“The general perception is, this is a done deal in the report. The LTAP report offers no alternatives. It offers an intertwined series of 15 projects, all of which interrelate to each other — close one school, and it affects another,” said Bryan Brown, a concerned resident from Colebrook.

‘CRAVING CHANGE’ WORKSHOP… A how-to workshop for changing your relationship with food, three-session evening workshop on Jan. 12, 19 and 26, from 6-8 p.m. Sessions take place at the Napanee and Area Community Health Centre at 26 Dundas St. W. in Napanee.

“They’re all inextricably linked… if it all doesn’t roll they want it to roll, the next phase will be more difficult,” said another resident, Wayne Goodyer. “This is certainly not a done deal, by any stretch,” said Limestone Manager of Financial Services Paul Babin. Board officials defended the originally-planned format — which involved those in attendance working in groups to discuss concerns and present them with the group — by saying that all concerns would emerge through the exercise. Ruth Bailey, LDSB Program and Accommodation Review Facilitator, explained the role of the PARC and how information is gathered at the public meetings — the format for which was recommended by the Ministry of Education. “(The PARC committee is) the conduit of information between the board and the community, and viceversa. It is their obligation to make sure that your views are recorded and make sure they are presented to the trustees as you are indicating them,” she said. Several LDSB trustees were at the meeting, including Stone Mills/Loyalist trustee Wess Garrod. While Garrod sits on the PARC committee, he is not a voting member. “I know that the group has done a tremendous amount of work in preparing for this. You’re passionate about the school, and you’re passionate about all of Stone Mills,” he told those in attendance. “Where I’m standing right now is the middle. I represent you on the board, and I’m also a member of the board. Right now, what we’re trying to do is get ourselves organized,” he continued. The majority of those in attendance, however, weren’t convinced that their comments would be reflected in the PARC’s work in a meaningful way. They argued that some of the information being presented by individual members of the group should be heard by all of those in attendance; further, they said they feared that their concerns would be watered down and ultimately ignored. “(Resisting the planned
format was) not something we necessarily wanted to do, but we were forced to do that,” said Joanne McAlpine, a Yarker resident. “It’s really important that we have an opportunity not just to sit around and write out our questions, but to be able to voice our concerns and voice our opinion and be listened to and not be an appendix in some report you’re doing.” Many of those participating promised more detailed written reports and comments would be submitted to the board for its consideration in the coming weeks. Others feared how the closure of the Yarker school — and potentially all the schools in Stone Mills, in favour of a new, larger, central school — would impact the affected communities. “If these schools go, we’re going to be really hurt,” said Stone Mills Reeve Eric Smith, who was joined by the rest of Stone Mills council at the Odessa meeting. “People aren’t going to come back to this area… It’s going to affect us big time.” “Closing the Yarker school is going to tear a gaping hole in our social fabric, and that’s the last thing I want to see,” said Eric DePoe, a Yarker resident. Many parents argued that by closing the Yarker school — along with, eventually, the other schools in Stone Mills Township, students would be confronted with longer bus rides and a diminished educational experience should their school close. Others saw the proposed school closures as a reflection of a broader trend in Ontario that’s seeing rural Ontario neglected by the Ontario government, which they argue is pushing for the closure and consolidation of schools across the province. “This is manifesting itself as yet one more aspect of the assault on rural Ontario that is being driven out of Queen’s Park,” Tamworth resident Mark Oliver told those in attendance. “I would hope that the LDSB… would push back a little bit. Give us some time. Allow them to change the funding formula. Think about what’s going on in the community at large. And, remember, we’re all working for the kids, not Queen’s Park.”

L&A Library offers fine forgiveness for food
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Getting into the spirit of Christmas, Lennox and Addington County Libraries will be forgiving late fees in exchange for donations of food. The popular Food 4 Fines program, which is now in its fourth year, will be going on at all branches throughout the month of December. Each food item donated will knock one dollar off a borrowed book’s late fee. “It’s been a well-received program, I know last year
there was 167 patrons that paid at least one fine down through the program,” said Catherine Coles, Manager of Library Services with L&A County. “We’ll redistribute the food items across the county. Some branches will give locally and some will go to the Salvation Army in (Napanee).” Coles says the Food 4 Fines model is a popular one among libraries around the holiday season. “We’re unique in that we do it for the whole month; most libraries will do it for a week or two,” said Coles. Staying in the holiday spirit, the Napanee branch
will be hosting Story Time With Santa this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The Jolly Old Elf himself will be at the library, reading some of his favourite stories. Afterwards, children will have their chance to have their picture taken with him. To close out the busy month the Napanee branch will also host another Library After Dark event for teens from 6 to 8 p.m. on Dec. 22. As the Getting Crafty theme implies, teens will have a chance to work on some crafts and perhaps put together some last minute gifts for friends and family.

