Drive-In Road barn destroyed by fire BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
A mid-afternoon barn fire on Monday has left a Napanee family scrambling to replace hay and tack supplies for seven horses. There were no injuries, human or animal, reported from the fire, which broke out around 4 p.m. in a large wooden barn located on Drive-In Road. Flames quickly engulfed the entire structure as Greater Napanee Emergency Services arrived on scene. All told, 30 crew from GNES were required on-scene throughout the call with water tankers from Stone Mills and Deseronto assisting. An excavator was brought in to help spread some of the hay that was stored in the barn to prevent another flare up of flames. A fire crew returned early Tuesday morning to douse any smouldering hay that remained. At the height of the blaze billowing smoke could be seen miles away. Though all the animals in the barn were safely evacuated, a full year’s cut of hay was lost in the fire, along with halters, buckets, Western tack, brushes, horse blankets as well as small engine repair tools. GNES fire chief Kevin Donaldson says it could be some time before the cause of the blaze is determined.

Flames quickly engulfed a wooden barn on Drive-In Road on Monday, completely destroying the structure. There were no injuries, though a large quantity of hay was destroyed. “It’s always hard with a barn because there’s extensive damage done before you even get there on scene,” said Donaldson. “It makes it difficult. We’ll get back out there and get a real good look at it in the
daylight and see what we can come up with.” Friends of the family have set up a Go Fund Me account to help replace the lost horse supplies. Anyone looking to make a dona-

Council gets assessment details from MPAC
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Increasing assessment values on farm properties — and the corresponding increase in property taxes — were a point of concern for some Lennox and Addington County council members during a visit from the Municipal
Property Assessment Corporation last week. During her presentation to council at its regular meeting on Wednesday, MPAC Regional Account Manager Bev Disney advised council that Ontario farm properties had increased in assessed value by 64 per cent over the last four years — and 76 per cent in eastern Ontario.
BRIDGE WEST ANIMAL HOSPITAL DR. JULIE AMEY 311 Bridge Street West, Napanee 613-409-PETS (7387)
Disney said there were a few factors that explain that valuation increase. “Some of the key factors that are contributing to the higher values for farms include historically low interest rates, which allow farmers to expand their farmers operations,” she said. “Over the past several years, the demand for farmland has increased, while the supply hasn’t necessarily increased at the same rate.” She also said that increased demand from southern Ontario for eastern Ontario properties and the purchasing of land by expanding high-intensity farming operations have also driven the value of farmland upward.
Following her presentation, some council members said that farmers in this area were being hit hard by steadily-increasing assessment. “On my farm, for example — and I suspect with most farmers — the fact that the farmland value has gone up and therefore our taxes have gone up does not mean that I’m making more money from that land,” said Stone Mills Deputy-Reeve John Wise, who owns a farm near Centreville. “My income from that land is subject to market variations and fluctuations — it goes up and down, but the taxes only go up.” Disney said that tax impacts don’t factor into MPAC’s mandate. “From an

assessment perspective, MPAC’s goal is to ensure that the assessment of your property reflects its accurate market value. We do that based on an analysis of sales, (and) an analysis of information we have on file for your property,” she said. She also said that any property owner who feels their property has been incorrectly assessed can contact MPAC and take advantage of opportunities for the agency to have another look at their valuation. She also noted that, from a tax perspective, farmers can apply to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs for a possible rebate. In terms of tax policy, county council was advised by L&A Director of Finance and Physical Services Stephen Fox that the county’s tax ratios currently have farm properties taxed at 25 per cent the rate of residential properties. He said the county’s tax ratios would be discussed once again during the county’s upcoming 2017 budget sessions. He said that the county could choose to reduce the tax ratio for farm properties, but warned that any reduction in
that tax category would result in a shift of the tax burden to the other property classes. Similar concerns over farm assessments and their impact on property taxes were raised at a Greater Napanee budget meeting on Thursday, where Disney made a similar presentation regarding the 2016 Assessment. Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser, like Wise, pointed out that while assessments and property taxes were going up, farm incomes weren’t necessarily going up to match it. “The price of a bushel of corn in 2016 is exactly the same nominal value of what it was in 1972,” said Kaiser, who is also a farmer. “We may be producing more but we aren’t producing that much more.” Ward 1 councillor Mike Schenk said that, in some cases, the increase in property valuations has been dramatic. “I bought a farm in late 2015, paid $2,500 an acre for an 100 acre farm. Got an assessment on Jan. 1, 2016, it’s worth $8,200 an acre. That’s a common occurrence,” he said. With notes from Adam Prudhomme.

