Council defers electoral decision

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME

Flag bearers, bagpipers, snare drummers and a procession of uniformed soldiers marched from the Legion Branch 137 to the Lennox and Addington County cenotaph on Sunday to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The Last Post sounded on the trumpet and wreaths were placed at the cenotaph as Napanee joined in the nation-wide moment to mark the historic event. “The decades since the Battle of Vimy Ridge have slipped by but the legacy of the Canadians who accomplished so much in that important First World War battle lives on,” said Chris Ingersoll, president of Legion Branch 137. “Some say Canada came of age as a country on those harsh April days in 1917.” Ingersoll painted a grim picture of what the soldiers who took part in the bloody four-day battle had to endure.

Ontario ag minister hears from local officials

BY JUSTIN MEDVE Student Reporter

Local and neighboring community leaders aren’t taking ‘no’ for an answer when it comes to economic growth. But to get any answer at all, their voices need to be heard. A roundtable discussion with Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Jeff Leal, saw a number of representatives from Lennox and Addington, Prince Edward and Hastings counties speak on both initiatives and struggles. The meeting took place at the L&A County Museum and Archives in Napanee on Monday.

Comments were noted for the attention of provincial and federal government, with Leal’s current trip across Ontario — dubbed ‘Supporting Our Rural Communities’ — in advance of the upcoming 2018 Rural Ontario Summit. Greater Napanee Mayor Gord Schermerhorn took his turn to speak on the need for sustainable businesses in small communities. Napanee’s sewer system requires a multi-million-dollar upgrade to host more of them, he said. Of that, only a $700,000 grant has been made available. “We’re all concerned about clean water,” replied Leal, mentioning that a sewer surcharge had positive

results in his Peterborough riding. Schermerhorn spoke further on ambition. Community Futures funding has made it easier for farmers to sample their products out of town, he said. The town is also working on a small investment centre for businesses that can contribute towards a better social fabric and local economy. In turn, Schermerhorn brought up the matter of upcoming businesses receiving little compensation for their efforts. One starting company of 600-plus workers isn’t getting any sort of relief on high hydro rates, Schermerhorn said. Rural school closure issues also came to the fore during the session. “There’s a disconnect with the school boards and municipal leaders,” said Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher. Leal let the roundtable know he is aware that three-hour bus rides and after school activity participation can have a very negative effect on students — a sentiment that was met with applause. He also said that three members of par-

But even that issue had its ties to the roundtable’s theme of growth. One member of the discussion said families would not want to move to rural Ontario if their children could not attend school there.

“I think we all have problems as municipalities; we’re all looking for money. The province is trying to live by a budget too,” Schermerhorn told the Beaver after the meeting. “There’s less and less of it, and we’re all competing for it — and I hate to think that municipalities have to compete for funding, but we do today. So there’s no easy answer.”

Roundtable speakers had no shortage of ideas to remedy issues in prosperity. Fixing roads, gathering dollars for immigration — on top of money already given for tourism — and putting it all together to gather larger workforces was discussed. But, like outstanding issues, they all shared the commonality of requiring further funding.

VIMY FROM PAGE 1 “Life for soldiers in the trenches was miserable,” said Ingersoll. “They were often muddy and cold and had to live in the midst of pests like rats, lice and fleas. In this form of warfare soldiers faced the enemy across the narrow strip of land between opposing trenches. This was a harsh no-man’s land of mud, barbed wire and shell craters. Swept by enemy fire and menaced by artillery snipers, this is what soldiers had to cross when they went over the top and launched an attack.” Nearly 3,600 Canadians lost their lives with another 7,000 wounded in what proved to be a successful mission. A moment of silence was observed during Sunday’s ceremony for all those who didn’t return. The service at the L&A cenotaph was one of hundreds of similar services, including the main commemoration ceremony held at Canada’s Vimy Ridge Memorial at the site of the battle in France. A contingent of Napanee District Secondary School students

T H E participated in the service, along with Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The same students participated in a memorial service alongside Canadian Governor General David Johnson to mark another key moment for Canada during the First World War, the Battle of Hill 70. The NDSS students were the only high school students to take part in the service, which took place one day before the Vimy memorial service. Canada’s victory at Vimy Ridge was not only a critical strategic victory to the war effort, but it is also considered by many historians as a unifying event for a then young Canada. “At Vimy Ridge, regiments from coast to coast saw action together in a distinctly Canadian triumph,” said Ingersoll. “(The victory) helped create a new sense of national identity. Canadian achievements during the war raised our international stature and helped earn us a separate signature at the Treaty of Versailles when we ended the war.”

