the house where the family will be staying once they arrive, and it’s close to tracking down any missing pieces. “We’ve got medical support lined up. We’ve been talking to the school board. We have transportation all ready for Thursday morning to pick the family up. We have a work schedule so we understand when volunteers are coming and going. It’s kind of a work in progress,” Robertson said.
Greater Napanee council discussed stepping in to assist the Taxation Policy Review Committee in acquiring information but ultimately decided not to intervene in the committee’s deliberations. Council discussed the taxation committee’s minutes during its regular council meeting Tuesday. Ward 1 Councillor Mike Schenk suggested council assist the committee to ensure it has all the information it needs. In reviewing the Jan. 5 Taxation Policy Review Committee’s minutes, chair Gary Scandlan wrote that, “It was noted that location information for the offense may not reflect the residency of the individuals.” At the last taxation meeting, held on Feb. 2, the committee was told it would not be able to have access to information it requested; specifically, where OPP calls are made and how often OPP are requested or patrol each area. “I would hate to have them go through the whole process and get to the end and go to a public meeting and the general public asks the committee, ‘Did you get all the information that was required to make an informed decision?’ and they say, ‘No, we didn’t. Our major one, policing, which is the highest cost, we couldn’t get enough information,’” Schenk explained.

The wait is over for a family of six Syrian refugees looking to start a new life in Napanee. The father, mother and their children — two boys and two girls, all between the ages of five and 12 — will arrive in Napanee today. Their plane arrived in Toronto last night; the Lennox and Addington Refugee Group Enthusiasts, a group of local volunteers
sponsoring the family, will pick them up in Toronto this morning. Marcus Robertson, a core member of LARGE, says that the group got the call early Monday evening that the family would be arriving in Canada today. Although the group has spent months preparing to host a family of refugees, it still had to scramble to make sure all pieces were in place to welcome them with barely three days notice. Luckily, the group had just moved much of the furniture into

during a town hall-style meeting that was organized by the bank. The purpose was to answer questions and provide some clarification on what customers could expect from the bank going forward as they merged their operation with the branch in Napanee, which will take place Aug. 12. CIBC is currently the only bank in Deseronto. “Unfortunately, the Deseronto branch has experienced low and increasingly lower business volumes for many years now,” Jon Kastikainen, CIBC Senior Manager, Stakeholder Communications and Public Affairs told the audience. “Because we do understand the importance of a business banking centre in town, we have put off the decision to close for quite a period of time. But unfortunately things are just at a point now where we’re not able to operate the Deseronto banking centre at its current location.” Accounts currently at the Deseronto branch will automatically be transferred to the Napanee branch unless customers state they’d like them to go elsewhere. Kastikainen suggested that customers use the time between now and August to visit the branch and meet with a teller to
discuss their individual needs. Several of the audience members voiced their displeasure at the news. With a good portion of the crowd in the senior citizen demographic, the issue of transportation was brought up. To that, Kastikainen suggested they meet with a teller to discuss online and phone banking options as well as pointing out that some businesses in town offer a cash-back option. That answer did little to appease some of the more vocal audience members. Those hoping a large turnout would perhaps sway the bank’s decision to close were offered little hope. “When it comes to the branch, there’s nothing that we can do,” said Kastikainen, reiterating several times throughout the evening that the decision was final. That didn’t sit well with several audience members who interrupted Kastikainen a couple of times, shouting things such as “baloney” and “why did we come here tonight?” when told they had no course of action to reverse the decision. Several audience members expressed frustration and confusion as to the point of the meeting as they

thought it would serve as a chance for them to plead their case as to why the bank should stay, much as the town did some 25 years earlier when faced with a similar situation. Instead, they were told that the decision to close had been made long before Thursday’s meeting. After initially stating that installing an automatic teller machine wouldn’t be feasible, Kastikainen offered some hope when two local business owners at the meeting expressed interest in housing a machine. “If there’s a business that is secure enough and it makes logistical sense, that is something I might be able to take a look at,” said Kastikainen. “It would allow folks to get cash if they need it. This is depending if we could find a location that is secure enough.” That comment did generate a generally favourable response from the audience, earning a short round of applause. He said he’d meet with those businesses owners and would explore the option with CIBC’s head office. Also earning a positive response was the fact that the employees of the Deseronto bank were given “options” if they wanted to continue to work for the company, given the choice to transfer to another nearby branch be in Napanee or Belleville. When the floor was turned over to residents who wanted to ask questions, many of them shared the same points, asking how seniors with limited mobility were going to continue to do their banking and what this could mean for the Main Street businesses who might lose customers to
Napanee. “I agree with probably 99 per cent of the people here,” said Deseronto Mayor Norm Clark. “We heard the news (of the bank’s closing) in December which was a complete shock to us. We had no inkling this was going to happen whatsoever. The Deseronto CIBC, from what I can find out, has been in Deseronto for 75 years. It’s the heart and soul… as a councillor and being on council, I have to say the dealings with the CIBC have been extremely good over the years. For CIBC to come now and say they’re closing its doors, I just don’t understand to be quite honest. I don’t think closing is going to make much difference in the profit for the CIBC over the course of the year.” Clark also made reference to a survey that he submitted to the panel which indicated 95 per cent of residents who filled it out would like the bank to stay in town. Kastikainen said he would take the comments offered during Thursday’s meeting back to the CIBC’s head offices in Toronto, but also cautioned that they wouldn’t have any sway in the decision to close the branch. The impending Deseronto CIBC branch closure would follow in the footsteps of some of Canada’s other large banking institutions which have closed its doors in rural communities across eastern Ontario in recent years. Last year, a TD Bank in Marmora closed its doors after 100 years in operation, merging with a branch in Havelock. In 2013, Scotiabank announced it would close branches in Maxville, St. Isidore and Avonmore.

