Hydro One vows to sort out billing issues Ont. investigates new system BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

MPP Randy Hillier said he was pleased when Ontario ombudsman André Marin agreed to investigate Hydro One’s new billing

practices, but even more so when Hydro One authorities promised to fix the problem. On Feb. 4, while at a Queen’s Park conference, Marin announced investigations on Hydro One’s billing would take place after Marin received hundreds of complaints regarding the new billing system introduced last May.

Marin sent a letter to Carmine Marcello, president and CEO of Hydro One, on Feb. 3, detailing why the investigation would be taking place. “I am writing to advise you of my intention to pursue an investigation into the transparency of Hydro One Inc.’s customer billing practices and the timeliness and effectiveness of

their process for responding to billing concerns,” the letter read. “It’s nice to see that the ombudsman has agreed to investigate Hydro One,” said Hillier, on Feb. 4. On Feb. 5, Marcello responded to Marin by letter regarding the issue and said Hydro One intends to cooperate to help resolve the issue.

“Let me start by offering you my complete cooperation and support and that of my staff during the course of your investigation. You should not hesitate to contact me directly if there are issues that are not being resolved to your satisfaction,” Marcello’s letter, on behalf of Hydro One, read. “I think you hit on a

Hillier pens letter demanding answers to propane shortage Canadian Propane Association cites extreme winter and increased demand as major factors

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

n extreme winter has resulted in a propane shortage throughout Eastern Ontario. MPP Randy Hillier has written a letter to Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli to express his extreme displeasure with the Min-

istry’s handling of the situation. “Propane industry experts are in chaos over this shortage, and aren’t able to provide the public or elected representatives with an explanation of the cause of the shortage,” explained Hillier in a press release. “How are we supposed to make reasonable

and informed decisions when the industry is unable to clearly explain what the difficulty is?” In his letter to the minister, Hillier asked the minister to provide the public with more transparency on the issue and providing updates on the shortage continuously. “I am extremely disappointed that your Ministry has not adequately responded to this crisis. At a minimum you could be providing the public with frequent updates on any progress the industry is making to resolve the current problems. We have people, some of whom have had no propane for three weeks, and frankly their plight doesn’t appear to concern you very much at all. For that I believe you owe the public both an apology and an explanation. To make matters worse, those who are able to get a bit of propane have seen the price as much as double,” Hillier’s letter reads. Allison Mallette, Canadian Propane Association communications coordinator, said unexpectedly cold temperatures have resulted in the shortage. “This has been an unusually long and harsh winter and it has caused the demand for propane to spike significantly. The weather has caused

increased demand and has presented delivery challenges in some cases. Logistics and transportation have been strained by the extreme weather conditions and our industry is mindful of delivering their product safely,” she explained.

“To make matters worse, those who are able to get a bit of propane have seen the price as much as double.” Randy Hillier, MPP “It is worth noting that this weather was not anticipated, last fall Environment Canada was forecasting an average winter. Currently, we are only aware of a few isolated cases where propane refills have been delayed in some areas of Eastern Ontario and Quebec. Every stakeholder is working diligently, from producers to rail to pipeline to trucking to retailers, to meet the increased demand.” Mallette also noted

improvements are beginning to develop as temperatures “level out” and demand is returning to normal. However, she said it depends on the length and severity in temperature of the winter to determine when things will be completely back to normal. “Overall our industry is doing a good job meeting demand, however there have been isolated cases where propane refills have been slightly delayed,” she said. “Typically Canada produces more propane than Canadians consume. North America is undergoing one of its coldest winters in 20 years and no one could have predicted the level of demand we are currently experiencing.” However, propane shortages weren’t Hillier’s only concern; his letter also stated propane prices have increased significantly when the shortage hit. A press release from Hillier’s office stated people have been paying as much as $1.14/litre, which is double last year’s price. “Unlike gasoline, oil, natural gas and electricity, there is little to no reporting mechanism for propane production, demand, imports or exports, and as a result, the public has no way of finding out what’s really going on,” added

Hillier. “The Minister does not seem to appreciate the magnitude of this crisis and the impacts it’s having on rural Ontario households; he’s either ignorant of the impacts this is having, or doesn’t care about rural families....I’m demanding that he do better.” Mallette said the CPA does not monitor or provide propane prices and is not in a position to comment on the issue but encourages those with concerns to contact their propane supplier directly. “The propane market is part of an integrated North American market. There are many factors that affect propane prices, one being supply and demand balance,” explained Mallette. “Historically prices are higher in the winter due to higher demand, and this year we are seeing one of the coldest winters in 20 years. Typically, prices decline as temperatures rise,” she continued. “This is not unique to propane; other commodities such as natural gas, oil and electricity are also up.” More information can be found on the CPA website, www.propane.ca.

week long camp is $200 per kid, which includes instructions from former Napanee Raiders’ Chris Brown and Hagerman, members of the current team and three hours of daily ice time. “The focus will be on skills and having fun,” said Hagerman. “We’ll do some off ice stuff as well. There will be two groups, a junior group and a senior group.” Members of the town’s youth programs will look after the off ice training. To register for the program either drop by the SPC or visit the town’s website at estore.greaternapanee.com.

1 p.m. to 3 p.m. with entertainment running from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Lafarge Banquet Hall. Donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted at the door. “(Lisa Hart) does lots of interactive things to get the kids up and moving around,” said Hagerman. “It’s not just sitting around and watching, it’s involved and interactive.” And for those looking for something to do for the March Break the town will once again have plenty to offer, this time in the form of a hockey camp.

Jail and bail to raise money for park revamp Staff Reporter

ock arrests of council and other dignitaries in the Town of Deseronto will commence later this month to help raise funds for the Centennial Park Revitalization Project. A Jail & Bail fundraiser, followed by spaghetti dinner, is set for Feb. 22, from 1-7 p.m. at the Deseronto Community Centre. “This is our first Jail and Bail for the Centennial Park project,” explained Dana Valentyne, community development office for the Town of Deseronto and volunteer on the Centennial Park Fundraising Committee. “We’re arresting everyone beforehand so everyone is going to know that

they’re arrested and they’ll have a certain amount of bail to raise. It will give the arrestees an opportunity to raise their bail so that come the day of the arrest, the hope is that they’ll have raised the amount they’ll need,” said Valentyne. Every council member, including Mayor Norm Clark, will be arrested. Other local personalities required to raise bail will include business owners and managers and wellknown community members. Valentyne said about 20 people will be arrested and seeking bail money. Bail will be different for different people, explained Valentyne. The mock judge will decide which mock criminals will be sentenced to a higher bail requirement based on what the judge feels that person can raise. Valentyne expects

most bails will range between $100-$400. Sentencing will occur at the Community Centre at 1 p.m. and then arrestees will have until 4 p.m. to raise their bail. A spaghetti dinner fundraiser will take place after the event, from 5-7 p.m., with proceeds also going toward Centennial Park revitalization. Tickets for the dinner are $8 for adults and $6 for children 10 years old and younger. Dinner will include spaghetti, Caesar salad, garlic bread and dessert, all made by local Centennial Park Fundraising Committee volunteers. The entire Centennial Park Revitalization Project has been estimated at $197,500. The fundraising committee originally set out to raise $45,000 and has already raised $32,000.

EDITORIAL

Olympic stories shine through t’s easy to cynical about the Olympics.

