Although the Greater Napanee tax policy review committee still has work to do, council has adopted its first recommendation, which will start the process of phasing in a higher tax rate for rural properties and a lower tax rate for urban properties. The taxation committee met last Thursday to discuss, among other matters, the tax-policy phase-in before Tuesday’s Greater Napanee regular council meeting. Though the taxation committee still has a couple more meeting to discuss policing and firm down on numbers, initial estimates were presented to council Tuesday to meet staff’s municipal tax bill deadline. The increase means urban ratepayers pay two per cent less on their total tax bill (including town, county and education) for 2016, and rural ratepayers pay two per cent more on their total tax bill. The shift represents 25 per cent of the current differential between the urban tax rate and the rural tax rate for town services to ‘Option 4’, one of the new tax policy options that could potentially be adopted. ‘Option 4’ would see policing costs equally distributed across Greater Napanee; only streetlights, sidewalks and a portion of fire services rebated for rural residents. Up to now, many of those outside the area serviced by municipal water and sewer paid 32 per cent less for town services than those within the serviced area. On Thursday, the committee unanimously endorsed the phase-in recommendation and council unanimously carried its recommendation on Tuesday; Ward 1 Councillor Mike Schenk was not in attendance at the meeting. However, council did have some reservations about passing a phase-in before the committee has determined its final calculation and recommendations.

POLICY | Policing issue still not settled

Council adopts new parking plan

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

An overall downtown parking plan was adopted by Greater Napanee council on Tuesday in the hopes of making more parking available, and to better utilize current parking spots. Town staff prepared the report so parking updating can be done over the next few years while Bridge Street and Dundas Street construction is being completed. James Timlin, Greater Napanee General Manager of Community and Corporate Services, said that since the downtown core was developed in the 1800s, the town has expanded greatly, making downtown parking a challenge. He said there are some privately owned lots the municipality could consider taking ownership of, and should also consider partnership opportunities with Downtown Napanee the Business Improvement Area. “If we took all the commercial development that is in the downtown core and applied our zoning bylaw, we would require 1,103 parking spaces. That does not include

the 125 for parking on Dundas Street. In addition to that, there’s on an average 130 businesses a year,” Timlin explained. He said upcoming new projects such as new apartments going in at the old Gibbard Furniture Shop Ltd. building, additional secondlevel apartments on Dundas Street and the new Napanee Area Community Health Centre will pose even more problems for downtown parking. The parking plan includes upgrading, new signage and line painting for existing parking spots and lots, as well as the implementation of new parking spots. “I’ve broken the downtown core into four quadrants,” Timlin said. The quadrants run from west to east along the downtown core. Timlin presented a pagelong recommendation to council, which included 12 recommendations in order to move forward with the parking plan. Council discussed and debated the plan before passing nine of the 12 recommendations and referring others to the BIA before moving forward. “This is something we’ve

kicked around for a long, long time and we’ve never had something this extensive,” said Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester. “I think the BIA needs to have some kind of input in it, not anything earth shattering but I think they need to have time to look at it.” Though Ward 3 Councillor Roger Cole agreed the BIA should be heavily involved in the plan, he urged council to move forward with the parking plan so staff can start painting and implementing signage right away. “There’s urgency in getting this done,” said Cole. “To hold off for any length of time at all, we’re just going to forestall something that has to be done.” Mayor Gord Schermerhorn proposed that council move all recommendations with the exception of numbers 1, 2, and 9, which include formalizing parking arrangements with a private owner, identifying downtown properties for purchase, and to explore financial partnerships with the BIA. Cole and Isbester moved this motion, which was carried unanimously by council.

Quadrant 1 is located at the west end of Dundas Street, where the new Napanee Area Community Health Centre is located, as well as the County Memorial building. This area includes 194 parking spaces, 80 of which are private public parking, as well as another 55 private parking spaces. It also includes 73 street parking spaces. Quadrant 2 is located just west of Centre Street and includes the boat ramp and a number of downtown retail, commercial and restaurant buildings. This area includes 221 parking spaces, 69 of which are public parking, 98 on-street parking, 23 private public parking, and 46 private parking. Quadrant 3 includes Town Hall, the downtown methadone clinic, government buildings including probation and parole office and PELA CFDC, the BIA and a number of second floor apartments. This area includes 282 parking spaces, which includes 13 for public parking, 27 on-street parking, 34 private public, and 165 private parking spots. Quadrant 4 includes three banks, the Napanee Legion, second floor apartments and retail/restaurants. There are 244 parking spaces in this area, which includes 91 for public parking, 17 for on-street parking, 23 private public spots, and 83 private parking spots.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I have difficulty with the concept that we’re doing a phase-in before the final calculations have been made and that’s my only issue with this,” said Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser. “The 25 per cent is a small amount. Is it going to change in the end? Probably. Do we know how much? We can probably guess it’s pretty close but I still have difficulty phasing in anything when we don’t really know what the end number will be,” he continued. “I agree with Max (Kaiser) that I would like to know what the end result is going to be but I think we have to move forward and this is our first step as far as I’m concerned,” said Ward 3 Councillor Roger Cole. Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester said, “the taxation committee has done all this work to come up with it and this was a unanimous decision of theirs at the last taxation committee meeting, so therefore, if we don’t move with what they want to do then we could be sitting here until the cows come home before we make a decision on this,” after moving that council adopt the 25 per cent phase-in recommendation from the committee. On Thursday, “the committee revisited its prior discussions and confirmed that, irrespective of how the matter of how OPP service is finally dealt with by the committee, that a level of taxation

