Despite blips, MP Bossio stays positive BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Local MP Mike Bossio says he doesn’t want to see some negative headlines over the past few months overshadow progress that his government has made in its first full year
in power. “There are so many good things that we’ve accomplished and continue to move forward to try to accomplish in the next year,” he said in a telephone interview last week. “I’d hate to allow electoral reform (difficulties) and the ‘cash
for access’ (issue) to hijack what has happened over the last year, because there have been so many positive things that we have done as a government in the last year, from the Canada Child Benefit to the tax cut to the increase to the Guaranteed Income Supplement and the changes to Canada Pension

Lennox and Addington County archivist Kim Kerr will be hosting a pair of ancestry workshops at local libraries in the new year designed to help people trace their family’s roots. The workshops, which will be held at the Napanee Branch on Jan. 10 at 10 a.m. and the Tamworth Branch on Jan. 12 at 2 p.m., will use various census records as their primary source of research. “It’s a bit more specific
than our workshops in previous years,” said L&A County Library Services Manager Catherine Coles, who notes they’ve done a handful of genealogical workshops in the past. “You can find out so much many things from looking at a census,” said Coles. “It depends on where the census was taken, and some countries and municipalities were better than others with how much information they collected. But some you can get occupation, number of people in the household, exact address, that sort of thing.”
The first Museum Kids event of 2017 promises to offer ‘snow much fun’ for the whole family. Held on Jan. 7, crafty kids will have the opportunity to construct their own snow globe they can take home and then take part in a mystery snowflake scavenger hunt through the museum. Along the way
they’ll uncover some interesting stories and facts about various artifacts and exhibits spread throughout the museum. The event will offer a nice change of pace for families looking to unwind from the busy holidays. The fun gets underway at 10 a.m. and has no admission. For more information visit www.CountyMuseum.ca. Museum Kids is a monthly program offered at the museum, each with a different theme. They’ll be held throughout the month of June before taking a brief break for the summer.

Earlier this month, Quinte Conservation upgraded the low-water condition it declared this past summer, moving it from Level 3 to Level 2. Quinte Conservation issued the Level 3 low water advisory in the first week of August, marking a severe water shortage due to a lack of precipitation; Level 2 is a moderate shortage. “The low water conditions we are still experiencing are unprecedented for this time of year,” noted Quinte Conservation General Manager Terry Mur-

phy. “During our last low water situation in 2012, conditions had returned to normal by mid-October. There are some residents who still have wells that have not recovered. There is concern for wells that remain dry as we move into the winter months, as they may not recover until the spring.” He did say that streamflows have improved, as have groundwater levels, thanks to sporadic fall rain and recent snowfall. A Level 2 low water condition indicates a potentially serious water supply problem. It often means minor water supply issues are encountered, and there is the potential for major supply problems. Level 2 water conditions are managed through conservation authorities, municipalities and other key provincial agencies. As the low-water condition continues, Quinte Conservation advices residents and business to use water wisely until the supply has been replenished.

What your garden means to you is how proud I was when my maternal grandmother allowed me to go into the garden and pick a cucumber… I remember my grandfather, well into his 80s, hoeing his garden and telling my Dad to ‘collect all of the cow patties’ to make compost tea. Both my grandparents have been gone more than 30 years but every time I am in the garden I think of them.” Edna: “My love for garSome readers responded with reflections on their ear- dening began when my godliest experiences in the gar- mother gave me a dozen gladiolus bulbs for my 11th den: Linda: “My garden is a birthday ….. our 30 year old tribute to my grandparents. garden has changed so One of my earliest memories many times and it gives us AST month I invited my Facebook followers to answer the question: ‘What does your garden mean to you?’ The response was overwhelming with more than 50 people expressing their thoughts. Many were quite personal. As I review these responses, I reflect on the meaning that my gardening experience has to me.

It is a labour of love.” Others opened up and shared some very personal feelings and experiences: Pam: “My garden means ‘healing’ as I started to really work and create it when my eldest son died. I started a memory garden for him. Each year I planted something that reminded me of him.” Nancy: “My garden is my lifeline. Even after working all day at my ‘job’ it is so wonderful to come home and be able to spend time in my garden…. getting dirty, birdsong, wildlife, all remind me that I am truly part of this earth.” Gail: “My garden brings peace and happiness.” Judy: “My garden is a true sanctuary.

