Kingston Heritage – The sprawling provincially-owned land on King Street West near Portsmouth Avenue could get much more than a new hospital. Provincial officials are seeking zoning and subdivision approvals to construct hundreds of housing units along the northern and eastern boundaries of the property. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea to do that. It makes a lot of sense,” said Coun. Brian Reitzel, who sits on the planning committee. The committee held a public meeting on the application June 19, but won’t decide on how to proceed for several weeks yet. Infrastructure Ontario owns and manages 752 King Street West, known as the Kingston Provincial Campus. The site includes the new Providence Care Hospital that’s currently under construction, plus existing buildings such as Beechgrove complex, Rockwood Villa, Penrose Asylum and other vacant or occupied 19th century historic buildings, along with open space and natural heritage areas. But the government has a much bolder vision for some vacant portions of the 49 hectare (122 acre) property. “The applicant is proposing to re-designate the lands to permit institutional, open space, low, medium and high density residential, and mixed use commercial/residential develop-

ment,” according to a report by acting planning director Sheldon Laidman. Most of the institutional buildings are located in central and western portions of the waterfront site, but the proposal is to build housing on the spacious front lawn facing King Street West and down the eastern perimeter that borders homes of Portsmouth Village. Some of the 549 housing units would range from two to eight storeys high, and four new residential streets would also be developed in the proposed subdivision. The development plan does not come as a shock to city officials since the rezoning and subdivision proposal reflects policies that were already part of the city’s Official Plan, the blueprint that guides planners and developers. “This property is identified as vacant land with future potential residential development in the Official Plan,” said Laidman. The housing plans were first submitted in 2012, but an urban design study is now ready for the planning committee to review. The study, by Fotenn Consultants, says the timeline to develop three housing blocks of prime west end land would be based on market demand, water/sewer servicing capacity and further consultations. Officials say the future development will only occupy mostly vacant areas of the Provincial Campus, while protecting and conserv-

Kingston moves ahead with turtle fence funding partnership By Bill Hutchins Reporter
Kingston Heritage – You could say turtle power has taken over Kingston. City councillors and the community have formed a unique partnership to save turtles from crossing a well-traveled Kingston road. Councillors voted unanimously to spend $61,200 to install a low-rise, chain link fence beside marshland along Princess Street at the CN Rail overpass. It’s a busy roadway and also a death sentence for dozens of turtles each season, many listed as species-at-risk. “We can’t do turtle protection on every road that crosses a wetland,” said Coun. Lisa Osanic, recognizing the high cost of fencing. But councillors, citizens and wildlife experts say the Princess Street fence is an important first step to begin protecting Kingston’s turtle population. The city’s support comes with a catch: the community must raise half of the fence money. So far, grassroots donations to the newly-formed group, Turtles Kingston, have reached $22,000 towards a goal of $31,000. Wildlife rehabilitator Susan Irving was at council June 17 to present a $251 cheque to help the cause – the first of many cheques the city will be receiving. The money was raised by Grades 4 and 5 students at Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys
Catholic School on Waterloo Drive, one has not been set, but Coun. Osanic expects of four elementary schools where young it could happen by next spring – a time students held lemonade and bake sales and when mature turtles cross roads in search other donation drives. of nesting grounds. “They want to become protectors of She is buoyed by the strong and swift the environment,” declared Irving of the response to the city’s initial appeal. youth involvement. “I think the public is telling us someIndividual and business donations have thing,” she said, referring to the need for also contributed to the community drive. protective fencing along a stretch of PrinEven though the donation deadline to a cess Street. special TD Canada Trust ‘Turtles KingsThe marshland is a well-known turtle ton’ account is June 30, the group will still breeding area, but it’s also a high road kill be accepting donations through the Kings- risk.

Pathways to Education celebrates first graduating class By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Heritage News - For the last four years, La Salle Secondary School student Alyx Amaral has attended Pathways to Education sessions every Monday and Wednesday during the school year, where she was provided with tutoring and a quiet space to study. On June 20, Amaral was one of 66 students to graduate as part of the first ever Pathways to Education Kingston graduating class. “[Without Pathways] I probably wouldn’t have graduated high school, or I would have graduated with marks in the 50s and 60s,” Amaral said. Instead, she had an 80 per cent average as of this semester’s midterms and is heading to Loyalist College in Belleville in September to learn how to be a mechanic. “I procrastinate a lot and at home I don’t really have a place to work on homework and stuff because I have siblings and it’s always loud,” she explained. “Here it’s quieter and they help me get right to work and not push things to the side.” Pathways to Education Kingston was founded in 2010; it is available to any high school student
who lives in either the Inner Harbour or Rideau Heights neighbourhood. “It’s great that it’s in this area because I know a lot of people struggle with high school, so it’s great that the people who need it get it,” Amaral said, adding that she’s learned many lessons – academic and otherwise - over her four years of attending Pathways. “I learned that there’s always someone who can help, whether it’s with school work or family issues. There’s always someone you can talk to about everything.” Pathways to Education program manager Wendy Vuyk noted that the graduation of the first group of students is a very emotional occasion, and that it feels as though she has 66 kids of her own graduating. “It’s so exciting and so rewarding when we think of the progress the students have made and their accomplishments in the past four years and to see so many of them graduating it’s a real celebration for us,” Vuyk said. And it’s not just the students’ grades that have benefited from the program – the past four years have been full of opportunities for the students to broaden their horizons and grow as individuals.

The Community Foundation for Kingston and Area also provided Pathways with funding to take the students on trips to visit campuses in Toronto and Ottawa. “For some of our students it was the first time they had left Kingston,” Vuyk noted. To top it all off, each student who attended Pathways for the past four years will receive a $4,000 scholarship ($1,000 per year) toward their education. “Both Queen’s and St. Lawrence have scholarships for any Pathways to Education student across the country so we’re really grateful for their support too,” Vuyk added.

“They’ve certainly evolved academically but they’ve [also] matured and we can see them giving back so much to their community,” Vuyk said. “Their volunteer hours are fantastic, they come and attend all kinds of events with us and have really engaged in their community.” Vuyk is very grateful to Pathways’ community sponsors, particularly Empire Life and Kimco Steel, for their generous contributions, financial and otherwise. “They’ve provided fantastic opportunities for our students to broaden their horizons and acquire new life skills. We’ve had wonderful field trips…Going to Kingston Frontenacs games and sitting in the Empire Life box was great for our students. It was the first time they had seen a professional sporting event.”

Keep Out: City says Memorial Centre not a good site for high school By Bill Hutchins Reporter
Kingston Heritage – The Kingston Memorial Centre will remain off limits to any new school, at least for now. City councillors voted 9-3 to reaffirm a decision they made a year ago that rejects the possibility of constructing a school on either the 23-acre midtown park space or the Cook Brothers Arena site. “It would be terrible to take a portion of that site away,” said Coun. Kevin George, who brought forward the motion June 17. He says “every acre” of the Memorial Centre grounds was intended to honour fallen soldiers of the Second World War, and building a $35 million high school there would be a wrong fit. Most councillors say their message to the province and the Limestone District School Board is clear: look somewhere else. “I wasn’t elected to fix a problem that other elected bodies created,” added Coun. George. The school board recently decided to shutter
KCVI and QECVI, and to construct a combined high school to serve about 1,200 students in central Kingston. Some believe the Memorial Centre is an ideal location because it is located midway between the two schools that are slated to close, and it would bring new “synergies” between the school and the community. “It’s the only logical place,” said Liz Bates of the Kingscourt Community Association. One widely-discussed proposal is to demolish the barns on the 2.3 acre southwest corner of the Memorial Centre to make room for a school. However, Coun. Rick Downes, a retired teacher, says the footprint required by a mid-sized high school would be much bigger than that. “It’s going to have a huge impact on the property.” It would create bus drop-off and parking problems while students would spill out around the Memorial Centre site during their breaks, he explained. “The Devil is in the details,” agreed Coun. Lisa Osanic. “You’re going to get vandalism. We’re just inviting trouble.”