change will be required,” wrote Gary Scandlan, the chair of the taxation policy review committee, in a letter to council advising it of the committee’s decision. The tax policy review committee still has to settle on how the cost of policing will be allocated between urban and rural areas. The committee has agreed that council should area-rate sidewalks, street lighting and ‘reactive’ fire services (with costs being allocated by blending of calls and response time, and allocated to the existing rural/urban boundary); all other town services would be charged at an equal rate across the municipality. In his letter, Scandlan did note that area-rating for street lights and sidewalks could be reconsidered if it’s deemed that the staff work to “isolate the assessment for all of the individual benefiting properties each was worth the effort given the potential nominal impact on the property tax for these properties.” He went on to say, “the committee has asked staff to provide a response regarding how much effort would be required to undertake this task. Based on the response the committee may elect to area-rate as suggested, allocate a portion of costs to the rural vs. urban area or include in the general tax levy.” Once the committee has put forward a final recommendation to council, the phase-in would be spread out over three years. The next taxation committee meeting is scheduled to take place May 17 in the council chambers at 7 p.m.

Culture Days organizers to host workshop BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Those interested in getting involved with this year’s Culture Days activities in Greater Napanee will have the opportunity to attend an information workshop Wednesday on the provincial-wide event. Last year was the first year Greater Napanee participated in the Ontariowide cultural event. Locally, the first year was a success, placing Greater Napanee within the top 10 communities in Ontario participating in Culture Days. This coming Wednesday, an information seminar will be held at Ellena’s Café starting at 6 p.m. for community members interested either in participating in Culture Days or just looking to gain more information about it. The meeting is free of charge and open to everyone. “It’s a great introduction for people who don’t know a lot about Culture Days or want to find out more, but it’s also an opportunity to get a little more indepth information,” said Jim Barber, Culture Days Committee member. A provincial representative from Culture Days will be attending the seminar in Napanee next week to

answer questions from the public. “The person coming will be giving all different sorts of examples of different types of activities that different people have done. We do have people saying to us that they want to get involved but they don’t know what to do so we direct them to the Culture Days website, but this is a great chance for someone to come and hear about it,” Barber said. Barber said there was an “incredible amount of community buy-in” last year among businesses and local artists and he hopes that momentum will continue through to this year’s event. “There was music up and down the street and some artists had art on display,” said Barber. “The whole point of Culture Days is it’s meant to be grassroots. It’s meant to be bottom up. It’s not a group of people organizing things and telling everybody what to do… it’s meant to be a populist kind of thing to show people what great arts and culture we have in the area,” Barber continued. Culture Days is a handson, interactive event that hosts artists ranging from musicians, painters, sculptures, authors, and others. This year’s Culture Days events will take place

Sept. 30 to Oct 2, which in Greater Napanee falls on the same weekend as the Scarecrow Festival and Hometown Market. “The Scarecrow Festival is going to be doing all of its stuff up at Town Hall and on John Street, the Culture Days oriented stuff will mostly happen on Dundas Street. There’s going to be a lot of encouragement to go back and forth between the two,” said Barber. This year marks the seventh annual Ontario-wide Culture Days event, which will take place in more than 900 municipalities across the province.

After Duffygate It hadn’t been in the news for some time, but last week, the Senator Mike Duffy saga finally came to a close — and it didn’t end the way many had expected it would when the case began. Judge Charles Vaillancourt found Duffy not guilty of the 31 charges against him, ranging from fraud to bribery, in relation to his activities as a senator. One of the main reason why Duffy was acquitted of breaking the rules was because, well, there were no ‘rules’ to break — the Senate operated under a hodgepodge of different guidelines with no shortage of loopholes and ‘grey’ areas. But as Duffy was acquitted of the charges against him, the judge who presided over the case, in his ruling, provided harsh criticism of how the Prime Minister’s Office under then-PM Stephen Harper operated in the affair; how the $90,000 provided by the PM’s chief of staff Nigel Wright was essentially a means by which the whole Duffy affair could be swept under the rug, saving the Conservative government the embarrassment, and with the public being none the wiser. There are a couple of takeaways from last week’s ruling, and indeed from the whole saga. The first is one we’ve outlined in this space before: if the rules governing the senate aren’t sufficient to keep the senate’s members on the straight-and-narrow (or to prosecute them if they fail to abide by those rules), then the rules of the senate need to be clarified and expanded. No more loopholes, no more grey areas, no more opportunities for misinterpretation or abuse. Judge Vaillancourt said as much in his ruling. Although Duffy’s conduct is clearly not criminal (as the court case obviously proves), we don’t think it qualifies as ‘good’, or ‘recommended’ or, in some cases, ‘ethical.’ If we can’t trust these officials to know to do the right thing, we need to put laws in place to make sure, uh, ‘misinterpretations’ don’t happen again. The second takeaway is really a cautionary tale for the Trudeau Liberal government and any government to follow: when you do the politically expedient to avoid embarrassment, you run the risk of exponentially magnifying that embarrassment. And let’s face it, it’s undoubtedly painfully tempting for those working for the politicians, or the politicians themselves, to try to sweep something under the rug. As we’re sure members of the former PMO can now attest, sometimes that approach can seriously backfire. It’s easy to say the Duffy trial was a colossal waste of time and money, compounding the ugliness of an already ugly situation. As with all ugly situations, however, there’s an opportunity to correct and to learn. Maybe that’s all we can do, now that Duffygate dust is finally settling.

