Homestead invests $700,000 in local Boys and Girls Club BY TORI STAFFORD

tstaff ord@metroland.com

Smiles and laughter fi lled the Kids Zone room at the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area (BGCKA) on Friday, Sept. 1, as those with the club and those with Homestead Land Holdings Ltd. came together for a major announcement.

An avid supporter of the BGCKA, Homestead and the company's owners, the Smith family, have invested in the local organization, donating $50,000 per year for eight years – or $700,000 total – in order to support and continue the 20 hours of free youth programing BGCKA delivers on a weekly basis. The donation, which allowed the club to purchase the Kids Zone, where area children and their families can safely engage in active play, will ensure all revenues from the Kids Zone go directly into supporting

BGCKA’s youth programs. “We’re happy to support the Boys and Girls Club in this endeavour,” said Holly Smith, noting that supporting children, youth and families in Kingston is a priority for Homestead as the kids of the BGCKA summer camp played in the Kids Zone play structure. “The enthusiasm [the kids] have for it is contagious. To see this many smiles is a reward in and of itself.”

recent staff report. The delays left staff scrambling to find new housing projects that can start construction next spring in order to avoid losing provincial funding that’s been earmarked for Kingston. Based on staff’s advice, councillors approved three new projects for fast track funding approval “in principle” as they are considered the most “viable” for a spring construction start. These include a 16-unit townhouse project by Kingston Home Base Housing at an unidentified site that still needs to be acquired, and 24 townhouse units proposed by Kingston and Frontenac Housing Corporation (KFHC) divided between their Nickle Avenue and Curtis Crescent property and their Cliff Crescent site. The Home Base Housing project includes a mixture of one and two-bedroom units in a stacked townhouse format with affordable rents for 25 years in exchange for an estimated $2.2 million in capital funding assistance.

BY BILL HUTCHINS

You could call it a pleasant problem. Kingston is awash with cash to spend on new affordable housing projects, but the city is running out of time to find willing partners to spend it. City officials say they risk losing about $2.9 million in funding from the provincial government if new housing isn’t shovel ready by next spring. Two affordable housing projects that already have council’s support - the former school property at 671 Brock St. and a former Notre Dame sisters’ residence at 7 Wright Cres. - have been slow to get the necessary construction approvals. “Due to challenges finalizing the legal agreements, 7 Wright Cres. will not meet a 2018 construction timeline while 671 Brock St. is under appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board,” said a

“The project would house youth transitioning from homelessness and youth-led single parent families,” staff explained. KFHC wants to expand affordable housing on two of its existing sites, including the addition of 16 one-bedroom units at Nickle Avenue and Curtis Crescent, and eight one-bedroom units on Cliff Crescent. The agency says both projects will have lower rents for a period of 30 years with an estimated construction cost of about $3 million. However, KFHC says the residential units will be phased in over several years and not all of the money is needed up front. About 16 units are slated to be built next spring. Staff added: “The addition of affordable housing units will diversify the housing oppor-

tunities available at each property by providing one-bedroom units for which there is the greatest demand and wait times.” The city’s housing and social services department says funding commitments can be made to the two shelved projects at future dates once a more accurate timeline for construction is known. Capital funding for local affordable housing is expected to continue in 2019 and 2020. Staff say they will report back to council this fall with a final list of 2018 affordable housing funding commitments, which will be dependent on the status of the 671 Brock Street appeal and the advancement of approvals for the Kingston Home Base Housing and KFHC projects.

City shuffles affordable housing priorities to keep government funding

BY BILL HUTCHINS

Kingston’s flagship arena is tracking below its revenue targets through the first half of 2017. But the 6,700-seat Rogers K-Rock Centre still has a few concert dates booked for this year to draw in more crowds and cash, including a return performance by the Rocket Man.

Newly-released figures show the privatelymanaged arena earned a net profit of about $287,000 between January and June based on $1.3 million in overall revenues and just over $1 million in operating expenses. The profi t is tracking at less than 50 per cent of the $607,000 operating year-end income projected by SMG, the arena’s operator. SMG predicted it would host a total of 33 spectator events this year, but only 10 appeared on the concert calendar through the first six months. Atlantic City & Philadelphia ................

Kingston Heritage - Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - 4

Kingston’s fl agship arena has work to do to reach attendance, revenue targets The lack of concerts and other performances has led to a predictable drop in attendance. Figures show 28,280 people attended shows through the fi rst six months compared with 2017’s overall concert projection of 85,800 visitors. However, one positive development in the arena’s use appears to be increasing interest in the Kingston Frontenacs. Nearly 68,000 people took in hockey games in the first half of the year, which is already at 60 per cent toward reaching the year-end target of 113,844. The surge in support for the Frontenacs pushed overall arena attendance to 116,000, about half of its 229,000 attendance projection for the year. The K-Rock Centre also has a handful of fall concert dates where it hopes to make up for a quiet summer season, including I Love The 90’s Tour on Sept. 8, country singer Dallas Smith on Oct. 19 and psychic medium Theresa Caputo on Nov. 6. But the highlight is expected to be the return of Elton John on Nov. 14. The legendary entertainer is playing only two Ontario cities this fall, Kingston and St. Catharines, following extended shows in Las Vegas. The last time the Rocket Man was here was in 2010. “We are proud the Rogers K-Rock Centre,

seven-time winner of Major Facility of Year, was one of only two Ontario locations selected to host what promises to be an incredible show by one of the most popular and highly acclaimed artists of all time,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson in a news release. SMG is also attracting more non-spectator events this year, such as banquets, trade shows, conventions, school convocations and other events. The venue hosted 30 such events in the first six months and appears on track to meet its target of 43 events. However, the arena management company may find it hard to duplicate the success of 2016 when it brought in a profit of $757,000, anchored by The Tragically Hip’s emotional hometown concert. “For all of the events that have been or will ever be presented at Rogers K-Rock Centre, the significance and national impact of The Tragically Hip Aug. 20 concert likely will never be matched,” arena general manager Lynn Carlotto told council last December. Under an exclusive management deal, the city is guaranteed to receive at least $700,000 from SMG every year. Any shortfall in concert, hockey or other revenues will come from the company’s own pockets. Final year-end numbers won’t be known until early 2018 when the downtown venue marks its 10th anniversary.

