Santa’s Annual Arrival
Historic hockey mobile display to pay visit Travelling exhibit celebrates Hockey Canada’s 100 years
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
A century’s worth of Hockey Canada history will roll into Napanee Dec. 19-21, setting up shop outside the Strathcona Paper Centre. Based out of a 64-foot tractor trailer, the rolling display’s visit to Napanee is part of a year-long crossCanada Century Tour in honour of Hockey Canada’s 100th birthday. The organization was officially established on Dec. 4, 1914. “It’s essentially a miniature Hockey Hall of Fame on wheels,” said Charlotte Coulson, communications lead for the tour. “It’s all very interactive, there’s something for everyone whether you’re an existing hockey fan or new to the game.” Coulson says it’s set up much like a museum with interactive displays. “On one wall we have a full historic timeline over the last 100 years of Hockey Canada,” said Coulson. “It features our history by decade and features Hockey Canada sweaters and other paraphernalia.” Included in the display are videos that highlight everything from the development of road hockey to the emergence of women’s hockey. Fans can also get creative and build their own hockey
cards featuring themselves, design a Team Canada jersey, speak their mind on the game in a ‘Speaker’s Corner’ type set-up or even superimpose themselves into some of Hockey Canada’s most memorable moments using green screen technology. Also featured in the display is a collection of trophies, such as the Allan Cup. “We even have an excerpt from the Team Canada locker room for Sochi, which is pretty interesting,” said Coulson. “It has our jerseys for the 2014 anniversary display.” As part of its visit, Hockey Canada will also recognize one local volunteer who has strived to make Napanee’s hockey community a better place with an award sponsored by Canadian Tire. The recipient is yet to be determined. The winner will be one of 100 volunteers across Canada who is recognized. The event is free of charge for all visitors and will be held in conjunction with the ‘Road to the Juniors’, which will see Finland and Czech Republic use the SPC as their training camp leading up to the IIHF World Junior Championship. The display will be open Dec. 19 from 3 to 7 p.m. and Dec. 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Local businesses benefit from CFDC investment BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
OCAL MP Daryl Kramp was in town on Friday to announce more than $125,000 being distributed to local businesses. These funds will create 14 new jobs and leverage more than $400,000 in additional investments in downtown Greater Napanee. He also announced a large investment and expansion in Bath at the MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company. The Prince Ed ward/Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation, as part of the Eastern Ontario Development Program, has provided the funds. “PELA is so happy to be able to support businesses, to see growth, to see people being employed, and to see people coming to our area and enjoying our lifestyle and what we have to offer,” said Craig Desjardins, PELA CFDC executive director. “This is really an incred-
L
ible success story. We’re so lucky to have a vibrant downtown, but that’s the result of hard work from the BIA and the Chamber of Commerce, so it really is a team effort,” Desjardins continued. MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company in Bath was provided with $55,000, which will allow the company to expand and triple its capacity and broaden its market. Meanwhile, seven downtown businesses and organizations in Greater Napanee have been provided with a total of $73,000. Starlet received the largest portion in Greater Napanee, with $21,730. These funds will support the creation of a new storefront throughout the renovation and adjoin the retail property. The Waterfront River Pub and Terrace received $14,915, which will help to support the planning costs that have been associated with the conversion of a waterfront property into a restaurant. The Town of Greater Napanee received $10,000

He said he is happy with how local business is growing and said grants such as these will keep progression on track. “I’ve been in business most of my life so I understand how challenging it can be. And, I understand how important small businesses are to our area, particularly small to medium sized communities like we have here,” Kramp commented. “With what I see I’m very, very pleased.

They do a magnificent job,” Kramp added.

New reeve lays out priorities for next term Clarence Kennedy underlines importance of strategic planning at council’s first meeting BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
For Stone Mills to move forward over the next four years, says the township’s new reeve, it is going to need a plan. Strategic planning was the main focus for Reeve Clarence Kennedy as he opened up the new municipal term with an address to council at its inaugural meeting on Monday night. “This position of leadership is one (that) I take very seriously, and I deem it a privilege to have the opportunity to serve the ratepayers of Stone Mills with commitment, dedication and honesty,” Kennedy told council The council features three new members — former councillor and reeve Deb Thompson, former councillor Martha Embury, and newcomer Wenda Lalande. Kennedy, who served as a councillor in the last term, takes over as reeve, while councillors John Wise and Doug Davison were re-elected. DeputyReeve Eric Smith, who served in that role in the last term, was acclaimed. “During my campaign and at the candidates meetings, I stressed the importance of strategic planning in any organization,” said Kennedy. “With an annual budget of approximately $10 million, and as a business organization, a strate-

EDITORIAL
Sugar coating is wearing off Based on what the Ontario auditor general said this week, it’s high time the Kathleen Wynne government got started on getting the province’s fiscal house in order. And, also based on what the AG said, that job is going to be much harder than most of us could have predicted. In her report, Bonnie Lysyk explained that even if the provincial government managed to eliminate its yearly deficit and create annual surpluses— which, in and of itself, would be no small or painless feat — our provincial debt (which currently sits at $267 billion) would continue to grow. “While annual deficits are projected to decline, the province will still be increasing its borrowings annually to finance these deficits, to replace maturing debt and to fund public infrastructure projects,” Lysyk was quoted in The National Post this week. “In fact, net debt and total debt are both expected to continue growing in absolute terms even after the province starts to run annual budget surpluses. This important fact should not go unnoticed by members of the legislature and the public.” So, to put it another way, even when we get to the point where we’re ‘living within our means’, we still won’t really be ‘living within our means.’ Depressing, no? During the recent provincial election, Wynne promised to get the province back in the black — though, she said, that process wouldn’t be quite so painful as if her Progressive Conservatives challengers, armed with their promise to get rid of 100,000 public sector workers, were to get into office. Obviously, enough Ontarians felt as though Wynne could pull it off, because she ended up with a majority government. Now is the time to abandon any belief that Ontario is going to be able emerge from its fiscal hole without some pain. It’s also time for the Wynne government to get serious about the situation it finds itself in. Needless to say, it’ll require a change in direction and a change in tone — neither of which we’re particularly hopeful we’ll see out of Wynne and Co. Municipal Affairs Minister Ted McMeekin said Lysyk was “blowing smoke” with her report, particularly as it related to the province’s costly Smart Meter program. The Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli, meanwhile, suggested that Lysyk didn’t understand the complexities of the program — and that Ontarians should believe him before believing Lysyk. If Lysyk’s got it wrong, then by all means, the Ontario government should provide us with compelling evidence as where she’s wrong. Sound bites and throwaway rebuttals don’t qualify. In the meantime, Ontarians shouldn’t have any illusions about the tough times ahead. Regardless of what the government might say, the status quo isn’t a realistic option.

