It found that if current the pricing system remains unchanged the parking reserve fund will begin to run a deficit in six years, and will reach a negative balance of over $35 million by 2030. The scenario approved by councillors on the committee will generate between one and two million dollars in annual contributions to the reserve

fund to pay for capital repairs to existing structures and finance new ones. It’s estimated the city will need to spend approximately $20 million over the next fifteen years on capital repairs and upgrades to the system, including the aged Chown, Robert Bruce and Hanson Memorial garages. The multilevel Hanson garage on Brock Street, for example, is set to close during the next month for further repairs.

The city also plans to invest $18 million for a new multi-level garage on lower Queen Street in 2018 to replace surface spaces that are lost to new development, and $10 million for new parking facilities due to ongoing residential development in the Williamsville area. The new schedule of rates and fines is expected to appear before city council for final approval in November.

Combating food insecurity in KFL&A By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

KFL&A works to combat this problem and promote personal and family food security, as well as community food security - the latter referring to the ability of the region to grow, process, store and distribute its own food. This Saturday, they’re holding an event called Food Matters: Connecting the Roots of Food Security in KFL&A at the Grace Centre in Sydenham. The idea is to bring people together to develop ideas for programs and policies aimed at promoting food security.

“Food is one of the basic needs for humans and as the Foundation’s report says, one in twelve households Events - More than eight per aren’t sure whether they’ll have food cent of households in the Kingston, next week or next month, so it’s someFrontenac, Lennox and Addington thing I think the community needs to area live with food insecurity, acwork on,” says FPC member Dianne cording to the 2016 Vital Signs reDowling. “It has an impact on quality port by the Community Foundation of life for those people but it also has of Kingston and area; this means an impact broadly for the community that one in twelve households in the because of the implications for health region are unsure whether they will and economic activity and so on.” have enough food next week or next The FPC has objectives in a wide month. range of areas including health, eduThe Food Policy Council (FPC) of cation, social justice, the economy, the environment and the celebration of food. “We try to take a broad view of food issues,” Dowling explains. As the council’s name suggests, improving food policy is an essential piece of the puzzle. Dowling says that large institutions like the Kingston’s hospitals and 2 FOR 1 ADMISSION WITH THIS COUPON post-secondary NOT VALID WITH ANY OTHER PROMOTION OR OFFER institutions and could do a lot to

help out; for example, they could commit to purchasing 10 per cent of their food from producers within 150 kilometres of the region, then increasing that percentage number each year. “That kind of support for local production would give the assurance to producers to expand their operations. The slow building of demand and supply would help create a much more food secure community,” Dowling says. “I think it’s part of the food security picture both for individuals and the community to build the number of producers in our region - the number of people that are able to make a living growing food for their neighbours,” she continues. “And if it’s there to be processed, that could be a tremendous economic development opportunity.” Saturday’s event will featurepanel presentations from those involved in a variety of different food security-related fields including Ayla Fenton, a young farmer, Toni Pickard from the Kingston Action Group for the Basic Income Guarantee and David Townsend, executive director of Southern Frontenac Community Services. The presentations will be followed by group discussions on topics chosen by the participants; recommendations for steps to in-

crease food security will then be collected from the groups and shared in the community. Dowling explains that the hope is to generate new ideas for food policy and programming: “We want to bring people together that are working in a broad range of organizations. We’re hoping that through the synergy of all these different organizations and different people coming together, they will share things that have worked in their community and then other people will come up with ideas that spin off from it or go beyond it.” Food Matters takes place Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Grace Centre in Sydenham (4295 Stage Coach Road) from 1 - 4 p.m. The event is free and everyone is welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served. People are invited to arrive between 12:30 and 1 p.m. to meet and network with others. Financial assistance for Food Matters comes from the Community Foundation of Kingston and Area, the City of Kingston, the County of Frontenac, The Kingston Community Health Centre, Southern Frontenac Community Services, Loving Spoonful, Sisters of Providence and Local 316 of the National Farmers Union.

Federal and provincial governments announce $11.5 million investment in St. Lawrence College By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – The cafeteria at St. Lawrence College was filled with energy and excitement as Kingston’s members of the federal, provincial and municipal governments gathered to announce an investment in the college’s infrastructure on Thursday, Oct. 13. “This is a huge day for St. Lawrence College,” said Glenn Vollebregt, president and CEO of St. Lawrence. “We’ve been dreaming about the Hello Future project and the new Student Life and Innovation Centre for years, and, aside from providing our students with the very best learning experience, this is the most important project our Kingston campus has ever undertaken. Ever.” Vollebregt foreshadowed an announcement from MP Mark Gerretsen and MPP Sophie Kiwala: a joint federal-provincial investment of $11.5 million in support of the ‘Hello Future’ project to modernize facilities and create new spaces for current and future students. The investments, made possible through the Government of Canada’s Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund, are aimed at promoting economic activity and helping Canada’s colleges and universities to develop highly skilled workers. Gerretsen announced $10.3 million in funding through the federal government, followed by a $1.2 million investment through the provincial government announced by Kiwala. St. Lawrence College will contribute an additional $10.6 mil-

lion for a total of $22.1 million from all three sources towards the $32.1 million project. The project consists of: a brand new Student Life and Innovation Centre, which will offer new space for students to collaborate with the community and businesses in entrepreneurial innovation, as well as a new double gym and a large student lounge area that will include a licensed pub; modernized health sciences simulation labs for the 50 per cent of St. Lawrence students studying health and health-related programs; a permanent home for the Centre of Education, Behavioural Research and Innovation in the Community (CEBRIC), the college’s behavioural science programs; and a new learning and gathering space for the growing indigenous population at St. Lawrence. Construction on the ‘Hello Future’ project began this week, and is set to be completed in the spring of 2018, creating more than 540 jobs as the college constructs a new building and modernizes existing spaces, all with an energy-saving and environmentally-

friendly focus and the goal to further improve the college’s ability to educate and inspire students. “The Strategic Investment Fund is an historic down payment on the government’s vision to position Canada as a global centre for innovation. This means making Canada a world leader in turning ideas into solutions, science into technologies, skills into jobs and start-up companies into global successes,” Gerretsen said. “As a result of this investment, students, teachers, researchers will work in state of the art facilities that support the country’s best research.”

