Meal shelter gets temporary reprieve from closure

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – A Kingston dropin and meal program that was slated to close at the end of the year is getting a one-year extension.

The Gathering Place on Patrick Street, a Salvation Army-operated shelter that opened in 2006, was supposed to have its municipal funding cut off December 31 as part of the city’s shift to a Housing First model of helping the homeless.

However, city councillors decided to extend the agency’s funding in order to provide a “transition” period to introduce the new housing and homelessness funding system.

“Where are the people going to go if The Gathering Place closes?” wondered Coun. Rob Hutchison.

Kingston’s new model aims to reallocate provincial and municipal dollars away from a handful of emergency support groups to focus instead on finding permanent housing for those living in poverty. Among those agencies “not identified as a program priority area” is The Gathering Place, a drop-in shelter that allows clients to get a warm meal, have a shower, do laundry and access other agency supports.

“Client data and statistics from the Charlotte Gowdy and Shane Carty star in Theatre Kingston’s production of Venus In Fur, on stage at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts until December 7. The play promises to be the hottest theatre Gathering Place program indicate that the majority of clients accessing their meal

program are not homeless but are living in poverty,” according to Lanie Hurdle, the commissioner who oversees the city’s social assistance programs.

However, Hurdle says it important that clients don’t fall through the social safety net during the time it takes for the city to establish its Housing First model.

Therefore, she recommended to the outgoing council Nov. 18 that The Gathering Place remain open next year.

It was approved by council unanimously.

The Gathering Place will get an immediate cash injection of about $29,000 to ensure it remains open for the first three of months of 2015 with the understanding it will get further municipal subsidies to continue its work through the entire year. It will be up to the next council to approve further funding from April to December 2015.

Some councillors also voiced concerns that crime in the neighbourhood could escalate once the shelter closes.

Coun. Hutchison says there is “considerable concern” that drug use and vandalism could increase once The Gathering Place closes for good.

Coun. Jim Neill says he’d like the next council to explore ways to find sustainable funding for shelters like The Gathering Place that don’t fit in with the new funding model. “If it isn’t operational there will be an impact on the neighbourhood.”

After a long day of holiday shopping...

Outgoing council denied chance to launch election investigation Reporter

But it won’t be Coun. Glover’s motion anymore. He’s among seven current council members either retiring or defeated as a result of the election.

He maintains there was “widespread” voter discontent over the way the election was handled.

Complaints began to surface hours before the polls closed at 8pm amid reports that some voters encountered long line-ups and decide not to vote. There were also reports that some polling stations were forced to stay open later to accommodate voters which, in turn, led to the slow posting of election results. The

clerk’s office, which oversees civic elections, did not certify the voting results until after midnight.

Coun. Glover isn’t sure whether city officials or the company that was contracted to provide the election machinery and remote voting technology was responsible.

The tone of his failed motion wasn’t to assign blame, but to make recommendations to improve the voting process when the next election occurs in 2018.

City managers are also in the process of preparing a post-election report, but it likely won’t be finished until early in the New Year.

Kingston Heritage – City council is winding down its term in a manner that many observers have come to expect - political acrimony and a split vote.

It stemmed from an attempt to conduct an independent investigation into the handling of Kingston’s municipal election process. The review was quashed, but it may return to a future council agenda.

At the final meeting of the council term Nov. 18, Coun. Bill Glover introduced a motion to hire a third party investigator to look into complaints of long line-ups at some polling stations and delays in counting the ballots on election night October 27. He also wants to find out why city staff were pulled off their regular jobs and re-assigned to polling station duties – a job normally handled by volunteer citizens who are recruited and trained as returning officers.

However, his motion never made it to a vote after it was ruled out of order by Mayor Mark Gerretsen.

“We don’t have the authority to proceed,” Gerretsen noted, adding that his ruling was based on advice provided by the city solicitor and the clerk’s office.

The outgoing council is currently in a ‘lame duck’ status and is not allowed to authorize spending of more than $50,000 according to provincial rules. Coun.

Glover’s motion could exceed the spend-

ing limit, the mayor explained. “We can’t do something that runs the risk of being illegal.”

The procedural ruling triggered a challenge to the chair, as Coun. Glover tried to get enough council votes to overturn the mayor’s decision.

“There’s no money mentioned in this,” Coun. Glover argued.

He says his investigative motion would only start a process that the next council could finish. “We don’t know how much we’re spending,” he added.

Mayor Gerretsen used the same logic to argue why launching an election probe with an uncertain dollar amount is a risky proposal at this time.

Challenging the chair, a seldom-used procedural tactic, requires the support of two-thirds of council in order to change the mayor’s ruling. The vote was 6-5 in support of the mayor’s ruling.

Those siding with the mayor; Mayor Gerretsen and councillors Sandy Berg, Kevin George, Bryan Paterson, Brian Reitzel and Liz Schell.

Those voting for Glover’s challenge; councillors Glover, Rick Downes, Rob Hutchison, Jim Neill and Lisa Osanic.

Councillors Dorothy Hector and Jeff Scott were absent.

While the challenge was defeated, the mayor encouraged someone on the next council to bring the motion forward again when its spending powers are restored. “It can come back to the next council.”

City, CSC feud over heritage protection of waterfront mansion and villa

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Correctional Services Canada (CSC) is ready to square off with the city over the planned sale of several 19th century waterfront buildings – including the home of Kingston’s first mayor.

CSC operated its regional correctional headquarters out of the historical buildings, but relocated its offices to a new building on Union Street a few years ago. The prized buildings are now vacant, but a new heritage designation could hamper efforts to ready them for sale.

“They will remain vacant until they can be divested,” said Chris Vandyk, a property analyst at CSC.

The city’s attempts to impose too many heritage restrictions on the federally-owned property could hamper the future sale and redevelopment of the 3.5 hectare property, located west of the new Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, Vandyk informed council Nov. 18.

The city has served notice of its intent to designate St. Helen’s house at 440 King Street West and Stone Gables house at 462 King Street West for their “cultural heritage value.” While Corrections Canada has no issue designating the exterior of the buildings, it does have concerns about trying to preserve many of the interior features as well.

St. Helen’s is an 1837-built yellow brick and stucco villa that was once home to Thomas Kirkpatrick,

Kingston’s first mayor and hosted Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, in 1860 as a guest. It has elements of Regency, Edwardian and Victorian in its design.

The waterfront property also includes The Red Cross Lodge and Grand-Morton House.

It’s one of the last and best preserved examples of large country estates that once lined King Street West, according to experts.

Next door is Stone Gables, a large Tudor Revival style stone mansion with cast-iron fencing, setback from King Street, built as a private residence in the 1920’s.

The planned designation of St. Helen’s is the focus of dispute. The city wants to protect interior features such as fireplaces, doorways, the staircase and main door from any future alterations unless they are first approved by the heritage committee and council.

“A shift in heritage protection limits their options,” Vandyk explained.

CSC is in the process of transferring the prime surplus land to its real estate arm, Canada Lands Company, for sale.

Vandyk says CSC has tried to work with the heritage committee and city staff to develop protection guidelines that will suit both sides, but he says the committee’s final recommendation is too stringent and will make future development on the site “unlikely.”

He also advised the heritage designation will likely prompt an appeal. “CSC would file an objection to the conservation review board,” he told council.

Coun. Bill Glover, who serves on the heritage committee, believes Corrections will have a hard time trying to downgrade heritage protections that other federal departments have already endorsed.

“Let them go to the conservation review board and

explain why other federal agencies got the designation wrong and it needs lesser protection.”

Council also heard that the city paid a heritage consultant to review what type of protective measures are warranted, but the heritage committee added a few more.

Coun. Glover defended the heritage committee’s expertise: “We’re not adding things from Outer Space.”

Coun. Sandy Berg tried to water-down the committee’s recommendation to remove many of the indoor protection features at St. Helen’s, saying the city needs to respect the heritage nature but still allow it to be repurposed by a future owner.

Mayor-elect Bryan Paterson agrees the amendment represents a “balanced approach” to ensure the buildings can be used in the future. “Let’s not condemn them to be vacant and allow demolition by neglect.”

But Berg’s amendment was defeated 9-2, and the committee’s original recommendations were endorsed by the outgoing council.

Coun. Liz Schell supports the need for expanded preservation, noting she is “very concerned” that “ripping and tearing” of the landmark buildings could happen once they are sold. All three levels of government will likely be given first chance at buying the heritage properties before they are offered to the private sector.

Vandyk revealed that Corrections has already had preliminary discussions with an unidentified buyer, but added that nothing formal has been agreed to.

CSC has 30 days to file an appeal with the conservation board.

Out with the old, in with the new at Kingston City Hall

R0013008759

Kingston Heritage Editorial – A touch of humour found its way into the final meeting of Kingston city council before the new group of mostly rookie politicians takes over next month.

