Kingston Transit unveils latest bus service plan to bumpy reception News – Kingston Transit has rolled out its new five year business plan to a bumpy ride at City Hall.

The enhanced service strategy quickly ran into a roadblock when it was presented to a special council meeting Sept. 27.

Councillors were hesitant to endorse part of the plan because it called for an incremental property tax increase of 0.5 percent in each of 2017 and 2018

to help fund it. They’ve sent transit officials back to the drawing board to figure out a way to expand the bus service without drawing more from the tax base.

The city is already facing budgetary pressure to keep next year’s tax hike below 2.5 percent.

The ambitious transit plan aims to build on the rapid tax-subsidized expansion of the previous five years (2011-2015) by adding more buses and drivers, faster service and, ultimately, more riders.

Kingston Transit unveiled their five-year plan to council on Sept. 27

The bus service recently set an alltime record of providing 4.6 million passenger trips a year. The revised goal is to boost annual ridership levels to six million by end of the five-year plan in 2021. Transit officials say this will go a long way to achieving council’s goal of getting 15 percent of all daily commuters onto public transit instead of their cars by the year 2034.

“Achieving this goal will require continued system improvements and significant financial investments in the transit service to grow ridership,” according to transportation services director Sheila Kidd.

The new business plan recommended five phases of service improvements beginning in September 2017. When fully implemented, Kingston Transit would add more than 63,000 service hours and 21 buses to the fleet. The major service improvements include; -introducing a new bus express service on the Montreal Street corridor, -increasing the frequency of service on Express Routes 501 & 502 from 10-minute service to 7 and a half-minute service during weekday peak periods, -increasing the frequency of service on Express Routes 601 & 602 from 15 minutes to 10 minutes during weekday peak periods, -expanding hours of operation on Sundays and holidays on all express

routes, -new and enhanced service in several neighbourhoods.

However, some or all of those enhancements may be in jeopardy with council’s deferral of the tax hike.

Councillors adopted part of the staff recommendation to seek $6.8 million in federal transit infrastructure funding to help purchase buses and other equipment. Council did not want to jeopardize a mid-October deadline to apply for the extra federal cash.

That still leaves transit officials to figure out a way to finance higher operating costs for service improvements.

Transit’s operating budget would climb from $14.2 million in 2016 to $20.9 million in 2021 if all of the recommended changes were adopted – a $6.7 million gap that can’t be made up through extra tax revenues.

That means staff may be forced to scrap, reduce or delay some of the planned improvements. A follow up report will be presented to council at budget talks later this fall.

Kingston Transit’s 2017-2021 business plan also proposes fare hikes.

The strategy includes a general increase every three years, starting in January 2017, to cover inflationary costs (single adult cash fare will rise from $2.75 to $3, adult monthly pass rises from $72 to $76, while the

senior cash fare will jump from $2.50 to $3), plus increasing the affordable transit monthly pass subsidy from 35 percent to 50 percent for low-income passengers, expanding the age category to provide free transit to children up to 12 years old instead of five, expanding the youth age category between 13 and 24, and continuing to provide high school students.

Question of Integrity: Embattled councillor wants independent probe to clear the air He says he’s 100 percent convinced that an independent investigation will exonerate him, and the 7-6 vote will stand.

Council is expected to decide on hiring an investigator at its Oct. 4 meeting. It would be funded by taxpayers.

“I don’t think it’s justified for taxpayers to foot the bill but something has to be done,” Candon added.

As for the website that was at the root of the complaints, Candon says it was created by his business partner about “10 months ago” as a way to market themselves as the ‘Kingston Condo Kings.’ The homemade website, with links to local development projects including IN8’s Princess Street condo, was soon abandoned, Candon explained. “It was kind of cheesy and I asked him to squash it.”

The site, however, was not taken off line until confl ict concerns were raised just prior to when the controversial hi-rise application appeared at council for a crucial vote. Candon blamed himself for a “stupid” decision not to de-activate the site but says that mistake, in itself, is not grounds for a conflict of interest. “The optics looked bad but my lawyer told me that doesn’t mean

there’s a conflict.”

Candon later sought independent legal advice just prior to the Sept.

20 vote, where he publicly declared: “I will be voting on this matter this evening.”

Councillors excited about ‘legacy’ west end waterfront purchase

By Bill Hutchins

News – It may not be open to the public for a few years, but Kingston politicians say their recent purchase of 7.2 hectares (18.6 acres) of scenic west end waterfront will be a “lega-

cy” for the community.

Councillors spent $1.55 million to buy pasture land at 1243 Front Road across from Norman Rogers Airport, just a couple of months after it was put up for sale by a Kingston couple who had owned the property since the 1960s.

A map of the property recently purchased by the City of Kingston at 1243 Front Road.

“That’s a legacy piece of land. It’s a huge piece of waterfront with an incredible view,” said Coun. Adam Candon.

The city acquired the site for parkland despite intense interest from private residential developers.

“These are opportunities that if we get the chance, and we don’t jump at them, it’s not going to be there for long and somebody else is going to snap it up,” added Coun. Ryan Boehme.

The site, nestled between two private properties near the southern entrance to Lemoine Point, has 300 metres of Lake Ontario shoreline.

West end councillor Laura Turner, whose district includes the newly-purchased site, says anyone driving, walking or cycling along Front Road past the airport can appreciate the area’s natural beauty.

“I think it’s awesome. As a kid growing up I used to ride my bike by it. It’s a great piece of land and we’re very fortunate to have acquired it instead of a developer.”

So far, the city hasn’t unveiled what it plans to do with the property but several councillors ex-

pressed interest in holding a public visioning exercise to determine best uses for it. They say the municipal purchase fits perfectly with the new Waterfront Master Plan, which recommends acquiring this and other private waterfront lands as they become available for future public enjoyment.