We want to hear from you! Send your letters to beaver@bellnet.ca, or to 72 Dundas St. E., Napanee, ON, K7R 1H9

Letter to the Editor

Lots of help from lots of people for Earth Day It was made-to-order sunny and not too hot, not too cold for our Earth Day community clean-up. Numbers and results were huge, and it is our belief that there is no more litter-free community in Ontario or wider. They came out in groups, organizations, local business and most impressively as lone individuals. Two-and-ahalf hours in and Progressive Waste volunteers had collected 145 bags (or 1,080 kgs), and there were many, many more bags and junk waiting to be picked up throughout Greater Napanee. It is impossible to mention all the few hundred names but a sense of pride and accomplishment must warm them as they see the results of their work. The exemplary Guides and Scouting movement, the MyFm bunch, McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Giant Tiger crews all joined in. The friendly firefighters, the Civitan Club, a nice Century 21 group and several churches pushed up the numbers. Sue Carrington and The Prince Charles School led the schools again this year. Good for Grace United Church, showing up with the same numbers as the Church of Jesus Christ LDS this year.

Thanks to the town and Novelis Kingston for gloves and bags and also to the town employees that support this effort. MyFM, you’ve been terrific with your spirited energy and push to ensure that our Earth Day week message is heard! Thank you to the Beaver for their excellent

promotion and coverage. We’ve once again completed our contribution toward Earth Day’s worldwide ‘billion acts of green.’ Take a casual tour around to check our all the parks and highway entrances. Drive out Palace Road and compare it to Kingston and Belleville and you’ll be impressed with your town. We now need council to dig in and find solutions to retain these results so that this large and cheerful group of volunteers can spend the Saturday doing as others do.

Dairy club has busy spring Well 2016 is here and the Lennox and Addington 4-H Dairy Club is excited to be reunited once again! We’re looking forward to another great year of learning, making new friends and showing our calves! We held our first meeting on April 13 at the Napanee Fire Hall. The 2016 club could possibly be the biggest yet, with 24 members! During the meeting we got acquainted, went over club business, elected our officers, discussed possible meeting ideas and locations, and concluded with a snack. The Dairy Club executive was elected as Follows: ■ President: Sarina Goodfellow ■ Vice-President: Kaitlin Kimmett ■ Secretary: Ally Hudgins ■ Club Reporter(s) and Photographers(s): Payton Brown, Maddy Fretts, Krystina Jones

Our second meeting was held on April 19 at Pynacker, Holsteins owned by Gary Sonneveld and family. As it is at the beginning of every meeting, we recited the 4-H pledge and discussed new business such as the possibility of new jackets for the younger members. We learned that Gary Sonneveld is the second generation at Pynacker Holsteins and in the last few years took over the farm from his parents. He milks 50-55 cows in a tie-stall barn, is avid about his genetics. He has recently invested in a new silo and two Whale Fans. We were then introduced to our guest speaker Scott Brown. Scott, a veteran of the dairy club. He recently graduated from Kemptville College in 2013 and is now working for Dairy Herd Improvement as a sales and service representative. Scott was raised

on his family’s farm, Brownland Holsteins in Enterprise. After we got acquainted with our host and guest speaker the club split into two groups. The younger members headed off to learn about calf nutrition and calf selection, while the older members went with Scott to learn about milk recording and careers in agriculture. As a Dairy Herd Improvement customer, a milk tester comes to your farm using the program and takes a milk sample from each cow. He or she then sends the samples back to the lab where they’re tested. The milk is tested for fat and protein levels, the somatic cell count (white blood cells in the milk), and the same sample can be used to see if the cow is pregnant, or has any diseases like mastitis, Johne’s, leukosis, and Bovine viral diarrhea. The

program also helps the farmer with sire evaluation, genetic indexes and genetic sales. As well, it can be a helpful tool because it helps the farmer benchmark and make plans for the future. This program helps the farmer identify what cows are excelling in the herd and can help to make decisions about new feeding options. If his cows have a low butterfat percentage, he may need to add more fibre to his ration. Fibre can be found in course hay, corn silage, etc. At the end of the meeting, we thanked our host and guest by giving them each a gift of locally made maple syrup. We all came back together as a group and discussed our next meeting date/place and concluded with our usual snack. Maddy Fretts, Press Reporter, L&A 4-H Dairy Club

■ A committee charged with deciding where a new four-county regional jail would be situated announced that it had selected a property in Napanee to build the new facility. Just where the Quinte Detention Centre would be located, however, was still being kept close to the vest. The chair of the committee, Fred Beckett of Stirling, said that before the exact location would be released, the recommendation would first be presented to the county councils involved in the process; further, purchase of the property had yet to be finalized. ■ Conservation officers with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests seized more than 500 pounds of pickerel, along with a large quantity of spears, nets and flashlights, in an effort to combat poaching in the area. The seizures were made over the course of a few weeks. Although charges were laid in connection with the seizures, most of those who’d been charged had yet to stand trial. The ODLF estimated the total value of all the fish and equipment seized was about $500. The equipment would likely be returned to its owners for a fee.

