Celebrating the Town Crier By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The town crier in Kingston, Chris Whyman, was on the opposite end of those cries on Oct. 16 as he received a plaque recognizing his international town crier achievements. “I was honoured to present Chris with the key to the city on July 1 this year and I am honoured to present this plaque to him today,” said Mayor Mark Gerretsen at the surprise ceremony on the steps of City Hall. “The plaque recognizes your title as three-time world championship town crier and we as a city thank you for that.” Whyman became the town crier for the city 30 years ago and was actually hired by then mayor John Gerretsen, who also attended the festivities and thanked Whyman for his service to the city. “Chris you are known throughout the town crier world as literally the best in the world and you have been an ambassador for the city of Kingston in so many different ways for over 30 years,” said John Gerretsen. “Congratulations on a job extremely well done and keep it up for another 30 years.” Gerretsen also told an anecdote of his recent trip out to Nova Scotia where he encountered another town crier. He commented to the crier that he was the second best town

crier in the world and the crier immediately commented that he must be from Kingston, showing just how far Whyman is known. Whyman attended the 2014 Chester World Town Crier Tournament Aug. 20-23 this year and competed against 25 other town criers from around the world. He was successful in reclaiming his title and is certainly happy to ‘cry’ the praises of Kingston to people around the world. “I am proud to be the town crier of Kingston and I have always viewed it as not really a job, more of a hobby job. It is a position I have done in promotion of a beautiful community,” said Whyman at the ceremony. “We have a rich and vibrant historical community with a great growing culture that I am so proud to be part of.” During his time as town crier, Whyman has served under eight different mayors and he added that he has represented each one with pride. Whyman happily attends many events throughout the city and opens them with his cries, something that MP Ted Hsu recognized as a valuable part of the Kingston tourism industry: “You are a unique icon for the city of Kingston and you can make the difference between an ordinary event and a really official event. You also are willing to go everywhere all the time and attend these

Whyman was certainly surprised by the plaque and the ceremony, but he wasn’t surprised when Mayor Gerretsen asked him to give the

crowd a sample of his world famous cry. He happily recited his ‘Hometown Cry’ and showed everyone why he is world famous.

Kingston’s Official Plan changed to allow more commercial activity in east end

R0012898448

Kingston Heritage – Kingston’s east end is now open for business like never before. Councillors, at their final meeting before the Oct. 27 election, voted unanimously to change the city’s Official Plan to create more commercial zones in Pittsburgh district. Dozens of amendments to the Rideau Community Secondary Plan, as it is known, will allow private developers to build near residential areas where they were previously denied. Coun. Brian Reitzel is confident the newly-created commercial zones will allow stores specializing in the sale of alcohol, food, medicine and other products to get a long-awaited foothold in the rapidly growing east end. “They’ve been knocking on the door for over two years and that’s when we ran into the roadblock that we didn’t have any more commercial zoning other than the Rideau Town Centre,” he explained. The city spent $40,000 on consultants to help revamp its Official Plan, the municipal blueprint for future development, in response to concerns that nearly 20,000 Pittsburgh residents don’t have access to enough stores and other commercial services that other city residents currently enjoy. “I think with the mayor’s town hall meetings he heard us loud and clear and so did the councillors that we are in desperate need of commercial services,” said Reitzel. The former Pittsburgh Township envisioned one central commercial area, which was established on the southwest corner of Highway 15 and Gore Road, site of the Rideau Town Centre. But times have changed, and the city’s east end has been a focal point for new subdivisions and hi-rise apartments in recent years. The consultants determined that residents’ complaints about a lack of stores are justified, and 20 years of commercial limitations in the Official Plan need to be updated. They concluded “an additional 149,200 square feet of commercial space is needed to meet the demands of the (Pittsburgh) community up to the year 2026.” The additional square footage equates to roughly triple the size of the

Rideau Town Centre, and nearly double the current supply of all retail and service stores Make Wood Cutting QuiCk & easy in all of Pittsburgh. The need for additional commercial activliMited tiMe only stihl Ms 170 ity requires about five hectares of rezoned gas Chain saw land, the study concluded. 30.1 cc / 1.3 kW / 3.9 kg (8.6 lb)† The revamped rules approved by council would permit an additional supermarket, genMSRP $279.95 with 16” bar eral merchandise store, plus more service and retail stores, and even drinking places. However, the consultants also found that Pittsburgh lacks the “critical mass” that’s needed to support a large format department store. with the purchase Coun.

Tamarack (Rideau) Coun. Brian Reitzel Corporation was already seeking Official Plan and zoning changes to permit a 72,000 square foot commercial development that’s anchored by a 30,000 square foot supermarket, plus additional space for a pharmacy, liquor, beer and wine store, and other retail services.

North end employment centre gets a new name and location By Hiba Kesebi Reporter

It’s been a busy period for the Community Employment Resource Centre (CERC) – North. That’s because the employment centre recently adopted the name ReStart and moved to its new location on the corner of Montreal Street and John Counter Boulevard. “Some of the feedback that we received from both our clients and staff was that there was a feeling that the name CERC-north didn’t fully represent the work that we did with our clients, so we decided to use this moment of moving to a new location to adopt a new name for the agency,” explained Tyler Fainstat, Executive Director. CERC – North was rebranded to

Restart because the name encapsulates all the work the agency does with different clients. “Whether it’s a student looking for a summer job, or somebody who is on social assistance, or somebody who is laid off and looking for a new career, all these people, to some extent, are looking to make a restart in transition to a new job, new career or new opportunity,” Fainstat said. According to Fainstat, the services offered at ReStart are all client centered. New clients will meet with an employment officer for needs analysis. The employment officer will then cater the services offered at the centre on the needs of the client. “We also have what we call individual case management—people who need more support

intervention to get through some of the barriers that they may be facing to employment. These people will have an employment counsellor who will work directly with them until they find a job,” added Fainstat. The centre is funded by Employment Ontario and facilitates several of its programs like the Second Career program, which provides eligible individuals with funding to cover the costs of training for a new career. It also has a pool of funds, which can help people prepare for employment – whether that requires purchasing equipment or training for a job. “Sometimes, the barrier for someone to get a job can be buying a pair of steel toe boots, and tools, and the proper work clothes for their job opportunity and, in those cases, we can

step in and help them with the costs,” Fainstat explained. The new space, which is twice the size of the previous location, will also afford two large rooms for workshops and training seminars, he noted. Fainstat said the reason for the move was to meet the demands of clients. “We were really at limit in terms of space. We expanded a lot since opening in 2010 and we’ve more than doubled the number of clients. The demands for our services are enormous and we want to be able to continue to meet them.” The new location boasts ample parking space and 12 computer terminals, which individuals can use to work on their resumes and search for

jobs. There is no cost for any of ReStart’s services and Fainstat wants people to be aware of that. “I often get the feeling there is a lot of people sitting at home frustrated and trying to find jobs on their own. We want people to know that we are there to help and that there is a lot we can do to help them,” he explained, noting that this month 75 per cent of their clients have found employment and another 10 per cent have gone into training or school. “Our belief is, if someone comes to us and they are motivated and willing to stick with it, we will find them a job. We will work with them until they are employed,” he said. For more information about ReStart visit: www.restartnow.ca

“WE TRIM THE MEAT, NOT THE CUSTOMERS!”

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – The search for a new location to accommodate a public transit terminal in downtown Kingston is stuck in the slow lane. “We have not made a determination as to the location of the new transfer point for downtown,” said Sheila Kidd, the city’s director of transportation, during a recent interview. She says work on expanding the express bus service and regulating parking on residential streets has taken priority at the moment, and has slowed discussions to create a new downtown terminal. But she says it remains on the radar. “We do need a transfer point in the downtown. That’s key.” The current Kingston Transit hub on Brock Street, across from Hotel Dieu Hospital, is no longer considered an ideal location. It’s on a busy street that will only get busier with extra buses coming into service, Kidd explained. Transportation officials have long identified the need for a more spacious location for city buses to converge, but they say there first needs to be a detailed environment assessment on potential locations and costs, which will involve public input. “We’ve not been able to initiate that process yet. We’ve simply been too busy,” Kidd explained.

Search for new downtown transit hub has slowed, say officials

She says a consultant is expected to be hired later this year to undertake the environmental study, and to have recommendation for council on where to build a bus terminal before next spring. This will coincide with the launch of two more Kingston Transit express routes serving the central and eastern areas of Kingston. The express routes are cornerstones of a four year, $25 million expansion of the public transit system to purchase more buses, offer faster routes and attract more riders from all over the city. Kidd added: “We are very focused on implementing the new express transit service.” The first express route, offering 15-minute rush hour service between the west end and the downtown, started a year ago. She says building a new $4 million downtown terminal is crucial to the additional express routes since it will be the main transfer point for thousands of passengers traveling between the downtown and the suburbs. However, city officials have ruled out any site on the North Block for a transit hub, saying it’s no longer deemed a focal destination point for bus passengers. Kidd added: “We want to keep the major transit point downtown closer to the major employers such as the hospital, Empire Life and the City of Kingston, south of Princess Street.”

Renowned saxophonist Peter Van Huffel returns to Kingston to perform ton, Van Huffel decided it was time for a change, packed his bags and made the move to Berlin. Little did he know that years later, fate would reunite him once again with Bass and Davis. “They ended up in Berlin for a few days, and we threw a concert together, completely unrehearsed, and it just had a very magical vibe to it.” “It was very easy to play with them again, and although we were playing music that we hadn’t played together, we quickly found a way with the music,” he noted. A year and a half after that concert, the ensemble released their CD Boom Crane in June 2014. Van Huffel said he is especially proud of the way this year has panned out. “In the past I’ve released a new CD every couple of years. This year I am about to release, in a month or two, the fifth CD, which I will be featured in,” he said. The Mansion performance will take place Oct. 30 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the public and $5 for students. For more information about Van Huffel visit: www.petervanhuffel. com

of political baggage may impress voters. Downes, Hector and Paterson would do well to pay attention to Slomka’s populist stand. While this mayoral election pits the inside veterans with established track records against the outsiders who press the need for new ideas, the outcome could hinge on another factor: like-minded candidates dividing each other’s support. The Downes-Slomka and Hector-Paterson styles could split votes, and cost them victory. Sure, the mayor is only one vote on council and promising the moon during a campaign won’t amount to much unless there’s broad support from the rest of council. But that’s one of the key tests of the new mayor: to build consensus and achieve results. We’ll be watching to see if the city’s 96th mayor can actually lead the council through a new term of progress, or get mired in more 7-6 decisions.

Owen admittedly has no platform, no campaign office and few ideas to offer voters other than that he’s in the race mainly to encourage people to vote. The dark horse in this election is Slomka, who is arguably saying all the right things to loud cheers at the allcandidates’ meetings - opposing the casino and Wellington Street extension, and wanting to reopen the prison farm - while touting innovation and entrepreneurship in a platform that calls for a “cooperative, creative, compassionate” city. Slomka doesn’t try to hide the fact she’s not a long-time Kingston resident, someone who developed much of her political debating and policy skills while a student leader in Waterloo, yet her knowledge of local issues and lack

port expansion, her work on the federal municipalities’ lobby group, and her ability to lead City Hall full-time as factors for consideration. Paterson is a one-term councillor who is an eloquent speaker (and one of the few who still stands up to address the chair during debates), and is viewed as pro-development. He trumpets a live-within-our-means philosophy and seizing economic opportunities as reasons to vote for him. Both Paterson and Hector, it should be noted, were often on the winning side of the 7-6 divided council. But in elections, too much experience can also be considered a handicap among those voters who are weary of electing the same-old, same-old crowd for another four years. Many crave change. That’s where voters have an alternative choice in Scott Foster, Michael Owen or Brenda Slomka. Foster and Owen appear to be fringe candidates who are making the most of

Editorial – Voters will head to the polls October 27 to elect their mayor, councillors and school board trustees in communities across Ontario. In Kingston, the wide-open race for mayor is sure to result in a very close, still unpredictable finish. Six challengers – three councillors and three newcomers – have spent the past few weeks trying to get their messages out to the electorate. Generally speaking, candidates with some form of political experience usually have an edge over non-incumbents in elections. They have voting records to trumpet, inside knowledge of City Hall’s workings, plus first-hand experience in shaping municipal policies and deci-

sions. It worked, after all, for Mark Gerretsen. In 2010 he translated his firstterm work as Portsmouth district councillor into being elected Kingston’s 95th mayor in a landslide. Rick Downes, Dorothy Hector and Bryan Paterson hope to follow that pattern of ‘experience counts’ in the 2014 race, even though their voting history and priorities don’t always match. A recent poll indicated the three were almost in a dead heat heading into the homestretch of the campaign, but with still a large block of undecided voters. Downes has the most council experience of all the candidates and lists his past voting record, community experience, work for north end constituents and his ethics as reasons why voters should elevate his status from councillor to mayor. Hector has two terms under her belt, and was content to go for a three-peat as councillor until Gerretsen suddenly dropped out. She lists low taxes, air-

Editorial

In Our Opinion

Digital pieces of me Editorial - When I was in high school, my dad would buy me a CD whenever I did very well on a test or essay. It was a pretty brilliant motivation technique. CDs were coveted items in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s/early 2000s, especially to a teenager whose personal funds were limited. By the time I moved away to university, I had collected over 100 CDs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say they were all the result of good grades. Many I received as gifts, or bought with the money I made from my jobs. I kept my CDs in an album, to avoid the hassle of carting around and storing all the bulky cases. Over Christmas break in 2005, Steve and I left our Ottawa apartment for a couple of weeks to do our usual rounds visiting family and friends in Kingston and Niagara. We came home to find our apartment had been robbed. The next hour was a blur. Someone had emptied every drawer and closet and thrown their contents across the room. A police officer came over asked us a bunch of questions, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem very optimistic that they would find the culprit. I was left feeling violated and upset.

Worse, I lost my beloved CD collection. Convenient and portable in its album, it was probably the most valuable thing the robbers took, from both monetary and sentimental perspectives. We were students in our early 20s, after all. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have â&#x20AC;&#x153;niceâ&#x20AC;? things. But I had chosen most of that music with my dad, who played such a pivotal role in influencing my own tastes. A music collection, perhaps especially to a young adult, is a large part of who you are. The Beatles, Pearl Jam, Sarah McLachlan, The Dave Matthews Band, Tori Amos, Simon and Garfunkel and so many more - they had all helped shape me. I felt like I had lost a family member. Life went on, though, as it tends to do. I quickly discovered that music can be downloaded - ahem - much more cheaply than it can be purchased on CD. Later that year, I got my first iPod and embarked on an all-new music listening journey. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking about this experience lately because I made the decision to give away many of my books. I may have had an impressive CD collection in my day, but it was nothing compared to my book trove. Since I was a child, I have been, for lack of a better term, a book hoarder. I love everything about books - from the fact that they contain stories that entertain you to the sound the pages make when you turn them. Recently, however, I started to realize how much my ever-growing book

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

Why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re voting no to a casino collection is weighing me down. Every time Steve and I move, the thing I dread most is packing my hundreds of books into boxes, then unpacking them and trying to find room on my relatively limited bookshelf space all over again. So over the last month, people have come over to my house to raid my bookshelves. Only they were friends, not robbers, and giving my books to them was mostly a pleasure. Mostly. Admittedly, thoughts like - â&#x20AC;&#x153;what if I want to read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter again someday?â&#x20AC;? often came to mind. But the reality is that this and all my books still exist in the world - at the library, in e-book form, or, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really missing something, the bookstore. Plus, I adore the idea of people I know and like discovering books Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed because of me. It makes me feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing a good deed, even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimately self-serving. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m preparing to donate many more of books to the library book sale, keeping only those I truly canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear to part with. The experience has made me feel lighter, freer, less intimidated by the thought of moving. While I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go so far as to compare a Kobo to an iPod, I do see a benefit to being less tied down by heavy, physical things by making use of digital technology. Just because these things are not physically present in my house at all times, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them less of a part of me.

