Toronto architect unveils sweeping plan for old Kingston broom factory

By Bill Hutchins

News – A Toronto-based architect is moving ahead with plans to purchase and redevelop the old Bailey Broom factory at 305-323 Rideau Street.

Raw Design Inc. will purchase the run-down, century-old building from the city for $1 with the intention to restore and convert the small corner property into a mix of residential and commercial office space over the next four years.

“RAW has been in business since November 2007 and has worked on various mixed use projects featuring heritage elements,” explained a city staff report.

Councillors authorized the terms of sale at their Sept. 20 meeting, completing a process that began two years ago.

“This is a creative approach and solution,” remarked Coun. Richard Allen. “I hope we can see a great redevelopment of an old building.”

Coun. Rob Hutchison, whose district includes the old factory, thanked city staff and the developer.

“I’ve heard nothing but positive thoughts from this and I think it’s a good thing that we’re doing.”

company to express an interest in acquiring the property at Rideau and Cataraqui Streets, which the city bought in 2014 from Rosen Fuels for $735,000 as part of a land assembly for the potential Wellington Street extension. The long-vacant building was originally earmarked for demolition until a public outcry saved it from the wrecking ball. It has since been designated to be of cultural heritage value and interest.

The old Bailey Broom factory is one of the few remaining symbols of the city’s industrial past. The factory, designed by renowned architect William Newlands, once operated as a 1905-era broom production line.

The city has already invested $280,000 for the site acquisition, maintenance and security, and will spend a further $30,000 to conduct a detailed environmental site assessment before the $1 sale is finalized. It’s an expense that officials recommended to council in order to revitalize another section of the Inner Harbour.

“In the best case scenario, if everything goes as proposed, the City would be able to save a heritage building by spending approximately $310,000.”

Downtown’s Capitol Condo approved in close council vote News – A controversial hi-rise development in downtown Kingston has the green light from city council. But just barely.

By a slim 7 to 6 vote, councillors approved a rezoning application to allow IN8 Developments Inc. to construct a 15 storey condominium on the site of the old Empire-Capitol movie theatre at 223 Princess Street. The 212-unit building, called The Capitol, will be built close to the Queen Street side of the downtown property.

“We knew it was going to be divisive. We knew it was going to be a close vote. But we’re glad it worked out in our favour and probably in the favour of the City of Kingston,” said IN8 president Darryl Firsten.

Councillors spent about an hour at their Sept. 20 meeting debating the merits of the residential intensification project which, at 52.4 metres, is about double the height of what the current site zoning allows. The application had earlier lost on a 3-3 tie vote at the planning committee.

“This building will not change the gorgeous view down Queen Street,” said Coun. Liz Schell, who supported the condo in order to fill a “huge, empty lot.”

The developer would like to begin construction in early 2017.

Coun. Ryan Boehme also spoke in

favour of the hi-rise, saying it fits with the city’s plan to promote downtown densification. “No one’s using the airspace. What an opportunity here.”

Speaking to the skeptics, he says other cities manage to blend heritage with modern buildings. “Let’s not be scared of our own shadows.”

But there are plenty of skeptics, both on council and in the community, who believe this low-rise heritage area of the downtown is no place for a 15-storey building.

Coun. Jim Neill says the developer knew the current zoning allows a maximum height of 25.5 metres and should’ve designed a building to fit the zoning. “This development could’ve been developed at 8, 9 or 10 storeys with far less community push back.”

The building height was revised many times, down from the initial 21 floors, during discussions between the builder and city planners. The current height rules, set in 1996, contemplated office buildings, Firsten added.

“The world has changed a lot since 1996. There was no Facebook. There was no Google. We didn’t have cell phones or I-phones. It’s a different world and the zoning hasn’t been updated.”

However, staff confirmed that changes to the Official Plan in 2010 allow taller buildings in places where it can be justified, which is why the developer didn’t need an Official Plan amendment.

Coun.

Peter

Stroud says the “overwhelming” message he’s heard from constituents is that the building is too tall. “We’ll be letting the people of downtown Kingston down in a very big way.”

Coun. Mary Rita Holland says the city is “at risk of failing” its own policy of open government, transparency and public consultation by rejecting the concerns of residents who object to the height.

Coun. Rob Hutchison complained this project is pushing too much intensification into one location. He also worries about the precedent The Capitol could set when it comes to future

residential developments in the downtown. “It’s not just about the proposal but the implications of the proposal.”

Two high-profile developers, Bryon Springer of The Springer Group and Alf Hendry of Homestead Land Holdings, were among the spectators in the packed council chamber. Hendry brushed past reporters after the vote and says he will provide more details about Homestead’s project in a “few months.” Homestead unveiled plans last year to construct twin 20 storey apartments on vacant lots on lower Queen Street.

Youth storytelling takes centre stage for Culture Days and Kingston WritersFest

By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

Events – For as long as language has existed, oral storytelling has been the first form of both communication and art known to mankind.

It’s these roots in history and the expressive nature of storytelling that inspired Mike Sheppard of Blue Canoe Productions to come up with Viva Voce, a coffeehouse-style showcase where writers, poets and playwrights share their work in their

Mike Sheppard is a Youth Arts Ambassadors for Culture Days.

own voices. The name speaks to this: Viva Voce is the Latin term for ‘word of mouth,’ and refers to the traditional form of storytelling this showcase aims to foster. Blue Canoe has hosted such events in the past, but Viva Voce: Our Youth, Telling Our Stories will be unlike any other, and will take place this coming weekend as part of Ontario Culture Days and Kingston WritersFest.

Ontario Culture Days named Sheppard, who is known for championing youth involvement in the arts, a Youth Arts Ambassador earlier this year. Along with four other Ambassadors across the province, Sheppard was given the task to create a new community arts project to premiere during the 2016 Culture Days, which take place September 30 and October 1 and 2.

Having worked on Viva Voce events in the past with Barbara Bell, artistic director of Kingston WritersFest, which is happening at the same time, Sheppard immediately thought the opportunity to bring these two events together was too good to pass up.

“WritersFest has wanted to work with Blue Canoe for a while using the Viva Voce model, and they

wanted to do a storytelling coffee house for youth,” Sheppard said.

“They work with youth already in such a big way, so we thought it was a great way to combine forces and add a youth voice to not only Culture Days, but to WritersFest as well.”

Taking place on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., Viva Voce will showcase youth between the ages of 13 and 30, telling their own stories in their own style and voice. Those presenting will include two playwrights – one presenting a monologue and the other a scene – as well as a poet and a writer, who will present a short story.

These presentations will take place following festival featured writer and published young poet, AshleyElizabeth Best, reading from her debut collection, Slow States of Collapse. Presentations will include the two winners of the Merilyn Simonds Protégé Project 2016, Meg Erb and Thalia Danielson.

Viva Voce: Our Youth, Telling Our Stories is open to the public, and is presented free of charge so as to be accessible to anyone and everyone, an important aspect of all Culture Days events, Sheppard

Condo Q&A: Downtown developer says he’s in Kingston for the long haul

By Bill Hutchins

News – Toronto-based IN8 Developments has been granted a rezoning application to begin, what it calls, the start of a renewed movement for urban intensification in downtown Kingston. The company’s 15-storey condominium project at 223 Princess Street, with the hi-rise set closer to the Queen Street side of the property, was approved by a 7-6 vote of council Sept. 20. Afterwards, the Kingston Heritage newspaper spoke with IN8 president Darryl Firsten for his reaction to the close vote, and to address some of the skepticism.

