Tuesday afternoon, what had initially been reported by OPP as a “serious incident” became classified as a homicide. Twenty-eight-year-old Nicole Guimond was found dead at a residence on Creighton Drive in Odessa on Sunday. Ongoing investigation by police determined that Guimond had been murdered. Travis Sayyeau, 24, was also found at the scene and transported to hospital for treatment of his injuries. He later died. Police determined that his death was not the result of foul play. Police got the call to respond shortly before noon on Valentine’s Day. The investigation was carried out by the Napanee OPP’s Crime Unit under the direction of OPP Detective Inspector Peter Donnelly of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch. According to various media reports, Guimond had been in a relationship with Sayyeau, but the relationship had recently ended. Despite the breakup, the two continued to share the house in Odessa.

Greater Napanee

Despite local protest, council OKs ‘hobby farm’

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

After purchasing an 83-acre lot on Sherman’s Point Road, one couple faced a petition from neighbours and questions from council concerning their intent for the land. Pierre Burger, the new landowner, was one of four deputations to council during its regular council meeting last Tuesday. Council also heard from neighbours Karla Maki-Esdon and Bill Lee opposing Burger, and neighbours Martha Downey and her spouse Cecil

Leonard in favour. Since Burger purchased the land in his company’s name, Acxiz Inc., it raised a number of concerns with neighbours regarding how the Burgers plan to develop the land and how, or if, it would affect the small community of just over 20 homes. On paper, Burger’s intended use for the property was for agricultural uses. In person last Tuesday, he admitted this was vague and left lots of room for speculation. “It is going to be a hobby farm. We might have a couple of chickens, we don’t

know yet. We’re still in the planning phases,” he said. “We are not the corporate giants we have been made out to be.” In his statement to council, Burger explains how he and his wife are conservationists and hope to preserve the more than 80 acre lot of land to enjoy wildlife. “We plan to clear the tall grassed area of the property to re-attract natural wildlife as best we can and to maintain the natural habitat and forest areas undisturbed and intact as best we can as stewards of this beautiful farm… We will be building a riverfront home along the water side of the property as our primary residence while in Canada for summers, this will follow shortly on the completion of building of the storage building,” his wrote in his statement. “The use of the farm will be for the least impact on the environment that you could possibly think of,” Burger reiterated to council on Tuesday. “All we plan to do is to improve the quality of wildlife in the area.”

He also explained why he decided to purchase the property in his company’s name, rather than his own. “Acxiz is our holding company for all the properties we own. We own properties in the Bahamas and some other places around the world, but that’s really what this company does, it just manages all these properties for us,” Burger explained. Part of the reason for concern by neighbours was due to an application Burger made regarding a 3,300 square foot shed — the storage building he referred to earlier. Neighbours were concerned the shed would be large enough to house large farm equipment and other needs for a large scale farm; however, Burger said this is not the case. Ward 2 Councillor Max Kaiser, who also owns a large farm, said the size of the shed should not be cause for concern. “The comment has come up about the shed, the 3,300 square foot ginormous shed. My shed on the farm is about 6,000 square feet and

I call it a shed, and to contrast that, the garage attached to my house is about 1,000 square feet,” Kaiser said. Another concern raised was about a second entrance to the property, which would go to the shed. Neighbours, councillors, staff and the Bergers discussed possible entrance options; finally the application for the shed was put off and council directed staff to survey the best possible place for a second entrance, either at the cul de sac or as close to it as possible. “We simply don’t care where the entrance is,” said Burger, who said he was willing to co-operate with the municipality in order to satisfy the neighbours and the town with a location for the entrance. Despite Maki-Esdon’s and Lee’s deputations to council, and the petition signed by almost all the Sherman’s Point Road land owners, council decided not to interfere with the Burger’s plans. “I don’t see any legitimate reason to block this pro-

posal… Other than for the sake of an apparent sense of tranquility, or a loss thereof, for these 23 lot owners and I don’t think that’s necessarily enough because taking Mr. Burger at face value, I don’t see the intent to really be that impacting on the neighbourhood,” said Kaiser. Burger assured council and the neighbours that a large agricultural project is not in his plans, since he and his wife spend six months of the year in their Bahamas home and plan to only spend three to four months of the year in their Sherman’s Point Road home. “If it was only a home here, I don’t think anybody would have great objections to welcoming another member to their small community. On the face of it, we’re dealing with compatible people across the board. Their intent is to become seasonable members of this small community,” Kaiser added. Council ultimately passed the bylaw permitting the development unanimously.

Police Beat

OPP lay two impaired driving charges over weekend Beaver Staff

Napanee OPP nabbed a pair of suspected impaired drivers in two separate incidents over the weekend. On Sunday at 9:10 p.m., an officer with the Napanee detachment was dispatched to a complaint of a vehicle driving erratically on County Road 2 just outside Napanee. While on their way to the call, the officer came across a single vehicle collision on Dundas Street near Alma Street in Napanee involving the vehicle that was the subject of the traffic complaint. The driver was transported to hospital where he was treated and released. Charged with impaired

operation of a motor vehicle and having more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system is a 72-year-old man from Belleville. He is to appear in provincial court in Napanee on March 8. Early Saturday at 12:45 a.m., an officer with the Napanee OPP stopped a vehicle for excessive speed on Highway 401 near Napanee. The driver was subsequently arrested for impaired driving. A 66-year-old Scarborough man faces charges of impaired driving, driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system and stunt driving. The man was released on a promise to appear and is in court on March 1.

TransCanada to team Taxation committee to push with Habitat for Humanity OPP for more policing data BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA

BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

REATER Napanee’s taxation policy review committee is going directly to the OPP to get the policing information it needs for its deliberations. At its latest meeting Tuesday night, the committee directed chair Gary Scandlan to ask the OPP to provide a breakdown of calls for service based on geographic location and by different kinds of calls for service. The committee’s push for information came a week after Greater Napanee council elected not to request policing information on the committee’s behalf on the basis that the council should not interfere with the committee’s work. Town staff also indicated that such information rests with the OPP, and that some of the information the committee could be looking for might not be available due to privacy concerns or due to the fact that the police simply weren’t collecting the needed data.

However, it took the committee two hours to determine just what information it should ask for. The lengthy discussion also touched on some of the issues relating to how OPP calls for service could be broken down in terms of rural versus urban. The committee’s membership generally agreed that the committee should obtain as much information as they can as it relates to the provision of police service, which represents one of the largest segments of the municipality’s overall budget. “If we can obtain that information, there might be something that can be done with it. There might be nothing that can be done with it. But the bottom line is, you have the information in front of you, to look at it and see what it is. I think that’s what’s lacking here. It’s just not available to us to have a look and make a suggestion or recommendation out of it,” said Leslie Howell, one of the committee members representing the rural area of the municipality.

