Kingston sailor hopes to ‘leave it all on the water and walk away happy’ at first Olympic games By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News - After years of training and hard work, Kingston native Danielle Boyd is heading to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro this summer. The 26-year-old sailor, along with her teammate and skipper Erin Rafuse, will compete in the women’s skiff 49erFX sailing competition at the games. The pair earned a spot for Canada at the games last fall, but they still had to qualify as a team earlier this year. “We found out in March that we had been nominated to the team,” explained Boyd. “It was really exciting because we were one of the first teams named. We knew really early and that was incredibly helpful and it took a lot of stress off.” Since March, it has been a lot of practicing and preparation for the games, including Cristina Goncalves performs in the Blue Canoe production of Chicago.Tickets for the Tony a couple of practice runs on Award-winning musical are available at the Grand Theatre box office or online at king- the Olympic course in Rio. “It has been productive.

ing.” The other challenge for Boyd and Rafuse has been the financial cost associated with competing in the Olympics. They are responsible for providing all of their own equipment, but luckily their hometowns have been very supportive. “We have had huge community support form both Kingston and Halifax (Erin Rafuse’s hometown) and we have raised an amazing amount of money and that has helped us cover all of our costs for the next few months,” said Boyd. “I don’t know what we would do without that support both emotionally and financially.” So what is Boyd looking forward to the most about the Olympics? “Everything,” she said. “I am really looking forward to walking in for the opening ceremonies. I think that is when it will really sink in that it is actually happenContinued on page 2

We have done three training camps in Rio at the site and those have been really helpful,” said Boyd. “We have been working to get to know the area and the course areas too. It has been a lot of back and forth, but it’s worth it.” While there has been a lot of worry about the water quality in Rio and how that will affect the athletes, Boyd says the water has been better than expected. “It’s not as bad as we initially thought it would be and we have been coping,” she said. “The challenging part has been the weather, wind and water currents.” According to Boyd, the course in Rio is one of the most difficult she has seen and that has made training very challenging. “There are a lot of geographical effects because of the landscape,” she said. “It is really beautiful, but really mountainous and that creates some difficult wind effects and some massive waves that make sailing really challeng-

She is also a bit nervous about competing, but she hopes that will pass after the racing begins. “I always get really nervous
at the beginning of a regatta and the anticipation of the first race, but once that is over with I think I’ll feel a lot better,” she said.
“We are really just hoping to do our best. We have the potential to do quite well and if we sail to
our potential and things fall our way I think we’ll have a great event.”

CANADA'S FIRM FOR SMALL BUSINESS TAX NEEDS
Community comes together to support Battersea family after fatal motor vehicle accident In the aftermath of the fatal motor vehicle accident on Battersea Road that occurred July 27, several community groups are rallying together to support the victims, the Trautrimas family of Battersea, as they grieve the loss of Brenda Trautimas and her son Owen, six. Son Ayden, seven, was taken to hospital in critical condition after the family’s van was involved in a head-on collision with a pick-up truck. One of the groups helping out is Change for Families in Need (Change for FIN). Dorothy Evans, one of the group’s founders, is close to the family and spearheaded the effort. “I’ve known the family for four or five years. Our children were at nursery school together,” she recalls. Change for Families in Need is a fairly new grassroots non-profit in Kingston. “Our focus has been specifically for children who have been abused or exposed to violence, but our executive recognized that this [accident] is still a trauma and this is a family in need.” The group decided they would raise money to support the family, and built a number of partnerships with corporations within the community. “It was an easy fit, knowing that we already have this great community and network supporting our initiative. We have already been approached by the Guardians of the Children Kingston, who are looking at how they can
help and hoping to partner with us to do a fundraiser within a couple of months.” As of press time, Ayden was still in critical condition. Evans notes that Michael Trautrimas, Ayden’s father, has nothing but praise for the staff at CHEO, where Ayden is receiving treatment. “What happens all too often in a tragedy like this is there’s a big community outcry at the beginning, but then in a few months everyone will have forgotten about the family,” Evans continues. “But for us, we’re looking at the long term. This won’t be something that we’re stopping next week. We’ll be continuing to support this family as long as they need support.” As of Friday morning, the group had raised close to $3,000, with donations continuing to come in. “We are amazed at how much the community has rallied behind this. It has been a privilege to be a part of that, and that privilege has not been lost on us,” Evans says. Members of the Trautrimas family have said that they are grateful for the support that Change for FIN is raising, and for the fact that the organization acted so quickly. Evans notes that the family is also encouraged knowing how many people are sending their prayers and thoughts. Anyone wishing to make a donation or assist in fundraising is encouraged to visit http:/ changeforfin.com/news/ for more information.

80-year-old Holleford athlete retires after competing in K-town Triathlon since 1984 By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – Last weekend, athletes gathered in Kingston for the 32nd annual K-town Triathlon. Typically, this group would include Holleford resident, Dr. Robert McCaldon, but this year, at the age of 80, McCaldon decided to retire from the event. “I think that the ‘little engine that could’ should be modified a bit and include that you need to know your own limitations,” he explained. “It is a balance and my body is telling me, at 80, don’t do it. I want to keep being active and I can run, cycle and swim, but I don’t need to compete.” McCaldon participated in his first Kingston triathlon in 1984, the year the event was established in the city. At the time he was 48 years old and loved being active and competing, a trait he believes he inherited from his own father. “My father was always active, he didn’t play competitive sports, but he was a very active person and he pumped iron a lot,” he said. “I kept up the tradition more or less and I have been active my whole life.” The need for an active lifestyle became more important to McCaldon after he attended school to become a psychiatrist. He learned that physical activity was important to overall health and he brought those teachings with him when he moved to the Kingston area in 1964 as a psychiatric resident. After his residency, McCaldon ran a private practice in Kingston for a number of years before moving his office out to Harrowsmith where he also began focusing on Holistic Medicine. “I always enjoyed advising patients and helping them work on their own health,” he said. “My
wife and I would train for triathlons in our down time and I even had a running group I would train with and we’d run from Holleford to the Kingston YMCA and then go to work for the day. It seems crazy now, but we were young and foolish.” Over the past 30 years, McCaldon has participated in 22 marathons, multiple triathlons and one Iron Man trialthon. “My one and only Iron Man triathlon,” he said laughing. “I did it in Cape Cod and I came in at 11 hours and 27 minutes. I had attempted it the year before, but I had to drop out so I was really determined to do it the next year. But I didn’t want to do it again.” McCaldon always found triathlons the most enjoyable, especially when he was competing alongside his wife or friends. He also found triathlons the most rewarding because they challenged him both physically and mentally. “I like the camaraderie,” he said. “Triathlons are different than just running. They are easier on your body and you work so many different muscles with the three sports. It is also scenic and in some ways very intellectually challenging too, especially the cycling.” While McCaldon did not participate in this year’s K-Town Triathlon, he did compete in the Beat Beethoven run in the spring. “I didn’t beat him,” he joked. “I came in last and I was really slow. I also got an overuse injury and had a couple of falls following the race so to me, that was my body telling me no more.” McCaldon still planned on attending the triathlon in Kingston, but simply for moral support. “Cheering on my grandson,” he said. “We’ve competed a couple of times together and with my son too and that is great to see, but my competitive times are done.”

