Jr. Frontenacs players take on cancer one inch of hair at a time

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Sports – As hockey players, Grayson Ebrahim, Jacob McLellan, and Lane Morency have learned about dedication, perseverance and hard work, but they’ve also learned these skills through another activity – growing their hair. For almost two years, the three AAA rep hockey players have been growing their hair for cancer and on Jan. 29, they are cutting it all off at the Kingston Frontenacs’ game. “We started growing our hair because it was cool and for playoffs,” explained Jacob McLellan, 11, who plays center for the Jr. Fronts. “After that we just kept going and we decided to try and donate it for people who need it.” The boys didn’t think it would take so long to grow the required eight inches of hair for donation, but they kept going, even when they wanted to quit. “One day, about half way through, I came home and I was struggling to pull out knots and I got really frustrated and decided I didn’t really want to do it anymore,” explained Lane Morency. “ I told my parents and then they told me that my Nana was diagnosed with lung cancer that day. After that I decided to keep going

for her. I wanted to do something to help.” All of the boys have been touched by cancer in some way; both McLellan’s Grandpa and Poppa are battling the disease and Ebrahim’s aunt is fighting breast cancer. The boys hope that this campaign can help in some way. “It doesn’t take much effort to grow hair and I think this will help a lot of people with their fight against cancer,” said McLellan. “I hope it shows other people that there is something they can do to help too.” Although the boys have had to deal with knots in their hair after practice and a bit of name-calling and teasing, they’ve stuck with it and their teammates have supported them. “The response from the teammates has been good, we’ve been made fun of a bit, but they know what it is for and they are happy for us,” said McLellan. “They think it is kind of cool.” The hair-growing process has been enjoyable for the most part, but all of the boys are looking forward to cutting off their hair and going back to normal shampoo and conditioner use. “I’ll probably use way too much shampoo after the cut,”

KEDCO review panel to consider whether agency should even exist By Bill Hutchins

News – The committee that’s reviewing the mandate of Kingston’s economic development corporation (KEDCO) wants public ideas on how to reform the embattled agency. And it got an earful from a well-attended, sometimes feisty town hall meeting at the agency’s Innovation Park offices Jan. 20. “Is shutting down KEDCO an option on the table?” said one audience member. About 100 people showed up for the committee’s first round of public consultation to express their opinions, complaints and ideas. Most of the input focused on the agency’s governance structure and its need for more accountability and transparency to local taxpayers. “Talk about transparency. There is none. Talk about openness. There is none,” fumed resident Don Curtis at the town hall meeting. “What’s broken about KEDCO? That’s a pretty long list,” said long-time Kingston businessman Chander Datta, who owns Cancoil Thermal. He says reform needs to start with improving KEDCO’s governance structure and its accountability to taxpayers. “KEDCO

doesn’t really have any oversight, either from city council or from its board of directors.” Datta says it’s not the number of jobs the agency creates that matters, but new tax revenues generated from economic investment that are the true measure of KEDCO’s success. He even suggested that board members should be willing to resign if they don’t reach their own targets for job creation, fostering new business and promoting tourism. “Accountability cannot just be a word. It has to be accompanied by action.” He wasn’t alone in calling for independent oversight to improve KEDCO’s openness, especially when it comes to disclosing details of how its $3.1 million annual budget is spent, 86 percent of which comes from local taxpayers. “There is one big pool and no answers,” said one audience member of the agency’s lack of transparency. Bernie Robinson, a past chair of KEDCO’s board, talked about the agency’s need for focus, discipline and a willingness to allow public scrutiny of its successes and failures. He says the economic development office has fallen behind other cities when it comes to attracting high paying sustainable

jobs. “We’ve been in decline for so long that we’re in denial.” Robinson added: “The biggest private employer in this city is coffee shops.” KEDCO’s core mandate was a hot topic. Some called for tourism to be removed from the agency’s umbrella, while others said the entire economic development organization should be made into a city department, much like parks and public works. KEDCO currently operates as an arm’s length agency that’s governed by the Corporations Act, not the Municipal Act. Meeting facilitator Brock Dickinson said there are advantages and disadvantages to making KEDCO a municipal department that’s directly accountable to council. As an internal department, KEDCO may be slower to respond to job attraction efforts, while it tends to be “nimbler and faster” as a stand-alone agency, he explained. Hugh Mackenzie, a long time tour boat and trolley operator, defended the current funding and staffing model for promoting tourism. Tourism Kingston receives $1.4 million from the city each year, money that’s funnelled through KEDCO, for advertising and promotion to draw visitors to the city. “Kingston’s tourism mod-

el is the best that exists anywhere in the province,” he told the meeting. After 33 years in the business of exporting refrigeration and air conditioning systems, Chander Datta says he has resisted offers to relocate his Kingston business off-shore. But what really disappoints him is that his company has yet to receive a visit from KEDCO representatives. He claims the agency has “favourite employers” that it likes to promote, while others are largely ignored. “We have been here since 1983 employing in excess of 150 people and contributing $8 million in payroll to Kingston every year. KEDCO has not come to see us even once, not even as a matter of interest,” he later told reporters. Another audience member questioned the qualifications and objectivity of the 10-member committee that’s been appointed to review KEDCO’s mandate and make recommendations to council this summer. The group is comprised of citizen appointees, city councillors, KEDCO board members and staff. “There is no accountability. We’ve essentially assigned people who work for or are related to an organization to audit themselves. In the real world that doesn’t

work,” said businessman Vivek Datta. The comments prompted some members of the review panel, who sat at the front of the audience during the two and a half hour meeting, to address the criticism. “I feel like I have to defend myself,” said Bo Wandschneider of Queen’s, who serves on both the panel and KEDCO’s board of directors. Other members of the volunteer panel insisted they can produce unbiased recommendations, even if that means dissolving the corporation and starting over, as some residents have called for. “We will deal with them and that includes whether KEDCO should exist or not,” said committee co-chair and councillor Jeff McLaren. He also apologized on behalf of council for not asking a single question of Kingston First, a local group that began voicing concerns about KEDCO’s accountability last summer, when it recently appeared before council to call for action. In his closing remarks, Coun. McLaren promised the committee will consider all the public input it receives. “We are at your judgement. If it doesn’t suit the best interests of Kingston then we have failed.”