Heritage: What do you think of the outcome of this project at council?

Firsten: We’re grateful for the work that council put into this decision and we’re also grateful for the outcome. We think it’ll be a very positive change for Kingston. We know it was a challenging decision for the city but we’re of the strong belief that it was the right one.

Heritage: Were you surprised

by the close vote and some of the feedback you’ve heard from the community over the height issue?

Firsten: Not really. We’ve been listening to the community and revised the buildings many, many times and worked with planning staff on it. We knew it was going to be divisive. We knew it was going to be a close vote. But we’re glad it worked out in our favour and probably in the favour of the City of Kingston.

Heritage: What do you say to those who outright object to the 15 storey height?

Firsten: First of all it’s zoned for about eight storeys from a zoning bylaw written in 1996 that contemplated office buildings. The world has changed a lot since 1996.

There was no Facebook. There was no Google. We didn’t have cell phones or I-phones. It’s a different world and the zoning hasn’t been updated. In saying that, the Official Plan has been updated in more recent years, which does talk about eight storey buildings, but also speaks of taller buildings in places where it’s

Heritage: But why does the downtown need your building?

Firsten: We believe the downtown needs intensification and we believe this is the best form for it for economic, environmental and social reasons. We think it’ll be great for downtown and bring more people living downtown and make for a better Kingston in the future.

Heritage: There is the possibility of an OMB appeal. Do you think your development might be heading down that road based on some of the feedback?

Firsten: Of course it’s a possibility.

We are of the belief that with council support and with strong planning staff support that it’s extremely defensible and, of course, we would defend it. And we’re quite optimistic that wouldn’t be too much of a challenge.

Heritage: Can you address concerns raised that this could set a precedent for other hi-rise developments downtown?

OMB could be the next battleground for the Capitol condo FRANKLIN

By Bill Hutchins

News – The future address of The Capitol condominium is 223 Princess Street, but it may be better situated on the more-aptly named Division Street.

The 15 storey residential project has polarized the community over its height.

“We have rules. We should follow them. We risk killing the goose that lays the golden egg if we go for any development of any kind and precedents for future developments which will be equally high if not higher,” said concerned resident Christine Sypnowich.

Sypnowich is one of many opponents of the zoning bylaw amendment, approved by a close 7-6 council vote Sept. 20, allowing the project to be twice the allowable height for the area.

Coun. Rob Hutchison says councillors who voted against the project atop the former movie theatre were following the mood of their constituents. “I think it’s unfortunate and short sighted,” he told reporters after council’s narrow approval.

The Queen’s Journal reported that the tasks incited “binge-drinking, polestripping at clubs downtown‌ and public nudity,â€? as well as ‘the chubby bunny game,’ where people try to shove as many marshmallows in their mouths as possible – a game known for causing choking incidents.

At the end of the night, two of the students were hospitalized for excessive alcohol, with one of the two suffering from injuries, which resulted from smashing through the window of a downtown establishment.

The AMS was quick to respond, calling an emergency meeting of their Board of Directors on September 14, where it was decided to cease all TAPS socials for the remainder of the year, and to ensure an AMS human resources representative be present at all service staff interviews moving forward.

But perhaps the AMS was too quick to respond, given that one of the other directives decided on at that meeting was overturned within the week.

That decision was to shut down both The Underground and Queen’s Pub during Frost Week (the week following the fall semester) and homecoming.

Why would the AMS close down the two pubs during some of the most high-traffic times for the University? I guess that’s what they asked themselves before the Board of Directors met again on Monday, Sept. 19. “We apologize because we failed

Column – It’s long since been a part of the post-secondary experience, which is why doing away with it hasn’t happened over night.

Hazing, initiation, rite of passage – call it what you will. Sometimes, these instances are innocent, fun and downright ridiculous, such as, say, dying your skin purple and stiffening your hair with gelatine or porridge to create an epic Mohawk. Other times, and perhaps more infamously, these events involve humiliation, dangerous exploitation, and as many broken laws as broken bottles.

Sadly, it’s the latter of those options that happened at the end of August amongst some of the Queen’s students that work in the university’s studentrun pubs.

A branch of the Queen’s Alma Mater Society (AMS), The AMS Pub Service (commonly known as TAPS), oversees and runs both Queen’s Pub and The Underground, two of the bars on campus. TAPS hosted a workplace social on August 30, where newly trained student employees were handed a list of tasks by managerial staff. While TAPS has traditionally run “scavenger hunt�-like activities during socials with new employees, according to the AMS representatives, this list was rife with tasks you’d be hard-pressed to call anything but ‘hazing’ – a word AMS vice president (operations) Dave

to take the appropriate action immediately. After the incident we were being pressured from every direction – from the University, from students, from our staff – and we tried to please everyone,� the AMS Executive wrote in an open letter to students.

In that same letter, the Executive admits it made a mistake in attempting to protect the managers they hired, and in taking the “strong action� to close the pubs during periods of high volume.

That said, the AMS then moved to correct those mistakes, dismissing the head manager of TAPS, and overturning the decision to close the pubs. “A closure punishes students without addressing the core cultural issues that led to this incident of hazing, and does nothing to ensure we are providing a safe drinking environment for students,� the Executive said in the letter.

Having sat down with Tyler Lively, president of the AMS, the day after this decision was made, I can tell you he and his colleagues are committed to trying to change the culture that allowed these events to happen, and have taken these events seriously. The AMS will even be forming a committee to “investigate cultural issues in the service [TAPS]� and “implementing dry training weeks for TAPS moving forward.�

It may have taken a week – and a couple of questionable decisions – to come to the conclusion they have,

Picking a national bird: is it really necessary?

Editorial – As Canadians, we have a national anthem, a national animal (the beaver), national colours, a national emblem and two national sports (hockey and lacrosse), but to the surprise of some, we have no national bird.

The Americans have the eagle, the British have the robin, the French have the rooster and event the New Zealanders have the kiwi, but somewhere along the way, Canada never identified a national bird. But did anyone really notice?

Recently, in 2015, the Royal Canadian Geographic Society noticed.

They put a call out to name a national bird in time for Canada’s 150th birthday next year and now the race is well underway.

They originally narrowed the list to 40 different birds that Canadians were asked to vote for, and now, the list has been narrowed to just four: the loon, the snowy owl, the grey jay, also know as the whiskey jack, and of course the Canadian goose.

Unsurprisingly, the loon has been the runaway favourite and that is likely because many just assumed that the loon already was the national bird – it even has a place on our national currency.

The final decision will be made in December of 2016, but debates seem to be heating up about this selection. Many are asking Canadians to pick a more unique choice like the grey jack, which breeds all across Canada and doesn’t travel south in the winter months.

Others are asking for a choice that is not associated with provinces in Canada; the snowy owl is the provincial bird of Quebec and the loon is the provincial bird of Ontario. Some feel that by picking either of these options, the national bird will seem like a nod or a show of favouritism to that province.

In the end though, is all of this debate really necessary? Sure, it is important to have birds, songs, and sports to represent a country, but does it really mean anything?

Regardless, Canada will have a national bird by the end of the year.

Hopefully it will be able to make an appearance when Canada turns 150 next July. but I for one would like to applaud the AMS for recognizing those errors and working quickly to ensure those students who do choose to drink have a place on campus to do so

responsibly. Here’s hoping that same sense of responsibility carries outside the boundaries of campus and into our streets – Especially with Homecoming right around the corner.

Meanwhile City Hall continues to pursue Queens Park dollars for a new river crossing without providing residents the ‘value added’ it will bring.

