Council pledges tax rate ‘answers’ BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Questions regarding urban and rural tax rates should be answered by the end of March, according to Greater Napanee council. Harry Kellar, the resident leading the urban-versus-rural tax rate debate, was back at council looking for answers on Tuesday. During his deputation, he reiterated some of his concerns and also brought up a 32 per cent rebate, which is the difference between rural and urban tax rates. He said he has learned that some residents in his area are receiving the rebate, although he is not. “I got a call from a taxpayer on (County Rd.) 41 who told me he was getting a rebate,” Kellar told council. “I found out there were a few people on Vanluven Road and a few people on (County Rd.) 41 getting the tax rebate of 32 per cent. But nobody on Kimmett Side Road was. Anybody who was on water and sewer was not getting the rebate. It seemed most of the people who were not on water and sewer was getting the rebate,” he said. He said he feels all rural residents deserve the refund. “The taxpayers in this area have waited nearly three years and we have really gotten nowhere.

Assembling the bikes were (from left) Julie Maxwell from Maxcrete, Napanee Rotary Club president Cynthia Surette, Kingston Waterfront Rotary Club President Duncan Brownlee, Rotary Club member Rob Elliott, local Sparks Fly ‘champion’ Brad Way and Greater Napanee KidSport Chair Vicky Hallam.

He estimated that the fire caused approximately $120,000. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, and is still under investigation.

Community rallying for ailing local girl Benefit dance ‘Shake a Leg for Sophie’ to support six-year-old battling cancer later this month BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
A group of women have come together to help a sixyear-old girl fight cancer, as well as relieve some financial burden to her family. Sophie Towns went to the hospital just after Christmas and within weeks was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Since then, she has been faced with a number of other health implications, making her fight against cancer even harder. Seven women, ranging from Sophie’s family friends to complete strangers, have come together to plan a fundraising dance later this month. The benefit is called, ‘Shake a Leg for Sophie,’ and is taking place at the Napanee Lions Hall on Feb. 28. The Lions Club wanted to do more to help Sophie’s
cause than just provide the fundraiser’s venue, so last week the club also donated $750 to get the fundraiser started. Event organizers said people are drawn to Sophie and just want to help. “I don’t know Sophie at all, to be honest with you. I was touched by it and wanted to help in any way I could,” said Kelly Schermerhorn, one of the event organizers. The other organizers are: Amy Simpson, Janet McPherson-Cruji, Ellena Harris-Fleury, Lisa Davis, Courtney Davis, and Faith Woodland. “I’ve known Rebecca (Towns, Sophie’s mom) for years and so has Amy. They’re just a deserving little family that needs some help,” said McPhersonCruji. “We all kind of know Sophie in different ways. … Everybody that you talk to, everybody is just touched by it.” Before Christmas, Sophie was a student at
Selby Public School who liked to dance and sing. Since January, she has been told she has cancer, as well as a long list of other health complications. “There’s always something,” said Simpson. “She’s developed a steroidinduced diabetes. So now she’s struggling with trying to keep the sugars down right now, which is a tough.” Prior to that, Sophie received two blood transfusions, as well as a platelet transfusion. Sophie then acquired staphylococcus aureus in her port site, as well as through the line, and received intravenous antibiotics while trying to battle the bacteria. “It’s going to be a long haul. They said it should be a good two-and-a-half years of treatments ahead of her,” said Simpson. Sophie is the youngest of six and her mother, a single mom, is struggling to give all her children what they need right now.
will determine what their next protocol is,” explained Simpson. More information on the event and Sophie’s progress is available on the Facebook page ‘Shake a Leg for Sophie’. “The outpouring of love and support from Sophie’s classmates, friends, family, new friends being made as well as the generosity of complete strangers goes to
Rebecca is currently living at Kingston General Hospital with Sophie and will continue to do so for a few weeks. Rebecca’s other five children are at home, with help of friends and family. “She just finished her first protocol. They just did a biopsy (last Tuesday), another bone marrow biopsy, so they’re hoping (this) week they will have the results for that and that
show that the power of love and prayer is alive and thriving in Greater Napanee and beyond,” one of Sophie’s supporters, on the Facebook page. Tickets for the fundraiser are $15 each or $25 a couple. The dance starts at 8 p.m., Feb. 28, at the Lion’s Hall. They can be purchased through any of the seven organizers or at Ellena’s Café.

Is ‘crossing the floor’ ever good? A member of parliament, finding their own beliefs and principles at odds with the party they belong to, takes a bold step: they leave their party for another. When you put it that way, ‘crossing the floor’ seems like a brave and honourable thing. In practice, however, crossing the floor never seems to be viewed in that light. Instead, the act of crossing the floor generally smacks of political opportunism of the worst kind. That fact shouldn’t change in the case of MississaugaBrampton South MP Eve Adams, who left the governing Conservative Party and her position as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Health to join the Liberal Party. While she and her new leader, Justin Trudeau, did their best to spin her departure from the Conservatives to the Liberals as one spurred by principle — not wanting to be a part of a “meanspirited” party and all that — everything about the circumstances of her defection points to something far less noble. Adams’ time as a Conservative MP already appeared to be coming to an end. She failed to secure a nomination to run in the upcoming federal election; in fact, in her efforts to win one, both she and her fiancé, former Conservative communications boss and party executive director Dmitri Soudas, got themselves into hot water for breaking internal party rules. And, at the end of last month, party leadership advised Adams that she wouldn’t be given the opportunity to seek re-election for the Conservatives. So, when she says that she didn’t leave the party, the party left her, she does strike close to the truth. And, you can’t blame the Conservatives for wanting to part ways with Adams — indeed, her abilities as an MP and parliamentary secretary have generally been overshadowed by her ability to generate negative headlines for herself and her party. This, of course, begs the question: why would the Liberals want to attach themselves to Adams and her negative baggage? Well, if you’re looking for an answer here, you won’t find one; we can’t figure out that move either. Maybe an answer to that question will become apparent in the coming weeks and months. Will Adams, and by extension Soudas, provide the Liberals with ammunition to use against the Conservatives in the leadup to and during the election campaign? Will Adams make a political comeback for the ages? Or, will Adams’ knack for creating political headaches continue unabated? Will the Liberals’ decision to welcome Adams backfire badly? For some reason, a soap-opera ending like ‘tune in tomorrow…’ would be fit in well right here. After all, in terms of political drama, there’s nothing quite like a good floor-crossing. That said, we’re not sure Adams’ storyline is going to have a dramatic ending. However, we are sure that her decision to cross the floor won’t change the prevailing opinion about the act of leaving one’s party in favour of another. It’s shameless opportunism; putting one’s own political fortunes ahead of the will of the voters in their riding as voiced in the results of the last election. And it’s moves like these that cement voters’ cynical view of politics and politicians in general.

Time to clean up Napanee sidewalks Another fine mess: this described the $50 fine that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry got for not ensuring the front of his property was not cleared of snow. Unfortunately when the storm hit, he was at King Abdullah’s funeral in Saudi Arabia. Well if he had been smart, he would have moved to Greater Napanee, where multitudes of sidewalks are not safe to walk on. He would never have had to worry about getting a fine, and I am sure if it was looked up, you would find that nobody has ever
been fined. Try to walk down Palace Road, Camden Road or Bridge Street and you will find the usual homes that are never cleared of snow. When I complained about my neighbour a few years back about his grass being up to three feet high, the bylaw officer told me they only act when they get a complaint. He said he would give him a month to cut his grass. Seemed like an excessive amount of time, and in three months the summer was over and the grass
never was cut. I guess the same rules apply to sidewalk snow removal. Town council should instruct that the bylaw officer ensure that the bylaws are being followed and not only when someone complains. Neighbours do not want to get on the bad side of each other. If they won’t be enforced, then would a council member please make a motion to remove it from the books.

In-patient volunteers play important role at L&A Hospital OST visitors to Lennox and Addington County General Hospital are familiar with the volunteers in red smocks who greet hem, help them find their way in the hospital, sell lottery tickets and run the coffee shop. But unless you have been a patient, you are probably unaware of the ladies and gentlemen in the green smocks called in-patient volunteers. In-patient volunteers work with the nurses in both the acute care and convalescent care units
M
of the hospital. For those unfamiliar with what we do, I refer to us as the geriatric Candy Stripers (with apologies to our younger colleagues). But therein lies our problem. Since most of the people who have the time to volunteer are seniors, they are also snowbirds and cottagers, so Volunteers Services is constantly in need of new faces in many departments. The scheduled times are 8-11 a.m., Monday to Friday, and our duties vary with the needs of the day. Typically, we arrive as the
dietary staff are beginning to serve breakfasts. They have brought up a cart of fresh water jugs full of ice that we hand out with fresh glasses, and collect the used ones to go back to the kitchen. This is also an opportunity to see how the patient is managing with their breakfast. Imagine how frustrating it must be to open all those little containers with arthritic fingers, to find what is on your tray with impaired vision, or learn how to butter toast with one hand after a stroke. Later, we collect the fin-
ished meal tray s and assist patient to tidy their bedside tables, making sure telephone, kleenex, books, etc. are within reach. Then we restock supplies in each room. We porter patients to X-ray, etc. for tests, papers to the office, samples to the lab and return stretchers and wheelchairs to other areas of the hospital as needed. We can help patients who are being discharged to pack their belongings or sit with a patient who is anxious, confused or lonely. There is a lot of walking
involved for those few hours but otherwise all that is required is a compassionate heart. Being bedridden and unable to do the simplest things for oneself can be both frustrating and disheartening. The value of a smile and a helping hand is immeasurable. If you have a few hours a month to share, please contact Beryl Jacka, co-ordintor of volunteer services at 613-354-2562.