National brand grocery store first tenant confirmed for new east end shopping centre: Taggart By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

News - Those who attended the recent Kingston East Business Association (KEBA) meeting hoping to witness a grand reveal of what businesses will make up the new shopping centre going in off Highway 15 across from Rose Abbey Drive didn’t quite get all the information they were looking for from Taggart Realty Management representative Jeff Parkes, who gave a short presentation to the the crowd of several hundred that packed the auditorium of La Salle Secondary School Jan. 21. “I was asked to come tonight to discuss the project and most of all who’s coming - I know that that’s on the top of everybody’s mind,” Parkes admitted. “From our perspective, we have to ask our tenants what we’re allowed to tell people and unfortunately I’m not allowed to share with you who the anchor tenant is.” What he was allowed share: the

anchor tenant, which officially He anticipates to see businesses signed just the day before the meet- such as a bank, a pet store, a hairing (Jan. 20), is a national brand dresser and restaurants – “all the grocery store that already exists in normal services you see in a typical the community. “They’re excited and you’re going to find out very soon,” Parkes said. The grocery store will cover 30,000 square feet of the 70,000 square foot space, which Taggart is calling the Riverview Shopping Centre. Now that it’s confirmed, Parkes expects other retail stores Jeff Parkes from Taggart Realty addresses the crowd. to follow suit.

local councillor to make sure that some of the village-like, historic architectural themes are carried out through this development. This is not a massive project - this is liveable, walkable.” Others were concerned about the impact the centre will have on small businesses already in the area, and wanted to know if this was something Taggart will take into consideration as tenants are determined. Parkes said his company has a history of attracting small, locallyowned businesses to their centres, and that anyone interested should give them a call. “New construction is expensive so it isn’t going to be as inexpensive as lease rates you might find in an old building, but at the same time we are fair, we think.” He added that “if you have tenants you’d like to see here please forward them on to KEBA and we’ll do our best.” Zoning for the new centre has already been approved by the City of Kingston; the next step is to get the site plan approved, which Parkes described as a relatively simple process: “We’re happy to be at this spot right now.” Construction is expected to begin in approximately six months and to be completed in one phase by the summer of 2017. In related news, Pittsburgh councillor Ryan Boehme confirmed at the meeting that council approved zoning for a new All-Inclusive Retirement Living Shoppers Drug on the shore of Lake Ontario Mart in the east end, which will 343 Amherst Drive, Amherstview be built at the Call today for a FREE tour: corner of High613-384-4585 ext. 233 way 15 and GrenA family owned and operated business – Proudly Canadian adier Drive. www.gibsonfamilyhealthcare.com R0013621500

Beer Store] but I don’t have any confirmation that they’re coming,” Parkes said. A “national brand coffee shop or a strong regional, local brand” is another part of the plan, and Parkes added that they’ve also had “interest from a number of fast food restaurants.” Following the presentation, Parkes took questions from the audience, several of which dealt with if/how the new shopping centre will fit in with the historic character of the area and distinguish itself from the box stores clusters of the west end. “One of the things I’m proud to say is that our [developments] are not like everybody else’s,” Parkes said. “We’ll be working with the

Midtown’s Princess Street slated to get another multi-level apartment building reliance on automobile use for the residents of the site,” said Agnew’s report to the Jan. 21 planning committee. The initial recommendation presented to the committee in December was deferred to allow the public to review and comment on the proposed OMB settlement. Coun. Jim Neill voiced concerns that the number of apartment units and bedrooms has increased significantly since the original zon-

ing bylaw was approved in 2010. If the committee and council endorse the final site plan control application, it must still go to the OMB for final approval. The property owner would then be allowed to proceed with construction. The Princess Street housing project is the latest in a growing list of apartments either approved or constructed along Princess Street in the Williamsville area.

News – The latest midtown Kingston apartment building is inching closer to approval more than five years after the development plans were first unveiled. Developer Jay Patry has changed the scope of the proposed building at 630 Princess Street following an objection filed with the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). City planners are now recommending approval of the site plan application, paving the way for future development. The initial zoning request filed by Patry Developments Inc., approved by council in 2010, allowed for a maximum building height of six floors. But after a lengthy OMB appeal and negotiation process, the city and the developer have reached a compromise agreement. Among the proposed changes; -the building height is lowered from 6 to 5 storeys, -an increase in residential units from 21 to 31, -increase the number of bedrooms from 46

to 93, -each unit will have two to four bedrooms, but not five. “The main difference between what was approved and what is recommended for settlement is the number of units within the proposed structure,” according to a report by Paige Agnew, the city’s director of planning. The developer will also provide two main floor commercial units at the corner of Princess and Nelson Streets, site of a former gas station, and three off-site parking spaces for the commercial properties. The project includes 20 underground tenant parking spaces, about 30 bicycle spaces and rooftop amenities for the tenants, many expected to be students. City planners say providing 20 parking spots for 31 residential units should not pose a problem. “The proposed development is located on an express transit route and in close proximity to Queen’s main campus and the downtown. There are a number of amenities for the residents of the site within close proximity of the development that will assist in decreasing the

City, school board to co-finance community services & sports fields News – The City of Kingston and Limestone District School Board have formally agreed to a partnership to cofinance a number programs and services on the site of a new $36 million secondary school. The two elected bodies agreed to roughly split the cost of providing two soccer fields, public library services and a community meeting room in time for the new school’s projected 2018 opening date on the grounds of soon-to-be-demolished Queen Elizabeth Collegiate (QECVI). Councillors hailed the partnership as a win-win for the community and students. “Those are good things and allow us to get better value for taxpayer dollars whether it’s for education or for the municipality,� said Coun. Rob Hutchi-

“We’re going to get library services and shared use agreements out of the new school,� added Coun. Hutchison. Councillors voted unanimously at their Jan. 12 meeting to support the service funding partnership. Limestone trustees endorsed the same deal the following night. Coun. Jim Neill voiced concern over the pending gap in library services once the Kingscourt branch is closed and demolished, and a new branch is built in the Rideau Heights neighbourhood. However, community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle indicated the Kingscourt branch won’t be closing this summer as had earlier been predicted. “I think I have some good news for council,� she said, adding the library branch is now slated for demolition in the spring/summer of 2017. “We know there will be a break in

son. Under terms of the schoolyard trade, the city will invest $325,000 to build two mid-size soccer fields in Champlain Park, adjacent to the new school. The 40-by-60 metre pitches will be used primarily by students in the daytime and the community in the evening. “Typically our soccer fields don’t have much daytime use. But outside of those hours it’ll certainly be a regular soccer field available to our soccer associations and members of the public,� said Luke Follwell, the city’s direction of recreation and leisure services. In addition, the school board will spend about $321,000 to provide an 850 square foot community meeting room and a small public library kiosk within its new school. The city will pay an additional $95,000 to purchase a self-serve book vending machine.

High school student starts intergenerational choir bring joy to Kingston seniors with Alzheimer’s News – At the age of 16, Naomi Gazendam has already had a lot of experience with Alzheimer’s; her grandfather was diagnosed with the disease five years ago and after helping with his care she was inspired to help others too. For the past three years, Gazendam, a Grade 11 student at Holy Cross, has volunteered at Providence Manor and spent time with patients who have dementia and Alzheimer’s. She enjoys spending time with them and helping them, but she wanted to do more. “I saw a video of an intergenerational choir in London, Ontario that included dementia and Alzheimer’s patients,” she explained. “I’ve seen the effect music has on my own grandfather and I wanted to see if it could help others in Kingston too.” When the school year began in September, Gazendam started putting the choir together and quickly found both adult and student volunteers that were interested in participating. “Most of the students just love singing and love music and I think that really drew them in,” she said. “But some also have family members with dementia and I think that brought them in too.” She also contacted the Alzheimer Society of KFL&A to recruit interested and qualifying seniors and they were happy to come on board. “We had been talking about doing a music-based program for our clients for a while, so the timing was perfect,” said Caitlin Norwich-Stevenson, education and support coordinator for the Alzheimer Society. Music programs are becoming more and more popular for Alzheimer’s patients and similar choirs have been running throughout Ontario with great success. While research is still being done to explain why music positively impacts people suffering from the disease, Norwich-Stevenson has seen the effects firsthand. “Music seems to bring them to life in a sense,” she said. “Music seems to be untouched by the disorder. When a song that comes on that they know they will start singing and nothing else seems to have the power to do that.” Gazendam saw this effect with her grandfather and her family would often use music to calm him. “His Alzheimer’s is very late stage now, but when he used to get agitated we would put an iPod on and he would completely transform and be calm and humming and tapping his foot. It is amazing to see the impacts.” She hopes the same impacts will come from the choir and she has set it up so that each senior will be paired with a student volunteer. The duos will learn songs together and then come together as a choir. “We are going to focus on older songs

that will be familiar to the seniors like ‘You are My Sunshine’ or ‘When Irish Eyes are Smiling’, most of the songs will be new to the student volunteers, but I think that will be fun.” The choir will also offer a break for caregivers of seniors with Alzheimer’s and Norwich-Stevenson will be offering a support group during rehearsal times. Choir practices will start in February at Holy Cross and Gazendam hopes to have everyone ready for a concert on

