finally, I could stand it no longer, and that’s when I made my mistake. I said, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Without taking her eyes off the piecrusts, Mother said, “Wonderful. We’re getting low on dishcloths. Get the ball of string out of the cupboard, and knit up a dish cloth.” Well! That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job
was as boring as sitting with nothing to do. And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul! “Well?” Mother said. It was more of a command than a question. I was in charge of all the string that came into the house. Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string. It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard. I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair. Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square. Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches! The dishcloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small hanky! My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table. I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon! After about 10 minutes I was almost asleep in the chair. This was more boring than having nothing to do! Finally I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later. Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well, I would never get back to the knitting. ‘You know what I think about quitters,” she said, never taking her eyes off the
filled pies. Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it. She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags, which would serve as tea towels. Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making. “Mary would you come over here please? I think this apron is too long for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.” She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again. Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it. For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model. Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for size. Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer. She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles. I learned a lot that day. I learned that my sister Audrey loved me, and I learned that you never, ever, said to Mother, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Upper Canada Village: A time machine to the past Continued from page 6
On the Saturday (August 20) in the fair grounds, the Iron Pan competition is returning. «It›s set up with four chefs we invite from Ottawa, Cornwall and Kingston,» said Le Clair. «Each chef gets a mystery box of ingredients. There›s a pantry stocked with fresh ingredients, many from our own gardens. The chefs choose what they want from the pantry and then they›ve got 30 minutes to cook. There are mirrors overhead, so people can keep walking around and see what each chef is doing. These are chefs with amazing skills.» Le Clair said there are other food opportunities throughout the weekend. Each is connected to the 19th century. The bakery will be using its wood-fired ovens. There›s a beehive oven near Cook›s Tavern, where a chef from Cornwall will be creating artisan pizzas using Village heritage ingredients. The pizzas will be baked in the wood-fired oven then offered to visitors who want to purchase their heritage meal on the spot. Also on the August 20 and 21 weekend, in the Village fairgrounds you›ll find a farmers› market with regional food, wine and beer vendors.
Willard’s Hotel Restaurant will be featuring a Food Lovers’ Special over the weekend. Reservations are recommended for Willard›s (make your reservation by calling 613-543-0660.) All of the things mentioned above are in addition to Upper Canada Village›s ongoing programs and attractions. After decades of visiting this site, I›m always thrilled to be there. The slow pace and quiet atmosphere lend themselves to personal or family relaxation. At the same time, exciting programs are offered daily. If you visit Upper Canada Village, there›s a reciprocal deal with Fort Henry. When you get your ticket at UCV, you›ll get another ticket to come another time, or you can use your second day to visit Fort Henry sometime before September 4. Likewise, when you visit Fort Henry in Kingston, you can use your reciprocal ticket to visit Upper Canada Village. There is so much going on at Upper Canada Village, so keep your eyes on this column later in the season for another story about upcoming events at the historical setting, one of Canada›s finest tourist sites.

Wolfe Island Historical Society awarded for excellence by Margaret Knott
News - Since its inception, the Wolfe Island Historical Society has played an important role in the community bringing to light the many stories of the island’s people , their lives, their history and the situations that one previously could only imagine island communities like Wolfe and Simcoe Islands could tell. Recalling the day the Society was born is easy. An invitation went out to the community inviting anyone interested “in forming a historical society” to a meeting at the General Wolfe Hotel. It came from a relatively new resident , the late Victoria Stewart, and Theresa Broeders . “Vicki” , a Canadian history enthusiast was fascinated with Wolfe Island’s stories. Theresa (MacDonald) Broeders, is island born and raised. And people came. They too interested in island history. An executive was formed and plans for the future were discussed. Named to the executive: President-Captain Brian Johnson; Vice President-Hank Connell; Secretary, Vicki Stewart; Treasurer Brian MacDonald. John O’Shea, and Donna Ivy were among others attended. The proposed mission of the society was “ to protect, promote and preserve the heritage of Wolfe Island.” The immediate areas of interest , which remain
today, included genealogy of island families and general island history. Now also included is accumulating heritage items for the “Old House “ Museum which itself came about in the intervening years, as well as the WIHS’s wonderful publication ‘Windword’ and its many,“ WIHS Presents” events. Recently WIHS president Hank Connell called to say the WIHS was to receive the annual Scadding Award of Excellence, from the Ontario Historical Society at their AGM at Queens Park, Toronto on June 11th (The WIHS was recommended for consideration by Islander Ken Keyes). Here follows what was read by Rob Leach (OHS) on that occasion: “The Ontario Historical Society is pleased to present the 2015 Scadding Award of Excellence to the Wolfe Island Historical Society. The Award is presented to a historical society or heritage group that has made an outstanding contribution to the field of history. The WIHS was founded in 2005 by a small, but dedicated group to protect, preserve and promote the heritage of Wolfe Island. The Society, in cooperation with the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, has focussed on the Island’s history because of its prominence in lumbering, shipbuilding and transportation. The Society has made
significant contributions to the history of Frontenac Islands and is a well Historical Society is truly deserving of of the Great Lakes through its lecture respected and much-visited facility. the Ontario Historical Society’s 2015 series, the restoration of heritage (Old House Museum).