Gerretsen, Kiwala and Patterson all noted the incredible energy in the room, prompting Kiwala to begin her address with admiration for the enthusiasm of the students. “I have to say the atmosphere here rocks!” she exclaimed, noting that she was thrilled to be part of the important announcement. “In our provincial government, it is our priority to build Ontario up by developing the economy and creating more job opportunities,” she said. “St. Lawrence has a massive role when it comes to preparing our students for the workforce, and ensuring

that the facilities are well maintained is critical for inspiring innovation and skilled intelligence so that students can reach their very fullest potential.” For Vollebregt, the announcement was about making the dream of the ‘Hello Future’ project into a reality, he said. Gesturing to a photo of campus when St. Lawrence College opened, he noted just how much the college has grown, and how much growth is yet to come. “This will be the biggest project in the history of St. Lawrence College,” said Vollebregt.

For those who are interested (including you closet fans who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss an episode but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t admit it), the title of the premier is The Day Will Come When You Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Be. Now if that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ring a bell, think back to the Season 1 finale, TS-19 (my second favourite episode btw) when Dr. Edwin Jenner allows Rick and the Survivors to leave Center For Disease Control and Rick says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful.â&#x20AC;? Jenner replies â&#x20AC;&#x153;the day will come when you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be.â&#x20AC;?

For the record, my prediction is that Glenn is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;theâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death, just like he is in the comic book (was I supposed to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;spoiler alertâ&#x20AC;? before writing that?). After Glenn goes down, Abraham loses it and attacks Negan but meets the same fate. Abraham is dead by this point in the comic books anyways, (spoiler thing again?), having taken a crossbow bolt through the eye, which was the fate of Denise in the TV version. Although the latest trailer, Right-Hand Man, makes it look like Negan might chop off Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand (the Governor did that in the comics, damn, spoiler thing again) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m predicting Rick will come out of the trailer intact physically (but mentally a mess). This prediction is based more on how costly (not to mention pain in the butt) it would be to film his hand as missing using camera angles and/or special effects than any moving-the-story forward arguments. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in too many scenes to want to do that much work week after week. But truth be told, as long as Darryl makes it through this, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine

with just about anything else they do. We already know from the trailer that Rick isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Lucilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Lucille is Neganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bat) victim and I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them wanting to part with Michonne or Darryl for that matter. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also curious to see what happens to Morgan and Carol at The Kingdom. (OK, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;officiallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Kingdom they were taken to but spoiler alerts be damned, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Kingdom dammit.) I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like Carol much for quite awhile but when she did her Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed ninja act as the Wolves were attacking, I kinda took a liking to her. Similarly with Morgan. The episode Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Not Here was a little long and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to think of co-star John Carroll Lynch as Drew Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transvestite brother but somebody had to teach Morgan aikido and bojutsu. Morgan with a bo staff is a much cooler character than Morgan the crazy man. Strangely enough, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really all that big of a zombie fan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something about this show, this soap opera set in a zombie apocalypse, that seems to fit my psyche.

ALL THE NEWS THATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FIT TO POST...ONLINE!

October is the time to book your appointments, Ladies! Editorial - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that being a woman comes with its fair share of headaches, both literally and figuratively, but it also comes with a number of responsibilities. Luckily for us ladies, October brings about a couple of reminders of the tests and checks we need to stay on top of in order to stay our healthy, beautiful selves. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and therefore â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mammo Month,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the perfect reminder to all to get a mammogram booked or encourage your female loved ones to do so. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Ontarian women, with one in eight expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. In 2015 alone, an estimated 9,800 women in Ontario were diagnosed with breast cancer, and approximately 1,900 women died of the disease, according to Cancer Care Ontario. Breast cancer occurs in women aged 50 to 74 most commonly, and the Ontario Breast Screening Program has provided more than 6.8 million mammograms to over 1.7 million women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has also detected more than 35,000 breast cancers, the majority of which were in early stages. At the same time, October 17 to 21, 2016 is National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week, which means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also time to book your Pap test. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why: The Pap test is the only way to detect abnormal cells in the cervix. Untreated, those cells can develop into cancer, something that is diagnosed in about 1,500 women across Canada each year. An additional 400,000 women receive an abnormal Pap test result, and, sadly almost 400 women die of cervical cancer annually. Hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun or comfortable, but it only takes a few minutes and it could easily save your life. So get on the phone to your doctor, or get online and go to www. cancercare.on.ca to find out where to get your mammogram and Pap test done this month. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to your life and your future, and with any luck, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do it again for a year.

Time for council to reconsider hiring full-time political ethics watchdog Comment – A swift decision made by councillors very early into their term has come back to haunt them. Back then, they seemed like such a friendly, cooperative group enjoying a honeymoon with voters that no one could’ve foreseen some of the troubles they face today. To refresh your memory, council voted unanimously in February 2015 to reject hiring an integrity commissioner on the municipal payroll to help guide their conduct and to investigate public complaints. At the time, Mayor Bryan Paterson said he envisioned the integrity commissioner as more of an educational role to advise councillors about their behaviour and to update the city’s Code of Conduct, rather than to act as council’s cop. “Be pro-active so it doesn’t blow up later on,” he told council then. Prophetic words that seem to ring true today. However, sensing the prevailing mood of council, the mayor joined

with the majority to quash the commissioner’s hiring (initially launched by the previous council but never completed.) Fast forward to today, and what has council done? For the second time in a year they’ve decided to go outside to hire, you guessed it, an integrity commissioner because they don’t have anyone inhouse to oversee their actions. A pity, because it may have defused the controversy that now swirls around Adam Candon, the condo and his now-defunct commercial website. The commissioner will be asked to determine whether Candon’s real estate website may have too closely tied the first-term councillor to having a financial interest in the Capitol condominium development, and whether he was right to take part in the debate in which he sided with the slim 7-6 majority to endorse the project. Many say his participation smells like a conflict-of-interest even though he vehemently denies it. While it was the mayor’s motion to seek an investigation, it was Coun. Candon who insisted on bringing in an independent investigator to clear the air. Can the accused councillor co-author the terms of his own investigation, many wondered? That aside, and hindsight being what

it is, it would’ve been extremely helpful for Coun. Candon and, indeed, the public, to have an integrity commissioner on speed dial to clear up any confusion before the vote – not afterwards. But he didn’t have that option. Neither did concerned residents. Instead, he relied on a lawyer to give him private advice on public matters. It’s time for council to re-think its decision not to keep an integrity commissioner on-call when controversy emerges. For a council that likes to pride itself on having an open, transparent government - and even adopt such measures as priority hallmarks it seems peculiar they would not make an integrity commissioner available to all elected offi cials and citizens at any time. That person can deem claims frivolous or legitimate. True, it’s a costly watchdog role but one the increasingly complex and heavily scrutinized local government could benefit from. Even Coun. Candon, who’s feeling the sting of public attacks about his own integrity, concedes council made a shortsighted decision early in its term for which he is now paying the price. “That was definitely a mistake. In the future we need to have more transparency and the only way to do that is to have a full time integrity commissioner.”

