Fast-acting citizens come to rescue of driver trapped in blazing car BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com
Not all weekday evenings are your run-of-themill routine, and the night of Monday, June 5 was anything but for Rick Marklew. Just after 10 p.m., Marklew was at his home just west of Odessa, relaxing after a day of work and watching some television with his brother, Shaune. The pair heard a car whizzing by, but assumed it was a police vehicle, Marklew said, as their location on Highway 2 often sees emergency vehicle traffic. They’d just finished commenting on how they’d not seen any flashing lights or heard any sirens when they were startled by a “loud pop,” said Marklew. The lights in the house flickered and the brothers quickly pieced together that something must have gone wrong. Walking out into the dark, drizzly night, Marklew said he first looked west, where he saw nothing A Hydro One worker inspects the sole vehicle in a collision that knocked out power to the but darkness.

coming this way, so there’s nothing over there … it must be to the west,’” said Marklew, who works for Door Doctor in the Kingston area. The two men dashed back into the house to grab some flashlights and returned just in time to see the westbound vehicle continuing down Highway 2, having just passed their location. they watched it continue on, they saw it pass a vehicle that had just become ablaze. Each brother jumped into their respective vehicle and drove toward the scene, less than 200 metres from Marklew’s front door. With his brother on the phone trying to relay information to a 911 dispatcher, Marklew said he ran across the highway toward the burning vehicle, a Dodge Challenger. It was clear to Marklew that the vehicle had struck a utility pole, hit the roadside ditch and flipped more than once. At some point, the car must have been airborne, Marklew said, because there were tree limbs and branches scattered in the area.

Fast-acting citizens come to rescue of driver The Challenger had also hit a mailbox at some point and was facing the opposite direction it had been travelling. Marklew attempted to put out the flames with his on-board fire extinguisher, but the canister drained in seconds and was really of no use. The passenger side door was open and Marklew witnessed a male walking away from the car, seemingly a bit confused. As the male approached the highway, Marklew ushered him across the roadway to his truck. “I sat him down and I said, ‘Are you OK?’” Marklew recalled. “He said, ‘Well, my dad is still in the car.” Marklew immediately ran back to the burning car. There, behind the wheel and awake, the other man was clearly dazed by the crash. He was speaking, but incoherent as Marklew tried to explain that he needed to get out of the car. While he doesn’t know if he was unable to open the driver’s door due to the impact, or whether the doors were locked, Marklew said he was unable to direct the driver to unlock the doors. “I tried everything to get him up, but I couldn’t,” he said. Just then, two other males arrived at the scene in a truck. One of them brought a large, metal bar to the driver’s side of the car. “I smashed the driver’s side window out and we both just pulled him out,” said Marklew. At that point, the entire front of the car was up in flames, Marklew explained on Thursday, June 8, still a bit shaken from the events three
days earlier. “We dragged him out of the car and we just kept going. We never stopped to get our footing, we just kept going, up the little embankment, out across the highway,” he said. “As soon as we got to my truck, maybe 15 seconds later, the cab was gone. The inside of the car was engulfed in flames.” As Marklew and his brother kept the two men on the other side of Marklew’s work vehicle, to protect them all in case of an explosion, first responders arrived on the scene in minutes. Both the driver and passenger of the Challenger were taken to hospital by ambulance with serious injuries, according to a report from the OPP. “I don’t even know who he was. I don’t know his name, nothing,” Marklew said of the driver saved by the heroism of others. “It would be nice to know if they’re both OK, though. That’s the one thing I would like.” The statuses of both the driver and the passenger are unknown, as police have not followed up with them since the incident, said Juliane Porritt, media relations officer for the Napanee OPP detachment. “I don’t know if they’ve been released or if they remain in hospital,” Porritt said. “It’s actually turned into a criminal investigation, and the officer doing the investigation isn’t in again until … Monday. So, there won’t be any further follow up until then.” Still, while questions about the two men hang over Marklew’s head, he doesn’t pause to think when asked if he would do it all again if faced with a similar circumstance. “If I came upon it again, yes. I know that if I didn’t do anything, and he had passed away, I
wouldn’t have been able to live with myself,” Marklew expressed. “When I ran over there, I didn’t care — I had to get him out. He was talking to me. He was still alive. I wasn’t going to leave him there.” And while Marklew plans to take a few days to rest and relax, he knows he, his brother, the others on the scene, and the two men in the car are all very lucky that the events unfolded the way they did. He had to confess to his boss at Door Doctor that he needs to replace the brand new company cellphone that was half-melted during the incident; but, once the circumstances were made clear to his employer and colleagues, no one could fault him over the loss of a cellphone, Marklew said with a laugh.
“Our secretary said, ‘We going to have to get you a cape,’” he said, noting that it’s nice to laugh about it all now that it’s over. The idea of being heroic hadn’t even dawned on Marklew at the time, he said, and he’s just glad he and his brother chose to go outside to investigate when so many others would have remained safe inside. “We figure if we hadn’t gone outside, the father would be dead,” he said, noting that he hopes to never experience anything like the incident again. “I don’t think there was any conscious thought in it. I just knew I had to do it … and I’d want someone to do it for me if that happened to me.”

While Kingston's newest councillor takes his seat around the horseshoe, another may leave before term is up BY BILL HUTCHINS
Kingston’s newest councillor has taken his seat around the horseshoe. Gary Oosterhof was officially sworn in as the representative for Countryside district during a ceremony at the June 6 council meeting. He won the May 15 municipal byelection in a crowded field of seven candidates to fill a six month vacancy in the city’s rural district. “No. No,” Coun. Oosterhof told reporters prior to his swearing in ceremony when asked if he thought he’d ever be elected a councillor. He quickly added, “It’s a real thrill. It’s a day we’ve been looking forward to.” Coun. Oosterhof was front and centre during a brief ceremony at the start of the meeting, as the clerk presided over swearing-in formalities to administer the oath of allegiance and declaration of office. Several of his family members and friends watched from the spectator gallery, including former councillors Leonore Foster and George Sutherland. The ceremony, including a loud
introduction from Kingston town crier Chris Whyman, was followed by a standing ovation and some posing for pictures before the electrical contractor took his seat. “This is the first time this year we’re back at full strength with 13 people around the horseshoe,” observed Mayor Bryan Paterson. The mayor says Oosterhof was busy attending orientation sessions in the days before assuming his role, and he looks forwards to working with the newcomer. “We have some big decisions to make in the coming weeks. The third crossing special meeting, dealing with Kingston Penitentiary visioning and some other big files coming this fall,” the mayor added. As for the third bridge crossing debate, Coun. Oosterhof says he’s been hearing a lot of public feedback. “I am listening to both sides. I am in support of the bridge, but I really have learned a lot from those who’ve called and emailed me.” He added: “It’s not a simple decision. It’s a big decision and historic.” Continued on page 5

