Kingston Transit is steering in a new direction with the planned purchase of two fully electric buses.

City councillors approved an application to spend $2.2 million to purchase the two 12-metrelong battery-powered buses, provided the provincial government chips in 75 per cent of the money, leaving taxpayers to cover the remaining $550,000.

“This is a great opportunity given funding support from the province,” said Coun. Jim Neill.

The city will seek funding through a recently launched Municipal GHG Challenge Fund, a grant program designed to support community-led action on climate change.

Councillors have been slowly converting the city’s fl eet of diesel- and gas-powered vehicles to electric-only, but most of the purchases are limited to smaller size cars.

Using batteries to fully power buses has always been considered an unreliable investment given the

heavy workload, long distances, uneven terrain and unpredictable weather that transit buses encounter on a daily basis.

It’s expected the two electric buses will collectively travel an average of 149,604 kilometres and operate 8,000 hours annually.

As a result, diesel fuel consumption will be reduced by 82,160 litres each year, said staff.

Coun. Rob Hutchison supported the electric bus funding application, even though he questioned whether the technology has improved.

Community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle says staff did a lot of research and concluded that “significant changes in technology” have made electric-powered buses more reliable. She says the purchase of two buses will be considered a pilot project before any further investments are made. “We’ll be tracking the performance on these two electric buses.”

In addition to producing zero tailpipe emissions, electric buses run much quieter and are believed to need less maintenance, staff explained.

Chief administrator Gerard Hunt assured councillors that adding two electric buses, replacing two 2008 diesel models, will not compromise transit service should they encounter problems. He also says powering larger vehicles on batteries is much more common than it was just a few years ago. “The technology is changing fairly rapidly in this area.”

There is no guarantee Kingston will qualify for a grant through the competitive applicationbased program, which will fund up to 100 per cent of the eligible costs for GHG (greenhouse gas) emission-reduction projects proposed by municipalities.

The cost of electric vehicles is generally more expensive than fossil fuel-powered vehicles.

In fact, it will cost $100,000 just to install an electric bus charging station.

Coun. Hutchison says it would be a giant leap toward greening the city’s fleet if the technology works. He added: “If we don’t do it, the (greenhouse gas emission) cost to the environment is huge.”

Adding just two electric buses will reduce GHG emissions by 210 tonnes per year.

Coun. Neill also sees electric vehicles as a long-term investment. “This is going to be the way of the future.”

The buses are among four green projects for which the city is seeking grant money. Others include funding for a geothermal heating and rooftop solar power system for a proposed new municipal fleet maintenance garage at 701 Division St., recouping costs for a series of recent lighting retrofit projects, and replacement of the boiler/heating system at Rideaucrest seniors home.

“The above projects as proposed are projected to reduce the corporation’s overall GHG output by approximately two per cent annually, moving the city closer to its reduction goal of eight per cent below 2011 levels by 2020,” according to a staff report.

The city is expecting to find out in February 2018 if any of the projects will receive provincial grants.

The planned electric bus pilot project comes just weeks after council decided to invest up to $800,000 to install two-dozen vehicle battery charging stations in public places around the city for privately-owned electric cars.

Students and teachers faced off for the 19th annual Frontenac Secondary School Monster Mash basketball game on Oct. 26, but this year, the fundraiser benefited a cause closer to home.

This past August, Frontenac SS office manager Leanne Smith and her family lost everything in a house fire on Sand Hill Road.

Students at the school learned about the fire when the school year began, and according to Monster Mash co-ordinator Mia Pincibero, it was the first thing they thought of when they Kristine Geary’s

were picking a cause to benefit from this year's event.

“When we sat down and thought about it, it was an immediate thing and everyone agreed,” she said. “Leanne is so important to the school and we all know her and interact with her and we wanted to help.”

Athletic director for the school Suchetan James also thought it was a great idea and approached Smith to make sure it was OK. “He told us they wanted to support us and I didn’t know what to say,” said Smith. “They always pick a local charity and this year they wanted to do it for us and I was incredibly grateful. The way the staff and students have come together for us is so overwhelming and

they really are like family.”