‘Tax the rich’ schemes don’t really add up On Jan 20, U.S. President Barak Obama introduced plans to increase taxes for well off people. Not to be outdone, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, our money-hungry premier, informed the public that this would also happen in Ontario. What luck! From my point of view, both of their approaches are wrong. Ontario is becoming more socialistic by the day. Is this what people voted for? Surely not. This is going to be a very long four years — brace yourselves accordingly. Many of the people, who dream of taking these measures have obviously never been in business. They have no idea what it feels like to lay all of their possessions on the line, to work incredibly long hours as they try to build their businesses and find ways to survive, while hoping the business may eventually become profitable. There are no guarantees of success, of course, just a dream for which they are willing to work to attain. Those who are lucky — it also takes a little luck also to end up with some profit — deserve their rewards, but the powersthat-be do not think so. These hard-working individuals are being punished
for doing well (providing their businesses are genuine and the profits do not come illegitimately). Our government representatives should spend time catching those who cheat to make a living and support those who work hard to be successful. Socialist governments always kill business initiatives. Dr. Kamerschen, Professor Emeritus, PhD at the University of Georgia explains best what happens when governments punish the rich for doing well (providing they pay their fair share of taxes along the way) like we do. Suppose that every day, 10 men go out for beer and the bill for all 10 comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59. So, that’s what they decided to do. The 10 men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one
day, the owner threw them a curve. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.” Drinks for the 10 now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free; but what about the other six men — the Cheers paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’ They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each
should pay. And so: the fifth man, like the first four, now pays nothing (100 per cent savings). The sixth pays $2 instead of $3 (per cent savings). The seventh pays $5 instead of $7 (28 per cent savings). The eighth pays $9 instead of $12 (25 per cent savings). The ninth pays $14 instead of $18 (22 per cent savings). The 10th pays $49 instead & Jeers of $59 (16 per cent savings) Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got a dollar out of the $20,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,” but he got $10!” “Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got to times more than I!”
Pierre Cliche
“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!” “Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!” So the nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the 10th man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half the bill. And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier. Three jeers for government officials who have no clue how to handle taxes that come from the hard work of those who have scrimped, saved, and struggled to attain their dreams,
and who employ many others to keep the economy running and prospering. When will these money hungry politicians begin to learn how to reduce the province’s expenses, their ways of operating and start to save money instead of continually looking for more money to spend? Shame on them. Brace yourselves for more taxes folks as we ‘tighten our belts’ yet again. Did you read lately that our premier has been rated the worst premier in handling our fiscal affairs? Yes, the worst in Canada — and we voted her in with a majority government! Aren’t we proud? Even worse, when these types of politicians lose their jobs, they still get their government pensions — benefits and all — after having left a trail of problems behind for others to solve and we the taxpayers are blamed for not contributing enough. Ladies and gentlemen unless we stand and fight for a stable, fiscally responsible government, we will have to continue to put up with what we have — and worse. If things do not change our spending power will continually shrink. Pierre Cliche plcliche@sympatico.ca
Blind date with a book Are you ready for an adventure? Stop by your local branch of the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries next week (Feb. 15 – 21) and let us ‘fix you up’ on a blind date. With a book, of course! These books come wrapped: you won’t know what your book looks like, you won’t know the title, and won’t know the author. Even though you’ll have a few hints, you won’t know the identity of your mystery date until you get home. Will it be sweet and romantic? Will it be funny, serious, true or total fiction? Maybe it will be true love. Maybe you will be disappointed. But then again, maybe you’ll have a great time with a book you wouldn’t have otherwise picked up. The ‘Blind Date with a Book’ program is a common feature of public libraries and book stores around
Valentine’s Day for good reason: it encourages voracious readers to keep their minds open! You may know exactly what you enjoy in a book (and t h a t ’ s great!) but if a reader Coles’ n e v e r v e e r s from their tried and true genres/authors/series, how will they know there isn’t a book out there that will broaden your reading likes and must-haves? If you are a reader that is often disappointed and frustrated because you have more or less exhausted the books of your favourite author or subgenre, then this program is for you. Challenge yourself — the worst thing that could happen is that you don’t like or don’t finish your selected book. A few years ago I participated in a program sim-
ilar to this at another library. I always read pretty widely so it was not a stretch for me to veer out but it definitely lead me to a book I wouldn’t have otherwise picked up. Notes In The Breaker by Minette Walters, a woman’s body has washed up on England’s Dorset coast. Simultaneously, a drugged three-year-old is found wandering alone in a nearby town. Police determine that they are mother and daughter — but what exactly happened to them? There are several possible culprits, including the woman’s husband, but as the investigation continues the police descend deeper and deeper into an impossibly complex mystery. This novel was published in 1998 and was by
Catherine Coles
an author I had never read so it was completely off of my radar but lo and behold I got really wrapped up by this novel. Funnily enough, it ended up having a bit of resurgence in recent years because it acts as a decent read-alike for Gone Girl. If
you enjoyed the BBC television series Broadchurch, The Breaker has a similar feel. I would definitely consider it a blind date book success. It is available to reserve at your branch of the County of Lennox &
Addington Libraries. While you’re there, check out our wrapped books – and good luck on your blind date! Catherine Coles is the manager of library services for Lennox and Addington County.

Barn boards on interior spaces L

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 17, 1965 n The Canadian Maple Leaf flag was officially raised for the first time over Napanee Town Hall. The old ‘red ensign’ was lowered and presented to Judge G.F. Smith, the president of the Lennox and Addington Historical Society. The new red-and-white maple leaf flag was then run up the flag pole. The act of lowering the old flag and raising the new one was carried out by Gunnar Petersen and Wayne Legere, both of whom were members of the Napanee high school cadets program. n The Prince Charles School in Napanee was about to get a major technological boost. It was announced that the school would soon receive a pair of new televisions to assist as teaching aids. One would be located in the projection room and the other in the auditorium, to be used when special programs of interest to students and teachers are shown. The Napanee School Board had approved the purchase of the TVs at a recent board meeting.
35 Years Ago February 13, 1980 n One Camden East family needed no convincing that smoke alarms save lives. When their home’s smoke detector went off shortly before 2 a.m., the Duhamel family were awakened and quickly got out of their burning home. Because the fire spread rapidly, they needed to escape through a second-story window. The couple’s two young daughters went first, followed by mom and dad. Only a few short moments after they made it safely to the ground, the roof of the home collapsed. By the time fire crews arrived, the house was completely destroyed. n Labour unrest was boiling over in Lennox and Addington County. Members of the county’s roads crew voted to go on strike, and were poised to walk out by March 1. The 18 employees were represented by the Service Employees International Union. Meanwhile, separate school teachers also voted to go on strike by Feb. 20 unless a contract between themselves and the Frontenac-Lennox and Addington Roman Catholic School Board could be reached. Both sides said they remained hopeful that they could hammer out a deal.
Lying in fields withering away. Fading to shades of grey. Full of holes and knots and pieces missing. Weathered. Textured. You guessed it — antique barn boards are one of the hottest trends in interior design. Maybe you’re going green, or you might like the rustic look, you can use recycled or reclaimed barn boards to decorate a wide array of spaces in your home. You can use barn boards for any project where you would use normal board, including shelves, craft projects and decorative pieces. I would not recommend using old barn boards for architectural support, in case the board is weak. Barn board provides warmth to a modern interior space. When placing something as rustic as weather barn boards in a modern space, it really warms up the room and gives an amazing contrast with modern, clean lines and smooth surfaces. room covered in barn A popular choice is a boards can appear too barn board interior wall; a dark. focal wall clad with planks When adding barn of reclaimed barn wood. boards to your space, your You can use the barn board room develops a more the same way you would romantic feeling that is use plank married panelling or with a crisp, wainscoting modern sento cover a s i b i l i t y. wall.

board will help to balance out the colour in your décor, especially if you leave it bare. You can use barn boards to add architectural details. Although you don’t want your barn boards to serve any true architectural purpose, you can add architectural details to your home using barn boards. Create the look of wooden ceiling beams with barn boards. Construct window trim or molding from old barn boards, or make a rail for a stairway or other open space, such as a balcony. Barn boards can be used in unexpected ways. You can make an amazing headboard by installing boards the width of your mattress or an inch or two larger by directly nailing them to your wall. Apply a white wash for an added effect. The white wash is great because it allows the grain of the wood to show through while still preserving the natural beauty of the wood. Barn board has so many wonderful applications. Install barn boards on your ceiling; it works especially well with vaulted ceilings. They make remarkable doors. They are a gorgeous alternative to standard doors. Instead, the doors could act as a focal point on a wall in both a rustic and modern environment. Barn boards can be used to make a reclaimed wooden island, kitchen cupboards, shelving, and the list is endless. My favourite remains a focal wall in a room. It’s very easy to install because you can preplan and it’s
just a matter of patterning your pieces to be vertical or horizontal. It’s literally just nailed to the wall. You don’t want it to look too perfect. It has to look rustic. You want it to look like it was thrown up casually. Boards from an old barn are the best. They are usually very wide, which makes them distinctive when used for wall panelling or flooring. Also they are the most attractive, having weathered for generations of usage and the beauty of the wood itself. There are also many different kinds available for purchase to suit your personality or design taste. Remilled antique ash has a lovely light colour, a soft patina, and is a long-wearing hardwood. Elm has a redder natural colour. Oak has a more noticeable grain that varies in colour, which gives it a lot of character and beauty. Have fun using barn board in your interior space; it gives the room a modern sensibility and freshness but at the same time evokes the past and the mysteries of where each plank has been or was part of at one time. It sets the entire cerebral, fresh and inspiring tone for an amazing design.