“I think that everybody in the community should be able to see that this committee and the staff… have done everything possible to get the maximum amount of information about that. What we do with that information is fine, but we should have it clear to everybody that we requested that information and have done the maximum to get it,” added Hubert Hogle, an urban rep on the committee. On an unrelated matter, the committee determined that it would recommend any change to the town tax policy should be phased in over a three-year period, starting this year. Scandlan will present his draft report of the work done to date by the committee to Greater Napanee council at its March 8 regular meeting. That will be followed by a public meeting at the Strathcona Paper Centre at 7 p.m. on March 29. The fifth and final taxation committee meeting will be held the following day. The final report to council will be submitted on April 12.

S part of its host agreement, TransCanada has pledged to build a home in Greater Napanee for a local family who is struggling through financial difficulties. The project will be a community endeavor and will including partnerships with Habitat for Humanity, Matrix Construction, the Quinte-St. Lawrence Building and Structure Trades Council, and local volunteers. TransCanada is also seeking support from the Town of Greater Napanee. Peter Webster, TransCanada’s Director of Eastern Canada Power Development, based out of the Napanee office, met with Greater Napanee council last week at a regular council meeting. He said based on community feedback, TransCanada has prioritized housing as a focus point to help improve the community. Webster thanked council for conducting a needs study

for TransCanada to direct its community funding toward. TransCanada was able to use last year’s Vital Signs survey to identify key areas of need in the municipality. “TransCanada believes very firmly in supporting the communities where we operate,” Webster said. “As the Vital Signs study indicated, housing is a priority area for this community. And with your help, and the help of our general contractor Matrix Construction, and with Quinte-St. Lawrence Building and Structure Trades Council, this summer we would like to build an affordable home for a Napanee family.” Webster said TransCanada and Matrix has promised to pay for all the materials. A number of trades unions that make up the Quinte-St. Lawrence Building Trades Council will provide volunteer labour and community volunteers. Habitat for Humanity will fully manage the project. “To make this project go, I would respectfully ask that the Town of Greater Napa-

nee join us in this building partnership, specifically by making a surplus lot available at no cost to this project,” Webster asked. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn asked staff to bring a report to council for its next council meeting detailing all the available lots owned by the municipality within Greater Napanee. The next regular council meeting is scheduled for March 8. In other TransCanada news, Webster reported that construction of the Napanee Generating Station is on track. In June and July, staff were able to move into site offices. In the fall, traffic lights were installed at a temporary entrance, while excavating and installation of equipment and building foundations continued. Major equipment began to be received in the fall and Webster reported that 80 per cent of heavy equipment pieces have been delivered to the site now, including combustion turbine generators and a heat recovery steam generator.

Classical music trio to perform at L&A museum

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Lennox and Addington County’s Live at the Museum returns Feb. 25 for its for its first show of 2016, featuring three renowned Canadian classical musicians. Known as the Kingston Classic Trio, the group is made up of William Egnatoff on flute, Chris Alfano on clarinet and saxophone and Katie Legere on bassoon. They’ll be playing classical and baroque favourites from Vivaldi and Haydn as well as selections from operas such as Carmen and The Barber of Seville. “We’re always striving to bring a wide variety of genres of music to town and this is a great opportunity to hear some local musicians that a lot of people might not be familiar with,” Stephen Paul, director, community and development services said of the trio. “They’ve played in orchestras across the country.” Each of the performers

brings with them a vast resume of musical expertise and knowledge. Egnatoff was principal flutist with the Saskatoon Orchestra where he directed its Summer Orchestra Workshop for four years and served one season as acting musical director. An expert with the woodwind instruments, he taught flute privately at the University of Saskatchewan. He also sings in three choirs, plays in several chamber groups and does flute repair and research on the physics of sound production. Alfano is also a frequent player in chamber groups as well as orchestral and jazz music groups across Kingston. He’s no stranger to performing at venues both big and small. Among his many performances, he has appeared with the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa. In the past he has worked with David Braid, Peter Appleyard, Don Thompson and many other noted Canadian musicians. He is founder and leader of

member of the Kingston Symphony, she has played bassoon and contrabassoon as part of the Toronto Symphony, National Arts Centre Orchestra, Violins Du Roy and the Ohio Light Opera Company. Paul says not only are the musicians highly regarded at the national level, but the museum venue they’ll be playing at is also ideal for live, unplugged music. “It’s like sitting in your living room when you’re listening to the music,” Paul said of L&A County Museum and Archives room they’ll be playing at. “It’s just a great venue for that kind of music.” Tickets for the show, which gets underway at 7 Submitted photo p.m., are $3 and are availThe Kingston Classic Trio, made up of (from left) William Egnatoff, Katie able at the door.

EDITORIAL

Tax committee on right track HEN Greater Napanee’s taxation policy committee began its work a few months ago, it was obvious that the group had its work cut out for it to try to hammer out a recommendation (or recommendations) for a fair tax policy for the municipality. They’d have to delve into those touchy subjects that inflamed opinion years ago (and occasionally still does today). It would have to delve into intricate detail about what the municipality spends its money on, and how the cost of providing those services should be borne by ratepayers. And, ultimately, it would have to come up with something that satisfies council as well as ratepayers, both urban and rural. A tall order, to be sure. However, if it’s successful, they’ll have put what has been a longstanding sore point between urban and rural residents, as well as their representatives on council, finally to bed. Based on what we’ve seen at the committee meetings, they just might pull it off, too. We expressed some skepticism in this space early on in reference to any effort to ‘bridge the urban-rural divide.’ We thought that, as they are naturally given to do, people would judge the most fair and just taxation policy as the one where they happen to pay the least amount in taxes. Although there are clearly competing perspectives among members of the committee, the desire to come up with a something that everybody can live with (or as members joked at their most recent meeting, something that everybody is equally dissatisfied with) appears to be a stronger motivation. We hope that the end result of the committee’s discussions will be a robust report to council, something the elected representatives can use to craft a policy moving forward. We’ll get something of a sneak peak when the committee’s chair presents his draft report to council next month. The committee will still have some deliberating to do, not to mention one more public meeting to put the work they’ve done to residents for the questions and comments. At this point, however, the committee appears to be on the right track. We’re hopeful that the hard work and long meetings will pay off.

