$35M for a new school in Kingston means the closing of KCVI and QECVI, much to the dismay of many residents

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – On Monday, March 24, the ongoing questions about the closing of secondary schools KCVI and QECVI came to an abrupt end. MPP John Gerretsen announced that the province will fund a new $35 million school in Kingston and that both schools in question will close as a result. Immediately following the announcement, Kingstonians responded on social media and elsewhere.

“It is a horrible decision for our city,” said parent and member of the Program Accommodation Review Committee (PARC), Lindsay Davidson. “It is not unexpected and we’ve certainly had a lot of feedback along the way. The community support has been almost exclusively for preserving community schools, but that doesn’t matter. Closure is certainly not the only option, but clearly there has been an agenda from the start to have a new school built.”

According to Limestone District School Board

Chair, Laurie French, closure was the most viable option. French commented that the decision making process was lengthy, but that the board couldn’t be happier with the decision.

“We are very pleased that they [Ontario Government] saw fit to approve our submission and we see it as a great opportunity to improve enrolment, opportunities and facilities in our city,” added French.

While the decision to build the new school has been made, many are now questioning where this new school will be built. Many residents have looked to the Memorial Centre grounds, or possibly on the QECVI grounds.

“We anticipate that a new school may be built on the QECVI property,” explained Davidson. “But that school will not be very good for families that live and work in the downtown area of the city and that is my main concern. We have a very special city and our downtown area cannot be dismissed.”

Developer proposes Kingston to host Victoria Day Centennial Drive high-rises in fireworks at scenic west end park Cat North neighbourhood

the 40-acre park underwent major improvements to the shoreline, walking trails and picnic areas.

A new splash pad, playground and amphitheatre were part of the refurbishment. A 12-foot wide staircase and sloped pathways also provide easier access between the park’s upper plateau and the enhanced waterfront setting.

Victoria Day fireworks used to be a staple of Lake Ontario Park until around 2002 when it was cancelled during a feud between the city and the site’s former amusement park operator.

It costs about $1,000 a minute to light fireworks. There was no debate among councillors about the motion to spend $20,000.

“I’m all in favour of more things that get people down there,” said Coun. Liz Schell, whose district includes the spacious waterfront park.

Kingston Heritage – A growing Kingston neighbourhood could get even more housing than what was originally envisioned.

A new subdivision is planned within the Cataraqui North neighbourhood that would add hundreds of townhouse and apartment units at 1163 Centennial Drive, currently a vacant lot north of Princess Street.

“The proposed development includes 40 stacked townhouse units; four high density residential buildings of varying heights (4-12 storeys); commercial buildings and a mixed use residential/ commercial building,” according to documents submitted to the planning department.

The developer, Marilyn Taylor, is seeking Official Plan, zoning and subdivision approvals to build a total of 561 residential units.

The property in question is 6.6 hectares (16 acres) in size and located on the southwest corner of Centennial Drive and Cataraqui Woods Drive. It is within an area the city has defined a business district that is “primarily intended to accommodate employment opportunities,” according to the planning department.

However, the site’s owner says housing would be a better fit for the property rather than trying to find commercial buyers or tenants for the land.

The proposal was the focus of a public meeting at the planning committee March 20.

However, there are many factors for planners and politicians to consider before they

decide whether to change the land designaKingston Heritage – Victoria Day fireworks are tion from commercial to residential.

The developer is also asking for permission returning to Lake Ontario Park for the first time to increase the area’s density from 125 dwell- in a decade.

City council voted 11-1 to support a March 18 ing units per hectare to 175 units per hectare, and to increase the maximum building height motion by Mayor Mark Gerretsen to restore the from eight to 12 storeys. In addition, some of fireworks display starting this year.

Kinsmen Dream Home proceeds already being distributed to worthy local causes

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - For 26 years now, community members in the Kingston area have excitedly purchased tickets for the Kinsmen Dream Home Lottery in hopes of winning a brand new, luxurious, state-of-the-art home. This year’s Dream Home is located at 889 Roshan Dr. and is valued at $500,000.

But the best part of purchasing Dream Home tickets, which are currently on sale for $150, is that doing so benefits charities and causes right here in the community – and some of these funds have already been distributed.

Recently, the Kinsmen donated $20,000 of Dream Home profits to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), with specific instructions that the money be used to help local children who are blind or partially sighted grow in to suc-

cessful, confident adults. CNIB’s child and family services support children through programs like Braille preparation, tactile learning sessions and peer programs.

Kinsmen member Pete Butler explains that the CNIB was a regular donation recipient years ago, as a couple of club members at the time had a personal connection to the charity. They were inspired to return to the cause when they were made aware of a strong need for support in this area among local children.

“Frankly, we’re most strongly motivated by children in need,” Butler says. [The $20,000 will go toward] buying equipment to assist these kids.

We service what we sell!

It’s a sizable donation and it’s all proceeds from 1504 Bath Rd our Dream Home draw.”

613Another $20,000 has also already been donat546-4248 ed to the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Kingston (SVDP). Butler says the Kinsmen were first made www.wardsmarine.ca aware of this cause when he visited the organization personally several years ago. SVDP helps the neediest members of our society by offering a hot meal program daily; it also features a warehouse and emergency food pantry for those in need of clothing, food and other necessities.

“I visited St. Vincent de Paul and observed their action and frankly I said at the time that I’d *XP Sales Event offers valid 3/1/14 to 4/30/14, see dealer for details.

Four years ago, Kinsmen made a $25,000 donation to SVDP. In that case, as with the current donation, the money was intended to support the organization in the best way they deem fit.

“Normally when we go into a group [we tell them what we want the donation to be used for],” Butler says. “For example with CNIB we said ‘we want to help your kids’. But in this case, because the quality of work that St. Vincent de Paul does on a highly limited budget, we weren’t going to give them any constraints.”

If Dream Home tickets sell out, Butler estimates that about $250,000 will be raised to distribute to charities throughout Southeastern Ontario.

And there’s still time to pick up your tickets – assuming they haven’t already sold out. They will be sold April 4, 5 and 6 at the Kingston Home Show, to be presented at the Cataraqui Sports Complex, located at Sydenham Road and the 401.

The draw will be held on Sunday, April 6 at the Home Show at 4:45 p.m.

“We had a very good draw last year that did sell out,” Butler says. “The last tickets were sold at the Kingston Home Show and I think it was around 2:45 in the afternoon, so two hours before the draw.”

Tickets can also be purchased at local financial institutions, select retail outlets or by calling 1-800-461-1546. For more information, visit www.kinsmendreamhome.com.

I am a very quiet, sleek boy. I love attention and head rubs. I was found with another cat, and I guess I could get along with another one. I have never been around dogs before, but I am a very easy going kind of guy. I was found hiding outside, shivering under a pile of debris by a dumpster. I’m looking for a nice warm home with a good window to perch in.

6 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Officials are remaining tight-lipped about the sudden departure of the City of Kingston’s chief planner, Grant Bain.

“I can’t say anything about Grant.

Sorry. He’s no longer with the corporation,” said community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle, who now oversees the planning department.

Bain was hired as Kingston’s director of planning and development in 2011, leaving a similar position in Prince George, British Columbia.

Barely three years into his job, Bain left the city’s employment earlier this year, but no one is saying why.

“He’s gone. That’s the only thing I was told,” said Coun. Kevin George, former chair of the planning committee, noting councillors were given a brief e-mail about Bain’s departure in January.

Bain was responsible for several high-profile initiatives during his brief time working for the City of Kingston. Among them; implementing the Mayor’s task force on streamlining development, legalizing basement apartments, Williamsville Main Street Study with cycling lanes on Princess Street and, more recently, following council’s controversial direction to include ‘caPlace Place youyour ad in ad in EMC the Classifieds Classifieds

City Hall’s chief planner departs for unexplained reasons

As the chief planner, Bain’s signature appeared on almost every staff report to the planning committee, which has been a very active political body in recent years. In addition to deciding various land use matters - from new subdivisions to commercial applications - the committee has been trying to reform and streamline the way the planning department deals with developers and the public.

Coun. George says planning and development was placed under Hurdle’s community services portfolio during an organizational shake-up last year, and he praised her efforts to move ahead with the mayor’s task force recommendations. “She’s looking at making sure that a lot of the recommendations that came out of the mayor’s task force are moving forward.”

However, Coun. George did not know whether the task force’s outcome was connected to Bain’s departure. “I have no idea what it’s tied to.”

The top planning role is now be handled by acting planning director Sheldon Laidman until Bain’s replacement is found, according to Hurdle.

“We will be posting the position in the next little while, so we’re working on that.”

In Our Opinion

The silent killer

It’s hard to let go of stuff Mandy Marciniak Reporter mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Editorial - About a month ago I wrote about the difficulty I was having with my parents putting their house up for sale.

Now, one month later, the house has sold. Actually, it sold two and a half weeks after going on the market.

It shocked all of us, including my parents who had yet to find a new place to move to. But now, after everything has sunk in and my parents have found a new house, comes the hard part – packing.

Anyone who has moved before knows exactly what I mean. Packing up your life is never fun and for my parents, who lived in our house for nearly 30 years, it is certainly not fun at all. I know that 30 years is a long time, but my parents are also pack rats. They have so much stuff!

I went home a few weeks ago to help them with some of it, but we didn’t even know where to start. I ended up turning my attention to my room and focusing on purging a bunch of the things I don’t need or want to keep. This became far more difficult than I initially expected.

I’m totally fine with purging clothing a the end of each season or getting rid of makeup that I’ve accumulated but is now old and should be thrown out, but when it comes to memorabilia from different times in my life, I find it very hard to let go.

As I went through my room I found old photo albums, yearbooks, CDs, notebooks from high school and university and old diaries.

These items literally tell the story of me and I find it very difficult to part with them, but then the question of where do I fit them into my current life comes up.

My parents are downsizing and will no longer have a ton of space to store all of my old stuff so I really

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

West Carleton Review

need to purge some it and keep only the essentials. After spending a day being nostalgic, reading through old notebooks and listening to old CDs, I decided it was time to let go.

I recycled all of my old notebooks and took all of my old CDs to Value Village (one of the only places that would take them now because they are so outdated).

I of course kept the photo albums and yearbooks, but I was very selective with both. I know that I will accumulate many more personal items in the years to come and I will have to go through all of them when Korey and I buy a house and settle down somewhere. It is hard not to accumulate a bunch of items over the course of your life and it is certainly hard to figure out which ones are worth keeping.

I know that my parents have quite the challenge ahead of them and I for one am not looking forward to purging more items, but I guess it’s kind of like spring cleaning and starting fresh. I just hope that they see it this way too.

8 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

Editorial – The death of three members of a Brampton family last month sadly underscores the dangers of carbon monoxide and the need for working alarms.