They’re too corporate — with all the games’ official sponsors, the whole thing can seem like a gigantic commercial. They’re too expensive — the Russians are going to spend an estimated $80 billion to put on the spectacle in Sochi (money which has been used to a varying degree of effectiveness, according to accounts). The entire exercise can at times appear like a celebration of excess in the name of sports. That being said, the Olympic Games — winter or summer — always make for some compelling stories that swell our national pride and provide inspiration to budding young athletes. We’ve seen some even before the first week of the Sochi Games was done. The fact that Canada was at or near the top of the medal standings, in front of Winter Olympics superpowers like Germany, the U.S. and host Russia, is probably the most notable. Ever since the federal government decided to put more money toward elite amateur athletics through the Own the Podium program, the financial support has translated into results for Canadian athletes. Now, is that money well spent? If it isn’t, we haven’t heard too many people complaining. As we’ve said before, the Olympics do provide fuel for those looking to mimic their Olympic heroes’ success. In their post-competition interviews, more often than not Canadian athletes point to previous Olympians whose performances spurred their own love of sport. Then there are Canadian examples of the true ‘Olympic Spirit’. Like when earlier this week a coach for Team Canada, Justin Wadsworth, rushed out on the course of a cross-country skiing competition to offer a new ski to a Russian athlete whose ski had been damaged. With the new ski under foot, the Russian was able to complete the race. When, in previous Olympics (but hopefully not these games), athletes have cheated in order to get a leg up on the competition, it’s nice to see competing teams actually help each other. So, for all their faults, the Olympic Games still capture our attention in positive ways. The next week or so will be fun to watch. Although my name is still on the masthead below, it’s been several weeks since I’ve truly been a full-time member of the Beaver staff. Due to a serious but thankfully nearly subdued illness, I’ve been scarcely seen at the Beaver office. Hopefully, I’ll be back in my chair full-time very soon. Over the course of the past few months I’ve counted on the support of family and friends, not the least of which have been my fellow staffers at the Beaver who have ably filled in for me while I’ve been recovering. For all the help I’ve been given, I am truly thankful. Seth DuChene

Letter to the Editor

What’s up with the Police? ecently I was headed north out of Napanee on 41 Hwy following one of Napanee’s (I’m assuming) police officers driving an SUV pulling a skidoo trailer behind. He had pulled out in front of me from the PetroCan gas station and by the time I reached Goodyear Road he was already around the corner out of sight. Now, I was travelling at around 90 kms/hr so I can’t imagine how fast he was going. When I got around the corner headed for Selby, he was already past the Selby turn-off. When I came to the “S” in the road after Selby he was already around them.

I saw him once again on the straight stretch by Selby School and he was hitting the side of the road with the trailer and it was swaying all over the place! This certainly indicated to me that he was travelling way too fast while pulling a heavy trailer behind! My question is, why do the police think they don’t have to follow the rules of the road? All of the rest of us do! I’ve seen them make turns without signalling, pull out in front of people cutting them off and numerous other road offences. I understand that sometimes there are emergencies and they

Napanee has some of the worst drivers in Canada, in my opinion, and I’ve lived all across Canada so have a pretty good idea of what constitutes good driving and bad. How can the OPP expect regular drivers to follow the rules when they so blatantly ignore them? Michelle Bowes Napanee

Love is in the air alentine’s Day is a day of celebration between lovers or couples. Valentine’s Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. A popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome states that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, sending greeting cards and offering confectionary. Most people would reply that they do not believe in Valentine’s Day as every day can be a valentine’s day and you don’t need a day to celebrate this magnificent thing called love. If you have a flair for romance, go ahead and use it in your home. Why not decorate your bedroom on Valentine’s Day and treat your partner with serendipity. Romantic is a traditional, relaxing style that charms the senses through silk, satin, floral patterns, soft colour palettes and painted or vintage pieces of furniture. This style is all about setting the mood in your bedroom by filtering light through sheer curtains and using soft bedding. If you want to add some romance to your bedroom, follow these simple tips and

you’ll be falling in love with your room all over again. Choose neutral colours without going too bold. Muted or subdued shades envelope rooms with softness. Add splashes of brighter colours with pillows, rugs and flower arrangements. Decorate with soft and alluring fabrics. Soft fluffy cushions and pillows are essential if you want your room to feel welcoming. Pile quilts on your bed or use plush duvet covers. Invest in fabrics that feel good for a charming experience. Adding an interesting texture for bedding is also equally important. Faux Fur, velvet and velour are soft, rich fabrics that can make beautiful bedding, blankets or throw pillows. Select comfortable and relaxed furnishings. The romantic style is informal with an emphasis on ease. Look for pieces that are worn or distressed and don’t worry about repainting them. The aged look fits

well into the soothing and relaxed atmosphere of romantic design. Choose soft lighting for an inviting atmosphere. Overhead lighting is generally harsh, so avoid it, if possible. Instead opt for table and floor lamps that give off a warm glow. Another option for dreamy lighting is wall sconces. Use candles for low lighting. Candles evoke feelings of intimacy. They also let the stress run away and make your eyes focuses on the pulchritude of your love and the candle light. They should be grouped together in many corners of the room for the best effect. Also placing mirrors in such a way that it will reflect the softened light. This will give more depth to your room. Hang window treatments that enhance a soft and soothing nature. Select window treatments that are plush, alluring and dark so they can curb lights from traffic or any sort of external noise from intervening

in the romantic mood that is created. Matching the window dressings to your bedding will make a lot of difference to the whole look of the bed and room, thus adding a buzz to the romantic appeal of the room. One important tip is to eliminate clutter; nothing kills romance faster than clutter. So find appropriate storage spaces for papers, spare change, and other excess. If you have a small bedroom, eliminating clutter will make your bedroom look larger. Add your own personal touches to your room. Hang your favourite paintings or photos. Place a vase containing fresh flowers on your bedside tables, or display sculptures and fig-

urines that reflect your personality and feelings. Sounds and scents round out the ultimate mood enhancers. Playing some soft romantic music and sensual scents will add a romantic zing as good romantic music really turns on the romantic corner of one’s mind. Don’t forget the chocolates and champagne as you enjoy your alluring new romantic room. I want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day and especially to my amazing husband and three wonderful kids- Pareza, Ethan and Oliver. I Love You!

Celebrating Freedom to Read Week aving the freedom to read whatever you choose is a right that should never be taken for granted. Even in Canada, a free county by world standards, books and magazines are sometimes banned at the border. School and libraries are regularly asked to remove certain titles from their collections and free expression on the Internet often falls under attack. Freedom to Read Week (February 23 - March 1) is intended to remind and encourage people to reaffirm their commitments to intellectual freedom. The County of Lennox & Addington Libraries, like all modern public library systems, does not take this commitment likely. We strive to keep our collection as well-rounded as possible in order to serve the needs of all of our patrons – and sometimes this means

Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes including items that may be considered controversial. This is not intended to be offensive or provocative; it is simply a matter of inclusivity. After all, you do not know for what purpose a person needs a book for; it could be for personal or scholarly research, enjoyment, or merely to satisfy a curiosity. Some libraries have had some interesting (and absurd) book controversies in the past. For example, the well-loved juvenile fiction series Junie B Jones was challenged in North Carolina because the protagonist’s troublemaking and mouthiness; Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl was

challenged in Virginia because of its sexual material; Eyewitness Books (science books for a juvenile audience) have been challenged in several states because they do not deny evolution. Perhaps the strangest challenge of all was against the MerriamWebster Dictionary for its inclusion of a definition for oral sex. You do not have to live in the southern United States to see culturally significant books come under fire. In Canada, some popularly protested books include The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, Ulysses by James Joyce and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess – and yes, the L&A Libraries system owns these titles. Thanks to intellectual freedom, it is entirely up to you to decide whether or not to read them.