City approves $7.6 million brownfields cleanup on lower Queen Street By Bill Hutchins
News – The fate of two proposed high rises on lower Queen Street hasn’t been decided, but councillors have approved up to $7.6 million in tax rebates and other financial incentives to assist a private developer to clean-up the properties. Homestead Land Holdings estimates the cost to remediate the contaminated lands it owns at 18 Queen Street/282 Ontario Street, currently used as a municipal parking lot, is $4.4 million. Once fully developed, the site would include a 21 storey, 200-unit apartment building, 30,000 square foot office building and 306 private parking spaces. The city estimates the property will generate about $634,000 in annual property taxes. Through the brownfields agreement, most property taxes on the site will be waived for up to nine years to allow the owner to recoup the remediation costs. “Eighty per cent of the annual municipal tax increment, or ap-
proximately $453,000, will be the approximate amount available each year for rebate back to the owner until eligible costs have been recovered,” according to a staff report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. It’s estimated that 22,000 tonnes of contaminated soil beneath the surface parking lot will have to be removed and disposed of, along with contaminated groundwater, based on the site’s industrial past. Council has backed a similar brownfields agreement at 51-57 Queen Street where Homestead plans to construct a 21 storey, 180unit apartment with 248 parking spaces. The proposed redevelopment includes a stand-alone, multilevel municipal parking garage with 278 public parking spaces. The estimated cost to rehabilitate the contaminated site is $3.2 million, including the removal and disposal of 16,000 tonnes of contaminated soil. The fully developed site will generate about $437,000 in annual property taxes. Through the brown-
fields agreement, the city will also rebate 80 per cent of property taxes each year, about $350,000, back to Homestead to pay off the company’s remediation costs. The city allows brownfield projects to get tax rebates for up to 10 years. The downtown properties have a history of coal tar contamination from a 19th century coal-gasification plant. Attempts to redevelop the properties must still clear planning and political hurdles. The two 21-storey buildings are currently being reviewed by the city’s planning department to determine whether they should be approved by council, or altered. A report could be presented to the planning committee as early as this fall. Some residents have openly opposed the height of the twin towers by saying they are out of context with surrounding heritage and could erode the downtown’s historic charm. The Homestead buildings “far
exceed” the height that’s currently allowed in the area, said planning director Paige Agnew. “There’s definitely some challenges with that site. It’s a really important block within the city in terms of connecting the downtown with the K-Rock Centre.” The application was the focus of an independent peer review, but the details have not yet been made public. Kingston’s mayor and the downtown business association have gone on record supporting the need for residential intensification downtown. The city ultimately stands to lose 270 surface parking spaces if the Homestead buildings proceed. However, councillors agreed to partner with Homestead to build an above-ground garage to replace the lost surface parking spaces. Under the agreement, Homestead will build the structure and the city will purchase it for up to $18 million. The parking agreement, however, is contingent on the development application being approved.

‘Phoebe’ to get short-term home in Portsmouth Olympic Harbour News – Kingston’s heritage boat, the Phoebe, is one step closer to finding a permanent home. Councillors approved a short-term plan, and three long-term options, to display the 102-year-
old steam powered boat. The 48-foot long city-owned Phoebe will soon be moved from its long-time home behind the Pump House Steam Museum on Ontario Street to accommodate the historic building’s planned expansion.

The short term plan involves relocating the boat to Portsmouth Olympic Harbour (POH). “A move could occur as early as September 2016, prior to the start of construction at the Pump House Steam Museum,” according to a report by cultural services director Colin Wiginton. City officials say only minor alterations to the Portsmouth building will be needed for the boat’s display. They say it won’t impact the current visioning exercise that’s currently underway for Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and Kingston Penitentiary. The Phoebe’s display will also coincide with the relocation to POH of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, further emphasizing the area’s marine history. “Once relocated, the Phoebe could remain in place until redevelopment plans are approved and ready for implementation or another long-term option becomes viable,” said Wiginton. The long-term vision could see the Phoebe floating up the Rideau Canal. It’s among three options currently being reviewed by staff; -loaning the boat to Parks Canada for display as part of its redevelopment of the locks at Jones Falls to create a historically-themed destination, -leaving the boat at POH as a permanent attraction, based on the outcome of a public visioning
exercise for the marina and mothballed prison, -relocating the boat back to a newly-constructed shelter in a park outside the expanded Pump House Steam Museum. City staff will report back to council in the future on which option should proceed, and the cost involved. All three options have received the support of Friends of the Phoebe, a local group that restored the steam launch and is eager to continue having it showcased to the public. The possibility of moving the boat to Jones Falls excites group spokesperson, Henk Wevers, who says the Phoebe has a strong connection to the historic Rideau waterway. “That would be an appropriate place to have her in the public eye,” Wevers told council. Wevers says he also supports the two other display options in Kingston. The group donated 35,000 volunteer hours and raised tens of thousands of dollars to restore the boat, which has been in display at the Pump House Steam Museum since 1979. It no longer gets put in the water. Supporters of the Phoebe say it should have the same status as the ‘Spirit of Sir John A’ locomotive as both were built in Kingston in 1914.

Town Homes apartment project gets affordable housing funding boost By Bill Hutchins
News – City councillors will sink more money into a proposed affordable housing project at a former nun’s residence in central Kingston. They’ve agreed to contribute an extra $1.2 million to increase the number of affordable units, while lowering some of the rents, in the redevelopment of 7 Wright Crescent. Most of the extra funding, $786,000, was made available through an extension of the provincial affordable housing envelope, while the rest will come from a municipal capital fund that supports affordable housing construction. The extra money will be distributed to nonprofit Town Homes Kingston, which has partnered with CJM Property Management Ltd. (Caraco) to build two nine-storey apartments on the site. Town Homes will manage a 95-unit building with mixed income housing, while CJM will manage a 120-unit building that will charge full market rents. “CJM would build both buildings and Town Homes would be the first one built on the site,” explained Town Homes project manager Joe Lafaive. He says Town Homes will use the extra money to increase the total number of approved affordable housing units from 35 to 38. That includes 28 onebedroom units offering rents that are 80 per cent
of market value, or about $732 a month, plus 10 bachelor units that will now be offered at rents that are 60 per cent of current market value, or about $407 a month. “This will benefit minimum wage workers or those getting Old Age Security. The rents would be held as affordable housing in perpetuity,” said Lafaive. A further 10 units will be designated as rentgeared-to-income and the remaining 47 units in the Town Homes building will be market priced bachelor, one and two bedroom apartments. “A depth of affordability will be achieved that is not typically available outside of the limited supply of social housing or discretionary rent supplement programs available within the City,” said Sheldon Laidman, the city’s director of housing and social services, who recommended councillors approve the enhanced affordable housing strategy. It’s been two years since the last council agreed to sell the former Notre Dame Congregation building to a private developer and public housing partnership for $750,000. But the deal is still not finalized. Laidman says the sale is expected to be completed this summer. The two building development, however, still requires zoning changes and planning approvals. He says the application should be submitted this fall.
City officials say the affordable housing project represents good value for taxpayers, noting they will pay about $7,100 to subsidize the construction of each unit at 7 Wright Crescent compared with the typical rate of $50,000 in other new housing construction projects. Town Homes says about 1,000 households are currently on a waiting list to stay
in affordable housing and they face a six year wait. The Town Homes/CJM partnership involves the demolition of the existing 1960sera low-rise nun’s residence and the construction of both apartments along the northern boundary of the property. The redevelopment has an estimated cost of $33 million.