Memorial Cross Presented
Small tax hike likely for 2016 BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
After preliminary discussions, Greater Napanee council is moving toward a 2.47 per cent tax increase in 2016. Council held a special session of council last Thursday for the purpose of discussing the 2016 budget. The meeting included a comparison of the 2015 actual and 2016 proposed budget, an overview of proposed tax levy changes, and details on grants and funding. The meeting focused on the operating budget, which came in at a tax levy increase of 1.89 per cent, or $195,470. Combined with the projected capital budget, that number rose to $270,470, resulting in a 2.47 per cent proposed increase. “The operating budget currently sits at 1.9 per cent. Staff has taken very seriously council’s direction to strive for zero per cent and we’ve done that in many areas. There has been
some reduction in costs but there’s also been some reduction in revenues coming in to the budget,” said Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery at the start of the budget meeting. Greater Napanee Treasurer and Director of Finance, Mark Day, said a reduction in grants has resulted in the projected tax increase. “There’s a reduction in the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund grant of $145,000 from 2015 to 2016,” he said. “The Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund is an overall provincial grant that is provided to municipalities to help support our operations in order for us to operate,” Day explained. Council paid close attention to the budgets of each of the municipal halls and buildings when discussing the 2016 projected operating budget. After much debate on whether or not each municipal hall is profiting the municipality, council directed staff to prepare reports on each building
detailing the uses and revenues of each facility. “Over the next few months, can we have a report on all the halls that we have? Expenses, revenues, use, whatever it may be, from South Fred to Selby, Roblin,” Mayor Gord Schermerhorn asked town staff. It was discussed that if some municipal community buildings are not generating revenue, the building could be sold and repurposed for another use. “We’re not going to do anything with (the) Roblin (hall) because we just finished renovating it, but we still want to know the use and revenue of it for the expense that we put into it,” Schermerhorn added. The 2016 proposed operating and capital budgets add up to $11,242,264, up from $10,971,794 in 2015. Greater Napanee council plans to meet sometime in mid March to discuss the capital budget in detail. That meeting date has not yet been set.

Barry Lovegrove saw ‘British Invasion’ unfold as pro touring musician in 1960s
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Few people can say they had a front row seat to the pop culture revolution known as the ‘British Invasion’ quite like Barry Lovegrove can. The Erinsville resident will share some colourful tales from his teen years when he was a professional musician in the U.K. during the 1960s, rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones, all before they became famous on this side of the Atlantic. He’ll share stories and sing some songs on Feb. 16 during a talk titled ‘Encounters With Famous People’, taking place at the Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives. Lovegrove got his start while as a young teen touring with former Shadows bassist Jet Harris as a member of the Jetblacks. “Back then we had a lot of the American stars coming over (to the U.K.) like Sam Cook, Brenda Lee,” said Lovegrove. “We toured with them for awhile and I’ve got pictures of them. It was very interesting. It was a good era.”
Lovegrove’s Feb. 16 talk will include photos, tickets, notes and other memorabilia from his brief but memorable touring career as well as tales out of school of his experiences growing up with Ritchie Blackmore, who would go on to found Deep Purple. “I was 16 playing in these dirty night clubs, full of gangsters,” recalls Lovegrove of his time with the Jetblacks. “We were touring with Little Richard and Sam Cook. We were going to play a place called the Empire Theatre in Liverpool. The night we were going to play, Little Richard went sick and couldn’t make it. What happened was we had to close the second half and they had The Beatles close the first half. They were just a band. Now they’re lords or whatever.” While on tour he met several up-and-coming stars who are still today household names. “The stars had limos,” said Lovegrove. “But the limos would follow the bus and the stars would come on the bus because that’s where the fun was. I have pictures of us on the bus. We had some good fun. “In the bus you got to hear and see things,” added
Lovegrove. “They’re just normal people.” Lovegrove’s time on the road would be cut short due to family circumstances as well as his realization that the rock-star lifestyle wasn’t a healthy one. He says if he hadn’t gotten out as early as he did he might not be around to tell the tale. Fortunately he did and he has with him plenty of stories and photos to share from his travels. He also promises to share an interesting story of how he came into the possession of his 1962 Gibson J45 which will accompany him for the musical part of the evening. More than a musician, Lovegrove is actually a triple threat and will use the evening to officially launch an exhibit at the museum of his other passions, which features his photography and watercolour paintings. He photographs and paints landscape scenes, many of which are of the Lennox and Addington region. Tickets for Encounters With Famous People are $3 and will be sold at the door. The event gets underway at 7 p.m. and is part of the ongoing Tuesday Night At The Museum series.

EDITORIAL
To bomb or not to bomb… Earlier this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced how Canada would be involved in the ‘fight against ISIS’. He followed through on his party’s election pledge to end the bombing mission in Iraq and Syria; he announced that Canada would triple its training mission to (hopefully) make antiISIS troops in the war-torn region more capable of reversing ISIS gains. To say the reception of Trudeau’s reshaped Canadian mission in the Middle East has been mixed is an understatement. Right off the bat, Trudeau was swimming against public opinion: most polls show that a majority of Canadians support continuation of the bombing mission. His plan was called “shameful” by interim Conservative Party leader Rona Ambrose, who suggested that, thanks to Trudeau, Canada was shirking its responsibility in combatting ISIS and its brand of Islamic radicalism. Other members of the commentariat echoed those sentiments. Others said that Trudeau didn’t sufficiently explain his reasoning — or failed to ‘make the case’ — behind making the change. Still others said that Trudeau was in reality (and unfortunately) extending Canada’s combat role in the region, with no end to that mission in sight. It’s often said that if you come up with a plan that satisfies no one, you’re probably on the right track. We’re not so sure the same can be said in this instance. At the same time, we can say that, to date, none of the plans that have been put forth by this government, the past government or the various talking heads have been particularly satisfying either. It’s easy to say ‘this is the wrong thing to do’; it’s harder to come up with a sound alternative — especially when it comes to the fight against ISIS. We say this for a few reasons. First is the fact that, while Canada could play a valuable role, it will always be a limited role. We don’t have the military to do otherwise; we would add that, after lengthy involvement in the Afghan conflict, there isn’t much public appetite to do much more than what we’ve already been doing. And here’s what we’ve been doing: carrying out only three per cent of the total air strikes against ISIS territory. Second is the fact that the problem posed by ISIS is not one that’s easily solved. No one wants to do ‘nothing’ in the fight against ISIS, but opinion on what the ‘something’ should be is broad. History has shown us that military adventures in the Middle East have been, at best, ineffective, and at worst, counterproductive. The rise of ISIS, after all, is due in very large part to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq more than a decade ago. It’s a vexing problem, and anyone trying to sell you a simple solution to it is selling you false promise. As for Trudeau’s plan, we’re certainly not sold — but then again, we have yet to see a winner.

