Garneau makes pitch to local Liberals ‘Dark Canada’s first astronaut

Skies’ idea wins

outlines leadership creds BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

After reviewing his own strengths as they relate to his bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, MP and former astronaut Marc Garneau gave local Liberals some advice as they consider who they’ll chose as leader. “I believe that when you make the decision on who you’re going to vote for in April, you need to know where every single candidate stands,” he told a gathering of Liberals at the Loaf N’ Ale in Napanee on Monday. “It’s not good enough for a candidate to say ‘I have a bold vision’ and not define it. It’s not good enough to say ‘I care about the middle class’ and not tell you what they’re going to do for the middle class. It’s not good enough to say ‘I care about you’ and not tell you what they’re going to do for you.” Garneau — Canada’s first astronaut — is one of nine vying for the leadership of the party. The perceived frontrunner in the race, Justin Trudeau, was scheduled to stop in Napanee this morning. The new leader will be announced on April 14. For his part, Garneau is no stranger to Napanee, having played the Napanee Golf and Country Club course on a few occasions and having attended Royal Military College in nearby Kingston. During his lunchtime stopover in Napanee on

Monday, Garneau spent little time critiquing his competitors for the party’s leadership, but instead turned his attention toward Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the ruling Conservative Party. He said the desire to “show Mr. Harper the door” was his principle reason for seeking the leadership of the Liberal Party. “Mr. Harper is changing this country in a way that I don’t like, and I don’t want that for my children,” he said. Garneau took aim at what many consider to be the Conservatives’ most positive attribute: their ability to manage the economy. Garneau suggested that the Conservatives’ positive economic record was a mirage. “I think Stephen Harper get unfairly praised for his management of the economy,” Garneau said. “He has made a mess of the economy as far as I’m concerned. Thank God he inherited a very healthy situation in 2006, with $12 billion surpluses — which he spent rapidly, by the way. In 2006-08, he increased the federal budget. This is supposed to be the ‘Conservatives’. Small government. They increased the government budget by 18 per cent over three years.” He also said that Conservative economic forecasts have been less than reliable. “How they can call themselves the rocket scientists of the economy is beyond me.

Hollywood isn’t the only town that can boast awardwinning stars as Lennox and Addington’s Dark Sky Viewing Area, home to billions of celestial twinkling stars, was bestowed its own honour last week. L&A County took home the Economic Developers Council of Ontario’s 2012 Tourism Infrastructure Award at a conference held in London, Ont. The award is handed out to organizations that have developed, designed and implemented a new venture that encouraged tourism growth for their region. The county officially opened the Dark Sky Viewing Area, an open spot at the side of County Rd. 41 near the Sheffield Conservation Area this past August. “We were competing against other projects in major urban centres right across Ontario,” said L&A’s manager of economic development Stephen Paul, who was on hand to collect the award. “We were pleased and I think it really speaks to the uniqueness of the project and overall success of the project.

Little Creek Solar Project

Council seeks to put brakes on solar farm BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

HE Town of Greater Napanee hopes to delay construction of the Little Creek solar proj-

ect, proposed by CanadianSolar, after passing a motion to appeal the project and request a stay of development. The Little Creek solar project, if developed, would be located in the County of Lennox and Addington and would be approximately a 10-kilowatt project. CanadianSolar put forth an application for the Little Creek project prior to Ontario’s new law stating further development of ground-mounted solar projects over 10-kilowatts on prime agricultural land

shall not be granted. Projects already developed or in the process of being implemented would be grandfathered in. Though the Little Creek project was approved prior to the change, it has still upset some people in the community. Pam McCracken, who owns property near the proposed project site, has put forth an appeal, which council has supported with its own appeal during a special council meeting last Thursday. “We looked up the

Ontario Power Authority and there are restrictions on power projects on agricultural land,” said Napanee Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “Ontario has declared there is to be no ground-mounted solar projects above 10 kilowatts… especially in crop areas or organic lands in order to provide continued protection on such lands.” After explaining Little Creek does not apply to these regulations, he said, “I would like to see the town put an appeal in about the application of

lands, to the Ministry of Environment, and ask if (Little Creek) has undergone their environmental assessment.” Greater Napanee Ward 1 councillor Michael Schenk moved that council not only put an appeal but also to “request a stay of construction” by the Ministry of Environment. Ward 4 councillor Bill Pierson seconded this motion before it was carried by council. “I’ll move that motion for the sole reason that construction hasn’t started yet and it’s now

been declared as wrong. Something wrong is wrong,” said Schenk. “I don’t know how far we’ll take it, we’ll decide that at a later date. But we have to do it within 15 days of Jan. 25,” explained Schermerhorn. “We’re not spending a lot of money on this. We’ll put the appeal in; we’ll get some advice from our lawyer and go from there.” The proponent is holding a public information session on April 23 from 68 p.m. at the Napanee Lion’s Hall.

Valentine’s Day

Red roses always a favourite for most romantic day BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

Though many couples may be changing the way they celebrate Valentine’s Day, the red rose is still seen as the most popular item of affection for the holiday. Tammy Peck, owner of Flowers by Barbara in Napanee, said though bouquets have changed, red roses are most admired on Valentine’s Day.

“I’ve noticed men have been going to more of a mixed bouquet recently, as opposed to just roses to change it up,” she said. “It’s more acceptable now.” Peck said few people ask for a flower’s symbolization or meaning when ordering an arrangement. Still, the red rose, symbolizing love, is most prevalent not just on Valentine’s Day, but for all occasions relating to love or affection. Non-floral arrange-

HOLMES SWEET HOME

About a mile up Huffman Street You’ll see a yard trimmed, tidy and neat. A long treed lane leads to the door Of the white frame house where I lived before. Inside this house, five kids were able To fit around the kitchen table. We gathered there for meals of course But the table also was the source ... Of lessons learned and homework done Where tears were shed and songs were sung. Stories told and buns would rise And patterns altered down to size. Horsey rides when a knee was freed Crib with Grandpas as he teased. Rumoli games and syrup disasters Enough elbow force to break the castors. As time went on, things were replaced And the table held papers, pills, puzzles and paste. But it still welcomed a crowd and continued to teach That a loving bear hug was always within reach.

To Jim and Vera Holmes on their 60th Wedding Anniversary, February 14th, 2013 Written by Julie (Holmes) Emond

N A PA N E E

The table was made of touch stuff, that is true But is magic came from its two owners, who ... For SIXTY years now have eaten together Through sunny side eggs and some roasts tough as leather. It was back on this day of valentines and kisses When sailor Jim took young Vera for his Missus. Cupid’s arrow proved to be straight and true Such a devoted couple are far and few. Love and congratulations to our Dad and Mom Despite their claim not to know where us babies came from They raised us up tall and to be our best Their humour helped soften most of life’s many tests. The family has grown, as families do But whenever we can, we gather the crew. Up the street, and the lane to the house where we’re able. To still fit around that old kitchen table.

EDITORIAL

Bad week for the Senate The Senate of Canada has had a rough, rough week. Any given day, there are rumblings about the future of the chamber of sober second thought. However, news of residency issues surrounding Senator Mike Duffy and, most recently, assault charges being laid against Senator Patrick Brazeau, have turned those rumblings in a roar. Whether that will be sufficient to spur changes to the embattled Senate, time will tell. We have our doubts, because Senate reform has been, at best, a subject that make most people’s eye glaze over and, at worst, a constitutional hornets’ nest. Right now, the Conservative Party’s long-standing proposal to make the Senate elected is now being considered by the Supreme Court of Canada, which is considering what changes could be made unilaterally by the government, and which changes will need more-involved hoops — such as gaining the support of the provinces. And while ‘making the senate elected’ is a simple enough suggestion, there are plenty of other questions that need to be considered. For instance, what happens when the House of Commons and the Senate butt heads on legislation, and there’s a logjam? Will there be a tie-breaking mechanism? What form will that take? More questions: How will the Senate be elected? How long will the terms be? How many senate seats will each province get? None of these questions seem insurmountable, but when constitutional wrangling is concerned, even the simplest questions can become quagmires, where good intentions drown, never to be seen again. It’s also important to note that, in spite of the bad press a few senators have been getting lately, is the Senate really that bad? Sure, we hear about senator missteps — but how about all those senators who take their positions seriously, put their noses to the grindstone and do good, meaningful work? Their stories seldom make the news. However, despite whatever good work might be happening at the senate, there’s a lack of accountability. Short of that senator being arrested for a felony, it’s pretty hard to get rid of a crummy senator before he or she turns 75. Further, the Senate is a vestige of an era where privilege and property made a person ‘more equal’ than others. It is very hard to square that with the more egalitarian sensibilities of today. Clearly, the fate of the Senate should not rest on the fate of a few sensational news stories. We need some sober second thought about the chamber of sober second thought.

