Downtown’s tallest building project unveiled at dry dock site

BY BILL HUTCHINS

Kingstonians flock to fall fair Tens of thousands of people flocked to the Memorial Centre for the 187th Kingston Fall Fair Sept. 14 - 17. The weather gods smiled on this year's fair, with beautiful, sunny late summer weather for the duration of the event, which included everything from agricultural shows to demolition derbies to the ever-popular midway. New to the fair this year was a Moto-Cross Thrill Show, as well as sheep shearing, wool-spinning, knitting and embroidery demonstrations, which in some cases allowed fair-goers to take part.

A bold proposal to construct a 20 storey highrise on the historic Dry Dock property at 55 Ontario St. is set to have its first public airing.

Developer Jay Patry purchased the 1.7 hectare waterfront property last year after it was declared surplus by the federal government. The former tenant, Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, has already vacated the site.

Patry Inc. Developments has unveiled plans to build on two parcels of land located on opposite sides of the dry dock.

The 20 floor building — with 292 one and two bedroom units — would be constructed at the end of the Union Street wharf, with an adjacent five storey parking podium for 310 parking spaces. If ap-

“The tower portion of at Writersfest, Page 21 the building will be oriented toward the end of the wharf and will be 20 storeys plus mechanical, having a maximum height of 73 metres (including mechanical),” according to a planning design study by IBI Group on behalf of the developer.

In addition, a smaller scale “adaptive reuse” is planned for the Pump House and Dry Dock, the marine museum’s former home and a designated National Historic Site, to allow mixed uses such as retail, restaurants and a possible museum.

“The two properties will be redeveloped in a holistic fashion and will also incorporate the historic Kingston Dry Dock, connections of the Waterfront Pathway and programmed waterfront park space,” according to the IBI study.

While no development is planned over the actual dry dock, opened by Sir John A. Macdonald in the 1890s, IBI says the intent is to allow greater public access to the area.

“A ‘beach’ and stepped seating that can be used for flexible recreation space is proposed to bring site users in closer contact with the original limestone structure and the water.”

The city is being asked to approve a raft of Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendments to allow a 20 storey building in a zone where the maximum height is two storeys, residential uses, plus a mix of commercial and community uses in the existing Pump House building.

The development also includes a continuous three-metre wide waterfront pathway, and some of it could be deeded to the city as part of a ‘community benefit’ contribution, in exchange for greater height and density. Other community

benefits could include additional parkland, rental housing, museum and community space, allowing the deep water dock to welcome cruise ships and streetscape improvements along Lower Union Street, according to documents submitted by the developer.

But the site also faces environmental hurdles. There is extensive contamination due to its historic industrial uses.

The developer is asking the city to include the Dry Dock property on its list of brownfield sites in order to qualify for property tax relief to help pay for the cleanup and risk management.

Councillors had earlier declined an opportunity to purchase the site due to the environmental liabilities attached to it. City staff estimated to cost of undertaking building repairs and on-site remediation to be as high as $19 million.

A recent environmental site assessment identified 32 areas of potential concern and two areas of actual concern in the soil and groundwater, including petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals and other contaminants. These would have to be cleaned up at the developer’s own cost if the city refuses brownfield support.

Overall, the IBI study submitted to city planners supports the downtown intensification project.

“We are of the view that the proposed development is of a type and design that will complement the built form of the area while respecting the cultural and built heritage resources of the site.”

The highrise project will be the focus of a

The sprawling provincially-owned land on King Street West near Portsmouth Avenue is poised to get much more than a new hospital.

City councillors have signed off on a new framework for 752 King St. W., known as the Kingston Provincial Campus, to allow for the future construction of hundreds of housing units and commercial activity along the northern and eastern boundaries of the scenic property.

“It’s a great infill site, but it has to be sensitive and compatible with what’s around it,” explained Marnie Venditti, a senior municipal planner who has worked on this file since 2009.

So far, however, the province has not unveiled any development plans for the 49-hectare (122-acre) waterfront lands bounded by King Street West to the north, Lake Ontario Park to the west and Portsmouth Village to the east.

“We don’t have any indication in terms of timing,” said Venditti.

A timeline for development of the housing blocks will depend on market demand, water and sewer servicing capacity and further subdivision and zoning approvals from council.

But she says the new secondary plan framework — offering greater development details to support the official plan for this

area — does lay much of the groundwork for development on vacant portions. It was approved by council on Sept. 5.

“It allows for the potential of mixed use development in the northwest portion of the site adjacent to Lake Ontario Park area along King Street West, and low and medium density housing along the eastern portion adjacent to Portsmouth Village,” Venditti added.

The housing could range from two storey townhouses to eight storey apartments — enough room for over 500 residential units.

At least 25 per cent of future units will be earmarked for affordable housing.