8 Kingston Heritage - Thursday, October 23, 2014

Editorial - When Kingston goes to polls on Oct. 27, there will be an additional box to tick along with the usual mayor, councillor and school board trustee choices. Kingston voters will get to have their say as to whether or not they would like to see a casino in the Limestone City. Voter participation is crucial in the referendum, however, as the results will not be considered binding without 50 per cent of eligible voters casting their ballot. (That says, one wonders how the public might respond to city officials who ignore a more modest sampling.) We tend to agree with the Downtown Kingston! Board of Management, who in 2012 unanimously came out against building a casino in downtown Kingston. Their view, supported by a sizeable majority of academic scholarship, holds that instead of contributing to the vibrancy and economic life of downtown cores, casinos actually act as siphons, increasing traffic and congestion while actually taking away from foot traffic from customers perusing local shops and restaurants. Of course, that may not apply if the OLG decided instead to build outside of the downtown area. However, we discovered last year that is not a very attractive option for the OLG, as it holds few advantages over maintaining the facility in Gananoque. For many would-be investors, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown or nothing.Â The strongest arguments we hear from casino supporters are almost always economic in nature: increased tax revenue in the form of transfers from the province will enable Kingston to contribute more funds to big ticket projects such as the long awaited third crossing and other important cultural and infrastructure investments. But what if these perceived gains were nothing more than a short-term illusion? Field research compiled throughout the U.S. has shown that for every $1 the legalized gambling industry contributes in taxes, it usually costs taxpayers at least $3 - and sometimes much more than that. The true price is also reflected in the increased infrastructure costs, high regulatory costs, increased expenses to the criminal justice system, and, all too often very, very high social welfare costs. (John Warren Kindt:Â The Business-Economic Impacts of Licensed Casino Gambling in West Virginia: Short-Term Gain but Long-Term Pain) The fourth point is an important one, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no getting around it. Kindt finds that gambling â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes poor people poorerâ&#x20AC;?, and tends to intensify pre-existing social welfare problems. In doing so, it takes even more money out of the local economy. He cites a 1995 report from the state of Wisconsin, which found that without casinos,Â many local citizens would have increased participation in other â&#x20AC;&#x153;outsideâ&#x20AC;? activities: â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 10 per cent of the locals would spend more on groceries if it were not for the casino, while nearly one-fourth would spend more on clothes. 37 per cent said that their savings had been reduced since the casino had opened.â&#x20AC;? At the end of the day, even the most ardent casino supporters must admit that casino moneyÂ isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made inside of a vacuum: environmental, health, and societal factors must enter into the equation.Â We believe that for many Kingstonians, the chances of profiting from a casino are roughly equal to that of a shell game.Â

Re: Stop signs vs. speed humps ignite heated council debate Dear editor, I am writing this letter in response to the remarks by Councillors regarding the use of traffic control measures in the City of Kingston. For several years now I have been following Council’s attempt to address perceived traffic problems in Kingston. Council seems to think that the solution to a real or perceived traffic problem is to install a traffic signal, build speed humps, or the favourite, ALL WAY STOPS. Don’t bother to have the staff look into a reasonable solution based on traffic engineering. Now, why is it that people who are fortunate enough to get elected to Council become experts in everything they are now called upon to deal with. They’ve now become experts in traffic, planning, environment and the ‘ in ‘word in Kingston - sustainability. If these elected people have the expertise to deal with these matter just think of the savings the City would accrue if the qualified staff were eliminated. Of course we aren’t going to do this so Council must utilize the staff that you have available and come out looking like winners. A quote in Bill Hutchins’ article speaks to my concerns. The mayor said “ I am very concerned about the inconsistency of information given to City Council with respect to traffic calming and controlling measures.” What confidence is he showing. He must take responsibility. He hired them. As well as our Mayor displaying his lack of knowledge, Coun. Lisa Osanic now says “residents are now getting tired of speed bumps and stop signs are a better compromise.” Pardon. She has been a proponent of speed humps as a safety measure (which they aren’t) and now she wants to get rid of them and use stop signs. My own personal choice, and one she shows support for, is more unwarranted traffic signals. They are a bargain at about $200,000 per instal-

lation and do a great job of paralyzing traffic. Sure makes our city more sustainable. Oh, by the way, for residents who haven’t driven down Lincoln Drive between Bayridge and Development Drive, there are two brand new speed bumps. (Sorry, humps.) I wonder how many of our residents are aware that the installation of traffic signals is based on a warrant that is used by traffic engineering departments across North America. The purpose of this warrant is to ensure that the signal is, in fact, required. It is intended to provide sufficient time for traffic or pedestrians on a side street to cross or enter a busy road. It’s not an accident reduction measure. In fact, in some cases accidents increase. More and more unwarranted signals are being installed here in Kingston because of POLITICAL concerns. A classic example is at Clarence and Ontario Streets where signals were installed a year or so ago in response to a fatal pedestrian accident. A less restrictive measure, and one which would prevent similar type accidents, would have been to ban left turns from Clarence Street to Ontario Street. Cost of signals $200,000 + cost of signs $200. It’s not unusual now to see traffic backed up all along Ontario St. because of these lights. Idling vehicles will do nothing to help Kingston reach its goal as Canada’s most sustainable city. ... I have one other suggestion to make. Would it be possible for City staff to try to negotiate with the owners of CTC, Lowes, Toy R Us, Wal Mart and Loblaws to provide internal access to their stores in the Gardiners Road Midland area. The benefits are self evident - easy and safer access to all their stores and reduced traffic on these busy roads. Respectfully submitted,

Arnie Hall Kingston

Have Your Say – Protecting Energy Consumers

Ontario Energy Commission de l’énergie Board de l’Ontario

How well are consumers protected in Ontario’s retail energy market? That’s the question the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is looking at with its review of the Energy Consumer Protection Act. The Act deals with energy retailing to low-volume consumers in the province. Just over 300 thousand residential and small business consumers in Ontario currently have contracts with electricity retailers; 362,000 have contracts with natural gas marketers. Please visit www.ECPAreview.ca and fill out the on-line survey to share your views on consumer protection with the OEB.

Good deal? Feds say Marine Museum can buy waterfront land for $1 By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Is the offer too good to be true? The federal government is willing to sell its prime waterfront property - including land around Kingston’s Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, historic dry dock and nearby deep water dock - for the grand sum of $1. “The $1 is a verbal offer,” said Chris West, chair of the museum’s board of the directors. He remains optimistic the 40-year-old non-profit museum, with help from the city, can move from being a tenant to owning the property at 55 Ontario Street, which Public Works and Government Services Canada is eager to sell. “The $1 deal would actually see the Feds give the property to the city. They would own it for a nanosecond and then flip it to the museum,” West explained. But before the token land purchase is made, the keepers of the well-known attraction, with its red coast guard icebreaker parked out front, must complete their due diligence. West is under no illusion that land ownership could come with millions of dollars in hidden environmental liabilities. The 1.5 hectare (3.8 acre) property was once used for heavy industrial work. “It could cost millions of dollars to remediate,” he added. A city staff report to council last June estimated remediation costs could be as high as $19 million. That’s when councillors waived their chance to buy the property due to the high risk to taxpayers, leaving the museum to try and strike its own deal. Failing that, Ottawa could sell the land on the open market. Museum officials are first eager to gain access to a raft of studies that were conducted for the federal government. “In order to do that we have to sign a non-disclosure agreement,” said West of the secrecy that’s involved. The museum is expected to sign confidentiality papers in the next few weeks allowing them access to federal engineering studies that will detail the site condition and whether the $1 purchase offer is actually worth it. “The city’s position on this has been: Beware of a gift horse,” West added. The federal government once offered to sell the LaSalle Causeway to the city for $1, but councillors balked at the offer because of the millions of

dollars in extra maintenance costs that would come with municipal ownership of the transportation link. However, West remains optimistic a deal can be made and the museum can find private investors to help finance the clean up and redevelop of the property. Until the site assessment studies are analyzed by museum officials, the federal government has provided the museum with a “verbal” assurance that it can remain on site when its lease expires at the end of this year. “They’re saying ‘We’ll cut you some slack on the lease.’ It’s a discretionary extension as long as we’re making progress,” West explained. The marine museum, a fixture of the waterfront since 1975, holds an extensive collection of 3,000 artefacts, 11,000 books, 40,000 ship’s plans, 15,000 images and other archives. West says there is enormous potential to not only preserve the museum in its current home, but to improve access to the historic 1891 dry dock, decommissioned Alexander Henry ship and the Union Street Jetty, a crumbling deep water dock

that’s unable to safely accommodate docked ships. West says private investors from inside and outside Kingston have already expressed interest in partnering with the museum to purchase and preserve the attraction, fix up the crumbling dock and develop other areas of the prime real estate. He envisions a new residential development, plus fixing up the jetty to accommodate larger cruise ships. “If

we can find a developer interested in making a go of it as a Brownfield, then why not?” City officials are expected to brief the new council in December on the status of ownership talks involving the museum and the federal government. Even though the city has no interest in acquiring the site, councillors earlier agreed to lend municipal staff expertise to help the museum explore ownership opportunities.

Famed frontman Steven Page shares his journey through mental illness By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

News - Former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page has lived with mental illness for most of his life; now, he’s on a mission to pass on what he has learned from these experience to others, and bring awareness to what can be done to improve how both our healthcare system and society at large views and responds to mental illness. The Heritage chatted with Page in advance of his Oct. 22 appearance as guest speaker at the mental health conference Doing Whatever it Takes: Ethics in ACTion, which is being hosted by Providence Care over several days at the Ambassador. “Some of my struggles have been fairly public, so I felt it was worthwhile for me to share my experiences,” Page says, explaining that he first began doing these talks when he was invited on an episode of the CBC Radio program The Current. “That was such a popular episode that they brought me back to do a phone-in show and since then I’ve had a lot of offers to come speak to people.” Now, Page speaks at several mental healthrelated events every month. “At first I wondered what I had to offer

that was different from all the others, but I think one of the biggest things is to show people that [although] the struggle continues for anybody who deals with mental health issues and there are ups and downs, it is possible to [be treated and learn how to cope].” He notes that right from the start, it can be difficult for doctors to determine exactly what form of mental illness a patient has. Page himself has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder by different doctors. “Unlike so many other illnesses, they can’t just take a swab of your cheek or take a blood sample and come back and say ‘you suffer from anxiety.’ Essentially, it’s based on questions and answers and there are some of us who have been in the system long enough that we kind of know what the right or wrong answers might be.” He’s also personally experienced some of the hurdles those seeking help for mental illness experience in the Ontario healthcare system. “I’ve had a 10 month wait before I could see a psychiatrist. I had a great family doctor and after several different tries I ended up with a therapist I was very happy with. But OHIP doesn’t cover that so it leaves out everybody else who can’t afford that.”

with mental illness. “I’m not there to provide them with answers. I’m there to illustrate my own experiences and my own observations. A healthcare professional has to know that there is so much shame that comes along with [mental illness], that [it’s a big step when] somebody has actually worked up the nerve to come and see them.

While Page has a great respect for GPs and other doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who are doing their best for patients, he says that there is still a long way to go in terms of the system as a whole. “I always encourage people, especially as it gets get close to election times and so on, to make sure that this becomes a political issue as well. This kind of healthcare can’t be ignored.” When giving his talks, Page often brings a guitar up on stage and uses music to illustrate his points. “If you think back about some of the music that I’ve written over the years, one of the most popular songs is Brian Wilson. It’s a song that has a lot of different meanings, but it’s truly a song about depression and also about the power of music to either help you through it or help lift you out of it. It can often be soothing, or help somebody articulate how they’re feeling in a way that they may not have been able to before.” He is quick to add, however, that people tend to falsely romanticize mental illness in artists, thinking that it somehow helps to make them be more creative; this is far from the case. “For me, when I’m at my most depressed, I’m completely unproductive. When I’m on a more manic swing, I don’t have the attention span to accomplish something or tell if something’s good or not. What I aim for is that middle ground of evenness. Then I have the experience of the struggle that I can draw upon, but I have the clarity of mind to work my craft. I would take that any day over the more trying times.” Page hopes that by sharing his story with healthcare professionals at the Providence Care conference, they will gain more awareness of the issues faced by all people living

Michael Owen encourages Kingstonians to ‘vote for the issues that matter to them’ By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Micheal ‘Mo’ Owen has lived in Kingston his entire life and until recently, he was also a business owner downtown. He is passionate about the city and its people and that passion is what pushed him to run for mayor. “I am just somebody who lives and works in the community and I just thought instead of throwing my hands up and just

accepting things how they are, I would get involved,” explained Owen. “I am trying to show that anyone can get involved and anyone can have a voice.” While Owen has never sat on council, he has been involved with numerous community and non profit groups, and he has volunteered with many organizations over the years. These experiences have shown Owen that people really need a voice in the community and that elections are about more than three or four big issues.

“We have the major issues of the third crossing and the casino and while those are certainly important there are so many more. I am interested in bringing in the concerns of other people and other community members that have smaller voices. They have less access to media and it is harder for their issues to be given time amongst councillors or mayoral candidates.” As part of his platform, Owen wants to focus on green space protection, homelessness in the city, lower income assistance, heritage designations for buildings, curbing development and many other issues. “There are at least 50 different issues to look at and my platform is really built on input from other people. I am just trying to carry their issues forward and get some attention for those issues. I just want to show people that their voice is important and can be heard.” Owen also hopes to focus on local business and not only attracting new businesses, but also maintaining existing business

centres. “Downtown is dying and that isn’t just an issue downtown. We have lost businesses in the north and east ends of the city too. We need to be thinking about how to maintain and attract businesse and make sure both components are part of the discussion.” Owen would also like to see development in the north end of the city and specifically a library in the area. “There are a lot of lower income rentals out there and a lot of the people don’t have access to books or internet and the library can remedy that. It can also become a community centre and provide a space for other activities.” Overall, Owen just hopes to give voice to smaller issues and encourage people to vote. He hopes that when people go to the polls they really think about what is important to them and use those issues to inform their decision. “I would love for people to vote for me, but I am not in this for me and this isn’t me trying to get hired for a job. I am asking people, more importantly, to vote for a person who represents the issues that they care about. Get involved and get out and vote. Make your voice heard.”

The “Latin American Bob Dylan” to play in Kingston Aric McBay Columnist

Events - Renowned Cuban musician Carlos Varela will perform in Kingston Oct. 30 at the new Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. Known as “The Latin American Bob Dylan,” Varela has produced eight CDs and toured Europe, the Caribbean, and North America.

Karen Dubinsky, professor of Global Development Studies and History at Queen’s University, organized Varela’s visit. “It’s a great privilege to invite a musician of Varela’s international stature to perform in Kingston,” said Dubinsky. “The Isabel theatre is such a beautiful venue, we are lucky to have it here and to be able to use it for a wide variety of musical styles.”

Often called “the voice of a generation,” Varela is an immensely popular singer-songwriter in Cuba. He plays in the neuva trova tradition of music, a style that first emerged out of the Cuban Revolution. Neuvo trova is political music—hence the comparisons to Bob Dylan—though the political content of Varela’s music is more poetic than polemic. Varela has been critical of poli-

cies of both the American and Cuban governments. During the Bush years Varela couldn’t tour in America because, as was the case for most Cuban artists, he was refused entry to the U.S. But the Cuban government also thought him controversial. During the 1980s, while Varela gained mass popularity in Cuba, his music could rarely be heard on Cuban radio except in the middle of the night. Raised in Havana, a young Carlos Varela played the guitar and sang with his friends during frequent blackouts. And in an interview with Dubinsky, Varela attributed some of Cuba’s cultural vitality to the challenges the country has faced. Varela explains that “in terms of music, literature, and film—wow! This country is eternally boiling. I mean, wherever you look. If you have very open eyes, and the sensibility to connect with what’s happening, there is incredibly creative energy and motivation. I think there are creative impulses all over the world, but in Cuba there is so much passion and so many contradictions in everything that happens, every day, it’s fuel for the creator. You know there is an expression here, you kick a stone and out pops an

artist.” This isn’t Varela’s first visit to Kingston; not only has he performed here before, but in June he received an honorary degree from Queen’s University “in recognition of his musical talent and the importance of his voice inside and outside Cuba.” The concert coincides with the launch of a new book: My Havana: The Musical City of Carlos Varela, edited by Maria Caridad Cumana, Karen Dubinsky and Xenia Reloba, and published by the University of Toronto Press. The concert will take place Thursday, October 30th at 7:30pm at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts (390 King Street). Advance tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for students, available online at http://www.theisabel. ca or at Novel Idea bookstore (156 Princess Street). Tickets also available at the door: $20 / $15 for students. The concert is organized by the Queen’s University Department of Global Development Studies, with support from the George Taylor Richardson Fund and the Departments of Film and Media Studies, and History.

Mike Bromley hopes to improve the islands with his business and finance knowledge mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – Mike Bromley moved to Wolfe Island 10 years ago. He was looking for a place to raise his two young children and the island seemed like the perfect place. “I wanted them to be raised in the same type of place I was raised, which was a rural environment,” explained Bromley, a retired businessman and entrepreneur. “I visited this area when I was younger and loved it and I still do, but now I see that some changes need to be made at the municipal level.” Thus he decided to run for the position of mayor in Frontenac Islands. “The catalyst that made me decide to run is what I see as a misuse of the wind farm amenities money and just general handling of money here,” explained Bromley. “Right now, Wolfe Island at least, has been subsidizing the tax increase with wind farm money and not really planning for the future.” This lack of planning, according to Bromley, will ultimately result in a tax increase for the residents of the Frontenac Islands and an increased need to borrow money to

keep the municipality afloat. These choices are unacceptable to Bromley. “I believe my skills as a successful entrepreneur are transferable to local government, providing a fresh approach to the status quo. The big thing that is different about me is that my background is entirely business. I have never been elected to anything. I basically start a company and run it and I have had multiple businesses over the years with many of them running concurrently. I have no doubt that I can handle the finances of the municipality more effectively.” Bromley would also look at improving the ferry systems if elected. He knows that heavy traffic during peak periods and during the summer are a huge problem for the Wolfe Island ferry and there are issues with the Howe Island ferry as well. “The Howe Island ferry has issues with the bubbler system that allows it to operate in the winter. It was not maintained because we had so many mild winters and then last winter we had a lot of issues. Ferries are definitely something that needs to be a high priority out here.” Campaigning has been a bit challenging for Bromley, especially because the two major islands are so different, with unique

concerns and issues. Bromley hopes to shift the focus from smaller issues in the municipality to larger issues, at least in terms of the role of the mayor. “It is almost like campaigning in two different countries,” added Bromley. “The everyday things that occur in municipalities are really things that staff can handle for the most part. In a small municipality like this, those are sometimes the things that bog government down.” Overall, Bromley would just like to see the finances at a reasonable level in the municipality. He is confident that he can make positive changes and he hopes others will see that too. “I think I am best able to deal with the financial situation that we are in, especially in terms of the Municipal Asset Management Plan,” said Bromley. “I think we need a money guy, a business guy to navigate this situation, not a bunch of politicians who are going to spend money on reports. We need to get our house in order and I think I can do that.”

Mike Bromley is running for the position of mayor in the Frontenac Islands municipality.