Budding distiller looks for lift from Dragon’s Den
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Just like the character on the front of his new brand of whisky, Cole Miller is taking something of a leap — and he’s hoping an appearance on CBC’s entrepreneurial reality show Dragons Den will serve as an effective launching pad. Miller, a Napanee native and Carleton University student, appeared on the show last night to pitch the ‘dragons’ on an investment opportunity for his Twelve Barrels whisky, a blend of Canadian and American whiskies. And if you tuned in, you’d know that he was successful in striking a deal with a pair of dragons. Miller says, however, that the deal arranged on the show “fell through in the paperwork”, as Miller continues to try to also hammer out a deal to sell his product through the LCBO. Miller says those talks are still ongoing, and he’s hopeful that the whisky will be available for sale either at some LCBO outlets and bars in the not-too-distant future. Cole is also eying markets out of province. Further, he says that he continues to be in contact with his would-be Dragons Den partners, who he says are still interested in coming on board. Before appearing in front of the dragons, Miller had not only fashioned an innovative business model and a tasty product, but had also steeped the whisky in local history, in lore he uncovered while researching at the Lennox and Addington Archives
The name ‘Twelve Barrels’ is based on a feat accomplished in the late 1800s by George Meagher, the son of Napanee distillery owner and miller John Meagher. George, on his way to becoming a world champion figure skater, would jump over his father’s whisky barrels. “He would put them out on the Napanee River, and also take them out towards Bath, on Lake Ontario. That’s where he actually jumped 12 barrels for the first time,” he said. Although John’s whiskey business didn’t survive, George would travel the world for skating exhibitions — he’s even credited with introducing hockey to Europe before the turn of the century. Miller’s own story started in Napanee as well, when he embarked on some clandestine brewing attempts as a teenager. Since then, he’s spent time as an apprentice distiller in the United Kingdom, where he learned the ins-and-outs of the industry. “That was good fun,” he said. “I was able to go over there, work for five months, and learn the craft — from milling the grain all the way through maturation and blending. I got my hands on making the vodka and gin as well, and did a little bit of marketing, advertising, sales, and on some weekends when I wasn’t working, I would do the festivals.” That’s also where he got the idea for his business model, which relies on the purchase of whiskies from other distilleries to create his own unique blend of whisky. By approaching the venture in this way, he says
he avoids the risky proposition of creating his own distillery and warehouse, and having to wait the necessary three years for the whiskey to adequately mature before it’s available for sale. “Because I’m able to do that, I don’t own a distillery, I don’t own bottling facilities. My overhead, for all intents and purposes, is zero, in comparison to a craft distillery,” he said. Although the business model is not unique, he said no “Ontario-specific” company has gone in this direction. As for the whiskey itself, it not only got a thumbs up from Dragons Den investors, it also recently won a bronze medal at the Canadian Whisky Awards in the ‘best value’ category. Once it hits shelves, a bottle will sell for about $35. “It tastes like a hybrid between your standard (Canadian rye whisky) and an American rye whiskey — ‘bourbonish’ style,” Miller says of Twelve Barrels. “It has a little bit more punch from that bourbon/rye/American flavour, and then mellows out with the Canadian bit. We were able to incorporate that by having a little bit more rye than the average Canadian whiskey would have, and we also use new barrels.” And while Twelve Barrels currently relies on whiskies from outside distillers, Miller says he hopes to gradually come up with new recipes as the company grows until, eventually, he’ll have the capacity to operate his own distillery.

Schermerhorn pushes for proactive business approach

Cites concerns over competitiveness, U.S.

BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
With troubling economic trends in Ontario and uncertainty stemming from the new U.S. presidency, Greater Napanee Mayor Gord Schermerhorn says Lennox and Addington County should be “proactive� in retaining and attracting new business to the area. At L&A County council’s regular meeting last Wednesday night, Schermerhorn presented a notice of motion calling on the county, through its Economic Development Coalition, to host a series of roundtables with L&A businesses and farmers to better understand the challenges they face and to find ways to provide assistance. Schermerhorn also recommended that the county engage in a new program to make sure businesses in L&A know they’re valued. “We have to ask our economic development coalition to bring back to council a program to show appreciation to businesses that support our community — not necessarily a gala event, but just something simple,� he said.
He said the county issued cards “two or three years ago� to county business expressing the county’s appreciation for their activity in L&A and advising them to contact the economic development department for any assistance, if needed. “I had several businesses around the county tell me that they appreciated that card,� Schermerhorn said. Before making his recommendations, Schermerhorn outlined how Canada and Ontario had seen a steady loss of manufacturing jobs over the past decade — including 30,000 jobs last year. He said that taxes, the cost of electricity, high labour costs and assembly-line automation all contributed to industries picking up and leaving for other jurisdictions. He also noted that, in one instance, an Ontario business was lured to Tennessee, where the company was being offered several incentives in order for it to relocate. “The Ontario government says they have recovered 560,000 jobs since 2009. But, they don’t say (in what sector) they’ve been created, or if they’re full-time or parttime,� Schermerhorn said.

Picturing Our Community
Time for reason to win out Based on the events that took place last Sunday night in Quebec City, we think now is a good time for all of us to take a deep breath, engage in some reflection and ask ourselves this question: is this really where we’re going? Although there are still many questions left to be answered regarding the incident — where a gunman entered a mosque during prayers and began shooting, killing six and wounding several others — it appears these people were targeted for no other reason than they happen to be Muslim. This is something that simply cannot stand. And yet, it does. One need not dig too deeply into the Internet to find some people — a lot of people — who will tell you that all Muslims are, at the very least, terrorist sympathizers, bent on the destruction of Western civilization. If this is the starting point for people, is it any great shock that someone decided to take up arms against what, to them, is clearly a mortal enemy in their midst? Ironically, it’s this ugly attitude that real Islamic terrorists want to foment. They want Muslims living in the West to feel as though they’re hated by their fellow citizens. They want western governments to single out Muslims for special persecution. They want otherwise peaceful and lawabiding Muslims to be viewed as enemies and outsiders. They’ve said as much, and they’ve gone to great and terrible lengths to achieve their goal. It must be encouraging for these violent ideologues — and sobering for peaceful and reasonable people — that their strategy appears to be working to a tee. That’s where some reflection is required. We need to think about what these extremists — whether they be Islamist or (for lack of a better term) Western extremists want to achieve. And, we need to stop playing into their hands. Our leaders here in Canada, for the most part, seem to understand this. Across political lines, the condemnation of Sunday’s attack was universal. Further, based on the popular response to the attack, it’s clear the vast majority of Canadians rightly see Sunday’s attack as reprehensible. This is encouraging. Fear, however, can be a motivating force — and rarely is it a force for good. It is crucial that we reject the fearful ideologies of those on the fringe, and refuse to play their game. We must put our trust in reason and in core principles. If we don’t, all is truly lost — and the senseless deaths of those six people in Quebec will be just one sad milestone on the long, slow road to defeat.

Letter to the Editor
‘Trumpism’ hits us We cannot avoid the influence of the United States: socially, economically, politically, or by radical decisions of their president. Statistically, it was a matter of time before a terrorist event scarred our treasured land, and in this case Quebec City, the most beautiful city in North
America. There is a very small percentage of mentally unstable individuals in any population of any country, vulnerable for reaction in certain situations. President Donald Trump’s disdain for the Muslim world is apparent in his rhetoric and anti-immi-
grant decrees could very well tip the scales for one or more of these vulnerable unstable individuals. World leaders need to calm the waters of the earth, not seed the clouds of storm! Gale Rogers, Greater Napanee

During 2016, the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre admitted 3,450 injured birds and mammals. Of that number just under 50 per cent were birds and 10 per cent of those were injured from cat attacks or from window strikes. The actual number of birds brought into Sandy Pines from the KingstonBelleville area due to injuries incurred by window strikes was 161. But if you consider those not observed or reported, the number would be much higher. Sue

threat, a bird will flee. But when a feeder is too close to a house, the bird, unable to get up speed in a short distance, will often hit a nearby window or wall. A simple solution is to place your feeder at least six metres from your home. Sue mentions another concern: “Birds that do not die upon impact can become easy prey for predators such as cats, raccoons, gulls or other animals.” Taking steps to reduce window strikes by birds may be a bit of bother, but worth it when you consider the statistics. Of those 161 birds admitted to Sandy Pines last year, 107 either died or had to be euthanized; only 49 were released with five still in active care. And these statistics represent only a tiny fraction of actual occurrences.