The large screens that display recorded votes in council chambers went wonky, and displayed the names of both current and future councillors at once during a procedural vote.

Outgoing names like Mark Gerretsen and Rick Downes mixed with newcomers like Peter Stroud and Ryan Boehme to laughter in the

room. For a few minutes, council was forced to retreat to the old fashioned show-of-hands voting practice to keep council business going.

Mayor Gerretsen, chairing his final meeting of a four-year term marked with progress and acrimony, also injected his own brand of humour to the room, saying he will take responsibility for the first “screw up” of incoming mayor Bryan Paterson. “After that you’re on your own,” he quipped.

But it didn’t take long for this council to revert back to its old self, caught up in procedural rulings to deny a debate on hiring a third party to investigate election complaints. It culminated with a failed challenge to the mayor’s authority.

But Gerretsen, whose name was already freshly engraved on the

Chain of Office (a tradition reserved for former mayors), continued to point out the many successes while presiding over his first and only term as mayor; lowest tax rates since amalgamation, more spending on infrastructure, Brownfields clean up and strategic planning to name a few.

From an administrative point of view, this council has left a legacy of progress in many areas guided by the advice of city hall’s experienced managers. From a political viewpoint, it will be tagged as the ‘7-6 council’ that spent more time dividing and conquering itself.

Come Dec. 1, it will truly be a case of out with the old and in with the new. A stunning majority of the new group has never delved into the seemingly non-partisan world of municipal politics before. Not just fresh faces, but young ones.

Countrytime Furniture & Home Decor

“One of things I find so fascinating about this new council is that if you look at their average age, I’m probably older,” said Gerretsen, who was one of Kingston’s youngest ever mayors when first elected in 2010.

Several observers noted the average age of the new council has fallen significantly. It appears that Kingston is now ruled by 30-somethings with big ideas and little baggage, and a desire to work together. Then again, such optimism also greeted Gerretsen’s first few months in the big chair until the Honeymoon glow soon vanished into left vs. right politics.

Still, everyone will be watching the rookie mayor, seven new faces and five returning councillors to see how they tackle pressing issues.

Team spirit may overcome inexperience, but there won’t be much

time to learn on the job.

The new council will be thrust into 2015 budget talks in January amid pressure to raise taxes higher than what the previous council did.

Staff have warned the 2.5 percent tax hike years may be unattainable in 2015 and 2016 without deep spending cuts. The budget talks will be followed by priority setting workshops in February – a chance to put their stamp on what the city should look like.

It adds up to a busy agenda in the opening months.

And, to a certain extent, council’s functional factor will hinge on Paterson’s ability to build trust and a team atmosphere. Close votes are okay. Majority votes prevail.

But those who vote in the minority shouldn’t leave meetings feeling resentful and resolved to feud again. But that was then.

Editorial Feeling Festive

In my last column I talked about not liking winter and while that is still true, there is one thing that makes the season a bit better – Christmas. When Halloween ends and stores start changing over to Christmas decor and playing holiday music, I can’t help but smile.

My love of Christmas dĂŠcor definitely comes from my mother.

When I was a kid she always decorated our six-foot artificial tree with the most beautiful ornaments, tulle and beads. I loved helping with the tree every year and as I got older I participated more and more.

At some point my mother decided that one tree wasn’t enough and she started branching out (pun intended). She picked themes for trees and by the time I was a teenager we had 12, yes 12, Christmas trees throughout our house each holiday season. There was a teacup tree in the kitchen, an alcohol tree down by the bar complete with little bottles and martini glasses, a leop-

ard themed tree in the bathroom, a black and silver New Year’s Eve themed tree in the downstairs foyer and many more.

While this may seem a bit extreme to some people, I always loved it. They were all very tastefully done and my mother loves filling the trees with as many ornaments as possible. My dad even had to anchor some to the wall because they kept falling over. In the past few years my mother has scaled back a bit and now she only puts up the trees she really loves, but her decorating has definitely worn off on me.

On Nov. 1 this year I was ready to decorate. I have a very nontraditional bright pink Christmas tree with a collection of turquoise and blue ornaments. I love the way the two colours look together and I couldn’t wait to put it all together. Korey has his own tree, too, themed with different Star Wars and Star Trek ornaments and matching lights.

As I started to assemble both trees this year I was greeted by a terrible task – untangling and fixing Christmas lights. I don’t know how my mother has done it all these years, but it was a heck of a job.

Each string had burnt out lights and

Kanata Kourier-Standard

In Our Opinion

the task of replacing bulbs and finding the bulb that caused the entire line to go out was mind numbing. It is easily the most infuriating thing I have done in a long time and the end result was me taking a trip to Canadian Tire to replace the majority of them. I may love Christmas but the lights and I really don’t get along.

Now, finally, both trees are fully assembled and ready to enjoy. They may not look as impressive as my mother’s but I think over time and with lots of practice I can improve.

I love being able to plug the tree in every night and look at it. I’ve never understood people that wait until the middle of December to decorate. There is almost no time left to enjoy the tree itself and the ornaments that you only get to see once a year. Why not enjoy the tree for 2-3 months each year?

Decorating early also inspires me to do other Christmasy things like start my shopping, or listen to Christmas music or watch Christmas movies. All of these things are so much fun and part of me wishes I could do them all winter long.

Maybe then winter wouldn’t seem so drab and dull and maybe, just maybe then I wouldn’t dread January quite so much.

Justice for Pierre Poutine?

Editorial - Last week, Michael Sona became the first person to ever spend time in prison for violating the Canadian Elections Act. Judge Hearn sentenced Sona to nine months behind bars, with another 12 months probation, for his role in a plot to direct thousands of voters to the wrong polling location in the riding of Guelph. Hearn said that he was convinced of Sona’s guilt by the testimony of several Conservative Party staff members who held that Sona bragged about how successful the attempt at voter subterfuge was. An investigation found that the calls were ordered from a burner phone, and were registered under the fake name of Pierre Poutine, with an equally fake Quebec address. Information from the Conservative Party database was used to identify the prospective victims of the crime. An Ottawa Citizen and Post Media investigation found that misleading calls were placed in a total of 14 ridings.  Although Michael Sona did not testify in his own defence, he has held in the past that he was simply a patsy in the scheme, scapegoated by the Conservative Party of Canada. In his verdict, Judge Hearn agreed, saying that he did not believe that Sona was solely responsible for the crime. However, there was little that could be done, as one likely culprit, deputy-campaign manager Andrew Prescott, was given immunity by the Crown in exchange for testifying against Sona - testimony that was later dismissed by Judge Hearn as cagey and self-serving. The other potential culprit, campaign manager Ken Morgan, fled to Kuwait when word spread of the investigation. He has never spoken with officials from Elections Canada.  The whole thing reminds one of the Nigel Wright Affair, in which Canadians are supposed to believe that Nigel Wright gifted $90,000 of his own personal money to Mike Duffy in order to repay certain odious housing expense claims he made, and that Harper and the Conservative party apparatus had absolutely no hint of the arrangement, despite a litany of e-mails between its most senior members and a famous ‘ok to go’ that strongly suggest otherwise.

Is Sona’s nine month sentence enough to restore Canadian’s faith in the electoral system? We don’t think so. Sona was a good soldier of the party, but he was not the architect of the grand scheme. He’s not our Pierre Poutine.

There will also be performances by local dance group the Red Beanies in front Heritage Events – Believe it or not, of City Hall on the weekends. On Dec. 13, Christmas isn’t just about Santa, presents there will be a caroling and skating event and fighting the crowds in a mall.

Inmates give new meaning to phrase “repaying their debts”

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

Heritage News - Restorative justice is defined as “an approach to justice that focuses on the needs of victims and the offenders, as well as the involved community, instead of satisfying abstract legal principles or punishing the offender.”

Inmates at the Collins Bay Institution have a first-hand understanding of the benefits of this practice.

On Aug. 30, 27 inmates participated in a five kilometre race in support of the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area; through this, they were able to raise $1,000 by collecting donations from their fellow inmates. Thanks to a $100 contribution from an anonymous local donor, they presented a cheque for $1,100 to Tony Gargaro and Jeff Helsby of the Boys and Girls Club on Nov. 17.

“What we’re able to do here today is a small gesture, it’s only $1,000,” said inmate Jarrod Shook.

“But it’s a concrete statement from the prisoners at Collins Bay that we wanted to give something back to the community. I’m very happy we were able to do that.”

Shook explained that he and his colleagues researched a number of different charities before deciding

which to donate the funds to.

He added that having Gargaro and Helsby come in to the institution to pick up the cheque and inform inmates about how their donation will be used was particularly impactful.