Stay safe when cleaning gutters may seek the warmth of clogged gutters when temperatures dip to near or below freezing. Cleaning gutters is not that complicated, and many homeowners can clear their gutters of debris in a typical weekend afternoon. But the ease of cleaning gutters should not overshadow the safety risks homeowners take when climbing a ladder to clear out their gutters. The following are a few safety tips for homeowners to keep in mind when cleaning their gutters. * Wear appropriate clothing. Loose-fitting clothing should not be worn when cleaning gutters. Such attire is a tripping hazard and can easily compromise your balance by catching on the gutter or ladder as you reach to remove debris. Wear clothing that does not hang off of you and choose pants that do not fall below your sneakers. Pants that might be a little long in the leg can catch under your feet as you climb the ladder, momentarily costing you your balance and possibly leading to a fall. When choosing footwear, avoid old sneakers or work boots without much traction, opting instead for footwear that easily grips each rung of the ladder. * Don’t forget safety gear. Many people forget to wear safety gear when cleaning their gutters. Such

forgetfulness increases your risk of injury. When cleaning gutters, always remember to wear work gloves, which can protect your hands as you dig into gutters. Should you reach into a gutter without gloves on and grab something sharp, not only will you be cut but also you may be so startled that you lose your balance and fall off the ladder. In addition to work gloves, wear a dust mask and safety goggles when cleaning gutters to prevent debris from getting into your mouth and eyes. * Work with a partner. Cleaning gutters alone is a recipe for potentially devastating injury. Even if you are not afraid of heights, scaling a ladder is not something to take lightly. Ladders can be shaky, especially on brisk autumn afternoons when the wind kicks up. Working with a partner when cleaning gutters ensures someone is below you to hold the ladder steady in case of a stiff wind or if your jostling unintentionally shakes the ladder. Working with a partner also means someone is there to seek help should you fall off the ladder or suffer another type of injury that requires medical attention. * Use a trowel instead of your hands. Digging into the gutter with your hands, even if those hands are covered by gloves, is an unnecessary risk that can leave you susceptible

dumping the debris you dig out with your trowel, dump it into a large garbage bin below. If you miss the bin every now and again, you can always sweep up after the job is completed. Few homeowners look forward to cleaning their gutters. But such a task is necessary to prevent water and roof damage to your home. When cleaning the gutters, remember to place safety at the top of your priority list.

to injury. When cleaning the gutters, dig out the debris with a trowel. * Dump debris below into a large garbage can. When cleaning the gutter, do not carry a bucket with you to the top of the ladder. Carrying something as you climb up a ladder only increases your risk of injury. In addition, a bucket full of debris placed at the top of a ladder may tip over and compromise your balance. When

Come the fall, when trees start to shed their leaves and winds pick up in advance of winter, gutters can easily become clogged with all sorts of debris. When clogged gutters are not cleaned out, a host of potentially costly issues can result, making gutter cleaning an essential autumn chore no homeowner should ignore. Fully functioning gutters direct water away from the structure of a home and into nearby drainage systems. When clogged, gutters cannot direct that water away, and the result is often costly water damage to the home’s foundation. Water that is not directed away may find its way into the basement of a home, causing issues with flooding and mold. But clogged gutters also prevent water from leaving a roof, possibly leading to costly roof repairs and damage to the roof that can put a home’s inhabitants in danger. When snowfall accumulates on a roof, melting snow needs to make its way off the roof via the gutters. If those gutters are clogged with debris leftover from the fall, roof damage, including leaks, is more likely to occur. Clogged gutters also make a welcome respite for unwelcome pests, including rodents and insects. In the warmer months, clogged gutters may make an inviting home to mosquitoes and other pesky insects, while rodents

As the leaves fall off the trees and greenery thins out for the season, exposing branches and undergrowth along the way, homeowners may be tempted to prune their trees and shrubs. But while autumn pruning may seem like a good idea, many gardening experts say it is often best for homeowners to wait until winter or early spring before pruning. Although pruning does thin out branches and tame spent blooms, which can be eyesores, pruning also stimulates new growth. Pruning in the autumn, when plants are naturally preparing to go dormant, can weaken the plants considerably. This can compromise their chances of surviving into the next growing season. Fall temperatures also can be deceiving. While it may be warm during the day when the sun is shining, temperatures can quickly drop overnight. Pruning during the warmth of day, when the sap has risen in the plants, may deplete energy from the plant. When the mercury drops at night, the plant can suffer. If you must spend time in the yard in the fall, tend to the leaves and debris that have already fallen to the ground rather than focusing energy on fall pruning. If you have been diligent during the spring and summer, your shrubs and other plants likely won’t need pruning at this time of year. Wait until winter before taking out the shears. At this point, the woody parts of many plants are dormant and will not be harmed or

primed to grow by the pruning. Chances are you won’t prune too much as well, as chilly temperatures will keep you from spending too much time outdoors. When it’s time to prune, consider these other pointers. * Keep tools clean and in good working order. You risk injury if your tools are dull and in poor shape overall. Spend time sharpening pruners and keep manual tools oiled and clean. Debris can lodge itself in clippers, making it more difficult to open and shut them. Wash and dry tools after use, especially when dealing with diseased plants. Otherwise you risk spreading disease to healthy plants. * Cut back stems completely. It’s usually a good idea to prune branches back to the main stem. Leaving a portion sticking out can catch on people or animals and produce a gathering spot for bacteria and insects. Take out thinner, smaller shoots first before moving on to any dead or dying branches. * Prune dry branches. Do not prune when plants are wet. Pruning damp plants encourages the growth of microbes that can infiltrate the plant. This is not as significant a problem in the winter, when microbes have already been killed. * Ask an expert. If you are unsure of how and when to prune particular plants, consult with an expert at a nursery or wherever you buy your plants.

He also thanked CAO Plumley for her questioning of the OPP regarding their new plan. “you drilled right into it. Do take them up on the ‘what can you do for us sooner than later. In the same vein, Councillos Nossal noted that with the increasing policing costs, it would be good to have figures on the costs of comparable police forces for budgeting purposes.

EMC news- You might expect things to slow down for township councils this late into the election period but that was not the case at the busy though shorter October Frontenac Islands council meeting that also welcomed a roomful of interested citizens to Howe Island. Considering the new procedure and hefty increase for financing OPP police services in communities, council also welcomed OPP Inspector BJ MacDonald and Staff Sgt. Cary Churchill what it all might mean for the municipality since , as they say, the new policing formula is a done deal. Inspector Mac Donald explained that sixty percent of the costs are fixed. Forty percent of the costs are based call for service. This year already there have 148 calls for Frontenac Islands, that is about one per day. The overall cost is increasing from $70.00 per household to $110.00 in 2015 and over the next 4 years will increase to $257.00 per household. Keeping in mind that this cost includes the 40%, based on calls for service, this is somewhat controllable within the township. In other words how much we use them is how much

we pay for that 40% portion. “We can reduce some of that by having a tranquil community,” Inspector MacDonald said. “It is your breakins, robberies, accidents, etc. that raise costs. All calls are weighted, primary, secondary.” In response to CAO Plumley’s question about what the municipality will get from the 60%, MacDonald said, “We don’t have more people. We have to be strategic about what we do with our resources, when and where we put them. You will have to ask and it will fall to us in our planning. You will also need to establish a Crime Prevention plan just as you have Emergency preparedness Plan,” he said. The OPP are doing more analysis of needs according to the Inspector. Their intention to be proactive. They will consider within the base program more seatbelt checks, the Ride Program, speed checks , etc. with more good things coming. Mayor Doyle noted that even the presence of an OPP vehicle on the islands make a difference in the community. A couple of things to note. For public and officer safety there are usually two officers per call. The OPP are also moving to a “Closest to Call” system meaning regard-

Music as performance art Dr. Mark Sirett, Founding Artistic Director of the Cantabile Choirs, consistently pushes the limits, going places where many conductors or composers fear to wander. It all pays off on stage, when you get to hear some of the most unique music possible. All concerts are held at Sydenham Street United Church. The theme for Cantabile’s 19th season is Postcards. The season features five main-stage concerts that feature the awardwinning choirs comprised of almost 300 singers, guest artists and instrumentalists. Sirett explained that in planning the season and looking at a variety of focused

theme concerts, they recognized that all the concerts seemed to represent some form of international travel as much as anything. Postcards became the overriding motif. “Then we started to focus in on specific titles,” he said. “We already knew the first concert was going to be dedicated to something dealing with the First World War.” The season opens on Saturday November 8 with Letters Home, a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the First World War. The concert focuses on peace, understanding and, above all, hope. As rehearsals were under way for the concert, Sirett received serendipitous information. “We were working on Letters Home and a woman in our Women’s Choir came to rehearsal during the second week with stack of postcards her grandfather had sent home during the First World War,”

said Sirett. “A lot them were photos of the troops and what they were saying. There’s a part of our history we easily forget about. When she showed up with the postcards, it really brought it home.” The Letters Home concert will explore more than the First World War. “We touch on the Vietnamese War, World War II, the Serbo-Croation conflict,” said Sirett. “We want people to feel the prevailing message of the evening is largely promoting hope for the future, harmony and reconciliation.” He said that they wanted to be careful not to be seen as glorifying war yet recognizing it as part of our past and looking to the future with a need for greater awareness. “Part of our presentation, rather than a pre-concert, is having Jamie Swift [if PeaceQuest] offer a retake on how important the First World War was for Canadian identity. His (free) presentation will be held

at 2 pm. The concert itself is at 7:30 in the evening.” Letters Home is co-sponsored by Cancoil Thermal Corporation, a long-time Cantabile supporter, as well as first-time partner PeaceQuest. The message of Letters Home, offered through poetry and music, is that through peace and understanding all will be well. The evening will also feature the world premiere of Canadian composer Sarah Quartel’s newly commissioned work.

Cantabile’s 2014/15 season opens on November 8 with Letters Home, an evening representing hope on the anniversary of the First World War. The season’s theme is Post Cards. The second concert of the season will be Cantabile’s annual Christmas event, this Continued on page 26

How to stay safe on wintry roads Many people will remember the winter of 2013-14 for all the wrong reasons. Record low temperatures and heavy snowfall were the story last winter. With winter now on the horizon once again, many motorists are looking for ways to ensure their daily commutes or holiday trips to visit family and friends are as safe as possible. When wintry conditions, including snowfall, compromise driving conditions, it’s best for motorists to stay home. But avoiding roadways altogether is not always an option, so motorists who simply must venture out onto the roadways this winter can employ the following strategies to ensure they safely arrive at their destinations. • Consider winter tires. Many drivers are unsure if they need winter tires. All-season tires may suffice for those drivers who live in regions where heavy snowfall is uncommon. But winter tires are designed to perform when the temperatures are especially cold and in driving conditions featuring ice, slush and snow. Drivers who live in regions where snowfall is significant or even expected to be significant may want to install winter tires just to be on the safe side. Some drivers mistakenly believe that vehicle features such as anti-lock braking systems and traction control make their tires more capable of handling wintry roads. But such features do not provide more traction. ABS and traction control only prevent drivers from over-braking or overpowering the traction of their tires. Only better tires will improve traction. • Drive slowly. Many drivers mistakenly believe they only need to drive slow when snow is falling. But winter weather can make roadways unsafe even in areas that have not witnessed a single snowflake fall from the sky. Wet winter roads can quickly turn into icy winter roads, and no ABS system or traction control device can prevent a car that’s traveling too fast from skidding out. Poor visibility is another reason to drive slowly in winter. Peripheral vision is often compromised when driving in winter, as dirt, salt or sand buildup on windshields and side windows and mirrors can make it hard for motorists to fully view their surroundings. Even if your vision is not compromised, a fellow motorist’s might be. So ease up on the gas pedal in winter so you have more time to

react to potentially adverse conditions. • Don’t drive too closely to other motorists. In addition to driving slowly, motorists also should leave extra room between their vehicles and the vehicles in front of them. In such conditions, for every 10 miles per hour drive a minimum of four car lengths behind the motorist in front of you. So if you are driving 50 miles per hour, be sure to leave 20 car lengths between you and the car ahead of you. This gives you ample time to react and builds in some extra response time should your visibility be compromised. • Maintain your vehicle. A vehicle should be maintained regardless of the season, but it’s especially important that your vehicle perform at its peak in winter. A vehicle’s battery and windshield wipers are a winter driver’s best friend, but only if they are operating at optimal capacity. Being stranded on a

Falling leaves present a beautiful safety hazard

Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of color and fall from the trees is a favorite activity each fall. Drivers travel near and far to witness spectacular and colorful displays of fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak hues in their respective areas of the country. While falling leaves can be a sight to behold, those leaves can become a nuisance to drivers in various ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed by falling leaves can help motorists protect their vehicle and themselves. Staining Leaves can do more than just stain driveways; they also can damage a vehicle’s paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and other chemicals that leach out of the leaves stay on a car for an extended period of time, they can cause an outline stain and damage to the paint. It’s important to manually pick leaves

off of the car’s surface right after they fall. Do not sweep them away; otherwise the leaves can scratch the paint surface. When all the leaves have been removed, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle. Should stains be present already, use a commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive paint cleaner. Tackle one stain at a time. Clogging Leaves that fall can become trapped in air intake vents, eventually impeding flow and causing odors. Leaves that fall in the groove of the windshield by the windshield wipers should be removed. Use a high-powered shop vacuum to remove any leaves that are imbedded in the venting. Check other areas of the car where leaves can become problematic, such as under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust pipe.

Slippery surfaces The Car Care Council notes that wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make roadways quite slippery, even as slippery as roadways when snow is falling. Drivers should slow down when roads are covered with wet leaves and take turns and off-ramps more carefully. Dry leaves also can pose problems, as they tend to accumulate at the edges of roads, where they easily can obscure curbs or street markings. Leaves may fill potholes, giving the false impression that a road is smooth and causing damage to tires and suspension systems when drivers drive over them. Autumn leaves may be beautiful to see, but they can complicate driving and fall car care. Motorists should keep their cars clear of leaves and use caution on roadways.

So what can be done to improve fuel economy in the winter? Fortunately, drivers can take several steps to do just that. • Park the vehicle in a garage. Leaving your car in the driveway in the winter means you might have to dig the vehicle out come winter snowstorms. But that’s not the only inconvenience of parking your vehicle outside in the winter, as doing so can adversely affect its fuel economy. When possible, park the car in the garage, as this increases the initial temperature of the engine, engine oil, drive-line fluids, and the vehicle’s cabin. This can shorten the time it takes for the engine to reach its most fuel-efficient temperature while decreasing the engine and transmission friction that negatively impacts fuel efficiency. • Disregard conventional wisdom. Conventional wisdom has long suggested that idling a vehicle for several minutes will warm up the engine more quickly than simply driving. But many vehicle manufacturers now recommend that drivers idle their vehicles for no more than 30 seconds, noting that idling the car unnecessarily wastes fuel and that driving the vehicle is the fastest way to warm up its engine. If you must warm up the vehicle, stick to the now widely accepted guideline that recommends idling for no more than half a minute. Another nugget of conventional wisdom motorists may want to ignore concerns the motor oil they use in the winter. Many vehicle manufacturers now recommend a specific type of oil to use when driving in cold weather, so follow that advice instead of adhering to past practices that may not have been as fuel efficient. • Monitor tire pressure. As noted, colder temperatures decrease tire pressure, so drivers should monitor their tire pressure regularly throughout winter to keep their vehicle safe and to ensure they are not wasting fuel. • Remove the roof rack. Summer adventurists who love tying their mountain bike or kayak to their vehicles’ roof rack before heading off to explore parts unknown should remove those roof racks when the temperatures dip. Roof racks increase wind resistance and decrease fuel economy, so remove them during the offseasons. Fuel economy will almost certainly decrease when the mercury drops. But drivers can employ a number of strategies to make their vehicles more fuel efficient in cold weather.

R0012951893

Many motorists notice that their vehicles seem to get less miles per gallon in cold weather than in warm weather. That’s not a trick of the brain, as studies have shown that cars do, in fact, have poorer fuel in economy in cold weather. According to the United States Department of Energy, fuel economy tests have indicated that, when driving in short-trip city driving, a conventional gasoline car’s gas mileage is about 12 percent lower at 20 F than it would be at 77 F. The disparity is even greater in hybrid vehicles, which can see their fuel economy decline by roughly 34 percent when driven at 20 F. Before drivers can understand how to improve their winter fuel economy, it’s beneficial to learn why cold weather has such an adverse effect on a car’s fuel economy. A host of factors combine to reduce fuel economy in the winter. When temperatures dip, engine oil and other drive-line fluids also get colder, and this increases engine and transmission friction. That forces the vehicle to work harder and use more fuel. An engine also takes longer to reach its most fuel-efficient temperature when the weather outside is cold. This won’t have too great an impact on fuel efficiency when taking long trips, but the shorter the trip the less economical the vehicle’s use of fuel will be, as a shorter trip means the vehicle is spending a larger percentage of the overall drive at a less fuel efficient temperature. Another reason fuel economy suffers in the winter is the necessities and certain creature comforts drivers need when driving in the cold weather. Windshield defrosters and vehicle heating systems use a substantial amount of power, and that usage forces the vehicle to expend more energy and use more fuel. And while many drivers consider heated seats one of the greatest automotive inventions known to man, those seats also use up a lot of power that negatively impacts fuel economy. But factors outside the vehicle also impact its fuel economy in the winter. For example, colder temperatures decrease tire pressure, and that increases roll resistance, which means the car must work harder and use more fuel to get down the street than it would if it were riding on fully inflated tires in the summertime. Cold air also is more dense than warm air, and that increases aerodynamic drag on the vehicle, which then needs to use more fuel to counter the increased drag.

