Limestone’s branch of the union will follow on the heels of boards such as Toronto, Durham and Waterloo, where held a one-day strike on Tuesday. “It has certainly kept the issue in the forefront of the media,” Limestone union local president Mike Lumb said of the rotating province-wide strikes. “That’s what

we’re trying to do is make people aware that this isn’t just about teachers. This is certainly not about pay. This is about people’s democratic rights. If a government thinks that they can close a legislature and put themselves above the courts of Ontario, put themselves above the Human Rights Commission and put themselves above the labour board, then what kind of democracy do we have here? This
really doesn’t just affect teachers, it affects everybody.” Lumb says the union has tried other avenues to voice its displeasure of Bill 115 by cutting back on extracurricular activities and other non-essential school activities. The only thing the government responds to, he says, is strike action.

Well testing results put WM on defensive MOE orders action after off-site ‘exceedances’ found; opponents call for BREC dismissal By Seth DuChene EDITOR The Ontario Ministry of the Environment is ordering Waste Management to take action after testing near WM’s Richmond Landfill revealed what appeared to be off-site impacts on groundwater. The testing results, regularly submitted by WM to the MOE, resulted in the ministry finding the company non-compliant with its site approval; the company is required to take remedial
steps to bring it back into compliance. The testing took place in October. Randy Harris, manager of the landfill site, said that while the company disputes the MOE’s conclusion that the landfill is having an off-site impact on groundwater, it will develop an action plan to address the MOE’s concerns regarding the testing results. “We’ve agreed to disagree and move on,” said Harris. “We want to get this issue behind us.” Harris indicated the plan will include the

drilling of additional testing wells in the affected area in the “groundwater flow zone,” where additional sampling and monitoring will take place. Harris said that a plan has been submitted to the MOE and the company is awaiting approval of that plan. Harris said the testing exceedances showed elevated levels of “non-healthbased parameters”, in iron, manganese, total dissolved solids and dissolved organic carbon. “It needs to be monitored and it needs to be tracked, but the sky is not falling,” he said. “It’s being very well monitored.” According to the MOE’s review of the testing results, “the landfill has impacted groundwater at, and beyond, the southern property boundary (at Beechwood Road). These
impacts exceed allowable limits… as such, the site is in non-compliance with Guideline B-7 and its Environmental Compliance Approval.”
‘We are alarmed by the ministry report and we call upon WM to quickly address this unacceptable situation.’
R. Donald Maracle, MBQ Chief
The MOE’s review prompted the Concerned Citizens Committee of Tyendinaga and Environs and other groups to reiterate their concerns regard-

ing monitoring of the nowclosed site and to renew their call for plans for the Beechwood Road Environmental Centre and a new landfill near the old Richmond Landfill to be dropped. “My client concurs with the MOE report, which finds that local groundwater is being impacted by the landfill,” said Richard Lindgren, a Canadian Environmental Law Association lawyer and representative for the CCCTE. “The ministry report also correctly identifies the difficulty in monitoring this complex, fractured bedrock location.” “For years, WM has denied that leachate contaminants were moving off-site, but the ministry report confirms that offsite movement is occurring in excess of applicable limits,” said Chief R. Donald Maracle of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. “Since groundwater and surface
water generally moves from the landfill towards the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, we are alarmed by the ministry report and we call upon WM to quickly address this unacceptable situation and to withdraw its proposal for the BREC.” The CCCTE and the MBQ are currently challenging WM’s closure plan for the old Richmond Landfill; an Environmental Review Tribunal is pending. Harris said that the company has no plans to take its BREC proposal off the table, and it is continuing to do work relating to the BREC’s environmental assessment. He also suggested that the BREC proposal can’t be compared to any issues related to the Richmond Landfill, portions of which are 50 years old and not lined. The proposed landfill related to BREC would feature a double liner underneath the landfill footprint, he said.

E D I TO R I A L
Reflecting on a tragedy IKE just about everyone, we’re trying to make sense of the events in Newtown, Conn., last Friday. And, like just about everyone else, we’re finding that to be an exceedingly difficult task. Indeed, we will probably never know what possessed Adam Lanza to pick up his mother’s assault rifle, take it to a school and kill 27 people, 20 of which were young children. It seems as though very few outside his family truly knew the young man; he made piecing together the mystery behind this atrocity that much harder when he destroyed his computer before the attack. Since that horrible day, there have been no shortage of opinions and explanations as to why it happened, and what should happen next. That’s as it should be if there’s any hope of preventing similar events in the future (and, since this attack is the latest in a string of deadly gun massacres in the U.S., there’s a clear need to address the problem). That said, no one explanation — if that’s even the right word — seems very satisfying on its own. Stricter gun control has
L
been the first and perhaps most obvious remedy offered. Certainly, one wonders why Lanza’s mother would ever need the kind of gun he used to carry out his killings. One wonders why any civilian would need hundreds of rounds capable of causing maximum damage to its target. The need for better control of (if not a ban on) military-style weaponry would seem obvious. That said, even the most strict gun control legislation would not be a guarantee that this kind of attack would never happen again. Here in Canada, we do have more strict control of guns, but we are not immune to this kind of massacre. Mental health awareness is another issue at play — and, clearly, Lanza was mentally ill. Nevertheless, he did not get the help he so obviously needed; had he been diagnosed and treated, we have no doubt this tragedy could have been avoided. Instead, he was left to his own devices, and it ultimately consumed him — along with 27 innocent victims. There have been numerous other factors to discuss. Lanza’s apparent fondness for violent
video games has been noted. Media coverage of similar gun attacks that have, perhaps, planted a horrible seed in an already disturbed minds America’s ‘gun culture’ has been blamed, as has the lack of religious faith in schools. All this will be debated in the weeks and months to come, south of the border and here in Canada. Ideally, it will result in a plan that will make these tragedies a thing of the past. Indeed, there’s an obligation to those lost on Friday to have these discussions. In the meantime, we can do what we’re supposed to do at this time of the year: be good to each other, to cherish family and to have hope. There is never any harm in that.
Once again this year I have been able to enjoy the heartwarming concert held at Newburgh Public School this past Saturday. Each year I count the days until, as I call it, I receive my yearly medicine through the sounds of laughter, singing and memories of years gone by. I do know that the last few weeks have been very difficult on all of us as with losing members of our families and loving friends, but somehow with the grace of God all of the castmembers were able to pull together and put on a happy and joyous concert. From the beginning act with ‘Red Santa Cup’ to the closing you made us laugh, giggle and shed a few tears, and meet new castmembers who have now become part of your family as well. Do we have living male angels on earth? You bet we do in the form of Len and Sef who literally brought the crowd to their feet with their rendition of O Holy Night. From ‘Dora the Explorer’ and ‘North Pole Bachelor’ to ‘A baby changes everything’, the concert again this year was a roaring success. Special thanks to Mae and Jim Wood and the entire cast and crew for spending many long hours in rehearsing and giving us the time of our lives. It is so nice to see dads and moms and daughters and sons, all crew or castmembers in the greatest concert on Earth. Freeda and Trina and Freddie and Lester, you all belong in the hall of fame. Precious Janie Ryan, you have a strong heart of gold and I truly love you and CUPE Local 1480 for presenting a cheque in the form of $1,500 to help make sure the little ones affiliated with Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac and L&A will receive special gifts at Christmas. You are a truly caring group. Special thanks to Barb Marshall and Don Abbott for getting me to the concert, into my seat and safely back home. Yes, folks, we do have angels among us.