The year we were Trumped
J. Earl Morrison, Owner-Publisher, 1953-1978
When looking back at the events of 2016, nothing stands out like the victory of Donald Trump in the American presidential election. Indeed, it was his election this past November that will be the domiCombined in 1965 nating influence of 2017. with The Napanee Everything else really pales in comparison, Express (EST. 1861) doesn’t it? and The Deseronto It’s fair to say that Trump’s election has caused Post (EST. 1904) more fear and trepidation on this side of the border than anything else — although Trump does An independent seem to have a constituency here in Canada. Given Trump’s boorish behaviour (to put it mildly) community and his penchant for stoking ugly nativist sentiment, well, there’s a lot not to like. His protectionnewspaper ist bent, however — along with a pledge to reopen the North American Free Trade Agreement — is something that could do more than just offend JEAN MORRISON Canadians’ sensibilities. We’re talking about the OWNER & economy, and we’re talking about jobs. The Trump PUBLISHER administration’s policies have the potential to have a dramatic impact on Canada.

For all the concerns that Trump’s election has created, however, there’s one characteristic of the new president that, perhaps counterintuitively, should provide some comfort for Canadians: his unpredictability. The fact is, nobody really knows what President Trump is going to do when he takes office next month. We do know that, since his election in November, he’s already backed away from some of the promises he made on the campaign trail. One could hardly call the man an ideologue, and despite his rhetoric, we’re not sure he’s got any ‘agenda’ to speak of — other than he’s promised to usher in a new era of prosperity which would, presumably, rub off on the Americans’ northern neighbour.

Fiction for genealogy lovers One of the great enjoyments of genealogy is untangling the branches of your family tree and finding a previously unknown relative. This usually involves spending hours doing endless Ancestry.com searches and/or sifting through piles of documents and records. In this scenario, the genealogist is a detective. They are looking for clues, analyzing facts, deciding where to look next, making some educated guesses and, in the best cases, organizing these pieces of information in such a way that sheds light on their family history. For these reasons, I surmise that genealogists should appreciate a good mystery, specifically mysteries that focus on uncovering secrets relating to family lineage. Ranging from historical fiction to contemporary novels of family life, all of the titles below have family history mystery as a major theme. June by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore follows 25year-old Cassie, who has just returned to small-town St. Jude, Ohio following the death of her grandmother. Holed up alone in the dilapi-
Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes dated mansion she just inherited, Cassie is surprised one day to find a handsome stranger at her doorstep claiming that she has also inherited the fortune of the late legendary actor Jack Montgomery. Montgomery’s recognized daughter, a movie star in her own right, isn’t buying it and comes knocking. She wants Cassie to take a paternity test. Cassie, instead, decides to see what she can dig up about her grandmother’s possible illicit affair with Jack. Told through alternating time periods, June is a light, romantic read that blends contemporary family mystery with old school Hollywood glamour. The Rise and Fall of Great Powers by Tom Rachman follows Tooly Zylberberg, owner of a bookshop in the Welsh countryside, who spends most of her life reading. Yet there’s one tale that never made sense: her own
life. In childhood, she was spirited away from home and raised by various people in various locales across the world. But who were these people who brought her up? Whatever happened to them? And who are her real parents? Unbecoming, a Young Adult novel by British writer Jenny Downham, tells the story of a teenager whose estranged grandmother, suffering from Alzheimer’s, comes to live with her family. Katie knows nothing about her grandmother. Incidentally, neither does Grandma Mary. Together, they slowly unravel the family history that kept them apart for so long. The Imposter Bride by Nancy Richler is the story of a young, enigmatic woman who arrives in post-war Montreal and is clearly not who she claims to be. Her attempt to live out her life as Lily Azerov shatters as she disappears one day, leaving a new husband and baby daughter, and a host of unanswered questions.

Entertaining this New Year’s It’s hard to believe another year has gone by. As we look back on the year, and reminisce about the great things that have occurred, we anticipate the promise of the New Year — it’s a wonderful night to celebrate with friends and family. The most characteristically English New Year custom was that of the Watch Night vigil. People still gather together today to eat, drink, dance and play games while waiting for church bells to toll out the old year, and sing Auld Lang Syne to our friends. In the 19th century, people would hurry out at midnight with gifts of food and drink for their neighbors. Every country has its own New Year traditions, from settling old debts to drinking and singing in the streets, from bell-ringing competitions to wassailing apples trees. Doors or windows are opened to let the old year out and the new year in, and in Channel Islands a figure of Old Father Time is ceremoniously buried in the sand. In Spain, 12 grapes eaten at midnight, one for each stroke of the clock, bring good luck for the coming year. In many countries, New Year’s Day is a time for visiting and for giving presents, as it was once in England; people now tend to make resolutions about their future behavior. A lot of us will entertain a New Year’s party in our own home this year. We all want our homes to look their best for holiday entertaining, but we also want them to function optimally. The key to entertaining over the holidays and all year round is to “turn your home into a magical place people will talk about.” You don’t have to spend a lot of money