Meanwhile, as a new councillor was sworn in at city hall, another may leave before the term is up. Pittsburgh district Coun. Ryan Boehme says he wants to represent the Progressive Conservative Party in Kingston and The Islands in next year’s provincial election. “I want to be engaged. You can never really win unless you try. I’ve always wanted to be involved at every level,” said the first term councillor in advance of the party’s nomination meeting. Boehme will go up against former Kingston mayor Gary Bennett, retired RCMP officer Andy Brooke and volunteer Graeme Watson in the local Tory nomination meeting on June 11. Coun. Boehme says he was approached to try to make the jump to provincial politics. “It seems the community really likes my engagement level, my accessibility, my demeanour and how I handle issues and concerns.” Seeking a higher political office could put the councillor in a delicate situation should he win the party’s nomination. He can’t use resources that are currently available to him as a municipal councillor while campaigning in the provincial election. In fact, he indicated plans to step back from his municipal duties for a short time should he be chosen to represent the PCs in a riding that’s been Liberal for decades. “I will likely take some form of leave when the election writ drops during the campaign period.” Boehme would also have to resign his council seat should he go on to win next June’s Ontario election, leaving Pittsburgh residents without a councillor for a few months. The next municipal election is in fall 2018.
Councillor Ryan Boehme could possibly leave before the end of the next council term to represent the Progressive Conservative Party in the upcoming provincial election. Rob Mooy/Metroland

Say Cheese! New photo-op location coming to downtown Kingston in high profile places to encourage people to take photographs and to promote the community. For example, the giant letters that spell out ‘Toronto’ in Nathan Phillips Square have become a popular attraction. Ottawa has now done the same. The large letter Toronto sign was originally installed for the Pan Am Games, but proved so popular that it has remained in place. It has also generated 120 million social media impressions in the past year. But Knott says Kingston is taking the initiative one step further by allowing people to become part of the Kingston sign, which will also have the iconic ‘Spirit of Sir John A’ locomotive as a backdrop. “Ours is obviously going to be more interactive.”
BY BILL HUTCHINS
Kingston is a place that lends itself to many memorable photographs, whether it’s the natural scenery or architectural charm. And this summer, locals and visitors will have a much different backdrop for a picture. Kingston Accommodation Partners (KAP) is planning to set up a temporary, full size plywood sign that says ‘Kingston,’ but the ‘i’ will be missing. People will be encouraged to pose in the missing letter for a photo-op. “We are asking tourists and Kingstonians to take pictures and be the ‘i’ in Kingston,” said Megan Knott with KAP. The initiative is based on successful marketing campaigns that have used city names placed

Kingston,” added Tourism Kingston’s Chris Whyman, who’s also the Town Crier. Staff worked with various city departments, Heritage Kingston and Tourism Kingston to review the location, design, dimensions and lighting details and to address concerns regarding safety, maintenance, liability and accessibility. KAP will assume responsibility for the design, construction, installation and marketing of the sign. The installation will be made using painted crezone plywood and fastened to the ground with anchor bolts so it can withstand the elements through the summer and fall and will be stable. LEDs will also surround the installation so that it can be illuminated at night, staff explained. The only cost to the city is $1,000 to have an engineering inspect and approve the design and installation.

She says giving people another venue to snap a picture, and post it online, could bode well for the Limestone City as the initiative will be promoted through the social media hashtag #IamKingston. “You want to boast where you are and what you’re doing. This is one other element of tourist attractions.” Councillors approved the partnership with KAP by agreeing to install the large sign adjacent to the Visitor Information Centre on Ontario Street by June 27. It will remain in place until the end of October. Councillors asked if the sign could become an annual attraction. “Yes, I’d like to make it a permanent fixture of our landscape,” said Knott during a June 6 presentation to council. “I think it’s a great opportunity to promote

Brigade of canoes sets off on week-long adventure from Kingston June 24 BY RYLAND COYNE rcoyne@metroland.com
Canadians from coast to coast will gather in Kingston later this month, set to embark on a week-long trek to the nation’s capital via the historic Rideau Canal. Officially setting off from Rideau Acres campsite just north of the city on June 24, the ‘Canada 150 South Wind Voyageur Canoe Brigade’ will feature close to 140 paddlers in more than a dozen 26-foot voyageur canoes. Over the next seven days, they will make their way to Ottawa with overnight stops in small communities all along the waterway, eventually meeting up with participants from three other ‘brigades’ on July 1 who will be traveling to the capital from the East, West and North. The final destination will be Victoria Island on the Ottawa River, where the participants will join in a welcome ceremony organized by the Anishinaabe First Nation. “It’s a journey of reconciliation,” says Max Finkelstein, one of this country’s foremost paddlers and explorers, and one of the key organizers of the South Wind Brigade. According to Finkelstein, the first overnight stop along this adventure “if all goes well” will take place at Jones Falls (June 24). From there, the brigade will travel up to Newboro (June 25), Perth (June 26), Smiths Falls (June 27), Merrickville (June 28), Kemptville (June 29), past Manotick to the Black Rapids locks, the longest single-day stretch at 43 kilometres (June 30) and finally portaging the locks next to the Chateau
Laurier hotel in Ottawa to the Ottawa River. What will make this week all the more special will be the various welcome events and presentations planned at some of the destinations along the route. “We wanted to have as much community support as possible as well,” he said. In explaining the motivation for the event, the website (fourwindsbrigade.wordpress.com) notes it’s a chance to highlight the history of the voyageur canoe as well as the rivers and peoples who have played such key roles in helping build Canada to what it is today. “Traditionally, voyageur canoes carried cargo of furs and trade goods. But these canoes will carry a different kind of payload – ideas, hopes and dreams. Our mission is to draw attention to the need for everyone, from citizen advocacy to the highest political echelons to the spirit of reconciliation – we want to see a Canada where all cultures can work and live together in peace and harmony and justice, and to also highlight reconciliation with the ecosystems that support us.” “To me this will truly be a journey that brings peoples together,” Finkelstein said. While the South Wind Brigade is a mostly leisure event, there will be an opportunity for some participants looking for a little competition. On July 1, the group will be passing by the Rideau Canoe Club and have an opportunity to participate in their international Canada Day Regatta. “There will be voyageur canoe races around 10 in the morning,” he said. “For me it’s a bit historical” in that the last such races at the regatta go back 50 years. “Hopefully this can be the start of a new tradition.” After portaging around the Ottawa locks (“A good Canadian experience,” Finkelstein said)
the brigade will travel one kilometre along the Ottawa River to Victoria Island (Asinabke). Each of the brigades will bring a bottle of water “from what you consider the start of your journey,” he explained. Here, in the shadow of Parliament Hill, all participants will join in a special water ceremony, “a mixing of the waters to represent we’re all one nation.” Finkelstein, also a well-known author who
has chronicled many of his travels, says this is a unique way to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial by bringing Canadians together from all corners of the country. He points to the group’s mission of shining a light on “the spirit of reconciliation with Indigenous people” and “with the ecosystems along these waterways that support the life of all living creatures.”