Cub gets second chance The following is a monthly column designed to teach local residents about the wild animals that live among us. Marylin Kendall is writing the column for the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, a Napanee-based facility that cares for injured wildlife. Earlier this winter a wildlife rehabilitator received a call from a Madoc neighbour reporting sightings of a bear cub in the area. Since such a young bear should not have been out on his own, On The Wild Side especially in winter, they were concerned. Also worrying was that the cub seemed to have an injured paw. If you can imagine this: bears walk ‘pad down’; this bear was ‘knuckling under.’ A paw injury could keep a bear from climbing a tree, its way to escape danger, and would leave it — especially a young bear on its own — especially vulnerable. The cub was captured and taken to Sandy Pines for examination. The orphaned cub weighed only 25 pounds, too small to hibernate on his own and, without his mother to help it forage for food, was suffering from malnutrition. Sue Meech tells me a 30-pound cub could survive the winter but this one likely would not have been able to. When an X-ray discovered no obvious fractures, Sandy Pines knew the bear needed more help than they could provide and so contacted another wildlife rehab person who specializes in bears, Mike McIntosh. Volunteers transported the bear in a large cage to yet another facility (Shades of Hope Wildlife Refuge) near Lindsay. From there, Mike came to collect the bear and take it to overwinter at
Marilyn Kendall
his Bear With Us Sanctuary and Rehabilitation Centre near Huntsville. The cub will stay with Mike for the winter and then be released — but possibly not until after his second winter when he will be full-grown. How did this bear cub come to be orphaned? It was reported that this fall six bears were killed in the area in which he was found. They were wandering near farms and perceived to be a danger. It is almost certain there are other orphaned cubs somewhere out there not as lucky as this one. It takes teamwork to rehabilitate a threatened animal, as this story illustrates, and it involves many steps: someone to report a sighting of an ill or injured animal, another to capture it and take it to Sandy Pines, other centres to be called in if needed, sometimes a veterinarian to consult and do surgery if required, an appropriate place found for the animal to recover, and daily care and feeding until it is ready for release.

Letter to the Editor
Council should complete vision for Lions Park
Many years ago, during the Second World War, I lived in the small town of Markinch, Fifeshire, Scotland, where my father was the local pharmacist. A number of military units were sent to the town at intervals — at least one regiment of Polish paratroops and a Canadian infantry regiment. Because we had a spare room, some soldiers lived with us from time to time before heading off to the front. One of the soldiers, Dave, was a Canadian who said that his home town was Napanee. He was with us for a short time, and departed in either 1942 or 1943. The only thing we heard of him afterwards was this photograph that he sent from Italy in 1945. I don’t remember much about him (I would have been about seven at the time), but I came across the photograph recently and wondered if anyone in the Napanee area would recognize him. It’s a small historical puzzle.
For some time I have had concerns about the Lions Park. Having lived in Napanee most of my life, I would like to share some history as I see it and bring another perspective to the park/boat ramp discussion. So far as the boat ramp is concerned, since we already have two ramps and parking lot for launching west of the bridge, with better signage and enforcement that area should be adequate. My bigger concern is preservation of the Lions Club Park. First of all, I would commend the Lions Club on the foresight shown so long ago in purchasing the properties along the river that now comprise the Lions Park, especially because at that time the waterfront was not at all as you see it today. There was no Conservation Park and no River Walk. Instead, on the south shore was a scrapyard and what is now the Lions Park was an area containing several dilapidated boathouses, all the trash people could dump, brush and weeds — a place to stay away from, my mother said. The Lions Club had the boathouses, trash and weeds removed and the land levelled and seeded to produce the park we now have. When the work was done, the park was handed to the town with the intent that when possible, the house would be purchased and the park completed. Unfortunately, when the family was able to sell the house, town council was busy with amalgamation talks and the house again passed into private hands. Council was finally able to purchase the property in 2015. As good stewards, I believe it is time council completed the park that was started so many years ago. We are extremely fortunate in Napanee to have an impressive falls and picturesque river running through our town which residents, visitors and tourists can enjoy. It is time we took full advantage of this asset and the gift of the Lions Club. With the continued efforts of town council, I believe it is now possible to have on the north side of the river a beautiful park unspoiled and without obstruction which will only add to the attraction of our town and of which the town can be proud.