Picturing Our Community
An issue of control Parents and residents in Yarker are, understandably, concerned about the prospect of losing their school — as are parents in Stone Mills, where all public schools have been identified by the Limestone District School Board as being subject to possible closure within the next 15 years. And, not surprisingly, those concerns more than came to the surface at a Pupil Accommodation Review Committee for Yarker and Odessa schools in Odessa last Thursday. As much as the meeting dealt with the potential impact of the school closure on the students and the community, it dealt with frustrations over the process itself. Despite board claims to the contrary, many expressed the fear that Yarker Family School’s closure is a ‘done deal’, as are the eventual closures of the other identified schools. How the PARC will work through the issues and determine the fate of Yarker and other schools is uncertain. But, we wonder how this all would be playing out if it took place 20 years ago. Back then, the school board functioned in a fundamentally different way; most notably, the school board levied taxes directly from the local tax base, and set its own tax rate. Now, the discussion we’re having now wouldn’t be any less contentious and controversial — the proposition of school closures and consolidation, even if it’s the ‘right decision’ (however you might define that) has been and always will be contentious and controversial. Anyone who remembers the closure of the public school in Camden East more than 30 years ago, for instance, can testify to this. But, it was still very much a local decision. While the school board relied on the provincial government for a considerable part of its annual budget, it still had control over how much revenue it was generating from the local tax base. So, conceivably, if the school board wanted to maintain a situation that was (in its view) better for its students but came with a higher price tag, it could do that. Trustees would be rewarded (or punished) at election time, depending on the wishes of ratepayers. Even under the current system, trustees still have big decisions to make — they still decide where money is allocated and how it’s spent — but these days, the provincial government ultimately controls the purse strings. Education taxes are still levied on the local tax bill, but trustees don’t have any control over that levy. However, as the province tightens its belt — and purse strings — school boards have little option but to go with the flow. If they lose grants and funding from the province, they have to find a way to operate within the financial constrictions that have been placed on it through the provincial funding formula and policy. School boards have to operate with a balanced budget. And while the decision to keep a school open or to close it is, technically, up to school board trustees, when the province controls the money, how much control do trustees really have? All this being said, even if the local school board did have greater control over revenue (taxation), it could be in exactly the same spot it is now. School boards always have, and should, try to operate as efficiently as possible; those deliberations can lead them to things like school closures and consolidations. Further, it’s important that the public be engaged in the ongoing PARC discussions for Yarker and Odessa and any future schools. But it’s hard to shake the feeling that local residents and parents aren’t driving the process when it comes to issues like these. And, given that similar frustrations have been expressed around the province — and that dissatisfaction is growing — it’s clear that this isn’t just a Limestone problem.

How to beat ‘reader’s block’ Just as most prolific writers will experience occasional bouts of writer’s block, so do passionate readers inevitably suffer from “reader’s block” from time to time. You can just picture it; there is no story that will hold your attention, the unread books are piling up on your nightstand, and all you want to do is watch Netflix. Still, you yearn for the experience of diving into a book that you don’t want to put down. So what’s the problem? Sometimes this happens when the reader feels like they are experiencing the same old story over and over again. This is a common plight of rigid readers who stick to their preferred genres, as well as with readers who absolutely loved a book and embark upon a fruitless hunt for a title that will provide an identical reading experience. My advice to these readers, if they find themselves in a slump, is not simply to try something new. Instead, carefully consider the ele-
Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes ments of appeal of the type of books you have made a habit of reading and then find them in another genre. For example, if you are a character driven reader who loves an unreliable narrator, instead of spending hours reading the countless psychological suspense novels you are now sick of, why not find your unreliable narrator in another genre entirely? NoveList, a database which the library subscribes to on your behalf, has a feature that allows you to search for books by appeal element, not just by subject matter or genre. This is a good place to start! Another reader’s block inducing pitfall is overwhelming yourself with required reading. Perhaps you belong to a book club or two too many. Or maybe you have joined a reading challenge (Goodreads, Book
Riot, Pop Sugar) that you are no longer enjoying. Or maybe you have a pile of books that a friend or family member said you must read. For some, this can be motivating. For others, it can turn reading into a burden. When something feels like homework, like something you must do, it quickly loses its charm. I know from experience that the best thing you can do in this scenario is be a quitter. If your book club is going to lose their minds because you didn’t finish (or start!) this month’s book, then maybe you should find a new book club. Yes, reading has become a social experience but it is easy to forget that it is your personal time you are investing in a book. If you are in a rut, just cut your losses. You don’t need to complete that reading challenge. Unburdening yourself of reading homework is a surefire way to reignite your interest in reading.

Things that fly in the night The following is a monthly column designed to teach local residents about the wild animals that live among us. Marilyn Kendall is writing the column for the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, a Napanee-based facility that cares for injured wildlife. Current admissions at Sandy Pines have involved large numbers of owls and bats, the first due to climate conditions, the second a seasonal occurrence. Their rehabilitation and release can be quite complicated. In the past two weeks, 12 owls have been brought in, 90 per cent of them underweight and in a weakened condition. Sue Meech believes that the recent extended drought reduced the number of mice and squirrels that depend on ground cover to survive; in turn, the owls depend on

it can be released. If it weighs less, it will be fed a diet of mealworms and taught to self-feed until it reaches its optimal weight. By this time it may be too late for release; in that case, these bats are cooled down and put into a refrigerator to hibernate, then woken up every two-to-three weeks to have their weight checked and fed again if necessary. All these bats (approximately 50 each season) are labelled as to location found so that they can be returned — as with all rehabilitated animals — to their original habitat. (While bats may not be everyone’s favourite creature, they benefit us by daily consuming their weight in flying insects, many of them mosquitoes.) As you can see, much effort goes into rehabilitation. Didn’t I say it can be complicated?
Farms and food forever Farms and Food Forever — that’s the new mission of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture as the organization embarks on its 81st year of service and support for Ontario farmers. The organization is guided by its mission statement and values — as determined by the board of directors — and 2017 marks a new course for OFA.