Bryan Paterson says the city shouldn’t be cil,” warned Coun. Paterson. so quick to reject a school on the site until there is further investigation into the pros and cons. “It’s incumbent on us to at least explore the possibility.” Coun. Paterson had a competing motion on the agenda to consider a secondary school on the property, but it was immediately ruled out of the order when Coun. George’s motion was approved first. Paterson wanted city staff to open talks with the school board based on several conditions; no net reduction in green space and the preservation of existing improvements and activities such as the linear park, aquatic centre, Memorial Wall, Sunday farmer’s market and the annual Fall Fair. However, Coun. Bill Glover says to explore options is to ignore the memorial nature of the site. “I wonder if you really know, if you really care?” A small delegation from the Kingston and District Agricultural Society watched the debate.

City to cover legal fees of councillor at centre of conduct probe Reporter
Kingston Heritage - City taxpayers will cover the legal fees of a councillor who was the focus of a much-publicized investigation earlier this year. Most councillors agreed it’s not fair that Councillor Bill Glover had to spend $3,955 from his own pocket to defend himself during the internal probe by a city-hired Integrity Commissioner. “Four thousand dollars as a legal fee is an unfair burden for him to carry,” argued Coun. Rick Downes, who introduced the compensation motion. Councillors voted 9-3 to pay the tab, noting Commissioner George Rust-D’Eye recommended no sanctions be taken against the veteran Sydenham District councillor, who is retiring from municipal politics this fall and moving back to his hometown of Winnipeg. Coun. Downes says there’s no reason for Coun. Glover to bear any financial burden given the commissioner’s finding which council had earlier accepted. “The whole idea of a legal fee is, in a sense, a form of sanction.” Coun. Glover had excused himself from the June 17 debate and vote over his fees. With Glover out of the room, Coun. Downes launched into spirited defence of his colleague, calling him a man of “great integrity.” He also criticized Kingston’s newly-adopted process that could force elected officials to hire a lawyer to fend off future accusations surrounding their conduct. “We need to ensure people can defend themselves when they enter into this
process.” City Hall already provides compensation to elected officials who seek independent legal advice on potential conflict-of-interest matters. Most agree this policy should be extended to those involved in integrity investigations, though there remains no formal compensation policy in place. Coun. Glover’s conduct was initially called into question after he had exchanged a series of e-mails with a professional colleague, Dr. Robert Williams, in advance of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing into revamped ward boundaries. Dr. Williams was later called as a city expert to testify at the hearing, and his ‘flip-flop’ testimony helped to sink the city’s case against counting post-secondary students as constituents, according to the detailed report by Rust-D’Eye, a Toronto lawyer and municipal affairs expert. In an earlier decision, council said it would not pay about $7,000 in contractual fees to Williams as punishment for not doing the job he was hired to do. “Take the $4,000 (Glover) tab out of the money we’re not paying Dr. Williams,” remarked Coun. Bryan Paterson. Some councillors pointed out that while the Integrity Commissioner recommended no sanctions, the extensive report did note “inappropriate” actions by both Glover and Williams in not disclosing their chain of correspondence to city lawyers in advance of last fall’s OMB hearing. “I don’t think he set out to do anything wrong,” observed Mayor Mark Gerretsen. However, the mayor says the commission-

cause the city forced him into a difficult and complex situation. He added: “This whole thing was rather unfortunate and it’s time to move on.” Though he didn’t offer a public comment on having his fees covered, Coun. Glover said from the outset that the integrity probe was a “witch hunt” against him for opposing council’s decision to exclude university and college students from the district population count. He later said he felt exonerated by the outcome of the investigation, which cost taxpayers $50,000.

er’s finding of inappropriate behaviour indicates Coun. Glover’s intentions were “misguided.” The investigation was launched last December based on the advice of the city solicitor. Coun. Brian Reitzel, one of three who opposed covering Glover’s legal fees, went further. He says politicians have to police themselves and take responsibility when they “step into the goo.” He added: “Coun. Glover is paying the price for all of us learning a lesson.” That comment triggered an emotional rebuttal from Coun. Downes: “Is this some kind of experiment here?” he said. “Let’s not use Coun. Glover as a test case.” Councillors Reitzel, Sandy Berg and Jeff Scott voted against paying his legal fees. Coun. Rob Hutchison says compensating Coun. Glover is the “smart thing to do” be-

Get thee to a theatre! Mandy Marciniak
Reporter
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Live theatre – there is nothing like it. I’ve always enjoyed it and I think I actually enjoy it more than going to the movies or to concerts. Watching a story come to life on stage is always fascinating and even if you see the same play more than once it has the potential to be completely different, especially if you see it at different theatres. To indulge this love of theatre, Korey and I visit Stratford annually and try to see at least a couple of plays a year. This year we went for our anniversary and while the trip was fantastic I couldn’t help but notice that the theatres were nowhere near full. We attended productions of two Shakespearean plays and while I realize that some people aren’t interested in the Bard’s work I was still surprised. This is our sixth year visiting Stratford, but I have only recently noticed this trend. When we started going to the festival it was actually difficult to
find available tickets and we had to book our seats well in advance. The theatres were always full and the audience was always extremely enthusiastic. That is certainly not the case now. We even took advantage of a two for one deal for the plays we saw, which made it even more surprising to see empty seats, and at both shows audience members around us did not return after intermission. I don’t really understand the concept of paying for a ticket and then leaving half way through, even if you aren’t really enjoying it. Don’t you want to see how it ends? Another visible trend at both shows was the lack of younger audience members. Korey and I both felt like we were kids in a room full of adults and it was kind of bizarre. We even listened to an older man rant about Justin Bieber and his wild ways, but that is beside the point. I know that older adults generally attend theatre more than younger adults but I was still shocked to see the huge age gap between us and the rest of the audience. Theatre is such a tremendous experience and plays are so unique and interesting and I’m not even talking

AArnprior open letter to Premier Wynne Chronicle-Guide
Dear Premier Wynne, I was not in your camp - but congratulations on confounding the know-it-alls, while convincing and assuring the majority of Ontario residents that you represent a new era of responsibility. You have a chance to go down in history as the greatest Ontario premier if you take on the challenge of correcting our two biggest and longest-term boo-boos. They are both partisan in origin, and therefore will take great courage and determination on your part to make progress
and change. 1) Ontario Hydro This mess is so bad, you scarcely know where to start. The clowns at the top of Hydro make Keystone Kops look studious. New, non-partisan leadership is mandatory. You need a guy like Hunter Harrison at CP Rail to come in, and, in short order, turn that baby around. The entire Hydro culture, built up over decades of incompetence at the top, must change immediately. Find an honest smart leader for Ontario Hydro and let he or she be surrounded with

exclusively about Shakespeare. I’m talking about musicals, dramas, comedies, any type of play. We’ve seen multiple genres of plays over the past few years at Stratford and each year we see the theatres less and less full and it just makes me sad. Our culture is becoming increasingly more obsessed with celebrities and Hollywood productions and plays are being brushed aside. For young adults, summer is about blockbuster movies instead of theatre productions in the park. There is so much value in live theatre that is simply being ignored. I’m not really sure what the solution is. I don’t know how theatre companies and festivals can compete with Hollywood and lure audiences to their productions. What I do know is that I saw some amazing productions in Stratford and some incredibly talented actors and if people aren’t willing to take a chance and go see those productions too then they are missing out. You don’t even need to travel to Stratford. Kingston is home to many great theatres and productions too and luckily through this job I get to see many of them. Theatre is everywhere. You just need to give it a chance and you’ll be hooked, too.

And oh yes, buy some power from Quebec - it’s cheap, green, and right next door. 2) Inequitable Bargaining Address the problem, (again built up over decades of partisan behaviour), of bribing the public sector with money we don’t have.