In an effort to ramp up fundraising this year, students solicited donations of bigger prizes and in the end they raffl ed off tickets to Kingston Frontenacs, Toronto Raptors, and Ottawa Senators games.

“We didn’t have a goal, we just wanted to raise as much as possible,” explained student organizer Liam Casey. “I feel like everyone cared a bit more because the cause was so close to home and we really pushed the fundraising more.”

Students also donated money in order to secure prime seats at the Monster Mash itself and cheer on their team.

Smith was also there cheering on the teams with her son, Josh, and she was emotional when she tried to express her gratitude for the support.

“It is so overwhelming and it has just been incredible,” she said as her son joined in.

The administrative policies committee acted on the advice and opted to hold bimonthly meetings. The arts, recreation and community policies (ARC) committee may do the same in 2018 with the option of the chair to hold more frequent meetings. Staff say the ARC committee doesn’t have enough to do to justify a monthly schedule based on its workload over the past two years, noting only 12 of 21 scheduled meetings were held because there was either no business or lack of quorum.

But, so far, EIT continues to schedule hit-and-miss monthly meetings.

Coun.

Peter Stroud, who chairs the EIT, also voiced frustration over the lack of municipal business. “I’ve been told by the clerk each time that there’s no business, no reports.�

Coun. Adam Candon, also an EIT member,

noted it’s somewhat puzzling the committee’s work has been sidelined for so long. “This needs to be brought up at the next meeting — if we have one,� he quipped.

While it’s not unusual for such meetings to be cancelled on occasion it’s rare for one of city hall’s key standing committees to go on hiatus for several consecutive months.

Hutchison believes the lull in workload will change as more staff reports are completed on matters such as the North King’s Town secondary plan

and the future of the Wellington Street extension. “We are sort of in-between on a lot of things.�

Given the recent nightly closure of the LaSalle Causeway, some residents have grumbled about not knowing the status of the city’s most expensive infrastructure project — the third bridge crossing. Many have asked the city to provide an update.

The project was bolstered by a $60 million provincial funding commitment just hours prior to a crucial council vote to proceed last spring. But council’s

It’s also based on KCVI’s famous graduates.

The long list of alumni includes infl uential Canadians such as former members of federal and provincial parliament, former Kingston mayors, as well as members of the Kingston rock band the Tragically Hip and soloist David Usher.

While there appears to be growing interest in protecting the landmark from any future reuses that could alter its appearance, the city itself has no interest in buying the school.

“Have we considered it? No, at this point we haven’t,” said Mayor Paterson.

He added: “At this point, we’re more interested in focusing on what the potential heritage valuable may be and facilitate some sort of reuse of the building or the property. I think that would be the priority for the city.”

A council decision to designate could come later this year, and the passage of a heritage bylaw would then trigger an appeal period.

“It is just crazy and overwhelming to say the least and to know that a community like Kingston can come together like this is really nice,” said Josh. “It is nice to know that three months later people are still looking out for us and that is what we are really grateful for.”

The family has been working with insurance to move on and they are currently renting a house, but the process has been slow and Smith expects it to continue that way.

“It is coming along, but every little bit helps and that is why this is so amazing.”

In the end, students at the school raised $300 for Smith and her family — and won the game 21 -20 — and Casey was looking forward to presenting the funds to Smith.

“In the past we would just donate to a charity, but this year it feels different because it is someone we know and we will see the impact it makes on her and her family,” he said. “It has been a really great experience.”

But for a lot of people — my family included — it is still not realistic to give up dependence on a car. For example, I love my bike, but I can’t use it to take my five year old to gymnastics on the other side of the city, or my baby to daycare in midtown.

Steve and I both could technically take Kingston Transit to work, but it would take well over an hour each way, not including dropping off the baby at daycare by bus, which would be its own adventure and likely add close to an additional hour.