Chill Zone gets Jumpstart funding Canadian Tire contribution to assist in providing programming at local youth centre BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Napanee’s Chill Zone program will live to see the spring season thanks to a $5,775 donation from Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart Charities and the Morning Star Mission. The youth centre, which has struggled for funding since its inception, continues to function on a shoestring budget. The non-profit organization operates with razor thin margins and simply can’t survive without help from the community. The recent Jumpstart donation will carry them through the rest of winter. “It allows for three months of our youth engagement workers to be hired and run programs for two nights a week here at the Mission,� Trish Reid, community development worker for the Napanee Area Community Health Centre said of the Jumpstart grant. “The mission has donated this space to us.� Running on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Chill Zone is a space for local youths to drop in and play sports and board games as well as receive mentoring from trained health centre workers. Whether it’s help finding a job or just having someone to talk to, the Chill Zone is a safe haven for teens. The mission also allows them access to their kitchen, where they can cook up some warm meals. As part of the Jumpstart donation they can now purchase volleyball equipment, hockey nets and sleeping bags. “We were experiencing some of our youths couch surfing,� said Reid. “They had nothing to sleep on at someone’s home, so we gave them the sleeping bags for that purpose.�
Last Thursday the youths had a chance to test out their new hockey nets, challenging Greater Napanee Fire Services, Napanee OPP and Health Centre nurses to a street hockey tournament. While the grant was a huge boost, it’s at best a band-aid solution. In the meantime they will be hosting a Video Valentine’s Dance Party tomorrow night at the Napanee Lion’s Hall. A dance for ages 10-14 will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. while a 15 to 18 year-old dance will run from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Adult supervision will be provided for both age groups. Tickets are $10 and are available by contacting Reid at Trishr@kchc.ca or 613-354-8937 ext. 7117. “Our agency, Kingston Community Health Centre, has agreed this program is a definite need and they’re going to back it,� said Reid. “They’re going to give us engagement workers as long as there’s other funding coming in, so that’s a huge piece.� Though they’ve struggled to pay their bills, the one thing the Chill Zone has never lacked is youths walking through their door. From their beginnings at Market Square to their current home, the number of youths dropping in has steadily risen month after month, usually seeing 20 to 25 visitors on a given night. The best advertising for their free services comes from word of mouth. “It’s a place where you get to hang out and it brings people together,� said Kelsey Maracle-Nicholas, a frequent visitor of the Chill Zone. “All my friends are here and it gives me something else to do, other than sitting at home doing absolutely nothing,� she added. Reid says they plan to apply for more grants for the spring and summer months.

Advice for men on Valentine’s Day There is no other annual ‘special occasion’ that tempts us to play it safe quite like Valentine’s Day. To be clear, the celebration of our love for those nearest to us causes otherwise sane, bold men with a natural inclination to take risks to merely reach for one of the three safest material expressions of our affections: Roses, chocolate and lingerie. I am here to suggest that this could be the beginning of a new age of giving; one where you (the man) extend your desire to please and thrill your sweetie with a gift that truly is outside of the box; one that reflects your sensitivity to her desires. No Romeo My wife will tell you that I am no Romeo. So let’s reflect together for a moment on the very popular tradition of giving long stem cut roses on Valentine’s Day.
We know that this is a crowd pleaser, but then, are you trying to please the crowd or your sweetheart? And what is it that appeals to women about a dozen long stem red roses? Why a
Mark Cullen The Green File dozen? Why red? Why roses which die notoriously quickly relative to say carnations — which are cheaper and ‘stand up’ to the test of time for up to a month versus seven to 10 days for roses? My answer is that I don’t know. I am a guy too, and I am equally paranoid about getting this wrong. We are not meant to know the answers to simple questions like these. Of greater importance is our willingness to explore the limits of our imagination together and who knows, maybe we will

Fact: Cut roses are not a cinch to grow. That is why they are expensive. Suggestion: This could be your cue to make the growing of roses as easy as possible. Give her a rose garden. For the price of a dozen long stems at this time of year (about $60 to $100 for quality ones) you can buy her four to six rose plants that will grow in our Canadian climate, produce not ‘a dozen’ but dozens of rose flowers at about the same cost but over a much longer period of time. Go one step further: Give her you. Offer to dig the holes, prepare the soil for planting and, if you are a real ‘sweetheart’, you will plant them for her too. The ‘roses’ are best purchased in the form of a gift card from her favourite garden retailer. Fact: Roses are a product of Nature. Suggestion: The expression ‘the birds and the bees’ came from somewhere.
Maybe roses are not the beall-and-end-all. Maybe the attraction is the natural beauty of flowers generally. Perhaps the ability of flowers to attract songbirds, butterflies, hummingbirds and other wildlife is part of their magic. How about giving her a garden! Yes the whole enchilada. Buy her a private consultation with a garden design professional and let her take it from there. Maybe there will be a new garden

travel all that far to find great rose gardens. There is a fabulous collection of roses on the grounds of Rideau Hall in Ottawa where many of the winter hardy roses developed in Canada are on display for all to see (for free) and the Experimental Farm in Ottawa offers another colourful glimpse into rose breeding programs in Canada. Currently Vineland Centre for Research and Innovation (in Vineland, Niagara) is home to the largest of Canadian Rose breeding programs. You can view many of the established varieties there. Go to vinelandresearch.com. One more fact: It is not roses themselves that women love, it is what they represent. More to the point, it is what giving them to her represents. It is, after all, not something most of us do for our soul-mates on a regular basis. So it is the extraordinary gesture of giving roses that makes the positive impression that you are hoping for.

in your future, maybe not. The point is that meeting face-to-face with a pro that has experience and passion for creating beautiful gardens will inspire and motivate your sweetie to plant something different this spring, to prune existing trees and shrubs with confidence, to combine plants that she would never have thought of. Fact: Roses are exotic. They originated elsewhere. Suggestion: Notwithstanding the native ‘wild rose of Alberta’, roses as we know them in the garden originated in far reaching lands. The Greeks wrote about them in poetry, Egyptians referred to them in hieroglyphics found in ancient tombs and the Chinese celebrate the rose as a source of life. Give her the gift of a journey to another part of the world to see roses as neither of you have seen them before. England is the home of modern day rose breeding. Go to the famous rose breeding grounds of the David Austen Rose garden near Coventry (www.davidaustenroses.co m). Tour the rose gardens of Hampton Court (www.hamptoncourt.org.uk/ ). If the timing works, take her to the annual Hampton Court Flower and Garden Show the first week of July.

Mohawk church gets boost from Trillium Historic chapel receives $150,000 for refit
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Christ Church Her Majesty’s Royal Chapel’s restoration project received a $150,000 shot in the arm on Thursday, courtesy a grant from Ontario’s Trillium Foundation. Prince Edward-Hastings MP Todd Smith was in Tyendinaga to announce the donation, which will go towards preserving the church. Built in 1843, it’s one of just six royal chapels, and one of two in Canada located outside of Great Britain. It houses several gifts that have been bestowed to the Mohawks from the royal family over the years. Among them is a triptych which features prayers written in the Mohawk language, a bell given by King George III, a royal coat of arms, a bible from Queen Victoria and a communion chalice which was donated by Queen Elizabeth II in 1984. “There’s a glow about that place and (an) admiration that the community has for Christ Church here
on the Tyendinaga Territory,” Smith said during a presentation at the Mohawk Community Centre. “It’s so important to preserve our history. Too often we’ve seen our history disappear because of what we call progress. But if we don’t remember where we came from, then what’s the sense of all of this? No community believes that more than the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte.” Smith, who toured the church last autumn during a ceremony to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the start of the First World War, made another visit after Thursday’s presentation. Deanna Dulmage, a volunteer with the Trillium Foundation, was also on hand to present a plaque to the chief that celebrates their commitment to preserving historic structures. The church’s restoration project has been ongoing since 1998, starting with stonework, the widening of the basement and the installation of a furnace. Now on Phase 2 of the project, the work will
focus on the inside of the church, which includes repairs to he walls and windows as well as some electrical work. “It’s an important place to preserve,” noted Chief Donald Maracle. “We can’t just abandon it or discard it. It’s the place where our history is honoured and that does relate to all of us.” More than just a religious building, Maracle says the Anglican church houses plaques that mention members of the Mohawk community who served in World War I and World War II, as well as several of Canada’s other military conflicts over the last 300 years. It also celebrates the union formed between the Mohawks and the Crown. Maracle says the work on the church is scheduled to get underway this spring. When it comes to the total cost, he says council is preparing for the worst. With a building as old as this one, he says they could encounter plenty of surprises when they do get to work.

AS YOUR INCOME INCREASES, SO SHOULD YOUR RRSP CONTRIBUTIONS
IT’S TAX TIME
HERE ARE SOME QUICK AND EASY WAYS TO GIVE YOUR RRSP A RAISE THIS YEAR.
Take advantage of matching contributions If you belong to a group RRSP at work and your employer offers matching contributions up to a percentage of your salary, another reason to
increase your annual contributions is to ensure you take full advantage of this top-up. Otherwise, you are “leaving money on the table” that could eventually be in your pocket.
Boost your savings when you get a raise Because workplace group RRSP contributions are typically a percentage of salary, as your salary goes up, your annual dollar contributions will also increase. But you can boost your savings even more by giving yourself an RRSP contribution raise when you get an annual pay raise. If you allocate the first 1% of your salary increase towards your retirement savings, you won’t even feel it. That’s because instead of your pay cheque going down, it just won’t increase by as much. The impact of upping your RRSP contributions when you get a raise will be compounded if your raise or promotion entitles you to a higher employer match percentage. Furthermore, you will also get a bigger income tax break because RRSP contributions are not taxed.
Quinte Bookkeeping
contribution pension plan may allow you to sign up for an annual “auto-escalation” of your contributions, so they are increased automatically. Otherwise, you will have to specifically request that your contributions be increased each year. You can also enhance your RRSP savings by diverting money to your individual or group RRSP from your tax returns, bonuses and windfalls such as inheritances. By giving your RRSP contributions regular raises, you will be able to save more money faster, to help ensure you have the funds you’ll need for a happy and healthy retirement.