Of pipelines and pipedreams Heritage Editorial - Last week, the Government of Canada gave its tepid approval of the Northern Gateway Pipeline project. The announcement was made with little fanfare; not a single government minister was on hand to trumpet its benefits, and the press release didn’t even mention that it was ‘The Harper Government’ that gave the green light, as it has traditionally done when unveiling new policies and decisions. The report also drew attention to the 209 conditions and stipulations that must be adhered to before construction can begin. The message was clear enough. Enbridge, the builder of the pipeline, has its work cut out for it. Even the most optimistic experts say that settling the Native land claim challenges in court will take at least 18 months, and by that time the country will have entered a new election cycle that could see a new power installed in Ottawa. The Liberals have already stated that they would not allow the pipeline to go ahead, and polls show majority of British Columbians are behind them on this score. Small wonder that the Conservatives are treating the issue with kid gloves. At the same time last week, Germany, for the first time, produced over half of its electric needs via solar power. The success of the German program lay in encouraging its citizens to install solar panels on their rooftops as opposed to constructing large arrays. Just of over 90 per cent of German solar power is generated in this way. Also last week, Elon Musk, the South African visionary behind Space-X and Paypal, made all of the patents to Tesla’s electric motor powered cars publically available. The move isn’t purely altruistic – in fact, it’s a bit of pure old fashioned capitalist genius. It is hoped that the move will spur other automakers to innovate in their electric car designs, leading to more cars on the road, until the industry eventually supplants more traditionally powered vehicles and becomes the dominant mode of transportation. We believe these developments show the future of sustainable energy is incredibly bright, and the time of the oil sands is slowly coming to an end. As Musk has previously said “the Sun radiates more harnessable energy than the entire human race consumes in a year.� So why are we wasting our time with dirty old kinds of energy that are known to spill, causing tremendous ecological damage, and whose exhausts are known to clog up the atmosphere and contribute to climate change? A clean energy future is just within our reach, but only if we have the political will to see that these hazardous energy forms are replaced.
know it, you know it, so please stop it! This is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. We are relatively blessed beyond the dreams of our forefathers and much of the rest of the world. But we are stumbling like old people trying to catch themselves in the midst of tripping in a stairwell, (a circumstance of which I am increasingly familiar). A remarkable majority of Ontario residents have entrusted you to break their looming fall down the stairs. Solve the two things I’ve mentioned above and you
will have earned the gratitude of the province and become “The Greatest Ontario Premier - Everr!� PS: We will all snap to attention if you set an example by freezing political salaries, (including the multitude of staffers), and halting any further Ontario contributions to any indexed defined benefit pension plans. 50:50 should be the new nifty:nifty.

and the festivities. Utilities Kingston, Marathon Drilling and Taggart Construction did an amazing job tidying up the James Street construction project so that the village would look tidy for the celebration. Thanks also to the first-aiders from La Salle Secondary School and the Kingston Police Community Volunteers. We also appreciated media coverage in the Kingston Whig-Standard, EMC Heritage Kingston, Kingston East News, Station 14, and the Kingston Report by J.C. Kenny on CBC Radio. The event would not have been possible were it not for our sponsors who contributed to the cost and running of the celebration in so many ways: Base Commander Francois Chagnon and his colleagues at Canadian Forces Base Kingston; Canadian Heritage; the Pittsburgh Community Benefit Fund; the Britton Smith Foundation; Taggart Construction; Marathon Drilling; the Eastern Ontario Events Centre; the Kingston Brewing Company; Send in the Clowns, Limestone Music, the Screening Room, and the Limestone District School Board. We thank you all. The Brew Pub will have its ‘Barriefield 200 Ale’ on tap at their restaurant this week. We encourage everyone to raise a glass to Barriefield, a 200-year old treasure and Kingston’s Heritage Village. Again, many thanks to the Kingston community for the tremendous support!

It was important to the brothers to keep the deep in the soils of Loyalist Township. Their farm on the outskirts of Bath has been farm in the family, but they thought it needed a in the family for some 230 years, and the an- little something extra; thus the brewery, which they operate with their cousin, Ben Vandenberg, was born. Dan MacKinnon obtained a master’s degree in brewing and distilling from HeriotWatt University in Edinburg, Scotland and now orchestrates and oversees beer making process. Ivan is a licensed professional engineer (mechanical), who has worked at numerous manufacturing facilities across North America. “It’s a bit of a gamble I guess Short shaft, but farming these day is just getPull start Model ting tougher and tougher,” says Dan MSRP $3120.00 MacKinnon. “My brother’s got a family and we’re trying to make a LLM Price life here.

(Left to Right) Ivan and Dan MacKinnon and Ben Vandenberg stand in a wheat field at the MacKinnon’s farm/brewery. Photo/Hollie Pratt-Campbell the get-go which is nice to see in the community. Between the website and the social media and the hype around the brewery everybody seemed to be pretty pumped up about it.” Many of the ingredients for the beer are grown right on the MacKinnons’ farm. Currently they have 28 acres of malt and barley, as well as four varieties of hops, that have been growing for a number of years. “Right now we’re just using a little bit of wheat in the beer to give it a little more of a full body flavour that comes from our farm, but we’re hoping that this fall we can use a couple batches that are 100 per cent ingredients from our farm,” Vandenberg explains. The goal is to have 100 per cent farm-grown
ingredients in all of the beer the brewery produces within the next couple of years. So what’s the secret to producing great beer? “Cleanliness,” says Dan MacKinnon. “Things should be sterile. As long as you know your recipe and you run through [it] correctly and the fermentation goes well and you keep everything clean, you shouldn’t have any issues.” He adds that the unique quality of the water at the brewery, in addition to the farm-grown ingredients, contributes to the signature taste of MacKinnon Brothers’ beer. “We’re getting it from a natural well right on the property so that probably gives it a special character that no one else would have. It’s rich in calcium from the limestone.” You can try MacKinnon Brothers’ beer for yourself at any of the above-named restaurants and pubs. Later this summer, the brothers and cousin will open a bar, tasting room and retail facility at their farm and brewery, located at 1915 County Road 22 in Bath. Cans of beer will also be available for purchase at that location. “It’s a labour of love but people seem to enjoy the beer and business seems to be growing well so we hope it keeps going that way,” notes Dan. To keep updated on happenings at the brewery and when different types of beer will be available, find MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company on Facebook or on Twitter at @ MacKinnonBrew. You can also visit their website at www.mackinnonbrewing.com.

ArtsVest workshop encourages business and arts partnerships in the community By Mandy Marciniak
because we can talk about it all day but hearing it from your local community and businesses that are actually on the other end of these sponsorship proposals is priceless.” The workshop was well received by the organizations too, with groups like the Kingston Symphony, Friends of the Penitentiary Museum and the Multicultural Arts Festival in attendance. All were eager to learn about sponsorship and put their skills to work. “The day has been great so far and it really makes us think outside the box,” explained Sunita Gupta, Festival Lead for the Multicultural Arts Festival. “We do experience a lot of donor fatigue and sponsor fatigue so it is nice to know how to engage sponsors and how to keep them interested.” Hefferon, who is originally from Kingston, was happy to bring the program to the city and she hopes that the work will continue and the artsVest relationship with Kingston will continue. “The response has been really great so far here and we hope that the organizations that are here have learned a lot and they continue to use these skills for years to come.”