May 13. She also hopes that both the these elderly people still have talents and The choir is still looking for senior students and the seniors benefit from the gifts and insights to share.

In Our Opinion

Date nights and a newfound love for the symphony

Earlier this month, Korey and I celebrated our tenth ‘dateversary’ – or anniversary of our first date. While this may seem insignificant to some, we have always celebrated the day of our first date. That day was one filled with anticipation, nerves and a bit of excitement and each year I like looking back and remembering all of those feelings, as sentimental as that sounds, and I think Korey does too. This year, we wanted to do something special to celebrate our milestone date-versary, but with limited funds, our options were also limited. Luckily, Kingston has a lot of great date options and we decided on a nice dinner and a trip to the symphony. In case you weren’t aware, Kingston has a lot of fantastic, unique and locally-focused restaurants. I love that about this city and Korey and I have made it

a habit to go somewhere different every time we go out for dinner (we don’t go that often) until we have explored all that Kingston has to offer. On this night, we chose The Grizzly Grill and as anticipated, it was really great. I would definitely recommend it. After dinner we headed to the Grand Theatre for a performance by the Kingston Symphony. This was a first for both of us; not only had we never seen a performance by the Kingston Symphony before, but we had also never seen a symphony performance in general. This was a bit surprising considering we both listen to classical musical and film scores on a regular basis while we work. The concert that night was a Pops concert entitled ‘Heroes and Superheroes’ (I know, very appropriate) and I was expecting it to be good, but I was still pleasantly surprised. As the opening notes were played I had that goosebumpy feeling you get when a really great song is performed. I was excited to be there and be a part of the performance. As the concert went on, Korey and I both kept commenting about how great it was and how much

we were enjoying it. The players were fantastic and the conductor, Evan Mitchell, was witty and entertaining in between pieces. The concert focused on hero and superhero music and we heard everything from the Superman and Spiderman themes, to music from the Magnificent Seven, Apollo 13, Star Wars and Game of Thrones. It was such a great mix and one that really had something for everyone. I was surprised to see such an age range in the audience. There were families there with young children, people our age and seniors and everyone looked like they were having a great time. By the end of the night, we were asking ourselves why we had never come to a symphony concert before. It is kind of like a mix of theatre (which we love) and a concert (which we also love) and it really isn’t that expensive. Needless to say, we looked at the rest of the symphony schedule when we got home and are already making plans for our next symphonic date night. If you haven’t been before I highly recommend planning a night out with the symphony, you won’t be disappointed.

Calm down over cauliflower

No, it’s not the End of Days. For off-season lovers the of white, tasteless relative a broccoli, it is a tough time, no doubt, but it’s certainly not a harbinger of the impending economic apocalypse.  Many in the pundit class have surmised of late that the ludicrously high price of the vegetable is emblematic of a new economic reality, in which the cost of living has risen to near unbearable levels. But is this really the case? We urge our readers to consider what can be done about high cost of importing U.S. produce, as opposed to nailing down who is ultimately responsible for the Great Cauliflower Gauge of 2016. Yes, the exchange rate is pretty bad, and there’s no sign that a return the high oil-prices that kept our dollar humming along is anywhere near on the horizon. Why? Here are a few reasons: Supply is at an all-time high, with new technologies coming online exploiting hitherto inextricable oil. Everybody wanted to cash in on the high price of Texas Tea. Demand? That’s another story. China is slowing down growth as it focuses on building a middle class, and renewable energy sources are quickly coming on line. The demand for oil is reaching a plateau, thereby contributing to the global glut. In fact, many European economies are committed to the policy of full decarbonisation within the century. Moreover, world calamites such as war and political unrest that have traditionally caused disruptions in supply are actually on steep decline when compared to last century. If you look at it this way, the news is actually pretty darn good. Unfortunately, however, sustainable markets can’t always cater to every whim and taste: tastes for instance, such as California cauliflower in the middle of the doldrums of January. Getting fresh, water-intensive crops in the middle of winter to a market thousands of miles away is a recipe for high prices – the current exchange rate combined with the ongoing California draught have only amplified this harsh reality. As always, there are two sides to every coin. Give yourself the chance to see the opportunity in the crisis and you will see there’s a chance for change and even growth. And that brings us back to the question of ultimate responsibility. As it turns out, there’s quite a bit of it to go around. You can blame grocers and the suppliers for their greed, you can blame China for their ineffective climate change policies which have contributed to the California draught, or you can even blame Trudeau for not doing more to bolster global demand for crude oil - but most of all, we should probably blame ourselves for paying the price. There are plenty of cheaper (and better tasting) things to eat at the store, and especially at the farms just outside our city. Oh and by the way, pundits, cauliflower was two for $5 dollars last week at Farm Boy, so we suggest you go get your fix now.

Forget, currently a Visiting Scholar at Massey College, University of Toronto, who studied the data from the 1974 to 1978 Dauphin, Manitoba experiment with Basic Income Guarantee (called Mincome) was one of those who presented before a group of Finnish parliamentarians in 2014. Her findings showed that among other things the Mincome experiment indicated there were significant positive effects in health care and education in that hospitalizations for mental health issues were reduced, accidents and injuries decreased and teenagers stayed in school longer.

The Dutch city of Utrecht is implementing a basic income experiment this month. In February, 2014 the Liberal Party of Canada almost unanimously supported a Basic Income pilot. The mayors of Calgary and Edmonton put forward the idea of implementing Basic Income Guarantee earlier in 2015. Prior to the Prince Edward Island election in May 2015, all provincial party leaders expressed they were in favour of Basic Income. In December, 2015 Kingston City Council voted unanimously to call for “a national discussion of a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) for all CaCLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: nadians.� Sharon Russell - 613-688-1483

deal with the city. Proceeds from the sale will be used to help finance the new Rideau Heights library. Coun. Mary Rita Holland sought assurances that community groups will get priority to book time in the meeting room at the school. Hurdle says operating details are still being worked out, but even though the school will handle all bookings the space will remain dedicated for community organizations. “Community usage will be a priority.” Mayor Bryan Paterson admits the city and public board have had their differences over the years, including a fractious debate over whether to allow the new school to be built on the Memorial Centre grounds, but relations are strong. “There have been some rough patches in the past but I feel we’ve moved past that and we are working

together. I think this is evidence that our relationship is strong.” Councillors also praised staff, who took the initiative and worked behind-the-scenes to broker a partnership that expanded far beyond their initial goal to maintain library service in the neighbourhood. The still-unnamed high school will combine about 1,134 students from KCVI and QECVI schools, which are both earmarked for closure, plus 207 students from the Grades 7 and 8 French immersion Module Vanier School. The existing QECVI is to be closed and demolished after the current school year. It’s not the first partnership between the city and public board. The two groups helped finance Caraco track and field with financial support from the catholic board. They’re currently working on shared services involving Rideau Heights Public School and a new city-funded community hub. They also teamed up to subsidize free transit passes to all high school students.