“Our goal is to maintain and improve the usage of our waterfront. We don’t know what the plan is yet but we know the potential is there,” said Coun. Candon.

Coun. Boehme agrees the quick-decision purchase will benefit residents as the city looks to expand its waterfront trail network. “They’re not making any more land, especially waterfront.

It’s so valuable for the city. Even if we can’t link it properly right now there’s potential to do that in the future.”

The public park space theme may have swayed the former own-

ers to sell to the municipality rather than private developers, who could’ve turned the land into a subdivision, according to Cushman & Wakefield, the commercial realtor that helped to negotiate the sale.

Veteran realtor Martin Skolnick says the site was marketed for its scenic lakeside vista and upscale subdivision appeal with room for as many as 70 homes.

In 30 years of selling property around Kingston, Skolnick also said he’s never seen this much waterfront land come on the market in one sale.

It’s expected the field will remain fenced off until the city decides on a timetable and funding plan to allow public access. But it has another use for now.

“We have built in natural lawnmowers. I’ve seen cows grazing on the property,” added Coun.

Turner.

In Our Opinion

Time to give thanks we look forward to, as papers still need to be produced in the weeks following a holiday. The day off just means we have five days of work to do in four, but nevertheless, the day off is still appreciated.

Thanksgiving also comes with delicious food and while this is true of It is officially fall. Sure, some days many major holidays, things like butare still warm and even a bit humid, ternut squash, pumpkin pie and even but the mornings and evenings are apple pie to some extent just seem crisp and cool – perfect for sleeping – more fi tting during Thanksgiving and the leaves are starting to change than any other holiday.

Unlike Christmas and Easter, colour.

As I explained in my column last Thanksgiving also comes without year around this time, autumn is my heavy commercialization, the stress favourite season (a claim my col- of gift buying or gift hiding and withleague, Craig, provided an excellent out religious undertones. For me, all counter to in his own column last of these things just make Christmas year). I love many things about fall, and Easter stressful and harder to but I especially love Thanksgiving. enjoy, especially the gift buying. I To me, and I am sure many will agree, hate trying to figure out what to get it is the most laid-back and in many people at Christmas and even at Easter, I’ve always found egg hunts a bit ways the most enjoyable holiday.

To start, Thanksgiving comes with stressful.

In addition to all of this, the the perks of getting a long weekend and day off work. For some, like weather for thanksgiving is a huge those of us in the newspaper world, plus too. With Christmas the weather this day off is not really something is either really cold or unseasonably

warm, which just makes it feel weird.

For Easter it is always in the midst of waiting for spring, and usually messy and rainy. But with Thanksgiving there is potential for the weather to be warm, but not too warm and there is always the promise of beautiful fall foliage. What’s not to love?

As an added bonus, my birthday always falls around Thanksgiving and on the year I was born it was actually Thanksgiving Day (my parents had a lot to be thankful for that year). Perhaps this is part of the reason I am so fond of Thanksgiving and always have been.

On a cheesier note, I also like that Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks for the people and things we are fortunate to have in life.

This aspect comes with most holidays, Christmas in particular, but at Thanksgiving it is emphasized even more and I really enjoy that.

So this year, remember all the pluses that come with Thanksgiving and take the time to give thanks for family and friends and of course pumpkin pie, you know I will.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Transit, the way to go On Sept. 6, the City of Kingston announced that the frequency of two Kingston Express bus routes will be increased to every 10 minutes during peak hours. This is a positive step in the right direction in order to encourage drivers to choose transit.

The high percentage of private auto drivers is an issue especially in medium and small size cities. Statistics Canada studies show that in proportion to their population large metropolitan areas have four times more public transit use than medium sized cities like Kingston.

Our outdated Transportation Master Plan recommends $500 million capital costs over 20 years for keeping up with the “traffic volume demand� by widening roads and

building unsustainable infrastructure such as the third crossing. In this document the alternative approaches, such as encouraging transit and active transportation, are marginalised in this unambitious plan.

High percentage of auto users is caused by several factors including the physical characteristics of our neighbourhoods, their distance from city centers, people’s income, attitude and lifestyle.

According to Statistics Canada “only about one-third of residents in very high-density neighbourhoods were at the wheel for all of their trips during the day, compared with almost two-thirds of those who lived in very low-density neighbourhoods.�

from the city centres drove their cars three times more than those who lived less than 5 kilometers from the city centres. Central neighbourhoods in larger cities usually have a mixed land-use allowing residents to more frequently choose public transit or active transportation.

Despite the diffi culties that discourage use of transit or active transportation, Kingston has had two successful experiences in increasing ridership by offering free bus rides to high school students and general public.

In 2014 Grade 12 students were included in the bus free program.

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, October 6, 2016

It may be hard to think about right now, especially given the amount of sun and Vitamin D all of us were exposed to this summer, but the darker months are coming. With those darker months comes an inevitable lack of this essential vitamin.

A recently released report by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) in the United Kingdom is urging everyone to take vitamin D supplements, which according to the Vitamin D Society of Canada, should give Canadians a reason to start looking at their own vitamin D intake levels.

According to a release from the Vitamin D Society of Canada, much like the UK, Canada shares the same sunshine limitations, which means because of the northern latitude of both countries, vitamin D producing sunlight can only be captured by our skin between the months of May and October. This leaves Canadians and Brits in the cold and with declining vitamin D levels in the fall and winter.

The downside of low vitamin D levels means that bones can become thin and brittle; vitamin D plays an important role in regulating the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body making it essential for bone health and more.

Statistics Canada reports that up to 12 million Canadians — 35 per cent of us — do not meet vitamin D blood level requirements. That number rises to more than 40 per cent in the winter.