Three Kingstonians are among 32 people who will bike across Canada this September in support of childhood cancer research – and between the three of them, they’ve already raised well over $100,000. Ken Cross, whose daughter Megan is a leukemia survivor, will participate in the The Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation’s National Kids Cancer Ride for the seventh time, and this will be the first ride for his teammates Isabelle Richardson and Scott Slack. The three were set to fly out to White Rock, B.C. on Sunday, Sept. 3, and on Sept. 6 they’ll dip their bikes’ rear tires in the Pacific before setting out on an 18-day journey to Halifax. Slack’s sister taught Megan when she was in Grade 1, and was he was always moved by the family’s story; he first met Cross when he did a stage ride with the 2010 Coast to Coast Across Canada team. “The other riders just kind of touched my heart,” he says. “I wanted to do something. Then the ‘what if’ factor kicked in, with my own son and my nephews and nieces and all the other children around – I needed to do something to try to help.” Richardson’s life has also been touched by cancer. “My best friend’s sister passed from cancer, and my mom just recently [was diagnosed with cancer],” she says. “Around the same time, I met Ken and thought about doing the ride, and then when that happened it gave me an extra reason.”

The three have been training throughout the year for the big ride, during which they expect to bike about 170 kilometres a day. Along the way, the riders will make stops to interact with different communities across the country and help people learn

more about childhood cancer in Canada. “We’re able engage and really educate them on childhood cancer charities,” Cross explains. “It’s one of those causes that is either misunderstood or woefully underfunded. Childhood cancer charities

receive less than three per cent of the monies in total across the country, in terms of cancer support.” All of the money raised from the ride will be shared among the 17 oncology units in Canada that include a pediatric section, including the one at Kingston General Hospital. “The Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, the foundation that actually puts on this and other events, is the only foundation in Canada that specifically provides 100 per cent of the money raised back to childhood cancer programs and charities that support it,” says Cross. As of Thursday, Richardson had raised just shy of $25,000, Slack nearly $22,000, and Cross about $65,000. People can still donate to them or any of the National Kids Cancer Ride participants at www.nationalkidscancerride.com. “It’s not about what your number is individually, it’s about the total collective number,” Cross says. He notes that he’s proud of Richardson and Slack for stepping up and taking on this challenge with him, remarking that the ride is a huge commitment – not only for those who do the biking, but also for their loved ones and the larger community at home who support them. “From a dad to somebody like Isabelle, who had a childhood friend touched by cancer, to Scott and the faculty at Mother Theresa - thanks for doing this, because there may be direct or indirect relationships to why you’re doing the ride, but collectively we’re all doing it for the same reason, and that’s to help kids.”

The SWIHHP owes much of its impressive success to the pinball energy of Laura Murray, architect of its vision and tireless promoter of local history. The Queen’s English professor has passed endless hours nosing through the Queen’s archives and poring over city directories. She and a platoon of volunteers interview old-timers and organize popular neighbourhood walking tours. “I love doing oral history because people are so eloquent,” she explains. “This way of looking at history shows how ordinary people show their artistry by the way they tell their stories.” Laura figures it’s time Kingston paid attention to 20th-century stories, particularly personal and social history. “That’s been hiding in plain sight. There are a lot of people in Kingston who care about recent histories.” The SWIHHP efforts will soon bear fruit in the form of a six-part documentary series that gives voice to many of the 80 people interviewed about life and work in the near north end. It has organized a series of “listening parties” at Bagot Street’s Calvary Church. It’s a way to honour the people who have shared their stories. -------------------------------------------------------------Meanwhile, the history wars continue. Prominent historian Ian McKay, formerly at Queen’s and now at McMaster, has been watching for decades. He says that “these controversies almost always generate more heat than light.” For some real local light, tune in to the six-part audio series “Stories of the Swamp Ward” starting on CFRC, 101.9 FM, Sept. 18 at 4 p.m. After those

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Why is everyone so obsessed with pumpkin? There is no denying that fall is just around the corner, but in case you needed a reminder, look around any retail location. If you do, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll inevitably see all things pumpkin themed, flavoured, shaped and even scented. I get that with a new season comes exciting seasonal things, but when did the world become so obsessed with Pumpkin Spice? As someone who worked at Starbucks for many years, I always felt the pumpkin excitement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Starbucks actually created the pumpkin spice latte more than a decade ago, so I guess we have them to thank for the product spiral that continues to grow each year. I remember people asking when pumpkin spice was coming back all throughout the summer and when it did come back, you really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be working that day. In fact, just thinking about it is giving me flashbacks similar to the ones I got earlier this summer with the Unicorn Frappuccino. People go crazy for that ridiculous sugary fake tasting syrup in their latte and to this day, I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand

why. If you really want a spice beverage that feels like fall order a chai latte. While I get the appeal of a seasonal beverage and the excitement that goes along with it, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why pumpkin has become such a big thing. This year, you can go to the grocery store and find pumpkin oreos, kit kats, yogurt, ice cream, beer, popcorn, hummus, bagels and even gum. In 2016, it was estimated that there were nearly 70 different pumpkin products on the shelves at grocery stores; that is insane. So is it just the fact that these products are limited time? Is that it? Or is it because people really love the coziness of pumpkin on a crisp fall day? I was always under the impression that everyone disliked fall because it was the season directly after summer and it moved us closer to winter, but apparently pumpkin makes that all go away. I love fall, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mentioned that numerous times in previous columns, and I love it for many different reasons, but fake pumpkin flavoured things is not one of those reasons. I do love pumpkin pie or

soup or things actually made from the gourd itself, but not artificially flavoured pumpkin items that are just pumpkin for the sake of pumpkin. Maybe it is just the sugar in all of these products. We are all addicted to sugar so maybe pumpkin just gives us an excuse to fulfill that craving without feeling as guilty. I also think there is a social aspect to the pumpkin craze and as with most things, social media is helping the craze grow to new heights. Everyone has to order a pumpkin latte so they can post it to Twitter or Instagram and show the world how cool and on trend they are. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying this is a bad thing, I do it too sometimes, but I do think this accounts for some of the pumpkin hype. While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to judge those who partake in all things pumpkin, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give in to all of the craziness myself. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy some pumpkin things this fall, but no more than usual and you certainly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find me chewing pumpkin gum anytime soon. Â

The North Korean 'threat' is of our making and we can resolve it BY JEFF MCLAREN

North Korea is a traumatized country in a 67 year state of war. Since the Korean War â&#x20AC;&#x153;endedâ&#x20AC;? in a cease fire and not a peace treaty, fighting could restart at any time. The U.S. conducts several military exercises every year in which they practice invading North Korea. These exercises are labelled â&#x20AC;&#x153;defensiveâ&#x20AC;? but include a whole range of offensive weapons like aircraft carriers and stealth bombers and offensive manoeuvres like amphibious invasions behind enemy lines. Imagine for a moment how Canadians would feel if the U.S. conducted military exercises right next to our border in which they practised invading Canada.

