Greater Napanee

Councillor calls for new tax policy review

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A notice of motion was put forward at a Greater Napanee council meeting asking for a complete review of urban and rural taxation since amalgamation.

At the Feb. 10 regular council meeting, Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas said it was time the municipality complete indepth research on taxation rates in order to answer questions brought forward by taxpayers.

Lucas said there needs to be a clear answer for ratepayers as to

“what they’re getting versus what they’re not getting” when paying municipal property taxes.

Furthermore, he wants clear reasoning as to why urban and rural taxpayers pay different rates and what those rates pay for.

A 15-minute question period from the public will be allotted prior to each Greater Napanee regular council meeting, starting March 10.

Question periods will start at 6:45 p.m. prior to each regular council meeting and will allow for three individuals to speak informally with council members for five minutes each.

Committees of Adjustment meetings will now begin at 6:30 p.m., prior to the question period.

Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester made a few amendments to her notice of motion, one being that the question period will not include staff. “Our staff is available from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. five days a week; it’s council that needs to be educated here, not staff,� she said at a Feb. 10 regular council meeting.

Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser seconded Isbester’s motion to move her notice of motion, which she brought forward at a previous meeting. However, Kaiser wasn’t convinced that an informal conversation was necessary since council already allows for deputations. “One of my questions about the intent of this, is it intended that people would be pre-registered or just show up for a wide-open mic for that 15minute period?� he asked. “I think it’s a reasonable motion but I have tried to be very available and I think that’s what people are more comfortable with, talking with one person to the side rather than doing it like this,�

as an example. I don’t imagine Harry Kellar is too comfortable giving a deputation to council, but I’ve always tried to make people feel comfortable. I hope I have not discouraged deputations to council,� explained Schermerhorn. “I’ll vote for the motion. If people think we’re not open enough, and I’ve heard that ever since the election — I’ve never had nobody say it to me, and I talk to a lot of people — but that’s fine, we’ll go along with the motion and try,� he said.

Comparing deputations against the question period led to a debate regarding transparency and openness to the public. “I really do think we already have the process there through the deputation process,� said Ward 3 councillor Roger Cole. “I guess what bothers me a little bit about this process is that prior to this, this word ‘transparency’ has been popping up. It popped up during the election, that council is not transparent. “I really get upset when I hear (that) because I’ve been around for a number of years and I’ve always felt that I’ve been very open and this council, in my opinion, has been very transparent,� said Cole. “Transparency, or lack thereof, has never ever entered my mind for this,� replied Isbester. “Every one of us has been available and every one of us has been transparent, but I think there are a number of things people don’t want to come to a formal deputation on but (here) it’s brought out for education for both of us, not just them,� Isbester added.

Kaiser said.

Isbester said she intends the question period to be “informal� and not require anyone to be pre-registered, as is done with a deputation. She said it should be educational both for the public and for council. “We get very involved in our boards, committees, and things don’t get discussed together. I would think that a lot of people around this table don’t know what’s going on in each and every committee, either perhaps they don’t serve on them, it’s not of their interest, nobody has ever approached them on it but they’d like to learn about it, so it’s educational on both sides,� explained Isbester.

She also noted that an informal conversation with council is what the public has said it wants so she thinks it is worth trying for a one-year trial period. “This has come out of part of the campaign, when people were saying they would like to be able to do this,� said Isbester.

Mayor Gord Schermerhorn apologized to the public if anyone has ever felt that they could not come forward to speak freely with council through the deputation process. “I hope, as mayor, I have not discouraged people from coming and giving a deputation. If I have, I apologize to the public,� said Schermerhorn.

He used Harry Kellar as an example, who was sitting in the audience of the council chambers after giving a deputation regarding rural and urban tax rates. “I’m sitting here thinking, even you tonight Harry (Kellar), I’m using you

Napanee gala gives KGH MRI drive $102,000 lift

BY SETH DUCHENE EDITOR

Thanks to some Lennox and Addington generosity, the push for a new magnetic resonance imaging unit for Kingston General Hospital is $102,000 closer to its goal.

That was the grand total raised at the L&A County General Hospital Foundation Gala on Thursday night, which took place at the former Westdale Park Public School.

When the dust settled on the event, University Hospitals Kingston Foundation board chairperson Denise Cummings said she was overwhelmed. “In the more than 25 years I’ve worked in hospitals across Ontario, I’ve never encountered such an extraordinary gesture of partnership and collaboration as tonight’s event. You have set an incredible standard for all of us to follow,” she told the 400-or-so attendees at the event.

“All of us have, at some point, been through the difficult experience of anxiously waiting for the results of a diagnostic test. Tonight, you’re helping to ensure that patients from Napanee and Lennox and Addington will have fewer anxious days of waiting. For that very precious gift, I think you,” she continued.

Although the new MRI will be situated at KGH, those living in L&A will benefit from the new diagnostic imaging equipment. Currently, about a quarter of all MRI procedures done on the current MRI at KGH are performed on patients from the L&A County General Hospital catchment area.

According to Karen Pearson, the director of diagnostic imaging at KGH and Hotel Dieu, the one MRI at KGH and private MRI machines in the city are having a hard time keeping up with the region’s caseload.

“We are overwhelmed with volume in that we can manage approximately 500 cases in a month, but we have anywhere from 600 to 800 requests a month come in to us,” she said. “You don’t have to do the math for very long to see what we’re struggling against.”

Pearson said that an additional MRI should mean shorter wait times and better responsiveness.

“We have, at any point in time, about 1,000 patients on our waiting list, waiting to be booked for exams. The need for a secondary magnet is extremely vital,” she said.

L&A County General Hospital Foundation chair Robert Paul said that the event was a “tremendous success,” and indicative of the community’s generous nature. “It is typical of our community, and has gone on for a long, long time. The support has been utterly fantastic to the hospital and to our community in general. This community has donated $10 million to the (LACGH) through the foundation in the last eight or nine years,” he said.

The ‘presenting sponsors’ of the event were the physicians of the L&A County General Hospital. A number of other businesses and organizations threw their support behind the event as sponsors as well.

If the ‘reveal’ of the fundraising total was the highlight of the evening, a

PC leadership hopeful brings campaign to Napanee Christine Elliott says party must restore trust with voters, and repair damaged brand

BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

The Ontario Progressive Conservative Party has some image problems, and leadership contender Christine Elliott says she’s the person to fix them.

Elliott — the Whitby MPP who’s running against Conservative MP Patrick Brown and PC MPP Monte McNaughton for the party’s leadership — stopped in Napanee at the Strathcona Paper Centre on Friday to speak to supporters and community representatives.

Elliott was frank in discussing the party’s failure to connect with enough Ontario voters to topple in the governing Liberals in the last provincial election.

“We’re not well received,” she said. “We’re a toxic brand right now. I think Job No. 1 for the new leader is to go on a rebranding exercise, both for the party and for the person (who wins the leadership).”

