City to end free ride for parkers in three more neighbourhoods next year

The number of Queen’s and KGH employees who are participating in Kingston Transit’s monthly Transpass employer program has “grown significantly” from 472 employees in April 2015 to nearly 700 in April 2016.

“These 226 additional enrollments represent a 47.8% year over year increase, which can be attributed in part to the implementation of the On-Street Parking Program,” said Kidd.

One aspect of the program was problematic, though, when the city found that daily commuters were willing to park on unregulated streets and walk beyond the one-kilometre radius of the designated zones. Officials say they learned from the Queen’s/KGH commuting experience and will expand the radius of regulated parking in other neighbourhoods.

The next site on the list, known as Area C, encompasses the Inner Harbour, Rideaucrest Home, Providence Manor and McBurney Park. It will have regulated parking roughly bounded by Queen Street, Rideau Street, Division Street and Stephen Street.

News – Free commuter parking on residential side streets is scheduled to be eliminated in three more Kingston neighbourhoods next year.

Councillors are being asked to expand the so-called On Street Parking Program to regulate residential streets covering more neighbourhoods; -Inner Harbour, Rideaucrest Home, McBurney Park and Providence Manor in the spring of 2017, -Williamsville North in the summer of 2017, -St. Lawrence College and the new Providence Care Hospital in the fall of 2017.

There are two main components of the program to regulate day-long street parking. The first is to install signage with time-of-day parking restrictions (such as no parking from 9-10am and 1-2pm), with stepped up bylaw enforcement, to discourage commuters from clogging streets from morning until night. The second component is to issue a limited number of paid permits that exempt parkers from the sign restric-

tions.

“The program also includes the option to sell a controlled number of commuter permits on residential streets,” said transportation director Sheila Kidd.

The On Street program was first launched in neighbourhoods around Hotel Dieu Hospital/Sydenham District in 2013, known as Area A, and later expanded to neighbourhoods around Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital (KGH) in 2015, called Area B. In both zones, the city sells a limited number of on-street permit parking passes to daily commuters and has restricted parking times for the rest of the street space.

City officials say the program has proven “quite successful” to prevent motorists from clogging side-streets all day long, while encouraging more commuters to opt for public transit.

“Motorists no longer drive through these neighbourhoods seeking an available, free parking space and a significant number of commuters have switched to transit for their daily commute,” Kidd explained.

That will be followed by new parking rules for Williamsville North, called Area F, covering a triangular area roughly bounded by Princess Street, Concession Street and Division Street.

The last site that’s expected to be implemented in 2017,

known as Area D, will encompass the neighbourhoods around St. Lawrence College and the soonto-open Providence Care Hospital roughly bounded by King Street West, Yonge Street, Queen Mary Road and Country Club Drive.

All three areas will regulate parking on dozens of side-streets

where parking is currently free all day long.

A report recommending the 2017 implementation of regulated and permit street parking was presented to the environment, infrastructure and transportation

committee in June. However, the final decision on the implementation dates will rest with council.

Two final zones that are earmarked for street parking

restrictions - St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital (Area E) and Williamsville South (Area G) - do not have a specific implementation date at this time.

Back to bedrock: River barge begins testing for third crossing bridge Bill Hutchins

News – An unusual sight will be floating in the Cataraqui River starting in mid-July.

A barge fitted with a drillmounted rig will be testing the bedrock far beneath the riverbed that will support about a dozen piers for Kingston’s much-touted third bridge crossing.

City officials say it will be the first visible evidence to the public

that the bridge is moving closer to the ‘shovel ready’ stage. But it will take more than shovels to build a bridge spanning 1.2 kilometres of the river between John Counter Boulevard and Gore Road.

That’s where the barge comes in.

The geo-technical testing will assess the bedrock depth, quality and bearing capacity.

“We need strong foundations.

That’s why this work is very important,” said city engineer Dan

Franco.

It’s expected the bridge support piers will have to be sunk 30 to 40 metres through water, muck, silt and clay to reach the bedrock.

The city is under strict conditions set down by Parks Canada, which owns the UNESCO world heritage Rideau Canal waterway, to allow the drilling work. It could not start sooner than mid-July because of fish spawning and other factors.

In addition to bore holes in the

river, Golder Associates engineering firm has been hired to do similar testing on shore embankments along the bridge approaches on both sides of the waterway.

While field investigations are underway, J.L. Richards, the cityhired engineering firm overseeing the next phases of bridge studies, is completing a preliminary bridge design with updated cost estimates.

The proposed bridge will be sloped from one shore to another.

Motorists will notice a gradual descent from the east side on Highway 15. The bridge will then rise over the navigable channel of the Rideau Canal as the roadway moves in a gentle curve towards the western shore.

“These are not steep grades at all. The highpoint will be the arch section of the bridge and then a gradual downward slope,” explained Mark Van Buren, the city engineering director.

The arch section, as depicted in previous bridge designs, will overlook the main channel where boats will pass under. It will rise 1214 metres above the river – more than

double what federal officials require for boat clearance. The arch section will also feature public lookout points that can only be reached by pedestrians as there will be no room for motorists to pull over and admire the view, Van Buren said.

Despite previous talk of constructing a four-lane crossing, city officials now say that won’t be happening. In fact, they will not even design the bridge structure to support a future four-lane expansion due to the high cost and predictions of slowing population growth in 15 years.

However, they insist a two-lane bridge with cycling lanes - located midway between the LaSalle Causeway and Highway 401 - is needed for a variety of reasons: to reduce causeway traffic congestion, support future residential growth in Kingston East and provide 401 motorists with a more effective emergency detour route. Another benefit, they say, is that it would be the only Cataraqui River crossing that’s wholly city-owned.

The bridge price tag is currently set at $120 million (in 2011 dollars) but that figure is almost certain to rise once inflation is factored in.

“We don’t have any indication that cost has moved beyond inflationary influences,” explained Van Buren.

The City of Kingston is also partnering with Infrastructure Ontario to help develop a business plan for the bridge construction. The provincial crown corporation

has extensive experience guiding large public infrastructure projects, from highways to hospitals, using traditional publicly funded design-build contracts or the non-traditional financing model of a public-private partnership, also called P3.

Infrastructure Ontario will examine whether a P3 model fits with Kingston’s bridge project, or whether the traditional design-build approach that is wholly funded by public money is better.

Other components of the ‘shovel ready’ strategy

include an in-house study of various funding sources that include local taxes, user fees, development charges and government grants, and a social-economic cost-benefit analysis.

Van Buren says open houses are slated for this September and early next year to gather public feedback before the final reports are presented to council.

The ‘shovel ready’ studies, costing about $3 million in total, should culminate next spring when council will be asked to make a final decision on the project.