Birds did not fare well last month great blue heron that chose, for reasons best known to itself, to challenge the rigours of winter, has died. The large, gangly bird that was first seen at various locations through December was presumed to be the same individual each time, as blue herons normally migrate south to areas that are free of ice and snow. They need to as they depend on the shallows of lakes, rivers and creeks to provide food for sustenance, and don’t have much luck in deeper water. Around the Quinte region, the shallows are the first to surrender to cold temperatures. However, great blue herons in past winters have managed somehow to make it through a normal winter, by mapping out all the flowing creeks, springs and other open spots that might contribute something in the way of a meal, and visiting them every day. Herons are long distance feeders so it’s nothing for them to travel up to 30 km a day in their search for food. It can be mighty slim pickings, but many do make it to see the arrival of spring. This particular great blue heron though chose the wrong winter to flirt with death. It was seen by many motorists in a microscopic open spot in a frozen pond along County Road 34, just north of Picton on January 22nd. According to a passing bus driver the next morning, it was looking

“mighty tough”. Temperatures that week hovered around the minus 20 degree mark. A photo emailed to me that day confirmed its condition. Standing on one leg as herons often do, the feathers were scraggly and ruffled and its head was not visible, so deeply was it buried in its frontal feathers. The long wings were hunched up over its shoulders, the tips of them hanging loosely by its sides, almost touching the ground. The unfortunate bird somehow managed to generate enough will power and strength to continue its rounds and had departed by early evening. Three days later, the bird was seen, again hunched over like an old man dressed in a trench coat, in a wetland area between Cherry Valley and Milford. As arrangements were being made to capture the bird and render some professional assistance, the bird, now weakened beyond recovery, was found dead. We will never know why this great blue heron did not migrate last fall. Scientists who study the migratory vagaries of birds believe it may be due to something as simple as a short circuit in the migratory programming of certain individuals within a species. Or, it may be due to the heron being just plain ornery. Whatever the reason, many of these normally migratory birds simply do not make it and it may

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles very well be Nature’s way of ensuring a strong migratory instinct in birds by weeding out some of those whose programming has been compromised. It has been a tough winter on birds so far. The irruption of snowy owls in eastern Ontario, the largest influx of these Arctic birds in four decades, seems to be doing okay. There are a dozen or so in Prince Edward County right now and at least two have been quite dependable in the Wellington area. Another chose Oliver

Sideroad east of Deseronto, and has been quite content there for several weeks. Amherst Island has a large number, also Wolfe Island and to a lesser extent, Presqu’ile Park. However, due to the deep snow and icy conditions, it hasn’t been easy for them to locate meadow voles and other small prey. The great gray owl at Wellington has selected the Fields of West Lake event centre as its home base and has been present there in the same fields since initially being discovered January 10th. An eastern screech-owl, however, seen north of Wellington, did not make it. After being found seeking shelter under a sundeck from the frequent snowsqualls off the lake a week ago, it died of starvation. The bird was emaciated and nothing but skin and bones, reported the observer. Another unidentified owl in the Bancroft area, said to be acting in a bizarre manner, was challenging passersby and attacking small pets. The majority believed the bird was starving and seeking out anything that moved and protecting its intend-

ed quarry from what it perceived could be a threat to its potential food source. While efforts were underway by the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee to find someone to capture the bird and bring it to the Centre for treatment, the bird was dispatched. End of “problem”. For most songbirds though, there have been no problems as there is an excellent crop of wild fruits and berries on the trees this winter to sustain them. Unlike most winters, there is no competition either this winter from influxes of boreal finches as redpolls, crossbills and others simply did not appear in our area this year in appreciable numbers. There was plenty of food in the northern forests to keep them there. However, for hawks and owls, this has been a winter to remember, if they survive it and live to see another.

Healing Powers of Pruning L

O O K I N G

A C K

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 13, 1964 n Napanee Town Council expected to raise $645,496 for the year of 1964. Of that total, $467,291 was expected to come from taxes. The residential tax rate increased from 66 to 68.5 mills while the industrial tax rate went from 73.3 to 76.4 mills. n Napanee District Secondary School’s budget was up $60,000 compared to the previous year, jumping to $555, 818. An increase of enrollment, up to 1,200, was expected to help cover the cost and keep municipal levies pretty much in line with those of 1963. n A member of the Napanee Beaver staff, Edwin Winter, discovered a pleasant surprise while cleaning out his house. He uncovered a box of Gold Flage cigarettes with an amber mouth piece, made by the Globe Tobacco Co. of Windsor, as well as a hand made cigar. The house had previously belonged to Winter’s grandparents.

35 Years Ago February 13, 1979 n A Millhaven Institution inmate briefly escaped in Napanee while he was being escorted to Provincial Court. An OPP spokesperson said the inmate slipped his leg shackles and handcuffs off when the van door was opened and fled. He was recaptured in a store on the corner of Dundas Street and Centre Street, causing quite the scene in the downtown. A charge of escaping lawful custody was added to the arson charge he was already facing stemming from an incident inside the prison. He was serving a life sentence for murder and armed robbery. n Napanee OPP Cst. Fred Huizenga was absolved of any blame after an investigation into an incident in which the officer twice shot a suspect near Erinsville. It was determined that the officer acted in self-defense during the Jan. 1 incident. The suspect was shot twice in the leg but recovered in hospital. n Dismantling of the old Hwy 2 bridge got underway. The new bridge opened just to the west of the old structure. n Napanee’s Robert Wartman and his Kingston Curling Club teammates headed to Noranda, Que to represent Ontario at the Canadian Curling Championships. He played vice on the team that was skipped by Bill Lewis.

very year, I receive questions through my website about pruning/repairing winter damaged trees. The questions are arriving earlier this year due to the extreme weather we have experienced across Canada. Someday soon the effects of this winter on the trees in your neighbourhood and yard will reveal themselves in all of their fullness. All we need is a good old-fashioned Spring thaw. As the snow and ice disappear, many thoughts will run through the heads of real estate owners, especially those with mature trees on their property. Will I clean up the mess myself or call in a professional? What do I do with damaged trees and shrubs that do not require removal? How do I prune them to greatest effect for the long-term health and appearance of the tree/shrub? I am here with another ‘fridge magnet’ story that you may want to hang onto for that day when favourable weather conditions and personal ambition intersect. For me, this will occur while holding my second cup of coffee and staring out the kitchen window perusing the ‘ice storm mess’ before me. This is a story for the ‘do-ityourselfer’. Pruning 101.