This Cantabile season this year, like every year, offers more than just musical entertainment. “People don’t know what to expect until they hear the concerts in this beautiful building,” said Hollie Stewart, Cantabile’s Administrative Director. “No one realizes what they are going to experience. There is something really undeniably compelling about being surrounded by human voices. It’s not like a concert of instruments. Just because you’ve been to a symphony concert, doesn’t mean you’ve experienced all there is in classical or folk music. Choral music is not the same on the radio or recordings. You really need to hear sound bounce around the room.” She explained that a Cantabile concert offers a unique opportunity to be surrounded by music. “You’ll hear the voice of a child beside a man singing bass,” she said. “The repertoire is diverse and unusual. People who hear the choral pieces understand that many of these works you just don’t hear very often. Mark [Sirett] has such an understanding of the pieces, musically and emotionally, it’s a very holistic experience.” Sirett and Stew-

art chatted about the progression of Cantabile’s concerts as being organic studies. To each of them, every song is a work of performance art. “What’s involved is more of a theatrical experience,” said Sirett. “We’re building a show that has movement from beginning to end. It’s not just a collection of individual pieces. A lot of thought is given to how those pieces really come together as a whole, and how people move onto and on the stage.” It’s all about ebb and flow said Stewart. “It involves a certain mood when one piece ends,” she said. “And what’s the best way to let people experience that and move into the next piece gently. A lot of attention is paid to that and it shows.” Sirett compared it to an architecture of music. Sales of the Cantabile season subscription series ends on October 24. After that, tickets for Letters Home (the first concert) become available. Tickets for the rest of the season go on sale on November 10. This is the best deal for live music of this quality in town.

year named Dear Santa. “The idea behind the Post Cards theme was thinking of kids sending letters to Santa,” said Sirett. “So Dear Santa seemed like a logical choice.” The Cantabile Christmas concerts on December 19 and 20, featuring carols old and new, are always a highlight of the Kingston arts year. On March 7, 2015, Cantabile wel-

chosen for the March concert is really interesting,” said Sirett. There are a lot of things I was not familiar with. There are some exciting international composers represented. Some are very young composers. Three are in their early 30s.” On April 11, Dear Mom & Dad features Cantabile’s young voices, joining with the award-winning Ajax Young Singers directed by Anna-Lynn Murphy and the McGill Conservatory Children’s Choir directed by Penni Clarke. The Cantabile concert season ends on May 23 with O Danny Boy. If ever there existed a song about longing for person or home, O Danny Boy is it. The concert features Nua, a new-age Celtic trio, which will join the choirs in the lilting airs and lively jigs of Ireland. “I’m looking forward to hearing group from Toronto, Nua,” said Sirett. “They will be part of this Irish concert. They are really high energy and have an interesting mix of styles. You can tell they have Celtic roots, but there’s something that goes beyond that. They are very exciting.”

comes a talented and vivacious international conductor, Pearl Shangkuan, as conductor-in-residence for the Wishing You Were Here concert. Shangkuan is one of the most sought-after conductors in the world. Dr. Pearl Shangkuan (professor) teaches music at Calvin College in Michigan. She directs the choirs and teaches choral conducting and choral literature. She is the chorus master of the Grammy-nominated Grand Rapids Symphony. “The repertoire Pearl [Shangkuan] has

looks forward to. He sees tours as a way to really engage with the music and fully come together as a band. “I like that the band gets tighter and more fiery as the tour progresses. I like getting to the point where you don’t have to think about playing, it’s more about just feeling it. You get into a certain routine on tour and that can be really cool for a band. There is a lot of travelling and you are always trying to catch up on sleep, but it’s worth it.” The Trews are unsure of what the New Year will bring, but MacDonald hopes that they will tour some more and get back in the studio to make more music. For now, he just hopes that people will come check out the tour. “It should be a great show. It is high energy and it’s like The Trews that people are used to seeing only better, so I hope fans will come check it out.” The Trews are playing at the Grand Theatre on Oct. 30. Tickets start at $32.50 and are available online, at the box office or by calling 613.530.2050.

Heritage Events –The last time the Trews visited Kingston, the Canadian band rocked Market Square - but when they return to the Limestone City on Oct. 30 to play the Grand Theatre, fans can expect to see something a bit different. “Some of the venues, like the Grand Theatre, are a bit more suited to acoustic shows so we are going to do two sets at those types of venues,” explained lead singer Colin MacDonald. The Trews return to Kingston with a show at the Grand Theatre on Oct. 30. The first set will be acoustic, and the second set electric. “We’ve been experimenting and it’s a lot of fun,” MacDonald says. “We are kind of opening for ourselves.” The show is part of the ‘Rise in the Wake’ tour that began in mid-October and will continue until the end of the year. The band will make stops across the country playing material from their new self-titled album, and of course some old favorites, too. “We are really looking forward to the tour and all of the material is sounding pretty good live. We are having a lot of fun with it,” said We are looking for real weddings from local couples for MacDonald. “We’ve already done a COACH & TOURS our 2015 edition of Wedding trends magazine serving few shows and they went really well.

ly struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible. * Make sure all plants, including flowers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and flowers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the impression that you didn’t pay much attention to your property. Make sure all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can replant new flowers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose low-maintenance varieties that appeal to buyers who want good vibrant plants but might not want to put in much work into the garden. When selling a home, homeowners can employ a number of tactics to improve their home’s curb appeal.

hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters. * Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediate-

eowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget. * Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult do-ityourself project. * Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home. * Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks R0022947749

Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around. A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Hom-

How to increase storage in tight spaces Cozy, quaint homes attract many home buyers and renters. Be it a cottage-style house or a studio apartment, smaller living spaces often involve getting creative with storage. People live in a smaller homes for a variety of reasons. Some choose to live in a smaller home so they can be right in the thicks of things in a city or urban center. Others scale back on living space in an effort to save money. But storage space in small quarters is often at a premium, and thinking creatively is a necessity to keep the home tidy and items out of view. Rainy or chilly days are the perfect times to tackle indoor organization projects. When the outdoors isn’t beckoning, you can devote all of your attention to addressing storage issues in your home. To begin, take inventory of what you have, going through your possessions and determining what can stay and what can go. Part with anything you haven’t used in quite some time. The next step is to sort items and get organized. Then you can find a place for everything. For example, if you have a dozen bath towels but only one sauce pot, you will need to find more room for linens than kitchen cookware. You may need to borrow space from one area of the home to give to another area. The following are some additional tips to increase space in an otherwise cramped home. * Add shelves. Increase cabinet and closet space by adding shelves into them. This may double or even triple the amount of usable space, especially if you customize the shelving to fit storage containers you use to store everything from shoes to craft items. * Opt for dual-purpose furniture. Benches with lids that lift up and sofas that convert into guest beds are just a few of the many ways you can keep a small home neat and increase storage space. An ottoman is a great place to store extra blankets and linens, while a trunk or crate with a sturdy top can be used in lieu of a traditional coffee table to keep books or board games. * Think vertically. When floor space is at a premium, you may need to look up for storage. Frequently used pots and pans can be hung from a decorative rack in your kitchen. Use magnets on jars to store a spice rack on the wall near the

stove. Racks above cabinets or on doors can be used to store everything from shoes to jewelry to toiletries. Shelving in children’s rooms can store lesser used toys away from the floor. Empty walls are valuable real estate in a small home, and tall bookshelves can house a number of different things. * Take advantage of oddly shaped crevices. If you have space under a staircase or a spot by a dormer or in an attic eave, use the space to store items. You may need to get creative, such as adding a door and small closet into the staircase, but such spaces make practical storage areas and add character to a home. * Use see-through storage containers. Many people find that plastic storage bins are neater and more stackable than boxes. See-through bins enable you to quickly find items so that you are not searching around the house for lost items and creating a bigger mess along the way. Clear storage containers work in the refrigerator, too. You can more easily spot leftovers, and uniform stacking containers free up more room for bulkier items. * Make use of space beneath your bed. There likely is ample room to store more things than just dust bunnies beneath your bed. A bed frame with built-in drawers is the perfect place to keep bed linens and out-of-season clothes. Beds can be raised on blocks to create more space underneath for storing rolling plastic containers and even seldom-used suitcases. * Opt for an armoire. Armoires are not exclusive to bedrooms. Armoires can be used in dining spaces or in dens to store items out of sight. An armoire can be used when retrofitted with a pull-out shelf as a laptop desk, storing all office items behind closed doors when not needed. * Improve storage in the bathroom. Try to choose a vanity that has under-the-sink storage so you will have a place to store some toiletries. Home improvement centers sell cabinets and etageres that can be placed above the toilet tank as a storage space for bathroom items. In the shower, hang a second tension-loaded shower curtain rod on the inside of the shower enclosure that can be used to hold bags of kids bath toys and other toiletries, keeping them off the tub ledges. When you think creatively, you can maximize storage space even in a small home.

Winterize to safeguard your home from harsh weather www.maryandshannon.com Tammy Autumn is a beautiful time of year marked by welcoming cooler temperatures and the natural beauty of leaves changing colors. Autumn also has a tendency to fly by, as if the powerful weather of winter simply cannot wait to make its presence felt. With such a seemingly short time between the end of summer and the dawn of winter, homeowners know they don’t have too many weekends in between to prepare their homes for the potentially harsh months ahead. But such preparation, often referred to as “winterizing,” can make a home more comfortable when the mercury dips below freezing, while saving homeowners substantial amounts of money along the way. * Clean the gutters. Leaves falling in fall can be a beautiful sight to behold, but many of those leaves are likely finding their way into your gutters, where they can lodge and cause a host of problems down the road. If the leaves and additional debris, such as twigs and dirt, that pile up in your gutters are not cleared out before the first winter storm, the results can be costly and even catastrophic. Winter rain and snowfall needs a place to go upon hitting your roof, and gutters facilitate the travel of such precipitation from your roof into street-level drainage systems. If gutters are backed up with leaves and other debris, then ice dams may form, forcing water to seep in through the roof. That damage can be costly and can even cause the roof to collapse inward in areas with heavy snowfall. Clean gutters throughout the fall, especially if your property has many trees, and be sure to check gutters one last time before the arrival of winter. * Tend to your attic. Homeowners who have attics in their homes might want to add some extra insulation up there, especially those who recall feeling cold inside their homes last winter, which is often a telltale sign of improper insulation in a home. A good rule of thumb when determining if your attic needs more insulation

is to look for the ceiling joists. If you can see the joists, then you need more insulation. * Address leaky windows and doors. Sometimes attic insulation is not the culprit when it comes to a cold home. Oftentimes, leaky windows and doors are the real bad guys in a drafty home. Fall is a great time to inspect for leaky windows and doors, as the wind outside can serve as your partner. When the wind outside is blowing, take a tour of your home’s windows and doorways, standing next to them to determine if there any holes or leaks that are letting outdoor air inside. If you notice any leaks beneath exterior doors, install some door sweeps to keep outdoor air where it belongs. Leaks around windows can be snuffed out with caulk or weather stripping. * Test the furnace. Homeowners typically do not devote much thought to their furnaces in spring, summer and fall. But with winter on the horizon, fall is the time to test the furnace to make sure it’s ready for the months ahead. Expect a somewhat foul yet brief odor to appear when starting the furnace. That odor should dissipate shortly, but if it does not go away, then your furnace is likely in need of repair. But even if the smell does not stick around, you might want to have the furnace cleaned by a professional anyway. Such cleanings ensure the furnace works efficiently throughout the winter. * Clean the garage. You might not mind parking in the driveway during the warmer months of the year, but why subject your vehicles to harsh winter weather if you don’t have to? Clean the garage in the fall so you have an indoor parking spot throughout the winter season. Protecting your car from the elements can add years to its life and also saves you the trouble of digging your car out of the snow. Fall is a time of year for homeowners to spend a weekend or two preparing their homes for the often harsh weather that awaits when winter arrives.

munities is a great asset. A buyer’s agent will find homes and negotiate on the part of the buyer, having your best interests in mind. Because the agent will be paid a commission on a portion of the sale price, which doesn’t come out of your pocket, it is in the real estate agent’s best interest to help you find a home you can call your own. In addition, the agent will handle many of the tasks that may be overwhelming if you were doing them on your own, such as scouring available listings, waiting for inspections or filling out pertinent paperwork. With a real estate agent handling these tasks, families can remove some of the stress from the moving process. 4. Pack children’s rooms last. Young children who see favorite items disappearing into bubble wrapping and boxes may start to feel anxious. It’s not uncommon for preschoolers to act out or experience nightmares during the moving process. Maintain a sense of normalcy in the home as long as possible. Begin by packing nonessential items, only packing kids’ items when your moving date is right around the corner. Let children say good-bye to familiar haunts and even to their old home. 5. Plan a school orientation. Take advantage of any programs schools offer to acclimate kids to their new environment. Kids often leave friends behind when moving to a new home. The faster they get back to a normal routine, the better it will be for them. Schools are where children will make new friends and participate in social occasions, so tour their new schools before the school year begins, and meet with a few residents and current students to learn about special programs that may make a move less stressful for youngsters. Relocating a family can be stressful. But involving kids in the process and anticipating an adjustment period can help families adjust more easily.

2014 Municipal Election Guide

To help you decide who to vote for in this municipal election, the Kingston Heritage and Frontenac Gazette present a special election section profiling mayoral, council and English language trustee candidates in Kingston, Loyalist Township, Frontenac Islands, South Frontenac Township and Central Frontenac Township. All candidates were asked a series of questions, and all of those who returned their answers to us are listed in these pages. The official Election Day is Monday, Oct. 27, but voting is now open online and over the telephone. For more information on where and how you can vote, please contact your municipality or visit their webpage. We urge you to become educated about your choices and have your say in the future of your municipality.

City of Kingston | Loyalist Township | South Frontenac Township Central Frontenac Township | Frontenac Islands

MUNICIPAL ELECTION GUIDE We asked each candidate for mayor and district councillor in Kingston these five questions: 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your background? Why do you want to run for council? 2. What are your top priorities for the city and/or your specific district should you be elected? 3. Some exciting things are on the horizon for Kingston in terms of arts and culture. What will you do to support projects like the Tett Centre, the Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial,, and arts and culture in general?

Background:

4. Many people in certain areas of Kingston have said they feel underserved in terms of business and amenities. What can the City do to ensure each district achieves and maintains a level of service the reflects its population? 5. In our fast-paced, constantly changing and increasingly global society, the future is full of great excitement, but also many challenges. How can Kingston best meet the demands of the future in a responsible, sustainable way?

Countryside Richard Allan

Collins - Bayridge Lisa Osanic

I have been the district councillor for Collins-Bayridge for the last eight years. I enjoy helping people with their problems and making the city the best it can be. There is so much natural beauty in Kingston. I want to ensure that the natural heritage along the Collins Creek watershed is preserved. Some neighbourhoods will be hit very hard by the effects of the Emerald Ash Borer over the next few years and I want to be part of the master tree planning.

Top Priorities:

My priorities for the district are the conditions of the local roads, the need for more sidewalks, and addressing traffic concerns. Citywide, I have had a lot of questions about what council is doing to help economic growth. KEDCO will be presenting its 2015-2020 strategic plan in January and it will be imperative that the new council’s priorities align with KEDCO’s strategic plan. The economic action plans need to have specific and measurable deliverables where status updates can be

frequently published and be readily available Background to all residents. Economic growth will help I grew up on my family farm in Glenburnie and keep the city’s property tax rates as low as pos- Countryside is my home. I have a background in sible. community development and I now work at the Queen’s School of Business. Over the past few Arts and Culture: years, I have been active in the community with Since being elected in 2006, I have been a programs and projects such as Sustainable Kingssupporter of the arts and I will continue to sup- ton and the Poverty Reduction Initiative. port its funding. I have sat on the Arts ProjI’m running because Countryside should be ect Grants Committee as well as the Heritage recognized as an essential part of Kingston and Fund Operating Grants Committee. through listening to people and working collaboratively, we can ensure that’s what it becomes. Development and Services

I am willing to support developments and services that benefit each geographic area in Kingston. As a councillor, we have our own district to maintain, but we also have to balance services across the city as a whole.

I have three priorities: 1) Ensure Countryside receives fair value for its property tax contributions to the city. 2) Build stable employment and economic growth by improving support for local businesses. 3) Apply steady pressure to ensure Sustainable Future: transportation improves in Countryside, including Kingston has to be flexible and willing to investment in roads and transit. adapt to the evolving needs of modern society. City staff and City Council must keep city Arts and Culture policies and practices current, relative to the A thriving arts community is essential to the municipalities in the rest of the province.

Countryside Jeff Scott Background

I have always been fascinated by cities which is why I became an Urban Planner and then an Urban Forester. I have been lucky enough to be able to use these talents to plan, design, build and reforest several parts of the city. As a Councillor, I have been able to further use these talents to help to run the City and to make it a more efficient and pleasant place.

Top Priorities

The top priority for the City is to complete the redevelopment of John Counter Boulevard, TaylorKidd Boulevard and Gore Road as a major cross town arterial road. This includes road widening, a bridge over the CNR at the VIA station and the Third Crossing. The top priority for Countryside is to improve services such as street sweeping, pot hole filling, grass cutting, snow plowing and parks maintenance while keeping taxes low.

Arts and Culture

health of any city. I will support arts and culture by collaborating on city projects. One example would be to engage local artists to design and make beautiful our public spaces, perhaps by creating unique park benches or bicycle racks as they are installed throughout the city. Development and Services

In order to address this service gap, I propose that the city conduct an audit of property taxes across the urban and rural areas, comparing properties of similar value, the taxes paid, and the services received in each area. Once we have that data defined, Council can provide direction to ensure that all taxpayers are receiving fair service value.

Sustainable Future

A sustainable future is tied to ensuring our city has a diverse economy, options for recreation and a culture that fosters innovation. The key to all of this is collaboration, across districts, across municipalities, and across governments in order to find opportunities that will serve our city best for generations to come.

We must look at each district differently to understand their needs. It would be fair that a level of service is maintained. A system should be implemented in regard to specific requirements. A service or committee could be created to handle requests and issues properly. Sustainable Future

Kingston must continue to work with our green spaces and brownfields. We should be creating neighourhood food gardens and expand our trails and bike path. As a community we have to lower our carbon footprint and be responsible with our disposable lifestyles.

King’s Town Rob Hutchison Background

I am a long-time resident of King’s Town District with a long history of community involvement. I hope to build on my experience as a City Councillor to continue to benefit our city.

Top Priorities

My top City-wide priorities are the development of the North Block and other brownfield developments to make them tax-producing properties again. My top quality of life priorities are improving neighbourhood and city parks such as Doug Fluhrer, Friendship, Riverview and Belle Parks, extending waterfront access and trails, and traffic calming. Arts and Culture

I will continue to support the implementation of the Culture Plan for the cultural and economic benefits it brings to our city. The Tett Centre and the Sir John A MacDonald Bicentennial are special developments that I have also supported. Development and Services

The City must flexibly address its changing business and amenity needs through its poli-

cies and the Official Plan. In Kingston East, the Plan is now being amended to allow commercial development on Highway 15. The composition of businesses will be decided by the developer within the City’s guidelines. I have long supported the development of a Kingston East community centre. Sustainable Future

We must adapt to global demands by maintaining and growing the hard infrastructure conditions that are attractive to businesses through services like water and wastewater, electricity, gas, optical fibre, broadband, and prudent tax policies. Good quality of life services are also necessary to attract and keep businesses and residents such as parks and recreation opportunities, affordable housing options, waterfront access, and effectively addressing social issues. Environmental issues must be addressed through, for example, curtailing urban sprawl to limit travel-related greenhouse gases and to avoid tax increases for existing residents, active transportation and express buses, energy saving buildings, etc.

Ryan Low Background

I moved to Kingston in 2006 and graduated from Chemical Engineering in 2011, during which time I spent a year overseeing the 6 businesses and finances for the Engineering Society, after which I worked at Wooden Heads and currently I work at Bombardier in Bids and Proposals. I am running for city council because I am concerned for Kingston’s future. I want to ensure Kingston continues to grow and be the vibrant cultural, historic and livable city without the cost of living spiraling out of control. I want this city to be a place that everyone of every station and situation can have enjoyment of living in the great city, as well afford to do so.