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
Will we have a Cordelia Campbell for Does anyone care about the Tragically Hip Day? Olympics anymore? “You can call me Cordelia.� That’s what Anne Shirley says to Marilla in Chapter 3 of one of my favourite books of all time. Of course, it isn’t her real name, but as Anne points out, “I would love to be called Cordelia. It’s such a perfectly elegant name.� Then Marilla says something about Anne being a good, plain, sensible name, and I suppose I kind of have to agree with this. Ann (without the “e� – the horror) is my mother’s name, and my middle name. But Cordelia has long been my favourite name for a girl, probably partly because of Anne of Green Gables, but also because she’s the title character in my favourite Hip song, and an important character in my favourite Shakespeare play, King Lear. Perhaps my affinity for both these things originated with my childhood association with the name, but I think I would have come to appreciate them either way.
I wanted to call Summer Cordelia, but Steve vetoed the name. I wanted to name the baby girl who will be joining our family in a few weeks that too, and once again the name was vetoed. But, Baby Girl Campbell #2 is due on Aug. 17, 2016 – three days before what is now widely known as Tragically Hip Day in Kingston. Most diehard Hip fans agree that Cordelia is one of the band’s best songs - or at least they should, it’s SUCH a good song – and Steve is probably an even bigger Hip fan than I am. I think the fact that I’m from Kingston and grew up around some of the band members is one of the things that originally made him like me. I grew up in Kingston in the ‘90s, so the significance of the band to my life goes without saying. In fact, the first person I ever interviewed and wrote a ‘story’ about (alongside by best friend, Aurora) was guitarist Rob Baker. I was 13, and the article was for the famous grads section of my elementary school’s 50th anniversary yearbook. For your enjoyment, I’ve transcribed the story and added it as a sidebar to the online version of this article, found at kingstonregion.com. I remember lying in bed one night
when I was 10 years old, fighting off sleep because The Hip were playing Richardson Stadium that night and I wanted to listen to the concert, which I could hear quite clearly from several blocks away. Songs like Courage – and Cordelia - were all the rage at that time. This is one of my favourite childhood memories. So if Baby Girl wants to be born on Aug. 20, how can we not name her Cordelia? I’ve been working on convincing Steve of this and finally, with the proclamation of Tragically Hip Day, I think I’ve succeeded. BUT – only if she’s born on Aug. 20. Any other day and she gets the other, (almost) equally awesome name we finally agreed upon. While he agrees the significance of this day/ name combination is too great to ignore, I know Steve is hoping she won’t be born within the 24-hour period. He claims it’s mean to name a little girl Cordelia because it’s too “weird�. Clearly, he knows nothing. I think if it’s meant to happen, it will. And how can this not be meant to happen? Even if she’s not born on Aug. 20, I suppose I can still call her Cordelia unofficially – as Anne suggests Marilla does. A not-so-secret nickname, if you will.
The 2016 summer Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil are just around the corner. Normally, there would be a significant amount of excitement building as the games approach, but this time around it seems that many people couldn’t care less. This lack luster attitude towards the games has us wondering, do people still care about the Olympics? In Canada, some of this indifference is most likely due to the fact that we, as a country, aren’t the greatest at summer sports. Canadians generally perform much better in the winter games and in 2012’s London Olympics we only received 18 medals overall. But even with lower potential for medals, there was still a lot of excitement surrounding past summer games. It is true that over the course of history the Olympic games have seen a lot of controversy; everything from doping, human rights issues, and inadequate or unfinished facilities. But everything always seems to work out in the end. This year, however, all of these issues seem to be casting a dark cloud over the Olympics. Many athletes are worried about the Zika virus and therefore not competing, some are worried about the water quality in Rio and of course there are the ongoing issues surrounding doping and whether or not certain countries should be allowed to compete. Normally, all of this would magically work itself out just before the opening ceremonies and everyone would be happy, but we’re not so sure that will be the case this year. On top of all the health issues that may or may not impact the athletes, there is inevitably concern about the infrastructure in Rio and this seems to be the most common hurdle the Olympics face each time around. Many countries are even reconsidering hosting the games because of the costs associated with infrastructure and the Olympics are suffering as a result. To address these issues, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has rallied to work on ways to cut costs for bidding countries, ways to bring more global recognition to the event and ways to address human rights concerns, but all of this will be slow to implement. The question is, will it be enough or could this ancient tradition be in jeopardy? Only time will tell – and of course television ratings.

Lessons learned from the Fort McMurray fire Jeff Scott THE COUNTRYSIDE VIEW Growing up in the woods of North Western Ontario, I was keenly aware of potential forest fires. On hot August days the wind would bring the smell of distant, or not so distant, forest fires. I would regularly scan the horizons looking for the tell-tale signs of smoke, thinking of escape routes. The boreal forest is quite different from my maplefilled property in Glenburnie. There are towering spruce, shapely pine, and scented balsam interspersed with white birch and tinkling-leaved poplars. A forest that is quite pleasant to live beside, but a forest that is also a ticking time bomb. When the weather turns hot and dry a single spark can create a fire storm such as the one that caused so much damage in Fort McMurray. The “Beast”, as this fire was named, burned right into the city, destroying 2,400 homes and costing $3.58 billion in damage. Cities and towns in the boreal forest develop around resources such as mining, forestry or oil sands. The new jobs attract people from rainy coastal towns, prairie cities, farms or major urban areas - even foreign countries where there is little knowledge about the boreal forest and even less of the dangers. It did not surprise me when I heard people saying that the forest should be complely cut down around these cities to avoid another Fort McMurray fire. Fortunately, it is unnecessary to hack down all the trees
that make a city in the forest beautiful just to make it safe from forest fires. The boreal forest behaves differently from our deciduous forest. The trees produce large quantities of branches and dead twigs, which do not quickly decompose. They accumulate, and then one day a bolt of lightning sets the whole thing on fire. This is necessary for the regeneration of the forest since cones open in the heat and seeds fall in fertile ash to start a new forest. These forest fires can occur about every decade, yet they do not burn down all the trees. They often clear out dead trees and saplings, leaving a more open forest of tall spruce trees with no lower branches. Unfortunately, foresters have stopped all forest fires around forest cities. Consequently the amount of burnable material in the forest builds up so that when a forest fire does occur it becomes a beast that burns everything. To avoid this, foresters need to go into the forest and do what a small fire would do; that is to remove dead trees, clear out underbrush and prune up trees. This is what they do around the towns of Jasper and Banff, which are located in the forest in the Rockies.≠House construction in the boreal forest needs to be done differently to avoid having the towns burn down. Although building with wood framing would be the same as in the rest of the country, the exterior material needs to be different. Vinyl siding and asphalt shingle are oil-based and are highly flamable. Once they catch fire, they burn with incredible intensity, and and if a fire truck cannot get near it spreads to the neighbouring buildings. Non-combustible materials such as aluminum siding and brick for the exterior walls and metal or tile for the roofs is what is required. They don’t burn and they deflect flying embers that would set the other materials alight. Practices in backyards need to be changed as well.
Stacks of firewood and garden sheds are great spots for burning embers to rest, and the resulting spot fires are impossible for fire crews to deal with. Keeping yards clear of combustible material is essential to keeping fires from spreading, and this should be made a city policy. The layout of northern cities needs to be different, too. Instead of having the hospitals, arenas and ball
parks in the middle of the city, they need to be located on the outside of town. These have extensive lawns and parking lots, which create a natural fire break. Golf courses, walkways and roads also have the same effect. Cities in the boreal forest are beautiful in their natural forest settings, and they can be made safe from forest fires through thoughtful planning, construction, and living practices.

“I suspect [the Shakers] were not being entirely honest with themselves,” MacLachlan Curator, Tom Riddolls says with a laugh, “I mean, they state quite clearly that decoration and ornamentation was a sin, it had no part in their furniture production – but look here,” He is pointing at the arm rest of an early Shaker ladder back

It’s hard to deny they saw this piece as decorative!” This suspicious use of curly maple and other interesting pieces are on display at the MacLachlan Woodworking Museum for the remainder of the summer.