Press Release Limestone Credit Union Members Vote in Favour of Amalgamation with Comtech Fire Credit Union

Limestone will operate as a subsidiary of Comtech Fire Credit Union Kingston, ON, June 29, 2016: At a member meeting held on June 28th in Kingston, Ontario, members of Limestone Credit Union voted unanimously in favour of an amalgamation with Comtech Fire Credit Union.

Limestone will maintain its existing trade name, as a subsidiary of Comtech Fire Credit Union with aggregate assets approaching $500 million with 18,000 members. Comtech Fire Credit Union is based in Toronto, Ontario and will now operate 7 branches in Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga; and now in Amherstview and Kingston Ontario under the Limestone banner. Additional branch locations are currently being explored and will include additional Branches in Toronto and in the Pickering/Ajax area.

“During the past year, we have worked diligently to determine that Comtech Fire shares our values of member commitment”, said Mike Fleurie, CEO of Limestone Credit Union. “We believe we can be stronger together, bringing an even broader value proposition to our members”, added Fleurie.

“We have maintained throughout the process that we are stronger together than we are apart”, said Comtech Fire CEO John Mach. “Our ability to build the resources necessary to innovate and compete in the future requires adequate scale and this merger is another important step.

It makes things even better that we share so many common values.”

Comtech Fire Credit Union is a full service financial institution operating five branches in the GTA and in Ottawa. Limestone Credit Union operates two branches in the Kingston area and was formerly known as the Federal Employees (Kingston) Credit Union Limited.

“It works to educate and create awareness around bridging relationships with Canada’s indigenous peoples,” explained Laura Maracle, a member of the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre in Kingston. “It helps people have a more empathetic understanding of the true history of Canada’s indigenous people and the impacts of colonial policies.”

Standing on blankets that represent the land, participants walk through pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. They are lead by facilitators and are given cards and scrolls to help guide them and give them a role throughout the exercise. The exercise is followed by a debriefing session that gives participants an opportunity to discuss what they just learned.

Maracle has led many Blanket Exercises in the past, but most have been within Queen’s University and at the request of certain groups. The event held on July 7 was a bit different for her, but she hoped it would have similar outcomes.

“The biggest impact that I see from these exercises is that it changes how people view the history,” she said. “A lot of people tell me that they thought they knew the history of Canada’s Indigenous peoples but by actually having to take part and walk in their footsteps they realize they have only learned one side of the history.”

Monk Payne has had similar

experiences with the Blanket Exercise and she has also seen a wide range of emotions emerge as a result.

The exercise also asks participants to step out of their comfort zone and Maracle tries to do the same when she participates too. Often she has run the

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Things I learned on my American road trip really tall signs letting you know from the highway that there are restaurants in the area - usually more specifically that there is a Cracker Barrel nearby.

There always was.

On our first night we stopped over in Tennessee and we realized right away that we were entering the south of the United States. There were advertisements for sweet tea everywhere, accents started to get heavier and everyone was really nice and friendly. We also realized that the stereotypes about American portion sizes were true after Korey ordered an iced coffee and got a cup that literally held more than a litre of coffee (we love coffee, but seriously?)

The longest part of our road trip, both ways, was definitely Georgia.

This state is massive and when you are driving through it, you feel like it’s never going to end. I was surprised to see so many farms in Georgia and we were also surprised to see the size of some of the trees throughout the south.

There are massive willow trees throughout Georgia and Florida that are covered in moss and look like they have been there for hundreds of years - maybe they have. Everything is so lush and green and when you try to find a mall or store it is difficult to see it from the road

Earlier this month Korey and I embarked on an American road trip to Tallahassee, Florida. Prior to the trip, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As I mentioned in a previous column, I had only ever travelled to Florida with my parents when I was younger and did none of the driving, so I was a bit nervous.

The trip got off to a bit of a bumpy start – literally. We chose to take a route that led us through Detroit and to say that this American city needs to invest in some road maintenance is an understatement. I thought our trip was going to end right there in the middle of a giant pothole on the highway, but we made it through. This was also surprising given the car history attached to Detroit, but maybe that is how they test the cars that they build.

The next state we encountered was Ohio, not a very exciting state, although driving through the major interchanges of any American city was fun. Lots of baseball stadiums and

through the trees. It is so beautiful.

When we finally arrived in Tallahassee it didn’t really look like Florida, or at least the version of Florida you see on television. Tallahassee is in the north of the state. There are no beaches and few palm trees, but they do still have the heat. It was so hot the entire week we were there, that now, back in Ontario, our heat feels like nothing.

We did take a trip out to an island close to Tallahassee called St. George’s Island, which is on the Gulf of Mexico and that looked more like ‘Florida’. It had beautiful sandy beaches, tiki bars and most important, fresh oysters from the gulf.

As the week came to a close in Tallahassee, we were sad to leave and perhaps even sadder to have to get back on the road, but the drive really wasn’t so bad.

We saw 12 states over the course of our trip (we took a different route back) and we encountered a lot of really nice people who were happy to chat with us and hear about Canada. Many of them were surprised that we didn’t still have snow and that we actually see hot temperatures in the summer. Overall, it was a trip I would recommend taking if you have the opportunity.

Dark age descending?

In her 2004 book Dark Age Ahead, Jane Jacobs argues that cultural progress is anything but linear. Power forces within our culture can conspire to wrest us away from the levers of peace, prosperity and the betterment of humankind; at times, they even reverse those engines, and may infect our societies and institutions with a fear-driven embrace of racism and tribalism.

And, as the title of the book suggests, Jacobs believes that we may be headed toward those times.

That was before the age of Brexit and Trump. Now, we are beginning to see some of the remarkable insights and scary prescience of her work. For beneath all the wonderful achievements of the age, a cancer has grown, has been permitted to fester, and has now metastasized for all to see. Brexiteers like Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Nigel Farage cynically deployed its forces daily in their campaign to extricate Great Britain from the European Union. Now that they have achieved their aim, having saddled the country knee deep in economic and political morass, what is it that they profess to truly want? Why, nothing more than all of the benefits of free trade with the common market, but just not free movement of people part. Might as well put a giant “No Muslims or Poles” sign at the Calais entrance to the Chunnel.

But it would be wrong to simply lay blame at the feet of the extreme right wing. The know-nothingism currently pervading society runs on both sides of the political spectrum, as we’ve seen with the anti-GMO crusaders or antivaxxers who continue to attest to the dangers of GMO foods and vaccines despite an armada of impressive evidence to the contrary. Indeed, in the Dark Age Ahead, Jacobs writes that prevailing ideology prevents people from finding rational and scientifically verifiable answers to the problems plaguing society today. When clear answers are drowned out by booming empty but popular rhetoric, we can see how it might be tempting for people to reach for easy solutions such as blaming immigration, globalization, establishment elites or even science for things they feel threatened by for no logical reason.