Converting garages into livable spaces Many people decide to upgrade from their apartments or condominiums out of a need for more space. But even after moving into a new home, homeowners may soon begin to outgrow the room they have. Rather than looking for a new home, some homeowners consider expansion. Expanding a living space can be expensive, and a more affordable option may be converting existing basement or garage space into something more livable. Garages already are built on a foundation, have four walls and a roof overhead, so a garage-conversion project is merely a matter of turning this utilitarian area into a living space. Before beginning the renovation, homeowners should consider the benefits versus the cost of converting the garage. For those who are planning to grow old in a house, a garage conversion can be a worthy investment. But those who intend to sell their homes rather than retire in them may learn that a converted garage can affect home value and make it less desireable at resale. Compare your home to others in the area and see what your neighbors have done. If converted garages are the norm where you live, your own renovation may fit in with others. Always apply for the proper permits and learn the zoning laws to see if a garage conversion is acceptable in your town or city. It’s best to go by the book so that work can be done in a proper manner and be inspected for safety. Many homeowners hope their garage-conversion projects will make their garages seem like a seamless part of the rest of the house. To do so,
you will need to remove evidence the space was once a garage. Slab floor will need to be raised and insulated. Walls also will need to be insulated and finished to improve comfort and soundproofing. Many garages do not have windows, so for the garage to function as a renovated space, windows may need to be added.
One of the biggest transformations will come by way of modifying the garage door entry. Some homeowners prefer to leave the existing door so that the home still has the appearance of a garage from the curb, while others remove the garage door and rebuild the exterior wall so that it has a window or another architectural el-
ement. An architect can help suggest design elements that will camouflage the original garage look and make the space seem like it was always part of the main living area of the home. Landscaping work also can minimize the appearance of an old garage. Rather than having the driveway end at the wall of a home, shrubbery, pav-
ers and other techniques can blend the garage renovation into the rest of the yard design. Transforming a garage into a living space can add several hundred square feet to a home. Hire a reputable contractor and follow the municipal guidelines for modifying the space to ensure the job is done right.

Exterior painting pointers
A fresh coat of paint on a home’s exterior can give a property a vibrant new look. Whether you decide to go with a bold new color or repaint a house in an existing color, new paint can add some life to the exterior of your home. Summer has long been considered the ideal season to paint home exteriors, but advancements in technology have made it easier to paint home exteriors later in the year. According to paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams, traditional latex-based paints need temperatures above 60 F to cure properly. Sherwin-Williams also notes that one of the more common mistakes homeowners make when painting their homes’ exteriors is to paint during times of the year when temperatures fluctuate greatly between the days and nights. When nighttime temperatures dip considerably lower than they were in the afternoon, dew will form and the paint can stop coalescing. When that happens, moisture gets into the uncured paint and surface staining and adhesion problems may result. So even if the temperature is a comfortable 60 F during the day, homeowners should avoid painting if the nighttime temperatures figure to drop considerably. In addition to choosing the right time of year to paint, consider the following painting pointers to ensure your home’s exterior gets the fresh look you are aiming for. • Monitor weather reports. It’s not just the temperature at night after you paint that should be monitored. Sherwin-Williams advises that the temperature should be in the suggested range and above the dew point for at least 48 hours

after application so the paint film can form properly. So applying a fresh coat of paint on a beautiful autumn Saturday is not ideal if Sunday figures to bring the first hints of winter. • Don’t skimp on quality. Some paints are cost more than others, and homeowners working on a budget may be tempted to choose the least expensive option available. While price and quality are two different things, it’s important that homeowners avoid choosing a paint solely because it is the least expensive option. Research paints before buying a particular one, emphasizing quality over cost. Today’s paints last longer than the paints of yesteryear, so you likely won’t need to paint your home’s exterior again for a long time. A budget-friendly yet low-quality paint will not only make your home less appealing, but you will likely need to paint again sooner than you will if you go with a higher quality paint. • Don’t paint to cover up a problem. Rotting wood or siding is unsightly, and some homeowners think paint can cover up such a problem. But paint will not stick to rotten wood and siding, and the problem will still be noticeable after you paint. A fresh coat of paint is not the solution to rotten wood or siding. Consult a professional contractor if your home is experiencing such a problem. A fresh coat of paint on your home’s exterior can be a great way to improve your home’s curb appeal. But it’s important homeowners follow some of the same rules the pros adhere to when painting the exteriors of their homes.