When their furnace quit working, the family opted to use propane heaters to heat the home during the recent chilly conditions. While five members suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, three were pronounced dead and the other two were treated. Poisoning by the gas was also blamed for deaths in the pre-holiday ice storm across the province.

In this case, the family had working carbon monoxide detectors, which had activated when another family member came home, but Brampton Fire and Emergency Services warned that propane heaters should never be used indoors.

The gas is invisible, odourless and colourless which makes it all the more important to have detectors. According to Statistics Canada, there were a total of 380 accidental deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning in the country between 2000 and 2009.

To cut down on the risks of carbon monoxide, the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs recommends that people place detectors in their home, located outside every sleeping area and ensure that fuel-burning appliances (furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, etc.) are regularly maintained and the ventilation is checked. Often obstruction by snow and leaves can occur. Never bring an outdoor heater, generator or barbecue indoors when the power is off or your heat source quits as most are designed to stay outside and aren’t properly ventilated.

If you think your home does have a carbon monoxide leak, exit as soon as possible. Symptoms to look for include: headaches, feeling tired or short of breath, impairment of motor functions, and at prolonged exposure, chest pain, dizziness and having trouble thinking.

Following a few simple tips can give you and your family peace of mind and the tools to know what to do should you encounter such a situation.

Have something to say? Something on your mind?

Meistersingers invite you to a grand night of singing

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Events – Who doesn’t love a classic Broadway song? Well how about an entire evening of them? That is exactly what audience members will get if they attend the Kingston Meistersingers annual cabaret fundraiser entitled ‘A Grand Night for Singing: An evening of Meistertainment.’

This year’s show is being produced by members Jennifer Turner, Nicole Perera and Adrian Deveau and features a number of classic broadways tunes.

“It’s a cabaret type night and it’s great entertainment,” added Perera.

“We think we have a really great song list this year and it’s a lot of fun because we can mix up the style a bit and perform pieces from a variety of different shows.”

This year marks the fourth year for the annual fundraiser and Meistersingers’ president, Liane Penny, emphasizes the importance of raising funds for the groups annual show.

“We hope each year to raise about $3,000. I think what the general public doesn’t realize is how much it actually costs to put on a musical. The $3,000 doesn’t cover very much for us,” explained Penny. “We spend a lot of money in rent for the venue, but also in paying for the rights of whatever production we choose to do, so having a charity night really helps us with that cost.”

This year’s event will be much more than just a show. The group has arranged for gourmet appetizers to be served throughout the evening, a cash bar, numerous silent auction items and a cake raffle.

“It is a really great evening and there is something for everyone. We have a

variety of songs that will be performed.

There will also be great food and amazing auction items,” added Penny.

The Meistersingers have been performing in Kingston since 1968 and are now in their 46th season, a testament to the loyalty and camaraderie that comes along with the group. Penny and her family started performing with group six years ago and she urges other families to get involved too.

“We have members from the ages of eight to 88 and anyone that is interested in participating in musical theatre can be a part of our group,” added Penny.

“There is a real family community feel about the Meistersingers and now my daughters are both involved with it too and we’ve all been in shows together. It is really nice to take the stage with your own kids.”

For producer Jennifer Turner, the evening and the annual show are really just about having fun and gathering with her fellow Meistersingers.

“We all love music and we love performing so when you are with people that also love it, it is so much fun,” explained Turner.

While this year’s production, typically performed in the fall, has yet to be selected, Penny hopes that they will be able to announce the selection at the fundraising event.

“It is just another reason for people to come out and see our show. They are sure to have a great time and they will get the inside scoop on what’s to come.”

A Grand Night for Singing: An evening of Meistertainment is taking place on April 12 at Memorial Hall at 6:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door $25 Adults, $15 Students/Seniors.

Children 12 and under are free.

Letters to the editor

$

tion that plans to the minute and wrote the book on public relations. Nevertheless, if that was the SLPC’s understanding, it should have immediately rallied the resources to fund the trip. They had, after all, just spent $750,000 on projection technology to “revitalize” the Sunset Ceremonies. Furthermore, beginning in 1995, the Marines responded to the SLPC’s own budgetary issues by travelling to Kingston 13 times. For the same period, the Guard travelled to Washington once. If this imbalance and their own skewed priorities escaped the attention of the SLPC, they certainly would not have been missed by the Marines.

Neither Parks Canada nor Kingston’s heritage community appear willing to challenge the SLPC’s obsession with change. Meanwhile, tourism and business partners seize any opportunity to celebrate the “rebranding” of Fort Henry; apparently oblivious to a substantial heritage market or even the importance of the Marine/ Guard relationship to our identity and economy.

Reporting of a Chamber of Commerce award for the fort’s new projection technology boasted that the enhanced Sunset Ceremonies, “entertained more than 11,000 visitors in 2013 alone.”

That’s roughly what the joint performances consistently drew on Marine Weekend.

There are no plans to mark this year’s 60th anniversary of the Guard/ Marine relationship.

The one day appearance of Parliament Hill’s Ceremonial Guard, shamelessly marketed as a ‘world famous joint performance’, signals the end of an era. The Fort Henry Guard has undoubtedly paraded for the last time at Marine Barracks and its relevance as a cultural institution has been hugely diminished. No amount of deception and colossal speak can repair the damage. In Canada’s First Capital, we should be deeply embarrassed.

Dear editor, In 1989, after 50 years, Old Fort Henry was renamed Fort Henry by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, the provincial agency responsible for operations. Twenty-five years later, in spite of a $40 million restoration and World Heritage affiliation, Fort Henry bears little resemblance to the “marvelous reproduction of 19th century military life” promised on its website. Visitors no longer arrive at the Advanced Battery; instead they enter The Trade Square, “Kingston’s newest shopping district”, with the opportunity to dine at the city’s “largest waterfront patio deck.”

All tours and education programs are suspended for almost a third of the fort’s season as Fort Fright runs its course. Meanwhile millions in public funding has been secured for 21st century entertainment technology yet donations to protect “one-of-a-kind objects” are solicited online.

Without question, revenue generation emerged as a legitimate concern in the 1990s. Provincial cutbacks were compounded by an expanding global tourism, unstable economy, high oil prices, the value of the dollar, and federal/provincial wrangling. A massive restoration was cause for optimism but the disruption complicated programming well into the new millennium and attendance fell. Old Fort Henry consistently drew more than 180,000 annually. In 2011, the last year for which numbers are available, admissions totalled 101,900. But SLPC policy may have far more to do with the decline than external factors.

The debut of Fort Fright just a year after Fort Henry’s 2007 World Heritage affiliation was bewildering. Not surprisingly, the anticipated surge in visitation never materialized; in fact, attendance has steadily decreased and we are left to speculate on ‘what might have been’ had the UNESCO distinction been handled differently. So too might we wonder about the site’s popularity had the Fort Henry Guard’s significance been recognized.

For half a century, the Fort Henry Guard’s role as ambassadors drew attention to Old Fort Henry and Kingston. Its distinguished resume included successes at Britain’s Royal Tournament, a feature role at Expo ’67 and appearances at functions across Ontario and the States. But more than anything else, their affiliation with the U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon and Drum and Bugle Corps is most cherished. The two units first paraded together in 1954 to commemorate the Ogdensburg defence agreement. Annual joint performances alternating between Washington and Kingston cemented the bond between the two institutions and strengthened the Guard.

In 2013, the fort’s 75th anniversary, the Marines failed to travel to Kingston as expected; or at least as the SLPC had hoped. The Commission’s explanation that the Marines cancelled on short notice because they lacked funding is entirely out of character for an organiza-

Fire & rescue services on Frontenac Islands’ agenda

By Margaret Knott

EMC news- Frontenac Islands Council passed a standard bylaw to regulate the Township’s Fire and Rescue Services at the March regular meeting. Not unusual, but a first for the township. What is unusual is the make up of the of the Township itself, comprised of two islands, Howe and Wolfe, and their populations of 400 and 1400 respectively, separated by two ferries and over twenty kilometres of highway. Each has a Fire Station.

Each has a service, fire on Wolfe and fire and rescue on Howe. The Howe Island Service established in 1977, is also classified as a Certified Emergency Response Team under the authority of the Ontario Ministry of Health, and is able to provide rapid response and offer some medical assistance. (Howe Island does not have a Volunteer Para Medic Service locally, as does Wolfe Island.)

The regulating bylaw, as passed is a consolidated Frontenac Islands bylaw setting parameters for the emergency services they can provide. Councillors Natalie Nossal

and Councillor Wayne Grant, Fire Chiefs Mike Quinn (Howe) and Tim Hawkins (Wolfe), both in attendance at the meeting, will serve on a joint Committee of Council.

Regarding the Fire Chiefs’ report on radio frequency, presented to council, the question was “Is the issue of radio frequency critical?”

To which Chief Quinn replied that present equipment was now programmed with frequency authorized by former Pittsburgh Township to Howe, initially for use to alert firefighters over that frequency, then broadened to include Wolfe Island.

“Originally we alerted firefighters by phone or by siren on the WI Fire Hall. Pagers, mobile radios were programmed with the frequency.”

Quinn said that with amalgamation the frequency was absorbed by Kingston but the licensing agreement was not renewed. Realizing the problem, chiefs Quinn& Hawkins have been working with Industry Canada to obtain a frequency of its own for the township, as noted in a report to council.

Industry Canada authorized the Fire Services to continue with business as usual, in the short term, and

as of January 2014 they have been granted a new frequency. The issue now is to bring back a technician to test the present equipment, to determine what is programmable or not, digital versus crystal, replacement costs, yearly (frequency) licensing costs and if approved by council, be ready when Industry Canada says it is time to immediately move over to the new frequency. “This is really about Frontenac Islands here and now, how we go forward, how we communicate in the future, ” Quinn said. “This is not about the frightening county wide communications discussion. We looked at the county project as an opportunity, but if it doesn’t fly we have to deal with our own problems.”

Chief Quinn and Chief Hawkins were authorized to further participate in information sessions offered by the Fire Chiefs, Joint Fire Committee etc., regarding the Frontenac county Communications Study.

Frontenac Islands is in the midst of budget deliberations, so many of the questions following the discussion referred to costs, equipment longevity, further infrastruc-

Manicures: maintaining healthy, soft hands It is always nice to treat yourself to a manicure, but did you know that manicures provide real benefits to the overall health of your hands and nails? Manicures are relaxing and can help you destress at the end of long day; however, you also greatly benefit not just from doing something relaxing but by maintaining a healthy hand and nail care routine.

The origins of the word manicure are in fact rooted in personal care. The French word originates from two Latin words: manus meaning hands, and cura meaning care. There is certainly more to a manicure than simply nail polish.

Your hands taking a beating day in and day out. They are constantly exposed to the elements, and are always on constant view. In winter your skin and nails can become dry and brittle, and in summer nails can grow quickly and hands generally require more cleaning as a result of you always being outside. It’s important to maintain a proper care routine to help your hands stay looking and feeling healthy and soft.