■ A new healthy baby clinic was being established in Sillsville in South Fredericksburgh by the L&A County Health Unit. The purpose of the clinic was to provide some instruction on child care, discussion of nutrition, habit formation, growth and development, health promotion and disease prevention. Weight records and notes on progress would be kept for each visit. New babies would be examined by the medical officer of health following the mother’s conference with the public health nurse. Various immunizations for common childhood diseases such as diptheria and whooping cough would also be administered at these clinics. ■ Active members of various farm organizations and commodity groups were saying they were concerned with the “apathetic attendance” at most of their meetings. These meetings would often be called “for the purpose of transacting some important changes or improvements in the policies of the organization, and too often, the changes (were) affected with only a pitiful few present to represent the views of the entire organization.”
35 Years Ago February 3, 1982 ■ The Lennox and Addington County Board of Education and its elementary teachers hammered out a new one-year contract that included a 13 per cent wage increase. A ratification vote had already been held among members of the L&A Elementary Teachers Association, with more than 90 per cent voting in favour of the new deal. School board trustees also voted to accept the deal that had been worked out among negotiators. “The name of the game in negotiations is to make it as fair as possible,” said Jane Scott, school board chair, upon announcing the deal. ■ After three years of wrangling, it appeared as though South Fredericksburgh Township would get a new boat launch on the north shore of Hay Bay, just west of Clark Island. Township council had been urging the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority to put a new boat ramp in place for three years — to the point where the township refused to pay its CRCA levy until the work was done. According to the CRCA, work would be done to an improve an old, pre-existing ramp on the site. It was expected that the project would cost $3,000 to make the boat launch re-usable.

Healthy, active living key message for 2017 campaign Canvassers hitting the street this month for Heart and Stroke Foundation
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
ESPITE a handful of medical breakthroughs of the last decade, a troubling trend of inactivity and poor diet continues to contribute to the fact that every seven minutes a Canadian dies from heart disease or stroke. That’s why this February volunteers with the Heart and Stroke Foundation will once again be going

door to door not just canvassing for donations, but to spread heart-healthy information. Lennox and Addington residents can expect to see a canvasser at their door anytime throughout the next month, clearly marked with a name tag. Last year the month-long campaign raised $270,000 across the region with $10.6 million raised across Canada. “All of the money from canvassing in February goes directly to heart research,” said Jackie St. Pierre, area

manager for the Kingston, Belleville and surrounding area Heart and Stroke Foundation office. “Because of the research that’s going on, we see up to 80 per cent of premature heart disease and stroke can be prevented. So going door to door this month, not only are we canvassing to raise money for heart research, but we’re also presenting our risk assessment tool.” The tool, which can be found on the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s rebranded website (www.HeartandStroke.ca), has users fill out a fiveminute survey which will in
turn identify their health risks. “Because of research we’ve seen a 75 per cent decrease in heart disease and stroke death,” added St. Pierre. “But today the threat of heart disease and stroke is more urgent due to our aging population and our rising obesity rates and diabetes.” This year’s Heart and Stroke Month carries with it the theme of ‘Life: We Don’t Want You To Miss It’, which stresses how just a few small changes can greatly increase the chances of living longer. St. Pierre says the information that canvassers will be handing out this year will

offer three steps to reducing the risk of heart disease: getting active, avoiding processed foods and cutting sugary drinks out of the diet. The healthy tips were compiled with the help of this year’s honourary chair Dr. Roberta Bondar, a scientist, neurologist and best known as the first Canadian female in space. “We go door to door and we help to raise money for heart research,” said St. Pierre. “But another piece of it is getting into people’s hands the information about the risk assessment tool. That’s huge for us.” After last year’s success

the local office has set a target goal of raising $312,000. Anyone interested in canvassing for a few days next month can still sign up by calling 613-384-2871. Routes are still available. Volunteers don’t have to go door to door either, as they can choose to canvass amongst family, friends, community groups or church. Heart and Stroke Month will be the start of a busy 2017 for the local office. In March they will also be hosting their Jump Rope for Heart events in local schools and the Big Bike event scheduled to take place in Napanee on June 10.