Christmas joy spread around the world FTER a few hours of sitting down and writing all my Christmas cards to family and friends, I’ve wondered where this tradition came from. I love writing these cards with special messages and including a recent picture of my three little monkeys. As I gaze at their picture, I’m amazed at how fast they are growing up. I’m looking forward to getting cards from my family and friends from all around the world and seeing their latest photos of their families and marvel at how much they have changed in a year’s time. A British civil servant Sir Henry Cole had the idea of Christmas cards with his friend John Horsley who was an artist. Sir Henry Cole was interested in the new ‘Public Post Office’ and wondered how it could be used more by ordinary people. Sir Henry with his friend designed the first card and sold them for one shilling each (which is about eight cents today, but in 1843, eight cents was worth much more then than what it is now). The card had three panels. The outer panels showed people caring for the poor and in the centre panel was a family having dinner, touching glasses and saying ‘Merry Christmas.’ Putting alcohol and holy Christmas in one picture did not please the English citizens then. At this time, the first postal service that ordinary people could use was started around 1840 when the first ‘Penny Post’ public postal deliveries began. Before this time, it was only the very rich that could afford to send anything by mail.
A
With the new railways being built, they were able to carry much more post than horse and carriage. The new Post Office was able to offer a Penny Stamp. After the first Christmas Cards were produced, the idea was very well-received with the following year; more than 25,000 Christmas cards were sold. Christmas cards became even more popular, when printing methods improved and large quantities were being produced around 1860s. By 1870, Christmas cards could be posted in an unsealed envelope for one halfpenny — half the price of an ordinary letter. The first Christmas cards usually had pictures of Nativity scenes on them. The custom of sending Christmas cards had spread over Europe and had become especially popular in Germany. Christmas cards did not come to North America until the late 1840s, but weren’t very popular because they were very expensive. In 1875, German immigrant Louis Prang, who was a printer and also worked on early cards in Britain, started mass producing cards so everyone could afford and send them. By 1881, Prang was producing more than 5 million Christmas cards per year. In 1915, John C. Hall and his two brothers created Hallmark Cards; which is one of the world’s largest card makers today. In the 1920s, making homemade cards became popular. They were very delicate, in unusual

shapes and had great details on them such as foil and ribbon. These cards were usually given by hand rather than send through the mail. Today, Christmas cards come in all shapes and sizes — from small and simple to big and colourful, with all sorts of pictures on them, jokes or romantic. The most popular cards are the old fashioned and nostalgic ones, and of course with the big, chubby Santa Claus. Charities often sell their own Christmas Cards as a way to raise money at Christmas. The custom of charities selling Christmas cards and seals and stickers for envelops started in the early 1900s by a postal worker who thought it would be a good way for charities to raise money. It was a great success as four million were sold in the first year. It’s a wonderful way to help charities, and their cards are just as festive as ones bought in the store. I have bought my Christmas cards from a charity for the last 10 years and have always been pleased with their designs and quality, plus it feels good to help out when you can. In this internet age, sending electronic Christmas cards has become the trend. Everyone looks forward to receiving cards from their loved ones. I know I look forward to getting a few handmade cards from my aunts in Holland, as well as the humorous card from my friend in Australia, where Santa is always wearing shorts, t-shirt and sunglasses. I hope you all receive many cards with Christmas cheer from loved ones. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday and all the best in 2013.