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
#TrumpRussia is meddling with my marriage
They say that maternity leave can best be described as a time when the days are long and the weeks are short. This may be true most of the time — it certainly was for me the first time around — but when your maternity/ parental leave falls smack dab in the middle of the most wild and crazy news cycle ever, filling the days becomes a piece of cake. My six-month maternity leave began in mid-August. The first week, there was no baby yet and the Olympics were on and everybody was talking about the Tragically Hip. The worst thing that happened was swimmer Ryan Lochte went full Zoolander at a Brazilian gas station then lied about it. Everybody was up in arms about the fact that he lied — what a terrible thing for this rich, entitled, overprivileged American douchebag to do. Wow, were those ever innocent times. It wasn’t long before the American election started heating up. I followed it with interest but didn’t get too wrapped up, because, hey, it was a foregone conclusion, right? Of course Americans were not going to vote for someone who mocks disabled people, brags about assaulting women, calls Mexicans rapists and spent years spreading a shameful, racist conspiracy theory about President Obama’s place of birth. What happened in the months that followed profoundly changed my outlook on the world forever. I followed what was happening by reading news stories on my phone, but couldn’t bring
myself to watch a lot of CNN. Those were strange times, and I comforted myself by listening to the musical Hamilton over and over and reading a lot of fiction. The whole time, Steve kept trying to tell me that Trump didn’t legitimately win. Nope, not even the electoral college. Somehow, according to my husband, Vladimir Putin and his people employed ‘active measures’ to meddle with the election and tip the outcome in Trump’s favour. I rolled my eyes and told him not to say that to too many people, because he sounded like a crazy person. Then things started to develop, and people other than John Schindler and Louise Mensch (big stars on the #TrumpRussia scene) started Tweeting about Putin and Russia. By the time I went back to work and Steve started his parental leave in mid-February, legitimate news outlets were covering Trump/Russia — it WAS the story. Needless to say, being alone in the house with CNN and a baby all day as the Trump/Russia story continued to heat up did nothing to temper Steve’s obsession. I’d come home at the end of the day and he would excitedly fill me in about what was going on with Flynn and Sessions and Comey, and how there was a video somewhere of Trump urinating on Russian prostitutes — probably underage — that was being used as kompromat. “I know,� I’d say. “You’ve been texting me about this all day.� “Impeachment is coming, it won’t be long now,� I’ve heard on pretty much a daily basis.
I thought things would settle down when baseball season started up, because usually when that happens, the Jays are on at my house every single day. They didn’t. Even the Jays have been sidelined in favour of CNN and MSNBC (Steve ended up subscribing to the latter because all the people he follows on Twitter were talking about Rachel Maddow’s in-depth Trump/ Russia analysis and he felt left out). Recently, our household was excitedly counting down to Thursday, June 8, also known as “Comey day� — the day that former FBI director James Comey testified before Congress about President Trump, telling him to shut down the FBI’s investigation of the Trump/ Russia affair. I’ve been forced to admit that Steve seems to have been right all along and even I’ve gotten into it a bit. This era will surely be remembered as the craziest time in American history thus far, and here we are, watching it unfold before our eyes. It would make a really good movie. Too bad it’s reality. I have no predictions as to how this movie will end. Steve will tell you impeachment or resignation. There is no doubt in his mind. I’m not so sure. From what I’ve seen, the Trump apologists (and there are a lot of them) would defend the president even if he, as Anderson Cooper so eloquently put it, “took a dump on his desk in the Oval Office.� In the meantime — at least until August — Steve will be here watching, and filling everyone else in via text and Twitter.

ered as a city street. The widening process taking place is to provide faster through access past the city. Item 3 — Benefits of the new bridge Obviously, the new bridge will benefit more than just the local residents. Most transportation improvements end up benefiting the whole society, and that includes highways, railways and airports. Let us not be myopic. Item 4 — Competing projects

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, June 15, 2017
Intimidation won’t silence local media Note: The following was originally printed in the Brampton Guardian, but the sentiments can be applied to any municipality. A group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the local newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elected officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city website along with provided responses. Further, councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has also taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing “real news.� If it sounds reminiscent of the antics of President Donald Trump and his staff, that’s because there’s a strong and troubling parallel. This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a blatant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor, or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individuals can contact the press council. The National NewsMedia Council deals with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (including this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it very publicly. That’s not something everyone can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. There have been no formal complaints made regarding recent coverage of Brampton. Instead, this is about a group of councillors lashing out because they are upset with what strong local reporting has unearthed. Strong, independent reporting on behalf of the public has led to truthful and unflattering accounts of what has been transpiring at city hall. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spending. Claiming to put the press on notice is a poorly disguised attack on the fundamental freedoms laid out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which includes freedom of the press. Ultimately this is about control. Councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, independent and responsible media. That’s a scary development. Any attempt by elected officials to limit the free flow of information is an attack on the basic democratic principles our society upholds. It won’t work. Metroland is putting Brampton’s elected officials on notice: Media will not be intimidated by these thinly disguised bullying tactics. major project that is going to benefit the community should be owned and financed by the community. I do not like the public/private enterprise scheme where private enterprise gets involved in a project to make a profit off any development that serves the whole community. Item 6 — Information sessions I have attended enough meetings
and information sessions on the new bridge to accept that the information presented by city staff, supported by private consulting firms, is truthful. There are those that will object to anything presented simply to object and to be noticed.