Heritage News – Partnerships in a community are important, especially partnerships between arts and cultural organizations and businesses; however, sometimes these partnerships can be difficult to form. “A lot of times businesses donate, get their tax receipt and then they’re done, but we want more than that,” explained Claire Hefferon, National Program Manager for artsVest, a program run by Business for the Arts. The artsVest program currently runs in British Colombia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Ontario and is slowly expanding to different cities throughout the provinces. The program provides training for arts and cultural organizations through workshops that teach these organizations how to seek out sponsors and build lasting relationships with those sponsors. On June 17, multiple organizations from Kingston gathered at Memorial Hall to learn these skills and hopefully gain some sponsorship interest. “We have about 60 different organizations taking part here in Kingston and learning about sponsorship and how to approach businesses and how to develop really meaningful partnerships,” said Hefferon. “We’ve been very successful thus far. Since 2002 we’ve had 1571 businesses partner with 465 cultural organizations and 968 of those businesses were first time sponsors of the arts.” The program gives funds to organizations while also providing them with an incentive to go out and seek sponsors. ArtsVest has $85,000 to give to organizations in Kingston and each group that attended the workshop can apply for up to $5,000. On top of that, ArtsVest will match any donations that the organizations receive from businesses following the workshop. Overall, Hefferon expects artsVest to put about $190,000 into arts and cultural organizations in the Kingston community. “Every community, in our opinion, needs a program like this to help form private and public sector arts partnerships,” added Hefferon. “There are a lot of arts organizations here and the city applied for us to come and when we looked over the application we thought it was a great fit.” The day started with an info session before moving onto a question and answer period with a panel of four local business owners and then concluded with a workshop led by a sponsorship coach. Hefferon explained that the panel really is the most important part of the workshop because it gives the organizations a firsthand look at how businesses react. “It is nice to have their perspective

For over sixty years in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, the Quattrocchi family have been searching the local and world markets for fresh food choices. Starting in the early 1900s from the small garden in Italy where my grandfather would take the donkey and cart loaded with the morning’s pick to the market, our family has continually been involved in the fresh fruit and vegetable business. In 1949, Rose and Phil Quattrocchi started a small store at the corner of Bay and Montreal streets to serve the Kingston community. From there, they expanded to the current location at 662 Montreal Street. Through the next sixty years, Quattrocchi’s has been the shopping choice of thousands of people from Kingston and the surrounding area, both long-term residents and new immigrants to Canada alike. With the new arrivals came new requests for com-
fort foods they missed from their home countries. As more people travelled, they too wanted the foods they had tasted in their travels to faraway lands. Many local farmers would bring in farm fresh items. We also searched far and wide for international food items as requested by our customers. Our famous fruit and gift baskets were a natural progression given the wide variety and quality of the products we offered for sale. We select each item that goes into our baskets by hand, and our basket selections are continually changing as the seasons change and new taste trends appear. Our buyers are walking the floors of the wholesale markets several days a week seeking out the finest, freshest, and newest innovations in fruits and specialty items to satisfy our customers. To all of you, from all of us at Quattrocchi’s Specialty Foods - Thank you !

Taking farming back to the earth By Braden Dragomir Reporter
Tucked away just five kilometres from downtown Kingston is a new farm. Well, it’s not new land per se. Up until the 1950s it was wheat fields, but since then it has been overtaken by acres upon acres of trees and brush. “It really is a special little place,” says Charles Summers, who runs Salt of the Earth Farm in Kingston. “Because it is so close to town, and you’d never know there’d be an Old MacDonald kind of farm right in town.” The land belongs to Summers’ uncle. It’s a rough piece of land, covered in stone and bushes, but it’s a place that Summers believes will become a destination for people who want to rediscover farming. “This is a big, funny, diverse property, so I want to turn it into something that really shows [how you can] grow food in this part of the world.” All of the farm work is done by draft horses. Summers learned how to use horses in farming while working in Nova Scotia. “I really love working with drafts. To me, it’s interesting and challenging, but you know, you
can’t talk to a tractor.” While the horses till and plough through the farm, it’s also being turned over by livestock. Salt of the Earth has a traditional CSA available to the public. Community Supported Agriculture is where people purchase a share in the farm in advance. Customers receive a weekly share of the seasonal produce that is grown on the farm. Summers also has an egg share from the chickens, as well as shares in meat from the pigs and cattle on the farm. Those are the same animals that Summers uses to turn over and work the soil throughout the farm. The chickens are in a mobile coop, which moves every day. The cows live in an ever expanding area in which they can graze. The pigs have their pen, which is always on the move as well. The fact that the animals are used as part of the farm makes Salt of the Earth an exciting place to explore. “Obviously as far as making the farm work, these guys [draft horses] certainly pull their weight, but then there’s also just an aspect of landscape management. Pigs do an amazing job working over land, cattle are very good at rejuvenating grassland, and chickens just have like magic poo that just

Summers has been selling to restaurants, and also his CSA customers. As the season goes on, Summers hopes more people will join

Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre works to expand inclusive arts programs in the city By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Music is infectious - it brings people together and the act of playing music can be fun and liberating. But it can also be extremely intimidating, especially for people with intellectual disabilities. That is where Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre and their Able Artists program comes in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bring in artists with disabilities or artists that have developed arts programs for people with disabilities and we run a workshop,â&#x20AC;? explained Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre Founder and Executive Director Katherine Porter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They speak to educators, health care providers, health service members and other disabled members of the community and share their work and insights.â&#x20AC;? The program works to inform members of the community and help them learn the skills needed to properly run an inclusive arts program of their own. These programs allow people with disabilities an opportunity to improve their social literacy skills, adds Porter, and they also help improve their selfesteem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is really what Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art centre is all about â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want to help people with disabilities and those facing barriers create and experience the arts in a positive way and these workshops just help expand that.â&#x20AC;? On June 19, Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre welcomed Dr. Jesse Stewart, a percussionist who fully supports the idea of inclusive arts, especially when it comes to music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that everyone should have an opportunity to create music and experience a musical environment and I want to make that environment inclusive and welcoming so that we can all make music together,â&#x20AC;? explained Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people encounter barriers when making music and sometimes disability can be a factor. I want to work through that and allow people the opportunity to make great music and feel the power of that.â&#x20AC;?
These ideas prompted Stewart to start an organization called We Are All Musicians (WAAM) and as part of that Stewart lead a workshop at Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre for adults with intellectual disabilities. He showed off his musical skills and also allowed participants the opportunity to experiment with multiple percussion instruments. The group then created music together that Stewart used during the second part of the workshop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been doing the same kind of work at the Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre in Ottawa and the response has been fantastic,â&#x20AC;? added Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love making music and in particular this is very rewarding for me because I love when the people I make music with are excited about it.â&#x20AC;? The second part of the workshop showed Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to professionals and showed them that arts can be inclusive and very effective. The goal of the workshop is to expand the pool of leaders in the area that are able to run inclusive programs. Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre hopes to provide training to arts leaders in the community and hopefully expand inclusive arts programs beyond their facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are taking the leadership and resetting the expectations of those who are artist educators by showing that if they really want to bring everyone in then come and learn from the centre and learn from the professionals who know how to do it,â&#x20AC;? added Porter. Local music teachers, members of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Faculty of Music and different musical professionals attended the workshop and Porter hopes that they will take the skills they learned and apply them to their own teaching. Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Centre runs an Artist-in-residence program that gives future inclusive arts facilitatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands-on experience and Porter hopes that many of them will take advantage of that in the months to come.

Greg Ball returns to Bathhouse Studio for new album By Braden Dragomir Reporter
It’s that old record recording tale. Take the band to a studio in a secluded area. Write, record, get creative, and make great music. For many bands, technology has made that experience a part of the past, but Greg Ball and his band are getting back to basics. This month, they headed down the road from Kingston to the Tragically Hip’s Bathouse Studio. It’s their second time recording in Bath. “Mr. Rightplace”, Ball’s first album playing under Paul Langlois’ label Ching Music, was also recorded at the Bathouse. “Just being able to work with Paul, I mean, I feel pretty fortunate,” said Ball. “Just to have all his experience in the industry, and all the years working on music, it’s pretty cool.” The band, along with Langlois himself, found three days where everyone could get off the grid, and record an album. With his second album with the Ching Music label, Ball and the took the opportunity to put a bit more rock into the music. “It’s definitely more rocky, and I think that came from being on tour together and just gelling as a band,”
said Ball. Last year’s tour is one of the reasons the band was able to record the album in three days. While Langlois toured his solo album “Not Guilty”, Ball and company opened across the country. It was also the first time bassist Rob Gillet to played with the band, so this was his first time joining them in the studio. “It’s been a wicked week,” said Gillet. “We had a lot of the songs to a standard before, then we came out here, and luckily Paul liked what he was hearing as well.” Joe Carscallen has been playing with Ball for about four years. “From the last record, I’d say it’s a little more rock oriented,” says Carscallen. “I think that’s us as a whole but I want to say I rocked it up a bit more this time. Also with Rob joining the band, we’ve added some rock influences.” Getting out of the city gave everyone in the band the chance to really focus on recording this album, which makes Ball excited to share it with his fans. “I’ve always played music, but, to be honest, now it feels like you’re only as good as you make yourself sound on Facebook,” says Ball. “But now, there are actually some peo-
Greg Ball recording vocals for his new album. ple who really like what we do, so there’s that feeling of ‘I really can’t wait to get this into their hands and see what they think.’” For Langlois, it’s about getting Greg Ball’s music out to more people.
“He’s a gifted songwriter,” said Langlois. “I think of Greg as somebody who has a lot to prove, and so I find him becoming a little more gunslinger like.” While the initial recordings are done, the band will take the record-

ings home to make sure they like the way they’ve come together. “We’re going to listen to it, we’ll make our spouses listen to it, then we’ll figure out if there’s things we want to fix,” said Ball “I’m aiming for the fall to get it out.”