What tools do I need? Hand pruners. These are for light work. Use hand pruners for shaping existing tree branches and for reaching into young, woody growth to remove one to three year old growth that has bent over and broken under the weight of the ice. Good quality hand pruners run between $25 and $80. Pruning saw. Forget the cross-cut and the rip saw in the basement, a pruning saw is designed for the unique purpose of cutting through green, living wood. It has teeth that are arranged alternately so that you get a ‘purchase’ on the wood on the fore stroke and the backstroke. This way you use less energy when cutting branches and limbs. A hand-held pruning saw will cut wood up about 10 cm [4 inches] in diameter, sometimes larger, depending on the wood. A soft wood like linden, up to 15 cm or 6 inches in diameter, for example, can be pruned nicely with a pruning saw. The secret to a truly effective cut [and with the least amount of effort] is a sharp saw. If you have an old one, either sharpen it, replace the blade or buy a

stand more upright as the sap rises. Prune for Shape. After repair of damaged wood is considered, you should ‘prune for shape’. In other words, think about the ultimate look that you are trying to achieve with each permanent plant in your yard. This is an opportunity for you to get it right for the long run. With this in mind, stand back from each specimen and study it with an eye to achieving the look that you want. It is very handy to have some hair cutting experience in your background, but even if you don’t, chances are you have had a few haircuts in your time. Ask yourself, “What is the hairdresser/barber thinking when they approach the task of cutting my hair?” The answer can be quite informing where pruning is concerned. Finally, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of caution. Do not over extend yourself or the capabilities of your tools. If you harbor doubt with regards to your ability to prune damaged trees and shrubs, either seek help from someone more experienced or call in an arborist for a consult. There is a reason why a certified arborist has extensive education and training: they learn how to maximize the life of a tree, in spite of the damage that may have occurred to it. There is a lot of value in what they do and they deserve every cent that they earn. Mark Cullen appears on Canada AM every Wednesday morning at 8:40.

Grade 6 students of Southview Public School were presented with their OPP Kids Program diploma last week after successfully completing the new program. Lead by Napanee OPP Cst. Jackie Perry, the students discussed topics such as internet safety and when to seek police assistance. Each student received a t-shirt, which was sponsored by the local Lion’s Club as well as a coupon for a free hot chocolate from Mac’s.

In another letter Marcello wrote, intended for Hydro One customers, he promises all billing issues will be resolved. “At the end of the day, we will make this right and our customers will only pay for the electricity they use,” Marcello wrote. Hydro One chair James Arnett later announced that management would be held responsible for errors, including incorrect billing

and overcharging tomers.

“Our customers will only pay for the electricity they use.” Carmine Marcello, Hydro One President and Ceo Hillier said that under close watch of the ombudsman, he hopes Hydro One will be forced to clear the

issues once and for all. “That’s a big, big plus. We’ve got another very opaque bureaucracy that treats people very poorly who are now going to be in the targets and in the sights of the ombudsman, so that’s a good thing.” Premier Kathleen Wynne also commented on the issue, stating the Ontario government plans to work closely with the ombudsman to ensure the issue is properly resolved. On Feb. 6, Marcello visited a call centre and Customer Resolution Centre to meet with staff and listenin on calls in order to gain more insight on the issue.

Kathy Gardner, also with unanimous nomination and approval. Smith said she received the award for her “admirable” involvement with the Legion of the past few years. “It’s an accumulation of many years,” he said. “Kathy is involved in membership, poppies, the fair booth, Veterans wall downstairs, inventory of

the Legion, raffles, food, Kathy is involved with anything with the Legion and it gives us great pleasure in providing her with Legionnaire of the Year,” said Smith. Recognition was also given to Richard Babcock for receiving the Certificate of Merit, as well as Anne Gunter and Jack Magilton each for receiving Branch Service Medals.

or the first time, the Napanee Business Improvement Area is producing local calendars that highlight community events and important dates. Tom Coke, BIA manager, said the BIA hopes to launch the calendars in April. “One of the things we’re working on this year is a new calendar, and it’s going to be released this spring. It’s going to list all the different events that are going on in Napanee, which is something a lot of people and BIA members have really talked about, to increase organizational makeup of events and make it as efficient as possible,” said Coke. Downtown business owners have come together to plan a number of downtown sales events, which Coke said would also be highlighted in the calendar. “I know there’s a group

of downtown merchants that is going to be doing some great sales events; they’re going to have a great Valentine’s Day event next week. That’s an event that the BIA is sponsoring as well.” He said these sales events are not “large scale, massive, Big Bright Lights Show events,” but are designed to bring people downtown and promote shopping local. They hope to increase traffic and raise awareness as to what downtown has to offer. “They’re just really cool sales events that the BIA can promote and advertise to get people in to different stores,” said Coke. The calendar is not a “hard copy calendar,” explained Coke, but has been organized by the BIA to ensure locals are aware of events in their community and can come out and support local merchants, organizations and events. The calendars have been funded through the BIA and will be available completely free of charge to the public.

5 THINGS THAT CAN RUIN YOUR CREDIT RATING

ARE YOU UNINTENTIONALLY RUINING YOUR CREDIT RATING? AVOID THESE FIVE FINANCIAL MISTAKES TO KEEP YOUR CREDIT SCORE IN CHECK.

ost people don't pay much attention to their credit rating, but they should. If you want to buy a house, own a credit card or get a line of credit, among other things, you need to be able to prove that you pay your bills on time. A lot of people ruin their credit rating for no good reason. They miss payments or do other, completely preventable things that hurt their credit history. Here are five things you may be doing to ruin your credit rating. Avoid these financial mistakes and the banks will be begging you to let them give you loan. 1. MISSING

PAYMENTS

TWO MORTGAGE

If you've got a good credit history, most financial institutions will let you miss

one mortgage payment. (You'll still owe the money, they'll just let you pay it later.) Some may let you skip more. But, be careful. In many cases missing two payments can give your credit history a black mark.

2. GETTING TOO MANY CREDIT CHECKS

Some people get multiple credit checks in one year. You might apply for a credit card, buy a car and purchase a house all within 12 months. That's a problem: Credit agencies don't like when too many people are looking into your background. It raises red flags and questions, mainly, why are you tapping into so much credit in such a short period of time? Two credit checks in one year is fine; three could have a negative affect on your rating.

3. NOT USING CREDIT CARDS This one may seem counterintuitive, but if you've never owned any credit instruments, then you don't have a credit history. That can present problems when you're trying to buy a house or car. Companies like to see that you have good credit -if you've never paid a credit card bill in your life, then how can they see that you can handle a loan? Get one card and pay it off every month. That helps you build a credit rating, which will help you buy those big-ticket items, such as a home. 4. SHOULDERING

DEBT

difficult to pay them off. If you skip a bill, then your credit rating will definitely be affected. But so can having five credit cards all with huge balances. Sure, you may pay the minimum, but at some point it'll be impossible to borrow money -- you just won't have enough cash to go around.

5. NOT

PAYING QUICKLY ENOUGH

DEBT

OFF

Credit agencies like to see that you're paying off your debt in a reasonable amount of time. If you have a credit card that's been carrying a $10,000 balance for years, then you could have problems. It's not an issue if you have a balance and pay it off every month -- that's good

for your credit rating -- but carrying balances indefinitely shows you may have a problem paying off a loan. Even missing one bill payment can have a devastating affect on your credit rating. So make sure to pay your bills on time and avoid these other financial mistakes that can ruin your credit rating.