A commissioner on-call also not accepting gifts, injuring the repucould’ve benefi tted the public when tations of staff or leaking confi dential Kevin George was found to be work- information. ing both sides of the street during the But what good is having a Code if no Westbrook housing fury.

Celebrating 35 years of outreach and awareness-building through the Learning Disabilities Association Kingston By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – In 1981, a group of likeminded individuals came together with the common goal of drawing attention and awareness to the growing need for supports and services for local students with learning disabilities. Among those people was Pat Dudley, who is still

a strong presence amongst the group, now known as the Learning Disabilities Association of Kingston (LDAK). Now, as LDAK celebrates their 35th anniversary, it’s still as important as ever to continue raising awareness and advocating for support for those with learning disabilities, both in and out of school, Dudley expressed.

“A lot has changed, but a lot is still the same,” Dudley said of the 35 years LDAK has served Kingston and the area by offering quality resources, referrals and advocacy for those with learning disabilities. “We’ve come so far, building awareness up and getting it to a place where things are really happening for our kids, and then the

flavour of the month changes… instead of special education, [the focus] goes to French as a second language, or a specific subject, and then there’s an emergence again… Right now, I think the focus is on technology and not so much on special education.” While technology can certainly be of assistance to those with learning disabilities, implement-

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, October 20, 2016

ing the use of technology in the classroom requires manpower and assistance for those with learning disabilities. And without the funding to put the people in the classrooms to do so, the focus on technology in education means a lack of funding for the supports necessary for those with learning disabilities. It’s the constant battle Dudley and her colleagues at LDAK engage in for the community. “You need the people who know how to use that technology and know how to help the student use the technology. It’s not sufficient just to stick an iPad in front of a student and say ‘Here, use it.’ They need to be taught how to use it,” said Lynn Sadlowski, president of LDAK. “With the cutbacks to special education funding, you’ve got fewer educational assistants, you’ve got less professional development for teachers… It’s hard to reach all of the facets that need support in education.” But that won’t stop LDAK from continuing their work. Currently, the association is testing assistive technology workshops, using iPads to help parents and other people outside the school system learn how to use the iPad to their best advantage when working with their children with learning disabilities. “It allows us to help level the playing field for our kids,” Dudley said, noting that iPads can be used to help children with learning disabilities pertaining to reading and writing. “Because children with learning disabilities do not have intellectual disabilities – they have average or higher than average intelligence, but they have difficulties in one area of learning. And that’s something some people still don’t understand.” The statistics around learning disabilities point to exactly why Dudley and Sadlowski continue to work for and with students afflicted by these struggles: According to a Learning Disabilities Association of Canada survey, 35 per cent of students with learning disabilities will drop out of school; 62 per cent of those students will remain unemployed a year after graduation; and, staggeringly, almost 50 per cent of adolescents who commit suicide have a diagnosis of a learning disability. “We recognize the importance of mental health issues for kids with learning disabilities, and we’re working to partner with organizations in that area, too,” said Sadlowski.

Kingston Symphony concert offers fun for the whole family tstaff ord@metroland.com

Events – If there is one type of musical instrument that children seem to have a natural attraction to, it’s percussion – just think of the number of times you’ve seen a child pull the pots and pans out of the cupboard to create a makeshift drum kit! But on Sunday, Nov. 6, the Kingston Symphony will host a family-friendly concert where a huge variety of percussion instruments will take centre stage, so to speak, guaranteeing an entertaining afternoon for children and adults alike. Presenting ‘Major Mitchell Salutes Drums,’ the Kingston Symphony continues their series of family concerts focusing in on percussion instruments from the tiny triangle to the giant timpani, and offering both a concert experience and interactive pre-concert activities geared toward introducing children to orchestral music. The concerts are the result of Music Director Evan Mitchell’s pledge to create shows that attract people of all ages and backgrounds to the concert hall, and his dedication to educating the concert audiences of tomorrow. “When I came into the symphony, it was one of the things that I wanted to do: to see how could we make sure that setting out our programming and our season as a whole would have concerts which featured the inspiration and action to get young people interested in this music,” said Mitchell, who introduced his ‘Major Mitchell Salutes…’ concerts his first year with the Symphony. “This concert in particular will be a really fun and an enjoyable look at percussion of all kinds.” The ‘Major Mitchell Salutes…’ concerts feature Mitchell donning camouflage and bringing a childfriendly character to the stage. In each of the shows, Mitchell and the Symphony focus on one particular type of instrument to explore with the audience. From the pre-concert interactive activities – which include the popular ‘instrument petting zoo’ where children can

see, touch and play with the instruments up close with a professional player on hand to answer questions and explain how the instrument works – to demonstrating different instruments on stage so the audience knows what to look for during the next musical piece the Symphony plays, the concerts are meant to be enjoyable for the whole family. But that certainly doesn’t mean dumbing down the content, Mitchell expressed. “If you try to just sit a child down and say ‘ok let’s listen to this slow movement of Beethoven’s symphony,’ you know, that’s tricky… that’s tricky for many adults!” Mitchell said. “On the other hand, if you give them context and present it to them in a way which they can actually start drawing their own conclusions, you’ll fi nd that they’re more likely to dig deeper… they can decide if the music is something they do or don’t like.” To that end, the Nov. 6 concert will include Rossili’s William Tell

Overture, Sousa’s Washington Post, and Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, just to name a few of the pieces audiences can expect. Each piece will explore and demonstrate the power of percussion, with Major Mitchell filling in the blanks and explaining the instruments along the way. And even for the seasoned percussionists among the audience, there are sure to be some surprises. “I can guarantee that there will be some different types of percussion which these kids haven’t seen before, and also the adults in the audience will not have seen before,” Mitchell said. “It’s an awful lot of fun for me, being a former percussionist myself, and everyone loves drums, so it’s a great subject to explore for young people on a Sunday afternoon.” Major Mitchell Salutes the Drums will begin at 2:30 p.m. at The Grand Theatre. Visit www.kingstonsymphony.on.ca for details or tickets.

