NDSS deals with ‘serious’ photo sharing incident School board offers counselling to those affected BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

number of students have been suspended from Napanee District Secondary School after inappropriate digital images were shared. “It is the (Limestone District School) Board’s understanding that these images were not taken at the school, however, due to the serious nature of the allegations, and a subsequent school investigation, multiple suspensions have been issued,” a press release distributed by Karen Smith, communications officer for the LDSB, stated. Krishna Burra, supervisor of safe and caring schools for the LDSB, said fewer than 15 students have been suspended; however, admitted it would be hard to measure how many students have been affected. “It’s not just the students that are directly involved, it could be the friends of the students that were directly involved or a student who may have had some other similar type of experience of that sort and this is bringing back a lot of feelings for them,” said Burra. “What some people don’t realize is that what images they send out there, when you hit send it is now out of your control and somebody else can

very easily pass it along or post it somewhere else. Obviously that has implications for people for potential job applications, or university/college admissions, which is obviously very serious but it’s also very serious from a safety perspective in the sense that it could potentially be exposing someone to risk in terms of somebody else trying to use the image against them without permission,” he further explained. “Our youth live in a culture that has changed the concept of privacy - where anything and everything they share online is broadcast to the world in mere seconds,” the press release stated. The issue was brought to NDSS staff attention about two weeks ago, explained Burra. Once staff realized how serious the issue was, the police were contacted and an investigation began, which is ongoing. Burra said the issue is not unique to NDSS or this community. The sharing of personal information and images is a problem among teens worldwide. “We were very saddened to hear the information but I also want to emphasize that this is not a situation that is unique to NDSS or that is unique to Napanee. This is a much wider issue in terms of the way young people are using social media and texting and other forms of technology in terms of sharing information,” said Burra.

The Board is taking this incident seriously, and is working with the school to best support everyone involved, particularly those students and families directly affected.

and how their needs change, potentially, over the next little while. But certainly we want to make sure that we’re providing support to the students,” said Burra. He elaborated on this topic, stating the LDSB had been educating its students on such topics for the past 12-18 months and plans to do more in the future. “We have been focusing on the issue of digital citizenship, which essentially is looking at proper etiquette for interacting online but also cyber safety precautions that people need to take,” he said. “One of the primary concerns, and why we’ve been focusing on this, is that there certainly is a generational gap between in how people use their technology. Parents, what they use technology for, is quite different than what some of the young people are using the technology for,” said Burra. NDSS principal Erin Pincivero shared a message with school students last Thursday regarding the incident. A phone message was also distributed to parents and guardians. Jacky Perry, media relations officer for the Napanee OPP detachment, was unable to provide specific information regarding the issue because the investigation is ongoing.

Greater Napanee council voices concern of rising hydro rates Town supports energy petition BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Greater Napanee council moved to endorse the County of Lennox and Addington council’s resolution to petition the Minister of Energy to improve electricity rates. The motion states: “To improve industrial electricity rate mitigation programs for Eastern Ontario manufacturers as a critical measurer to sustain jobs and support economic productivity,” and was passed at a council meeting on Tuesday. Though Greater Napanee councillors supported the motion, some councillors wanted to express concerns with electricity rates in other aspects aside from industrial. “I would also like to express a concern at the business level, commercial. Commercial businesses, as a rule, can’t benefit from the shifting of rates from evening to days or whatever,” explained Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas. “I certainly empathize with the industrial sector

but I just want to recognize that the commercial world, in Ontario, has a hardship as well. I’ll endorse this letter but in the future if we can deal with the business issues that would be good because they pay a flat rate just like everyone else. Industry does have the advantage of shifting their work schedules to evenings,” added Lucas. Deputy Mayor Roger Cole said his biggest concern was residential cost. “From the other side of the fence, I’m not in industry or commercial but I am a homeowner. And I can tell you right now that the rates are going through the roof. I don’t know where they’re going to stop. Folks on fixed incomes and lowincome families, I just feel that something has to be done to put the brakes on what’s going on in the hydro industry,” said Cole. He said he would support the letter and hope that both Greater Napanee and Lennox and Addington County councils can convince Minister of Energy Hon. Bob Chiarelli to take a closer look at hydro costs in Ontario. “I know at the County level we’re hoping this will make them have a look at it but I’m not optimistic though, having seen what’s gone on until this point. But hopefully this will have some impact and I certainly support it,” said Cole. Ward 1 Councillor Mike Schenk said from the agricultural point of view, hydro costs are running farmers out of the area and out of jobs. “I know friends who are large farmers in the County, very close to us, he had about 18-22 employees. With the hydro rates and