Goodfellow named 4-H ambassador Napanee teen is one of six across Ontario

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A member of Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local Lennox and Addington 4-H Club has been named one of the six 4-H Ontario 2014 Youth Ambassadors. The youth will attend the Ambassador Reception tomorrow, where the six youth ambassadors will be formally recognized. Sarina Goodfellow, 19, from Napanee, has been an active participant in the L&A 4-H Club for eight years. She has completed 36 projects and is a youth director on the L&A board. Goodfellow said her 4H involvement has led her to attend a number of events, which has helped her to gain confidence and other personal skills, as well as acquiring many 4-H awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have attended many 4-H opportunities such as Ignite Leadership Camp, Judge It Day - an exchange to Keswick Ridge New Brunswick, Go for the Gold competition and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair to show my calf,â&#x20AC;? explained Goodfellow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have also won the Gay Lea award and the Basil Kelly Scholarship,â&#x20AC;?

she said, stating she has also volunteered throughout the community, including for Relay for Life, church dinners and teaching local dance classes. When asked why she wanted to become a 4-H Ontario Ambassador she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would allow me to spread the word about 4-H and how it can be life changing and an amazing experience.â&#x20AC;? Goodfellow is currently attending the University of Guelph â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kemptville Campus, pursuing her Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management, majoring in equine management. The other five 4-H Ontario ambassadors are: Paul Knoops from the Oxford 4-H Association, Kate Higgins of the Huron 4-H Association, Chris DeKlein from the Middlesex 4-H Association, Brooke Thompson from the York 4-H Association, and Tamara Hamilton from the Russell 4-H Association. The six 4-H Ontario youth ambassadors were chosen by a panel of judges last month and announced on Jan. 27. The 4-H Ontario Ambassador program provides youth with advanced level training in leader-

ship, citizenship, communications and public relations. Ambassadors put their energy and 4-H experiences to work recruiting new members and sharing the 4-H experience with others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 4-H Ontario Ambassadors are an integral part to the promotion of 4-H to current and potential volunteers, members and stakeholders by travelling across the province to a variety of events,â&#x20AC;? said Marianne Fallis, senior manager for 4-H Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team of ambassadors (will) carry on the tradition of exceptional youth who are passionate about sharing the many experiences and opportunities the 4-H Ontario program has to offer,â&#x20AC;? she went on. The 4-H Ontario program is a grassroots organization of leaders building leaders that includes youth participants, aged six to 21. Through the 4-H experience, members learn to do by doing and build valuable skills that will help them reach their full potential to become conscious, contributing citizens.

DJs starting after 10 p.m. “It’s not geared only toward brides but also to the grooms and the mothers of the brides and the whole wedding party,” explained organizer Jen Fitzpatrick, of Serendipity Studios. “Brides get a complimentary cocktail from Bergeron Estate Winery. They get to go around and mingle with the vendors and we’re having feature vendors in the middle of the room this year. We’re going to have the grand prizes given away and draw them before 8:30 p.m. then from 9-10 p.m. we’re doing a photo booth, we’re providing that by Serendipity Studios,” said Fitzpatrick.

Raiders do their part, now must await their fate Napanee seeks help from Storm, Pirates and Panthers in their playoff chase

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

hose feisty Napanee Raiders aren’t dead yet. The plucky team reeled off three more wins this weekend including a 4-3 upset of top ranked Picton Friday night and a heartpounding 6-5 shootout win over Port Hope at home Tuesday night to close out the regular season. That gives Napanee six straight wins over all and a fighting chance at clinching a playoff berth provided they get a little help from the rest of the league. Napanee’s hopes are still alive in large part due to Tyler Romain and Evan Brown, who scored on their shootout attempts to help Napanee secure the extra point. Romain’s was particularly key as Tyler Davey, Port Hope’s first shooter, beat Napanee goalie Kyle Copeland to give his team the early advantage. That meant Napanee’s entire season was resting on Romain’s shoulders. “There’s a lot of pressure, but I haven’t missed a shootout attempt this year so it made me feel pretty confident,” said Romain. “Shootout’s my favourite thing, break aways are my specialty.” Copeland turned away the next two shooters while Brown tucked in the second shootout attempt to send the home crowd into a frenzy. It was quite the turn around for Napanee, who minutes early had nearly seen their season slip away. Clinging to a 5-3 lead the Raiders watched Port Hope score twice within the final minute and a half of the game to force overtime. “We just stayed calm,

we didn’t want to put our heads down,” said Romain. “We knew we could still pull out the two points. The boys were fired up and we just stayed calm and played our game.” Bud Norris got Napanee rolling early, scoring just 2:23 into the first. Joel Ferland and Ryan Casselman chipped in with goals later in the period to give Napanee a 3-1 edge after one. Austin Boulard added another in the second, offset by one from Port Hope to make it 4-2. Romain added what appeared to be a huge insurance goal with less than five minutes left in the third to put his team up 5-3. As it turned out his goal was still an important one, helping the Raiders live long enough to see overtime. On Saturday things were a little easier for Napanee as they cruised passed the last place Deseronto Storm 11-1. Jordan Cannons, Zach KnappHermer, Romain, Kyle Murphy, Mitch Pearce, Boulard, Brown, Chad McCutcheon and Will Pierson each scored for Napanee in the rout. Mitchell Thompson had Deseronto’s only goal. Copeland stopped 30 of 31 for the win. Friday night against the Picton Pirates it was another nail biter as the Raiders held on for a 4-3 shootout win. Once again Romain was the hero, scoring on Napanee’s first attempt. Copeland stopped all three of Picton’s shooters to make it hold up, finishing with 29 saves for the win. Boulard, Romain and Norris scored in regulation to help Napanee knock off Picton for the first time in eight meetings this year, 16 dating back to last year. For the Pirates it was just their fourth loss all year in

Raider goalie Kyle Copeland smothers the lose puck as Will Peirson (front) gets tripped up with Port Hope shooter Tanner Bowditch during Tuesday’s game at the SPC. 39 games, leaving them 352-1-1, light years ahead of the league with 72 points. With their dramatic wins the Raiders finished the regular season with a 20-17-1-2 record, good for 43 points. That places them in a second place tie with the Amherstview Jets, who are 20-15-2-1, but with two games still left to play. Almost certain to pass those two teams are Port Hope and Campbellford, who had three and two games left to play respectively heading into last night. The Panthers hosted the Storm last night, results weren’t known at

press time. The Panthers entered the game with 41 points. The Rebels currently have 40. Realistically Napanee’s best chances for a playoff berth is to have the 3-32-01 Storm sweep the Rebels in regulation in their final two games this weekend or have the Jets drop their final two. The Jets travel to Picton tomorrow night and close out the season at home against Port Hope on Sunday, starting at 7:30 p.m. If the Jets fail to register a point in either game, Napanee would claim the fourth and final seed by virtue of their 5-3 head-to-

head record with Amherstview. As much as they hate the waiting game, they can rest easy knowing they've at least taken care of what they can control. “I’m proud of every single guy in that dressing room,” Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick said following Tuesday’s thriller. “We had that spell where we lost nine or 10 (a nine game losing streak from Oct. 18 to Nov. 12). The easy thing to do would be to roll over. The whole team persevered, like tonight. We didn’t make it easy on ourselves but we found a

way to get two points….We’ve done everything we can from a team stand point. Now we just have to wait and see how the weekend goes.” While they don’t know if their season is done or not, they do know they made a dramatic improvement over last year’s 1027-2-1 record in what stands as the only year they’ve missed the playoffs in their 25 year history. Romain finishes the year as the team’s top scorer with 30 goals and 22 assists.

Amherstview Jets survive scare from Deseronto, win in shootout Storm earn first point since Nov. 16

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Deseronto came within minutes of doing the rest of the Empire B League a huge favour on Sunday, taking the Amherstview Jets to overtime before ultimately losing in a shootout.