Top Priorities

My top priorities would be to invest in infrastructure projects such as the third crossing and the wellington street extension, revitalize the downtown, one method being through low interest start up loans, and reconsider the funding cuts to the Gathering Place, a program that provides

I am a member (and sit on the Board) of the Rotary Club of Kingston and was a member of the Central Kingston PARC. Residents in King’s Town deserve a strong choice for a representative who is able to bring people together with a goal to improve relationships, solve problems, and get things done!

Top Priorities

In order to build a stronger and sustainable city, Kingston needs to be more progressive. We need to resolve key issues: the Wellington Street extension as well as challenges related to downtown businesses, snow removal, recycling, and the scheduled closure of the Gathering Place.

Arts and Culture

Culture is critical to ensuring that Kingston remains a diverse and attractive place to visit, live, work, and play. The arts showcase our diversity

and build our economy. Kingston must promote more collaborative connections between art and business, and create more accessible and affordable access to events and opportunities. Development and Services

Since amalgamation, there has not been nearly enough focus on bridging all communities and this disconnect is a detriment to everyone. Kingston needs to focus on creating a more proactive climate to support growth from businesses that will ensure the basic needs of all residents are met.

Sustainable Future

There are many challenges to overcome but it’s imperative that our community chooses representatives who embrace a collaborative approach to progress. Our individual neighbourhoods are important but it’s time to work together with a more regional mindset. Our future can no longer afford divisive attitudes. It’s time for us to stop saying – ‘Kingston has such great potential but… ‘. We need to realize our potential – take action - and effectively position the city for the future.

Sometimes, progress and development out towards the more rural areas may take a little time. In no way do I mean it’s acceptable that any resident should feel underserved, but if those who are feeling this way and their representatives can get some kind of status report, have some idea of where we are, this is how we’ll plan over time to meet these needs. They are as important as any district and when all residents feel that the city has their best interests at heart no matter which district, the city as a whole will benefit. Sustainable Future

Kingston has been doing a great job. I’m not running because I think any of the current councillors have done anything less. It may seem like a bit of an easy answer, however I’d like to see Kingston continue on the path it’s on.

Kingscout - Rideau Gordon Matthews Background

The reason behind running for city councillor is that I seem to be the only candidate that brings a great deal of experience understanding how the city operates and relation with provincial and federal gov’t. City is cooperation that has to bring in revenue to pay for essential core services like police, fire, paramedics, maintain the streets, bus services and many more services. City of Kingston make’s revenue from commercial development and commercial tax base. The city needs to have more private sector jobs. Top Priorities

Better management of city services and increase commercial tax base by attracting the private sector that Kingston is open for busi-

ness.

I’ve been involved in politics since 2011 when I first ran in the provincial election for the NDP. I remained involved and ran again in 2014. My experiences meeting Kingstonians and thinking about their needs made me want to continue in politics in whatever role I could. I’m also finishing up a PhD in Public Policy and working for a non-profit to engage young Canadians in politics. When I’m not spending time with my daughter, I’m involved in politics. Top Priorities

My top priorities city-wide and particularly in my district are enhancing public services and public space. Going door-todoor, I’ve heard from people in Kingscourt that they need better sewage infrastructure to protect their homes. I’ve heard from people in Rideau Heights that they need better maintained public space and greater access to public transit. Well-designed public transit and trail systems that connect the entire city for commuting and recreational purposes is one of my main goals. Arts and Culture

I would support the work in the future by ensuring sustained funding for arts organizations (including the Tett Centre). One of the issues currently is that artists have difficulty working professionally in Kingston. They need public support as they enhance our community in immeasurably ways. Development and Services

Arts and Culture

These projects are important to the health of our society. A strong artistic community is vital to the cultural, social and economic pillars of sustainability and will encourage artists to make

Kingston their home. As a teacher, I support young artists and art programs. Funding must be reliable and recognized as an investment in the community By voting no in the casino referendum, I am choosing to have the entertainment dollar go to our artistic community instead of to a casino. Development and Services

It is vital that all citizens of Kingston feel that they are heard and are valued. Having a mix of communities makes Kingston strong but also makes providing the same services to every citizen expensive. Plans need to be created and communicated that address the needs of each community. More specialized services may be delivered such as closer venues for water testing.

Sustainable Future

Local industry, ideas and resources must be promoted. Electing a progressive City Council that promotes local industry, ideas and resources would be a first step. The information infrastructure must keep up with demand and allow businesses to invest here.

I recently retired after 34 years working as a senior planning analyst with Queen’s administration. I have always been actively involved in the Kingston community. In the last 5 years I’ve been promoting active transportation (AT) as a way of Kingstonians getting healthier while reducing environmental impacts and helping Kingston achieve its sustainability goals. I have the skills, time, energy and personality to contribute to a productive council and a smooth functioning Lakeside District.

Secondly, I would work to improve communication with all Kingstonians so that major decisions by City Council are fully transparent and all tradeoffs understood.

Arts and Culture

The Kingston Culture Plan was endorsed by the last council, however, the last instalment of promised funding was ‘suspended’. I would vote to restore this funding and commit to ongoing funding to restore stability in planning and operations. Kingston has always been able to organize successful cultural events. Development and Services

Each councillor has the responsibility to see that funding on infrastructure projects is equitably distributed. I would watch this carefully. I’m a middle child so I’ve always watched what my older brother and my younger sister got. Business locations are largely determined by market forces. Planning guidelines must be aligned to these market forces.

Sustainable Future

Transportation services to and from Kingston and within Kingston must be improved so that Kingston is seen to be open for business and working efficiently. We should also explore improving telecommunications services to all areas of the city.

I am passionate about volunteering raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities in support of those less fortunate.

Sustainability. That includes affordability: plans aren’t sustainable if they aren’t affordable. Working toward our goal of making Kingston the most sustainable city in Canada is important to me. We can be leaders in renewable energy, waste mgmnt, as well as active transportation ( walking, cycling and public transit). We’ve made progress already, and we can do more.

Arts and Culture

Absolutely. The arts and culture have an important role to play in keeping our community vibrant. I’m already planning my participation in the January 11 SJA

Statue Ceremony. The arts are one priority amongst many. Development and Services

Development and Services

Many districts within the urban core also feel unrepresented for some services - why aren’t there more outdoor rinks in parks large enough to support them, for example? There should be a much more thorough review of services and amenities on a par-address, perstreet and per-neighbourhood basis to help determine where things could be improved. This data (and all city data of the sort) should be open, public and free of charge.

Sustainable Future

Kingston is, in a lot of ways, the place where both history and innovation thrive. We should be working community partners and service providers - our nonprofits, our agencies and post-secondary institutions to help to ensure we are meeting our current demands and preparing for the future. Most of these groups were well represented at the ‘Seriously Smart’ forum I was a participant at in the spring, and some of these conversations are ongoing.

Arts and Culture

I plan to enthusiastically attend and promote whenever and wherever possible the Tett Centre and the Sir John A Celebrations. Arts and culture enrich our lives and make Kingston an attractive city to live and visit.

Development and Services

Pittsburgh and Countryside need to be brought into the fold both socio-economically and geographically. A bridge linking both parts of Kingston is the obvious and ultimate goal. We need services and infrastructure, like a community centre, retail outlets, sewer hook-ups and timely snow removal. We on the east side are not distant cousins of the city, but immediate family. Lets make Kingston fully inclusive.

Sustainable Future

Kingston should expand economically by focusing on a development niche that will last well into the future. Kingston could, for example, become a regional hub of biotechnology. We need to incorporate the bright minds and solid skill sets our post secondary institutions produce. Let’s transform our economy and our city into a place that will meet the challenges of a complex and environmentally fragile world.

I have strong troubleshooting skills as well as a great ability to see alternative solutions to common problems. When I take on a task, I am passionate, dedicated and persistent to see it through to the end.

Top Priorities

My “Big 3”: 1. Work to keep taxes at/or below the rate of inflation. 2. Work to continue forward progress on the Third Crossing by seeking provincial and federal funding, which will help to improve our city-wide transportation issues now and into the future, as well as provide a more effective Emergency Detour Route. 3.

These are issues around the Psychiatric Hospital grounds development, Portsmouth Olympic Harbour upgrades, landlord and tenant issues and I wish to continue to steward them through Council to the advantage of Portsmouth District and the wider city. Top Priorities

Top priorities include – widening the John Counter Boulevard to four lanes over the train tracks, continuing with parks and trails augmentation, working to increase waterfront access for all types of recreation, continuing the work to make the city attractive to value added businesses while keeping taxes close to inflation. As St. Lawrence College and Queen’s University continue to grow we must find ways to house the increasing number of students and people who work there.

viewed the Kingston Cultural Plan that was unanimously adopted by City Council in 2010. As a City Councillor I can support arts and culture by supporting the release of funding for timely implementation of the Kingston Cultural Plan. Development and Services

The first thing to do, as with any other issue, is to determine the degree and scope of the issue. This can be accomplished by examining existing data. If the data shows that certain areas of Kingston are underserved then it would be up to the Councillors of those districts to represent the interest of their constituents.

Sustainable Future

We need to keep in mind what makes Kingston the unique and rich community it is now and build on that. Our city is rich in culture and heritage, with three world class post secondary institutions and a community that is very invested in the future of Kingston. We need to develop a clear vision for our community. I don’t think that has really been done yet. The vision has to include performance indicators and measurable goals.

To attract more businesses and amenities, municipal government must prove WE are open for business. The process of renovation, zoning and obtaining a permit cannot be unreasonable. When an entrepreneur decides to invest in Kingston we must support them. Success breeds success. Sustainable Future

Kingston needs a long-term vision for improvement. We must have clearly defined policies and a timely way to gauge success. We need to know how we are performing in real time. We do not have a monopoly as a municipality; we are competing to attract and retain residents and businesses.

My top priorities are: representation for all constituents, changing the one garbage bag policy, better winter maintenance, improving talent retention, adding infrastructure for active transportation, being proactive on the West Campus bylaw issue and revamping the Town-Gown Strategic Plan as it comes up for review. Arts and Culture

As a theatre graduate, I have been grateful for

the amount of exposure to arts and culture which I have received in Kingston. I believe that we need to work to recognize the value of arts and culture in our community, as well as economy, and ensure that the events have consistent and sufficient funding. Development and Services

projects that have respected the Plan. The real key to maintaining services and keeping taxes lower is assessment growth. Williamsville has the greatest potential for such growth. Thanks to new Development Fees we have had an opportunity to revitalize our parks and recreational spaces. We’ve seen that in Victoria, Compton, and Memorial Parks in the past few years, with even more planned. I continue to be committed to improving and protecting our parkland. I support neighbourhood traffic calming. We need to design our roads for greater safety. We need more enforcement of traffic laws. Four years ago I promised to be responsive and accountable. I promised Williamsville Annual Town Hall Meetings. I’ve kept that pledge. After a career as a public educator, I am now retired, and can be your full time Councillor. I am committed to serving Williamsville and have no other outside business interests. I would be honoured to represent the Williamsville District again.

Ed Smith Background:

Grew up in Kingston, attended LCVI and Queen’s and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree with honours. I own and operate Windmills Restaurant & Catering in downtown Kingston. Served on City Council representing Williamsville for two terms from 2003 to 2010, now serve on the Board of Directors of Home Base Housing and Downtown Kingston BIA. I want to serve because I want to help build prosperity for all the residents of Kingston, by growing our economy, creating new jobs, growing our commercial and industrial tax base so we can keep residential taxes increases to a minimum.

I believe that it is important that all councillors educate themselves on the issues of the various districts. We should do our best to both represent the concerns of our own district, as well as work towards making Kingston as a whole, a better place to live.

The city can insure there is adequate zoned land for commercial use in all areas of the city.

Sustainable Future:

Kingston must seek and grasp the opportunities that come its way; making it efficient for existing businesses and new businesses to expand and move here. We should seek to remove red tape, without eliminating protection for neighbourhoods. If Kingston is to attract business & job growth, increase its commercial tax base, Kingston must stay competitive with other communities in Ontario and beyond. If Kingston is not growing, and growing responsibly and sustainably, then it will become a shrinking city and that surely is the sign of a dying city.

We asked each candidate for mayor and district councillor in Kingston these five questions: 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your background? Why do you want to run for council? 2. What are your top priorities for the city and/or your specific district should you be elected? 3. Some exciting things are on the horizon for Kingston in terms of arts and culture , such as the Tett Centre and the Sir John A Macdonald Bicentennial. How will you spport projects like these, and arts and culture in general?

Mayor of Kingston Brenda Slomka Background

I love this country, our city, the outdoors, my bike, good literature, idea generation and strategic plans. As a Student Affairs professional and engaged citizen, I have budgeted, built teams and bolstered quality of life for many years. I have served on numerous committees (Building and Properties, Town and Gown, Municipal Accessibility Committee, to name three). I am a Kingston Youth Shelter Director and a Co-Chair of an arm of the United Way/City’s Poverty Reduction Initiative. I manage Residence Life at St. Lawrence College. I am completing my second Master’s degree. I want to use my leadership and community experiences to inspire Kingston to move from being a good city to being a great city; to stabilize taxes and spur job creation.

Top Priorities

I would champion collective well-being – from fixing potholes, removing snow, protecting park space and making decisions with the future in mind (for our aging society and our infrastructure needs) – using sensible and sophisticated evidenced based policy (like Vital Signs) to truly be Canada’s most sustainable city. My website (www.brendaslmoka.ca) has multiple policies and press releases that give details about my proposed Waterfront Innovation District, and more.

Arts and Culture

I would re-establish the funding levels agreed upon (and then slowed down by the last Council) to implement the City’s Cultural Plan I would support artists getting their work to market. And I would look to engage private, public and nonprofit groups to identify space for community art projects.

Development and Services

Implement a Neighbourhood Development Strategy where residents describe their ideal neighbourhood, asses what is “missing” and prioritize the three services or spaces Council could realize. My goal is to have safe and accessible spaces where people can walk, wheel and bike to work, school and shops.

Sustainable Future

I first came to Kingston as a Queen’s graduate student back in 2000. Although I had originally planned to be in Kingston for just one year, I quickly fell in love with the city and soon made it my permanent home. Having lived downtown for several years, I now reside in the west end of the city with my wife Shyla and our two boys Judah and Micah. I have a PhD in Economics from Queen’s University and I’ve been the city councilor for Trillium District over the past four years.

Top Priorities

I’m running for mayor because I believe that I have the vision, the background, the experience and the leadership skills for the job. My vision is to move Kingston forward together, and it’s based on three priorities: seize our economic opportunities, revitalize our neighbourhoods and the waterfront and live within our means. With my training as an economist, I bring to the table the necessary skills to grow our

Top Priorities

My top priorities are to keep the lid on taxes by prioritizing frontline services, build our economy providing good jobs and to build the needed infrastructure such as an airport runway expansion, and water and waste water plant expansions and a third crossing setting the stage for our future generations.

local economy. By focusing on key industries where Kingston has a competitive advantage, we can become a global player, attracting new businesses and setting a new standard for entrepreneurship and innovation in province and beyond. Development and Services

When our economy grows, jobs are created, new opportunities open up for your young people, and our city’s tax base expands, which brings in new revenues which we can then use to further enhance our quality of life while at the same time keeping future property tax increases capped to the rate of inflation. These new revenues can then be used to advance key community initiatives like the Kingston Culture Plan, which I strongly support. We can also afford to build everything from a new community centre in the east end to a Third Crossing, to an expansion of the airport. And these sort of investments in our infrastructure help to pull the diverse parts of our city together and create a renewed sense of unity in focus and vision as a city.

Every part of our city is unique and as Mayor I will endeavor to make our community one that is inclusive and builds connections between people, neighbourhoods, and organizations whether public, non-profit or private. It is about collaboration and capturing a positive community plan that supports a quality of life for current and future citizens.

Sustainable Future

We have to embrace technology and make it work for us. Leverage our strengths to create a made in Kingston solution to build our economy, create good jobs and keep the lid on taxes which are my goals as your full time Mayor.

Promotion of local agriculture / A north end library / Tourism / Promote our cycling trails, waterfront properties, and greenspaces/ For more see my pages online !

Arts and Culture

We have such a thriving artistic scene here in Kingston, and I feel that the city could be doing a lot more to promote it. Perhaps we could consult with local artists about how to advocate more effectively for the arts, and make space available for hosting live performances and art shows in and around city owned venues at low or no cost.

Promotion of local agriculture in the form of ‘Farm Days’, which would be a series of seasonal, city-endorsed days or weeks promoting our local farms. If a farm chose to participate, it could open its doors to the public, run small workshops, welcome teachers and their classes for educational field trips about the importance of local food producers and the benefits of buying local, and so on.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION GUIDE Loyalist Township

We asked each candidate for mayor and ward councillor these five questions: 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your background? Why do you want to be mayor? 2. What are your top priorities for the township should you be elected? 3. What are some specific things you feel can be done in order to encourage business development in the township? 4. The population is increasing at a rapid rate, with both young families and seniors choosing to make Loyalist Town-

ship their home. What do you feel needs to be done in order to better serve this growing population? 5. In our fast-paced, constantly changing and increasingly global society, the future is full of great excitement, but also many challenges. How can Loyalist Township best meet the demands of the future in a responsible, sustainable way?

Ward 2 Ed Daniliunas Background

I am running for re-election to a second term as Councillor for Ward 2 representing Bath on the Loyalist Township Council. My first term has been productive, educational and rewarding and I feel I can continue to add value working for the residents of Bath and of Loyalist Township.

Top Priorities

Retired from a career in engineering and business management I have been a resident of Bath for eighteen years. Harmonization of water and sewer rates in my first term has been a significant achievement resulting in savings to Bath residents. Prior to my first term I led the economic development and grass roots fund raising teams for the Bath Community Revitalization Committee founding the Bath Sunday Market which continues to this day.

Business Development

Economic development will continue to be a priority in order to broaden the tax base, while new budget expenditures need to be challenged to ensure a cost benefit exists and that value for money is in-

creased. Tax increment equivalent grants are potential tools for attracting new businesses and more emphasis needs to be placed on leveraging Township attractions and assets to increase tourism in Loyalist Township.