Coming to Marysville on Wolfe Island? Consider this... BY MARG KNOTT
As Wolfe Island gears up for the busy summer season of activities and events, I was struck at just how busy the island already is. So much activity at the Wolfe Island Grill, with boats coming this way to make use of the new docks that were stored over the winter, and now are in place in spite of the still high water levels. And it’s a similar situation at the General Wolfe Inn. With their doors now open most days, and work progressing beautifully at the dock side the area is alive with people. And the WI Bakery , the WI Pub and Pizzeria, and Fargo’s Store, continue as important places to go. Along with the WI Information Centre, the Stone Heron Gallery, opening once again in the WI Township Community Hall for the summer, the “Old House” Museum, the Dreamcatcher B&B, Bill Speers “Cycle Wolfe Island” bicycle rental, and the WI Boat Club, all are on Main Street. And with the WI Community Garden and the Community Centre Grounds, (ball diamonds, covered rink, horse ring etc.) where the WI Music Festival takes place, ALL ARE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE FERRY, requiring NO Vehicle to get there, if physically able. Of course there are important locations all over the island, too numerous to mention, requiring transportation to get there. For instance Big Sandy
Part of the new patio construction at the General Wolfe Inn Marg Knott/Metroland
Bay, presently closed due to high water, and the international crossing to Cape Vincent via Horne's Ferry, and Riverfront Golf , the Corn Maze….. During the summer months the population of Wolfe Island increases from 1400 to perhaps 3000, when cottagers and summer residents return. That alone increases traffic on the ferry. But already this early in the season the lineups are long both sides, often leaving vehicles behind, not just on weekends. Add to that Emergency Calls causing the ferry to go off schedule. With no stop light in the village
when the ferry unloads, and non synchronized lights in Kingston, how can it stay on schedule? Consider too all the service vehicles, agricultural, construction, and the transport of water, waste, fuel etc., that must come and go to the island. Wolfe Island welcomes visitors to the island any time of year, to share in what it has to offer. But, if you coming this time of year to visit the village of Marysville specifically, and do not require a vehicle please consider leaving your vehicle behind in Kingston, and walk-on the ferry.
fouled Wolfe Island shores and waters. Mark, a lawyer, grew up spending summers swimming and fishing on Wolfe Island, where his family has owned property since the 1800’s. Watch for details of the Kingston and Wolfe Island Culture Festival (KWICF). Around Town: **Wolfe Island Fire & Rescue have issued a letter outlining the costs of required equipment with thanks for donations. It reminded resident that the WI service is a volunteer department and required to have the same equipment as career fire fighters, ensuring resident safety but that of the fire fighters as well. It noted that a new Hurst Jaw for Life tool cost $13,000, pads for defibrillators cost $200 each, and bunker suits, good only for 10 years, cost $2,300. “You can see how important your donations are,” the letter said. ** Work is well underway at the site of the Senior Apartment Project in spite of rain earlier in the week. ** Linda Thomas spoke on behalf of the WI Feral Cat group on CBC radio morning about the successes and benefits for the cats. Worth a listen. Islanders have cared for feral cats for many years. ** Water levels remain high. Concern raised with the Big Sandy Bay sensitive sand dune erosion , and the no beach situation.

B. Lake Ontario Water Keeper- A delegation from Lake Ontario Water Keeper will attend Frontenac Islands June council meeting to inform council of the schedule for a seven week celebration of the Great Lakes, The Kingston & Wolfe Island Culture Festival . Through story and song, it will begin with the Wolfe Island Festival the Arts by Dave Bidini, and end with the Wolfe Island Music Festival, organized by Virginia Clark . They will seek council’s input into what other areas of the island can be promoted during the festival. The Kingston and Wolfe Island Festival will feature the art, history science and nature of the area to foster new connections with water. The themes of each week will look at how Wolfe Island, and Kingston, provide an example “ of all that the Great Lakes can provide in swimmable, drinkable, fishable future.” Lake Ontario Waterkeeper is a Canadian charity aimed at keeping the province’s water systems clean. ,It is part of Robert F. Kennedy , Jr.’s Waterkeeper Alliance, to ensure waterways worldwide are protected. Lake Ontario Waterkeeper was founded in 2001 by Mark Mattson and Kingston’s Kristyn Tully, following the water tragedy in Walkerton Ontario, where Mark had served as counsel for a public interest environmental group. At about the same time there was a terrible sewage spill in Kingston that

All have had the opportunity to attend the meetings or look at the information presented. And, yes, citizens have to accept the fact that not all have the knowledge or the time to examine all issues in minute detail. That is why we citizens pay responsible staff, administrators, and in the end, the politicians who will make the decisions. Item 7 — Urban sprawl The new bridge crossing will not cause urban sprawl. City policy has determined that spaces not yet filled in between existing residential and business/industrial areas must be filled in before any new areas are opened for new development. In Pittsburgh Township, the drainage area of Butternut Creek must be completely developed (before) any further development eastward will (be) allowed. Item 8 — LaSalle Causeway maintenance
The LaSalle Causeway, as of yet, is officially owned by the federal government through its harbours and navigable waterways department. It is the federal government that pays to maintain the causeway. Realistically, I suspect the federal government would like to unload the LaSalle Causeway. The lift bridge has very little use since the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the elimination of the small canallers that used to be tied up to the causeway wharf during the winter season. The inner harbour is no longer considered by the federal government of major significance. It does serve the small dry dock operation and the commercial boat building industry. Be careful of complaining too much, or the federal government might simply eliminate the lift span, put in a fixed third bridge and transfer ownership either to the city or the province. I hope all who read this will seriously question Mr. McDonald's arguments. George Dillon, Kingston

“Everyone can learn it, and even if you don’t know, you are in a group and you can copy until you learn,” said Kirkham. “It is hard sometimes, but your body learns. The body takes over and you just feel your body move. It is amazing.” Many of the community members that joined Kirkham echoed these sentiments, and for Margaret Little, tai chi actually changed her life. “I have been doing tai chi for over 20 years and I came to it because I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis,” she explained. Originally, Little was put on harsh medication to treat her arthritis, including chemotherapy drugs, but then she tried tai chi. Members of the Kingston Taoist Tai Chi group put on a demonstra-
tion in Market Square on June 8 to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Mandy Marciniak/Metroland