Overtime Hockey brings ‘fun-first’ spring/summer league to Kingston News – Hockey is a sport that is typically played during the colder months of the year, but a new league is hoping to give players in Kingston a chance to play in the off-season too. Overtime Hockey has been operating a four on four spring and summer league in Peterborough for the past 10 years, and this year organizer Michael Farrugia, is hoping to start something similar in Kingston. “I started the Peterborough league be-

cause there was a real craving for some spring and summer hockey,” said Farrugia. “There is a big passion for hockey out here and we know that same passion is in Kingston. That is why we chose it as the next venture for the program.” The league is based on a fun-first, fair play approach to the game. Play in all divisions is four on four, non-contact and there are no practices, making the league more relaxed and different from other traditional leagues. “Four on four is a lot different. There is more opportunity for ice time and puck touches,” explained Farrugia. “It

is less intense and it gives kids an opportunity to try new things that they may not get in the winter season. It is a great opportunity to help improve their hockey skills too.” In the past 10 years, the Overtime League in Peterborough has grown from just a few teams to 32. The league also offers five different divisions for players: Tyke, Novice, Atom, PeeWee and Bantam/M. Midget and age ranges five to 16. “It is a lot of fun and a great environment for these kids to play in,” said Farrugia. “We balance teams - we have an evaluation skate at the beginning and then we build the teams after that. We try to make everything equal so it is a good time for everyone.” Farrugia also tries to keep costs down for the league and players can register for the full

season for $275. “It works out to about $20 a game and that is very inexpensive in comparison to other leagues,” he said. “The price also includes jerseys, socks and referees.” Interest in Kingston has already impressed Farrugia and after a weekend trip to a few arenas, he already has some players signed up. “The interest was definitely there and we’ve had a few sign ups already without any advertising,” he said. “I think the league will be really great for Kingston.” He looks forward to watching kids in the league grow, just like the players in

Peterborough. “I love seeing the kids evolve,” he said. “In a winter league kids would only have about eight minutes of ice time per game, but with this league they have about 25-30 minutes. The opportunity for them to grow as players increases and the feedback we get is overwhelming. Kids really look forward to our program.” The Overtime Hockey spring/summer league in Kingston runs from April 17 to July 10.

WritersFest launches new Protégé Project to mentor young writers mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Since it began, Kingston WritersFest has worked to promote awareness and appreciation of the literary arts and nurture literary expression in Kingston. Now, a new program hopes to further that nurturing and inspire a new generation of writers.

The Merilyn Simonds Protégé Project is new to Writersfest this year and aims to create a one-onone writing mentorship experience. The program, which partnered with Pathways to Education, is intended for high-school students who possess an enthusiasm and talent for writing but who confront challenging circumstances that might limit their creative opportunities. Qualified applicants, in Grades 9 to 12, were

asked to submit applications for the program and two lucky individuals have been selected: Thalia Danielson, a Grade 12 student at École Secondaire Catholique Marie-Rivier, and Megan Erb, a Grade 10 student at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. “I’ve always really loved writing ever since I was little and I have been writing stories for as long as I can remember,” said Erb, who couldn’t believe it when she got accepted to the program. “I was so excited and I may have cried a little. I am just so excited for the opportunity.” Beginning in February, Danielson and Erb will work with two well-known Kingston writers, Susan Olding and Lawrence Scanlan. Both Scanlan and Olding helped select their mentees from the applicants and Scanlan was overwhelmed by the amazing pieces he read. “It was really great to see. In general we looked for an original voice and a way with words,” he said. “We were looking for the best possible writing and I think we found it with the two winners.” While both of the winners have a passion for writing, they are also eager to learn more and hear what their experienced mentors have to say about their work. “I hope to get some feedback on how to improve my writing skills and I am looking forward to having an inspirational mentor,” said Danielson. “I’m not sure what I want to write about just yet, but I hope they will help me find a direction.” The program runs until the end of May and Scanlan and Olding will be helping their mentees

produce a fully finished, ready for publication work that will be showcased at Kingston WritersFest 2016. “We think it is very important for the students to have an audience and get their work out there,” said Olding. “We want to help them identify their creative process and help build on their strengths as writers. We also want to help them find a place for their writing and so we hope the work they complete will also get published.” Olding is excited for the program and commented that she wished something like this existed when she was growing up. “I can’t imagine a more exciting opportunity for a student,” she said. Scanalan is also looking forward to the program and interacting with a new generation of passionate writers. “I hope that the passion they clearly show for writing will be stoked by the process and that they learn a lot,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to it and I hope they are too.” To learn more about the Merilyn Simonds Protégé Project, visit kingstonwritersfest.ca

Globetrotters teach Kingston kids the ‘ABCs of bullying prevention’ Teaching kids about bullying is just one of the many things the Globetrotters do for communities across North America. Recently, they embarked on a mission to spread smiles and over the next 10 years, they hope to spread 100 million smiles across North America. “I am not sure how we are going to quantify that, but

we are doing things like visiting hospitals and lending a helping hand wherever we go,” said McClurkin. They will also be spreading smiles with their performances and McClurkin is looking forward to seeing many of them in Kingston on Jan. 30. “It feels good to be able to make people smile without them even know-

ing who I am,” he said. “Our performances are high energy, funny and entertaining and we just have a great time and we hope the audiences do too.” The Harlem Globetrotters will be playing at the Rogers K-Rock Centre on Jan. 30 at 3 p.m. For more information or tickets visit www.harlemglobetrotters.com 739E ARLINGTON PARK PLACE, KINGSTON, ON Phone: (613)-634-9706 Toll Free: 1-877-CANWEALTH (1-877-226-9325)

ADVISING ON: s s s s s s

News – It is estimated that one out of every four students will be bullied during the school year, but the Harlem Globetrotters are hoping to change that. As part of their philanthropic and goodwill efforts, the Globetrotters have put together an ‘ABCs of Bullying Prevention’ program and on Jan. 18 they brought that program to the students of Mulberry Waldorf Elementary School in Kingston. “We will be playing a game in Kingston on Jan. 30, but we always try to come in a couple weeks before our games to spread our message of goodwill throughout the community,” said Globetrotter Zeus McClurkin. “I visited the kids and showed them some tricks and I also talked to them about bullying, something we see as a serious issue throughout North America.” McClurkin focused his presentation on the ABCs of bullying – action, bravery and compassion and also shared his own experiences with the kids. “I tell the kids about how I was bullied when I was their age and their size,” he said. “I was able to overcome it and they see me now and they think that if I made it through and got to where I am today then they can too.” For McClurkin, the most important part of the presentation is the part about bravery and teaching kids that bravery doesn’t mean fighting back. “A lot of times, people think it is brave to stand up to a bully or fight back and yell back, but I think bravery is having the ability to walk away,” he said. “If you get into a fight or yelling match with a bully then chances are you will both get in trouble and that doesn’t help anyone.” The kids at Mulberry Waldorf were very receptive to the presentation and McClurkin is always happy to see the

impact the presentation has on them. “I was bullied and I wish I had someone come in and talked to me about everything and that may have allowed me to overcome it better,” he said. “As athletes we naturally have a magnetism and it is great that we can use our powers for good.”