Letter to the Editor
Premier needs to stop whining Are you not getting tired of listening to Kathleen Wynne whine about everything? ‘The Prime Minister will not see me’… ‘he will not give me money’ (so I can spend more)… ‘he does not support us’ (boo hoo)… ‘after all, are we not a have not province?’ (we need more money and I just love spending other people’s money). Enough is enough If I was the prime minister, I would not speak to Kathleen Whine – oops, I mean Wynne — either, not until she shows spending restraint, not until she shows she can budget wisely, not until she stops increasing Ontario’s debt (now standing at just under $300 billion). Just thinking about what it will be like four awful years from now, makes me shiver. I predict there is no possible chance the budget will be balanced three years from now. In my opinion, nothing that goes on at Queen’s Park is believable any more.
Liberal blunders that are costing us billions of dollars take place almost weekly; that’s money that could be used for important things. Perhaps the Liberals believe we are not too bright, and believe we have forgotten: 1) the E-Health debacle; 2) the ORNGE fiasco; 3) the Maers mess; 4) the gas plant closure disasters (for political gains — and to add insult to injury, the relocation of those plants that are still not needed); 5) the payouts to so many people who mishandled their portfolios; 6) the billion dollar school babysitting plan failure; 7) the secret deal made with the teachers’ union worth $486 million (just to buy the peace); 8) the recent million dollar screw up of payments to welfare recipients; 9) the already over-budget Pan Am Games; 10) the rising hydro costs; 11) the erased emails;

LETTER FROM PAGE 6 12) the junket to China while Ontario is falling apart; 13) the aviation fuel tax increase; 14) the debt that has doubled in 11 years; 15) the ratio of debt to GDP is currently at 37.4 per cent, which is the very worst in Ontario’s history, and may eventually exceed 40 per cent… and so on. I hope they enjoy what I believe to be their last four years that they will be in power! The Ring of Fire should be underway by now with incredible revenues — Ms. Wynne needs to show leadership there. She needs to stop derailing the oil pipeline and she needs to stop the plans to increase our taxes because she has continuously overspent and cannot meet her budgets. I don’t believe that she has considered one solution to this problem… to stop spending money that she does not have and to stop wasting our hard earned money! She says her money spending is prudent — in other words, practical, sensible, wise, careful, cautious. Really? Not long ago, the Liberals provided us with the Ontario Economic Outlook report (168 pages). I printed a copy and read every line. You should read it too, if you have the patience. First of all, this document could have been reduced to 50 pages at the most. Almost everything was repeated two, three or four times. There are so many new programs on the go nobody could ever even remember them all but, expense cutting has not being seen! In school terms I would give it an ‘F’. Our deficit will grow by $26.7 billion more under Ms. Wynne. A one per cent increase in borrowing interest rates will cost us millions of dollars with nothing to show for it. This is a deplorable state of affairs to say the least. The Liberals love to blame everybody but themselves for their troubles. First, the prime minister, and now the municipalities are being blamed for not receiving their storm money credits because they apparently can’t fill out the claim forms correctly. No money will be seen by the municipalities before 2016!? If it wasn’t such a disgraceful mismanagement of funds, it would be laughable. To Wynne and company, I say this – enough conversations and enough setting up costly advisory groups. You all wanted to govern, so why don’t you do it? Stop whining and get the job done. Do not tell us your problems — rather, tell us why you can’t balance your books or run the province efficiently. Do Liberal politicians not understand that they have thrown money around with abandon, and rather than try to change their ways, to be accountable for their actions, they hope that others will lay down a disgustingly large amount of cash and clean up the mess for them. To blame everybody else for their problems and for everything that goes wrong only shows the weakest kind of management. Since this is Christmastime, and the time for giving, I pledge a huge lump of coal for the Liberal government. I think I am being generous. Pierre Cliche, Greater Napanee

Novellas for everyone HAT exactly is a novella? Basically it is a book longer than a short story and shorter than a novel, the novella is defined as being 60-120 pages, or 20,000 to 40,000 words in length. In my opinions, novellas are wildly underrated and perfect for days when you feel like polishing off a book but don’t necessarily have the time. Ian McEwan, who had written some pretty great novellas himself, once said, “I believe the novella is the perfect form of prose fiction. It is the beautiful daughter of a rambling, bloated ill-shaven giant (but a giant who’s a genius on his best days).” Lucky for readers, there is a novella for almost every taste. Here are a few to consider: If you like weird and whimsical novels, try The Tiny Wife by Andrew Kaufman. This is a very strange, very tiny book that I was able to whip through it in a half-hour. A robber charges into a Toronto bank with a loaded gun, but instead of taking any money he steals an item of sentimental value from each person. Once he has made his escape, strange things start to hap-
W
pen to each of the victims. The narrator’s wife, one of these victims, begins to shrinks in size until she virtually disappears. If you like charming, funny reads, I suggest The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. It follows Queen
Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes Elizabeth II as she drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. As surprising to herself as to those who know her, the queen develops into a dedicated, avid reader of serious literature, and the court and her government are sent reeling by this new royal practice. If you like dark and gritty Can-Lit, try The Green Hotel by Jesse Gilmour, a brand new debut from the son of CanLit mainstay David Gilmour. It is the story of Hayden, addict and arsonist, and his mentally-ill father on their final evening together — a narcotic, 24-hour journey through their dark familial
history across the seedy underbelly of Toronto. I found the author’s unique turn of a phrase and directness made for a very honest (albeit very gritty) read. If you like memoir, try The Secret of the Blue Trunk by Lise Dion. This relatively unknown gem was suggested to me by Patricia, our library’s programmer. It is the story of a Canadian nun who, after spending four years working as a slave labourer for the Nazis, never told anyone about her experiences until revealing all in journals discovered only after her death. Her daughter wrote this memoir for her as a tribute. Finally, if you are looking for a book to put you in the holiday spirit, try A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Scrooge, Tiny Tim, the ghosts of Christmas – you likely do not need me to provide a synopsis for this one! All of these titles are available to reserve at L&A Libraries, both in branch as well as online at www.countylibrary.ca. Catherine Coles is the manager of library services for L&A County.