Students prepare for trip to Vimy This past Saturday students from NDSS sold raffle tickets for a quilt donated by Deanna Wyville of Napanee. Walmart and Home Hardware in Napanee welcomed students selling raffle tickets at their stores. The raffle was arranged with the support of the Napanee Royal Canadi-
an Legion, Branch 137. The raffle is to help raise funds for about 40 students from NDSS to attend the ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in northern France. Over 10,000 Canadian soldiers were killed or wounded in
the successful drive to take the ridge that began on April 9 and ended on April 12, 1917. NDSS students will attend and participate in ceremonies honouring Canadian soldiers next April, along with students and veterans from across Canada so that
our history is not forgotten. The students and the NDSS History Department wish to thank everyone who has helped make this trip possible.

doesn’t meet expectations by this point then they should guiltlessly move on. Some readers are stubborn, die-hard “must finish everything I start” kind of people, but these are also the people who often get caught up trying for days or weeks to get through a book they are simply not enjoying. Whether a book is a popular bestseller, beloved by peers,
a “must-read” classic, or even a title on your book club’s reading list, the only reason you should feel compelled to finish it is if the compulsion to continue reading comes naturally. This, according to Pearl, is the secret to true pleasure reading. Finally, if you are in a reading rut, consider a visit to your local library and
browse until you find something you can truly get excited about. You’ll also discover plenty of reading suggestions by visiting our website at CountyLibrary.ca and by liking us on Facebook (Facebook.com/LandALibrary). Catherine Coles is the Manager of Library Services for Lennox and Addington County.
In a similar vein, you may find it helpful to subscribe to Nancy Pearl’s Rule of 50. Nancy Pearl, dubbed “the world’s most famous librarian,” has written and lectured on several occasions about her approach to reading enjoyment: a reader should give a book 50 pages to captivate them and if it

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago December 7, 1966 ■ There were some new faces added to local municipal councils following the latest round of elections. In Napanee, former mayor Glenn Herrington emerged on top of a three-way race for the position of reeve, beating out councillor Ernest Marshall and former councillor Grant Clark for the job. Former Camden East Township reeve T. Nelson Kennedy made a political comeback of sorts, collecting the most votes for the deputy-reeve post in the township. Joseph Shelley was successfully re-elected to the reeve’s job in Adolphustown Township. ■ Harry Benn was leaving the Napanee Police Service. Earlier in the year, Benn had stepped down as chief of the force to take a job as a constable. However, in December, Benn handed in his resignation from the force altogether. W.R. Douglas, the deputy-reeve and chair of the policing committee, said he was shocked to receive the resignation. Benn, who had been with the force for 16 years as chief, declined to comment on why he resigned or his plans for the future.
35 Years Ago December 9, 1981 ■ The Town of Napanee was considering the construction of a new police station for the municipality. The new station would be situated next to the present fire hall on Market Square. The proposal was part of a three-point package presented to council. As well as the new building, the town’s police committee proposed the hiring of a new police constable and the installation of a centralized dispatch system. Not all council members welcomed the suggestion. Councillor Cummings Daverne said council should be looking to reduce costs associated with policing, not expand them. ■ Construction of the new J.J. O’Neill Roman Catholic Separate School in Napanee was expected to begin in 1983. That announcement was made at the inaugural meeting of the Frontenac-Lennox and Addington Roman Catholic Separate School Board, which took place at the Campbell House in Napanee. The school actually began operation in 1977 in a six-unit portable facility. By 1981, the school had expanded to nine portables with almost 160 students.

Anti-smoking contest offers teens cash for quitting
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Young adults will have extra incentive to butt out their cigarettes in 2017 as Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Public Health has partnered with the province to offer cash prizes to quit, cut back or remain smoke free. The contest, known as Wouldurather, offers four categories for Ontario residents aged 18-29. They consist of quitting for good, cutting their daily smoke intake by half, reducing the amount of social smoking they do or pledging to remain smoke free. The top prize for someone who quits is up to $5,000 in cash. Those that cutback their tobacco use by up to 50 per cent could win $2,000, those that party without smoking have a shot at $1,000 while those who pledge to never start could win $500. The winner would be subject to a test to ensure they have remained smoke free from
Jan. 23 to March 5. “It gives young adults in Ontario an easy way to cut back or reduce their use of tobacco or not start at all,” said Nicole Szumlanski, an RN with KFL&A Public Health. Once contestants sign up they will receive support emails tailored towards their goals throughout the sixweek contest period and could also be eligible for nicotine support products from the Ontario Government through www.LeaveThePackBehind.org. They’re also encouraged to join with a buddy to help push each other to give up the habit. “It’s all about making an attempt to quit knowing that young adults have been proven to have slightly higher smoking rates than adults because of the situations they’re in with peer pressure and social activities,” said Szumlanski. “A contest is one way we know that reaches them because of the incentive that they can win if they choose to quit.”
Szumlanski says despite the well-publicized research outlining the dangers of smoking long-term, young adults continue to light up. That’s why the contest is geared towards the 18-29 age range. “That’s about the age that research has shown that if they don’t start by that age, they have less of a risk of becoming long-term smokers,” said Szumlanski. Last year, more than 8,600 young adults throughout the province entered the Wouldurather contest with almost 20 per cent of 1,850 who pledged to quit reporting they continued to be smoke free. “It’s been wellresearched to look at what works for young adults and it’s reaching out to them,” Szumlanski said of the contest which has been held in Ontario since 2000 and in the Kingston area since 2013. Early bird registration is ongoing for the contest, which offers contestants the chance to win an extra $500 if they sign up before Dec.
31. Full registration will run from Jan. 1 to 22 with the contest running from Jan. 23 to March 5. Registration can be done online at www.WouldURather.ca. The winner will be
announced in March. Though the money could be an extra little push to give up smoking, Szumlanski says ultimately its up to the individual to really want to quit. She also cautions
that it’s not always easy to butt out for good and that perseverance is key. It can often take several attempts but the long term health benefits make it more than worth the effort.