She said that too many Ontario voters believe — wrongly — that the PC Party “doesn’t care” about vulnerable segments of the

Seth DuChene-Staff

Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith introduces fellow PC MPP and party leadership candidate Christine Elliott during stop at the Strathcona Paper Centre lounge in Napanee on Friday. society. Elliott argued that, while the party has always stood for fiscal responsibility, it possesses a social conscience as well. Unfortunately for the party, that compassionate message hasn’t been delivered to voters. “People don’t associate that with us any more.

They see us as a mean-

spirited, small-minded group of people that don’t care,” she said.

Elliott said that the PCs’ commitment to fiscal responsibility need not run counter to a commitment to being socially compassionate. In fact, she argued, the two priorities go handin-hand.

“(The current Liberal government is) spending money on things that would be nice to have, but we don’t actually need,” Elliott said. “We need to talk about that. Nothing else can happen without being fiscally responsible.

“Kathleen Wynne (and the governing Liberals),

they like to say they have the monopoly on compassion,” Elliott said. “I don’t understand how saddling our children and grandchildren with $325 billion worth of debt is compassionate. It takes away the opportunities for our young people to have the same quality of life that we have.

We need to go back and make sure that we can ensure their future as well.”

Elliott said the party also needs to be more responsive to its grassroots members, and involve them in the development of policy in advance of the next provincial election.

She said that failure to involve the party’s membership, or even its caucus, in the development of party’s platform in the most recent campaign hamstrung the party and its hopes to topple the Liberals. “We need to change that. We need to start respecting our grassroots members and (allow) everybody to have a say in what we do going forward as a party, particularly as it relates to policy,” she said.

If Elliott was frank in discussing the party’s inability to connect with

voters, she was also frank in assessing where the Liberal government is taking the province. “We’re going down a really dangerous economic path in the province of Ontario,” she said, pointing to the province’s $12.5 billion deficit, and the projected $325 billion debt by 2018.

“We’re not doing anything and not making any good decisions to change that.

We have a government now that’s talking about bringing in an Ontario pension plan that outside observers say is going to cost another 150,000 jobs, just because Kathleen Wynne wants to pick a fight with the federal government. We’re talking about imposing a carbon tax, which we all know has nothing to do with improving our environment, but everything to do with being a tax grab by a government that can’t manage their (finances).”

For the sake of the future of the province, Elliott said a PC win in 2018 is essential.

“As much as we all want our party to win government in the next election, I think Ontario needs us to win the next election,” she said.

Police Beat

OPP lay charges in connection with fatal July collision The Napanee OPP have laid charges relating to a fatal four-vehicle Highway 401 crash that happened this past summer.

Three men who were travelling in three separate vehicles were all charged with careless driving. They are to appear in provincial court in Napanee on March 5.

Two of the drivers who have been charged — a 47year-old from Halton Hills and a 58-year-old from Brampton — were operating tractor trailers at the time of the accident. A third motorist, a 20-year-old from Napanee who was operating a passenger vehicle at the time of the crash, has also been charged.

Marc Gouzopoulos, 62, and his wife, Gloria Gouzopoulos, 59, both of the Township of Southgate, were killed in the crash, which took place at 1:26 a.m. on the eastbound lanes of the 401 just east of Napanee.

B&E Arrests

Two men are facing breakand-enter and other charges following an incident near Tamworth on Saturday night.

An officer with the Napanee detachment was on routine patrol on Cedarstone Road when he noticed a vehicle parked with the lights off at the side of the road.

The officer checked the vehicle, a 2000 grey fourdoor Buick, and questioned the two male occupants. As a result of the investigation, the two men were arrested.

A 28-year-old of no fixed address was charged with break, enter and theft, possession of break-in tools and possession of stolen property.

A 22-year-old from Napanee has been charged with

break, enter and theft under $5,000.

The OPP is appealing to the public for information from anyone who may have witnessed this vehicle or the occupants in the Tamworth area on Saturday night.

Those with information can contact the Napanee OPP detachment at 613-354-3369 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

EDITORIAL

Improving lines of communication At its last regular meeting, Greater Napanee council voted to try something that, hopefully, will make council more accessible to the public.

Will it work? We’ll have to wait and find out — they’re going to give the new initiative a one-year trial run.

They’re going to try an informal 15-minute session before each council meeting to allow members of the public to speak directly to their municipal representatives on a one-on-one basis. According to the motion put forward by deputy-mayor Marg Isbester, each individual has five minutes to bend the ear of their chosen member of council; each council member can talk to up to three different individuals during that 15minute time frame (five minutes per person). Town staffmembers are not required to participate.

To be sure, this new measure to improve communications between council and the public can’t hurt; any measure that would increase contact between our political representatives and the public is a step in the right direction, and for that council should be commended. We certainly can’t imagine how such a plan would backfire.

But while this is a welcome step, we should be careful to temper our expectations as to just what kind of impact the new informal session will have vis-a-vis council’s relationship with the public.

As was mentioned during the council meeting when Isbester’s proposal was brought forward, council is already accessible to the public to the extent that individuals can directly address council in a public forum through deputations. All that’s required is giving council a heads-up that the presentation is going to take place.

Further, council members are a phone call away. Each council member has their contact information — including their home phone numbers — published on the town website.

If you want to talk to your municipal representative directly, all that’s needed is a phone. As well, some council members have a considerable social media presence, and can be contacted in that fashion too.

If council has gained a reputation for being not transparent or for being inaccessible — and that was a complaint we heard, and candidates heard, during the recent municipal election — we suspect the issue is more complex than to be fixed by adding a 15-minute session to talk with the public before each council meeting.

That caveat aside, if this session can bolster the connection between council and taxpayers, even to a small degree, it’s a worthwhile exercise.

Tax review should be independent Rural landowners in Greater Napanee, heads up.

Are you aware that, once again, there has been a notice of motion brought forward by Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas that could eliminate the rural tax differential?

This motion is to be voted on at the next council meeting on March 10.

The present tax differential between rural and urban tax rates was established in 2000.

Currently, there is a differential of 32 per cent. This is based on the different services provided to rural and urban landowners. The present system acknowledges added cost and reduced services

that rural landowners incur. Some councillors have been pressuring to abolish this differential for some time. Letters were sent to prospective council members before the last election pressuring them to support this change if they were elected. These same folks were successful in having an independent review undertaken — then suddenly, the same councillors requested it to be cancelled. Why? Did another municipality have it completed for them, and, if so, was the result that rural landowners were found to be assessed unfairly? Now, these same folks are requesting it be done by ‘in-house’ staff with consultation from affect-

ed parties.

Taxes should be fair.

If they wish to pursue this review it should be completed by a qualified, professional, outside firm with no biases. It will be a significant dollar cost, either way. We are talking a lot of new dollars from all rural landowners, especially a large number of waterfront owners. How much shoreline do we have in the rural area compared to the urban?