Our Mayor has suggested we engage in an informed debate to “make sure everyone understands what those issues are.� I agree. But so far the

debate has failed to materialize.

It is vital that the community understands whether or not the plan for a ‘third crossing’ has taken the 401 expansion into consideration, what the cost to the taxpayer will be and its effect on neighbourhood communities.

Williamsville does not need another park Jeff Scott THE COUNTRYSIDE VIEW Williamsville is the district in the city with the least amount of parkland. I have heard this statement made time and again. Being the smallest of districts it is not difficult to see why it would have the least amount of parkland. To remedy this situation, city staff have proposed to turn the now closed St.Mary and St. Joseph school into parkland.

There is a serious problem with this calculation though. Assigning each district with a certain amount of parkland assumes that all parkland is of equal value and equal use. Williamsville may have the least amount of parkland but they do have the best parkland. Mil-

Condo approved in close council vote

lions of dollars have been pumped into parks in this district since amalgamation thanks to the suburban tax payers.

Williamsville now has the only aquatic centre in the city. Right next to it is a wonderful splash pad playground which is the envy of many of the other districts.

Not only does this district have these wonderful amenities, it also has two of the city’s best parks as well. Victoria Park is a wonderfully treed park with a playground, basketball court, ball diamond and tennis court. In the winter it has two outdoor rinks that the City fully maintains. The other is Churchill

Park which is the City’s showpiece garden with its wonderful floral displays. It is odd to see that the City staff are proposing to build a new park will be right across the street from Churchill Park.

Now, to compare this district with other areas of the city, it needs to be noted that there are great discrepancies. The entire Northwest section of the City, including the Hamlet of Elginburg, has no park at all. Although the countryside District has the 15 hectare Cecil Graham Park on Colonel

By Lake it is a completely empty hay field because the City never bothered

to develop it. Cataraqui Woods has only one park and it is in terrible shape and is overgrown with buckthorn and prickly ash with only a small play structure and a derelict ball diamond for this entire neighbourhood. As for skating rinks, the Glenburnie and Joyceville Road rinks haven’t been flooded for the past two years. In fact, most of the City parks are poorly maintained since there is not enough money to properly maintain all of them. Many are merely mowed and cleaned and nothing else. The lion’s share of the park budget is spent on maintaining

the parks in Williamsville. It is great that the residents of the rest of the city can drive in to enjoy the wonderful parks in Williamsville but, do they really need another park?

If Williamsville really wants more parkland then they should work with what they have: demolish the derelict agricultural buildings at the Memorial Centre and move the fair out to the countryside where it belongs. They should also use half of the enormous dog park. This would free up more than enough play space for the children of Williamsville.

Coun. Adam Candon, who sought legal advice on whether his real estate dealings put him in a conflict of interest with the Capitol, opted to take part in the debate and voted in favour of the application. He spoke of the social, economic and environmental benefits, including the “walk-ability” factor for future residents of The Capitol. “This should be a high priority for a community that says it wants to be Canada’s most sustainable city.”

Coun. Laura Turner says the redeveloped site would generate about $700,000 in property taxes every year, compared with $92,000 in current tax revenues from the vacant theatre.

Mayor Bryan Paterson admitted the condo debate has been “polarizing” the community but says the building’s strategic location makes it easy to support.

Even though the condo’s main entrance is through the old theatre facade on Princess Street, the hi-rise will be stepped back and situated closer to the back of the property.

“It’s about Queen Street,” the mayor told council, adding it won’t detract from the main business corridor.

The mayor’s comments prompted some spectators to storm out of the room, with one man overheard saying profanities as he left.

Those voting in favour of the 15 storey building were Mayor Paterson and councillors Richard Allen, Adam Candon, Ryan Boehme, Kevin George, Liz Schell and Laura Turner.

Those opposed were councillors Mary Rita Holland, Rob Hutchison, Jeff McLaren, Jim Neill, Lisa Osanic and Peter Stroud.

Frontenac Islands meeting review:

By Margaret Knott

Frontenac Island’s council welcomed Alison Vandervelde, Frontenac County Community Development Officer, & Anne Marie Young, the County Manager of Economic Development, to their September meeting to update them about the ‘Regional Branding’ for Frontenac County.

“Frontenac,” the brand unifies the 4 county municipalities under one Frontenac umbrella with the logo used throughout the county as a promotional tool. ‘“The objective and the challenge of the branding is to promote Frontenac , its characteristics, its geography, its community, what it has offer and proudly to say I’m from Frontenac.”

Alison referred to the

Frontenac logo, and the easy use of the “IN Frontenac” tag ( a natural hash tag) to advertise, promote anything anywhere in it. “ I have been tasked to bring brand Ambassadors on board.

My goal is 100 businesses, community organizations who want to take part in celebrating the brand, collaborate to build the reputation of Frontenac as a desirable place to live, work do business work. We are also looking at starting a regional marketing plan.”

Trips and trails, local food and beverage and recreational life style are the areas to be focused on in the next 3-4 years.

Toronto architect unveils sweeping plan for old Kingston broom factory Continued from page 1

Mayor Bryan Paterson initially expressed concerns about investing municipal money into the abandoned structure when the city decided not to demolish the structure a year ago. “It’s unfortunate it has cost us more than it was hoped.”

However, he voted in favour of the RAW deal.

“Yes, we’re selling this building for $1 … but it’s going to cost us a lot more to hang onto it.”

The city expects to collect $16,000 in annual property taxes once the site is fully redeveloped.

The first phase involves demolishing the building’s concrete north wing and converting the remaining heritage building into commercial space.

“The main tenant of the building would be RAW, and the remainder of the building would be targeted for incubator/accelerator space for small business and start-ups,” according to staff.

The red brick building is in poor shape with decaying windows and masonry, rotting wooden beams on rotting pier foundations and decaying wood roof joists. RAW will need heritage approvals before proceeding with any of the restoration work.

The city will give RAW until early 2021 to complete the site remediation, heritage-related approvals and building restoration.

RAW estimates the cost for stabilization, restoration and repurposing to be just over one million dollars.

“City staff deems the $1 million estimate to restore the building to be reasonable based on experience restoring and repairing City heritage buildings,” staff added.

Because the site is considered a Brownfield, the

developer will qualify for land clean-up incentives and tax breaks.

The second phase of the restoration plan involves transforming 0.36 acres of adjacent vacant land fronting Rideau Street into residential housing.

“The purchase and sale agreement includes a condition that requires RAW to complete the restoration of the building on the Building Lands before it is permitted to develop the Vacant Lands,” the report added.

Under a council-approval timeline of the first phase, the site sale would be finalized by early 2017, site remediation completed by early 2019, heritage approvals by early 2020 and completed restoration in early 2021. The vacant lands can be developed any time after the first phase conditions are met.

The agreement also provides RAW several “out” clauses should the project fail at the site remediation, heritage approval, planning application or building reconstruction stages.

City officials have said the building redevelopment won’t affect the proposed Wellington extension’s right-of-way.

Family’s tradition helps local NICU and the families it serves

By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that mean the most, and nowhere is this more apparent than inside the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of any hospital.

It’s something Shayne Bampton and his wife, Stephanie Jesshope, know all too well. When their son, Emmett, was born in October of 2009, it was two and a half months before he was due to enter the world.

At a tiny two pounds and 11 ounces, Emmett’s early birth came with even more surprises: not expecting a premature baby, Bampton and Jesshope’s stocked dressers held clothes for their baby boy beginning with sizes 0-3 months – all of which were too large for Emmett. With a child in the NICU of Kingston General Hospital (KGH), Bampton found himself faced with even more stress as he had to leave his wife and baby to go out in search of clothing for a premature child.