“It gives the guys get a chance to engage with them and get a fuller sense of what type of services they provide in the community.”

Gargaro and Helsby explained that the Boys and Girls Club provides a number of opportunities for local youth, from summer camps of all sorts to field trips, such as a recent one taken to Parliament Hill.

“These opportunities make them realize their potential,” Gargaro noted, adding that he was a little surprised to see this particular donation.

“It’s humbling,” he said. “These guys had to work so hard to raise the funds.”

Chris Hadfield visits Kingston students via Skype

By Mandy Marciniak Reporter

Heritage News – Students at St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Catholic School had an out of this world experience last week. On Nov. 17 more than 400 students gathered in the school gym to chat with Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and ask him questions about his journeys and experiences in space.

St. Marguerite teacher, Alison Bogle, arranged the 30 minute Skype chat with the Commander and thought it was the perfect way to kick off another successful eco-year for the school.

“We are a platinum level eco-school and we are looking for new ideas every year to help enhance that program,” explained Bogle. “This year I wanted to give them a different viewpoint of our planet and the viewpoint from space seemed perfect.”

The Ontario eco-schools program is an environmental education and certification program that helps school communities develop both ecological literacy and environmental practices to become environmentally responsible citizens and reduce the environmental footprint of schools.

Last year, St. Marguerite students helped develop a butterfly garden; this year, Bogle hopes that

Commander Hadfield inspires them to do more.

“We really wanted to connect him as an astronaut to them on a real level and inspire them through that interaction,” said Bogle. “Students from each grade and the eco-team were able to ask questions and I think they came up with very thoughtful questions.”

Questions ranged from light-hearted to serious, with students asking how to use the washroom in space, how to shower, how long it takes to get to space, what books Hadfield brought with him and what happens if you get lost or an engine fails. Grade 1 student Jake Skilnick asked the question for his class and was interested in animals in space.

“It was really fun to ask the question,” said Skilnick. “I asked about animals inside and outside of the ship and I really liked his response. It was my favorite part of the day.”

While Hadfield hasn’t seen any animals in space, he did explain to the students that there were mice and fish on the ship with him to see how they react to space. Overall, Bogle was extremely pleased with Hadfield’s responses to the students.

“I thought his answers were wonderful. He really takes the time to explain things to the kids and he is thoughtful and well spoken.”

Hadfield even took the time to speak about Sir John A. Macdonald; Bogle asked him to comment on the upcoming bicentennial for the country’s founding prime pinister.

“It was so Kingston specific and it was great to

hear his thoughts about him and hear him say that he thinks Sir John A. would be delighted to see what Canada has become and see the advances of Canadian technology in the past 200 years. It was so inspiring.”

Bogle is also inspired by Hadfield’s use of social media and technology to help educate kids and even adults about space. She hopes that more schools will participate in programs like this and really adapt to future opportunities.

“He has done such great things for education and social media. We as educators really need to adapt to these forms of technology and use them to enhance the learning experience for these kids.

That is what this and the eco program are all about.”

Preventing and treating frozen pipes

Frozen water pipes and leaks can quickly lead to disaster. Water damage can result in costly repairs, some of which may not be covered by home insurance policies. Preventing frozen pipes and leaks is essential once the mercury starts to dip.

Water expands when it freezes, and if it expands enough, it can cause pipes to burst. Yet, burst pipes do not usually occur directly where the ice is forming. Rather, the ice increases water pressure buildup elsewhere in the pipe, typically between the faucet or spigot and the ice blockage.

Therefore, adequately protecting the entire length of pipe during cold spells can be necessary.

Any home built in colder climates should have its pipes located on the inside of building insulation. However, pipes in crawl spaces, attics and basements, as well as those located on outside walls, are vulnerable to freezing. To prevent frozen pipes and bursting, follow these tips. · Drain water from outdoor hoses and close inside valves supplying water to outdoor faucets. Keep the external hose bib open to let water drain and to allow for expansion should any water become trapped. · Inspect pipes in areas that are unheated. Insulate any pipes located in these areas. · Heat tape, pipe sleeves, heat cables, and similar materials can be used to protect exposed water pipes from freezing. Even newspaper can help insulate pipes. · Keep garage doors closed when water supply lines are located in the garage. · Open cabinets indoors to allow heat to reach pipes underneath sinks. · Seal leaks that allow cold air inside. Also, look for air leaks around electrical wiring and vents that are in close proximity to pipes. · If you will be away from home, keep the thermostat set to no lower than 55 F (12 C). Have a neighbor check on the house periodically to make sure no pipes are freezing. · Keep water trickling out of a faucet when temperatures are very cold.

This will relieve pressure inside of the pipe and could prevent bursting if an ice blockage occurs. · If you suspect a pipe has frozen, warm air from a hair dryer can help thaw it out. Never try to thaw a pipe with an open flame. · If a pipe bursts, turn off the water from the main shut-off valve. · Call a plumber if pipe problems are beyond your expertise.

The Dobby Project encourages Kingstonians to give the gift of dry, warm, socks

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – At this time of year it is not uncommon to find yourself in wet, cold socks; they are uncomfortable and you usually can’t wait to get home and put on a fresh pair. But what if you didn’t have a fresh pair - or any pair at all? For homeless people across the city, socks are a luxury and many shelters struggle to keep up with the demand for new socks.

That is where the Dobby Project comes in.

“Wet socks cause a whole host of very serious foot issues for homeless people,” explained Dobby Project founder Jennifer Anderson. “Last year I was listening to the CBC and there was a documentary about how much homeless shelters need socks and as I sorted socks for my family I was inspired to help.”

Anderson immediately called shelters across the city and asked if they needed socks. The answer was a resounding ‘Yes’ and she immediately started to come up with ideas.

“I pitched my idea to Awesome Kingston in October last year and I won their $1000 grant,” she said.

“That inspired me even more and helped me purchase bins and signage for the project.”

Anderson thought about putting bins in local stores, but she quickly learned that in order to do that she would have to register as a charitable organization. The registration process is quite expensive so instead she looked for other ways to market the idea.

“I set up a Twitter account and an email and I started approaching schools and churches and asking if they wanted to contribute,” said Anderson. “People were really responsive and I think people really want to give where they live so the concept really stuck.”

Last year the Dobby Project collected over 1,000 pairs of socks and donated them to nine different shelters and organizations across the city. This year, Anderson hopes to collect even more.

“This year I am trying to grow it a bit more. I want to make sure to keep the sock supplies coming to the shelters throughout the winter and I am always looking for groups that want to host a sock drive.”

Anderson hopes that by donating socks, community members can feel like they are contributing in a small way to the much larger issue of homelessness.

BLACK FRIDAY 4 DAY SALE • November 27-30

She also hopes that the socks open up larger discussions about homelessness in the city.

“I think a lot of people are probably like me and they see homeless people they feel terrible about it, but they don’t really know what to do. If they had the option to donate some socks they could make someone’s day better and help homeless people have a better quality of life.”

Anderson also hopes that the socks allow homeless people in the city to walk around with a bit more dignity, a concept that she wanted to reflect in the name of the group; Dobby is a house elf in the Harry Potter series who becomes free when he receives a sock.

“I guess that applies a bit to homeless people and these socks,” said Anderson. “The socks allow them to carry on in warmth and comfort and while that may seem like a normal thing for most people, for them it is much bigger.”

Each shelter that Anderson donates to goes through about 120 pairs of socks a month during the winter. They need a constant and ongoing supply and while the Dobby Project only serves Kingston, Anderson hopes to expand in the future.

“I would love to see Dobby Projects in other cities run by people who want to do it. I think people do want to help and this is an easy way to do it.”

For more information about the Dobby Project or how to set up a sock drive email thedobbyproject@gmail.com or look for the group on Twitter.

Kingston Chamber Choir invites you ‘home for the holidays’ mmarciniak@theheritagemc.ca

Heritage Events – Going home for the holidays is always comforting and something to look forward to; this holiday season Kingstonians can experience that comfort even more and visit four Sydenham Ward historical homes as part of the first ever Kingston Chamber Choir ‘Home for the Holidays’ walking tour.

“We have four houses on the tour and each will be decorated for Christmas by the homeowners,” explained Eleanor Rogers, chairperson of the fundraising committee for the Kingston Chamber Choir. “Among the houses there will be small groups of choir singers and they will move amongst the four houses throughout the night singing.”

The tour was inspired by the popular home tours done by the Kingston Symphony each year and Rogers hopes that the event will help raise money for the Chamber Choir.

“We need funds to help pay for the rental of rehearsal spaces throughout the year, concert venues, and costs associated with visits to other places to perform,” she said.

The choir will also use the funds to commission new pieces of music and entice guests to come perform at their concerts throughout the year.