Ottawa resident looks to solve history mystery
Economic analysis to guide land use policies? The Fraser Institute recently released a study titled ‘An Economic Analysis of Rural Land Use Policies in Ontario’. The study, authored by economists Glenn Fox and Yi Wang, poses that economic analysis has not been properly used to develop Ontario land use policies including the Greenbelt and Niagara Escarpment Plans. The study makes the controversial assertion that Ontario’s agricultural land is not disappearing at the alarming rate that most of us believe. Although a side issue to the basic premise of the paper, the assertion that agricultural land is not being absorbed by urban expansion causes concern to farmers who regularly see urban encroachment onto farmland across Ontario. Backing up the assertion, the study distinguishes between cropland and farmland, explaining that cropland is farmland less pasture, fallow, woodlots, wetlands and barnyards. According to the study, farmland decreased in acreage by 39.33 per cent while cropland increased by 3.29 per cent between 1951 and 2011. The reality is that cropland and pasture are farmland and that since 1951 pasture in Ontario has been converted to cropland as the livestock industry contracted and urban boundaries covered cropland. The fact remains — farmable land in Ontario is being lost at a high rate — measurable in terms of hundreds of acres per day. As urban expansion accelerates we are seeing a reduction in farmland and a reduction in woodlots and wetlands.
Because much of the best farmland in Ontario surrounds the Greater Toronto Area and is engulfed by urban expansion, more of Ontario’s less productive farmland, farther away from the GTA, is being farmed. The authors suggest this change in land use is benign because “woodland and wetlands are less central to the agricultural economy” and that “high productivity frees up agricultural land for other uses.”
Mark Reusser OFA COMMENT While the basic economics may be sound, the OFA disagrees with the assertion that woodlots and wetlands are not significant factors in the rural and agricultural economies. As ecosystems they are an invaluable part of Ontario’s landscape and a key to sustainability. This controversy aside, the study’s fundamental assertion is that “land use policy could benefit from increased regard for critical economic concepts”. The authors suggest using market failure analysis with non-market failure analysis to determine the net benefit of a proposed policy. On this point we can agree. The OFA has recognized a real need for the Ontario government to apply economic impact analysis to proposed regulation via the Open for Business regulatory review process. As those impacted by a significant number of policies and regulations, Ontario farmers need to know the real impacts
of government action. And, we suggest, so should the government. The study does not go so far as to suggest exactly how economic analysis can be applied. They do note some of the externalities of farmland designations that should be accounted for, such as higher housing costs, less land for transportation, etc. However, the study does not note the externalities of the lack of hard boundaries and density targets which include more cars, the need for more roads, longer commute times, less wildlife habitat, less biodiversity, fewer wetlands and reduced food security. The OFA believes the economic analysis on land use policy will be extremely complicated — much more so than an analysis of other regulations. But it is worthy of consideration. The study also offers possible alternatives to land use designation including tradable development rights, compensation for landowners affected by development and payment for ecological goods and services. While the Fraser Institute’s conclusion that Ontario is not losing farmland to urbanization and that agricultural land is not at risk is fundamentally flawed, they have opened a worthwhile dialogue on land use planning, in particular, and generally on the way Ontario develops policy and regulation. The OFA applauds the Institute and the authors of the study for this contribution. Mark Reusser is a member of the OFA executive.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 9, 1966
n Mayor Lorne Smart and members of Napanee town council were not pleased by a photo published on the front page of The Napanee Beaver showing a snowbank in front of the Napanee fire station doors. The mayor said it was an example of “poor journalism,” and that the town “didn’t have to take a back seat to anyone in the matter of snow removal.” Napanee Fire Chief F.W. Patton did recommend to council that snow be removed from the front of the fire hall first “to avoid any further misunderstanding.” Some town council members also suggested that firefighters be required to shovel the snow from the front of the fire station after future snowstorms. n With the new L&A County General Hospital nearly built, hospital administrators were close to hiring staff to run the new facility. More than 150 L&A County residents were interviewed for positions at the new hospital. To that point, all those hired for the hospital were current L&A residents.
30 Years Ago February 5, 1986
n The Town of Deseronto won a 12-year dispute with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment over construction costs for the town’s $4 million water plant. Deseronto Mayor Denny Tompkins mae the announcement at Deseronto council’s regular meeting. In March 1974, the gross capital cost of the water plant was estimated at $1.3 million. At the time, council agreed to the figure and construction began. However, without any further consultation with the town, costs skyrocketed to $4.1 million. With it, the town’s portion of the costs jumped from $448,451 to almost $1 million. n It was announced that Napanee’s Dominion Grocery Store would close its doors — and with it, 13 of the store’s 15 employees would lose their jobs. However, when the Dominion Store closed, it was expected that within a few months, a Mr. Grocer store would open on the same property. What was not clear was whether or not the employees currently working at the Dominion store would be re-hired by Mr. Grocer. The employees were given termination of employment notices. The union representing the workers contended that since Mr. Grocer and Dominion had the same parent company, they should be rehired.

Recreation, arts top youth survey results
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
R0 013211837
Survey results from the Youth Task Force Committee show recreation and the arts as top interests and transportation as a major barrier. The newly-formed committee, now about a year old, decided the best way to address youth needs was to survey local youth. Over a few days in mid-December, committee members asked Napanee District Secondary School students to fill out the short survey. More than 240 students participated in the survey and one lucky student walked away with a new iPad. “From those responses, Kaylib Drury’s name was drawn and he is the lucky recipient of an iPad, kindly donated by our mayor (Gord Schermerhorn),” said Greater Napanee youth program coordinator and member of the YTFC, Bethany Lessard. After engaging with students at NDSS this winter, some students have come forward to provide a students’ voice on the committee.
“Since we’ve done the survey, we’ve had interested youth saying to us that they would like to be involved in some sort of a youth advisory committee or a sub committee that will help direct this committee on future strategic priorities,” said Lisa Lund, another YTFC member. The survey has helped to give the committee direction as to how to move forward in engaging local youth to get involved in Greater Napanee. “We were using the survey basically as a needs assessment tool to figure out what youth are looking for in Napanee. Because it is a newly-formed committee and we didn’t have the youth voice on our committee yet, that was the easiest way of reaching out,” Lund said. “The top two interests were recreation and arts. Personally the arts kind of surprised me but that’s great to see that there are other things than hockey and baseball in the area for interests from youth. They found that it was very safe in Napanee, which is also a

Committee members are (from left) Bethany Lessard, Schermerhorn, Lisa Lund, Shane Parsons and Jim Galloway. great thing to hear back from the youth. And that lack of transportation was one of the bigger barriers as to why there was low participation,” Lessard said, explaining the results of the survey.
Schermerhorn, who is also a member of the committee, said the committee was formed to prioritize youth in the community,and not just to engage teens but also to attract young families to settle down in Napa-
nee. “We seem to be paying a lot of attention to seniors in our community but nothing seemed to be happening for the youth. So the committee was set up to try to get some activities, find out what
they would like, and try to move the community ahead in trying to keep our youth and our young couples in the community,” said Schermerhorn. He added that the committee has a lot of plans for the future.