Fundraiser helps NDSS students with Vimy trip
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
One-hundred years ago, many local young people made their way to France to fight in the First World War. A century later, young people are once again preparing to make the trip, although for an altogether different purpose. Next April, a group of 42 students from NDSS — along with some teachers and parents — will travel overseas to participate in the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which took place from April 9-12, 1917. Those students are already preparing for the trip. On Saturday, they were at Home Hardware and Walmart in Napanee, selling raffle tickets for a handmade quilt. Proceeds from the raffle will go toward paying for some of the expenses relating to the trip.
Deanna Wyville, who stitched the poppy-andmaple-leaf-themed piece, said she spent more than 200 hours sewing the quilt. The draw for the quilt will take place on Feb. 27 next year at a fundraising chili lunch for the trip at the Napanee Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137, said NDSS teacher and trip organizer Francine LeBlanc. The NDSS students will be joined by hundreds of other Canadian students in participating in the centennial memorial. LeBlanc says the students will have a full three days related to the Vimy 100th, participating in all kinds of activities. “We’re just in the process of confirming all that,” she said. Among those activities include researching one of the soldiers who fought and died at Vimy; the students will get a chance to visit their soldiers’ memorial marker during the trip, said LeBlanc.

Shopping Party returns downtown BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Shoppers that like to leave things to the last minute need not fear, they’ll have plenty of opportunity to cross names off their list during the Dec. 16 Downtown Shopping Party. Running from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Napanee’s downtown core, the night will feature carollers, horse drawn wagon rides, reindeer, prizes, discounts and, of course, Santa himself. More than 30 downtown shops will be taking part, each offering an assortment of goodies in exchange for a donation of food items from shoppers. “The purpose of the event is to promote the downtown and give back to the community,” said Starlet owner and Downtown Shopping Party organizer Cat Monster. “There’s a strong emphasis on collecting food donations. Every participating business will be collecting food donations for the local food drive.” Each business will be holding their own promotion, such as trading discounts for food donations. “Santa Claus is actually going to be at Chill from 6-8 p.m. for photos with Becky

Jefta and Cat Monster of Starlet say that the Downtown Shopping Party has grown steadily over the better part of the last decade. The ninth Shopping Party takes place on the night of Dec. 16. Hinch photography,” said Monster. “From 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. he’ll be walking around the downtown to say hello to everybody.” The Shopping Party, which is now entering its ninth year, has become an established tradition among both local shoppers and those from out of town. Monster says it has grown steadily over the years due to great support from her fellow
small business owners. It’s also been strengthened by the fact that the downtown is as vibrant now as it has been in years with new businesses popping up every year, while others have built a solid reputation and customer base. Fortunately over the years the event has, for the most part, been blessed with great weather. Monster is hoping that trend will continue in 2016 with perhaps
just a light dusting of snow prior to the event to help get shoppers into the holiday spirit. Monster says the big bright lights have served as the perfect compliment to the event, which has also been a huge draw for out of town shoppers to visit Napanee.

be more than eight hours until breakfast. The typical fear of the consequences for stepping out of line in those days was evident when he feared he might be caught if he sneaked down to raid the fridge. But he took the chance. After enjoying his snack he decided to “hide” the evidence of his transgression, stepped outside, and threw the apple core onto a vacant lot across the street. But, uh oh, The door locked behind him. He tried every window and door, but
all were locked — with the exception of his own bedroom window which he knew was not. Realizing he would “never hear the end of it” if he disturbed any of his family in order to get inside, he started off for Homer’s to try to find a ladder. In typical fashion he attempted to arouse his buddy by tossing pebbles at his window. In this the case the window was open so it became a very direct contact. Homer was not impressed, but amidst much grumbling he helped Henry
carry the Browns’ ladder down the street. Grateful to be safe from prosecution, our hero climbed through the window, and into bed! But wait! Homer could be heard yelling from the ground, reminding is pal it also took two to carry the ladder back. Reluctantly Henry propped the front door open so he could get back in, and off to the Browns’ they trotted. In the meantime Mrs. Aldrich was sure she “heard a noise”. Sam investigated,
found the door ajar, and called the police. Guess who was caught trying to get back in — since the door is locked once again. Off to Homer’s house again, this time to escape the law! Henry asked to wait in the garage until the police have gone — and both boys fell asleep. In the morning Homer’s dad rushed in to get his car, and fell over the ladder. The fallout from all this — with “lots of explaining to do” — is too complicated to tell. Oh to be young again!
Dear Friend:
As the Christmas season approaches, it is my privilege to invite you to partner with The Salvation Army to make a memorable Christmas celebration for those in need, by giving a contribution to the 2016 Christmas Appeal.
Because of last year’s generous donors, The Salvation Army was able to assist numerous families, helping them maintain a sense of dignity and providing hope in seemingly hopeless situations.
Poverty is no respecter of persons, and your 2016 gift will make the difference to someone this Christmas and into the coming year.
In the midst of all busyness of the Christmas season, please take a moment to make a donation and experience the joy that comes with helping others.
Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year