The summer sun allows most Canadians and Brits to naturally generate adequate levels of vitamin D, but according to the Vitamin D Society, come winter, that won’t be possible. The northern latitude of both countries physically prevents vitamin D generating sunlight to reach us. The solution to keeping levels normal in the winter, however, is from vitamin D supplements or artificial UVB exposure.

This seems like a logical solution, especially given the alternatives. If taking a supplement makes all of us happier and gives us stronger bones then why not?

The Vitamin D Society encourages Canadians to use their time in the midday summer sun wisely to stock up on the sunshine vitamin but to remember to use common sense and not let skin burn.

To learn more about vitamin D, please visit www.vitamindsociety.org.

Along with all of the health services, holistic information and spiritual guidance, the Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness also offers an element of fun and entertainment, with drum circles, guest speakers, and a traditional indigenous feast. Watson urged people to bring their own ‘feast bundle,’ including a cup, bowl, plate and utensils – something her organization, SOADI, puts a strong emphasis on through their ‘Walk the Talk’ program.

“The feast bundles promote being environmentally friendly,” Watson said.

“As well, we had noticed that sometimes at these events, the food available wasn’t always healthy. So we developed a nutrition policy and it grew into a whole program we call Walk the Talk,” continued Amanda Lipinski, the program director for SOADI, noting that the program typically means having healthy food options, access to physical activity, and smoking cessation programs for staff and community members.

“We asked other indigenous organizations working within the health sector to sign on to ‘Walk the Talk.’ So it’s a positive step in the right direction, just getting people on board to ‘Walk the Talk,’ especially in frontline work and promoting wellness and trying to help others – we can’t help others if we’re not well ourselves.”

The second annual Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness will take place on Friday, Oct. 14 from 1 to 7 p.m. at Kingston Community Health Centre. All are welcome, and the event is free of charge.

“We all have to work together to establish this goal of wellness,” said Watson. “It is really nice because it is an opportunity for all of us to partner and advocate all of the different programs and services within the Kingston area that the indigenous community can access.”

Hip song lyrics considered for stone tribute in Market Square

By Bill Hutchins

News – The City of Kingston is giving residents a choice of what they’d like to see inscribed on a commemorative stone in Market Square to pay tribute to The Tragically Hip’s memorable Aug. 20 hometown concert.

The city has selected lyrics from two of the Hip’s most iconic songs to place on the stone. They are: “…everybody was in it from miles around…” from Blow at High Dough, or “We danced the sidewalk clean…” from New Orleans is Sinking.

“The city has consulted the band for their support of both of these options and now we want to hear from

you!” according to a news release.

The two-question public survey – available through the city’s website or its customer service phone line closes at the end of October 12.

Along with the chosen lyric will be the words: “The Tragically Hip, A National Celebration, August 20, 2016.”

Councillors voted on a motion Sept. 20, exactly one month after the memorable event, to place a permanent marker in the square, where an estimated 25,000 people gathered to see a live-stream from Rogers K-Rock Centre of the band’s fi nal concert in their Man Machine Poem tour.

“It’s something to immortalize that

whole experience and Kingston for being at the heart of it,” said Coun.

Ryan Boehme.

Councillors waived their own commemoration policy, which states that an event will only be considered for commemoration at least 10 years after its conclusion. Councillors decided to make an exception in recognition of the band’s artistic and philanthropic contributions, and following news that lead singer Gord Downie has terminal brain cancer.

“It’s The Tragically Hip,” remarked Coun. Jim Neill, when asked why the policy exception was made.

Many believe the band’s Aug. 20 televised performance may be its last.

The performance attracted a national audience of 11.7 million people.

In addition to an engraved stone - an idea that was initially inspired through social media and then formalized in a motion by the mayor - a page will be added in the Kingston Remembers history flipbook within Market Square.

The overall cost of the tribute isn’t known, but Mayor Bryan Paterson doesn’t think it’ll be more than a few thousand dollars. The city had already invested $150,000 for the concert night big screen in Market Square. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime historical moment for everybody. People came to Kingston for this event and acknowledging that now is important.”

It may not be the only tribute to

the band’s memorable show.

There’s also a grassroots campaign calling for the installation of a sign along Highway 401 to let travellers know about Kingston’s home-

town band.

“We received e-mails suggesting that a 401 sign – Kingston, Home of The Tragically Hip – may be a nice gesture as well,” said Coun. Neill.

Kristie Kendall had horse sense as far back as Kindergarten. That’s when she started painting.

“I remember being in Kindergarten and finger painting with yellow paint,” she said. “Remember that big glossy paper? I figured out that if you put together ovals and rectangles, you could draw a horse.”

And she did draw a horse. She never stopped. Today, the artist creates beautiful horse portraits.

I first saw her work several years ago at a photography exhibit featuring horses. Kendall was invited to exhibit some of her horse paintings during the show.

Although untrained in fine art, Kendall did graduate from the graphic design program at St.

Lawrence College in 1999.

“I never studied art,” she said. “I took one art class in high school, and I took Introduction to Fine Art with David Perkins, a drawing teacher at St. Lawrence College.”

Why paint horses?

“I’ve been obsessed with horses my whole life,” she said. “I got my first pony when I was ten.”

The only time she hasn’t had a horse was when she was in college and when she first became a mother.

Kendall loves rural life. She and her husband, along with their three children, live on a farm north of Kingston. She doesn’t have to look far for subjects to paint. As we chatted, she pointed out the window.

“There are three [horses] right there,” she said. “There are two more across the road.”

When her children were young, her painting took a back seat.

“With three busy kids and a farm to run, there was never enough time. As they are getting older now, I’m able to make time for it again.”

Queen’s student finds winning blend of fine art and the art of wine

came, Baskin was one of the three student artists the Vaughn-based winery selected as winners, each of their pieces destined to end up on multiple bottles of wine.