Mute swan at Glenora deserved far better There was one less Mute Swan for volunteers with the annual Winter Bird Count to tally on the weekend in the Adolphus Reach at Glenora. An Adolpustown resident said an operator of a small boat a few days earlier intentionally steered toward three mute swans swimming in the Reach, brutally killing one of them. All this as onlookers from shore and both the staff and passengers aboard Glenora Ferry watched in horror and disbelief. It is during times like this when I will sit in silence and attempt to distance myself from the human race. As beautiful and graceful as mute swans are as they float along in perfect harmony on the water, not everyone is a big fan of this introduced invasive species as their sheer numbers have done much to displace native species. But, it is a life, and to take it in such a callous and vicious manner says a lot about the mentality of this boater. We just hope this person lives alone and has no wife or children. Unlike the migratory tundra swan that migrates north out of Ontario to nest, mute swans are permanent residents. At this time of the year, they tend to move around a lot, dictated by ice conditions. When things really freeze up, local breeding populations will move to the largely open waters of Lake Ontario, Presqu’ile Bay and the Barcovan
area where numbers burgeon to 500 birds, or so. Come spring, mute swans will disperse to their breeding grounds in local ponds, marshes, coves and bays. And it is here, where the problems begin. The Prince Edward County and Napanee areas currently harbour an enormous population of breeding mute swans — one of the largest populations in eastern Ontario. Populations have more than tripled in the last decade in our area. They are voracious eaters, capable of eating eight pounds of aquatic vegetation in a day and uprooting another 20 pounds in the process. This results in loss of habitat and a key food source for native waterfowl and aquatic species, including fish, and may even be impacting food sources and loafing areas of the migratory tundra swan that passes through our area in both spring and fall. An active pair of mute swans requires a breeding territory of some 13 to 15 acres, and in their protection of this territory, will drive out, and sometimes even kill, any native waterfowl species that dare enter. It may even be this aggressive behaviour to defend territory that drove this person in the boat to commit this unspeakable act of cruelty. If in doubt about their behaviour during the nesting season, just canoe toward a family of mute swans
Terry Sprague
Outdoor Rambles sometime, hold up a white sheet, and see what happens! Their frenzied rush to the canoeist will be like an approaching freight train and their wings can easily break an arm. Hard to imagine this change in demeanour when you see children feeding mute swans during the non-breeding season, when there are no territories to protect. At this time of the year, mute swans are goodnatured, approachable and a symbol of peace and tranquility as they float lazily along, effortlessly, up and down the shorelines and in still open coves and bays. However, does the current overpopulation and the sometimes aggressiveness of mute
swans justify purposely torturing and killing them? I think not and I have absolutely zero use or compassion for any human being that mistreats any animal – I don’t care what it is, or the supposed reasons for it. A year ago, there was a similar incident on Wellers Bay where a boater was observed chasing down cormorants and driving over them because this unpopular bird did not fit into his warped idea of a perfect world. It was black, it was ugly, and deserved no better. And with many thousands of cormorants flying low over the waters of Wellers Bay that day, was he naïve enough to believe that successfully eliminating a half dozen or so, if that, made a dent in the overall population? People who devote many hours to their misdirected pursuit of a perfect world obviously have a whole lot more spare time on their hands than most of us normal people. Do cormorants impact fish populations? Perhaps. Do cormorants destroy islands? Cer-
tainly, they do. But islands have been appearing, evolving and disappearing for thousands of years. Some people are upset because it’s happening during our lifetime and we feel that we have to control things, and have order. And mute swans could evolve to become the new cormorant of the century. It’s how Nature evolves. Get over it! We need to get past this outdated Jack Miner obsession of placing wildlife into good and bad categories. If we do so, then we should step right up ourselves for inspection and assessment. Certainly, this mute swan, no matter what its past sins, did not deserve to die in this manner. And it certainly did not need to happen on centre stage in front of a ferry load of passengers. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 6134760-5072.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 70 Years Ago December 23, 1942 n In its last issue before Christmas, The Napanee Beaver ran a simple yet profound front page, showing three soldiers on the front lines and a Christmas Star. The picture also came with a short message, desperately needed during the height of the Second World War: ‘Be of good cheer. In a world of dreary blackouts the Christmas Star of Hope and Peace shines on… a prophecy of what shall be and a symbol that for which free men still suffer and strive. May its gleam lighten all the world this Christmastide.’ n The federal government announced that there will be less ‘good cheer’ in some alcohol products. The government was calling on distillers to reduce the amount of alcohol per volume of some whiskies and other spirits. Much of the products on store shelves already met the new standard, however some drinks — particularly whiskies and rums — needed to be taken down a few alcoholic notches or be removed from shelves altogether. The move would bring Canada’s liquor products in line with similar products in the U.K., but much weaker than products available in the U.S.
35 Years Ago December 21, 1977 n The Napanee Region Conservation Authority came up with a dynamite idea to alleviate flooding along the Salmon River near Lonsdale. Blasting on the river managed to clear away ice-dam flooding that had damaged or threatened homes and farms in the area, giving families a chance to look foward to Christmas “with a sense of relief.” The blasting had to repeated a few times after the river once again became clogged with ice. n A 20-year-old Napanee man was being honoured in Prince Edward County for his quick thinking and brave actions that helped saved residents of a burning apartment building in Picton. Randy Davey said it was a “spur of the moment” decision to run into the building. He said he wouldn’t hesitate from doing the same thing again, though he admitted he might be more careful the next time: Davey suffered second- and third-degree burns during his rescue attempt.

Southview Public School student Lexi Dunn, 8, made good on a promise to her mother on Friday, cutting her locks and donating them to Angel Hair for Kids, a charity that makes wigs for kids battling illnesses. Dunn's mother allowed her to grow her hair for a year if she agreed to donate to the charity. Dunn also raised money through a 50/50 sale and selling baked goods. Her entire class turned out to watch her get her hair cut in the halls of the school.
STRIKE… Board in communication with union
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“Silence is compliance,” said Lumb. “If we don’t stand up and make some noise here, then you’re basically saying ‘that’s fine and we accept this.’ We don’t accept this. That’s why we had unprecedented strike vote results in terms of 99 per cent (of the union members) for this strike.” Only Limestone District School Board elementary schools are affected by the job action, a fact board officials are taking great measures to stress. “To make sure there’s clarity, because there’s a lot of media coverage on this, communication is going home with the secondary schools throughout various means to confirm that school is happening for them,” said Andre Labrie, superintendent for the
Limestone District School Board. “We’ve got it up on the Limestone website (www.limestone.on.ca) on our front page,” added Karen Smith, spokesperson with the Limestone District School Board. “We have an abridged version and a full labour version on our website…. we’ve got it up on our Twitter account and people are re-tweeting it and helping us spread the word.” Smith warns that although parents may see school buses running, that doesn’t mean the elementary schools are open. Any busses they see will be either high school or Catholic school board buses. “We’re certainly in constant communication with our local union representative,” said Labrie, reflecting on relations between the

union and the school board. “We’ve been bargaining local issues. The issues related with Bill 115 have not yet been dealt with at the bargaining table. The union is really taking on the government in that regard… fortunately for us we’ve never had a strike here in Limestone through the bargaining process. We’ve always managed to locally work through our bargaining issues. This is definitely new ground.” All classes are expected to resume tomorrow. That, however, doesn't mean the ETFO is done fighting the proposed bill. “The fulcrum point here is Dec. 31,” said Lumb, referring to the date the Bill 115 comes into force. “I don’t know what this minister (Laurel Broten), what this premier or what this government plans to do on
Dec. 31. At that point the ball will be in their court." Premier Dalton McGuinty has gone on record as saying the major issue in the dispute is salaries He deemed Bill 115 necessary to continue allday Kindergarten, smaller class sizes and to protect 10,000 teaching jobs. The proposed bill limits the union’s ability to legally strike, cuts sick days from 20 down to 10 and freezes wages for the next two years. “Our members don’t take going on strike lightly,” Lumb continued. “They’re all going to lose a day’s wage for this, so it’s absolutely not about money. If it was, I don’t believe they’d want to give that up. They believe in what they’re doing. We’re fighting the democratic principals of Bill 115.”