She reported that, overall, CBS is about 26,000 units behind in their regular supply. Barfoot says there are few factors contributing to that lower blood supply, one of which has been bad weather. Because of snowy roads, fewer donors tend to participate in donor clinics around the region, with some clinics being cancelled altogether. The second major factor has been a change in how often female donors can donate. Previously, women were allowed to donate blood every 56 days; however, with new studies suggesting that it takes longer for females to fully recover their ferritin stores from the blood-donation process, that waiting period has been extended to 84 days. “For the safety of females, we shouldn’t be taking blood as often,” said Barfoot. Because so many of the clinics’ regular donors are female, Barfoot says the change is “have a big effect on collections.”

Brad Snider, chair of the L&A Mutual Insurance board, donates blood on Friday. The company sponsored the clinic for the second straight year, and Snider reports that many L&A Mutual staff are regular blood donors.

Lace-making featured at next Museum Kids
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Saturday’s Museum Kids will have a Valentine’s theme as participants will have the opportunity to learn the lost art of making lace. Susi Reinink will lead the lace-making demonstration using the tried-and-true technique of tatting, which dates back to the 1700s. “It’s a very old craft of lace making,” said Reinink. “It’s quite time consuming. You make very dainty edging on doilies. It certainly fits in with the frilliness of Valentine’s Day.” Using her special skill, Reinink will no doubt impress the children and adults alike as she turns thread into knots. The technique can be used to make
collars, necklaces, earrings and decorative pieces. During the demonstration the younger audience will have the chance to work on their own crafts, using woven paper to make Valentine’s Day heart baskets. They’ll make for the perfect handmade gift. Those in attendance who want to learn more about tatting will have the opportunity to sign up for a more hands on workshop with Reinink. That class is still in the planning stages, but if there’s enough interest it could become a regular workshop at the museum. “It’s a very difficult thing to get your hands to do because it takes a certain motor skill,” said Reinink. “It takes a little practice before you get it down.” She’ll also be displaying some of her other creations
she’s made using the ancient technique. She says she’s always happy to demonstrate her skill because so few people know how to do it any more and it’s becoming a lost art. “Royalty used to do a lot of lace-making,” said Reinink. “You need a little shuttle (which is a small instrument about six centimetes by two inches). These days they are made of metal but they used to be made of silver.