A manicure generally takes between 30 to 40 minutes. A regular care routine means that you will have help treating

any sores, broken skin or nails, and have assistance preventing or caring for hang nails.

During a manicure you can expect a trained esthetician will begin by removing any remaining nail polish and cleaning your fingernails. Your hands will be soaked in a soothing water based solution, which further helps to cleanse and relax your hands. The esthetician will assess and shape your nails. He or she will cut, file, push back your cuticles and remove any dead or problem skin and hang nails. Once your nails have been thoroughly cleaned, trimmed and shaped, your esthetician will likely apply moisturizer and gently massage your hand and forearm. Once your nails are buffed and hands cleaned and moisturized, you may decide if you’d like your esthetician to apply nail polish.

Overall your hands and nails will feel the difference and thank you for it.

AECOM’s Guy Laporte presented his 20 th annual Wolfe Island Waste Disposal site report, commenting that he had presented his first in 1994. Laporte noted that many changes had taken place particularly over the last few years, adding that “it is such a good dump I built a house on the island,” he said. He did say that there had been problems with covering the site often enough but that too has improved, looking better than it ever did. Mayor Doyle said, “with the time left, we can make up for past sins.”

Twenty thousand five hundred vehicles visited the site in 2013, averaging 25 visits per household and those using the recycling facility remained as in 2012 at 89%.

Based on capacity the waste site it will close in six years (2020), at $155,000 (estimated) and a $8,500 yearly post closure monitoring cost.

Golder Associates Caitlin presented their report on the groundwater and surface water monitoring program, recommending a continuation of it into 2014. There were

some difficulties, and negotiations are on going for bit of extra land.

“The site is doing okay right now,” she said. We will continue working with AECOM to resolve any difficulties. The question becomes what do we do in six years? Truck it Off? If so, where to?

Manage your diabetes using a natural diet and exercise Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects Canadians young and old. For many people, diabetes is brought about by the combination of age, lifestyle and diet. As people get older they can acquire what is known as “adult onset diabetes,” or Type 2 Diabetes, which is often the result of a bad diet and inactivity.

For these people, their diabetes is usually controlled through a combination of diet, exercise and nutritional supplements. Through major changes these people can rid themselves entirely of diabetes, and, at the very least, they can manage it affectively by taking steps to adjust their eating and lifestyle habits.

The Nova Health Naturopathic Centre based in Kingston, Ontario specializes in diabetes management. Using natural therapies, the clinic helps patients to lessen the impact of diabetes on their daily lives through a combination of diet and exercise. Under the supervision of Dr. Kimberly Oxbro, patients of The Nova Health Naturopathic Centre learn effec-

tive steps to take in order to reduce the symptoms of diabetes, and, in some cases, reverse the disease. In fact, studies show that diabetics who change their lifestyle under medical supervision have a 58 per cent reduction in the rate of diabetes. Dr. Oxbro also shows patients which herbs to take to help regulate their blood sugar levels and also how to decrease, and possibly eliminate, the need for harmful medication through diet and lifestyle changes.

People who are struggling to successfully manage their diabetes should contact the Nova Health Naturopathic Centre in downtown Kingston. Using natural therapies and being medically supervised can dramatically improve the impact that diabetes is having on your life. To learn more about how to control diabetes affectively, please contact The Nova Health Naturopathic Centre by telephone at 613 546-9995, or check out the clinic online at: www.novahealthnaturopathic.com R0012624217

CBC’s Shelagh Rogers receives Queen’s Alumni Humanitarian Award Heritage Events – For CBC radio personality Shelagh Rogers, being called a humanitarian is not something she thinks about. Instead, Rogers sees the work she does as something that any concerned person should do.

“I don’t really think of myself as a humanitarian, but I am very concerned about a couple of issues in particular in this country and I feel like if I don’t do something about them I get very itchy,” explained Rogers.

The issues, for Rogers, are mental health awareness and reconciliation between aboriginals and non-aboriginals in Canada. She has been speaking about both of these issues for a number of years and now, Rogers is being recognized by the Queen’s Alumni Association with a Humanitarian award on April 5. Her initial response to the award was shock, but she couldn’t be happier to be receiving it.

“It just blows my mind. I just think of people who are out doing things in a very concentrated and major effort and I am thrilled and honoured to receive the award, but I am also totally surprised. I think what I am doing, what I see myself doing anyway, is what any citizen should do. I feel like what I’m really doing is acting like a citizen and if there are awards for that then bring it on.”

Rogers graduated from Queen’s in 1977 and started her broadcasting career at CFRC. She looks back on her time at Queen’s fondly and is excited to return to the city for the awards ceremony.

“It has taken me a long time to get back to Kingston and I am really excited to come back for this award,” said Rogers. “Without the experiences I had at Queen’s as a student I wouldn’t be doing what I am doing now. As a student, I felt [that if I felt] an urgency about an issue I could act on it and there was every opportunity to do that and that is something I have continued to do in the rest of my life.”

Rogers now speaks at universities, colleges, churches, corporate events and community centres about mental health, something that wasn’t easy for her initially, but something she urges more people to talk about.

“I also speak about workplace health and how it is more than just physical safety, it is mental safety too. It has been really interesting and the more I speak about this issue, the more I am convinced that if we don’t start looking at mental illness as an illness we are in trouble. We really need to take the

stigma out of it and we need to work towards making it fully accepted.”

Rogers’ other passion is the issue of reconciliation amongst aboriginals and non-aboriginals in Canada, or as she sees it, Canada’s mental health as a country. For the past three years, Rogers has been working tirelessly to raise awareness about this issue and she really hopes that more Canadians wake up and take notice.

“It has had terribly far-reaching effects and it think we have to work very hard to build a new partnership between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people and that is really what is consuming me right now.”

Rogers also added that Canada’s future hangs in the balance of whether or not we can mend these relationships.

“I think it will become really clear that if we don’t start building relationships, we aren’t going to be building pipelines. You can’t just go in and say this is what we want to do without establishing a relationship. I think this is really important for the country moving forward and also for the conscience of the country.”

Rogers will receive the Queen’s Alumni Association Humanitarian Award on April 5 at the awards gala.

Seeding a Summer Garden

By Kate Kristiansen

Up in My Grill - Are you dreaming of a summer vegetable garden?

In the past, I’ve had mixed success with gardening, but this year I’ve committed to getting it right!

Gardening provides people with fresh, nutritious fruits, herbs and vegetables. Growing your own garden can be a very rewarding experience. Gardens provide those on low incomes with the opportunity to grow organic food, which is often expensive in retail stores. A garden also allows those concerned about the environmental impacts of food, to have control over the food they eat.

My vision is of neat rows of vegetables, with a bountiful harvest, filling baskets with fresh food. I’ve devised some useful tips to help me with my planting goals this year. I am sharing them in an effort to help you do the same.

1. Plan ahead.

Most keen gardeners begin careful planning in January, plotting out what seeds to buy, indoor preparation of plants, and purchasing soil and materials to get started. Make a list of vegetables you purchase from the grocery store to determine what you’d like to plant.

Don’t forget to consider how much time it will take to maintain your

garden. If you have a small space or an apartment you could consider a container garden located just outside the door or even inside by a window. For me, I have loads of space, but little time to maintain a large garden. My plans are to build a raised garden, which I will manage better.

2. Think small.

One of my past mistakes was over planting in a large space. In order to enjoy a garden, you must be able to maintain and control it.

Don’t be too ambitious.

3. Choose plants that require little effort but are big producers.

Determine what kind of soil you need and how fast things grow. For example, zucchini grow like wildfire; one hill is probably enough for a small family.

4. Share with others.

Whether it’s seeds, equipment or your harvest. It’s cost effective and rewarding to support each other. In fact, why not grow an extra row and donate the food to Loving Spoonful. Each year this Kingston based charity organizes a “Grow A Row” campaign where you can drop off your surplus fresh healthy food at key sites around the city.

For more information visit: lovingsoonful.org 5. Ask for advice.

It’s important to research and

glean as much information as you can about gardening in your community. Ask farmers or friends and relatives to share their experiences on what works and how to prepare.

6. Choose a good site.

Build your garden in sunshine and in good soil. Ensure ease of access to taps or rain barrels to keep garden watered. You can change the soil quality by adding nutrients and top layers to benefit the effectiveness of your growing crop.

Some plants grow better when they are next to each other. Companion planting is also a good way to keep your plants healthy and even keep insects away.

No room for a garden? Get involved in a local community garden. Community gardens play an important role in helping people to eat well. They are generally maintained by their members and still offer a great way to access fresh food. For more information visit lovingspoonful.org to explore the network of community gardens in your area.

This year is going to be different. I am excited about the growing season, however short it may be.

If you have a foodie biz or a local restaurant for me to visit please email me at ladydinesalot@gmail. com or follow me on Facebook or my blog Ladydinesalot.com.

Community rallies behind animals in need

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - Deer may not be the first animals that come to mind when one thinks of pets, but for Allan Park and Jane McDonald, the five remaining bucks at the Fallow Deer Reserve in Harrowsmith are like family.

“I’ve spent so much time here and so much time around these deer,” Park says.

“I’ve come to appreciate them as beautiful animals. We have names for each and every one of them [based on each individual personality].”

The reserve was formed in 2005 by Don Murphy and Wendy Workman, when it came to their attention that a farmer in Odessa could no longer adequately care for his herd of over 100 deer due to failing health. Thanks to generous donations from the community, Murphy and Workman were able to purchase the deer from the farmer for $4,000 and find a home for nearly 90 does and fawns at Omega Park in Montebello, Quebec.

This left 13 bucks without a home, however, and Park and McDonald began searching for a solution. Eventually, they purchased 10 acres of land not far from the farm; with financial and manual assistance from the community, an eight foot high fence was then erected around the site, which contains a barn as well as a forested area, giving the deer a large, safe environment in which to roam and play.

The term “fallow” deer refers to the breed, which is not native to Canada.

“They’re native to the Middle East and the Mediterranean area,” McDonald explains. “They were brought to North America in the late 1800s and they definitely would not survive the winter without water and hay and food. They can’t really

be released into the wild anyway because they’re considered exotic.”

In the wild, fallow deer are one of the few kinds of deer where males tend to live in a bachelor group when it’s not mating season, making the reserve a good fit for this group of bucks.

“These guys hanging out together the way they do, it’s not anything abnormal,” Park notes.

Still, this past winter, which is fast becoming infamous for its severity, has been hard on the deer. Three bucks, Max, Bash and Buddy, passed away in the last three months due to the harsh weather conditions and, in Buddy’s case, a tooth infection from which he was unable to recover.

“We found him on the ground one morning in the snow and we got him up and he seemed to be okay but then he got an infection in his eye,” McDonald says. “We were treating him with antibiotics and we had him in the barn separate from the others because he was being bullied by them. We were really sure we could save Buddy but unfortunately one morning he just couldn’t stand up. That was the morning that we decided to [euthanize him]. That was a tough one because we really did think we would be able to save him.”