“I’m so excited!” Baskin said.

“It honestly still seems surreal to me.”

Baskin was named a runner-up finalist, and awarded $2,500 for her piece, Presence of a Nightwalker. But the bigger award will be having her work viewed by hundreds of people as the pick up a bottle of cabernet from Magnotta Winery later this year. Baskin entered Magnotta’s Student Art

So the characteristics of the wine it said were it was full-bodied, offdry, bold, and intense,” Baskin explained.

to visually see.

“So I was just inspired by the idea that a room could actually be full of something beyond our dimension,” said Baskin, a life-long artist whose career began while watching her grandmother paint and illustrate as a child.

Baskin was joined by artist Michael Alexander Carrozza, an Ontario College of Art and Design graduate, and Olivia Brouwer, the grand prize winner and University of Toronto graduate, and inducted into Magnotta’s massive art collection the winery sources from to label its wines. The relationship between the winery and the art and artists that have appeared on more than 180 wines Magnotta has created began with the winery’s founder and CEO, Rossana Magnotta. When Magnotta was first launching the business, she didn’t want to spend more money hiring a graphic designer to create a label for her first wine. Instead, she turned to the local artist behind a painting that hung on her wall – one she’d always felt an inspiration from, Magnotta expressed. From there, the connection between Magnotta Winery and art blossomed into a unique signature style the company is known for. For Magnotta herself, it’s a relationship she holds very close to her heart.

“If I didn’t have a business to run, I would spend all of my time with young people like Kelly and the other artists who entered the competition,” Magnotta said.

“I really feel for students, especially art students, and paving the road for them for the future. It’s a very competitive, very difficult segment of work that I wanted to be able to give them a kick-start into.”

For Baskin, it’s a kick-start in the direction her dreams have led her since she was a child.

“I’ve known I wanted to be an artist since kindergarten. When we got that sheet saying ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’ I put ‘artist,’” Baskin said with a laugh. “I am so passionate about my work. Getting this appreciation from others… it’s just huge.”

MPP Kiwala’s ‘ticket bots’ Private Members’ Bill passes second reading with unanimous support

By Tori Stafford

tstaff ord@metroland.com

News – The ability to access tickets to concerts, games and other events may no longer be riddled with the issues posed by ‘ticket bots’ if local MPP Sophie Kiwala gets her way.

On Thursday, Sept. 29, the Private Members’ Bill Kiwala presented a week earlier was passed unanimously after livelyyet-positive debate at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The Liberal representative of Kingston and the Islands presented her Private Members’ Bill, Bill 22: The Ticket Speculation Amendment Act (Purchase and Sale Requirements) in the Ontario Legislature on Thursday, Sept. 22. The act is aimed to prohibit the use of ‘ticket bots,’ the software that bypasses security measures used in online ticket sales.

“I was inspired, of course, by the Tragically Hip concert. It’s obviously a concert that had an absolutely massive demand on it, and, as a result of that demand, quite a number of tickets

were snatched up,” Kiwala said just prior to Thursday’s Legislative Assembly, noting that many members of the community voiced concern over the lack of access to the Aug. 20 concert for Kingstonians.

“It was also felt by a number of people that the tickets went for prices significantly higher than their face value, and this was seen as a significant problem.”

Kiwala said the issues surrounding securing tickets to The Tragically Hip’s final show here in Kingston are not isolated incidents, and that the problem of software designed to infi ltrate online ticket sales and purchase mass quantities of tickets – which are then sold illegally with a massive hike in pricing – has been going on for a long time.

“That’s what’s really frustrating,” said Kiwala.

“So the primary objective of this bill is consumer protection.

It’s about building more access to tickets and it’s about shutting down unscrupulous sellers who have no investment in a venue, they’re not paying taxes, [and]

they don’t have any investment in the artists involved.”

Kiwala admitted the process these ‘bots’ use is very complicated, as would be finding a means to shut them down, noting that there are online ticket sales companies that are entirely legitimate, and not at all what the bill aims to protect from.

“It’s the unscrupulous sellers that do nothing else but use technology to turn around ticket sales for a massive profit with no investment,” she said of the main issue the bill aims to remedy.

“It’s about building capacity and fair access to tickets, increasing cultural opportunities for our communities.”

Kiwala said the response she’s received since presenting her Private Members’ Bill has been “massive and very interesting,” and that she’s received response from many of her constituents as well as the local music community.

That positive response was refl ected at Queen’s Park, where Bill 22 was sent to the general government committee.

1300 Bath Rd, Frontenac Mall

613-547-3504 www.burnhamoptical.ca

“In that arena, there’s an opportunity for stakeholders to come in and express their interest in the bill, either their support or the lack thereof,” Kiwala explained.

“We will have an opportunity to hear from as many people are as able to respond.”

Following the review by the general government committee, the bill will be presented for a third reading, but it is too early yet to know when that might take place.

“We will just have to wait and see what happens,” said Kiwala.

Dia de los Muertos celebrates life and death Continued from page 18

Dia de los Muertos activities will be found in the Tett’s Malting Tower as well as in the Kingston School of Dance on the third fl oor. The Rehearsal Hall and the Creativity Studios on the second fl oor will be in full swing. Rivera Belsham said that on the first fl oor, the Tett’s Activity Room will probably be used.

“Despite the limited space last year, it was a beautiful event,” said Rivera Belsham. “It was truly representative of diversity. The only problem was that it was jam packed and too busy. So this year we’ll have a lot more space.”

The festival is about a community coming together.

“A common thing is the altar,” said Rivera Belsham. “You’ll fi nd them everywhere in Hispanic cultures. It’s about honouring people who have passed from this life. You’ll have people put flowers and photos of people and reminders of things they liked to do.

There’s lots of music and then, at certain times, silence.”