The ‘Kids Safety Village’ was hosted by Kingston Police in Springer Market Square on July 27. The mobile safety village, created by Cobourg Police, consists of child-sized electric cars and portable street layouts to teach children about roadway safety. Several officers of the Kingston Police force were on hand to chat with children about safety while giving the kids a chance to see cruisers, motorcycles and police horses. In addition to the safety village, the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston was onsite with an inflatable obstacle course. Photo/Rob Mooy

Design work for final leg of Centennial Drive extension gets underway By Bill Hutchins
News – The last link of the Centennial Drive extension will soon be falling into place. The city has hired an engineering firm, Forefront Engineering, to begin laying the groundwork to complete the northern section of the busy roadway. Centennial Drive currently ends at Resource Road, just north of Cataraqui Woods Drive. The aim is to extend the two-lane road to the existing terminus of Centennial Drive east of Gardiners Road. The $3.8 million extension – with sidewalks and bicycle lanes - will cut through the Cataraqui Estates business park. Phase 1 of the extension was opened a few years ago. Current work on Phase 2 will provide road access to 35 acres of prime industrial lands. The road extension is considered a key component of Kingston’s 2015 transportation master plan as it will provide motorists with another completed north-south road link to Highway 401. “The completion of this road in the network will serve traffic in the residential and employment areas east of the Gardiners Road corridor and will help distribute traffic to/
from the Highway 401/Gardiners Road. Along with the proposed Cataraqui Woods Drive extension, this connection will also help reduce congestion on Princess Street,” according to the transportation plan. Councillors awarded the contract in mid-July even though Forefront’s contract was slightly higher than other bids. “Forefront did not provide the lowest price for the work; however they offered the most comprehensive submission,” according to a report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. Forefront’s bid of $76,000 is the second lowest of five bids received through a request for proposals. The bid prices ranged from $75,000 to $109,000. However, city staff who reviewed the competing bids say Forefront reflected a “clear understanding of the objectives of the project.” A key aspect of the work is to complete the Cataraqui Estates final plan of subdivision approval in order to permit the road extension to be built. The industrial lands approval is important because the road will be financed through development charges, explained Hurdle. “The consultant services include engineering road design, roundabout intersection design, trail design, production of working

drawings and specifications, tender documents preparation, and supporting technical studies,” she added. The city still has to award a future contract to complete the actual roadway construction, which is already approved for funding under the city’s four-year roads capital budget. Once complete, commuters will be able to use Centennial Drive from Bath Road to

Farm Girl and Easter Seals team up to help send kids to camp By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com
Events – Summer camp is something that many kids look forward to each year, but for children and youth with physical disabilities, going away to camp may seem impossible. That is where Easter Seals comes in.
“We send our kids to camp and think nothing of it, but for these kids, it is harder,” said Tamara Bolger, also known as Farm Girl. “Easter Seals has these camps that are so special, but they need help to keep them going.” Bolger has helped Easter Seals in the past by hosting charitable days at her food truck, but this year she wanted to help even more.

KEDCO fails to reach its own job creation targets in 2015 By Bill Hutchins
News – Kingston’s soon-to-be revamped economic development corporation (KEDCO) has unveiled its long-awaited report for 2015. The numbers show the agency fell short of achieving its own job creation and investment targets. KEDCO set a goal of attracting 1,000 new jobs and $100 million in new economic investment annually. Instead, the agency reported 80 new jobs and $18.6 million in new investment last year. Among the few highlights for business attraction; -Iron Mountain, a document storage company, has chosen Kingston as one of four sites in North America for a $5 million facility and 15 new jobs, -Frulact Group, a fruit products manufacturer, has picked Kingston for its first expansion in North America to open a processing plant on 15 acres with 50 employees next spring, -Fast Line, a manufacturer of line painting and field lining products, invested $2 million locally. KEDCO chair Shai Dubey says there is encouraging news in the annual report. He says Kingston’s economy expected to grow by 1.8 percent this year, the strongest growth since 2010, which bodes well for the local job market. This comes as the city and KEDCO prepare to rebrand and reform the agency to focus solely on economic development with increased oversight and accountability. Its tourism branch will be run as a separate agency.
“Economic development has changed over the last 20 years, even the last 10 years. And we have to change to keep up with it,” said Dubey. KEDCO’s board met July 18 for what could be its final annual general meeting before muchtouted organizational reforms are launched. Councillors recently approved a review committee’s recommendations to split the agency in two, and develop new fee-for-service agreements with business development and tourism. Both groups received about $2.7 million tax dollars this year, roughly half spent on business development and the other half on tourism promotion and marketing. Mayor Bryan Paterson says the committee’s reforms were largely adopted, although additional conditions were approved by councillors to give them more control over the activities and operations of both agencies. “The two new agencies will be brought a little closer to city hall than had been recommended in the report,” Paterson explained. That includes measures to put councillors on the new boards along with the CAO and deputy CAO. “I think we need to have more control, more input and more alignment with where we are going as a city,” the mayor added. Paterson says work to establish a transition committee is already underway, and it’s expected to begin work later this year. The revamped KEDCO, which may also include a new name and more centralized office location, will have a new mandate to focus on core areas such as investment attraction and investment aftercare, business retention and ex-
pansion and work with local businesses, support for small business and entrepreneurs, and support for workforce development, high-quality jobs, and skills-building. Mayor Paterson says it’s time to move forward with the reforms. “No more looking back about what might have gone wrong. It’s time to find the right path to move forward.”
However, long-time critics of KEDCO’s past spending and job creation record continue to demand more fiscal accountability to show what worked, and what didn’t, during the past five years. The review committee did not focus on the agency’s previous financial records when producing its final recommendations.

Young director creates great stage entertainment Jazz, the music of this show, is meant to be savored in intimate settings, not sterile concert halls or theatres. As the audience members enter the theatre, they find a classy yet street-wise seating of tables in a cabaret. A sassy tone is set long before curtain. Chicago is the longest-running American musical ever staged on Broadway. The current revival opened in 1996 and has currently been performed about 8000 times in the heart of New York’s Theatre District. Chicago’s the story of Roxie, a manipulative show girl who kills her lover before her husband, Amos, arrives home. Amos offers to take the blame for the murder. But Roxie sees bright lights and an opportunity for press coverage as a celebrity criminal, so she confesses. To win the jury members’ sympathy, she fakes a pregnancy. The show satirizes the criminal justice system and the upside-down values of a world that holds celebrities, and often criminals, on a pedestal, regardless of their moral conduct.
Under Hailey Hill’s direction, the entire show is a highlight, so it’s difficult to favor any one scene. Taylor Katzel’s performance as Amos Hart is as heart-tugging as I’ve seen on stage since Celia Keenan-Bolger as Laura Wingfield in the Glass Menagerie on Broadway. Cristina Gonçalves as Hunyak is a dancer extraordinaire and you’ll see some exceptional routines in Chicago.