These are dangerous times. Our institutions are failing us at the precise moment that problems such as climate change, over population, and violence of all kinds have begun to imperil our very existence on this planet. There are no easy solutions to be found. Anti-science/anti-elites/anti-intellectualism and the like have become so entrenched that they’ve become the dominant narrative in popular discourse, fuelled by our culture’s increasing obsession with social media and frantically sharing/endorsing stories we don’t understand and often haven’t even read.

Changing the narrative depends on each and every one of us doing our part to critically engage with each other, with the media and with the stories we share.

We need to make more connections rooted in a desire for deeper knowledge and inquiry, holding not just our institutions to account, but also each other. We must resist the temptation for fold back on ourselves, and reach out across the spaces that divide us to see our common humanity.

Letter to the editor Protest against airport expansion illogical

TICO#50007364

I noticed in the June 30 edition of The Kingston Heritage an article about protests against the proposed expansion of the airport runway. The organizer of the protest is a business owner, assuming future noise may disturb the Collins Bay Marina. Here we go again! Due to a few people’s personal interests, we have to drive to Toronto Airport, or to Ottawa Airport, burning litres of Gasoline to travel outside Kingston. Some do

not like public transportations and prefer to drive to generate enough carbon footprint just to transport one. Larger aircrafts should be able to carry larger number of passengers, with less of a carbon footprint per person. However, such possibility must be stopped due to personal and business inconveniences of one person. Other convenient Public transportations for Kingston to outside are Via train and buses. An alternative faster

way of commuting to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal should be by air transport. The airport requires a longer runway to accommodate larger aircrafts for economy, as costs for smaller aircraft are higher. In my opinion, such personal protests against the of majority users of the airport are illogical and incomprehensive.

Rural youth retention requires a new perspective

Aric McBay

This week I was part of a roundtable discussion with Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture about how to attract and retain young people in rural communities.

Much of the discussion revolved around jobs and services (like internet access or community services such as schools).

But the discussion also revealed some bigger structural problems in the way that government policy treats rural communities.

Kingston City Councillor Richard Allen (District 1, Countryside) pointed out

that municipalities get funded for growth.

If they increase their population, if they build more infrastructure, they get more money from higher levels of government.

Areas that don’t increase their population don’t get much money, making it harder to provide community services, making it harder to retain people. It’s vicious cycle.

If we actually want rural communities to thrive and be attractive to young people, we have to change how we think about farming and rural communities.

Since the Second World War, much of Canada’s agricultural policy has been built

families, generate far more money per acre than a monoculture cash crop.

That revenue also has a more beneficial impact on our community, because local dollars circulate here.

A key problem with mass-scale conventional agriculture is that farms make more gross income overall, but farmer net income has stagnated. Some enormous farms may bring in millions of dollars each year, but virtually all of that money goes right back out again to buy equipment, seeds, pesticides, and so on, from companies like Monsanto.

During the roundtable, Minister of Agriculture Jeff Leal explained with pride that the agri-food sector in Ontario contributes $35 billion to the province’s GDP. But so much of that $35 billion in agri-food GDP goes right back out to the corporate headquarters of Monsanto, or Cargill, or John Deere, and to wealthy investors in the US or overseas.

Money spent on local farmers, in contrast, circulates in the community.

Every dollar spent on local food generates several more dollars for the local economy. And those dollars can provide meaningful jobs.

That’s the kind of approach we need if we actually want to revitalize rural communities, attract young people and fight climate change.

And that’s the kind of approach Ontario Small ecological farms create more rural jobs. Photo/ Andree Thorpe should prioritize.

on the idea that bigger is always better. If one farmer can plough a hundred acres, that’s okay, but it’s better to plough a thousand acres, or ten thousand. Canada’s agricultural policy has encouraged that, meaning bigger farms, bigger tractors, bigger everything.

The result, especially in the prairies, has been rural depopulation as farms get bigger, and farmers get farther apart. The same pressures are at work in much of Ontario.

As farmers get fewer and farther apart, rural populations shrink, schools and hospitals close, hardware stores shut down, government services get cut.

Villages and hamlets wither.

The prevailing attitude of economists in the last 50 years is that this is a good thing - that if one farmer

Unfortunately, as it turns out, gigantic monoculture farms are not very efficient in their use of energy, water, and soil. Huge fields growing single crops require a lot of inputs like pesticides, fertilizers, and diesel fuel for the heavy equipment. The ecological expenses are enormous.

Our farm, in contrast, strives to be sustainable. We have a lot of staff, which means a lot of farmers and farm workers concentrated especially on a few acres of garden. In the gardens we actually have more than one farmer per acre.

In the old way of thinking, this is inefficient. In the old way of thinking, you should be counting in acres per farmer, not farmers per acre.

Wolfe Island ferry study: Concerns raised with MPP Sophie Kiwala

by Margaret Knott

News- Frontenac Island Mayor Doyle, Councillor Barbara Springgay, and CAO Darlene Plumley met recently with MPP Sophie Kiwala to raise concerns regarding the Environmental Assessment Preliminary Design Study (dock improvements) for the Wolfe Island ferry service, recently released to the public for comment.

“The focus of the meeting with MPP Kiwala was on the large environmental foot print of the dock changes that were presented for the Marysville dock, which is a major deviation from the 2011 planning study portion of the Environmental Assessment, all without having been advised or asked for input on such major and unnecessary changes prior to MTO presenting the proposal to the public,” Mayor Doyle said following the meeting. Design alternatives were presented in June by the Morrison Hershfield study team, for docking improvements at the Dawson Point and Marysville terminals at a public Information Centre. The alternatives presented for Marysville eliminate entirely the ferry line in the village. Instead the 3 alternatives presented include major dock extensions (up to 500 ft. into the water) to accommodate all the vehicle marshalling and parking involved. The Dawson Point alternatives include major land acquisitions or exten-

sions, similar to those proposed for Marysville, also into the water.

“We presented our position, that yes, changes are required at the Marysville dock to make it more accessible, to better handle walk on and bicycle traffic, with perhaps a ferry controlled light at Fargo’s corner to speed up unloading of the ferry” , Doyle said. “ But the proposed changes presented (by the study team) would totally change the shoreline of our quaint little village, are unnecessary and financially unjustifiable. Too much.” Doyle noted that the township bylaw has been recently changed to better control and speed up loading of the ferry lineup.