“For almost all of our performances we invite special guests and many of them are people who started off in Kingston and have now seen great suc-

cess in their careers. We love having them come back, but there is a cost associated with that return.”

Attendees of the tour will have an opportunity to walk though the main floor of the Cartwright House, the Frontenac Club Inn, the Secret Garden Bed and Breakfast and a historical home on Lower Union Street. Each home will be festively decorated and local florists are donating accents for each home.

“There will also be volunteers in the home that can answer questions about the home itself,” added Rogers. “All of the homes and buildings are historical and they all have their own charm.”

The homes are within walking distance of each other and there is no planed route. Guests are encouraged to walk, however they are welcome to drive if necessary. After touring each home, guests are invited to St. George’s Cathedral for organ music, caroling, light refreshments, snacks and door prizes.

“We’ve had some very generous businesses donate items to us,” said Rogers. “We hope people will start gathering at the cathedral later in the evening and it should be a great time.”

The tour takes place on Saturday Nov. 29 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. While Rogers is retiring form her post as fundraising chair this year, she hopes the event will become an annual fundraiser for the choir.

“It is a lot of work to pull something like this together and we don’t have a

Musician’s legacy grows Joe Chithalen died on May 1, 1999 while on tour with The Mahones in Amsterdam.

“He passed away suddenly as a reaction to food that contained peanuts,” said Eccleston. “His family, friends, and Wally High, who was a good friend of his and recorded with him, came up with the concept of an instrument library as a memorial. Joe had said on more than one occasion that everybody should have the opportunity to do what he has: learn to play an instrument and perform in front of other people. He wanted to give everybody the opportunity to play a musical instrument. Joe was one of those gentle giants of a guy who was willing to help to play with anyone at any time.”

Today, Joe’s MILL provides 4000 loans of musical instruments per year.

There are about 2500 people on the registered borrowers list in the Kingston area, which is defined as being within 50 kilometres from the Joe’s MILL home base.

The library has about 750 instruments, including many guitars and more than 30 drum kits with cymbals and stools. Also available are amplifiers, keyboards, horns, violins, percus-

One of the most unique libraries in the country will soon be moving to a new home on the waterfront. The Joe Chithalen Memorial Musical Instrument Lending Library, or Joe’s MILL as it’s known around town, will relocate from its long-time home in the basement of the Boys and Girls Club on Bagot Street to the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning along King Street West.

“One of the most important things to know is that the library was established as a memorial to Joe Chithalen, a local bassist and musician in general,” said Roger Eccleston, the coordinator at Joe’s MILL. “Joe played with a lot of different bands with differing styles every night of the week. He might play Celtic punk on one night, then with one or two of his funk bands, then he’d don a suit and tie and play stand up bass with another band.”

sion instruments, sheet music and exotic instruments like a didgeridoo and a theremin. It’s all available for borrowing free of charge.

The usual lending period is four weeks. Because of the trouble with moving drums, they go out for three months. The larger and heavier keyboards that require two people to carry, go for six months.

To become a registered borrower, a person needs three items: 1) photo ID with date of birth, to prove age, because borrowers are signing a legal document; 2) some recent (within the last month) document that confirms current address; 3) $10 to offset the cost of the borrower’s card.

tations to this very old building. It was built in 1920 and doesn’t have the advantages we will have access to at the Tett. There’s even a cafeteria down there, up to date washrooms and a lot other arts clients in the building. We have limited parking here. There will also be a bus stop right outside the Tett.”

The move became essential.

“Our rent was increasing,” said Chantal Thompson, who serves on the Joe’s M.I.L.L. Board of Directors. “We needed a fully accessible wheelchair space, because that is our mandate: accessibility to all.”

She explained that the timing was right for involvement in the new waterfront arts centre and that Joe’s M.I.L.L. embodies the collaborative philosophy of the Tett.

The move will likely take about a month.

“We have a lot to do once we get our keys,” said Eccleston. “We’ll do

registered charitable organization.

“Our biggest financial input in recent years has been from the Anna and Edward Churchill Foundation, but our biggest community event fundraiser for last few years is an initiative called Homegrown Live. A local musician started it about five years ago to showcase musicians in the community. It’s a one-day event, usually held on the second Saturday in May. It raises money for Joe’s M.I.L.L. and the Partners in Mission Food Bank. My nickname for it is the event that pays the rent.”

Eccleston explained that Joe’s MILL is unique.

“It’s absolutely a one-of-a-kind, community, charitable organization,” he said. “In my book, every community should have a musical

instrument lending library. You take it for granted that there will be a book library. But that’s limited to the language of the community. If you can communicate in music, it doesn’t matter where you’re from, what religion you are, your skin color or age. It’s my personal opinion that every community on the planet should have something like this.”

The upcoming move to the Tett Centre is exciting, but Eccleston says there are fond memories that are hard to leave behind at the Boys and Girls Club.

“There’s lots of nostalgia here.

Our landlord is The Boys and Girls Club. They’ve been very good to us. They’ve made a lot of improvements over the years, including energy efficient windows and a dedicated HVAC heating system.

The Boys and Girls Club has done so much for us. But there are limi-

the fine tuning once we’re in there.

We’re hoping to introduce a completely new borrower and instrument tracking software program.

Rob [Bertschi] will be our captain on that.”

Eccleston has always felt the pull of music.

“I guess it was the era I grew up in; I was a child of the 60s,” he said. “There was music everywhere.

It was the Beatles era. I picked up a bit of guitar by osmosis. I was lucky as a kid: we had a school band that had instruments. Music was optional, but most of just joined the band to get out of history classes. The history teacher was wicked, evil. It was better to play euphonium than take her history class.”

Eccleston came to Canada in the spring of 1982 to work as a technologist in the textile industry. He initially worked at the Celanese Millhaven plant.

In Kingston, Eccleston linked with the musical community from day one. He hosted a couple of shows on CFRC. He also hosted the Kingston live acoustic folk club, Sweet Folk All. He was forced out of work at Celanese when the textile industry in Canada collapsed.

He became involved with Joe’s M.I.L.L. at the request of Wally High.

“I was press-ganged by Wally High. I was in between jobs when Wally overheard a conversation with my ex boss, Van Turner at Kingston Brewing Company. Wally said, ‘Hey, I want you for my library.’”

Thanks to people like Roger Eccleston and the late Wally High, Joe Chithalen’s memory will live on along Kingston’s waterfront and in the hearts of Kingstonians.

Simcoe Islanders have unique issues

/UHKFdn

/UHKFdn

/UHKF

goo.gl/n2ydw

/UHKFdn goo.gl/n2ydw

Heritage news-With the sudden appearance of winter Simcoe Islanders must be wondering how soon they will be stranded on one side or the other of the Boat Channel either because of low water levels causing ferry ramp problems, or the weather. They wonder if and when it happens when will the ice be thick enough to walk across or use to other means to get back and forth; will Don Eves will be able to plow and keep the roads open to the dock or will the weather ease up and the ferry stay in service all winter?

Much of this was brought to the attention of Frontenac Islands council at their November meeting when Simcoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Don Eves outlined last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter difficulties in fulfilling his snow plowing contract due to the ice, snow, heavy drifting, size of the roads and the resulting equipment difficulties he encountered.

Eves said that a larger blower and tractor are needed but if he was to purchase something bigger he would require a long term contract commitment from the township.

Mayor Doyle agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe the township should get a larger tractor with blower/plough ( for use during t winter contract with Eves and grass cutter for township use on Simcoe in the summer,â&#x20AC;? he suggested. After some discussion township staff was directed to provide a costing for an 80-100 hp. tractor and a double auger eight foot wide snow blower.

They will search out auctions etc, for used equipment It was noted that the provisions of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ice eatersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; might keep the ferry open through the winter. With regard to ramp difficulties the township will seek the advice of MTO before undertaking the work that needs to be done.

2. MTO to Assures Howe Islanders a Better than Ever Bubble System The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has announced that the bubble system for The Frontenac-Howe Islander ferry is being fully tested Wed. Nov 26 from 830 am to 930 am. During the testing period MTO will have staff available to answer any questions interested residents and the public may have about the system. The fifteen-car ferry operates on demand, 24 hours a day, from the mainland to Howe Island including the winter months. Difficulties that arose with the ferry throughout last winter with a non functioning bubble system and a bad winter resulted in ferry trip cancellations, long line ups, frustrated and angry residents, concerned not only about transportation issues but the effect transportation issues might have on property values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we had an issue in January 2014,â&#x20AC;? Frontenac Islands Mayor Dennis Doyle said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;MTO, the Township, the Province and the Frontenac County Ferry Operations group have worked diligently to restore the bubbler system to better than new. It is important to spread the word that last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issues with the bubbler system are behind us and MTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very

public testing of the system on the 26th should restore confidence in the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliability.â&#x20AC;?