The most realistic way for our family to further reduce our greenhouse gas output by a significant amount is to purchase an electric vehicle, and we, along with many others, are extremely enthusiastic about this prospect.

We’ll still use our current car until it dies, but knowing that the infrastructure will be there by the time we’re ready for our EV is an exciting and reassuring thought.

Get your flu shot!

It’s that time of year again — time for colder weather, cosy sweaters, scarves, warm soups and, inevitably, the flu. Most seasonal flu activity typically occurs between October and May each year with the heaviest activity taking place between December and February, so it is important to take precautions early and that means getting the flu shot.

The flu is ranked among the top 10 leading causes of death in Canada.

There are roughly 3,500 deaths and 12,000 hospitalizations from the flu every year in the country — almost twice as many deaths as motor vehicle accidents in Canada. This statistic is even crazier when you think about the fact that there is a shot to help prevent the flu.

The sooner that a person is immunized against influenza, the sooner they and vulnerable people around them are protected from this contagious and potentially dangerous illness. KFL&A Public Health recommends that all area residents, not just the young and the elderly, get immunized as soon as possible and even if you are completely healthy and rarely get sick, get the flu shot!

While many people fear getting sick from the flu vaccine itself, people cannot get influenza from the influenza vaccine. Most people have no reaction at all to the infl uenza vaccine, and almost all of those who do, have only minor side effects, such as a sore arm or mild fever. In the KFL&A area, there are many simple ways to get influenza immunization. It is available from family doctors, a local pharmacist or at a KFL&A Public Health clinic. The annual influenza immunization program kicks off this year with a walk-in clinic at Queen’s University on Friday Nov. 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Clinics by appointment will be held on Fridays at KFL&A Public Health’s main office on Portsmouth Avenue in Kingston.

The complete schedule of infl uenza immunization clinic dates and locations is available on KFL&A Public Health’s website, www.kflapublichealth.ca. To book an appointment for influenza immunization, visit www. kflapublichealth.ca/appointments or call 613-549-1232 or 1-800-267-7875.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Policing in 21st century Kingston

BY JEFF MCLAREN

Modern policing is so much more than rapidly responding to crime. I know in my personal experience, Kingston Police did much more than respond to a call for help. After one case of vandalism at my business, they counseled how to avoid it in the future. We took their suggestions and implemented a secure entrance and CCTV cameras. In another case, after the unexpected death of a tenant, they saved me personally from the trauma of seeing the body of a suicide. They are a great police force and do many additional tasks to serve and protect the public than just responding to crime.

In this context we have been forewarned of the need for ongoing massive budgetary increases as Kingston contin-

ues to grow and as new threats, like our current opioid epidemic, emerge. The standard approach to city growth and new threats has traditionally meant hiring more police officers and deploying them in conventional patrol, response, and investigation modes. This is likely the most expensive strategy and unfortunately one that is becoming marginally less and less effective on a cost-to-benefit comparison. The incremental increased benefit of hiring one more police officer is diminishing, making this strategy unsustainable. Our traditional labour intensive strategy to rely on sworn officers may be the most expensive and yield the least marginal utility.

This means that a new strategy needs to be the central core of policing in 21st century Kingston.

FROM LAS VEGAS TO KINGSTON - “OH WHAT A NIGHT!” IS BACK WITH SOME SPECIAL “HOLIDAY SPARKLE”!

In the 1960’s and 70’s the ANDY WILLIAMS television show was a staple in households around the world and his annual Christmas shows were some of the most anticipated specials ever made. His “Moon River” Theatre (named after his signature song) was the first non-country music theatre to be opened in Branson Mo., and allowed this iconic performer to remain in front of his loyal fans until shortly before his passing.

Returning to Canada by popular demand including a stop in Kingston comes one of the most sought after musical tribute shows available today… OH WHAT A NIGHT! – “The Christmas Show”.