Promise me a rose garden the park behind her house – a park that is an extension of her back yard. “We bought our home FOR the backyard and access to the park.” exclaimed Kim, the blogging mom. The person who made the call was legitimately concerned for the safety and well-being of the child and accused the mom of being negligent. The question that begs asking is, “at what point are we best to let kids explore nature unfettered by adult intervention?” I, for one, do not have the answer. But I do know that kids need the experience of discovering the wonders that only nature can bring. I am not advocating for irresponsible parenting. I am merely pointing out that there are benefits to letting kids explore the world outside of four walls and away from computers and without limiting interventions by adults.
I have only been hospitalized once in my adult life. I spent a couple of days in Toronto East General (now the Michael Garron Hospital) three-and-a-half years ago recovering from radical prostate surgery. It was the first time as an adult that I had the experience of hospitalization and I understand now why so many people just want to go home. Perhaps, with a measure of luck, there are windows at home.
Mark Cullen The Green File There was a window in my hospital room, I have to admit. It looked out over a bank of air conditioners that whirred on end and if I looked over the horizon of the HVAC units I could see a street lined with trees. There was one tree that stood out for me, not for any particular reason except that it was big enough for me to see from a distance. Its dominance of the horizon impressed me and I focused on it as I struggled with the pain of a substantial incision. I would It’s important for children look at that tree and reflect on the time I would spend surgery. In those days a gall appreciating trees more bladder patient would need deeply when I was released. a week to two weeks recovery in the hospital. AccordPlants = shorter hospital ing to Adam Alter, the hospital had views of a brick wall stays It turns out that I am on one side and on the other, not unique in this regard.

to explore and play in the natural world. You are likely way ahead of me on this and already have guessed that the view of the trees produced positive results. Those who looked out onto the brick wall needed, on average, a full day more to recover. Consider the math on this and let us assume that each of the patients stayed for a full two weeks. The
‘brick wall’ patients stayed for one extra day. Fourteen days vs. 15 = seven per cent longer. The study goes on to reveal that, by some measures, patients who gazed out at a natural scene were four times better off than those who faced a wall. Since this study took place at Paoli Memorial Hospital, myriad other

studies have proven the same basic principle: we need nature. She heals us and helps us to focus. Kids and Plants Where kids are concerned, a whole new genre of study and thinking has emerged that supports the concept of ‘free-range kids’. If you visit the website by the same name (www.freerangekids.com) you will discover a whole new world to bring up your kids… or grandkids. The contributor, Lenore Skenazy, believes that kids are safer and smarter than our culture gives them credit for. In her business as a ‘super nanny’ she advises parents on her innovative methods of child rearing. In a recent post on Lenore’s website, a Georgia mom posted that three police officers knocked on her door: a neighbour had reported that a four-and-ahalf year old was playing in
Forest Bathing When I am old and not able to get places under my own power, I hope that someone will wheel me down to the front door of the senior’s home to catch a bus to a nearby forest. The Japanese have been doing this for generations and it is a growing trend today. Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, requires patients to walk or just sit in a densely wooded forest for extended periods of time. Compared to people who walk through urban areas, forest bathers experience lower blood pressure, lower pulse rates and lower cortisol levels, a marker for reduced stress. Experiences with Mother Nature do not provide the perfect upbringing for kids, a process for aging or for hospital recovery periods. But she sure can help.

Paradmedics Tackle Hunger
Healthy diet costing more: health unit Beaver Staff According to Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Public Health, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming more expensive for residents living in this area to eat healthy. Every year, KFL&A Public Health surveys grocery stores within L&A and Frontenac Counties, using the Nutritious Food Basket survey to determine the cost of a healthy food basket for both individuals and families. Based on results from the 2016 Nutritious Food Basket survey, KFL&A Public Health says the cost of eating healthily per month for a family household of four (two adults, two children), is approximately $902. This amount is an increase of $21 over the cost for an equivalent basket in 2015. The health unit says it is becoming even more difficult for families on fixed or low incomes to have access to the nutritious food that people need to thrive. KFL&A Public Health says community organizations, stakeholders and the public use the results of the survey for educational purposes, program planning and informing policy decisions that will support access to healthy, safe, and affordable food. The Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care monitors the nutritious food basket costs over time, looking at the provincial average cost of the basket annually. KFL&A Public Health says supports healthy food access for everyone within our communities by engaging in initiatives and partnerships such as: Food for You, Food for Two, Food Policy Council for KFL&A, Food Sharing project, Good Food Box Kingston, and the Healthy Babies Healthy Children program. The full Cost of Eating Healthy Report, including full details of the cost of eating healthy based on household size and income, is available at www.kflaph.ca/costofeatinghealthy.