30 Years Ago April 30, 1986 ■ Amherst Island residents were advised at a public meeting that, although some modest improvements to ferry service could be possible, a larger ferry, increased service or a bridge were not likely, and might be impossible. At an estimated price tag of $100 million, the construction of a bridge to the island was essentially ruled out. Residents on the island were concerned about the inadequacy of the current ferry, which was experiencing routine line-ups of cars during commuter hours. Farmers, meanwhile, were finding it difficult if not impossible to transport large equipment on the current ferry boat. ■ Homeowners in Napanee were about to see their properties re-assessed for the first time in 30 years. Napanee council voted to have properties reassessed to 1986 market values. Although the process was expected to cause a few problems, Clerk Jack McNamee explained that the reassessment was the only way to ensure that all property owners were paying their fair share in property taxes. At that point in time, the average Napanee property was assessed as being worth about $4,000.

Nursery breaks new ground with Napanee operation Staff Reporter

Greater Napanee is now home to the first propagation nursery of its kind, specializing in bamboo, ornamental grasses and shrubs. Jplant Propagation Nursery held its official ribbon-cutting event last week after two years of building, construction and preparation. The nursery is located north of Highway 401 on Drive-In Road and supplies plants to local nurseries and garden centres. Mr. Kerjean, owner and operator of Jplant, is a master engineer in horticulture from France. The “J” in the name stands for “jeune” meaning “young” in French. Jplant marketing manager Melody Tomkow said Kerjean has developed all his plants himself. “The plants are all propagated from another mother plant. It’s making a cutting and then rooting each plant. Every plant you see, with the exception of the mother plants, are plants that he’s propagated himself,” Tomkow explained. The nursery is the first of its kind in eastern Ontario. Jplant now allows for local nurseries, garden centres, landscapers and markets to use and sell locally grown and harvested plants, which means shorter travel distances and hardier plants. “We’ve had so many

two years, Jplant has purchased from and contracted from a number of local businesses, including Don Hart Construction, Lafarge, and Canadian Tire in Napanee. An electrical contractor based out of Odessa was hired, as well as Daltco Electric in Kingston. Barriefield Garden in Kingston supplied Jplant’s mother plants for cuttings and propagation. Tomkow said Jplant gives local farming a fresh, new perspective — which she says is something that’s on the rise in rural communities. “This is part of a trend in economic development, where there are newer types of agriculture or horticulture enterprises and it’s having an impact on rural communities,” Tomkow said. “It’s really, really nice to see properties and the economy being reinAshley Espinoza-Staff vigorated with new farmers.

Statistics show less than half of households have emergency kit at the ready

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

N an effort to stress the importance of being prepared for an emergency affecting the younger generation, Ontario’s Office of Fire Marshals is speaking their language. That’s why 2016’s Emergency Preparedness Week’s theme, which runs May 1-7, is ‘Prepare Your Selfie’. Social media users are encouraged to snap a selfie with their emergency kits and upload it to Twitter using #PrepareyourSelfie and #EPWeek2016. Though it may seem a bit light-hearted for a serious topic, the fact is a lot of people just don’t seem to be getting the message. First responders are doing everything they can to help spread the message and encourage households to have a kit. “A 2014 survey in emergency preparedness and resilience released by Statistics Canada showed only 47 per cent of Canadians have an emergency survival kit,” said Randy Cook, public educator with Greater Napanee Emergency Services.

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

Greater Napanee Emergency Services is stressing the importance of having an emergency kit — like the one pictured here —during Emergency Preparedness Week. That said, Cook notes, “87 per cent agree that having a few items set aside in case of an emergency is a great idea.” Basically the word is out as to the importance of being prepared and yet still more than half of Canadians haven’t taken the steps to be ready in case of a disaster.

A basic kit should include hand crank flash light and radio, hand powered can opener, sturdy based candles, canned food, water, blankets, a first aid kit as well as items tailored to specific family members such as prescription medication. Having some pet food on hand in the kit is also highly recommended as

well. “History tells us that emergencies and disasters can happen at any time, statistics tell us most people aren’t prepared,” said Cook. Though Greater Napanee has for the most part been able to avoid natural disasters, its location in relation to several major transportation arteries

means residents could be at risk if hazardous chemicals were ever spilled in an accident. “In this area we have highways 401, 41 and 2 in which a lot of goods pass by,” Cook pointed out. “We also have CP rail, CN rail as well as a lot of air traffic.” That’s not to say weather can’t be devastating either as the 1998 ice storm demonstrated nearly 20 years ago, affecting four million families and creating billions of dollars worth of damage. Experts suggest that individual families pack enough supplies to be self sustainable for at least 72 hours — because it’s hard to know when emergency crews will be able to get to you. “Emergency responders may be at an incident that holds a higher priority than yours,” Cook explained. “The worst hit areas will be dealt with first and things will be done in a prioritized fashion. In these cases it would be imperative to have a few supplies on hand to sustain yourself.” For a complete list of items to gather for an emergency kit, visit www.GetPrepared.gc.ca.