City unveils aerial maple leaf tree project to mark Canada 150 BY MANDY MARCINIAK
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
If you are flying over Kingston in the coming years, you may notice a unique pattern of maple trees in the city. “As part of the city’s celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial we have 150 maple trees planted across the city in the shape of a giant maple leaf,” explained Mayor Bryan Paterson. “I think that it is a great legacy and it will remind generations to come of our celebrations here in 2017.” Paterson unveiled a plaque at Trillium Ridge Park to commemorate the project on June 8 and while he wasn’t sure where
the idea for the trees came from, he was happy to see it executed. “I think it is a fantastic idea and I think it is a great illustration of our pride, here in Kingston, for Canada,” he said. “Maple trees live for many years and it will be nice for generations to come to enjoy them.” At Trillium Ridge Park, 15 of the 150 trees have been planted and each is marked with a special Kingston 150 banner identifying it as a sesquicentennial tree. For a list of the trees planted and a map of the giant maple leaf visit https://www. cityofkingston.ca/explore/sesquicentennial/kingston-moments/-/blogs/city-toplant-150-trees-to-mark-sesquicentennial

City hall to be washed in red-and-white on Canada Day weekend BY BILL HUTCHINS
Kingston is getting ready to light up the square later this month. City offi cials say the illumination of city hall, Springer Market Square and the fountain in Confederation Park will debut in time for Canada’s 150 birthday celebrations. “I think it’s pretty safe to say it’ll be a red and white theme. We can also probably look forward to seeing some maple leaf motifs on the building,” explained cultural services director Colin Wiginton. At their June 6 meeting, councillors approved the launch of the sesquicentennial legacy lighting project that will occur throughout the Canada Day long weekend, from June 30 to July 2. Mayor Bryan Paterson, who will fl ip the light switch for the inaugural display on the evening of June 30, says the city is hoping to attract thousands of people downtown for the sesquicentennial celebrations. “We are looking forward to an amazing festival weekend. Every hotel room in this city is booked solid.” The fi xed light show will be similar to what was used during the Tragically Hip’s homecoming concert last August, viewed by an estimated 25,000 people in the square. But this time, the lighting system will be per-

manent. The $544,000 budget for the new programmable lighting system, featuring dozens of LEDs and digital projectors pointing at city hall and surrounding public areas, was already endorsed by council earlier this year. But they had to approve the inaugural display in the absence
of a special lighting policy that hasn’t been finished. In addition to consulting with Heritage Kingston, staff will consult with the public through an online survey and a public meeting to seek input as to how the new programmable lighting system should be used to showcase Kingston City Hall and to
highlight community events, celebrations and issues of local signifi cance in the future. “So there is the opportunity for council to pre-approve times when the system will be used,” said Wiginton. He says the new policy will allow the public to make requests around
awareness campaigns such as ‘respect the pink.’ “A request could come in to light the building in pink one night. We need to have a policy that allows us to manage that,” he added. Nearly 60 low energy LEDs are being installed around city hall, each with built in receivers that can be programmed to showcase a variety of colours and lighting intensity, plus projectors that can flash multiple images on the surface of the historic 1840s building and square. “You literally have millions of colour combinations,” said Wiginton. Similar lighting is already used to illuminate major global landmark attractions such as the CN Tower, the Eiffel Tower and Empire State building. The LEDs will replace the outdated bulbs that currently light up city hall. Offi cials say given the complex nature of the newly-installed LEDs more testing will be done after the Canada Day weekend to fine tune the system. Meanwhile, a new policy establishing guidelines for illuminating Kingston City Hall and the adjoining areas for future events is scheduled to be presented to committee and council for review and approval in July.

Field hockey players and coach prepare to represent Kingston in national competition BY MANDY MARCINIAK
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
Field Hockey may be a newer and lesser-known sport in Kingston, but eight players and their coach are working to change that. This summer, eight players from the Kingston Field Hockey Club, the Kingston Royals, will travel to Surrey, British Colombia to compete in the national championships. They will represent Ontario on the Eastern team and they are excited to compete at a higher level. “It is really exciting. We are used to just playing for fun against the schools and so playing at this level is more intense and faster too,” said Claire Lyons, a member of the U18 team. Left to right: Coach Rachelle Seguin, Brielle Murphy, Claire Lyons, Ni“I am interested to see how we do, but I really just want to learn cole Skolnick, Charlotte Coffey, Lexi Hannah, Jenna Churchill-Anderson, Gracie Knapp-Hermer, and Olivia Craig (front) will travel to British and grow as a player.” Four players will play on the Colombia for the National Field Hockey Championships in July.

It gives a good sense of community and there is so much opportunity for growth within the sport here in Kingston.” Seguin hopes that the girls perform well at the championships, but overall she just hopes they learn and come out with positive experi-

Students 'engage for change’, put projects on display at city hall BY MANDY MARCINIAK
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
As Canada approaches its 150th birthday, many celebrations have been planned, but this year is also one filled with reflection on the past. For students in grades 7 and 8 throughout the Kingston area, that reflection has been a key part of their historical learning over the past year. Since September 2016, students from nine classes across the Limestone District School Board have engaged in an inquiry-based learning program focused on reconciliation. The students were asked to answer a question: What are possible next steps moving forward on the path of reconciliation between indigenous and nonindigenous people in Kingston and across Canada, and why is this important? “It is a tough topic, an unknown topic, even for adults, and at first we didn’t really know where to start the discussion,” explained Terri-Lynn Brennan, program co-ordinator, cultural services with the City of Kingston, who spearheaded the project. “As a Mohawk woman myself, I had some input as to where this could go; but, as someone
with the City of Kingston and the school board. The idea was to highlight reconciliation in the community and work with the local indigenous community through the ideas of equity versus equality, the United Nations Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canada's legacy of residential schooling, the 60s Scoop, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and its 94 Calls to Action. The focus was on inquirybased learning, and teachers who volunteered to run the project in their classrooms let the students explore topics they were interested in. “It has been an amazing journey. Each student took their own approach and the topics range throughout,” said Brennan. “For Grade 7 and 8 students, aged 11 to 13, it is a time in their lives when they are starting to really think about identity and what that is, and so it has really helped drive home for these students the concepts and ideas of the indigStudents Julia Rouleau and Faith Wagar from Molly Brant Elementary School with their Engage for Change enous legacy in Canada.” Some students even learned projects at Memorial Hall on June 5.