John Sebastian brings some lovin’ back to Kingston mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Events – With hits like ‘Summer in the City’ and ‘Do You Believe in Magic’The Lovin’Spoonful became a wellknown American rock band in the 1960s, but the band also has ties to the Limestone City. On June 28, founding member John Sebastian returns to Kingston for a very special concert and he couldn’t be more excited to revisit the city. “A large part of my life was coming to Kingston for many years,” explained Sebastian. “After a long partnership with Zal (Yanovsky) in The Lovin’ Spoonful I started coming to Kingston recreationally because we would play together at different events and honorariums. I would come to Kingston yearly and I am really excited to come back.” Yanovsky was not only a founding member of the band but was also founder of Chez Piggy and Pan Chancho, two of Kingston’s most famous culinary spots. Yanovsky died a number of years ago. Sebastian says he will definitely hit up both of his friend’s spots while he is town although he realizes that they will not be as enjoyable without his old partner. “I always make sure to have dinner and a pastry for Zal. I know he would appreciate that,” added Sebastian. The Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame member will be performing as part of the Skelton Park Arts Festival. Organizer Al Rankin was eager to book the famous musician
when he learned he would be passing through town. He hopes that fans of The Lovin’ Spoonful will come check out the show and Sebastian’s unique approach to performing the band’s classics. “It will be a great opportunity to see him and hear the stories of where the songs came from,” said Rankin. “He was the prime songwriter in The Lovin’ Spoonful so all the songs everyone knows came from him. It is interesting to hear the stories of where the songs came from and what inspired them.” Sebastian will also be performing some newer material but admits that he enjoys telling the stories of the old hits more and he thinks the audience enjoys it as well. “There is always some well that the songwriter has been drinking from and the audience rarely knows anything about that,” said Sebastian. “It is nice to reminisce and share those stories.” Sebastian will be joined by openers Amanda and Will from the band Wilderness of Manitoba, an up and coming Canadian band that Rankin is excited to welcome to Kingston. He encourages Kingstonians to come check out the show even if they don’t know the music or the history. “He is an American music legend and listening to his show is like learning about the history of music. It will be a real treat.” John Sebastian is performing on June 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Grand Theatre. Tickets are available at the box office or at www.kingstongrand.ca or by calling Co-founder of The Lovin’ Spoonful, John Sebastian performs at the Grand Theatre on June 28. 613.530.2050.

Glass as a material is superior to metal and plastic. It is endlessly recyclable. Its ingredients are naturally abundant. It’s made out of something naturally occurring. And it doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into water.” He says that his social focus is to donate 10 per cent of all profits to WaterCan. The organization’s goal is to bring clean water to communities in need. Hayden’s company name, WeDrink, comes from the fact that when you buy a WeDrink bottle, someone less fortunate benefits as well. WaterCan supports small-scale, sustainable water and sanitation projects serving more than a million people in 32 developing countries. Right now, their efforts focus on Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, one of the poorest regions of the world. “You’re helping to allow everyone to drink clean water because of your purchase.” Hayden Rasberry has big plans for WeDrink. Value is today’s consumer motto. Miraclehair “This summer I’m focusing on one glass guarantees your satisfaction and assures that bottle,” he says. “I’d like to increase the size your expectations are exceeded. Hair that’s so of the line and incorporate other types of bot- unique and natural that it is patented. You’ll tles.

From a time before recorded history, humans have transported water. Clay and ceramic jugs were, and still are, used to move the simple liquid comprising two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. Romans developed aqueducts to move large quantities of water. A Kingston student, 16-year-old Hayden Rasberry, who divides his time between Yarker and Kingston, recently launched a company called WeDrink, which creates glass water bottles. That’s certainly a healthy alternative to the plastic water bottles—both the disposable and reusable kinds—that are ubiquitous in our culture. After the introduction of high-density polyethylene, plastic bottles became the norm in the latter 20th century. Even Perrier, at one time a high-end bottled water, now comes in cheap plastic. I don’t trust plastic. We’ve already witnessed a cultural backlash against bisphenol A (BPA) found in water bottles. In 2008, consumer-advocate organizations published studies regarding health problems (including cancer) linked to BPA. Now many plastic companies are promoting their containers as BPA-free. But if the plastic water bottle you’re using at the moment hasn’t yet been found to cause medical problems, give it five or ten years. I predict that new studies will find new problems. Ever since taking biochemistry and organic chemistry in university, I’ve been suspicious of anything plastic, or things stored in plastic. Although companies can make outrageous claims about the health benefits of their bottled water, they often downplay the risks. Researchers have found that the bottles themselves can be the source of estrogenic activity contaminants. Chemical leaching activity increases if the plastic is exposed to high or low temperatures. So forget about leaving your plastic water bottles in warm cars or freezers. We are fortunate in Kingston to have a number of alternatives that assist in leading a healthy lifestyle. My family gets organic milk in glass bottles delivered to our door by Limestone Organic Creamery. For now, I use a stainless steel water bottle, but pretty soon, thanks to Hayden Rasberry, I’ll be using a WeDrink glass bottle to carry my water with me during walkabouts at home and afar. The bottle part of the WeDrink container is made entirely of glass. “It’s fairly durable,” says Hayden. “We’ve even tested it by dropping it from one meter. The cover is neoprene so it allows it to hold hot and cold drinks as well
as offering protection for the bottle.” In the future, he wants to change the logo imprinting process and hopefully have the design carved onto the glass. He’d also like to use hemp to replace the nylon strap for attaching the cord to your bag or backpack. Hayden just completed Grade 10 in the KCVI extended French program. He explains that there wasn’t one specific thing that inspired him to create his company. “I’ve seen a number of things that made me want to start the project,” he says. “There’s a growing and environmental and social concern in Kingston. I’d always wanted to run a business and I wanted it to have a triple bottom line.” By triple bottom line, he means that the company has a focus on people, planet and profit. “It’s the business model of the future,” he says. He has two years of high school to complete before heading to university, where he hopes to study commerce. He plans to continue running WeDrink. “I want to run my own business,” he says. “I have a passion for entrepreneurial work.” Although he says he would only want to work in a company where he could share ideas and maintain high standards, he suspects he’ll always be self-employed. He has an intense focus that’s reflected in his hard work. “I’ve tried taking it easy, but it seems like there’s no point resting,” he says. “I like mountain biking, swimming, and time with friends. Exercise is one of the best ways to relax.” He admits that he has to consciously tell himself to take a break. He also enjoys playing piano, but as he’s preparing for music exams (Grade 9 level) it’s not a relaxing process. He says that Mr. Grekul, a business teacher at KCVI has been helpful in the development of WeDrink. “He helped with my business plan,” says Hayden. “I was involved with a business club at school and then had him as a teacher this year. He’s really helped with the logistics of starting a company.” Hayden received a $3,000 government grant to assist with launching WeDrink. He had to work with KEDCO in developing his business. He also credits his mother, Rena Upitis, for her support. “My mom has supported me quite a bit,” he says. “She’s a lot like me. She never stops working.