Gardening match-making Eligible gardeners will want to read this. With Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day approaching, romance seems to be on the radar most everywhere. Gardeners are really no different than other people in this regard: a little intrigue adds flavour to any story. Some years ago, I decided that it would be great fun to invite listeners to my phone-in radio show
Mark Cullen The Green File to call in with their credentials, should they be looking for a garden-mate. Tell me wherein your gardening interest lies, what you are looking for in a like-minded gardener and let listeners respond if they so choose. We only gave contact information if a caller gave us permission. One â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;matureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; woman called to say that her husband had died 14 years before. He had left her with a sizeable stash of garden gear, including a rototiller that was left standing in the vegetable garden. She asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there a man out there who can get my rototiller started?â&#x20AC;? After a good laugh she hung up and I decided that I had better quit while I was ahead: I never repeated the theme. But we sure had some fun that day! The idea of creating a relationship by exposing a shared interest is not a new one. For the last seven years the good people at The Stop Community Food Centre, in Toronto, have offered a free match-making service for people who wish to garden but do not have access to a piece of property and property owners who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time or physical ability to put their soil to work for them. The idea brings soil

Let me be clear: this is not a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;match-makingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service according to the common understanding of the words. I repeat: real estate and people are brought together. It all begins with an e-mail or phone call to Mik Turje, the co-ordinator of the YIMBY program at The Stop. Homeowners with a backyard that is underutilized, have the option offering it up to people who will till the soil and plant some veggies in it. They may even share some of them with

expected to respect the rights of the property owner: to clean up after each work session, to not disturb the peace and to offer to share some produce with the home owner. In short: be nice and courteous. Participants in YIMBY are invited to free workshops that are offered by The Stop that help them get started on their growing experience. Mik reminded me that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Stop is committed to
providing food access and food security for all. We attack the root cause of hunger.â&#x20AC;? It seems to me that YIMBY is the perfect answer for those who wish to grow their own food but are unable to due to access to land. Some other facts: n there are currently 40 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;backyardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; involved in the program with demand for many more n 30 people on the waiting list for access to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;backyardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; n there is no minimum size for a backyard to be eligible for the program The cost of remediation (soil, fertilizer, etc.) is generally mostly paid for by the host because it adds value to their own property. The gardener helps by putting in the labour, though often the gardener and host will work together. Mik arranges for access to soil, organic fertilizer and mulch at a reduced price as they buy in quantity. Each garden match gets a tray full of free organic seedlings from The Stopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse in the spring. Is there a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;socialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side to this equation? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, yes.

Part of last Thursday’s budget meeting dealt with the physician recruitment program. Each year, funds are set aside to go toward an incentive program for doctors to come to Greater Napanee. For 2016, $30,000 is budgeted and $65,000 is already on reserve. The program provides a $60,000 incentive to new doctors signing a contract in Greater Napanee. “There are no doctors that we have signed up yet taking advantage of our physician recruitment so there is $30,000 earmarked for this year,” said Mark Day,

Greater Napanee treasurer and director of finance. The funds are distributed in three $20,000 installments over three years. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn said it might be time for the municipality to re-evaluate the physician recruitment budget. “I do have a concern when I hear people in our community without doctors. I certainly want to look at that,” said Schermerhorn. “I’d like to leave that open in our budget for discussion at a later date... I do believe, with our aging population, we’re going to have to look at doctor recruitment. I don’t agree with municipalities competing against one another but it’s turned into that. I certainly want to look at that aspect of the budget,” Schermerhorn added. Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery explained why some physicians have turned down working in
Greater Napanee, which points to the contract the municipality currently has in place. Restrictions on where to live and participating in emergency room shifts at the hospital are two reasons two doctors opted for other communities over Greater Napanee. “One of the doctors said they were going to live in Kingston and try to run their practice here… The other doctor basically stepped back out because…. they were willing to be a family doctor but they didn’t want to participate in any type of rounds at the hospital,” Callery explained. According to the contract, doctors must live within 35 kilometers of the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital. “We don’t want to get in a position where we’re buying doctors for five years. We’re hoping that the attraction brings them to the com-
munity and they become part of the community, that was part of the initial residency component, and also so they could respond to the hospital because the hospital does need physicians to support the emergency department,” said Callery. Callery said council could explore expanding the program and/or collaborating with other municipalities to attract doctors to the LACGH. “We are competing with Hastings, which I believe, if I am still correct, that their agreement will sign them out before you’re even a doctor and pay for medical school. And it’s probably in the range of $200,000, where ours is $60,000,” said Callery. Some councillors had mixed feelings about reevaluating the recruitment contract. “I think if a doctor is going to go here, they should
be in our tax base. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable request,” said Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas. On the other hand, Ward 2 Councillor Max Kaiser argued that the municipality should be lenient, within reason, to accommodate doctors serving Greater Napanee. “We missed on opportunity on one because someone wanted to be 40 kilometers away, I don’t know if that was unreasonable. It’s not unreasonable for people to drive from Kingston or Belleville to work in Napanee or vice versa,” said Kaiser. “I agree with the comments of the tax base and about being part of our community but I don’t want to lose out on one family doctor because of a few more kilometers.” Council plans to continue discussing the physician recruitment program at future meetings.