And the vet bills weren’t cheap. For the first time in the history of the Fallow Deer Reserve, the non-profit board that runs it made the decision to put a call out for donations. Thankfully, the community came through for the deer – and then some.

“Once again, the community lobbied around the deer and we were able to exceed what we were asking for,” Park says, explaining that while only $1,000 was immediately required, a total of $2,000 was raised.

Now, only five deer are left: Mike, Murph, Moki, Spike and Egee (meaning

E.G. for “easy going”). Park notes that that extra $1,000 is sure to come in handy over the coming months and years.

“What we do know is that as the deer age, the vet bills will increase,” he says.

“And our intentions are to meet their needs rather than euthanize them just because a deer is having a little bit of a hard go.”

Indeed, he notes that he and Jane have become quite attached to the deer over the years.

“When we started out we virtually knew nothing about them, and they’ve educated us as much as any of the reading and stuff I’ve done on them.”

Members of the public are welcome to come visit the Fallow Deer Reserve, the best time of year to do so being between May and September. To learn more about the reserve, or to donate money to it, visit www.fallowdeerreserve.org.

Location for east-end community centre focuses on Greenwood Park

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – The search is underway for suitable land to build a new community centre to serve the fast growing population of Kingston’s east end.

But the price tag could be hefty, according to a new report to city council.

After months of study and public input, city officials concluded the preferred option is to acquire land and construct a community-based facility in the Greenwood Park area, rather than try to refurbish an existing building.

“This option has an estimated cost between $9 million and $12 million,” according to the April 1 report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle.

Her report, which was expected to get council’s endorsement, would launch a further public consultation process and site selection search in the Greenwood Park area with the findings to be unveiled by the end of the year, likely putting the community centre’s fate and funding in the hands of the next council.

The report also eliminates any municipal interest in acquiring the 50-year-old old J.E. Horton Public School in Barriefield for a community centre.

Officials say the cost to purchase and renovate the mothballed school would range from $8 million to $12.6 million. “It is important to note that this is an estimate and that as per the City’s recent experiences; the cost could be higher as there are unknowns in the renovation of older facilities,” warned

Hurdle.

The price tag to raze the school building and construct a community centre on the site is even greater, ranging from $12.7 million to $15.3 million, officials estimate.

Aside from the uncertain costs of renovating an old school for community uses, officials point out that its location near Highway 15 and Highway 2 is too remote for many of the people who would use it.

They say if the city is going to invest big bucks in creating a community hub for Pittsburgh District then it should be closer to the population base in Greenwood Park.

“Considering the potential cost of this project, city staff believe that the facility should be located closer to the higher residential densities, have direct transit access, be fully accessible and be purpose built to accommodate as many programs as possible,” Hurdle wrote.

The construction of a new community centre was identified as a ‘top 5‘ priority of east end residents during recent Town Hall meetings hosted by councillors.

Kingston has not included any money in current or future budgets to construct the community centre, but Hurdle’s recommendation would ensure that tax funding is worked into future budgets. Some of the

financing would also come from development charges and potential community partnerships.

The $9 million to $12 million land acquisition and building construction price range is based on what the city is currently investing in the Rideau Heights community centre project, and does not include ongoing operational costs.

It’s estimated the city will need to purchase two acres of land for a 17,000 square foot multi-purpose community centre that can serve a wide range of programs for seniors and youth.

There is no timeline yet to begin work on the Pittsburgh community building, which will serve an estimated 8,500 residents who now live east of the Cataraqui River.

Pittsburgh District’s population has exploded in recent years; 716 residential units were built from 2009 to 2013, and there are planned subdivisions such as 352 units on the Highway 15 waterfront, 30 units at River’s Edge phase 2 and 46 units at Baxter Farm North.

City staff admit the city’s east end has limited access to recreation, leisure and community services, except for those offered in John Machin Park, Grass Creek Park and Grenadier Park.

New school to be built in Kingston Continued from page 1

R0012619027

City Councillor Jim Neill has been very vocal about his disagreement with the Memorial Centre as a potential site.

“The City has spent upward of $15 million to rejuvenate Memorial Centre Park as a community park space in an area of the city that is identified as being underserved in parklands, with little or no opportunity for future park growth,” Neill said. “It is also well used, and the site of our Memorial Gardens and Wall honouring our vets. I’m not convinced that a school on that site would be supportive of those uses.”

In June 2013, a motion at Kingston City Council passed by a 9-3 vote to say no to a school on the Memorial Centre grounds, but the school board has the power to build it anyway. Now, the question is will they do so?

“We know that city council did not approve the Memorial Centre as a site location when we were in the process, but that decision was

NOW AT 613-544-6110 www.canex.ca

made mid-process and city council decided to provide us with their decision,” added French. “I think, and I can only speak personally, that we want to ensure that the new location is equidistance for as many of the students as possible so that is what we are looking for. Clearly there was interest in the Memorial Centre early in the process, but the trustees have not determined that any action would be forthcoming at this time.”

One thing is for sure, many Kingstonians are not happy about the school closures and point to the fact that the $35 million would have done a lot to renovate and improve the current schools.

Davidson sees a trend throughout Ontario of closing older schools to open newer ones, but she had hoped that Kingston would not become part of that trend.

“This same phenomenon has happened in multiple other Ontario cities including Hamilton, Cobourg, Peterborough, London, Sudbury and North

Bay. There is a central mandate, I think, to close buildings to make bigger schools and to accept that large schools are a way of life and bussing is a way of life. Community schools are clearly not an option.”

While French acknowledges that the closing of schools is never easy, she hopes that parents and community members who fought against the decision will now turn their attention to making the new school a great environment.

“We completely recognize that there are people who are on both sides of this decision.

We have been honoured to have so many parents, students and community members involved in the process. What I would suggest now and hope for is that all of those folks who dedicated so much energy to this process, come join us and be a part of planning for the future and the very exciting new school that we have to look forward to.”

Sweet delights in Perth

By Mark Bergin Columnist

Daytripper - The best thing about winter is that it’s followed by spring, and nothing marks the coming of better weather like maple syrup. Sap must be an intelligent substance, because it won’t start to flow until things start to thaw.

You can enjoy a sweet celebration of spring in Perth on April 26 during the town’s 38th Annual Festival of the Maples. It’s the day that the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce proudly proclaims Lanark County as the maple syrup capital of Ontario. “Every year it’s held on Gore Street, Perth’s main street and along the side streets,� said Jennifer Perkin, the Festival Coordinator. “There’s something for everyone.�

The Festival of Maples was first known as The Spring Festival of the Maples. It was spearheaded by Vic Lemieux as an event to get people outside after a long winter hibernation.

Perth is one of Canada’s loveliest little towns. I can’t think of a better time to visit than a day when maple syrup reigns.

Festival of the Maples features a children’s area by the Crystal Palace on Tay Basin. “There will be lots of activities and live performances for children,� said Perin. “There will be music, bouncy rides and rock climbing as well as a petting zoo and an area to watch sheep arch 19, shearing.�

2014 She explained that there will be 00 Islands 130 Docks vendors and displays on the main street, which will feature everything from antique cars and crafts to many of 496 the area’s maple syrup producers.

On Harriett Street, you’ll find the main stage with live entertainment all day.

Maple products will range from maple syrup and maple sugar to maple taffy (tire d’Êrable), which is created by pouring boiled sap onto snow. “We’ll have pretty well everything you can imagine made from maple,â€? said Perkin.

New novel hopes to encourage teens to read

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – According to author Sarah Yi-Mei Tsiang, reading should always be exciting and fun, so when it came time for her next project, Tsiang, who typically writes poetry and picture books, decided to take on the task of writing a fun, exciting, fastpaced young adult novel.

“It’s called Breathing Fire and it is a book that was done with a publisher called Orca Soundings.

They do books for reluctant readers,” explained Tsiang at her book launch on March 24. “They focus on teenagers who aren’t really the type to just pick up a book and read. The stories are really fast paced and full of action and high conflict to keep their attention.”

Tsiang launched the book with the help of Pathways to Education in Kingston, who volunteered the space and agreed to bring their afternoon youth groups to a reading of the novel. Tsiang was happy for the partnership and was reminded of her days volunteering with the group.

“A lot of the work Pathways does is based on literacy and getting kids into reading, sometimes for the first time in their lives,” added Tsiang. “We thought it would be fun to bring a literary event like a book launch to a community that isn’t normally plugged into the literary scene and kind of expose them to something new and fun.”

Tsiang definitely had Pathways in mind when she wrote the novel and her love for the young adult genre grew as she was writing too.

“One of the reasons that I love young adult fiction is that there is no existential angst about feelings.

They are angsty in different ways and I think with young adults, every decision kind of feels like life or death. They have really important concerns and those come through in this novel.”

The novel centres around the character of Ally. She lives with her mother who is suffering from depression and one day Ally receives the news that her mother has died. She was hit by a bus, but Ally is unsure whether it was an accident or suicide. Because of the situation, Ally ends up in foster care, but one night she sneaks away and discovers a young boy named Tate and the world of busking.

“She learns a lot about herself and what she is capable of and she also learns when to ask for help and that maybe she can’t do it all on her own,” explained Tsiang.

While this was Tsiang’s first venture into YA fiction, she hopes to continue writing more in the future. Her main goal is to keep writing strong female characters, something she loves seeing more of in books today.

“There has been a swell of female characters in the young adult genre over the past few years and that is so great to see. When I was

growing up, there were books about strong female protagonists, but not a lot of them. Now that my daughter is nine, it has been so easy to find all of these great female heroes for her to look up to. There are so many of them in so many different genres and I think that really helps her believe

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

A thoughtful cinephile’s art house “To me cinema isn’t a slice of life; it’s a piece of cake” —Hitchcock.

That quote is on the menu board of The Screening Room, Kingston’s downtown independent movie theatre located upstairs at 120 Princess Street.

It sums up cinephile Wendy Huot’s view of her career.

Huot didn’t plan to own a cinema, but when the opportunity arose, she jumped.

She says she grew up as an introverted kid who liked to collect things. Lego. Porcelain dolls. Stuffed dogs. Decorative soaps.

Now, she laughs as she says that as a teen she moved to collecting the experience of watching movies.

“I always enjoyed movies,” she says. “But as a teen, it became an overriding interest.”

She describes going to movies as an event that’s unequalled. Her earliest film memories focus more on the experience than the content.

“The first movie I saw was Hans Christian Andersen, the Danny Kaye film,” she says. “I remember the atmosphere of the dark room. It did something to the imagination. I’ve liked Danny Kaye ever since. The other early film I saw was Little Mermaid, which was also Hans Christian Andersen.”

She says that the experience of seeing a movie in a cinema can be powerful or just fun.

“Going to a movie is very democratic,” she says.