Author aims to bring Vimy soldiers’ stories to life BY JUSTIN MEDVE

“You’re gathering stories wherever you go for these Student Reporter kinds of things,” he said. Of those finds, Barris Thousands of First World said letters written to loved War heroes fought and perones back home are the ished for freedom in the instrumental Battle of Vimy most telling. Often poetic Ridge 100 years ago. But and somewhat political, they illustrate the sole charamong those thousands are thousands of individual stories to tell. In his book Victory at Vimy, author Ted Barris shows readers that each soldier had unique thoughts, fears and aspirations. “To me, the story of Vimy is not the big picture, it’s the small picture,” Barris said. Barris will be sharing the stories, insight and importance of Vimy Ridge while explaining how he pieced it all together for the next Night at the Museum event at Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives this Tuesday night. Barris is a writer, professor, journalist and broadcaster. Many of acteristics and background his books explore Canadian of their authors. One story is that of a military history while his weekly publication, The farmer from Wallacetown, a Barris Beat, provides news- rural community west of St. worthy insight. He has also Thomas.

wrote after watching a Belgian farmer plant new crops in a nearby field: “I have a fear that like those seeds being poked into the ground, that I might too be stuck in the ground somewhere out here, never to come back,” he said. Sifton sadly did not get to go home, but the war hero received an honorable burial in France beside other brothers-in-arms. He was also awarded a Victoria Cross for his efforts of disabling a gun, killing its surrounding crew and aiding advancement. Sifton’s endeavor may not have been possible without the ingenuity that the Canadian Corps is remembered for, however. Barris explained that preparation was key: three months were spent learning and acting on unique strategies, most of which the French and British did not use in earlier attempts at taking the ridge. Digging holes to house explosives under Germanoccupied soil was one measure taken. Soldiers also practiced marching behind a protective barrage of friendly fire. But most important were the men’s understanding of each other’s roles, Barris said. There would no longer be disarray from losing too many riflemen, grenadiers or medics.

“Every unit went ahead knowing where they were going, knowing what had to be done and fully assured that everybody’s job would be covered,” he said, adding that even the lowest ranks were fully aware of the plans of those conducting the fight. Alongside the British 5th Infantry Division, the Canadian Corps’ four divisions fought together for the first time on April 9, 1917. After days of bloodshed, Vimy was captured. Its strategic viewpoint and a nearby coal mine used for artillery would no longer prolong the war’s end. That contribution is far from forgotten, and not only thanks to authors like Barris. Citizens and dignitaries of Canadian, French and British descent visited Vimy’s memorial in France this past Sunday to commemorate the battle’s 100th anniversary. Barris predicted that of at least 25,000 attendees, a fair majority would be stu-

dents from high schools across Canada. Napanee District Secondary School had its own group of students in attendance for the ceremony. “I think in many ways the young people who go there this year are reliving the birth of a nation that happened 100 years ago,” he said, creditting teachers for reminding the next generation of the morals and pride that patriotism brings. Barris himself has made multiple visits to Vimy, both to pay respects and gather

inspiration. He explained that even while standing where it happened, the scope and loss of the battle is hard to imagine. But that’s where his book proves useful. “If you bring it down to earth to a human story, it’s very relatable,” he said. Barris’ April 18 visit will see him present from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Lennox and Addington Museum and Archives. Tickets will be available at the door for $3. Expect visuals to strengthen what is already a strongly written retrospect.

Picturing Our Community

A debt that can’t be repaid HIS weekend, Canadians took time to acknowledge a key moment in our nation’s history: the Battle of Vimy Ridge. That battle, which began 100 years ago this past Saturday, and raged over four bloody days in the French countryside, saw carefully-prepared and determined Canadian soldiers take a long-held German position. Past attempts by both the British and French armies had been unsuccessful before the Canadian Corps finally broke through, forcing a German retreat; the Germans never recovered the area before the end of the war more than a year later. Although we’ll be celebrating Canada’s 150th ‘official’ birthday this July 1, it’s this battle that has been credited with serving as Canada’s true birth as a nation. It’s hard to mount an argument against the notion: After Vimy, Canada took its place on the international stage, and helped to forge our country’s national identity. So, it’s with no small measure of pride that we acknowledge those soldiers’ feats of courage and valour a century ago. But there’s something else we should feel: a sense of debt. Yes, those soldiers helped make Canada ‘Canada’. Yes, those soldiers were part of an essential effort to turn back aggression. The sense of indebtedness comes, however, when we begin to put ourselves in the shoes of those soldiers and their families. They paid the steepest price possible. As such, we owe them a debt that is all but impossible for us to repay. We were reminded of this fact by the story of Private John Leslie Ball, a resident of northern Lennox and Addington who left his farm to fight in a war everyone thought would be over soon — and a war that presented industrialized slaughter on a scale then unheard of. His story was retold by his great-nephew, Bill McNaught, in his book Vimy: Letters from the Front. The message of the book is that Vimy Ridge was a great Canadian victory, but it came at a terrible cost. Ball was killed in the battle. As McNaught details, it was a terrible blow from which the Ball family had to recover. Indeed, the loss left an indelible scar that no posthumous medal or Remembrance Day could mend. The Balls were certainly not alone. Some 3,598 Canadian soldiers were killed in the battle, with more than 7,000 wounded. The loss — the price — is hard even now to comprehend. We should try, however — and it seems as though we are. A group of Napanee District Secondary School students made their way to Vimy for the memorial ceremony this past week. As they prepared to witness that historic moment, they prepared by researching the stories of some of those local soldiers who, a century ago, fought and died in that battle. This is encouraging, given the fact that as time continues to separate us from Vimy, the more tenuous our connection to it becomes. We need to ensure that connection doesn’t fail. In fact, we owe it those who were at Vimy, fighting for their country and its future generation, to ensure that it doesn’t fail.