Despite interruptions, the hike must go on s an employee of the Ministry of Natural Resources between 1984 and 1991 at Sandbanks Provincial Park, it was always impressed on us, as park interpreters, that we must represent the MNR in a professional manner. We were in the public eye, and we should always take our job seriously and responsibly. There was always room for humour though and we soon learned that we could have a good time while still doing our job. After all, campers were human beings and they enjoyed a good laugh as much as anyone else. One of the most delightful employees I think the park ever had was the late Ron Killens. Ron would often wander in from the maintenance yard where he worked and share a few park stories with me at the Visitor Centre. He had a way of telling stories that would have tears trickling down my cheeks. Ron’s main job seemed to be in accompanying the regular garbage runs in the park. Stopping at the many parking lots, he would remove the full bags of garbage from the receptacles and return an empty bag to the container. Then, off they’d go to the next parking lot and, ultimately, to the campground to empty the central depots. Ron always proudly referred to himself as the park “garbologist”, and he took his job seriously. A clean park meant a
A
happy park. Remembering what I was taught, I gathered the dozen or so campers around me at the entrance to the Cedar Sands Trail as I prepared to take them on an interpretive hike. I was dressed impeccably in my Ministry uniform, complete with Ministry issued tie and had the enthusiastic group in the recommended semi-circle in front of me. As taught, I had them facing a direction that would not have them looking directly into the bright sun. I had remembered everything. As I began my introduction to the trail, its history, and the expected length of our hike, out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of the garbage truck slowly making its way down the road. Riding the back bumper was Ron Killens, dressed appropriately in brown Ministry overalls. As the truck passed by us, Ron was now hanging on with just one hand and leaning backwards off the back of the truck. Waving his free hand systematically back and forth in the air, he is hollering, “POPcorn! PEA-nuts, ICEcream!…” Ron and I shared many stories during the time we were employed there. In a park that draws thousands of visitors and campers every summer, there are going to be stories. Some of these stories will be contained in a book I am writing this winter,
Terry Sprague
Outdoor Rambles called Naked in the Sand. One story I shared with Ron involved another hike I had done along the Cedar Sands Trail. Earlier the previous day, I had previewed the hike and identified a number of stops along the trail’s route where I would gather participants around and talk about a particular plant or tree that I knew would be there when I led the hike. These planned stops were carved in stone and separated by enough distance to provide a break in the hike itself. Any other interpretive moment like a passing garter snake, butterfly or the appearance of a bird were unexpected bonuses and I was prepared to seize the opportunity each time. I was at one planned stop and had gathered everyone around. As I discussed one of the plants
growing there, no doubt starry false Solomon’s Seal since it grew everywhere in the park, I couldn’t help but notice a few smiles and snickers and a few eyes rolling in my direction. I had thrown in no humour so I was mystified why this group was suddenly so easily amused. Guessing that they had spotted something behind me far removed from the subject at hand, I was mortified when I turned around to find a pair of men’s under briefs dangling from the branch of a poplar directly behind me, less than an arm’s length from where I was standing. One 13-year-old boy who had been on past hikes with me during his stay at the park, smirked, “Can you interpret that, Mr. Sprague!” Most hikes though went as planned without any spontaneous interpretive moments. Not even on the one when I got everyone hopelessly lost. Although I had spent my youth at Sandbanks, I had not done much exploring in the sand dunes themselves. It was a cloudy, windless day when I took my group on an unplanned route through the dunes. Keeping our eyes to the ground, we scanned the surface of the sand for signs of antlion pits or the telltale pencil-shaped holes of wolf spiders. Finding none, I looked up only to discover I had become
totally disoriented. With no sun, or the sound of waves to provide some direction back to the parking lot, I led the group around some more, pretending to be continuing my search for sand dwellers, while keeping one eye out for any familiar landmarks. I never let on that I was lost, but I think a few may have wondered as I led them on a circuitous route, snaking our way in crazy zig-zag patterns. Eventually, we stumbled out onto the beach, and from there, made our way back to the parking lot. The great frontiersman, Daniel Boone, once claimed he had never been lost in his life, but had been “confused for several days”. It was at Sandbanks where I acquired a fondness for leading interpretive hikes. Eventually it led into a career and an outdoor program with Quinte Conservation, and through my own business NatureStuff Tours, that spanned 19 years as we wandered trails from Cobourg to Kingston, involving over 26,000 participants. I’m going to miss leading those hikes when I retire later this month. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613848-4549.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago December 9, 1964 n The Ontario Fire Marshall was investigating a blaze that caused a furniture factory in Deseronto to burn to the ground. Deseronto Fire Chief A.F. Fraser said he believed that the fire at Baywood Manufacturing Co. probably burned unnoticed for an hour or two before the alarm was sounded. He estimated machinery in the factory was worth about $15,000, while the building itself was worth $20,000. Firefighters from Deseronto and Napanee were called in to help battle the fire. n When the votes were counted in the municipal election, former Napanee Mayor Lorne Smart learned he would no longer be the ‘former’ mayor. Smart toppled incumbent Glenn Herrington to lead Napanee council for the upcoming two-year term. In other Napanee council races, Claude H. Knight was re-elected as reeve, while Henry D. Wightman was re-elected as deputy-reeve in Napanee. In Richmond Township, Manley Hart defeated Albert Milligan by 23 votes in the race for reeve. In North Fredericksburgh, Alvin Fitchett beat Glynn Chambers by 41 votes in the reeve contest.
35 Years Ago December 12, 1979 n The Community Telephone Company was facing a barrage of protest over a proposed rate hike for the upcoming year. The CTC provided telephone service in most of rural Lennox and Addington County, Frontenac County and a handful of other locations around the province. Local MPP Earl McEwen presented a petition at the legislature protesting the hike. “The people have now spoken with once voice, and I believe it is time for their voice to be heard. Their demands are not unreasonable and must be met,” McEwen said in a letter to the Ontario Telephone Service Commission. n It appeared as though the OTSC was listening, too. The OTSC announced that it would block the proposed rate increase for the upcoming month. However, it said it would continue to assess the CTC’s proposed increase as it related to the long term. As a result, L&A County would get at least a month’s reprieve from an increase in rates. The OTSC said that, for the CTC to be able to raise rates, it would have to provide evidence that the increase was necessary.