In this special holiday performance the cast of “OH WHAT A NIGHT!” (the internationally renowned tribute to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons) celebrates the Christmas season with a brand new show that definitely creates “holiday sparkle”.

The cast will first warm you up with some of the most popular songs from their fast paced musical tribute to Frankie Valli and then transform you into a Christmas wonderland with a brand new tribute to “Mr. Christmas” himself – the great ANDY WILLIAMS & THE WILLIAMS BROTHERS. “OH WHAT A NIGHT!” itself is an in-depth musical revue, bringing to life thirty of the Four Seasons' hits.

It's a captivating tribute to the

T he talented cast of “OH WHAT A NIGHT!” easily recreates the legendary sound of “Andy Williams and the Williams Brothers” with such songs as “It’s The Holiday Season”, “Jingle Bells”, “The Christmas Song”, “White Christmas”, “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” (which songbook of this Rock and Roll Hall was written specifically for The Andy of Fame super group with note-per- Williams Show), and of course fect renditions of the iconic "Jersey “Moon River”. boys"! The show features 4 talented performers singing live that “feel “We’ve performed this holiday good” music you grew up with that version of the show as far away as made the name Frankie Valli known Dubai”, said one of the cast members around the globe. who has been with the show since the beginning… “But now having “Everybody loves these songs. The the opportunity to bring it to Canada melodies and harmonies are great to is fantastic. We’re glad to be coming sing and the songs are always a back to Kingston too – we love all special memory for somebody”, says the beautiful historic buildings producer George Solomon. there” he said.

The four performers in the show will be the first to tell you that they are not “imitators” of the artists they pay tribute to.

“We love the music, and we perform it as we feel it should be performed based on its original sound, but we do not attempt to mimic the original performers” say the cast members.

Staying true to the original recordings this tribute to Frankie Valli & Andy Williams honours the talents of two American legends. Don’t miss this incredible musical experience.

“OH WHAT A NIGHT! – The Christmas Show” will appear:

The team even had its own general manager, statistician, official scorer, travel secretary and beat reporter, all in the person of Bob Elliott Jr..

Like the pros, our Indians were all business between the white lines, playing as if their day jobs were at stake. Infield practice was so smoothly conducted, we imagined this was how the Cubs took infield at Wrigley, the Giants at Candlestick, the Cardinals at Crosley. When fi rst baseman Guy White stretched to take a throw on a close play, we figured that’s the way Boog Powell was doing it in Baltimore, Norm Cash in Detroit.

When middle infi elders Ron Earl and Bob Gilmour combined with Nick White on a double play, it was like listening to the Yankees radio broadcaster describe Kubek and Richardson turning two with Moose Skowron. On the other hand, when hard-hitting third baseman Don Goodridge fi elded a ground ball, then took a crow hop or three before throwing to first base too late or just in time to nip the runner, we knew that was NOT how Clete Boyer was doing it in New York or Dick Allen in Philadelphia. “When Goody took those crow hops, we wondered if he was ever going to throw the ball,” recalled Squirrel Earl.

For pure drama and excitement, you couldn’t beat the sight of big Charlie Pester swinging from the heels with two strikes, whether he missed entirely

or hammered a pitch off the fountain across Lower Union Street. The Goose’s strikeouts were often as riveting as his prodigious clouts. He was our Ruthianlike character: outspoken, fan friendly, talkative, brash, personable, sublimely skilled, confi dent and above all fiercely competitive. If Goose was pitching and Grandmother Pester was crowding the plate, he would not hit her, but five will get you 10 that Granny’d be on her fanny, dusting herself off.

Grizzled pitchers Keith Weese and Art Leeman, age 35 and 34, respectively, that summer, seemed like pensioners in our minds, yet they demonstrated time and again that there was so much more to their craft than the ability to throw hard and fast. We were lucky to have been tutored in the rudimentary elements of the art form by the father of neighborhood pals Ken and Ed Jarrell.