It was a bittersweet afternoon at QECVI on Jan. 20 as both the junior and senior boys (pictured) basketball teams took to their home court for the last time. While the basketball season isn’t over just yet, the games marked the last time the teams played on the court in QECVI before the school is closed in June. “The school has been around for 60 years and it is the end of an era, so to speak,” said coach Joanna Belfer. “I don’t think it has sunk in for the players just yet.” The school will face many ‘lasts’ over the coming months and Belfer thinks it is nice to acknowledge all of them and remember the great memories at the school. “It is nice to commemorate it all and take it with us moving forward.” Both teams played Napanee District Secondary School and while the juniors won 64-44, the seniors lost 56-46.

Local business owner donates $28,000 worth of merchandise to Better Beginnings

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

News - Supporting families; creating community; building relationships; sharing experiences; changing lives: those are listed as the core values of Go Green Baby on the local store’s website, and owner Natalie George is putting her money where her mouth is this month by donating approximately $28,000 worth of merchandise to the Kingston Community Health Centre program Better Beginnings for Kingston Children. George says that supporting the community

is a big part of her business philosophy. Over the years, Go Green Baby has given back to a number of charities and causes, such as Interval House, Save a Family from Syria, the Happy Soul Project and the NICU, but Better Beginnings is the one she keeps coming back to; this is the third time she has donated a large amount of merchandise to them in the last few years. “Go Green Baby is located in their district (the north end),” she explains. …“We’re always looking for ways to bring about change in our community and to help people in our community. I really like Better Beginnings because they support a wide variety of families. We’ve helped out quite a bit in various capacities.” Recently, George decided to simplify the store and carry fewer products. Instead of trying to sell off the excess, she wanted to donate it to those in need. “I do it with my own life too. When we buy a new appliance or anything new, most of the time we just donate the [old] item some-

George explains that most of the products grams and school readiness programs. she carries at Go Green Baby are fairly high end, and thus at a price point that’s inaccessible for many families. “We want safe products in people’s homes, so this is a great opportunity for us to give back so that families that typically wouldn’t have access to our products can have access to really good quality items.” “There is no doubt that the families that will benefit from this very generous donation will be thrilled,” says Better Beginnings coordinator Janice Webb, noting that it really speaks to the old phrase ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. “We are truly fortunate to have a business like this in our community WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2016 – 7 PM ALGONQUIN COMMONS THEATRE - OTTAWA that is part of our community and we (located at 1385 Woodroffe Ave., - Building E) can’t thank them enough for recognizTickets at www.AlgonquinSA.TicketFly.com Call 1-888-732-1682 ing the unique needs of our program.” or in person at the Algonquin Commons Theatre Box Office Better Beginnings offers a wide

Events – Filmmaker, Elisa Paloschi grew up in Kingston and while her career has taken her all around the world, she still has a strong connection to the city. On Feb. 25, she will further that connection when her latest film, ‘Driving with Selvi’ is screened as the opening night feature at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival (KCFF). “I am really looking forward to showing this film to Kingston,” she said. “So much of the support I received for this film came from Kingston and so many of my friends and family members have heard about the film. I can’t wait for them to see it.” The film follows Selvi, South India’s first female taxi driver, over a 10-year period as she takes control of her life and transforms from an abused child bride into an independent and empowered working mother. Paloschi met Selvi in 2004 as she was travelling from Australia back to Canada. She was in India as a tourist and didn’t expect to make a film, but after meeting Selvi, that all changed. “I began volunteering at a shelter and Selvi was among the women living there,” she explained. “She was starting a taxi company with a couple other women and at the time women taxi drivers just didn’t exist there. I was really impressed by these women who all came from very violent and complicated pasts and had no education and yet they were setting out on this venture.” The director of the shelter asked Paloschi to shoot some film while she was there and as she started interviewing different women, she was struck by Selvi and her story. “Selvi had an incredible inner strength and even though she was shy and quiet, the control she had of her own life was really evident,” she said. “Even then, I didn’t know I was going to be making a film.” When Paloschi returned to Canada, she started sorting through everything she had shot and put together a short film at her home in Kingston, but she quickly realized that she wasn’t done with Selvi’s story. Paloschi kept returning to India and each time

she did, more and more had changed with Selvi’s life and story, and, in turn, the film. “Selvi allowed me to film her more, but only because she thought that if the film could change the life of one girl she’d be happy,” said Paloschi. “Our idea was to take the film into the community and that was all we planned to do, but it kept getting bigger and bigger.” After 10 years of filming, Paloschi realized that the story was really about Selvi’s healing journey. “When I realized and recognized that she had healed from her past and was living completely in the present and in the future, the story was over,” she said. “That was the end of the film, but not our journey.” Both Paloschi and Selvi are committed to showing the film to as many people as they can and specifically to as many women and girls in India as they can. “We want to open dialogue and create change in regards to child marriage, but more specifically to create opportunities and awareness for women to work in non-traditional livelihoods,” explained Paloschi. “I saw in Selvi the empowerment and the agency she had because she was sitting in the driver’s seat. It really helped her build her confidence and we want that for other girls too.” The film has screened at several film festivals now, including the Mumbai Film Festival, and the response to it has been overwhelming. At each screening, Paloschi receives more sign ups to her mailing list and more requests for other screenings. The screening at the KCFF is just another opportunity to share Selvi’s story and both Paloschi and Selvi are looking forward to it. “Selvi has been to Kingston with me and she is really excited to be seeing my mom again and spending time at her house and she really feels at home there,” she said. “I started with this short film about Selvi in Kingston and now I am bringing the full story. It is like it has come full circle.” ‘Driving with Selvi’ shows the opening night film of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival and screens at the Isabel Bader Performance Theatre on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. For more information about the film and the festival, which runs Feb. 25 to 28, visit www.kingcanfilmfest.com

Tommy Vancoughnett playing drums with his family band, Picket Fences. Photo/Submitted