We, the rural homeowners, do not have streetlights, sidewalks, snow removal from the sides of roads or natural gas lines.

Letter to the Editor

We have longer response times for first responders.

We usually pay higher insurance rates. We maintain our own safe water source and our own septic systems.

I understand that a large part of the existing difference is due to policing costs. I am told that the urban community has a substantially higher number of occurrences requiring a police presence than the rural community does.

Before March 10, contact your councillor and let your voice be heard. Contact the mayor and deputy mayor.

Where do they stand? Make them give you an answer.

Make them accountable.

Most wards have rural voters. In Greater Napanee there are more rural voters than urban voters. Now is the time to have our voices heard.

We are taxed to death. In my personal opinion this is being pushed for the personal benefit of a few. Or is it just another tax grab on the backs of the rural landowner?

Should we establish a Rural Rate Payers Association to keep rural landowners informed and to be a voice that will be heard by our elected representatives?

It’s so that we can afford to stay in our homes, and protect their value for resale.

Larry Holmes, Greater Napanee

Methadone clinic misconceptions I like to think that today we live in an age where we are less discriminating about mental illness. I feel that we have opened the door to great dialogue, and there is not the same stigma attached to having a mental illness as there was years ago. Unfortunately, I think we still have a very long way to go, and as human beings, we can do so much better for each other.

This was very evident to me recently when a methadone clinic was given the go-ahead to open up in my hometown. When the building permit was issued, it was for a medical clinic, which in my town includes methadone clinics. Upon meeting inspection and passing all of the building requirements, the town council was informed that the proposed use was for a methadone clinic.

This has led some residents to believe that they were purposefully deceived by the clinic owners.

Good community relations can go a long way, and unfortunately, the owners of the clinic did not venture into the community to help people understand what their clinic would be trying to accomplish. This clinic is going to benefit so many

in reference to methamphetamine, a completely different substance than methadone. By referring to a methadone clinic as a meth clinic, this only encourages the spread of misinformation, misconceptions, and attaches stigma to the clients that use this service.

So let us do a bit of research here: methadone and methamphetamine have absolutely nothing in common except that they both have the word ‘meth’ in them.

Methadone is a synthetic opioid (opioids are medications that relive pain) used in substitution for narcotics. It is long lasting, between the ranges of 24 to 36 hours. Methadone has been used in treatment programs since the 1960s.

A proper methadone treatment program helps people who are dependent on narcotics to stabilize their lives, return to work, and decrease the harm that they encounter from using drugs (Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres).

Methadone is taken orally, with orange juice, and this is done under supervision. Pharmacists and physicians need specialized training to dispense and prescribe

people in need of their services. It is not like the owners should have been made to introduce themselves and their mission to the community, however my hometown is quite small, and I am afraid, misconceptions can and have happened.

I feel that had the owners come forward to do community outreach, perhaps this may have quelled the fear that some residents have and we would not have heard comments like: “We have nothing against people going and getting what they need to get help. There should be no stigma attached to that.

And I for one wouldn’t attach. But, they are not all upstanding, wonderful citizens that are going there.”

(Napanee Guide, Jan. 24, 2015) I have taken the liberty of looking up the definition of ‘stigma’ for the local resident who said the above statement, as she obviously has no idea what stigma means. “Stigma: a negative stereotype” (Webster’s Dictionary).

I am disheartened to hear community members refer to this clinic as a ‘meth’ clinic. The word meth has so many negative connotations, and is used

methadone (Ontario Pharmacists Association).

Methamphetamine or ‘meth’ is a highly addictive drug that is smoked, injected or snorted. Because the effects are not long lasting but fuel an intense ‘rush’, addiction to this drug is usually quite rapid.

“Long term methamphetamine use has many negative consequences for physical health, including extreme weight loss, severe dental problems (meth mouth), and skin sores caused by scratching.

Methamphetamine use also raises the risk of contracting infectious diseases like HIV, hepatitis B and C. These can be contracted both by sharing contaminated drug injection equipment and through unsafe sex. Regardless of how it is taken, methamphetamine alters judgment and inhibition and can cause people to engage in these and other types of risky behavior” (National Drug Institute).

Many people think that drug addiction is not a mental illness, but according to the National Drug Institute “drug addiction changes the brain in fundamental ways, disturbing a person’s normal hierarchy of needs and desires

and substituting new priorities connected with procuring and using that drug.”

So, to the members in my community who insist on calling a methadone clinic a ‘meth’ clinic, I implore you: look at these clients, these are human beings trying so hard to beat an addiction, a mental illness if you will. They need the support of the community and not to be torn down by uneducated comments and negative attitudes.

These clients are parents, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters. They are human beings with the basic right to be treated, as we all wish to be, with dignity and respect. When they were born, their parents did not wish this for them, and judgmental comments and unintelligent attitudes do nothing to help support these people — people who need all the support we can give them.

Look beyond the problem to the person. The impact of negative stereotypes placed upon mental disorders and addictions is in fact a form of bullying.

Harper Lee is back HEN it was announced earlier this month that To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee would be publishing a novel this year, I (like everyone else) was shocked. To be honest, I didn’t even know she was alive at this point.

It has been more than half a century since To Kill a Mockingbird was released. It has since won the Pulitzer Prize, sold over 40 million copies and solidified itself as one of the most beloved books of the 20th century, if not all

W

of time. Its author, meanwhile, has shrunk from the spotlight. She is 88 years old and uses a wheelchair, after suffering a stroke.

She is deaf, almost blind, and lives in a care home on the outskirts of the small town in Alabama where she was born. She has become a recluse and hasn’t taken an interview since the 1960s, even turning down Oprah (although the two apparently had a private lunch). It sort of begs the question why she has decided on this next move and whether, as

many have speculated, she is being taken advantage of.

When asked why she had never published anyt h i n g beyond To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee Coles’ h a d always maintained “I already said everything I needed to say,” so how did this new book titled Go Set a Watchman even come to exist?

Well, last summer Lee’s lawyer found the old

manuscript, initially assuming it was To Kill a Mockingbird. The characters were familiar but the passages were different.

Atticus, the crusading l a w y e r, was much Notes o l d e r.

Scout, his feisty daughter, was all grown up. The story unfolded in Alabama during the racial turmoil of the 1950s, not the Depression of the 1930s. It would have been Lee’s literary

Catherine Coles

debut had her editor not rejected it.

If Harper Lee’s lawyer and publishers have her full permission and she understood what was being asked of her (as they insist is the case) then Go Set a Watchman is a wonderful thing. Regardless of the motivations behind the book’s release or its critical reception, it will no doubt be a commercial success.

Shortly after the title was announced, a surge in preorders pushed it to No. 1 on Amazon; HarperCollins is planning a first printing

of two million copies; and we even already have a growing waitlist at library!

You can reserve Go Set a Watchman (in regular print, large print or talking book formats) at your branch of the County of L&A Libraries or online at www.countylibrary.ca. The July release date seems like a ways off but the world has waited this long, what’s another few months?