You don’t have to colourcoordinate your arrangements to your home, but look around and see what colour you think would look best. Red and green are the perennial favourites, but this year, try something new: stick to a neutral floral palette, but shake it up with colourful containers that add to your overall holiday décor. Figure out an appropriate size in relation to your tables and rooms. Multiple arrangements can look fabulous, but if they are too big, they can overpower a space. A suggestion is to have a single large arrangement that can be placed in an entranceway and three smaller arrangements that can be lined up in a row on a table. Think outside of the box for clever décor ideas. Remember the basic rule that less is often more. Have fun with your decorating, it’s suppose to be an enjoyable time. I know myself; I can’t wait till the next gathering here at my house. I love to plan the menu, and decorate the table in new stylish ways. To my readers, family and friends, may the dawn of this New Year fill your heart with new hopes; open up new horizons; and bring for your promises of brighter tomorrows. Have a wonderful year ahead. Happy New Year!

twining stories — Cumming’s fraught relationship with his father and his experience with Who Do You Think You Are?, a BBC show focused on the ancestry of celebrities and uncovering family secrets. Another non-fiction honourable mention goes to Between Gods by Alison Pick, a memoir that follows the author’s journey through her family history. As a teenager, Alison made a discovery that her Pick grandparents, who had escaped from the Czech Republic during the Second World
War, were Jewish—and that most of this side of the family had died in concentration camps. This knowledge compels her, as an adult, to consider Judaism.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago December 28, 1966 ■ A group of local children had a decidedly chilling experience while out sledding on Boxing Day. The sleigh in which the five children between the ages of four and 14 were riding broke through the ice on the Napanee River. The sleigh was being towed by a snow cruiser. The adult on the snow cruiser was able to hop through the ice, standing in water up to his waist, and hoist the children back up out of the water. The snow cruiser was hauled out of the water later that day. Luckily, no one was injured in the mishap. ■ Local MP A. Douglas Alkenbrack charged that the governing Liberal Party didn’t care about senior citizens. He made the remarks during a debate over Old Age Security amendments in the House of Commons. Alkenbrack said that, despite having worked hard all their lives, seniors were now “eking out their existence on a bare minimum”, with little money left over at the end of the month to afford anything of comfort or luxury.
35 Years Ago December 30, 1981 ■ Local emergency crews were kept busy after a 39-vehicle pileup on Highway 401 between Highway 41 and the Beechwood Road overpass. A total of 16 people were taken to hospital following the massive accident, although all had minor injuries. Only two were kept overnight for further observation, but they were released. The accident happened in the midst of snowy and freezing-rain conditions. The total damage as a result of the accident was estimated to be about $100,000. Of the 39 vehicles involved, 36 were deemed to be undrivable. ■ Napanee Deputy-Reeve Grant Clark emerged as the new vice-chairperson for the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Health Unit board’s inaugural meeting. Provincial appointee Bruce Barrett would be elected as chair. The inaugural meeting was relatively calm following what had been a turbulent period for the health unit. A recent study into the workings of the board had deemed it to be “out of control”, and that a power struggle between members of the senior staff was negatively affecting the agency.