“I found limited supplies in the local stores… it was so stressful for me,” Bampton expressed.

“I was a new dad, I had a baby

in the hospital and we didn’t know whether or not he was going to make it, and I had no idea what the heck I was doing when I was going baby clothes shopping.”

Bampton laughs now when he recalls the frenzied shopping spree, but his voice changes when he recalls that stress. It was something he’ll never forget, he said, and something he and Jesshope don’t wish upon any other parent.

For that reason, once the family was finally able to bring baby Emmett home and the happy, healthy boy grew out of the preemie clothing, they made a decision based in logic – little did they know that decision would become a family legacy.

“We had all of this stuff that we weren’t going to be able to use. We weren’t going to have another child, so we decided not to keep it,” Bampton explained, noting that they held on to a few items for their memory box, but had a lot of items left over.

“So we went back to the NICU and gave them to the staff there after two or three months. We said ‘pass these along to people who can use them, because we know what it’s like and we want to make it easier for

them.’”

As Bampton describes, there is a sense of camaraderie and community amongst those in the NICU. The nurses, physicians, specialists and staff all become like family that you’ve bonded with through one of the most important and difficult times of your life, he said. The gratitude Emmett’s family had for those dedicated professionals combined with the empathy they felt for other families like theirs meant that the first donation of a few dozen outfits would be far from the last they made.

The next year, the family reached out to their family and friends, explaining that they wanted to do the same thing again on Emmett’s birthday. Those who could knit or crochet created tiny mitts and hats; those who had preemie clothing they no longer needed were asked to donate the items; and those who could donate funds or time were asked to purchase preemie clothing or act as a collection site for those donating items. The goal was not to raise funds, but to donate items for parents with children in the NICU in an effort to alleviate stress.

Family’s tradition helps local NICU and the families it serves Continued from page 12

On Emmett’s first birthday, the family raised about $1000 in funds and items, turning the funds into items needed before dropping off the donation. Then, on Emmett’s second birthday, that number grew, as more friends and family members spread the word and more people from Kingston and well beyond saw the same need Emmett’s family did. Bampton, a professional photographer, offered free family photo sessions to anyone who donated $200 or more, and the donation became a yearly tradition, known as ‘Emmett’s Annual KGH NICU Donation.’ Each year the amount of funds and clothing items coming in grew steadily.

This year, Emmett will turn seven on October 17, and the family will once again make the trip down to KGH with their SUV loaded up with donations to help families in the NICU. But something a little different has happened this year, too.

For the first time, two corporate sponsors stepped up offering to match donations. The first was Sunlife* Financial, who offered to match the first $1000 raised – which happened within the first few days of the campaign. The second was K-Rock 105.7 FM, where local radio personality and Bampton’s friend,

Sideshow, had learned of Emmett’s Annual KGH NICU Donation last year when he and his wife had a premature daughter. Sideshow brought Bampton on the air and pledged that K-Rock would also match the next $1,000 raised. At the same time, local businesses that caught wind of the fundraiser began donating items to use as rewards for donations, and Bampton’s photography colleagues also stepped up to donate their services in lieu of Bampton doing all of the family photo shoots – something that had become too much work for one person as the donations increased annually.

Funds that are donated will be used to purchase more than clothing items for the babies that go through KGH’s NICU, too. This year, the family is looking into buying parking vouchers and meal vouchers as a means to further help the families in the NICU. And what’s more is that the family donates it all to be doled out at the discretion of the staff and team that run the NICU. “They know when someone needs something, and who needs what,” said Bampton, noting that the NICU at KGH serves families from all across eastern Ontario, many of whom need to stay in Kingston for weeks at a time.

“And what it does is it allows the clothes that they no longer need, it’s he is now a vibrant, intelligent soonfamilies to not have to worry about something that we think provides a to-be-seven-year-old who considers other things. They can rest easier and really invaluable service,” she said. the annual donation “just something know they can spend as much time “It’s so nice to have the babes my family does.” with their baby as possible… and dressed in as normal-looking “He can get a little shy about that’s something the NICU staff put clothing as possible.

Pump House Steam Museum’s new Learning Lab is fun for all ages

By Rob Mooy

“Welcome to the Pump House Steam Museum”, greets Miriam Michielin, museum interpreter. “Feel free to touch, play and learn with all the exhibits in our new Learning Lab.” Times sure have changed from when museums were only look and do-nottouch institutions. These days more and more museums are filled with interactive hands-on displays and, one of Kingston’s more popular museums, the Pump House Steam Museum is no exception.

While renovations to the Discovery Centre are underway at the back end of the museum, a Learning Lab exhibit – a science exhibit aimed at kids from Kindergarten to Grade 4 – has opened in the Engineerium exhibition space.

“The Learning Lab is all based upon inquiry based learning,” says curator Gordon Robinson. “Kids will come in and they are the scientist.”

Young scientists entering the lab put on a lab coat, grab a pair of safety glasses and a clipboard.

“On the clip board we have an evaluation. What we get them to do is go around to each activity and evaluate how enjoyable each activity is and what they learned from it,” explains Robinson. “In one way it’s fun for the children to learn, and share what their favourite exhibit was, but in another way it’s for us to learn.”

The exhibit is helping the museum gather feedback that they hope to use as a guide for what to include in the Discovery Centre.

“In turn, take the best and/or modify or adapt and create new, so we can put these displays back in a different form,” said Robinson.

This will tell museum staff which different types of learning styles are working, what activities are good, what’s doable, ultimately creating a better museum experience.

The Learning Lab is a family friendly exhibit with hands on activities that will keep even the smallest hands, and even some parents, busy throughout their entire visit to the museum.

One of the first things young a scientist discovers upon entering the lab is a giant air cannon/wind tunnel. Eager to have a turn, youngsters approach the cannon and are given a very simple prompt – score 50 points using the different objects provided.

“Some will fly better than others, some will not fly at all,” says Robinson. “It’s up to the kids to discover which works best.

So we are not leading, but rather prompt them and let them discover on their own and learn at the same time.”

Another area of the exhibit deals with logic, special reasoning, and spatial awareness. Here, participants will find Pentominoes, different shapes and puzzles, which can be arranged in a number of different shapes.

“This area is very much puzzle and math based,” says Robinson. “It’s a logic break.”

Just around the corner is the magnetic wall, where using magnets, two inch pipes and wooden balls, visitors create a pathway and then pop in a wooden ball

to see if it makes it all the way through.

“Here we learn about how things go together, angles and velocity. Trial and error learning really. A little bit of magnetic fun. Everything in here is educational,” explains Robinson. “But yet again, it’s mostly them discovering by themselves. And that was the whole intent of this lab. That they figure it out and have fun doing it.”

Another area of the lab is filled with fun puzzles. Here, while wearing inversion goggles visitors attempt to draw between the lines or through a maze.

“The Brain adapts to what it sees. We see an image and it gets flipped and your brain corrects for us, in this area we see what happens when you mess with this.

I’m terrible at these,” adds Robinson.

“But kids are great; they figure it out really quickly, adapt and go from there.”

The interactive lab will go a long way in helping establish what will be included in the new Discovery Centre, scheduled for completion in the spring.

“It’s all about expanding the footprint of the museum and making it fully accessible,” says Robinson. “Not only will there be new displays and activities, but there will also be a new school group entrance, larger Discovery Centre and more workshop, office and storage space.