The Message in a Bottle project, the newest initiative of the Napanee Lions Club, got a boost from Mayor Gordon Schermerhorn and his newly-elected council last week. Shown with Schermerhorn (front left) and council is Lion Harvey Gere, chairman of the project, who presented a vial to the mayor alongside Lion President Eileen Huard. The council members (back, from left) Michael Schenk, Carol Harvey, Roger Cole, Max Kaiser, Deputy-Mayor Marg Isbester and Shaune Lucas, received a vial as well. Message in a Bottle is a life-saving method where a person’s medical information can be stored in the refrigerator so that it will be available for first responders in the event of a medical emergency. Senior citizens and people living alone are urged to pick up their bottles at any pharmacy in Napanee, free of charge.
Local woman’s fundraising drive to support rare scoliosis surgery BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Local residents have created a ‘Make a Difference’ campaign in order to help pay for a disc replacement surgery in France in the New Year. Corinna Welsh said she had always dreamt of winning the lottery and starting a charity that could help improve other people’s lives. However, now one of her relatives needs a double disc replacement due to chronic scoliosis – a surgery not yet available in Canada. In light of that need, she has decided to start the campaign. “I said to my husband, ‘We don’t have to win the lottery, we can make a difference.’ So now we’ve decided to start making a difference,” said Welsh. “This year, all the money raised through our efforts is going toward my (relative’s) surgery and medical needs. Next year, (that person) gets to choose the recipient. So we’re going to continue this,” Welsh continued. Welsh’s relative has asked to remain anonymous. The family member is set for a double-disc replacement in France in February. The sur-
gery and medical costs are estimated to cost at least $80,000. Another surgery will be needed after recovery, which will cost even more. The family member was diagnosed with chronic, progressive scoliosis at the age of 13 and received an emergency surgery in order to save her life. “She was diagnosed when she was 13 with scoliosis and she then got two titanium rods, the first one in Canada to get titanium rods, and she also has a bunch of screws in her back,” said Welsh. “At the point of her surgery, she had two 60-degree curves, so her spine on the x-ray looked like a beautiful ‘S,’ that’s what her spine looked like,” Welsh explained. Since the surgery, her back has regressed to two 30-degree curves. On top of that, some of her healthy vertebras are now being strained. “It’s gotten very strong and it’s put stress on her neck – all of the healthy vertebras. What’s happened is she has two bulging, herniated discs in her neck. The pain involved is more than you and I could ever imagine,” Welsh explained. “Canada’s not there yet and it’s
unfortunate… Doctors, they would say, ‘What you need is disc replacement, but Canada’s not there yet.’ But then we ended up having a contact in Europe so she got in touch with a doctor there,” said Welsh. A number of ‘Make a Difference’ fundraisers have already raised over $20,000. Recently, Welsh started selling hand-decorated gift boxes for Christmas for $10 each and in her first day she raised over $1,000. In the New Year, Welsh and her family are organizing a cross-Canada bottle drive on the second Saturday of 2015 (Jan. 10). “We’ll see how much we have raised. And everybody can do that. In Napanee, we’re telling everybody to bring their bottles and just leave them on our porch,” said Welsh. Her address is 124 Robinson St. and can be reached at 613-354-5612. The following weekend Welsh’s sister, who is a medium in Alberta, will be hosting two events at Welsh’s home. Tickets are $50 each and the event will run from 7-10 p.m. on Jan. 17 and 1-4 p.m. on Jan. 18. For more information, contact Welsh.
New artists organization forming in Napanee BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Local artists have come together to create an arts association which is gearing up to offer workshops to members and non-members in the New Year. The Greater Napanee
and Area Arts Association was officially formed last month. ‘Paint-ins’ and workshops are set to start in January. Each Friday morning starting in the New Year, GNAAA members will be invited to enjoy paint-ins at L&A Seniors Outreach Services.
“People can just come and paint. Paint, use watercolours, or work in any medium of art,” said GNAAA founding member, Elaine Taranu. “When the weather is better, we’re going to have ‘paint-outs’. That means the artists take their equipment and organize
places artists can meet outside, in the natural setting,” she said. In February, the GNAAA is offering a workshop to all members of the community, and to GNAAA members at a discounted price.

Stone Mills Township
Council petitioned to pass new bylaw for dogs Local resident gathering support to bring in regulation prohibiting 24/7 tethering of canines BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Stone Mills council is taking a suggestion to outlaw round-the-clock outdoor tethering of dogs under advisement. At its first regular meeting of the new term on Mon-
day night, Stone Mills council received for information a presentation by township resident Brittany Lockwood, who urged council to prohibit the tethering of dogs outside for more than four hours, or keeping dogs outside in harsh weather conditions. Under Lockwood’s proposed bylaw,

hunting dogs and other working dogs would be exempt from the measure. “This is your backyard dog (the bylaw is intended to help) — the pet that you got from the pet store or your breeder, that is being left outside 24/7. They are not trained, necessarily, for being chained up 24/7. They are the dogs that are supposed to be inside,” she told council. “Right now in our township, I’m seeing this all over the place,” Lockwood said. “I am seeing dogs being left out all night, all day, in the cold and all weather. Right now, we don’t have a bylaw to protect this.” She said the practice of keeping dogs perpetually chained outside is particularly noticeable in the township’s hamlets. “There is a handful that are left out, howling. They are upsetting not only myself but they’re upsetting other neighbours and residents in the area, and they all want to see a change,” she said. She noted that she has an online petition — which currently has more than 670
signatures — along with a ‘paper’ petition with more than 60 signatures from Newburgh and Odessa in Loyalist Township. Councillor John Wise asked whether there was legislation on the books already that already provided some protection for dogs. Lockwood advised him that as long as the animal is being given food, water and some form of shelter, minimum care standards are being met under current laws. “But, what’s happening with these dogs is that they are being neglected, so they go without proper water. Right now, I know of a handful of dogs in my neighbourhood who are sitting there with frozen water dishes. That water hasn’t been refilled,” she said. “(The bylaw would provide) animal service officers the tools that they need to do their jobs properly to protect these animals,” Lockwood continued. “Right now, if the dog has a form of shelter, water and food, it’s OK. It doesn’t matter if they’re outside in a storm, if it’s 20C out and that dog has