Venditti says the terms of development will ensure the cultural heritage that currently exists on the site is not removed or reduced, such as Beechgrove complex, Rockwood Villa, Penrose Asylum and other vacant or occupied 19th-century historic buildings, along with rolling green space and panoramic lake views. “So the heritage buildings are protected through the new policy framework more so than they are today.”

But the government has long-term plans for the edges of the property: the spacious front lawn facing King Street West and the eastern perimeter that borders Portsmouth Village.

Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation says the addition of future housing will help the city’s goal of urban intensification without impeding access to the

plications so there will be further public processes.”

Much of the front lawn site remains a construction zone as crews finish demolition of the 1960s-era psychiatric hospital to make room for a spacious parking lot for staff, visitors and patients of the new Providence Care hospital.

Adding a residential/commercial component to the Provincial Campus will also remove part of it from tax-exempt status, allowing the city to collect property taxes from future development.

waterfront or eroding the property’s heritage charm. “Overall, the plan ensures the preservation of history and natural areas without compromising the site’s potential to add employment and housing as well as institutional space to the city.”

Venditti says city planners support the vision, adding there will be future opportunities for public input once specific development applications come forward. “There’s a lot of land on that site that has potential for development. Each of the blocks will be subject to future subdivision and zoning ap-

Beyond that, agencies, boards and other municipal organizations, plus third party organizations, will have to go through an application process to request illumination with select colours for one night only from dusk until dawn.

Examples of third party requests include Queen’s homecoming, Autism Ontario, antibullying day, environment day, commuter challenge and the Frontenacs in the playoffs. There are many other dates that could also qualify for lighting to coincide with events such as St. Patrick’s Day, Feb Fest, Buskers, Bluesfest, Santa Parade and Canadian Forces Day.

written justification and the type of colours to be used. Applications competing for the same day will be determined on a first come, first served basis.

Officials say they will not consider requests that denigrate religious, political or other beliefs, promote hate, or those intended for profit-making purposes.

The protocol would also exclude spontaneous requests to light up city hall based on a world event or natural disaster. However, it appears council could still make exceptions.

The guidelines are based on recent consultation and a public survey that found 78 per cent want the area illuminated as often as possible, 95 per cent want city hall illuminated on nationally-recognized holidays and days of observance, and nearly 80 per cent support illuminating city hall for programs and events significant to the Kingston community.

City Hall’s Ontario Street facade will continue to be washed in white lights on most other nights.

Nearly 60 low energy LEDs were installed around city hall, each with built in receivers that can be programmed to showcase a variety of colours and lighting intensity, plus projectors that can flash multiple images on the surface of the historic 1840s building and square.

Organizers of Bath Tall Ships event take issue with 'negative' staffreport an oil or gas spill in the water and it got into the intake, we would have had a real problem on our hands.”

For their part, organizers of the event deny that this was ever at Loyalist Township is asking that protocol surrounding events an issue and in an email to the Heritage president of the Fairfieldlike this change in the future.

“What prompted the report was after the event, as the report Gutzeit Society, William Hineman, stated that “no fuel was aloutlines, there were a number of things that occurred that were lowed on docks or barges. When barges arrived they had fuel canof great concern to many departments in the township,” said Bob isters on them, which were immediately removed. Even the fuel in Maddocks, chief administrative offi cer for Loyalist Township. the compressor on the barges was removed upon arrival.”

Hineman also states that the township has a report which firmly “We felt that we needed to bring this to the attention of council with a recommendation that we need to have a system in place, as states the existing water intake system must be extended to a depth is very common in most other municipalities, where there is some of 35 feet and not the 12 feet of water it presently draws from.

Maddocks says he wasn’t aware of any issue with the depth of the sort of permitting or festival licence process.”

In the report, township staff states that traffic control was a intake.

“It is where it is and what it is,” he said. “I am told that to modify it concern, as well as security, public safety, parking and first aid. But the major concern for the weekend was the safety of the drinking is not an easy thing to do. For reasons unbeknownst to my staff and myself, the decision was made to put the intake there and the agencies water in the township.

“The intake, for whatever reason, is right by where the docks at hand must have approved them. I wish it was somewhere else, are and from day one, when we heard about this event, we notified but it is not.”

event that organizers view as widely successful.

“There seems to be an adversary behaviour on the township's part with the organizers of an event which has been praised by everyone involved,” he said.

“The event put Loyalist Township of the world map as it was the third largest and most complimented event in Canada out of 30-plus Canadian ports.”

According to Hineman, the event brought $4 million dollars in economic spin off to the municipality.

Maddocks says he agrees that the event was successful, but he thinks it could have been more successful in terms of public safety.