The Storm held a 2-1 edge with just two minutes left in the game before Amherstview’s Jordan Howe scored the all-important tying goal and let the home crowd exhale a huge sigh of relief. After a scoreless five minute overtime the game went to a shootout, where Howe once again played hero. He and Josh Leblanc were successful on their attempts while Deseronto’s Brett Maracle and Riley Muise were stopped. Maracle gave the

Storm the lead with a goal at the 13:46 mark of the first. Josh Cameron and Mitchell Thompson earned assists. The score stayed that way until early in the second when Matt Horton broke the shutout. Thompson gave the Storm the 2-1 lead at the 6:31 mark of the third. Brock Tufts turned in a strong game in net for the Storm, stopping 62 shots. James D’Andrea got the win, though he wasn’t nearly as busy, facing just 18 shots. The shootout loss

capped an otherwise ugly week for the Storm who dropped a 9-1 game to the Jets at home on Friday and suffered an 11-1 loss the following day to the visiting Napanee Raiders. That game was a make up of a Dec. 20 game that was postponed due to weather. By stretching Sunday’s game to overtime the Storm earned their first point since Nov. 16. With seven points on the year they have eclipsed last year’s mark of six. They were 3-32-0-1 on the year

heading into last night’s game in Port Hope. Results weren’t known at press time. They’re back there tomorrow night for another meeting with the Panthers, starting at 8 p.m. They close out the season with two road games against the Campbellford Rebels on Saturday and Sunday. Any Storm victory would have huge playoff implications for the rest of the league. Sunday’s win was a critical one for the Jets, as they continue to fight to maintain their playoff posi-

tion. They are now 20-15-21 on the year, holding down second with 43 points but with just two games left to play. They’re in Picton tonight for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop with the Pirates before closing out the season at home Sunday for a critical date with the Port Hope Panthers. That game gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Even if they’re not fighting for their playoff lives, that game will almost certainly influence the seeding for the first round.

Trio of Crunch teams stay alive in playoffs Beaver Sports

The Atom Crunch closed out their series against the West Northumberland Wild on Saturday, sweeping the first to four point series in two games. Lauren Sutton, assisted by Breanna Roy, scored in the middle of the first to give the Crunch a 1-0 lead. After a scoreless second period the Crunch opened up with third period scoring by Alyssa McMullen (two) and Leah Carscallen. Assists were earned by Payton Barkley, Emma Granger, Heidi Rogers, Ella Pringle, Nikki Weese and Myla Pearson. The Wild answered back with a goal resulting in a 4-1 win allowing the Crunch to advance to the next round. n The Napanee Bantam B Crunch girls travelled to Port Perry on Saturday for the second game in a bestof-three series. The girls won the game, 1-0 courtesy a goal by Brooklyn Benn. The win puts them on to the second round of the Lower Lakes playoffs where they will face the Ennismore Eagles. On Sunday, the girls travelled to Cornwall to face the Cornwall Typhoons in Game 1 of the OWHA Provincial Playdowns. They played an energetic game that ended with a 2-2 tie. Napanee goals were scored by Rayanne West and Adele Frink. Ashlee Couvreur earned an assist on the West goal. Game 2 will be on Sunday Feb. 23 versus the Brockville Angels. n The Napanee Peewee B Crunch began play in provincial playdowns and LLFHL playoffs on the weekend. In the playdowns, Napanee faced off against the Brockville Angels on Saturday afternoon at the SPC. This was a tight, hard fought game that ended in a 1-0 defeat to the Angels.

some game in goal, keeping it close until the final whistle. On Sunday, the girls were up against the West Northumberland Wild in first round action in the LLFHL playoffs. Napanee dominated play but were unable to score until late in the third period when Cailyn Barton received a nifty pass from Amber Weese to score the game winning goal. Chloe Brunner put the game away with an empty net goal with 30 seconds to play resulting in a 2-0 win for the Crunch. Truman was solid in net once again earning the shutout. n The Napanee Country Traditions Novice A Stars won three straight games in dominating fashion over the Whitby Wildcats (Blue) to win their first series of the OMHA playdowns. Last Thursday, at the SPC, the Napanee Stars got off to a slow start. Despite that the majority of the play in the first period took place in Whitby’s end, the Stars only had one goal to show for it. With hard skating and incredible puck control the Stars found their grove in the second, scoring a total of five times. In the third, they scored 10 times for the dominating 16-0 game win. Scoring for Napanee were Spencer Cranley (six), captain Cal Uens (four), Carter McKee (three), Ethan Sutcliffe (two), and Will Myers. Assists went to Taylor Gilmour (three), Sutcliffe (three), Ty Kemp (three), Jack Madden (two), Gavin Brooks (two), Nolan Fox (two), Uens and Cranley. Napanee goaltender, Jacob Brown earned his first shutout of the playoffs. In Whitby on Saturday afternoon, strong Wildcats goaltending challenged the Stars early on, but Napanee’s relentless attack and barrage of 48 shots through the game took their toll. Their aggressive yet disciplined play was rewarded with five powerplays. The Stars scored three in the second and four in the third for the 7-0 win. Scoring for the Stars were, Uens (two), McKee (two), Sutcliffe, Cranley and Madden. Assists went to Fox (two), Gilmour, Sutcliffe, Kemp, Brooks and Cranley. Brown, who made several outstanding saves, earned his second consecutive shutout. Sunday afternoon at the SPC, Napanee dominated from the initial drop of the puck for a staggering

13-1 win and series sweep. Scoring for the Stars were Cranley (three), Uens (three), Sutcliffe (two), Brooks, Fox, Gilmour, McKee and Myers. Assists went to Uens (five), Brody Beaubien, Lukas Hannah, Fox, Gilmour, Sutcliffe, Cranley, McKee, Myers and Madden. n The Napanee Spuds Griddle Atom As fell to Port Perry in OMHA action after a tightly fought semifinal Lakeshore series. In the final game, their offense deserted them as they tried to come back against their guests. After a solid scoreless first period with support from goalie, Emerson Kennelly, the locals gave up a powerplay goal early in the second. They continued to battle hard into the midpoint of the third, before a long screen shot found the twine, and in the end the result was a 4-0 loss. n The Boyd Electric Peewee As ended their run in OMHA playoffs with Uxbridge, losing 5-2 on Saturday. The Stars scored first with Matt Sager taking a point shot, which led to a Nathan Brant rebound, which Kyle Garrett then put in the back of the net. Uxbridge’s constant forecheck led to their first tally. The visitors got one more on the power-play late in the first. At the midway point of the second, Sager chipped the puck out to Justin Jones who scored from an impossible angle deep to the goalie’s right, proving that is never a bad play to put the puck on net. Tied at 22, that is as close as they would get however, but the boys never quit, and played hard the rest of the way. In Uxbridge earlier, Napanee had held their hosts scoreless late into the third period, but fell 2-0. n The Exit Realty Minor Bantams began their round robin series with a home tilt against Clarington. Welcoming Adam Doyle back from injury, the boys came hard out of the chute, with two goals in the first three minutes. Steven Shea fed Nelson Powers at the bottom of the circle for one on the power-play, and Brendan Hagerman made it 2-0 on a rebound after Shea had gone one-on-one with their defense. Shea scored with three minutes left in the contest, also on the power play set up by Powers. Clarington made it close with under a minute left, scoring to make it 3-2, before Shea got his fourth