Consider for a moment the North Korean perspective. At the end of the Second World War it was the richer and more developed of the two Koreas. The South was a relatively neglected part of the American post war administration. Through the period of the UN Temporary Commission on Korea, there were massacres and suppression campaigns directed at the South Korean people by the occupying forces. One example I heard in my nine years living in South Korea was a first person account of the Jeju Uprising that described events much closer to war crimes than the whitewash story we can look up today. These and other forgotten stories are the very kinds of things North Koreans are taught in Vice Bishop Vice President President &&&Regional Regional Publisher Mike Vice President RegionalPublisher PublisherPeter MikeMount Mount pbishop@metroland.com mmount@perfprint.ca mmount@perfprint.ca Ext. 613-283-3182 104 613-283-3182,ext. ext.108 104

their history classes. Ending this foreign oppression was one of the reasons for their attempt to unite the two artificially separated Koreas. The Korean War of 1950-1953 did not go so well for the North. They were carpet bombed into the Stone Age; the U.S., under UN authority, bombed every building and anything that moved. The UN effort killed about three million people, or about 20 per cent of the North Korean population. The events of these warring years created a collective fear and trauma in the North Korean population that is brought to mind several times a year as the U.S. practices invading their country.

Free speech and transparency When newly minted Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer delivered his party-leader acceptance speech back in May, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice the appearance of a new plank in the party platform. Among the first orders of business, Scheer declared, would be to restore the university as bastion of free speech, and then threatened to remove federal funding if the institutions did not comply. This is a novel policy development, well outside of more traditional conservative policy totems like lower taxes, growing the economy, and improving national security. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this really all about? Are the Conservatives really going to remove federal funding from the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brightest lights because they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t providing sufficient security for pro-life and anti-BDS rallies? Why is this suddenly a primary policy concern? Two weeks ago, when a Canadian nationalist movement threatened to march on the University of Toronto, Scheer made clear that his fight for campus free speech doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t extend to the ranks of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neo-Nazi movement. Condemnation of skinheads and Neo-Nazis is an easy layup, to be sure; however, Scheerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about-face also exposes the hollowness of such political rhetoric: it goes something like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;we will protect the right of pro-lifers, pro-Israeli settlements agitators, and men-rights activists free from obstruction of loud counter-protesters, but when you combine all these elements into naked white supremacy? Well thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step too far. â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a red line somewhere. To clarify, we are not advocating censorship, merely transparency. So many of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems could be solved if only citizens were willing to lift their partisan blinders for a moment and scratch the surface of some of these issues. There are many questions that need to be answered here, like who is paying for these people to speak on academic campuses, and for what larger purpose? Why schedule them on university campuses, where they are know they are going to generate controversy, if not explicitly to provoke protest and condemnation - unless their only goal is to goad, mock and jeer the protestors? Perspective is what the world lacks. If you are inclined to side with the free-speech fetishists, take a moment and breathe through your anger and ponder why the that side has chosen to make culturally diverse, urban centres for critical thought and higher learning teeming with protestors full of youthful vigor as the site of all their performances. The answer is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come looking for a fight, one they would like to see magnifi ed, and spun by the far rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media ecosystem for larger national consumption. Canada, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smarter than this.

The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) could soon decide the fate of at least a couple of well publicized and controversial tall building projects in Kingston. Homestead’s twin apartment towers on lower Queen Street, at 17 and 19 floors, and IN8 Developments’ 15-storey Capitol Condo on Princess Street are both on the board’s radar. But, make no mistake, the board’s days as the supreme decider of which height is right and dictator of the sheer scale of allowable developments – whether the applications were supported by local councils or not - are numbered. The province is planning to overhaul the powerful appeals body, whose members have been called upon to decide and impose important land use decisions on neighbourhoods for decades. Usually, residents and developers find themselves squaring off in the OMB’s quasi-judicial tribunal when a council decision doesn’t go their way. The court-like proceedings where cameras are not allowed only add to the stifling ambiance where visitors feel like they’re choking on a stale bureaucratic sandwich. OMB appeals are all about the lawyers and urban planners. It’s legalese to the nth degree. Last spring, the Ontario government announced a long-awaited overhaul of the board’s authority and mandate. Founded in 1906, it remains one of the oldest tribunals in the province and, likely, the

least accountable. While it’s pretty clear the adjudicators take care to listen to all sides in the verbal presentations and to read the often mountains of documents before making informed decisions, their rulings often defy the will of municipal politicians and planners, and are almost impossible to appeal. And its members sure as heck aren’t elected. That’s one of the main reasons why a modern day facelift is needed. Mayors and councillors are elected by constituents to represent their concerns, uphold or establish policies and to stand by their voting records at election time. But even when politicians reflect the majority sentiment over, say, a new building in a neighbourhood, their decisions can be overruled by the government-appointed body that is the OMB. The government unveiled a public consultation document inviting ideas until Sept. 1 that would scale back the board’s jurisdiction powers to better meet the needs of Ontarians while ensuring “well planned sustainable, vibrant communities.” But the province also indicated the direction it’s moving toward; allowing for more meaningful and less costly resident participation, giving more weight to local decisions and allowing alternative ways to settle disputes, bringing fewer municipal and provincial decisions to the OMB, and supporting clearer and more predictable decision making.