Developer eyes Williamsville for another large-scale student apartment By Bill Hutchins

News – Another large-scale studentstyle apartment is proposed for Kingston’s fast-growing Williamsville district. It would be one of the largest apartment buildings in the city, spanning an entire block along the north side of Princess Street between Albert and Frontenac Streets. Podium Developments wants to construct an 11-storey mixed commercial and residential building, not far from the Kingston Memorial Centre. The proposed midtown building is expected to attract Queen’s students, just like a similar building nearby at Princess and Victoria Streets. “The proposed development is situated within 1 km of the Queens University campus which equated to an approximate walk of 15 minutes, therefore it is anticipated that there will be a high percentage of students residing in the building,” according to an urban design study by the developer. The sprawling apartment complex will contain 456 residential units and 680 bedrooms, ranging from bachelor to 3-bedroom units, plus 1,500 square metres of round floor retail space. Podium has assembled 11 parcels of commercial and residential land on both side of the street - 575611 Princess Street, 505-513 Albert Street, 510 Frontenac Street, 576-600 Princess Street and 465 Albert Street - to accommodate the building and to

provide nearby parking spaces. Concept drawings submitted by the developer indicate the Princess Street side of the building will have a four-storey street wall and wider sidewalks, and parkette at Princess and Frontenac. The Frontenac Street building wing features ‘stepped down’ townhouse-style units of six storeys to transition to the lower neighbouring homes. Smaller scale townhouses are also planned along Alfred Street, though not attached to the main apartment building. A total of 132 parking spaces will be provided behind the main building, plus another 68 spaces on a surface lot and parkette to be developed on the lands south of Princess Street (576-600 Princess Street and 465 Albert Street). The urban design study says ground floor retail units at the corner of Princess and Frontenac Streets will have enough space to allow sidewalk patios. “This provides an opportunity for a patio connected to the commercial units, or a community square with landscaping/seating features. This corner has the potential to be a gathering hub, serving as a Community Destination.” But the massive building still has to clear some tall hurdles at City Hall before any approvals are given. The developer is seeking a raft of Offi cial Plan and zoning bylaw amendments to allow the development to proceed, including; doubling the allowable building height from 20

to 40 metres, removing the need for a stepped-back building, reducing the number of required parking and bicycle spaces, reducing amenity space and allow a permanent surface parking lot across the street. The plan to include 200 parking spaces in the development is significantly lower than what zoning bylaw rules permit. However, Podium provided a traffic study that says many of the tenants will be students who don’t drive, the building is on a Kingston Transit express bus route, and suggested that neighbouring streets can pick up the slack. “There is also onstreet parking on adjacent surface streets which is used by residents but also with some spots frequently available in particular closer to Princess Street.” Area residents had their first chance to weigh in on the development at a public meeting October 6. Some are not pleased with the scale of the project, greater number of bachelor units and the lack of on-site parking. “Height of the development will be an eyesore on the surrounding properties. It is an imposing structure out of character

with the neighborhood,” said one letter co-signed by Colin Finn and six others. “It is distressing that a few years after the Williamsville Special Policy Areas sections were added to the city’s Offi cial Plan, after extensive community consultation and Council’s support, to fi nd a development application that totally disregards them,” said former councillor Vicki Schmolka. The urban design study says the six storey building height limit that’s defi ned in the Williamsville Main Street Study did not contemplate the

type of land consolidation this project represents. “The proposed development represents intensification within an area of the city intended to be developed in a pedestrian-oriented form providing increased residential densities and commercial uses to serve local neighbourhoods.” City planners have not yet made a formal recommendation to the planning committee on the project, but it will consider public input and any community benefi ts that are still to be negotiated with the developer.

“School is so much a part of a young person’s life. They spend so many hours at school, and success at school is something their parents and everybody else is always talking

Kingston Police present fundraiser proceeds to local chapter of Special Olympics Ontario Continued from page 2

Kingston Police Chief Gilles Larochelle expressed gratitude to all of the volunteers and the sponsors that made the GLPMTS such a success. Funds were raised through donations, generous sponsors and a raffle, which Larochelle pointed out as a major aspect of the fundraising. “I’ll take the opportunity to thank Motorsports Plus Kingston for the motorcycle that they donated. With that motorcycle, we were able to raise some substantial funds again for the Special Olympics,” Larochelle said, noting that the event would not have been possible without the community volunteers that stepped up to help organize, specifically those with the Kingston Police Community Volunteers. Const. Rick Hough, project lead and co-chair of this year’s GLPMTS echoed Larochelle’s sentiments, also noting his colleagues for their outstanding support. “I would also like to thank the members of my unit, the core unit and in specific the traffic unit,” Hough said. “Without the help of the officers that we work with on a daily basis, we would not have been able to hold this event, and that’s part of everything that we do. It’s a team approach, and that team also

includes engaging with our community to host events like this to help support organizations like the Special Olympics Ontario.” Cody Jansma, manager of the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run which raises funds for Special Olympics Ontario, explained just how important law enforcement agencies like the Kingston Police Force are to ensuring athletes from Ontario are able to compete each year. “Last year in Ontario, the Torch Run raised $1.9 million through events and initiatives such as this, and 100 per cent of those proceeds benefit over 20,000 Special Olympics Ontario athletes living in this province,” Jansma said, noting that Ontario has one of the most successful Torch Runs in the world, which directly funds athletes competing from our province. “Special Olympic sport does not happen in this province without our law enforcement partners.” With that, Kingston Police revealed the giant cheque of $30,000 for Special Olympics Ontario, all of which was raised through the GLPMTS. “I hope, on behalf of the Torch Run, this relationship and this event continue for many more years,” said Jansma. “Once again, we say thank you.”