In the common area of sacred space, the altar, Tett Centre visitors can place mementos to honour a loved one who has passed away.

The altar area will be hosted in the second floor Rehearsal Hall of the Tett Centre.

Rivera Belsham, who specializes in hospice and end-of-life nursing care, said that in our culture we shy away from the concept of death. After a person dies, we are expected to get over the death quickly. But grieving takes a long time, and, without allowing ourselves to fully experience the loss, we have difficulty living a full life.

Dia de los Muertos is about accepting the loss and honoring those who have gone before us.

“The festival relates to everyone,” said Rivera Belsham. “It really is a celebration of life with music, dance, food and decorations. This is an opportunity for young and old to come together to bring lightness to the shared reality of mortality, honouring those we’ve lost, recognizing their contribution to our lives, and celebrating the lives we continue to live today.”

Rivera Belsham said that this year she has partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association.

“They are very supportive,” she said. “For me, that is very meaningful.

Dia de los Muertos is very much about honouring people who have died and our ancestors and family and friends who have gone on from this life. We are celebrating life. Being aware of the subject of death can be touchy for many people as it can trigger many feelings.”

She explained that she hopes to bring an awareness of community services.

She serves in a mental health nursing interest group.

“The group recognizes the connection of grief, bereavement and mental health.”

Rivera Belsham wants anyone in the community to feel welcome to attend Dia de los Muertos.

“A person of any religion and faith can attend. It’s completely open. Death

and life affects all of us. The tradition itself is tied closely to indigenous Mexican roots. To me, the focus of the event is on the arts and culture.”

She said there will be activities similar to last year for all members of the family.

“There will be lots of arts activities for children,” she said. “Kids will love the piñata.

We also plan on having workshops leading up to the festival, so people can get familiar with different parts of the event. People can make altars before the festival and bring them and have them displayed at the event.”

There will be more than a dozen poets taking part.

“The poets will be where most of the altars are going to be, in a more somber area in the Tett Rehearsal Hall.”

The music this year will again include a Mariachi band, indigenous singing, John Torres and an integrated group including the Kingston Drum Circle and some Mexican singers.

“If people have gone to Mexico or if they’ve heard of Dia de los Muertos and want to experience the traditional festival for real, this will be an opportunity to do that.”

You’ll have an opportunity to witness and take photos of dancers from the Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project. Around 6 p.m., ballerinas will enter the various rooms in procession in full ballet gear, including tutus. To honor those who have gone before, dancers will be carrying photos of ballerinas and male ballet dancers who have passed from this life. They will place the images in the sacred space that is created for the event.

The day will end with the community drum circle and community singing.

If you would like to volunteer at the event, contact Yessica Rivera Belsham at diadelosmuertoskignston@gmail.com.

Youth Diversion to launch pilot project in life skills for at-risk youth

By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – An investment from the RBC Foundation has allowed a local non-profit organization to develop a new pilot project supporting at-risk youth in Kingston and the area.

RBC Foundation donated $11,000 to Youth Diversion, resulting in the organization’s School and Non-Academic Program (SNAP) Life Skills pilot project,

which will support youth aged 15 to 18 no longer attending school.

“These are young people who have, for various reasons, because of things getting in the way or perhaps them having some challenges in a regular school setting, are on longterm suspensions or have been expelled,” said Shawn Quigley, executive director of Youth Diversion.

“This pilot project aims to deal with the main things, from our

of its employees to work with the program’s students in the area of financial literacy.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever been in the RBC downtown, it’s a very big, beautiful bank, and that can be very intimidating for a 16-year-old kid to go in and maybe open up a bank account,” Quigley expressed.

perspective, that get in the way of a young person being successful.”

The SNAP Life Skills pilot project will address some of the necessities of living successfully, such as financial literacy, food security, employment readiness, team building and community engagement. Along with RBC Foundation’s financial donation, the organization will also be providing some

“The idea is to take these young people to where the activities are taking place and help break down the barriers, and help them overcome whatever anxieties they have.”

Youth Diversion is launching a new pilot project under their School and Non-Academic Program (SNAP) banner, which supports area youths no longer attending school due to long-term suspensions or expulsions. The pilot project, SNAP Life Skills, will bring together a number of community organizations to address some the barriers at-risk youth face, such as job preparedness, food security, financial literacy and team building.

Youth Diversion to launch pilot project in life skills for at-risk youth Continued from page 20

Learning about budgeting, saving, and basic banking is only one element the pilot project will tackle. Teaming up with other community partners, Youth Diversion will offer the students in the SNAP Life Skills pilot project the opportunity to work with those in the community who specialize in the other areas the project aims to educate in.

“We knew we could administer the program, but we thought ‘let’s reach out to RBC and Loving Spoonful and ReStart and Traditional Excellence, and ask these folks to bring their expertise to the table, to provide these kids with those added tools to help them be more successful,” Quigley said.

Loving Spoonful, a community group that facilitates access to fresh, healthy foods, will work with the students in the area of food security, Quigley explained.

The students will work with those from Loving Spoonful to learn about identifying, purchasing and preparing nutritious and satisfying meals. ReStart Employment Services will work with the students in addressing job readiness, from preparing resumes and learning to deal with the anxieties of job interviews, to helping them find appropriate clothing for the workplace. In terms of team- and confidence-building, Tradi-

tional Excellence will work with students on leadership skills and engaging in performance, addressing how to build healthy relationships and the ability to recognize it is OK to be vulnerable.

A unique aspect of the program will see the students given a budget, which they will use to purchase food items and clothing for work under the guidance of a mentor.

The pilot project will run with about 15 students over six weeks beginning in early November. While many of the students will be referred to the program through Youth Diversion itself, the organization is open to referrals through the public, Quigley said, and is also looking for volunteer mentors.