The reality of mental illness With writing so many stories about mental health this week, I thought I oughta put in my two cents on the subject. In an interview I had this week with Canadian Forces Captain Wayne Johnston regarding veteran’s health and the stigma surrounding mental illnesses, he opened my eyes to a harsh realization: no one is exempt from developing a mental illness. And what’s more — and sometimes the breaking point for certain victims — is the stigma attached to it and how brutal the world can be. Being marginalized as ‘mentally ill’ somehow makes a person less than perfect. Growing up with an autistic

Ashley Foley Ashley’s Anecdotes brother, I am well aware of how cruel and lonely the world can be. But, I also have been exposed to the other side of the story: how beautiful it is to experience a person’s innocence and playfulness at all stages of life. Developmental disorders and mental illness are two different things, of course — what they have in common, however, is that they are both real, and both have real consequences. What I had not considered up

to this week were those people who develop mental illnesses later in life. Like the soldiers who heroically fight our wars and then return home only to feel they are trapped in their homes to deal with posttraumatic stress disorder, panic attacks or depression all on their own. These people didn’t grow up learning to deal with and live with such a disorder, but somehow, this disorder could have an impact on who they are for the rest of their lives. A war veteran I interviewed explained what it was like for him and really made me understand what he was going through.

ILLNESS | No one is immune CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Being diagnosed with a mental injury versus something physical that you can put a band-aid on or throw a pill at, it was very difficult. I spent a lot of time trapped in my basement, trapped in my house,” said retired military member Andrew Godin. The truth is, we all

know someone struggling with a mental disorder – you just might not know it. Many of these people are suffering in silence, embarrassed to openly accept and admit they have an illness and unsure how to ask for help.

with the shame society places on those titles, or suffer alone. It’s bullying and it’s wrong. It’s wrong in our schools, it’s wrong in our workplaces and it’s wrong here and now. ‘Treat others as you would wish to be treated,’ – isn’t that what they taught each and every one of us in kindergarten?

With the winter white on the ground for the last month, things are heating up with the 2013 colour forecast. Having attended the 2013 Interior Design Show in Toronto a few weeks ago, Para Paints unveiled its Colour Forecast Palette and the new Colour Square Coordinating Tool. It’s a vibrant, edgy palette of hues of mauve and lavender, to peacock teals and sapphire seas, with contemporary accents of tangy oranges and happy, bright and cheery yellows. The colours were selected to encourage creative energy and complemented with neutrals of bleached translucent pastels, faded jeans and tactile earth tones for a coordinated look in any room. It offers you the latest in colour trends and will act as a guide in directing a home’s complete décor scheme. Para’s Colour Forecast is made up of 75 new colours, and 56 co-ordinating colour groups which enable customers to easily find the right colour combinations for walls, draperies, rugs and décor accessories. To use this new Colour Co-ordinating Tool, simply place the square over a colour that you like, and within the frame you will see the surrounding colours that perfectly co-ordinate with the one you have chosen. The tool is a perfect solution for anyone looking to create a décor scheme that harmonizes colours together just like a professional. You can now create an individual colour palette of cutting edge, trendy colours that have been professionally matched with stylish neutrals, making the task of

Design Time choosing colour easier, faster and more cohesive. The Pantone Colour Institute is the worldrenowned authority in colour and provider of colour systems. The Pantone name is known worldwide as the standard language for colour communication from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer. Pantone has forecasted its palette in paint colours and grouped them in trendy collections. Surface Treatments is all about earthy textures as a foundation of blues and greens, and adding white accents with natural wood. Extracts: Using shades of orange, from melon to coral, creates combinations that are piquant and refreshing. Add a dash of cinnamon and a burst of tart green apple for a fresh balance of colour. Out of the Ordinary: Quirky and whimsical in this collection as it marries shades of pumpkin and bright blue with a goldenrod, lime, and violet. Footprints: This palette

mixes sandy brown, vibrant tangerine, peacock blue, and fiery pink together. It’s not for the colour-shy. It’s inspired by bright tribal tones. The colours are bold and forthright, and perfect shades for creating an inviting respite. New Old School: Preppy primary colours and bright white become modern when used with shades of gray or black. Painting just one wall can help create a focal point. The colours will pop against the dark wall. But the wall should not be left bare, place white furniture in front, or create a gallery of prints and objects on it. Glamour: An ethereal gray, punctuated by deep, dark blue-green hues creates a sensuous atmosphere. Try adding hints of metallic shimmer or rich reds or cobalt blue accents to add a bit of classic drama. Sojourn: Combines quiet moss green, cobblestone gray and shiitake brown with vibrant fuchsia. Use a neutral base of grays and brown, and punch it up with greens and purple-pink accents. The forecast is just an inspirational guide — there are no rules. Often when times are hard, we crave bright colours to lift our spirits and keep us motivated. Colour is something to be enjoyed and everyone can find s palette that helps them find harmony and balance in their own home.

Have you seen a barred owl this winter? It was just a narrow wooded corridor midway along Hubbs Creek Road, west of Wellington. For a barred owl though, it was an ideal perch from which to survey the snow covered fields on either side of the road. This owl looked fairly alert and healthy. Not all of them are this winter. “I am still getting barred owls in, all emaciated, some having been hit by vehicles. I have had about 20 since the beginning of November and never had numbers like this since the Great Gray Owl irruption years ago,” said an alarmed Sue Meech from Napanee’s Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in a recent e-mail. “When I talked to the Owl Foundation in December they were experiencing the same intake.” So, what is behind the huge influx of barred owls this winter in the Quinte area, and why are so many dying? It’s difficult to know for sure, but the theory seems to be that these mediumsized owls with the jet black eyes had a very good breeding season last year. Normally barred owls are satisfied with only one brood per year, but due to an abundance of prey, likely meadow voles, or possibly rabbits, the barred owls may have opted for two broods. Animal abundance is related to availability of food. The more food, the higher the population of those animals that feed on a particular food source. The population of any species fluctuates almost constantly. One

species up and another down in numbers. It’s an absolutely amazing gift that Nature has for balancing itself. And, it’s an attribute that functions admirably, if we could just learn to leave it alone and not tamper with it in our misguided attempts to “fix things”. The natural world is no place for sloppy sentimentalism; in fact, with disease, predation and birds running into things, it can be downright nasty out there. But, it’s a system that works by itself, and has been doing quite well for many centuries. In the case of the barred owls, the majority of which nest south of the Canadian Shield, wherever suitable habitat remains, they exploited the riches of last summer, and with lots of owls around, something had to give. Available prey was getting a bit on the thin side in numbers. The established adults stuck to their breeding territories. Clearly, the young of the year had to move out and seek food elsewhere. That brought them to areas where barred owls normally are not observed – clearings, roadside edges, even backyards. According to Sue Meech, many of those brought to the Centre were juveniles – inexperienced hunters, and inexperienced in the dangers that are out there such as speeding vehicles, unfamiliar territory, other predators and even the trigger happy. With the newly arrived barred owls competing

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles with other established predators in the area like great horned owls, coyotes and foxes that are experiencing problems of their own acquiring food with the recent heavy snow fall, mortality happens. Nature continues in its efforts to achieve a balance, and the cycle continues. Have any of these owls been the much larger northern great gray owl? None has been seen anywhere in Ontario this winter, except for two or three in Algonquin Park, although a few are starting to show up now in the Ottawa area. Almost all owls in our area have been barred owls with one or two long-eared and short-eared owls thrown in. The food situation must be pretty dire, as barred owls are very opportunistic and will eat just about anything that it can hold down long enough to con-

sume. Meadow voles and shrews obviously, but also rats, squirrels, rabbits, moles, mink and weasels. A barred owl was photographed in Minnesota last year predaceously grabbing and flying with a full-grown domestic cat, a semiregular prey item for the larger great horned owl. Also included in their menu items - woodpeckers, grouse, jays, mourning doves, and pigeons. They also have been seen wading into water to capture fish, turtles, frogs and crayfish. In the summer, snakes, lizards, salamanders, slugs, beetles, crickets, and grasshoppers need to be wary too. But whatever its misdeeds in the eyes of those who cannot accept the way nature works in the real world, it makes up for by its fast paced, almost dog-like barking. Truly a delightful and feel-good sound to hear echoing from the forest. One night while camping at a canoe-in campsite at Murphy’s Point Provincial

Park, there were five barred owls calling and answering each other or most of the night. I joyously stayed awake the entire night. I have had some wonderful experiences with barred owls in past years. One winter, while leading a guided hike for over 30 outdoor enthusiasts at the H. R. Frink Centre, north of Belleville, I spotted a perched barred owl just as it spotted us. Obligingly, it flew low to the ground right along the entire length of my group that afternoon. For many, this was their very first view of an owl of any kind, and I am sure the experience left a lasting memory for them.