Having their pop, Arnie Jarrell, explain the science of pitching was like getting investment advice from Warren Buffet, a six-gun lesson from Wyatt Earp, stargazing with Gallileo. You were wise to clam up and pay attention, and in 1967 we witnessed, firsthand, as Arnie’s theories on pitching were put to the test and proven over and over. Weese, Leeman, and Pester showed us that deception, location and fl uctuating speed were as paramount to success as a blazing fastball, which happened to be the go-to pitch of Indians southpaw Doug McIlroy, our fellow Swamp Ward native.

Possibly Kingston's best-ever ballclub

To us, manager, Bob Elliott Sr., the beat reporter’s white-haired pop, seemed as serious, as wily, as unflappable and, yes, as ancient as old man Stengel himself. Elliott and Cliff Earl, Ron’s dad, had resurrected a senior city all-star team in the spring of ’67, then peopled it with players from the disbanded Kingston Baseball Association. Having these die-hard hardball men at the helm was like having Willie Shoemaker as a riding instructor, Einstein as a physics tutor, Ann Margaret as…well, as anything.

In defending any best-ever argument, statistics weigh heavy at the evidence table, and in this case exhibit A was the team’s record. The Indians posted a dazzling 22-5 regular-season won/loss record before flying through five playoff rounds winning 10 and losing just twice.

Exhibits B, C, D and E consisted of eye-popping pitching stats. Weese, off a farm in Centreville, carded an unblemished 8-0 mark to go with a 1.87 ERA. Leeman, from a large Glenburnie clan peppered with ballplayers, was 11-2 with a microscopic 1.24 ERA. Pester, arguably this city’s greatest all-around athlete and easily its most entertaining, sported a 2-0 record with an even 2.00 ERA, a shade higher than McIlroy’s stingy 1.62, and included a no-hitter, one of a record four the Goose recorded in Kingston flannels.

said. “There is some fictionalization to flush it out, but that is the story we know of her.”

Alias Grace was published in 1996, and St. Onge received an acknowledgement from the author for his work — something that still impresses him to this day.

“It was a nice surprise to be mentioned and she has kept in touch over the years, too,” he said. “I have helped a few books, but none with that type of notoriety.”

St. Onge was excited to revisit the project with the filming of the miniseries and he was impressed with how they worked to be historically accurate throughout.

He also points out that this isn’t the first time Kingston Penitentiary has been used in film shoots or as inspiration.

“The beginning of Reindeer Games used some exterior shots and there is a myth that Superman in 1978 was filmed here,” he explained. “It was actually filmed in a studio in England, but based on the building here. They did scout the location in 1977, but with the logistics and security concerns, they just couldn’t

use the actual location.”

He thinks that more film opportunities will arise in the future and he hopes that there will be an opportunity for them to go forward — and not just for prison projects.

“There is a lot of acreage inside the walls, and with the walls up, it is a closed set and the crew really enjoyed that,” he said. “The future is unclear for the Pen still, but we hope it can be used for more projects like this.”

In case you missed the showing of Alias Grace on CBC, it will be available on Netflix starting Nov. 3.

INSTALLS DESIGN & INSTALLATION

BEAUTIFUL& FUNCTIONAL We can design and install your dream kitchen or bathroom.

On offence, seven Kingston players hit .310 or higher that year, including a trio who produced at a clip of .400 or better. Pester, who like Leeman and Weese had played pro ball as a young man, topped the team with a .421 average. Teenage outfielder Clyde Harris, the aforementioned Camel, hit an even .400, kick-starting a long, memorable senior baseball career, in two cities, that would not wrap until age 45.

Prior to 1967, the last Kingston team to cop an OBA pennant was the ‘35 Ponies. Jim Arniel, was on that club, and 32 summers later, his son Doug, a.k.a. Slugger, won Game 1 of the bestof-three provincial final with a two-run, ninthinning home run that dented a roof in Orillia.

They, along with Bob Gilmour and sons Rob and Pat, remain the only father-son duos to capture Ontario senior A baseball crowns.