point into the empty net. Kyle Weese and Hagerman also earned assists on the night. In Pickering on Sunday they started slowly, giving up a goal on a penalty shot. Eli Brown evened the score on a fine individual effort coming out of the corner. Kiel Benton made it 2-1 off a goal-mouth scramble, and got his second of the game on the power play scooping up Hagerman’s rebound to clinch it at 4-1. Netminders Liam Boyd and Finn Pierce both performed effectively. n The L&A Mutual Insurance Minor Atoms continued their round robin series in Lakeshore playoffs Saturday as they hosted Whitby White. The game began as a tight checking affair with the first period ending at zeros, but as the game continued both teams found their offensive groove exchanging goals. But it was the visitors who came out on top with a 3-2 victory. Scoring for the Stars was Ben Albright unassisted and Ethan Martin with helpers going to Zach Slaven and Reid Lambert. Ryan Aldridge got the call in nets and was key in keeping the game close. The minor atoms will travel to Kingston this Sunday to meet the Canadians in a must win game. n The Giant Tiger Minor Peewee Stars showed Uxbridge how it’s done in a Lakeshore game that proved dramatic in many ways. After spotting their guests a goal, the GT crew scored an amazing seven straight tallies to win 7-1. Zack Doyle had a hat trick, Mason Barker had a pair, and Tristan Shelley and Ethan McKeown had singles in the rout of the Uxbridge Stars. Contributing assists were Alex PymRobichaud (three), Aidan Joe, Ethan Joe, Kenny Paddle-Grant, Barker, and Shelley. n The Major Midgets were on the road to Pickering for Games 2 and 3 in their Lakeshore Playdown action. After a tough, firstgame loss at home last Saturday, the team had to dig deep to bring out their grit. After falling behind 2-0 early the Stars rallied with goals from Adam Weatherhead and Matt Davis. John Harvey netted the game winner for Napanee in the third, stealing a win from the stunned Panthers. On Sunday they battled to a 2-2 draw. Iain MacGregor and Weatherhead provided the scoring.

Plenty of interest in NDCC’s open house Curling event continues through tomorrow

BY SANDY EASTLAKE On the Button

ew ‘potential curlers to be’ took advantage of the free open house on Sunday and had a great time learning the ins and outs of a curling game. Thank you to my husband Steve Eastlake who assisted myself and Frank Dunham for giving us great ice to show off. The open house continues for the rest of this week ending on Friday. Three club teams participated in the Pat Lid 24 team Senior Bonspiel at the Cataraqui Golf and Curling Club last weekend with the team of Walter Genereux, Doug Pennell, Kees VanGent and Phil Berry missing out on the trophy by just a few points to come in second. The team of Ed File, Brian Chadwick, Tom Ayling and Bart MacLean placed sixth overall while Frank Dunham and team had a good time. The Monday Men’s Flight second draw ended with A winner Robert Dickson, Ryan Rowe, Scott Dickson, Bryce Row with second being Bill Hogg, Andy Palmer, Gord

Napanee’s Tyler Romain skates in close during his successful shootout attempt on Port Hope goalie Branson Schell. Romain had two shootout goals this week, helping the Raiders win both games.

RAIDERS | Romain leads team CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 His 52 points are currently fifth, most in the league. His 30 goals are second highest in the league, two back of Picton's Brian Bunnett. He leads the league with 10 powerplay goals. Casselman and Norris shared the team’s second spot with 24 goals each. Boulard’s 32 assists lead the team and are sixth best in the league. Casselman and Jake Falcao each had 23 helpers. In the crease Copeland finished with an 11-9

record and a 3.72 goals against average in 23 games. Josh Lasher was 98-1-1 with a 3.31 GAA in 21 games. With a little luck and some help around the league, they’ll have a chance to pick up some post season points as well. If they do make the playoffs, they will likely face Picton in the best-of-seven series. For scoring his first Junior C goal on his career on Saturday Pierson is the Ontario Milk Marketing Board Raider of the week.

Napanee to take part in province’s Heritage Week, Feb. 17-23 Beaver Staff

Town calls on all Grade 5 students to design heritage themed post cards

Next week the Town of Greater Napanee will celebrate Heritage Week as a way to commemorate local leaders and educate the community on Napanee’s history. The province of Ontario declared the third week of February as Heritage Week to give Ontarians a chance to celebrate and honour their unique and diverse culture. In Napanee, spe-

cial events have been planned for locals to gain knowledge about the past and celebrate present achievements. The Municipal Heritage Committee has developed a special two-part project to showcase the Canadian Postal Service in Greater Napanee. Firstly, 10 different posters have been created to highlight Napanee’s cultural history. The themes selected by the Heritage

Committee are: Remember World War I, Remember World War II, Sir John A. Macdonald, valentines, wish you were here, Easter wishes, Christmas, near and far, birthday greetings, and weddings. The posters are displayed in downtown businesses and public buildings throughout Greater Napanee this month. Posters are $175 for 10 or sold individually for $20 each at town hall. These images have also

• Interior Design • Home Staging • Window Treatments • Painting • Colour Consultation • Organization

been made into post cards, greeting cards and letters. The second part of the project aims to engage local youth. Grade 5 students from all schools within Greater Napanee were invited to create their own heritage post cards. These images are to include a visual design as well as a written message describing the piece. They have been instructed to show how their work documents a building of architectural importance, a his-

torical event, or how the image has been used to stimulate discussion and ideas. Participants will be commemorated at a special reception on Feb. 20, during Heritage Week. Heritage Committee Member Eileen Ronald has guided this special Heritage Week project, including the designing of the posters and coordination of the school post cards project. The committee would also like to extend its

appreciation to Burke Printing for assisting in this project. For more information on Heritage Week, contact the Town of Greater Napanee Heritage/Streets Smarts Committee members Dennis Mills, committee chair: d.smills@sympatico.ca, Eileen Ronald, committee member and project coordinator: Ronald@kingston.net, or Susan Beckel, town clerk, sbeckel@greaternapanee.c om.

EVES - On February 7, 2013, you ascended into Heaven. In remembrance of my father, Royce. A golden heart stopped beating, Two smiling eyes at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best, Your painful days are over, Your restless nights have passed, God took you in His arms And whispered “Peace at last”. Dad, you always had a smile to share. A twinkle in your eye that lead to a playful wink. You lived your life for your family; to protect and teach us. You were kind and loving, gentle and had such a big heart. These are just a few of the thousands of remembrances I cherish. I miss you Dad, every day. Roycene Eves.

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, strange forces seem to be working against you, but fortunately you are prepared for anything that comes your way. Allow for some time to get things settled. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, keep a firm hand on your wallet so you can avoid spending well beyond your means. It is best if you avoid making any impulse purchases in the near future. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, listen carefully when a family member comes to you with some sage advice. Even a seemingly relaxed conversation may prove fruitful. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, you may seem rushed this week, but resist the temptation to go faster than is comfortable for you. Take your time so things are done right the first time. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, you may have so much fun this week that you don't realize you have been getting work done in the process. Your attitude is even inspiring others around you. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Take a step back when you don't see eye to eye with a colleague, Virgo. Disagreements can quickly escalate, so keep a level head and take all things into consideration.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, your intuition and ability to work with people closely will make your life much more enjoyable. Make use of these talents as you pursue a new career path. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Falling into a slump just isn't your style, Scorpio. Even if things don't seem to be going your way, your attitude and work ethic will make the most of the situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, playing games with someone can be fun, but don't let things turn into a serious rivalry. Focus on being lighthearted this week. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, your responsible nature helps those in your care to feel safe and secure. It is good to show others how much they mean to you, and you have been doing it correctly. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Some wellhidden information could come to the surface, and you will have the ability to put it to use, Aquarius. Just don't let the power go to your head. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, you must deal with a potentially delicate matter in the days to come. Keep a cool head and remain confident.