This in turn allows us to turn our existing office into a gift shop, which people have been asking for, for years.”

The Pump House Steam Museum is open Thursday and Friday from 12 to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Learning Lab exhibit runs until Nov. 26 and for more information visit steammuseum.ca

OMB could be the next battleground for the Capitol condo Continued from page 7

The group Vision for Kingston says it is also “saddened” with council’s decision, stating the condo too tall and out of character with the surrounding buildings, and not consistent with the city’s Official Plan and zoning bylaws.

(The city lists the building’s official height at 15 floors but it’s actually closer to 16 floors when the rooftop mechanical equipment is included.)

But will opponents take the battle a step further? They have 20 days to file an appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), or council’s decision will be final.

Darryl Firsten, president of IN8 Developments, is confident his project will survive any challenge to Ontario’s quasi-judicial board that resolves municipal planningrelated disputes. “We are of the belief that with council support and with strong planning staff support that it’s extremely defensible and, of course, we would defend it (at the OMB). And we’re quite optimistic that wouldn’t be too much of a challenge.”

Firsten also has the backing of the powerful Downtown Kingston BIA, which is strongly in favour of the new hi-rise and the

potential foot traffic it will bring.

“From the downtown economy perspective, it’s about 215 units and 450 people living downtown.

The economies have changed and we need more people living downtown,” said BIA chair Ed Smith.

Despite a less than-ringing endorsement from council, Smith says the will of the majority prevailed. “I think, overall, council got it right. As the mayor indicated, it’s not a black and white decision but I think the benefits do far outweigh many of the perceived concerns. Whether it passes 7-6 or 13-0, the building proceeds.”

Smith doesn’t think the height issue will be a concern for most people in the downtown. “Most people looking at buildings, they don’t even notice height much past two or three storeys.”

But Vision for Kingston disagrees, and may well take the next step.

“We are considering a challenge to this decision which ignores the Official Plan and undermines the zoning bylaws. The intrusive high-rise will greatly compromise Kingston’s historic downtown,” said spokesperson Sammi King in a news release after the council meeting.

Room author Emma Donoghue on WritersFest, filmmaking and her latest project News - Writing is an inherently solitary task and for many authors, such as Emma Donoghue, events like Kingston WritersFest provide a welcome opportunity to take their work out into the world and interact with readers face-to-face.

“Some writers are introverted and they hate to go on tour,” she says. “I’m an extrovert and I absolutely love being let out of my little room and given a chance to meet people and to hear from them how books have touched them and what their questions are.”

Donoghue, who is the author of nine novels including the international bestseller Room, is co-headlining the Kingston WritersFest International Marquee, which takes place Thursday, Sept. 29 from 8 - 9:30 p.m. at the Grand Theatre. Also appearing at the event will be Pulitzer Prize winning author Annie Proulx.

“I’ve read almost everything of hers, I’m a huge fan,” Donoghue says…“Getting to do the event with Annie Proulx makes it a really memorable one. Her new book [Barkskins] is just this amazing epic of Canadian and world history.”

Donoghue’s new book, The Wonder, is similarly historical in nature; set in the mid-19th century, it tells of a British nurse who travels to Ireland to examine the case of a young girl who appears to have survived without food for several weeks.

have to be very selective of what you show and you can’t spell everything out. But on the other hand you’ve got the visual, you’ve got the actors, so some things come across much faster… I really try to write in that spirit of appreciation of what film can do as opposed to what fiction can do.”

Unlike The Wonder, Room is a contemporary story, and Donoghue says she has enjoyed writing a mix of historical and contemporary novels throughout her career.

“I like the contrast between them. [Historical novels] are maybe a bit more work in that you have to research every little thing.

You can’t even have a character walking down a road without saying to yourself, ‘hang on, did they have sidewalks’?”

On the other hand, she says creating a sense of drama is much easier in stories set a hundred or more years ago.

“Back before the welfare state, if you made a single mistake in your life you could end up dead. They didn’t have fire insurance - everything was like a high stakes game.”

Donoghue notes that “historical fiction is sometimes seen as a lowbrow genre but this context [at WritersFest], reading with Annie Proulx, puts it on this very, very high level.”

Colour your world (and body) Kingston hosted a primal, tribal even, event recently that attracted people from every walk of life and every age range.

The inaugural Limestone City Tattoo and Arts Festival was a wild success, with community members showing up in droves, filling the conference centre at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in downtown Kingston. Some came to look; others came for ink, getting a new tattoo etched permanently into their body.

Co-organizer and tattoo artist Andrew Ottenhof said they are still sifting through all the numbers but he’s thrilled that expectations were met. He figures about 3000 people passed through the doors during the two-day/evening event.

“The community support was fantastic,” he said. “The biggest thing was having people en-

joy themselves. We want to keep it as a grass roots event.”

Close to 40 volunteers gave their time to help make the festival a success.

“A lot of people were willing to donate their energy,” said Ottenhof. “We couldn’t have made the weekend work without all those people.”

Ottenhof wanted it to be a family friendly and inclusive event where everyone felt welcome: from babies in strollers to those hanging in pouches on their mother’s or father’s chest to teenagers, college students and senior citizens.

They all came. Looked like if you ink it, they will come.

“We had such a great response from the community,” he said. “People kept telling us that, for this being a first-time event, we really knocked it out of the park. For the longest time, we kept hearing that the tattoo community was a closed community. It’s still one of those fringe sort of things, so it’s really cool that so many people got a chance to see what it’s all about.”

He explained that tattoos are a form of artistic expression, self expression and self fulfillment.

He said that some people who may have had reservations became enticed by the festival and

came out and enjoyed themselves.

I saw everyone from doctors and soccer moms to bikers and musicians in the crowd.

At the popular stencil tattoo booth, children (and adults) could select temporary tattoos that volunteers applied to arms and legs.

“Without sounding corny and cheesy, it felt like one big family,” said Ottenhof. “From people who were there to get tattoos to the artists, organizers and people from the community coming in the door, it really had the vibe we wanted. It was the nicest group of people.”

Visual artist Shannon Brown (shannonbrownstudio.com) whose art was in the gallery exhibition already has two tattoos and would like to get another.

“The vibe [at the festival] was really dynamic,” she said. “People were positive about my artwork and about the experience in general.”

She enjoyed seeing so many people getting tattoos.

“There were a lot of endorphins and pumped up raw energy in the room with people going under the needle. There were lots of really beautiful tattoos, too. I saw a woman with her whole back done up in a symmetrical line design, like a lacy mandala. But her eyes were red from crying; it can be very painful.”

More than 40 tattoo artists worked solid hours through the two days and evenings of the festival. Any appointments still available when the festival got under way filled quickly.

Ottenhof explained that part of the organizational process for the festival included vetting the artists to ensure the highest calibre of

talent. This included the tattoo artists themselves, as well as tattoo supply companies as well as the visual artists who exhibited their work in the gallery at the festival.

Sara Heyman, who visited the festival with her three-year-old daughter and 18-month-old son, wanted to see the body art and other art on display. She has four tattoos of her own, but wasn’t in a position to get new ink on the weekend.

“Not with a three-year-old tagging along,” she said, laughing.

She explained that for many people, including herself, each tattoo has an important meaning to the wearer.

“It’s a work of art,” she said. “It tells you something about the person. You get an idea of their personality by looking at their tattoos.”

She got her first tattoo, a yin/yang symbol, when she was 18.

“I got it when my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Heyman. “It was kind of an homage to her and something to help her keep strength.”