everything else, the cost of feed, he’s moved his business to the States where it’s cheaper. He was paying equalized billing that was over $50,000. So he went ahead and moved because it’s so much cheaper. He’s down to two employees now. I can’t blame him,” said Schenk. He said he also knows of farmers that have moved to Brazil. The issue of increasing hydro rates is hurting farmers across the province and across Canada. “On the news today (Tuesday), they said between 1994 and 2011 we lost 74,000 farmers in Canada and (only) one in four were owners under 40. Now the ages are almost senior citizens. It hurts everybody,” said Schenk. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn said the motion is a first step in working toward lower rates. “We do know that the manufacturing jobs haven’t increased in the province of Ontario and especially Eastern Ontario. So we wanted to make them aware of the hydro rates. I sometimes wonder if the MPPs realize that the hydro rates are drawing jobs, whether it be commercial, farming, industrial, all of them, away from the province. So we wanted to try to stir them up to think about that. We don’t know if it will or not but we certainly thought we should voice our concerns,” said Schermerhorn. A letter was sent to the minister of energy on behalf of the County on Feb. 7. Premier Kathleen Wynne and MPP Randy Hillier were cc’d on the letter. Greater Napanee Council endorsed the letter on Tuesday.

NDSS students buck neknominate drinking game trend Urge fellow teens to do the same

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

hen Napanee and District Secondary School students Josh Thompson, Jacob Thompson and Jordyn Sexsmith were challenged with the latest internet fad drinking game, they didn’t simply give in to peer pressure. Rather than accept their ‘neknomination’ to drink beer in a potentially dangerous way, they decided to do something worthwhile. Armed with over 100 carnation flowers, they stopped by the John M. Parrott Centre last Friday to brighten the Valentine’s Day of all the residents. “We just thought the drinking part was getting a little out of hand,” said Sexsmith. “We had seen ones where people were doing something nice for others and we figured with Valentine’s Day a lot of people in here have lost loved ones and are pretty lonely.” Though its origins are debated, Neknominating has swept the internet community, challenging people to film themselves drinking large quantities of beer in one gulp. The

Anyone who completes the challenge is then to ‘nominate’ two or three others to do the same. It has since evolved to even more dangerous levels, asking participants to perform stunts while drinking alcohol. Those that don’t accept the challenge are often subject to ridicule. There have been reports of some teenagers dying while trying to complete the challenge. In recent weeks howev-

er more young people have been counteracting the drinking game, performing random acts of kindness. “We’re hoping it will make an impact on other people and they’ll do the same,” said Josh Thompson, who is Jacob’s older brother. By saying no to peer pressure they’re hoping other students will have the courage to do the same. “It feels really good,” Sexsmith said of handing out flowers to the residents. “One man said he

had never gotten a Valentine before, that was pretty touching.” “Seeing their smiles, it feels good to do it,” added the older Thompson. The students were able to provide enough flowers for all the residents courtesy of Flowers by Barbara, who offered them a deal on the pricing. That allowed the students to go door to door of the residents and visit some who don’t typically get visitors very often. Their surprise was met with huge smiles and laughter from the residents. “We want to nominate Napanee high school to do other good things,” added Sexsmith. “I don’t think you really need a reason to do something nice, you should just go ahead and do something.”