Mansi Patel, a Grade 8 student at Southview, represented ‘team Superman’ for the school’s spin-a-thon event that helped raise money for the purchase of Spark ‘brain bikes’ in each classroom.

Southview ‘spins’ for new stationary bikes

BY REBA PENNELL

Special to the Beaver Students at Southview Public School were racing their hearts out last Thursday to raise money to help pay for Spark ‘brain bikes’ for classrooms. Organized by Aline Larochelle, the event took place from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., where students in all grades were on stationary bikes, rotating every 10 minutes with their classmates, to ensure everyone participated. The two Grade Eight classes were in front of the school, with one student from each class spinning on their separated bikes. In homage to the new superhero movie Batman v. Superman the bikes were named ‘Batman’ and ‘Superman.’ Spark stationary ‘brain

bikes’ are used in many classrooms to keep kids motivated. Sometimes, a student may feel antsy siting in their chair; the brain bike allows students to pedal to get their blood flowing and allows them to have more energy while still learning and their class time not being interrupted. Larochelle’s own students were her helpers for the day, making sure students rotated and making sure that things stayed on track in either the gym or out front, depending on where Larochelle was not. People were also given the option to buy raffle tickets, in order to win their own spin bike. Snacks were donated by Metro for students to enjoy and stay energized and engaged. This event was held in honour of the ‘Health and

Wellness Week’ at the school, making sure students and even faculty take care of themselves and their mental health. Larochelle said that she wasn’t sure if this is going to be an annual event but it was a good opportunity for students and demonstrated the importance of stay healthy and active. The purpose of the spina-thon was to raise money for the school and to pay back some of the money that was used to buy the bikes. People driving by could stop in to make a donation without getting out of their vehicle. Students from every class were also collecting donations to make money. Students logged more than 400 hours of spinning between all of the students. Over $5,000 was raised for the event.

Butterfly and Bee Pollinator kits plus plants that attract, feed and provide all of the essentials needed to help their populations.

Large selection of herbs, vegetable plants, seeds, onion sets, fruit bushes, rhubarb, strawberries, Heirloom & organic varieties for any size garden.

he tradition of Mother's Day is actually centuries old and goes all the way back to the times of the ancient Greeks, who held festivities to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods. Later, early Christians celebrated the Mother's Festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. In 1872 Julia Ward Howe organized a day for mothers dedicated to peace. That day turned out to be a landmark date in the history of Mother's Day. I n 1907, Anna M. Jarvis, a Philadelphia schoolteacher, spawned a movement to set up a national Mother's Day in honor of her own mother. She solicited the help of hundreds of legislators and prominent businessmen to create a special day that would be set

aside just to honor mothers. On May 7, 1914, a resolution providing that the second Sunday in May be designated Mother's Day was introduced by Representative James T. Heflin of Alabama and Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas. The resolution passed both Houses and on May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the first official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May. He asked Americans to give a public expression of reverence to all mothers through the celebration of this special day. Since that time, Mother's Day has flourished in the United States and Canada with the second Sunday of May becoming the most popular day of the year.

The 411 on Mother’s Day flowers

other’s Day is an annual holiday that honors motherhood and provides an opportunity for men, women and children to show their mothers how much they appreciate them. Many people feel it’s customary to give mothers gifts on Mother’s Day, when moms take the day off from chores and relax with their families. Flowers make for popular Mother’s Day gifts, and well-wishers who want to give the special women in their lives flowers this year can con-

sider a host of varieties. Carnations Carnations are popular Mother’s Day flowers, perhaps because they are available in a number of colours. That means it’s highly likely sons, daughters, husbands and others gifting moms this Mother’s Day can find some carnations in Mom’s favorite colour. Ask your florist about what each carnation colour symbolizes, as each has its own unique meaning. Pink carnations, for example, are believed to symbolize a mother’s love.

Roses Few mothers can resist roses, making them one of the more popular flowers come Mother’s Day. Roses are symbolic of love and make the perfect floral gift for mothers who like traditional flowers. If you want to spice things up, order a bouquet made

up of roses of various colours. Daffodils Yellow is synonymous with spring, and daffodils can highlight the season in which Mother’s Day takes place while also providing a cheerful look that’s perfect for Mother’s Day floral bouquets. Daffodils can be given on their

own or added to mixed bouquets. Daffodils also last quite a while when cared for correctly, giving moms more than just a few days to enjoy their bouquets. Freesia Like daffodils, freesia are long-lasting, meaning mothers will still be enjoying them long

after Mother’s Day has come and gone. The inviting fragrance of freesia makes bouquets of these flowers popular choices for Mother’s Day gifts. Freesia also come in many colours, proving Mother’s Day gift givers a greater chance of finding flowers their mothers will love.

Tips for dining out on Mother's Day

other's Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother's Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family.

A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother's Day meals. Mother's Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. * Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance of Mother's Day. It's never too early to put your name on the reservation list. Don't forget Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8, 2016. * Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you're bound to

Brunch

spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don't arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. * Consider dining out a day be-

fore or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mother's Day, and as a result kitchen and wait staffs might be overtaxed. What's more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother's Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. * Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out.