Scott Marshall Past President of Spithead Association acknowledged the importance of the bubbler system testing on Nov. 26th as positive news as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is one way a way for residents to know the system is fixed and working.We can expect normalferry service this winter. If anyone can be at the bubbler testing on the 26th, that would show our satisfaction the system is fixed,â&#x20AC;? he said. The date: Nov. 26th, the time:8:30-9:30 am, Frontenac Howe Islander Ferry dock.(Howe Island) 3. Grow your Forest Workshop on Wolfe Island Join Trees Ontario and its partners at a free landowner â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grow your own forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workshop on December 10 on Wolfe Island The workshop will offer advice on forest management, tree planting subsidies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including the 50 Million Tree Program - and other financial incentives for establishing and managing a forest. All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required is idle land and trees to plant. Â Tim Gray will lead the workshops. Tim Gray who has spent many years with the Ministry of Natural Resources providing forest management and tree planting advice to landowners will lead the workshop. He is currently a Trees Ontario Field Advisor.

According to the information, Trees Ontario administers the Ontario governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 Million Tree Program by 2025 designed to significantly reduce the costs to landowners of large-scale tree planting; in most cases, 75 percent (or more) of the costs will be borne by the program.

Landowners with a productive area of one hectare or larger may be eligible. Wolfe Island has many trees planted on vacant land under this program and others. This workshop offers an opportunity for more.

Local program agents will be there. The workshop is on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 (7:00 to 9:00 pm) at the Wolfe Island United Church. Pre-registration is encouraged; please visit www.treesontario.ca/ landownerworkshops. For more information, contact Shelley McKay, Trees Ontario at smckay@treesontario.ca or 416646-1193, ext. 232.

Hospice Kingston gets green light for new seven-bed residential space Hospice Kingston’s vision of being the city’s first residential hospice will soon become reality.

That’s because the not-for-profit organization recently received the green light for a seven-bed residential hospice, slated to open in 2017.

“We will transform the end-of-life care experience in Kingston and I say this without hesitation, not only from my professional experience, but from my personal experiences with my family in a residential hospice…we are excited about our future and most importantly for our community,” said Natasha Girard, executive director of Hospice Kingston.

The residential hospice will offer, in partnership with the South East Community Care Access Centre, nursing and personal support services to meet the needs of hospice residents.

Hospice Kingston will also “work closely with Kingston General Hospital and St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital to assure a seamless transition for patients,” noted Girard.

Hospice Kingston also received support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in the form of a three-year $100,000 grant.

“The support that Hospice Kingston offers individuals and their families is well known and of tremendous comfort to those going through emotional and difficult times,” said Jackie Franklin, a Ontario Trillium Foundation Quinte Rideau grant review team volunteer.

“I have no doubt your careful and considerate approach to provide new services is appreciated,” she added.

The grant helped fund the hiring of a Communications and Fund Development officer to provide communications and fund development expertise, as well as create awareness about Hospice Kingston and its vision to build a residential hospice for the Kingston community.

Hospice Kingston provides community hospice support care services like, physical, psychological, social and spiritual support, in Kingston and the surrounding area. According to Girard, in 2012 Hospice Kingston supported 286 individuals and families, and in 2013 it provided support to 335 individuals and families.

“We live in an aging population and

the needs will only increase, although a death can happen at any age,” she said.

“Everyone’s end-of-life care journey is sacred. Living and dying well helps us create a healthy culture and a strong community for all of us.”

Girard said the new residential home will help lead a shift in healthcare to alleviate pressures in acute care and add another option to the continuum

of care.

Hospice Kingston will be launching its capital campaign to create the resources for the residential hospice. The capital campaign, which will kick off in early 2015, will coincide with Hospice Kingston’s 30th anniversary.

Following her heart and nature for inspiration “Those willing to be vulnerable move among mysteries.”

When you visit Whitney Haynes’ website (whitneyhaynes.ca) the above quote appears. It’s fitting. When we

take risks, we are instantly vulnerable to failure, to success, to the judgment of others, to our emotions. But to not take risks is to die a soul death.

Whitney Haynes is a jewelry artist.

That wasn’t a career goal; it was a result of following changes in her life, listening to the inner voice and allowing herself to become vulnerable by risking.

Her career started out with attending the University of Western Ontario in London for a degree in kinesiology.

Part way through, she switched to McMaster University for a degree in industrial relations.

“The program was part of the social sciences there,” she says. “I didn’t see myself as going into corporate management or the labor side of things. I wanted to be the arbitrator, the in-betweener who could bring the two sides together.”

She thought she’d end up in a human relations career, but after graduation ended up with the Price Club,

Whitney Haynes creates jewelry by combining silver and leather with such natural products as birch bark. A percentage of her profits goes to not-for-profit organizations.

Photo/Mark Bergin which later became Costco.

“Merchandising was my first job,” she says. “I became involved with Costco when it first opened as Price Club in Mississauga.”

Her early experience had her on the floor directing the stockers and forklift drivers.

“I learned about distribution and I would watch the company buyers when they came to look at the store. I learned a lot.”

She started to work as a buyer for the company.

“I liked the creative part of buying products and sourcing new ideas,” she says. “Part of my job involved going to new regions and sourcing local suppliers. I’d meet with farmers from Regina and salmon dudes from BC. I got to know a lot of regional guys, lots of bakers. I really liked the idea of local sourcing.”

But when Costco moved its head office to Quebec about 10 years ago, Haynes made the decision to stay in Toronto.

“My husband is a teacher, and we decided to stay in Toronto.”

She did some buying for Loblaw’s and Cara Foods. But she never felt like she was part of the corporate scene.

“I liked the travel, but didn’t like the cubicle world. If I’m going to work 60 hours a week, I’d rather do it for myself.”

About 10 years ago, Haynes and her husband left Toronto with their two children. They’d been driving from Toronto to Muskoka on weekends to spend time at the family cottage.

“I was from here (Kingston) and Mike loved the area. We wanted to be near water. Mike got a job teaching IB (International Baccalaureate) math at Regiopolis-Notre Dame.”

In Kingston, Haynes started working in interior design with her sister Terry.

“I started doing the interior painting for all those jobs. I love boutique painting, doing mural graphics and stenciling on the walls. I did that for quite a while. But I knew I couldn’t sustain Continued on page 33

Following her heart and nature for inspiration that work physically.”

Through St. Lawrence College, she was able to take a course with a jeweler who works on Wolfe Island. Then she took some silversmithing classes with the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club.

“I don’t know when I made the decision [to craft jewelry],” she says. “I was looking for a creative outlet. I guess it’s all from Heather’s [Haynes, the artist] inspiration. I have a sister who has been very intuitive about her career.

She’s not rushing it. She knows when she’s ready. I followed that.

I had my first show at home, the way Heather started with her art shows.”

Whitney Haynes art combines leather, metal and natural objects to create beautiful and wearable art. For the past few years she’s been creating about 4000 pieces a year. She creates bracelets and pendants of leather, silver and natural objects like birch. Her birch bark collection features pieces of birch enclosed in silver framing to form cufflinks, earrings and rings.

She describes her birch collection with material from Jane Gifford’s The Wisdom of Trees: The birch symbolizes a fresh start and can bring courage and determination to those of us who are treading the path of spiritual growth and development for the first time.... in apparent weakness there is of-

ten to be found great strength. The birch also promises new life and love, and is a potent symbol of purification and renewal....It teaches the lesson of unselfishness and of caring for the needs of others in ways that help them to flourish of their own accord.

“I’m more of a designer,” she says. “I’ve been putting together my own designs. What I do needs to be part of a salary for our household.”

She realizes that as her work grows, she’ll have to start getting pieces cast and she’ll need to hire a craftsperson to put things in wax for that casting. She knows that if she can sell that many pieces in a small eastern Ontario market in Kingston, there will be a wider demand.

But life hit the brakes last summer when she had to spend the productive months with her foot in a cast.

She’s now looking at the next steps to take.

“The [Heather Haynes] Gallery has been amazing, but you get comfortable,” she says. “It’s time to do another show, get back on the road.”

One of the most important aspects of Whitney’s work is its environmental friendliness.

“I’m always working toward being as envi-

ronmentally conscious as possible, including the fact that 80% of the silver I use is recycled. The jewelry is organic and earthy. With a background as a summer camp counselor, I grew up with camp jewelry. This is like camp jewelry for adults.”

Along the way, she says she’s trying to chill as much as possible and enjoy her kids, Jasmine Zahra (17) and Ben Zahra (16).

Her family focus fits with her holistic business model.

“A big part of what I do has to incorporate the not-for-profit, either selling products or giving a percentage of sales to not-forprofit organizations. I include that as part of my cost.”