Meet the new Base Commander: Getting to know Col. Andrew Jayne tstafford@metroland.com

News – When Col. Andrew Jayne received word he was being offered the Base Commander position at CFB Kingston, the opportunity was more like a home coming than a complete change of life for himself and his family – in fact, had the Change of Command come a few weeks earlier, Jayne would have been in Kingston for the 25th anniversary of his class’ graduation from RMC. “They should have moved me here just a little bit earlier!” Jayne said with a laugh. Jayne took over as Base Commander from Brig.-Gen. Steve Kelsey on Thursday, Oct. 6, a promotion he called “an honour to be chosen for,” and one that brought him back to a city he’s lived in more than once. Jayne graduated from RMC with a bachelor of engineering in 1991, and returned here to Kingston in the late 90s to take a couple of courses at Fort Frontenac. For a seasoned member of the Canadian Armed Forces who has worked and served in places like Bosnia, Afghanistan and England, Janye, a native of Bridgewater, NS, still refers to Kingston with an unsurpassed fondness. “I fell in love with Kingston when we were here as young adults. We were very welcomed in the community,” Jayne said, noting that he and his classmates were often surprised with just how well-received they were as uniform-sporting cadets out and about in the city.

“We were proud to wear our uniforms, but we were always surprised that there wasn’t more friction with the community,” he said. “I was out with my wife, here, just on Princess Street at a restaurant, and a young cadet came in in his uniform with his girlfriend, I assume. There were a couple of people next to us chatting, and my wife overheard them say ‘Oh, yeah, he must be a first-year cadet, so he has to wear his uniform’… It was very Brigadier-General, Cadden and Colonel Jayne share a conratulatory handshake.

Kingston/Frontenac Section B - Thursday, October 20, 2016

Passion fills top dancer’s life Alana Stevenson’s memory is about as long as her dance career. She’s 16 now and started dancing when she was two years old. The Grade 11 Holy Cross Catholic High School student isn’t sure what the future will bring, but she’s pretty sure it will involve dance in some way. She’s been paying her dues for many years. In the summer she won the senior dance award over hundreds of competitors at the international dance competition, but known as “The Nationals,” in Orlando. She’d already won the Canadian title. Despite training for many hours a week, Alana says she doesn’t find it stressful. In fact, it’s the opposite. “Whenever I get stressed out, if I dance I get it all off my shoulders,” she says. “I relax when dancing. I get to express myself, say, ‘This is me. This is my story.’” She must express a lot, considering that she dances for hours every week in ballet, lyrical,

hip hop, contemporary and jazz classes at TK Danceworx. “I feel like dance is good for people, even to watch it,” she says. “It inspires people. I like being able to inspire. Movement in general is a lot like singing.” She explains that dance can be used to convey emotional issues. For example, a choreographed piece could describe a life situation or an illness someone has had to endure. “Dance helps you deal with emotional things,” she says. She admits that she doesn’t really have a favorite dancer, but gets most of her inspiration from choreographers. “I want to take what they teach and make it my own,” she says. “What I learn in dance can reflect what I feel about life.” She says that most but not all of her friends dance. “But my closest friends are here at the studio with me,” she says. “I get to meet them here all the time and share the same interests.” When her friends who don’t dance ask her what it’s like she admits to them that it is difficult, but anyone can start at any time. “It doesn’t matter when someone starts dancing,” she says. “Everyone has the potential to

learn. If someone is passionate about it and works toward a goal, they’ll be able to do it.” Outside of her dance studio, Stevenson is on the honor roll at Holy Cross. This term, she’s studying visual arts, English, world religions and biology. Next semester she’ll be taking anthropology, math, gym and dance. Seriously, I think she might do well in that last subject. After high school, she’s not sure where she’s headed, but she’s pretty sure it will be dance related in some way. She’s also been involved in rep soccer, as well as basketball, volleyball and hockey, but has given most of it up due to her intense dance schedule. When asked what she experiences when she’s dancing, her arm gestures grow and she smiles. “It depends on what kind of dance it is,” she says. “If there’s a story in it, I think about what if it was me in the position of the character I’m dancing. I put myself in the role and go for it. I put myself into that person›s position and change how I think and feel about things, depending on what the dance is about.”

Passion fills top dancer’s life Continued from page 8

After we chat, she gears up to head into a special choreography session. “I think we’re working on contemporary, hip hop and jazz styles,” she says. “It’s great to have people come in from outside and teach us. TK is very

good for that. We’re fortunate to have a variety of people coming in to help us learn new things.” According to Dance Academy of California, dance offers a multitude of benefits for teenagers. It’s an all-round healthy activity that provides great cardo exercise as well as helping maintain overall fitness.

Dance is also a great place to meet other teens with similar interests. In what is often a socially awkward time of life, dance provides a framework for friendships. Dance helps teens develop confidence and to see their accomplishments as they learn new techniques. Also, it’s

significant that teens involved in dance (and other arts) tend to perform better overall academically. Finally, dance by its very nature demands discipline. The discipline that teens learn in dance, transfers to many other situations and can stay with a person for life. Alana Stevenson is confirming what the research suggests. Her self-discipline and confidence have taken her to the top internationally. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

Escaping gridlock on London’s famous Tube By Jeffrey Maguire

“Please let other passengers exit before entering the carriage. Mind the gap between the train and the platform!” With those words ringing in our ears my son Craig and I were swept into the evening crush of humanity on the world-famous London Underground, or “The Tube” as the expansive subway system in the British capital is commonly called. Our 10-day, father-son football (soccer) trip to London last month was Craig’s first visit to England and Europe. Yes, Great Britain is still part of Europe – at least for the time being. With some 20 visits to England under my belt I was the guide for the holiday. Craig set the agenda which meant that we visited a lot of museums. Included were two long stops at the famous British Museum with its three miles of corridors and truly incredible antiquities. Among the displays are controversial objects from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece which are known as “the Elgin marbles.” The same museum features a massive collection of Egyptian artifacts including mummies recovered from ancient tombs. In