Raiders tripped up in 6-3 loss to Jets Late PP goal derails rally By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER SPORTS
Submitted photo
Alex Moore will skate for Team Canada at the U-18 Women’s World Championship next week in Finland.
Moore suits up for Canada’s U-18 squad Napanee star nearly missed out By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER SPORTS ERSISTENCE has been a valuable virtue throughout Alexandra Moore’s hockey career, never letting any roster cut discourage her. That unrelenting drive has paid off for the 17-yearold Napanee native, first earning a spot on this past November’s National Women’s U-18 Ontario Red team and now the U-18 Women’s World Championship, held Dec. 29 to Jan. 5 in Finland. Prior to this year she was cut from Ontario’s U18 training camp roster three times before finally receiving good news. Each time she quickly got over the disappointment and used it as motivation to push harder with her Kingston IceWolves and Whitby Jr. Wolves team. “It was really exciting,” she said of finding out she'd been selected. “I worked really hard to make the team. I was sad (when she was cut the other times), but I just kept going because I knew one of the years I would make it.” She made the most of her final year of eligibility for the U-18s, held in Dawson Creek, B.C., picking up two assists in five games and earning Player of the Game honours in Ontario Red’s 3-1 win over B.C. The two teams met again in the bronze medal game, with Ontario Red earning a 3-2 OT win to capture the medal. “It was really nerve wracking,” Moore said of
P
entering extra time still tied. “That final goal, when we scored it, was really exciting. We were discouraged because every year Red (usually) wins the gold medal. It was discouraging to be in the bronze medal game when we should have won gold, but bronze was still really exciting.” Moore says she made up her mind that she was going to play in the tournament back in 2008 when she watched the games as a fan at Napanee’s Strathcona Paper Centre. The very same rink she developed her skills as a member of the Napanee Crunch and Napanee Stars. “It looked like it was really fun to play in and to make it to a high level,” Moore recalled of being a fan at the games. “I just wanted to follow in those girls' footsteps that I had watched.” When it came time to fill out the roster for the U18 Worlds, once again Moore was almost over looked again. After failing to make the squad that entered a U.S. series tournament, Moore seemed unlikely to make the Worlds. She didn’t let it discourage her one bit, posting eye-opening numbers with Whitby and turning heads at the U-18s. “Representing my country and playing with players all across Canada is my dream,” said Moore. Down the road she hopes to lace up for Canada in the Olympic games. In the meantime she was content to accept a hockey scholarship with New York State's St. Lawrence University for next fall.
Offense and defense couldn't sync up for the Napanee Raiders this week, as they dropped Friday's game in Deseronto 3-1 and Tuesday's home match against Amherstview 6-3. Napanee’s three goal output was the most they scored since their 8-2 win on Dec. 4, but it wasn’t enough to halt their losing streak, now at four games. Despite the final 6-3 score, Napanee was right in the game until the 17:33 mark when Cody Stapley converted on a power-play to make it 5-3. Troy Wylie

Napanee’s Evan Brown and Amherstview’s Brett Yake get tangled up during Tuesday’s game. drew the penalty while tripping a Jet player that was on a breakaway. “There are good penalties and bad penalties, and that was definitely a good penalty,” said Raiders head coach Scott Slack. “He took
away the free shot that (the Jets’ player) was going to have and it cost us. Those things happen and sometimes it ends up in your net and there's nothing you can do about it.” Nic Pascoal added an
empty net goal for the Jets with 23 seconds left to put the icing on the cake. Both teams entered the first intermission with a goal, Amherstview’s from Isaac Desousa and Napanee's from Evan Brown. Alex Wilson gave the Jets the lead they’d never relinquish and Cody Jodoin doubled it on a nice break away goal, flipping the puck past Mike Brogee while getting hauled down. Jesse Lloyd brought Napanee a little closer, but was offset by Brody Taylor's tally. Wylie struck early in the third, but Napanee couldn’t get the equalizer. “We did show some character when we went down one and did score,” said Slack.

New goalie breathes life into the Storm Ben Elliot makes 55 saves to secure Deseronto’s first win at home By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER After a brutal 12-2 debut loss in Picton on Thursday, goaltender Ben Elliot quickly endeared himself to Deseronto Storm fans on Friday, winning 3-1 at home over the Napanee Raiders. Elliot gave the Raiders fits all night, turning away 55 shots, clinging to a one goal lead for most the night. “It really keeps me entwined in the game,” Elliot said of protecting a slim advantage. “I know it’s a tight game so I have to stay focused for the whole 60 minutes.” Conrad Charlton rewarded his goalie’s effort with a strike at the 17:03 mark of the first on a pass from Riley Muise. The 1-0 lead held until 15:46 into the second when Jesse Burtch doubled it to 2-0 with help from Nick Ferguson and Corey Prince. A power-play goal from Luke Emmons just 58 seconds into the third made for a nervous final frame. Napanee continued to apply pressure, peppering the Storm net with shots. “I always try to keep good rebound control,” said Elliot. “Every time I make a save I always put myself in a good position to make a second save. That’s what happened tonight.” With six Raiders

Nick Ferguson recorded his second assist of the night on the play. The win gave Deseronto just their third win against 24 losses. It also marked the Storm’s first home win in 13 tries. “They knew they had to absolutely play hockey, none of this chirping crap,” said Storm head coach Adam Maracle. “The boys skated away from everything and played whistle to whistle….we haven’t been getting the bounces all year. Tonight we got the bounces and it felt good.” A win was just what the Storm needed after taking their lumps in
Thursday’s 12-2 loss to Picton. Elliot, who was playing in his first Junior C game of the year, allowed all 12 goals, including one just 2:30 into the game. Prince tied it up less than two minutes later, but it was all Pirates from there. Deseronto’s Jordan Cannons added a goal just before the buzzer at the end of the second, but it was already 8-2 Picton at that point. Jack Davidson and Riley Main each scored twice for the Pirates. Though the final score was ugly, a game was all Elliot seemed to need to regain his form. After watching from the bench in Campbellford last year, he had sat out the first 25 games of the season wait-
ing for a call. “I didn’t want to sign with Campbellford because I didn't like what happened last year,” said Elliot. “I thought I had a better chance playing somewhere else but stuff wasn’t working out. I stayed out on the ice and kept working out and I finally got the chance with Deseronto.” Given the fact they’ve given up 173 goals in 27 games, any goaltending help will be a welcome sight for the Storm. They’ll try to erase memories of their previous two meetings tonight when they head to Picton for a 7:30 p.m. showdown. They’ll welcome the Rebels to the Deseronto Community Centre tomorrow at 8:30 p.m.