Newburgh’s 23rd annual Canal Bash was held on Saturday — both inside and outside. The extreme frigid temperatures didn’t keep Mackenzie Harrison (above left) and Elle Chapman off the canal as they braved the weather to play some shoot around hockey. Meanwhile, the tyke hockey tournament (below) was forced to move inside due to the cold weather, shifting to floor hockey inside the nearby Community Hall.

Acclaimed author Iain Reid to visit library HIS year we at the library started a new program called ‘Memoir Mondays’. One Monday evening a month we invite an author who has penned a memoir to share their experience in writing the book and the inspiration behind it. On Feb 22, we will welcome Iain Reid to the Amherstview Branch. Reid has written two memoirs: One Bird’s Choice: A Year in the Life of an Overeducated, Underemployed TwentySomething Who Moves Back Home and The Truth About Luck: What I Learned on My Road Trip with Grandma. These comic memoirs have garnered Reid significant critical attention including the CBC Bookie Award for Best Nonfiction Book and the prestigious RBC Taylor Prize Emerging Writer Award. One Bird’s Choice fol-

lows the author, then an overeducated, underemployed twenty-something, living in the big city but barely making ends meet. When he lands a job at a radio station within commuting distance of his childhood home, he decides to take it. But the work is only part time, so he is forced to Coles’ move back in with his eccentric but loveable parents on their hobby farm. What starts out as a temporary arrangement turns into a year-long extended stay filled with quirky occurrences and self-reflection. Iain Reid’s latest memoir is The Truth about Luck, which is also a sweet, comedic look at family ties. In this book he accompanies his grandmother on a five-

day vacation — which turns out to be a ‘staycation’ at his basement apartment in Kingston. While Reid is at the beginning of his adult life, his 92-year-old grandmother is nearing the end of hers. Between escorting his grandma to local attractions and restaurants, the two Notes exchange memories and she begins to reveal details of her life. It is also worth noting that the author has a forthcoming book as well, his debut novel. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is described as a deeply suspenseful and irresistibly unnerving novel about a man and his girlfriend on their way to a secluded farm. When the two take an unexpected detour, she is left stranded

Catherine Coles

in a deserted high school, wondering if there is any escape at all. This “smart and edgy literary thriller” isn’t due out until June but you can join the waitlist at the library now. I can’t wait to read this book — it sounds like it is bound to be one of 2016’s biggest hits in Can-Lit. The Truth about Luck and One Bird’s Choice can be reserved in both print and e-book formats from your branch of the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries or online at www.countylibrary.ca. The Memoir Monday event with Iain Reid will be held Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Amherstview branch library. It is free and everyone is welcome to attend. We hope to see you there!

Barriers to agricultural growth? Ontario farmers have taken the Premier’s Agri-Food Growth Challenge to heart. We’re embracing the drive to double our sector’s annual growth rate and create 120,000 jobs by 2020. Farmers and Ontario Federation of Agriculture members are working hard every day to grow our farm businesses, create new market opportunities and identify areas that impede or restrict our growth as an industry. Part of OFA’s role is to identify opportunities and restrictions that exist in our industry. Too often, barriers are overlooked. Barriers such as red tape, uninformed decisions and funding cuts prevent Ontario farms from seizing growth opportunities. That’s why OFA regularly consults with our grassroots member representatives through our resolution process and our Policy Advisory Council to identify and discuss these issues. Sometimes barriers to growth are driven by municipalities, and this is one of the main topics at OFA’s recent PAC meeting. This issue was first brought to OFA through a resolution at our annual general meeting and

discussed further at a recent PAC meeting for further grassroots member input. Several barriers were identified by the 104-member PAC that

developing a recommended ‘best practices’ checklist for municipalities to encourage local agricultural support. Many policies impacting the agrifood sector are established by provincial and federal governments. But there are still plenty of decisions being made at municipal levels that can support agriculture. Land use policies, taxation and development charges, financial support and community engagement are all opportunities for municipalities to support agricultural economic development in their communities. Farmers may be a minority in Ontario’s rural communities, but our impact is big and agriculture is poised for growth. Municipalities are essential for agricultural economic development. We need municipalities to lend their support to Ontario agriculture and agri-food businesses, so we can all grow, prosper and meet the Premier’s challenge.

impede agricultural growth in Ontario’s municipalities. Three of these areas identified were planning, economic development and community engagement. The number one challenge identified by OFA members is the lack of understanding of farm practices and the realities of living near farming neighbours. There is a role for farmers and municipalities to make a difference on this issue. We, as farmers have a role to advocate and share the good news story of what modern farming is today. Municipal leaders have a responsibility to learn and understand what the agricultural Peggy Brekveld is the vice-presiindustry is all about — an industry that drives our rural economy and dent of the Ontario Federation of Agrifeeds our province.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 16, 1966

n A pair of local reporters were told they weren’t allowed to listen in while the Napanee Public School Board discussed the board’s budget for that year. School board chairperson J.E. Madden told the reporters that the budget portion of the meeting would be confidential and not open to the press. Earlier on, reporters were told to leave the meeting when Paul Anderson, inspector for public schools for the area, was to address the board on budgetary matters. n Drilling crews were busy near the foot of the falls on the Napanee River near Gibbards, as they investigated possibly putting a new dam on the river at that spot. If constructed, the dam would be built almost on the exact spot of an old footbridge that spanned the river. The Napanee and District Rod and Gun Club had proposed the new dam. The drilling crews were trying to determine the depth of the bedrock underneath the river.

30 Years Ago February 12, 1986

n The County of Lennox of Addington was offering to buy a nearly 10-acre parcel of property on the north side of Bridge Street, across from the Lenadco Home for the Aged, from the L&A County General Hospital. The county was offering $100,000 to purchase the property from the hospital. By purchasing the property, the county would be assured of having available land to construct a building for seniors as per the feeling of the long-term committee on care for the elderly. L&A County General Hospital had already determined that it would sell the property as it was surplus to its needs. It still had to determine to whom it would sell the land. n It was announced that funding would be available through the federal government to support a new feasibility study into potential development of the Deseronto waterfront. Deseronto council was advised of that news from the Ministry of Recreation and Culture at its recent regular meeting. Council was advised to go ahead and obtain terms of reference, tender consultants and apply for the money. The federal government would provide half the cost of the study, which was expected to be $15,000 and $20,000. Deseronto Mayor Denny Tompkins indicated that the study should be able to proceed by the end of March.