Eagle feather helps uphold First Nations traditions BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A local Justice of the Peace has been presented with an eagle feather, which will allow First Nations people to swear on the feather in her courtroom. Lisa Cadue is Mohawk and works as a peer support worker for First Nations people in Kingston. She and her brother-in-law, Randy Cadue, who is Kickipoo, met Justice of the Peace Donna Doelman in Kingston last June at a seminar about First Nations culture. The three arrived early and Doelman asked Lisa and Randy about their culture and at the end of the day Lisa presented Doelman with an eagle feather.

“When I started beading this feather, I knew I was going to give it to someone. I knew it wasn’t for me,” Lisa said. Doelman said it was “such an honour” to be presented with the eagle feather and has spent most of the past year learning about First Nations’ culture. “I certainly share the belief that people meet for a reason. Why was it that Randy and Lisa and I were the first to show up? We had all this wonderful time to connect,” said Doelman. Lisa said a Justice of the Peace having an eagle feather available to First Nations people is extremely important. “It’s like putting your hand on the Bible. Most people, if they’re very religious,

they could put their hand on the Bible and they could not lie,” Lisa explained. “Anybody can put their hand on a Bible when it’s not their own culture or their religion and they can lie straight through their teeth… To touch this eagle feather and lie, I could not do it.” Lisa and Randy explained that being presented with an eagle feather is the highest offering someone can be gifted. “The eagle, because they fly the highest, they carry our prayers up to the Creator,” Lisa explained. In Doelman’s court, people of all First Nations cultures can use the eagle feather. “All First Nations people use the eagle feather because we’re all taught —

whether we’re Ojibwa, Cree, Saulteau, Mi’kmaq, Kickipoo, Cherokee — we all use the feather because that is the highest bird that flies in the air and it always takes our prayers up to the Creator. We use it at our powwows, we use it to smudge with,” Lisa said. Lisa said she presented the feather to Doelman not just so she can use it in her

A guide to kitchen countertops he kitchen is one room in your home that you can guarantee will get foot traffic. It’s the perfect place to enjoy delicious meals with the family and entertain guests. It only makes sense that you’d want one of the most central rooms in your house looking sharp. An important part of updating or remodeling your kitchen is selecting what type of countertops to install. This can be a challenging task for many homeowners. Here are the 2016 kitchen countertop trends and get up-to-speed with the latest materials, styles, colors and designs. Natural stones are making their way into kitchens everywhere and they’re gorgeous. Marble, granite, soapstone and slate are a few of the most common kitchen countertop stones that are trending. Of course with any home upgrade, there’s personal preference and pros and cons to take into account before making a decision. Marble is specifically being installed to bring polished elegance to kitchens. The surface is smooth and cool which is ideal for baking and rolling dough. The downside is that marble does stain and scratch more easily than granite. The only natural stones harder than granite are diamonds, rubies and sapphires. This should tell you how durable and functional granite is in a kitchen. It’s by far one of the most common natural stone countertop materials used amongst homeowners. While it’s not exclusively for high-end kitchens anymore, it’s still pricey. Timeless soapstone and slate are beautiful options, but they’re two stones where

Another benefit of this wood is that, if it chips or burns, you can lightly sand out the scratch or burn and apply mineral oil for an easy fix Believe it or not, laminate is still making its way into kitchens everywhere, but this time with an upgraded and polished look. Upscale laminate allows you to get the appearance of an expensive material at a lower-cost. Make sure you ask to have the edge finished to mimic granite or stone. Get creative with laminate and you can recreate modern, butcher block or luxurious countertops. While laminate countertops are very low maintenance, remember that they’re not heat-resistant and are more vulnerable to scratches and chips. Regardless if you like it or not, one thing we do know for sure, is that they’re trending.

Benn makes statement in Olympic tuneup Napanee native eyes Rugby Sevens National team

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

NDSS’ Zoye Lloyd has just enough momentum to carry the ball across the try-line while two Blues defenders attempt to tackle her to the ground during Tuesday’s KASSAA game, played in Napanee.

Triple-header sweep for rugby Hawks

Brittany Benn’s three try output wasn’t enough for Canada to clinch a series win on home soil, leaving them to settle for fifth at the Women's Seven Rugby Series, held earlier this month in Langford, BC. The tournament was part of an international series being held all over the world in advance of the 2016 Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They serve both as a chance for players to train and for coaches to evaluate their players as they finalize their rosters for the Summer Games. Benn, a native of Napanee, had a try in Canada's 38-0 win over Japan to get the home team rolling on a perfect 3-0 record on Day 1. Their run for a first place finish was cut short the next day however as they failed to hold a 12-0 lead over France with just two minutes left to play, allowing two tries to fall 14-12 in the quarter-finals. Though their chance at first ended their, the Canadians still finished strong by shutting out Russia 27-0 and bested Spain 21-5.

Britt Benn (front) avoids a tackle during the Women’s Seven Series, held in Langford, B.C. Benn had a try in each of the final matches. “It’s a team sport,” Benn said of her three try tournament effort. “We train everyday and implement a system that works well for all of us. As long as we stick to the game plan then the

score is usually in our favour.” With their fifth place finish the Canadians are fourth overall in the season standings, trailing England, New Zealand and Australia.