Hot pink: Raiders continue to roll, move into second Napanee thumps Rebels 16-1 BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Not long ago the Napanee Raiders resembled the Titanic, quickly taking on water with their season on the verge of being sunk. Following a 16-1 win over the Campbellford Rebels on Tuesday they’re now looking more like the Bluenose, sailing into sole procession of second place by going unbeaten in their last six games. Sean Robertson had a hat trick while Tyler Ignazzitto, Zach KnappHermer, Austin Boulard and Riley Manion each had a pair in what was by far Napanee’s biggest goal output of the season. Matt Loveys was tested just 11 times by Rebel shooters and was just a minute away from the shutout before Jeremiah Doherty scored the meaningless goal. While Tuesday’s lopsided win came at the hands of the lowly Rebels, who dropped to 0-33-1, the Raiders worked much harder in a 6-1 road victory over the Picton Pirates Thursday night followed by a 3-1 victory over the top-ranked Port Hope Panthers at home on Friday. The Panthers’ loss was just their third on the year as they fell to 31-3-1 on the year. More recently the twotime defending league champions are 0-2-1 in their last three meetings with Napanee after going 16-0 in their previous match ups. Friday’s match was the third time in a week that the two clubs had squared off so perhaps it’s not too surprising it was a chippy
affair with a fight breaking out near the midway point of the middle frame. Port Hope’s Austin Veleke and Napanee’s Chris Rogalsky were ejected for fighting. Both sides continued to trade scoring chances with nothing to show for it deep into the second period until Robertson found the back of the net at 15:56. Riley Steeves added a huge goal in the final seconds of the period to take a 2-0 lead into the dressing room. On the second goal Port Hope goalie Sheldon Calbury fired the puck down the ice in frustration, which hit a linesman. He was promptly ejected with an abuse of an official misconduct. He joined head coach Matt Goody, who earned an abuse of the officials penalty at the close of the first period. Undisciplined play plagued the Panthers all game but it wasn’t until the midway point of the third period that the Raiders were finally able to take advantage as Knapp-Hermer buried a rebound power-play goal to push the lead to 3-0. That would be all the Raiders would need, though the Panthers did break the shutout with two minutes left in the game, spoiling Jeremy Wasson’s otherwise brilliant performance. He finished with 32 saves. Making the win just a tad sweeter was the fact that the Raiders did it wearing their pink-trimmed jerseys, which were auctioned off during the game with proceeds going to Lennox and Addington County General Hospital’s chemotherapy wing and assistant coach Scott Slack’s upcoming Sears Kids Cancer bike ride. “The event was more important than any win,” Raiders coach Mike
Hartwick said of the pinkin-the-rink game. “We’re just happy that we can contribute because we’ve all been affected by cancer one way or another. We’re just glad that we can help out in the community.” And while beating the Panthers is no small feat, the Raiders did squander plenty of opportunities to run up the score. They finished the night just 1-for-13 on the power-play. The Panthers had just one power-play chance, but were shutout. “It was nice to get the two points, it was a good character win,” said Hartwick. “But we’ve definitely got to work (on the power-play). We lost a lot of offensive zone draws and that kills 25 seconds every time. We didn’t sustain much pressure and didn’t move the puck quick. We were a little hesitant. It was nice to see us get (a powerplay goal) at the end. There’s always something to work on.” On the road Thursday they scored a critical 6-1 win over the Pirates, taking a 3-0 lead into the third and never looking back. Nic Case had a pair of goals while Robertson, Boulard, Curtis Marrison and Steeves all had one. Wasson earned the win, stopping 28 Pirate shots. With Tuesday’s win the Raiders have assured themselves nothing worse than a third place finish, with just the 19-16-1 Gananoque Islanders able to catch them. The Islanders are six points back of the 22-12-1 Raiders, with four games to play. The Raiders have five left on the schedule. The Pirates, now 20-17-1, currently sit third, but have no way to catch Napanee.