REFUGESS | Good community support CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Although there may be a more ‘public’ welcome for the family in coming weeks and months, it won’t be today. “Initially, it’s going to be lowkey,” said Robertson. “The family has probably spent more than 30 hours in the air by the time they go from place to place to place to get here. I think they need some time to get used to the idea that it’s Napanee and not wherever they were living the last couple of years. There’s a lot of stuff to get
settled. At some point, there will be some kind of welcome, but one thing we have to make sure we do is protect their privacy.” He said a volunteer night held last week in Napanee was a success. “We have had over 40 people now in L&A who have put their hands up to help. It seems like every day you talk to more people. Community support has been fantastic,” he said. Robertson also said that the group hasn’t been confronted with any opposition to their efforts. “Quite hon-
LENTEN FISH FRY Read, Marysville and Deseronto Knights of Columbus annual Lenten Fish Fry will be held on March 11 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Holy Name of Mary Parish Centre, 7288 Old Hwy. 2, Marysville. Adults $15; children under 12, $7 and children under 6 free. All funds raised will be donated to the needs of our parish.
estly, I’m sure there are some people who are not fully supportive, but nobody has said anything, that I’m aware of, to any of our committee members, certainly not to me,” he said. “I think that what we’ve seen is some very vocal support. People are supporting us with cash donations, and they’re supporting us with donations in-kind, and they’re supporting us by volunteering. It’s actually quite heartening to see it, and to hear it,” Robertson continued.

Staff Picks: Extraordinary Women, Extraordinary Times Julie Wendland, Readers’ Services Co-ordinator for the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries, is a history buff who was eager to read the new book by
local author Sherry Pringle. Extraordinary Women Extraordinary Times: Canadian Women of World War II reveals personal accounts of how women experienced the
war and all of its madness. “David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister during World War I made no qualms about his feelings of women contributing to the

war effort,” explains Julie. In August 1918, a message was read from him to a mass meeting of Allied women war workers: “…I was very anxious to bear testimony to the tremendous part which women have played in this vital epoch in human history. They have not only borne their burden of sorrow and separation with unflinching fortitude and patience; they have assumed an enormous share of the burdens necessary to the practical conduct of the war.” Julie adds, “Unfortunately, the war to end all wars was not to be and the world entered into World War II in 1939. Women were called on again to fill in for the men who had gone off to fight either on the homefront or overseas joining the military ranks. Sherry Pringle’s b o o k , ExtraordiColes’ nary Women Extraordinary Times: Canadian Women of World War II profiles some of these women. Just looking through the table of contents you can see the amount of time and research put into this. Each woman she has profiled has their own unique story. There was Helen Harrison, the first Canadian woman to join the Air Transport
Auxillary, whose job was to ferry planes throughout the U.K. and, near the end of the war, to squadrons in Europe. There was also the Polish Freedom Fighter Eva Konopacki, who immigrated to Canada after the w a r . Pringle’s chapters on the HoloNotes caust were wrought with emotion and will send shivers down your spine. “There are quite a few stories with a local flair,” she says. “One of them is about Gibbard Furniture Company, Ltd., which by the War’s end had 232 women that built ammunition boxes for the war effort. I enjoyed reading about the Gibbard Rockettes.

Wedding Trends for 2016 hese are the most anticipated wedding trends for 2016. Wedding Cake Stand-ins People are saying "no" to the traditional wedding cake, and using creative options to stretch their dollar when it comes to dishing out dessert. Tiered cheesecake, or an abundance of flavorful pies, serves as a less costly replacement for the usually lavish centerpiece. Metallic Mania The elevated version of sparkle and bling has brought numerous amounts of gold, silver, and metallic color palettes to every aspect of the embellishing process. Brides are using foil printing and stamped lettering to incorporate modern sparkle elements into their invitations and stationery. Rose gold and copper are already expected to be two of the most requested
shades for 2016. Over-the-Top Themes People are often torn between attending an event, and taking an Instagram worthy picture of the themed décor. "Instagrammable" elements are being used more often in a wedding to put on an exaggerated display for their guests, and their followers. Theatrical food options, backdrops, and entertainment will definitely be on their A-game in the coming year. Live Music Entertainment DJ's are slowly becoming a thing of the past thanks to the incorporation of live bands and entertainment. Everything from singers, pianists, percussionists, and orchestra's can help amplify the ambiance of your special day. Station and Cocktail Receptions With weddings taking a

the ceremony site to rehearse and iron out details. Bring unity candle, aisle runner, yarmulkes, or other ceremony accessories to the site. Give your marriage license to your officiant. Attend rehearsal dinner. Present attendants with gifts at the rehearsal dinner. You'll want to do this especially if the gifts are accessories to be worn during the wedding.
T
Reconfirm final details with all vendors. Discuss any necessary last-minute substitutions. Call the limousine- or car-rental company for pickup times and locations. Arrange for guests without cars to be picked up from the airport or train station. Ask friends, attendants, or relatives to help. Deliver welcome baskets to the hotel concierge; make sure to include names and delivery instructions. DAY BEFORE DATE: ___________________ Provide all wedding professionals with an emergency phone number to call on the day of the wedding. Write checks and/or talk to wedding hosts (usually your parents, if not you) about any final balances to be paid at the end of the reception. NIGHT BEFORE DATE: ___________________ Rehearse ceremony. Meet with wedding party, ceremony readers, immediate family, and your officiant at
DAY OF DATE: ___________________ Present parents and each other with gifts. Give wedding bands to the best man and the maid of honor to hold during the ceremony. Give best man the officiant's fee envelope, to be handed off after the ceremony. Introduce your reception site manager to your consultant or maid of honor for questions or problems during the reception. Assign a family member or attendant to be the photographer's contact so he knows who is who.
major emphasis in the word "party" it's no surprise that more and more couple's are opting for less formal dinner options, like stations, to bring the feeling of cocktail hour throughout the entire night. Carts filled with customizable appetizers, desserts, salad bars, and gourmet cuisine, are all options that can be utilized with this modern movement. Emphasis on Intimate With the absence of formal dinners, comes the absence of large wedding parties. Couples are continuously being drawn to specialty venues like rustic barns, intimate chateaus, and industrial lofts to limit the amount of guests during their nuptials. If you, and your spouse, are expected to foot the bill yourself, this is definitely a viable option. Feather Fascination Making a statement with
your bridal gown will be easier than ever thanks to the growing trend of feathers. Designers have started incorporating feathers into traditional gown elements like, covering ball-gown skirts with fun feathers for an added surprise, or using feathers to add unconventional elements to your dress making it easily transitional to wear again. Shareable Highlights Short clips documenting your big day's most memorable moments, like that first married kiss, are being offered in "instant gratification" packages that allow you to share your big day with those that couldn't make it. Same day edits provide couples with a short highlight reel of the days festivities creating a unique way to relive the celebrations greatest moments.