Letter to the Editor

Board should stand with community Over the past several months, many Stone Mills residents have been watching with dismay and fighting back as the proposal to close Yarker Family School grinds through the awkward ‘Pupil Accommodation Review’ process overseen by the Limestone District School Board. I was pleased to read that Ron Motz, chair of the Bluewater District School Board has publicly asked Education Minister Mitzi Hunter to “come cleam” on who is really to blame for school closures. This is a step in the right direction, a step that I hope the LDSB will follow. It is a small relief that at least one school board chair is pre-

pared to show a little backbone. The cumbersome and Kafkaesque process known as PARC has pitted a few local parents from Yarker and Odessa against the well-resourced and unhelpful Limestone board staff. These parents are doing great work, despite their lack of resources and the board staff’s truculent and adversarial attitude. One would think that the board staff would be of great assistance to the PARC members by providing support, research and information, but sadly, the opposite has happened. Thus, an institution that is publicly funded is used to work against the

interests of the public. It is high time that the elected trustees of the LDSB board actually representing the interests of the people who they serve and who pay their salaries, not the interests of those who would close down their schools and thereby diminish the very communities they are supposed to support. I call on them to vote to keep Yarker Family School open, and join the call for a moratorium on all rural school closures until the funding formula for rural schools can be changed to reflect the realities of rural life.

Letter to the Editor

Why is Yarker Family School closing? Ever wonder why the Yarker Family School and other small schools in rural hamlets are chosen for possible closure by local school boards? Part of the reason might be it’s low ‘Facility Condition Index’. Besides all of the school’s other wonderful attributes, the Yarker Family School (within the Limestone District School Board family of schools) has a very low FCI of 20 per cent — which is good. It means the school is in relatively good shape and has a considerable life expectancy ahead of it. This percentage is one of the lowest in the Limestone District School Board’s inventory of elementary schools. The FCI is based on the Ministry’s Condition Assessment which is done every five years. Details about the school are available on the Ministry of Education’s website at www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/parents/renewal_data.html Yarker Family School’s FCI is low, due largely to the investments made in the Yarker Library branch (2012) and full-time Kindergarten (2014). There are many larger schools with much higher FCI numbers which are not being considered for closure (Odessa is 41 per cent,

Amherstview is 43 per cent, Prince Charles is 48 per cent). The Facility Condition Index is calculated by dividing a school’s five-year renewal cost by its replacement cost. In the case of the Yarker Family School, the FCI is 20 per cent (five-year renewal cost of $404,219 / replacement cost of $2,014,789). ‘Renewal Needs’ are expenses for a school’s critical repairs and includes a wish list of expenditures that would bring a school up to standard. The Ministry’s Condition Assessment Program is linked directly to funding through various renewal grants. When a school is closed, the five-year renewal costs disappear. So, why would the board want to close a school with an FCI of only 20 per cent and five-year renewal costs of only $404,219? It all comes down to the province’s various capital funding programs. When school boards apply for capital funding, more money is forthcoming from the province if the cost of renewing their schools is high. If a school board closes a school that has few operational needs and is inexpensive to maintain, the board’s

overall renewal needs are driven up. Schools that are in poor shape that need expensive repairs are kept open to bolster the board’s funding application. School boards across this province are desperate to reduce their capital renewal backlogs. The LDSB renewal backlog is estimated to be in the $350 million range. Is this why Yarker Family School is targeted to be closed? Because the YFS does not offer enough of a financial incentive to take a bite out of the board’s backlog? Wouldn’t it make better financial sense to keep newer schools open with fewer maintenance issues than the other way around? It might reduce the LDSB’s large renewal backlog too. The use of capital funding to clear up the renewal backlog was confirmed at the regular LDSB meeting of Jan. 11, 2017. “In response to a question, Manager of Facility Services Fowler clarified that Renewal Funding is money received by school boards on an annual basis for regular maintenance, capital items or operational needs. School Condition Improvement funding is additional money specifically to deal with the backlog of major renovations and replacement

needs.” Not only would saving schools that are in reasonable good condition like the ones in Stone Mills Township be a better use of taxpayer dollars, our children could continue to receive a good education close to home, fully supported by their teachers, parents, volunteers and the community. We need to work together to change the current Harrisera capital renewal funding guidelines that reward school boards that close schools with few maintenance issues to keep their renewal costs high. The Ministry of Education may have added money to the pot but the rules haven’t been changed. Until they do, schools in good condition will continue to be targeted for possible closure. If you would like to voice your opinion, send as many letters and emails to the Premier, the Minister of Education and your member of provincial parliament as you can, post to their Facebook pages, ask trustees for their support and place phone calls. Our childrens’ future depends on keeping our local schools open, and that depends on you. Gail Knowles, Stone Mills

Staff Picks: The Orphan’s Tale Marg Wood of the Napanee Branch of the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries recently enjoyed the newly released historical fiction novel The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff. “From the author of The Kommandant’s Girl, comes an equally heartwarming and heartbreaking story of love and the quest for survival during the Second World War,” says Marg. “Sixteen-year-old Noa is driven from her home and left to fend for herself when her father discovers that she is pregnant with a Nazi soldier’s baby. Tragically, the baby is taken from her shortly after it is born. Noa finds a job cleaning a railroad station to earn her keep and it is there that she stumbles upon a railroad car

full of babies bound for a concentration camp. Without taking the time to think things through she takes one of the babies and flees with him but soon realizes