“There were a number of our interests that were placed in jeopardy that we were very concerned about and we want to ensure events don’t do that,” said Maddocks. “That is the responsibility of the township — the water and sewer systems are our responsibility, the safe and clear operation of our roads and the accessibility for emergency services is all our responsibility, and if we had been unable to deliver those services because of this event, it wouldn’t have mattered how successful it was.”

Maddocks and his staff are asking that council direct staff to develop a special events bylaw for future events of this kind.

tem where organizers would come in and make an application and we would ensure that the agencies that need to know about it do.”

Hineman views the report and the notions it puts forward as something negative in the township and in his comments he stated that he feels it is time for a change within the local government in the township.

“I personally believe it is time for a change and a purging of staff who

put forward this negative attitude,” he said. “I will be following up with the Ministry of Environment concerning the dangerous situation of the existing water intake pipe. I will also be actively forming a group of concerned citizens to change the existing representation on council in order to weed out the staff members who are part of the problem.”

about the proposed bylaw and he is anxious to hear more from stakeholders and organizers.

“I would like to make sure they understand why we are doing this and what we are doing,” he said. “We want to help them, and up to now we have sat with organizers on occasion and lent hands and contributed in terms of in kind assistance, and this is something that will formalize what we have done in the past.”

laws have changed and if the water supply is contaminated or compromised, the councillor is held personally responsible,” he said. “They can’t slough it off to staff — they are personally liable. That is a big issue and that intake area was dangerous.”

For his part, Daniliunas is unclear on whether or not there has been talk about relocating the intake for the water system or modifying it to a deeper level, something William Hineman, president of the Fairfi eld Gutzeit Society, stated was part of a consultants' report.

“I don’t remember the consultants' report, but I will go back and take a look at it,” he said. “We had looked at it one year when the lake was low and I don’t remember what the decision was, but I will have to look into it.”

Daniliunas views the report made by staff and the proposed events bylaw as a positive step toward better planning and safety for events like this in the future, and he hopes that organizers can see that and they stop taking it personally.

“With everything I know about council and everything I know about staff, this is not any kind of vendetta,” he said.

“They are serious people with a lot of integrity who want to do the right things. They are as objective as possible.”

He also hopes that Hine-

man’s views on council and his personal feelings don’t interfere with the Fairfield-Gutzeit Society going forward.

“It is illegal, to my understanding, to play partisan politics if you are a charitable institution under CRA rules, and I just hope they are not jeopardizing the charitable status of the Fairfield-Gutzeit Society by participating in partisan politics.”

Daniliunas also pointed out that many other large events in the township haven’t had an issue and organizers have no problem working with council on those events.

“The Canada Day parade is just as big and it runs perfectly and even the Mackinnon Brothers Festival, they come to council and ask us,” he said.

“They are approaching it well.

Fairfi eld-Gutzeit has never involved council, to my knowledge — I’ve never received a call.”

Overall, Daniliunas hopes that these issues can be resolved easily and that organizations in the community can see that it is in their best interest for a bylaw to be created to help sanction these events going forward.

“You wish there could be a better collaboration and that is what we are trying to do,” he said. “It is risk management too. To me, that is the professional way to handle things.”

Let's come together and help Cuba in their time of need The Canada Cuba Friendship Association (Kingston) is donating $1,000 tohurricane relief for Cuba and is urging others to donate as well.

As the readers are sure to know, Cuba took the brunt of Hurricane Irma as a level five storm. The damage was extensive across the whole north coast, with fl ooding of Havana and other cities and widespread destruction of crops, buildings and infrastructure.

Cuba historically has few deaths during catastrophic weather events because of advanced preparations and dedicated support to those threatened. The fact that there were 11 deaths reflects the unprecedented destructiveness of Hurricane Irma.

As is also well known, Cuba is of-

Now it's our turn to help Cuba.

Many nations are dedicating resources to help those to which they have ties. The United States is mobilizing its wealth to help its citizens.

Cuba, one of the worst hit nations, needs a similar response.

Canada should be prominent in offering such assistance.

We citizens have a role to play.

Many of us have enjoyed the beaches and hospitality of Cuba. We have sought low cost vacations in a setting that was secure and friendly.

In Our Opinion

When is the right time to talk about climate change? All the time This week, when questioned by reporters if he believed that the unprecedented storms visiting the United States had anything to do with climate change, anti-EPA EPA administrator Scott Pruitt had the following to say: “To have any kind of focus on the cause and effect of the storm; versus helping people, or actually facing the effect of the storm, is misplaced.�

While we can certainly all agree that we need to help people, we also believe it is possible to simultaneously discuss how these catastrophic weather events might also be related to the global environmental issue of our life and times.