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 24, 1965 n Although municipal expenses appeared to be going up, the town’s mill rate was going down.

Napanee town council announced that the residential rate would be reduced by 1.9 mills, and the commercial rate would be reduced by 3.2 mills.

Council passed the bylaw to set the mill rate at a recent regular meeting.

At the same meeting, council also increased the honorarium council members would receive for attending an official meetings, with the rate going up from $8 per meeting to $12 per meeting. n Local athlete and Napanee Beaver columnist Garfield Youmans was named as the winner of the Grant Clark Sportsman of the Year award.

The Napanee Recreation Committee voted unanimously to give Youmans the award. It was presented to Youmans between periods during a South Lennox Hockey League game at the Napanee Memorial Community Centre arena.

The award was presented each year to the person who, in the view of the rec committee, did the most to promote sports in Napanee.

35 Years Ago February 20, 1980 n Progressive Conservative MP Bill Vankoughnet was re-elected with a narrower margin of victory than his previous electoral win, but it was a win nonetheless.

Vankoughnet, however, would now find himself in the opposition benches after the short-lived minority PC government was toppled by the Pierre Trudeau-led Liberal Party. The Liberals were elected with a majority government.

Vankoughnet won with a more-than 1,000 vote margin over his nearest competitor, Ron Vastokas.

Vankoughnet had defeated Vastokas by nearly 6,400 votes in the 1979 election. n Members of the Kellar family in North Fredericksburgh narrowly escaped harm when their home went up in flames.

Bryan Kellar was at home with his three children when, at 1 a.m., he awoke to find his kitchen fully engulfed in flames. His wife was out of town at a funeral at the time of the fire.

Kellar woke his three children up and escaped the house.

As another frigid February night settled in outside Napanee’s Salvation Army Tuesday night, members of the Napanee Community Garden were discussing what vegetables they’re planning to plant.

Set to return for its sixth year this spring, the community garden has been a boon for the local food bank. Run by 25 local volunteers, the garden has seen steady growth throughout the years and this year should be no exception.

“All the food we grow goes into the food bank,” explains Steve Pitt, a vol-

unteer with the program. “It all gets used so the more we get, the better.”

The main garden is located on a plot of land on County Rd. 8, which was donated by Gord and Karen Schermerhorn, and is tended to by volunteers. A similar garden was also established at the Macpherson House.

Pitt is once again reaching out to the community and encouraging fellow green thumbs to donate space in their own garden to ‘grow a row’ of vegetables that they will donate to the food bank.

“We had about eight people doing the grow a row program last year and we’d like a few more,” said Pitt. “Anybody that wants to get into the grow

a row program, we will provide them with seeds that they need.”

The program is also hoping to get some of the town’s elementary schools involved as well.

Anyone interested can contact Pitt at 613-354-6808 or Susan Withers at 613-354-5765.

“There’s more need out there in the community so if we can grow more it will get used for sure,” added Pitt.

Along with providing the community with some much needed nutrition, the community garden was also recognized by the Ontario Horticultural Association. For their efforts they were bestowed the District 3 Appreciation Award.

For all its benefits, it had two major drawbacks.

One, the ashes which fell down into the pan below the firebox had to carted out and emptied regularly.

But that was minor compared to the discomfort the intense heat caused for housewives who had to cook on it in the summer.

Both in multiplied personal testimonies and in advertisements, ‘wood heat is the best heat’ prevailed.

And, without a doubt it does provide a cozy kind of warmth. But many a redfaced housewife would gladly have traded that glow for any alternate heat source, rather than the anticipation of ‘slaving over a hot stove’.

But the most ‘delightful’ feature about the kitchen range was the annual cleaning of the stovepipes. The soot which built up on the inside of these pieces of tin ductwork gave a new meaning to ‘indelible’. Even a small amount spilled on the floor took more elbow grease to remove than polishing a stretch limo.

The fingers that handled them, and pounded them until the creosote could be released and shaken out, resembled those of a seasoned coalminer. And, re-assembling them often seemed to be like putting a square peg in a round hole. But, once that operation was complete, there was this consolation: it was finished for another 12 months!

“This is just kind of opening up a new avenue of trying to get people to come in and get a different population so we’re coving everyone who has diabetes or pre-diabetes in the area,” Jacky continued.

The program is already popular among those managing diabetes or pre-diabetes; Jacky says that there are about 1,000 local residents who are on the program’s ‘roster’. “Some people come more frequently than others,” she says. “I have people who like to come in monthly, even just as a checkpoint to touch base on things and stay accountable to their goals.

Other people come once a year to see if anything has changed and check on their bloodwork. We cater to what people want.”

The program uses a ‘team’ approach that involves dieticians,

Those hoping to avail themselves of local diabetes education programming can now do so more easily.

The Lennox and Addington County General Hospital Diabetes Education Program is now being opened up to self-referrals. Previously, the program was primarily geared toward those being referred to the program by their doctor.

According to clinical dietitian Krista Jacky of the L&ACGH Diabetes Education Program, self-referrals would be accepted in the past; however, now the program is being actively promoted for self-referrals.

“We definitely prefer to have it come through the physicians so that there’s accountability, we have somebody to report back to about what we’ve talked about, but we’re only just recently starting to promote the

“With the nurse, they talk about medications, they do foot assessments — that plays a big role in diabetes — we encourage that they have their eyes tested and have regular bloodwork. We talk about testing blood sugars and we also have group classes that we offer,” she said.

Jacky said they’re about to begin a six-week group program in April.

REBOUNDING FROM A LATE START TO RETIREMENT SAVINGS

ome people do not have the ability to begin saving for retirement early on. Others may have brushed retirement savings aside for so long that they are now worried that it’s too late to begin socking away money for retirement.

Deposit money into a 401(k) or 403(b) plan or another retirement vehicle. Jump on any opportunities when your employer matches invested funds. Investigate an IRA and find out if there are any government incentives. Depending on your age, you may be able to deposit more money into such accounts than other investors.

Figure out where you can save some money you competitive quote. can then allocate to retirement savings. Maybe you can reduce insurance coverage on an older car or raise your deductible? Downsize cable packages or skip that costly cup of coffee on the way to work. Perhaps it’s time to look for a smaller, less expensive home or a compact car instead of an SUV. Any money saved now will benefit you when the time comes time to bid farewell to the workforce.

• Delay your retirement. Many people who retire find themselves bored and looking for ways to fill their time, and as a result more and more people are delaying their retirement, which also gives them more time to save for that day when they do call it quits. If you want to work less, discuss and negotiate a phased retirement with Tim Reynolds Tasha Howe your bosses that allows you to stick with your employer but gradually work fewer CFP, CHS B.Comm. hours until you retire completely.