The common procedure is for the playing of music, either live or recorded, signaling the participants to march around the parameter of the array of seats. When the leader stops the music, 15 children or adults, for instance, need to find a landing place on 14 chairs. This invariably precipitates mad scrambles and amusing (or embarrassing) scenarios, as person number one may alight a split second ahead of person number two — with the result that there is a ‘lap landing’. The worst situation features two rambunctious seekers juggling for position (a polite version of earning two minutes in the penalty box for elbowing).

chair is removed from the circle. As the total number of available landing pads decreases, the tension mounts and the intensity of competition increases. The last person to find a spot to sit on is the eventual winner, making the search for a final stopping spot even more nerve-wracking. Not a few heels are trampled— and the aforementioned ‘piling on’ a more likely development. Needless to say, the climactic moment features two individuals vying for a single roost, waiting with bated breath to see if they will be on the ‘right’ side of the remaining hearth to pounce on when the final musical bar is sounded. This writer recalls musical chairs being a favourite during rainy day recesses at public school — particularly when the teacher was a talented pianist. The ‘chairs’ in that venue were obviously the school desks, which presented an additional challenge. Not only must the landing be of the ‘sideslip’ variety, but the space between the actual seat and the surface used for writing, etc., was rather limited. Even for ‘slim Jims’, bruised hips often resulted from making a quick dive into that narrow opening. But the sacrificing of one’s body was worth the honour earned!

HELD BACK!

— whether in a school, a church hall, or a large room in a house. As the name indicates, chairs are the central focus. Normally they are placed in an elongated circle, with the seats facing out. There must always be one more player

NOTHING

It only stands to reason, because of the skills required to participate in outdoor games — like hockey, baseball, soccer, tennis, and football — that far more people enjoy indoor recreation, utilizing table/board games instead. According to R.C. Bell’s Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations, there are at least 91 of them which have been enjoyed down through the centuries — to say nothing of modern variations, most of which the average Canadian has never seen or heard of. Scrabble, Monopoly, Chutes and Ladders, Chess or checkers, Yahtzee, Racko, and Trouble are some most likely to be found in the average home. But new ones added to the list of popular board games include Star Wars, Connect and Catan. Of course there are more active pursuits, like Blind Man’s Bluff, Charades, and Pin the Tail on the Donkey, where participants move about as opposed to parking themselves in one spot. One of the most animated of this variety is Musical Chairs. It amounts to a more dignified version of ‘Ring Around a Rosie’, wherein there is less distance to be reached as the derriere stops at its destination. Its origin is unknown, but even the eldest of living men a women cannot recall when it was not around. It is plainly an international pastime. In the Netherlands they call it ‘The Chair Dance’; in Poland it is ‘Hot Chairs’; in Japan it is known as ‘The Chair Taking Game’; and in some cultures they tag it, ‘Trip to Jerusalem’. While there may be adaptations, it is basically played in the same manner

Organizing a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room This recent long weekend, I took advantage of my three kids being home from school and did a spring cleaning of their bedrooms and playroom. Surprisingly, my two boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rooms were relatively organized. My daughter on the other hand, I may see her on that hoarding show in 20 years. She loves to save every picture she drew, or gifts her friends made for her. She canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let go of anything. Their playroom just needed a cleaning of toys they no longer play with, especially the collection of Happy Meal toys that have lost their appeal. But they were alongside me, and eagerly helped in the process.

A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room needs to be one of the most adaptable spaces in the house. It is a playroom that must accommodate toys of all kinds. At a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice, the room becomes an amateur artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio, where paints, modeling clay, crayons, and general art supplies are used to express creativity galore. In the next instant itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clubhouse where your children meet and interact with friends. And of course, the room has to meet the same needs any other bedroom does, with a place to rest, somewhere to dress, and perhaps a modest reading or studying area. When a single space has

to fill all these rolls, efficient storage and organization become more important than ever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and more of a challenge. But organizing the space shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean making it look like an adultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room, or creating a bland, generic bedroom. You can create a sense of fun and organize the space so that the dĂŠcor reflects your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality. The process of organizing a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room begins with an assessment of what his or her current needs really are. Does your son or daughter have the appropriate space to do homework, play games, and get dressed? What types of clutter are a problem? Creating order in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room should be done area by area, incorporating flexible solutions that help your child stay organized even as he or she uses the room for all its many purposes. There are four rules to keeping a tidy kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room: Use Timeless Organizers: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to incorporate painted or natural wood chests and shelves and wicker baskets that can be reused than to focus on plastic cartoon-character trunks and bins that will have to be discarded or given away as your child outgrows them. Focus on Cleanliness: Surfaces that are easy to clean and easy to clean around will make your life easier. Suit the User: Choose organization aids that are age-and size appropriate, and place storage where little ones can reach. If you make tidying up their rooms easy, children are more likely

Merola Tahamtan

Design Time to do it themselves. Make Storage Fun: When a jumble of toys becomes a collection, and storage methods become a game, kids will help crush clutter without knowing its work. For most kids, the bed isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a place to sleep. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a play area where they can rough-house with friends, a make-believe fort, a comfortable place to hang out and much more. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the vicinity around a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed is often so clogged with toys, books, and other clutter. From baseball caps hung off bedposts to science experiments left on the nightstand, the challenges to keeping this area under control are numerous and diverse. For the purposes of organization, this area includes the bed, underbed storage, hooks and shelves around the bed and the nightstand. The storage in this area should make anything your child needs or uses in and around the bed as handy as possible.

Benches can provide handy seating, but again, limit the surface are to avoid clutter. Slotted bench seats, or other styles with openings in the surface, are good choices because they ensure that small items canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be left on the bench. You can spruce up and personalize boxes, storage trunks, chests, wall-mounted cabinets and other self-contained storage units with decorative treatments that serve to identify whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being stored. Use funky stencils from an art supply store to label containers. Or help young children who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learned to read, clip photos of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inside to the front of the container or attach small pieces of art from magazines in simple paper frames to show container contents and let children know what goes where. Clothes clutter is never a simple thing to design out a home, and this is nowhere more true than in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room. Children tend to leave clothes wherever the clothes come off, and they often have trouble with the idea of a hamper, much less keeping their closet organized. The way to establish order among your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes and to train your child to maintain organization in the closet and dresser is to make clothes placement as obvious and intuitive as possible. Both the closet and the dresser can be used exclusively for clothes or adapted for other types of storage, and both should change over time as your child grows. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand that as children age, the differences between boys and girls become more pronounced. The teen girl is likely to want a closet and dresser that reflects her tastes as well as her clothing storage needs. The teen boy is more likely to need efficient functionality to prevent the entire bedroom from becom-