“You don’t have to belong to a particular social milieu to gain access. Going to a movie can be life-changing and give you new perspective or it can be a completely immersive escape. You might have a very powerful experience or just go for fun. I especially like being in another city and going to see a movie by myself. “ Huot graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. She then completed a Master’s degree in Library and Information Studies.

She’s worked as a web programmer and in 2006 she became the web development librarian at the Queen’s University Library. That brought her from British Columbia to Kingston. She stayed with Queen’s until 2011.

“I didn’t know anyone in Ontario when I moved here,” she says. “Even when I came for the job interview, I checked to see if there was something like The Screening Room in Kingston. When I realized there was, I knew I could live here.”

While working at Queen’s, on her own time she ran a small underground film series called Cameo Cinema. She used spaces like Artel for showings. The idea of opening a single-screen movie-watching space whirled in her mind.

“I love watching classic films,” she says. “I was making rough plans and exploring the idea. Then one day I found out the screening room was for sale. I thought, ‘oh my gosh, this is what I want to do. I have to buy it.’ I had a grim determination to see if I could do it.”

She said that on some level, she didn’t think it would work out. But it did. She ended up with keys in hand for The Screening Room. The previous owner showed her the ropes.

“It felt good,” she says. “I felt a sense of purpose.

There really wasn’t too much hemming and hawing.

I wasn’t weighing the pros and cons. When the opportunity arose, there was no choice, I was going for it.

It’s all worked out. I’m really happy and the theatre is flourishing.”

She watches as new people discover The Screening Room all the time. There’ s a good energy surrounding this theatre. She says there is a spiritual communal quality of coming together for the deeper experience of watching a film.

“Even though in the 21st century with things like Netflix and downloads it’s not an overall fantastic time to be in the movie theatre business, but it’s a very good time for The Screening Room.”

It is now the only cinema serving downtown audiences. Huot noted that having digital projectors allows The Screening Room to bring more movies to town closer to their release dates.

“Films can be great conversation pieces,” she says.

“This is where The Screening Room can show the with an owner who cares about customers, you can For more information: 613.542.6080; http:// kinds of movies people can really talk about, the ones order tea and it’s served in a mug. moviesinkingston.com/ that raise interesting questions. We have great success with films that have been sleeper hits.”

She says the corporate chains have movies with big box office openings, but The Screening Room can pick up films that have long-life potential after building slowly. She used Dallas Buyers Club as an example.

“It really developed momentum,” she says. “We play movies with people dealing with real problems about love, work, life and death. Our movies run the gamut from fun to head-scratching and obscure.”

In April, one of The Screening Room’s offerings will be Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises.

“Miyazaki is the grand master of animation in Japan,” says Huot. “It’s set in World War II, but it’s more about people living their lives while the war was going on all around them. The film looks completely beautiful. Even if you don’t like animation, you really have to see a Miyazaki film to see what the medium can do.”

There’s more than films at The Screening Room.

“In any given month, we also have different community groups renting all the time.”

Huot also brings in guest speakers, film festivals and guest filmmakers.

She landed a contract with London’s Royal Opera House.

“We’ve got exclusive rights in Kingston,” she says.

“This year, we’ll show ten productions. These are things you won’t be able to see anywhere else. You’ll be at the opera, with intermissions and it’s all very civil.

Anyone who loves opera will love these. And if someone is curious about opera, they might be surprised.”

Also in April, Huot is bringing in four classic HolCinephile Wendy Huot, owner of The Screening Room, has had a love for movies since lywood films.

Photo/Mark Bergin “We’re calling it ‘Family Plots and Twisted Ties,’” childhood. she says. “They are all classic Hollywood films that look at the darker side of the American Family.”

These will include Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Bigger than Life, and The Bad Seed. I was surprised to see The Bad Seed on the list; it’s a movie I love, but it’s definitely dark and a somewhat more obscure Hollywood gem.

“There are so many great scenes in that film,” she says. “But all four films have such over-the-top performances. Big acting. Melodrama.”

She says that one of the things she likes about darker movies is that they make you appreciate what you have.

“You can watch and think of things relative to yourself,” she says. “A person can think, ‘Wow, I though my family was messed up” and become more appreciative of their own life.”

In May, a special series will include concert films and movie-related events. The selection is not decided yet, but Huot is looking at things like Woodstock, Stop ...to build brand awareness Making Sense, Gimme Shelter and A Hard Day’s Night. ...to stretch marketing dollars If you haven’t been to The Screening Room in a while, there have been changes. There’s a new ...to make more money sound and projection system, and the seats have all been replaced.

“You genuinely feel like you’re in a community theatre here,” says Huot. “People bump into people they know and chat. We serve as a community gathering place in a way that a bigger theatre couldn’t pull off.”

Huot said that Kingston is a small but international city.

Athlete of the Week

Diabetes can’t slow down Holy Cross athlete

By Mark Kerr

Heritage Sports -- As an active, sportsloving 11-year-old, Mary Besselink couldn’t help but worry when she found out three years ago that she had Type 1 diabetes.

“Originally, I thought about how it would change my life. I was scared I would have to pull back from sports and vacations and change my eating habits,” says the now 15-year-old Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School student.

As she was coming to terms with the diagnosis, Besselink remembered a sports camp she attended a few years earlier.

“I noticed a girl who had diabetes playing basketball. I thought of her right away when I found out I had diabetes. ‘If she can play, well I can play too,’” she recalls.

Besselink hasn’t looked back since then. She lists basketball as her favourite sport, and she stars as both a Crusader and as a member of her Kingston Impact club team. She also plays soccer with the Cataraqui Clippers and volleyball with the CATS program. If that’s not enough, she is gearing up for the track and field season when she will compete in the 800m and high jump events.

Diabetes has not had the dramatic impact Besselink worried it would have

on her life. At the same time, though, it does take quite a bit of work managing the disease. She tests her blood sugar eight to 10 times a day to ensure her blood sugar is at a sustainable level.

She counts her carbohydrate intake so that it stays in balance with her insulin intake. She eats the same lunch nearly every day at school which makes it easier, but there are times when it’s a challenge.

“Counting carbs can be hard when you are out with friends or when you are travelling and have to eat out,” she says.

Preparing for a big game involves more than stretching for Besselink.

When she knows she is going to get a lot of exercise the next day, she will cut back on her insulin the night before so that her blood sugar is at an optimal level.

“Sometimes when I test high before the game, I can’t play my best. I feel shaky and off my game,” she says.

Besselink has used the Omnipod insulin pump since August. The tubeless system is small and discreet and doesn’t bother her at all when she is doing what she loves.

“I enjoy the competitive nature of sports,” she says. “I also like just being with friends and playing sports.”

Besselink can often be found with her friends when she is not playing sports, whether it’s hanging out at the

mall, seeing a movie or taking in a Queen’s or St. Lawrence College basketball game. If her friends aren’t on the same team, she will go and cheer them on whenever possible.

University is a few years off for Besselink, but she already has a goal of competing at the post-secondary level for basketball or earning a track scholarship. Eventually she sees herself as a teacher or a fashion designer.

Station 14 entrepreneur says local news is about to go viral

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - The idea of a community-driven internet news channel had been roaming around Anthony Agostino’s brain for over five years, but he knew he had to wait for the right moment to make it happen. Finally, given the current explosion of social media and the increasing prevalence of smartphones and tablets that can display high-definition video, he has decided that the time is now.

Station 14, a video-based website and app, will officially launch April 14, providing the people of Kingston with 100 per cent local content at their fingertips, wherever they happen to be and at any time of day. Two video journalists will be out in the community every day finding local news and feature stories and further segments will be produced by host Chelsea McDermott – but that’s only part of what Station 14 will offer.

“In addition to that we’re allowing the public to upload their own videos to our site and to our app as well, so it’s very interactive,” Agostino explains. “We’re not just telling people stories and showing

them what we feel they want to see, we’re letting them be a part of it. We’re letting them engage and really be a part of their community and be able to showcase their own things.”

Potential community videos could be anything from a non-profit organization posting highlights of their board meeting to a local musician who is looking to showcase their work.

“We think that will be really key to what we’re doing,” Agostino notes.

In 2009, Agostino left behind his career as a broadcaster at CKWS TV when he found his former side-project, the video production company VIVA productions, had become more than a full-time job.

While it was a tough decision to leave, he says that in the end it was definitely the right choice.

“I liked my broadcast career very much and I loved the people [at CKWS], but I had the opportunity to become an entrepreneur and I love challenges. I’m the type of person where I believe opportunity is what you make of it, and I want to make my own opportunities. I want to have my own creations and really determine my own destiny.”

Four years later, VIVA has expanded tremendously and created five new jobs in Kingston. More recently, through Station 14, Agostino was able to create four additional jobs.

“One of the things that I’m proud of as an entrepreneur is that within the last 18 months I’ve created nine new jobs in this community. I really take a lot of pride in [the fact that] I’m able to contribute in that way and create these things.”

Indeed, at the heart of it all is Agostino’s passion for his community.

“I was born and raised here in Kingston.

Sparing some squares for those in need hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - Have you ever heard of a charity that asks for toilet paper instead of money?

No? Well, you have now.

That’s what Morgan Pierce says to people he meets on the street before handing them a brochure explaining his TP the Town campaign, which he started earlier this month as a way of providing toilet paper to those in need.

The idea first came to Pierce when he visited the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Kingston about a year ago as part of a United Way Seeing is Believing Tour. The society provides nutritious lunches and other necessities to those in need, and serves over 500 households and 1,000 people each month. While there, Pierce struck up a conversation with one of St. Vincent de Paul’s clients.

“I said to her, ‘I’m just wondering, if I could donate anything to you at all [that you need the most], what would it be’? And instantly she said toilet paper.”

Why toilet paper?

“She said, ‘they give us one roll a month, we hoard it, we hide it, it’s expensive.’” Pierce explains.

After further looking into the matter, he learned that St. Vincent de Paul provides household baskets to clients; they include soap, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies and toilet paper. Money is tight for the organization, however, hence the single roll per family per month.

“I thought, I literally flush

down the toilet something that people view as having extreme value,” Pierce says. “I started talking to people and sharing the story with a number of friends and they all said ‘I’d give a roll’ or ‘I’d give a package.’ And I kind of realized that if we can get the word out and if everyone in Kingston donated a roll they would have enough to last them a whole year.”

With the help of his friends Luke Kowalski and Jennifer Spinozzi, as well as his wife, Nicole, Pierce thus created the TP the Town initiative. Its goal is to raise 100,000 rolls of toilet paper

by April 5. While he admits that it’s a pretty ambitious goal, community response thus far has been tremendous. The Kingston Police Department, James Brett Salon, and local Scouts groups are just a few of the businesses and organizations that have jumped on board to donate toilet paper and manpower to the cause. Members of the Queen’s band are even going door-to-door “trick or treating”, so to speak, for toilet paper donations.