I was born, grew up and went to schools and raised my children in Loyalist Township. I has been in business for 22 years in Bath owner of Joys Hair and Wellness Co and Loyalist Pro Services to promote local businesses.I have sat on the Loyalist Rec Committee for the last 8 years, and followed the Loyalist Budget. I believe I could be a great asset to the Village of Bath to be their spokesperson and to link our communication with Loyalist Township Council and staff. Top Priorities

I’d like to establish a office in Bath where residents and businesses can go to express their concerns. I’d like to represent Baths interest at Council level and improve communications throughout the township. I want to protect Bath and Loyalist parkland, and help the environment through education while helping keep our history stay alive with our museum and historical homes in Bath. Business Development

Bath needs a bus service to help locals with transportation needs for the young and older that want to live in Bath. Lots of activity sports that we can play locally to keep fit and well. And we could use more senior classes in Bath and things for youth to do. Sustainable Future

I have enjoyed teaching wellness and health for the last 20 years. I taught the use of eco friendly products and the ridding of harmful chemicals for many years. I protect trees and nature in our beautiful parkland. I’ve won environmental awards for the work I’ve done to date. I’m happy to have started the Clean up Program for Bath in 2007 that continues to date. Our clean up program team won the Loyalist Township Enviro Challenge this year.

to provide our communities with the services and conveniences that are available in many neighbouring municipalities. Development and Services

Several municipalities have built splash pads in their parks, these have been highly successful and I think it’s time for Loyalist to get on board. I believe that Odessa could use a new Library it could be built to give space to community groups and organizations; this is something the Township would need to lobby the County on our behalf. Loyalist should investigate building walking / biking trails along Highway 33 from Amherstview to Bath.

Sustainable Future

Loyalist needs to be competitive I don’t believe increasing taxes above the rate of inflation is responsible or sustainable. Increasing taxes by 3.4% when development has provided the township with a significant increase in revenue may solve short term budget problems but hurts us over the long term.

Penny Porter Background

I have lived in Loyalist township for over 25 years, raised my children here, started a small business here and farm the land that we own here. I worked for the department of Veterans Affairs for over 25 years as a case manager/counselor. Upon taking an early retirement I started a small business in the construction industry. My roles as manager, business owner, mother, wife, and farmer have given me a variety of experience. My first term on council taught me a lot. I’ve enjoyed the experience and would like to continue contributing to my community. Council needs to be comprised of members from diverse backgrounds to best represent our community.

Top Priorities

My top priorities if re elected is to continue to find ways to be more efficient, provide the best possible services for the best possible price. Implementation of the Strategic Plan that was developed to ensure our priorities stay on course, and focusing on Economic Development in our municipality.

Business Development

Business Development in our community is

an ongoing process. Encouraging growth in this area by marketing Loyalist Township as a premier location for business is just the first step. Providing support, high service standards to enquiries and liaising with our county are a few of the things we can continue to do. The majority of economic growth comes from small business and their needs must be considered as well as the needs of the larger multinational companies. Development and Services

The increase in numbers of young families and seniors is a testament to the programs and services in place. We must continually update our services and programs to meet their needs. A few of the areas to continue to address is the transportation network, garbage bag tags, water and sewer rates and property taxes.

Sustainable Future

Meeting the demands of the future is best accomplished by careful strategic planning. Identification of the future needs of our community and ensuring that our future generations are not straddled with unreasonable debt is paramount to the success of the municipalities future.

Ward 3 Ron Gordon Background

I have lived in Loyalist for over 25 years and would like to put something back into our community. I have served as VP of minor hockey, worked for various charities, written for the Whig’s community editorial board, and lately served on the Police services board for the past 4 years and would like to do more.

Top Priorities

Top Priorities for me would be the following. Increase housing for seniors , beautification for our streets, and parks, set up a Local business association, create a festival, explore the option of another ward for rural areas, bring new industries to Loyalist, improve upon sports and recreation facilities and programs, and ensure the lines of communication are improved.

Business Development

I believe we need to revisit our current situation whereas the person in charge of helping to bring new business into Loyalist doesn’t reside here, and perhaps we can do more ourselves to accomplish that goal

Development and Services

We definitely need to find ways to increase housing suitable for seniors as we currently don’t have enough options for local residents, additionally we haven’t had a new apartment building built in over 20 years, so we need to look at the reasons for this and then try to encourage developers to look at us as a potential area for new development in both these areas. If there were more options for local seniors to move into, it would also allow more housing to become available for young families.

Sustainable Future

The only thing constant is change!. We have to look ahead as to where we can handle growth, and how we can bring new industries and businesses here that will help off set increasing tax rates, while helping the local economy by providing new jobs, and opportunities. New Business must be our priority moving forward, we can’t have 8 more years of a vacant industrial park for example. We can’t wait for someone else to do this we have to do it for ourselves.

My name is John Ibey and with my wife Pat and children, Bryce and Dawn, moved to Amherstview in 1967. Since that time I have been involved in the community playing and coaching ball and hockey. I am a member of the Amherstview Golf Club and past member of Camden Braes G & CC. I served as trustee on the L & A County Board of Education for 19 years (6 years chairman) and for the past 14 years have been a Councillor on Loyalist Township Council representing Ward 3. I want to continue to serve the community in the next term of council.

Top Priorities

My top priorities for the upcoming term are to maintain and improve on the existing services and to take advantage of opportunities to add to those services.

This past term, council has put an emphasis on economic development. In the township

Mayor of Loyalist Township Bill Lowry Background

I have lived in the community for half my life and decided long ago that this was my family’s area to call home. I have served two terms as a councilor, one term as Deputy Mayor and now one term as Mayor. I also served eight years in that time representing Loyalist at Lennox and Addington County Council. This decision to continue was based on the premise of having no doubt in my mind that I have the desire and compassion for this job.

Top Priorities

My priorities are economic development focused solely on retail and commercial growth, responsible sustainability for the services that we provide in our infrastructures and beautification of our municipality in marketing Loyalist in signage.

I was instrumental three years ago in developing an economic development task force composed of community entrepreneurs and business people along with mu-

Development and Services

A seniors’ living development with 70 duplex units and a central clubhouse is now under construction along, with 30 detached homes and retirement centre started last month.

Sustainable Future

As we set our goals, we have to be cognizant of how we are affecting our existing businesses and also supporting it along with any new retail development. For every $90,000 that we have to invest it is a 1% tax increase without a subsidy. That is the challenge to be fiscally responsible to our taxpayers. It’s about balance. Goals are a great target but without a strategy to create a solution they are just a dream.

We need to offer more amenities to both our growing demographics. More affordable senior housing, transportation e.g. Extended bus routes to Bath and Odessa, as well as more restaurants, shops and businesses for younger families. We are missing out on these opportunities right now and I would like to see more of this for the future of our residents. Sustainable Future

I think we need to start with simple things and build upon those. I think a green-bin program in our urban centres, Amherstview, Odessa and Bath would be a great start to that. We can also look at how to use our solar and wind farms to more of a benefit to the township, we don’t have any say in whether or not they can be built, so instead of fighting it, we should look at better ways to leverage them in our benefit.

Frontenac Islands We asked each candidate for mayor and councillor on Frontenac Islands these four questions: 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your background? Which position are you running for and why? 2. What are your top priorities for the township should you be elected? 3. What are some of the biggest challenges you feel Frontenac Islands are facing and how can they be overcome?

4. In our fast-paced, constantly changing and increasingly global society, the future is full of great excitement, but also many challenges. How can Loyalist Township best meet the demands of the future in a responsible, sustainable way?

Howe Island Natalie Nossal

Wolfe Island Barbara Springgay

Background

Like many Howe Island residents who have settled in the community later in life, I have grown to treasure not only the quality of life that our community provides, but also the diverse community of people who live on Howe Island. Having served as Councillor for Howe Island District of the Township of Frontenac Islands for the past 10 months, and have come to appreciate how important municipal government is in directly shaping our everyday lives. I believe that all members of the community should have a voice in the municipal decisions that affect their lives, and I hope to be able to provide that voice.

Top Priorities

The top priorities for the Township of Frontenac Islands include ferry transportation (both the Township and County ferries), road construction and maintenance, speed limits, waste management, social sustainability, and bylaw development and enforcement. In addition, as a member of the County of Frontenac, the Township needs to ensure that it receives maximum

benefit from our County tax dollars. Biggest challenges

Background:

Twelve years ago I became a permanent resident of Wolfe Island following my retirement as Vice President of Pharma Plus Drugmarts where I oversaw the operation of over 1400 stores. I negotiated with municipal, provincial and federal governments on policies and procedures. My son, Christopher, resides and owns a home in Kingston. In order to continue with the progress we have made and to complete projects underway I have decided to run for a second term.

The biggest challenge will be to devise solutions to the priority issues mentioned above, and there are no ‘black and white’ answers to any of these concerns. The Township of Frontenac Islands can face these challenges by exercising sound judgement in the evaluation and resolution of these issues – by gathering information from experts and the community, discussing and evaluating all options, making decisions that are in the best interests of the entire community, and working to resolve these issues in a climate of accountability and Top Priorities transparency.

Randy Pilszak Background

Tell us a little bit about yourself. Which position are you running for and why? I have been a resident of Howe Island for 24 years and previous to that my family has owned a cottage since 1960. I enjoy the peaceful island setting. I am running for a seat on Council because I see safety and money management issues with transportation regarding the ferries and roads on Howe Island. This has been going on for far too many years and requires a strong voice on council to rectify.

Top Priorities

What are your top priorities for the township should you be elected? My top priorities are: To improve efficiency and safety with the ferry systems and to work to acquire a new township operated ferry. I would also work to see the hiring of a full time staff member for the roads department. To ensure that our fire department receives full sup-

port from council especially in terms of required equipment and training. Biggest Challenges

What are the biggest challenges you feel Frontenac Islands are facing and how can they be overcome? I feel that our government must be more proactive in safety and cost management and overall operations. As former roads superintendant/ferry operations of Howe Island I have experience in this area.

Future

In our fast-paced, constantly changing and increasingly global society, the future is full of great excitement, but also many challenges. How can Frontenac Islands best meet the demands of the future in a responsible, sustainable way? Frontenac Islands must get spending under control and find ways to get better services for their dollars. Safety, crime prevention and by-law enforcement, recycling and environmental concerns are important areas to the Frontenac Islands.

business plan is required so that taxpayers are aware of the benefits, revenues and expenses moving forward. A study is underway to bring Senior Housing to those who reside on Wolfe and Simcoe Islands. I support a five-unit apartment building, located close to the village and tastefully constructed. Challenges:

The biggest challenge facing Frontenac Islands is transportation specific to the ferry service M.T.O. provides to our community. Wait times to and from work are far too long. To overcome this a second ferry must be available from May to the end of September. Long term a larger ferry with capacity to board more vehicles and passengers is needed. Future:

In order to meet the demands of the future in a responsible and sustainable way especially in a smaller community Council must see that tax revenues are allocated to the appropriate reserve funds and pressure must continue to be placed on provincial and federal governments for more funding for rural communities.

Jardra Zborovsky Background:

I’m a Wolfe Island resident for 24 years, father of three children, owner and operator of PC+NET Computer Services. I have decided to run for the office because I believe I can bring Frontenac Islands Municipality to the 21st century. Properly share news and information with public by using up to date information technology. I’m running because I know “new blood” is needed on the Wolfe Island council. Top Priorities:

My priority #1 is communication with public. We must make sure that Wolfe Island, Howe Island, Simcoe Island and adjacent islands residents and seasonal residents know what is happening on the council. Transparency is the key! Lets keep this key in our hands.

Biggest Challenge:

The biggest challenge? The biggest challenge could be someone’s clothesline as well as municipal roads improvement. In the Township of Frontenac Islands there are many challenges, from troubled ferry services, senior housing and waste management issues to the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse matter. All those issues need to be addressed in future months and years. I’ll work hard with the team of Councillors to get to the bottom of all concerns our township is facing. Future:

The only way to meet demands of the future is to be on par with current information technology while keeping our heritage and environment intact. Plan ahead and share and compare all available information and data.

Background

I’m a 55 yrs. old, recently retired self-employed business person, who moved to Wolfe Island 10 years ago with my two young children, as I knew it would be an idyllic place to raise them. I am NOT a Politician. I view this as a major benefit. I am a lifelong Founder, CEO, and President of a varied list of successful companies. I have always been results oriented. Where others see problems, I see opportunities and solutions. Too often, Politicians request never-ending stud-

ies and reports that talk about future solutions that never materialize. Let’s deal with the reality of here and now. I’m running for Mayor as I feel I am best able to correct the recent decline in services and challenges in our future. A common sense business approach to local government is needed. Top Priorities

When you live on an Island and the Wards are separate Islands, the two top issues are Ferry Service and Ferry Service.

Biggest challenges

I will work with MTO and the County to fully restore the Bubbler system on Howe Island as well as develop a plan to install Ice mitigation solutions for the Howe Island foot Ferry and Simcoe Island. Reduce the problems caused by changes to the Wolfe Island Hazardous Goods trips by coordinating with MTO and Fuel Suppliers. All Islanders need to be fully apprised of the Municipal Asset Management Plan and a realistic workable solution implemented.

Future

This question goes to the root of why people move to an Island. Our Islands are a welcome escape. The best way we can survive the future is to remain an oasis of tranquility and sanity. Wolfe Island must attract young working families to revitalize our aging community; otherwise we risk becoming a seasonal community of retirees. Improvements in transportation and affordable housing are paramount to this goal.

Council could defer property taxes for seniors who are on fixed or low incomes to help them stay in their homes longer. We could work with the Province to increase the level of community care. We need to work toward increasing the availability of seniors’ accommodation.

Future

South Frontenac must work towards bringing in high speed internet and cell service to enable people to work from home or to start home based businesses. We need to find a way to keep our young people here and that means jobs. Green energy initiatives would be one important way to provide employment. Development must be approved in a way to ensure the continued success of close knit communities.

especially affordable broadband internet service, is critical to attracting new development. The township should encourage businesses to work closely with the Frontenac County Futures Development Corporation and Economic Development Manager. Seniors

In order to make South Frontenac a better place for seniors, Schjerning says the first step is to ensure that all of the services currently available are being fully accessed. 211 Ontario is underutilized and the use of this service, that helps seniors access financial assistance and home support services, should be better promoted. Southern Frontenac Community Services is a local resource that can assist seniors staying at home longer.

Future

Looking to the future, he says that the Township Strategic Plan should be reviewed and that the renewal of infrastructure must continue. He feels that a sustainable Capital Asset Management Plan must be a priority and that the planning for maintenance and eventual replacement of our roads and buildings needs to start now.

Top Priorities

Sydenham water is a concern in the Village of Sydenham, not only the huge water system debt, but also the quality of the drinking water. Little Long Lake Road I would support an extension of winter plowing for the Eastern section to include the new homes, and request an earlier scheduling for winter plowing on the Western section. User fees for the use of District Halls by local residents for community purposes is another contentious issue. I support the recent petitions to Council by local residents for no fees.

To get the respect of the people of South Frontenac as I think there is a gap between the public and council that needs to be fixed. Address issues such as taxes, roads and equipment purchases.

Economic Development

Seniors

Many area seniors have told me that they would like to sell their family home and move to a rental property in the area .They want a place that is safe, senior friendly, has access to basic shopping and is affordable. Council can help drive the initiative for development of a residence for seniors by championing a progressive dialogue between Frontenac County, the South Eastern LHIN and our local council.

Future

Most residents of South Frontenac are intent on preserving a way of life that is slower paced, friendlier, cleaner and safer than other parts of the world. The air is fresh, the lakes and waterways are pristine and there is a harmony between rural and village residents here.

I’ve been a nosy person all my life. I’ve had two jobs. I was in the armed forces. I’m a veteran of Korea and a couple hundred paradrops. I went from there to the penitentiary system where I became a shop instructor. I’ve always loved people and things going on. I’ve been 14 years as a councillor out here and I’ve never missed a council meeting.

Top Priorities

To the good health and care of the township itself and its people.

Economic development

Harrowsmith when it lost the cheese factory lost 100 jobs. The city is growing. It

used to be a little more expensive out here but now you can drive 10 minutes and you’re right at Walmart. So we’ve got to keep trying and that’s all we can do. I’ll work at it really hard. Seniors

Advertising is the best and only way that I know of, and of course build senior complexes, which we’ll try for all the time.

Future

That’s a very good question. I think we should have to hire people that are in that business. Most of us councillors are everyday people and we’re willing to try anything to help this township and its people.

Portland Brad Barbeau Background

I am 32 years old and live with my wife and son in Harrowsmith. I graduated from Sydenham High School and attended Queen’s University and for the past eight years’ have worked at Queen’s in information technology. In my role at Queen’s, I have been involved in a number of large-scale projects that have involved the integration of many departments and resources. My decision to run for one of the Portland councilor positions is this: while South Frontenac is a great place to live, Portland District needs some strong voices advocating on our behalf to solve some issues (see below) that we are facing. I would bring a new perspective to council and would advocate on behalf of the entire township, but Portland District in particular.

Top priorities

Portland John McDougall Background

I am a passionate supporter of our smalltown and rural community life, including the preservation of its history. I am a retired school principal. Having been a Township and County of Frontenac councillor for the last 4 years has given me a knowledge of the issues that affect our community. I am running for re-election to complete the goals and meet the challenges that I have recognized over that time.

Priorities

With the support of my colleagues, I hope to provide accommodation and supports that will allow our seniors population to remain in their communities. Other prioritities for our Township include well maintained highways, responsible lakefront and village development and careful financial management in this challenging economic climate.

Development

Our Township’s provision of safe highways, accessible transportation, community improvement plans and attention to the needs of local

businesses will encourage small businesses to grow and hire locally and will attract young people to look forward to raising their families in our beautiful rural communities. Seniors

Our Township needs affordable seniors housing, particularly in the Portland district. We should also do our part to provide accessible transportation, encourage an active life style, support community involvement, as well as provide a walkable local business centre, close to health care .

Future

We need to always keep the basics of water management, transportation, solid waste management and sensible development at the forefront of our agenda. If these are well managed now and into the future, our challenges can be faced on a secure footing. We also need to keep relationships open with our County Council, the City of Kingston and our provincial and federal governments to advocate for their support.

My top priorities for the township are traffic and roads (particularly those in the Road 38 corridor and the infamous Harrowsmith intersection), holding taxes and spending, and responsible development.