Mending fences: local musician returns to his roots and family band By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News –Joe and Pam Vancoughnett have always been passionate about music; in 1989, the couple started a family country band with a couple of friends. They played covers of country classics and literally made a name for themselves in the community. “We really didn’t pick the name,” explained Joe. “We played a show for an 80-year-old woman and afterwards she came up to us and said ‘we looked just like a picket fence up there with our white and black clothes and height differences’. From then on it stuck.” Picket Fences continued to evolve and cycled through various members; over the years, Joe and Pam continued to keep their growing family involved. Music was always a part of life for their kids and eventually their son Tommy took the stage with them. “At a point our drummer couldn’t play anymore and that is when Tom jumped in,” said Joe. “He was about 10 years old and he was just taking lessons at the time, but he came on the stage and he just blew us away. We were really surprised and so was the audience and he really became a selling point for us at that point.” Tommy continued to play with Picket Fences throughout his teen years and into his 20s. The band played local concerts and festivals, weddings and different events on the weekends and eventually other opportunities started coming Tommy’s way. “I had the opportunity to join a country band called Ambush and after some debate, I took it,” explained Vancoughnett. “I knew it meant leaving the family band, but it was a great opportunity to try something new. I’ve spent the past few years touring all over Canada with the band and it has been great.” Both Joe and Pam were extremely happy for their son and pushed him to take the opportunity. They continued on with Picket Fences after Tom-

my left, but things weren’t the same. “It was a great opportunity for him and we fully supported the venture, but we missed him,” said Joe. “We went through a few other members while Tom was gone, but the chemistry was never really the same.” While Tommy did really enjoy his time with Ambush, he missed his family too, especially his wife and three kids back home in Kingston. The life of a touring musician was really demanding, especially as Tommy tried to figure out career options at the same time, and after a lot of consideration, he decided to come home. “I decided to get back to my roots and closer to home. The experience put things into perspective for me. I love music and I love performing, but I also love my family and having more of a balance and I can do both right here in Kingston.” Tommy’s official return to Picket Fences happened on New Year’s Eve at a local concert. Both Pam and Joe were excited to have him back and Joe is excited to keep the momentum going. “We love seeing Tom up there with us again and also seeing his kids coming out and enjoying the shows too,” he said. “The best part has been getting back together on that stage and having a great time every time we perform.” Picket Fences is still going strong for the family and although Joe is happy to have everything back the way it should be, he also looks forward to retiring from the band and hopefully passing it off to Tommy in the future. “I’d love to see it continue on with him and his family,” he said. “It really is a labour of love for our family.” For now, Tommy is just happy to be home and is in no hurry to takeover just yet. “It would be fun to take it over sometime, but I’m not in any rush,” he said. “I’m having a lot of fun with my family and doing what I love and that is what it’s all about.” For more information about Picket Fences, visit http://www.pickettfences.webs.com/ or look for them and their tour dates on Facebook.

Mayor Doyle believes it is time to meet with MPP Sophie Kiwala with regard to escalating OPP costs. “I don’t think that she knows wind towers have been added and they are charging just as much as for a residential household. --Waste disposal relative to volume control. Councillor Springgay began a discussion on tags.. will look at best practices from other communities. One issues 52 free tags per year for bags of garbage and when those tags are used up, there is a charge for extra tags. No garbage bags are accepted unless they are tagged….. and they are charged for extra tags. (Some island residents bring many bags per week of garbage and haulage costs of garbage is on the increase as are the number of trips) Springgay will reconvene Waste Site Transition Committee and will bring a proposal to council. Recycling just about everything possible in the bins provided (and the De Bruin containers for organics) is the best way to limit the number of bags of GARBAGE coming to the Waste Site.

Cornell’s Auto Sales & Service offers peace of mind to their customers

With the price of new vehicles steadily increasing, coupled with a high rate of depreciation, pre-owned vehicle sales are growing right across North America, taking up a large percentage of the total vehicle sales market. Where to buy is equally as important as what model to buy. You are at risk when you purchase from a private source as you have little consumer protection. Many motorists in the region have purchased a quality pre-owned automobile from Cornell’s Auto Sales & Service, knowing this dealer is registered with OMVIC and UCDA, associations which provide a code of ethics and additional layer of consumer protection. Many vehicles sold

come with the balance of the factory warranty. Aftermarket warranty plans are available to upgrade or extend your warranty at a reasonable cost for added peace of mind. Cornell’s Auto Sales & Service showcases a large and varied selection of late model import and domestic cars, trucks, sport-utility vehicles, crossovers and vans. Each of their vehicles has been carefully selected, thoroughly serviced by licensed technicians in their on-site service department, and refurbished by their detailing crew, if necessary. It is also fully certified and emission-tested when you pick it up. They handle all the licensing requirements on your behalf. Customers can expect a

fair price for their trade-in, which will lower the payable taxes on your purchase. Financing can be arranged on the premises (OAC). The 3 bay Service Department provides repairs, factory scheduled maintenance and MTO safety inspections for all makes and models. They install AC Delco and other top brand parts that meet OEM specifications, supporting the requirements of vehicles still under warranty. They also offer loaner vehicles and a comfortable waiting area. With over 35 years as a licensed technician, owner Cornel Berghout invites you to arrange your test drive or service appointment. You can view their inventory online at www.cornellsauto.com.

Spy film features local cast

Hincer decided to write something with women in protagonist roles. “The three leads in [No Fury] are the three female spy characters,” he said. Hincer said that the film is half an hour long, and it’s filled with twists and turns. “Part of the appeal of the film are the surprises that come from the experience.” Acting has always been a passion for Hincer. “Even as far back as Grade 7 and 8,” he said. In the 1990s, he moved to Toronto to work full-time in the entertainment world. He got involved in films, voice-overs and TV shows. “I’d heard so many stories about typecasting,” he said. “More and more I find it’s getting better in terms of film and TV with stronger

After Kingston filmmaker Ilke Hincer completed his last film, Paper Covers Rock (2013), a straight up drama, he wanted to try something different. The result is No Fury, a spy film with comedic twists. “I’ve always been a fan of James Bond and Mission Impossible films,”

said Hincer. “With what can be shot nowadays, even for independent productions, I wanted to try something along that vein. No Fury has a lot of those elements to it. With a spy film, you have mystery, you have suspense.” One of the twists to this new film is a strong female element. “I acted in Toronto for about a decade,” said Hincer. “What I would notice in going to auditions, is that only once in a while there were strong roles for women. Such roles are so few and far between in Toronto. My actress friends were always complaining that the only female roles were for the girl in the bikini or the girlfriend.”

female roles. Barriers are breaking down. Women are 50% or more of the audience, and, in real life, there are strong women. If you want to keep things realistic and represent society, we need to put w o m e n in strong parts.” He said No Fury, which was shot locally, features both comedy and action. When a