Without the aid of volunteers and community partners – especially the RBC Foundation – running the pilot project simply couldn’t happen, Quigley expressed.

“It was amazing to see that altruistic approach that other organizations had when we approached them to see if they’d be willing to do this with us,” he said.

“It’s all about coming together and sharing our expertise to help at-risk youth overcome whatever barriers they may be between them and successful living.”

Drury School for the Deaf (formerly the Ontario School for the Deaf, Milton) (“Drury�), the Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf (formerly the Ontario Institute for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb and the Ontario School for the Deaf) (“Sir James Whitney�), and the Robarts School for the Deaf (“Robarts�), collectively referred to as the “Schools�. It involves anyone who was a student at Drury since 1963 to the present, Sir James Whitney since 1938 to the present, and Robarts since 1973 to the present and certain of their family members. If you know a student of the Schools who cannot read this notice, please share this information with them.

If you are within this group, you have a choice of whether to stay in the Class or not, and you must decide this now.

What is this case about?

The lawsuit says the Province of Ontario failed to properly care for and protect people who attended or resided at the Schools.

The lawsuit says that students were emotionally, physically, and psychologically traumatized by their experiences at the Schools. The Province of Ontario denies these claims. The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiff or the Province of Ontario is right.

Are you included?

You are included in this lawsuit if: r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU %SVSZ BU BOZ UJNF CFUXFFO and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU 4JS +BNFT 8IJUOFZ BU BOZ UJNF between 1938 and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU 3PCBSUT BU BOZ UJNF CFUXFFO and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BSF UIF QBSFOUT TQPVTFT DIJMESFO PS TJCMJOHT PG TPNFPOF and who is included in the lawsuit and who attended or was in residence at one of the Schools between 1978 and August 23, 2016 r ZPV BSF BO FTUBUF USVTUFF GPS B QFSTPO XIP XBT B TUVEFOU PS family member of a student who is included in the lawsuit and that person was living on or after August 10, 2013 Who are the lawyers who represent the class?

Instead, the lawyers will be paid only if there is recovery of money or other benefits for the Class. If there is success, the lawyers would either receive a portion of recovery or be paid by the Province of Ontario.

What are your options?

Stay In the Class Action: You do not have to do anything to stay in the class action. You will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you will not be able to sue independently the Province of Ontario about the legal claims in this case. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to ask for a share.

Staying in this Class will not impact the residence or services and supports received by class members from community based agencies which are funded by the Province of Ontario.

Local entrepreneur takes company to Dragon’s Den

By Tori Stafford tstaff ord@metroland.com

News – With fi ve years of exemplary success under its belt, Kingston- and Toronto-based company, RateHub is entering the Dragon’s lair with the hope of further expanding their business.

RateHub, an online tech company, which compares mortgage rates, credit card deals, savings accounts and Guaranteed Insurance Certifi cates (GICs), was started in 2010 by Kingston native Alyssa Furtado, and attracts over three million Canadians annually. Since then,

RateHub has boasted 100 per cent revenue growth year-over-year, and aggregates thousands of rates from hundreds of fi nancial providers. The company aims to make comparing and understanding financial products as quick and simple as possible, helping Canadians save money while securing quality and beneficial products.

But on Thursday, Oct. 5, the company will enter an entirely new arena, as Furtado, CEO and co-founder, will take the stage of Dragon’s Den on the show’s season premiere. RateHub will seek a $1 million investment for 10 per cent of the company, representing a $10 million valuation, Furtado explained.

“We’ll do between $8-10 million in revenue this year, and our big ques-

tion is how do we get to $100 million in the next five years,” Furtado said.

“We know we need to invest to continue our momentum and our acceleration, and we thought that pitching to the Dragons was a great opportunity to see if there’s appetite for investment.”

Local entrepreneur takes company to Dragon’s Den Continued from page 28

Along with Furtado, two members of the company’s founding team are also from Kingston and the area: Chris Richard, chief technology officer, and KerriLynn McAllister, chief marketing officer. RateHub is hoping to expand their services to include insurance rates and chequing accounts, something an investment from one of the four Dragons could help to expedite.

Furtado said the prospect of meeting with the Dragons and demonstrating RateHub’s website for the business moguls and views at home is nothing short of “nerve wracking,” but certainly an exciting opportunity.

“As everybody sees in the episodes, you have to walk across the top and then down the stairs to the stage, and you’re walking out to a very intimidating judging panel,” Furtado expressed with a laugh.

“And any time you’re pitching your business or talking about your business to anyone, you are a little bit vulnerable, right? You’re inviting them to give you all of their thoughts on why your business would make a good investment, and why it is or isn’t a good idea.”

Furtado explained that RateHub is already expanding in terms of software engineering, and is currently hiring at their Kingston location inside the Innovate Kingston site at The Boathouse in the city’s downtown core.

Good news day– MTO issues RFQ for Wolfe and Amherst Island Ferries

by Margaret Knott

two new ferries, one 40 car ferry for the municipally operated Amherst It was a long hot summer without Island Ferry Service and one 75 car a news update about the Wolfe Island vessel for the Wolfe Island Ferry serFerry and Docking Improvements vice. MTO issued a request for qualiEA . So it was news indeed to be in- fi cations (RFQ) for the design-build formed that the Ministry of Trans- of the two ferries promised some portation (MTO) continues to move months ago. It is first of two stages in forward in the process of procuring the procurement process and interested bidders have 6 weeks (September 27- November 8) to respond. “These vessels are not part of the current To: Waterfront property owners in the vicinity of Big Clear Wolfe Island EA, Lake, Beaver Lake, Lonsdale Mill Pond, and Bellrock Mill Pond but the project is related,� MTO’s Quinte Conservation will be conducting the annual removal Heather Roeof stop logs at the following structures on or after Monday, buck, Regional October 10, 2016.

the ongoing Environmental Assessment for the Wolfe island ferry dock improvement project. That EA is scheduled to be completed in 2017.