Sarah in the Square By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Heritage Review - In 1998, the band Weeping Tile performed a free concert in the KCVI auditorium over lunch hour. I was a big fan of the band and couldn’t believe my luck. “So this is what high school is like?!” I thought. As a first semester Grade 9 student, I excitedly imagined the many free lunch hour concerts that lay ahead of me. Alas, the Weeping Tile show proved to be a one-off. The only concerts that took place in the auditorium for the remainder
of my high school career were by student bands – and you usually had to pay a token entry fee. But on Friday night I was at last able to relive the excitement of complimentary top-notch entertainment when a concert was given by none other than Sarah Harmer - who, of course, also has quite a successful career as a singer/songwriter in addition to being the former frontwoman of Weeping Tile. The concert took place in Market Square and kicked off this season of the City of Kingston’s Rockin’ the Square series. Unable to line up a babysitter for
the evening, my husband Steve and I decided to bring our two year old daughter, Summer. Despite the fact that the concert started at 8 p.m. – her usual bedtime, it sounded like too much fun to pass up. The whole family had a great time dancing to the tunes of Rueben de Groot, who got the show started. I’ve interviewed Rueben a couple of times and was already familiar with his music (and knew it was great) but Steve was pleasantly surprised. He noted that it sounds sort of like folk/ country meets ‘90s alternative. “Exactly,” I said. “That’s the perfect way of describing it.”
At around 8:45, Sarah came on, opening with the catchy hit Almost. By that time, close to 3,000 people had arrived at Market Square and were either standing up close to the stage or sitting on lawn chairs or bleachers near the back. She played a nice mix of old, familiar tunes (Uniform Grey, Basement Apartment, I Am Aglow, Pendulums) and new songs. I’m a bit of a grump when it comes to new music at concerts (I want to sing along, goddamnit!) but Sarah is very good at writing instantly-likeable songs and I was singing along by the end of most anyway.
In between songs we chatted with friends and acquaintances in the audience and listened to Sarah’s endearingly awkward banter. She told a lovely story about Dolly Parton swallowing a bug, inspired by the hundreds of midge flies fluttering around the stage. At some point, Summer fell asleep in Steve’s arms as he swayed back and forth with the music. All in all it was a very enjoyable night with a great community feel. To me, Sarah Harmer’s music is like home, and what better place to experience it than Market Square on a warm June evening?

Anticipation ran high for delivery of report cards Mary Cook
Columnist
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Lifestyle - This time of year, as the last school term was coming to a close, my stomach churned from the time I put my foot in the door at the Northcote School until that fateful day when Miss Crosby handed out the report cards. I was convinced I had failed every exam, and would be right back sitting in the very same seat when school started again in September. Miss Crosby’s face gave nothing away. She treated the last day like every other day, and as if handing out those fateful report cards were an everyday occurrence. Little did she know, or if she did, she showed no sign, but every one of us wished we could just sleep away that last day of school, and the handing out of those dreaded report cards. The last day at the Northcote School was set apart by the very tenseness in the air, and every one of us, the entire school, came that morning as if we were dressed for a church picnic. We had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and everyone, even Two Mile and Three Mile Herman, who never darkened a
church door, looked like we were all headed for a Sunday morning service. And it wasn’t only getting our report cards that put us all on edge. It was the responsibility of the teacher, which meant of course, every one of her 18 pupils were pressed into service, to make sure the school room had been scrubbed from top to bottom, the windows cleaned, the blackboards shining, and of course, our desks cleaned out. It would take days, because there were no caretakers or janitors back then, just the hands of the teacher and her pupils. So by the time the last day rolled around, the school was shining, most of our books had been removed from our desk drawer and taken home, and the black boards were washed and ready for September. That fateful day arrived. The day when we would know if we had passed. There were the usual morning devotions, which always included long purposeful prayers to guide us through the summer. Heaven forbid that we would go off into summer without the proper spiritual send off. And Miss Crosby would finish reading us the last couple of chapters in the books she had been bringing to school every Friday. It could be something like Gulliver’s Travels, or Huckleberry Finn, and rather than leave us hanging over the summer wondering about the ending, Miss Crosby would polish off the

book on that last day while we sat in morbid anticipation as we waited for the hour when we would be handed out those dreaded report cards. Just like the foolscap pads that sat on the corner of her desk on the days of the exams, the report cards were the first thing we spotting when we came into the school at nine in the morning. There they were. Just like death sentences. All in a neat pile on the left hand corner of that old oak desk. It was a challenge to sit and listen to the last of the story book, as we anticipated the handing out of the report cards. But of course, even if we didn’t, we had to look like we were absorbing every last word coming out of Miss Crosby’s mouth! There wasn’t an eye in the Northcote School that wasn’t glued to the neat little pile of white fold -over cards. And always, I silently wished I had paid more attention, and tried harder, or given more thought to the exams just past. But it was too late now. The die was cast. Of course, Miss Crosby made us suffer even more, by demanding that our feet be planted firmly on the floor, under our desks, with our hands folded on top. She would walk slowly over to the side windows and survey the entire classroom, spending many minutes looking at each one of us in turn. It

didn’t matter really. Nothing mattered. It was too late. The report cards were already sitting on the corner of her desk. There was nothing in the world that could change a word on them! And then, as if she all the time in the world, she would walk with great deliberation over to her desk. I had only recently learned to tell the time, and I would glance up at the old CPR clock, and see the hands about to reach the magic hour. The report cards had to be handed out just minutes before we were excused from school. I knew, since I was the youngest in the school, that I would be the first to get a report card. I certainly didn’t think it was any privilege to be first...I would have much preferred to be last! Miss Crosby walked up and down the aisles placing the cards precisely in the middle of the top of our desks. Just above where our hands were folded. Of course, we were forbidden to lay a finger on the cards until we were told to do so. My eyes were glued to mine like a magnet. The cards were made of white soft cardboard, and folded over like the covers on a book. Our name was printed on the outside, right under where it said THE NORTHCOTE SCHOOL. Naturally, it was printed in black, just like the death notices that occasionally
came in the mail. When Miss Crosby had handed out the last card, she moved slowly back to her desk, and all she did was give one deep nod, and that was the signal that we could open our report cards. Miss Crosby, knowing of course, that I had yet to learn how to write, printed on my card. And there it was. I had passed. I would be out of Primer Book and into Junior First come September. I had the deepest urge to let out a war-hoop, but of course, that would be unheard of in Miss Crosby’s Northcote School. Selfishly, I could care little what the fate was of the other pupils. But I was filled with love for Miss Crosby who had nursed me through that first year of school...and even though the whole summer loomed ahead, filled with swims in the Bonnechere, picnics, sleeping under the stars in a tent, and all the other joys of the warm days ahead, I couldn’t wait to get back to school in September. All because of that little folded-over white card on Miss Crosby’s desk. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Cannonball Rush Claim your fame on Fort Henry Hill
Fort Henry was built on the hill top overlooking historic Kingston, Ontario, the city’s highest point of land, at the convergence of Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence and the Rideau Canal to fend off the enemy in 1812. Its design and architecture was crafted to intimidate and dominate the enemy before they hit the exposed areas below. Built on a giant slab of granite, it is surrounded by very rough terrain and natural obstacles that make assaulting the mighty Fortress a hopeless endeavor. No one dared attack… until now! Suit up on Saturday July 12th 2014 as Fort Henry hosts the second annual Cannonball Rush - an outdoor 5 K run and tricky obstacle challenge, testing your strength, endurance, determination, and team spirit. This is a grand opportunity to get family and friends together and create a memorable experience at Ontario’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site that you’ll fondly look back on over the years. Start time is 10am sharp and be prepared to take on ten or more challenging obstacles. This outdoors event is open to ages 18 and older. Teams welcomed with a minimum of four participants to a maximum of 10 participants. Each brave ‘rusher’ will receive a Cannonball Rush Tech T-Shirt, a
Professional Chip timer, a memorabilia item and enjoy a most required post race Barbeque! Only those who overcome these challenges and cross the finish line can claim to have conquered the Fort! Do you have what it takes? Register today at cannonball rush.com. R0012770459