On April 5, members of the public can drop off their TP from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Walmart, the Kingston Centre Loblaws, the Barrack Street Food Basics, the Telus/Ring Wireless store at the RIO CAN centre and Innovation Park, located at 945 Princess St. Walmart, Loblaws and Food Basics have all agreed to price

match the city’s best deal on toilet paper on April 5 in order to encourage people to buy.

Two Men and a Truck movers have then agreed to gather all of the donations and bring them down to the St. Vincent de Paul

Society.

“The community has really come together on this,” Pierce says. “It’s been really inspiring.

Even if we get half our goal, I think we’ll make a really big dent on what we need to help people

Olympic gold medalist visits Kingston to inspire youth

By Hiba Kesebi

When it comes to success, former Olympian gold medalist and Amazing Race Canada host Jon Montgomery has a simple formula: passion and perseverance.

The 2010 Vancouver Olympics skeleton racing champion – by .007 of a second – shared his story of passion and perseverance to a crowd of more than 500 students from three school boards at Loyalist Collegiate as part of the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston’s sixth annual Making a Difference Speaker Series.

“You need to have the passion in your belly to weather the storm. Every journey has its ups and downs, and it’s the passion that will see you through the low places…Unless you love something, it will be way too easy to quit when the going goes tough,” explained 34 year old Montgomery, who didn’t discover his passion for skeleton racing until later on in life.

Growing up in Russell, Man., Montgomery enjoyed playing hockey. His childhood hero was the NHL player Theo Fleury. Fleury, despite of being one of the smallest players in the league, helped the Calgary Flames earn their one and only Stanley Cup victory in 1989. He was also from Russell, Man., which in the eyes of Montgomery made him all the more a hero.

“In my nine-year-old brain, I couldn’t fathom how somebody from this small town that I belonged to could play in the NHL,” he said.

Not too long after his Stanley Cup victory, Montgomery had the chance to meet the town hero in person. It was during this encounter that he realized anything is possible and that big things do happen to small people from small towns.

“I remember the experience quiet vividly. I guess I had built it up to being something more than it really was. I was left with the feeling of almost disappointed that he wasn’t this mythical creature that we saw play on the ice. He was just a regular man,” Montgomery told the students, noting that after meeting with Fleury his views on life took a turn to the better.

“It was one of those moments that changes how your

brain thinks or processes information. I no longer looked at things through the eyes of someone that says ‘I can’t do that’, or ‘people from Russell, Manitoba’ just don’t do things like that. Everything became a possibility and my world became a lot bigger when I realized that people from anywhere can do anything.”

By the time he graduated high school, Montgomery was sure he wasn’t set out to be the next hockey hero. He began his search for a new sport – one that he’d love and be passionate about.

“I was looking for something in my life. Something I could sink my teeth into and something I could call my own. I knew that I was going to have to work hard and I knew that there were going to be sacrifices. I knew there was going to be a long road because I wanted to find a sport that I actually could represent my country at,” he said.

In his search for a new passion, Montgomery attempted speed skating.

“I thought ‘I’m a fast skater. I should be a good speed skater.’ It’s not quite that easy I’m afraid,” he told the students, describing how he almost “took out” an entire group of Japanese tourists as they were walking across the ice.

“It was a horrible experience and I’m sure until this day, those people will never go to a speed skating event for fear that somebody will come bearing at them,” said Montgomery.

Though he ultimately got good at it, Montgomery didn’t feel passionate about the sport.

In 2002, he found his passion by chance while visiting Calgary’s Olympic Park – home of the 1988 Olympic Games – with this mother.

“As we are approaching the bobsled track, all of a sudden we hear this WHOOOSH down the track… We see this athlete come down face first, on his stomach at 125 kilometres an hour and you can imagine my surprise. I was beside myself.

I thought I just witnessed the most horrible luge accident of my life. And then all of a sudden you see another athlete and another.”

It became apparent this was no luge accident. The athletes were actually participating in skeleton racing and Montgomery instantly knew he had to try it.

It was -30 Celsius when Montgomery made his first attempt at skeleton racing, which he describes as going down a waterslide on steroids.

“By the end [of the track], I was bumped and bruised, my jacket was ripped, I had no idea what was happening to me, and I could not have been happier. I crossed the finish line and I was grinning from ear to ear like a dummy. It was the most exhilarating thing I have ever experienced in my life.

“I knew at that exact moment, that I had found what I was looking for,” he said.

Montgomery was not a natural at skeleton racing and like most people he struggled at the beginning. But he had a passion and persevered.

“Failure is part of the process, you need to fail. It’s not the winning that teaches you how to be resilient, it’s the set-backs, it’s the loss and it’s the disappointment.

It’s the knowledge that if I work harder, if I practice longer, if I’m more disciplined, I will be better tomorrow.”

Fast forward eight years of dedication, discipline and practice, Montgomery found himself at the 2010 Olympic Games grinning from ear to ear, holding his gold medal in skeleton racing.

Fast forward four more, and here he is inspiring kids right here in Kingston.

SpringHome 2014 Home improvement projects perfect for spring

Home projects perfect for spring The rejuvenating spirit of spring makes this beloved season an ideal time for homeowners to take stock of their homes and properties and address any issues that arose during the winter.

While some homes make it through winter unscathed, the harsh weather of the year’s coldest season can add several tasks to homeowners’ springtime to-do lists.

While some projects are best left to the professionals, others can be tackled even by those homeowners with little or no DIY experience.

The following are a handful of projects tailormade for spring.

Inspect the gutters Gutters tend to bear the brunt of harsh winter weather, and come spring gutters are in need of inspection if not repair. Winter winds, snow and heavy rainfall can compromise the effectiveness of gutters, which can easily accumulate debris and detach from homes during winter storms. In addition, gutters sometimes develop leaks over the winter months. As a result, homeowners should conduct a careful inspection of their gutters come the spring, being sure to look for leaks while clearing the gutters of debris and reattaching gutters that might have become detached from the home on windy winter days and nights.

When reattaching loose gutters, make sure the downspouts are draining away from the foundation, as gutters that are not draining properly can cause damage to that foundation and possibly lead to flooding.

Take stock of roof shingles Much like its gutters and downspouts, a home’s roof can suffer significant damage over the course of a typical winter. Shingles may be lost to harsh winter winds and storms, so homeowners should examine the roof to determine if any shingles were lost (lost shingles might even be lying around the property) or suffered damage that’s considerable enough to require re-

placement. Summer can be especially brutal on shingles, especially those that suffered significant damage during the winter. If left unchecked or unaddressed, problems with damaged shingles can quickly escalate into larger issues when spring rains and summer sun inevitably arrive, so homeowners should prioritize fixing or replacing damaged shingles as quickly as possible.

Check for freeze damage Frozen temperatures can be hard on humans and homes alike, but unlike humans who can stay inside when temperatures dip below freezing, homes are forced to withstand the elements throughout the winter. External hose faucets are often susceptible to freeze damage. To inspect such faucets, turn the water on and then place a thumb or finger over the opening of the faucet.

If your thumb or finger can completely stop the flow of water, the pipe where the water is coming from is likely damaged and will need to be replaced.

Examine the lawn for low spots Once a lawn has thawed out, homeowners can patrol their properties looking for low spots in the yard or even low spots within spitting distance of the home’s foundation. Such spots increase the likelihood of flooding. Flooding near a home’s foundation increases the risk of potentially costly damage, while low spots on the lawn that go ignored can make great breeding grounds for insects, including mosquitoes, when the weather warms up. When low spots are detected, fill them in with compacted soil. Compacted soil can prevent spring rains from flooding a yard or damaging a home’s foundation.

Assessing potential property damage is a rite of passage for homeowners in the spring. Though some damage is significant, oftentimes even novice DIYers can work their homes and properties back into shape in time to enjoy spring and Each spring, homeowners should inspect their gutters to ensure the gutters are still atsummer. tached to their homes and free of debris.

How to guarantee your garden starts off on the right foot

STEEL ROOFING/SHINGLES

As winter slowly winds down, many gardeners cannot wait to soak up the springtime sun and get their hands dirty in the garden. Such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benefit the garden in the months to come as well.

Late winter or early spring is a great time to get a head start on the gardening season. Even if gardening season is still around the corner, completing the following projects can ensure your garden gets off on the right foot.

Another way to examine the soil is less complex but can shed light on when would be a good time to get back to work. Reach into the soil and dig out a handful. If the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for gardening seasoning. But if the soil is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work.

Initiate edging Edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. Edge plant and flower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a flat blade or an edger designed to edge flower beds. Such tools will cut deep enough so grass roots that may eventually grow into the flower bed are severed. Depending on how large a garden is, edging can be a time-consuming task, so getting a head start allows homeowners to spend more time planting and tending to their gardens once the season hits full swing.

Clear debris One of the best things you can do for your garden as winter winds down is to clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often filled with debris once spring arrives. Dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely won’t take long, but it’s Fight weeds a great first step toward restoring the garden Though weeds likely have not survived the before the time comes to plant and grow the winter, that does not mean they won’t return once garden once again. the weather starts to heat up.

Equip your home with a sump pump and backup battery In 2012, hundreds of miles of coastline along the northeastern United States were battered and decimated due to Hurricane Sandy. More than a year later, many homeowners were still dealing with the consequences of the devastating storm.

Hurricane Sandy illustrated just how destructive water can be. Each year, storms across North America have the potential to flood homes or cause water to enter the basement or first floor. According to the National Flood Insurance Program, a mere six inches of water in a 2,000 square foot home can cause around $40,000 in damage. Homeowners looking to avoid such damages can rely on sump pumps and backup emergency systems to keep sublevels dry and safe.

Sump pumps are frequently used in homes at risk of flooding or in homes where the water table is above the foundation of the home. Sump pumps remove water that has accumulated in a water collecting sump basin built into the foundation of the home. Water may enter through perimeter drains (French drains) built into the basement or directly through the sump basin itself. The pump will send the water away from the house through a series of pipes that could drain into a dry well, into a municipal storm drain or at the curb.

Many sump pumps are hard-wired into a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical system and will automatically turn on when the water level in the sump basin has risen enough to trigger the pump. A flotation device built into the pump will rise enough to turn on the pump, which will then dispel the water until the device returns to its regular level.

When operating correctly, sump pumps are effective at removing water and keeping basements and crawl spaces dry. However, in the event of a power outage, which is common when strong winds accompany flooding rains, a sump pump is rendered useless unless there is a backup battery attached to the sump pump.

Having a battery hooked up to a sump pump, or a backup sump pump that is battery-powered, can give homeowners peace of mind in any storm.

A backup plan ensures the pump will still be able to remove water for a certain period of time until electricity is restored to the home. Another option is to make sure the sump pump is connected to a power generator should the main power supply go out. As long as the generator is running, the sump pump will expel the water.

Water damage to a home can cost thousands of dollars in repairs, particularly when it is not covered by standard home insurance policies. Sump pumps can help keep homes dry and safe.