Downtown Napanee Revitalization

O O K I N G

A C K

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 65 Years Ago February 18, 1948 n With diminished water flow in the Napanee River, Napanee-area electricity customers were advised that there would be some temporary electricity shortages. The Public Utilities Commission said that, because of continued lack of rain since the fall, it became necessary to reduce the use of hydro by Napanee by 2,000 kilowatt hours per day. Electricity would be shut off in the town each day between 9-10 a.m. and between 4-5 p.m. The restriction would be lifted once water conditions improved. n A boxing event at the Napanee Armouries proved to be a bigger draw than many predicted. Between 700-800 spectators piled into the Armouries to take in the amateur boxing card, which included fighters from the surrounding region and further afield. The only Napanee-based fighter, Don Brown, went down to defeat in the 147pound class against Ray ‘Atom’ Anson. Although Anson controlled the fight, Brown stuck to his guns. Try as Anson might, “he could not wipe the infectious smile from the local boy’s face.”

35 Years Ago February 15, 1978 n Tax reforms proposed by the provincial government raised some concerns among members of Deseronto town council. “There are new formulas and their results may be disastrous,” said councillor Al Blayney in relation to the reform package proposed by provincial treasurer Darcy McKeough. Under those new formulas, tax rates for industrial and commercial properties could more than double. Deseronto council passed a resolution calling on other municipal councils to sound their concerns on the new tax plans. n Downtown Napanee merchants were in the process of forming a new Business Improvement Area for the town. A steering committee was formed after the merchants watched a slide presentation from Ontario Ministry of industry and Tourism representative Robert Pollock. It was felt that a downtown BIA would be “the best way to help a deteriorating downtown operate like a shopping centre.” The organization would facilitate beautification and business promotion.

Improvements continue with Touch of Class reno BY CHARLES BEALE

Special to the Beaver It may well be a surprise to many locally that Touch of Class — which just opened in the old Superior Restaurant building — has been a Napanee mainstay for the past 21 years. In 1990, while owner Teresa Hendricks, was working at a local board of education office, fellow women employees were bemoaning the fact that there were no stores in Napanee at the time catering to professional women. Over thoughts of such a business venture and with the encouragement from her husband, she opened the upper end apparel shop in 1991, on Industrial Boulevard. She remained there for 11 years, but by 2002, had moved to the much smarter Smiling Wilderness complex on Palace Road. Sadly, the Smiling Wilderness closed, which produced far less traffic. Hendricks was forced to look at other alternatives. The Superior Restaurant’s closing gave her the answer and Hendricks feels it was meant to be. The Touch of Class owner bought the Superior mainstay in 2012 because she says it was the right time. The restaurant at the corner of Centre and Dundas had served up daily fare there as long as most of us can remember — at least 75 years. Today, its transformation is remarkable. Ball gowns and designer chinos have replaced burgers and chips. No jeans, tees, or hoodies, thank you very much, unless they are highend labels. Hendricks also sells a wide selection of shoes and accessories. “Napanee is growing and this is a prime location. The Italianate architecture with the high crowned windows provide plenty of indirect light. It’s is a perfect fit for me,” Hendricks emphasizes. And she also stresses that it has not been an easy transformation, albeit with a pleasing result. The restaurant had to be gutted, work that was done by local contractor Ron Moore Repairs and Renovations — the same firm that was also awarded the contract last August to renovate the council chambers at Town Hall. Old knob and tube wiring, found in many old building, had to be completely ripped out for a modern dress salon. The old lath and plaster on all the walls and the ceiling was torn out to properly insulate and replace it with new drywall. Exhausted carpeting covered up wooden floors that were not worth salvaging, nor was the original brick on the lower section of the front facade. The rest of what is the east side of the three story building was sanded and repainted. The slate roof tiling was in very good condition and the basement is high and dry — both pleasant surprises. Hendricks says the not-sopleasant surprise is the cost, which is always more. Rules, regulations and meetings with town officials, all known to anyone who decides to reconstruct or restore, also complicated the process and added to the cost, she says. The total effect, however, is of elegance. The formal double-door entrance leads customers into a highceilinged clothing gallery. Rosethemed chandeliers and cove moldings set off the formal dress and gown wardrobes and the new hardwood

The majority of Hendricks’ customers are not yet from Napanee, but she expects that will increase over time. Most of her patrons are from Toronto and Ottawa, with many coming from Brighton to Gananoque corridor. She has customers that arrive twice a year and spend heavily each season. With the new location now open, Hendricks will maintain the Palace Road outlet as the clearance centre for the time being. Construction continues on the second level of the up-market restored ladies’ store where hammers and saws replace the smell of full breakfasts grilled below. Joanne Burke will be opening another first for downtown Napanee with a Touch of Wellness spa. The newly constructed inside staircase entrance on Centre Street will invite clients to the second floor. A lounge, set off with a fireplace and massage rooms are part of Burke's vision. She has obtained a liquor license so that people can imbibe and nibble on appetizers while they relax. Manicures, pedicures and all the specialty treatments expected in spas today will be offered. Two apartments are being maintained on the third floor which are

undergoing upgrades at this time. While parking is limited on site, plenty of parking exists nearby.T here are plans for exterior signage and landscaping of the Centre Street facade. Hendricks and her husband Rob want to be very much a part of the community in supporting the Napanee and District Chamber of Commerce, Heritage/Streets Smart Committee activities and the Business Improvement Area (BIA). Hendricks participated with other merchants in the Big Bright Lights Event during the Christmas season and heartily supports the BIA. This mandated program under the Municipal Government Act is there to promote and encourage local businesses by “attracting residents and visitors to area shops, other attractions and enterprises by means of beautification, revitalization and special promotions.” There is definitely a much appreciated renewal happening downtown and Teresa Hendricks, like other downtown merchants, can proudly say that she has taken up that challenge with her own touch of class.

Deb Kimmett anchors women’s conference Local comedian says ‘We Move Forward’ on Mexico’s Isla Mujeres sure to be inspirational Staff Reporter

A local comedian and writer is gearing up to host a writing workshop on Isla Mujeres in Mexico, alongside a presentation during the We Move Forward 2013 women’s conference. Deborah Kimmett participated in last year’s We Move Forward conference and has been asked back this year as the final speaker. The three-day conference is held for women all over the world to gather on Isla Mujeres, which translates to “Island of Women,” to share stories and become inspired. “This is a really modern conference about women in their own power as opposed to in their power in relation to guys,” said Kimmett. “They’re just really ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. And then having people in the room and thinking that you’re just living your life and you don’t notice… all the great things that have happened. But when you’re with a bunch of great people and look at it, you start to go, ‘Wow, these people have survived an awful lot and also thrived in their lives.’” The conference also takes place on International Women’s Day and is set to be an inspirational expe-

Napanee Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137 VicePresident Tim Smith admitted that, among his fellow members of the branch executive, it was difficult to think of a suitable way to honour the longtime contributions of members Bill and Iris Perrin. The Perrins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who have been involved in the Royal Canadian Legion in four different branches for the better part of the last seven decades â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had already earned nearly every honour available. In the end, however, the Perrins got the recognition they deserved: the upstairs meeting room at the Lt. Col. Harry Babcock Branch on Mill Street will now be known as Perrin Hall. At the branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards banquet on Sunday, a pair of signs were unveiled with the hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From here on out, anyone who enters this hall, they will see that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perrin Hall,â&#x20AC;? said Smith. The Perrins were one of several Legion members to be recognized on Sunday, with members earning various honours from service medals to lifetime memberships. The biggest honour, however, was reserved for the Perrins. Both Bill and Iris have an impressive record of volunteering and service, both within and outside the Legion branch. Iris had been a member of the branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auxiliary until the charter was turned over in 2008. Bill, meanwhile, had served in nearly every executive position in the

Bill and Iris Perrin pose for a few pictures in front of the sign designating the branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upstairs meeting space as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Perrin Hall.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; branch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including serving as service officer from 1975-1997, Smith said that, in that capacity, Perrin had a positive impact on the branch, and particularly local veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came here 25 years ago. At that time, there were a number of Second World War members of this legion,â&#x20AC;? Smith explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The times were not all that great, and some of them didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have great pensions. Some of them had injuries they sustained in the war. They may have been a little too proud to ask for assistance.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Bill stepped in, said Smith. With the help of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;made a lot of veterans in this legion and in Napanee very comfortable and very happy for the remainder of their livesâ&#x20AC;Ś Through his goodness and determination, he made life better for a lot of people.â&#x20AC;? The branch also handed out its Legionnaire of the Year award, with Larry Meisner taking home the honour. Meisner was credited with being a tireless worker, particularly as it related to the annual Poppy Campaign.