ing a cloths-strewn mess. The first rule of setting up a closet in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room is that the mix of storagehanging, flat shelf, bins, and drawers- will have to change fairly regularly as your child grows. Whatever configuration you use, it should be user-friendly if you hope to keep the closet organized. For instance, placing clothes on a shelf out of the reach of a small child makes independent dressing nearly impossible and almost ensures that garments will wind up scattered on the closet floor. Fortunately, you can pick from many options in setting up a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closet. You can make the most of an existing closet by incorporating organizers that suit your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. Unless your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room is sizable, a single area will serve as a place for doing homework, playing with toys and boards games, launching into art projects, and enjoying hobbies. Of course, if you have the space, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideal to create different areas for working on the computer, creating art, and playing games with friends. But whether this area is spread over several locations or is centralized in one place, the organizational strategies are the same and suggest the furniture you should choose. Let your child engage in the organization of the room, the more they feel a part of it, the more likely they are to continue the tidiness of their room. Let them help you pick out their furniture and storage solutions with your guidance.

Southview choir ‘shares its voice’ at JMP Centre BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A new grant provided by the Retired Teachers of Ontario has allowed local children to share their love of music with Napanee seniors homes. The project is called Music Builds Community and students in Grades 3 to 8 from Southview Public School had the opportunity to participate in a school choir, with the goal of performing at local senior’s homes. Last Thursday, the Southview choir performed at The Village Green in the morning and at The Parrott Centre in the afternoon. “It’s nice signing for other people. I like seeing seniors enjoying our singing,” said Nicole Mason, a Grade 6 student at SPS and a member of the choir. Students began rehearsing in November 2015, before school, starting at 8 a.m. in preparation for last Thursday’s show. Kathryn McConnell, music teacher at SPS, said some of the local retired teachers wanted to do something to support Southview’s music program. They applied for a grant in order to provide the Music Builds

Community program, which was successfully awarded to the school in the fall. “We wanted to build the community between the children and the seniors. In the process, the Retired Teachers grant has provided us with some extra instruments. We’ve got a couple of ukuleles, which we used (in the performance), in addition to the ones we already had. We got some drums and some small hand percussion instruments, we’re going to bring more next time for the seniors to play,” McConnell said. The grant also provided funds to cover a bus for the day, choir T-shirts, and other supplies the music program needed. “It’s been pretty generous. We have got quite a few more instruments than what we had and I’ve got money to order some music, which is what my next step is,” said McConnell. Thursday’s performance wasn’t just therapeutic for the seniors but also for the students performing. Students in the choir explained how music helps them through tough times and to express themselves when they’re at their best. “It’s relaxing to your body. It helps you get

I have 12 feeders and every one of them is well populated on this cold winter morning. My supply of quality seed is depleting quickly but it is a good thing that I stocked up with a bulk purchase of the stuff early in the season. This time of year, the greatest activity in our gardens occurs around the bird feeder. More accurately, it is the only action out there! It is the perfect time of year to make a plan to attract insectivores when they â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fly pastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; come April. The more tree swallows and bluebirds that I can attract to my property the better for the mosquito population and many of the flying insects

that enjoy munching on my fruit trees. These birds have an appetite for flying insects that borders on legendary.

Mark Cullen The Green File This past summer, I had the pleasure of hosting Susan Poizner to my 10 acre garden. We have a lot in common, including our mutual interest in orchard fruits and birding. As we strolled through my small orchard of apples she told me the story of Joe Krall, a fascinating person. It seems that Joe developed a fascination with insectivore birds several years ago. In 1992 he creat-

ed a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nest box trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which grew to over 500 birdhouses near Guelph Lake in Wellington County, Ontario. His goal was to attract nesting blue birds and tree swallows (members of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family). He had no problem building the bird boxes: with his technical skills as a tool and dye maker he created boxes that would easily stand for a lifetime, complete with metal roofs and a side hatch for easy cleaning. The hard part was cataloguing all of the activity in the nesting boxes over 23 years. Whenever he could, he would hike the trail with his notebook in hand and record what he found. The results? n over 32,000 birds were born in his 500 boxes; these included over 2,000 Eastern Blue Birds and close to 30,000 Tree Swallows n many of the houses attracted House Wrens and Black Capped Chickadees (hey, they need habitat too!) He would often open the side of a nesting box to inspect the contents, even during the nesting period of April through July. It is important that you do not disturb or touch young hatchlings but it is ok to have a peek, he explains. Why would you want to attract insectivore birds to your yard? According to Susan Poizner (author of The Backyard Orchardist www.orchardpeople.com), there are lots of reasons: n they eat huge numbers of flying insects

Mark Cullen

Bird boxes can be a great for your property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the birds will love them, too. n many organic orchardists mount nesting boxes to help protect their fruiting trees from damaging insects. n insectivore birds are an important part of the web of biodiversity in the natural world n many are declining in population: they need all of the help that they can get. Observing bird-activity around nesting boxes is fascinating. Here are some facts: n the female usually lays between three and six eggs at one time. n they use grasses, feathers, plant stems, pine needles and other natural materials build their nests n they arrive in mid to late April every spring, mate and

build their nests in the first few weeks and lay their eggs in May/June or early July. Occasionally they will hatch a second brood. It is important to clean out your nesting boxes twice a year: after the first brood has â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fledgedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (pushed out of the nest) and after the second brood, which can involve a different bird species. The best location for insectivore nesting boxes is five to six feet above ground, out of prevailing winds and in an open meadow or grassed area. We see a lot of these birds on golf courses with nesting boxes for this reason. While Joe is very passionate about his bird-box

project he is moving away from the Guelph area and trees have grown up in the meadows where the boxes once stood in the open. He has pulled most of them up and is moving a few of them to his new home. As you gawk at the population of feeding birds on your bird feeders this winter, plan to attract some migratory birds to your yard this spring.