Homeowners who live in areas prone to flooding can protect their homes with sump pumps.

Many homeowners do not think twice about their roofs. But when leaks develop, roof repairs and the subsequent costs of such work shed light on how important it is for homeowners to pay closer attention to the roofs over their heads.

Though certain roof issues, like shingles lost to inclement weather, are unforeseeable, many problems can be avoided with routine roof inspection.

Checking roof conditions twice a year can help homeowners avoid potentially costly repair work or even more expensive roof replacement projects.

Spring is a good time to inspect roofs, which are often at the mercy of harsh conditions throughout the winter. Heavy snow, ice and biting winds can do significant damage, making spring the perfect time to assess if any such damage occurred and address any issues. â&#x20AC;˘ Start the inspection in the interior of the home.

Before breaking out the ladder and climbing up to the roof, inspect the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior, pinpointing potential problems that may indicate roof damage. Check for stains on the ceiling which may indicate leaks that need to be addressed.

Homeowners with attics should enter their attics and look for signs of water damage, making note of any damp or wet insulation. This will let you know if water has been entering the attic all winter. Pay attention to the location of any wet spots or stains so you can match them up to the exterior of the roof later on. Musty smells also may be indicative of moisture problems, even if there are no visible leaks. â&#x20AC;˘ Inspect the roof outside. Grab a set of binoculars and inspect the exterior of the roof. Look at the roof flashing, including around the chimney and other areas of protruding pipes and vents. If the flashing is warped or damaged, moisture might be settling underneath. Sealant around dormers or skylights can also degrade, resulting in leaks.

Check for spalling on masonry, such as the mortar of chimneys. Porous areas will allow water to infiltrate. â&#x20AC;˘ Go directly on the roof and check. Work with a partner and carefully climb on the roof while

someone holds the ladder below. Walk on the perimeter of the roof, looking for peeling or warped shingles, missing shingles, holes, or scrapes. If the roof is compromised in any way, it will need to be repaired. The problem will only grow more significant and repairs more expensive if damage is ignored. Sometimes a repair can be as simple as patching a leak with a new shingle and roofing cement. Popped nails can be pounded down and any curled shingles can be nailed or cemented back into place. â&#x20AC;˘ Consult a roofing expert. If you are unsure if your roof has made it through the winter unscathed and would like a second opinion or if you find there is considerable damage, contact a roofing contractor. This person will offer a professional assessment of what can be repaired or if the roof should be replaced. If your roof is metal or features clay tiles, you may not have the expertise to make repairs yourself and will need to hire a professional. â&#x20AC;˘ Check the gutters, too. While you are up on the roof, inspect the gutters and downspouts as well. Cracked or damage gutters will cause water to leak down the side of the home, potentially damaging the foundation. Clear any debris or leftover leaves from the gutters to ensure the rain can wash through unobstructed.

A post-winter roof inspection can protect homeowners and their families from the elements and reduce the likelihood of potentially costly repairs down the road.

The basics of cleaning windows After a long winter of snow and ice, many people are ready for the warmth and sunshine synonymous with spring. But dirty windows can block that sunshine from finding its way into a home. Washing windows can be quite an undertaking, particularly in those homes with many windows on multiple levels. However, there are several time-saving tips available that can cut the work considerably.

• Save window washing for a cloudy day. Otherwise, the warmth and sunlight may dry the cleaning solution too quickly and you will be left with streaks on your windows.

• Vacuum windowsills and tracks first to remove a good deal of dust and debris. This will reduce the amount of dirt you smear onto the windows while cleaning them.

• Use a combination of a sponge soaked in cleaning solution and a squeegee to get really clean win-

• •

dows. The squeegee helps to prevent streaks and cut down on the time it takes the windows to dry, all the while helping the windows to sparkle.

Window screens may be the culprit behind dingy windows. Hose down the screens with water to clean them, using a mild cleaning solution if water is ineffective.

Working with a partner can make the task go much more quickly. One person can clean the exteriors of the windows while the other does the interiors.

A mild dishwashing liquid diluted in water can cut through dirt and grime. For stubborn dirt, wash windows with diluted ammonia or vinegar.

Use a glass-cleaning tool to clean hard-to-reach windows. A telescoping cleaning tool and pad can make it safer to reach windows that are high up.

Urine damage Urine damage is often limited to a particular area of the grass where your family pet routinely relieves itself. Once a particular patch of grass has worn down, the pet may move on to another spot.

But if you quickly notice a dead spot due to urine damage, you can train the animal to urinate elsewhere, limiting the damage it causes. When repairing the grass, dig a hole that’s roughly four inches deep and fill it with fresh soil until it’s level with the soil surrounding the dead patch. Then you can sprinkle seed on top of the freshly laid soil and water the spot.Grass should grow in and stay green so long as you prevent further urine damage.

want to handle the problem on your own, apply pesticide to the affected areas so the insects behind the problem are killed. Once the insects are no more, cut the grass, raking the affected area to remove the dead grass and any additional debris.

Scatter grass seed over the affected areas and then apply an appropriate fertilizer and water immediately. Professionals may know just the right fertilizer for your lawn, so even if you want to go it alone, visit a local lawn care center to ask for advice about addressing your particular problem.

Fertilizer damage Fertilizer damage can also prove difficult to address, as applying fresh seeds too soon can kill any freshly growing seedlings. So grass that has been damaged by overfertilization must first be allowed to fully die. Once that has happened, the grass can be cut and any remaining debris or dead grass can be removed. Seed can then be scattered, and you can even add some additional soil before laying down an appropriate amount of fertilizer and watering the lawn immediately. If you don’t trust yourself to use fertilizer correctly, then hire a professional to do the job for you. This will cost a little more, but you likely won’t wake up to more dead patches of grass down the road.

Dead grass can be unsightly and turn an otherwise lush lawn into a patchy eyesore. But addressing dead grass can be easy and can quickly restore a lawn to its green grandeur.

Insect damage Addressing dead spots caused by insect damage can be a little more complicated, and some homeowners may prefer to hire a professional. If you

A patch of dead grass on an otherwise lush lawn can be a frustrating eyesore for homeowners.

Whether lawn care is your passion or just something you do to maintain the value of your home, dead grass can be exasperating.

But as unsightly as dead grass can be, addressing it and restoring the dead patches can be somewhat simple. Before you can restore grass, however, you must first identify the source of the problem.

Grass often dies because of urine damage, which is typically characterized by a dead spot surrounded by otherwise green grass. Grub infestation might be at fault when dead grass appears, and such an infestation often produces patches of light brown grass that are scattered throughout the lawn. It’s also possible that dead grass is a result of human error. If your lawn was overfertilized, then patches of gray-green grass may appear. Fungal disease is another common culprit behind dead grass, and such disease can manifest itself in different ways.

Once you have identified why the grass is dead, which may require the help of a professional, then you can begin to treat your lawn.

Add some fresh color to kitchen cabinets

it easier to reassemble and ensures the cabinets and their hinges will align properly once you have finished painting. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paint dirty surfaces. Cabinet surfaces have likely collected their share of dirt, grease and grime over the years, so you want to clean these surfaces thoroughly before painting. Once surfaces have been cleaned, rinse them off and give them ample time to dry. â&#x20AC;˘ Sand the surfaces. Once the surfaces have been cleaned and are completely dry, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start sanding them. Lightly sand the doors using a wood sanding block, working to create a firm base to which fresh paint can easily adhere. Areas that are most exposed to wear and tear may require some extra elbow grease, and some areas may be especially flaky. When old paint is flaking off, this means the previous finish did not adhere very well to the surface, which is not necessarily uncommon in kitchens, where moisture and grease residue can make it harder for paint to adhere to the surface. In such instances, sand the flaky areas to the bare wood before spot-priming with a primer or sealer designed for areas with heavy staining. After all of the sanding is complete, vacuum the surfaces to ensure there is no leftover sanding dust before painting. â&#x20AC;˘ Apply primer-sealer. Primer-sealer ensures the fresh paint will bond well to the surfaces, preventing conditions like flaking in the future. â&#x20AC;˘ Paint the cabinets. After the primer-sealer has been applied, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to paint the cabinets. Begin with the inside edges and openings of the face frames, followed by the outer cabinet sides and then the front of the frames. Then move on to the cabinet doors and any drawer fronts you might be painting as well.

Cabinets with more elaborate designs require closer attention to detail than flat cabinets. When painting, opt for thin coats, which dry more quickly and also create fewer visible brushstrokes. When applying multiple coats, allow the paint ample time to dry between coats. Four hours between coats is a good rule of thumb, and lightly resand all surfaces before applying the second and final coat of paint. â&#x20AC;˘ Reassemble the cabinets. Once the final coat of paint has fully dried, carefully reassemble your cabinets and then enjoy the fresh and inexpensive new look that your freshly painted cabinets have created.

Many homeowners dream of giving their kitchens a full-scale remodel. Though such a project can give a kitchen an entirely new look, that look does not come cheap. According to Remodeling magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cost vs. Value Report,â&#x20AC;? homeowners can expect to spend more than $53,000 on a major kitchen remodel and recoup just below 70 percent of that cost at resale.

So while the idea of a full-scale kitchen remodel might be a dream project, the cost of such an undertaking is beyond many homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budgets.

But homeowners who cannot afford a full remodel can still give their kitchens a new look and can do so for relatively little money. Painting kitchen cabinets a new color or simply giving fading cabinets a fresh coat of paint can instantly add life to a kitchen, giving the room an entirely different feel without breaking the bank. The following are a few tips for homeowners planning to paint their kitchen cabinets. â&#x20AC;˘ Assess your existing cabinets. Some cabinet materials, including wood and metal, can be repainted without much of a fuss. But other materials, including plastic laminate, are not so amenable to repainting, and will likely require specialty paints. Homeowners with plastic laminate cabinets should first paint a spot or two with a sample paint, being careful to choose a spot thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concealed. If the paint bonds well to the plastic laminate, then you can go forward and buy enough paint to redo all of the cabinets. If the paint does not take, consult a professional to find a paint thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be a better fit. Expect this process to be one of trial and error. â&#x20AC;˘ Plan for ornate cabinets to take a little longer. Painting projects will go faster when cabinets have flat fronts, but they can take considerably longer when cabinets are unique and more detailed. If your cabinets are ornate, then factor this extra time into your schedule. â&#x20AC;˘ Remove the doors and hardware. When painting cabinets, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to essentially disassemble them, removing the doors, handles, knobs, latches, and any additional hardware. When removing hardware, be sure to set them aside in clearly marked plastic bags so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to reassemble the cabinets once the fresh coat of paint has dried. â&#x20AC;˘ As doors are removed, number each door and its corresponding location, much like products that require assembly are numbered at the factory.

The EMC Real Estate Guide - Thursday, April 3, 2014 5

Things to consider before downsizing your home Once their kids have left the nest, many men and women over 50 begin to consider downsizing their homes.