“We feel that once everyone does their part to live by the rules of the ferry line (well described with signs along the route), we will have no problem loading fast enough to keep the ferry on schedule,” adding that the bylaw officer and summer MTO staff will be encouraging this over the next few weeks. Mayor Doyle also noted discussion about the planned new 75 car ferry which, once in place, with the Wolfe Islander will allow more vehicles to leave the island requiring less parking in the village . “There is the need for a ferry Road 7051 rebuild to Dawson Point to handle commercial/agricultural/ service truck traffic to and from the island.”

City cooks up deal with Weston Bakery to get K&P Trail land important in order to keep the trail project on track.

“It was crucial. It we weren’t able to get that land swap we would not be able to finish the K&P trail in time for next July 1,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson.

But the city had to give in order to get.

As part of the land swap, Weston will acquire an unopened section at the top of Patrick Street that it currently uses as a driveway for trucks to access its loading bays.

The city has owned the roadway rights since a plan of subdivision was filed in the 1870s, but never opened it.

“The City does not maintain this portion of Patrick Street as an open road allowance, and it is assumed that it never has in its 142 years of existence,” said Huigenbos.

Acquiring ownership of the unopened street will also enable Weston to install fencing around its north end bakery plant to prevent theft, trespassing and squatting.

The adjacent Coca-Cola plant will also benefit from improved security and driveway access due to the land swap, according to city officials.

“With ownership, Weston can invest in repairs to the driveway and secure it from would-be trespassers who use the publicly-owned land to gain access to Weston’s property,” explained Huigenbos.

The city and Weston swapped some other small land parcels around the bakery to complete the negotiations.

“In addition to securing lands necessary for the K&P Trail project, the City will acquire lands benefiting the Public Works Site redevelopment at 701 Division Street, and secure lands for a possible future road network extension north of the Montreal Street and Railway Street intersection,” said Huigenbos.

The land deal is part of the city’s fast-track plan to complete the 6.4 kilometre long K&P Trail extension into the urban core for cyclists and pedestrians as a Canada sesquicentennial legacy project.

“That was really our vision as council to have that trail ready for Canada’s 150th. Everything is full steam ahead. We will be ready for July 1, 2017,” said Paterson.

The $3.4 million extension covering both existing sidewalks and newly-paved pathways – will snake its way southeast from the current trailhead on Binnington Court to Doug Fluhrer Park.

The urban portion won’t exactly follow the same route of the original train track line. The trail extension will start from Binnington and Dalton Avenue and head east along Dalton Avenue to St. Remy Place, then go alongside the main CN train tracks behind Canadian Tire to Division Street. The route will follow existing sidewalks to John Counter Blvd., then veer south off Elliott Avenue to Hagerman Avenue and cut through the Weston Bakery property. The trail crosses Montreal Street and follows the abandoned rail bed to Cataraqui Street, then heads toward the waterfront beside the Woolen Mill to Doug Fluhrer Park.

The undeveloped sections will need plenty of work over the next year; creating asphalt trails, improving sidewalks, way-finding signage, crosswalk improvements and improved drainage.

Councillors want the urban section of the trail to be used by commuters as well as recreational users.

“The hope is people will use the trail to get to work,” said Coun. Rob Hutchison.

The original K&P train route got its name from the 19th century Kingston-Pembroke line, which ceased railway operations in the 1960s. Sections of the abandoned track right-of-way were later bought by various private land owners.

Train station relocation joins North King’s Town study

By Bill Hutchins

News – An abandoned 19th century train station in Kingston’s north end won’t be on the move anytime soon.

ABNA Investments has offered to purchase the old Grand Trunk Railway Outer Station on Montreal Street from CN Rail on the condition the station can be moved to a downtown park. “There’s still a lot of work to do, a lot things to satisfy both in regards to lands historically and the community,” said ABNA property manager Nate Doornekamp.

The company, which specializes in restoring heritage properties, wants to pack up the limestone blocks of the 1850s train station and move them to a section of Doug Fluhrer Park along the Inner Harbour.

In exchange for taking onetenth of an acre of municipal park space for the structure, ABNA proposes giving the city two-thirds of an acre of nearby waterfront land it owns.

After more than a year of study on the pros and cons of the proposed land swap, councillors recently decided to study it some more. They are

rolling the station relocation plan into the North King’s Town Secondary Plan, which is currently examining ways to revitalize the Old Industrial Area and Inner Harbour lands.

“Staff will be incorporating the potential relocation project of the Grand Trunk Train Station within the context of the North King’s Town Visioning Exercise.

The proponent (ABNA) is in agreement with this process,” said a report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle.

Some residents, and even a few councillors, oppose the station’s relocation. At a recent public meeting, they raised concerns with the land swap, such as: -the city isn’t gaining much through the land exchange since it already has access to a 30 foot wide pedestrian right-of-way easement along the same waterfront space that ABNA wants to give, -moving the Grand Trunk station from its original site could impact its heritage context, -putting a restored train station in Doug Fluhrer Park would erode the park’s limited amount of open space.

The developer says the

offer to move the 1850s-era station, with only the stabilized limestone outer walls standing, would make it more attractive for future commercial or residential uses. “It’s the proximity to downtown. It’s a better place to attract tenants. In its current location, as some of the councillors stated, there’s really nothing going on there,” Doornekamp explained.

ABNA has a conditional offer to purchase from CN Rail, but the project must clear federal heritage approvals before ABNA can take ownership.

The Outer Station, which welcomed kings and queens and sent local troops off to war in its heyday, has a history of being difficult to repurpose at its current location. “It’s going to be a real leap of faith to try and jump start something out there. History has shown that a few people have tried and I don’t think they’ve gotten very far,” Doornekamp explained.

Doornekamp has stated that this is an all-or-nothing proposal for the train station – he won’t buy it if he can’t move it. “If we have to leave it in the same space we will walk away from it.”

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

Events – It has been two years since the MacKinnon brothers launched their family farm brewery in Bath and while they were hopeful that the idea would take off, they never expected the success they’ve seen.

“The community response has been great and we are really happy with it,” said Dan MacKinnon.

“Everyone has been really supportive and we didn’t really know what to expect, but we are happy with the way it turned out.”

Last summer, as a way to thank the community for their support, the brewery hosted a special daylong concert on the farm. The event was a huge success and because of that, they decided to do it all over again this year.

“We had a great turnout and it was a lot of fun,” said MacKinnon. “It is kind of an opportunity to showcase local bands, serve our beer and have a good time.”

This year, the Back to the Farm event will take place on Sunday, Aug. 21 and MacKinnon hopes that the day will attract even more people.

“The idea is just to come out and have a good time, enjoy yourself and maybe take a tour of the brewery and see what we are all about,” he said.

“We’ve got 10 bands coming out.

Most of them are from Kingston and they are people we have connected with and really enjoy.”