NDCC turns back the clock BY SANDY EASTLAKE On the Button
Thanks to Convenors Doug Pennell and Heather Ramshaw the Continental Cup last Sunday was a blast from the past with a lot of very colourful outfits depicting the blue and the yellow teams curling their best for the win. A full day of curling with morning goodies and a nice lunch along with a refreshment or two makes for a great way to pass a Sunday. This Continental Cup was played as on television, consisting of a regular curling game, skins game, mixed doubles and a stick curling game with winning team being decided from the final points of all combined. This year the Yellow team with captain Cindy Woodcock, Doug Pennell, Arnold VanHeighton, Mike Stockfish, Sheila Pennell, Ed Kurc, Steve Eastlake, Martha McCallum, Tom Ayling, Gary
Thompson, Deb Currier, Janie Ryan, Jordan VanVlack, Paul Hacksman, John Strang, Jodi Webber, Phil Berry, Jane Pearson, Cathy Howard and Nancy Wilkie came out on top. Better luck next year to the Blue team who won this event the last two years. Congratulations to Andy Palmer, Cathy Palmer, Robert Hough and Jane Hough on winning the A runner up prize at the Cataraqui Mixed Invitational Bonspiel and to Hugh Sharpe, Chris Coleman, Ron Menchetti and Rocco Liscio for their win at the Bill Dunk Memorial at the Brighton and District Curling Club. Not faring quite so well was the Brian Chadwick foursome with members Phil Berry, Jim Kennelly and Ken Booker. Thanks to instructors Ian Munro, Mark Dunham, Steve Eastlake and Chris McTaggart the new Novice
League left some 19 new curlers a bit stiff after their first lesson last Sunday. This league is for persons in the community who have never curled in a league before to get the opportunity to participate in the sport of curling. There will be lots of lessons, lots of fun and lots of camaraderie in the coming weeks. Up next is the club’s annual Ladies InClub Funspiel this Sunday which according to Moira Sickling has a full slate of curlers. NDCC’s Highland Lassie Bonspiel is set for Feb. 18. Heather Ramshaw (613-329-4313) is still accepting registrations. This open bonspiel is for members and non members alike with teams from home and away. The sign up sheet is on the ladies bulletin board. Jack McNamee 613-3547138 is also accepting registrations for the annual Town and Country Bonspiel set for Feb. 22.
RAIDERS | Pirates in town tomorrow CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20 The Pirates have just two games to play. The Pirates will play their penultimate game in Napanee tomorrow night when they visit the SPC for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. The Raiders could officially sew up second place with a victory. On Saturday Napanee travels to Amherstview to face the Jets, who are left to play out the string with no hope of a playoff berth.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. On Tuesday the Raiders wrap up a busy week with a 7:30 p.m. meeting with the Rebels at the SPC. That’ll leave the Raiders with just two games to play on the season, hosting the Islanders on Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m. and then closing out the regular season on Feb. 11 in Campbellford. Come playoff time their face either Picton or Gananoque in a best-of-seven semifinals with the fourth seed team facing the Panthers.
Before Friday’s game Ignazzitto was presented with the Provincial Junior Hockey League’s Rookie of the Year award. The 16year-old Bath native has 16 goals and 38 assists in 35 games played so far. Other award winners included league MVP Dalton Lawrence (Port Hope), Best Defenceman Cameron McGill (Port Hope) and a tie for Best Goalie shared between Calbury (Port Hope) and Aaron Young (Picton).