Raiders riding two-game win streak into postseason Jets/Raiders semifinals begin tonight

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

hite-out conditions delayed the start of the Napanee Raiders and Amherstview Jets EBJCHL’s semifinal series, which was supposed to get underway Tuesday night at the Strathcona Paper Centre. As a result the series will now get started this evening, with the Jets hosting the Raiders for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop at the W.J. Henderson Arena. Game 2 will go Saturday in Napanee at the SPC, Game 3 Sunday in Amherstview and Game 4 back in Napanee on Tuesday. All games are 7:30 p.m. puck drops. Should the series go to Game 5, that would be played Feb. 28 in Amherstview with Game 6 set for March 1 in Napanee, both at

7:30 p.m. The date for a decisive Game 7 is yet to be announced, but it would be in Napanee. The Raiders closed out their regular season on Thursday night in Picton, riding a two goal effort from Aidan McFarland to finish on a winning note, defeating the Pirates 4-3. Napanee entered the final period down a goal before McFarland converted on a power-play just three minutes into the frame for his second on the night. Riley Steeves, who assisted on McFarland’s goal, would bury the eventual game winner while the team was short-handed at the 14:28 mark. McFarland had opened the game’s scoring at the 7:35 mark of the first, again coming on the power-play. Picton’s Tye Eaton responded three minutes later to knot the score at 1-1. That’s where the scored stayed until Napanee’s Cullen Hinds gave his team the lead at the 5:22 mark of the second. Former Raider Mitchell Merry and Mitch Burke each potted a goal in

the final five minutes of the second to give Picton a brief lead. Paul Giusti got the win, stopping 28 shots for his second win on the year and a nice follow up to his shutout performance in his previous game. He outduelled Charles Grimard, who made 29 saves. McFarland’s two powerplay goals were the only two Napanee managed to score on nine opportunities. Their special teams however kept the Picton scoreless on six power-plays while notching a critical short-handed tally. With the win the Raiders wrapped up the season with a 24-12-4 record, giving them their most wins since they went 29-7-4 in 2009-10. The game was essentially meaningless to the Raiders, as they had already sewed up the second seed. Napanee heads into the playoffs on a modest two game win streak and winners of three of their last four. The Jets also closed out their season riding back-toback victories to finish at 22-14-4.

Pirates run out of luck Blizzard delays KASSAA quarters Picton misses playoffs for first time in seven years

Islanders to face Panthers in semifinals

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

full 10 points out of a playoff spot at the Christmas break, the Picton Pirates came within 20 seconds of pulling off a miraculous comeback and stealing an Empire B League playoff berth from the Gananoque Islanders. Picton entered Sunday’s regular season finale against the Amherstview Jets with a simple task: earn two points or pack up and go home for the offseason. They came painfully close to the former, clinging to a 3-2 lead late into the third. Picton was just about home free when Amherstview's Dawson Chard tied

the game at the 19:40 mark, during an extra attacker rush. There would be no magical rally in overtime as Amherstview's Adam Kim put the final nail into the Pirates’ coffin with a goal just 40 seconds into extra time.

Old man winter threw a wrench into the KASSAA playoff plans, forcing all of Tuesday’s quarter-final games to be postponed. All four of NDSS Golden Hawks playoff qualifying teams had their games pushed back either a day or two. The Golden Hawks junior girls volleyball team was re-scheduled to take on the Regi Panthers on the road yesterday afternoon. Results weren’t known at press time. Also scheduled yesterday was the NDSS senior boys basketball team showdown with the Frontenac Falcons. Results weren’t known at press time.

PIRATES | One victory short CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 Picton had hope heading into the season finale thanks to their wild 10-7 victory over the Islanders on Friday. That win put the Pirates just two points behind the Islanders for the final spot. By virtue of their better head-to-head record, the Pirates would have been awarded the final playoff berth had the two teams wound up tied. The fact that Picton was able to make the last week of the season interesting is an accomplishment in itself given that the club was 5-191 on Dec. 16, trailing the Islanders 21-11 in the standings. They went 7-6 down the stretch to finish with 25 points, just shy of the 11-245 Islanders who finished up with 27. The Islanders managed to hold onto their playoff spot despite a stretch that saw them go 0-12-1, turning a comfortable lead into a white knuckle ride as they limped towards the finish line.

This marks the first time since the 2007-08 season that the Pirates have failed to earn a spot in the EBJCHL playoffs. As for the Islanders, who just wrapped up their first regular season in the league after coming over from the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League, their prize for squeaking into the playoffs is a match with the top ranked Port Hope Panthers, who finished with 42 more points than the Islanders. That series was scheduled to get underway Tuesday but was postponed due to weather. Game 1 is now set for Saturday evening in Port Hope, starting at 7:30 p.m. The winner of that series will face the winner of the Napanee Raiders/Amherstview Jets series in the league finals. Whichever team comes out on top in that series would represent the league in the Schmalz Cup playoffs, which features the top Junior C teams in Ontario.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK PAUL GIUSTI

Paul Giusti is a goalie with the Napanee Raiders. After a rocky debut with the club the rookie goalie rebounded to post back-to-back solid outings, both resulting in victories. His latest came Thursday night when he made 31 saves in a 4-3 road victory over the Picton Pirates. If you know someone who should be our Athlete of the Week, call the Beaver’s newsroom at 354-6641.

It’s win or go home for the Napanee K&C Bobcat Services Bantam BB Stars in their OMHA playdown series with the Huntsville Otters. After winning the opener on home ice on Saturday, the Stars dropped the next two and now find themselves on the brink of elimination heading into Game 4 this Saturday in Huntsville. The Stars got off on the right foot last Saturday with a 3-0 shutout of the Otters. Ryan Kirkpatrick scored for Napanee to give them a one-goal cushion in the first period, and as it turned out, it would be all they would need.

Mason Barker added to the lead in the third period, with an assist from Corbin Gibson. Kennelly would pot one more, converting on an assist from Liam Wilkinson. Bailey Maracle was perfect for the shutout in net. Things didn’t go so well on Sunday, however, as the Stars came up just short in a 2-1 heartbreaker. Despite a stellar effort by netminder Murray Craig, Napanee just couldn’t muster enough offence to top the Otters. Gibson scored Napanee’s lone goal, with Keegan Makpah earning an assist on the play. On Monday in Huntsville, depleted by injuries, the Stars were never able to hit their stride

They earned the entry to the Regionals after winning the zone play downs in December. Their coach Mark Dunham and both teams thank the leagues for allowing them to get further experience and all the members who donated funds to help with the costs of the weekend. The Thursday evening Men’s League has finished their second draw with three teams tying for the winners award by winning six out of their nine games and none of the three beat the other two to jump ahead. Congratulations go out

to Daryl Latimer, Jim Stapley, Joey Botting, Ron Menchetti and Ian Munro, Al Thompson, Neil Packman, Harold Lewis and Brian Chadwick, Chris Goody, Caleb Posterski and Dave Salvisburg. This Saturday the NDCC will be hosting some great curling at its annual Highland Lassie Bonspiel. Following that on Feb. 24 will be the Town & Country Bonspiel. The volunteer ‘thank you board’ in the foyer is filling in nicely and NDCC's Board of Directors thank all who have done a duty or two or three so take a minute and see what is still to come and contact the convenor to let them know any willingness to assist as a couple of duties in a curling season by each member lessens the load of the few.