My favourite moment from that season was one I never saw or really fully appreciated until one day twentysome years later when, in the course of researching a story on Kingston’s 100th anniversary in baseball, I visited Artie Leeman at his Glenburnie home on Unity Road. Among other things that day, Art talked about the no-hitter that he twirled in the penultimate game of the ’67 playoff run, a 2-0 victory that came achingly close to being a perfect game. How close? One pitch, a full-count fastball with two out in the bottom of the ninth – Ball 4. Art described that missed strike call as if he’d thrown the pitch that very day instead

of decades earlier. The passion and competitive fire that fueled the cagey old righthander in his playing days were on full display in the Leeman living room that day, and I was left to wonder about the competitiveness and passion that consumed pitchers like Leeman in games where something was on the line.

Kingston’s best amateur ballclub? Clearly the Lakeview Indians possessed more than enough talent, garnered more than enough accolades, to be strongly considered in any local best-ever poll. They could hit, hit for power, pitch, catch and throw. Most importantly, they won. As a team.

They could also, on occasion, fracture an unwritten baseball rule. Like the time pitcher Elwood Johnston, then a city cop, spent part of a police shift helping to steal signs from an opposing team.

The story goes that Woody, who later served in the RCMP as well as with CSIS, our country’s intelligence-gathering unit, was observing his team’s game from a position well beyond centre field. In a nearby squad car sat the late city detective Bob ‘Duster’ Joyce, binoculars in hand, picking off the lone signal being put down by the catcher some 400 feet away. Duster relayed to Woody what pitch was coming and Woody signalled his teammate at bat. “Arm straight up for a fastball, nothing for off-speed,” the retired spy recalled, laughing.

“What a ballclub that was,” he added.

Indeed it was, Woody. Some might even suggest the city’s greatest ever.

Tea was served on Wolfe Island

More than 50 women from the Wolfe Island community recently attended an afternoon tea party held at the island’s St. Margaret’s Hall. All island women were invited. This 3rd annual Tea was hosted by the St. Margaret’s Guild of Triunity Anglican Church. And, of course, a most welcome Canon Chris Carr could not resist coming in for tea.

“It was an absolutely delightful afternoon. Most of our guests wore a hat - some even had gloves. And the hats ranged from clever homemade creations to

“The beautiful table settings were the creation of each hostess assigned a table. They each came with their own best china and linens. There were fancy sandwiches, cookies and warm scones with cream and jam,” she said. “It was lovely to see women from all segments of our island community coming together to share laughter, fun and a traditional afternoon tea,” Lilly concluded. Many beautiful flowers filled St. Margaret’s Hal on this occasion.

Next year’s tea will be hosted by Wolfe Island’s United Church Women.

Kingston rider becomes first Canadian winner of prestigious international competition

BY MANDY MARCINIAK

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

Selena O’Hanlon has been riding horses since she was seven years old and competing since she was nine. She has always had a passion for the sport and earlier this month, that passion and dedication paid off in a big way.

O’Hanlon won the Dutta Corp Fair Hill International CCI 3 competition, which took place Oct. 12 to 15 in Elkton,

Md., and she also became the first Canadian to win in the event’s 28-year history.

“I achieved my personal best in all three phases and that was a really big accomplishment on its own,” she said of the competition. “It was really the icing on the cake to win.”

O’Hanlon also took home the award for top international rider and top female rider at the show, which is considered one step below the Olympics in terms of competition level.

“I was feeling really confident and we

had really been building up to this competition, so it all felt really good,” she said. “I really hoped for a clear show jumping round at the end. Even though I had some time penalties, it was still a thrill and a personal best for the horse.”

O’Hanlon rode Foxwood High, or Woody as he is known in the barn, and owners John and Judy Rumble were also in attendance to cheer the team on and

celebrate. O’Hanlon was grateful for the support and the ability to share the victory with her whole team.

“We were able to celebrate in the winner’s circle together. They come to all the events and they support the sport so much — it was special to have them there,” she said.