Napanee eats its way to third in Shoeless Joe’s contest Town grabs $7,000 prize

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Conservation Park is $7,000 closer to a major upgrade thanks to Shoeless Joe’s Sports Grill and the appetite of the Napanee sports community. Members of town council collected the cheque at the Napanee restaurant recently, which was earned when Napanee placed third in Shoeless Joe’s Home Team Advantage Program. The contest saw all of Shoeless Joe’s franchises across Ontario square off to see which communities could bank the most Home Team Advantage points, which are earned when sports teams drop by the restaurant to eat. Napanee placed third behind second place Dufferin, North York and first place Cornwall. The top three communities were given cash prizes which were ear marked for a local community refresh project. Napa-

nee earned $5,000 for their third place finish, which was bumped up to $7,000 by the local franchise. Through online voting, the Napanee community selected to upgrade the section of Conservation Park next to the Rotary Splash Pad. They plan to construct a playground and picnic area for families. “It’s the type of park that will not only be used by our community but will be a real destination for visitors to our community where families can come down and enjoy the splash pad and we’ll have a picnic facility and shelter,” said Dave Morgan, infrastructure manager for Greater Napanee. Currently in the designing process, Morgan says they’ll be reaching out to other businesses and the Rotary Club to help fund the project. The final budget will be determined by how much support they get from the community. “If we were fortunate, depending how much money we can raise, we can have the project in the ground by 2015,” said Morgan. “If not sooner, depend-

What Napanee lacked in numbers they made up for in

terms of dedication. “We certainly really appreciate everyone getting involved,” said deputy mayor Roger Cole, who was on hand to accept the cheque. “You can always count on the folks in Greater Napanee and area to get involved when there’s a good proj-

ect for the town.” Along with the community prize, the top three contributing teams to the overall point total were awarded $1,000 from Shoeless Joe’s. They were the Napanee Stars’ major peewee and minor bantam teams as well as the Napanee

Raiders Junior C club. Though the province wide competition has wrapped up, local sports teams can continue to use the restaurant’s Home Team Advantage program to bank points for their team which they can redeem for free food during a year end party.

32 / VALENTINES

N A P A N E E

Valentine's Day is an opportunity for people in Canada to tell somebody that they love them in a romantic way. It falls on February 14, the name day of two saints, St Valentine of Rome and St Valentine of Terni. In pre-Christian times, the middle of February was a time of pagan fertility festivals in Europe and allegedly the time when birds chose a mate.

want to have a romantic relationship. Valentine's Day cards are often red or pink and decorated with images of hearts, red roses, teddy bears, presents or happy couples kissing or embracing. They may be in brightly colored, perhaps pink or red, envelopes. Many people give gifts to loved ones on Valentine's Day. Common gifts are: • Flowers, particularly red roses • Chocolates and/or candy • Teddy bears • Toy hearts • Sparkling wine

• Cosmetics • Clothing, including lingerie • Jewellery Some people celebrate Valentine's Day lavishly. They may treat their partner to a themed meal in a restaurant or a night in a luxury hotel. Others may take short breaks or vacations on Valentine’s Day. Valentine's Day can also be an occasion for a more general celebration of love and appreciation of people who are personally important to an individual. School children may help decorate their classrooms with hearts and spring birds and make cards or presents for their parents. Stores may also sell Valentine's Day themed cakes, cookies or candy. Teenagers and young adults may hold Valentine's Day parties or dances on or near February 14.

Background

The origins of Valentine's Day are not clear. It is thought that there were a number of local fertility festivals in Europe in pre-Christian times. These were often in the middle of February. Many people also thought that birds chose their mates at this time of year. Around the year 1380, the English poet Chaucer wrote a poem for the first anniversary of the engagement of King

Richard II to Anne of Bohemia. This is thought to be the first association between celebrations of romantic love and St Valentine's Day on February 14. The connection remained important throughout the middle ages. In the mid-19th century, there was an increase in interest in Valentine's Day, first in the United States, then in Canada. It was promoted by manufacturers of paper lace and cards as a means of increasing their sales. Gradually, this date was seen as an occasion for a man to present gifts to a woman with whom he had or would like to have had a romantic relationship. It was also customary for lovers to exchange handwritten notes. These have now largely been replaced by commercially produced cards.

Symbols

The most common symbols of Valentine's Day are heart shapes, which are used to decorate many things, including cards, trees, wrapping paper, cookies and gift boxes. Other symbols associated with February 14 are pairs of birds, cute teddy bears, Cupid and his arrows and couples kissing or embracing. The colors red and pink are often associated with Valentine's Day.

Have you heard of the “Purchase PLUS Improvement Program” or the “Refinance PLUS Improvement Program”? Most people haven’t and that’s a shame. Here’s why. These programs allow you to consolidate the purchase (or refinance) of your home PLUS renovations into one mortgage loan. This allows you to do renovations right away and at historically low interest rates. Perhaps you just viewed your dream home and it is missing that one thing to make it perfect. Or maybe the renovation list is long but the budget is small. Or your 5-year term is near the end, your mortgage is up for renewal and you feel like smashing down some walls to open things up a bit. Let some sunshine in. Did you know? • In 2010 42% of Canadian households surveyed had completed renovations • In 2010, Canadians spent $23 Billion in renovations • The average renovation cost is $15,000 • 20% paid for renovations using personal loans, lines of credit or credit cards…

Program Details Back to consolidating our property purchase and renovations into one first mortgage. If you are buying a property, the programs may vary slightly from Lender to Lender but for the most part properties that qualify under this program are Home purchases, 3-4 Units with Owner living in one, Rental properties and Second Homes. Improvements must add value such as adding a garage, new flooring, updating a kitchen or bathroom, granite countertops. Perhaps you’ve viewed a property and the wood paneling and the Parquet flooring just doesn’t do it for you. You don’t think you can live with the pale pink retro bathroom and vanity. Maybe the unfinished basement would be a great spot for a wet bar and media room or another bedroom. All of the aforementioned changes could add value and are therefore acceptable for this program. If your mortgage is about to renew, this program is available to you as well and the same theory applies. If it adds value and you would prefer to make changes sooner rather than later, you may want to consider it. You’ve waited long enough to replace the orange shag carpet with hardwood. Changes outside the home such as landscaping may also be eligible. Using some of the equity in your home allows you to make changes now and use a potentially cheaper alternative than a personal loan, line of credit or credit cards. Another benefit of this program for those homeowners who make energy–saving renovations to an existing home is the potential for refunds of mortgage loan insurance premiums. Not accepted by this program are changes made to remediate a

property deficiency such as structural repairs, asbestos or damage by grow ops. A typical example might look something like this:

Purchase Price $200,000 Renovations $ 20,000 Total Cost $220,000 Lending Value $220,000 Maximum Mortgage $209,000 (95% of $220,000) Minimum Down Payment $11,000 (5%) Renovation estimates are required up front with the mortgage application. Improvements must be completed within 120 days (some Lenders are 90 days). They are building move-in ready homes in that period of time so this is usually plenty of time to get the changes completed. There are exceptions of course and your mortgage agent can help you with this. This program can be of great benefit and works best if well understood and everyone involved is organized and prepared at the time funds are advanced. Whether you are purchasing or refinancing, a Mortgage Agent can help you understand how you can get the most out of this program and help organize the entire process. Home ownership, renovated the way you want may be easier than you think. Your dream home may be the one you’re in or one you’ll soon view that just needs a few changes. Whatever your circumstances, best of luck with all renovations. Oh, by the way. Did you know wood paneling and parquet flooring are “back in”? “Hmmm. Honey? Maybe we should replace the orange shag with parquet”!! Compliments of Ralph McKenny, a local Mortgage Agent with Martel Mortgages FSCO License 11963.