Kingston police are reminding the public not to judge a book by its cover after some ‘bad-looking bikers’ came to the aid of an officer in trouble. Police say in a press release that it all started when a 46-year-old local man attacked and injured an officer after he was confronted over three outstanding warrants. On June 7, Const. Fil Wisniak was on bicycle patrol in the area of Princess and Bagot streets when he recognized the accused as someone who was wanted.Police say that at approximately 2 p.m. Wisniak approached the man and advised him of the warrants. He attempted to flee and when the officer moved to stop him, police say they struggled and fell to the ground. Police say that while some citizens stood by to film the attack on the officer, two others came to the rescue. Two retired military police officers riding by on their Harleys noticed Wisniak get off
his bike and approach the man. When they saw the attack, they quickly jumped off their rides, ran across the street and pulled the man off the officer, who was on his back with the accused on top him. With the assistance of the retired officers, the suspect was taken to the ground and held under control until other officers arrived. While some citizens continued to film the incident with their phones, the man was brought under control and handcuffed.He was transported to police headquarters where he was held to attend a bail hearing the following day.He was charged with assault police, resist arrest, and breach of probation.Wisniak suffered a minor injury as a result of the attack. Kingston police say in the release that they would like to thank these two men for coming to the aid of one of their officers, noting that the military and police share a strong common bond of serving and protecting.

Wolfe Island group receives grant to continue being ‘friends of ferals’ BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com
A couple of years ago, Wolfe Island residents noticed that more and more feral cats were popping up on the island. They realized that they had to do something about it, so they called a meeting. “We had over 20 people come out and we were surprised to see such a response,” explained Linda Thomas, one of the founders of Wolfe Island Friends of Ferals. “Through that meeting, we identifi ed the colonies and who had been looking after the cats, and we got to work immediately.” That meeting was a year and a
half ago, and Thomas estimates cated volunteers, Thomas and that nearly 600 feral cats were on her group have been working to the island at that time. The cats spay or neuter and vaccinate the came from a variety of locations, cats on the island. and many of them were the prod“We fundraise as much as we uct of mating among the colo- can and then we have members nies; but, it is also not uncommon that trap cats every Sunday affor people to drop cats off on the ternoon, and then they take the island. ferry over to the vet, and we pick “I think because it is rural, them up on Thursdays and bring people see barns and they think them back,” explained Thomas. they can just drop their cat off to “We are doing about four a week go and catch mice,” said Thomas. now, and in total, we have done “We also get people dropping lit- about 220 cats in just over a year.” ters of cats off and abandoning Cats are returned to the colothem.

“We have been working with the Cat Café to rehome some of the cats and that has been amazing,” said Thomas. “It was our dream to be able to give them new homes and the café allows us to do that in a much easier way.” Recently, the group also received a grant from the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area to help with their vet costs, and they were grateful for the support. “We received $4,000, and that is a lot of tarts and fundraising,” said Thomas. “That took a big
load off of us in terms of fundraising, and we are happy to be able to continue our efforts.” For Thomas, helping the cats is second nature — and although she loves animals, she also feels that it is just the right thing to do, given the situation. “They deserve this type of treatment. We need to take care of them properly, because they deserve it,” she said. “They are no less alive than I am.” Thomas has also received great feedback from residents on the island about the work that
has been done, and that inspires her to keep going, too. “The comment we’ve had that surprised me is that people have noticed a change in the village. There isn’t as much yowling and spraying in the village,” she said. “That really has an impact, and that works to develop the area and make it more enjoyable for tourists and the villagers, and we want to continue to do that.” For more information about Wolfe Island Friends of Ferals, visit their website at https:// friendsofferals.wordpress.com.

measuring electrical voltage and resistance on various circuits and wiring harnesses. Some of them only take a few minutes; some can take hours, and in rare cases some may take more than a full day of work to get to the bottom of things. And there aren’t really any shortcuts. A tech may face the same trouble code on the same model with the same fi x day after day, but the first time he or she assumes the next chapter will end with the same conclusion, the customer will be back because their CEL came on again. Add to this the fact that some components and their wiring aren’t easily accessible for testing and you get an idea why the bills can climb. One of the hardest conditions to get fi xed right the fi rst time is evaporative system small leaks. As emissions regulations restrict the amount of fuel vapors that a vehicle can emit, today’s vehicles have a very complicated system of controls and monitors. When a small leak code comes up, tracing it down to the leak’s source can be a time consuming and difficult process even with the proper test equipment and an experienced tech. As a vehicle ages, things can get worse. Many of the electrical systems and components operate on low voltages and resistance factors. When wiring harnesses collect corrosion they can affect these values leading to, you guessed it, more CELs.

Molasses held many uses and many memories
You could smell molasses at Briscoe’s General Store, once you got by the row of cookies in their tilted boxes at the front. There was no attempt made to shut out the smells that filled the store, and coal oil, rubber boots, maple cookies, rolls of yard goods, and of course, molasses aromas met you as soon as you opened the door. Even if Mother didn’t want molasses that day, I would still head to the back of the store, where a pail sat on a narrow bench, with a tin ladle resting on a chipped saucer, where customers could fill little honey pails with as much molasses as they needed. And if no one was looking, I would run my finger onto the saucer, capturing some that had stayed with the ladle used by the last customer. Of course molasses filled all sorts of purposes at home. It would be poured into Mother’s home-made Boston baked beans, a recipe that was passed around Northcote, a recipe that was said to turn out the best baked beans in the entire county! All the time the beans were baking, Mother kept testing them with
a spoon, and she would add just a bit more molasses, until they were exactly as she wanted them. Soon the smell of the molasses overpowered the chunk of salt pork pushed down into the beans, and all you could smell was molasses. Father never considered his pipe tobacco ready to smoke until he had added a couple spoons of molasses. He bought leafs as big as fry pans, and he had a tobacco cutter attached to a board, which he used to cut the leaves into small pieces. And then with his bare hands he would mix the molasses into the tobacco. Of course, it all had to dry out before it was fit for his pipe. So it was spread out onto a cookie sheet and put in the warming-closet at the top of the Findlay Oval. And there it sat, with Father running his hands through it until it was dry enough to smoke in his pipe. Sometimes Father would get a package of pipe tobacco at the store, but when he used it instead of what he mixed at home, it never smelled the same. You knew right away, there was no molasses in the bought package. It wasn’t unusual for one of us five children to come down with what was called the grippe. Of course, that wasn’t serious enough an ailment to call either Mrs. Beam or bring old Doctor Murphy out from Renfrew. So when it happened that one of us, or sometimes the whole lot of us, complained of a stomachache, out would come the molasses. It wasn’t above Emerson to complain
of what he would call “ a sickish feeling” just to be dosed with Mother’s special molasses treatment. It was a real treat, and no one complained when Mother mixed up a glass of cold water with baking soda and a spoonful of molasses. It fizzed up just like a drink from a bottle of KIK bought at Briscoe’s General Store. Whether it did anything for a sick stomach was a good question, but it was certainly a ‘cure’ we all looked forward to. And every Spring, just to give us what Mother called “ a good cleanout”, we’d be treated to one of her molasses concoctions. Not one of us complained, even when the drink sent us scurrying to the outhouse, which was its main purpose.
Molasses went into muffins and cookies and was drizzled over bread-pudding. A special treat for me was when Mother was using molasses in one of her many dishes, and I was allowed to lick the spoon. At a time when there was little money for special treats like store-bought ice cream, or even a box of cracker-jacks, we could always count on a taste of molasses to take the sting out of those lean years, called The Depression.