addition the Roman collection is second to none, not to mention so many intriguing objects recovered from across Great Britain. My son loves ancient history! During our stay we also embarked on a long but rewarding archeological tour of England’s southwest including stops at Stonehenge, Woodhenge, the truly amazing West Kennet Long Barrow and the massive stone circles at Avebury in Wiltshire. Although far less known than Stonehenge, the sites around Avebury are arguably more interesting. Most of our visit centred on London and its endless attractions. Combining all of our visits I have spent many months in London and yet I have only scratched the surface of what is available there. London is the largest city in the United Kingdom with an estimated population of 8.6 million. It’s also the largest city in Europe with a population nearly twice its nearest continental rival, Berlin. So obviously one of the biggest challenges is transportation! That’s especially true for visitors. Renting a car simply isn’t an option. Not unless you want to pay truly exorbitant prices for overnight parking and, worse yet,

fight the traffic gridlock which plagues Central London daily. The average speed of traffic in the city centre is 10 miles per hour and from my perspective, that’s on a good day. Expensive ride Motorists also have the so-called “Congestion Charge” to contend with. That is a £11.50 fee (almost $20 CDN) for any vehicle entering the prescribed area between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on week days. It’s impossible to escape. Cameras record your number plate and a bill is automatically sent to the registered owner. So if your rental car is caught on film you pay that charge on top of your daily rental. Then there’s the parking situation. Except for expensive parking garages there are

pitifully few spaces for anyone brave enough to drive into the city centre. Two years ago a billionaire from the oil rich Gulf Region purchased a parking space adjacent to the multi-million pound home he bought in Central London. The massive residence has no garage and came without any parking. He paid a cool half million pounds (nearly $1 million CDN) for a space which will only accommodate a single vehicle. The space is subject to all of the usual hazards of surface parking in such a busy metropolis. My late father was a professional firefighter. Considering his career I always shake my head when I see the drivers of emergency vehicles trying to work their way through London’s seemingly motionless

traffic. We saw the same situation play itself out time and again during this visit. They simply can’t get through at times and they sit there with sirens blaring and air horns blasting, hoping to somehow navigate the complicated puzzle of standing traffic. How frustrating! It is so bad that London’s Ambulance Service long ago acquired a fleet of motorcycles. They allow paramedics to reach the scene of an emergency faster. They then have to hope the ambulance itself can get to the location to pick-up the patient and take them to hospital. Today helicopters are being employed in more and more cases to get critical patients to the A&E (Accident and Emergency). Continued on page 22

Swiss cheese fondue great when entertaining A popular entertaining dish from the 1960s and ’70s, fondue has recently been rediscovered. If you don’t have a fondue pan, place the mixture in a flame-proof container set over lit candles to keep it warm. The trick for silky, smooth fondue is finely shredded cheese added very slowly over low heat. Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 7 minutes Serves six to eight Ingredients • 8 oz (250 g) Swiss-style cheese, finely shredded (2 cups/500 mL) • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch

• 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) dry white wine • 1 clove garlic, crushed • Freshly grated nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper Preparation instructions In large bowl, toss cheese with cornstarch until cheese is well coated. Set aside. In medium saucepan, combine wine and garlic. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Very gradually add cheese mixture a handful at a time and cook, stirring, until melted and thick. Remove from heat and season

Howe Island news and more News - Frontenac Islands council members and staff gathered for their regular meeting on Howe Island. Earlier in the day, council members and a number of HI residents went on a tour led by Public Works Manager Rob Dillabough. They looked at work underway, or completed, along HI’s highways, byways, and ferry areas (signage, guard rail projects, Spit Head Road reconstruction, public works yard fencing, etc.). According to all, it was a good tour, to be followed with one on Wolfe Island. In short order council gave final reading to 2017 fees and fares bylaws for Howe and Simcoe ferries and for a Stop sign at WI’s Easy Lane and 3rd Line Road South. There was some discussion around fees and fares for Howe Island. As to why residents concerns & input into Frontenac County’s process were not acknowledged, Mayor Doyle noted that there was some urgency to get on with the budget. Council will request a Public Meeting with county officials on Howe island. “So,” Deputy Mayor Nossal commented, “this as an issue for next year?” Howe Island ferry boarding and rush hour restrictions for truck and farm vehicles (on the agenda) were postponed until the proponents meet with county officials, the operators of the ferry and, are well prepared for December’s Council meeting on Howe Island. Frontenac County Legislative

Services Manager Jannette Amini presented an overview of the work and successes of the county’s Accessibility Committee, made up of representatives from each of the townships and two county councillors. The committee is there to advise and create awareness regarding the AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act), its requirements and time lines. And to work with councils and municipal staff, as well as with community businesses and groups, in all areas where the accessibility needs of persons with disabilities must be addressed. “ We are taking a proactive approach to letting everyone know about the requirements of the AODA.” Nominations are open until Nov.3rd for the “International Day of Persons with Disabilities Access Award for Frontenac persons, groups, organizations who are improving access for persons with disabilities. Public Works Projects for Wolfe Island indicate that the one tender received was accepted for the complete rebuild of the Simcoe Island ferry docks (services, materials to complete the design proposed dock upgrades) at a cost of $406,700. “Anything that is there has to either removed, replaced, cleaned i.e. rocks, boulders, cement, plates, lights, everything to bring it up to standard. It has to be environmentally sound. All of that material has to be taken off the island.,” Manager Dillabaugh

said. “The township is budgeted for its part of the project and MTO is looking at different ways to deal with its 80% for the rebuild.. Council accepted the tender information based on the premise that the project would go forward with MTO’s 80% support, just received. The money is to be awarded over a two year period. OPP Billing: Mayor Doyle updated council regarding 2017 OPP billing, assigned by household and estimated at $302,975, and efforts to bring some of this cost inline regarding particularly wind turbines. All across Ontario OPP is charging the same fee for policing wind towers that require no policing. And the same fee for an apartment building that may have 50 to 100 families in it. “The way the formula works they take the whole cost and divide it up by the number of households, counting a wind tower, cell tower or apartment building as a household,” he said. Deputy Mayor Nossal noted