Tim Nimigan will be leading a ‘Crank Up Your Colour’ workshop, aimed to help artists determine foreground and background colours more easily. “It’s really to help artists achieve the kind of colouring intensity that they would like to have in their paintings and helping them choose the right colours,” said Taranu. “One of the things that is always difficult for an artist is deciding what the background is going to be like and achieving the proper background for the subject of the painting. I think that’s going to be a very useful workshop for a lot of people. It’s something that you sort of learn by trial and error, so having someone like Tim coming and helping artists who want to hone up their skills in terms of colours — whether it’s foregrounds or backgrounds — this is going to be very useful for artists,” Taranu continued. That workshop is scheduled for Feb. 27, from 9 a.m. until noon. Taranu said the GNAAA plans to host three or four public workshops a year, on top of the weekly paintins offered to members. On top of that, guest speakers will give informative sessions at each of the GNAAA monthly meetings. Taranu said these topics would include legal issues, how to shop for your art, copyright issues, and different artistic styles. For more information on these events, or to join the GNAAA as a member, contact Taranu at elainetaranu@gmail.com. Memberships are $40 for an individual member, $50 for a family, $15.00 for a student member and $15 for an individual supporting member.

“Just because they did not take action at this time doesn’t mean that this issue will go away,” she said. “We will continue to move forward in gaining signatures for the petition online and in person and bring awareness to our community about this issue,” she continued. “We have formed a strong group of residents and animal services Representatives which continues to grow, who all share the same goal (to get a bylaw which protects our dogs and makes our community safer as a result)… We will continue to speak with residents in the community and get their input on this to share with the council. So far, the majority of everyone we have spoken to is in favor of this by-law. It’s just the council members we need to convince.” Lockwood also said she and other supporters of the bylaw plan to enlist the backing of other residents and businesses for other aspects of the campaign, from collecting signatures for the petition to fundraising.

frostbite or getting close to getting frostbite, that officer really has to keep going back and documenting it.” She said that Mississauga recently passed “the exact same bylaw”, and several other jurisdictions across Canada have instituted various regulations governing the tethering of dogs. By passing the bylaw, she argued, “it also enhances our reputation, that Stone Mills would be the first township in Ontario to have a proper bylaw to protect their dogs. It sets a precedent for the other townships around to join in this animal-friendly environment.” Later, she said, “it’s people want. It creates a more well-balanced and happier dog. It creates safer neighbourhoods — you don’t have to worry about dogs getting off the leash and running into cars or running out and attacking other animals and people.” After the meeting, Lockwood said she was disappointed that council didn’t take action on the presentation, but added that her efforts won’t stop there.

More than 20 businesses participating in Dec. 19 event
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA
more than 20 downtown businesses will be thanking their customers and the community by holding raffles, giving out prizes and offering discounted prices. Non-perishable food items will be collected by all participating businesses and will be donated locally. “There will be well over 20 stores participating again this year and all of the business will be collecting food donations. Then it’s up to the businesses to decide which charity it will go to within the community. Some of the organizations that the food donations typically go to are Morningstar Mission, Salvation Army, Interval House and the local OSPCA. It’s a great way to feed the community,” explained Cat Monster, coowner of Starlet and one of the organizers of the downtown shopping party. “Starlet collected at least a full truckload of food just from our business alone, so you can only imagine what the whole

downtown does together for the community. And it’s nice because it ends up with an even distribution for all the organizations,” said Monster. “It goes full circle, which is really nice. It’s a fun night out where you can run into neighbours and just have a fun time where we all get to give back — the businesses and the community members,” she added. This will be the third year the annual shopping party will be lit by downtown’s Big Bright Lights, making the event that much more fun and put everyone in the Christmas spirit. “It’s the last Friday before Christmas, which is really fun because the kids are done school so a lot of the kids are home from college or university so it’s something to do. A lot of people, I find, come in with family members visiting from out of town,” said Monster. The event will include
carolers, wagon rides, visits with Santa and reindeer, among other activities. “There will be reindeer, which is always a big hit for the kids and the young at heart,” Monster added. Serendipity Studios will be providing pictures with Santa Claus again this year for a small cost: a non-perishable food donation. Most downtown businesses are advertising in their stores, websites and social media sites all the discounts and prizes they will be offering during the shopping party. Information can also be found on the Seventh Annual Downtown Shopping Party 2014 Facebook page. “It’s always a fabulous turnout. The businesses that are participating will have their lights on. … Most businesses are doing treats, draws, discounts, prizes or music,” explained Monster. The shopping party will take place downtown Napanee on Dec. 19 from 69 p.m.

A Napanee man was arrested in connection with an armed robbery that took place on Centre Street last Wednesday night. At around 9:15 p.m., officers with the Napanee OPP responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Stop and Shop/Video 99 located on Centre Street North.
According to police, a lone male brandishing a weapon entered the business and walked directly to the counter demanding money. The male fled on foot and was seen walking south after leaving the store. The next day at 11 a.m., a Frontenac OPP officer on patrol noticed a male person hitchhiking on Sydenham Road that matched the description of the suspect involved in the robbery the night before. The male was subse-
quently arrested and turned over to detectives with the Napanee OPP Crime Unit. Charged with robbery with a weapon is 22-year-old Keith Hollett of Napanee. He is scheduled to appear in Napanee provincial court today for a bail hearing. If anyone has any further information in relation to this incident they are asked to contact the Napanee OPP Detachment or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or anonymously online at tipsubmit.com.