Tax Tips For Canadians Over 65

Tax Tips For Families With Children

Q Income split and save: Seniors are allowed to split up to half of their eligible pension income with a spouse or common-law partner. Income splitting allows some seniors to enjoy a significant tax reduction. In the situation where the lower-income spouse has very little income, the tax savings are substantial.

Q Child Amount: Families will benefit from a $2,255 child amount for each child under the age of 18 for the last time in 2014. This will result in a federal tax saving of $338 per child. And if one parent cannot use the entire amount to lower their tax payable, the unused amount can be transferred to a spouse or common-law partner.

Q Get your benefits: Any senior receiving Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) through Old Age Security should file on time to ensure their benefits continue uninterrupted.

Q Credit for being active: The Children’s Fitness Amount is a non-refundable credit is worth up to $1,000 for children under the age of 16 enrolled in an eligible program of physical activity. Not every program meets the eligibility guidelines so you need to ensure you know the requirements. Make sure you keep your receipts. Disabled children will also qualify for the credit if they are under 18.

Q Transfer amounts: If your spouse is unable to completely offset his or her age amount, pension income and disability amount against tax payable, he or she may transfer the unused portion to your return.

Q Caregiver amount: If you live with your children and you are over 65, they may be able to claim a caregiver amount for you if your income is less than $20,002.

If you are dependent on them due to an infirmity, they may claim you even if.you are under 65. In this case the income threshold will be $22,060. The caregiver amount is increased by the $2,058 family caregiver amount when the dependant is infirm.

Q Foreign pension income: Pensions from foreign countries may be subject to special tax treatment under the terms of a tax treaty. Always check with a tax professional to find out if the pension you receive from a foreign source is taxable in Canada.

Q Split your CPP and save: You may be able to split part of your CPP retirement benefits with your spouse depending on how long you lived together when you were contributing to the plan. This is an advantage if one senior is in a higher tax bracket than the other. However, to do so, you must apply to Human Resources & Social Development Canada using Form ISP-1002. It cannot be done at the time of tax preparation.

Q Medical expenses can add up: If you purchase medical insurance for a trip or wintering in another country, it is considered a medical expense. Medical expenses are calculated based on income so the lower income spouse should claim them. And if you have to travel to obtain medical treatment that was not available where you live, you may be able to claim the cost of transportation, meals and accommodation.

Q Artistic credit: The Children’s Arts Credit is another non-refundable credit worth up to $500 for children under the age of 16 enrolled in an eligible program. This could include language classes, Girl Guides or Scouts, art classes or ballet lessons.

Again, keep your receipts to make the claim.

Q Universal Child Care Benefit: This is available to any family with children regardless of their household income. It used to be available only for children under the age of six. However, effective January 2015, a new $60 per month component will be paid for children over five and under 18. The component for children under six will also be increased from $100 to $160 per month. Parents will receive a retroactive payment in July 2015 for the enhanced amounts for the first six months of the year UCCB is taxable in the hands of the lower-income spouse.

Q Family Tax Cut: For families where one spouse earns more than the other and have at least one child, they may transfer up to $50,000 in taxable income to help reduce their family tax liability. The maximum claim is $2,000.

Q Save for future education: Designed to help save for a child’s post-secondary education, parents can make up to $50,000 RESP lifetime contribution.

Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) per year is $500.

Q Canada Learning Bond: To help lower income families, the Government provides $500 in a CLB at birth for children whose families are entitled to the National Child Benefit Supplement. As long as the family is still entitled to the supplement, they will receive an additional $100 CLB each year until the age of 15.

Trained and trusted, we ensure you get the most out of your taxes.

Local doc gets film festival exposure

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Despite the fact that local film maker Dale Morrisey’s film The Father of Hockey is centred around a unique part of Kingston’s history, the film has never actually screened in the Limestone City.

That will change on March 1 however as it’s slated to be shown during the Kingston Canadian Film Festival. “It’s like a homecoming,� said Morrisey, who operates Wandering Journalist Productions from his home in Greater Napanee. “When I was making the film people kept asking me if the film

was ever going to screen in Kingston. This festival came up and it was the perfect opportunity.�

The film has huge ties to the city as it details Captain James Sutherland’s quest to launch a Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston. Though he was successful, the Kingston one still struggles to be recognized in the shadow to the far more popular Toronto-based facility. “When I first started working on it this was going to be a 30-minute film,� said Morrisey, noting that he envisioned selling it as a television special to PBS markets in New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Vermont. “Then I started researching and I thought, ‘oh, I didn’t

know that, or that.’�

As the information snowballed he soon realized it would require more than just 30 minutes of programming. Working with the Toronto HHOF’s Phil Pritchard, known as the ‘Keeper of the Cup’, he was eventually able to land an interview with Don ‘Grapes’ Cherry himself. Before long, the project had evolved into a feature length documentary.

By Morrisey’s own admission, he never imagined five years ago the film would one day wind up in the Kingston Canadian Film Festival.

Since its DVD release last fall, the film has become a hot commodity. Morrisey

says its sold out of retail outlets such as Wal-Mart and debuted No. 1 in the sports documentary category on Amazon.ca, selling out three times.

Copies are still available at HMV or online outlets such as iTunes and Amazon.ca It’s also available on demand for subscribers of Cogeco, Shaw and Bell with plans to move into the U.S. market in the spring. While proud of all of that, Morrisey says nothing was quite as satisfying as hearing about the excitement his young daughter had in showing all her classmates her dad’s movie on her tablet.

Kingston Canadian Film Festival general manager Marc Garniss expects the Father of Hockey to be a huge hit with the audience. “As far as I know, it has never shown in Kingston,� said Garniss. “It has that local connection plus hockey has universal appeal across Canada.�

He says the film is unique to the festival in that

few local film makers submit full length films. Most are just shorts and even fewer actually tie into Kingston.

The festival, which is now in its 15th year, will run from Feb. 26 to March 1 at various venues throughout

the city. The Father of Hockey will be shown March 1 at 11:30 a.m. at the Baby Grand on 218 Princess St. Following the screening Morrisey will engage in a Q&A session with the audience.

Advance tickets are available in three film passes or VIP passes, which grants access to all screenings and receptions surrounding the event.

They’re available online at KingCanFilmFest.com.

Single passes for a particular film are sold at the door a half hour before showtime.

Along with continuing to do press for The Father of Hockey, Morrisey is currently at work on a follow up documentary which tells the story of George Patterson, who scored the first goal in Toronto Maple Leafs history, as well as a documentary on basketball.

review of historical operating expenses and capital expenditures and taxation policies, since the urban/rural taxation policy was implemented. “And that the calendar year of 2015 be the time frame for this first phase of municipal taxation policy. “And that the balance of this term of council be used to discuss and implement or delete municipally imposed tax rates for future councils going forward with input from staff, elected officials, and Greater Napanee tax payer in a committee format open to the public.�

Lucas said that over the next year, he would like to see a full report in order to properly answer questions raised by the public regarding taxation. “I think it’s going to be really hard for members of the public or members of

council to go forward with a direction if we don’t have a good comprehension of how that money’s been spent, collected, operating and capital, for the last 10 years, and that 2015 be spent doing that. Then, once we have a level of education for 2015, then we can be better able to judge what would be fair going forward,� Lucas explained.