She said the atmosphere at the Limestone festival was welcoming and fun. Her only recommendation would be for a larger venue as things were cramped at times with so many people on site.

That attests to the success of the festival. Andrew Ottenhof also commented on the success, and hopes to run the event again next year.

“This year, we wanted to keep all the art-

ists working and busy, so we made it a two-day show,” he said. “We don’t plan on having more artists, but we might make it a three-day show since we saw a huge amount of support from people in the community.”

Rob McLellan, a volunteer at the festival, has worked in the hospitality industry and said that from his perspective everything went very well.

The only issue McLellan saw was a “good problem.”

“There were so many people that the venue needed to be bigger, but who knew it was going to be so awesome?”

McLellan got his own first tattoo in 1998. He said that a tattoo is a way of artistically expressing yourself, and it can be a bonding experience.

“My wife and I and my best friend and I have gotten tattoos together,” he said. “It’s a way of bonding. It’s this thing you’ll have between you forever.”

I understand what he meant. I got new ink this year, because my 18-year-old daughter, Maureen, asked if we could get matching tattoos. We are both fans of everything Peter Pan. So Maureen got a large Neverland pirate ship on her shoulder and I got pixie dust tattooed along my right arm. Our tattoo artist, Bailey, from Burlington, was on a new family adventure Tattoo artists from across North America created tattoos on hundreds of participants at of her own. She was married in the past month the recent inaugural Limestone City Tattoo and Arts Festival at the Four Points Sheraton and her husband was staffing the booth with her Hotel.

Celebrating the Salt of the Earth In 1993, Aperture published Sebastião Salgado’s photographic documentary book “Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age.” Over seven years. Salgado explored the world of workers in 26 countries.

“I saw that we were arriving at the end of the first big industrial revolution, where the role of the worker inside that model was changed,” said Salgado in a TED Talk. “And I made this decision to pay homage to the working class.”

Salgado did so with a stunning collection of photographs that captures work-

ers in all their grit and glory.

In last week’s column, I wrote about the dangers of retirement.

Today, when jobs are disappearing and roles of workers are changing, I’m going to start looking at the roles of different workers and their careers in our city. Over the next several months, I’ll be meeting with and job-following workers.

A community is like a giant bee hive.

Interdependent roles keep everything running. But imagine if suddenly there was no one to fix the roads or plow them in winter. Suppose there was no one available to do triage in the emergency room, what then?

In an era when too many are focused on “star” quality and celebrity, where much of life is mere facade, we need to return to a reasonable perception of what’s important in our culture. So I’ll be saluting workers, the salt of the earth.

Things are not looking great for the worker in North America. In the United States, the next president is not going to be labor friendly.

Donald Trump says he’s all for the working person. Meanwhile, he’s screwed the working person at

every opportunity. Hillary Clinton says she’s pro labor, although her history contradicts this. Just look at her actions when she served on the union-busting Walmart Board of Directors. In Canada, you’ll be able to watch jobs disappear after our selfie-obsessed “leader” ratifies the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), continuing along his predictable path of saying whatever his constituents want to hear, but doing the opposite.

Sebastião Salgado, born in 1944, earned a master’s degree in economics at the University of Sao Paulo in his home country, Brazil. He worked for the International Coffee Organization, but by 1973, he’d grown restless. He took a major career leap and entered the world of documentary photography. The film Salt of the Earth, released in 2014, documents the work of Salgado.

This photographer/social activist doesn’t just skim the surface. Peter Fetterman (New York Times) noted: “Other photojournalists go in and out for a day. Sebastião goes and lives with his subjects for weeks before he even takes a picture.”

So in the coming months, in this column, I hope to share the experiences of people and their work.

In Canada, workers are supposed to have rights. These include hours of work and overtime rules. There is a minimum wage which an employer must, by law, pay their workers. Most workers have

the right to annual vacations with pay (in Ontario, teachers are excluded from this basic human right. They get no vacation pay and do not get paid for their summers off).

Employers are expected to give employees time for meal breaks. But even these most basic of rights are sometimes ignored. Loopholes are found.

Workers in Canada have the right to work in a safe and healthy environment. In theory, employees have the right to refuse unsafe In 1993, Sebastião Salgado’s “Workers: An Archaeolwork.

Stone City Strength & Wellness brings fresh fitness approach to east Kingston By: Aric McBay

News - Stone City Strength & Wellness, a new fitness centre in east Kingston, will have its grand opening celebration on Oct. 1. Its founders set up the gym to offer a “positive and motivating training environment” for competitive athletes and general fitness.

“I believe that everybody is an athlete,” said

co-founder Tomasz Deren. “And whatever part of that spectrum they’re at, I try to treat them like an athlete, and show them that there is a potential beyond where they currently are.”

Deren is also the Strength and Conditioning Coordinator at the Royal Military College, and holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology.

He founded the gym with his business partner Sarah Kauffman. Kauffman holds several fit-

“I’ve always had a love of fitness, athletics, played in team sports and grew up rowing competitively,” said Kauffman, who dreamed of opening a gym. “Once I got to know Tomasz and saw his coaching, knowledge and experience, I thought to myself, I had found the missing link to make my dream a reality. Together we are a strong team—we have the same values and goals for the gym while having complimentary skills to successfully run the business.”

“We could feed off each other’s strengths,” Deren added. “It made so much sense to do it.”

The gym, located just off Highway 15 south of the 401, has a variety of fitness equipment including barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, lifting platforms and racks, as well as exercise

bikes and rowing machines. There is also a room set aside for a massage therapist. The equipment and space is all brand new, but the gym hopes to truly distinguish itself through its quality of coaching and programs.

“We’re really trying to offer a fresh take on the warehouse group fitness environment, in that we’re offering programs that are not offered anywhere else in the city,” said Deren.

The gym offers a wide variety of programs including early-morning and high-intensity lunchtime workouts, general fitness, primal fitness, and a barbell club emphasizing powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting. Deren expects the variety of programs to attract many new members.

Pushing to change the state of youth homelessness

By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

Events – Joe Roberts hit pause on the soundtrack of his journey to take a phone call, heavy gusts of wind shaking the shopping cart he’s pushing from across the country.

“Wind and traffic: it’s my life,” he said, laughing.

“This is nothing! When we were in Wreckhouse, N.L., the wind was a real freaky thing. They get hurricane winds without hurricanes… I went through one day and thought ‘This is no problem!’ and when we went back the next day… it was like those reporters you see in Florida just before a hurricane slams the coast. The trees are bent over… there was a transport trailer on its side from the wind!”

What makes a man endure the myriad of weather conditions across this nation, pushing a shopping cart 24km a day to cover over 9000km through 10 provinces and three territories? A cause that is not only close to his heart, but one he knows all about first hand:

youth homelessness.

Roberts began his journey on May 1, 2016, pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise awareness about youth homelessness and how to solve that problem while raising funds to institute the programs he hopes will eradicate the issue altogether. The campaign is called The Push for Change, and the shopping cart, a symbol of homelessness, is something Roberts himself pushed during his days on the streets of east Vancouver in his early 20s. By then, he’d left home at 16, quit school by 17, and had long since been escaping into drugs and alcohol before becoming a full-blown heroin addict living under a viaduct and collecting bottles and cans.

“I ended up like 67 per cent of young people in this country: I experienced homelessness very young because of family conflict,” Edwards explained.

“My father died early, my stepfather was an abusive, violent alcoholic, and by the time I was 15, I just couldn’t live at home anymore, it was just constant fisticuffs. And so I left.”

But, as Roberts said, that is the sad part of his story.