Lifetime memberships were also presented. Longtime member and active volunteer Gloria Siegner was given the honour in recognition of her work in the branch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known throughout our Legion that if one wants a job done or needs assistance with anything, one only needs to ask Comrade Siegner and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. Past-president Jack Magilton was also handed a lifetime membership. Smith acknowledged Magilton for helping to turn the legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances around, and for spearheading efforts for physical improvements at the branch building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came at a time when our Legion was on the verge of losing its charter,â&#x20AC;? said Smith, who added that if the policies and procedures implemented by Magilton are followed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will never place us in a position where we might lose our charter again.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without volunteers, there would be no legion,â&#x20AC;? said Branch President Jim Gardner, addressing all those who were recognized on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those who received recognition, please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there.

MONEY MATTERS / 11

B E AV E R

TIPS ON HOW TO PAY OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER

Let’s start by understanding how your mortgage payments are divided up. There are two main components to each payment you make on your mortgage; first is the interest portion, which is generally the majority of the payment in the beginning as the lender wants to get their money back first. Second part of the payment goes to paying back the principle or the original amount you borrowed. In almost every case the mortgage lender gives you the opportunity to pay off your mortgage faster without penalty, its just a matter of knowing what those opportunities are. The key to paying off any mortgage is to pay back the principle as fast as possible and reducing the amount of interest you have to pay, saving you thousands of dollars. THE THREE MOST COMMON WAYS TO PAY OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER: 1. Increase Your Payments. By increasing your payment by as little as $50 per month you could save as much as $14,000 over the life of the mortgage if the interest rate stayed the same for the life of the mortgage. Keep in mind that once you increase your payment it must stay that way for the year. That’s less than one extra large Double Double a day, is that something that you would be willing to do to save thousands of dollars and pay off your mortgage faster? Extra large coffee - $1.72 multiplied by 365 days divided by 12 months equals $52.32 per month. 2. Keep Your Payments the Same at Renewal. When your mortgage comes up for renewal at today’s historically low mortgage interest rates, keep your payments the same. Say you were paying 5.35% interest on a locked in five year mortgage, you renewed at today’s variable rate of 2.35% but kept your payments at the 5.35% rate, you could save close to $60,000 and take eight years off the life of your mortgage if the rate remained constant for the rest of the life of your mortgage. 3. Use an “Accelerated” Option for the Payment on Your Mortgage. Your payment will be almost the same

each month by choosing an accelerated payment option for your mortgage and save you money too. Accelerated weekly and bi-weekly payments can save you thousands of dollars and pay off your mortgage faster because you make one extra payment per year. There is no real advantage to accelerated weekly over accelerated bi-weekly unless it works better for you in how you get paid. Most lenders offer these options at no extra charge. 4. Make Lump Sum Payments. Most lenders offer this option as well. It is stated in your mortgage as to the maximum

amount that can be prepaid, usually 15-20% of the total mortgage per year over and above your normal mortgage payments. Don’t go over the percentage stated in your mortgage or the lender will penalize you. This money goes directly onto the principle because you are already making your regular mortgage payment which covers the interest being charged. Generally, it is best to make this lump sum payment the day after you make your mortgage payment to capitalize fully. Following these four tips for paying off your mortgage faster you can

save thousands of dollars and pay off your mortgage years sooner. Seeing as how your mortgage is probably one of your

largest household expenses, by paying it off sooner that money can be used to help you achieve other financial goals.

Gala gains support for L&A Community Living Special Olympics also benefitted from event BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

WO community organizations came together to put on an elegant gala to raise funds for individuals with developmental disabilities. Lennox and Addington Community Living and Special Olympics programs organized the ‘A Night to Feel Inspired’ gala, which was held at the Lafarge Banquet Hall at the Strathcona Paper Centre on Saturday. Directors said the success was also two-fold, being that it was a great fundraiser and networking event for the community. “This is our effort to combine some good people, having a good time, supporting these two very worthy causes,” said Hazel McHarg, Community Living director, during her speech at the gala.

the gala, Fabius explained partners are what make Community Living’s programs flourish. “While we provide support to over 100 individuals in our vast county, it is here where I am proud to share we have developed many wonderful partnerships. All in keeping with the spirit that our tagline expresses: inspiring possibilities.” Gail Maracle, community co-ordinator for Lennox and Addington Special Olympics, said their programs would not be possible without the tremendous support of the community. “We sincerely appreciate your support,” she said during her speech at the gala. In the future, she says she hopes the community will continue to support Special Olympics, Community Living L&A and the individuals the organizations serve, as it has done in the past.

Weather prolongs Storm’s year Deseronto to play make-up game tomorrow

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

f not for Friday’s blizzard, the Deseronto Storm would have concluded their season with Saturday’s 12-5 loss to the Campbellford Rebels. Instead the Storm will play one more game, making up for Friday’s home date with the Amherstview Jets which was snowed out. They’ll hope to use the extra chance to go out on a better note than Saturday, which they never lead. Steven Clarke and Jeremy Doherty put the Rebels ahead 2-0 with a pair of goals in the opening minute. Brandon Turner cut the lead in half at the two minute mark, but it was all downhill from there. Campbellford’s Tim Pandachuck, Andrew Revell, Seamus McDougall, Dylan Baxter and Jon Samis each potted a goal while Hunter Fargey had two before Turner could score again for the Storm. By then it was already 9-1 for the home side. The Storm did show some life in the third, outscoring their opponents 4-3 in the frame. Jordan Cannons and Corey Prince each had one while Turner picked up two, completing the hat trick. He also added an assist for a four point night. It marked his first three goal performance of his Junior C career and upped his goal output to seven on the season. Unfortunately there wasn’t much more for his team to celebrate as they suffered their 36th loss in 39 games played. Cannons had two helpers while Jesse Burtch added one. Given that they’ve averaged just over two

Raiders can’t avoid history Napanee wraps up season with franchise-low 10 wins

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

he Napanee Raiders closed out a disappointing season with a pair of ugly losses, getting outscored by a combined total of 15-4. Their final game, an 84 Tuesday night loss at home to the Port Hope Panthers, did end on a morale high. Napanee entered the third period down 6-1 before climbing back to 7-4. “It showed a lot of character for them to come out in the third period and play the way they did,” said Raiders head coach Scott Slack. “I’m sure the other bench was having visions of a comeback, they’ve done

it before.” Early on it looked like the Raiders were already thinking of the off-season, surrendering four unanswered goals in the first, two of which came on the power-play. They were also outshot 18-6. Joel Ferland finally got the home side on the board midway through the second, converting a pass from Evan Brown and Bud Norris. Port Hope’s Brad Heykoop scored his second of the game just 23 seconds into the third, seemingly sealing the game at 7-1. Napanee then put up one final fight as Norris, Matt Horton and Jesse Lloyd rattled off three straight goals in an 11 minute span.

The comeback ran out of steam from there and the Panthers were able to breathe a sign of relief, officially locking up second place with the win. On Sunday night the Raiders came out flat against Amherstview, laying a goose egg in a 7-0 thumping. The losses gave Napanee its worst season in franchise history, ending the year 10-27-2-1, placing fifth for the first time. They’ll also finish outside the playoffs for the first time in their 24-year-history. Their previous low came in 2002-03, when they went 11-19-1-3.

Brandon Turner collected the first hat trick of his Junior C career on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough as the Storm fell 12-5 in Campbellford.

goals a game this year (79 goals in 39 games), a five goal outburst was a minor victory in itself. With just eight skaters on the bench, the Storm kept their nose clean and avoided any power-plays. They were given just one of their own, which they didn’t convert into goal. They did however surrender a short-handed goal during that span. Cody Dafoe suffered the loss, stopping 37 of 49 shots. Tyler Delpellaro, who was making his first start of the year, recorded the win with 25 saves. Campbellford outshot the Storm 49-30. The game was number 40 for the Rebels, who finish the year 24-13-1-2, with 51 points. Storm fans will have one last chance to give the

team a send off as they host the Jets tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. Of their three wins this season, one of them came against the Jets, way back on Sept. 23. Since then Amherstview has reeled off six straight wins over the Storm. Though the game means nothing but pride for the Storm, the Jets will use the game as one final tune up before they get set to take on the first place Picton Pirates in a best-ofseven playoff series. Though the Jets can boast that they made the playoffs as the fourth and final seed, their reward is facing the 34-4-0-2 Pirates. The Jets are 23-15-0-1 on the year with 47 points on the year. Even with a win Friday, they won’t be able to climb the standings.

To reach the all-Canadian final, the Reds defeated the Dog River Howlers in the quarter-finals and a Japanese entry in the semifinals. Benn scored a critical try in the 14-7 semifinal win on Saturday.