The day will feature local bands like Goldwing, Lost Cousins and Busty and the Bass. Cost for the event is $20 through advanced tickets and $25 at the event. Brewery tours will be offered with a request for donations that will go to charity.

“We wanted to give back and we tossed around some ideas about who to give back to and we immediately thought of the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research,” said MacKinnon. “It made a lot of sense and it definitely fits well with our theme.”

Coincidentally, the event on the farm also takes place one day after the final Tragically Hip show in Kingston.

“We had our event planed before they announced so we hope people will just keep the party going and come out,” said MacKinnon.

The event will also feature local food trucks that MacKinnon has invited and Dan expects there will be about 10 to 12 offering “something for everyone”.

Last year, the event attracted about 800 community members and this year MacKinnon is expecting more and he encourages everyone to

come check it out.

“It is not that much money for 10 bands, the food is great and the beer is great and we are brewing

just unbelievable and a bit overwhelming - and this is without the students in town.”

McCreery started Barcadia with longtime friend Rob Sheldon. The pair had briefly talked about bar ideas before, but it wasn’t until Sheldon sent a text message to McCreery early this year that they really started to think about it seriously.

“We talked in mid-February over text about doing it and I said I wanted to do an arcade bar. He came back with a text that said ‘Barcadia?’ and it just clicked,” said Sheldon.

McCreery was inspired by bar arcades he’d seen pop up across the United States over the past couple of years. He had even developed a business plan, bought the rights to the name Barcadia and secured the URL, but he was looking for the right space and waiting for the right time.

“I wanted to do it eventually, but I wasn’t sure it would work,” he said. “But then my wife just told me to go for it and here we are.”

The space, formerly My Bar, is located at 347 Princess Street and coincidentally used to be an arcade in the ‘70s.

“The landlord gave us a photo of what the space used to be - it was Bennies Arcade,” said McCreery. “That was pretty cool to see and we are happy to bring that back to this space and back to the community.”

Both McCreery and Sheldon both frequented arcades when they were younger; they loved playing racing games and Mortal Kombat, respectively, but when arcades started charging more than a quarter a game, they, like other players, started to lose interest.

“I think that was when arcades started to die, especially when they charged a dollar a game,” said McCreery. “We thought about that when we were opening here and because of that it was really important for us to keep everything at a quarter. Everyone has been really happy with that.”

Barcadia features over 30 arcade games and a ‘living room’ area with booths featuring televisions hooked up to vintage game consoles. The games came from a variety of places including wholesalers in Toronto and sellers on Kijiji. Some even came from the owners themselves.

“I bought the Terminator 2 game when I was 25, 13 years ago. It came along with me to apartments and then it came with me when my wife and I bought our first house. She was always wondering why I kept it,” said McCreery. “Now, we put it in here and it is one of the most popular games. It is such a classic game and it is great to see others enjoying it.”

Games in Barcadia range from classics like Pac Man to Space Invaders to bowling and racing games, but they are constantly looking for more games.

Community members have been offering plenty of suggestions too.

‘The response has been unbelievable’: Barcadia delights Kingstonians of all ages, say owners Continued from page 16

“Pinball has been a suggestion from a lot of people and we are working on that,” said McCreery.

“We’d like to get about 10 more arcade games to keep up with demand in here and maybe add a second floor at some point too.”

For now though, McCreery and Sheldon are just trying to keep up with how busy the bar has been.

They are also grateful for their staff.

“We had no bar experience and so our bar staff, especially Krystal and Amanda, have been amazing,” said McCreery. “I was in marketing before this and Rob owns Monster Gamez at Frontenac Mall, but this is a whole new thing for us and we feel so fortunate to have such

success.”

The duo are also planning ways to give back to the community.

They are hosting an Awesome Kingston pitch party later this month and planning a special fundraiser in August to help support the Gord Downie Fund.

“We are doing a ‘Gaming for Gord’ night on the night of the [Tragically Hip] concert, Aug. 20.

We will have a big sound system and projector hooked up to have the concert going and then all the proceeds from that night will go right to the charity,” said McCreery.

“It is nice to give back. The Tragically Hip helped put Kingston on the map and growing up here that was really important. It’s

nice to give back and bring the community together.”

They hope the success of Barcadia continues and they are happy to see people of all ages enjoying the space.

“We see people who are 18 in here and then we have guys in their 60s or 70s that come in and have just as good a time,” said Sheldon.

“People are bringing their kids to show them what they used to play and then other people come in and play the multi-player games with strangers and have a great time. It really appeals to so many people and it is great to see it all come together.”

New owners hope to make Battersea’s Holiday Manor Fishing Lodge a destination spot

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Since 1912, the Holiday Manor Fishing Lodge in Battersea has been serving the sport fishing community. The lodge opens every summer, providing boat rentals and a place for fisherman to stay - but when Jeff Day and Core Lee came across the lodge this past spring, they thought it could be so much more.

“This place has so much potential,” said Day. “We saw it and immediately fell in love with it and we have some big plans for it.”

Day has worked in the hospitality industry in Toronto for the past 20 years, but he grew up on a farm in Chaffey’s Lock. He spent his summers working at the Opinicon Resort in the area and

on a recent trip back home, his partner, Core Lee, asked about the resort.

“We talked about it and what a great place it was and then we learned that it recently sold at auction for very little,” said Day. “We felt like it was a missed opportunity so we started looking for other possibilities.”

Day and Lee hadn’t really thought about owning a hotel or bed and breakfast before that, but as they looked into locations in Muskoka and Niagara-on-the-Lake, they fell in love with the idea.

“Those locations were a bit out of our price range so we came up here and found the Holiday Manor,” said Day. “It wasn’t even for sale, but we made an offer and the owners accepted.”

The 10,000 square foot limestone manor was

built in 1840 and was appealing to the duo because of its historical charm – Sir John A. Macdonald practiced law in the dining room at one point – and its potential to host events like weddings, holiday events and family gatherings. They liked that it catered to the fishing community, but they thought it could do so much more.

“It had a business model that was working with the fishing lodge so we are going to mirror that and advance it to the next level,” said Day. “We see this place as a destination or a getaway.”

Day and Lee have a five-year plan to get the Holiday Manor to that level and they plan on doing a lot of the work themselves.

“Core has a background in construction and food production and I have a hospitality background so it works really well with our skill

sets,” said Day. “I was a bit worried at first, but I think now, after about a week, we are really happy with the decision and excited for what is to come.”

The first step is to build a deck and put a hot tub in on the back of the property.

“We want people to come here and relax and that will contribute to that,” said Day. “We also want to keep the place open all year round going forward so a hot tub makes that more appealing too.”