If you’re a younger worker with a large mortgage and small children, it may be a stretch to contribute even $100 a month to your registered retirement savings plan (RRSP). But as your income goes up, increasing your monthly contributions each year by only a small amount can make a huge difference. For example, let’s assume that you start an RRSP at age 35 and plan to retire at age 65. Initially, you contribute $100 a month ($1,200 a year) at an assumed 4% growth rate. According to the Sun Life RRSP contributions and withdrawal calculator, if you continue to save at this rate, after 30 years you would have $69,994 in your plan. However, if you increase your monthly RRSP contributions by $50 each year, by age 64 you would be contributing $1,550 a month ($18,600 a year). As a result, you would accumulate $476,924 in your RRSP account by your planned retirement date — nearly seven times as much!

More ‘Sparks Fly’ bikes added to local schools Equipment used for fitness and focus
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Stationary bikes will soon be a common sight in area elementary schools, thanks to some local generosity. On Tuesday, members of the Napanee Rotary Club, KidSport and others were busy building several new stationary bikes that were purchased under the ‘Sparks Fly’ program. The bikes are intended to assist students not only in being active and healthy, but to help them ‘self-regulate’ and stay focussed in the classroom. Brad Way of Marlin Financial, a Sparks Fly ‘champion’ and the first to donate a stationary bike to a classroom at The Prince Charles School last September, helped to organize the purchase of several more bikes for local schools. Among those involved in the purchase was KidSport, which bought five bikes — one for each elementary school in Greater Napanee. The Rotary Club, meanwhile, bought four bikes to
be distributed to local schools, while Maxcrete, operated by Danny and Julie Maxwell, purchased a bike for their child’s Southview Public School classroom. Napanee’s Sports Madhouse also chipped in with a bike. Way said that after news of his initial purchase was publicized in The Napanee Beaver and on social networking sites a few months ago, he soon started to get calls from potential donors. As such, he started organizing the bulk purchase in order to keep the cost of ordering the bikes lower. Way said he first found out about the Sparks Fly program — which is co-ordi-
nated by Run For Life — through Facebook. He said he’d like to coordinate another bulk purchase in the coming spring or summer, in time for the bikes to be delivered to local school for when students return to their classrooms in September. Way said that he’s still getting “remarkable� feedback relating to the bikes that have already made their way into local classrooms. Those who’d like more information can contact Way at brad@marlinfinancial.ca or visit the program’s website at w w w. r u n f o r l i f e. c a / r u n smart/.

Wedding Trends for 2015!
• 2015 Colour Trends The top colour picks for spring 2015 weddings are En Plein Air which in English means "in the open air." Think gentle and soft muted hues. Aquamarine will be present everywhere next wedding season. This colour is cool and ethereal (and may even prove to be a stress reducer!). As an added bonus, it's an amazing way to cross off your something blue. Scuba Blue, playful and reminiscent of a tropical ocean; Lucite Green, cool and refreshing, yet light in tone; and Toasted Almond, representing warmth, are other colours that will be popular. Plus, look out for Glacier Gray, which works for him or her. This colour is unobtrusive, but contrasts and enhances, working with all the other hot 2015 swatches, slipping into the background and allowing other colours to be the stars. • 2015 Flower Trends 2015's wedding flowers will be very feminine, romantic and soft. Think absolute luxurious florals, an abundance of flowers, grand and centre stage, not taken over by fillers such as stems and foliage. Expect to see a huge presence of hydrangeas, hyacinths and orchids in creamy pastels. Needless to say, this 2015 wedding trend will cost a pretty penny. • 2015 Wedding Dress Trends Next year's wedding dresses will feature off-theshoulder tops. This look is romantic and timeless. You will see variations from one-shoulder to draped sleeves on both sides. It makes for a very soft and bohemian look. • 2015 Engagement Ring Trends White gold or platinum just isn't for everyone. Yellow gold and rose gold are creeping their way back into engagement ring stores (and on the hands of more and more brides). These hues are
just as special and may even look better on your skin tone, so if you're looking for something a little different, don't be so quick to rule them out. • 2015 Decor Trends Move over, gold and silver—there's a new metal in town! Copper decor is popping up more than ever before. From centerpieces to invitation fonts, brides looking to give off vintage vibes to those who want to create an ultra glam mood, expect to see more of this metallic. • 2015 Food Trends Rustic is still a big wedding trend that will continue and extend throughout the menu. We're talking simple, plentiful and comfort food. • 2015 Midnight Snack Trends Also, food trucks are still a huge hit. Either have a food truck be your entire wedding menu or have a food truck pull up for a midnight snack. It's affordable and so much fun. • 2015 Lighting Trends Lighting has always been one of the most important factors for a gorgeous wedding since it has the power to enhance, create focus and set the mood for your night. 2015 brides, look to fairy lights, pin-spot lighting, brilliantly lit up initials or soft romantic twinkle lights to be right on trend.
• 2015 Cake Trends When thinking about your 2015 wedding cake, go way back to basics and revisit classic cake designs. These are always tasteful and never out of style. But by all means, do not confuse traditional with old fashioned. Pure white cake not your cup of tea? Go for a subtle cream or ivory. White doesn't have to be boring either, so if you have your mind set on a white cake with white details, do feel free to add some green foliage or flowers in a bolder colour to break it up a bit. Another wedding cake trend in 2015 will be to skip the elaborate dessert and sweet table and serve cake as your dessert. Do make sure you order enough for every single guest though!

How to preserve wedding bouquets and arrangements
bride’s gown may garner its share of attention come her wedding day, but floral arrangements also tend to impress guests. Fresh flowers make a wedding and the ensuing reception more inviting and appealing. According to The Knot.com, couples can expect to spend 8 percent of their wedding budget on flowers. For the average wedding, that equates to roughly $2,000 for various arrangements and bouquets. That can be a considerable expense for fragile flowers with a shelf life of only a day or two. But instead of tossing beautiful bouquets and other flowers into the garbage once the wedding day has come and gone, couples can employ various methods to preserve those impressive displays for years to come. Air drying One of the easiest ways to preserve flowers is to dry them out. This is best done by hanging blooms upside down so they will remain straight and not warp or
MARLENE’S
wither while drying. Secure flowers in small bundles and hang from an out-of-the-way spot in a cool, dry area. The flowers may need to remain hanging for up to three weeks before they are completely dried out. After which, gently remove the flowers and arrange them in a vase or another container. Otherwise, reassemble a bouquet how it was and carefully display. Pressing Pressing is another way to preserve floral bouquets and arrangements. To press flowers, find a few heavy books to stack or another weighted object. Place the flowers between parchment paper or waxed paper and lay the heavy items on top. You also can place the flowers in tissue paper between the pages of a book so they are not jostled. Leave the blooms for a week or two and then check on them before putting them in a shadow box or photo frame. Chemical drying Silica gel, borax and regular sand can
MAYHEW JEWELLERS
be used to dry and preserve flowers as well. These can be handy for people who desire to preserve an entire bouquet as-is. Silica gel is a desiccant commonly found in small packets inside of new shoes and purses. It also can be purchased at home improvement retailers and is used to dry out musty basements and other areas. Fill a deep container halfway with the silica gel or other drying material. Put in the bouquet and then gently add more product to the top of the flowers so they are completely submerged. Place a snug cover over the top of the container and let everything sit for about a week. Slowly the moisture will be absorbed from the flowers. Some people choose to spray dried flowers with a sealant to keep them looking nice longer. An all-purpose craft spray might work. You also can ask for recommendations from the florist who handled your arrangements, and that florist may even preserve the flowers for you for an additional fee.

Why a Valentine’s Day wedding might be right for you
alentine’s Day evokes strong emotions in so many people. On the official day of all things love, many eagerly anticipate the chance to spend time with their sweethearts. Couples who already have hearts in their eyes and are enamored with all things Valentine’s Day may want to tie the knot on this special holiday, and few can argue when a couple decides to become husband and wife on this day devoted to love and affection. Valentine’s Day is a popular day to tie the knot, as more than two million people choose February 14 to walk
down the aisle in the United States alone. Valentine’s Day is an easy day to remember, meaning it will be hard for husbands and wives to forget their wedding anniversaries. Another benefit to getting married on Valentine’s Day is the ambiance may already be taken care of by various establishments in the community. Reception halls may be embellished with flowers, balloons and other décor, while businesses may already be displaying hearts in their windows and twinkling pink, red and white lights for Valentine’sfocused customers.
WE DO CATERING... ...for your special day, bridal shower, jack and jill or engagement party! We can cater parties from 5 to 250 people at the venue of your choice!

Couples who may not know which colors to choose for their wedding parties and table linens can just go with the colors and themes of Valentine’s Day if they decide to tie the knot on February 14. Chocolate brown, red, lavender, and pink are primary hues for the season, and any combination will complement the festivities and ceremony — whether they’re the color of the napkins or making up the bouquet. Valentine’s Day treats and trinkets make for great wedding favors. Guests can take home individual boxes of chocolates or crystal candle votives, while
buffet dessert tables can be embellished with vases filled with chocolate kisses or candied hearts. Couples looking for a special day to tie the knot need not look any further than Valentine’s Day, a day devoted to couples and the affection they share for each other.