Ilke Hincer and Helana Marks in the film No Fury, which will have its premiere at TVCOGECO studio on January 31. Photo by Garrett Cluett, courtesy of Ilke Hincer / filmmaker combines suspense, action and humor, the complications are multiplied. “When you have multiple actors in a scene, you have to get the timing just right for the comedic effect,” said Hincer. “The same applies to action scenes. There’s a real choreography to it. A lot of time is spent in rehearsing and in the editing process. When you put humor into some of the action sequences you make it doubly hard to make it come alive.” Hincer said that he’s the kind of person who fidgets in his seat during a long movie that may not offer the best storytelling, and he wanted his film to capture everyone’s attention throughout the viewing. Since he didn’t have the budget for a feature film, he wanted to tell a specific story in about 30 minutes. “It’s a ride the audience goes on from beginning to end,” he said. “Prepare to be surprised. It’s like the difference from seeing a roller coaster in the distance and then the experience of going on it. There’s non-stop action in the film.” To Hincer, the key to hooking the audience is the emotional authenticity of the actors. A director and filmmaker have to make the characters believable in order to bring them to life. “We took time on shoot days in oneor two-minute sequences to bring each Continued on page 30

is on Sunday, January 31 at the TVCOGECO Kingston Studio, and it’s an in-person viewing. This film is not being broadcast on COGECO TV. After the premiere at Cogeco, Hincer is hoping to include No Fury in film festivals and perhaps move into digital downloads in the future. He thinks the Kingston audience will be pleasantly surprised. “It doesn’t come across as a modest budget film,” said Hincer. “Blake Davis has written a wonderful score for the film. The score is often instrumental to the enjoyment of the experience. Blake and I were really on the same page. He makes the action come alive. As the characters breathe, there’s a certain momentum for the film and the music has to meet that momentum.” Hincer said his films have become longer, and, as a storyteller, he would one day like to consider a feature-length story. As an acting coach, Hincer has some general advice for actors: “Get really comfortable with bringing the character to life. It’s not so much about the lines. For the most

part, the writer’s not sitting there figuring out the most literate way of getting something across. It’s about hearing the character’s voice in your head and bringing that to life. The key is to look at what’s on the page and bringing what life experience you have to make the person you’re portraying come alive. Embody the role; don’t act.” No Fury features several locals, including principal actors Helena Marks, Signy Lynch, Anthony D.P. Mann and Amanda Edwards. “It’s a really unique take on the genre,” said Hincer. “We’ve pulled out all the stops for 30 minutes of no-holds-barred action.” There’s one showing only at 2 p.m. on January 31 at the TVCOGECO Kingston studio at 170 Colborne Street. Members of the cast and crew will be in attendance. Tickets are five dollars, payable at the door, cash only. If you plan on attending, send an e-mail to nofuryfilm@gmail.com to confirm your attendance in advance, and indicate how many will be in your group. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

Downtown Kingston seeks year-round exemption to allow holiday shopping By Bill Hutchins

News – Downtown Kingston’s business improvement area (BIA) is seeking permission to allow stores the option of opening on statutory holidays all year round. But it’s up to council to approve the special designation. Under the province’s Retail Business Holidays Act, local councils can exempt retail businesses from holiday closures for the “maintenance or development of tourism.” The special tourism designation, if approved, would only apply to shops that fall within the BIA’s boundaries unless council expands it to include the entire city.

The current bylaw allows all store owners city-wide the option of opening their doors on public holidays between May 1 and Oct. 15 each year. That covers major holidays such as Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day and Thanksgiving Day. The downtown association says it was content with the rules for many years when Kingston was considered a tourist town in the summer months. But it says times have changed since the partial exemption was approved in 1998. “The legislation seems outdated in today’s multicultural society, and non-inclusive, and, for many, it seems irrational – why would a bookstore and a tobacco outlet

be exempt, but not a fashion boutique or gift shop?” asked the BIA’s board of directors. The group also says competition in the retail market continues to increase with more people making purchases online, and many retailers are struggling. The exemption being sought by the BIA would essentially allow downtown stores to open on holidays that fall outside the May to October restrictions, covering four additional stat holidays over Christmas and Easter. “The proposed changes, if approved, would permit retail businesses operating in the downtown BIA, to be open on New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day,” according to a report by commissioner Cynthia Beach. City staff say February’s Family Day is not included on the list of “holidays” as defined under the Act. The BIA says many non-retail businesses – hotels, motels, B&Bs, doctors, dentists, lawyers, entertainment venues, corner stores, gas stations and restaurants - are already permitted to open on holidays, and the tourist area request would simply level the playing field. “Ontario municipalities that have captured this tourist marketing advantage include Gananoque, Ottawa, Markham, Windsor, Oakville, Port Hope and Prince Edward County,” according to the BIA. Mayor Bryan Paterson has said he’s open to legalizing year-long holiday shopping. “My sense is that this is not talking about

anyone being forced to open. It’s simply about having the option to open.” Coun. Richard Allen agrees the time has come to throw the doors open to include all statutory holidays, and he would support a city-wide exemption to provide economic benefits to all merchants. “I think it’s fine. Not everybody adheres to these holidays in terms of their religious beliefs. There are people who are willing to work those days to earn the extra money.” As for retail workers who might not want to work on more holidays, the BIA says the ministry of labour has rules to protect them. “The act states that most employees have the right to refuse to work on a public holiday if they so choose. The act also regulates the rate of pay and/or substitute day off if they do work on a public holiday.” The BIA says downtown is Kingston’s primary tourist destination with natural, historical and cultural attractions, and gets many visitors who travel during holiday weekends. “We often get calls from hotels who have been asked by guests, “Why aren’t the stores open?” The request for a year-round exemption must be the focus of a public meeting, which is tentatively set for March 9 at 6 p.m. in the council chamber of City Hall. It will then be up to councillors, at a meeting set for April 5, to decide whether to approve a bylaw to declare the BIA a ‘Tourist Area.’ The bylaw can be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Host a successful open house

When selling their homes, homeowners can employ several strategies in an effort to drum up interest among potential buyers. One such strategy is to host an open house, which invites prospective buyers to tour the property. Realtors have long used open houses to introduce properties to the market, and a well-planned open house can help sellers generate numerous offers in a single day. Whether working with a realtor or listing homes on their own, homeowners can follow a few simple tips to ensure their open house is a success. • Generate publicity online. Nowadays many prospective home buyers do the bulk of their research via their computers and devices. By advertising their open houses online, sellers have the potential to reach a wide array of buyers. Many real estate agents employ sites such as Zillow.com and Trulia.com to promote open houses and showcase properties, so sellers can make sure their agents are taking advantage of these wildly popular sites. Some even allow sellers to list their homes on apps that buyers can peruse on their smartphones. • Generate publicity in traditional ways as well. Traditional publicity should not be overlooked when promoting an open house. A $5 “Open House” lawn sign is an effective and inexpensive way to attract buyers who are driving through desirable neighborhoods looking for their next homes. While the Internet is a valuable resource to promote your open house, the sheer volume of online listings can make it hard to reach potential buyers.

OPEN HOUSE TUES, THURS, SAT 1:00 – 4:00 (EXCEPT HOLIDAYS)

A traditional lawn sign and a listing in your local newspaper are budgetfriendly promotional opportunities that can generate interest in your open house. • Invite your neighbors. Neighbors can be great salesmen for your home and the community where you live. Invite friendly neighbors to your open house and encourage them to chat with prospective buyers. Buyers will appreciate neighbors’ firsthand knowledge about the community, and their friendliness can help to create a strong first impression that increases buyer interest in your home. • Consider some changes to your home decor. When hosting an open house, you might not need to go so far as to stage your home, but you may want to make some changes to the decor to make your home more neutral and appealing to buyers from all walks of life. Remove any potentially controversial artwork or decorative items, replacing them with more neutral items that won’t offend or distract any potential buyers. • Leave the hosting to the professionals. Unless you’re selling the home on your own, resist the temptation to attend your open house. Let your realtor do the work. Your absence can make it easier for potential buyers to see themselves in your home, while your presence may make them uncomfortable or hesitant to explore the property and ask any questions. When hosting an open house, sellers can take several steps to make their homes more appealing to buyers.