Catherine Coles Coles Notes that the infant is Jewish. This puts them both in grave danger, she for hiding little Theo and he simply because he was born Jewish. “Noa finds refuge with the travelling Neuroff Family Circus and becomes a trapeze artist in the aerialist act. She forges a turbulent friendship with Astrid, a Jewish woman who is also ‘hiding in plain sight’ from the Nazi Gestapo. Astrid

V i s i t

begrudgingly teaches Noa the tricks of the trade and they set out on tour. Noa meets and falls in love with Luc and they plan to run away together to safety. Astrid also decides to escape and join her long lost brother in America but as they soon discover things don’t always go as planned. These are turbulent times and no one is safe from the perils of war. One of the performers is arrested by the Gestapo, another suffers a fatal heart attack from the stresses of wartime and then a catastrophic accident under the Big Top takes a tragic toll. “The Orphan’s Tale is reminiscent of Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen for its frame and has been compared to The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah for

its storyline,” says Marg. “Fans of WWII era historical fiction are sure to enjoy this poignant tale.” Catherine Coles is the Manager of Library Services for L&A County.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 65 Years Ago April 9, 1952 ■ The Napanee Beaver marked the fact that Napanee was turning 100 years old. Napanee took shape as a ‘police village’ in 1852; it wouldn’t be until 1855 that Napanee would be incorporated as a village, and not until 1864 that Napanee would be incorporated as a town. During the period when Napanee was a police village, three trustees were permitted spend, for purely local purposes, a portion of the taxes levied upon the properties within its limits. In other respects, it remained a part of the Township of Richmond. ■ An elderly man was killed instantly while he was walking on Highway 2, about two miles east of Odessa. The accident occurred at around 9:30 p.m. on April 5, 1952. Visibility was bad at the time; the driver of the car, which was headed eastbound, said he was also blinded by the headlights of oncoming traffic and was unable to see the pedestrian.

35 Years Ago April 14, 1982 ■ The door was opening for Napanee town council to establish its own non-profit housing corporation. The council received a housing report which showed that the municipality needed more residential housing. The report also showed that there are people within the town limits who were capable of paying market rentals as well as being in need of subsidized housing. Based on that state of affairs, provincial and federal benchmarks had been met to make the town eligible to receive housing grants. Although the grants would not cover the total costs of any housing project, they were of sufficient monetary value to spur any municipality to capitalize on them. ■ The Kenparco tea packaging plant located about two miles east of Deseronto on Highway 2 was going strong after beginning production the previous November. The company produced 32 different blends of tea out of the location. Tea was being flavoured in Montreal and packaged at the Deseronto site. One of the co-owners of the site, Bill Kennedy, said he hoped to move the flavouring equipment to the packaging plant in the next two months. “We use only pure flavours and high-quality tea,” said Kennedy.

Class is in for Educating Rita at Selby theatre

BY JUSTIN MEDVE Student Reporter

HEN producer Mae Wood took the latest play at the Lennox and Addington Community Theatre under her wing, she knew she had to find just the right actors to fill the roles. That’s because there were only two parts to play — and they were distinct ones at that. Educating Rita premieres on April 27. The play sees a determined college freshman and her worn, disillusioned English professor foster a personal companionship while going through trials of their own. “You can’t fake this show,” Wood said. Casting both upcoming and seasoned actors to match either of the roles has led to energetic rehearsals. Jennifer Verardi will have her Lennox Community Theatre debut as Rita, while the LCT veteran Andy Palmer plays Frank. Behind the scenes with

Wood are a stage manager, producer and stagehands covering set painting, lighting and props with dedicated care. “There are a million roles in theatre that don’t necessarily involve stepping up and being on the stage,” Wood said, adding that any playhouse can always use that sort of extra help. Palmer mentioned that having a complete set of Frank’s well-used office put together early into rehearsals has especially helped him on the always skill-testing journey to understanding a character. “There’s always challenges in trying to uncover who these characters are, what the essence of the story is,” he said. In this case, it’s the story of a man who buries himself in his books and only begrudgingly shares his knowledge with others. Verardi has also been able to appreciate her character’s arc. Rita will balance learning and a sense of

some of the absurdity of what the characters are talking about,” she said. The show will cover themes of freedom, change and the need for real-world learning experiences. It is set in England, with English nuances making their way into already sharp conversations. Educating Rita was written by British playwright Willy Russell and was first staged in June of 1980. It has also been made into a movie and radio play. Wood said this adaption will remain faithful to the original for good reason. “The words are beautiful, the way it’s written is beautiful and you’d have to fool around with that to make it something other Justin Medve Andy Palmer plays Frank while Jennifer Verardi makes her Lennox Commu- than it was,” she said.