Heritage News – When Ginger Chen made the decision to leave the dance studio she was teaching at two years ago, she didn’t expect anyone to follow her, but she quickly learned that she had impacted her students even more than she thought. “She was the best teacher we’d ever had and we didn’t want to let her go,” explained Spencer Finn, a member of the Westwoods Dance Academy that Chen formed with five of her previous students. “They wanted to continue working together and I couldn’t say no,” said Chen. “We started to rent out space in Omega Fit Club and for the past two years we’ve been practicing there for about 16 hours a week or more, training for competitions and luckily doing very well.” Doing well is a bit of an understatement, especially when you look at the long list of awards the girls have received over the past two years. Chen names off a few including a top studio award, the highest score award at four different competitions, the ultimate technique award, top senior choreography, top senior soloist, top senior duet and the list goes on. The girls perform jazz, lyrical and acro dances and some tap and Chen attributes most of their success to their drive and commitment to dance and technique. “They clearly want to win and they all come to the studio ready to work and that really shows,” said Chen. “These girls don’t just get up on stage and rely on a theme or a story or an elaborate prop to carry them through and capture the audience’s attention. They rely on their technique and that is very strong and synchronized.”
Sadly, this is the last year that the girls will work together with Chen as four of them head off to university in the fall, but that isn’t stopping them right now. The team is gearing up for a huge national competition in Atlantic City in July and while they are extremely intimidated, Chen is sure that they will perform well. “There will be close to 2,000 routines and over 100 studios at this competition so it will certainly be a challenge, but I think we can do it,” added Chen who points out that this isn’t the first time they’ve been intimidated. “We went to a really large competition in Toronto last year and as soon as we walked in they were terrified, but I told them to go out there and do their best and have fun and they danced beautifully that weekend.” The girls love performing and they attribute much of their success to Chen and the bonds they have formed as a team over that past few years. “We’ve known each other for a really long time and that makes it easier for us to move together and Ginger works with us a lot to make sure we are all in sync and that really shows,” said Isabelle Leeson who hopes to continue dancing in university. “I am thinking of joining a dance team just because I am going to miss it. I know it won’t be the same but I’m sure it will still be fun.” The girls will also reunite for a fundraiser for Hotel Dieu in the fall, but for now they are just focused on training for Atlantic City and enjoying their time together as a team. “This is our last year together, but I am hopeful for the future and I’d love to continue teaching and maybe open my own studio one day,” added Chen. “It is so much fun and I love seeing them succeed.”

Windsor-built 1952 Meteor led to “Winnipeg” Ford Lifestyle – George Rogers of Winnipeg, Manitoba, grew up in Fort William, Ontario (now Thunder Bay). As a teenager in 1961, he found a customized 1952 Meteor Crestline Victoria two-door hardtop (Canadian version of Ford, which moved to Oakville in 1953). For George, the car was love at first sight. A previous owner had repainted the car 1960 Ford Iridescent Orchid Grey, shaved the hood and trunk lid, and installed ’55 Mercury side trim. “All this made its appearance unique and to my eyes stunning!” recalls George over 50 years later. “What a great car it was. Sharp looking, it had lots of power (thanks to the flathead V8 under the hood) and handled well on pavement, gravel, or winter ice. I think I spent as much time driving the car sideways as forward. “And on warm summer nights cruising around with the radio on and the windows all down, it never failed to pull in the Dick Biondi Show from WLS Chicago. I drove the car while I finished high school, went to college, worked, then moved to California. And that’s when I reluctantly sold my Vicky.” But George never forgot that car. As the age of 70 approached, he checked the internet
and found a ’53 Vicky in Maryland. “It had been fully restored,” says George, “it had an interesting history back to the original owner, and had been on the cover of The V8 Times magazine on a couple of occasions. I bid on it but did not meet the reserve.” The man selling it was not even sure he wanted to let it go but George kept in touch and finally persuaded the man that he would give the car a good home. The car was transported from Maryland to Fargo, North Dakota. George and his wife Nancy drove there from Winnipeg to pick it up and drive it home. Just before going through customs, the car conked out and several customs officers had to push it across the border into Canada, where it was trailered to Winnipeg. All it needed was a new fuel pump. “On warm summer evenings, cruising Above: Windsor-built 1952 Meteor Victoria owned by George Rogers in 1961. Below: around with the radio on and the windows all George Rogers’ 1953 Ford Victoria purchased in 2012. down, it hasn’t yet pulled in WLS in Chicago but I do now have my girl by my side and for me, that’s the most important thing.” I’m always looking for more stories.

In the kitchen with Grace By Kate Kristiansen
Atomica Pizza and Wine Bar located at 71 Brock Street, draws inspiration from the American Italian classics. For over 10 years, this trendy pizzeria has charmed visitors with delicious food, and for three of them Chef
Grace has been at the oven. Awarded the 2014 Trip Advisor Excellence Award, this is a not to be missed dining experience. Atomica is one of four sister restaurants owned by Tim Pater, including: Le Chien Noir, Harper’s Burger Bar and Dianne’s Fish Bar. Grace worked with Chef
Derek McGregor, of Le Chien Noir for a year, before taking over as Chef of Atomica. “I didn’t know much about local food and it’s importance until I trained with Derek,” says Grace. “In fact, I learned more from cooking alongside Derek than I ever did at culinary school.” Grace grew up in a large Lebanese family in Sydney, Cape Breton. She graduated from the Nova Scotia Culinary College in 2005 and began working at Pines Resort in Digby. After a short stint in Halifax, she moved west to Jasper, Alberta with a culinary school friend. During the four years she spent there she met her husband, Terry, and worked at the Sawridge Hotel as a pastry chef, line cook and acting sous chef. Atomica is the first restaurant where she has the chance to operate things on her own. “In the beginning I would stop and ask myself, ‘Would Derek do this?’ Derek and Tim were really great and helpful with ideas. By the third menu, I got the hang of things.” For under $25, the Spring/Summer menu features fresh, seasonal food such as salmon arancini cakes dappled with snap pea, mint, baby kale & fresh chile salad, tarragon-lime crema, the prosciutto and melon salad, or daily favourites from the variety of pizzas, fresh pastas, and fried olives, finish up with homemade biscotti and fresh pressed Illy coffee. Try the fried stuffed olives on your next visit. They are made onsite by hand, stuffed with fresh Hanover pork fennel sausages, mixed with cheese. They’ve become a signature dish at Atomica. Although, not even the fried olives or wood fire pizza, aptly named after Chef Grace, would satisfy her these days, given her insatiable craving for her grandmother’s
lebanese fatayer. You see, Grace and her husband are expecting their first baby. “As a child I remember, making “fatayer” with my grandmother and the other family members. It was one of my earliest experiences with food,” said Grace. “Everyone would be cooking together, it takes almost six hours to make - the grand children would pat down and flatten the triangles, which would be stuffed with lamb, spinach or beef.” Family gatherings meant food, dancing and rum drinking. “Often more than 120 people would gather over the weekend to eat,” says Grace. “When my grandmother passed away, the story goes they found at least six bottles of rum in the cupboard. “I am lucky,” Grace continues. “Both my parents cook. Friday’s ‘fatayer’ night, which they cook together. I am looking forward to my parents visiting when the baby comes. I am excited to teach our child about cooking. In Grace’s absence, Chef Andy Kirby who has also trained with both Chef Grace and Chef Derek for the past three years, will be taking over. “Atomica will not miss a beat,” reassures Chef Grace. Atomica is he best place for all occasions, whether date night, girls’ night out or a dinner out with the family. For more information about Atomica visit atomica. ca, or follow them on Facebook. The restaurant is open at 11:30 a.m. daily and the menu changes with each season.