Sadly, we’ve seen this kind of rhetorical deflection deployed by those in power all too often. Indeed, the logic most closely resembles the strategies employed in the aftermath of horrific mass shootings, when it is often asked if legislation should be drafted to limit the availability of semi-automatic assault rifles and their large capacity magazines for ammunition.

The end result is always the same: debate gets snuffed out in the cradle, and the world moves on to the next preventable tragedy.

It isn’t hard to figure out why this might be. In the U.S., The Republican Party’s donor class has made it perfectly clear that when it comes to both guns and climate change, there can be no dissension in the ranks, or the purse strings get cut. Now, unshackled by the Supreme Court’s Citizen’s United decision, mega donors such as the Koch Brothers pump unlimited dollars in political campaigns across the United States.

But even money has its limits. You can’t buy everyone’s vote, especially when your home is under water, and your insurance won’t pay. What’s the old saying? You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time? We’re believe we are rapidly coming to a point where people across North America and the world are going to start demanding action. Just this last March, a 17 member block of upstart Republicans, including three from Florida, produced a climate change resolution indicating a strong support for climate science, a promise to study it’s impacts, and develop solutions.

Here in Canada, most politicians do acknowledge the urgency of the threat caused by climate change, however that doesn’t mean citizens should not be just as engaged.

Let’s make sure we elect representatives who respect science, and make the environment and combating climate change a priority. And let’s encourage our neighbours to the south and all countries of the world do the same.

A special thank you to a local police officer I would like to extend my thanks to the officer, [PC Martin], that attended my brother's house [on Thursday, Sept. 14]. I truly hope that this message finds the kind caring officer that made my family feel safe.

I'm sure the incident was quite small on the scale of what he deals with daily, however I do know, that the incident was quite significant in both my five-year-old niece's life as well as my mothers.

My mom contacted the Kingston Police regarding what she thought was a prowler outside of the home when she heard repeated knocking on the exterior door. KPF quickly transferred her to OPP dispatch and the officer responded quickly to their rural location. Upon arrival, my mother explained she had since discovered that it was in fact my five-year-old niece that had been knocking

on the exterior door. She was so scared and hiding in the closet, in her bedroom, when the officer arrived.

His calm, gentle demeanour explaining that he was her friend and there to keep her safe put her immediately at ease. He explained the importance of listening to grandma, and told her to remember to do the things asked of her because it is important to make sure she stays safe. He also praised my mother for her quick thinking and not opening the door.

All too often society today is quick to point out the negative, and the great job officers do daily goes without recognition. Well done South Frontenac OPP! Ontario Provincial Police - Police provinciale de l’Ontario.

Thanks again!

Pet waste and what people do with it a concern in Kingston I was walking on Cloverleaf Drive in Kingston near the bus stop across from No Frills grocery store. I saw pet waste in bags on the sidewalk next to the bus stop garbage pail. The refuse container had signage clearly marked 'no pet waste' on the receptacle. Incredible that people, having read it, would just drop it there on the sidewalk. Can you believe it? They had the sensibility to pick up their pet waste in a bag. But the insensibility of not taking it home to dispose of properly, boggles my mind.

So I think that if the city doesn't want pet waste in their bus stop receptacles they should change the wording to something like' no pet waste...take it home with you and dispose' .

If people are taking the time to read the signage, then maybe they will clue-in and do the responsible thing and not simply drop it on the sidewalk.

We take action by: • taking a stand on important cancer issues With the support of our generous donors, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has invested more than $50 million in research to help children fight and survive cancer over the last 15 years.

Dr Sumit Gupta from The Hospital for Sick Children was awarded a CCS Quality of Life Research Grant in 2016.

Currently Dr. Gupta is looking into the risk of mental health side effects as a result of childhood cancer.

With the support of a CCS Prevention Research Grant awarded in 2014, Dr Rod Bremner from Mount Sinai Hospital is looking into preventing cancers caused by a defective gene.

Some genes, known as tumour suppressors, play an important role in preventing cancer. When these tumour suppressor genes are defective, cancer can grow. RB1 is one of these genes – in nearly all cancers, RB1 is defective. Infants with It’s devastating to learn that your child has been this defective gene are prone to an eye cancer diagnosed with cancer. Cancer affects both the child called retinoblastoma, and many other cancers and their family. Little is known about the long term later in life. Dr Bremner has identified drugs that impact of childhood cancer on the mental health of counteract the cancer causing proteins that take survivors and their families. Dr. Gupta is examining advantage of defective RB1. He has developed an Ontario health records to assess whether childhood eyedrop to optimize drug delivery. His ongoing cancer survivors, their mothers and their siblings are research is testing whether this eyedrop can block more likely to experience mental health issues as the development of retinoblastoma. Given the adults, compared to the public. This work may identify widespread importance of RB1, this research could groups of people at risk for mental health challenges lead to ways to prevent many other types of cancer. and can inform the design of resources to help.