This draw shows Ray Snider and Mark Dunham advancing to A with Walter Genereux and Dave Travers moving to B. Darrell Scott and Ken Healy advance to B while John Deman and Daryl Latimer move to C. Congratulations are also in order to the team of Sheryl French, Gayle Johnson, Kelly Roantree and Cathy Palmer who are advancing to the Regionals in the OCA The Dominion Senior Woman playdowns being held at our club Jan. 19-20. Paul Dickson on the men’s side was not as fortunate and will not advance to the Regionals. The final game in the Grandmasters ‘over 70” curling event had our team of Ted Davie, Barton MacLean, Paul Spooner, Al Thompson playing in the finals against Ron Hutcheson from Tweed. Davie won the game with Kees VanGent filling in for Paul Spooner. Davie had to win two games as he was in the B side so played Tweed twice who started out in the A side as this is a double knock out event. Good luck and good curling to all of you in the Provincials in Thornhill sometime in March. Brining VanGent may not be a bad idea.
Congratulations

Napanee Minor Hockey Report
Midget Crunch show intermediates how it’s done
BEAVER STAFF Age is just a number and the Napanee Crunch Midget girls proved it by winning a house league tournament in Peterborough earlier this month. Due to a lack of teams in the midget division, the Napanee squad was entered into the intermediate loop,which consists of girls as much as three years older than what Napanee is accustomed to playing against. This age difference did not seem to bother the Crunch girls as they not only won the tournament, they did so in a convincing manner without losing a game and having only three goals scored against the whole weekend. The finals of the intermediate division would be a rematch of the Crunch's closest game of the tournament against the Wolves. The Crunch knew what to expect and went out setting the pace with their fast skating and relentless forechecking. Napanee dictated the play throughout the game and it was evident from the start that nothing was going to stop them from capturing the gold medal. With goals from Christie Copeland, Hanna Sweet, Erin Telford, Shayla Moore and Cassandra Benn, the team cruised to a 5-0 victory and greatly deserved to hoist the trophy. Holly Klein registered her third shut-out of the tournament and allowed only three goals in the four games played. The girls began the tournament with a 2-0 win over the Brampton Sportacular in a tightchecking affair that
saw goaltender Klein make several game saving stops. Annie Manion and Sweet were the goal scorers. In the second contest, Napanee faced the Whitby Wolves in a back and forth battle that ended in a 3-3 tie with the Crunch coming back from a 3-1 deficit. The coaching staff was pleased with how the team never got down on themselves and fought their way back to the draw with just over two minutes left in the game. Benn started her team's scoring with Moore notching two, one being the tying marker. On Saturday night, the team’s third game, the Crunch's opponent was another group from Whitby. Napanee never really gave them a chance to get into the game and came away with a 4-0 victory , which secured them a place in the finals to be played on Sunday morning. The coaches and parents were extremely impressed with girls all weekend, who worked together with unselfish play and a great defensive effort. n The Kumon Atom Crunch picked up another four points on the weekend to stay near the top of their division. Saturday they traveled to Clarington and picked up a 2-1 win. Maddy Cronkwright scored both Crunch goals with Emma Granger picking up an assist on Cronkwright’s first goal. On Sunday, the Kumon Crunch played the visiting Whitby Wolves and came away winning 4-1. Hailey Treadgold opened the scoring with assists going to Anna Baker and Chloe Brunner. The Crunch kept putting it
on with Lauren Sutton and Ella Pringle scoring the second and third goals, Payton Hutcheson picking up the assist on both goals. Amber Weese finished out the scoring with Sutton assisting. Maddie Burgess was strong in net picking up both wins. n With four weeks left in the regular season in most divisions of the Lakeshore League, the Napanee Grant’s Insurance Minor Peewee Stars remain at the top of the Lakeshore standings, still undefeated, thanks to a 12-0 trouncing of the Oshawa squad. As well as the usual offensive Stars — Ryan Kirkpatrick, Emmet Pierce, Adam Burger, and Logan White — they also got goals from Alex Ketcheson and Carter Hunt in the win. They are home to Clarington Saturday at 6 p.m n Meanwhile the Country Traditions Novice A's Stars now have 17 straight wins and are 6 points ahead of second place Quinte West with a 10-0 win over Oshawa. The highlight of that game was Jakob DaCosta scoring his first goal of the season. Assisting this goal was Cole Campbell. Corbin Votary earned the shutout. Clarington pays a visit Saturday at 3:30 p.m. n The Novice AE Stars faced the PEC Kings in Napanee, and took the win 6-2. Goal scorers were Spencer Cranley (two), Taylor Gilmour (two), Ben Buxton and Gavin Brooks each with one. Assists went to Spencer, Gavin, Will Myers, Carter McKee and Ben Huyck. Sunday the AEs faced the Oshawa Generals.

power-play strike less than a minute into the third. The score stayed 2-1 until the final minute of the game when Jared Boomhower potted an empty netter to seal the win. With the losses Napanee is now 7-18-1 on the year, trailing Campbellford by 17 points for the final playoff spot. Napanee has 14 games remaining, the Rebels 16. Picton leads the league at 19-4-0-2, three points ahead of Port Hope (18-8-0-1). Amherstview moved to 16-10-0-1 with the win, edging the Rebels by one point for sole possession of third.

It was a fast paced match up with both teams eager for the win. Goaltending was outstanding on both ends of the ice. In the end the Stars finished with a tied score of 1-1. Gilmour scored for the locals. Jacob Brown and Nathaniel Cinnamon shared the duties of the net both games. n The Boyd Electric Peewees continued to move up in the standings this week with a 1-1 tie in Cobourg on Friday. Call-up Logan White got their only marker, set up by Alex Brady and Ryan McLay. The Stars were edged Saturday by Clarington 3-2. They spotted their guests three in the middle frame, but almost managed the comeback in the third. After hitting a crossbar, White slid a pass to Steven Shea who scored. White made it 3-2, with help from Brendan Hagerman, but the boys could not convert on the power play in the last minute. In a penalty-filled tilt in Whitby, they dominated on the scoreboard, 71. The Stars out shot their opponents 36-18, and controlled the play. Goal scorers were Shea (two), Mak Montpetit (two), Nelson Powers (two), and Hagerman. They host Oshawa Saturday at 7:30 p.m. n The Peewee AEs did not fare as well, with losses in Belleville, in Whitby, and at home to the Clarington Toros. Michael Lloyd scored
Napanee’s only goal over three games, a first-period marker against the Bulls on Thursday. Kiel Benton earned an assist. n The Napanee Minor Atom As were close to home this weekend for a 3 game stretch, starting Friday in Kingston. With 2 quick goals in the first by Kingston, Ben White had to get Napanee on the scoreboard, assisted by Blake Maracle, and Emerson Kennelly. Johnny Hearns added a goal, assisted by Dylan Bailey and Jacob Boutilier. The third period was action packed as Napanee started it off with a goal by Bailey, with help from Boutilier and Connor Brooks, followed by a goal from Kingston. Napanee got 2 back-to-back goals by Cole Campbell from Maracle and Brooks to make it 5-3 for the Stars. n At home on Saturday against Quinte West, the first goal went to Quinte, followed by two goals from Napanee in the first. Connor Brooks and Josh Reid tallied, assisted by Maracle, Caden Holmes and White. Quinte scored in the second, and again in he third to make it 3-2 for the guests. A tough game, but well played by the entire team. n Back in Kingston Sunday, and again down by one, Napanee stepped up to put one in the net by Holmes from Bailey and White. Two more goals for Kingston in the second had the Stars behind going into the third.
Find
White, with help from Bailey, gave the Stars one more but it wasn’t enough as Kingston managed to put two more between the posts, making the final score 5-2. n The Giant Tiger Bantams played a stingy defense in shutting out Port Perry 3-0 on Friday night. Keir Doyle and Jacob Murphy (two) scored for the Stars, while Jonathan White was stellar in goal to earn the shutout. They only allowed a single goal, as well, in a tie with