It had been a hot summer.

Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox. Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the icehouse could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day.

But as summer turned into Fall, and the days got shorter, and even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen, and more ice brought into the icehouse. And so it was that Fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in.

The youngest of us were not allowed in the icehouse in the hot summer, just in case we let in the heat.

Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid.

The little black building was built on the north side of the barn to protect it as much as possible from the sun, and wagonload after wagonload of sawdust was dragged from the sawmill to cover the ice.

The big black tongs hung on a spike outside the building, and only Audrey or Father were the ones to bring a block into the icebox when needed. And now, Father said, it looked like we might run out of ice before the Bonnechere froze over.

Now, the block in the Barnett was allowed to melt until there was nothing to prove it had ever been there. My job was to empty the basin of water that piped down when the ice melted, and I was both glad and anxious when

LET’S GET TO WORK!

it now had to be done only every second day. Glad that I didn’t have to worry about the water filling the pan and spilling out on the floor through my neglect, but anxious, wondering where we would put our food when the icehouse was empty.

And the Fall dragged on.

The leaves had turned, fallen, were raked up, and burned. And each day was sunny and warm, but with frosty nights, telling us soon we would be blocked in with drifts of snow and impassable roads, but cutting ice in the river still a long way off.

Mother, I knew, was worried.

More than once she said to my sister Audrey, “Take the smallest blocks of ice first.”

And then suddenly the weather changed. We got up one morning to temperatures that had dropped

through the night, chilling the very rafters of the house. Father had stoked the Findlay Oval as always before going to bed, but by morning it had burned down, and we knew, as soon as our feet hit the floor, the nice Fall days were over. It would just be a matter of time before winter would close in around us. But February, which was usually the month Father took ice from the river, was still months away.

I worried every day that we would run out of ice, our food would spoil, and my entire family would either die of starvation or food poisoning. But Father didn’t seem to be that worried.

He, as always, had a solution... one that had been used on that farm for three generations.

Notice to Residents Leaf & Yard Waste Collection November 13, 2017 Residents may dispose of yard waste by leaving it at the roadside no later than 7:00 a.m. on Monday, November 13, 2017.

•

•

•

Yard waste is anything that typically grows in your yard.

Examples include grass clippings, leaves, flowers, hedge trimmings. It does not include food waste, pet feces, soil, rocks, or any non-organic debris.

My Take MARK HASKINS

Yard waste may ONLY be disposed of in paper bags. Plastic bags are not acceptable for this collection, regardless of whether they are marked “biodegradable” or “suitable for municipal yard waste”. Yard waste in plastic bags of any kind will be left at the curb.

MOVIE: Geostorm STARRING: Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Andy Garcia and Ed Harris DIRECTOR: Dean Devlin RATING: PG Geostorm is awful. I loved every minute of it.

Climate change has caused storm after storm to ravage the planet, and each one stronger than the last. Facing extinction, the world's governments are forced to work together. An international team led by Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) builds a network of satellites that can control the weather.

Jake names it Dutch Boy. While Jake is a brilliant engineer, he's not much of a politician. His outspoken nature forces his own brother

Brush is not included in this collection.

Leaf & yard waste are collected in Loyalist Township once each spring and fall. Both yard and brush waste can be dropped off at KARC, 196 Lappan’s Lane, Kingston (free of charge, open yearround).

Public Works Division, Department of Infrastructure Services If you are a person with a disability and need Loyalist Township information in another format, please contact 613-386-7351, ext.

100, or e-mail info@loyalist.ca.

Max (Jim Sturgess) to fire him. Max ends up over overseeing Dutch Boy, and Jake doesn't speak to him for three years.

Fast forward those three years. A town in Afghanistan, the buildings and the people, are frozen solid. It would seem Dutch Boy is malfunctioning, and the only person who can fix it is Jake. Reluctantly, Jake agrees to go, but it isn't long before he begins to suspect Dutch Boy isn't broken. It's been hacked.