Downsizing to a smaller home can be beneficial for a variety of reasons, including less home to clean and maintain, more affordable utility bills and lower property taxes. But the decision to downsize is rarely black and white, and men and women often struggle with that decision.

Perhaps the most difficult part of the decision of whether or not to downsize to a smaller home concerns the sentimental attachment many homeowners, especially those with children, have to their homes. The home might be too big for your current needs, but it also was the same place where your son took his first steps and where your daughter lost her first tooth. Saying goodbye to a place that was home to so many memories isn’t easy. But there’s more than just sentimental value to consider when deciding whether or not to downsize your home after the kids have grown up and moved out.

Personal finances Your financial situation merits significant consideration when deciding if the time is right to downsize your home. If your retirement nest egg is not as substantial as you would like it to be, then it would seem as though downsizing to a smaller, more affordable home is a great opportunity for you to start catching up on your retirement savings. But that’s only true if your new home won’t incur any additional expenses that are al-

ready taken care of in your current home. For example, your current home may be fully furnished, while a new, smaller home may require you to buy all new furniture because your existing items simply won’t fit. The cost of such furnishings can be considerable. If you plan to move into a condominium, you can expect to pay monthly homeowners association fees, and such fees are often substantial. So while the condo itself might be smaller, the additional expenses associated with the property may end up making the smaller home more expensive and prevent you from saving more money for retirement.

Real estate market There are seller’s markets and there are buyer’s markets, and ideally you would like to sell your home in a seller’s market. But keep in mind that this might be the same market in which you hope to buy a new home.

The nature of the real estate market depends on a host of factors, including geography. If the city or town where you currently live is in the midst of a seller’s market and you are planning on moving to a location where buyers have the upper hand, then now might be a great time to move. But if you currently live in a buyer’s market and hope to move to a seller’s market, then you may end up paying a steep price, even when downsizing to a smaller home. Things may even themselves out if you want to downsize to a smaller home within your current community, but do your homework nonetheless, researching

the time of year when you’re most likely to get the most for your home and find the best deal on your next place. The advantage men and women considering downsizing have is that they are rarely in a rush to move out of their current home and into their next one. This gives them ample time to make the real estate market work for them.

Space How much space do you really need? Once the kids have moved out, couples may feel like all of that extra space is going to waste. But that can be a knee-jerk reaction, and upon a more thorough examination of the space and your needs you may just find that you can put all of that extra square footage to good use after all. If you have always wanted your own art studio, then now might be the perfect time to make that a reality. Always wanted a room devoted to home theater? Get to work on converting your basement from an all-purpose game room to your own private movie theater. If, after considering the space in your home, you find that the extra square footage really is just upkeep you aren’t especially interested in doing, then you would no doubt like a cozier home that’s less of a responsibility to maintain.

Downsizing a home is something many men and women over 50 consider after their children have moved out. Such a decision is rarely easy, so homeowners should take as much time as they need before making a final decision to move or stay put.

Real estate investing for beginners edge of how the leasing process works, forcing them to rely on a real estate firm to write up leases and ensure all leases stay current. This, too, can cut into an investor’s profits. Investors who don’t bring any relevant expertise to the table can still make a profit from their real estate investments, but those profits likely won’t be as significant when outside companies must be hired to ensure the property is in good shape and all necessary documents are in order and up-todate.

Time Real estate is often a time-consuming investment. Tenants pay good money to live in attractive rental properties, and those tenants will have a host of needs that must be met. Investors must be sure they have the time to address their tenants’ concerns, especially investors with no plans to hire property management firms. Potential investors who already have full plates at work and at home may not be able to devote the time necessary to make the most of their real estate investments, and therefore might be better off finding another way to invest their money.

Time also must be considered when considering profits. Real estate is not the type of investment that turns a profit overnight. Even investors who are looking to invest in an up-and-coming neighborhood must be prepared to hold onto their properties for at least a few years, if not much longer, to maximize their investments. Though real estate is a sound investment, it is not a get rich quick type of investment, so investors looking to make a quick buck should consider alternatives before buying investment properties.

Size First-time real estate investors might be wise to choose a smaller property for their initial investment. Larger properties can be overwhelming to manage, and investors often rely on property management firms to tend to these properties. Such firms charge more to manage bigger properties, which can eat into investors’ finances. Veteran investors can handle such overhead costs, but firsttimers might find themselves caught off guard upon realizing the gravity of their financial commitment. A good rule of thumb for first-time investors is to stick to smaller properties, only moving on to larger buildings once they are fully comfortable with all that comes with investing in real estate.

Costs The cost of a real estate investment goes beyond the purchase price of the home. In addition to the mortgage on the property, investors must pay the taxes and insurance on the property, as well as any costs associated with maintaining and managing the property. Certain tax breaks are available to real estate investors depending on where they live. For example, in the United States, taxes on the profits when a property is sold may be deferred if those profits are immediately rolled into another property (such a deferment is only available to those investors who arrange this exchange prior to selling the initial property). Potential investors need to consider all of these costs, and might want to hire a real estate lawyer to help them make the most of their investments and any profits they yield. But even hiring an attorney is an additional cost investors must consider before investing.

R0012626701

On the heels of a recession that saw home values drop, many would-be investors have shied away from buying investment properties. But real estate has historically remained a sound investment, boasting a long-term appreciation rate that makes it a worthwhile investment for those who can withstand temporary setbacks in housing prices and hold on to their properties over the long haul.

But investors are often nervous as they look for their first properties. Uncertainty about housing prices aside, investing in real estate also is risky, and first-time investors need to be comfortable with such risk in order to make the most of their investments. The following are a few things potential real estate investors should consider as they decide if investing in real estate is right for them.

Personal ability Real estate investors typically have tenants, and those tenants inevitably have needs. Investors who have experience as contractors may not find it difficult to renovate a property and make it more attractive to tenants, nor are they likely to be inconvenienced when minor issues on the property need to be addressed. Investors with no such experience will need to hire contractors to do the work for them, cutting into potential profits down the road. In addition, investors who don’t have the ability and/ or the time to address minor issues like a clogged drain or a drafty window on their own will need to hire a property management firm to tend to such needs.

Such firms are effective, but also expensive, further cutting into your profits.

Even those investors with contracting experience may have little or no knowl-

How to find the right real estate lawyer

Buying or selling real estate is rarely free of complications. Unforeseen issues often arise during real estate transactions, and in such instances a real estate attorney can prove invaluable. While buyers, sellers or veteran real estate investors might be able to handle minor or routine issues on their own or with the help of their realtor, more complex matters are best left in the hands of a real estate attorney.

One of the benefits to hiring a real estate attorney when negotiating a complex or potentially complex real estate transaction is the expertise that lawyers can bring to the table.

Realtors may have vast experience buying and selling homes, and many are adept at negotiating as well. But realtors are not licensed to practice law, and even the savviest realtor would admit that offering legal advice is not his or her forte. Men and women involved in complex or potentially complex real estate transactions would be wise to hire a real estate attorney, and the following are a few things to consider before hiring someone to represent you.

Experience One of the reasons to hire a real estate attorney is to make use of their experience. Hurdles have a tendency to spring up during complicated real estate transactions. Men and women involving themselves in development deals or buying rental properties likely won’t see potential red flags as clearly as a veteran real estate attorney will. When inter-

viewing a real estate attorney, ask how long he has been working as a real estate lawyer and how long he has been practicing in your particular state and city. Zoning laws and other restrictions vary from state to state and city to city, so look for a lawyer who has considerable experience in your state and city or the state and city where the transaction is taking place.

Plan of action When interviewing prospective attorneys, don’t assume each one knows the best way to approach your particular case. Provide the details of your transaction and then ask each attorney to explain how they would approach the case. A veteran real estate attorney should be able to provide a detailed account of how he plans to represent you, including what needs to be done to get the transaction off the ground, any potential hurdles that might need to be cleared and how to clear those should they arise. Avoid attorneys who give general or ambiguous answers, as such answers may be poor attempts by the lawyer to mask his or her inexperience with transactions such as yours. Some attorneys may request time to develop a plan of action, and you should not immediately remove them from consideration, especially if they ultimately answer the question in thoughtful detail.

Billing Attorneys are expensive, so it’s best to discuss the billing process

before hiring someone to represent you. Attorneys tend to bill by the hour, but their rates may be negotiable depending on the service they’re providing. Those who will be overseeing your real estate transaction and continuously representing you will likely bill by the hour, but if you’re hiring a real estate attorney to examine a potential agreement or draft a contract then you can probably negotiate a flat fee for those services. But be sure to discuss billing before hiring an attorney.

Real estate transactions are rarely inexpensive, so you don’t want to be blindsided down the road when your legal bills come due.

working on your case can ease the stress associated with complex real estate transactions.

Real estate attorneys can help men and women navigate the some-

times turbulent waters of real estate transactions, and it helps to consider a host of factors before hiring a firm to represent you.

Representation When interviewing an attorney, many people assume the attorney they initially interviewed will be the person who represents them throughout the transaction. However, the day-to-day work on your case may be assigned to a junior associate or even someone who isn’t licensed to practice law, such as a paralegal or a current law school student who is interning with the firm. These people might be perfectly capable of handling your transaction, but you should meet them before hiring the firm to represent you.

Who is responsible for repairs during a home sale?

Many questions arise during the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home’s repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a certificate of occupancy. Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer.

pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made.

There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the current owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The homebuying process is typically a careful cooperation between buyer and seller to find a middle ground.

The buyer may have to make some concessions, as will the seller.

Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated.

A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to review with his or her attorney and real estate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate attorney to write clauses into the contract to protect their interests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise.

Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is adviseable for a buyer to have an independent inspector come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents will suggest this be done as a first priority -- even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be unsafe. An inspector also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give

The rules often change when buying a home that is a short sale or in foreclosure. A home that is in distress is typically in this situation because the current owners cannot afford to pay their mortgage, and thusly, are not able to afford repairs. According to Think Glink, a money-management Web site, buyers may try to negotiate repairs with the seller, but they shouldn’t assume that sellers (or lenders in the event of a bank-owned home) are responsible for the repairs.

Generally speaking, most short sales and foreclosures are sold

“as is” and may even specify that repairs and requirements for the certificate of occupancy are the buyer’s responsibility. A buyer also can ask to have the home price reduced to cover the repairs.

But foreclosures are often already deeply discounted.

Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure, there are some repairs that should ultimately be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walking away from the deal, according to Why6Percent.com, a real estate marketing site. Such repairs include: * lender-required repairs that

could impact home safety * leaky pipes * water penetration issues,

including a bad roof * unsafe decking or handrails * wet basements or crawl

These people can help buyers navigate the important decisions that can affect Home buyers may be able to negotiate that sellers repair major structhe home they’ll be living in for the tural issues, such as a leaky roof.