Raiders extend standings lead over Islanders Two-game streak for Napanee BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
ike a car’s engine on a cold winter’s morning, the Napanee Raiders took a few minutes to warm up before really rolling, eventually erupting for 15 combined goals in a pair of weekend wins. In both games they scored just one goal in the opening period before potting four in the second period. On Friday they trounced the still winless Campbellford Rebels 8-1 at home before hitting the road for an important 7-4 victory over the Gananoque Islanders. On Sunday Curtis Marrison jump started the Raiders just over two minutes into the game with a Adam Prudhomme-Staff quick strike.

Gananoque made things interesting with two quick goals to start the third before Tim Morton responded for Napanee. Each team would add one more to close out the game, including an empty netter by Maracle to secure the hat-trick and post a crucial insurance marker in the 7-4 victory. Jeremy Wasson earned the win with 33 saves while Nick Kidd took the loss on 37 saves. Friday’s game had less drama. Sean Robertson had the game’s first goal within the five minute mark. After a quiet rest of the period the Raiders roared to life with four goals in the second with a pair from Riley Steeves and one each from Boulard and Ignazzitto.

Novice Stars capture Regional Silver Stick Team qualifies for International SS in Michigan Beaver Sports n Sunday the TI Flooring Novice Stars clinched the Regional Silver Stick Championship, besting Stittsville 4-1 in the tournament finals. Going undefeated in the round robin, the Stars met Stittsville in the finals for their second face-off in the tournament. The game was a tight 21 until well into the second period. Napanee’s dominant team play and puck movement paid off with a 41 victory. “The kids came together and played as a team with four different goal scorers in the final game,” said Stars coach Bob McCaw. “They played well, improving with
O
each game they played.” They began their tournament, which was held in Northumberland, on Friday opening with a 1-1 tie against Kingston. Saturday morning they faced Stittsville for the first time, battling to a 3-3 draw. Saturday afternoon the Stars achieved their first win of the tournament, an 82 rout versus Cumberland. This left the Stars in second place, setting up a rematch with Cumberland Sunday morning in the semifinal game. The Stars played hard, winning 2-0, and headed off to the finals to face Stittsville again. With the regional win the Stars have punched their ticket to St. Clair Shores, Michigan for the International Silver Stick Jan. 20-22. A fundraising spaghetti dinner will be held at Crabby Joe’s on Jan. 9. Tickets are $10 a person and can be purchased from Marcia Godfrey 613-7703359.

NDCC travels to Gananoque for friendly BY SANDY EASTLAKE On the Button
A quartet of NDCC teams braved the weather to take part in a friendly in Gananoque late last month. The weatherman had dumped his first major storm of the season on the area, and organizers had discussed long and hard about going ahead with this
event. All curlers from both clubs arrived unscathed, and welcomed with hot coffee and treats. Competitive games followed. The Napanee clubs led by Bonita Murphy, Frank Dunham, Doug Pennell and Robert Hough, posted a record of one win, one tie and two losses for the teams. Napanee also had two
teams of men enter the annual Rocking Horse Bonspiel held every year at the Garrison Curling Club. Walter Genereux, Doug Pennell, Dave Van Vlack and Phil Berry came fourth in their division while Ray Snider, Daryl Lalonde, Andy Palmer and Allan Wrigglesworth had good games. The semi annual general meeting held last Sunday
was a great disappointment for NDCC’s board of directors as only 12 curlers attended. The meeting was not called to order for the conduction of business as per the club’s bylaw it takes 15 to make a quorum. Thanks to convenor Shelley Alkenbrack the club is again holding a Christmas food donation at the club.

Devon King chipped in with two more in the third while Boulard had another. The Rebels didn’t break onto the scoreboard until the 13:21 mark of the third, cutting the Raiders’ lead to 8-1. Wasson recorded the win, seeing just 16 shots the entire game while his teammates fired 44 pucks at the Rebels’ Dryden Bedard. “They had a couple of chances and a couple of odd man rushes so we had to tighten up,” Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick said of the Rebels. “They’ve had a
lot of close games with opponents lately and I reminded the guys of that. We need to play hard and move pucks and for the most part we did. It’s nice to get the two points and move on from there.” Following their two wins this weekend the Raiders have opened up a five point lead over second place Picton. “It’s a big game,” Hartwick said heading into Sunday’s game with the Islanders, who were just five points back at the time. “Gananoque is really close to Picton right now for third
and fourth in our league, they’re hungry.” The Raiders are now 157 on the season with 30 points, good for second in the league. Picton is third at 12-11-1 with 25 points, though have two fewer games left to play than do the Raiders. The Islanders are 11-11-1 with 23 points, with one fewer game left than the Raiders. Amherstview is outside the playoff picture in fifth at 6-15, with just 12 points. The Rebels meanwhile have officially reached the halfway mark of the season and are still yet to record a victory at 0-
20. At the opposite end of the standings are the first place Port Hope Panthers, who remain perfect at 20-0 and are 10 points up on Napanee. The Raiders will play their final home game before the Christmas break tomorrow when they welcome the Jets to the SPC for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. That game is the Raiders’ annual teddy bear toss game, with fans encouraged to hurl new stuffed toys onto the ice following Napanee’s first goal of the game. The toys will be donated to the local toy drive.