The Maple Leaf Blacks, also a select team from Canada, went undefeated as well to earn their spot in Sunday's final.

ravelling to Ottawa for their final tournament, the SOS Inc Novice Crunch knew they would be in for some fast, competitive hockey. The girls arrived with their skates on ready to play, finishing as finalists, settling for silver medals. Round robin play found the girls with three solid wins with lopsided scores of 6-1, 5-0 and 7-2 placing them in second place in their pool. In the semifinal game Napanee took on a challenging Outawais team. Strong play between the pipes by Makenna Marlow found the Crunch on the winning end once again, defeating them 4-1. The Crunch ran out of

energy for their early morning final game, falling 5-2 to Russell. Napanee did secure the second place medal and proved to be one of the top teams in the entire tournament. The SOS Novice Crunch have had a very successful, fun, developing year. Members of the team are Marlow, Myla Pearson, Jaidyn Manion, Pearl Monk , Nikki Weese , Lila Pringle, Kristen Sutton, Heidi Rogers, Gracie Hughes, Abby Kish, Molly Dafoe , Saige Pearson, Hailey Thompson and Payton Barkley. The SOS Inc Crunch await their Championship Weekend with the Kingston House League to finish up their season.

It’s tough to come to the rink every night when you know you’re having a bad season.” Only Eric Dwyer, who started the year as captain but was limited to eight games because of injury, will be ineligible to return next year. The team will have to make some tough choices though as six players- Donny Emmons, Luke Emmons, Blade Grigg, Bud Norris, Chris Doyle and

Norris scored the most goals with 16, adding 14 assists. Evan Brown was the top scoring rookie, potting 14 goals and 13 assists.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK FINN PIERCE

Finn Pierce is a member of the Napanee ‘A’ major peewee Stars. He’s really elevated his game in the playoffs, helping the Stars pull off an upset in the first round of the quarter-finals. In nine games he has three shutouts while posting a 1.22 goalsagainst. He’s given his team a chance every night, never allowing more than two goals a game.

play a huge role in determining who comes back. He says the team is headed ‘back to the drawing board’ as they prepare to return to contention in 2014. As for Slack himself, who took over as head coach on an interim basis in November, he will return as an assistant coach. The team is yet to formally announce next year’s head coach. They may do that, as well as unveil a new look uniform, Feb. 26 at the year end banquet, which will be held at the Strathcona Paper Centre. As for the rest of the league, the playoffs shake down as follows. The first place Picton Pirates (34-40-2) host the fourth seed Amherstview Jets (23-150-1, with one game left). In the other series the Panthers (25-14-0-1) will host the (24-13-1-2) Campbellford Rebels. All series are best-of-seven. The winner of each advances to the Empire B League finals. From there the winner enters the Schmalz Cup playoffs, vying to become the province's top Junior C team. No Empire B League team has held that title since the 1993 Raiders. For leading the team in points, Luke Emmons is the Ontario Milk Marketing Board Raider of the week.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good” Psalm 136:1 Jim and Phyllis and their children give thanks to their Heavenly Father for His precious hand of healing on Phyllis and for the blessing of many friends, family and neighbours that have supported and cared for Jim and Phyllis during Phyllis’ weeks of recovery in hospital and since her return to home. The medical teams at both Kingston General Hospital and Lennox and Addington General Hospital gave Phyllis professional and compassionate care, for which we are very thankful. Heartfelt appreciation is extended to the Pastors and congregations of Napanee Standard Wesleyan and Roblin Wesleyan Churches for their visits, prayers, cards and flowers.

Hospital Foundation prepares for 50th L&A County General’s archives being organized, digitized; anniversary book in the works BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

A 50th anniversary is a big one — and preparations have already begun at the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital, more than three years in advance. The LACGH Foundation is in the process of reviewing and organizing its archival materials with the intent of not only digitizing those materials, but compiling some of that material into a book to be published in time for the hospital’s 50th anniversary in September 2016. Both Foundation Vice-Chair Ernie Doughty and Financial Coordinator Michelle Dickerson say that they’ve barely scratched the surface of the project so far. “I don’t know how we inherited it, but all the archival stuff ended up with the Foundation,” said Doughty, who recently compiled a history of the Napanee’s Union Masonic Lodge for its 200th anniversary. “Quite honestly, we don’t even know what’s there. The first step is to go through everything and find out what is in our records.” “What we wanted to start doing is just to go through briefly and very quickly to see what we have there as far as timelines. We’ve started an inventory block just to see what we have here, develop a timeline for it, and start to incorporate it into digital form,” added Dickerson. Even at this early stage, Dickerson and Doughty are finding

some interesting tidbits of information. One is that community leaders in Lennox and Addington first began “official” discussions around the possibility of establishing a hospital in the county as early as 1850. It would be more than a century, however, before those discussions would really take off. Based on records dating back to 1958, it was clear that those lobbying for a hospital in L&A had the numbers on their side: in that year, there were, on average, almost 100 people from L&A who were hospitalized at either Belleville General Hospital or Kingston General Hospital on any given day. “There was no hospital here, so they had to be in Kingston or Belleville,” said Doughty. “That was one of the reasons why the hospital was needed, and that was one of the criteria for promoting it.” Doughty said that figure doesn’t include those who were waiting to get into either the Belleville or Kingston hospitals, or how many lives could have been saved if a hospital were located closer to home. The sod was turned for the hospital in August 1964. The first patients were admitted to LACGH in March 1966. Doughty and Dickerson said the Foundation will also accept suitable donated materials relating to the hospital’s history from members of the public. Those with materials can contact Dickerson at the Foundation office at 613-3543301 Ext. 400.

‘Readers Become Leaders’

Local libraries collect books to send overseas

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

‘Readers become leaders’ is the motto Jackie Hassefras stands by, having travelled to some of the poorest countries in the world and seen the difference just a few books can make. Hassefras, who serves as branch supervisor for the Camden East and Odessa branches of the Lennox and Addington County libraries, is on a mission promote literacy abroad. She’s reaching out to the L&A community, asking for used book donations that she’ll use to stock libraries in Pretoria, South Africa, which sit vacant. Working with Library Aid International, and a group of eight local volunteers, she’s hoping to provide the same access to literacy that every Canadian enjoys. “By expanding this literary project, my feeling and my experience has been that there is an impetus for change, which I believe the Third World needs,” said Hassefras. “English is a very important language to Africa. They teach in English, they don’t teach in their native language. There are 16 different indigenous languages in Africa, but they teach in English. The problem is it’s an adulterated English.” Hassefras had her eyes opened during her first goodwill trip with the nonprofit organization Into All the World, to Zanzibar, a small island near Tanzania, Africa. She brought with her 16 laptop computer and spent a month setting up a library/technology centre in All Nation’s Academy-an Eng-

A group of volunteers at the Odessa Library have begun collecting books, which they'll hand deliver to South Africa once they fill 600 boxes. From left is Joseph Hassefras with his son Robert and wife Jackie, as well as Lyn Stockdale. They're reaching out to the public in to donate gently used books. lish primary school. She called the experience life changing, making as much of an impact on her life as it did those she was assisting. Shortly after that trip she learned of Library Aid International, which ships gently used books to developing countries with the goal of promoting literacy. She’s now hoping to gather 600 banana boxes full of roughly 11,000 books, which she’ll personally

deliver to Pretoria and help establish their libraries. “When you walk into a library in developing Africa, 9/10ths of those libraries do not have any books at all,” she said. “The shelves are bare. When I go to set up a library and there are no books, how do I set up a library? How do I teach staff that will be replacing me how to research if there are no materials for

SKIES | ‘A really unique product’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 to make this happen, but when it’s all said and done we’re attracting a lot of new visitors to L&A County and its created a lot of awareness for us as well.” The viewing area features parking, a concrete slab that’s ideal for photographers or people with telescopes to set up tripods and rocks to sit on. It was set up in a spot that offers pristine star gazing conditions, devoid of the ambient light of major cities. It’s been hailed by experts as one of the best spots to admire the night sky in North America. “We knew we had a really unique product, but we’re seeing many people, astronomers and nonastronomers, are excited about coming here and viewing that space,” said Paul.