Breakfast With The Easter Bunny

PUBLIC NOTICE Planned Noxious Weed Control County of Lennox & Addington The County of Lennox & Addington and Lower Tier Municipalities (Town of Greater Napanee, Loyalist Township, Township of Stone Mills and Township of Addington Highlands) are planning to commence a weed control program to address the proliferation of Wild Parsnip and other Noxious Weeds along rural roadsides throughout Lennox & Addington County. The County and Lower Tier Municipalities have been proactively mapping Wild Parsnip infestation levels along rural roadsides throughout the County. The information collected during the mapping will be used to determine the control areas for the 2017 weed control program. The planned weed control program includes inspection, mapping, application of approved herbicides, roadside mowing, monitoring and evaluation. Herbicide application and mowing are planned to commence in May, 2017. Spraying will occur from the edge of the gravel shoulder to within approximately 1 metre of the property limits and uses selective herbicides to control the growth of undesirable vegetation. The contractor performing the work is fully licensed and will comply with all Provincial Acts and Regulations. The following areas will NOT be sprayed: x Roadside areas mowed and maintained as a lawn by property

owners. x Minimum 10 metre buffer from freshwater habitat. x Locations requested not to be sprayed by adjacent landowners.

Exchange student enjoying her stay in Napanee

BY JUSTIN MEDVE Student Reporter

EAVING home can be hard — even harder the further you go. But Sweden’s Sofia Brink — the latest student in Napanee under Rotary International’s youth exchange program — will say following your dreams makes it a bit easier. “I wanted to go on exchange from a very young age,” she said. The 18-year-old Stock-

holm native been experiencing rural life and Canadian culture for the last eight months of her 12-month stay with host families. She’s since attended Napanee District Secondary School, built friendships and had the chance to travel to Kingston and Ottawa for sightseeing. Brink had adventurous beginnings. At the age of seven, she was homeschooled by her parents for one year while their family of five, including her older brother and sister, travelled

abroad. The importance of travelling runs strong in Brink’s family: her sister has lived in Australia for the last five years herself. A love of culture and helping people eventually inspired Brink to pursue a job in social science. In Sweden, career choices are weighted heavily as specific sets of high school courseloads are assigned to students towards their postsecondary education. “You already kind of know what you want to do,” she said. Then, just before Grade 12, Brink prepared for an adventure of her own. She decided that Canadian

lifestyle was similar enough to Sweden’s to make her adjust comfortably, and that English would be the most useful language in which Brink could perfect her skills. Rotary International’s exchange program offered the scholarship opportunities, support programs and mix of activities she was looking for while exploring a different part of the world, she said. She and two suitcases of essentials soon settled in with her first host family. Brink said that Rotary exchange students usually stay with two or three families to make their experience more varied.

also got to see the parliament buildings and Fort Henry in Kingston, thanks to the efforts of her host families. In her spare time, Brink said she enjoys playing piano, running and riding horses. She also likes listening to music and found that Canadian radio featured a lot of Swedish artists she liked, including Avicii, Tove Lo and Sarah Larson. When Brink returns to Stockholm, she’ll have to make up for the year of school she’s missed while abroad. But she said it’s been time well spent. “I’ve learned a lot though, this year. I can use it,” Brink said.

As for being the new student in school, Brink said it all got a lot easier once she started talking to people. “All my friends and their families have been very welcoming and really nice,” she said. She’s also able to keep in touch with family and friends back home over video calls and social media. She said that although some days – like her 18th birthday – were hard, her new acquaintances made them times to remember. Brink celebrated that day with all of the Rotary Club members she’s met through meetings and events. Another experience would have been difficult whether it happened here or in Sweden’s mountainous landscape: Brink tore her medial collateral ligament while competing as a part of NDSS’ ski team. While recovering on Valentine’s Day, the Rotary Club let her know she was in its thoughts by gifting her chocolate. Although her season was cut short, Brink said her team mates and love of the sport made it one to remember. “That was a good couple of weeks,” she said. As for other outings, New Year’s saw Brink celebrating in Ottawa. She’s

Earth Day Cleanup next weekend Beaver Staff

The Good Friends of the Earth-Napanee are once again urging local residents to roll up their sleeves and take a hands-on approach to helping the environment. On April 22, the group is holding its annual community cleanup to mark Earth Day. The event gets started at the Napanee Mall at 9 a.m., where would-be ‘cleaners’ can pick up all the materials they need for the job. Then, they’ll head out to gather a winter’s worth of trash in a designated area, or at an area of their choosing. All the filled-up garbage bags can be left on site to be picked up later. The event runs from 9 a.m. to noon, rain or shine. Organizers say those participating can get a free Earth Day t-shirt, donuts, drinks and other goodies. Organizer Barry Robinson says that this year’s event is dedicated to two longtime Earth Day supporters: Jim Tucker, and the late Mary Anne Pringle. For more information, contact Lyndsay at 613-354-3351 ext. 2017.