Couples should remember to build hidden expenses into their budgets when planning their weddings.
I
n the days of yore, the responsibility of paying for a wedding fell to the bride’s parents. But that tradition has largely fallen by the wayside in recent years, when more and more couples have used their own savings to finance their weddings. Few couples enter the process of planning their weddings unaware of just how expensive weddings can get, but costs can easily begin to escalate if couples are not careful. Couples know that certain wedding expenses, such as the cost of booking a reception hall, will eat up a large portion of their budgets. But there are some hidden expenses that couples must build into their budgets to avoid finding themselves in debt as they walk down the aisle as husband and wife. • Taxes: Sales tax might not seem so significant when you’re buying everyday items, but the taxes add up quickly when paying for a wedding. Depending on where you live, state and local sales tax can exceed 9 percent in the United States, and some Canadians pay as much as 15 percent in combined sales taxes depending on where they live. Before signing contracts with any vendors, couples should get the price including sales tax written into their contracts, as failing to do so may result in a several thousand dollar surprise when the time to pay up arrives. • Gratuities: Gratuities are another
potentially hefty expense that often takes engaged couples by surprise as they start to plan their weddings. Some reception halls build gratuities for staff into their estimates, and these tips for the staff can be as high as 25 percent at some venues. But even if gratuities for reception hall staff are already accounted for, don’t forget to include tips for additional vendors the day of the wedding. Couples may be expected to tip the florist, photographer, band or deejay and even the reception hall maitre d’ if his or her gratuity is not included in the aforementioned staff tip. Brides-to-be typically tip their hairstylist and makeup artist on the day of the wedding as well. • Postage: Couples who plan to invite guests via email or online invitations can skirt the cost of postage. But many couples still prefer traditional paper invitations, which include return envelopes that tradition suggests should also be stamped. Save-the-date cards have grown in popularity as well, and these cards must also be stamped and mailed. Depending on the size of your guest list, postage can cost several hundred dollars before you mail your last invitation. And don’t forget to save some money for postage to mail thank-you cards once the big day has come and gone. • Overtime: Overtime fees for reception hall staff and additional outside vendors are typically written
Inspire
into contracts, but few couples imagine needing more than the predetermined allotment of time noted in their contracts. But it’s better to be safe than sorry, as unanticipated events such as a misplaced wedding license or heavy traffic on the way to the venue can force the party to start late and thus extend past its deadline. Set aside some money for overtime so you don’t find yourselves scrounging for dollars or charging the extra few hundred dollars on your credit cards. Weddings are expensive, and even more so when hidden fees start to make their presence felt. Couples who build such fees into their budgets will find it easier to avoid breaking the bank than those who don’t.

There is a plaque in Camden East that honours Sir Gilbert Parker — a former politician, great Canadian writer, world traveler, and a local historian that many have forgotten about. A presentation about Parker at the L&A County museum this past weekend was intended to refresh some memories. Local historian Jennifer Bunting outlined Parker’s accomplishments, hidden truths and his ties to Camden East. The session was called, “From Camden East to Whitehall,” where Sir Gilbert Parker began his life, and where it ended. In his early years, Parker was a teacher in Belleville. Later in life, he became a well-respected politician in the UK and a successful and famous author, which led him to be knighted by the King. Sir Gilbert Parker was born in either 1860 or 1862; it is believed that he lied about his age. He was the third of six children born to Joseph Fredrick Parker and his wife, Samantha, in Camden East. He went to school in Camden East until about the age of eight, when he and his family moved to Seaforth, Ont. In 1882, Parker taught at Albert College in Belleville. Belleville became somewhat of a home base for Parker; however, he continued to move around for the rest of his life, primarily between Canada, the United States and the U.K. In 1883, Parker was studying at Trinity College when his sibling, Reginald, drowned. Parker gave up the priesthood and left for the South Seas, which is where his writing career began. “I have no way of proving this, but my theory is that Gilbert had kind of a nervous breakdown. I think this really challenged his divinity studies and made him think about what life was going to be about and what life was about,” said Bunting. “Throughout his life, Gilbert Parker, whenever there was a major crisis, he would have a health episode. He always claimed to be flirting with tuberculosis, but in actual fact, I think he was a very nervous person that had a tendency to breakdowns,” she

In 1885, Parker became a reporter in Sydney, Australia and published a book called Round the Compass, which was compiled of articles from his travels. Later, he published his most famous book, The Seats of the Mighty. In 1896, this was the third best selling book in the United States and also sold well in Canada. The book made him wealthy and famous. “This is the book that really made his reputation. The Seats of the Mighty, which was about the battle of Marquis de Montcalm, of course it was fiction and it was a big romance,” said Bunting. It was around this time when he married heiress Amy Van Tine, in New York. It is believed they had a happy marriage, though they did not have any children. From 1990-1918, Parker became a Member of Parliament in the UK for Gravesend, Kent. “He was a very good Member of Parliament; he was elected twice there and was extremely popular in Kent. He did a thoroughly good job,” said Bunting. During his time in politics, Parker met a number of dignitaries and became an even more famous writer; some of his books are made into silent movies. “In 1902, the King knighted him for his contribution to Canadian literature,” Bunting explained.
Three years later, he returned to Canada again to attend the inauguration of Alberta and Saskatchewan. “In Alberta he met Richard Bedford Bennett, who would one day become Prime Minister of Canada,” said Bunting. “Bennett was really impressed by Gilbert Parker.” During the war, Parker was used to help persuade the United States to fight with Britain against Germany. He worked at the war office in Whitehall, U.S., during this time. In 1918, Parker left parliament for health reasons. However, it is believed he left due to his wife’s health, as she was believed to have been unwell and later was believed to have had cancer. Gilbert and Amy were hit by a car in 1925, which killed Amy. Amy Parker was brought back to Canada and buried in Belleville. Sir Gilbert Parker continued to work on his movies in London until his death in 1932. He was then brought back to Belleville to be buried with his wife. His funeral was attended by a number of dignitaries, including George Tice, the Mayor of Belleville, and R. B. Bennett, who had at that time become Prime Minister of Canada. Bunting ended her presentation with one of her favourite Sir Gilbert Parker quotes: “Memory is a man’s greatest friend and worst enemy.”

Jr. volleyball Hawks rally to clip ESS Eagles Team roars to life after slow start BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Members of the NDSS rugby team train for the upcoming Cherry Blossom Tournament in D.C.
Hawks set course for U.S. capital NDSS enters Cherry Blossom Tourney BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
ooking to get a jump on the spring KASSAA season, the NDSS Golden Hawks senior boys rugby team has booked a flight for Washington, D.C. next month. Flying out March 26, the team will take in a few of the U.S. capital’s sites before gearing up for a two day international event known as the Cherry Blossom Rugby Tournament. This will mark the 49th year of the 15s tournament, which is held right around the time Washington’s famous trees bloom. Last Wednesday, despite blistering winter conditions outside, a group of 20 students took to the NDSS gym to work on their passing drills. They'll be continue to work on fundamentals right up until their departure. “They’re really jacked up about it,” said Hawks head coach Jim McKinney. “There’s 20 kids tonight, which shows you (how dedicated they are). It can only be good for the program.” This will mark the first time NDSS makes the trip to the tournament which has drawn teams from England, Australia and
L
Japan in the past. The tournament usually welcomes 40 high school and university teams from all corners of the globe. McKinney had discussed the possibility of going with previous teams and this group was by far the most dedicated. In order to help cover travel costs, which is about $400 per player just for lodging, the team is reaching out to the community. Any business or organization interested in helping to sponsor the trip can contact McKinney at mckinneyj@limestone.on.ca or by calling 613-453-6108. Any donation would be a huge help in getting helping to shrink their travel costs. The trip will no doubt create some long lasting memories for the graduating players. As an added bonus, it could pay dividends for the club as they get set for the KASSAA season, which starts in May. “This is a returning group that lost in the (KASSAA) semifinals last year,” said McKinney. “They’re really keen to right the ship and go get what we felt was ours but hasn’t been the last couple of seasons. We want it back.”
Shaking off some early stumbles, the home team NDSS Golden Hawks junior girls volleyball team rallied for an important 3-1 win over the Ernestown Eagles. After spotting their opponents a 12-4 lead in the opening set, the Hawks rode the serves of Hayley Lambert for an 8-0 run to claw their way back into the game. The comeback was nearly in vain when the Eagles jumped out to a 2423 lead, needing just one point to claim the seesaw set. Unfazed, Jordyn Sunderland dropped in two perfect serves to keep the set alive. Though they had to do a little extra work, the Hawks pulled out the 28-25 set win. The momentum was short lived come the second as the Hawks again struggled early, falling behind 91. Despite another rally, they fell short 25-23. By the third they seemed to really find their groove, building an 18-12 lead. The Eagles didn’t go away quietly, mounting a late charge before the Hawks sealed the 25-23 win. They seemed to learn their lesson by the fourth set as the Hawks didn't let up when they had the lead, sailing to a 25-12 win to clinch their third set victory. Katie Weese closed out the game with two kills. “We just had to keep doing what we were doing,” Weese said of finally being able to close out the pesky Eagles, who played tougher