The procurement process to acquire the design-build fi rm could take up to 10 months. When a short list of qualifying shipyards is developed, the second stage of the procurement process, the (RFP) Request for Proposals will be issued. Designing and building the new ferry for Amherst Island is expected to take approximately 24 months, while the 75 car ferry for Wolfe Island will take an additional 12 months. It is expected the contract will be awarded in late spring 2017.

Public input into the design of the new ferries is also an important part of the RFQ process. MTO has posted separate passenger surveys on ‘Survey Monkey’ for the two vessels, according to Roebuck. “I have attached the link below and I encourage you to complete the Wolfe Island survey before October 27.� While comments from the public are encouraged during both processes, Roebuck noted that the ferry procurement process has no Public Information Centres to gather information. “So the WI Passenger Survey is our opportunity to gather input into the needs and wants of the ferry users.

Please forward the link to the survey to anyone interested in the new vessel. We welcome all suggestions and opinions. Of particular interest are

responses from those users who have accessibility challenges.� (https://www. surveymonkey.com/r/SWJKGB9) 2. Wolfe Island Ferry Line Enforcement. The question of Wolfe Island ferry boarding particularly at daily peak times (which seems to be most times on certain days, and all weekends,) has now become an issue significant enough that at a meeting recently a resident suggested that the only fair way to deal with the ferry line parking problems is to move the ferry out of the village to Dawson Point. An expression of sheer frustration no doubt, not only for ferry users but for the township as well. A recent township notice stated that given the lack of compliance with the |Parking By-Law regulations, that Frontenac By-Law Enforcement will come to the island more often to assist in rectifying the situation, leading to fines.

The township has provided clear signage outlining ferry line parking rules all along the route through Marysville, with the route itself and the spaces, including the no parking spaces, all clearly identified.

Mayor Doyle spoke of ongoing disregard for the rules. He said residents are increasingly unhappy with people parking cars wherever they please in the lineup. “This leads to people queuing up behind that car leaving spaces further up, with people then butting into the line to fill them,

rather than going to the end of the line as they should. That results in someone at the end of the line not getting on the ferry, who otherwise would have,� he said. Following the rules means a more efficient and safer loading process and help keep the ferry on schedule.

Around Town: *The Frontenac Islands website is now up and running. A recent letter posted on the WI Network face book site states: ‘The School Enrolment/School Capacity Committee (SE/SCC) of the Limestone District School Board voted to approve reaching out to the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board (ALCDSB) to explore the possibility of a joint-use facility on Wolfe Island’ (declining enrollment). There was a previous arrangement between Marysville Public School and Sacred Heart Catholic School. The decision to initiate the consultation has to be approved at the next regular ALCDSB meeting scheduled for Oct. 19, 2016.

Make a home offer they can’t refuse Buying a home can be very competitive. A well-maintained property with all of the bells and whistles that today’s buyers demand figures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers can’t refuse.

Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept.

• Get preapproved for a mortgage. Sellers’ patience may wear thin with buyers who are not preapproved for a mortgage when making their offers. Preapproval can speed up the selling process, as buyers won’t need to secure financing afterward. When sellers receive multiple offers on their homes, they are more likely to sell their homes to buyers whose financing is already lined up as opposed to buyers who have to scramble to secure loans.

• Establish a strong rapport with the sellers. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to develop emotional attachments to their homes, and buyers should keep that in mind when viewing a home and negotiating their purchase. Sellers won’t want to hear about how ugly a home is or how much money buyers will have to spend to bring the home up to their standards.

While buyers must weigh such variables when making their offers, keep it as cordial as possible and avoid any inflammatory remarks during the negotiation process.

2

Sellers may be more likely to accept a lower offer from a buyer they like than a higher offer from someone they don’t like.

• Don’t delay an inspection.

When a property is drawing significant interest, buyers can set their offers apart from the rest by arranging for a near-immediate inspection. Some buyers may want sellers to give them a couple of weeks to arrange for an inspection, and that may irritate sellers who want to sell their homes as quickly as possible. Have an inspector ready to perform an inspection within days of making your offer.

• Include an escalation clause.

When making an offer on a home, prospective buyers can include an escalation clause. Such a clause acknowledges that a potential buyer is willing to increase his or her initial offer by a predetermined amount to exceed any bids that are higher than that initial offer. When sellers trigger such clauses, they are often required to show the other offers they received that triggered the escalation clause. Escalation clauses show the sellers you really want the house while keeping potential buyers’ hopes of buying the home alive when the bids are competitive.

Prospective home buyers may find themselves in some stiff competition upon finding their dream homes. But a few simple strategies can make their offers stand out and increase their chances of buying their ideal homes.

Make the most of your home appraisal When homeowners think about renovating their properties, many fi rst need to secure some funding to fi nance such projects. Some may tap into the equity of their homes by refi nancing an existing mortgage, while others may apply for home equity loans. Taking the latter approach may require certain steps, including an assessment of how much the home and property is worth.

Home appraisals compare your home to neighboring properties to determine your home’s current market value. Homeowners can facilitate the process by having certain information readily available for the appraiser.

When preparing for appraisers, homeowners should consider and collect the following information: • If your home was built on the largest lot in the community.

• If you have made significant upgrades since it was last appraised, such as installing a new roof or siding. Don’t overlook smaller renovations, like extra insulation added or sealing drafty windows, which can increase a home’s value.

• Proof that you have used sustainable resources or if you participated in any energy-savings programs.

Naturally, any expansion projects, such as adding another bedroom or extending the footprint of the home, should be mentioned.