How to clean and Home trends to expect maintain stainless steel in the year ahead
R001
No matter the style of a homeowner’s kitchen, be it modern, traditional or farmhouse, stainless steel appliances can add a pop of shine and a touch of class. Proponents of stainless steel appliances note their easy maintenance, stylish look and durability. Plus, the neutral tone of stainless steel helps it blend in with just about any color palette. Stainless steel is lauded for its strength and resistance to corrosion and rust. These attributes make it a popular choice in kitchens, where moisture is an issue. Although they are certainly durable choices, stainless steel appliances require maintenance to keep them looking and performing at their best. Considering that stainless steel also costs more than other finish options, taking the time to learn proper care can help protect homeowners’ investments. • Avoid chlorine bleach or other products containing chloride. Although stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it is not completely impervious. Chlorine products can damage the surface of stainless steel appliances and stain them if the chlorine is left to sit. • Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasives on the stainless steel because such products may scratch the steel. Steel wool pads can leave behind a residue of small metal particles that may eventually rust. • Baking soda mixed with a little dish soap can be used to remove some tough dirt and stains. Rinse well and towel dry to avoid streaking.
• Clean and wipe the steel in the direction of the “grain.” Usually this means working from the top of the appliance and moving down toward the floor. • Consult with the owner’s manual before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning. The appliance may have a special coating over the stainless steel to help protect it, and it’s best to know what you’re dealing with before getting your hands dirty. • If you will be trying a cleaning product or scouring method, always test it first in an inconspicuous spot to see if it is effective or harmful. • Julien, a leader in commercial kitchen equipment, recommends applying cleansers with a soft cloth or sponge. Then wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth or allow to air dry. Stainless steel remains a popular material in kitchens for sinks and appliances. With care, stainless steel can look like new for years to come.
Trends in home remodeling and decor tend to come and go. Something that is popular for a little while can fall out of favor when the next new idea comes along. New trends are always on the horizon, and 2016 may encourage homeowners to try something new. • Metallics and metals are back. Although stainless steel accents in the kitchen have long been popular, the glistening look of metal and metallic shades are back in a big way. Inspired by the 1950s and 1970s, brass, gold and metallic finishes are popular right now. • Texture: Texture is a big component of interior design. Furniture and accessories featuring faux fur and natural fibers are becoming popular. Pieces adorned with cozy materials can seem more inviting. Organic shapes, such as tables looking like the tree trunk they were cut from, also are expected to become more popular. • Artisanal touches in accessories: It’s all about getting back to basics, with homeowners desiring pieces that are one-of-a-kind and handmade rather than mass-produced. Expect to see more accessories that are made by hand or in small batches, like pottery or handwoven textiles, as homeowners are increasingly turning to independent artists and artisans when decorating their homes. Homeowners can even support independent artists when choosing art for their homes. For example, YourArtGallery.com provides an online marketplace for artists to showcase and sell their work, and buyers looking to support independent artists can rest easy knowing that 90 percent of all image royalties go directly to the artist, a stark contrast to the roughly 50 percent offered by more traditional galleries. • Fabric on the walls: Walls also will be covered in texture and pattern. Textiles will increasingly turn up on walls and in places they haven’t traditionally been seen. Patterns may lean toward floral, tropical and indigenous artisan weaving designs. • Pinks and blues: Expect to see pale pink and blue in various design applications. The Pantone Color Institute® released a blending of two colors, Rose Quartz and Serenity, as their 2016 Color of the Year. This has impacted color trends through all areas of design — including home touches. These colors pair well with mid-tones, like browns and greens, as well as the increasingly popular metallics. • Smart homes: Technology is changing the way people look at their homes. Water-resistant music systems for the bathroom, wirelessly operated Bluetooth devices that turn on lights or appliances from a smartphone and even fixtures that use technology to self-clean are turning up more and more. Home decor trends are always changing, adding new life to homes and keeping armchair interior decorators on their toes