The changes could be implemented as soon as 2018 – which also happens to be an election year in Ontario – starting with a new name. The OMB will be called the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. BILL HUTCHINS

The long-held knock against the OMB is that its rulings typically favour developers not neighbourhoods. Predictably, developers are not enthusiastic about some of the proposed reforms. They fear it will give NIMBYs and residents more sway to influence projects. They may have a point, but the reforms also mean that council decisions on planning matters can no longer be brushed aside by the board. Future land use rulings would be limited to appeals based on whether a project reflects provincial Smart Growth policies and the city’s Official Plan, and the board could no longer impose a totally different development than what was initial-

ly applied for. Kingston has a long history of OMB battles, often involving residential opposition to tall buildings in the downtown area. The proposed Capitol condo at 223 Princess Street is the latest example with an OMB hearing slated for March 2018, some 18 months after the residents’ appeal was filed. Homestead’s decision to appeal its own twin apartment development is based on a non-decision of council – presumably keeping the OMB in its back pocket should

council and public input go sideways. The overhaul is welcome news because the status quo doesn’t seem to be working. Appeals are daunting and expensive, hearings take too long to start and rulings can be confusing and unaccountable. The challenge for the province with these pending reforms is to balance the need for growth and the location and type of density that fills it without ruining a neighbourhood’s quality of life.

build more and longer range nuclear ICBMs so they will be able to hit any city in the world. Today, the costs of stopping North Korea with armed force will make an enemy of China, lead to tens of millions of casualties in Asia and perhaps North America and Australia and likely worldwide environmental degradation from nuclear fallout. This is now particularly important for Canada because we have just come in range of North Korean nuclear ICBMs. This is no longer an issue that affects just some of our trading partners. Canada was a member of the UN force that invaded North Korea and we are a strong supporter of the U.S. Canada may very likely be, or soon be, a potential target for North Korea’s “do as much harm if attacked” strategy. The best solution to this problem cannot be the use of military force. North Korea is often depicted as a terrible place to live; a place with no human rights, with a lack of freedom, with poverty and starvation. This is likely very true because they are a country suffering under sanctions and in a state of war. They are in an existential crisis with enemies on their borders threatening invasion. Consider how we have dealt with similar situations: Canada suspended a lot of human rights during our

last three existential crises when the War Measures Act was invoked. We also imprisoned Canadians of German, Ukrainian, Slavic and Japanese decent and we confiscated their property. It took Canadians a generation or more to start to address these wrongs. The point of this example is to say that compared to a state of peace, being in a state of war is not good for the people of any country. North Korea has been in a state of war since 1950. They are bound to have a very different kind of society; one more like what we may have experienced during wartime. Then add the imposed sanctions. North Koreans need to eat. Making it difficult for their population to trade does not engender trust or warm feelings. It forces them into elicit trade deals. Sanctions imposed by the UN drive a lot of their bad behaviour because they need to survive and it is all that they can do to get what they need to live. Peace and security is the highest and best answer. Countries with peace and security tend to be the freest and best places to live. It took peace and security for Canada to return the civil rights we lost during the times of the War Measures Act. It took us generations of peace to start to address the wrongs suffered by some Canadians during those times and in other historical periods. North Korea does not have peace

or security right now or any of the luxuries that come with them. It will likely take generations of peace and security for North Korea to fully integrate into the international system. One thing is clear to me: they won’t be forced and if we try to force them they will hurt us, our allies and, our trading partners. If we want to ensure our safety and keep this from escalating way out of proportion, I believe that Canada’s goal as a middle power in the international order should be to seek peace and security in the world. In the case of North Korea we should start by working for an end to aggressive U.S. actions. We should call for an end to the three yearly combined military field training exercises. Next, call for the removal of American combat forces in South Korea and the gradual lifting of sanctions against North Korea. We should also accept North Korea’s nuclear power status, and normalize diplomatic relations. Diplomacy matters because this is not the crisis people think it is. North Korea is not going to start a war because there is no good end for them if they do. But the U.S. might. The U.S. has the implicating track record and an impulsive leader. Canada should use our close relationship to the U.S. to help avoid starting a nuclear war.

The North Korean 'threat' is of our making and we can resolve it

BY TORI STAFFORD

tstaff ord@metroland.com

After The Kingston Heritage published an article regarding a standstill in the investigation into an incident involving animal cruelty which occurred in downtown Kingston, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) has decided to re-address the case. Although The Kingston Heritage initially reported that the incident occurred on Tuesday, July 4, further investigation has revealed the incident actually took place on Sunday, June 25. The incident saw local wildlife control expert Adam King arrive to a call regarding a skunk in a trap left in a downtown parking lot, only to find that someone had connected jumper cables to the metal cage of the trap in an apparent attempt to kill the skunk by electrocution. King concluded that, when that method failed, the person or persons attempting to deal with the skunk left it in the parking lot, exposed to the hot sun with no shade or shelter. King, the owner of King Wildlife Solution and former wildlife rehabilitation worker, told The Kingston Heritage that he reported the incident immediately to the OSPCA and to Kingston police. Follow up calls made by this reporter found that Kingston police had no record of the incident, and that the OSPCA had apparently transferred the case to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF). A representative from the OSPCA explained that, in some cases, the MNRF has more jurisdiction under their legislation than the OSPCA does — in this case specifically, with regard to the improper use of animal traps — and that the two organizations have a working relationship and often share or pass along cases. “We both have legislation that deals with animal cruelty,” said Alison Cross, director of communications and marketing for the OSPCA. “We felt because the MNR (sic) also has laws that deal with the ways of trapping, and regulations on those types of things, there was a lot more area for them to address [this] in their legislation than us in our

legislation.” However, at the time the original article was published, the MNRF seemed to have no record of this case coming to them whatsoever. In fact, following the publication of the first article, this reporter received word from the ministry that it “has not been involved in this.”

patcher at the central MNRF reporting line on Monday, June 26. At that time, our officer was reporting two cases to the MNRF, one was the skunk and another case involved a deer,” Cross told The Kingston Heritage in an email. This reporter then spoke with Jolanta Kowalski, a senior media relations officer with the MNRF, following a detailed email explaining exactly what the OSPCA had told her. Kowalski maintained that the ministry could find no record of receiving

a call about this incident, and explained that she had spoken to at least four different arms of the ministry that may have received the call (including the reporting line the OSPCA claims to have contacted). However, when all of the facts of the case were again laid out to the ministry, Kowalski said she was unsure if they were “looking back that far” with regard to the incident being reported on June 25.

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH?