Hawks moved to 7-5 on the year and officially locked down the seventh seed in advance of the KASSAA playoffs. They will close out the year against the 8-4 Holy Cross Crusaders this afternoon as a final tune up before the KASSAA quarter-finals on Feb. 17. The top eight teams advance to the playoffs and face off in a win-or-go-home format, vying for a shot to represent the region at EOSSAA and possibly OFSAA. “We know that’s a really tough team,” Lambert said of Holy Cross. “It’s a really big week for us. With
a win we could place higher than we have in a long time. Going into that Holy Cross game, we really want that win.” Though their record may not match those of their possible first round opponents like Regi (12-01), Frontenac (11-1-1) or Bayridge (11-1), the Hawks feel they're capable of an upset. “I think we’re coming together much better as a team,” said Weese, noting a big improvement from the start of the season. In the senior game the Hawks swept away the Eagles in three sets to move to 4-6 on the year. They too are holding down the seventh seed as they prepare to wrap up the regular season this afternoon in Holy Cross. They will also open the playoffs on Feb. 17 against the second seed. NDSS’ boys basketball teams will also close out their season this afternoon by hosting Holy Cross. The seniors can sew up the seventh seed with a win, or drop to eight with a loss. Both teams enter with 3-6 records. The juniors have nothing but pride to play for, entering the game at 1-8 in tenth. On the ice the girls team took on Holy Cross yesterday afternoon. Results were unknown at presstime. With a win the Hawks would clinch the top seed ahead of next week’s playoffs, which start Feb. 17. The boys team roared to an 8-2 win over LCVI on Monday to move to 5-3-1, tied for fourth. They close out the season on Feb. 17 against La Salle before playoffs get underway on Feb. 19.
Napanee Raiders await first-round foe Club drops final two games to finish 22-17-1; still have shot at second BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
chance to guarantee home ice in the opening round of the Empire B League’s Tod Trophy Playoff Championships went squandered by the Napanee Raiders thanks to a pair of losses to close out the regular season. The Raiders blew a 2-0 lead in a 3-2 loss in Picton on Thursday before watching a 1-0 lead disappear in a 2-1 defeat in Amherstview on Sunday. Zack Revell lit the lamp at the 2:38 mark of the sec-
A
ond in Picton to give Napanee the 2-0 edge. Brodie Butt had scored in the first. The Raiders held the Pirates scoreless until just passed the 15 minute mark of the second when Chris Jones broke the shutout. Corey Prince tied the game in the final seconds of the middle frame before Phil Smith put the home team ahead for good midway through the third. Cam Parr took the loss despite stopping 29 shots. Nick Kazmierczak was just a little better for the Pirates, stopping 26 of 28 shots. Sunday the Raiders closed out the regular sea-
son the same way they opened it, taking on the Jets in Amherstview. Evan Brown scored a power-play goal early in the first but was offset by goals from Jordan Howe and Zach Masterson of the Jets. Had Napanee managed to lock down a win in either game they would have assured themselves a second place finish. Instead they’ll need a little help from the rest of the league to hold onto the second seed. Heading into Wednesday night the Raiders were the only team to have played all 40 of their games, finishing the season
at 22-17-1. They can finish no higher than second and no lower than third. Who they face and where their first game of the playoffs will be known by tomorrow night. Depending on how they fared in last night’s game, only Picton has a chance to knock the Raiders into third. Picton entered last night’s game against Campbellford at 20-17-1, trailing Napanee by four points (45-41). If they won last night’s game and then their final meeting against Deseronto, they could tie Napanee.

Atom Crunch take 1-0 series edge over Lindsay Lynx Beaver Sports
The Atom Crunch met the Lindsay Lynx at home for their first playoff game this past Sunday, earning a 4-2 victory. Scoreless until shortly into the second period Hailey Thompson skated one past the Lynx defenseman and buried it past the goalie. Shortly after Saige Pearson picked up a pass from Adrianna Maclean
and slid it past the tender. Lindsay was able to squeeze one past Makenna Marlow but the Crunch answered back with Lila Pringle winding up and stretching the twine. Going into the third period with a 3-1 score the girls continued their strong forecheck but Lindsay was able to again find the back of the net tightening the game up. A goal by Thompson with assists earned by

Rebecca Hannah. It was in the third period that the long drive and shortage of players hit the Lynx. Napanee played fair, but did not give up. Scoring another seven goals in the third period, they definitely gave the Lynx goaltender a workout. Goals were scored by Pringle, Kelsey Vermilyea, Johnston, Hagerman, Brunner, and team captain, Phillips, earned a hat trick. Assists went to Hagerman, Jayna Adrain, McMullen, Johnston and Sutton. The peewees are now waiting on the results between Cold Creek and Peterborough to find out who they face in the next round. n The Napanee Midget Crunch fared well on a busy weekend beginning at home on Thursday where they shut out West Northumberland Wild. Scoring was provided by Liz McAuley, Megan McKee and Sydney Pierce. Although the score indicates the girls handily took the game, there were some highlight reel saves from net minder Sara Kennedy. Next, they would begin their weekend in the Belleville Bearcats New Year’s Classic Tournament on Friday beating Kemptville Storm by Kieran Ward and Shae-Lynn Way each putting one past the Storm’s goaltender to finish ahead, 2-1. Game MVP was awarded to Kailey Deline. In Game 2 the Crunch came out with another win beating Niagara Falls 3-1 after Ellie Hudson, Ward and Suzie Brazda all added a goal. Ward earned the MVP this game. Saturday’s schedule had the Crunch play the
Brockville Angels at noon in tournament play, West Northumberland at 6 p.m. in league play action, then back at tournament play. Their record earned them a shot in the consolation quarter-finals. Brockville came out on top 3-1 by the end despite scoring by Katlyn Babcock. Captain Brazda received the MVP for this game. In regular season play versus Cobourg, the Crunch pulled out a tie. Back at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Complex, quarters paired the Crunch with the Niagara team previously beaten. Napanee came out flying keeping the puck in Niagara’s end for the majority of the game with possession. Niagara Falls had one breakaway to take the game out of reach for the Crunch despite the efforts of all team members’ right till the buzzer. The Crunch finished their regular season play with a 14-4-4 record which earned them third place finish in the standings. Keeping in the single digits for goals against average until the last game of the season proves defense took this team to where they are now. In round one playoff action the sixth place Otonabee Wolverines are paired with the Crunch. Game 1 ended 0-0 at home followed by a 3-0 Crunch loss on the road. The Crunch hope to redeem themselves in the final, must win Game 3. Napanee Stars The Firelight Major Bantams swept Whitby Blue in three games to advance to the quarter-finals of the OMHA playoffs, posting a 4-3 win on Friday. The Wildcats scored

Kristen Sutton and Jaidyn Manion gave the girls a bit of breathing room. Strong forechecking by Abby Kish, Mackenzie Tyner and Breanna Roy made for a successful 4-2 win.

first during a 5-on-3 power play, before Brendan Hagerman answered for the locals. The boys traded goals in the second frame, with Hagerman scoring from Steven Shea and Cal Doyle. Returning for the third deadlocked at two, Kiel Benton beat the goalie on a fine individual move with speed around their defenseman. Minutes later, taking a feed from Adam Doyle, Cal Doyle stepped in, and blasted a shot by their netminder for what turned out to be the winner. The shot totals favoured Napanee, 30-23. Finn Pierce was steady in net. n The Country Traditions Novice A Stars started their OMHA quarter-final playoffs against Cobourg this past weekend. The Stars travelled to Cobourg on Saturday coming away from game one with two points. In a 2-1 win Zered Haller scored first with assists going to Benjamin Buxton and Ethan Boutilier. The second goal was scored by Jayden Holden, assisted by Caleb South and Buxton. Game 2 was a tough battle that included one 10 minute period of OT, ending in a 4-4 tie. Napanee’s first goal came from Buxton scoring from the point with assists going to South and Holden. Other goal scorers were Seth Rivers (two) and Nolan Cardinal. Assists went to Lucas Jarmin (two) and Haller. Napanee leads the series 31 in this six point series. n The Napanee Major Atoms and Port Perry continued their first round clash with on Wednesday. In Game 3 the Stars came out firing opening the scoring at the two minute mark when Ethan Martin buried a rebound from a Ben Albright shot. Two minutes later Braden Bannon scored his first of two on the night and the Stars took a two goal lead into the second. The locals continued the offensive pressure when Albright potted his first of the game then Reid Lambert added a late marker to take a four goal cushion into the final stanza. The Predators came out in the third with some push back but were unable to crack the Stars defense. The Majors rounded out the scoring with Bannon and Albright each getting their second of the night and going on to take 6-0 win and a 2-1 lead in the series. Assisting on the Stars goals was Albright, Bannon, Jakob Dacosta and Payton Clarke with two a piece, Mason Arthur and Zach Slaven with one helper each. Goaltender Ryan Aldridge collected the shutout. On Friday the Major Atoms travelled to Port Perry hoping to close out the series. The game began with the hosts taking control of the contest putting pressure on the locals but were unable to beat Aldridge and the Stars team defence.

MEMORIAMS
CRONK - John Henry, March 27, 1945 - February 17, 2013. Loving husband, father and Pa. It has been 2 years since our world fell apart, Not a day goes by that we don’t miss you, You were our love and our strength, Life goes on but it will never be the same without you, The pain is still so strong, We would love to hear your laugh, Feel your arms around us, See that silly grin of yours, Some day we hope we will see you again. We love and miss you, Dorothy, Clint, Shelley, Amy, Shane, Zack and A.J. PETERS - Frederick C. passed away February 12, 1996. I cannot bring the old days back, Your smile I cannot see, I can only treasure the memories Of days that used to be. Lovingly missed by son Terry. PETERS - In loving memory of our devoted Dad and cherished Pa, Fred, called to Heaven February 12, 1996. Recollections from those who love you, Beautiful memories ever true, In our hearts you live forever, Since we thought the world of you. Forever in our hearts, Cheryl, Dale, Scott, Laura, Ryan and Tiffany.
CARDS OF THANKS
I wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone who called, sent cards and visited me after my heart attack. A special thank you to our great neighbours, Tom and Sandra, who kept our driveway clear of snow and to Colin and Brenda and staff for the wonderful basket of goodies. Hats off to the Emergency Department at Lennox and Addington Hospital, especially Casey, who took such good care of me and got me to Kingston quickly. To all on the Cardiac floor at Kingston General who fixed the problems, my gratitude. Your concern and thoughtfulness was really appreciated. Glen Gillott.
MEMORIAMS
DALE KEVIN BAWN
September 28, 1957 to February 10, 2012 In loving memory of an amazing husband, father, and grandfather. Two hearts that were as one on Earth, Two hearts that were entwined, My love for you was ever strong, Now you live inside my mind. Your lovely life just slipped away, That life so full of zest! Your twinkling eyes got weary, Your beating heart took rest. I know you’ve gone to Heaven, From Earth you slipped away, But faith in my dearest Lord, Keeps me strong each day. Two hearts once beat together, Now one beats all alone, One day we’ll meet again Dear Lord, The day you call me Home.
WAYTE - To our dear son Jeff. Three years have passed And it still seems like yesterday, The heartache is still so painful, Just to hear your voice or see your smile, We miss you so much Jeff, We hope you are at peace my son, You are thought of each and every moment. Love you forever, Mom (Wanda) and Richard Hopkins.
ROANTREE, Gordon “Barry”
In loving memory of a devoted husband and father who died suddenly playing hockey on February 10, 2004. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, Missing you is the hardest part As it never goes away. To hear your voice, To see your smile, To sit with you and talk awhile, Would be our greatest wish. Today, tomorrow, our whole life through, We shall always love and remember you. Forever in our hearts, Anne, Shannon and Ryan, Natalie, Dave, Ben and Molly, Julie, Greg and Sloane, Michael and Lindsey