Lucas added that the recent Service Area Review that Greater Napanee staff brought to council was, in his opinion, “very inconclusive and very narrow in scope,� and he would like to see something with more detail, specifically for taxation.

Lucas’s notice of motion will be brought forward at the next Greater Napanee regular council meeting, which is scheduled for March 10.

“That the Town of Greater Napanee undertake a complete review of our municipally imposed urban/rural taxation policies during this term of council that includes but not limited to, staff reports, questions and direction from current elected officials, and questions/comments from Greater Napanee taxpayers. “And that this review be done above and beyond our current municipal business and budget process and that this ad-hoc committee (be) conducted in the public forum open to the public, with pre-determined meeting date. “And that the first stage of this review be a complete

Rebels muscle up to steal Game 1 on the road Raiders look to rebound Saturday

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

The home team Napanee Raiders turned out a clunker in Game 1 of their best-of-seven semifinal series on Tuesday, limping to a 4-1 loss to the Campbellford Rebels.

Braun outmatched speed as the Rebels used size to their advantage to halt any Raider progress along the wings. Though Napanee outshot the visitors 37-32 on the night, the Rebels far exceeded their opponents in quality chances.

“We were tentative, weren’t physical enough,” said Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick. “That was definitely not our best game. Tomo (Mikuljan) made some big saves to keep us in it but we made some mistakes that they scored on. You can’t change five guys at once and give them a two-on-nothing.”

It was that ill-advised change late in the second that proved to be a pivotal

play. With the scored knotted at 1-1 the Raiders attempted to switch lines as the Rebels were skating through centre ice. The Raiders were caught in between and on the ensuing odd mad rush Jacob Bennett potted what would turn out to be the game winner.

Napanee did hold a brief lead in the game when Evan Brown converted a pass from Aidan Girduckis and Keenan Murray for a power-play goal at the 6:38 mark of the second.

Nick Ferguson would respond for the Rebels seven minutes later. Both goals seemed to relax each team just a little bit, as they both turned in a tentative opening frame as they dealt with the jitters of a first playoff game. The SPC crowd added to the atmosphere, providing ample noise for both sides.

By the third the Rebels were in complete control.

Jon Samis all but sealed the win with a power-play goal at the 13:17 mark.

Desperate to ignite the offense the Raiders pulled Mikuljan with two minutes left but promptly lost control of the puck and watched Colin Doyle ice a short-handed empty net

goal.

Though the Raiders did outshoot their opponents 17-9 over the final 20 minutes, there was never really a sense that they were testing Rebel goalie Cole Mahoney, who finished with 36 saves.

“I didn’t think we had a lot of good chances,” said Hartwick. “I felt in the third we had one line that was going pretty good and we had some decent opportunities, but the bottom line is we lost a lot of battles on the boards and played too soft for a playoff game.”

Though he didn’t get the win, Mikuljan still turned in a solid effort.

Regardless of how he fared, he Raiders’ only dressed goalie for the game as Cam Parr was forced out after earning an attempt to injury suspension in the final game of the season.

He now has three games left to serve.

This series’ playoff format is a bit different than what the Empire B League has done in the past, which will see the first two games played in Napanee followed by two in Campbellford and then alternating for Games 5 through 7, if necessary. In previous

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

A sliding Zach Knapp-Hermer reaches back to control the puck during Tuesday’s Game 1 of the Empire B League semifinals. He drew a slashing penalty on the play. years the teams have almost always alternated throughout the series.

That means Napanee will host a crucial Game 2 this Saturday with an 8 p.m. start time at the SPC. Lose that game and they face an 0-2 hole with Game 3 (Sunday) and Game 4

(Tuesday) in Campbellford.

“The next game is very important,” said Hartwick.

“We’re going to have to come out and take more pucks to the net and play better on the wall. I don’t think we’re panicking right now by any means, but there needs to be more

urgency than there was tonight.”

Should the series go the distance Game 5 would be in Napanee next Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. with Game 6 on Feb. 28 in Campbellford.

Lady Hawks hockey team advances to KASSAA semifinals NDSS’ hockey clubs to host playoff games this afternoon; volleyball and basketball teams ousted

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

ara Kennedy was perfect for the NDSS Golden Hawks in Tuesday’s quarter-finals, blanking the Ernestown 30 at the SPC to move the girls hockey team through to KASSAA’s final four.

The Napanee goalie answered the call when tested, holding Ernestown at bay while the Hawks' offense slowly but surely began to get warm.

After acquiring six minutes worth of penalties in the game’s opening 15 minutes, the Hawks finally settled down and went to work. Kaitlyn Hearns and Brianna Gaffney potted goals in the second while Logan Conger sealed the win with a power-play marker in the third.

“I think we ran into a hot goalie,” team captain Conger said of Napanee’s early scoring struggles.

“You try to think of the positives and what you're doing right. We just needed to find out where we could shoot on her, which ended up being up top.”

Indeed the fact that

S

Napanee didn’t score until just passed the halfway mark of the game wasn’t for lack of trying. They spent the majority of the time on the attack and had several quality shots before finally breaking through.

“We had to move the puck around and use each other more,” said Hawks assistant captain Erika Barton.

“The sides were there,” Conger said of moving the puck into Eagles’ territory.

“They were bunching up in the middle and we just had to find a way to get the puck in there by using each other instead of just trying to do it all by ourselves.”

Napanee entered the game as the top seed after going 7-0-1 on the season.

Ernestown on the other hand checked in with a 1-7 record but played the home team tough and improved upon the 7-0 defeat they suffered against Napanee on their Feb. 10 regular season meeting.

With the win the Hawks advance to the semifinals to take on the Regi Panthers this afternoon at noon on the SPC’s Home Hardware rink.

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

NDSS’ Anna Murphy attempts to gather up a rebound and fire a shot from in close on the Ernestown goalie during Tuesday’s KASSAA quarter-final game.

“We have to come in with a positive mind set and use each other and just try to get the lead quick,” assistant captain Brianna Gaffney said heading into today’s semifinal.

Gaffney says with two solid goalies in Kennedy and Izzy McDonald, the team can become even tougher when they jump onto the scoreboard early.

With a win this after-

noon the Hawks would return to the KASSAA finals for a second straight year. They are looking to avenge last year’s finish, when they were bested by the Holy Cross Crusaders.

The Crusaders, who also finished the year 7-0-1, are set to take part in league’s other semifinal game against La Salle, also this afternoon. In their only regular season meeting the Hawks and Crusaders skated to a 2-2 draw.