“that even when some of the issues affecting particularly rural areas OPP costs will remain very high. We will still be paying $300,000. Rural OPP costs need to be kept front and centre.” Action items, Mayor Doyle responded to Mayor Bryan Patterson’s request for a letter supporting Kingston’s ‘Third Crossing Initiative’. The letter cited reduced traffic congestion on Ontario Street, faster unloading of the Wolfe Island ferry, relief to the bottleneck at the LaSalle Causeway for Howe Islanders in both directions. And to provide an additional access route to the Causeway and Hwy. 401 (both prone to delays) for Ambulance, Paramedic and Emergency Services. The letter was to be circulated to Provincial Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli, and Federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, Amarjeet Sohi. Questions: Mayor Doyle invited questions & comments: Councillor Grant asked about county money ($300,000) taken

from reserves, and for what. In response Deputy Mayor Nossal said “There was a (Federal) Renovate program administered by the city for low income persons allowing them to remain in their homes…. The County feared the program’s elimination so put money into reserves for it. It was not and its not new money. The KP Trail needed money for acquisitions. The motion was to take 75% of the reserves for the trail. I felt it should be used for social programs. Mayor Doyle, and I, and North Frontenac Mayor Higgins voted against” . We were incensed.” she said. | “It was morally wrong. It was tax money,” Mayor Doyle added. Nossal has asked how the trail has thus far been funded. To be con’t.

cent of the previous daily flow. You wouldn’t know it to look at what is happening in London these days though. The traffic is a true nightmare! When it comes to hop-on, hop-off buses I can speak from experience. We normally use them in every major city we visit and, after avoiding them in London for years I tried it again this time in Craig’s company. They cover a lot of the city centre and in theory they are a good way to see London. In practice they are so frustratingly slow to move that they aren’t the value for money they once were. Twenty-five years ago they were a good option. Not anymore sadly! Slow journey On our ill-fated excursion, first we became mired on Cannon Street in the Financial District for 45 minutes. Then, after a good run along the less travelled south side of the River Thames, we crossed Tower Bridge and immediately became gridlocked again. We started our journey just before noon and by 3:20 p.m. we were only halfway around our route. At a roundabout near Marble Arch we again became hopelessly mired in traffic. After waiting 30 minutes to travel 50 metres (I’m not kidding) we finally abandoned our long and expensive ride (it cost the two of us £62 total) at Green Park Tube

Station. A subway train was already at the platform when we arrived. Craig and I were whisked to our next destination in a matter of minutes. The Underground is generally very fast and efficient! A few years ago we were in London with our friends the LeBlancs. Frank hadn’t been to the British capital in a number of years. He was totally blown away by the speed and efficiency of the subway system. Even at rush hour trains are usually only one to three minutes apart. Sometimes you are even lucky enough to end up on one of the system’s newest trains. The most modern are air conditioned which, this year in particular, was a big plus. It was oppressively hot in London during our stay with temperatures exceeding 30C on several days, something which is very rare indeed in England. On Sept. 13 the mercury hit 34.5C in London. It was the hottest day in the capital since 1911. There are several downsides to using the London Underground of course. It is almost always dank and airless in the Tube. So you can imagine what it was like on 30C days. Yes, it was sweltering – whew! Trains in the centre are almost always full which means that on many occasions you are forced to stand, in cramped and uncomfortable conditions, for lengthy periods. That is

invariably true at rush hour, but our passes don’t include the morning rush which is a very good thing actually. You have to be ambulatory to use the Tube. At most stations there are numerous, long staircases and even longer tunnels, especially when changing from one of the city’s 11 subway lines to another. In some cases you can get to a location faster by walking on the surface. There are 270 stations on the 250-mile (400 kilometre) system. But only a small number are exclusively served by lifts (elevators) although accessibility improvements are being made. Still, escalators outnumber lifts by a nearly 3-1 margin. The London Underground is the third longest subway system in the world which means you can access many parts of the city proper. In addition lines reach surrounding counties including Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex. It really is an excellent system and every time we visit London we become more attached to it. The Tube is the only way to go in one of the world’s biggest cities. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Classic student vs. authority film much more than that MOVIE: Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life STARRING: Griffin Gluck, Lauren Graham, Alexa Nisenson, Thomas Barbusca, Isabella Moner and Andrew Daly DIRECTOR: Steve Carr RATING: PG Middle School: The Worst Year of My Life tells the classic struggle of a rebel student fighting against an evil principal. Or at least that’s how it looks on the surface. It’s been a hard couple of years for Rafe Katchadorian (Griffin Gluck). His brother passed away, he’s been kicked out of two schools, and his mom, Jules (Lauren Graham), is dating a jerk named Carl (Rob Riggle). Rafe escapes into his sketch book where he’s created whole worlds. He’s a talented artist, but no amount of drawing can help him escape his first day at a new school. It doesn’t begin well. Rafe and his best friend Leo (Thomas Barbusca) have a run-in with principal Dwight (Andrew Daly) first thing. Principal Dwight has a whole book of rules most of which Rafe has already broken just with what he’s wearing. Principal Dwight doesn’t believe in

creativity. He believes in strict adherence to his rules. Rafe tries to go unnoticed, but then Principal Dwight gets a hold of Rafe’s sketch book. Principal Dwight deems Rafe’s sketches inappropriate, and throws them in a bucket of acid. With all his hard work destroyed Rafe decides that if Principal Dwight can destroy his book, then he’ll destroy Principal Dwight’s book. Rafe sets out on a covert mission to break every single rule in Dwight’s book. At first glance Middle School looks like a kind of Ocean’s Eleven for middle school kids, and it is at least in part. Rafe in his quest to free his school from the stifling rules of Principal Dwight orchestrates some incredibly funny and elaborate pranks. The pranks, along with some wonderful animation scenes that take us into Rafe’s imagination, makes for a fun and light story that really captures the perils of middle school. If that’s all Middle School was it would be a good movie, but it goes much deeper than I expected. The film takes a dramatic twist that gives the story an emotional undercurrent I was not expecting. The film has real heart, and it makes a good film into a great one. The young cast is impressive. Alexa Nisenson is funny and really moving as Rafe’s younger sister. As Leo, Thomas Barbusca gives an impressive performance. Griffin

Gluck fits the persona of rebel with a cause to a T. He’s funny, smart, and instantly likeable, but with an emotional edge that makes you feel deeply for him. The adult cast isn’t bad either. Lauren Graham is perhaps the ultimate cool mom. Rob Riggle can play a jerk like no one else, and is only outdone by Andrew Daly who’s evil principal will not only have kids and adults cheering his downfall, but laughing while it happens. Middle School looks like your classic student versus authority film, but it’s so much more, and so much better than that.