What’s the long term plan for the city’s new $6.2M parking lot?

It was 22 years ago that a private landowner fought city hall, and lost, in its zoning bid for a 14-storey building on prime downtown land.

Arnon Corporation went to the Ontario Municipal Board to fight the city’s attempt to uphold its official plan, which at that

time limited zoning to five or six storeys in the parking lot across from city hall at Brock and Ontario Streets. But the board sided with the council of the day, saying the extra height would overshadow the downtown’s heritage.

Councillors were skittish about allowing any large-scale development so close to the historic seat of local government. It would be like putting up a highrise next to the Parliament buildings.

Some of those councillors also longed for the chance to own the same property so they could expand the municipal government to cope with a bulging bureaucracy. There was even talk of building a tunnel under Brock

Street to connect city hall with a new building. But, at the time, their talk was cheap.

The old city was broke and could hardly afford to shell out millions for property.

Even with the mid-rise zoning approved, nothing ever happened with the property and it remained a privately-owned surface parking lot.

Fast-forward two decades and the city has completed its longtime wish of acquiring the site known as 27 Brock St. and 3840 Princess St. for the sum of $6.2 million from Arnon of Ottawa. The city dipped into its parking reserve fund (not the general tax base), which is constantly replenished through parking rates and fines, to finance the deal.

Though the property that fronts onto three key streets wasn’t listed for sale, said the mayor, officials quietly inquired about buying it and the two sides obviously settled on a price which was disclosed to the public earlier this month.

The question now is, what does the city intend to do with its $6.2 million parking lot?

The need to expand municipal office space has eased greatly since the ’90s with the purchase of the British Whig building, the creation of a Utilities Kingston hub on John Counter Boulevard and the construction of a new public works building on Division Street — those three projects alone costing tens of millions of dollars.

Mayor Bryan Paterson suggested that it’s status quo on the parking lot for now, adding the flow of regular parking revenues

generated from the busy lot will more than cover the purchase price. (It’s still unclear whether the city will leave the privately-set higher parking rates in place). The longterm land use remains a mystery.

The mayor indicated that more welcome parking spaces could be added in the future in a parking structure that’s housed beneath a building or two. Could the city allow a private developer to provide financing for such a venture where the builder gets office space in exchange for a privately-funded parking structure? Or should the prime corner lot be transformed into a new public square or park space?

The answers are difficult to get because, frankly, municipal officials don’t seem to have a clear vision for the property they so eagerly wanted. Or, if they do, they’re not sharing it with the public.

Paterson did make one thing clear; it’s the last undeveloped land in the vicinity of Market Square and city hall. To put the significance of this purchase into perspective — this lot covers about the same area as city hall and Market Square.

The city now owns it which, long term, was probably a smart move. Ownership means control over how it is or isn’t developed.

While there may be no need to rush the site’s development, officials should put their brand new public-consultation strategy into action by letting residents have a say in what it could be used for.

And, who knows, city hall may get its Brock Street tunnel after all.

Frontenac Islands — small community, big issues

BY MARGARET KNOTT

What a month it’s been! What a summer, really. Even without Big Sandy Bay open, people have sailed over to Wolfe Island in great number and enjoyed all the island has to offer. And it was good. Now as fall is upon us, the realities of Public Work manager Rob Dillabough’s “To do“ list, for Wolfe and Howe Island, confronts the township.

All of those, as well as the ongoing Ferry EA ferry study, are big-time issues for a small municipality and weigh heavily on our elected representatives.

CAG meeting: The Ministry of Transportation and Morrison Hershfi eld study team held a last community advisory group (CAG) meeting on

Wolfe Island, to review what had been presented at the recent open houses with regard to the environmental assessment for the Wolfe Island Ferry and Docking Improvements study, and to receive the opinions of the members. They now have three preferred options for Marysville, Kingston, and Dawson Point, and are proceeding with the next steps of municipal, provincial and federal agency consultation. From those consultations they will prepare the Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) and, if accepted, they will prepare documents for tender issue for the rebuilding the three ferry docking terminals. They hope to achieve the TESR by year-end.

Concerns of the CAG members included:

truck turning in Marysville, lighting, the very long distances to walk in Marysville and Kingston to get to the ferry lineup, thus more vehicular traffic, and deep concern that there is no parking in Marysville or Kingston on the docks. Passenger building designs received criticism: too big, too far apart, too much window. As did the spit at Dawson Point: dangerous, as well as the need there for more security, telephone, cameras, etc. Also no docking spaces indicated for other boats that might come into Wolfe Island, Dawson Point, or Kingston was noted, as was the lack of a WI municipal boat launch. Also noted was that the plan does not include any improvements in Marysville, road, lights, parking, etc. All such were said to be instead the responsibility of the township!