A year spent coping and adjusting and trying to get things right. We hope you’re looking down on us and pleased at what you see, Because now you may realize how important you were to your family.

PETERS - In loving memory of our devoted Dad and cherished “Pa”, Fred, called to Heaven February 12, 1996. After 20 years we still miss - your smiling face, helping hands, twinkling eyes, moustache, voice, chuckle, touch, acts of kindness, words of encouragement, hugs and kisses, sitting by the wood stove, beer behind the furnace, your carpentry skills and workshop “deals”, going to auctions together, watching you channel surf, debating who was more famous (Bing Crosby or The Beatles), your recollection of “reading an article”, going for drives, sharing a cup of tea, singing, friendship, time spent with us, devotion to family, caring ways, unconditional love. “Till we meet again.” Forever in our hearts - Cheryl, Dale, Scott (Patti), Laura (Matt), Ryan and Tiffany.

Deeply loved and missed by Barb, Lin, Terri, Bill, Sharon, our families and friends.

McTAGGART - In loving memory of our sister, Debbie, who passed away February 22, 2010. We stood beside your bedside Our hearts were sad and sore, We tended you with loving care Until we could do no more. Now while midnight stars are shining Upon your silent grave, Beneath it sleeps the one we love And the one we could not save. Now Father up in Heaven Don’t leave her all alone, Just love her up in Heaven As we loved her here at home. Always in our hearts. Love, Esther and David. PARKS - (Howie), who passed away February 23, 2012. I’m traveling down a lonely road With no one by my side, I know yo’ure in Heaven, There you will abide. Someday Jesus will call And you will be there waiting for me Forever loved and missed, your heartbroken Mom (Vivian).

Economic report supports agriculture and rural Ontario growth

By Don McCabe, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture January 29, 2016 Two groups pushing for economic growth in Ontario right now are the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC). OFA shares a similar mandate with the OCC – we both work on behalf of businesses in the province. OFA focuses our advocacy on farm businesses. It is a strong lever to OFA’s forward advocacy actions to have OCC’s work helping to support growth for Ontario’s agri-food sector in various ways. On January 26, a report authored by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Mowat Centre, and Leger highlighting several issues OFA is pushing for to grow our industry, farm businesses and the greater Ontario economy was released. The report, Emerging Stronger 2016, is the OCC’s assessment of Ontario’s economic strengths and weaknesses since 2012. It’s encouraging to see the OCC support issues like curbing rising electricity costs, extending broadband across the province, the development of a Cap and Trade system and promoting Ontario’s agri-food sector at home and abroad. OFA supports the Emerging Stronger 2016 report recommendations for a stronger Ontario, identifying many areas that support Ontario farmers and OFA’s current advocacy work. The five-year analysis report outlines five priority areas for economic strength in Ontario. 1. Fostering a culture of innovation and smart risk-taking in order to become a productivity leader 2. Building a 21st century workforce 3. Restoring fiscal balance by improving the way government works 4. Taking advantage of new opportunities in the global economy

5. Identifying, championing, and strategically investing in our competitive advantages in the global economy Prime Minister Trudeau recently stated in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum that Canada is full of resources and resourceful people. Ontario farms and rural business communities exemplify and carry a long history illustrating resourceful people properly managing resources. To leverage our resourceful talents, and to grow our economy, OCC’s report outlines key priorities for much-needed economic development in Ontario. It demonstrates how organizations like OFA and OCC can realize our province’s potential in collaboration with others and collective action. The OFA asks the federal government and provincial government to combine their resources with Ontario’s number one industry, and announce these intentions in upcoming budgets. A copy of the full Emerging Stronger 2016 report is available at occ.ca. Congratulations to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Mowat Centre and Leger for their hard work to compile this report, and helping to promote Ontario’s farmers, who are the core strength of the current Ontario economy.

Greater Napanee dog park proposal pushes ahead

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

TEPS are being taken toward implementing an off-leash dog park in Greater Napanee after council moved a motion on the issue last Tuesday. Council approved Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas’s notice of motion regarding a dog park in the municipality. Lucas’s motion includes: staff reports, an ad hoc committee, a public meeting, a committee of volunteers, a project budget and a report of available lands. “I know we’re trying to enforce bylaws at the fairgrounds and over by Springside Park and I see it’s more the norm than the exception

in most municipalities. I’ve done some preliminary work and it seems to be of some interest among the community. I’d like to take several months to see what we can do and do it right,” Lucas said at a regular council meeting Tuesday, after moving his notice of motion. “I think there’s a genuine interest and it would be nice if we can get people together and create something,” Lucas said, adding it would alleviate bylaw enforcement. “It would be no excuse for anyone to let their dogs run wherever they want.” Sondra Elliott, owner of Pet Panache in downtown Napanee, submitted a letter to council in support of a

dog park in Greater Napanee. “I encourage council to approve investigating further such a park in Napa-

nee. I have discussed the use of dog parks with my colleague and professional trainer, William Robinson. Will is very knowledgeable

about such parks and is willing to provide his expert advice and guidance regarding,” her letter read. Lucas’s motion was car-

ried unanimously. The motion states that a recommendation and report be presented to council before Sept. 1.

Habitat for Humanity to expand in L&A County

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Habitat for Humanity Greater Kingston and Frontenac (Habitat Kingston) has extended its affordable home building program to include Lennox and Addington County. Dave McGrath, Chief Executive Officer of Habitat Kingston, met with Greater Napanee council last Tuesday to share the news. One of the first items Habitat Kingston has on its list is to rename and brand itself in order to include Lennox and Addington County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to think of a new name,â&#x20AC;? said McGrath, adding the name is still a work in progress. He shared that changing the name to Limestone District or Limestone Region has been discussed. In 2012, Habitat MARCH 6 FULL ROAST BEEF DINNER At the MorningStar Mission at 59 Water St. West in Napanee, 613-354-6355. Dinner is served between 4:30-6 p.m. Adults $14, Chil-

Kingston built a home in Loyalist Township and looks forward to working on more affordable homes throughout Lennox and Addington County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we are fully committed to Lennox and Addington. We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very exciting opportunity. It was first brought to us by members of the community, the Chamber of Commerce, but the challenge for us is that this only works with volunteers. It only works if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Habitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as well as the other communities in our service area,â&#x20AC;? McGrath said. McGrath gave a brief history on Habitat for Humanity in Kingston and Habitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts across Canada. Habitat is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest non-profit homebuilding program, which began in the United States in 1976. In Canada, there is

an affiliate in every province and territory. Many people are familiar with Habitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ReStores, which is an innovation first introduced in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose of the ReStore is actually to help fund the affiliates operations so that money we raise as an affiliate can go directly toward building houses. But in order to carry out the costs of managing the affiliate, the net income from the ReStore is transferred to the affiliate itself,â&#x20AC;? McGrath explained. He said a common misconception regarding Habitat for Humanity is that the program builds and gives away homes free of charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build houses and give them away free to people. People are family partners; we see them more as partners than as clients. They buy their house,â&#x20AC;? McGrath clarified.