Hibernian Society would be grateful for Mary and Richard’s efforts with the car loaded with potatoes, a couple plump chickens, and a basket of crab apples. My cousin Richard was as excited as I was when we climbed out of the car, and he whispered in my ear that he had a great idea how we could spend the afternoon. We went right into the parlour, dark and dank with big pieces of deep red, velvet furniture and an old upright piano crowed into the small room. Richard showed me a stack of papers and a sign propped against the big velvet sofa. I could only read the first words, being in Primer book and all at the Northcote School, but Richard who was very familiar with the sign, read in whispers, running his finger along the words. “Help support the Hibernian Society.” And there was a picture of Aunt Vanetta’s church underneath the printing. Richard grabbed a handful of the papers and the sign, took hold of my hand, and led me out onto the street. I had no idea what we were doing, but I figured it had something to do

her rosary, and started to say her beads, Aunt Lil ordered Richard to get out his catechism, and I was sent to the parlour to look through the family bible! The coins were spread out on the table, and I knew without a doubt, the Hibernian Society would be a few dollars richer, but I was reasonably sure they would have no idea where the money had come from.

the cup too. We headed right for Richard’s favourite candy store on Albert Street. Unfortunately, Richard’s father, Uncle Dick was coming home from work, spied us, pulled over to the curb and told us to climb in the car. Now, Uncle Dick was a smart man. It didn’t take him all day to see, and hear, Richard’s pocket bulging with the money. When we got back to the house, and Uncle Dick heard Richard’s confession, he and Uncle Johnny laughed so hard, I thought they’d throw up. Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lil didn’t see anything funny about the whole issue, and Aunt Vanetta immediately took out

Mother liked to take a trip into Ottawa to visit our Lyon Street relatives before Fall changed to Winter. It was always on a Saturday, since it was a long trip to make in the old Model T, and we’d stay overnight. I was thrilled, because 129 Lyon St. was always a hive of activity. Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny, their daughter Lil and Uncle Dick, and of course, my cousin Richard, all lived in the tenement house, and goodness knows how many families on the floors above. I knew all of Northcote could fit into that old red brick house. It was a bright and warm Fall day when we wheeled into the cinder yard that separated 129 Lyon St. from the fire station next door. As always, Mother came

with Aunt Vanetta’s church, so it must be alright. “Here, you carry the papers,” Richard said. “I’ll carry the sign.” He produced a blue and white granite cup, one like Uncle Johnny drank his tea from, and with the sign close to his chest, we started walking down Lyon Street. Every time we met someone, Richard, all of seven years old, put on the saddest face I had ever seen and said, “Please help the Hibernian Society.” If someone put a penny or two in the cup, it was my job to hand them a sheet of paper off the pile I was carrying. Never thinking anything we were doing was dishonest, I marveled at the pile of coins gathering in the bottom of the tin cup, and was sure the Hibernians would be especially pleased. Well, Richard had other ideas. After we had been at our begging about half an hour, he grabbed the papers out of my hands, and with the sign, tucked the whole lot into a hedge we were passing on Lyon Street. He emptied the cup of coins into his pocket, and got rid of

How families can manage cramped quarters Young parents living in cities face diffi cult decisions regarding their living arrangements. The suburbs versus city debate is one many young married couples have had, and that discussion is often prompted by the arrival of children. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau suggests that more people are choosing cities over the suburbs in the 21st century. While that data indicates 53 of the 81 cities in the United States with populations exceeding a quarter million people experienced reduced growth in 2013-2014, the most recent year for which statistics are available, during that time such cities still exhibited growth well above their averages from 2000 to 2010. There are many reasons why city life might make more sense than living in the suburbs for young married couples. Living in the city may lead to far shorter commutes for working parents, and the availability of public transportation in cities may save parents the costly expense of purchasing their own vehicles. But city life may force families to cope with cramped quarters. Even the most spacious apartments may not provide the same square footage as single-family suburban homes. Parents who are committed to city living may need to get creative in order to live comfortably in apartments. • Actively police clutter. Few things can make apartments seem more cramped than clutter. Unsolicited mailings, old magazines and unused kitchenware are just a few of the items that can make small apartments seem even smaller. Discard junk mail the

moment you walk through the door, making a daily effort to keep kitchen counters and tables, coffee tables and other areas that tend to accumulate clutter clear of clutter. Reducing clutter also makes homes safer for young children, making it easier for them to navigate a home while reducing choking hazards. • Keep hosting duties to a minimum. Many men and women love to host friends and family, and that desire to host won’t subside simply because you live in a city. But even if you love to host, host more intimate gatherings so you are not forced to use your already limited storage space to store items, such as extra plates, utensils and drinking glasses, that you will only use every so often. Fewer guests means fewer items you need to store year-round. • Go easy on the tots’ toys. Parents of young children know that kids’ toys take up a lot of space, and that’s space that many city dwellers simply don’t have. Rather than adding to youngsters’ toy stash each month, explain to them that space is limited and that some older toys will have to go before new ones can be purchased. Donate old toys and let kids know their items will be given to less fortunate youngsters, as that may make kids feel better about parting ways with their toys. Set a good example by showing kids when you discard or donate older items before replacing them with new ones. • Think vertically. Single-family home owners may not need to make much use of the vertical space in their homes, but such is not often the case

with apartment dwellers. Utilizing vertical space in an apartment can be as simple as buying some shelving units or bookcases. To be safe,

keep items the kids will use on lower shelves so they are not tempted to do some climbing to reach their toys or books.

Parents who choose the big city over the suburbs may need to make some sacrifices to make better use of cramped quarters.

Make the most of your home appraisal When homeowners think about renovating their properties, many first need to secure some funding to fi nance such projects. Some may tap into the equity of their homes by refinancing 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 signifi cant 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 certifi ed, licensed professional who will do his or her best to determine the value of your home. The appraisal 4

provides banks with information that can tell loan officers 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

Kingston Homefinder.ca - Thursday, October 20, 2016

job. Following the appraiser around during an inspection can raise a red flag 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 capac-

ity 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.