The lodge currently has 22 bedrooms, but they plan on taking a few out to make room for more personal bathrooms. They also want to make some aesthetic improvements throughout.

“Some of the older carpets and the wallpaper need to go and some of the light fixtures, but the structure of the building is great,” said Day. “We have to keep the history and the furniture, but we want to modernize the rest and really make it more modern. We want to expose the limestone in the walls where we can too.”

With all the changes, the couple was a bit nervous about how the community would react, but feedback has been overwhelmingly positive so far.

“We are open for breakfasts right now Thursday to Saturday and the locals are coming and chatting with us. Everyone is friendly and many are offering to help if they can,” said Day. “We put out a sign on the weekend that we can host events and we’ve had so many inquiries.”

So what has been the most challenging part for Lee and Day? “Getting Wi-Fi,” said Day. “We have thick limestone walls so we had to get boosters to make the signal go through the entire space. That has been the hardest part so far.”

Day and Lee are looking forward to meeting the guests who will be staying at the Manor over the coming months, but they are also looking forward to seeing everything progress in the space.

“We are exhausted, but excited,” said Day. “We want to launch a new breakfast menu in mid-July and start serving brunches and develop a holiday menu too. We see it as a business that will be built on good quality food and service and we want to be known for our events.”

HMCS Kingston comes home

By Mandy Marciniak

Crawford Wharf was a little fuller last weekend as Her Majesty’s Canadian Ships (HMCS) Kingston arrived for a visit to its namesake city.

The stop was part of a two-week tour of Canadian port cities along the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes and the ship arrived in the Limestone City early in the morning on July 8.

“It was beautiful coming into Kingston,” said LCdr Paul Mountford, Commanding Officer for the HMCS Kingston. “We were really looking

forward to our visit here. It has been almost five years since our last visit and that is long overdue for our namesake city.”

In addition to docking at Crawford Wharf, the ship also opened for public tours July 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Visiting the city we are named after gives us an opportunity to connect more with the public and that is always important,” said Mountford.

“We’ll be visiting with Kingstonians as much as we can and we are really looking forward to sharing the ship with them.”

Giving back to community a two-way street for First Capital award winner hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

When you’re a father of three, a full-time mortgage agent, part-time freelance reporter and tireless community volunteer whose work includes making sure an entire city makes it to and from their daily destinations in a safe and timely manner, something has to be sacrificed somewhere along the line.

For Cris Vilela, more often than not this thing is sleep.

“The easiest thing to forego is some semblance of sleep,” he laughs. “I probably get on average maybe five or six hours a day, which is okay for now.”

Vilela was honoured on Canada Day with a First

Capital Honourable Achievement award for his volunteer work on the Twitter and Facebook pages Make it Home YGK, as well local organizations Sustainable Kingston and Awesome Kingston, for which he has served as a board member and trustee, respectively.

Vilela says it only feels right to give back to a community that has contributed so much to his own life.

“I came to Kingston at the age of nine from Portugal and it’s given me so much over the course of the last 25 years. I’ve met so many wonderful people in that period of time that I feel like it’s an obligation to be able to give back at least a little bit.”

In June of 2011, Vilela started Make it Home YGK (@YGKTraffic), Twitter and Facebook pages on which he relays up-to-the-minute traffic and public

safety information crowd-sourced from his tens of thousands of local followers. The idea, he says, was born out of frustration.

“I got stuck in traffic one day myself and was really lamenting the fact that there wasn’t a place I could have gone beforehand to check and see any big delays in between my two appointments. When I got home that night, I started the account, not really knowing whether it was going to be something that people would be interested in or not.”

Vilela’s work with Sustainable Kingston was inspired by a concern for his children’s future.

“I want to make sure that I leave this world better for them than it was left to me, and that this city, for the foreseeable future, continues to be improved upon,” he says.

“One of the most important ways to do that is to make sure it’s doing things in a sustainable manner.”

As a board member, he played a significant role in transitioning Sustainable Kingston to meet the new mandate of the council that was elected in 2014.

“People think about sustainability usually just as environmental, but there are many other components to that as well – economic, cultural, etc. – I wanted to have even a small hand in making sure [Kingston] is sustainable in those different ways.”

Cris Vilela walks in the Canada Day parade with his Vilela also contributed to upping the kids Elena (right), Sophia and Oliver before receiving “awesome” factor of the city for a num- his Civic Award.

He also credits the community itself for making “They’re just such a fun group,” Vilela says. “It’s Make It Home YGK such a success. just 10 people getting together and giving $1,000 to a “It’s a little bit odd for me to be accepting an award good cause.” for something that really is kind of community derived.

Despite it all, Vilela admits he feels a bit sheepish It should be a recognition of the entire municipality about receiving the First Capital Award. that thousands of people every day send information “The truth is I get as much out of the things I do as out to each other to help them make it home safely.”

Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival expands Mark Bergin COLUMNIST

@markaidanbergin

It’s summer, which means great professional theatre in Perth. It’s also Perth’s 200th anniversary. One never needs a reason to visit one of the

prettiest towns in the province, but in this bicentennial year everything’s ramped up a notch.

The Classic Theatre Festival, now in its seventh season, brings consistently high quality theatre to eastern Ontario. This year the festival is longer, and they’ve expanded the number of shows to five, two of which are walking plays.

Matthew Behrens, the Classic

Theatre Festival’s Associate Producer, explained that the festival selects shows that were classics on Broadway or London stages.

“This year we’ve got Neil Simon, George Bernard Shaw and J.B. Priestly, playwrights who were all incredibly popular.”

The 2016 season opened in June with River of Memory, one

of the company’s walking plays.

River of Memory is part of the Perth Through the Ages series, which each year highlights aspects of Perth’s historic past.

“River of Memory a very compelling story that looks at early indigenous and settler relations,” said Matthew Behrens, the Classic Theatre

Festival’s Associate Producer It’s about someone who is questioning his identity and ancestry after the death of a loved one. It’s especially relevant in this age. A lot of individuals who do have indigenous heritage are reconnecting.”

Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival expands evenings at 7 p.m. The play, which moves through the core of Perth, tells the tale of a famous distiller and his tempestuous relationship with a women’s temperance leader.

The other walking tour is The Lonely “It’s a comedy about a young woman Ghosts Walk, which is held on Friday who hitchhikes across America to reconnect with her father,” said Behrens.

when to be divorced often meant to be estranged from the community. People didn’t talk about divorce, whereas today we see it simply as a sign of being human.”

Simon’s I Ought to be in Pictures runs through July 17.

An important component of the Classic Theatre Festival is the opportunity to attend a pre-show talk.