in my life,” she said. “As much as I want a good show, the experience is so important to me. For Spelling Bee, in the first hour of every rehearsal, I had the cast do improv in their character’s role.” The Dean of Western’s affiliate King’s College saw the show and told Hill it was the best thing he’d ever seen on the school’s stage. That’s no surprise if you’re a fan of Hailey Hill. With Chicago, did Hill hope to emulate the Broadway version? Quite the opposite: Hill realized what she didn’t want the show to feel like: sitting in a theatre watching a performance. She wanted the audience to feel present as part of the show, which is exactly what she pulls off in Kingston. Entering her first year at UWO, Hill joined a theatre group. In her first month, she auditioned for the university’s production of Little Shop of Horrors and got a role. She attended the theatre group’s improv meetings every Thursday night. In her second year, she was cast in a role in Into the Woods. Last year, she wanted to take on directing. She applied for a director’s role with the intention of doing the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. She’s on a solid upward trajectory. While completing the last year of her degree, she’s been hired to work as the Theatre Western Coordinator. During her years at Western, she’s also been on student council and arts council, so she’s got experience and skills at the organizational level. As Western Theatre Coordinator, while completing her degree, she’ll be in charge of everything related to theatre. That means mingling with the finance people, doing the budgeting and hiring the executive team. It also means she gets paid for her work. She also gets to select the play and musical the university produces this year. Like many professional performers, theatre is healing for Hailey Hill. “People ask if all this theatre work is stressful,” she says. “Theatre is the only thing that calms me down.” While working on Chicago this summer, she’s received an offer to direct children’s shows when she returns to London. “I was contacted by the artistic director of Original Kids a couple of weeks ago. They have their own theatre in London.” Continued on page 20
Keeping your pet cool Here’s a simple and easy-to-remember guideline for when it’s safe to leave your dog, or any pet, in a car in the summer: NEVER. But every summer, without fail, hundreds of dogs and other pets are left locked in cars. Too many of these poor creatures suffer permanent damage, and, sadly, many of them die. You may say to yourself that you’ll only be a few minutes running into a store. That doesn’t matter. It only takes a few minutes for a dog to be seriously impaired or to die. In just those few minutes, the temperature inside the car, even with windows left open, can reach far above 40 degrees Celsius. All dogs are seriously at risk in that kind of heat. I’ve also heard people say that it’s not so important for puppies as they have more “resistance” (to what, I’m not sure) or they can tolerate the heat. In fact, puppies are at greater risk than adult dogs. I cannot believe that anyone would intentionally want to hurt an animal, although I know that such people exist. Many people simply don’t want to be away from their beloved pooch. Dr. Sarah Saxton, of Lakeshore Animal Hospital, said she is averse to public shaming and the use of social media to embarrass and harass people, and she prefers a more proactive approach.
“I do believe that continued education is key to try to stop pets from needless suffering,” she said. “There are so many other options to keeping pets in cars, including leaving the pets at home or having someone stay in the car with them with the air conditioner on. I was out shopping yesterday, and took my pup Jenna out of the car and secured her outside the store in the shade.” Dr. Hillary Esdon, also of the Lakeshore Animal Hospital, said that every summer, we hear of tragedies involving companion animals succumbing to environmental stresses like heat stroke. “Often, these events elicit public outrage directed towards the pet owner; however, I do think that in certain cases, a lack of awareness may be at play. As animal lovers, we enjoy spending time with our pets and like the idea of having them along with us for errands and activities.” She explained that, in many circumstances, it’s better to leave your pet alone at home. “The kindest thing we can do for our furry friends during the summer months is to leave them at home in a temperature-controlled area, rather than risk exposing them to conditions that pose a much greater threat than we may realize.” She said that dogs rely on different mechanisms to regulate their body temperature than people do. According to material available from the Kingston Humane Society, dogs rely on panting, ventilation (air blowing over the skin cools the dog), and plenty of water to help them keep their body temperature at a safe level. Dogs can also lie on cool surfaces to dissipate heat. “Those mechanisms can be insufficient to deal something as benign as physical exertion on a
hot day, let alone the alarmingly high temperatures that occur within minutes inside a parked vehicle,” said Dr. Esdon. “Leaving pets at home while running errands, sticking to shady areas when enjoying time outdoors and planning walks for the coolest times of day are all excellent strategies to help pets stay cool and safe.”
Certain dogs are at greater risk (which does not mean that other dogs should be expected to handle heat). These include northern breeds (like huskies and malamutes), puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with short Continued on page 21

Young director creates great stage entertainment Continued from page 18
Hill is on people’s minds and she’s becoming something of an “it” and a0 go-to girl in theatre. Since she took on her first director’s role, Hill developed a reputation as being a director who is strict, honest, well organized, and probably most
important, kind of goofy. She’s playful. It’s not surprising that, given her age, one of the biggest challenges she’s found in directing is around boundaries between being someone’s friend and being someone they respect as leader. She is younger than some of the cast and crew in Chicago. “Finding a way to create that divide is a chal739E ARLINGTON PARK PLACE, KINGSTON, ON Phone: (613)-634-9706 Toll Free: 1-877-CANWEALTH (1-877-226-9325)

“It’s my favorite part,” she said. “I’m so proud of it. Twenty percent of the lighting cues are in that scene alone. It’s also the biggest blocking challenge.” Hailey Hill has a big year ahead of her at the University of Western Ontario. After she graduates next year, she’s hoping for media work in Ottawa, while she develops her theatre skills. With her background on student councils and arts councils, she said she’s looking forward to work within the political scene in Ottawa. I had seen Hailey Hill acting in diverse roles over the past several years. Chicago is the first show I’ve seen her direct. I thought her acting skills were going to take her far. Looks like her directing skills will take her even further. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

ADVISING ON:
lenge, but it’s important,” she said. “Lauren Knight has been a best friend since childhood and I’m now directing her in this show. I thought that if I gave her direction, I didn’t want her to take it personally. But during rehearsals, she’s mixed with the cast and I’m with crew. We stick to our roles, then after, driving back home in the car, it’s like we’re the childhood friends again.” Chicago has some intense changes of pace and mood. The courtroom sequence is a tough one. “It’s one of my proudest moments in the entire show,” said Hill. “I sat at Starbucks for two hours planning it in my head. I purposely did not watch any stage version, aside from the Broadway trip, before doing this.“ She wanted to make the scene as momentous as any of the song or dance scenes.

muzzles (for example, boxers, pugs and bulldogs), and dogs on medication or who are overweight or suffer from health conditions. It’s clear from conversations with veterinarians and other animal care professionals that sometimes the best thing you can do for your companion animal is go without their companionship. Suppose you have taken proper care of your dog and never leave them in a car in the heat, but you still enjoy being outdoors and think that the weather isn’t too harsh. It is important to be aware of signs of heat distress in your dog. If you’ve been outdoors on a warm day and your dog is panting or drooling, has an increased heart rate, becomes listless or disoriented, has bright red gums, or develops vomiting or diarrhea, you may be witnessing heat stroke. In more severe situations, the dog may collapse or suffer a seizure. If your dogs body temperature hits 40 C, you need to get medical help. Dogs with temperatures above 41°C/105.8°F are at risk for permanent brain damage; Once the temperature goes above 43°C/109.4°F, organ damage can occur. The first obvious thing you need to do is get your dog out of the heat and offer it water. You can use a hose or wet towels to cool down your dog. The towels should be at room temperature and not cold or freezing. The Kingston Humane Society recommends that you do not use ice to do this. With intervention, once your dog’s body temperature lowers to 39.4 C, you should stop the cooling process as there is also a risk of shock if the body temperature drops too low. However, even when the dog’s body temperature does drop to a normal level, it is still important to seek medical assessement, even if the dog appears to have returned to normal, because some health issues from heat stroke do not show up right away.
The list of potential damages from heat stroke in dogs is frightening. A conference presentation on heat stroke (Atlantic Coast Veterinary Conference 2015) by Megan Brashear was provided by Dr. Saxton. Brashear’s study noted that heat stroke can also mean that: decreased blood glucose levels lead to seizure activity; the dog may go into shock; there may be gastrointestinal ulceration and sepsis; dogs may suffer from Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome; there can be liver, kidney or cardiac damage; the dog may also be in pain because of internal organ issues. Any of these may not be obvious at the time. Blood work and other diagnostic tools can be useful in determining the condition of the dog following heat stroke. If your dog has suffered from heat stroke in the past, it will now be more susceptible to repeat episodes. Be aware that heat stroke is not the only problem dogs face in warmer months. Hot asphalt and concrete can burn dogs’ sensitive paw pads. Please enjoy every moment with your beloved pet, but be aware that common environmental factors such as heat may affect your dog more than they affect you. Be cautious in warmer months. Take the advice that Dr. Saxton and Dr.
Esdon offer: limit outdoor activity during hot weather; enjoy outdoor time together during cooler times of day; make sure your dog has lots of water available at all times, so if you are planning a hike, remember to take along or have access to an adequate water supply; and never leave your dog in the sun or inside a car.