NDSS’ boys hockey team will begin their playoff quest this afternoon, hosting the Sydenham Golden Eagles at 2:30 p.m. in the quarter-finals at the SPC. The Hawks doubled up on La Salle 4-2 to close out the regular season with a 6-3-1 record, good for third in KASSAA. The Golden Eagles finished 5-4, placing them sixth.

While it was a successful week for NDSS on the ice, several of their fellow winter sports team saw their seasons come to an end in the quarter-finals.

On the basketball court the senior boys dropped a 69-26 game to Sydenham.

In volleyball both the senior and junior girls teams were swept in three sets. The 4-7 seniors fell to second ranked Sydenham while the 7-6 juniors were defeated by second place Bayridge.

Novice A Stars push through to OMHA semis Beaver Sports

he Napanee Country Traditions Novice A Stars are moving on in the OMHA playoffs to the semifinals after defeating Cobourg twice this weekend.

On the road Friday night the Stars won 3-1.

Zered Haller scored the first goal assisted by Benjamin Buxton and Jayden Holden. Nolan Cardinal and Seth Rivers provided the Stars’ other goal with Haller helping on both scores. On Sunday at home the Stars finished the series with a 2-1 win. With .08 seconds left on the clock in the first period Lucas Jarmin scored from the point on a smart pass from Haller and Caleb South.

Haller then scored shorthanded on a breakaway in the third to make it 2–1.

With 1:10 left in the third Cobourg called a timeout and pulled their goalie for the extra attacker. The Stars played strong to give Aiden Vallier another win.

The team will now face the Port Perry Predators in the next round. n Meanwhile the Firelight Major Bantams continued their OMHA quarter-finals defeating Port Perry 4-3 in a crucial game on the road.

Down 1-0 in the second, the team turned up the offense, as Steven Shea hit the scoresheet, with assists from Kyle Weese and Eric Joyner. Kiel Benton put them ahead on a goal set up by Ethan Winter. Brendan Hagerman scored two more to stretch the lead to 4-1 after two periods. Shea had a pair of assists, and Nelson Powers earned one helper. Their hosts made it close in the final frame with two of their own, but Napanee shut the door, aided by goalie, Finn Pierce.

Sunday at home was another tight affair with both teams having their moments, including at least three Napanee shots off the iron, but even with overtime, the contested ended in a 2-2 tie. In the first, Joyner sent Benton away,

T

and he found Adam Doyle who put it through the goalie. The Predators replied with two, before Powers closed out the scoring from Hagerman and Shea. Bailey Maracle was solid in net. The squad’s record is now 20 games without a loss dating back to Nov. 29. As a result of their first place finish in the league, the Firelight boys play the pivotal Game 3 at the SPC on Friday at 8 p.m., leading 3-1 in points in this six point series. n The Napanee Minor Bantams began their roundrobin with a 2-2 draw facing Whitby on Friday night.

The boys took an early lead in the first, on a goal by Nate Brant, assisted by Adam Burger, but needed last minute heroics to tie the game with a tally by Nick Kennelly, with helpers

by Ethan Armstrong and Corbin Gibson. Murray Craig earned the tie between the pipes.

On Sunday, in Trenton, the boys played another steady defensive game facing Quinte West, but again had to settle for a 2-2 tie.

Cal DuChene and Armstrong accounted for Napanee’s goals. Cole East was credited with the tie in net. n Taylor Gilmore scored two critical goals in two overtime games to help the Gray’s IDA Minor Atom A Stars grab a 2-0 lead in the second round of the Lakeshore Playoffs as they face Whitby (White) in a pair of nail-biters. First, the Stars hosted Whitby in a back-and-forth affair that needed overtime for the Stars to pull out the victory.

Carter McKee, Aiden Haller-Brady and Ethan Sutcliffe netted goals during regulation, while Whitby answered with two for a tie at the end of regulation.

Just 3:05 into overtime, Taylor Gilmore was able to get the puck with an assist from Jake Wood and Gavin Brooks to score the winner.

Whitby came out strong on Sunday, hoping to even the series, and scored early in the first. The Stars answered back on a goal from Jack Madden to even

the score after one. Napanee came out firing in the second with goals from Gilmore and Brooks. However, Whitby answered back with two, for a 3-3 tie after two. Ty Kemp continued excellent play to score the go-ahead goal in the third, but with 2:44 minutes remaining in regulation, Whitby tied it at 4-4.

Gilmore got the winner at 3:25 in overtime as a routine puck to the net slipped past the goalie giving the Stars the 5-4 victory.

The Stars hoped to close out the series on Wednesday at the SPC. Results weren’t known at press time. n The Major Atom Stars began round two of the Lakeshore playoffs on Saturday hosting Clarington.

The opening period started out fast paced with chances at both ends, but it was the locals who opened the scoring with Logan Lalande beating the Toros’ goalie.

Late in the first, Reid Lambert fired a wrist shot to the top corner. Early in the second, the Stars added to their lead, as Braden Bannon was able to redirect a point shot from Tyler Brady. With 4:46 remaining in the middle stanza Ben Albright went into the offensive zone on a one-ontwo and was able to split the defense, and went bar down on the back hand to lead 4-0. In the third, the Stars continued their dominance, and closed out the third with Lambert and Lalande each adding their second of the contest for a convincing 6-0 win. Assisting on the Stars’ goals were Lambert, Quinton Pierce, Brady, Ethan Martin, Mason Arthur, Lalande and Payton Clarke.

Ryan Aldridge registered his fourth win in the playoffs.

On Sunday the Majors visited the Toros, and the hosts planned to slow down the Stars’ transition game.

Early in the first, the plan backfired as the Toros took their first of many penalties, and the Stars capitalized on the man advantage with Bannon scoring. The second had both teams

trading chances in their respective offensive zones, but the goalies kept it a one-goal game. In the third with more power play time the Stars’ Lambert beat the goalie on the short side.

The Toros turned on the offensive pressure, but the Stars’ team defense shut them down to take a commanding 2-0 series lead.

Pierce, Martin and Lalande assisted for the Stars.

Aldridge backstopped the Stars to their fifth shutout of the playoffs. The Stars were looking to end the series last night. n The McCaw Mortgage Team MD 7 Stars played Saturday in Belleville, and held a 3-1 lead until the third period when the Bulls were able to rally back and tie the game 3-3. Goaltender Aidan DiFazio had a tough game as he was run into his net twice, in the second period and once more in the third, he did not let this get to him though making impressive saves throughout to hold the Stars in. Goals were seen from Matthew Airhart, Mason Goodfellow and Dylan Kemp. Sunday’s home game was a much different story for the Stars as they took on rival Quinte West Golden Hawks and managed to walk over them with an impressive 9-4 final score.

The Stars were down 20 after the first three minutes of play, but Owen Kish was able to put one in the net at the four-minute mark. Dylan Kemp followed suit tying the game, and before period end Kish would get another to finish the first 3-2. As the game waged on the Stars didn’t look back with Kish getting a hat trick plus one, Goodfellow getting two, and Carter Slaven and Owen Dwyer each getting one.