Love and crosswords What is a four letter word for ‘amour’? It’s 11 p.m. and I’m propped up on a big pile of pillows. Randy is elevated equally on a similar stack on his side of the bed. “Pepper’s partner?” he quizzes me, as he is the keeper of the pen and the dog-eared book of puzzles. “Salt!” I cheerfully respond as a few more spaces on our crossword are filled in. And so it goes. Randy and I recently celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary and many a night we find ourselves cuddled up together, engaging in this pleasant, pre-slumber mental ritual. Anyone who is married or in a long-term relationship will tell you, it is work. Every one of us comes at life with our own package of personality traits, good and bad habits and unique set of problem-solving skills. When we decide to mesh out a life with someone, inevitably there will be positive and negative ele-

ments… forks in the road. to speak. There are bills to pay, deadlines to meet, kids to get to practice, meals to prepare and chores to do. The invariable conflicts that arise are both normal and natural. The flip side is, once the initial ‘honeymoon phase’ of the marriage is over and familiar patterns and routines are established, the smaller things in life begin to take on more importance. Married life becomes a balance between hashing out solutions, during the tougher times and enjoying life’s simpler pleasures together as a couple. Comfort and contentment often come from the seemingly insignificant things, perhaps like doing a crossword together. The first known crossword puzzle was published Dec. 21, 1913, in the New York World. Arthur Wynne, a gentleman from Liverpool England, was the creator, though there were similar type puzzles published as early as the eighteenth cen-

tury. Initially, these word is a 58-letter word for the games were thought to be name of a Welsh town, that just a fad or a passing no one could ever possibly phase that people would pronounce or spell. Crossword puzzles are outgrow. one of the Apparmost wideently, the spread and New York popular Times was word games not an early in the fan. They world. This called them is for good a “sinful r e a s o n . w a s t e ” ; According to a d d i n g , studies by “solvers get the Univernothing out sity of Pittsof them burgh, they except a found that primitive engaging in form of exerthis form of cise”.

The longest word to by as much as two-and-aever appear in a crossword half years. Everyone knows

Laurie Snider

that putting your body through a physical workout improves your health and makes you stronger. Doing crosswords is like exercising for your brain. I’m certainly all for that! Hubby is the ‘master puzzler’ in our home and has been doing them for many years. I am a relative newcomer to the scene, only a devotee for the past few years, which is another reason why it is much better to do them together. “A three letter word for an addition on a house?” he’ll probe. “I have no idea!” I say somewhat perplexed. We fill in more clues until the word “ell” is revealed. “Never heard of it” I proclaim. “It’s in all the puzzles” he responds. This is something I’m learning from him. He shares that certain words make regular appearances. Now if I could only remember them from one puzzle to the next. It turns out puzzles are great tools for expanding

your vocabulary. Just the other night I was asked for a three letter word for ‘sprite’. “POP” I exclaim. Surely I must be right. “Nope” he smiles. The correct answer, I soon find is ‘elf ’. “I didn’t know that,” I quip. He Googles the definition for ‘sprite’. There it is: ‘elves, fairies or pixies’. “Where have you heard that before?” I question. “It was in a movie.” And so it goes again. We giggle about that as I try to imagine him watching a movie with fairies and pixies in it. I know I’m sure to remember that word next time around. We fall asleep, memory exercises complete, a few new words in our vocabulary and with lighter hearts. Doing crosswords together, truly is one of the little blessings of our marriage. A four letter word for ‘amour’?…is love.

fter a long, dark winter, spring's bright sun and warm winds are, well, a breath of fresh air. The only downside? All that sunshine spotlights your leaf-filled gutters, cracked sidewalks and the dead plants in last year's flower beds. This checklist is to help you target the areas that need maintenance so you can get your chores done quickly, leaving you time to go outside and play in the sunshine. Examine Roof Shingles Examine roof shingles to see if any were lost or damaged during winter. If your home has an older roof covering, you may want to start a budget for replacement. The summer sun can really damage roof shingles. Shingles that are cracked, buckled or loose or are missing granules need to be replaced. Flashing around plumbing vents, skylights and chimneys need to be checked and repaired by a qualified roofer.

Probe the Wood Trim Use a screwdriver to probe the wood trim around windows, doors, railings and decks. Make repairs now before the spring rains do more damage to the exposed wood. Check the Gutters Check for loose or leaky gutters. Improper drainage can lead to water in the basement or crawl space. Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear and free of debris. Use Compacted Soil Low areas in the yard or next to the foundation should be filled with compacted soil. Spring rains can cause yard flooding, which can lead to foundation flooding and damage. Also, when water pools in these low areas in summer, it creates a breeding ground for insects. Inspect the Concrete Inspect concrete slabs for signs of cracks or movement. All exterior slabs except pool decks should drain away from the

cutting blades will make yardwork easier. Deck and porches: Check all decks, patios, porches, stairs, and railings for loose members and deterioration. Open decks and wood fences need to be treated every 4-6 years, depending on how much exposure they get to sun and rain. If the stain doesn't look like it should or water has turned some of the wood a dark grey, hire a deck professional to treat your deck and fence.

Save bad screen to patch holes next year. Tighten or repair any loose or damaged frames and repaint. Replace broken, worn, or missing hardware.

Check Outside Faucets Check outside hose faucets for freeze damage. Turn the water on and place your thumb or finger over the opening. If you can stop the flow of water, it is likely the pipe inside the home is damaged and will need to be replaced. While you're at it, check the garden hose for dry rot.

he DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and many homeowners who have embraced the DIY movement have discovered talents they never before knew they had. But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects.