MTO welcomes public input, and asks people to fi ll in a short survey as part of their ongoing operational study available at: https://www.survey-

monkey.com/r/PR6TZ3P Private Road Policies meeting: According to Frontenac County planner Joe Gallivan, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs determined that they would no longer approve any development of private roads. So to that end the county undertook a private roads (lanes) study, with regard to the continuation of possible development on such.

“Frontenac is waterfront development. Socially and economically it is part of who we are, and we wanted it to stay that way. The study has provided a series of legal and land use planning rules and tools for that purpose, as a way we could continue to have some kind of development on private lanes across the county,” Gallivan said.

He noted that in the last number of years there have been lot changes with cottages from seasonal to permanent residential, with building permits being given out in the townships. The consultant was required to produce draft OPA’s (Official Plan amendment) for the four townships including policies that deal with seasonal use private roads; road construction standards for extensions of existing private lanes; infilling and extension policies for new lots on existing lanes; and policies for the creation of new private lanes. It’s up to the county now. A major step forward.

Frontenac community planner Megan Rueckenwald provided some of the details, for example, that Frontenac Islands has 81 private lanes, 414 residential dwellings, 43.8 km of private roads, etc., as well as an overview of the proposed amendment and the “decision tree” that is to be used in the planning process for private roads.

Will all of this solve the problems the township has with some private roads now? Generally, no. A Q&A followed. All public comments from citizens will be considered, as will those at the Tuesday, Oct. 10, council meeting on Howe Island where Proposed Offi cial Plan Amendment Private Lane

Policies will also be presented, and considered for adoption. The proposed bylaw amendment is posted on the Frontenac County website under Planning at www.frontenaccounty.ca/ en/corpoate/StudiesProjects.asp. The regular September council meeting followed. Next week: council news Around Town: There was wonderful weather for the WI Plowing Match held at Morningsight Farms. Competitions have been held since 1947. And speaking of plowing matches, Hunter Chown won the youth championships for the second time at the Canadian Plowing Championships held in Walkerton.

Frustration with the ambulance service has been noted in the community.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of an incredible year in Kingston sports

BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

1967 is perhaps the most notable year on record as far as Kingston sports lore is concerned.

Not only did the Kingston Aces Senior A hockey team win the Ontario provincial championship, but so did the local Senior B Merchants and the newlyformed Kingston Centennials baseball team.

Ron Earl, who was 23 at the time, had the distinction of being on both the Aces and Centennials during the championship-winning year. He explains that the story is really quite remarkable, particularly as far as the ball team is concerned.

“There was the Kingston Baseball Association, the KBA, but it folded in ’66,” he explained. “So Bob Elliott Sr. and my father, Cliff Earl, got a bunch of players from all the teams that were in the KBA and formed the Kingston Centennials baseball team.

It was their first year playing together, and everything just clicked.

“The pretty amazing part was we had really never played together before, we’d played against each other,” Earl says. “They’d just started this team, and we ended up winning the Ontario championship.”

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, in December of ‘67 Earl had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel with the Aces hockey team to Davos, Switzerland, to participate in the Spengler Cup on the heels of the team’s provincial victory.

“Because the Aces won the Ontario championship, they got an invitation and accepted a three week tour of Europe. The Spengler Cup started in 1923 and in 1967 we were the first Canadian team that played in [the tournament].”

Continued from page 16

A couple of players on the 1967 Aces — Dennis Kearns and Syl Apps Jr. — went on to have long careers in the NHL, and the winning season remains a fond memory for

many of the players on the team and sports fans in the Limestone City.

Every few months, a large group of local old school athletes, friends and supporters meet up at Boston Pizza to ‘touch base’, and it occurred to them that 2017 marks the

50th anniversary of the remarkable year in Kingston sports.

So between Earl, Ted Walton, coach of the 1967 Kingston Senior B Merchants, and Bob Gilmour of the Centennials, they arranged a reunion at the Loyalist Golf Club, which took place on Saturday, Sept. 9; together, they hosted about 84 golfers, and 160 for the supper that followed.

Over the course of the evening, many fond stories were told and memories exchanged, but while it may be the athletes who typically get all the glory, Earl emphasized the importance of recognizing the volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make these teams and their success possible.

“It never would have happened if we

hadn’t had dedicated coaches and managers who spent all kinds of time and never got paid to do all of this. They organized things and raised money so the teams could operate.”

He mentioned Aces coach Major Danny McLeod, who also coached the RMC college hockey team, Ted Walton, the coach of the Senior B hockey champs, along with president Josh Nichols, as well as Bob Elliott Sr. and his own father, Cliff Earl, who were the managers of the ball team.

“They’re the ones who put all the time in and allowed the players to play,” Earl said.