On the ground, Max manages to come to the same conclusion. The two brothers have to put their differences aside and figure out what's going on.

If they don't, Dutch Boy could cause a geostorm that would sweep across the planet, killing millions.

Geostorm is undeniably a bad film.

The plot and the acting are over-thetop. It's far-fetched to the point of ridiculousness, and stretches suspension of disbelief well past the breaking point. It races to its climax and its conclusion, making it feel like it's over before it even got started. Yet I loved it. It was so much fun. I would watch this film again in a heartbeat — provided it was on TV, and not really costing me anything.

So what makes a bad film a good or,

more accurately, a fun film. It's usually a happy accident. In the case of Geostorm it goes over-the-top in almost every category, but still has some great lines and some good action. The story is far-fetched, but still interesting. No one in the cast is going to win any awards, but they don’t phone it in either. It flirts with being campy but doesn't quite cross that line. Strangely all these things come together to create a really fun and entertaining film.

It's mindless fun, but fun nonetheless.

It's actually an impressive cast. No one is stretching their skills, but I still like seeing Ed Harris and Andy Garcia. Jim Sturgess is a good counterpoint to Gerard Butler's brilliant but hotheaded genius. Butler plays the hotheaded genius with the best of them. My favourite by far though is Abbie Cornish. As Sarah she's Max's girlfriend, and on the president’s security detail. Without giving away some of the best parts of the film let's just say that's how you play a secret service agent.

Do not pay full price to see Geostorm, but definitely see Geostorm.

Factors to consider before renting out your home Renting out a home is a great way for homeowners to earn some extra income.

Some homeowners rent their homes in an attempt to wait out a sagging housing market, while others see renting their homes as a long-term commitment to their fi nancial futures.

Being a landlord has its advantages and disadvantages, and the decision to rent out a home is one that homeowners should not take lightly. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider as they try to decide if renting out their homes is the right move for them.

Time Being a landlord is a 24/7/365 commitment, as tenants will expect their landlords to be on call at all times. Tenants will call their landlords should plumbing fixtures suddenly burst in the middle of the night, and landlords must be available to answer such calls no matter how inconvenient they become. If you are not willing or able to devote the time necessary to tend to tenant needs, then being a landlord may not be for you.

Kingston Homefinder.ca - Wednesday, November 1, 2017

Maintenance Whereas homeowners may be able to delay making certain repairs in the homes where they lay their heads, such a luxury is not afforded when they are renting out their other properties. Repairs and maintenance of rental properties cannot be put on the back burner while you save money to fi x them. In addition, if even minor repairs typically pose a problem for you, you may soon discover that hiring a handyman or discounting rent for live-in supers is cutting into your profits or making it difficult to pay bills. Before deciding to rent out your home, determine the potential costs of maintaining a second property and use that

information to decide if renting the property is a sound fi nancial investment or one that might put you in the red.

Tenants Many people who have rented have a horror story or two about an absentee or indifferent landlord, but landlords also have their own such stories about nightmare tenants. When mulling whether or not to rent out your home, consider who your prospective tenants will be and if your community will supply the steady stream of renters you will need to pay your mortgage and bills without jeopardizing your finances. The last things fi rst-time or even experienced landlords want are tenants who cannot pay their rent and/or those who are disrespectful of their neighbors and their landlords, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to give ample consideration to your potential pool of renters before deciding to rent out your home.

Help Many landlords work with local real estate agencies or property management firms who will do much of the legwork with regard to fi nding tenants and maintaining properties. Research the cost of such help to determine if you can afford it and still make renting your home financially viable.

Attorney fees are another cost prospective landlords must consider. Landlordtenant laws can be difficult to decipher for fi rst-time landlords, so it helps to have an attorney who can help you decipher these laws and how they should govern your actions as a landlord. But attorneys are not inexpensive, and they must be worked into your budget as well.

Renting a home is a great way to earn extra income, but homeowners must consider a host of factors before putting their homes up for rent.