BEN ELLIOT
Whitby Blue. Noah Kennedy tallied in the 1-1 game. With five games remaining, they are third in the tightly bunched standings, having only three losses thus far. n The Peewee Roster Select team faced Oshawa in a close, nailbiter. Napanee’s Kelly Newton and Jeff Wales notched goals, assisted by Hayden Allen and Nick Yeomans, but they had it slip away in the last few minutes, losing 3-2.
Dec. 21: Campbellford Rebels @ Deseronto Storm, 8:30 p.m. at the Deseronto Community Recreation Centre.
Ben Elliot is a newlyacquired goaltender with the Deseronto Storm. In his home debut he stole the show, stopping 55 pucks to preserve a 3-1 win. After spending last season with the Campbellford Rebels, he spent most of this season unsigned before latching on with the Storm. They’ll count on him heavily down the stretch.
Jan. 4: Napanee Raiders @ Deseronto Storm, 8:30 p.m. at the Deseronto Community Recreation Centre.

What would I not give to clasp her hand, Her dear, sweet face to see, To hear her voice, to see her smile, That meant so much to me, You left behind an aching heart That loved you most sincere, I never did, nor ever will Forget you, mother dear. Pam, Jim and Marg. BENN - In loving memory of Don, loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, who passed away December 25, 2011. Loved and always remembered, wife Anne and children, Cindy, Teresa and David and families. BENN - In loving memory of Clinton, who passed away December 21, 1999. Gone but not forgotten. Love, Shawna and Wyatt. KENNEDY - In loving memory of our parents, Cecil, September 16, 1998; Fern, December 24, 2007 and our sister Alfreda, December 7, 1937. You lived full of light and full of love, with an energy and life about you that shone bright and perfect. You touched each and every life that crossed your path. You inspired us with your life so well lived. The way you lived so completely, using every moment that you were given to do a good thing to affect the world. You taught us all what love, joy, kindness and generosity truly means. You lived your life as an example for others to follow. You left us with big shoes to fill and though we may not be able to fill them as well as you did, we will try in your honour and memory to continue your legacy and pass your love, joy and kindness on to another generation. You will always be the brightest star in the sky. Loving you always, Clarence, Rosemarie, Bob, Winona, 7 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great-grandchild.

We dearly miss you Dot. Atkinson girls, family and friends.

“ERIC” WILLIAM JAMES SCHARF March 20, 1932 - December 19, 2011
Our Father kept a garden, A garden of the heart, He planted all the good things That gave our lives their start, He turned us to the sunshine And encouraged us to dream, Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self esteem. And when the winds and rain came He protected us enough, But not too much because he knew We would stand up strong and tough, His constant good example Always taught us right from wrong, Markers for our pathway That will last a lifetime long. We are our Father’s garden, We are his legacy. Thank You Dad, We Love You! Loved and Missed every day, Brian and Carrie

Rest in Peace
Grandpa: You were just a boy so many years ago, You had your loves, you had your dreams, You watched us come and go. You watched us make the same mistakes That you had made before, But that just made you hold us tight And love us all the more. We haven’t always thought about The things that you have seen, To us you’ve just been “Grandpa,” No thought of who you’ve been. But we remember now in love Your life from start to end And love you so, so very much Our Grandpa and our Friend.

H O R O S C O P E S
ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, you may need to take a leap of faith when someone close to you asks for your assistance. Act first and ask questions later. It will be worth it. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, there is bound to be a learning curve when you begin a new job or a new task. Do not be hard on yourself if it takes you a little longer. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, thoughtful reflection certainly may provide some of the answers you seek. But another way is to simply get out there and ask other people what they think. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, sad situations may come up, but you have a way of deflecting the situation and showcasing the bright side of things. You may find you are a person providing support this week. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, many opportunities to entertain family and friends are on the horizon. Honor all of your commitments and enjoy all of the festivities. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, while you aspire to have many friends, you just may find that there are only a few special people who hold the strings to your heart. It is okay to keep them close.
LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, sit down and enjoy some peace and quiet. You may enjoy the break from the frenetic pace you have been keeping the last few months. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Ever an ideas person, Scorpio, now you have to put some follow-through into those plans. You can likely find a few friends to join you on your next adventure. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, things certainly go on when you’re not around, but others may notice they just may not be as fun. You often lend joviality to anything you attend so spread your cheer. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, bide your time and you just may end the year on a bang. Don’t be afraid to add other things to your last-minute wish list because your goals just may be met. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, you enjoy social situations but that doesn’t mean you have to be the life of the party. Keep this in mind as you attend holiday gatherings. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, while others are thinking about what presents they want under the tree, you may be thinking of how to give back to others.