“We talk about each play, and place it in the context of its era. For example, for I Ought to be in Pictures, we look at cultural references for the play. This helps the jokes in the play make sense. Many people thank us after a show for offering the pre-show talk, telling us it really helped them appreciate and understand the play. We do this for every play on the main stage, giving the social and culture context.”

Pre-show talks are presented at 1:30 p.m. for matinees and 7:30 p.m. for evening performances.

The second production of the season is Shaw’s Arms and the Man. “It’s a very funny play about an idealistic naive young woman who has very romantic ideas about war, until she meets a soldier from the other side,” said Behrens. “You can see that the sparks will start flying immediately. People forget that Shaw’s plays are full of these inventive and witty characters. Wilde gets a lot of the credit for satire, but Shaw nails it in a gentle way as he satirizes our foibles and frailties.”

In the case of Arms and the Man, Shaw not only satirizes the human condition, he also takes some biting pokes at the futility of war in general.

Arms and the Man will be on the main stage from July 22 through August 14.

The third and final production of the

summer is the thriller/mystery An Inspector Calls, a play first performed in Russia and the United Kingdom in the late 1940s.

“A body has shown up and everybody in the family who is featured is suspect,” said Behrens. “It’s a really interesting play about the notion that you may think you are disconnected from consequences of a decision, but you really are not. It was particularly appropriate for people [at the end of] the Second World War.” Each production on the main stage at 54 Beckwith Street East runs with matinees at 2 p.m. from Wednesday through Sunday, and evening shows on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 p.m.

The Classic Theatre Festival has grown considerably since its first year.

Behrens said he’s pleased with the large number of people who return from previous years.

“We’re seeing these lovely faces of all ages returning year after year, from all over eastern Ontario, Quebec and New York State,” he said. “We see new people, many of them young people, some coming for the first time, who have never seen what a transformative experience theatre can be. It’s professional theatre with a community feel. There’s nothing wrong with being in a massive theatre, but when there are 3000 seats, you don’t meet the producers on a daily basis.”

In Perth, on the main stage, you’ll enjoy professional productions in a smaller air-conditioned theatre, where every seat is a good one.

Behrens explained that, although it wasn’t intentionally planned, the shows chosen for this season fit Perth’s 200th anniversary celebrations.

“I think there’s a sense of not only looking back but looking back with an eye to righting wrongs,” he said. “With a group implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommendations, the ideas in our shows really fit in. They’re about Established 1876 bringing people together after disconnection and Local People providing Local People with breakages in reFARM • HOME • AUTO lationships. What better way to bring • CONDOMINIUM • COMMERCIAL people together than • INSURANCE through theatre?”

Mary’s Wedding confronts love, war and time

By Mark Bergin

Stephen Massicotte’s play Mary’s Wedding promises to bring an emotional zing to the summer theatre scene in Kingston. The upcoming production, part of Kingston’s fringe-like Storefront Festival, brings one of the best known Canadian plays to a Kingston stage. From an international perspective, few Canadian plays ever reach the level of success as that of Mary’s Wedding.

For a start, it’s one of the few Canadian plays to succeed in New York City. Starting at Westport Country Playhouse in Connecticut, and then into New York City, Mary’s Wedding received consistently positive reviews in the American press, including the New York Times.

With the creation of Mary’s Wedding, Canadian playwright Stephen Massicotte gave the world a gem that continues to touch audiences.

For director Chantel Martin, a Queen’s University drama grad, it’s a special piece of theatre for many reasons, not the least of which is that it’s her swan song to Kingston.

“Mary’s Wedding was the first play I ever saw, way back when it was performed at Theatre Orangeville, and I instantly fell in love with the story and grandeur of it,” said Martin. “It was also the first play I saw when I came to Queen’s University, and, since this will be my last show in Kingston before I move away, I thought, ‘What better play to put on as my farewell to Kingston?’”

After graduating from Queen’s University, Martin founded commonplacetheatre. She has done three shows with the company: 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane, Gruesome Playground Injuries by Rajiv Joseph and now Mary’s Wedding.

“I am trying to push myself and my work as a director in as many directions as I can while I have the safety of having a small scale company,” she said.

Promo material for Mary’s Wedding informs the audience: “We find ourselves on the night before Mary’s wedding and quickly become enveloped in this beautiful story about first love. Spanning the years of WWI, this play takes us on a journey of hope, love, war and a dream of what could have been.”

Like much of Massicotte’s brilliant work, Mary’s Wedding deals with time (or non-time). Mary’s Wedding plays with both time and space. Those who saw Massicotte’s The Clockmaker at the Thousand Islands Playhouse a few summers ago will be familiar with the playwright’s masterful fiddling with the web of time, as well as the real and unreal. In Massicotte’s stage world, time is not linear; it weaves in and out of itself like a Celtic knot. Likewise, space is not always here; sometimes it’s there.

“This play is first and foremost a dream, which is such an amazing world to work in because anything can happen in a dream,” said Martin.

One of the more difficult considerations for director Martin is the fact that she will not see her venue until the play is almost ready to take to the stage. She explained that being in a fringe-like performance (as part of Theatre Kingston’s Storefront Festival in the larger Kick & Push Festival) means that they do not get to work in their performance space until a day or two before the first curtain.

“Which is both frightening and exciting at the same time,” she said.

The play is a contradiction. There’s the potential for epic storytelling, yet it’s staged as a two-hander with an understated set.

The script, on the surface, appears simple enough: love, loss, war. But Massicotte is a wizard at manipulating time. In fact, in Mary’s Wedding it’s as if time has no place.

The audience fully experiences the terror and tragedy of war while feeling the intimacy of love and longing. Mary’s Wedding is as unique a look at war as was Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun. But

Mary’s Wedding is without moralizing. Instead, Massicotte has humanized love’s place within war.

Martin said that the play shifts from scene to scene and blends from dialogue to direct audience address constantly.

“We need to immerse the audience in the love story, but also the heartbreak and horror that was very prevalent throughout WWI. We have Mary and Charlie, who are young and in love, so the audience gets to witness the beauty and naivety associated with that. But then the audience gets to be immersed in what happens to a relationship when war breaks out and the utter sense of longing for a loved one that is experienced on both fronts.

“Stephen Massicotte has done an amazing job with this play, since the text paints such a vivid picture of the harshness of war contrasted with the simpleness of rural life, which is quite the challenge to bring to light on stage.”

Martin said that she is drawn to plays that delve into emotional turmoil. She’s diving directly into the deep end with Mary’s Wedding.

From the terror of the battlefield to moments of loving intimacy, Mary’s Wedding is epic in scope, yet it never loses the simple heartbeat of love that beats throughout the story.