EDITORIAL

Skepticism reigns survey conducted by the group Samara, the results of which were released this week, suggested that (at least in the eye of a majority of voters surveyed) political parties weren’t doing a very good job of serving the public interest. In fact, most of the survey participants said that political parties were more concerned about protecting and advancing their own interests than actually listening to the public. The findings are troubling, but not particularly surprising. One need only look at the dismal voter turnout of the last several federal and provincial elections to see that more and more people are turning a blind eye to the political scene. If Samara’s survey is to be believed, that might be because parties are turning off voters rather than drawing them into the political process. According to a report in The Toronto Star, two-thirds of respondents to the survey said that they strongly agreed with the following statement: “Candidates and political parties are interested only in people’s votes, not their opinions.” Ouch. At best, that means that candidates and political parties have to some work to do to correct this misconception; at worst, well, the statement’s correct. The thrust of the findings of the Samara survey was that ordinary citizens aren’t taking an interest in the political process because they feel political parties aren’t listening to them, and that they “must be interested only in themselves.” We don’t have to search very hard to find examples of ‘party first’ behaviour. The most glaring example, of course, was the provincial Liberals’ decision to cancel controversial gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga in the middle of the last provincial election. That decision, which was intended to save two incumbent Liberals from being tossed out on their ears, cost the Province of Ontario about $1 billion. Double ouch. We see the same ‘party-first’ approach at the federal level. Only last week, the govering Conservatives released their 2014 federal budget. It was a ‘ho hum’ budget, except for the fact that they’d essentially eliminated the deficit. That’s great news. But, they didn’t want to make it official until next year — an election year. And, of course, it’s a virtual certainty that the next budget will be a showstopper, with various and sundry vote-getting measures to benefit the Conservative Party. How many of those measures could be of benefit today, and not a year from now? Of course, the political opponents of either the provincial Liberals or the federal Conservatives are quick to point out these faults. But would they govern any differently if given the chance? Maybe they would, but as the Samara study shows, people are more than a little skeptical. Our politicians should take note.

A few perks in federal budget Canada’s 2014 Economic Action Plan has been released, and it’s a tame budget where agriculture is concerned. Analysis by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture have found references to our sector are modest at best — but the budget still contains some meaningful items for Canadian farmers. For example, the government’s plan to extend and enhance access to high-speed broadband networks is good news for farm families. Many farms are located in the ‘last mile’ of rural countryside where broadband is still unavailable. Improved access to internet for

Mark Wales OFA Comment farmers in remote locations is essential to be competitive in the marketplace. The government’s $390 million investment in food safety is good news for Canadian agri-food partners and consumers too. In Ontario alone, nearly $20 billion worth of food is imported each year from international markets. Adding 200 more inspectors and enhancing programs that target high-risk foods will give inspectors more resources to ensure

imported foods are meeting the stringent food safety standards that are already in place for food that’s grown by Canadian farmers. The government’s promise to develop a ‘Made in Canada’ consumer awareness campaign is a win for Canadian agriculture. Promoting Canadian agricultural products, at home and abroad, will be a boost for farmers. Both the CFA and OFA have been asking for the promotion of Canadian products through the National Food Strategy and we look forward to the development of a Canadian branded campaign.

OFA FROM PAGE 6 The OFA and CFA were disappointed to see some key requests made during the pre-budget consultation period left out of the tabled federal budget. The OFA and CFA both requested key revisions that would reduce red tape and increase flexibility for farmers involved in situations such as the division of sibling-owned farm corporations or intergenerational farm transfers. Eliminating red tape in these areas is key to encouraging the next generation of farm families to stay in business. The OFA and CFA together will continue to push Canada’s federal government to create a more accessible business environment for these farm businesses. The federal government also continues to disappoint Ontario farmers by its refusal to engage in Ontario’s Risk Management Program. Farmers in Ontario rely on the program as price insurance, and the federal government’s participation is key to the program’s success. We expect the number of Ontario farmers drawing on the program in 2014 to be significant. The OFA is keen to work with Ontario Premier and agriculture minister Kathleen Wynne to address her recent challenge to double our sector’s annual growth rate and create 120,000 jobs by the year 2020. We have been clear with the provincial government about the tools Ontario agri-food requires to help us achieve those targets. As Canada’s largest voluntary farm organization representing more than 37,000 farm family businesses across Ontario, we will continue to work through CFA to push our federal government for meaningful policies and investments that will enable prosperous and sustainable farms for Ontario, and Canada. Mark Wales is the president of the OFA.