Conquer

“The good news is I had a support system of people who helped me exit.

With the help of my mom and an OPP police officer, a doorway of opportunity opened for me,” he said.

Roberts entered detox right here in Kingston before going through drug rehabilitation in Belleville. There, he attended Loyalist College in business marketing, where he earned several awards for his academic achievements.

He moved on to become the CEO of Mindware Design Communications, and within the decade, he was on the cover of Canadian Business magazine as a celebrated technology entrepreneur.

But Roberts knew then what he still knows today: not all homeless youth will escape the streets like he did.

Regardless of his success, Roberts wasn’t fulfilled until he made the decision to fight youth homelessness, he said. And to Roberts, The Push for Change and bringing awareness to the issue is just the beginning.

“The walk is one piece of a longer vision. When the walk is done, we’ll have done something significant that we can

Water!

continue to advocate from for many, many years,” he said, noting that one of the most important parts of The Push for Change for him has been meeting with youth currently experiencing homelessness and sharing his insights on how to break the cycle.

“Our long term vision as a foundation for after the walk is complete is that we want to see school-based screening programs in every high school and in the country, so that we’re able to help young people in their crisis before they become homeless,” he said.

“In the western world, we tend to throw a lot of dollars and energy at emergency services and frontline agencies, and we absolutely need to do that, but if we really want to support them in a deep and meaningful way, we should be working at stemming the flow. And that’s prevention.”

Roberts and The Push for Change will arrive in Kingston and participate in community events on October 6 and 7. Here, he will engage with local youth, speak at a community luncheon, and tour a

number of local agencies that serve homeless youth. The entire two days of events locally were arranged by the local United Way and sponsored

by Cushman and Wakefield Kingston, Real Estate Brokerage, Roberts explained, noting that Cushman and Wakefield president, Peter Kostagiannis, has been a true friend to the campaign and championed Kingston as a stop on The Push for Change.

For Roberts, the goal of this and every stop along the way is to explain the importance of preventing and ending youth homelessness.

“My little girl asked me ‘Dad, what do you want to accomplish?’ and I said ‘Well, maybe in your lifetime, maybe in mine, we can visit youth homelessness in a museum where it belongs,” Roberts said.

“I want to forever change the way we address it nationally. And we can do that.”

Local agency aims to inform community of their services and success

By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – A teacher calls to report concerns about a student in his class; an entire family sits down to discuss how they can remain a family unit; an adoption is finalized and a young girl is able to accompany her parents to her new home.

All of the above can happen on any given day at Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, along with so many other things the agency does and provides for children and families in our community. And those who work to ensure those services continue to help local families, youth and children want you to know just how much can happen in their building in 24 hours.

“I think for a long time there have been increased calls for people to understand child welfare better,” said Steve Woodman, executive director of Family and Children’s Services.

“It’s been called accountability, and there’s been a real hunger on behalf of society to understand the work we do, and to know that we’re doing good work.”

To that end, Family and Children’s Services, the local Children’s Aid Society (CAS), is launching a 24 hour social media project entitled ‘A Day in the Life.’

Aimed at allowing the public to see everything the local agency does, Family and Children’s Services will offer a fly-on-the-wall perspective over social media.

With video vignettes, photo galleries and infographics rolled out every hour on the hour (and sometimes in between) via Facebook and Twitter, A Day in the Life will take place on Saturday, Sept. 29, and will coincide with the release of the agency’s 2016 Report to the Community. While the identities of those involved in each scenario will be withheld, the project aims to separate the concepts of ‘privacy’ and ‘secrecy,’ the former being of utmost importance, and the

latter a perceived notion widely held about the way CAS branches operate, which the local agency is aiming to dispel.

“So I believe that for many years child welfare has taken privacy so seriously that it has actually created an environment of secrecy. What we’re doing with this is we’re giving people a chance to see what actually goes on inside a child welfare agency during a typical day, and to expand their view of all of the services we provide,” Woodman explained.

“Right now, typically, if you ask people what we do, I think they would say ‘They take children and they put them in foster care, and they do adoptions,’ but the services we provide are much broader and deeper than that. In fact that is only a small piece of the business we do.”

Most of the work that takes place at Family and Children’s Services is actually aimed at helping families, Woodman expressed, and taking children into care is

very small percentage of that work. When a situation arises where I child does need to be taken into care, that child usually goes home of to kin fairly quickly, he explained.

“Most of our work is focused on helping families to overcome whatever difficulty they have, and we do not do so in isolation, but with community partners and with volunteers,” Woodman said.

“We work with community partners in mental health services, addiction services, and other organizations, all aimed at supporting the family unit whenever it is safe to do so.”

Four years ago, Family and Children’s Services created their new vision ‘Children Growing Up in Families,’ something Woodman calls one of the most substantial changes to child welfare in recent history. This vision is aimed at reducing the actual number of children in care, and trying to ensure each child either returned to their family, placed with kin, or placed

with a family they can grow up in as quickly as possible.

That vision has resulted in a remarkable number: 300. This year, the local agency hit the range of having only 300 children in care.

This number speaks to the work the agency has done with their vision in mind, explained John Suart, manager of community relations for Family and Children’s Services.

“We’ve reduced the number of kids in our care in the last decade by 40%, and [being in] the range of 300 children in care, that’s actually 30 per cent less than the number of children in care since we amalgamated in 2012,” Suart said.

“We’re putting more emphasis on prevention, and it shows.”

While Family and Children’s Services will roll out the A Day in the Life campaign on September 29, all of the information, videos and photos will be available online at any time. To find out more, visit www.familyandchildren.ca.

Stone City Strength & Wellness brings fresh fitness approach to east Kingston “We’re trying to offer a one-stop-shop to build a program that’s tailored to the individual while still having the affordability of a group fitness facility.” And in fitness, Deren added, “Consistency is the key. If you offer variety, consistency is easy.”

Kauffman explained that they designed the gym to be big enough to serve a community, but small enough that they could get to know each member.

“I think it’s about the community feeling, the support that you get,” she said. “And it’s tied to the specific coaching that feels like one-on-one attention, even though you’re in a small group class.”

“It’s a pretty unique opportunity,” said Deren. “It’s as close as you can get to personal training in a group fitness facility. Every person who comes to this gym, I know what they’re trying to achieve. I’ll know each members and each member’s path.”

“Everybody is welcome,” explained Kauffman. “Everyone feels included, regardless of what level they’re at.”

While the grand opening is not until Oct. 1,

the gym has already been running programs and accepting clients.

“I was attracted to the idea of getting back into shape,” said new gym member Steve Bramhall. “I appreciated the location of this place and the apparent expertise of the staff.

And the really good hours.”

Another new member, Jessica, joined to exercise with friends.

“A couple of girlfriends and I were talking about keeping each other accountable while working out.” She decided to buy a membership after taking a free trial class. “We thought it offered a little bit more variety than other places we checked out. It’s a brand new facility, so it’s a great facility. And we were really pleased with the coaching, as well. They didn’t go easy on you in the first class. They kicked our butt.”

The grand opening of Stone City Strength and Wellness will take place Saturday, Oct. 1 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The gym promises “a day of fun activities, demos, trial workouts, BBQ and more.” The location is 496 Discovery Avenue, Unit 6 (off Highway 15, about 2 km south of the 401).