Spring into home maintenance planning With spring almost in full bloom, it's time to start taking stock of winter's impact on your home. Snow, ice and wind can not only damage the exterior of

a home, but can affect the internal environment as well. Here are some spring maintenance tips to keep your home in good shape:

• Clear eavestroughs of debris and extend downspouts so that water is directed away from your home. Water that flows around the foundation could eventually

find its way into the basement. • Have your roof inspected by a professional to ensure shingles, flashing and chimney caps have made it through the winter in

good shape and are sealed properly. • Check your attic, basement and crawl spaces for leaks or moisture. Identify any musty smells and odours, as they are often an indicator of a hidden moisture problem. • Fix any caulking around windows, doors and on the roof if it is cracked or separated. • Clean or replace your furnace

filter. Check air ducts by removing covers and vacuuming dust from vents. • Check your heat recovery ventilator (HRV), washing or replacing the filter as needed. • Clean your humidifier and check for condensation and proper humidity levels inside your home. • Check driveways and walks for frost damage.

Pierce, Campbell, White taken in OHL draft Knights, Fronts select locals BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

trio of Napanee-born Quinte Red Devils players got the call every junior player dreams of on Saturday, earning a selection in the Ontario Hockey League’s Priority Selection Draft. Emmet Pierce was taken in the fourth round, 66th overall by the London Knights while Jacob Campbell and Logan White were selected in the ninth round, 171st overall and in the 11th round, 211th overall respectively, both by the Kingston Frontenacs. “It’s awesome because my parents like to watch me play and it’ll be easier for friends and family to come watch,” Campbell said of getting drafted to the closest OHL team to home. Already a Fronts fan, Campbell is looking forward to the opportunity to join a team that’ll be coming off at the very least

“They’ve been working really hard and they deserve it,” said Campbell. “Logan coming to the Fronts with me is pretty cool because I’ve been playing with him for a long time.” The Napanee players were three of 10 Minor Midget AAA Quinte Red Devils who were drafted over the weekend, the second-highest class in the program’s history. The players didn’t have to look far for guidance on the OHL draft as their coach, Steve Bancroft, was selected by the Belleville Bulls during his own playing days. He offered a brief scouting report on the Napanee players. “(Pierce) is highly skilled and being 6’5, he opened up a lot of eyes,” said Bancroft. “He’s going to a very strong organization in London, he’s just got to continue to improve.” Pierce was the secondFile photo highest Devil selected, going Emmet Pierce (left), seen here with the NDSS Golden Hawks, was one of three Napanee born players six picks behind Cameron Supryka who went to the selected in Saturday’s OHL Priority Draft.

Napanee to host Canada’s first all-female MMA event Packed 12-fight card to take place June 24 at York Street Memorial Centre

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Canadian mixed martial arts history will be made at Napanee’s Lennox Agricultural Memorial Community Centre — the old arena — on June 24 as it plays host to the country’s first-ever all female fight card. Organized by Napanee’s Diamond Fitness, the event

will feature several of Ontario’s top amateur female MMA fighters. “It’s never been done,” said Jason Kelly of Diamond Fitness. “I’m the first promoter (to have an allfemale fight card) and it’s going to be in Napanee.” Kelly is still finalizing the match-ups but he says it’ll be a minimum of 12 fights with some exhibition

grappling matches mixed in between the matches. “It’s going to be jam packed,” said Kelly. “I got two pros coming in, Ashley LéTourneau and Melissa Karagianis. They’re going to be there for some meet and greets and signings and then at intermission they’re going to have an interview with our commentators.” LéTourneau, who hails

from Napanee, signed with TKO MMA in September. The June 24 event will be taped and sent to the Fight Network and UFC Fight Path. Both networks have expressed interest in broadcasting the event at a later date. Kelly says he’s seeking business sponsorships for the event with the option to have vendors set up at the

arena during the event. Anyone interested can contact 613-539-9944 or e-mail Diamondspromotions@gmai l.com. Tickets can also be obtained through that email. VIP ringside tables, which seats eight people, are available for $500. General admission is $25 per person. More information is available at Diamond Fight

League’s Facebook page. Kelly says he’s aiming to make this event the first of many to be held in Napanee. A second event has also been confirmed in Napanee for Nov. 18 known as Legends 2 Border Wars. This event will feature both men and women, with Ontario’s best going up against amateur fighters from New York State.

OHL DRAFT | Three locals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 “If the scoring stats aren’t there he’s always going to battle. Logan’s a good two-way forward. If you’re not scoring, as long as your two-way game is in place then good things will happen.” The coach was able to relate to White and Campbell in particular, as he too was drafted to his hometown club, having grown up near Belleville. “I came from Madoc and I played for the Bulls and I enjoyed being close to home and they will too,” said Bancroft. Of course now that their names have been called, that doesn’t mean their journey is over. “It’s a process,” said Bancroft. “The draft is just one small step, so every-

body’s got lots of work ahead of them now.” The drafted players will meet with their respective clubs in the coming weeks and then devise a plan for the summer. Come the fall they will look to impress in training camp and hope to make the Opening Night roster. This year’s draftees will look to follow in the footsteps of Aidan McFarland and Ryan Smith, both of which were local Red Devils who earned the call last spring. McFarland, whose Mississauga Steelheads are currently taking on the Oshawa Generals in the OHL semifinals, had eight goals and eight assists in 67 regular season games this year. Smith skated in 18 games with the Niagara IceDogs.

The Napanee Express will be in full swing next month, with a busy summer scheduled.