Letter to the Editor

Citizens come through This past Tuesday afternoon, I went home for a lunch break but became stuck at the bottom of my driveway (which was filled in with huge drifts from the blowing snow). I was operating a marked OPP vehicle and was a tad bit embarrassed, but thankful, when the occupants from three different vehicles came to my assistance. I didn’t get anyone’s name, but I wanted to let the woman in the maroon car with the teenage girls, the man who dug me out, and the man in the large four-by-four work truck know how much I truly appreciated them stopping and helping me. You guys made my day. Thank you so much! Jackie Perry, Greater Napanee

This essay is timely, given that our national obsession is at its height during the Winter Olympics. The origin of hockey is a question fans of the sport have been asking for ages without ever obtaining an answer that qualifies as a universally-accepted fact. That doesn’t mean that there haven’t been attempts at solving the mystery, but these attempts have been unfulfilling for the historians of the game. Since the floor is open, allow me to make the case for Canada as a whole. Canada’s passion for the game of hockey is unmatched the world over. It’s undeniable that Canadians love the game and no other country comes close to our understanding of the game. Ken Dryden and Roy MacGregor put it best: “Somewhere in our souls is a spiritual Canada. Most probably, its bedrock is of snow and ice, winter and the land. And if we were to penetrate it a little deeper, chances are we would find a game” (Home Game, 1994). The landscape of Canada lends itself to the game and its development. The cold and ice connotes loneliness, dismal isolation, descriptions of barren tundra and endless scenery.

The need to keep warm was constant in the early days of Canada’s infancy and remains so today. All of the work to prepare for the winter season was done throughout the warmer months. Harvesting and foraging relentlessly, the early settlers knew they had no choice but to make arrangements for the unforgiving winter. The desolation of the cold was compounded by the lack of activity and the anticipation of spring. They needed something to keep them occupied, to give them hope, warm their bodies and brighten their spirits. This sounds like the making of the game that we have become so attached to and inseparably so. I can only imagine the joy the game brought to the pilgrims of that time in our history. The exact location of the first game is still up for discussion. There are four Canadian sites that claim the prestigious honour of hosting the first game of hockey, but an agreement on that place is yet to be decided. Windsor, Halifax, Montreal and Kingston all contend that the right is theirs, but I believe they are all missing the point. The fact is they are all Canadian. From boys to men, girls to women, native to immigrant, everyone in this collective is Canadian and all love and play the game in all of its forms. The game connects us all to

each other and helps us forget about our differences. Canadians have many things to be proud of, yet hockey is the one thing that helps us to truly identify with one another. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you believe, where your political alliances lie or your family’s ancestry; if you play, watch or discuss hockey you are accepted. This indiscriminate behaviour towards fellow Canadians is something unique and treasurable. Conduct of this nature could only take place in a land that claims ownership of the game. Furthermore, to the point discussed previously, Canada doesn’t just state title to the game, but this country’s commitment to the game is unwavering and constant and we view ourselves as the keepers of the game. We use hockey to foster the dreams of our young, to give them something to hope for, something to relish in, an ideal to protect. We place a level of importance on the game that other countries can’t compete with. We very meticulously mold and shape the game to reflect our standards, and then conversely, we dissect the game, and not necessarily always to reflect on the state of hockey, but ultimately to learn about ourselves. Our understanding of the game teaches us about where we are as a nation. It could be suggest-

ed that when the game is in good shape, Canada is in good shape, as evidenced by the immediate, and subsequent prolonged sense of pride in our Olympic teams winning gold on the world stage and even more significant, on our home soil. Canada’s celebration that day wasn’t that it happened in a specific Canadian city, but any Canadian city. Our vibrant elation was experienced from coast to coast. The occasion was the culmination of the complete and concerted efforts of all members of this land, past and present, in the production of the greatest possible outcome in a chapter of the story of hockey. There may not be a better quote to sum up my argument about the origin of the game than that of Fred Shero when he said, “We know that hockey is where we live, where we can best meet and overcome pain and wrong and death. Life is just a place where we spend time between games” (Bleacherreport, 2012). Shero’s quote is simple; hockey is life and this is the way Canadians live. Hockey’s origin, in the physical sense, does hold considerable significance to historians, as placing a name and a face could provide some clarification on the issue and may be a more tangible form of evidence as to the sacred location. In my estimation, the spirit of the game, the development of the game and the people that love it offer a much more consistent and realistic affirmation of the game of hockey and no one group of people better exemplifies this ideal than Canadians. Dan Dowling