StrESS

The original article on Friday, Aug. 11 brought much feedback to The Kingston Heritage through a number of emails and social media messages asking if we would further look into what happened with this case. This reporter continued to press for answers as to what happened with a case that had seemingly fallen through the cracks. Cross explained that, when the OSPCA transfers a case to the MNRF, they do not necessarily follow up, nor are they necessarily notified if the ministry decides not to investigate further. After communicating back and forth with the MNRF, The Kingston Heritage was told that the ministry could “confirm we were not contacted by the OSPCA related to this incident.” Then, as the OSPCA dug further into their records, they found the exact date the call came into them from King (June 25), and the date the call was transferred to the MNRF, according to Cross. Because the call came in on a Sunday and no animal was in need of immediate care (because King was able to successfully free the skunk), the case was dealt with by an OSPCA officer on Monday, June 26. “Our officer spoke with a female dis-

Teens challenged to disconnect from technology for social experiment BY MANDY MARCINIAK

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

For Kingston teen Lily Rich, 14, Instagram and Netflix are essential to everyday life — or at least she thought they were. Recently, Rich and fi ve other local teens were asked to participate in a social experiment that asked them to give up technology for a week. “The point was to see how much we use technology, to show us that we can actually live without it and to show us how addictive it can be at times,” explained Rich, a member

of the Disconnected Challenge experiment run by researchers at Queen’s and the University of Ottawa earlier this year. “I thought it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but by the second day I couldn’t believe how much free time I had.” According to Queen’s University researcher Valerie Michaelson, a post-doctoral fellow in the School of Religion and the Department of Health Sciences, the idea was to engage with teens and try to understand what the facilitators or barriers are to living well as a teenager. “They are experts in what it is like to be a teenager today and when we only stick to our

adult research we don’t see some really important insights that these kids may have,” she explained. “They said social media is one of the biggest things for them and it is like an extension of their physical environment and how they live. We wanted to explore that.” Teens involved in the project ranged in age from 13 to 16. Each of them was asked to track their social media, phone and internet usage for two weeks and then disconnect for one week. They were allowed to use their phone to contact their parents or in an emergency, and they were allowed to watch movies with other family members, but usage ended there. “I really like Instagram and Netflix and those were the hardest for me,” said Rich. “Normally, when I am bored I just watch a show, but I had to find other things to do.” Instead, Rich found that she read more, went outside more and even interacted with her family more. “Before I was on my phone in my room a lot and without that I would go downstairs and do something with my brother or talk to my parents.” Along with the teens, researchers on the project also disconnected for the week. Michelson said she dealt with similar challenges and experienced similar benefits. “We were very committed and curious about how it would work and what impact we would see,” she said. “I often text my kids to come down for dinner and that is a bit embarrassing, but I had to actually go upstairs and get them.

Or I would email a colleague who is three offices over and I actually had to go there and have a conversation instead. I realized that I take a lot of shortcuts instead of being face-to-face with people.” Following the weeklong disconnect, both Rich and Michaelson also found that the way they used social media and technology changed. “I actually use it a lot less now. I don’t check my phone as often now and I don’t feel the need to check it all the time,” said Rich. “It opened my eyes a lot and I realized how much time I wasted looking at a screen. You can actually talk to people and get outside more.” Michaelson saw similar changes and she hopes that the experiment will inspire others to disconnect, or at least evaluate how and why they use technology on a day-to-day basis. “We are not encouraging people to stop, but we want them to think about it and be intentional about their use,” she said. “Use it as a tool.” For her, using technology and social media is comparable to using a hammer. “You can use it to do some creative things, but you can also use it to be destructive if you aren’t intentional,” she explained. “A hammer is not something that takes over your life; when you are done with it, you put it down and technology should be the same.” For more about the Disconnection Challenge and its results, check out the groups video at https://vimeo.com/222690829

That is where I got the idea of creating my own take-home product and just went from there.” With Dragon’s Den as an inspiration, McIntosh decided to take Rolling Desserts and his ice plate to the Dragons themselves. Earlier this year, he auditioned for the show here in Kingston. He practised and practised ahead of his slot at the Ambassador Hotel and in the end, he felt really good about his product and performance in front of the producers. “When I was done, I had a feeling I would get a call and I did,” he said. “I went to Toronto to the CBC building to fi lm in late April and it was really Brandon McIntosh with his ice plate and scrapers. Earlier this year, he took his Rolling Desserts and the scary, but a great experience.” While McIntosh can’t share how ice plate to Dragon's Den.

that the episode will air in the coming months. “I am waiting now to hear if it will air and they will let me know a couple weeks in advance,” he said. “It is exciting.” Regardless of how things go with the Dragons, McIntosh is moving forward with his product and he has started an Indie GoGo campaign for his ice plates; in just 11 days, he has already raised over $25,000, more than doubling his original goal. He has been surprised by the response, but he also knew that Rolling Desserts would appeal to people of all ages. “I think it is just the process that is appealing. It is really different,” he said. “For the taste side of it, homemade ice cream has a totally different taste than store-bought and then the added experience of doing it yourself gets people really excited.” The ice plates retail for just $50 through the Indie GoGo campaign, and according to McIntosh, they are essentially a fancy ice pack. After freezing, each plate can do about five sheets of ice cream and the recipe possibilities are endless. “You can basically incorporate anything — candy bars, fruit, cakes — there are lots of options,” he said. Now, with all of the online success, McIntosh is working on manufacturing the product itself and working with companies in China. “I tried for a while to get it m a nu f a c t u r e d

He has also been working with KEDCO to learn more about running the business itself and for him that has been the best part of the entire process. “I love the learning side of it,” he said. “When you have a direct goal and you have to learn to get there, it is really exciting and challenging. It is awesome to look back to six months ago and see where I am now, and I am excited for the future.” To learn more about Rolling Desserts, visit https://www.rollingdesserts.com/ or look for it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Back to school time was yet another reminder of Depression times Mother and me. The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school. There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen. “Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a Getting ready to go back to school after the moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to summer was over, was no big deal.

I never mentioned new shoes again, and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose grease and a piece of fl annelette, and I saw her rubbing the shoes as if she hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She

didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them. When I went to bed, the brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing.