“I think for our perspective (the award) allows us to grow the product.” Winners for each category of the EDCO’s awards were selected by a panel of judges who reviewed entries that covered everything from promotional brochures to infrastructure development projects. All told, about 600 townships and private businesses belong to EDCO. While the award itself was nice, Paul is more interested in helping to spread the word about the area. It’s opened year round and is free for anyone to use. The hope is that star gazers from across the province will make the trek to L&A, visiting local businesses while they’re in town. Paul says this coming tourism season the county will focus on marketing its attractions, such as great

cycling and motorcycle routes as well as its unhindered evening skies. To highlight their motorcycle haven, they’ll be hosting a Motorcycle Readiness Workshop next Wednesday at the Kaladar Community Centre from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The workshop will be aimed at business owners, showcasing how to make their shops more attractive to motorcycle tourists. As for the Dark Sky Viewing Area, any clear night is great for sky watching, but this month in particular provides a great opportunity to view Jupiter. According to Terrence Dickinson, editor of SkyNews Magazine, all February Jupiter will be the second brightest celestial object in the sky, aside from the Moon. As the sky darkens Jupiter will be found in the southeast with a steady creamy white colour. For more information on the area, visit www.DarkSkyViewing.com.

that purpose? That’s why I became involved with Library Aid International.” Encyclopaedias, nonfiction and books aimed at remedial to Grade 6 aged youths are the ideal books Hassefras is searching for. That’s not to say all books aren’t welcome, as they’re sure to find a use for any material they receive. Along with reading material Hassefras is looking for volunteers to help sort

books and pack boxes as well as anyone willing to donate storage space for three to six months. The space doesn’t have to be heated, but they do need a spot to store 600 banana boxes before they’re ready to be shipped. Monetary donations are also encouraged, as they’ll need to raise $6,000 just to rent the shipping container to transport them by boat. When they collect

enough books, Hassefras, her husband Richard and five-year-old son Joseph and any other willing volunteers, will fly to Durbin, South Africa, to receive the shipment and bring it to Pretoria. “There’s a lot of scamming going on,” said Hassefras. “That’s why I like to go there and see what’s happening and bring things with me so that first hand I know it’s going to meet the needs of these people.” Anyone interested in donating time to help sort and pack, money, books or even travelling to South Africa for a month, can contact her at library@cfla.on.ca, 613542-0034 (work) or 613352-5368 (home). She estimates that volunteers would pay about $2,000 out of pocket for flight and accommodations while there. Cheque donations over $20, which can be made payable to All the World, are eligible for a tax receipt. “It would totally benefit the Third World and benefit those who donate their skill set,” said Hassefras. “Money is not an object. Funds can be raised. It’s more time and a willingness to participate (that is really needed.)” Along with delivering books, the volunteer team will also assist in gardening and construction education, helping to build infrastructure in otherwise desolate rural areas. Though they won’t leave until they have a full load of books, her son is already counting down. “Joseph asks me every day, ‘are we going to Africa today mom?’” she said.

GARNEAU | Hard work ahead for party CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “They have not done a good job with respect to the economy,” he said, highlighting the fact that the preceding Liberal government presided over several budget surpluses during their 13 years in office. Garneau advocated for a more diversified economic strategy. “Mr. Harper is a one-trick pony.” he said. “He just wants to develop our resources. Yes, those resources do bring wealth into the country. There’s nothing wrong with developing them responsibly. What he is not developing… is the knowledge-based economy. We have the potential, that other resource in Canada: the people of Canada. The educated people of Canada should be doing a lot more in terms of being innovative. “The centre of economic gravity has shifted to the west, away from Ontario, because Mr. Harper has not paid enough attention to the manufacturing sector and the innovation economy in this part of the country,” he continued. “I will focus relentlessly on that, because I know that federal policy can do a lot to make us more competitive.” Garneau said that a Liberal Party, under his leadership, would take an evidence-based approach to developing policy — whether it be in developing economic

policy, environmental policy or law-andorder policy. “We are the party that believes in scientific evidence when we make policy. That’s why I promise you that we will bring back the long-form census as soon as we are back in the Government in Canada. It’s the most accurate database for formulating policy in this country. It’s an important scientific database,” he said. “We are the party that recognizes that global warming is happening. We are the party that recognizes that crime has been on the decrease for the last four decades, and that instead of filling prisons, we need to work on prevention strategies,” Garneau continued. Garneau also pledged to institute democratic reforms, such as introducing guidelines for the use of ‘omnibus’ legislation, and for when it’s acceptable for MPs to break from party ranks on votes in the House of Commons. He said that if the Liberals are to wrest power from the Conservatives, it will come as the result of hard work. “We as Liberals have been successful in the past. We need to make some changes. We can’t live in the past. We’re proud of it, but we can’t live in it. There are no shortcuts. We have to regain the confidence of Canadians by showing them we understand the issues that matter to them,” he said.

Napanee Minor Hockey Report

Stars see plenty of Uxbridge as playoffs continue Staff Reporter

xbridge has been the playoff destination for many NDMH teams: Peewee AEs, Peewee Minors, Atom Minors, and Midget Minors. Now, add Boyd Electric Peewee Majors to that list, as they have reached the quarter finals. Of the eight Peewee A Lakeshore teams, surprisingly, only seven seed Uxbridge and eight seed Napanee remain. The Boyd Electric boys closed out their second round of OMHA playoffs with the Kingston Canadians on the strength of a 3-2 overtime win. Ninety seconds in, Ethan Winter netted a rebound of Eric Joyner’s point shot. Nelson Powers also assisted. Logan White made it 20 from behind the net, assisted by Steven Shea and Powers. The visitors scored in the last 30 seconds of the first, and in the third, they banked one in off a skate to overcome the deficit, and force overtime. Adam Doyle, the game’s hero, jammed at a loose puck, a couple minutes into overtime to end the series. Earlier, the Peewee As defeated the Canadians 2-0 at Centre 70. Hemmed in their own end for the first minute of the game, on their first opportunity for offense, Shea scored at 1:18. For insurance, Eli Brown took a feed from Powers, and scored with less than eight minutes left in the contest. It was another night of solid defensive play from goalie, Finn Pierce and the rest of the boys. Napanee will face Uxbridge at home on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. n This season, the Napanee Peewee AE Stars went 0-4 against the Clarington Toros. Unfortunately for the Stars, the postseason hasn’t been any rosier as far as the Toros are concerned. The Stars dropped the first two games of their best-of-seven OMHA quarter-final series against Clarington, with the Toros taking Game 1 by a 9-1 score and Game 2 9-2. In Game 1, Brock Vale scored Napanee’s only goal, converting on a pass from Kiel Benton. In Game 2, Kolten Montpetit scored after taking a feed from Cal DuChene. Vale got his second goal of the series, with Benton and Michael Lloyd notching assists on the play. The Stars were badly outshot in both games, but netminders Nolan Hatch (Game 1) and Cole East (Game 2) made some big saves to prevent things from getting even more lopsided. Napanee will look for solutions to the Toro problem in practice this week, with Game 3 scheduled to take place in Clarington on Saturday, and Game 4 scheduled for the Strathcona Paper Centre’s

Goodyear rink on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. n The Country Traditions Novice A Stars played the first two games of the quarter-finals over the weekend and came out with two wins. The Stars won the first against Ajax 6-0. Scoring were Cal Uens (two), Quinton Pierce, Ty Kemp, Owen Gibson and Cole Campbell. Assists went to Ben Albright, Lukas Hannah and Uens. Corbin Votary earned his first shutout of the playoffs. The second of the day against Ajax was a 7-1 win. Scoring were Uens (three), Campbell (two), Ty Kemp and Reid Lambert. Assisting were Mason Arthur, Lambert, Uens and Gibson. Ryan Aldridge went the distance in net. The Stars will travel to Ajax for Games 3 and 4, if necessary. n The Novice AEs eked out a 2-1 win in Oshawa Saturday to start their playoffs. Spencer Cranley and Brody Beaubien scored, while assists went to Bailey-Cook Martin and Dawson Wales. Nathaniel Cinnamon got the win in net. Sunday, they turned it up a notch to win 5-2. Cranley broke in to score with 4.3 seconds left in the first. Ben Huyck made it 2-1 on a nice play. With 2:55 left, Dawson Wales slid a long shot under a sprawling goalie. Early in the third, Cranley sent a pass from the high slot to the side of the net where Bailey CookMartin buried it. Gavin Brooks found a puck on the edge of the blue ice and tucked it home. Assists were also gained by Aiden Haller-Brady, Carter McKee (two), Connor McGinnis, Cook-Martin, and Wales. n The Napanee Juveniles had another strong outing with Quinte West, and trailed 2-1 with less than five minutes remaining. Two unanswered goals late in the third led to a 4-1 loss. Curtis Kimmett had the loan goal assisted by Jeremiah Lynch. n The L&A Mutual Major Atoms were doubled up 105 by Pickering Sunday. Zack Doyle scored on a fine individual effort, while Josh Chadwick tallied on a point shot. Doyle also worked his magic to score again later. Their fourth was a fine two-way passing play with Mason Barker setting up Nolan Gunter. The two also combined for the final marker. n Saturday the Minor Atom As came out strong to lead 2-0 by mid-game, and finished solidly to double Ajax 6-3. Scoring for the Stars were John Hearns with two, Jacob Boutilier, Josh Reid, Ben White, and Caden Holmes. Blake Maracle, Connor Brooks, Holmes, Hearns, and White chipped in assists. Sunday in Kingston,