Communication: the lost skill Now that we are being held hostage by both Hydro One, and the propane companies, in one of the worst winters in some time, perhaps now is a good time to consider wearing that sweater that Premier Kathleen Wynne has been staunchly advocating. I think the majority of us have been doing just that for many decades as we struggle with increasing costs for the necessities in life. Sweaters are certainly not a new concept in winter. It’s hard to imagine anyone in power thinking otherwise. If there is a shortage of propane, perhaps one day someone will explain to us how doubling the cost of a necessity improves the availability of that product. I keep trying to figure that out, and I keep coming up with the word “extortion”. Can I double the price of my nature presentations when there is a shortage of requests? Local propane suppliers are not to be faulted as they have to set a price in accordance to what it costs them to obtain the product from their suppliers. Yet, they are the ones taking the brunt of the abuse from propane users. However, having said that, it would behoove local propane suppliers if they would do more, through the media, to keep their customers apprised of the cur-

rent situation. What a feather in their cap that would be – propane suppliers actually communicating with the very people who keep them in business. Customer relations would be enhanced; customers would be reassured and would now look at the current situation as actually working together to get through this. To date, not one local propane supplier has done this, perhaps occasionally communicating with a customer on a one on one basis, but not to their customer base via the media. We seem to be living in an era where communication and customer service are quickly becoming obsolete terms. All too often, customers are treated royally during point of sale, and then all but ignored once out the door. Many years ago, I bought a car from a major car dealership where I dealt with no fewer than five separate staff members, from the person who was trolling the car lot to the one who explained which button did what on the car. A week later, I was a forgotten person. Since 1984, I have bought my cars from just one person, first in Madoc, and then I followed him when he moved to a dealership north of Stirling. I start with him, I finish with him, we exchange pleasantries when we meet on the street, and he

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles seems to have an uncanny ability to sense when I am about ready to upgrade, and knows what I want. That is customer service. And that is what guarantees repeat business. It was also in the 1980s that I began to fully appreciate the meaning of customer service and communication. I began working at Sandbanks in what was then known as Visitor Services. Once a year, we were trained in how to communicate with the public and provide a good service to our customers. We learned how to smile, even after being asked thousands of times where to find the sand dunes, the nearest washroom and how to obtain a campsite. We would process between 8-10,000

queries about the Park in a typical season from just this one building. Now, with Sandbanks enjoying over a half million visitors every year, doubtless the number of queries has risen substantially. But, we valued the Park visitors because we appreciated their interest in the park and eagerly provided the information they required. It wasn’t a job where the customer was just a commodity. We were one big family, and returning campers would remember us and we would always remember them. It was all about communication, listening to problems and trying to solve them, together. How terrible, collectively, our communication skills have become where our ears are assaulted daily with words like rem-an-nants (for remnants), snuck, irregardless instead of regardless, and my personal favourite and one that is heard constantly in news reports, “Alltimers” instead of Alzheimer’s. They was, I seen and “less” when it should be “fewer”. This is deplorable grammar , used by newscasters, who should know better. It’s simply a case of no communication skills and a lack of even caring, as long as we get the message out in some quasi recognizable form. Bottom line. We just don’t

care anymore in giving much thought to communicating well, or in communicating at all. It’s no longer about understanding the implications behind every little thing we do or say, and acting in accordance to that knowledge. And the saddest part of it all is the fact that most of us don’t even notice, and those who do hardly even care. Only those of us who were brought up in a world of politeness and respect and good grammar really understand, or care. This couldn’t be more apparent than in our present age of extortion where heating costs, gasoline prices and hydro prices continue to escalate with no apology and with no accounting. Just pay it, don’t ask questions, and if seniors and small children end up suffering – too bad, so sad – we really don’t care. Communication and customer relations. Cherish these terms as they will soon join other obsolete terms, like please and thank you. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613476-5072.

L&A County

John Forin’s tender of $33,146 for the construction of the Lennox and Addington County court house and jail was accepted by county council in March 1864.