Kingston Heritage - Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 18

Former gang leader who served time in Kingston shares what he learned behind bars in new memoir

Continued from page 18

Atkinson is hoping that by sharing his story now, he can deter some younger kids from thinking the same way and he can show them the reality they will face in prison.

"I have talked to many guys about this since and they said that had their been people around similar to me now then they would have had an alternative thinking pattern," he said. "I also thought that if I tell my story, I can never repeat that criminality because I am exposing myself to the public but also to other criminals and that leaves me vulnerable.

I knew that by writing the book I was ending a chapter in my life and moving on to another one and I could never go back."

Writing for the book began when Atkinson was still behind bars and he decided that he no longer wanted to pursue the criminal life. He started pursuing writing classes and working on his craft and although it was difficult, he kept going.

"It was really hard because I wrote it from a dark place and I couldn’t escape that dark place," he said. " It was 1,000 pages after I wrote it and it was kind of morbid and it took a long time to edit down. It was laborious and time consuming and I didn’t aspire to be a writer."

Now, Atkinson is promoting the book and touring to share his story. On Sept. 16 he returned to Kingston to promote his book at Chapters and he also hoped to simply talk to

NEWLYED EXPAND

people along the way.

"Because I have gone through all of this I am able to share my experiences and the mistakes of my past with people and hope they learn from it," he said.

The book has been praised by critics and Atkinson has received great feedback from family and friends too, and he is happy it has been so well-received.

"It makes me feel different and it makes me feel like the negativity of my past is in my past and my future can be more positive," he said. "I feel like I don’t have to feel sorry for myself because I did so much stupid stuff for so long and now I can concentrate on this positive stuff now."

Today, Atkinson teaches pottery classes for kids and he trains boxers. He gets fulfilment out of his daily activities and out of writing, and he isn't ruling out another book in the future.

"It runs through my mind all the time. I am immersed in boxing, but I am slowly suffering through parole and that isn’t easy. I feel like my next book may be about parole and all the restrictions that it places on you, but we'll see."

For now, he is just enjoying sharing his story and he is looking forward to returning to Kingston, or at least parts of it.

"I like Kingston, it is the retirement capital and I have my eye on the area," he said.

"I don’t like the penitentiaries, but I can deal with that from this side.

If you told Dennis Prescott that he would one day write a cookbook and then travel around promoting it, he wouldn't have believed you, but the musician turned food writer is doing just that.

On Sept. 27, he'll be in Kingston as part of Writersfest.

Prescott isn't your typical cookbook author; he stumbled upon cooking when he realized that, after years of touring with his band, he didn't know how to cook for himself.

"We toured around for 10 years in North America and Europe and we ate great food along the way, but when we settled in Nashville and didn't have much money I couldn't afford that food anymore and I had no idea how to make it," he explained. "My friend suggested that I go to the library and take out some cookbooks and I didn’t think the library did that, but they do and I borrowed three cookbooks."

The cookbooks were by famous chef Jamie Oliver, of whom Prescott had no knowledge at

the time, but he worked his way through the books, sometimes cooking seven or eight dishes a day.

"I became almost obsessed with everything about food and cooking for people and I fell in love with it," he said. "I fell in love with the communal aspect and cooking for people you love and feeding them."

As a way of documenting what he made, Prescott started taking photos of the dishes with his phone.

Instagram account and post the photos and I did that and everything just expanded from there."

Now, Prescott has compiled some of his favourite photos and

recipes into a new cookbook entitled Eat Delicious: 125 Recipes for Your Daily Dose of Awesome, and he describes the whole process and his success as somewhat surreal.

"It is surreal in the best way; the cool thing is that everyday I have multiple mes-

sages from people who live around the world who send me notes about recipes they have cooked or messages about the photography or photos of their family eating a dish, and it is the most rewarding thing in the world."

The ultimate goal with food photography is usually to make somebody hungry, but my ultimate goal is to change somebody’s dinner plans DENNIS PRESCOTT

"It had nothing to do with social media at that point, I just wanted to remember what I cooked a month ago," he said. "Later on, someone suggested that I start an

recipe itself and he hopes that through his photos he can show the experience the food will provide.

Continued from page 21

Prescott's main goal with his cooking and his photos is to inspire people, and he also hopes to maybe change their dinner plans too.

"The ultimate goal with food photography is usually to make somebody hungry, but my ultimate goal is to change somebody’s dinner plans," he said. "I go a step further and I want people to see the photograph and change their plans, I want to inspire that."

For Prescott, the photo is just as important as the

"We eat with our eyes, our noses, and our mouth and because we live in such a media-driven world now, we are constantly inundated with videos, photos, and visuals and I think it is highly important in inspiring other people," he said. "When I see something that is plated really well, I can visualize it on my table and visualize making it for my family and the photos can do that too."