More than 130 nativity scenes from over 20 different countries will be on display this weekend at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Napanee. Each set has been donated and many come with a unique story as to how it ended up at the church. Some are made from creative materials, while others have been passed down from generation to generation. “One of the sets is made from colourful magazine pieces and it’s from Vietnam. It’s exquisite the way they’ve taken magazine colours and made a whole set and then finished them,” said Frank Morrison, who is helping to promote the
event on behalf of the church on Crouse Street. “There’s one from an elderly lady who, during the Second World War, when her husband was overseas, they didn’t have any Christmas decorations so she made a nativity set herself. That was their only Christmas decoration,” he added. This is the fourth year the event has taken place and each year more nativity scenes are donated. “It’s really, really gorgeous. It started out with just a handful of sets that they had collected from members and from people around here,” he said. “Another one is from Kenya and it’s made from banana peelings, it’s exquisite.” It is expected that between 130 and 150 nativity scenes will be set up this year. All lights will be off and only the glow of the
nativity scenes will light the room. “There are close to 1,000 little figures. Each scene is set up individually. All the lights are off in the room and all they use are tiny little Christmas tree lights. They’re all set up on tables with white tablecloths, so they really stand out. And some of them are as big as full-sized dolls,” said Morrison. “It’s quite beautiful to see.” Anyone with nativity sets they no longer use is welcome to bring them next weekend to donate it for next year’s display, “especially if it’s unusual,” added Morrison. The event will start Friday at 4 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. and will open again Saturday at 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Donations to the food bank will be accepted at the door.

Historic Yule event planned at L&A museum BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Next week’s Tuesday Night at the Museum will be a festive one as the Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives courtyard will be aglow with the Courtyard Lights and Christmas Trees event. Drawing inspiration from when the museum’s grounds were an armoury for soldiers of the 80th Battalion in December of 1915, next Tuesday's event will feature live music, several Christmas trees, live reindeer and seasonal food. Steve Tanner and Steve Medd will sing holiday folk songs while Father Christmas will be on hand with his Napanee sleigh to welcome guests. Local chef Pat Forster will prepare the food. The theme ties in with the museum’s First World War display as it will resemble the celebration that took place on the grounds nearly 100 years ago. “It was a public gathering where a tree was unveiled and the program would include entertainment and a song and could include Santa Claus, magic shows and different
things,” L&A County Museum and Archives manager Jane Foster said of the 1915 event, which will be somewhat similar to next week’s event. "It was the Red Cross society that provided the socks and the ladies filled them for the soldiers and Santa Claus did arrive to distribute the presents. The idea (for next Tuesday’s celebration) came from that event.” Several decorated Christmas trees will be spread throughout the museum and guests are encouraged to vote for their favourite, with the people’s choice being crowed. There is no charge for the event and it’s geared towards the whole family. It runs from 5 to 8 p.m. While enjoying the festive events in the courtyard guests are encouraged to explore the museum's WWI display which takes a look at life on the home front during the Great War. The Christmas tree event is part of the successful Tuesday Night at the Museum, which typically features a guest speaker delivering a lecture on a variety of topics relating to L&A. They take place every third Tuesday of the month.

NDSS’ ‘Spider’ makes U17 National team Dickerson to play in 2015 Int’n Bowl in Texas BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
apanee’s Hunter ‘Spider’ Dickerson will have the chance to represent Football Canada in Arlington, Texas next month as he suits up for the 2015 International Bowl. Dickerson received the call he’d been hoping for Monday night after impressing Canada’s coaches during a gruelling 10 hour try-out session with 180 hopefuls. Only 40 made the final cut. Dickerson admitted to being a little nervous waiting for the call, which seemed like an eternity. This will be the second time Dickerson will head south for an international tournament, having played on the gold medal winning Canada East team last year at the ESPN Pop Warner Super Bowl, held in Florida. Canada had entered that tournament as huge underdogs, but managed to more than hang though with the American clubs. This time around however they won’t have the element of surprise. “The experience with all the coaches and players out there,” Dickerson, who plays on the defensive line, said of his most memorable part of the trip. “(The coaches taught) better techniques and better game plans.” This time around it will be a completely unique
N
experience as he steps up an age level. This year’s event will include four games between U.S. National Teams and teams assembled by Football Canada, comprised of more than 500 of the top North American high school athletes. Dickerson says the international experience has translated to great success in his high school career. He just recently wrapped up his Grade 10 season with the NDSS Golden Hawks, helping them to their best finish in a decade where they reached the KASSAA semifinals. He was a prominent member of their defensive line this fall. When it comes to representing Canada however, he’ll have little time to build chemistry with his teammates. That’s a challenge he welcomes. “It’s pretty cool meeting new friends,” said Dickerson, noting he won’t meet many of his teammates until he practices with them in Arlington. He’ll have about a week of training and work outs with his team before he takes on some of the U.S. best U17 teams in Bowl games Jan. 30-31. Adding to the excitement for Dickerson, who is a big NFL fan, is the fact that the games will be held at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. Dickerson says he’s hoping to continue to build his high school football career with the Golden Hawks and hopes to be recruited by a university team en route to a pro career in either the CFL or NFL.
Rebels leapfrog Raiders into second Napanee hosts Picton Sunday for annual teddy bear toss game
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Jeremiah Doherty was a Rebel with a cause on Saturday, leading Campbellford to a 4-3 win over the visiting Napanee Raiders to move his team into second place in the Empire B League. Doherty scored all four of Campbellford’s goals on the night, netting two in the first and two in the second. Napanee’s Zack Revelle got his team on the board early in the second, scoring at the 3:36 mark to cut Campbellford's lead to 2-1. That was as close as Napanee would get however as they trailed 4-1 heading into the final frame. Revelle added a power-play goal in the final minutes, proceeded by an earlier goal from Jordan Cannons. Those goals did little more than make the final minutes more interesting as Campbellford goalie Cole Mahoney held on for the win. He turned away 25 Raider shots on the night, including 11 of 13 in the third. Napanee started Cameron Parr who allowed four goals on 21 shots before giving way to Tomo Mikuljan in the final period. Second place was up for grabs in this game as both teams entered with 27 points on the year. With the win the Rebels are now alone in second with a 149-1 record. Napanee falls to 13-10-1 on the year. Meanwhile the Amherstview Jets are creeping up behind the Raiders, trailing them by just one point