Business Development

I strongly feel that business development needs to fit and make sense for a rural community. Property tax incentives are one possibility that could encourage businesses to locate in South Frontenac and our already competitive tax rates should be given a higher profile to encourage economic development in the area. Reduced development fees for businesses are also a simple way to encourage growth.

Seniors

We need more seniors housing, in particular a long-term care home in the township. Also, more seniors’ affordable housing is important. Both can and should be encouraged through the development incentives from above.

Future

The township must continue to be true to our roots and recognize that we must be careful with our spending in order to avoid tax increases that are not sustainable for our residents. Careful development can increase our tax base over time, providing increased revenue.

John McEwan Background

I attended LaSalle, Carleton and Queen’s, with studies in history, politics, law and physics. I own a construction firm that brings residential foundations up to Code. I wrote the CMHC book, and am an “expert witness”. My wife, Christiane and I bought an old farm house near Bellrock in 1991 and we have been happily “working on it” ever since. In violation of the Code, foundation walls routinely receive no protection from water penetration or a drainage system. To cover these mistakes, Council’s approve the “NO-DIG” scam which vents RADON directly into the living space; 2000 Canadians will die from radon induced lung cancers this year, and flooding remains the #1 residential insurance claim (go figure)

Frontenac, the council needs to improve roads and continue to lobby businesses and governments on the issue of improved internet and cellular telephone communication. But, also help foster the organizations that provide local services that help reduce the need for travel outside South Frontenac. Examples of these types of services are Southern & Northern Frontenac Community Services, Loughborough Housing Corporation and businesses such as garages, food stores, farm gate sales and tourist destinaTop Priorities tions.

Business Development

Specifically we should allow locals to bid on “local” projects such as grass cutting and maintenance of our cemeteries; residents could use the money and I think would take greater pride in their work (it’s where I got my start). I encourage people to come here with their dreams (as we did).

Seniors

My Great Aunt Mable Reid had wonderful private care from Mary Young of Perth Road; however, circumstances change and getting “home-care” proved quite challenging. Resources are required there, and would like to see about 100 Seniors units built nearer the water tower.

Future

I see South Frontenac as primarily a slowly evolving rural municipality dotted with fine vibrant villages. It is why we moved here, it is the reason people stay and return here. Residents are happy, why change that.

Ron Vandewal

Future

Sustainability in South Frontenac will increasingly rely on the Council’s willingness to work with community groups/businesses in identifying the hamlets that are best suited for development and improved servicing.

Background

I have lived and worked my entire life on Rutledge Rd in South Frontenac. I am a beef farmer. I have donated blood 140 times. I would like to be the next mayor because I have the knowledge, experience, time and the passion to help people.

Priorities

Business Development

I think it would be small business that could come to South Frontenac but we would have to make the process easier to get started, work with business right from the start and try to address concerns in first meeting so

both parties know what it would take to move forward. Seniors

With the County offer low cost funding for renovation’s to make it easier to stay in their homes. Work together to help and encourage organizations such as SF Community Living and the work they do. If at all possible work with developers to create affordable, assessable living in our community’s.

Future

Explore all opportunities. Look for all funding possible. Pursue upper level funding and grants. Living within our means. Working with all stake holders to make South Frontenac a great place to live, work and play. Together we can.

With my knowledge of the community I feel that I can be an asset to council in addressing local issues in the community. Top Priorities

My top priorities are that I would like to look over the budget and try to find cost saving measures to help ease the pressure on our taxes and use funds to help improve roads. I would like to make the area more attractive to families and businesses to try and increase growth in our township. I also would like to improve services for the seniors in our community. Business Development

I feel that we need to show new businesses the

potential that our community has to offer. We need to offer more programs and support to new businesses thinking about coming to our community.

Tom Dewey Editor’s note – The following is an edited version of what was submitted to the Gazette by Tom Dewey in lieu of answers to the questions provided. Tom Dewey is seeking a second term on Council. He lost a close race in 2006 and then won handily in 2010, receiving the most votes of any ward politician in Central Frontenac Township. Dewey was raised in Croydon, Lennox and Addington County, and lived for 40 years in Toronto and Oshawa. With his wife Shirley, he purchased a property on Horseshoe Lake near Arden in the 1980s. They renovated the cabin on the property and moved in permanently in 2005. Since moving to Arden, he has been a member of the township’s economic development committee; a former board member of the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation (FCFDC), and a member of the Heritage Festival Committee for eight years.

Tom sits on the board of EOTA (Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance) and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. He is on the executive of the Arden Legion and has been a Legion member for 32 years. Dewey thinks the priority for the new council will be to fill the chief administrative officer and public works manager positions, although he is reassured by the fact there is a temporary fix in place for them. He continues to be committed to working on economic development in the township, but recognizes that, “It is a really slow process. He believes the township can look at zoning to create more commercial zoning to be ready for investors to come in. He also thinks the township should look at purchasing property that is suitable for housing projects, but said all of this is coming in the context of increasing budget pressure. Priority issues for Tom Dewey include finding a permanent location for the Parham Library and seeing a fire hall built in Parham.

ment we are nickel and diming people who want to build here, or improve their existing properties. Seniors

We need to attract people with the professional skills to help seniors stay in their homes longer, We need better roads and snow clearing to give seniors the confidence that emergency vehicle can get to them quickly, should they be needed. We need a dialogue with the province to get long term care facilities off the municipal tax roles. We need to help develop assisted living facilities. We need to stop the constant tax hikes that are eating into fixed income pensions. Future

We need to remember that we are a rural municipality and that we can attract people interested in a rural life style and sustainability and small production agriculture. Maintaining small local schools, a good communication/ internet system and not burdening people with high taxes and fees and providing good recreational facilities in our communities are the keys bringing families here and to our future in Central Frontenac.

District 2 Jamie Riddell Background

I grew up in Sharbot Lake and settled in Mountain Grove with my wife Renee and our three children. I currently work as a federal corrections officer at Millhaven Penitentiary. I has been a volunteer firefighter for 27 Years. I have always had an interest in municipal politics and feel itís a great way to give back to our community.

Top Priorities

My priorities will be bringing back Accountability at all levels, Fighting back at provincial downloads (i.e Policing cost, Septic Inspections), Stronger Roads Management through proper planning and training and aggressive approach to Economic Development.

Business Development

Business development in the township has to be a combined effort. We need to work with our current businesses and community groups to help us better understand what they need to continue and ensure we

have the right tools in place for them to succeed. Giving tax breaks to new business at start up, assisting in promoting our area and working with community groups with activities that will bring events to the area. Seniors

Central Frontenac needs to explore options for senior housing and long-tern care. We need to work with the County to explore options to bring a Multi-use Senor residence to Central Frontenac. Seniors who have lived here all their life should have an option to stay here if they are not able to care for themselves or want the company with their everyday living.

Future

Central Frontenac needs to move with the times and not stay as is. We need to be aggressive, while exercising caution, with our Economic Development plans and private development. We need to grow where we can without jeopardizing our natural beauty. We need to do everything possible to protect our lakes because without our lakes we have nothing!

Justin Gray Background

I grew up in this Township. I am a member of the Central Frontenac Fire Department, Mountain Grove station. I am a member of the Olden Recreation committee. I am running because I feel things in the Township can be better managed and there is a lot of waste happening.

Top Priorities

My top priorities if elected are to look and the spending that goes on in the Township and how things are managed. Business Development

I believe in Township support and breaks for small businesses. Support could be tendering a local business or advertising on the Township website or holding

Seniors

The Township must plan a head for the future by getting ahead of it now. By this I mean don’t wait for something to happen to do something about it, plan for it. An example of this would be the pumper fire trucks. I believe they all need to be replaced by 2022 three of the four in the same year. Let’s not wait lets plan for it now. Council also needs to spend wisely to be ready for the future.

Having someone in the township office ready to field key questions about new businesses will give the sense that we are open to business possibilities. And, of course, improving the internet service. Businesses will avoid communities where internet service is substandard. Seniors

The developments related to Arden Court are encouraging. However, we still need a place where seniors can walk to the services that they need.

Future

The most important aspect of responding to the challenges of a global society is having a broad perspective. This is where my life experience would be relevant. I have lived a number of different places and have seen what problems are there and how they are solved. This would help in developing creative solutions to our problems.

Council needs to support services for seniors and encourage the youth to stay and work at these services or to start their own business that can serve seniors and the Township.

Top Priorities

In the short term, saving Piccadilly Hall and the fire substation, as well as seeing the full completion of a new Fire Hall in Parham without further delays. I also want us to spend smarter. Taxes have gone up 50% since 2006 people can’t afford much more of that.

A lot of revenue in this area is generated by tourism. Let’s promote this by stocking lakes, cleaning up boat launches and beaches to attract more tourist.

Seniors

It is important to address ways to allow seniors to remain in their own homes and retain their independence and contribution to society. However, for those who cannot, we must provide / subsidize alternate living arrangements (wellness programs maybe indicated).

Future

Listen and respond positively to the public’s concerns. As a team, form a strategic plan and work together towards our goals. This strategic plan should include ways to sustain both the environment and local businesses and economy.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION GUIDE Central Frontenac Township We asked each candidate for Mayor and Councillors these same five questions: 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your background? Why do you want to be mayor? 2. What are your top priorities for the township should you be elected? 3. What are some specific things you feel can be done in order to encourage business development in the township? 4. What are some things council can do to make Central Frontenac a better place for seniors?

District 4 Phillip Smith Background

I grow up and lived in the Parham area until 4 years ago when my wife Jaime and I purchased a small hobby farm in Piccadilly. I work for Pillar Financial Services as Manager of Mortgage Operations where I oversee the underwriting and administration of a portfolio of mortgages and work with a staff of 9. I’ve been involved with a number of community and township committees including theParham Fair and the Recreation Committee. I’m running because I enjoy working with the community and believe it is important to give back. I believe I bring valuable skills from my work and community experiences that will be an asset.

Top Priorities

A new fire hall for Parham should be built in 2015. The current hall has more than outlived its economic life. I want to ensure if or when the mandatory septic inspection program is implemented there is procedures in place to ensure people do not run into financial hardship if their septic has failed. The fate of the former Hinchinbrooke Public School is important to determine if it makes financial sense to purchase or not.

Business Development

Business development for our area should focus on small businesses with between 5 to 20 employees. These are the types of business that I believe will have the greatest impact to our local economy. We need to be more proactive in promoting the support of our local business. If we don’t support them, they won’t survive regardless the initiatives in place.

Background

Seniors

We need to continue to support and work with the agencies who provide services for seniors that allow them to live independently as long as possible, such as the Seniors Centre in Sharbot Lake, and Frontenac Transportation and those responsible for affordable housing.

Top Priorities

Future

Business Development

We need to work with our neighboring municipality and partners to investigate costs sharing and partnership that can help to save on tax dollars. We also need to leverage our taxes dollars were possible through grants to get the biggest return on our investments.

Sharon Shepherd Background

I’ve lived in Hinchinbrooke since 1983. Raised our family on Oak Flats Road. I have worked in the area for the past 25 +years, but am currently unemployed. This has given me the extra time to talk to the residents. My interest in running came from just that, interest. And the regular suggestion from the late Bill Snyder gave me that interest. I hear their voices of the people of Central Frontenac when they express concern in regards to different matters. Top Priorities

The Parham Fire Hall is still an existing concern. We need to stop talking about it and start taking action. Construction needs happen. The problem with being able to find a Public Works Manager for the long term has proven to be difficult. The gravel roads and secondary gravel roads are suffering in part because of this. The residents of Hinchinbrooke have seen a lack of road maintenance and no grader schedule. It seems to be complaint driven at best. Scheduling and regular maintenance are musts. Piccadilly Hall is the place to go for many community events. Why was it even put on the table for a pro-

Mayor Central Frontenac Janet Gutowski I was elected as mayor in 2006 and re-elected in 2010. Before that I served a term as councillor for District 4. I moved to Central Frontenac in 2002 after retiring from Bell Canada. I’ve been able to devote myself full time to role of mayor. I love the community and the people who live there. They deserve a leader who is willing to go to bat for them and will work to move the community forward. Roads are a top priority for rural residents. Finding the money to improve them is challenging. We are always chasing grants. Fortunately we’ve been fairly successful. We also need a new Fire Hall in District 4. We must make a decision on the site location so we can get construction started. To attract new businesses the township has to put it’s best foot forward. Perceptions can become reality. If a community looks tired and neglected it’s hard to bring in new business. I’m grateful to the community groups who have undertaken a number of beautifica-

tion projects. We need signage along Hwy 7. Completing the K&P Trail will be beneficial as well. Seniors

There is lack of housing options for seniors across the county. We need to encourage a wider variety of housing so seniors will have the option of moving to an apartment, shared accommodation, or a smaller home and still stay in the community of their choice. I will also be looking to the county to expand Community Paramedicine. Future

Leaders must be current in order to engage and attract youth. Youth communicate through social media. Creative young entrepreneurs are our future. Many of them want to live where they can access natural areas. With high speed internet, we have access to the world. We need to act to retain more of our own youth and attract more young families to the community. The ability to engage and communicate with people is one the strengths I bring to role of mayor.

services we have. I believe the best encouragement for business development is reasonable taxes and a Municipality who is prepared to work with developers. As ideas or proposals are brought to the Township, we need to be open and collaborative and do whatever is possible to assist where we can. The public needs to be involved early in any big proposal and have the ability to comment prior to decisions being made. Seniors

I believe Central Frontenac is friendly to seniors. We have a great Family Health Team which provides a variety of medical needs to seniors. We have organized fitness programs that are accessible and well attended. We have community centers where seniors meet, have activities and share a meal on regular basis. Our seniors are active and very selfsufficient for the most part. By controlling tax increases seniors who are on fixed income can better maintain their way of life in this community.

Even though we told the government it was a growth area we were only allowed to build for the students in the two schools that would close. Of course it was full right away. Grade seven and eight students and staff from Ecole Sir John A MacDonald moved to Lasalle Secondary School. Lasalle is now an intermediate and secondary school. Funding for our Board is based on student enrollment . Grants and staffing are determined by enrollment. This is especially hard on small schools such as Marysville , Wolfe Island where we have two teachers, two classes K-3 and 4-8. The District Wide French Review which parents have been waiting for will continue over the next several months with a report and recommendations presented to Trustees in early 2015.

Why running

I have been a resident IN my area for 26 years! Through all of the volunteering I’ve done I got to know many other Parents, School Councils, School staff and Board staff as well as gaining more insight and understanding of how things work with our Public School Board. I would be honoured to represent my area and I am proud to say I’ve been endorsed by Alicia Gordon of Gordon’s Estate Services & Allison Shannon of SunHarvest in Glenburnie!

Biggest challenges

1. Increase Parent Involvement by getting to know the schools & all stakeholders in my district. 2. EQAO Results, I’d like to know more about why we aren’t as strong in Math. 3. The new collective bargaining process that involves School Boards. I’d like to understand how that involves LDSB and how it will

The sentiment seems to be in favour of closure of the 2 schools and construction of a new one. If there is any debate pertaining to either facility please forward them to me, if elected I will make sure those are presented to the board if the topic comes up for further review as I want ALL parties view points to be heard.

Urban and rural

To represent my constituents and the whole board I will strive to be open and accessible with ALL stakeholders, I think its time for a change in this area and I hope you will vote for me to be that! Thank you, Pam Bidinost, for Trustee, LDSB, Countryside, Pittsburgh & Frontenac Islands

Kingscourt-Rideau and King’s Town Alec Ross Why are you running?

My primary motivation is to ensure that all children – but particularly kids with learning disabilities or those who struggle because of problems at home – get the education they need and deserve. I also wish to bring my considerable community knowledge to bear on the KCVI/QECVI issue, which will play out in my school district.

Biggest Challenges

The biggest “big-picture” challenge is declining enrolment, which is driving school closures in Kingston and across Ontario (see answer #3). Another big challenge is that some schools have many special-needs students and too few resources (teachers, facilities, etc.) to help them. Making things worse, the Limestone District School Board’s special-education budget has been dramatically reduced. As a trustee, I would deal with this issue by

lobbying the province for saner special-education funding. I would also try to strengthen the board’s relationships with agencies (e.g., Pathways to Education, Youth Unlimited) that work with vulnerable kids to make sure that no child falls through the cracks. Neighbourhood schools

Yes. When a school closes, a part of the community dies, and no school should be shuttered unless rock-solid evidence justifies it. That said, I also acknowledge that, in some instances, a new school can improve educational opportunities for students and bring new life to a community.

Urban and rural

By listening with an open mind to children, parents and teachers in the area in question, and carefully balancing their needs and wishes with the board’s financial realities.

Wayne Buller Background

I moved to Kingston 15 years ago with a young family. I became involved as a parent council member and later became chair of Bayridge PS, Module l’acadie and co-chair of the LDSB parent council. Now that my children have moved on to post secondary I feel that I now have time to give back to an area I am passionate about (public education). Biggest challenges

The challenges facing education today is funding and engagement. How to balance and place money strategically. I have skills to assist in this area through a mix of years working in the private engineering and public administration fields. I believe passionate engagement is important not only with the children but also the teachers, ad-

ministrators and parents. Neighbourhood schools

Maintaining community schools is very important to me. Unfortunately provincial formulas put smaller schools at a disadvantage and fail to consider community impacts. When a school has 6-8 portables and another school is half empty the balance needs to be considered.

As a former Trustee with the Limestone Board, representing Districts 2, 3 and 4 in Kingston’s west end, I will provide experienced and fiscally responsible representation. Through decades of public service and volunteering within schools, including terms as School Council Chair and Vice Chair, I have honed my skills and my ability to listen to and represent parents and constituents. I am compelled to make a difference in the lives of our children who, after all, are the leaders of tomorrow.

Biggest challenges

The biggest challenge facing education today lies with the governments funding model. We need to effectively lobby to improve the formula and eliminate the “one size fits all” approach. What works in large metropolitan areas like the GTHA, doesn’t work for a geographically diverse board like Limestone. Another challenge that needs to be ad-

My wife and I have lived in Kingston since 1998. We have two children who have graduated from LDSB. I am Executive Director of Kingston Youth unlimited and I work with at risk teens.