Crunch Toast Top Players Of 2015-16

Girls, senior and junior boys shut out Blues

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

ries came quickly and early for the NDSS Golden Hawks girls rugby team Tuesday afternoon as they shutout the KCVI Blues 40-0. The Hawks forced a turn over on the first play of the game as Rayanne West ran it in for their first six tries in the first half alone. They made good on the return kick as Zoye Lloyd carried it over the try line, building a 10-0 lead before the game was even five minutes old. NDSS spent the majority of the opening half on offense, completely dominating every aspect of the game. By the close of the game Ashley Couveur, Charlotte Elliot, Jackie Campbell and

Kalli McLaughlan all chimed in with a single try while Tiana Snow had two. “We got a little bit of upper year contribution for sure, like Zoye Lloyd, Morgan Morris, Ashley Couveur and Erika Barton obvious is a U-18 Canadian player,” said Hawks coach Sean Dunleavey, who returns to coach after a one-year absence. “But it’s a lot of Grade 10s and a group of Grade 9s. It reminded me of the really keen younger groups during some of our dynasty years, if that’s what you want to call them.” With the comfortable lead at the half Dunleavy subbed in a lot of his first year players and while the offense slowed a little, the defense still managed to keep the Blues out of the end zone.

The eight-try output was a nice turn around from the Hawks’ first game of the season, when they were shutout 5-0 to Regi last Thursday. Dunleavy said in that game he was more focused on the fundamentals and was pleased how the team played against the reigning KASSAA champions. It was also a marked improvement over the last time the Hawks had faced the Panthers, when they allowed 60 points. The Hawks will continue their three game home stand to open the season tomorrow when they host the Sydenham Golden Eagles. Game time is 6 p.m. In the senior boys game, the Hawks again shut out the Blues.

Despite her solid individual effort Benn was more concerned about getting the team ready for the bigger prize. “These tours are stepping stones toward the 2016 Olympics,” said Benn. “I think it’s important to work out all the kinks we have now and then when we go back to the drawing board and train after the tours we can make some adjustments moving forward.” The format played in the tournament is the same as what will be played at the Olympic games-seven players per side playing seven minute halves. That leaves for very little error in a must win game and means every player plays a critical role. Though her strong showing in B.C. bodes well for her chances at making that final Olympic roster, Benn says the competition is tough in the Canadian camp. “You can say (the evaluation process) is series by series, but really it’s day by day,” said Benn. “Rugby is a game of risk, it’s very physical and injuries are going to happen. I just got back from one, it’s tough. It’s all about your mentality but if you want it bad you’ll do your rehab and recovery and you’ll be back.” The Canadian players will have one final stop on

the tour, May 28-29 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, to state their case to the coaching staff. After that they will just train as a unit in B.C. ahead of the games. The roster that is selected will make a brief stop in Toronto for some final training before they board a plane for Brazil in August. The opening ceremonies will take place Aug. 5 with the first day of rugby scheduled to take place the next day.

“We’re all going to be first-time Olympians when the team is made.” Britt Benn, Team Canada “There’s no official team yet and there won’t be for awhile yet,” said Benn, who has been devoting just about every waking hour of the last 10 years trying to make the roster. “But until then you just take it day-byday and try to become a better athlete and rugby player. That’s all the coaches ask for that you put the effort in.” Though she’s not taking anything for granted and knows she still has work to do, Benn has put at least a little thought into what it’ll be like to make the national

Tiana Snow is a member of the NDSS Golden Hawks girls rugby team. On Tuesday she led the team with two tries, helping them to their first victory of the season in a 40-0 defeat of the visiting Blues. She will look to continue to power the team’s offense tomorrow afternoon as they look for a second victory.

team. “It’s going to be probably pretty overwhelming for a lot of us,” said Benn. “We’re all going to be first time Olympians when the team is made.” In fact every rugby player at the games will be a first time Olympian.That’s because rugby sevens will make its debut at the Summer Games, marking the first time rugby will be played at the Olympics since 1924, though that was 15 a side. To date the closest Benn has come to an Olympic setting is the Pan-Am games. She was a member of the team that captured gold last summer in Toronto. For now, though she can see the finish line for her ultimate dream, she’s not going to get too far ahead of herself. “I want to be the best I can be during that time,” Benn said of leading up to the roster selection. “If at the end of the day I can say ‘did I try my hardest today?’ Submitted photo if the answer is yes I can be Representing the Victory Barbell Club at the Masters Weightlifting Champihappy with myself.

Bubba, Do not stand by my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am a diamond glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn’s rain, When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night, Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

Much Love, Mom, David, Percy, Paul, Peter

This not only improves cardiovascular health, maintains a healthy weight, and supports good mental health for both owner and pet, but it strengthens the human-animal bond. WEDNESDAY Love your pet? See your vet! Everybody love's their pet, yet 53.9 percent of cat owners and 48.6 percent of dog owners do not take their pet to the veterinarian unless it is visibly sick or injured. Pets often hide signs of illness. Regular check-ups are vital to catching health problems early. Not only can early treatment mean better health for your pet, it can also save money. THURSDAY Pet population control: Know your role. Do your part to prevent pet overpopulation. Talk to your veterinarian about when you should have your pet spayed or neutered. Avoid unplanned breeding through spay/neuter, containment or managed breeding. FRIDAY Emergencies happen. Be prepared. Include your pets in your family’s emergency plan. SATURDAY Give them a lifetime of love Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before – but as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening, and improve the chances of a longer and healthier life for your pet.