STARS | Minor Atoms sweep away Toros CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 The contest continued a scoreless affair until the fiveminute mark of the third when Albright beat the Predator tender with a nifty shot to take a one goal lead. Two minutes later Albright potted his second to secure the series win. Assisting for the Stars was Logan Lalande, Clarke and Bannon. Aldridge recorded his second consecutive shutout and third of the series. The Stars will meet Clarington in one of four quarter-final match ups in the Lakeshore Playoffs beginning this weekend at the SPC. n The Gray’s IDA Minor Atom A Stars needed just one more victory to close out
the best of five series against Clarington at the Strathcona Paper Centre, as they looked for a first round sweep in the Lakeshore Playoffs. Despite dismal weather outside the Stars were lit up inside the Strathcona Paper Centre. Carter McKee lead the Stars with a hat trick and a slew of others contributed with multiple points. Goalies Holden Breault and Sam Rickard combined for the shut out in the 9-0 win to close out the series. Goal scorers included Jake Wood, Ethan Sutcliffe (2), Aiden Haller-Brady (2) and Taylor Gilmour. Contributing with assists were Gilmour (2), Gavin Brooks
and Ty Kemp, Jack Madden, Owen Maracle, Daniel Chase along with Brody Beaubien. n The Napanee Minor Bantams travelled to Clarington last Friday, to keep their Lakeshore series alive with a 5-5 tie. Adam Burger scored the tying goal and collected an assist. Corbin Gibson, Keenan Makpah and Cal DuChene each got a goal and an assist. Nate Brant scored once, while Liam Wilkinson, Josh Chadwick and Ethan Armstrong all collected helpers. Although the boys put forth a solid effort, they could not generate the offense and lost 4-0 to end that series at home Saturday night.

CLUES ACROSS
Picton would be given the higher seed based on their 5-3 record against them head-to-head. As for the Jets, they can finish no better than third and could possibly wind up outside of the playoffs altogether. After hovering around the .500 mark for much of the season, the Jets have gotten serious down the stretch. With Sunday's 2-1 win over Napanee, the Jets have now won six straight to move to 21-18, giving them 42 points on the year and currently sitting third. They’ll close out the season tonight in Amherstview against the Port Hope Panthers in what could be a must-win game. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. The Rebels did themselves a big favour on Tuesday, edging the Port Hope Panthers 4-1 to move to 2117-1 heading into Wednesday’s game in Picton. Even with a win, the Rebels
could only match Napanee’s 45 points, but would cede the higher ranking to Napanee by virtue of the Raiders’ 5-3 head-to-head advantage. Port Hope on the other hand has long sewn up the top seed. They will face the fourth seed in the best-ofseven series. The Storm meanwhile may or may not have a game left to play. They closed out their home schedule with a 7-0 loss at the hands of Port Hope on Friday and were beat up 15-0 in Picton on Tuesday. Their Feb. 7 game in Picton was postponed due to weather but could very well just be canceled if it winds up having no bearing on the final standings. The Storm did receive some good news last week however as Brodie Maracle was named the Empire B League’s Player of the Month. He had 10 goals and 22 assists on the season. Raider notes: With 46
points (19 goals, 27 assists) in 37 games, Austin Boulard was the Raiders' top scorer. Keenan Murray was second with 19 goals and 24 assists in 25 games. With 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) Will Peirson was the top scoring defenseman. As a team the Raiders potted 182 goals, second only to Port Hope's 203. This marks the second straight year the Raiders finish with 182 goals scored. In net Cam Parr went 10-7 with a 2.94 goals against and four shutouts. Tomo Mikuljan was 9-6-1 with a 2.57 goals against and four shutouts. Napanee's goaltenders combined to allow 117 goals, second fewest in the league. Should the Raiders earn the second seed, their best-of-seven playoff series would likely begin on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Check the team’s twitter feed @NapaneeRaiders, for confirmation.

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER
NDCC’s annual Sweetheart Dinner last Thursday was a huge success. Sixty ladies were wined and dined by the club’s gentleman curlers who outdid themselves with decorating, cooking, welcoming, serving, and cleaning up. As the ladies entered the club we were welcomed by Robert Hough, George Elvins and Kees VanGent who also were part of the serving crew. On the bar to satisfy thirsts were Jack McNamee and Tom Ayling; while assisting the chef with the cooking was Darrell Pritchard, Ron Reynolds, Ron Menchetti, Rocco Liscio and Andy Graham. Serving the well presented and delicious dinner courses was the aforementioned plus Gary Thompson and Doug Meredith. The emcee and server for the evening, Doug Meredith introduced the host committee of head chef Jim Kennelly and chair Michele Penner along
with committee members Sandy Kennelly, Heather Baker and Robin Stockfish. Congratulations are in order for the team of Heather Ramshaw, Cindy Woodcock, Lana Latimer and Karen Brant for their second place win last Saturday at the Picton Queen of the Castle Bonspiel. Also participating was Louise VanHeighten, Janie Ryan, Jane Pearson and AnneMarie Whalen who curled well but did not quite make the prize table. All in all a great showing from the NDCC. Congratulations also goes to Napanee’s Junior mens team of Keegan Scott, Caleb Posterski, Joey Botting, Jake Anderson and Austin Dunham for making it to the Regionals and representing NDCC by winning one and losing other close games. NDCC’s annual Ladies Club Bonspiel last Sunday was great fun for 32 lady curlers thanks to convenor Moira Sickling and drawmaster Sandy Eastlake. Eight teams of club ladies played two games and had fun throughout
the day and with the rules being club skips could not skip and some of the vices really got some eye opening experience in the house. The winning team of Brenda Kerr, Jane Pearson, Phyllis Babe and Sue Weir thanked all the kitchen crews for serving; morning goodies by Deb Kowalik, Bob St John and lunch by Liz Graham, Cecil Leonard and Dave Whalen. The runner up team behind by just one quarter of a point was Gail Maracle, Debbie Currier, Bonnie McTaggart and Linda Perry who thanked Tom Ayling for keeping glasses topped up and Don Currier for great ice. Karen Brant and Brenda Kerr were the winners of the bottle of wine for being the last player during each game to throw a draw to the button. Sickling thanked all for attending and all the food donators for allowing the servers to dish out such a great meal starting with Karen Brant, Sue Weir, Marilyn Cole, Lana Jaeger, Sandi McNamee, Michele Penner, Shirley Bush, Sandy Eastlake (as well as herself).

Greater Napanee
ABcann moves closer Council approves to marijuana production committee appointments BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Napanee’s ABcann medical marijuana facility has now become a licensed producer for cultivation, bringing it one step closer to becoming fully licensed and able to sell its product. ABcann Medicinals Inc., a licensed producer under the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes regulations. The facility, located in Greater Napanee, at 126 Vanluven Rd., is complete and has begun cultivation. The goal is to deliver fully standardized and validated medical grade cannabis to Canadian patients within the next few months. “We are now ready to start producing medical cannabis. We began cultivation a couple of weeks ago. We’re probably another few months away before we look to open registration for patients and a little bit after that before we start selling our first batch of products,” explained Pradyum Sekar, ABcann marketing manager. The technology used in Napanee’s ABcann facility is second to none, explained Sekar, putting it above other medical cannabis facilities.
“What differentiates this facility from others is specifically how it’s been made up internally and that’s more toward the technology that’s being utilized in the facility,” he said. “ABcann has gone to great lengths to be able to find technology that’s been used in other areas of phytopharmaceuticals to make sure that when we say we’re growing a specific product, within parameters that are set to be standardized, we’re using materials to help create that environment to make that true. The technology that we’re utilizing within our facility is unique to the industry. It has not yet been done within this specific industry and I think that will lend to our ability to be able to deliver our commitment to a standardized product for patients,” said Sekar. ABcann’s technology is based on proprietary, computer-controlled growth chambers. The industryleading technology is used to allow ABcann to develop a fully repeatable growth process. All aspects of the plant life is computer controlled to replicate the natural ecosystem, allowing the same results in each strain from batch to batch.
ABcann currently employs about 27 employees and once the facility is open it should employ up to 40 employees. Sekar said it is hard to tell at this point how many patients the facility will be able to assist but did say there is room for expansion in the future. “We have already purchased another 55-acre plot of land that’s right next to the facility and the goal will be to construct on that facility to help increase capacity so we will be able to take on more patients,” said Sekar. That would be part of a Phase 2 project in the future. Sekar said ABcann hopes to hold some community events, or open houses, in order to engage with the community and answer any questions or concerns members of the public may have. “As a licensed facility, we also want to make sure that our community is aware of who we are, what our facility is, making sure that there’s no confusion as far as risk or safety,” said Sekar. “We want to make the people proud to say that we have a facility with this type of technology within our community,” he added.
More applicants than positions available BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Greater Napanee council appointed new members to three community groups at a special meeting of council recently. More applications than available positions for came in for committee, task force and board positions, which left council with the hard decision in choosing which member(s) will serve on the groups. Council voted members in to the positions by secret ballot at a special council meeting Feb. 3. There were 10 names brought forward for the Community Development Advisory Committee. Council appointed six members, each of which is expected to serve on the committee for two years. Jack Green, Brad Way, Robert Dorey, Charles Milne, Valerie Watts, and Ellen Johnson were appointed to the committee. Jeff Barlow, Steve Medd, Bill Pierson, and Michelle Edgar did not make the cut. This committee focuses on increasing opportunity for development, identifying challenges, bringing forward new funding grants to apply for, discovering the newest research and bringing that forward, creating public awareness, and working with council. The key focus of the group is economic development and quality of life in Greater Napanee. With those in mind, the group seeks out new partners to help the municipality grow. Nine names were brought forward to council to become members of the pool task force. Council appointed seven members,
each of which will sit on the task force for a year. Deb Lowry, Norma Fitchett, Dave Pinnell Jr., Morgan Waddell, Mary Woods, Nicole Martin, and Helen Demers were appointed for the task force. Bill Pierson and Robert Dorey were not chosen by council. The Pool Task Force works with staff and council in “researching community needs, developing a public consultation plan, identify potential partnerships, (and) sourcing private and external financing opportunities.” This group is also responsible for providing information, research and insight for “both year round and seasonal aquatic service provision,” in the municipality, according to the council agenda. Finally, council was forced to vote in only one person out of the 13 who put their names forward for the Police Services Board. This position is a paid appointment and is filled for four years at a time. John Dennis, David Fisher, Pam McCracken, Ron Gillespie, Robert Stanton, Chris Stein, Robert Norrie, Laura Raftis, Karen Muncey, Diane Posterski, Rennie Kutzler, John Deman and Jeff Barlow put their names forward. On the first secret ballot, council narrowed that long list down to McCracken, Stanton, and Deman. On another vote, McCracken was chosen to sit on the board The purpose of the Police Services Board is defined through the Police Services Act. This position deals with performance monitoring, regular reporting, monitoring complaints, and keeping up to date on policing objectives, among other duties.