OSPCA ‘looking into’ case of animal cruelty involving electrocuted skunk in Kingston

Continued from page 11

At that point, The Kingston Heritage had informed the MNRF of what dates the OSPCA claimed to have transferred the case. Kowalski said that, by time of print, she was unable to confirm if and when the call from the OPSCA came in. Despite all of the back and forth communication, the continued investigation into this incident does have a silver lining:

After reading The Kingston Heritage’s initial article and determining that the MNRF was not looking into the case, the OSPCA is now looking into what they are able to do at this point to deal with the case. “Knowing that this is an investigation that’s not being done by the MNR (sic), we can look back and see if there is anything further that we can do on our side,” Cross said. “So that’s what our officers are doing

right now — now that we know that they’re not going to move forward with it, we’re going to expand and see if there’s anything we can do.” For King, who was once again faced with a call involving cruelty to an animal when he found someone had trapped a skunk and left it exposed to the sun without water or shelter for 48 hours (which is illegal) on Friday, Aug. 18, finding out the OSPCA has decided to re-examine the first incident came as a happy surprise. “That’s awesome. That’s really good to hear! I like that,” King said. “Thank you for following up with all of that.” He said he reported his other instance of cruelty to an animal — again a skunk — to the OSPCA, too, and that they were following up accordingly. The issue when it comes

to people trapping skunks is that they become afraid to deal with the animal once it is trapped, King expressed. “Everyone has the perception that a skunk will spray you as soon as you come close to it, which is not the case whatsoever. I’ve pulled jars off the heads of skunks before, and I’ve never been sprayed. I release them from cages all the time, and I’ve never been sprayed,” he said, noting that he was sprayed once when he was trying to remove a skunk from a client’s garage, but that in that incident, it made sense for the skunk to feel defensive. “If you move slowly and calmly, they’re actually very calm creatures to be around.” His advice to anyone dealing with a skunk issue on their property? “Call a professional, obviously,” he said with a laugh.

My Take

FREE YOURSELF FROM

The New ONTARIO CARBON TAX

Lucky Logan has no car chases. There are no gunfights. It has some funny moments but it's by no means a comedy of errors. It is a clever and intricate heist film. What you get are some very interesting characters executing their plan with clockwork precision. You get a funny and heartwarming story. You get drawn in by these characters and their plan, and you get blown away by the twist. The cast is so good. They start by presenting the stereotypical red-neck characters, but then they go beyond to give you something more. Channing Tatum and Adam Driver are brilliant. I love Katie Holmes and Riley Keough. Farrah Mackenzie who plays Jimmy's daughter Sadie is an absolute

scene stealer. Then there's Daniel Craig who steals the whole show. This character is such a juxtaposition from what we're used to seeing him play. It is hard to even imagine him as this redneck bank robber, but of course Joe Bang isn't just a redneck bank robber. Craig nails it. Lucky Logan isn't a laugh-out-loud comedy, or a high-intensity action film. It plays with your expectations and misconceptions, to give something different, unexpected and so much better. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Kingston Police celebrate youth initiative graduates

BY MANDY MARCINIAK

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for anything more out of this experience,â&#x20AC;? said Chad Cousins, 16, a recent graduate of the Kingston Policeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth in Policing Initiative Program (YIPI). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came into this wanting to be a police officer and it just heightened that desire for me and motivated me to keep going now.â&#x20AC;? YIPI is designed for youth ages 15 to 18 who are attending high school. The goal of the program is to give them an opportunity to develop job skills while enhancing police and community relations. On Aug. 30, community members and members of the Kingston Police Force gathered at police headquarters to celebrate this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we have had the pleasure of having a very well-rounded and great group as part of the

YIPI team,â&#x20AC;? said Const. Josh Connor, youth program officer with the Kingston Police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year the program seems to get better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we went from a program with two youth to four this year, and every year we are increasing in applications, and the calibre of candidates keeps going up too.â&#x20AC;? This year, 125 applicants applied for four positions. Jocelyn Miles, 16, was excited that she was accepted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be a police officer when I am older and I thought this was such a great opportunity,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole experience was so rewarding and I loved working with the other youth and Josh. It has been a great summer.â&#x20AC;? Since July 11, the YIPI participants worked 40 hours a week under Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supervision and participated in the Youth Police Academy, Camping with Cops, Kingston Police Market Square Kids Day, the Show N Shine, Taste of Kingston, the

Princess St. Promenade and many more community events. For Cousins, the highlight of the summer was camping, but he also enjoyed getting to know the officers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole thing is about humanizing the badge and that is what we were helping them achieve and getting youth used to being around offi cers and making them less scared of them,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It did that for us, too. It used to be really intimidating being around the officers and now I see how friendly they all are and they are really the nicest people.â&#x20AC;? For Miles, the community events were also a highlight, but she also really appreciated the life

skills she learned throughout the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The leadership skills are really important and that is one of the main things I will take away from this experience,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned about confidence and responsibility, and I also learned that pursuing policing is really important to me. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Both Cousins and Miles plan to attend university or college for criminology, and hope to return to the Kingston police force one day. They also encourage other students to take part in the YIPI program if they have the opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such an amazing opportunity for youth to become comfortable with the police and learn more about them,â&#x20AC;? said Cousins. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just really rewarding.â&#x20AC;?

Kingston Police celebrated the latest graduates from their Youth in Policing Initiative Program on Aug. 30. Left to right: Deputy McNeely, Gabrielle Kolotinsky, Chad Cousins, Mayor Bryan Paterson, MPP Sophie Kiwala, Caitlin Grundy, Jocelyn Miles and Chief Larochelle. Mandy Marciniak/Metroland

Who would have thought that a simple statue of a young girl could catalyze as much controversy as Fearless Girl has? The bronze sculpture by Kristen Visbal, installed on March 7 of this year, faces the Charging Bull statue in Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Financial District. Little did this inspirational statue know that she would be facing down more than just a charging bull. Alongside the controversy, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become so popular that the site where she stands feels like the end point of a religious pilgrimage for many whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to know her. Originally slated for a one week exhibition, Fearless Girl is now scheduled to stay in place until February 2018. There are efforts under way to make Fearless Girl a permanent fixture. Fearless Girl was commissioned by State Street Global Advisors in an effort to emphasize the power of women in business. The commission requested the creation of a girl with hands on hips and chin up. The selected artist, Kristen Visbal, created a sculpture of a young Latina

girlâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;young and confident. My most recent trip to the location was with some regret. I had not anticipated the immensity of the crowd. I sometimes forget that New York City is not only one of the greatest cultural centres of the world; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a tourist centre that draws people from around the globe, and August is one of the worst times to go. It felt like every tourist in the country was there, and, unfortunately, they all descended on Fearless Girl on the same afternoon. At times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at the location and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple to get a photo with no gawkers around, but on the recent August evening when I visited, hoping to create some images with members of the Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project, we could barely move and had to shoulder our way in, just to see Fearless Girl. It felt like the crowd was a jammed pack container of gummy candies, all sticky from the heat, and with nowhere to turn. It's safe to say that Fearless Girl has gained a following. I love the positioning of the girl facing the bull, fearless in relation to the much larger structure. The commission of the statue was opened to female sculptors only, and was intentionally planned for installation in time for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in March. A plaque in front of Fearless Girl states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Know the power of women in leadership: SHE makes a difference.â&#x20AC;?