lead. “I think it was kind of expected we wouldn’t totally be on our game out of the gate,” said Hawks head coach Brian Heaton, pointing to the fact that the team hadn’t been on the court for two weeks due to the exam break. “We ran the offense well, we played a zone defense to kind of conserve energy for guys to do a little more offensively. We made some shots from the outside. We had some looks to our post players Finn Pierce and Chris Ten Cate, and that was a positive.” Mastin finished the game with a team high 11 points. The loss drops the Hawks to 1-9 on the season with no shot at a playoff berth. The Crusaders meanwhile jump to 8-2 on the year, pushing them into second place in the KASSAA standings. The Hawks will close out their season on the road tomorrow afternoon against the top ranked 10-0 La Salle Black Knights.

Nathaniel Cinnamon plays goal for the Napanee Peewee AE Stars. He helped bring his team to the OMHA quarter-finals Monday night by standing tall against the PEC Kings in a thrilling game 6.

HAWKS | Hockey teams and Jr. volleyball to play in quarter-finals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 “It’s kind of a tough way to finish the season, playing the top two teams in the league,” said Heaton. “But for our guys, game experience is what they’re lacking so that’s helpful.” Heaton says playing tough teams will only benefit the rebuilding Hawks as they look to field a competitive team going forward as they move to the senior level. In the senior game the Crusaders again ran away with it, defeating the Hawks 57-36. On the ice the NDSS boys hockey team wrapped up the regular season with a 5-2 win over the Bayridge
Blazers. That win gives them a 6-1 record on the season, good enough for the second seed as they head into the playoffs. The KASSAA quarter-finals will get underway next Tuesday with a 1:30 p.m. puck drop at the SPC. The Hawks are still awaiting their first round opponent. The NDSS girls hockey team will also begin their playoff quest on Tuesday, starting at noon at the SPC. They too are awaiting their first round opponent. In curling the Hawks took part in the Ontario Regional Playdowns, held this weekend. The boys team, made up of Austin Dunham (skip), Joey Botting (vice), Gabe Charlebois
(second) and Liam Benton (lead) started their tournament off with a strong game against eventual regional champion Osgoode. Napanee led 4-2 after the fourth but fell 8-6. They took on Frontenac in their second game, losing 10-6. The girls team, made up of Brienna Tofflemire (skip), Natalie Scilley (vice), Hailey Duffy (second) and Nicole Beer (lead) played a competitive first game against Napean's John McRae, losing 7-5. They lost their second game to Fellowes from Pembroke 10-1. Earlier this month the boys curling team picked up their first win of the KASSAA season, beating Regi’s rink 10-2 in five ends. Their
next game will be Feb. 17. In volleyball the girls junior team pushed the Holy Cross Crusaders to a fifth set but couldn’t seal the deal, losing 3-2. The loss drops Napanee to 6-5 on the season, leaving them sixth in the KASSAA standings. They’ll look to improve their seeding this afternoon when they host La Salle for the final game of the regular season, starting at 5:15 p.m. The quarter-finals get underway on Tuesday. The senior team was also in action on Tuesday against Holy Cross, getting swept in three sets. They are 2-9 on the season and will miss the playoffs. Their final game is this afternoon.

the first two periods of game four holding a 3-1 lead at the break. The resilient Kings tied the game taking advantage of a pair of power plays and eventually scored the winning goal in OT. Scoring for the Stars was Hearns (two) and CookMartin. Wales (two) and Catena drew assists. Jacob East was in goal. Game 3, played on Wednesday, saw the Kings play a strong shutdown game that stymied the Stars. The Kings scored once in the first and once in the second and would hold on for the 2-1 win. Collard ended Picton’s shutout bid with five seconds left in the game. Green assisted on the goal. Cinnamon was in goal. Next up for the Stars is the Kingston Frontenacs Rink Of Dreams game (against the Stirling Blues) on Feb. 12 and then they will start their OMHA quarter-final series against the Huntsville Otters. n It’s off to the OMHA quarter-finals for the Napanee K&C Bobcat Services Bantam BB Stars.

How Grateful I Would Be To Have Just One More Day
If I could have just one more day and Wishes did come true, I’d spend every glorious moment Side by side with you. Recalling all the years we shared And memories we made, How grateful I should be To have just one more day. Where the tears I’ve shed are Not in vain and only fall in bliss, So many things I’d let you know About the days you’ve missed. I wouldn’t have to make pretend You never went away, How grateful I would be to Have just one more day. When that day came to a close And the sun began to set, A million times I’d let you know I never will forget. The heart of gold you left behind When you entered Heaven’s gate, How grateful I should be to Have just one more day.
Lovingly remembered by Dave Simpson and family