MARKET EVALUATION

Top 5 renovation tips to create more space in your home (MS) — As real estate prices continue to climb, the cost to trade up to a larger home is on the upswing across the country, especially as markets remain hampered by tight inventory levels. As a result, more and more Americans are choosing to renovate their current homes instead of relocating. In fact, some forecasts predict that 2015 renovation spending could exceed the record of $324 billion set during the peak of last decade’s housing boom. While the hunt for more square footage can be challenging, homeowners shouldn’t feel like a costly second story or complete addition are the only options.

Here are five great ways to create or optimize space in your existing home.

1. Finish an unfinished basement.

A basement renovation can hold limitless potential and increase the resale value or income potential of your home. Think about the possibilities: a home theater, offi ce, spare bedroom, basement apartment or recreation room.

The key to doing it successfully is to focus on what’s behind the walls, especially since moisture is a common issue in basements.

Choosing the right insulation is critical. Look for products that are vapor permeable, dimensionally stable and mold and moisture resistant. Many contractors use Roxul Comfortboard IS semi-

rigid sheathing board paired with Comfortbatt batt insulation to combat thermal bridging and protect against mold and mildew growth. An added benefi t of this type of mineral wool insulation is that it’s also fire-resistant to 2,150 F. For interior walls and ceilings, Safe ‘n’ Sound insulation is ideal because of its ability to absorb noise and indoor traffic sounds, ensuring your newfound space is a peaceful one.

2. Create a more open-concept feel with light and color. If your home wasn’t blessed with towering windows, installing French doors and pot lights can encourage light to travel more freely, creating the illusion of space. Likewise, choosing a paint color for walls, trim and moldings that is lighter and cooler in tone (think soft grays or blues) will help to reflect light and give the room a more open feel.

3. Remove non-load-bearing walls. Homeowners have the opportunity to rethink the layout of their home by removing nonload-bearing walls.

Removing structurally unnecessary walls can make your whole home feel larger, improve fl ow, lighting and the function of your home.

4. Convert your garage into usable living or work space. For many homeowners, the garage becomes an overflow room for storage –– and is often a walk-in headache. Convert your garage (or a portion of it) into

another living space, guest bedroom or home offi ce. Install carpet and quality thermal insulation such as Roxul Comfortbatt to block outdoor noise and keep in warmth.

5.

Choose furniture and

accessories carefully. Adopt a minimalist’s eye. Begin looking around your home for furniture or accessories that overwhelm the space. Interior designers recommend choosing low-profile or

small-scale furniture for rooms with less square footage. Dual-purpose items, such as ottomans with storage chests inside, are a budgetfriendly way to save on space while staying organized.

Home improvement projects for your fall to-do list Homeowners know that maintaining a home can be a yearround job. No home is immune to wear and tear, and homeowners who want to protect their real estate investments should try to stay two steps ahead to ensure their homes do not succumb to the elements or become outdated and unappealing to prospective buyers.

Fall has become a season that’s synonymous with home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until the leaves begin changing colors to start planning their next projects.

The following are a few items homeowners can add to their fall home improvement to-do lists.

Roof inspection Less precipitation tends to fall during the warmer months than during the late fall and winter. As a result, homeowners may not be aware of leaky roofs until autumn has come and gone. But waiting until winter to inspect the roof can prove disastrous, as weather conditions will not be conducive to inspection and increased precipitation may result in potentially costly damage. Leaky roofs can be easily identifi ed by looking for water stains on interior ceilings. Once you see a stain, you can climb onto the roof to identify the location of the leak and fi x it before winter rains and snowfall turn the problem into something much larger. Inspect your ceilings for signs of leaking after a strong rainfall, and then address any 4

leaks immediately. through cracks around windows and as possible. any stained areas around the grill and Gutter cleaning doorways, and many homeowners Patio cleanup look for cracks in the sidewalk that While some homeowners prefer to who don’t suspect leaks may respond Patios are popular hangouts need to be addressed. delay their gutter cleaning projects by turning up the thermostats in during spring and summer, and that Preparing for fall home until late fall, those whose homes their homes. That can prove quite can result in a lot of wear and tear. improvement projects ahead of time are surrounded by trees may need to expensive over a full winter. Choose Once you store patio furniture for the can help homeowners complete schedule two such projects. Gutters a windy autumn day to place a hand winter, inspect your entire patio to projects in a timely manner and clogged with leaves and other debris by windows and external doorways in determine if it needs any refurbishing. ensures they won’t be forced to brave can cause serious roof damage, and your home to see if you can feel drafts. While certain patio projects may be the winter elements when refurbishing that damage can extend all the way If you can, seal these cracks as soon best left for spring, you can still clean their homes. inside a home. In addition, clogged gutters make great nesting areas for insects or critters. Always stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris into a trash can below. Standing on the roof and leaning over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury. If the gutters are clear when you first examine them in early fall, you can wait until later in the season to give them a complete and thorough cleaning. Once you have finished clearing the gutters, you can use a hose to run water through them and the downspouts to confirm everything is functioning properly.

Window and doorway inspection Before temperatures start dropping once again, homeowners will want to inspect their windows and doorways for leaks. Over time, cracks can develop around windows and doorways, and while such cracks are rarely noticeable when the weather outside is warm, they can be quite obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the start Autumn is a great time to inspect patios that might have endured some wear and tear during the heavy of winter. Cold air can enter a home usage seasons of spring and summer.

What to look for during roof inspections Cold weather can be tough on a home, and perhaps no part of a home is more vulnerable to harsh winter weather than its roof.

Fallen snow can equate to several pounds of pressure placed on a residential roof.

Roofs do not often collapse under heavy snowfall. But adverse winter weather conditions can compromise roofs in other ways.

Water leakage and damage to the roof’s interior are just two of the potentially problematic issues that can arise when roofs are battered by cold, blustery weather. That’s why many home improvement specialists advise homeowners to conduct roof inspections prior to the start of winter.

Many homeowners can conduct their own cursory roof inspections, but they may not know exactly what to look for. The National Roofing Contractors Association says that there are certain key areas to inspect that may reveal some telltale signs of roof damage.

• Curled, cracked or missing shingles may prove troublesome. Inclement weather can test the strength of even the most durable roofs. Even though many roofs are designed to last up to 30 years, some may need to be replaced early, particularly when they have been exposed to harsh weather over a period of years. Individual shingles can be replaced as spot treatments, but if the damage is widespread, a new roof may be necessary.

• Attic leaks or water elsewhere might signal issues with the roof. Figure out if water inside the home is coming from the roof.

Water stains do not always indicate problems with the roofing, but it’s better to be

safe than sorry.

• Look for protective granules wearing off.

If gutters are filled with the sandy granular material that coats roofing shingles, that may be a sign of an aging or damaged roof.

• Inspect flashing. Professional roofers can recognize properly installed flashing, the material that connects the roof to other parts of the house that adjoin the roof, like skylights or a chimneys. Poorly installed flashing can cause leaks. Stains that appear below chimneys or near attic windows may indicate new flashing, and not new shingles, is needed.

• Gutters and downspouts should be in good condition. A roof is the sum of its parts, and that includes downspouts and gutters. If the gutters are clogged or damaged, they cannot direct water away from the house properly. Snow, leaves and other debris needs to be cleared from gutters to help them function at optimal capacity.

• Animals and insects can cause damage, too. It’s not just poor weather that homeowners need to consider with regard to roof damage. Boring insects and animals may cause problems with roofs as well. A roof inspection may shed light on potential pest problems. Holes or nesting materials may indicate that an animal or animals are using the attic as a shelter from the elements.

Get to the root of issues with your home’s roof before they become bigger problems once winter arrives. A thorough inspection can reveal problems that may prove costly if ignored.