Biggest challenges

I have seen many teens get frustrated with our education system, especially those who struggle with academics. I am running to try and find alternative ways of helping these teens get an education without getting in the way of those whose goal is to gain a higher education.

Neighbourhood schools

I fear our education system has become more about money and buildings than what is best for our students. Two years after we arrived in Kingston, the school our children attended closed and we were required to send them to a different school outside our neighbourhood. This created many difficulties for our children. I would not like to see any one else happen to their children.

Urban and rural

If elected, I will work hard to be available to all parents and students in the LDSB area. I think it is never good to propose something for one area that will hurt another area.

Urban and rural

I grew up in rural Ontario riding a bus 45 minutes to and from school everyday. Both rural and urban schools offer unique opportunities both of which are valuable depending on which area you choose to raise your children. I do not feel they compete with one another but can be brought together to benefit each other.

Yes, maintaining neighbourhood schools is a priority to me. I successfully challenged the LDSB effort to close Collins Bay Public School, by identifying and developing a viable alternative to closure. Students deserve the best education possible, in an environment that is accessible, inclusive and provides opportunities for all.

With my experience as a Trustee, I have proven that I represent all. I will continue to visit schools and listen to the concerns from all school communities. After all, strong schools equal strong communities!

Portsmouth, Trillium and Meadowbrook - Strathcona David Jackson Background

For a number of years I have been actively engaged in community development and education in Kingston. Recently I have served as the Research Lead for the Social Planning Council of Kingston and District. Currently I am working on the development of the second edition of the Kingston Community Profile report: A social and demographic analysis of Kingston. The report will provide valuable information and insights to help support and sustain our schools. I am running for election to continue to advocate for public education in Kingston and area. Specifically I support increased parent involvement through our local school councils through active consultation and by revitalizing their role in supporting local schools and education programs. Biggest challenges

Declining school enrolment has led to financial pressures which could significantly reduce the quality and scope of our education programs. I would continue to work to get fair funding from the province to meet the local

education needs of our children. I would also pursue partnership opportunities to work more closely with our local municipalities and community not-for-profit organizations to help improve and sustain our community based schools. Neighbourhood schools

Maintaining and improving our existing neighbourhood schools has always been a key priority for me. I would closely consult with parents and other constituents to find alternative ways of sustaining our community schools before board budget decisions are made that could lead to cuts to schools, programs and education.

Urban and Rural

The LDSB has always actively worked to provide the best education opportunities for students regardless of their geographic location. As enrolment and budget pressures increase it will be increasingly important for us to collaborate with all our local communities across the board to find ways and means to sustain and enhance our schools.

I am the mother of 2 children and am a children’s orthopaedic surgeon. I have a degree in education and teach medical students. I’m running to bring a collaborative, communityfocused approach to a Board that appears to simply rubber stamp decisions shaped by the Provincial government.

Biggest challenges

The current educational funding formula needs a major overhaul. Boards must work together to actively encourage the government to do this. We’re spending an enormous amount of money on standardized testing as we simultaneously de-fund special education. These priorities are wrong. Infrastructure has been deliberately neglected. We need to set an example for our children by caring for our schools not disposing of them.

Neighbourhood schools

As I’ve been campaigning in South Frontenac, I have yet to arrive at the door of anyone

who agrees with school closures and increased school size. As Trustee I will oppose ALL school closures unless all other options have been exhausted. I will work to find efficiencies such as a detailed review of the current Board organizational structure and admin staff, a move of school board offices into existing surplus school space and the elimination of rented commercial space. Urban and rural

I have spent 20 years working with children and families from all across Eastern Ontario – understanding their context is key to success. As Trustee I will work to ensure that we truly examine the implications of decisions for ALL students. I believe in open communication, transparency, and participatory community consultation (not what we have seen in recent PARCs). I believe by bringing parents, community members, teachers, support staff to the table on a regular basis and genuinely valuing their input and insights we can solve problems in new and ground-breaking ways.

Technology provides a great learning tool, but it can also be a distraction. The message given to today’s children is one of self-importance and immediate gratification. Fostering in our children the attributes needed to develop caring, responsible and contributing members of society is another challenge. One step at a time. I cannot personally over-

Gavin Cosgrove Background

Born and raised in Kingston, I attended elementary school at Our Lady of Lourdes and Ecole Cathedral and graduated from Holy Cross before embarking on a career in law. Currently a trustee with the Board, I was appointed in February 2014 from a pool of eight applicants who applied to fill the vacancy left following the passing of long serving trustee Wilf Garrah. I am a product of the Board and want to continue to give back to a system that has provided me with a sound education founded in principles of faith. Biggest challenges

It is not realistic to assume that as a single trustee I can overcome the challenges facing publicly-funded education. However, as a member of the Board I believe I can contribute to effective decision-making. Keeping education relevant in a world of accelerating complexity is, I believe, the

I look forward to getting to know the system better. While I will respond to issues brought to me by ratepayers in the district which elected me, my focus will be primarily on the system’s needs - a perspective which I expect my trustee colleagues will share.

No one is in favor of closing their local school. Aging schools in need of repair and declining enrollment has made this a reality for many communities. The trustees are faced with the ultimate and sometimes unpopular decision to close schools. Listening to the voice of the public and balancing the interests of all the stakeholders is the only way to minimize the negative effects of school closures.

Urban and rural

We are a very large board, but as a group of trustees we listen, learn, discuss and appreciate the differences and challenges facing all of our jurisdiction. We make respectful and well informed decisions that will be of benefit to the whole board.

Background

While I have a degree in Education and have taught at the grade 7, 8, and 9 level, the bulk of my career has been spent as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. With my military career winding down, I was accepted into the Archdiocese of Kingston’s Deacon Formation Program. I completed the four years and was ordained as a deacon on the 9th of November 2013. Service as a trustee seemed a good fit based on my education, as well as my background and experience within the military where teamwork and leadership are the foundation of effectiveness. Finally, my diaconal formation and exposure within the Church provides access to a multitude of Catholic resources and expertise.

Biggest challenges, neighbourhood schools and urban/rural

Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” There is no shortage of opportunity within our publicly funded Catholic education system. The needs of students and teachers must continue to be the focus of resource decisions and the Catholicity of the institution must be preserved and protected. Within those parameters, maintaining neighbourhood schools and rural/urban diversity across the Board need to be taken into account to ensure fairness in the face of resource constraints and competing priorities such that we can continue to provide publicly funded Catholic education to guide our children on the way; a way made visible by the light of education and the light of Christ.

Background

I am a Kingstonian, born and raised in the City. I have been married to Deborah for 40 years and have three daughters Meghan, Lauren and Heather. I have been a Trustee for 5 terms. I am a member of the Board that recently approved the consolidation of some community schools as the result of our pupil accommodation review. Declining enrollment and aging school buildings brought us to a conclusion that a new modern school was necessary. I intend to hold administration and the Ministry to that promise of a new, exciting facility when re-elected.

Biggest challenges

The biggest challenges facing educators today relate to making a meaningful connection with our children in a way that holds their attention while delivering the fundamental building blocks to learning. I fear that tablets,tweets and messaging have reduced children’s attention spans. I familiarize myself with the current challenges believe we must provide the right learning our board has faced and will get out to the community within our region to listen to their concerns. I am curious to see what the barriers are of these challenges and would like to help create strategies on ways to improve them.

Patricia Page Background

I was born and raised here in Kingston, ON and was educated through the Separate School Board system proudly graduating from Regiopolis Notre Dame and St Lawrence College. I have a thirteen year old son presently in Grade 8 that has also been raised through the Separate School Board system. For the past 3 years I have chaired both the St Marguerite Bourgeoy’s Catholic School Council and also the Catholic School Council Association (CSCA) – East Region. I am passionate about our student’s achievements today and in the future. I believe student achievement not only includes teaching, training and research through our education modules but that more importantly creating socially, mentally and creative responsible students is essential.

Yes, neighbourhood schools are a priority for me.

This action was determined to be necessary. In the same accommodation review, one school community considered for closing will continue because it is full. Urban and rural

The ALCDSB has existed since the provincial amalgamation of municipalities. Our Board is made up of representatives from rural regions and all areas within our boundaries.

Background

I started out on a Parent Council at St. Patrick’s in Harrowsmith because I wanted to support my kids. I enjoy working with parents, teachers and administrators and we accomplished a great deal. Being on Parent Council has made me appreciate the struggles of other families and their kids.

Biggest challenges

The two big challenges are demographics and technology. Smaller families mean pressure to utilize our space better. That means working with community groups to promote use of our facilities during non-instruction hours. We also need to embrace new technology to a greater degree. This is a challenge in rural areas where internet access is limited and expensive for a lot of families. We need to make sure students’ internet time at school counts.

Neighbourhood schools

Absolutely. In my area we have two el-

ementary schools – St. James Major and St. Patrick’s. St. Mary’s in Chippewa was closed some time ago, and those students are now in Harrowsmith. Some of these students will go on to study in schools in Perth or Kingston. Many will switch to the public system and go to schools like Granite Ridge or Sydenham. Our Catholic schools north of Kingston are limited in number, but they represent the community no less than their public counterparts. Urban and rural

My daughter attends St. Patrick’s, which is a rural school, but my son attends Regi which is clearly urban based. As a parent, I have a personal interest in seeing quality education for urban and rural alike. The Board has an equal responsibility to both. My job is to see that responsibility translated into real action and effort.

South and Central Frontenac Wendy Procter Why running

For the past 28 years, I have owned my own bookkeeping business in Sharbot Lake and have been involved in the Catholic Church and community. Catholic education has always been an important part of my life, as a student, parent and trustee. As a parent of four children, I worked to establish a new rural Catholic school and participated in parent council. As a trustee for the past 15 years, I have worked to ensure all Catholic students have the opportunity to attend a quality Catholic school. I have served on various board committees supporting accessibility, aboriginal education, and ensuring financial transparency. Through continuous improvement of policies and providing feedback on the strate-

gic plan, I worked to preserve Catholic values and beliefs in our schools while maintaining a focus on student achievement. The connections between the home, school and parish are vital to our Catholic schools, and I will focus on improving communication and integration between them. Throughout my time on the board, I have had the opportunity to meet many students, parents and teachers, which allowed me to keep in touch with the needs of our local schools. I am always available to listen to the concerns of the Catholic school community and will continue to ensure they are addressed at the board level. I have seen great progress and successes; I plan to continue this momentum to advocate for quality education rooted in the Catholic faith.

Anti-student perception adds fuel to Kingston’s mayoral debate By Bill Hutchins Reporter

News – City council’s controversial decision last year to exclude post-secondary students from the revised district boundaries became a hot button issue at the latest meeting of Kingston’s mayoral candidates. Veteran councillor Rick Downes lashed out at two of his fellow opponents – Dorothy Hector and Bryan Paterson – for voting to keep students out of the district population count. Council’s original 7-6 decision was later overturned by the Ontario Municipal Board. “Why didn’t you support the students’ right to representation?” said Downes, immediately after Paterson had responded to a question about encouraging students to vote in the election. Downes also attacked Paterson and Hector for supporting the hiring of an Integrity Commissioner to investigate the conduct of Coun. Bill Glover, whom he described as the “real hero,” in the student district

population battle. He went on: “My voting record, my reputation is much better than the other two councillors running for mayor.” Downes’ comment drew applause in the packed gymnasium at Artillery Park Oct. 8, which attracted over 200 residents to hear the six candidates for mayor. Another resident asked Paterson and Hector to apologize for their handling of the student representation issue at council. Paterson, who first came to Kingston as a student at Queen’s, told the crowd that he supported a staff recommendation to exclude students from the district populations, just as “every other city” does. However, he says the notion that council is antistudent has become a matter of perception over reality. “Yes I apologize without reservations … for that perception. I did what I thought was right,” he told the audience to hisses and heckling from the floor. Hector also appeared contrite for her handling of the student district is-

sue, noting she had based her vote on the practice of the national Census, which usually does not count college and university students. “I apologize, too, because you’re left with the perception that I’m antistudent. And I’m far from that.” The six candidates running for mayor fielded over 20 questions on topics such as the need for a casino, third bridge crossing, prison farm fate, downtown revitalization and the Wellington Street extension - another big issue for the McBurney Park-area audience. Candidate Brenda Slomka opposes the need to build the road extension, noting she favours getting people out of cars and onto active transportation. “Listening to the public is a key piece of leadership.” Scott Foster says he favours more bicycle paths to bring people downtown, not another roadway. Downes likened the street extension issue to Toronto’s Spadina Expressway debate in the 1970s, and the government’s decision to stop it. “I am against the Wellington Street

extension. Period.” Paterson says the road extension may be needed to spur development of Brownfields along the Inner Harbour lands, but added “I’m not in favour of a busy expressway.” Most candidates supported the need for a $120 million third bridge crossing over the Cataraqui River, but agreed it likely won’t be built unless senior governments each agree to provide one-third funding. The mostly anti-casino crowd also gauged the candidates on whether they are for or against gambling in the city – the focus of a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ referendum in the Oct. 27 election. “It’s probably the number one issue next to the third crossing,” said Paterson of what he’s heard at doorsteps around the city. He says a casino brings too much baggage where the social and economic negatives would easily outweigh the positives. “I stand by my no vote.” “I’m opposed to it,” said Hector, adding she will abide by the referendum results no matter what the size

of the voter turnout. On a question about leadership and vision, Paterson says he wants to make Kingston a world leader in key sectors and unlock the city’s development potential while supporting the four pillars of sustainability: economic, social, environmental and cultural. Slomka says she wants to build a “cooperative, creative and compassionate” city. Michael Owen says he’s running to encourage people to vote, adding he has no defined platform, no office, and the only donations he’s asking for are ideas. Hector says her goals are to keep a lid on taxes, create youth jobs, expand the airport runway and devote herself to the mayor’s job full-time. Downes spoke about his many terms as councillors, his voting record and work on behalf of north end constituents, and his ethics. The wide-open race for Mayor of Kingston attracted six candidates following the pending resignation of incumbent mayor Mark Gerretsen.

Roads dominate the agenda at Kennebec Ward all-candidates debate By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — As might be expected, the biggest topics on the minds of voters at the Central Frontenac Kennebec District (1) debate last week in Arden were roads, roads and more roads. One constituent even asked if there was some way she and her neighbours could help fill potholes as volunteers. “It would be a nice thing but there would be a lot of compensation hazards,” said incumbent Coun. Jeff Matson, who along with fellow incumbent Tom Dewey is running against newcomer Cindy Kelsey and former councilor and mayoralty candidate Logan Murray. “Yes, there would be liabilities,” said incumbent mayoralty candidate Janet Gutowski. “But there are a lot of other places we can use volunteers.” “We have 600 kilometres of roads and spent $600,000 on Henderson Road,” said Dewey. “We have a capital assets plan and roads are a big part of it.” “We shouldn’t need to use volunteers,” said Murray. “We have an asset management plan but it’s a joke. “It’s just a statistics management project.” “I think it’s a sad state of affairs when we have people in the audi-

ence offering to fill potholes,” said mayoralty candidate and current deputy major Frances Smith. “We need a roads superintendent,” said Murray. “I’d like to see us do less and do a better job.” “We don’t seem to keep a CAO or public works manager,” said Smith. Gutowski said that sometimes roads are built for one purpose, say logging, and then get used many years later to access homes which can create situations where it takes a lot of fill and work to make them compatible with the new purpose. After the roads debate was grudgingly abandoned, the topics turned to things like economic development. “We do have a lot of businesses but they’re not the kind that are housed in big buildings where they can be assessed for taxes,” said Smith. “We need to have conversations with our businesses to see what they saw when they came here.” “There are a lot of people working from home,” Gutowski agreed. “But Sharbot Lake is a natural draw as it has some commerce already and good transportation. “We’re also seeing new businesses like Seed to Sausage and Subway and existing businesses selling rather than just shutting down, so that’s a good sign.” “Not in Arden though,” said Murray. “We can’t even seem to keep a

store open. “We need to bring people here with what we have, like for market gardening.” “Before we can bring in more business, we need to bring in more

people,” said Matson. “And we need to be friendlier to businesses that want to come, not like what happened with 1,000 Islands Concrete. “The people made them jump through hoops.”

“We’ve had bus tours for investment come through,” said Dewey, “so there is interest. “A new council has to earmark areas to look at changing the zoning.”

Monday Oct. 27, 2014

We asked each candidate for Limestone trustee these same four questions: 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why are you running for the position of trustee? 2. What are some of the biggest challenges facing education today and how would you propose to overcome them if elected? 3. Over the last several years we have seen many elementary schools, and some high schools, close. Is maintaining neighbourhood schools something that is a priority for you? 4. The Limestone District School Board covers a very large region and includes both rural and urban areas. How will you be able to make the best decisions for all children in the board, not just those in your own riding? 1. My name is Tom Mahoney and I am running for a Trustee position in the Limestone District School Board. I bring a diverse range of education and experience to this candidacy for School Board Trustee, and have resided in Kingston for 40 years. I am married with two children and five grandchildren, all of whom reside in Kingston. I am running because I view education as a critical pathway for the development of well-rounded citizens and a healthy society. 2.

The Board in the next four years will face ever-changing challenges : • Budget constraints • Declining enrollment • More school closures • Academic issues To manage these challenges, the Board has to change in the way that it operates. The Board must follow: • fundamental principles in their decision making. • Collaborative planning • Long-term data driven planning • Account for ALL costs • Co-location & shared use • Equity in School facilities

•

Preference for renovation first over closures

I believe our schools are vibrant hubs for their community. Before closing underused schools, the Board must look at options, such as partnering with local organizations to use space in a way that would benefit the entire community. We should consider making it feasible for students to share resources by locating facilities near to each other.

The Limestone Board covers a very large geographic area. The focus has to be on all schools and students within this jurisdiction. Rural students have to provided the same opportunities for programs that are concentrated currently in urban areas. As a board member, I will present all students and community interests. This can only be accomplished by challenging the current administration agenda to be more transparent and provide all stakeholders full participation in the process, not just a rubber stamp solution. Please vote for me on Oct 27 Thank you

We Need New Leadership That’s why I am running to be your Public School Board Trustee. There are ever-changing challenges that the School Board will face…

Budget • Declining Enrollment More School Closures • Academic These emerging issues demand that we approach these challenges with new eyes and ideas that will provide the best opportunities for our children.