Kingston Heritage - Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - 21

Fearless Girl: Girl power creates controversy â&#x20AC;&#x153;SHEâ&#x20AC;? is a clever word play in reference to The Gender Index SHE, which was created by State Street Global Advisors to track the gender diversity of companies. Fearless Girl has also attracted haters. Even the creator of Charging Bull got in on the media attention, claiming Fearless Girls violates his rights. Arturo Di Modica welded the 7000-pound bronze bull and then installed it, in view of the New York Stock Exchange, without a permit, in the darkness of the wee hours of the morning on Dec. 15, 1989. On his own website, he describes how he had timed police patrols and knew how long he had to place the statue (less than five minutes) without being caught. He claims he put it there for art, a symbol of prosperity. Di Modica complains that Fearless Girl was placed without his approval. Seriously? Di Modica originally placed Charging Bull in the middle of the night with no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval. On public property. With painstaking efforts to avoid the police. Continued on page 22

“[Fearless Girl] gripped the world’s attention, and it will do so for years to come. Its simplicity in the use of symbolism transcends geography, it transcends language, it transcends culture. For us, while it is a girl, it elegantly captures women’s journeys and our path to empowerment. And it also encapsulates our hopes and our ambitions for every little girl in the world.”

To me, that is the most honest and accurate description of this brilliant work of art. Is it also advertising? If so, it’s achieved something many attempt and most fail: creating a perfect blend of art, advertising, and a social statement. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

service to the Kingston community, and this fall they are hoping to recruit some new volunteer board members. “This is something new for us to try in terms of reaching further out into the community,” said board member and volunteer Jen-

nifer Wilson. “We really want our board to be a little more diverse and representative of the women we serve in our community.” Since 1975, Kingston Interval Wilson has been a member of House has been providing services the board of directors at Interval to women experiencing abuse and House for three and a half years. their children. The not-for-profit She joined, like so many others, organization provides an essential with a desire to give back to the community and help others. She knows that serving on a board can be a bit intimidating for community members, but she feels that most of that comes from people not understanding what it is that they do. “There are lots of different boards for nonprofits, but we are a governance policy board and we are not involved in the day-today activities,” she explained. “We support the executive director, and our role is to establish the policies for the board and for the organization. We also do a lot of committee work in terms of financing, fundraising and outreach.” In an effort to help people better understand what the board of directors at Interval House does, the organization will be holding information sessions for those inMembers of the board of directors at Kingston Interval House, Jennifer Wilson and Chao Xue. The board is currently looking to recruit new terested in applying. The sessions are informal and Wilson hopes to volunteer board members and they will be holding an information see people who may be interested session for those interested on Sept. 7. but aren’t sure if it is for them.

“If someone was more tentative, they may be more inclined to come out and ask a few questions,” she said. “We know that joining a board isn’t for everyone, and this will allow people to better understand what we do before applying.” Board member Chao Xue said she would have benefited from a similar information session; when she joined the board a few years ago, she was worried that she wouldn’t have the proper knowledge to serve. But now, she works on the financial committee and enjoys participating wherever she can. “It is such a great group and I have learned so much,” she said. “I really enjoy giving back in this way, and I think more people should do the same.” In terms of diversity, Wilson hopes that this process will attract board members from a variety of backgrounds and maybe even community members that have used Kingston Interval House in the past. “When we think about a lot of boards in communities, often they don’t necessarily represent the women that are being served by the agency,” she said. “Interval House is serving more Indigenous

women and more racialized women now and more women who are Muslim, and we’d really like to see those backgrounds represented on the board, too.” There are no specific qualifications necessary to serve on the board in terms of education or skills, but Wilson hopes potential members will share some of their background in the application. “We want to know a bit about them and we are looking for an interest in supporting the work of the agency,” she said. “A little bit of an understanding of what we do in terms of anti-violence and what that means is also important, but really, we want women who just want to give back and help others.” Those interested are asked to forward a letter of interest via email to info@kingstonintervalhouse.com outlining background, skills and reason for applying, along with a resume, to the attention of the board of director nominating committee by Sept. 13 at midnight. There will also be a community information session on Thursday, Sept. 7, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., at the HARS office, 844 Princess St., Suite A.

Kingston Interval House seeking new volunteer board members

For Kingston native Adam Allore, boating has always been a passion. The KCVI and Queen’s graduate grew up exploring the St. Lawrence River, but as he got older and wanted to explore new waterways, he realized it wasn’t as easy as it looked.

“Anytime I was going outside of my boating comfort zone, I was grabbing paper nautical charts and heading out with Google Maps on my phone too,” he explained. “I would try and navigate and see if I was going to run into any trouble in terms of depth and it kind of made an experience that should be enjoyable and easy much more difficult and stressful.”

Allore figured there had to be an easier solution and he asked friends who also enjoy boating what they do. They directed him to a variety of navigational systems and apps to try. “The apps simply take the paper charts that I was using and put it on a digital display and it wasn’t really helpful,” he said. “I found that the channel markers that I saw

on the maps didn’t match the ones on the water and it just wasn’t intuitive at all.” Out of frustration, Allore, a mechanical engineer, decided to work towards creating his own app to help him navigate better.

I just want to make getting from point A to point B on the water as simple and easy as it is on land.” ADAM ALLORE

Adam Allore is the creator of Wavve Boating Inc and a new navigational app. Right: How waterways appear in the Wavve navigational app.