only greenhouse, snapping strong metal ribs into pieces. The engineers who designed our greenhouse did not anticipate the rapid onset of climate change, did not anticipate the many ways farming is being forced to change. My family drove 12 hours to come and help us rebuild. We replaced the greenhouse frame with something twice as strong. We were fortunate to have family support, to be able to afford to replace that infrastructure. Around the world, most people are not so lucky. It’s the inequality of climate change; we in the wealthiest parts of the world, who release the most greenhouse gases, are also best able to adapt. The small farmers and peasants who produce most of the world’s food, on the other hand, have the fewest material resources to cope with global warming. And the problem of global warming is not limited to rural areas. Sea level at New York City has already increased by a full foot versus a century ago. Sea level there is expected to increase another foot in the next fifteen years, along with higher storm surges and more intense hurricanes. Too often, climate change is framed as something gradual that our grandchildren will have to worry about. This attitude is not just a simple misconception, but also the result of ongoing PR campaigns. It was recently revealed that the oil and gas industry has known about climate change for nearly 50 years. But—much like the tobacco industry did in the 1970s—they’ve funded groups to deny or cast doubt Continued on page 25

on the reality of climate change. These well-funded groups have laid siege to climate scientists, inducing many climate scientists to release only conservative models, predicting smaller amounts of climate change to avoid charges of “alarmism.” But we should be alarmed; we are well on course for the future that climate reports a decade ago called “the worst case scenario.” The problem—as we have seen this year—is not just the increase in degrees, but the increase in extremes. A year that can crush our greenhouse with record snowfall, and then give us record drought six months later. It’s easy to see why some people prefer the term “climate chaos” over the more mundane “climate change”. In any case, it’s just the beginning. But it’s the time to act. Changes now can still make a difference. It’s certainly good to support sustainable farms and local infrastructure for climate change adaptation. But we can’t adapt to climate change at its worst. We need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions dramatically. The question is: How fast can we do it? That’s the only climate record we should be trying to break.

Help kids get ready for fall sports season Summer is a season of relaxation, especially for school-aged children who are not yet old enough to work. Such youngsters no doubt enjoy the chance to spend summer days lounging poolside or at the beach, all without a care in the world or any homework to complete. Though summer is synonymous with R&R, parents of young athletes who hope to compete in scholastic athletics when the school year begins in autumn may need to take steps to ensure their kids aren’t at risk of injury once the curtain comes up on fall sports season. • Examine and replace equipment if necessary. The right equipment can protect kids from injury and help them realize their full athletic potential. But damaged or outdated equipment can increase kids’ risk of injury. Examine kids’ equipment long before fall sports season begins so you have time to bargain hunt should anything need to be replaced. • Schedule a physical for your child. Many school districts mandate that athletes receive and pass physicals before they can compete. Speak with the athletic director at your child’s school to learn the guidelines
that govern athletic physicals. The physical will need to be conducted by a predetermined date, but you may also need the physical to be conducted after a certain date for it to be considered valid. Speak with your child’s physician if any problems are found during the physical. • Let kids heal. Kids’ schedules are busier than ever before, and many youngsters play several sports during the school year. Summer vacation may be the only extended period all year that youngsters’ bodies get to heal. While it’s important that kids stay physically active throughout the summer, make sure they don’t overdo it, as you should emphasize the importance of rest. • Gradually get back in the swing of things. While rest gives kids’ bodies a chance to heal and develop, it’s important that young athletes stay in shape over the summer. As the fall sports season draws near, help kids gradually get back in the swing of things. Tryouts tend to be physically demanding, so kids who have not lifted a finger all summer may be at risk of injury or missing the cut. Let kids ease back into regular exercise to make sure they are not starting from scratch come their first

tryout. • Speak with coaches. Coaches can be great assets to parents who want to make sure their youngsters enjoy the summer without sacrificing their chances of making the team in the fall. Speak with kids’ coaches to determine if there is any area your son or daughter can work on over the summer to improve his or her chances of making the team. Make sure kids are the

Summer weekends were kept busy with visitors On most hot summer weekends, we could expect any number of cousins, aunts and uncles to find their way out to the farm in Northcote. Mother said it was to escape the heat of the city. We never knew who was coming, but Mother was always prepared. Extra loaves of bread, sticky buns and pies filled the bake table and the narrow shelf underneath it. No one would go away hungry! If they came on Saturday and stayed over until Sunday, that meant my three brothers would have to bed down in the tent in the yard, giving up the back bedroom upstairs. Of course, my cousin Richard, a couple years younger than I was, was thrilled to be able to sleep outside with the older boys in a tent. His mother, my aunt Lily, protective of her only child, could be heard slipping out the kitchen door a couple times through the night to make sure nothing had happened to her son, which of course, would waken everyone up. Especially Audrey and me who had been moved to the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. Of course, as soon as the door was open, our old Collie dog Sport would start to bark, and the whole house would be wide awake. But no one seemed to mind, because having a house full of company on a weekend broke the monotony on the farm. The only problem
was that Aunt Vanetta, a devout Catholic, insisted on being driven into Renfrew on Sunday morning for Mass, and I wasn’t sure what good it did, because Uncle Johnny, could be heard swearing a blue streak all the way out to his car, and it was a known fact he refused to darken the door of the church, but sat out Mass in his car, blowing blue smoke out the window from his ever-present cigar. And the weekend was like one long party! There was always lots of music and singing, and Uncle Johnny was always telling jokes that Mother laughed at but said weren’t fit for the ears of young children. Aunt Vanetta was like a little bird, small and dainty, with a cloud of white hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen. Her daughter Aunt Lily was tall and stately, and even though she was coming out to a farm, she arrived wearing white gloves and a beautiful hat, and we never saw the same one twice. I used to dream that she was a relative to the Queen, because of the hats she wore. And I was sure she was pretty rich too... wasn’t she the telephone operator at the Chateau Laurier hotel? What elegance, and what an important person she was, I would think. My cousin Richard was game for anything. He loved playing in the hay mow, which just happened to be one of my favourite places on the farm too. We would climb the little ladder in the end of the cow byre and run madly through the hay and then push a pile of it down through the opening in the floor, and jump down the hole, and then do the whole exercise over again. We would be covered with bits and pieces of hay and chaff, and when we had enough, Richard would go find his mother to get a hanky to blow the hay dust out of his nose. I never used a hanky, except at school
or church. The cuff of whatever I was wearing suited just fine. Mealtime was a challenge for Mother. Everyone couldn’t sit at the old pine table, so two planks were brought in and put on the backs of chairs, covered with a heavy quilt and then a couple flour bag sheets, and the overflow ate there. By the time Mother had the meal ready, the kitchen would be like a blasting furnace, but Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lily said it was cooler than in Ottawa, and dug right in mashing potatoes, making gravy, or cutting pies. We younger ones had to set the tables, fill the glasses with water, and make sure everyone had a chair to sit on. The weekend passed far too quickly to suit me. By late Sunday, the company was ready to go home. And I often wondered if they
were as rich as I thought they were. Because before the car left the yard, boxes would be tied to the running board, and they would be filled with meat from the smoke house, a couple cleaned chickens, and bags of vegetables from the garden. Aunt Vanetta always fell into Mother’s arms before she climbed into the car, thanking her and saying something, which at the time meant nothing to me. She’d say “Thank you Mabel...you’ve saved our lives. We’ll sure eat well for a long time to come.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Tipping in restaurants, service charges are an eternal issue By Jeff Maguire
News that a Vancouver-based restaurant chain has decided to introduce a so-called “hospitality charge” at its newest location in downtown Calgary, while at the same time eliminating customer tips, got a lot of publicity recently. Some of the news stories made it seem like this is something brand new. In fact this issue migrates and has done so for years. Every now and then it raises its head somewhere, creating a flap among diners and bar patrons and finding its way into the media. It’s the eternal issue in the hospitality industry where servers in particular often work for low wages but hope to augment their rather meagre income with tips. People who work in the industry get to know which restaurants and bars attract the biggest tippers and, not
surprisingly, the competition for jobs in those premises is keen. My own daughter worked as a server and later as a bartender during her college days and for varying periods afterward to supplement the income from her vocation. Heather is a hard worker and she sometimes worked two or three part-time jobs in the hospitality trade. Besides Ottawa, the fourth largest metropolitan area in Canada, she has also lived and worked in our three largest cities Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Based on her experience I can quote chapter and verse about the issue of tipping, hospitality and service charges – whatever you want to call it. For wait staff in particular, tips are considered vital if they are going to continue to do what is, most often, thankless work. Before I go any farther however, just in