TAXES | Residents ‘waited long enough’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We are rural residents and therefore deserve the 32 per cent discount on our tax bills, as rural residents in the Napanee policy dictates,” he continued. “We ask that this matter be reinstalled on our final tax bill for 2015. I am not demanding, I’m asking, please. … If you feel that we do not deserve this refund, I feel that you should have told us long ago,” Kellar said. He asked council to move a motion to give clarification to the concerned residents regarding urban and rural tax rates north of Napanee. “This started way back in 2012. This is just a little bit of information for the members of council that haven’t heard this before and for those who maybe have forgotten about it,” said Kellar. “In 2012, I found that I had been paying taxes at an urban rate and by the tax policy, I felt that I should have been getting a 32 per cent rebate,” Kellar explained. In the beginning, Kellar said he approached council to help him with his situation but after speaking with neighbours, he realized there were others facing the same problem. “I was told that there were 40 or 42 residents in my area in the same position as I was. So that was a lot different. I thought it was only me. That made a lot of difference in the story,” he told council. A number of other residents began attending meetings with Kellar. Eventually, a petition was brought to staff and council explaining their concerns. At a June 4, 2013, meeting, council asked staff to prepare a report for the end of August so Kellar, and the other residents, could receive an answer. This resulted in a municipality-wide review. “Nothing really happened until a Sept. 12 meeting, when council decided to do a review of the tax system for the whole area, which I opposed because I felt it was not doing anything for our particular problem in our area,” said Kellar. “I would ask at this time that a member of council put a motion on the table to discuss and settle this matter once and for all,” Kellar said, finishing his deputation at Tuesday’s regular council meeting. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn said he sympathizes with Kellar and those in a similar
situation but said that a solution was not that easy. “This is not an easy situation. We have industrial and commercial businesses out there. If we drop the rural rates out in that area, we lose a lot of money through commercial and industrial business,” said Schermerhorn. “The reason why I feel bad for you Harry, and the group out there, is I think I promised you one council meeting that we would have something in front of us in August. And the service area review was to answer that question for you. The service area review now has been cancelled,” he added. Schermerhorn asked council to move a motion that staff bring forward a report to council by the end of March with all the required information to give Kellar the answers he needs. Schermerhorn said the report should outline, “properties, who is paying urban, who is paying rural, how much money we would lose in industrial and commercial taxes, why the decision was made for that line to be drawn (urban and rural rates),” as well as why the decision was made for different rates. Ward 1 councillor Mike Schenk moved Schermerhorn’s recommended motion, and Ward 3 councillor Roger Cole seconded it. However, Ward 5 councillor, Shaune Lucas, felt council was “jumping the gun” on the issue. “I think we should table this. I think there’s some other business coming up,” said Lucas. “I think taxation policy in general needs to be a bigger discussion,” he added before moving to table the issue. Ward 4 councillor Carol Harvey seconded Lucas’s motion, but the motion was lost since everyone except for Harvey and Lucas were opposed to tabling the issue. “I believe that Mr. Kellar and the folks out there have waited long enough. We need to get them some answers, whether they’re satisfactory answers or not. This is like some other things that got kicked around for a long time because the answer wasn’t simple. I agree with everybody, mostly everybody, around the table, that we need to get an answer one way or the other,” said Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester. Council then passed Schenk’s motion. Mark Day, Greater Napanee director of finance, said a report would be brought to council by the end of March.

SOLAR | Decommissioning a concern CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I also read that the height is seven metres high, 20 feet, and they’re putting up a six foot fence with trees and shrubs. I don’t see how that’s going to be much of a buffer for something 21 feet in the air,” Harvey added. Peter Dafoe, infrastructure services general manager, said decommissioning is included in the plan but it is hard to determine an actual cost at this point, since recycling costs could change. “What’s available 20 years from now as far as recycling technologies could be quite different from what there is today. In the other sites we have in Napanee there are no commissioning securities posted,” said Dafoe. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn said he does have some hesitation regarding solar farms for just that reason — not knowing what will happen to them when they are no longer useful. “That’s a concern of mine with these solar farms. All over the province, what is going to happen in 25 years when companies walk away from them and there they are and they’re falling apart and everything else. The province, as far as I’m concerned, is getting into one heck of a mess,” said Schermerhorn. As far as the buffer goes, Ward 3 councillor Roger Cole said it is a non-issue because building a larger buffer would defeat the purpose of the solar panels. “You can’t have the buffer for the solar panels higher than the solar panels or the panels are useless. The buffer is basically just something for a visual, to keep it pretty, if you will. But if you go and build a great big fence 23 feet high, then there’s no sun getting at the solar panels, so they’re useless,” explained Cole.
Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser said he wonders whether reflection off the solar panels is something council should consider looking into. “One of my concerns about the location, and maybe the buffer, is for reflective light for the traffic. When you’re driving northwesterly, there could be a good amount of light reflected back at the driver and even the houses. I think that’s a concern that needs to be addressed with the buffer, if possible,” said Kaiser. Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery said Lennox and Addington County is reviewing the solar panel project and reflection should be part of that review. However, Schermerhorn said the Town of Greater Napanee is needs to ensure reflection is not an issue prior to the solar panels being installed. “What (Kaiser) is saying about reflection, I think we better be pretty sure there isn’t going to be reflection coming over the bridge there. I know the county might be reviewing it but I think we better be paying attention to that pretty closely,” advised Schermerhorn. Harvey said she felt the issue should be tabled so council could re-evaluate its concerns when more information is brought forward; however, Schermerhorn felt the project should move forward. “This property has been sold for that purpose. We sold it to them two or three years ago for that purpose. “I think we are going to have to cover our bases and make sure everything is done properly. I don’t want to get into a situation where we’re holding a company up but we certainly want to make sure it’s done properly,” said Schermerhorn. Council received for information the Sentinel Solar project draft plan.

HOMEFINDER / RE5
Home features that are disappearing MCC - There is no denying the profound impact that the recession has had on the real estate industry. For the last several years, the real estate market went from booming to one characterized by homes sitting on the market for months on end. New home sales also have been conservative, and builders are cutting back on some offerings that were once commonplace. The National Association for Realtors says that, despite floundering sales, there are fewer foreclosed homes available now than in recent years. Distressed homes -- foreclosures and short sales sold at deep discounts -- accounted for 25 percent of homes sales in May of 2012. That figure is down from 28 percent in April and 31 percent in May of 2011. While home sales have in-
creased, money is still tight in the building industry and among home buyers. As such, instead of over-the-top features in homes that were once becoming the norm, builders are now focusing on more value-conscious designs and offerings. The list of add-ons also has been reduced. So what can buyers expect to live without when buying a newly constructed home? Here are a few of the common features that are falling by the wayside. Sunrooms: Although the "bring-theoutside-in" movement was once strong, builders are now focusing on home features that immediately add value and attract the eye of buyers. Therefore, they're putting their resources into linen closets and laundry rooms while de-emphasizing sunrooms.

Tall ceilings in family rooms are being eschewed in favor of smaller, more intimate spaces. Extended ceiling heights: It can take a lot of energy to heat rooms with 15-foot ceilings. As a result, grandiose family rooms and two-story foyers are less attractive to buyers focused on saving money. Homeowners want

spaces that are easier to heat and cool. Luxury bathrooms: Many private residence luxury bathrooms rival those found at popular 4-star hotels. But luxury bathrooms are being phased out in
favor of less expensive, more practical options. Outdoor kitchens: Although entertaining at home is one way to keep budgets in check, some homeowners have realized they don't need a complete backyard kitchen with a pizza oven and brick fireplace in order to host guests. According to a survey from the National Association of Home Builders, outdoor kitchens are the second least-likely feature to be included in homes built today. Media rooms: Individuals certainly love their gadgets, but many of these gadgets have become smaller and more portable. That reduces the need for giant home theatres and gaming spaces. While certain features are disappearing, there are oth-