He hopes to also establish vital community partners throughout Lennox and Addington County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Prince Edward Lennox and Addington Social Services report talks about partnerships; well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here and we want to be a partner. We want to find partners in businesses in the community; we want to be a partner with the municipality, in building affordable homes,â&#x20AC;? McGrath said. McGrath said with community partnerships, Habitat for Humanity could benefit a number of local families. He explained how the program helps families with financial difficulties to afford a home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families must participate in some way; 500 hours of what we call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sweat equityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to purchase their house. Sweat equity could be volunteering on the build, volunteering at the affiliate, chil-

dren bring home report cards with As and Bs then they get credit for volunteer hours that way as well,â&#x20AC;? McGrath said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we intend to do is keep the mortgage at a 25 year amortization, and keep the payments in terms of housing costs below 30 per cent of the gross income of the family.â&#x20AC;? McGrath said the most rewarding part is to see how each familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children are positively affected, especially when it comes to participating in school and a boost in confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty per cent of the families said it was better for the children,â&#x20AC;? McGrath said. Of those surveyed,

there was a 36 per cent increase in attendance in school, a 53 per cent increase in grades, and a 65 per cent increase in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence. Habitat for Humanity is already working with TransCanada to help build its first affordable home in Greater Napanee this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that I can come back and I hope when I come back I will be able to report to you on a build ongoing here in Lennox and Addington and give you an update on that progress,â&#x20AC;? McGrath said in closing to council. For more information on Habitat Kingston, visit www.habitatkingston.com.

Get a head-start on tax season he dawn of a new calendar year often marks the end of the sometimes hectic holiday season. This time of year marks a return to normalcy for many families, as the kids go back to school and parents return to work. The beginning of January also serves as a great time to start preparing for tax season. While the deadline to file returns may be several months away, getting a head-start allows men and women the chance to organize their tax documents so they aren’t racing against a deadline come April. The following are a handful of ways to start preparing for your returns now.

• Find last year’s return. You will need information from last year’s return in order to file this year, so find last year’s return and print it out if you plan to hire a professional to work on your return. • Gather dependents’ information. While you might know your own Social Security number by heart, if you have dependents, you’re going to need their information as well. New parents or adults who started serving as their elderly parents’ primary caretakers over the last year will need their kids’ and their folks’ social security numbers. If you do not have these numbers upon filing, your return will likely be delayed and you

might even be denied potentially substantial tax credits. • Gather your year-end financial statements. If you spent the last year investing, then you will have to pay taxes on any interest earned. Interest earned on the majority of savings accounts is also taxable, so gather all of your year-end financial statements from your assorted accounts in

one place. Doing so will make filing your return, whether you do it yourself or work with a professional, go more quickly. • Speak with your mortgage lender. Homeowners should receive forms documenting their mortgage interest payments for the last year, as the money paid in interest on your home or homes is tax deductible. If these forms are not received

in a timely manner, speak with your lender. You might even be able to download them from your lender’s secure website. • Make a list of your charitable contributions. Charitable contributions, no matter how small, are tax deductible. While it’s easiest to maintain a list of all charitable donations you make as the year goes on, if you have not done that, then you can make one now. Look for receipts of all contributions, contacting any charities you donated to if you misplaced any receipts. • Book an appointment

with your tax preparation specialist now. As April 15 draws closer, tax preparers’ schedules get busier and busier. The earlier you book your appointment, the more likely you are to get a favorable time for that meeting. In addition, if you have gathered all of the information you need by early February, then booking your appointment early means you can file earlier and receive any return you might be eligible for that much quicker. Tax season might not be right around the corner, but it’s never too early to start preparing your return.

Retirement saving for late bloomers MCC - Today’s young professionals hear about the importance of saving for retirement seemingly from the moment they are hired. In addition to discussions with human resources personnel about employer-sponsored retirement plans, young professionals are learning about the importance of saving for retirement thanks to the abundance of financial-planning advertisements on television, the radio and the Internet. Older workers may not have been so lucky, and many may find themselves trying to play catch up as retirement age draws closer. While it’s important to begin saving for retirement as early as possible, late bloomers whose retirement dates are nearing can still take steps to secure their financial futures. • Pay down debts. Eliminating debt is good for men and women of all ages, but especially so for those nearing retirement. Substantial debt may delay your retirement and can greatly reduce your quality of life during retirement. If you still have substantial debt, eliminate that debt before you start saving

additional money for retirement. Once your debt slate has been wiped clean, you can then increase your retirement contributions. • Eliminate unnecessary expenses. If your retirement savings are low (many financial advisors now advise men and women that they will need at least 60 percent of their pre-retirement income each year they are retired), start cutting back on unnecessary expenses and reallocate that money toward retirement saving. Cutting out luxury items, such as vacations to exotic locales or country club memberships, is one way to save money. But don’t overlook the simpler ways to save, such as canceling your cable subscription or dining at home more often. • Downsize your home. Many empty nesters downsize their homes as retirement nears, and doing so can help you save a substantial amount of money. If the kids no longer live at home or if you simply have more space than you will need after retirement, downsize to a smaller, less expensive home. Monitor the real estate mar-

ket before you decide to downsize so you can be sure to get the best deal on your current home. Downsizing saves on monthly utility bills, property taxes and a host of additional expenses. Downsizing also means less maintenance, which gives you more time to pursue your hobbies upon retiring. • Take on some additional work. While you may have long felt you would slowly wind down in the years immediately preceding retirement, taking on some additional work outside of your current job is a great way to save more for retirement and perhaps even lay the foundation for a post-retirement career. Workers over the age of 50 can be invaluable resources to startups or other businesses looking for executives who have been there, done that. Look for part-time jobs that seek such experience. Even if the initial jobs don’t bowl you over financially, part-time consultant work in retirement can make up for lost retirement savings and may even make your retirement years more fulfilling.