they continued the round robin with a solid 4-1 victory. n The Napanee Giant Tiger Bantam A Stars, after having Friday’s game cancelled by the snowstorm, faced Pickering, and came out on the wrong side of a 4-0 score. A spirited contest, their opponents earned 30 minutes in penalties to Napanee’s 26. n Exit Realty Minor Midgets were host to Quinte West on Wednesday in Lakeshore League playoffs. The Stars took an early lead in the first period with Bryce Slack netting one from Michel Samson and Riley West. Josh Durnan tallied one of his own in the second from Parker Watson and Chase Dowdle. The game belonged to the Stars with effective defensive and offensive play, outstanding goaltending by Igy, until a scrum, started by a Quinte West player running Igy in the Stars’ net at 1:33 in the third period, saw two, 4minute penalties assigned to the Stars, putting the boys down 5 on 3 and then 6 on 3. Quinte West was able to squeak out the tie. Sunday, they travelled to Lindsay for their second meeting of playoffs. Lindsay was the dominant team and won the game 6-0. Igy had the start in net - Hayden Ford shared duties and played well. Last Friday’s cancelled game with Uxbridge will be played at home Saturday at 7 p.m. n The Peewee Roster Selects, in a strong outing to start the Under the Lock Tournament outdoors, defeated Peterborough 7-2. In the evening, they lost to the West Hill Majors 4-1. Sunday morning they tied

Patients at L&A County General Hospital will benefit from a new cardiac Holter monitor, thanks to the $2,682 donation made recently by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137 Napanee. The branch has a long history of donating to the hospital as local veterans and their families use their community hospital for their health care needs. To date, the local branch has donated more than $63,000 to improve health care in the community. From the 175 collection boxes located in businesses and establishments and member canvassing, nearly $20,000 was raised from the 2012 poppy drive. The Lennox & Addington County General Hospital Foundation says it is grateful for public support of the Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poppy Fund Campaign to fund hospital medical equipment.

Lennox Theatre opens The Cemetery Club Dramatic comedy is the first show of 2013 Staff Reporter

The Lennox Community Theatre group will be presenting a dramatic comedy about three widows and a widower. Performances will begin later this month. The Cemetery Club, written by Ivan Menchell and directed by Andy Palmer, will play at the theatre in Selby starting Feb. 22. Sandy Johnson, Shari Maracle and Natalie Martin will play the three main characters, while Geoff Johnson will play a widower. “It’s a touching, heartwarming story about three widows who the author has chosen to represent the various aspects of widowhood, if you will, in each of the three individuals,” explained Palmer. “These three women have been lifelong friends,

they know all of each other’s idiosyncrasies and there’s lots of very funny repartee between them all. There’s lots of great situation humour and it has moments of everything – moments of laughter, moments of joy, moments with a bit of sadness. It’s a great show for actors and it’s a great show for audiences.” Palmer said they performed the play 15 years ago and since it was so well-received and liked, they’ve decided to bring it back with a new cast. “It’s a terrific story and I think the audiences will really be engaged by the storyline. It’s a great script, very well written. There’s lots of situation humour and lots of wit humour. So it’s one that you’ll want to listen closely to and I think people will enjoy it,” said Palmer.

The performance will run at 8 p.m. on Feb. 22, 23 and 28 as well as on March 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9. Matinees will play at 2 p.m. on Feb. 24 and March 3. Tickets are $15 and $12 for seniors during Sunday performances. “Everything we do here we try to keep things reasonably light, that’s what the audiences like. It’s community theatre, we’re here to serve the community and they like something with good entertainment value and good story lines and that’s one of the reasons that we like The Cemetery Club.” The next show will begin in mid April and will be a musical called, Funny, you don’t look like a Grandmother. “It’s light and it’s upbeat and the music is terrific. It’s lively, it should be great,” said Palmer.

Local vet to use bicycle on road to recovery Napanee’s Andrew Godin to participate in Big Battlefield Bike Ride in Europe this May

BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

A military veteran residing in Napanee will be participating in a six-day, 600kilometre bike ride from Paris, France to London, England, as part of an advocacy campaign for Canadian veterans’ health. Andrew Godin retired from the military in 2006 after a 20-year career. He was faced with a number of disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder, which he said many military men and women struggle with in silence. With few resources to assist people struggling with such disorders, Godin has made it his goal to help others in similar situations. “For me, it started when I was on my way out of the military and I was very sick and was losing my job… it was very traumatic,” said Godin. “Being diagnosed with a mental injury versus something physical that you can put a band-aid on or throw a pill at, it was very difficult. I spent a lot of time trapped in my basement, trapped in my house. I couldn’t leave; I couldn’t interact outside of my door.” Wounded Warriors Canada now has a program called ‘All the Way Home,’ which focuses on helping soldiers dealing with such disorders. The idea is that these people have left a part of themselves in the war zone; the program

Battlefield Bike Ride participants lay wreaths at the Canadian Vimy Ridge Memorial in France. focuses on the recovery of not just physical but mental and spiritual trauma. When Godin was first diagnosed, he said he no longer had his “military family” to rely on and was forced to face much of the difficulties alone. Godin is now part of Operational Stress Injury Support Services and focuses on helping others recover and live day-to-day with the disorders they develop while serving the military. “It was the early days of those group meetings that was painful, very painful, because a lot of the guys that are there are describing similar things that I went through when I was

making my transition. And that’s how I started on the road for advocacy,” he said. “There’s an old soldier saying that goes, ‘you never leave a man behind’ and even though I’m retired and gone, as long as I still have a breath in my body, I’m going to be making it easier for the guys that are coming after me.” Part of his advocacy will be in participating in the second annual Big Battlefield Bike Ride (BBBR), from Paris to London, on May 27, alongside other Canadian soldiers. Captain Wayne Johnston initiated BBBR and is also the founder of Wounded Warriors Canada. He has served 39 years in the

Canadian Armed Forces and plans to retire soon. Like Godin, Johnston has been advocating for veteran’s health for years. Johnston’s efforts really began in 2006 when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb near Kandahar City, which sent a 20-year-old Mike McTeague to the hospital. Johnston had recruited the young man who had been serving in the military two years. Johnston was assigned as McTeague’s Assisting Officer (a soldier who comes home with a wounded or deceased soldier to assist the family) and noticed how few services there were in place. He started an initiative

with $7,500 and now in 2013, has raised over $3 million for veterans’ assistance. Today, the registered charity name is The Sapper Mike McTeague Wounded Warrior Fund. “We’re a charity event now, that very much focuses on mental health. I’m also a big believer in ‘honour the fallen by helping the living,’” said Johnston. “We do all sorts of programs. We do service animals for people with posttraumatic stress disorder, we run retreats, we do a hands-up programs, which is when we give people ‘a hand-up’ if they go into the trades by giving them $5,000 worth of tools to give them a hands-up to start their life again.” Seven years since Wounded Warriors Canada was founded, Johnston and Godin both said services have improved but agree there is still a long way to go. “Now we’re very much focusing on the affects of this war and by and large mental health,” said Johnston. “The stigma still remains, absolutely still remains, for mental health. But it remains not just for the Forces but also for everything. How many of your peers will say, ‘I just went to the physiatrist today,’ so that’s not just a CF problem.” Johnston said a large part of their programming is “getting them to socialize again,” which is where the BBBR comes in. “Like this bike ride,

while it’s a physical challenge, it’s also a mental challenge. The bike ride forces the socialization,” said Johnston. “The problem within the CF (Canadian Forces) is that we’ve had men and women who have seen some pretty horrific things and we probably have a larger preponderance of it.” Godin said it’s hard for a soldier to accept that they need help. “You have to understand what a solder is made of, what they’re like. These are people that are trained to go to the worst places in the planet, do the worst jobs imaginable, and do it day in and day out. “And mental illness or any injury was a sign of weakness so a lot of these guys and girls would suffer in silence until one day they can’t perform their duties anymore, in which case they’re no longer of any use to the military. Or they take the easy route and commit suicide.” Godin said there have already been two to three suicides in the Kingston region this year by ex-military members. The BBBR is an initiative to raise awareness and funds for “soldiers suffering in silence,” not just in Canada but also worldwide. Those interested in supporting Godin in the BBBR, another solider, or the cause, can donate through the Canada Helps website, www.canadahelps.org, and enter ‘Mike McTeague.’