“We can get bogged down in realism on stage, and so I have decided to play with the dream aspect of the piece,” said Martin. “This way our audiences’ imagination can be stretched and the performers can re-purpose objects onstage constantly.”

Although set within the expanse of the First World War, the show, at its most primitive level is about relationships of every form, from the romantic moments of a wedding to the downward spiral of relationships gone bad on the massive scale of war.

“This piece of theatre speaks to many different aspects of relationships, but mostly it deals with a sense of forgiveness and of allowing oneself to let go. It’s also very real in the sense that we get a full scope of the relationship over many years and have to navigate the emotional ups and downs of it with the actors, the audience is so immediate in this piece that they become a part of the story themselves. They are directly spoken to and told such tender thoughts and experiences that it is impossible not to feel for the characters on stage.”

Massicotte is a gifted story weaver. He admits that his English grammar is “awful,” but that supposed flaw does not get in the way of his writing. He’s a masterful storyteller, a much more difficult skill to master than grammar. Some would argue that you can improve anyone’s grammar, but you cannot create a storyteller. It’s an innate gift that is tapped.

The creation of Mary’s Wedding was no simple task. It took three years of research and two years in the workshop and rewrite phase with Alberta Theatre Projects (ATP). The effort has reaped both artistic and practical rewards (and awards).

Since its debut in at ATP playRites Festival in Calgary in 2002, Mary’s Wedding received the Betty Mitchell Award for Outstanding New Play and the Gwen Pharis Ringwood Award for Outstanding New Publication. It has been produced in numerous settings around North America and in Scotland. Massicotte has also crafted the screenplay for Mary’s Wedding. The play is ripe for a metamorphosis into an epic Hollywood film. Mary’s Wedding has been translated into French, as well as having been adapted as an opera.

One important aspect of the play, often neglected in analyses of productions like this, is healing.

“Most importantly though this production deals with the passage of time—how it takes time to truly know someone, how it takes time to understand an experience, how it takes time to heal and how it takes time to accept things (both good and bad) in our lives.”

Mary’s Wedding, this play of epic potential, will

be presented at Venue # 1 of the Storefront Festival at 259 Princess Street on July 16 (2 p.m.), 17 (6:30 p.m.), 19 (9 p.m.), 21 (2 p.m.), 22 (6:30 p.m.) and 23 (9 p.m.). Tickets are available through the Grand Theatre website: kingstongrand.ca.

Latest fad in lawn care fascinates family Mother stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the yard. She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass. This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that

only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm. Which wasn’t very often.

Mary Cook Everett was given the job until he cut off the toe of his gum rubbers one COLUMNIST day, missing his foot by a mere inch, editorial@theheritageemc.ca and that was the end of that.

It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she Buying your first house? was going to buy Decided to move into a larger home?

AARON BUCHNER

time to build it up again, but it would be worth it.

Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it. We would be taking the old Model T instead of the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. The ad showed a picture of it too, and it vowed it was the latest thing in lawn care.

So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years! When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never seen anything like it. It had two small

wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside. Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please.

He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Everett started on giving the grass in the yard its first proper cut in its history!

Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like soldiers waiting to see this new fangled contraption that was going to change our yard into something to brag about.

Latest fad in lawn care fascinates family Continued from page 34

Everett, being the oldest, was given the privilege of being the first to use the new lawn mower. It was hard slugging, since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told. He managed to cut a swath right down the middle from the pump to the back stoop. Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face. Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the

cow byre.

Finally, the whole yard was done.

It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still standing where the lawn mower had missed. The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly mowed lawn. Father emerged from the barn, came over and slumped down on the step beside us. He lit his pipe, letting his eyes roam from one end of the yard to the next. He wasn’t about to admit it looked any better. “Look’s like a bad hair cut to me,” he said, between puffs on his pipe.

How to transform a fixer-upper The real estate market will always have its ups and downs, but real estate is an oft-profitable investment. Real estate investors do their investing for various reasons.

Some see a house as a place to hang their hats for years and years, while others look at properties as nothing more than investments.

Buying a home with the intent to fix it up and resell it is called a “fix and flip.” In such situations, investors buy homes at below-market prices before refurbishing the homes with the goal of recouping their initial investment and then some when the homes are ultimately put back on the market. Flipping has become popular for both expert remodelers and novice investors. RealtyTrac®, the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, noted in its “Year-End and Q4 2015 U.S. Home Flipping” report that 5.5 percent of all single family home and condo sales during the year were flipped properties. This marked an increase from the same time the previous year.

Investing in a fixer-upper requires a leap of faith and a vision of what the home can look like in the future. Turning a real estate lemon into lemonade requires certain skills and a good measure of patience. The following are some guidelines to get anyone started.

• Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Make an honest assessment of your abilities and which renovations, if any, you can handle.

If you are unskilled or inexperi-

enced working with your hands, then it can be easy for an investment property to quickly become a money pit. Before purchasing a property, hire a trained home inspector to tour the home with you and point out all of the areas that will need renovation. With this list, begin getting estimates on how much money the work will entail. Determine if this fits with your budget or not. You do not want to invest so much that it exceeds what you could feasibly recoup when it comes time to sell.

• Overlook cosmetic things when visiting properties. Cosmetic issues include all of the easily replaceable items in a home, such as carpeting, appliances, interior paint colors and cabinetry. Focus on the bones of the house — the architectural integrity and those little touches that you envision having a “wow” factor.

• Seek the help of experts. Some flippers think they’ll save the most money by doing all of the work themselves. This isn’t always the case. Professional architects, designers and contractors may help you save money. Contractors have an intimate knowledge of where to buy materials and may be able to negotiate prices based on wholesale or trade costs. In addition, experts can help you avoid common pitfalls because they’ve already done this type of work time and again. It’s smart to rely on expert advice, even if it means investing a little bit more.

• Save money by doing some work yourself. While the pros may tackle the more complex parts of a given project, such as rewiring electricity or changing the footprint of a home, you can still be involved. Ask to participate in demolition, such as taking down walls or removing old materials from the home. Such participation may be fun, and it can save you substantial amounts of money on labor.

• Recognize that not everything must be completely redone. Realize that, in some instances, a coat of paint and some new accents may be all you need to transform a space. For example, if kitchen cabinets are in good condition, see if they can be refaced or painted instead of replaced entirely.

Install new door pulls/handles to add visual interest. Look for some ready-made items, such as bookshelves, instead of installing custom carpentry.

• Think about what the buyer wants and not what you want. Renovate with an eye toward prospective buyers’ needs. Keep things neutral and accommodating. Research the latest trends to understand what buyers might be seeking in a home. You want potential buyers to envision themselves moving right in.

Renovating a fixer-upper takes time, but it can be a worthwhile project, and one that can help anyone turn a profit in a booming real estate market.