Thursday, December 29, 2016 BOSSIO FROM PAGE 1 “If we want to change the tone of government to reach consensus with other parties and with provinces and territories, that takes time,” he said. “You’re not going to make those positive changes overnight. At the end of the day, we’re determined to try to reach consensus with the provinces and with opposition on as much as we possibly can when we’re moving our agenda forward, to try to reach that common ground.” When asked about the Liberal fundraising issue — where opposition parties have charged that cabinet ministers have given individuals privileged access in exchange for donations to the party — Bossio says it’s an issue that the government will have to address. “We’re going to have to figure this out. We’re going to have to do something. I’d be very surprised if something doesn’t happen,” he said. At the same time, however, partisan fundraising is inherently problematic, Bossio said. “The whole fundraising thing I always struggle with,” he said. “I just hate the fact that we have to fundraise at all because there’s always a stigma that goes with fundraising, politically. It’s a known fact that you have to do it, to win elections you have to have money, unfortunately. But, any time you
T H E
have to do something like that, you’re always going to be open to the charge of ‘is it ethical or unethical’. It is one that I struggle with, I really do.” He noted that the current maximum contribution is $1,500. He suggested that, for fundraising events, that could be lowered to $200. “At $200, pretty much anyone who wants to participate in a fundraiser can,” he said. Bossio also said that, if access to politicians is the issue, he said he and his fellow government members and ministers are accessible to Canadians regardless. “That is the key: is this the only way you can access somebody, if you go to a fundraiser? Nonsense. There are many different ways to access our members of parliament and our ministers and our prime minister,” Bossio said. Another headache for the governing Liberals has been its foray into electoral reform — an issue that was a plank in the Liberals’ election platform in 2015. The commitment to changing the way Canadians elect their federal governments, however, has been hampered by a lack of engagement from the public. Bossio held three electoral reform sessions in the riding this past summer. Bossio says he’s not surprised that it’s been a tough slog, in that regardless of the reform idea in question, it’s impossible to find a model
N A PA N E E
that will be universally accepted. Compounding the difficulty is the fact that, in terms of priorities, electoral reform is low on people’s list. At the same time, Bossio discounts the contention that the Liberals are engaged in electoral reform for the party’s benefit. “We had nothing to gain by going down this road,” he said. “Let’s face it, they’ve shown that every government that has brought (in) electoral reform has lost the next election. We committed to do it and we’re so committed to doing it, and we’re going to go ahead with it, even though we know that there is nothing to gain in this process. It is a very complex process. There is no silver bullet on this one.” Looking ahead to 2017, Bossio said he’ll continue to try to make rural priorities a priority for government. As chair of the Liberal Rural Caucus, he said he’s been successful at that so far. He said that group has pushed for, and secured, investments in infrastructure, digital infrastructure and rural economic development. He said the next step is to establish a ‘rural secretariat’ to consider all government policy from a rural perspective. The concept isn’t new — a rural secretariat operated from 1997 to 2013, when it was dismantled. “By reestablishing a rural secretariat, we’re able to view things… all government
decisions and programs through that rural lens, before those programs or policy decisions are made,” he said. “One of the biggest challenges that (rural caucus has) had over the first year is educating our urban counterparts on the unique challenges that exist in rural ridings,” he continued. “I don’t mean that as a criticism of government — when you think about it, it’s perfectly natural that the government would view things through an urban lens, because most of your MPs are urban. Most of your ministers are urban. Most of their staff are urban. Most of the bureaucracy is urban. So, it’s perfectly natural that they would view things through an urban lens, and that when they’re thinking about rural solutions, they shrink down urban solutions and overlay that over rural and think that would work. We know that doesn’t work at all, because the challenges in the rural area are unique and it’s something that’s completely different.”

Pirates extend Raiders losing streak; gain ground Picton just one point back of second-place Napanee following 3-2 victory on Thursday
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
hristmas couldn’t have come at a better time for the Napanee Raiders, who can use the one-week hiatus to lick their wounds following last Thursday’s 3-2 loss to the Picton Pirates. Nick Hoey scored the game winner with just over a minute left in regulation to give the hometown Pirates the victory. Twice Napanee was able to battle back and tie the game, but they never held a lead. After falling behind at the 6:25 mark of the first, Sean Robertson responded for the Raiders three and a half minutes later. Picton took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission courtesy a goal from Noah Brant. Zach Knapp-Hermer’s power-play goal late in the second was the only offense of the middle frame, and was Napanee’s last of the night. Neither side was able to generate any offense until Hooey’s late, backbreaking goal to send the Raiders home with a loss. Matt Loveys took the loss, stopping 17 of 20 Pirate shots. Picton’s Aaron Young stole the show, turning away 27 Raider shots,
C
including 10 in the third period alone to clinch the victory. Napanee will return to action tomorrow night for the first time in eight days when they welcome the Gananoque Islanders to the SPC for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. Napanee will hope the layoff will be enough to help them break out of their cold stretch. They enter tomorrow’s game on a two game losing streak, one that could just as easily be a three gamer if not for a third period rally at home against the Amherstview Jets on Dec. 9. Thursday’s victory was an important one for Picton, who now move to just a point behind the second place Raiders (32-31), though the Raiders still have three games in hand. Napanee is now 16-9 while Picton climbs to 15-12-1. The chase for the second seed, which would grant one extra home game in the first round of the playoffs between the second and third place teams, represents the closest playoff race. The Port Hope Panthers have all but sewn up the top spot at 25-0, 18 points ahead of Napanee with 15 games left to play. The Gananoque Islanders

Pirates goalie Aaron Young was just too much for the Raiders last Thursday, turning away 27 shots to help Picton steal a 3-2 victory. The Pirate netminder was particularly sharp in the third, stopping all 10 shots he faced to allow his team to score the tie-breaking goal in the final minutes. are seven back of third place at 12-14-1. Amherstview is in fifth at 8-17, nine points out of a playoff spot. The Campbellford Rebels are 0-