First pitch near for Express BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

apanee Express softball teams will get their seasons rolling next month as they prepare for another busy summer on the diamonds. Along with regular weekly league games, Softball Napanee has four major tournaments on the schedule for this year. They’ll start with their annual Invitational Boys Tournament, which takes

place June 10. Express red will be in fashion on the Canada Day weekend as they host the OASA Peewee Boys Eliminations, June 30July 2. Later that month on July 14-16 they’ll host the PWSA Novice Girls Qualifier and Aug. 12-13 will be the OASA Squirt Boys Provincials. Softball Napanee will field 14 teams this year, split evenly with sevens boys and seven girls squads. Tryouts will begin April 29 and 30 at the Napanee Fairgrounds.

Timely offense mixed with stellar goaltending proved to be a winning recipe for the Napanee Crunch Senior B team as they captured gold this weekend at the Ontario Women’s Provincial Championship, held in the Greater Toronto Area. Kathryn Falcone, Jenny Lemke and Kori Cembal each had a goal while Jessica Allison was strong in net to lead the Crunch to a 3-1 victory over the Woolwich Wild in the finals. It was a tightly contested game, with Cembal icing an empty-net goal to alleviate some pressure. The victory was a hard fought one for the Crunch, who played six games over the weekend with just 14

players on their roster. They opened the tournament, which featured the top Senior B teams from across the province, with a 2-1 record in the round robin. They bested the Clearview Ice Cats 4-1 and Milverton Mustangs 3-0 before falling to the London Wheelers 3-1. That placed them in the quarterfinals against the Lakeshore Lady Lakers. Violette Long, Falcone, Cembal and Amanda Stenson recorded goals to lead the Crunch to a 4-2 victory. Allison turned in a strong game to pick up the victory. In the semifinal they held on for a tense 1-0 victory over the Cornwall Akwesasne Wild with Tara Simpson earning the shutout with a fantastic game to lift

the Crunch into the gold medal game. Cembal provided the game’s lone goal. Simpson and Allison would prove to be a powerful goaltending duo throughout the weekend, giving the Crunch two solid options in net, which was

critical in a condensed weekend tournament. Earning the gold medal was a bit of unfinished business for this group, as in 2015 the Crunch Senior B team earned bronze at the OWHA Provincial championship.

In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother.

Her smiling way and pleasant face Are a pleasure to recall, She had a kindly word for each And she died beloved by all. Some day we hope to meet her Some day we know not when, To clasp her hand in the better land Never to part again.

With all our love, Harold, Jamie, Jason and families.

MEMORIAMS

SCERO - In loving memory of my dearest friend, Carole (nee Mallory), who passed away April 12, 2013. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, I feel again the bitter blow That never should have come. Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone, No one knows the heartache As I try to carry on. My heart still aches in sadness And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fill, In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. They say that time heals everything, But I know it isn’t so, Because it hurts as much today As it did four years ago. Sadly missed and will always be remembered, Pat and Doug Uens and family.

In loving memory of Greg, a very special husband, father, father-in-law and poppa, who left us April 14, 2016.

We watched you suffer, We watched you sigh, But all we could do Was just stand by, When the time came We suffered, too, For you never deserved What you went through. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But what we have are memories And your picture in a frame. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you,

To a good life came a peaceful end. She died as she lived, everyone’s friend, Upright and just in all her ways Loving and kind to the end of her days. We saw her suffer, heard her sigh, We could do nothing but sit close by, We have lost, but Heaven has gained, One of the best the world contained.

Lovingly remembered by son Peter (Debra) and family.

Golden Hawks ready for spring KASSAA season Action begins next week BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

The senior boys’ team was scheduled to play in pre-season tournament in Trenton yesterday afternoon, results weren’t known at presstime. On Tuesday they’ll be joined by the junior squad as they hit the road for Queen’s University’s Tindall Field to take part in a pre-season tournament hosted by the KCVI Blues. The junior team will be looking to improve on last year’s finish when they reached the KASSAA finals, losing 29-19 to the Regi Panthers last May. “Not a lot of returning guys in the junior group,” Hawks head coach Jim McKinney said during a practice on Monday. “Our

tournament, the Hawks will host a friendly against Regi on April 21. The season will begin April 25 with a road trip to Holy Cross. On the senior side, the Hawks are looking to rebound from a bit of a down year, when they were bounced from the KASSAA playoffs in the quarterfinals. McKinney returns to coach the Grade 11 and 12s, joined by Brent Mills and Dave Russell. Like the juniors, they will host Regi for a friendly on April 21. Their season will begin April 28 on the road against Frontenac. Meanwhile NDSS’ girls rugby team also has high hopes entering the season as they too are coming off an appearance in the 2016 finals. They will also be looking to knock off the Panthers to reclaim a KASSAA title after falling to them in the league finals last May.

Atom Selects roar back with six unanswered Beaver Sports

he Napanee Canadian Tire atom selects finished their hockey season with a dramatic come-from-behind 7-6 win over the Newmarket Redmen in the Stouffville Year Ender Bender Tournament last weekend. After leading by one early on, they fell behind 31, only to stage a comeback, with an unprecedented six goals in the third. With 90 seconds remaining and

trailing by one, they prepared to remove the goalie for an extra attacker, but instead pulled off their own miracle on ice by netting the final two tallies.