Add curb appeal to your property • Make the main entryway more inviting. Creating a more inviting entryway won’t be as simple as cleaning up the yard, but it can help create a strong first impression without breaking the bank. To begin, remove plants and furniture from the front porch or area surrounding the doorway, as such items can create a cluttered feel. If the front door is old, replace it. Custom doors may be expensive, but they might add the wow factor buyers are looking for. If a new door is beyond your means or just unnecessary, repaint the door, ideally in a color that complements the color of your home and the surrounding landscape. • Address pavement problems. Paving problems are not necessarily an expensive fix, but the cost of repairing driveways and walkways can add up if it’s been awhile since these areas were refurbished. Still, one of the first things buyers will notice when getting out of their cars is the ground they’re walking on, so patch and repair or even replace driveways and walkways that have fallen into disrepair. • Add or upgrade outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces also can set a property apart from others on the market. A recent study from the National Association of Realtors found that buyers would not hesitate to pay asking price for homes with outdoor living spaces. When adding or upgrading outdoor living spaces, try to depersonalize the spaces as much as possible, as buyers want to picture themselves,

and not the sellers, enjoying these areas. Include some comfortable furniture, adequate lighting and a dining area in your outdoor living

space as well. Curb appeal can add a lot to a home, while lack of such appeal can make a home difficult to sell.

Homeowners who want to sell their properties for asking price or more should address curb appeal before putting their homes on the market.

Many people are familiar with the idea that a strong first impression can go a long way. While that idea is most often referenced in regard to personal interactions, it’s also applicable to real estate. When selling a home, homeowners who emphasize curb appeal may find it far easier to sell their homes. Curb appeal refers to the impression a home’s exterior makes on people seeing the home for the first time. In 2014, the online real estate database Zillow® surveyed real estate agents and found that curb appeal was one of the five most important factors when selling a home. Projects that improve curb appeal can be vast undertakings or simpler projects, and the following are a handful of projects to improve a home’s curb appeal that run the gamut from simple to complex. • Clean up the yard. Cleaning up the yard is among the simpler yet most effective projects to improve a home’s curb appeal. When selling their homes, homeowners should clear the yard of any clutter, including kids’ toys, grass clippings or items that might be scattered throughout the yard. A cluttered yard suggests homeowners do not care much about their home’s appearance, and that may lead buyers to think that indifference extended to maintaining the home’s interior as well. Many buyers will ignore properties without any external aesthetic appeal, but cleaning up the yard does not require much effort or expense on the part of sellers.

Things to consider before buying an investment property Real estate can be an incredibly fruitful investment. Buying a property at the right time can provide investors with a substantial return when they decide to sell, and that opportunity compels many men and women to consider investing in real estate. While there’s no denying real estate can yield a great return on buyers’ initial investments, there’s more to making money in real estate than simply buying a property and waiting for its value to rise. Buyers who are thinking of investing in real estate should consider a host of factors before purchasing an investment property. Price trends Recent sale activity in a given town or neighborhood is something prospective real estate investors should study before buying an investment property. Would-be real estate investors can explore real estate websites such as Zillow.com for recent sale information, which may also be available through local government agencies. Such data can be invaluable, showing potential investors which neighborhoods are in demand and which may be in decline. Taxes Investment properties are not eligible for as many tax benefits as primary residences. However, landlords can write off repairs, management costs and other fees associated with rental properties. But it’s not just their own tax bill prospective investors should consider before buying an investment property. Many potential buyers down the road may prefer a property in an area where property taxes are relatively low, so even if you can afford the tax on the investment property, you may

find buyers are unwilling to assume that burden when you put the property up for sale in the future. Location Prospective real estate investors no doubt know the value of location with regard to real estate, but if you can’t afford to buy in a neighborhood that’s currently hot, that does not necessarily mean you can’t still capitalize on that area’s popularity. When a town becomes popular, its property values rise, and many buyers find themselves just barely priced out. When that happens, the surrounding towns tend to become the next hot neighborhood, as these areas are nearly as close to the attractions that make the initial neighborhood so desirable. Buying on the outskirts of a hot neighborhood can set you up to benefit nicely when that area gets too pricey. Schools School systems should be examined even if you do not have children. In a recent Trulia.com survey of American home buyers, 35 percent of respondents with children under age 18 indicated they want to live in great school districts. GreatSchools.org has profiles of 200,000 public, public charter and private preK-12 schools. Investors can use the GreatSchools.org search engine to find information about local schools and school systems so they can better position themselves to buy properties in areas that will appeal to buyers down the road. Real estate can be a fruitful investment, and investors who want to benefit the most from their properties will explore various factors before purchasing a home or homes.

Add value to your home with these renovations selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away from another room. Popular homeimprovement television channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths need 30 to 35 square feet for a stand-up shower or bathtub. • Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic improvements aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets. • Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary home. Adding light can mean including more overhead and accent lighting. Under-cabinet task lighting is a nice touch. Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can bring natural light into rooms that may not have southor west-facing windows. • Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor living spaces have become more desireable, especially as the “staycation” has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will

depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project. • Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping and fresh-

Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home. Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeowners’ investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale. • Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen. • Look to paint. One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an eco-friendly home, which is very desireable these days. • Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive

bath home with upgraded kitchen, hardwood floors, vinyl windows and more. Separate 1200 sq ft commercial building or re-purpose to suit. In addition there is a detached 2 car garage with drive through. Lots of parking. Come see it today!! MLS® 15610425

Resources for firsttime home buyers

The housing market has begun to heat up thanks to an economy on the rebound. Few people aspire to rent for life, and home ownership is a dream shared by both natives and immigrants who came to the country seeking a better life. Each year the National Association of Realtors compiles a profile of buyers and sellers that documents trends in the real estate market. Although the majority of first-time home buyers identify as white, the next largest group are Hispanics, who account for 11 percent of the market of first-time home buyers. The rapidly growing Hispanic population is influencing all areas of modern living, including real estate. Estimates suggest that, between now and 2020, Hispanics, the second largest ethnic group in America, will account for 50 percent of new home buyers. Over the last three decades, two of every five newcomers to the housing market were Hispanic, according to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals. In addition to needing assistance finding their dream homes, Hispanic buyers also may need help securing loans to finance their upcoming home purchases. Just this year ezDinero.com launched a multinational online alternate lending solution that helps first-time borrowers connect with top experts who specialize in personal loans. The company works directly with the

Spanish-speaking market and serves as a mediator between lenders and borrowers. The service is one of the few reputable online companies that can help first-time borrowers find financial solutions that meet their exact specifications and connect them with the top lenders in the industry. Marina H. Gonzales, Director of Public Relations at ezDinero, states that there is a need for this type of bilingual service for the Spanish-speaking audience, which is underserved in the United States. “ezDinero was created with the intent of giving the Spanish-speaking population an opportunity to meet their personal lending needs, especially for first-time borrowers,” Gonzales said. This alternative lending solution is not the only option available to Hispanics. Some people find success through government assistance and grant programs geared toward the Hispanic community. The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals can be an excellent resource for further information, instructing people on how to apply for loans, secure lower interest rates and qualify for loans even if you have a poor or brief credit history. Hispanics wield more influence in the United States than ever before, and more and more Hispanics are making that influence known in the real estate market.