Her organizations of choice for donations are the local Boys and Girls Club and Worlds Collide, which helps children, women and artists in Africa.

Amidst all her artistic and creative work, she’ll be taking a brief break in a few months. She used to do a lot of white water paddling, but found that it became a bit scary as she got older. Not that she’s taking on anything milder. She’s

One Cent Sale helped prepare for long winter ahead couple dozen eggs, all of which she would peddle off to her good customers in Renfrew before we hit the drug store.

Ritza’s Drug Store was packed to the gunnies by the time we got there, and with her change purse bulging from her egg money, and what she was able to scrounge from selling the few chickens and eggs, Mother was ready to do business.

There was Aunt Bertha, Mrs. Beam, Cecil’s mother Mrs. Briscoe, and even Miss Crosby my teacher at the Northcote School, all taking advantage of this wondrous of bargains. I purposely didn’t watch what Mother was buying. It was far more exciting to see her unpack it on the kitchen table when we got home, when I was looking at it for the first time.

Mother and I carried the big brown paper bags out to the buggy. It seemed to me she had bought everything in the ad that filled a full

page in the Renfrew Mercury!

She lined everything up in rows, and to make sure she hadn’t been cheated, which was highly unlikely, as she stroked each item off her long list. There were two of everything.

There were the two green tins of tooth powder. Tooth powder was a real treat...we usually used baking soda, which I hated with a passion.

Everything was in either a green tin, a green box, or a green paper bag. That seemed to be the colour of the Rexall One Cent Sale.

The exception was the little stack of foolscap pads. They were bright pink, and I knew who they would be for. My brother Emerson would lay claim to them! Emerson spent hours drawing pictures of glass buildings, houses that were made of glass cubes. We thought him pretty strange, but Mother thought he was a genius and would grow up to be someone famous. So the pink pads were for him.

There were green bottles of cough medicine, pain pills, even liniment for the horses. All in twos: full price for one, and the second for a cent!

The kitchen table was a sea of green when Mother got everything laid out in rows.

And then she took her change purse out and sorted the few coins that were left. It had been a good day. Not only had she bought all the necessities to see us through the long winter ahead, she had money left over to put back into the egg-money sugar bowl in the cupboard. It had indeed been a good day. And I still smelled of Evening in Paris to boot!

Lifestyle - Mother had counted her egg money at least four times! It sat all night in little mounds at the end of the kitchen table, just where she had left it when we had gone to bed. Beside it was a sheet of white paper, and the full-page ad out of the Renfrew Mercury. Mother’s list was long, and although there wasn’t a thing on it that caused me the least bit of excitement, what did get me all in a state of anticipation, was the fact that we would be going into Renfrew to Ritza’s Drug Store, where I could browse the perfume counter and use the little sample dip-stick to dab on a bit of Evening in Paris, my very favourite.

It was the Rexall One Cent Sale, which happened twice a year, and now it was late in the Fall, and the Renfrew Mercury showed a full page of everything from tooth powder, to rubbing alcohol, to something called “pills for pale people”...these were not the same as Lydia Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Pale People, according to my older sister Audrey. No everything on the one-cent sale had to bear the label “Rexall”.

And it was my sister Audrey, so much smarter than I was, who explained how the sale worked. She told me in the simplest of terms. If you bought something that cost a dollar, you got another of the exact same thing for a cent, so you would end up with two, for a dollar and one cent. No wonder Mother was making a list as long as your arm!

Just to be sure Mother had enough money to cover all the things on her list, she had Everett slaughter four good fat chickens, and gather a

Nothing like a rolling stone for this set of wheels Lifestyle - “Hi Brian, First of all I want you to know how much I enjoy reading your column in Frontenac Gazette. I’ve been (legally) driving now for 50 years and continue to be amazed about how little I really know about the cars that I have owned and drive, let alone the many interesting things that go on behind the scenes in dealerships and garages around the province and country.

As I was digging stones out of my onrim winter tires last weekend (yes, I got them put on just in time on Monday!) with my trusty old and blunt screwdriver, I started wondering about the need to undertake this thankless task. The task takes me about an hour for four tires. Many of the stones were firmly wedged in there and have had their surfaces worn to the profile of the tire surface.... so they’ve obviously been there since soon after my last picking session a year ago! My questions are: 1. How much damage are these stones likely to do?

2. Is removal of stones from tire treads considered important or not by vehicle manufacturers, dealers and safety authori-

ties?

3. How much is there a need to pick these stones out regularly? How regularly? I live on a rural gravel road!

4. How much do embedded stones restrict dispersal of water from beneath the tire as the tread passes along the road? (Have any studies been done on this?)

5. When tire performance and braking distance under various road conditions are assessed, is blockage of grooves in the tire tread taken into account?”

Thanks M Thanks for the readership and great questions. For the most part having small stones caught between the treads on tires is no big deal and not likely to cause any problems. However if the right sized and shaped stone gets trapped it can lead to a puncture (however this is rare). Snow tires can be more prone to this because of their wide deep grooves and large block tread design. If, when driving on gravel roads your tires accumulate a fair share of these stones, usually a drive at higher speeds on paved roads will dislodge most of them, especially when the tires flex on corners. If most of your driving is on gravel, the amount of stones shouldn’t continually increase as wheel speed (even on lower speed limit roads) can get rid of most of them. You shouldn’t have to pick them out.

As far as I know, transportation authorities are pretty silent on any regulations

regarding stones in tire treads and most repair garages will remove as many as possible before performing any seasonal tire changeovers especially if they have to spin the tires on high-speed balancing equipment (for personnel safety reasons).

While I know of no studies on the effects of stones on a tire’s ability to channel water or perform its other tasks, I also never heard of any road collisions attributed to this condition. I suspect as your winter and summer tires wear down, this will become less of an issue. In the mean time you may need to take the occasional run on paved roads at highway speeds to self clean the tires.

Colour me blue-less One of the world’s largest automotive paint suppliers, PPG Industries recently released their annual automotive colour popularity report and collectively we still are very adventurous when it comes to selecting our rides’ skin tones. On a worldwide basis, white is still the leader of the pallet parade capturing 28 per cent of the market (up three per cent from last year).

Black is still number two at 18 per cent and while silver and grey are bringing up their usual third place (tied at 13 per cent each) silver is starting to fade having dropped seven per cent over the last two years.

From a safety standpoint these colours represent the worst choices. Black vehicles of course can be almost invisible at night, white ones easily vanish in blowing

snow, and grey or silver literally blend into the concrete gray environment that makes up most of our urban centres. Carmakers are always trying to expand our palette preferences but, as PPG points out, it’s a consumer-coloured world. “Car manufacturers across the world are continually seeking new ways to create a unique appearance for models and vehicle brands.

As colour selection takes place two or three years in advance of a model year, it is important for auto makers to combine colour popularity with global consumer trends,” said Jane E. Harrington, PPG manager, colour styling, automotive OEM (original equipment manufacturer) coatings. “Today, automotive manufacturers can choose from a broad array of colours, a wide assortment of variations of conservative hues such as white, silver, black and grey, and distinct effects such as micas, glass flakes, fine bright aluminium and hue-shifting pigments.”

But things are getting brighter. PPG reports that for the 2017-2018 model year vehicles, carmakers have specified 63 new exterior hues for their creations. They are divided into four sectors with appropriately named titles that reveal the artistic side of automotive design. As listed and defined by PPG they are…

Good Life focusing on the harmony between man-made and natural elements, emphasizing a spirit of respect for nature and simplicity, and enabling drivers to discover their best balance

with life. The palette includes earth tones, golden yellows, weathered browns and foliage greens.

I’m Pulse reflects the movement of consumers to take control of design through their connections via social media and the growing popularity of the “maker” movement. The palette includes bold bright hues, opaque pastels and urban neutrals.

Co-Leidescope reflects the growing global eclecticism that is inclusive of ethnicities and cultures. The palette includes spicy-hot reds, gemstone greens, plum and indigo blues that create a bohemian flare.

Introsense represents a new direction in minimalistic styling that blends clean, pared-down designs with a quiet nature. The palette includes pale-washed blues, greens, corals and purples combined with light, nuanced neutrals.

Where do your driving tastes fit in?

1941 Ford pickup found in Saskatchewan He treated the old truck to a frameoff rebuild including a Camaro front clip, late model Ford 302 V8 engine, C4 automatic transmission, and Nova rear end. The outside has been restored to original, giving us a vehicle with a perfect blend of old and new.

The final touch is a set of Coker brand wide whitewall radials with red rims, beauty rings, and moon-shaped hubcaps. It’s interesting to note that whitewall tires were an option available when this truck was new. The finish today is Satin Black.