Water of life: exploring spirits Whiskey comes by its name honestly. Originally known in Latin as aqua vitae, meaning water of life, whiskey has many health benefits. Irish monks of the early Middle Ages named it uisce beatha, Irish Gaelic for water of life. The pronounced sound of uisce (uisge in Scots Gaelic) resembles “whiskey.” There are two spellings, depending on country of origin. In Ireland and the United States, which both have an “e” in the
country name, whiskey is also Two of the most well known are spelled with an “e.” Everywhere the Manhattan and the mint julep. else, especially in the dominant The Manhattan is a great cocktail, whisky-producing nations — but few places make a good one.

sub par, Pogues Irish Whiskey is a gem. For those who care, this whiskey is a blend of 50 per cent ten-year single malt Irish whiskey aged in sherry oak casks and seven-year-old single malt whiskey aged in bourbon oak casks and 50 per cent four-year Irish grain whiskey aged in bourbon oak casks. It’s smooth and it’s intense. It’s produced by West Cork Distilleries, one of the last independent distillers in the country, in Skibereen, the most Irish of towns. According to the drink’s website, the distiller is the only Irish whiskey producer to malt its own barley, which gives them great control over the final flavour. They use local grains along with spring water from the River Ilen. The whiskey is created in small batches in copper stills. Copper stills are used for more than one reason. It is believed that copper reacts with alcohol at the molecular level to give it a better taste. We know that copper reacts with sulphur, which has a horrible taste and is naturally created when yeast ferments. Copper binds with the sulphur, thus removing it from the fi nal alcohol product. This means that copper stills need to be cleaned and scrubbed after each use, in order to remove the accumulated copper sulphate.

at Churchill Downs, I asked our server how they made their traditional mint julep. “Our mint juleps are old school,” said the server. “We use mostly bourbon and add a mint leaf.” She paused for a moment, then added: “Actually, that’s all we do. Bourbon. Mint leaf. Ice.” There you have it. Keep it simple. Why ruin a good thing? I love the taste of (most) whiskey. There’s a touch of cruelty in me telling you my favourite whiskey, as it’s not available in Canada, unless you carry it in yourself. A year or two ago, Pogues Irish Whiskey — named after the great Irish band — was first imported into the United States. It’s not available in Canada, and it can be diffi cult to find in the States. It’s both smooth and gritty, maintaining a certain delightful smokiness to it. It won’t burn your throat on the way down and it has one of the best aftertastes I’ve found in a spirit. I don’t drink a lot. Maybe an ounce or two, enjoyed three or four times a week. If I drink more, I have an absolute rule: no driving. The Pogues Irish Whiskey has no relation to Old Pogue Kentucky Bourbon, named after the owners, the Pogue family. Unlike many celebrity-sponsored drinks, which often seem
2014 CLUB CAR PRECEDENT STREET - CUSTOMIZED
The fi rst Canadian distillery was founded in 1769 in Quebec City. Canada is famed for good whisky, probably because during Prohibition, the only whisky available in North America was Canadian, which gave us a huge jump on the market for decades to come. Seagram’s, Canadian Club, Black Velvet, and Crown Royal are popular all around the world, just not in my house. If I do choose a Canadian corporate whisky, it would hands-down be Wiser’s. Canadian whisky tends to have a rye flavour, usually being distilled from rye or corn and aged in oak barrels for at least three years (to be called whisky, the minimum length of time for aging is a legal requirement). Canada also has a fair share of microdistilleries. I’ve recently discovered a nearby craft distillery along the St. Lawrence River: King’s Lock Craft Distillery. Not long ago, the term moonshine was used to describe high-proof distilled spirits, typically produced illegally. I won’t even go into the absurdity that was Prohibition, but it certainly did wonders for Canadian production of spirits. King’s Lock Craft Distillery produces a product called moonshine.