Despite a third period goal from Jordan Cannons, the Napanee Raiders lost an important game in Campbellford on Saturday. at the moment. Should they win their match up against the Pirates in Picton tonight, they could leapfrog the idle Raiders and move into third place. “Every game’s important with only one division,” Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick said of the logjam forming in the standings. “It’s a tight again this year, it’s exciting.” Napanee won’t return to the ice until this Sunday, when they host the Pirates for a 2:30 p.m. matinee at the Strathcona Paper Centre. “We still got a couple of guys that are banged up, so
it gives them time to heal as well,” Hartwick said of the week long layoff between games. Fans are encouraged to bring a new stuffed toy to the game and then toss it on the ice when the Raiders score their first goal. The toys will be donated to local kids this holiday season. The Raiders return to their more familiar Tuesday night schedule next week, welcoming the Jets for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop on Dec. 16. For his two goal performance, Revelle is the Lennox and Addington Milk Producers Raider of
the Week. Meanwhile the Deseronto Storm saw their scoring touch return this weekend, but still dropped both of their games. At home on Friday they scored four times in a 6-4 loss to the Picton Pirates and then found the back of the net three times in a 9-3 road loss in Amherstview. They did give the Pirates a bit of a run on Friday as Jeff Hoey, who was acquired from Picton last month, scored the game’s first goal. Brett Maracle and Devin MacLean each scored in the second to give the Storm 2-1 and 3-2 leads at the time. The Pirates scored the next three goals, offset by one from Mitchell Thompson early in the third. The Pirates added an insurance marker two minutes later and preserved the 6-4 win. Aaron Young, making his second start of the season, stopped 57 of 63 shots. On Saturday the Jets roared to a 6-0 lead in the opening 20 minutes, chasing Alex Crouter from the game. Young started the second and settled things down just a tad, allowing three more goals in the second and nothing in the third. Tyson O’Toole, Jordon Guindon and Brodie Maracle scored for the Storm in the losing effort. Now 1-23 on the year, the Storm are still searching for their first win since Oct. 7. They’ll welcome first place Port Hope tomorrow night for a 7:30 p.m. start time and then hit the road Saturday to face Campbellford.

Finland and the Czech Republic’s World Junior teams will practice in Napanee from Dec. 18-23 and meet for a pre-competition game on Dec. 19 skate from 10 to 11 a.m. on the Goodyear rink. During the training session fans will have a chance to watch those country’s elite prospects run through drills as they
get game ready for the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship. For young hockey players it could prove to be a great learning session to see how top players get game ready before a
big tournament. All practices are open to the public and free of charge, though food donations for the local food bank are encouraged. In the midsts of their practice sessions the two teams will meet for an exhibition game on Friday Dec. 19, 7 p.m. at the SPC. Access to that game will require a $20 ticket, available now online at www.GreaterNapanee.com. Anyone considering tickets shouldn’t hesitate, as the organizers say the event is nearly sold out. Rosters for both teams are yet to be announced, but last year’s Finnish club included current Buffalo Sabre and eight overall pick Rasmus Ristolainen,
as well as Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Henri Ikonen and Nashville Predator prospect Mikko Vainonen. Many players who have laced up for previous tournament have gone on to play in the NHL from all countries. The tournament is a great opportunity for fans to get a look at the next crop of NHL super stars playing in a high level competition. Napanee is one of eight centres across Ontario and Quebec that will be hosting an RBC Road to the World Juniors pre-competition game. The tournament begins Dec. 26 and will be held at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre and Montreal’s Bell Centre.

Atom Crunch are gold medal heroes in Whitby Beaver Sports
The Atom Crunch attended Whitby Tournament of Heros coming out with a Gold Medal. Round robin play found the girls with two wins and a loss placing them second. Facing Durham West in semifinal play the girls were determined to win from the beginning with a 5-1 final, scoring for the Crunch were Saige Pearson (two), Lila Pringle, Kristen Sutton and Nikki Weese. Assists were earned by Pearson, Pringle, Hailey Thompson, Myla Pearson and Adrianna Maclean. Facing St Mary Rock in the final they knew it was going to be a battle to the end with two very evenly matched teams. With the puck travelling back and forth on the ice and Makenna Marlow solid between the pipes it was a scoreless game until the second period when Kristen Sutton took a shot that was deflected off an opposing stick into the net. Earning assists were Weese and Abby Kish. Gaining the slim lead was all the Crunch would need to do playing strong defensive hockey by Jaidyn Manion, Maeve Kennedy, Gracie Hughes, MacKenzie Tyner and the remainder of the team the game ended in a
1-0 win. n This past weekend the Bantam Crunch played Toronto Leaside Wildcats on home ice, collecting another two points. The girls came out strong with goals going to Adele Frink, Katie Hearns, Karley Wood-Murphy and a phantom goal to Carley Reid. n Kicking the month of December off the Peewee Crunch made their way to Lindsay to face the Lynx. Into the first period Lauren Sutton blasted one into the net with assist from Rebecca Hannah. Early into the second Sutton again found the back of the net with help from Laura Hagerman. The Lynx came back late in the second to make the game 2-1 but could not keep up with the Crunch nor get another one past tender Maddy Burgess. Like icing on the cake Rebecca Hannah took a pass from Emma Granger to finish the game with a 31 final. Fantastic coaching on the bench from Mackenzie Vermilyea. n The Firelight Major Bantam Stars continued their move up the standings winning all three of their games last weekend. In Cobourg, they thumped the Cougars 8-1. Michael Lloyd had a whopping five goals, while Kyle Benton, Brendan Hagerman, and Nelson
Powers had singles. Ryan McLay had three assists, and Kyle Weese, Steven Shea, Adam Doyle, and Cam McEwen had singles. Finn Pierce had a solid 17 save performance. On Saturday, they slipped by Whitby White 21 on the strength of a rebound goal by Shea, and a wraparound by Powers. Hagerman chipped in two assists, and Powers had one. Sunday, they gained a 32 come-from-behind victory over Clarington. Powers. Hagerman and McLay all scored. Shea tallied two assists, while Doyle, Powers, and Hagerman had singles. n The Country Traditions Novice As had two home games last weekend. On Saturday they faced Lindsay in a 4-2 loss. Duncan Clarke scored first with an assist going to Benjamin Buxton, and Zered Haller had the other goal. On Sunday the team faced Port Perry. The boys played an outstanding game. Starting the third, they were down 3-0, but they fought back against a top team in their division to score two shorthanded goals to gain a 4-4 tie. Caleb South scored first for the Stars with an assist going to Haller. Haller scored twice, and with four seconds left in the game
scored his third giving him the hat trick and tying the game. Assists went to Jayden Holden (two), Seth Rivers, and Ethan Boutilier played a great game adding two assists as well. Aiden Vallier played a great game in net. n The Napanee Minor Bantam Stars were roughed up for a pair of losses this weekend. The Ajax Knights stifled Napanee at the SPC on Saturday night, bottling up the home side 4-1. Adam Burger scored the Stars’ only goal. Murray Craig was saddled with the loss in net. Napanee’s offense was more effective on Sunday in Oshawa against the Generals, but not quite effective enough in a 5-4 loss. Burger had two goals and an assist, while Nate Brant and Cal DuChene each chipped in with a goal. Cole East and Craig shared goalie duties. n On Saturday the Major Atoms were in Kingston to host Quinte West at the KROCK Centre in a league game sponsored by the Kingston Frontenacs and Tim Hortons. Despite late pressure in the third, the Stars fell 3-2. The starting goaltenders kept it scoreless until late in the first when the Hawks took the lead. It wasn’t until the three