According to “Ford Trucks, 19052003” by John Gunnell, “many people consider the 1940-41 Ford pickups the best looking ever built.”

Lifestyle – Bob Harrison of Oldcastle, Ont., has been fascinated with old cars for as long as he can remember. Born in 1950, he was 17 when he bought a hot-rodded 1911 Model T Ford from a man in Merlin, Ont. Bob changed the engine and displayed his car at the 1974 Detroit Autorama at Cobo Hall.

Other cool rides followed, including a 1939 Ford, a chopped Model A Ford coupe, a ’33 Ford Vicky, and a 1972 Pro Street GMC pickup. His latest ride is also a pickup, this time a 1941 Ford. A friend of Bob found it sitting in a field in Saskatchewan.

Bob bought it and brought it home about three-and-a-half years ago.

The front end sheet metal is virtually identical to the 1940 Ford Standard.

The vertical grille bars on Bob’s truck are painted black in contrast to the brightwork on the hood and headlight bezels.

The front bumper has been eliminated for a smoother front-end look while a pair of amber signal lights have been mounted where the bumper supports came through openings in the front fenders. Twin long-stem outside rear view mirrors add a nice touch as well as being very practical.

The door handles are still where they were 73 years ago when this truck rolled off the assembly line, and the running boards are still there as well.

Note the single windshield wiper on the driver’s side. A passenger-side wiper was an extra-cost option. Other options included a chrome plated rear bumper, grille guard, radio, Bob Harrison’s 1941 Ford pickup at the Second Annual Car Show sponheater, passenger side sun visor, and sored by Knights of Columbus in Maidstone, Ont., Sept 13.

‘Dumb and Dumber To’ simply dumber and dumber-er 20 years later Entertainment – The anticipation for this sequel was huge, about fifteen years ago. Twenty years after the fact and I’m afraid the concept has lost some of its charm.

We find our mentally deficient heroes 20 years later older, but no wiser. Lloyd (Jim Carrey) is catatonic, and has been institutionalized.

Harry (Jeff Daniels) has been coming to see him every week for the last two decades. Of course Lloyd has been faking it all this time just to pull one over on Harry.

Once the joke is out the two friends are re-united.

The reunion comes just in time because Harry needs a new kidney. Luckily Harry has also just discovered he fathered a child 20 years ago. Now all the dynamic duo has to do is find this daughter and possible compatible kidney donor, and convince her

to give up a kidney.

It turns out Harry’s daughter, Penny (Rachel Melvin), is still living with her adopted father Dr. Pinchelow (Steve Tom) a wealthy and famous scientist. In the resulting road trip to track Penny down Lloyd and Harry get into one moronic misadventure after another. They even stumble into a plot to kill Dr. Pinchelow by the current Mrs. Pinchelow (Laurie Holden) and their handyman Travis (Rob Riggle). Fortunately Lloyd and Harry are oblivious to it all.

I want to start by saying I loved Dumb and Dumber. It’s a hysterical film. Now the sequel isn’t without its moments. There’s one scene in particular involving Rob Riggle, and a ridiculous number of fireworks that’s very funny. However, much of the rest of the film just feels tired and old. There are glimpses of the old magic that made the first film great, but that’s all there is; glimpses. Mostly Dumb and Dumber To is kind of boring.

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels slip into these characters like they’re

Holden goes above and beyond to commit to her character, and Kathleen Turner, who plays Penny’s biological mom, is surprisingly in this film.

Dumb and Dumber To wasn’t all bad. I got to see trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Seventh Son and Horrible Bosses 2. I think the best thing to do with this sequel is the same thing we all did with the prequel. Forget it ever happened, and just watch the original.

Downside to making Nov. 11 a national holiday Lifestyle – As my son Craig and I stood with more than a thousand other people at our community’s cenotaph Nov. 11, I couldn’t help but wonder what the crowd will be like next year if Remembrance Day becomes a national statutory holiday?

The turnout this year, on the most beautiful weather day I have ever encountered on Nov. 11 was impressive. Veterans were joined by entire school classes and hundreds upon hundreds of citizens, along with politicians and local officials.

Meanwhile, at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, a throng estimated at 50,000, double last year’s attendance, was on hand to take part in the national Remembrance Day ceremony. Among them was the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II. The Ottawa turnout undoubtedly benefited from the wave of defiance and patriotism which has swept the country in the wake of the slayings of two Canadian soldiers by radicalized murderers last month. One of the victims was standing guard at the National War Memorial when he was shot to death by a man who

later died in a hail of gunfire after storming into the Centre Block of Canada’s Parliament Buildings.

Those shocking crimes have galvanized Canadians who were already showing renewed and growing support for our military.

All things considered I can understand why some people want Nov. 11 to be further recognized by making it a national holiday. It appears that could happen as a private members’ bill wends its way toward final reading in the House of Commons in Ottawa. I believe when the question is put to the 308 members of Canada’s Parliament it will be difficult for them to say anything but “Yes” to the final proposal. It is now being discussed at the committee level after passing second reading in the House by a huge 258-2 margin, just prior to this Remembrance Day. Nov. 11 is already a holiday and paid day off in all provinces and territories except Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Manitoba. It would be up to those four provinces, representing slightly more than half the country’s working population, to change their labour codes to acContinued on page 40

commodate it.

The bill would need to be finalized before the next federal election, scheduled for next October, to be law in time for Nov. 11, 2015.

Legion opposed

This certainly isn’t the first time the idea of a Remembrance Day holiday has been put forward and the Royal Canadian Legion, the country’s largest veterans’ organization, has wrestled with this question on a number of occasions over the years. I believe that without the support of the Legion this idea should be voted down.

And contrary to what many people believe the Legion is opposed to making Nov. 11 a national statutory holiday.

The Legion Dominion Command voted on the same matter at its annual convention in Halifax in 2012. The motion was defeated.

This past weekend the Legion’s Ontario executive held further discussions about the idea. They too are firmly opposed to the plan.

A friend of mine who serves on both the provincial and national executives told me Monday that all Legion branches in the prov-

ince have been asked to notify their MPs about the organization’s stand. He says there is apparently still time for the matter to be debated further before a final vote is held in the House of Commons.

Legion members are opposed to the proposal because they see a major downside to making Remembrance Day a national holiday. It is the same objection I have written about previously. And it is why I too am totally opposed to the idea of a national holiday on Nov. 11.

The concern is a basic one but it is also critically important. If Remembrance Day becomes a national holiday will Canadians treat it the way they do other holidays and stay home instead of participating in Nov. 11 ceremonies? That is the concern and I believe it could happen.

When Remembrance Day falls close to, or on either side of a weekend, will people simply view it as a reason to enjoy a long weekend away? Will many Canadians who were previously moved to become involved in Remembrance Day observances choose to do other things with their family and friends and ignore the special meaning of Nov. 11?

Those are worrisome questions

for those of us who staunchly support this important day on the annual calendar. Like many others, I fear public support for Remembrance Day and the wearing of poppies, the blood red national symbol of remembrance, could be eroded if this idea is approved. I feel the holiday proposal is wellmeaning, but poorly thought out.

Consider this. In recent years schools have become more and more involved in activities leading up to and including Nov. 11.

Veterans are invited to our schools to speak to children and educate them about the sacrifices made by so many Canadians in defence of our ideals and in support of peacekeeping and other military initiatives around the world.

Children can relate to Remembrance Day even more now considering Canada’s involvement in the war in Afghanistan and the current mission to damage the growing capabilities of terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria.

Young people can very easily view the world wars as ancient history. It’s impossible to ignore the current role of our military however. There is a young, captive audience who have become more and more interested in the

meaning of Remembrance Day. When Nov. 11 falls on a weekend the number of school age children present is noticeably smaller. During the week (obviously most Remembrance Days are on week days) school classes are encouraged to go to the cenotaphs (War Memorials) in Canadian communities and take part in the observances. Either that or ceremonies are held in school gymnasiums on or before Nov. 11.

Opponents of a national holiday are worried this upward trend in support will be diminished by this action.

Worse still is the aforementioned possibility that Canadians in general will gradually treat Remembrance Day as just another holiday and do other things instead of participating in ceremonies.

I for one think it is too big a chance to take. Toying with the increasingly positive public perception and involvement in Remembrance Day is a bad idea!

SFCSC holds annual auction to raise funds for senior services

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Events – It’s that time of year again – time for the annual Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation (SFCSC) silent and live fundraising auction. Each year the fundraiser sets out to raise funds for seniors programs in South Frontenac and each year the auction gets bigger and bigger.

“We have about 125-150 items and I am still receiving stuff,” said chair of the organizing committee Nona Mariotti. “It has grown quite a bit over the years and each year we try to incorporate new items.”

Last year the organization auctioned off hand painted Adirondack chairs and this year ‘experiences’ are the new addition.