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, August 4, 2016
the protocol in most pubs is to go to the bar, order your drinks and/or food and pay for it right up front. Beer, wine and liquor is dispensed immediately. Tables are generally numbered and staff members deliver food orders to the appropriate table. We love it because it’s so straightforward. No interminable waits for staff to deliver the bad news after you’ve eaten. Anyway, even as a novice in an English pub I knew I had to order my pint and Kathy’s wine at the bar. The bartender was a very pleasant young chap and we chatted about the usual subjects, the hot weather, where we were from and so on. He promptly served up the beverages and I produced a £10 note to pay him. Today that amount wouldn’t cover the drinks I dare say. I automatically pushed a 50p (pence) coin in his direction. He starred at it oddly and pushed it straight back. I wondered if I had insulted him with a small gratuity. “Thank you sir, but there is no tipping here,” he stated. We soon discovered that “here” meant all of England. Bartenders and restaurant staff don’t expect tips and the English generally don’t offer them either. Considering the cost of everything over there I can understand why! Not that we adopted the local custom with respect to gratuities however. I have given tips in restaurants and pubs many times over the years and staff gladly took the money. When we are with our Yorkshire friends he won’t allow me to tip. “Put the money back in your pocket Jeff. We don’t tip for bar service here,” Martin has told me, and quite sternly too. Despite those lessons my tendency is still to tip for good service. After all, that’s what we do here. In Canada or the U.S. we always tip wait staff although admittedly our gratuities are based on the quality of service. If the service is bad or the staff member is rude, no tip! I think that is more than fair actually. We never blame waitresses or waiters if food quality is poor. It’s not their fault. Admittedly wait staff always hear about bad food. That’s just an unfortunate fact of life in COACH & TOURS their line of work. I’ve now tipped my hand on automatic gratuities, hospitality or service charges. Call it what you like.

case you missed it I will give you a little detail about the Calgary situation which triggered this column. The west coast restaurant chain Earls opened its 67th location in Calgary on July 8, right during the annual Stampede. Appropriately and simply it is called “Earls.67.” Customers quickly discovered that wait staff do not expect tips. Instead there’s a 16 per cent surcharge added to every bill. Earls’ management calls it “a pilot project” and says if it proves popular with staff and customers it could be introduced at other locations. A company spokesman told the media their research tells them there will be no tipping in Canada in five to seven years. The firm claims a no tipping trend is currently growing in New York City, Europe and Australia. Frankly I seriously doubt that no tipping is coming here to stay. My opinion isn’t due to my daughter’s experience. It’s based on personal experience! My wife Kathleen and I are long-time travelers and we have spent more than 20 years criss-crossing the United Kingdom, Continental Europe and Ireland, not to mention North America. Before heading to a new destination we always do some research and that includes tipping practices, something that’s very important if you are going to be staying in hotels and eating in restaurants or pubs for days on end. Practices vary In terms of tipping, practices vary from country to country and from city to city. In England, for example, bartenders and waiters don’t generally expect tips. Mind you that varies depending on the quality and reputation of the restaurant. Of course quality doesn’t necessarily go with reputation! One afternoon, during our first independent visit to London in the 1990s, Kathy and I felt the need to escape the scorching heat. Contrary to what you might read or hear London can be very warm indeed in summertime. For anyone who hasn’t visited England,

Tipping in restaurants, service charges are an eternal issue Continued from page 28
their bills, whether you liked the service or not. The owners explained it very differently however. They said the 20 per cent was only included on bills paid via handheld electronic terminals. They said it was not automatic, but optional. “It isn’t compulsory,” one restauranteur told the National Post. “It’s an option and it is up to diners whether they OK that amount while completing the transaction.” That practice spread and it con-
tinues at certain restaurants in Canada, the US and elsewhere to this day. Still, in my experience people don’t like to be faced with an automatic surcharge. Instead they want to make a positive or negative statement about the restaurant and the service. The best way to do that is by tipping accordingly. In worst case scenarios some people refuse to pay for bad meals. I think that in extreme cases that is justified. Stories on the automatic tip situation in Toronto in 2012 did note that at that time 15 per cent was the
commonly accepted, but obviously unwritten, gratuity standard in Canada’s biggest city. I still feel that’s a fair tip today actually. But in Calgary for example, in 2012, diners were generally tipping 18-20 per cent and even as high as 25 per cent. Calgary and Alberta was flush in those days. I wonder what the standard is now after the fall on the oil patch? From all accounts Australian restaurants tend to pay servers well. Canada and Europe is somewhere in the middle. In the U.S. hourly wages for wait staff can be truly
terrible as we have discovered on our travels. Therefore American waitresses and waiters are far more dependent on gratuities. That’s why I don’t believe tipping is falling by the wayside in New York City. Serving staff in the ‘Big Apple’ have traditionally been poorly compensated. My information is that they earn less than half the hourly rate paid to wait staff in Toronto.
I believe tipping will continue, but in many different ways. The Calgary restaurant is just one venue in a city with hundreds upon hundreds of dining choices. People decide where they will eat for a variety of reasons. Tipping is just one of the considerations.

Latest Star Trek film goes ‘beyond’ and then some By Mark Haskins
The first thing I have to say is that Star Trek Beyond has the best use of The Beastie Boys’ Sabotage ever. Ever. The second thing is Simon Pegg writes a great Star Trek movie. At the edge of known space the U.S.S. Enterprise docks at Federation star base Yorktown to resupply. While there an alien arrives seeking help for her crew who crashed on a nearby planet. Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) readies his crew for a rescue mission. The Enterprise heads into uncharted territory only to be lured into a trap. A swarm of alien craft overwhelm The Enterprise, and tear her apart. The crew abandon ship, but only a handful make it to the planet without being captured. Kirk, Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) eventually find each other with the help of another stranded alien named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella). Jaylah agrees to help them, and offers her ‘house’ which just happens to be an old Federation ship named The Franklin. Meanwhile Sulu (John Cho), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and the rest of the crew are being held captive by Krall (Idris Elba). While Scotty attempts to get the Franklin to fly Kirk and the rest mount a rescue mission. It won’t be enough to just free the crew. Krall has plans that go beyond attacking one ship. He has eyes on destroying the Federation starting with Yorktown. There’s nothing like being in the movie theatre and being completely blown away. To be carried away on the wild ride is what movie magic is all about. Star Trek Beyond is exactly that. The sights and sounds are so incredibly real it’s impossible to imagine special effects getting any better than this. The plot is a high-stakes adventure that will have you gripping your armrest. Yet the dramatic is delicately balanced with inspired moments of humour. It is fastpaced action that never loses sight of the
characters and what motivates them. It is everything that was and is great about Star Trek. The cast is riveting to watch and have
actors did while making these characters their own, and making them fresh and new. New to the crew is Sofia Boutella. She offers the perfect combination of physical prowess and emotional empathy. On the other side Idris Elba has this strength of presence, and a sense of inevitability that makes Krall an implacable force. It’s the kind of performance that sends shivers down your spine. I’m often asked if a movie is worth seeing in the theatre. Star Trek Beyond is the reason movie theatres exist. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