A dairy-lightful holiday idea Goal of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Christmas with the Cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is education, says farmer Between eggnog, homebaked treats and even the milk left next to the cookies for Santa, dairy products play a huge, though often overlooked, role in most Christmas celebrations. To that end, local dairy farmer Kevin MacLean is opening his Ripplebrook Farm doors on Dec. 28, allowing the public a firsthand look at where the main ingredient to their holiday fun originates. From photo ops with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Carrie the Curious Cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to a tour of the milking facility, kids will get a unique chance to learn about the farm life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally we run Dairy Days in the springtime, but it just focuses on students,â&#x20AC;? said MacLean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity for the kids and their families to come out and appreciate a bit of agriculture and appreciate whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the county. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly an opportunity to spotlight what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing here and our commitment to agriculture.â&#x20AC;? Known as Christmas with the Cows, the event will allow guests to see the process that goes into collecting milk, as well as taste finished products like ice cream and cheese, provided by the Lennox and Addington Milk Producers. Of course, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a proper tour if kids didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to pet the calves as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hit for the kids, they love feeding the calves,â&#x20AC;? said MacLean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really lucky thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a cow having a baby in the pen.â&#x20AC;? Members of the local branch of the 4-H Club will also be on hand to answer any questions about dairy farming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a wow factor when people come,â&#x20AC;? said MacLean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen (milking) before. Maybe some of the grandparents have, but certainly a lot of the kids havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the fortune of seeing it.â&#x20AC;? Milking time is from 47 p.m., but guests are welcome at any time during the day. As the temperature drops MacLean says there will be a bonfire com-

A group of a Napanee residents gather at the Christmas Tree at Market Square for a candlelight vigil in memory of the victims of the Newtown elementary school shooting.
Vigil honours memory of school shooting victims By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER OVED by the horrific news of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, a gathering of about 20 people met outside Napanee’s town hall Sunday night to pay tribute to the 27 innocent victims of the horrific attack. Rhonda Snider organized the candlelight vigil on short notice after seeing the shocking events on Friday’s 6 p.m. news. When she posed the idea to her mother, Ellen Cadeau, she was instantly on board to help. They began spreading the word through texts and Facebook, using the town’s lighted Christmas tree as the meeting spot. “All the kids that were lost in a senseless act of violence, it was heartbreaking,” Cadeau said of her reasons for organizing the event. “I have kids of my own and had to do something for the kids.” “It’s sad that (the victims) aren’t here to celebrate (Christmas) with us,” said Snider. “But they’re still in our hearts and our prayers.” James Timlin of the Town of Greater Napanee set the tree to a sombre all white setting, illuminating the vigil.
M
“All the ones not coming home for Christmas, it’s so sad,” added Cadeau. Anyone who attended the vigil was encouraged to sign a message on some Bristol board that contained the names of all the victims. Snider says she plans to mail anything left at the vigil to Newtown, CT as a show of support to the victims’ families. “I brought a pink teddy bear and a blue teddy bear to represent the boys and the girls,” added Snider. Although the incident occurred miles away from Napanee and no one in attendance had any prior connection to the victims, tears were shed. Shortly after candles were passed around, the silence was broken with an impromptu singing of Silent Night. “I’m sure (the residents of Newtown) would do the same thing if something happened here,” said Cadeau. “We are a small town but we have a big heart.” The once-sleepy community of Sandy Hook will never be the same as they come to grips with the chilling incident of Dec. 14. Next to the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, it’s the second deadliest school shooting in the history of the United States. As word spread of the horrendous act, tributes like the one in Napanee were held in all corners of the world.

Christmas writing from Centreville Gr. 2/3s Christmas Morning My favourite holiday tradition is spending Christmas day with some of my family members. Only some of my family members are there because some are gone away. You can smell the hot chocolate which makes my mouth water and the honey candles, makes that sweet honey smell which is so good! For breakfast we have delicious pancakes which are yummy! We open our presents and all you can see is the flying wrapping paper going around the room from the brightly wrapped presents. The Christmas tree is all decorated with homemade ornaments. The room is filled with people laughing and smiling and all you can hear is multiple conversations. Christmas morning is the time that I look forward to most! Isaac, Grade 2 Christmas Christmas time at my house is the best time for me. I hear a “Ho, Ho, Ho” and bells jingling on Christmas eve when I am falling asleep on Christmas eve. When I come downstairs you see the bright lights on the Christmas tree and the bright presents all wrapped up. People are all smiling and laughing. You can really smell the bacon cooking for breakfast. When it is time
to open up presents you can see everyone ripping and tearing, as well as people reading as they enjoy chocolates. I really like Christmas. Evan, Grade 2 What I Do On Christmas On Christmas day, my brother always wakes me up and then we open our awesome presents. I hear laughing and the jingle bells of Santa’s sled, as well as his reindeer stomping on our roof as he goes “HO, HO, HO”. There is bright, beautiful wrapping paper flying in the air as the presents are ripped open. Our Christmas tree has a strong pine scent and is filled with beautiful ornaments. I can taste the hot chocolate as well as the minty candy canes. That is how I spend Christmas day. Sydney Grade 2 My Favourite Holiday Tradition All the holidays have a reason, that’s why they do it. Each Christmas morning I go eat a large breakfast with my family and then I get to open the brightly wrapped presents. My cousin always goes first, then my sister Pippa and so on. After we open the presents we go on the couch to look at what we got, then
comes the best part, we get to play with them! We finish off with playing some games to celebrate. Luke, Grade 2 My Favourite Holiday Tradition My favourite holiday tradition is Christmas day because of the beautifully wrapped presents. I hear cheers of joy and smell the honey buns cooking in the oven. I love the cherry cheese cake that we get to enjoy after we have some of moms homemade stuffing, it is scrumptious, yum, yum. Carter, Grade 3 Christmas I hear Santa Clauses deer paws stomping on my roof and Santa saying “Merry Christmas and all a good night”. I see cookies left over and a pretty tree with lots of presents. I see carrots on the ground outside, left over from Santa’s deers. I smell cookies, scrumptious turkey, spices and mashed potatoes. Maja, Grade 2 Goodyear Skating My favourite tradition is when my family goes to the Goodyear skating rink every year. When we get there it is cold, brrr. After skating we go
into a room with Santa and we get a present. We go to the table and rip open the present to see what is in it. We eat hot dogs and pizza and then you get a treat, like cotton candy that melts in your mouth. Then a magic show comes on as we are leaving. Brady, Grade 2 Christmas Day My favourite holiday is Christmas because it happens in the month of December and I get a special advent calendar and get to take stuff out of it every morning. Christmas day is the best! We make the scrumptious, delicious, mouth-watering turkey, and you can smell the pastries baking in the oven. Then we get to enjoy both. After this we get to pen presents and then we go to my friends house and we play with our toys. I love Christmas. Timothy, Grade 2 Christmas Day On December 25th I go to my Grandma’s house. First, I come in and go downstairs to eat a really big candy cane and they are really good! When I go back upstairs I can smell the turkey in the oven. I go downstairs again and after a few minutes my grandma brings down some super big chocolate muffins for every-
SEASON’S GREETINGS
Since 1867
Christmas On Christmas, we wake up really early and have a really scrumptious breakfast. Then we go in the dark living room and see sparkling ornaments and the bright Christmas tree. Next we open our brightly wrapped presents. After we open our presents we grad the minty delicious candy canes off the tree. Then we open the animals presents, and Niketa goes crazy when we open up her present. Then we go into the kitchen and you can smell the scrumptious turkey and pie in the hot oven. Next we make delicious homemade cookies and you can smell them all through the house. Finally we eat the turkey, pie and homemade cookies. Christmas is the best ever! Alysha, Grade 2 Christmas Day My favourite time of Christmas is not the treats or the presents because that it not what Christmas is all about. It is seeing my family. On Christmas day I smell the aroma of yummy food in the oven. >>>>>>>>