A real estate appraiser is a certified, licensed professional who will do his or her best to determine the value of your home. The appraisal provides banks with information that can tell

loan offi cers if the house is worth the loan amount. Expect to pay a fee for the appraisal, which is generally included in your closing costs.

The appraiser gathers information for the appraisal report from a number of sources, but the process often begins with a physical inspection of the property, both inside and out.

He or she also will compare your home against a few others in the neighborhood, which are known as comparables, or comps. Appraisals will be based on recent prices of comparable properties as well as other factors.

Apart from the improvements done to the home, there are other ways to get a higher appraisal amount. The appraiser may consider the overall maintenance of the home and property. It is wise to consider curb appeal and ensure the home is clean and maintained when the appraiser arrives. Minor repairs or common maintenance can impress the appraiser. Removing clutter and cleaning up the home’s interior can make the home appear larger, possibly increasing its value as a result.

It may be worth it to invest some more money into the property before having an appraisal done. A study sponsored by the National Association of Realtors says wood fl oors, landscaping and an enclosed garage can lead to a more favorable appraisal.

An appraiser will spend roughly 30 minutes in a home. Try to give that person space to do his or her job. Following the appraiser around during an inspection can raise a red

fl ag that something is wrong with the house that you don’t want to be seen.

Turn lights on throughout the house, make sure the heating or cooling system is functioning at full capacity and keep

pets locked away. Move items that can impede access to basements or attics.

An accurate assessment of the value of your home will give banks the information they need to determine

loan amounts for future renovation projects.

Providing background information on the home and having a well-maintained property can improve the chances of a favorable appraisal.

Homes are potentially susceptible to a host of problems. While unforeseen problems can prove costly, homeowners who keep attentive eyes on their homes can oftentimes discover small problems before they escalate.

Water damage is a potentially costly problem that can afflict any home. Old homes tend to be most susceptible to water damage, and that damage can manifest itself in various ways. The following are some telltale signs of water damage that should give prospective home buyers pause and compel current homeowners to seek professional assistance as soon as possible.

Stains Many prospective home buyers have been disappointed by the sight of water stains during an open house or home inspection. Water stains tend to be on ceilings and/or walls. Stains on ceilings tend to be round, while wall stains are straight lines down the wall that may or may not have forced paint to peel. Water stains are not necessarily indicative of a major problem, but homeowners should have the stains examined by a professional while potential buyers should direct their home inspector’s attention to the stains.

BROKER KER

NEW LISTING

How to recognize water damage in a home

Deteriorating wood Wood around windows or doors that is deteriorating may indicate water problems. The wood might be deteriorating because water is

infiltrating the wood during storms. Baseboards and molding that is dilapidated or beginning to deteriorate may also indicate water damage.

Buckled drywall or wood Drywall or wood that is buckled or beginning to buckle is another potential indicator of water damage. Drywall buckles when it gets wet, and that is often a sign that there is a leak behind the drywall. Severely buckled drywall will feel as if it has ridges. Wood also buckles when it is exposed to excess moisture, and this can usually be felt when walking on the wood barefoot or in socks.

Odor Sometimes water damage is best detected by the smell test. Homeowners who notice the smell of mold or mildew in rooms that previously never emanated such odors might have homes that are in the early stages of water problems. The water damage might be behind the walls, where mold is beginning to form thanks to water damage. Older homes tend to be musty, but call in a professional if you notice that mustiness if more pungent than usual.

Water damage is a potentially costly problem, especially if it goes unnoticed for months or even years. Homeowners and prospective home buyers should be on the lookout for signs of water damage before problems escalate and require expensive repairs.

Tips for first-time home buyers Buying a home for the fi rst time is an exciting period in a person’s life.

Deciding to buy a home often indicates buyers are ready to establish firm roots in a community where they can see themselves living for years to come.

The process of buying a home is rarely easy, and first-time buyers may feel overwhelmed at times. Such feelings are perfectly normal and felt by firsttime buyers regardless of their budgets or home preferences. But there are a few ways to make buying a home more enjoyable than it is nerve-wracking.

• Examine your fi nances. The first step toward buying a home has nothing to do with deciding if you prefer a craftsman- or Tudor-style home.

Before you even begin your search for a home, carefully examine your fi nances to determine how much is coming in and how much is going out of your household each month. Figure out how much debt you are currently carrying, be it student loan, automotive, consumer or any other types of debt.

Order a credit report so you can see how prospective lenders are likely to see you, and address any errors you find on the report before meeting with any lenders.

Peruse past bank statements to track your spending habits, looking for areas where you might be able to scale back if need be.

• Be prepared when visiting lenders.

Prospective borrowers can make the home-buying process go smoothly by having all of the necessary documentation ready when visiting potential lenders. Many mortgage lenders will want to see some recent pay stubs (from both borrowers if buying with a spouse or partner), a couple years’ worth of W-2s and tax returns, as

well as your recent bank statements. You can always call ahead and ask lenders what they need to see when applying for a loan. Having these materials ready in advance means you will spend less time at the bank and more time finding the right home for you.

• Secure fi nancing before you begin house hunting. Many first-time home buyers might not realize the benefits of securing fi nancing before they

begin looking for a home. Mortgage preapproval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, preapproval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer.

• Work with a local real estate agent.

Real estate agents are an invaluable

resource to home buyers and are especially valuable to those buyers who have never before purchased a home. Agents can help first-time buyers navigate the often confusing and, at times, disappointing process of buying a home. Choose an agent who is established in the area where you want to buy a home. He or she can provide information about local property taxes and schools as well as a multitude of

additional issues that first-time buyers may not think of. Agents also know the lay of the land regarding home prices, which can ease fi rst-time buyers’ fears about overpaying for their first homes.

A home is the biggest purchase many people will ever make. First-time buyers may be intimidated as they begin searching for their homes, but there are several ways to make the process go smoothly.