Strong defensive play was seen from Carter Hartwick, Blake Wood, Miles Jones, and Connor Birney as they held the blue line in the offensive end and swiftly moved the puck up to the forwards and out of the defensive end.

Loved always Mom, Dad and Family

MEMORIAMS

DUKESHIRE - In loving memory of Grace, who passed away July 20, 1996.

Grace’s life is a beautiful memory, Her death a silent grief, She walks with us down every path, Her spirit gives us quiet relief, We realize God knew best And tenderly we treasure the past, As you would want us to.

Missed by sons, Allan, Wilfred (deceased) and Ronald Hart, daughters-in-law, Norma and Bevrley and grandchildren, John, Carolyn and Michael.

McTAGGART - In loving memory of our sister, Debbie, who passed away February 22, 2010.

If we listen really closely In the silence of the night, We hear your voice to comfort us And say that you’re alright, But it’s often hard to understand Why certain things must be And the reasons why they happen, Are so often hard to see, But we find comfort in the knowledge That God is always here, To keep the one we loved so much, Forever in His care.

Love, Esther and David.

In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandpa and great-grandpa, Doug Reid, who passed away February 20, 2006.

O’NEILL - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, Joseph, who passed away February 22, 1991.

We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday And the days before that too, We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame, Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

Lovingly remembered by Barbara, Joe and Bonnie, Scott, Terry and Sandra and families.

son and Andy Graham with runner up Andy Palmer, Liz Graham, Murray Halliday and Stacey Jones. Moving right along, the Wednesday Ladies showed Sheryl French, Karen Brant, Lisa Mooney, Tara Perry and Linda Perry as winners with close runner ups Nancy Osborne, Jane Pearson, Linda Bongard and Marg Peters. The Thursday Ladies had Debbie Currier, Shelley Alkenbrack, Janine Murray and Marie Craigen winning followed very closely by Jane Hough, Brenda Kerr, Phyllis Babe and Sue Sharpe. Last is the Friday Mixed winners of Daryl Latimer, Lana Latimer, Matt Downey and Chris Downey.

The Wednesday Senior Men and the Thursday Men have a long round robin second draw and are still a few games away from determining the winners.

Congratulations are in order for the team of Ian Munro, Brian Chadwich,

Jim Head and Andy Graham, which came second in the Land’O’Lakes Senior Mens Bonspiel last weekend. A second team with skip Frank Dunham also curled so this was another great showing from the NDCC. There will be some good curling on display at the club Saturday during the Highland Lassie as well as next Wednesday during the Town & Country Bonspiel. NDCC’s new Continental Cup has a full compliment of 40 curlers (two teams) for Sunday March 1st so Doug Pennell and Allan Wrigglesworth has lots planned for a fun filled day of curling.

The club’s fundraising directors are all geared up for our second ‘Elegant Junk’ garage sale to be held April 18 at the club.

March and April are spring cleaning months so it’s a great time to put an item or two aside for this great club fundraiser. Further information and drop off

times will be announced later in March. Sign up sheets for volunteer help needed to make this as successful as our last one is on the easel or ask Shelley Alkenbrack or Debbie Currier for more information.

The volunteer write up by event ‘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 if anyone’s willing to assist as a couple of duties in a curling season. On that note, the club wants to thank those who have already assisted with the new Novice League on Sundays starting with Sheryl Martin who took over the convenor position from me and the instructors Ian Munro, Dave Travers and Andy Palmer plus assistants Don and Brenda Kerr, Jim Sunstrum, Pam Jordan, Ken Booker and Chris Downey.

RAIDERS | Will need to solve road woes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 A winner-take-all Game 7 would be March 1 in Napanee, also starting at 7:30 p.m.

By dropping Game 1, that means the Raiders will need to win at least once on the road if they are to advance. Their road

woes are well documented, as they went just 9-11 away from the SPC. The Rebels meanwhile were 109-1 when playing as the visitor.

Elsewhere in the league’s other semifinal showdown the top seeded Port Hope Panthers scored a 4-1 victory over the Picton Pirates in Sunday’s Game 1 of the best-of-

seven. Game 2 is set for tonight in Picton with Game 3 in Port Hope and Game 4 in Picton. The Pirates, who are two-time defending league champions, managed to squeak into the final playoff spot courtesy an Amherstview Jets loss in their final game of the regular season.

The Pirates finished with 43 points to the Jets’ 42.

MCG - When homeowners think about renovating their properties, many first need to secure some funding to finance such projects.

Some may tap into the equity of their homes by refinancing an existing mortgage, while others may apply for home equity loans.

Taking the latter approach may require certain steps, including an assessment of how much the home and property is worth.

Home appraisals compare your home to neighbouring properties to determine your home’s current market value. Homeowners can facilitate the process by having certain information readily available for the appraiser. When preparing for appraisers, homeowners should consider and collect the following information: • If your home was built on the largest lot in the community.

• If you have made significant upgrades since it was last appraised, such as installing a new roof or siding.

Don’t overlook smaller renovations, like extra insulation added or sealing drafty windows, which can increase a home’s value.

• Proof that you have used sustainable resources or if you participated in any energy-savings programs.

Naturally, any expansion

Thursday,February 19, 2015

projects, such as adding another bedroom or extending the footprint of the home, should be mentioned.

A real estate appraiser is a certified, licensed professional who will do his or her best to determine the value of your home. The appraisal provides banks with information that can tell loan officers if the house is worth the loan amount. Expect to pay a fee for the appraisal, which is generally included in your closing costs.

The appraiser gathers information for the appraisal report from a number of sources, but the process often begins with a physical inspection of the property, both inside and out. He or she also will compare your home against a few others in the neighbourhood, which are known as comparables, or comps. Appraisals will be based on recent prices of comparable properties as well as other factors.

Apart from the improvements done to the home, there are other ways to get a higher appraisal amount.

The appraiser may consider the overall maintenance of the home and property. It is wise to consider curb appeal and ensure the home is clean and maintained when the appraiser arrives. Minor repairs or common maintenance can impress the ap-

praiser. Removing clutter and cleaning up the home’s interior can make the home appear larger, possibly increasing its value as a result.

It may be worth it to invest some more money into the property before having an appraisal done. A study sponsored by the National Association of Realtors says wood floors, landscaping and an enclosed garage can lead to a more favourable appraisal.

An appraiser will spend roughly 30 minutes in a home. Try to give that person space to do his or her job. Following the appraiser around during an inspection can raise a red flag that something is wrong with the house that you don’t want to be seen. Turn lights on throughout the house, make sure the heating or cooling system is functioning at full capacity and keep pets locked away. Move items that can impede access to basements or attics.

An accurate assessment of the value of your home will give banks the information they need to determine loan amounts for future renovation projects. Providing background information on the home and having a wellmaintained property can improve the chances of a favourable appraisal.