Tyler Ignazzitto is a member of the Napanee Raiders. The 16-year-old Bath native was recently named the PJHL’s rookie of the year with 16 goals and 22 assists in his debut campaign.

road game in Lindsay against the Muskies, earning a point in a draw. Caleb South, assisted by Duncan Clarke, and Ben Buxton, assisted by Zered Haller, started the scoring off early in the first period, leading the Stars to a quick 2-0 lead. The Muskies came back to tie the score in the first, and would go on to score two more goals for a commanding 4-2 lead going into the third. The resilience of the Stars would serve them well, with Caleb South, assisted by Nick Lamarche, scoring his second goal of the game early in the third. In the dying minutes of the third, Seth Rivers would score the tying goal, assisted by Nick Lamarche, securing an important 4-4 final. The Stars traveled to Wellington on Sunday, with a critical game at hand as the Muskies, PEC Kings and Stars were all tied with two points each in the series. The winner of Sunday’s game would be in an strong position for the remainder of the series. With Aiden Vallier defending the net, Zered Haller would open the scoring for the Stars in the first period. Dylan Kemp and Nick Lamarche would also score for the Stars and
the team would secure a 3-0 final score. The Stars will complete their round-robin play on this evening at the Strathcona Paper Centre at 6:30 p.m., when they host the PEC Kings. ■ The Napanee Peewee AE Stars made it past the PEC Kings and the Stirling Blues with a record of 4-1-0 in their round-robin preliminary playoff series which began Jan. 17, advancing them to play the Tweed Hawks, the winner of the second pool of teams from the regular season. On Jan. 17, the Stars travelled to Tweed for the first game in a series of best of five to advance to the OMHA quarter finals. The boys knew they were in tough with this team but all showed up to play even with a few players still feeling the effects of the cold and flu season. The game was fast paced and physical but the boys kept Tweed hemmed in the offensive end quite effectively. Coming back from a score of 3-1 to 3-3 by the third, the Stars worked tirelessly to earn that last point. Unfortunately Tweed beat the Stars earning a point in the last few minutes of the game with a passing play in front of the net making the score 4-3
for the Hawks. Game 2 brought the Hawks to Napanee. With energy and enthusiasm the Stars set out to battle the Hawks again. Cinnamon did well to help give the Stars the opportunity to win stealing a few points from the opposing team with stellar saves. In the end the Hawks beat the Stars with a 6-2 score. With team members still under the weather the Stars are looking forward to their next match up during the week with the Hawks back in Tweed with a healthier bench. ■ The Atom AE Stars finished off a sweep of the Ennismore Eagles, cruising to identical 12-0 wins in Games 2 and 3 this weekend. ■ The Peewee BB Stars pushed their series to the limit with a 3-2 win at home over the Stirling Blues on Saturday only to drop the decisive Game 5 the next day with a 3-2 loss. ■ The Bantam BB Stars were swept away by the PEC Kings, dropping Game 3 by a count of 5-1. ■ The reigning OMHA champion Midget BB Stars are through to the next round following their three game sweep of Stirling, closing out the series with a 5-0 victory on Friday.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Design Build for Amherst Island Ferry Dock Improvements Millhaven and Amherst Island, Loyalist Township DB 2015-4199 THE PROJECT Rankin Construction Inc. (RCI) and their design consultant Morrison Hershfield (MH) have recently been selected by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to undertake the Detail Design Study and construct the Amherst Island ferry dock improvements (see Key Plan). The recommended plan for the improvements was determined during a Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment Study completed and documented in a Transportation Environmental Study Report in January 2014. The project includes converting the existing side-loading ramps to end-loading in order to accommodate the Frontenac II and the future new Amherst Island ferry. This will allow for easier access to and from the island, improve the overall efficiency of ferry operations and to better accommodate the increasing number of large commercial trucks and farm equipment. The ferry service improvements will include: end-loading ramps; a larger paved parking area to accommodate more vehicles; sidewalks; an upgraded bubbler system for winter ice control; and new terminal buildings with public restrooms, bike racks, and staff offices. THE PROCESS The study will follow the approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ project in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) with the opportunity for public input throughout the study. The design phase has recently started and should conclude in mid-2017. The construction phase should start in late summer 2017 and be completed in the summer of 2020. Although there could be some temporary disturbances to local traffic and operations, ferry service will not be impacted by the project. A round of Public Information Centres (PIC) will be held both in Millhaven and on Amherst Island. The PIC is tentatively scheduled for the spring of 2017. The date and location of the PIC has yet to be determined. A Design and Construction Report (DCR) will be prepared and made available for a 30-day public review period. Advance notice of the PIC and DCR review period will be placed in this publication and mailed to individuals and organizations on the project’s stakeholder mailing list, once details become known. Study information will also be posted on the project website www.amherstislandferrydocks.ca. Help us share updates: Follow us on Twitter @A_I_ferrydocks COMMENTS We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns that you may have with the study.

Romantic laughs in store with The Love List
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Romance and comedy will be in the air at the Selby Community Theatre this month as the hit play The Love List takes the stage. Written by Canada’s Norm Foster, the play makes for the perfect night out for lovebirds looking for a laugh, though the humour is best suited for older audiences. Foster, who was named an Officer in The Order of Canada late last year, is considered to be one of Canada’s most produced playwrights. “There are these two guys and they’re best friends,” Selby Theatre director Rachel King says of The Love List. “The one has just turned 50 years old and reached that point in his life where you should be settled down and you should have a family, but he doesn’t. He’s
single. So his friend goes out and buys him this ‘love list.’” The list requires a person searching for love to write down the top 10 qualities they’d most desire in a mate. What they don’t realize is this is a magic list, which causes the ‘perfect woman’ with all 10 of those qualities to suddenly appear. “As they soon find out, the list could use a few revisions,” said King. “And perfection isn’t something that exists.” As the mysterious woman appears in their life, they are left scrambling trying to adapt as hilarity ensues. “It is a comedy but it also has a really great message behind it, as a lot of Norm Foster players tend to do,” added King. Making up the cast is Michael Wihse Green, who plays Leon, David Betts who plays John, the bachelor and
Shari Maracle, who plays the perfect woman who magically appears. All three are veterans of the Selby theatre. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Maracle. “The character changes every time the list changes so it’s a really fun part.” “Be careful what you wish for,” Maracle adds as the main message of the play. “It’s a good comedy,” said Betts. “It’s really interesting the way the whole thing sort of falls down the road at the end of it and the way the characters interact. There are some really good laughs.” The show will run Feb. 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25 at 8 p.m. with matinees on Feb. 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets, which are $15 or $12 for seniors at the matinee, are available at Gray’s IDA, located at 18 Dundas St. W in Napanee