Prescott also wanted to make his cookbook approachable and not intimidating and he hopes people see it in that way.

"I wanted to write a book in a way that would inspire people in the way that those early books inspired me. I want people to see it and think they can do it."

In promotion of his book, Prescott will be hosting two events at this year's Kingston Writersfest; on Sept. 27 he will host a dinner club event at Aqua Terra, and then on Sept. 28 he will host a photography workshop. He is looking forward to both events and returning to Kingston.

"The last time I was in Kingston was in my touring days and I loved it," he said. "I am super excited for the event. There will be four dishes from the book and they are four of my favourites and I really hope people will come check it out, and I am excited to chat more about photography too. It should be a great time."

The Kingston Dinner Club featuring Dennis Prescott will take place at the Delta Hotel on Sept. 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and Prescott’s Storytelling through food photography workshop will take place on Sept. 28 also at the Delta Hotel from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For more information or tickets to the event, visit https://www.kingstonwritersfest.ca/ticket-info/

In which we kick some leaves down an autumn path, pondering the new season ... a cornucopia of delights Jamie Swift COLUMNIST

Autumn. The cornucopia, overflowing with corn and squash, apples and pears, symbolizing the season.

The harvest’s abundance. Mar-

keters, together with Thanksgiving dinner hosts, often sprinkle on a palette of leaves to add some more tempting fall symbolism.

It’s a splendid season, even if it foreshadows winter’s gloom. For me, autumn recalls the crinkled paper sound of fallen foliage as you kick your way along a path.

Once upon a time, fall brought the wonderfully crisp smell of burning leaves.

That backyard practice has, re-

grettably, given way those soggy bags awaiting curbside pickup.

I always head down to Vandervoort’s general store to get some plain brown bags. That’s because I find it objectionable to actually pay some monster chain for the dubious privilege of staging a sidewalk advertising display featuring their corporate logos.

Fall is a fine season for children.

In which we kick some leaves down an autumn path Continued from page 28

The maples move slowly from summertime green to that deep red so emblematic of the season. Some years they only turn brownishyellow, but it’s a deep butterscotch shade, like the birches. Then there are the oaks that cling stubbornly to their leaves in the winter.

I look forward to those late afternoons when the sunlight is slanting into the trees, showing the foliage at its best. It’s even better if there’s a dark, cloudy eastern sky to offer a grand backdrop to the autumn colours. And once the leaves have fluttered their way down, the branches stand out against the autumn sky, a tangle of twigs and a few stubborn, papery leaves holding on. A witchy, Halloween scene.

That fall cornucopia pretty well always features apples, such a staple fruit in these parts. The promise of pies and crisps, simple plain eating and cider. If all of this sounds romantic, that’s what it is. John Keats included a famous poem, To Autumn, in his odes And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

Each year about this time I head out to a small acreage just south of Sydenham where Juliet and Michael have some eighteen apple trees. Courtlands and Macs, Spies and Granny Smiths. These folks are ever so organized, obsessively “putting things by” as fall unfolds.

They have a small cider press that was fashioned years ago by a Harrowsmith hobbyist. If you have an energetic gang ready to gather the fruit and feed the machine and strain the juice and bottle it up, it can produce hundreds of litres of cider. This is great fun, the kind of work bee that keeps a little gang busy and, as a bonus, provides a good supply of cider for all concerned.

It could all add to the cornucopia, except that we bottle it in white plastic containers that are fi ne for freezing.

Maybe if we could fi nd one of those old-fashioned, stoneware cider jugs with that nifty little handle, we’d be all set for a Thanksgiving centrepiece.

The leaves will soon be ready.

What to look for in an investment property

Historically, the appreciation rate for real estate is very strong. Even when the housing market declines, long-term investors in real estate can rest easy knowing that property values tend to rebound rather quickly, rewarding patient investors in the process.

Looking at real estate as a long-term investment is just one way approach a potential investment property.

The following are a few additional considerations prospective investors should contemplate before buying an investment property.

savings might be lost when it’s time to renovate. Find a property that’s in the type of condition you’re comfortable with. If you decide to go with a fixerupper, learn the cost of your potential projects before submitting an offer.

Cost Real estate makes a great investment, but don’t go overboard when buying an investment property.

Before making an offer on a property, research rents in the area and the cost of insurance in that particular

neighborhood. You want a property that essentially pays for itself, so make sure the rent you’re likely to collect is enough to cover your monthly costs, including the mortgage on the property, insurance and the costs associated with managing and maintaining the property.

Real estate investors often reap great rewards when selling their properties.

But it’s still important for potential investors to consider a host of factors before investing in a property.

Location Many people are familiar with the real estate industry axiom, “location, location, location!” When buying an investment property, location is everything.