The Christmas tree smells great and it is very, very pretty with all of the decorations. I also see nicely wrapped presents. I taste a delicious Christmas dinner that’s cooking. I also taste my candy. I hear the sound of wrapping paper being ripped and my whole family talking to each other while we eat. I love Christmas day Carly, Grade 2 Christmas at Poppy’s My favourite holiday is spending the day at my Poppys. I hear yelling and Santa on the roof in the morning. I can see candy that is many different colours and it is delicious. I can taste the delicious cooked ham, potatoes and yummy cupcakes. It is really fun seeing my whole family! Braydyn, Grade 2 Christmas Eve On Christmas Eve I hear the bells on Santa’s magic sleigh. I see magic falling from the roof when Santa is on it. I taste the chocolate melting in my mouth when I wake up and open chocolate in my stocking. I can also smell the candy in it. I feel the strong love from Santa. Christmas Eve is awesome!

hammering toys together. On Christmas day, the thing I do first is run downstairs and open presents. When I go downstairs I see lots of things like tons of brightly wrapped presents and the joy of me and my sister opening them. What do I hear? Well I hear lots of things, like laughter and I love to dance to so I always put on some jamming Christmas music. For dinner we usually have a scrumptious turkey, and drink hot chocolate. When it comes to dessert I get all excited
Christmas Eve My favourite holiday tradition is Christmas eve. I can smell the scrumptious supper waiting for me in the kitchen I taste the fresh KFC and juicy turkey. All of this food makes my mouth water. I can also smell the sweet pine of the green Christmas tree. I can see people have fun and feelings of joy. When I look out my winder I see ice melting outside. I am very excited when I get a brand new toy! I can hear the Christmas music which makes me full of joy. Before going to bed I can hear Santa walking on my roof. I love Christmas eve, but especially the next day when I get free presents. Drew, Grade 3 Christmas Day My favourite time of the year is Christmas day because I do fun things! Lots of tissue paper is thrown all over. There is a beautiful Christmas tree with a star or sometimes an
CHRISTMAS GREETINGS / 5 angel on top. There are people smiling, they are joyful and loving faces. We eat yummy gingerbread men, very chocolate brownies and delicious chocolate chip cookies, and drink hot chocolate that is so hot it burns. I can hear ringing jingle bells, and the reindeer hooves on my roof along with laughter, and loud howling winds with Santa hollering “HO, HO, HO”. I love Christmas because of all the happy, joyful, loved faces of my family! Hannah, Grade 3 Christmas Eve These are some things that I do on Christmas eve. I always watch my favourite singer, Justin Beiber’s Christmas Concert on TV while mommy’s cooking dinner. When it is ready there’s tons of amazing finger foods on the table. After we sit down and put stuff on our plates I always start with a spicy popper, that makes your mouth explode or catch on fire because they make me do silly stuff, while I try to cool down. For dessert we have mouth-watering short bread cookies that we bake for Santa. Next we sit down with a nice holiday movie and a mug of warm hot chocolate. Then after the movie we get out some chocolate milk, short bread cookies, and my famous peanut butter cup pie with extra peanut butter drizzle. During the night we can hear the pitter patter of the reindeer hooves on the roof and the reindeer munching on carrots while Santa is drinking his milk. When I fall asleep I dream about the brightly wrapped presents under the beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Emma, Grade 3

Christmas stories Christmas Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus. Baby Jesus is God. He is God’s Son. When Mary was praying, the Angel Gabriel came and said, “Do you want to be the Mother of God's Son?” She said, “Yes.” Mary and Joseph were walking for a really long time to get to Bethlehem. When they got there, it was night and really dark. A big star shined. A cow and some sheep were in the stable when Baby Jesus was born. He was born in a stable because they went to inns, but there was no room. One innkeeper showed them a stable. The shepherds came to see Him. Lauren, Gr. 1 Jesus and Mary Mary had Baby God in Bethlehem. The Baby is
Jesus. Shepherds were watching their lambs and the sparkling angels came and said the Baby King is born in a stable. Wise men brought Him gold. Matthew, Gr. 1 Christmas is Jesus' Birthday The Angel Gabriel wanted Mary to have the Baby Jesus. Mary and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem. The journey continued. The Baby Jesus was born in a stable. The wise man offered frankincense to Jesus. Tommy, Gr. 1 Christmas Mary and Joseph asked to move in to the inn. The innkeeper said, “No. We are all filled up.” Then he noticed that Mary had a baby to be born. He said, “We have

Christmas On Christmas, you get presents under your Christmas Tree. You open your presents and you would think it is something that you really like. You celebrate because it is Jesus’ birthday. You get presents because it is God's birthday. Jesus is our gift. Daniel, Gr. 2
Jesus is Born The Angel Gabriel went to Mary and said, "You are going to have a baby." Then Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to pay their taxes. Baby Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem. Wyatt, Gr. 2 Merry Christmas One day Mary was praying by herself. Angel Gabriel appeared in front of her and the angel asked Mary, “Do you want the Son of God to be your child?” Mary was very happy. Joseph and Mary were forced to go to Bethlehem. They went to many houses to find a place to stay and then they came to a house. The innkeeper said, "I have a stable in the back. You can go and sleep in the stable with the animals." Mary was very tired that night Jesus was born. Shepherds came
to the Baby Jesus and they offered them presents. Then wise men came to give Jesus presents too. Jacob, Gr. 2 Jesus Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem. There was no room in the inn. Jesus was born in a stable. Shepherds and angels came to visit him. Bradley, Gr. 1 What Christmas Is All About One day, Mary and Joseph learned that they had to go to Bethlehem. Jesus was born. Then when the star came to rest on the Baby in the stable, they too, knelt down to worship Him. Next the wise men found the Baby with Mary and Joseph. They knelt down and offered Him their presents of gold and frankincense and myrrh. Written by JMJ and Navy, Gr. 1 >>>>>>