Water of life: exploring spirits Continued from page 32
I believe the story goes that they wanted to sell their creation without the government-mandated aging time. So, instead of calling it whisky, they’ve branded it “moonshine.” As whiskey ages, the taste becomes smoother. It loses the feeling of fl ames on your throat. But that’s only true of the oak barrel aging. Once it’s bottled, that aging process stops. So if you have a bottle of fi ve-year aged whiskey in your cupboard, and it’s been sitting there for 20 years, it has not continued to develop. It will still taste like whiskey that’s been aged for fi ve years.So what’s with the King’s Lock Moonshine’s good taste, despite no aging? Search me, but it’s pretty good for something just out of the distillery. You don’t have to worry about strange ingredients; King’s Lock uses entirely organic products. If you’re a lover of spirits, take the short ride to King’s Lock Craft Distillery in Johnstown, located along the St. Lawrence River, quite close to where Highway 401 and Highway 416 meet. You’ll find gin, vodka, rye and moonshine crafted on-site. The Toronto Distillery also launched a moonshine-style whisky, called Organic Ontario Wheat
Spirit, about three of four years ago. I haven’t tasted it yet, but I look forward to giving it a try. Since distilled alcohol is clear, what gives whiskey its beautiful amber colour? Part of the colour comes from the malted grain(s) themselves. That colour is refined and deepened in the oak barrels in which the whiskey is aged. With more time, more beautiful colour. Unfortunately, the golden hue can also come from colouring added after the fact. Never get a whiskey-lover started on the debate (usually more of an argument) over which is better, single malt or blends. I’ve heard those discussions go on at length. Almost all single malts are actually blends, so it strikes me as an irrelevant argument. True, they are produced by one distillery, rather than mixing malts from different distilleries, but there are few true single malts in existence. Regardless, personal taste preference is a wasted argument. Here’s the clincher for reasons for (moderate) whiskey consumption. It’s good for you. Whiskey has no fat content. It is high in ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant, and fights the free radicals that contribute to dementia. Whiskey is good for your heart. I have to emphasize
again that the studies all refer to moderate, not high, consumption of whiskey, moderate being defined as no more than two or three ounces per day. With this kind of intake, whiskey drinkers have a 50 per cent lower chance of suffering from a stroke or heart attack. The ellagic acid in whiskey is also a powerful cancer-fighter. Ellagic acid neutralizes the free radicals that can lead to cancer (and heart disease, dementia and premature aging). Whiskey has also been shown to improve the body’s ability to regulate insulin and glucose. The caution here: If you are drinking whiskey to get a high, you are drinking too much. If you find you need more and more whiskey to feel satisfied, you are drinking too much. Remember the guideline: No more than two or three ounces per day at the most. If you’d like to learn more about whiskey/whisky, the website whisky.com has some great information from a Scotch perspective. Information on the health benefi ts of whiskey can be found at organicfacts.net. ‘Scuse me, I have to end here and go pour myself a couple of fingers of Pogues’ finest.

Gadot brings comic book character Wonder Woman to life My Take MARK HASKINS
MOVIE: Wonder Woman STARRING: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, Danny Huston and David Thewlis DIRECTOR: Patty Jenkins
RATING: PG Comic book fans, DC fans, and especially Wonder Woman fans — you can all stop holding your breath. They finally got one right. Wonder Woman is good. Diana (Gal Gadot) was raised on the mystical island of Themyscira. Her mother, Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), told her the stories of the gods. In particular the story of how Ares waged war against the gods killing them all until he was stopped by Zeus. However, Ares wasn't dead so Zeus used the last of his power to create a weapon that would finally defeat Ares.

Trained by her aunt Antiope (Robin Wright) Diana became a skilled warrior, but she still wasn't prepared for when the outside world invaded her home. Steve Trevor's (Chris Pine) plane crashes just off the island with the Germans close behind him. Diana rescues him, but the Germans attack. The Amazons defeat the Germans in the ensuing battle, but Antiope dies protecting Diana. Steve explains to the Amazons that The Great War is sweeping across the world. He was on his way to London with information regarding German Commander Ludendorff (Danny Huston) and his pet scientist Dr. Maru (Elena Anaya). They've created a new weapon that will change the course of the war. Diana sees the hand of Ares at work. She takes Steve back to the outside world so she can face Ares. Diana is eager to test herself, but she has a lot to learn about the modern world and herself before she's ready to face Ares. The biggest problem with the DC movie universe is that the films try to do too much. They are too long, they go off on unnecessary tangents, and they often don’t make sense. Wonder Woman doesn't have any of those issues. It's a tightly focused story. The visuals are breathtaking.
It's well balanced between the superhero action you crave, and the dramatic scenes that give it that sense of being epic. In the cast we have some brilliant performances. Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, Said Taghmaoui, Ewen Bremner, Eugene Brave Rock, Danny Huston and Elena Anaya portray the best and worst of humanity. Then you have David Thewlis who has the most surprising performance of all as Sir Patrick. Chris Pine's character is Diana's guide in the modern world. He opens her eyes to the worst in humanity and shows her the best. It's a griping performance that helps ground the movie, and makes it feel real. The expectations for playing an icon like Wonder Woman are extremely high. You can't just look the part you have to live and breathe it. Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman. The one problem with the film is that it's an origin story. Often the origin story feels like what you have to sit through to get to the real story. The upside is Wonder Woman is worth sitting through, and leaves you looking forward to the next one. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Making a family move easier Whether or not to relocate can be a difficult decision. Sometimes such decisions are borne out of necessity when a parent is relocated by his or her company. Other times it is a personal reason to try out a new neighborhood or upgrade to a larger home. Whatever the reason is behind a move, it can take some time to adjust to both the idea of moving and the new living space — especially for children who may seem disconnected from the decision. The following tips can make the transition a little easier for families. Talk about it Do not blindside children with a move. Begin having conversations as a family as soon as the possibility of moving arises. Involve the children in some of the decisions. Ask about the features they want to see in their new home. Explain that people, be it prospective buyers, real estate agents or movers, will be visiting your current home and that this may be a little disruptive. Talk about the reasons for the move, such as a new job or that the family has outgrown the space. Kids can process much more than many adults give them credit for.
Make these the fi rst items that are unpacked upon moving into the new house. Use the agent as a resource Many real estate agents live in the towns where they make their living. Find out if the agent can set up a meet-and-greet or if he or she knows of any clubs or leagues that suit your family’s interests. Making a few introductions ahead of time will give children and adults some familiar faces on their first days in their new home. Families shouldn’t shy away from making their own introductions as well. Knocking on a few neighbors’ doors and letting them know a new family is coming to the street can pave the way for familiarity and friendships. Stay in touch Encourage children to stay in touch with their current friends. Video chat enables kids to see and speak with peers. When things settle after the move, arrange for a surprise play date where children can introduce their old friends to newer ones.
Discuss any concerns Children may have concerns about the move that differ from adults’. Many of these may pertain to fears about making new friends or coursework at a new school. Let them voice their opinions. Removing some of the mysteries by visiting schools or local hangouts before the move is made can assuage some fears.
Stick to a routine One of the ways to breed familiarity is to stick to the same routine. If a big Sunday family dinner was the norm, continue the tradition in your new home. Wake in the morning and go to bed at the same time. According to Vanessa Lapointe, a registered psychologist in Surrey, British Columbia, structure and routine are key for children. Try to focus on one new thing at a time to minimize stress.
Create some familiarity Set aside boxes or bins that will house kids’ toys or things that the family recognizes. These may include photographs, games, throw blankets, or the creature comforts of home.
Moving can be exciting and scary at the same time. Children may be anxious about the process, but families can work together to iron out the kinks and settle into their news homes successfully.