SYLVIA GORDON December 15, 2013, one year ago today. The phone rang, it was 3:30 in the morn, The caller said the Miller house was on fire in Morven, I raced there very fast and saw emergency crews, I tried to run up, I asked if there was news, But all I saw was a no-shake of the head, In my mind I knew they all must be dead, Mother and two brothers and the old farm home, Now just memories, they were all gone. They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, so there won’t be any doubt, God took them Home, it was His will, Within our hearts they liveth still. Remembered by Garry and Angela, Gail, Grant and Lisa, Garold and Connie, Christine, Smith and Henderson-Todd and families

Ontario farm tire deflation technology ready to go global By Lilian Schaer (AgInnovation Ontario)
An automatic air inflation deflation system (AAID) developed by a southwestern Ontario hog farmer is ready to go global. Jake Kraayenbrink’s AgriBrink technology is ready for the market in Europe – several years after he first headed there himself in search of a solution to soil compaction problems on his farm near Moorefield, Ontario. Farmers need light, loose soil to plant crops, but the soil becomes hard – almost like cement – when heavy farm machinery passes over it. This means water can’t drain properly and plant roots are unable to get into the ground to get at the nuKraayenbrink was a recipient of the trients they need to grow. With AgriBrink, a control box in the tractor cab Premier's Award for Agri-Food Innovation allows the user to inflate and deflate the tires to Excellence in 2011 for his innovation. match the ideal tire pressure for the weight and speed of the equipment being used. Equipment tires can be deflated in about 30 seconds once a farmer drives into a field and re-inflated when entering a road, which is much faster than other systems on the market today. This increases the footprint of a heavy piece of farm equipment, like a manure tanker, by about 60 per cent and keeps it from sinking into the ground. Overall, deflating tires lowers fuel consumption, increases crop yields by easing soil compaction, and reduces tire wear. Farmers can get into their fields earlier if their equipment is able to float over the soil more instead of sinking into wet ground. Farm equipment is easier to pull in a field when tires are deflated; this saves about 15 per cent on fuel costs, according to Kraayenbrink.

5 Tips For Selling Your Home During The Holidays For many, the holiday season is a busy time that entails shopping, cooking and entertaining. Amidst the hustle of the holidays, it may seem difficult to find time for selling a home. Yet some home owners would prefer to list their home during one of the busiest times of year. “Sometimes professional, or personal, circumstances arise that require owners to sell their homes during the holidays,” says Costa Poulopoulos, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “But sometimes home owners are simply ready to sell and the idea that they might face less competition from other sellers is appealing. Whatever an owner’s reasons for selling their home before or during the holidays, if done properly, the process can be successful.” These are five tips to bear in mind if planning to list your home for sale close to, or during, the holiday season: 1. Deck the halls…to a minimum: Seasonal, rather than religious, decorations are the way to go. Also, try not to overdo it on the décor to avoid crowding your home and distracting buyers. 2. Don’t hide flaws: Rather than covering up flaws with holiday décor, take the time to fix them or keep them revealed to avoid future conflicts with your buyers. 3. Hire a Realtor: Enlist the services of a Realtor that you trust and who will be available for you during the holiday season. This will help alleviate some of the stress of selling and give you more time to enjoy the season. 4. Price to sell and be prepared to negotiate: No matter what time of year, a home that is properly priced will attract buyers. With less competition at this time of year, holiday buyers may offer less than what you are willing to sell for. Work with your Realtor to negotiate a price that is satisfactory. 5. Market your home: Take time to enhance your home’s curb appeal (even if it is covered in snow) and use good quality photography to show off your home (use photos taken in the spring/summer months if possible). If weather prevents prospective buyers from visiting your home, having a video tour available online is always a good idea. More information is available at www.wedothehomework.ca.

H O RO S C O P E S
ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, although you are full of excitement this week, rein in some of those feelings so you can focus on the tasks at hand. Use your energy to your advantage. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and build up to bigger plans. Eventually you will find a groove. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long. Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many responsibilities this week. If you don't, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Financial matters are looming and a decision must be made, Leo. Don't be overcome with anxiety, as all you need to do is carefully examine your finances to come up with a solution. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Spontaneity beckons, Virgo, even though you are a careful planner who puts a lot of thought into your decisions. Overthinking is more hassle than it's worth this week.

SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Back up your promises with decisive action, Scorpio. That's the only way to prove to others that your word means something and you are committed to honoring your commitments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) There may be more to the big picture than you are seeing, Sagittarius. Gather the facts before you jump to any conclusions. You may just see things from a different perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, you are riding high and looking to share your good fortune with others. Make the most of this chance to improve the lives of those around you. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, you have an idea about how to tackle a difficult obstacle, but someone crosses your path with a different agenda. Perhaps there's a way to work together. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, avoid open conflict without being a pushover this week. Find the middle ground and try to understand another's perspective.