Atom BB exact revenge on Blackhawks Perfect start for NDSS hockey Beaver Sports
The Calderwood Automation Atom BB Napanee Stars took their game on the road to Gananoque last Thursday. After three periods of excellent play and more than 40 shots on net, they were saddled with a disappointing 2-1 loss to the Islanders. The lone Napanee goal was scored by Dylan Kemp. The next morning the team would hit the road to Midland for their Regional Silver Stick competition. Friday evening pitted them against a dominant Barrie Colts, where Duncan Clarke would score their only goal in their 5-1 loss. Saturday morning’s game against the Dundas Blues was again a challenging match. Anthony Nugent would score the
Stars’ goal in their 8-1 loss. Their final game Saturday evening matched the Stars against their rivals, the Collingwood Blackhawks. The Blackhawks ousted the Stars last year from the OMHA semifinals, so the boys were eager for a rematch. With Aiden Vallier dominant in net, and two goals coming from Caleb South, the Stars would win with a 2-1 final. ■ The Peewee AE Stars were stellar this past weekend adding six more points to their league score with three wins in three games. On Friday the Stars visited the Stirling Blues and walked away with a score of 9-1. Scoring for Napanee were Ben Huyck (two), Austin Catena (two), Scott Collard, Caleb Justason, Aiden Haller-Brady (two)
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK MACEY BAILEY
Macey Bailey is a member of the NDSS Golden Hawks junior girls volleyball team. In Tuesday’s KASSAA season opener she turned in a strong performance, helping to ignite the offense against the Ernestown Eagles. The team will look to her to help provide plenty of ace serves and blocks during the upcoming season.

and Luc Amat. Assists went to Branson LevequePrice (three), Bailey Cook-Martin (two), Haller-Brady, Justason (two), William Peterson, Jake Wood and Scott Collard. Holden Breault stood tall for the Stars in net. The next day the Stars welcomed the Blues to the SPC for a re-match. With team work and efficiency, the Stars controlled the game from start to finish earning a second consecutive win, with a final score of 6-0. Nathaniel Cinnamon earned the shutout. Catena was the first Star to find the back of the Blue’s net, within the first two minutes of the game. Haller-Brady, LevequePrice, Wood and Amat followed up with four more in the second and Mitchell Charlebois earned the sixth goal in the third. Assists were shared amongst Elijah Chadwick, Haller-Brady, Justason, Amat (three) and Cook-Martin(2). Sunday the Stars took their show back on the road, this time to the Hamlet of Ennismore to face the Eagles. The first period saw end to end play as the teams exchanged goals. Jake Vanberkel struck first unassisted, with a straight shot through a crowd of players from just inside the blue line, busting through the Eagle goalie’s five hole. Catena struck next with the assistance of Amat. The Eagles fired back with two strikes to the Star’s net tieing up the game. After a bit of back and fourth the Stars went on a run, rolling to a 10-3 win. Scoring for the Stars were Catena (four), Vanberkel, Amat, Haller-Brady (three) and Huyck. Assists went to Amat (two) and Leveque-Price. With his glove hand working overtime, and the Eagles out shooting the Stars in the second period, Breault was brilliant in net to earn the win. Special mention goes to Amat who showed exceptional sportsmanship when he stopped mid play to hand an Eagles player his stick back mid play after he had fumbled it.
Offense clicking for boys and girls teams BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Cruising for most of the game, the NDSS Golden Hawks boys hockey had to weather a patch of rough seas en route to a 7-3 victory over the visiting La Salle Black Knights in Monday’s KASSAA season opener. Liam Wilkerson opened the scoring for Napanee, starting a string of four unanswered goals for the home side. Ryan Kirkpatrick had one while Nelson Powers chipped in with a pair to build a seemingly comfortable 4-0 lead heading into the final break. Powers’ second goal was the only tally of the second period, coming after he gobbled up his own rebound on a break away attempt. He made good with his second shot, beating the Black Knights’ keeper. Down but not out the Black Knights began to mount a rally in the third, scoring on a 5-on-3 power play. On that same powerplay NDSS’ Jake Wales blocked a shot just inside his own zone, took control of the puck and raced down to the other end and roofed the puck passed the La Salle goalie for a short-handed goal. Wales’ goal did little to break La Salle’s spirit however as they fought back with two quick goals to make it 5-3. Kier Doyle and Wales would add two important insurance goals to squash the comeback attempt. Golden Hawks’ goalie Seth Lee was strong when he needed to be, turning away a couple of break away attempts to slow La Salle’s offense long enough to clinch the victory. “Seth played really well, it was the best game I’d ever seen him play,” Hawks head coach Jeff Birchard said of his goalie, who is in his second year with the team. He served as the third string goalie in his rookie year but is now the team’s number