“We have groups that have offered cooking classes and art lessons or dinners in their homes,” explained Mariotti. “This is the first time we have gone into the services side of it. I hope they do well.”

Mariotti is taking part in the new offerings too, auctioning off a dinner for four in her home, as is SFCSC Executive director David Townsend.

“Nona and I are having a bit of a friendly competition,” said Townsend. “We are both offering dinners and we want to see who is asked to repeat it next year.”

As in past years, the night is set up as a sort of wine and cheese cocktail party with

offerings from Seed to Sausage, Kingston Olive Oil Company, Desert Lake Gardens, Limestone Organic Creamery, Bread and Butter, Fred’s Bread, Barley Days Brewery, Casa Dea wineries and many more. Towsend encourages people to come out and really see what local companies have to offer.

“People get to try a bunch of local products and find out more about the community around them and the hidden treasures that exist out here,” added Townsend. “More importantly they help support our services and they can really see where their money is going.”

All of the donated items will be included in the silent auction downstairs or the live auction upstairs and as a special treat, this year’s auctioneer will be outgoing South Frontenac Mayor Gary Davison.

Local artists also contribute to both auctions and this year quilts, paintings and even hand-sewn coats will be part of the fundraiser.

“We use local artists in the event and they generously donate their work,” added Mariotti. “I think that gives it a much different From left to right contributing artists Ann Barlow and Doreen Morey, SFCSC executive feel and it really ties all of the Grace Centre director David Townsend, Christine Spicier, and Nona Mariotti. together. We have art on the walls upstairs Photo/Mandy Marciniak. and that ties into the auction and really connects it all.”

This year’s auction takes place on Nov. 28, “People can come shop here for Black Fri- Stage Coach Road in Sydenham. Doors will which is also Black Friday, a popular day to day too. You can get great deals on unique open at 5 p.m., tickets are $40 and each perstart Christmas shopping, and Mariotti hopes pieces and that helps you as a buyer, but it son will receive a $20 charitable receipt. Adpeople will keep the auction in mind. also helps a great cause too.” vance tickets are available at the Rural VIThe SFCSC annual auction takes place on SION Centre in Sydenham or online at www.

Time your move right to save money greater competition between prospective tenants. That greater competition can drive up prices.

But apartments are harder to fill in the fall or at the onset of winter. That’s because many people do not want the hassle of moving once school has started or the weather has chilled. Landlords who are stuck paying utilities and advertising fees for vacant apartments are far more likely to negotiate rent prices, lease terms and even security deposits during the winter in an effort to fill the apartment quickly.

People sitting with homes on the market are also more likely to negotiate during cooler months when foot traffic has fizzled out. That can make shopping for a home in the fall advantageous to home buyers.

Here are some other tips to reduce stress and save money when moving into a new home or apartment. * Move mid-week. Weekends are a prime time for truck rentals and moving companies. Pick a Tuesday or a Wednesday to move, and you’re much more likely to find an available moving service (even during peak moving months); you may even be able to negotiate a lower rate. * Pick a mid-month moving date.

Many people move at the beginning of the month when leases are up or after mortgage payments are made.

Fewer people move in the middle of the month, so you might find more affordable moving deals if you can wait a few extra weeks. * Schedule a fall or winter move.

The American Moving and Storage Association says half of all moves

TeamCHAMP.ca

* Get an early start. Many people underestimate the amount of time it takes to actually move their belongings. Try to schedule a moving

company to come very early in the morning to give you ample time to pack up the truck and unpack at your new home.

occur during one-third of the year -between the beginning of May and Labor Day. Beat the rush by moving outside of these dates.

R001R0013016391

Buying a new home is the most expensive purchase a person is likely to make in his or her lifetime. It also can be one of the more stressful. The Employee Relocation Council states that moving is the third most stressful event in life, following death and divorce. But a well-timed move can reduce stress and save money.

Moving during certain times of the year can result in considerable savings.

Moving during the summer, when children are out of school and the weather is nice, can make a move more manageable. Keep in mind that because late spring and summer are the peak moving seasons, they also tend to be more expensive. Many moving companies and truck rental agencies will charge a premium if you use their services during the summer. Furthermore, crews may change in the summer when students on vacation could fill in for regular, more experienced movers.

High prices are not only reserved for those who buy a new house during the spring and summer. Renters may find spring and summer is also the peak season for rentals. Many apartment managers can attest that the dates between June 2 and August 30 are quite busy in terms of apartment turnover. College students are more likely to move as soon as the academic year ends, and many landlords plan leases to expire in the summer months to ensure that re-renting places will be easier thanks to a flooded apartment market. According to Apartment Wiz, a Houston-based apartment locating service, although there might be greater apartment availability during the warm-weather months, it also means

Pros and cons of reverse mortgages homeowner may also opt for a line of credit with the reverse mortgage proceeds. Here is a more in-depth look at the pros and cons to reverse mortgages.

Pros

A reverse mortgage enables seniors to live in their homes for the rest of their lives without fear of mortgage payments. Because there are no payments being made during the life of the loan, borrowers do not have to meet income requirements or credit checks.

As long as the borrower continues to maintain residence in the home, he or she is still eligible for the monthly payments received through the reverse mortgage. This money can be used for any purpose and is tax-free. Borrowers can opt to modernize their homes or make safety improvements. The funds can also be put toward medical expenses or travel or to help family with their own financial needs.

Because the government insures the reverse mortgage program, borrowers need not worry about receiving their payments. Should a lender fail to make a payment, the borrower is eligible for that money and a late fee as well.

Another benefit of reverse mortgages is they protect homeowners against falling home prices. If the value of the home drops after the loan is negotiated, it will not affect the equity value assessed for the life of the loan.

Cons

One down side to reverse mortgages is that the loans have higher up-front fees than other types of financing. Borrowers have to pay not only an origi-

nation fee and closing costs, but mortgage insurance costs as well. These initial costs can be several thousands of dollars.

Unlike a traditional mortgage, where the balance gets lower and lower over time, with a reverse mortgage, no payments are being made on the loan. This means the loan balance simply gets larger over time depending on how much money is drawn from the home’s equity. At the end of the loan, when the homeowner moves from the property or the premises is vacated upon the borrower’s death, the value of the estate decreases based on the payoff value of the reverse mortgage loan.

Heirs will pay off the mortgage by selling the home and will only inherit the remaining money after the reverse mortgage lender has the loan satisfied.

This means men and women will be leaving less money for their heirs, but those heirs will not be personally liable if the home sells for less than the value of the mortgage. The mortgage lender has to claim a loss and request reimbursement from the Federal Housing Administration.

Something many seniors may not be aware of with regard to reverse mortgages is that these loans can affect eligibility for some need-based programs. Although Social Security and Medicare are not affected, Medicaid and other government assistance programs can be affected if a senior has a surplus of funds from a reverse mortgage that are not spent during the month.

A reverse mortgage is a long-term solution. People who are looking for a short-term fix will find that this type

Many seniors often find reverse mortgages confusing. Seniors may unwittingly agree to a loan without fully understanding the scope of the reverse mortgage. It is adviseable to seek counseling on reverse mortgages before applying for one.

of loan probably doesn’t meet their needs. Furthermore, it is hard to be approved for reverse mortgages on newly purchased homes. Lenders usually like to see at least six months or a year chain of title on a property before issuing a reverse mortgage.

Andersen

Chances are you have come across an advertisement for a reverse mortgage and have probably wondered what this type of mortage is all about.

Geared toward seniors, reverse mortgages are growing in popularity and inspiring the curiosity of older homeowners.

A reverse mortgage is a loan offered to people over the age of 62 that enables borrowers to convert part of the equity in their homes into cash. People of retirement age may find that their limited income can make monthly expenses more difficult. Reverse mortgages were conceived as a method to helping people at this stage in life use the money they put into their homes to pay off debts or cover routine living expenses. The loan is dubbed “reverse mortgage” because instead of the homeowner paying money to a lender as is customary with a traditional mortgage, the lender makes payments to the borrower. What’s more, the borrower is not required to pay back the loan until the home is sold or vacated. As long as a person is living in the home he or she is not required to make any payments toward the reverse mortgage loan balance. However, the borrower must remain current on insurance and tax payments.

When a person takes out a reverse mortgage, he or she may borrow a portion of the market value on the home. As of 2012, the maximum loan amount available in the United States was $625,000. Any outstanding existing mortgages are paid off with the proceeds of the reverse mortgage, and either a lump sum of the balance or monthly payments are established. A

Real estate investing for beginners

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.

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 upto-date.

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.

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 knowledge of how the leasing process works,

First-time real estate investors

eaSt end townHome EXECUTIVE EAST END

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.

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 first-timers 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.