“I had never done anything like that, but I was willing to give it a try,” he said. “In my time at university I worked on projects where we were trying to build things from scratch and learn by doing and I think that sort of experience helped with this project.” Earlier this year, Allore launched Wavve Boating Inc. and a specialized navigation app that he hopes will help fill a gap in the boating industry. “ I wanted something that could be really helpful and simple and I think we have achieved that,” he said. The app offers three key features - customized charts, easy-to-use navigation, and community-generated map pins. “We take nautical charts and we actually update them to the users and their boat,” he explained.

formation and tips. “Information that is not readily available like points of interest, mooring locations, fishing holes, boat ramps and things like that,” he said. “Boaters can make the information private or share it.” Response to the app has been very positive so far and Allore has been testing Wavve with 40 boaters for the past few months. They have been offering feedback and just recently, the app officially launched in the Apple Store. “It is getting a lot of traction now,” he said. Later this month, Allore will also take the app to the Newport International Boat Show in Rhode Island as an officially promoted new product.

“It is really exciting,” he said. “ I just want to make getting from point A to point B on the water as simple and easy as it is on land.” The app is subscription based and costs 99 cents a month, but users also have the option of a 14-day free trial and they can cancel at any time. “I want people to use it because it is useful to them,” he said. “It is really for the recreational boater that doesn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a navigation system and they just want to enjoy their time with their family. I hope it serves that purpose.” For more information, visit www.wavve. ca or look fro them on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter or in the App Store.

How to get and keep your fi nances in orde In 2015, analysts with the Government Accountability Office found that the average American between the ages of 55 and 64 had accrued roughly $104,000 in retirement savings, a shockingly low fi gure that would make it very diffi cult for men and women nearing retirement to maintain their quality of life into their golden years. Things don’t look much better north of the border, where the 2015 Global Investor Pulse Survey from the asset management fi rm BlackRock found that the average Canadian in the same age group had amassed an average of just $125,000. While many people fear retiring with small nest eggs, that fear has apparently not been enough to inspire men and women to commit to saving more money for their golden years. But retirement saving is essential, especially since life expectancies are rising. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, global life expectancies at birth are expected to rise to 76 years by the mid-21st century. That’s a far cry from the mid-20th century, when global life expectancy from birth was roughly 48 years. Longer life expectancies mean men and women will have to find ways to make their money last throughout their retirement. The earlier adults figure out how to keep their fi nances in order, the more money they will have when the time comes to retire. The following are a handful of strategies men and 2

women can employ to rein in their fi nances in the hopes of saving more for retirement. • Review your fi nances at least once per month. Hectic schedules or fear of the fi nancial unknown make it easy for adults to ignore their fi nances for long stretches of time. But adults should review their fi nancial situation at least once per month, examining how they are spending their money and if there are any ways to cut costs and redirect dollars going out into their retirement accounts. Redirecting as little as $100 per month into a retirement account can add up to a substantial amount of money over time. • Pay monthly bills immediately. Many adults receive monthly bills for utilities, rent/mortgage, phone, and television/Internet. If you have the money in your account, pay these bills the moment you receive them. Doing so is a great way to avoid overspending on other items, such as dining out or shopping trips, and then finding yourself scrambling to pay bills come their due dates. Once all the monthly bills have been paid and you have deposited money into your savings/ retirement accounts, then you can spend any leftover money on nights out on the town or new clothes if you feel the need. • Buy only what you can afford. It sounds simple, but many adults would have far more in their retirement accounts if they simply avoided buying items they cannot afford. According to a 2015

Kingston Homefinder.ca - Wednesday, September 6, 2017

Harris Poll conducted on behalf of NerdWallet, the average credit card debt per indebted American household in 2015 was $15,762.07. Adults who want to get their fi nances in order and start saving more for retirement should put the plastic away and only make purchases with cash or debit cards that take money directly out of

their bank accounts once the card is swiped. • Downsize. Downsizing is another way to free up more money for retirement savings. Empty nesters can save money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment. Drivers who no longer need room for the whole family can downsize from SUVs or minivans to smaller, more fuel-

effi cient vehicles. Adults also may be able to downsize their entertainment, switching from costly cable packages to basic plans or cutting the cord entirely and subscribing to more affordable streaming services. Getting a grip on spending can help adults save more for retirement and ensure their golden years are not compromised by lack of funds.

Making a family move easier Whether or not to relocate can be a difficult decision. Sometimes such decisions are borne out of necessity when a parent is relocated by his or her company. Other times it is a personal reason to try out a new neighborhood or upgrade to a larger home. Whatever the reason is behind a move, it can take some time to adjust to both the idea of moving and the new living space — especially for children who may seem disconnected from the decision. The following tips can make the transition a little easier for families. Talk about it Do not blindside children with a move. Begin having conversations as a family as soon as the possibility of moving arises. Involve the children in some of the decisions. Ask about the features they want to see in their new home. Explain that people, be it prospective buyers, real estate agents or movers, will be visiting your current home and that this may be a little disruptive. Talk about the reasons for the move, such as a new job or that the family has outgrown the space. Kids can process much more than many adults give them credit for.

these the first items that are unpacked upon moving into the new house. Use the agent as a resource Many real estate agents live in the towns where they make their living. Find out if the agent can set up a meet-and-greet or if he or she knows of any clubs or leagues that suit your family’s interests. Making a few introductions ahead of time will give children and adults some familiar faces on their first days in their new home. Families shouldn’t shy away from making their own introductions as well. Knocking on a few neighbors’ doors and letting them know a new family is coming to the street can pave the way for familiarity and friendships. Stay in touch Encourage children to stay in touch with their current friends. Video chat enables kids to see and speak with peers. When things settle after the move, arrange for a surprise play date where children can introduce their old friends to newer ones.

Discuss any concerns Children may have concerns about the move that differ from adults’. Many of these may pertain to fears about making new friends or coursework at a new school. Let them voice their opinions. Removing some of the mysteries by visiting schools or local hangouts before the move is made can assuage some fears.

Stick to a routine One of the ways to breed familiarity is to stick to the same routine. If a big Sunday family dinner was the norm, continue the tradition in your new home. Wake in the morning and go to bed at the same time. According to Vanessa Lapointe, a registered psychologist in Surrey, British Columbia, structure and routine are key for children. Try to focus on one new thing at a time to minimize stress.

Create some familiarity Set aside boxes or bins that will house kids’ toys or things that the family recognizes. These may include photographs, games, throw blankets, or the creature comforts of home. Make

Moving can be exciting and scary at the same time. Children may be anxious about the process, but families can work together to iron out the kinks and settle into their news homes successfully. Kingston Homefinder.ca - Wednesday, September 6, 2017