Local Youth Centre tries to turn ‘Junk into Funk’

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Combine recycled materials, a group of artistic Grade 7 and 8s with some Loyalist College volunteers, and the end result is bound to yield some interesting designs. At least that’s the hope of the Greater Napanee Youth Drop-In Centre, which launched a new 10-week program last Thursday. Branded as Junk Geniuses — Turning Junk into Funk, the after-school program caters to aspiring artists. “We’re interested in creativity and art, so we developed the program,” said Bob Millard, Loyalist College faculty supervisor for the program. “We met with four elementary school principals (from J.J. O'Neill, Selby Public School, The Prince Charles and Southview Public School). They picked students from their school they thought would be a good fit for this program.” Helping to run the project are members of Loyalist College’s Enactus team, who have volunteered their time. The students were broken into groups and will now meet once a week at the

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

Greater Napanee's Youth Drop-in Centre held their first Junk into Funk after school meeting last Thursday, challenging elementary school students to create art using recycled materials. Students (from left) Jessica Quayle, Wyatt Graham, Kendall Yach and Allen Dillenbeck show off their creations at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Strathcona Paper Centre, working on an art masterpiece made of donated used materials. As an introduction to the project the kids were given some arts and craft materials and some styrofoam cups and told to create a design

for a new invention. That was just a prelude to their next big assignment, which will see them build something to display in downtown Napanee. “We’re going to have an auction,” Millard says of what will happen when the

creations are complete. “Downtown businesses have already contacted us and they’re interested in purchasing six or so for the windows of their stores.” No date for the auction has been set as of yet, but Millard says it won’t be too

long after April 11, the final week of the project. Tentatively, the auction is slated to take place at Southview Public School. “We’re trying to raise awareness in the community and get people to say ‘wow, look at the artistic abilities

of these kids,’” added Millard. Millard says he’s seen similar programs have drastic effects on kids who feel like they don’t belong because they don’t excel in sports. Often picked on, nurturing their artistic hobbies can provide a huge boost to their self esteem. The Junk to Funk program is an offshoot of one developed by Loyalist graduate Jean Ellis, who ran a similar program with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. She was on hand Thursday to help launch the Napanee program and will be back for the auction. Beth Lessard, who runs the Greater Napanee Youth Drop-in Centre, was looking for an artistic program to add to the group, and Junk to Funk meshed perfectly.

VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Try not to participate in any new activities this week. You are already over-extended. Clear your to-do lists before you take on any other responsibilities.

Come visit Anna at her office in the Lenadco Medical Building.

With spring around the corner, many of us are considering putting our house on the market, as a continuation to last week’s column, here are the remaining five tips to sell your home fast and for the most

money. FRESH COAT OF PAINT Walls and trim tend to have a few scuff marks after being lived in. An easy fix is to freshen up your rooms with a can of paint. Fix problem areas in your walls, and touch up with paint. Consider painting dark rooms a lighter shade to make the room seem bigger and brighter. As much as you love your red walls or other decorative colour, your buyer may not. It is best to go with a neutral clean palette for the most potential to home buyers. Paint is an inexpensive way to freshen up your home. SPACE We want our homes to feel large and spacious. We want there to be room to play, entertain and live. Especially do your potential buyers. Remove some pieces of your furniture to allow good movement in your home. If your home is tight and cramped, the buyer is going to think the same when their furniture is in. Allow the buyer to see the beauty in your home’s “bones”. Your home may seem bare after cleaning out a few pieces, but to buyers, they see a spacious home, with room for their belongings. LET THE LIGHT IN When selling your home, keep things bright. Open your curtains/blinds; sunlight is the best light. Make sure your windows are washed; it makes a great difference in the amount of sunlight getting in. Dimly lit rooms tend to feel small and dirty. Consider painting dark rooms a lighter colour to let light bounce and reflect off the walls. Turn on all lights, both ceiling and mood lighting when showing a home. FRESH FLOWERS A finishing touch to your ‘show home’ is to add fresh flowers or plants. You don’t need to spend much money on this. Potted flowering plants found at the grocery store are great; they last a few weeks and add colour to your home. Fresh herbs are great for your kitchen. A small vase with a single stem gives a fresh look throughout your home. Stay away from fake flowers and plants. You can easily see the difference, and they tend to collect dust. AROMA Let the outdoors in; open windows half an hour before a showing. Fresh air gets rid of that stuffy smell, or smoke and pet odors. You may want to use a candle or other fragrance, but stay away from a heavy, powerful scent. Fresh, clean, light scents are the best choice, and most appealing to buyers. With these ten low cost tips your home is sure to look like a ‘show home’ and ready for the real estate market. With spending a little time and money, you are going to sell your home faster and for more money. Still need a little help, I’ll recommend wall colours, rearranging of furniture, art, and accessories, decluttering your home, and give your home the ‘wow factor’ to get your home sold faster, or to make your home more enjoyable to live in. Be sure to keep reading this column as I offer you my professional advice in staging your home in the real estate market. I can be reached at 613-561-0244 or merolatahamtandesigns@live.ca

“The theme fits right in with Doghouse Studios… it’s a very rustic atmosphere, it’s beautiful.” Jen Fitzpatrick, Serendipity Studios

lowers, dresses, caterers, photographers, venues, decorations: for some, planning the perfect wedding can be completely overwhelming, while others jump right in with ease. But no matter what stage of wedding planning you’re at, or whether you’re completely organized or utterly baffled and overwhelmed, networking can help brides of all kinds. Napanee’s 2013 Bridal Gala is set for Feb. 24 and will bring together more than 20 vendors, a fashion show and four public speakers. The theme is ‘Shabby-Chic’, and it will be take place at a new venue: Doghouse Studios. “The theme fits right in with the Doghouse Studios, where there’s

exposed walls and beams and it’s a very rustic atmosphere, it’s beautiful,” said Jen Fitzpatrick, of Serendipity Studios, organizing the event. Also new this year is a grand prize of $500, on top of door prizes for decorating, flowers, centrepieces, photography and others. “One of the new features this year is a $500 cash grand prize and that can be for a bride, a groom or a guest who comes to the bridal gala and buys

a ticket,” she said. “We’ve given away door prizes before but we’ve never given away this much in cash as well as what people are giving for credits. … They’re just a lot higher this year, which is great.” Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Fitzpatrick was also excited to announce tickets could be bought online this year, at www.onestopweddingshoppe.ca. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with lunch catered by Cedar Crest Catering. It will be offered from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the bridal lounge for $7 a plate. Lily’s Bridal will run a fashion show at 2 p.m., which will also include a presentation about this year’s biggest fashion trends and popular colours.

Proper etiquette for save-the-date cards More and more couples planning to walk down the aisle are embracing save-the-date cards to give guests adequate notice that there is a party on the horizon. Save-the-date cards do more than let guests know when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting hitched. The cards are a preliminary way to keep guests informed and let them know they are, in fact, on the guest list. These cards havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been so popular, but have risen in popularity due to longer engagement periods, a growing number of destination weddings and the growing number of couples with guests from all over the country, if not the world. Considering people often plan business trips, vacations and other excursions several months in advance,

save-the-date cards help secure a greater number of attendees at your wedding. Save-the-date announcements can vary in many ways. They may be postcards or magnets that can be attached to a refrigerator door. If you desire a cohesive theme to your wedding stationery, select the save-thedate cards at the same time you choose your wedding invitations. This way you can ensure that either the patterns, fonts, colours, or style of the cards will match. It will also help convey the tone of the wedding. Guests often take their cues regarding the level of formality of the wedding from the type of stationery couples choose.

When to send out the save-the-date announcements is important as well. As a general rule of thumb, it is wise to mail out the cards six months in advance for a standard wedding. If the wedding requires travel or extended overnight accommodations, you may want to mail them out eight months to a year in advance to give guests the time to investigate flight costs and hotel

arrangements. A wedding also may necessitate planning a vacation or personal time off from work. Therefore, ample advanced notice is advisable. Be sure to make your guest list in advance of sending out save-the-date cards. Everyone who receives a card should also be sent an invitation prior to the wedding. Remember to include any members of your planned wedding party in the list of recipients. Just because a person

has verbally confirmed attendance at your wedding doesn’t mean they should be excluded from subsequent announcements. Guests may talk to one another and it is best to avoid hurt feelings and any added drama before the wedding by treating everyone equally. Be sure to include the wedding date, your names and the location of the wedding on the save-the-date cards. You do not need to offer RSVP information or detailed specifics at this time. You may want to include a website URL on the card so guests can check it frequently for updates on wedding information. Be sure to also include that a formal invitation will follow at a later date. You do not want to cause confusion by having guests think that the save-the-date card is the actual invitation. Also, make sure you address the save-the-date cards correctly to show your intentions with respect to guest invites. For example, be clear about whether children will be invited and whether a boyfriend/girlfriend or another guest can tag along. Although save-the-date cards are not a necessity, they have become a popular part of wedding planning to eliminate confusion about invitations as well as help guests plan time off for your wedding.