Taking on the cyber-bullies an ongoing challenge BY REBA PENNELL

Special to the Beaver YBER-BULLYING — an unfortunate byproduct of today’s ‘wired’ lifestyle — seems to be omnipresent. However, there are steps being taken to try to reverse this technology-enabled problem While bullying has been around forever, cyber-bullying has emerged as information technology spread. With platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, people are able to connect with their peers around the clock, leaving virtually anyone with a computer or cellphone vulnerable. And, the bullying can happen anywhere — not just in the classroom or the schoolyard. The most common form of cyber-bullying is receiving threatening or hurtful messages, according to Statistics Canada. Females are

more than likely to be bullied than males in many aspects, including cyberbullying. Females are also more than likely to endure emotional abuse at the hands of bullies. Jessica Silver, the Supervising Principal of Safe Schools for the Limestone District School Board, says that it is difficult to keep track of students today because instead of Facebook, they are using media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat — platforms that parents and other adults aren’t using. Some ways to stop cyber-bullying are blocking the person of the site that they are using or the bully being reported on the website. Students should also not respond to the cyberbullying, as many bullies feed off of their victims’ reactions. Kids are also encouraged to keep the messages, in case they become threatening, in which then it should be

reported to police. “What we hope that the students would tell an adult, tell teacher or administrator and in some cases have the police come in,” said Silver. Students are also encouraged to take screenshots of the bullying and to keep copies of everything that has been said, whether that be keeping messages or printing things out. While cyber-bullying is not 100 per cent preventable there are ways to teach students that what they are doing is wrong and that hopefully, it will help better the students. A part of the Safe Schools program is going into classrooms and getting students engaged with learning about cyber-bullying and what can be done to

prevent it. In elementary schools, meanwhile, teachers work with students to learn about problem solving and using their words rather than their actions, according to Silver. While in past years there have been multiple presentations in high schools, Safe Schools has been using more interactive and engaging programs to get students involved. The Canadian Red Cross has an anti-bullying program that trains high school students around working with their school and anti-bullying. Safe Schools aims to teach students the value of not posting mean or hurtful things on the Internet and to watch what they post. Once it is out on the Internet, it is there forever.

“Social media is the new reality and we really try to teach kids how to be appropriate on the Internet. People are starting to understand. Think about it before you post. Is it positive or helpful? Or hurtful? We do spend a lot of time on that,” said Silver. Parents can reduce the amount of time that their child spends on the Internet; they can also make sure they know what sites their child uses and check in with them frequently. Parents should also teach their kids about the appropriate use of technology and social media sites. Not surprisingly, cyberbullying can have negative effects on young students. Students who are being bullied may become more depressed or feel increas-

ingly isolated. There also may be health concerns, like thoughts of suicide or drug and alcohol addiction. Students may also start falling behind in school and not doing as well because of their decreased self-esteem. While there are many programs out there that focus on anti-bullying, it can be a challenge to ‘get through’ to students who are bullied, or who are doing the bullying. Silver says that this school board is trying to keep up with pace of change with new research that is presented. They are trying to keep things current with their presentations and engagement within the classrooms. “As things evolve, we evolve with them,” said Silver.

this time of year can be planted in the garden, unless it has already flushed new, soft growth: an indication that it was forced in a greenhouse and is now frost-tender. All woody plants that are dormant at the time you purchase them are ready to plant this weekend. Dig and divide. This is a great time of year to dig up perennials and divide them into sections to replant around your yard or give away to friends and neighbours. Hosta, monarda, daylilies: you name it. Soil prep. Whatever you plant, be sure you prepare the soil well before you place your newly acquired plants in the ground. About 90 per cent of your success depends on it. If you are making a new garden in clay-based soil, be sure to remove existing soil 30 to 40 cm deep. Replace it with

triple mix, mounded 10 cm higher than the current grade, as the new soil will settle. If you are planting in an existing bed, add four to five centimetres of new, quality soil and either turn it under or let earthworms do it for you. Note that ‘quality’ soil is the key. Don’t use ‘black earth’ (basically peat-muck) or cheap manures which are often not manure at all. Producers have been known to cut corners in production to keep costs low. The results are never good. Quality soil and compost is alive with nutrients, is safe (teaming with beneficial bacteria) and is high octane fuel for everything that grows. Look for composted manure that is certified by the Composting Quality Alliance. I spread four centimetres of well-composted manure over my entire garden each spring. Yes, I use over 40 yards of the stuff. I also use worm castings whenever I plant: one part to 10 parts soil. Earthworm castings are nitrogen rich and teaming with a concentration of nutrients and mycorrhiza. I can see the difference in plant performance when I use worm castings. And finally, after you have returned your garden furniture to its summertime place, be sure to sit on it. Enjoy the bird song (put out feeders and nesting boxes), the wind and the sunshine. It may not have been the longest, coldest winter on record but you have none the less earned a break from the indoors. Mark Cullen is an expert gardener, author and broadcaster.