Simple ways to maximize profits on your investment property Real estate investors have many reasons for making such investments, but one of the more common motives behind a decision to invest in a property is the belief that real estate rarely depreciates in value. Though the recent housing crisis might have debunked that myth once and for all, real estate is still widely considered a sound investment, one that many people wish they could afford to make. Those who have already invested in real estate know how difficult it can be to maintain a property much less improve it, which should be high on an investor’s priority list. But improving a property does not have to involve a complete overhaul or any other dramatic changes. In fact, there are several simple ways investors can improve their real estate investments and improve their chances of turning a large profit when they decide to sell a property. * Hire a property management firm. Some real estate investors, especially those new to the business who just purchased an investment and have little money to spare, shy away from hiring a property management firm. But such a company is worth the expense for investors with little time or know-how with regard to fixing a home. A property management firm will ensure the building is kept in shape, and depending on your agreement with the company, may even take care of cleaning vacant apartments, readying them for showing and renting them to new tenants. Perhaps the biggest advantage to working with an effective property management
firm is the likelihood that they will turn over the vacant apartment quickly, ensuring you aren’t losing money when tenants move out. * Carefully vet prospective tenants. One of the easiest ways a property can fall into disrepair is to allow bad tenants to move into the building. It’s understandable that investors want to get a building occupied as quickly as possible so they can use tenants’ rents to pay for the property. But bad tenants can cause damage to the property, and their behavior might encourage reliable fellow tenants to find a new living situation. When looking to fill a vacancy, establish a minimum income requirement for prospective tenants and ask applicants to produce proof of income and references from past landlords. This increases the chances you will find a respectful tenant who’s fully capable of paying their rent on time. * Work quickly. Few people want to rent forever, so expect significant turnover, especially if your investment property is a larger complex with multiple dwellings. If you aren’t working with a property management company, an easy way to maximize your profits on an investment property is to work quickly when turning apartments over after a tenant moves out. This includes painting and cleaning the apartment, and the process should go smoothly if you properly vetted tenants and the vacant unit did not suffer significant damage while the previous tenants were living there. A unit with just minor wear and tear should take
one week or less to get ready to show to prospective tenants, and the unit should be vacant for only one month before new tenants move in. Anything longer than a month and you’re losing money you don’t have to lose. * Upgrade appliances. Renters are just as likely to fall in love with curb appeal as buyers are. While there may not be a yard to entice renters if you purchased an apart-

5 tips for relocating the family 1. Gradually introduce the concept of moving. Moving is a decision to be discussed with the whole family, even with young children who may not fully understand the process. Kids who are involved in looking at new homes or voicing opinions about which amenities they desire in a new neighborhood will feel empowered and in control. 2. Research potential new neighborhoods carefully. Finding a new residence is not entirely about buying a home that fits the family and its needs. It also is about finding a desirable neighborhood and community. A good school district is an important factor, as is proximity to recreation, local culture and transportation. Drive around a neighborhood during different times of the day to gauge how active it is. Investigating businesses in the area can also help gauge the personality of a given neighborhood. 3. Work with an experienced agent. A real estate agent who is familiar with a variety of communi-
ties is a great asset. A buyer’s agent will find homes and negotiate on the part of the buyer, having your best interests in mind. Because the agent will be paid a commission on a portion of the sale price, which doesn’t come out of your pocket, it is in the real estate agent’s best interest to help you find a home you can call your own. In addition, the agent will handle many of the tasks that may be overwhelming if you were doing them on your own, such as scouring available listings, waiting for inspections or filling out pertinent paperwork. With a real estate agent handling these tasks, families can remove some of the stress from the moving process. 4. Pack children’s rooms last. Young children who see favorite items disappearing into bubble wrapping and boxes may start to feel anxious. It’s not uncommon for preschoolers to act out or experience nightmares during the moving process.
Maintain a sense of normalcy in the home as long as possible. Begin by packing nonessential items, only packing kids’ items when your moving date is right around the corner. Let children say good-bye to familiar haunts and even to their old home. 5. Plan a school orientation. Take advantage of any programs schools offer to acclimate kids to their new environment. Kids often leave friends behind when moving to a new home. The faster they get back to a normal routine, the better it will be for them. Schools are where children will make new friends and participate in social occasions, so tour their new schools before the school year begins, and meet with a few residents and current students to learn about special programs that may make a move less stressful for youngsters. Relocating a family can be stressful. But involving kids in the process and anticipating an adjustment period can help families adjust more easily

Did you know the average person moves 11.4 times in his or her lifetime? So says the most recent information from the U.S. Census Bureau. Various factors prompt people to move, from job opportunities to the desire to be closer to family members to wanting to live in a nicer climate. Moving is seldom an easy task, and is often ranked among the most stressful events in a person’s life. The Employee Relocation Council cites it as the third most stressful event in life, following only death and divorce. That stress is only heightened when an entire family is making the move and an adult is starting a new job simultaneously. Despite the potential headaches involved with moving, an estimated 43 million Americans move each year. Those moving are often married couples between the ages of 25 and 44 with one or two children between the ages of 2 and 11. To make the process go more smoothly, consider the following tips.

* Adjustable rate mortgages: Many people opted for adjustable rate mortgages when buying homes years ago. Over time, their monthly payments may have increased considerably, making it nearly impossible to afford a home. Refinancing for a fixed-rate mortgage, regardless of the current interest rate, will likely ease some of your financial burden. *Home value: A higher home value means more equity in the home. This money can be used to pay down debt or for home improvements that further improve the value of the home and property. It is important to speak with a real estate professional to determine if home values have spiked in a particular neighborhood and to gain an accurate appraisal of the home. This will help determine if refinancing is frugal. * Interest rates: Lower interest rates often motivate homeowners to refinance, as a lower interest rate can save homeowners a substantial amount of money over
the course of their loans. However, refinancing too soon (within 4 years of the original home loan) may put homeowners in a negative light. Lenders may see borrowers who refinance too soon or too frequently as risky borrowers who cannot successfully manage their money. * Prepayment penalties: Certain mortgages have prepayment penalties built in. Should a person pay off the mortgage too early, usually within two to five years, 2 to 4 percent of the home’s loan value must be paid out. Refinancing counts as paying off one loan and opening up another. Penalties could deter a person from refinancing too soon. Determining the best time to refinance your home mortgage takes effort on the part of the borrower and information about market trends. By doing one’s homework and being aware of certain factors, a person can save money by refinancing a home loan.

the closing into the mortgage, but stringent rules have changed the way many banks now do business. If the finances are simply not there to cover the closing costs, refinancing may not be an option. *Credit rating: If your credit rating is better now than it was when you initially earned your home loan, then this might be a good time to refinance. Not only will a person benefit from a low market rate, the interest rate may be even lower because lenders look more fondly on you now than they did years ago. Lenders often base their assessments of borrower reliability and stability on those potential borrowers’ credit scores, so a strong credit score makes you look better in the eyes of lenders. Borrowers with poor credit ratings may not benefit from refinancing. *Income: Aperson’s debt-to-income ratio is another factor in determining mortgage interest rates and approval. A positive change in income status as well as reduction in debt could make it a good time to refinance. R0012772795
Refinancing a mortgage is advantageous to homeowners for a variety of reasons. The primary reasons people refinance their mortgages are to reduce their monthly payments or free up equity to use toward home improvements or other necessities. Lenders will frequently advertise that “now”is the time to refinance, but people may want to get all of the facts before making their decisions. A low interest rate is not reason alone to refinance. Conventional wisdom has long suggested that borrowers wait to refinance until interest rates drop 2 percent below their current rate. While a low interest rate is important, there are several other factors to consider. * Closing costs: Refinancing a home is an expensive undertaking. While it can effectively shave $100 or more off your monthly payments, there is a financial outlay during the process, which includes closing costs. A person can expect to pay anywhere from 2 to 5 percent of the loan’s value in closing costs when refinancing. Lenders used to enable some to roll the cost of