Economic report supports agriculture and rural Ontario growth
By Don McCabe, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture
January 29, 2016 Two groups pushing for economic growth in Ontario right now are the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC). OFA shares a similar mandate with the OCC – we both work on behalf of businesses in the province. OFA focuses our advocacy on farm businesses. It is a strong lever to OFA’s forward advocacy actions to have OCC’s work helping to support growth for Ontario’s agri-food sector in various ways. On January 26, a report authored by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Mowat Centre, and Leger highlighting several issues OFA is pushing for to grow our industry, farm businesses and the greater Ontario economy was released. The report, Emerging Stronger 2016, is the OCC’s assessment of Ontario’s economic strengths and weaknesses since 2012. It’s encouraging to see the OCC support issues like curbing rising electricity costs, extending broadband across the province, the development of a Cap and Trade system and promoting Ontario’s agri-food sector at home and abroad. OFA supports the Emerging Stronger 2016 report recommendations for a stronger Ontario, identifying many areas that support Ontario farmers and OFA’s current advocacy work. The five-year analysis report outlines five priority areas for economic strength in Ontario. 1. Fostering a culture of innovation and smart risk-taking in order to become a productivity leader 2. Building a 21st century workforce 3. Restoring fiscal balance by improving the way government works 4. Taking advantage of new opportunities in the global economy 5. Identifying, championing, and strategically investing in our
competitive advantages in the global economy Prime Minister Trudeau recently stated in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum that Canada is full of resources and resourceful people. Ontario farms and rural business communities exemplify and carry a long history illustrating resourceful people properly managing resources. To leverage our resourceful talents, and to grow our economy, OCC’s report outlines key priorities for much-needed economic development in Ontario. It demonstrates how organizations like OFA and OCC can realize our province’s potential in collaboration with others and collective action. The OFA asks the federal government and provincial government to combine their resources with Ontario’s number one industry, and announce these intentions in upcoming budgets. A copy of the full Emerging Stronger 2016 report is available at occ.ca. Congratulations to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Mowat Centre and Leger for their hard work to compile this report, and helping to promote Ontario’s farmers, who are the core strength of the current Ontario economy.

Napanee’s Bill Logan and Civitan Mark Larabie finally got their hands on the Elmer Annual Civitan Tournament trophy this week, following their golf tournament win back in August in Quebec. The tournament, which was a best ball scramble, was a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.
PLAYOFFS | EBJCHL semifinals start Tuesday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 Adam Redgate is 8-8-4 with a 3.93 GAA and .886 save percentage in 22 games played. Ryan Kaszuba is 12-6 with a 4.45 GAA and .865 save percentage in 21 games. Following Tuesday’s Game 1 the series will shift to Amherstview’s W.J. Henderson Arena for Game 2 on Thursday. Game 3 will go Saturday in Napanee and Game 4 Sunday in Amherstview. If necessary Game 5 would go Feb. 23 in Napanee with Game 6 Feb. 28 in Amherstview and Game 7 Feb. 1 in Napanee. All games will get underway at 7:30 p.m. Though always a heated rivalry when they meet in the regular season, this will
mark the first time since the 2009 playoffs that these two teams will meet in the postseason. That year ended in heart break for the Raiders, as one of their strongest teams in team franchise history, coming off a 37-3 regular season record, lost to the Jets in the finals. The year before that it was the Raiders who bested the first place Jets in the league finals. While there may be plenty of suspense surrounding one of this year's semifinals, there’s little doubt as to who the favourite will be in the other bracket. The reigning league champion Port Hope Panthers have dominated the entire season, going 335-1 with one game left to
play. They will face off against either the Gananoque Islanders or Picton Pirates. The Islanders hold a four point lead over Picton for the final playoff seed, but have just two games left to play. The Pirates have three games left. The two teams will meet tomorrow evening in Gananoque in a game that could very decide the fate of both teams. The Islanders are one of the few teams to have some success against the Panthers this season, be it very mild, as they skated to a 2-2 draw with them on Jan. 24 as well as besting them 2-1 back on Oct. 10. They’ll close out their regular season against the Panthers on Feb. 13.
NDCC hosts Ladies’ Bonspiel Latimer, Babe, Semple and Hayes win title
BY SANDY EASTLAKE On the Button
he Ladies Club Bonspiel last Sunday was a lot of fun for the ladies of the club thanks to Moira Sickling and her committee of Benita Murphy and myself. This event has the ladies of the club playing new positions and was created years ago by Liz Graham and Murphy so the day ladies and the evening ladies get a chance to intermingle. The event was won by the team
T
of Lana Latimer, Phyllis Babe, Sandy Semple and Gena Hayes followed closely by Chris Downey, Liz Goldie, Sandy Kennelly and Tessa Brunton. The draw to the button and/or double take out was won by Linda Yorke in the first draw and Liz Goldie in the second draw. The convener thanked all the volunteers who made this event the success it was. Napanee District Curling Club’s annual Highland Lassie Bonspiel set for Feb. 20 has a full slate of 16
teams; followed by the Town and Country Bonspiel for Feb. 24 to round out the month. NDCC’s league directors are now compiling the teams for the last draw of this season so anyone interested in curling in a league they are not in right now should not wait any longer to let them know. Anyone thinking about renting the club for a curling event or even just want the lounge area, please call Don Currier 613-876-6502 as there are very few open spots.

TAXES FROM PAGE 1 “I want the taxation committee to get all the information. … Whether they agree or disagree, that’s up to them,” Schenk added. “I want to get the information to them so they can decide.” However, most of council felt that any interference from council could sway the committee and that council will have its time to deal with the issue at a later date. “I’ve been to every taxation policy meeting. I have bitten my tongue and I have kept my calm myself, I am not in favour of that motion,” said Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas. “If we’re going to open up this process in the middle of the taxation meetings, there will be several more requests and applications with things that they’re doing. I think these people need to be operating on their own; I don’t think council need to intervene at this time.” Lucas also added that the committee is seeking much more information than OPP calls for service locations and that stepping in on this issue could lead council down a long path of other issues. Still, Schenk moved his motion: “That the town ask the OPP for the calls for service in the municipality and that the information be given to the taxation policy review committee for their deliberations,” and that if this is not done, a written letter be provided to the committee explaining why they can’t have the information. The motion was defeated with only Schenk voting in favour of it; however, Ward 2 Councillor Max Kaiser was back and forth on the issue before voting. “My understanding is that the committee was seeking information and that the information was not going to be made available or there were limitations on how to get it and I wanted to ensure that they do have access to the information that they do want or do need,” Kaiser said. Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery explained that the province provides OPP information and town staff does not have the information the committee is looking for. “My understanding is, there’s a lot of private information on these reports that they have to get rid of before anyone can get them,” said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “My concern is that I understand someone made a comment that staff was withholding information. It is not these people holding that information back.” The next Taxation Policy Review Committee meeting is this Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the council chambers.