NDSS’ Corbin Gibson watches as a puck deflects off the La Salle goalie towards the rafters during Monday’s KASSAA season opener. one. Opting for a little bit of a different tactic this year, the coaching staff rolled with three lines for this game as opposed to their usual four. While it did create more offense early on, it may have accounted for their rocky finish as they approached the finish line. Coming off a strong 2015-16 season that saw them finish second overall before an early quarterfinals exit, the Hawks return many key players. Prior to Monday’s season opener they took part in KCVI’s annual pre-season tournament last Thursday at the Invista Centre, going 2-2. “The two gams we lost it was 2-1 in the shootout and the other was 2-1,” said Birchard. “Even the games we lost were good ones.” They will however be in tough this year as they have made the jump to a AAA school due to their enrolment numbers, meaning they’ll face stiffer competition to qualify for the players. They’ll find out real quick how they stack up as they’ll face the Regi Panthers next Wednesday followed by Holy Cross on Dec. 20.
“It’ll be a good game, Regi always has a good team, they’ve given us some good gos over the last few years,” said Birchard. “Two weeks from now we play Holy Cross in Kingston. That’ll be a tough one. That could decide our whole season right there.” While the boys were at home Monday, NDSS’ girls hockey team hit the road to face the KCVI Blues for their season opener. Their offense showed no offseason rust, pumping out plenty of goals in a 7-0 victory. Veterans Kianna Lovelace and Olivia Fenwick each had two goals while Ray West had one. Rookies Maddy Wheeler and Maddy Cronkwright had a debut to remember, scoring in their first KASSAA games. Sara Kennedy and Maddie Burgess shared goaltending duties for the shutout. The lady Hawks had their home opener yesterday afternoon against La Salle. Results weren’t known at press time. The girls hockey team will be looking to go one step further this year after losing to Holy Cross in last February’s KASSAA finals in a 1-0 shootout for the third straight year.

GRAHAM, Evelyn (nee Fraser)
With great sadness and loving hearts, the family announces the peaceful passing of Evelyn Graham (nee Fraser), in her 95th year, at Moncton Hospital, December 2, 2016. Evelyn was predeceased by her beloved husband Johnny and son Kim, also by sons-in-law Ashur Rombough and Barry Woods. She will be greatly missed by her daughters Barbara Rombough, Moncton and Mary Woods (Gary Owen), Roblin, ON, her daughterin-law Marilyn Graham, Chipman and by her seven grandchildren Christopher Rombough, WindJen Rombough, Norah Brien, Kate Lee, Stephen Woods, Janna Graham, Rebecca Graham, as well as thirteen great-grandchildren. She will be lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews and countless friends. Evelyn had a long and happy life, filled with much love, laughter and adventures. During her lifetime she resided many places, from the east coast to the west coast, but her heart was always in her beloved Gaspereau, NB, where she and Johnny spent many happy years after retirement. She had several careers, and together with Johnny, she ran a service station and lunch bar, and later a restaurant. In her mid-forties she returned to school to complete the training she began at the age of eighteen, and at age forty-eight, graduated as a Registered Nurse, a wonderful accomplishment. She was a much respected nurse in hospitals in Ontario and New Brunswick. She was always interested in other people's stories and had the ability to make lifelong friends wherever she went. She had many interests in life, was an avid reader, kept up to date on current events and loved discussing politics. One of her pastimes was quilting. Over the years she produced many beautiful quilts, which are now the cherished possessions of her family. Evelyn was known for her wonderful sense of humour and her joy of life. This, combined with her deep love of family has left a legacy of love and laughter, a treasure trove of beautiful memories. In accordance with Evelyn's wishes, cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Heartfelt thanks from the family to the staff of Autumn Lee Retirement home for their loving care for Mom over the past three years.

Top holiday décor trends for a designer look (NC) Holiday decorating should be more than something to scratch off your to-do list. Inspire your creativity before you deck your halls with these tips for a stylish home this season. Embrace nature. Just because you want a more polished aesthetic doesn't mean the kids can't be involved. Recruit them to help you gather acorns, pine branches, or twigs to create a rustic DIY vibe that even the littlest ones can easily help achieve. Place earthy touches in mason jars, hurricane vases, or lanterns for effortless style. For extra oomph, tie twigs with festive ribbon or add a cloves for subtle holiday fragrance. Colour theory. Make an elegant statement by sticking to a reduced palette of colours that won't overwhelm, combining with neutrals to suit your style. Try mixing a deep, rich red with industrial metals or cool winter blues with cozy cream fabrics. Marvelous mixes. Perfect matching is a recipe for a dated look, so be sure to complement hard with soft, vintage with modern, and classic with contemporary. For example, set cutesy old fashioned ornaments in unconventional spots, like on top of a stack of books on a shelf. Wrap scraps of traditional seasonal fabrics like plaids around block candles, or draw or screen print holiday designs on wood slices. At the window. You'll want to let in lots of natural light during the precious few hours you can at this time of year, so opt for a window treatment that emphasizes brightness. Transform harsh exterior light by diffusing it with these stylish sheer fabrics, spreading it evenly throughout your room so you can maximize daylight hours and reduce your need for artificial light.

On the table. For a Pinterest-worthy table setting, keep lines clean and simple and subtly incorporate your seasonal décor and colour scheme throughout. Use existing fabrics to create custom-made napkin holders or placemats. For a gorgeous centrepiece, mix one-part silver and three-parts white glitter to give pine cones or glass ornaments a sparkly frost-kissed look. Show them off in in a vase, cake stand, or favourite dish at the centre of the table.