A new twist on a summer dessert favourite Ingredients 1 container (275 g) mascarpone cheese 6 large peaches 1/4 cup (50 mL) orange liqueur 2 cups (500 mL) 35% whipping cream 2 tbsp (25 mL) icing sugar 24 large Italian-style ladyfingers Garnish: 1 large peach Preparation instructions Remove mascarpone from refrigerator to soften, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and pit peaches; set aside three. Coarsely chop remaining peaches and purĂŠe in food processor or blender until smooth. Add orange liqueur and pulse until combined. Pour into shallow bowl; set aside. Gently, pulse remaining peaches in food processor or blender
until slightly chunky. In large chilled bowl, using electric mixer, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Using the same beaters and in separate bowl, beat mascarpone and icing sugar together until soft. Add mascarpone to whipped cream and gently beat until well combined. Fold in slightly chunky peaches. Break ladyfingers in half and dip one at a time into the peach liqueur mixture to absorb liquid. Place both halves into the bottom of each one cup (250 mL) stemmed glass or dessert dish. Spoon about two tbsp (25 mL) of whipped cream mixture into each glass. Repeat with second layer of ladyfingers, making sure they are well dipped in the peach liqueur mixture. Top each glass equally with the remaining whipped cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate R0013760403

Americans continue to fuel remodeling spending across the country, driven by upward growth in real estate prices and the rising cost to trade up to a larger home. Basement renovations are expected to be a hot trend in 2016, as buyers look to maximize available living space rather than move, and as young buyers look to offset the cost of homeownership with potential income suites. While finishing a basement can be a great alternative to moving –– especially if you love your neighborhood — there are some challenges homeowners must be aware of when tackling belowgrade living spaces. Choosing the right products is vital to the comfort, safety and function of your new living area. Look for products that help to maximize energy efficiency and protect against moisture, fire and noise. Here are the top points to consider to ensure a successful basement renovation. Waterproof it. Check the interior foundation and floors to make sure there are no existing moisture issues, water damage or mold problems. Address any primary
moisture issues before finishing the space. Examine grading to ensure water runs away from your foundation. Insulation is key. Insulation plays a critical role in making your basement feel comfortable, while keeping it safe and dry. For the best results, install a rigid board insulation, like Roxul ComfortBoard IS, against the concrete foundation before you stud the wall. The board is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, which prevents thermal bridging through the studs, providing better thermal performance. Finish with a moisture-resistant and dimensionally stable insulation between the studs, like R14 Comfortbatt, to protect against common basement issues such as mold, mildew and rot. Choose a functional design. Draw out plans, carefully taking into consideration any low ceilings or small windows. Try to incorporate structural features, such as attractive wood beams, into your design. Keep the space as open as possible. Select lighting that provides a bright, airy feel. Don’t forget to soundproof it. Soundproofing is the ultimate

solution to maximize your basement’s quiet and privacy. Whether your newfound space will function as a home theatre, music room, home office or playroom, it will benefit from quality acoustic insulation, like Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound. Not only is it highly effective, but it’s also easy to install. Consider fire safety. Since many basements are now being renovated as income suites, fire protection is also a vital consideration. Whenever possible, select building materials with a high fire-resistance rating and look for products that will not off-gas or contribute to toxic smoke in the event of a fire. Include additional exits in your renovation plan and educate yourself on your local fire code. Before you start your renovation, be sure to check with your municipality to secure the right permits and to ensure that you’re complying with local bylaws and building codes. Finishing a basement can be a smart renovation, if done properly, adding to a home’s value, increasing its function and providing greater enjoyment or income potential.

Make a home offer they can’t refuse Buying a home can be very competitive. A well-maintained property with all of the bells and whistles that today’s buyers demand figures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers can’t refuse. Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept. • Get preapproved for a mortgage. Sellers’ patience may wear thin with buyers who are not preapproved for a mortgage when making their offers. Preapproval can speed up the selling process, as buyers won’t need to secure financing afterward. When sellers receive multiple offers on their homes, they are more likely to sell their homes to buyers whose financing is already lined up as opposed to buyers who have to scramble to secure loans. • Establish a strong rapport with the sellers. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to develop emotional attachments to their homes, and buyers should keep that in mind when viewing a home and negotiating their purchase. Sellers won’t want to hear about how ugly a home is or how much money buyers will have to spend to bring the home up to their standards. While buyers must weigh such variables when making their offers, keep it as cordial as possible and avoid any inflammatory remarks
during the negotiation process. Sellers may be more likely to accept a lower offer from a buyer they like than a higher offer from someone they don’t like. • Don’t delay an inspection. When a property is drawing significant interest, buyers can set their offers apart from the rest by arranging for a near-immediate inspection. Some buyers may want sellers to give them a couple of weeks to arrange for an inspection, and that may irritate sellers who want to sell their homes as quickly as possible. Have an inspector ready to perform an inspection within days of making your offer. • Include an escalation clause. When making an offer on a home, prospective buyers can include an escalation clause. Such a clause acknowledges that a potential buyer is willing to increase his or her initial offer by a predetermined amount to exceed any bids that are higher than that initial offer. When sellers trigger such clauses, they are often required to show the other offers they received that triggered the escalation clause. Escalation clauses show the sellers you really want the house while keeping potential buyers’ hopes of buying the home alive when the bids are competitive. Prospective home buyers may find themselves in some stiff competition upon finding their dream homes. But a few simple strategies can make their offers stand out and increase their chances of buying their ideal homes.

Tips for first-time home buyers
Buying a home for the first time is an exciting period in a person’s life. Deciding to buy a home often indicates buyers are ready to establish firm roots in a community where they can see themselves living for years to come. The process of buying a home is rarely easy, and first-time buyers may feel overwhelmed at times. Such feelings are perfectly normal and felt by first-time buyers regardless of their budgets or home preferences. But there are a few ways to make buying a home more enjoyable than it is nervewracking. • Examine your finances. The first step toward buying a home has nothing to do with deciding if you prefer a craftsman- or Tudor-style home. Before you even begin your search for a home, carefully examine your finances to determine how much is coming in and how much is going out of your household each month. Figure out how much debt you are currently carrying, be it student loan, automotive, consumer or any other types of debt. Order a credit report so you can see how prospective lenders are likely to see you, and address any errors you find on the report before meeting with any lenders. Peruse past bank statements to track your spending habits, looking for areas where you might be able to scale back if need be. • Be prepared when visiting lenders. Prospective borrowers can make the home-buying process go smoothly by having all of the necessary documentation ready when visiting potential lenders. Many mortgage lenders will want to see some recent pay stubs (from both borrowers if buying with a spouse or partner), a couple years’
worth of W-2s and tax returns, as well as your recent bank statements. You can always call ahead and ask lenders what they need to see when applying for a loan. Having these materials ready in advance means you will spend less time at the bank and more time finding the right home for you. • Secure financing before you begin house hunting. Many first-time home buyers might not realize the benefits
of securing financing before they begin looking for a home. Mortgage preapproval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, preapproval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer. • Work with a local real estate agent. Real estate agents are an invaluable
resource to home buyers and are especially valuable to those buyers who have never before purchased a home. Agents can help first-time buyers navigate the often confusing and, at times, disappointing process of buying a home. Choose an agent who is established in the area where you want to buy a home. He or she can provide information about local property taxes and schools as well as a multitude of
additional issues that first-time buyers may not think of. Agents also know the lay of the land regarding home prices, which can ease first-time buyers’ fears about overpaying for their first homes. A home is the biggest purchase many people will ever make. First-time buyers may be intimidated as they begin searching for their homes, but there are several ways to make the process go smoothly.