150 years and counting for Lennox and Addington Looking back on a century-and-a-half of municipal service Special to the Beaver

Editor’s Note: This is the first of an ongoing series provided by L&A County to mark the municipality’s 150th anniversary. S one breaks over the crest of Roblin’s Hill when approaching the Town of Greater Napanee along County Road 2 from the east, the stately County Court House with its crowning cupola rises proudly above the horizon. This impressive and important building, constructed in 1864 on a site at the head of Adelphi Street, has been the seat of government for Lennox and Addington since the county was incorporated as an independent municipality. By 1863 the County of Lennox and Addington had finally met the population and stringent legislative requirements to petition the Governor-In-Council for separation from Frontenac County with whom they had been united since 1841. A provisional council comprised of the reeves and deputy reeves of Lennox and Addington’s local municipalities began meeting in September 1863 at Napanee to fulfill the conditions for the small new county with solid ambitions. Over the ensuing 12 months of transition the provisional council met regularly to settle such matters as the appointment of a clerk and treasurer; the creation of a seal for the municipal corporation; the issuing of debentures; the sale of toll gates on macadamized roads and the acceptance of John Forin’s tender of $33,146 for the construction of the court house and jail on land donated by M.P.P. Richard Cartwright. By proclamation on Sept. 30, 1864, all conditions had been met, including payment of $61,500 to

Frontenac County as settlement for the dissolution of the united counties. Lennox and Addington was now able to begin operating as an independent municipality. In January 1865, county council elected John Stevenson, reeve of the Town of Napanee and former warden of the provisional council, as Lennox and Addington’s first warden. Every year since a warden has been elected by county councillors from amongst their members. A total of 137 men and one woman, Lorraine Berger in 1993, have served as Lennox and Addington County warden over the past 150 years. Eight of the men including current warden Gord Schermerhorn have served multiple one-year terms. A succession of township reeves and deputy reeves, under the leadership of the county warden have guided the progress of the county since its formative years. Until 1998, the system of municipal government remained largely unchanged, although directly elected county commissioners replaced the reeves and deputy reeves for a ten-year period from 1896-1906. Then in 1998, provincial government directives transformed the county’s service responsibilities and reduced the county’s 13 local municipalities to

four: Loyalist, Greater Napanee, Stone Mills and Addington Highlands. County council in turn was reduced from 24 councillors to eight. A review of the minutes of county council meetings since 1864 provides insight into the diverse challenges that have confronted Lennox and Addington’s municipal leaders as they endeavoured to serve their fellow citizens. Some topics such as fiscal stewardship, roads and bridges, as well as public health and wellbeing transcend all 150 years. Today Lennox and Addington provides a broad range of services for its residents, many within a highly regulated framework determined by the provincial government. One-hundred-and-fifty years of leadership in one place is a remarkable achievement. Not least among the initiatives of the last century was a major renovation of the county court house in 1993, ensuring its functionality for the millennium. The county court house renovation was a tribute to the county’s founding fathers who strove to take charge of their own lives and maintain order and control by forming an independent county. 2014 marks Lennox and Addington’s sesquicentennial and provides an occasion to highlight and commemorate the history of our county. The county will celebrate its 150th anniversary on Aug. 23 with gala events on the court house grounds and the official reopening of the expanded L&A Museum and Archives. County council’s commitment to complete this $5 million capital project in recognition of Lennox and Addington’s sesquicentennial will ensure that the heritage of our county community will be preserved for the benefit of future generations.

Staff Reporter

Juno award winner Sue Foley and American singer songwriter Peter Karp will be performing in Tamworth this Saturday as part of the TamworthErinsville Community Development Committee 2014 Concert Series. The duo has been performing together for almost five years both in Canada and the United States. Foley’s success as a solo blues artist, combined with Karp’s songwriting skills and American connections, has allowed the duo to tour both countries with success. “We’ll be touring up in Canada for about a week. We tour Canada pretty regularly because Sue is from Ottawa and I’m from the US (so) we’re kind of a conglomeration of Canadian and American music. So we play both countries pretty regularly,” said Karp. “Before we got together we had solo careers. I’ve never worked with anyone else before, really, and neither has Sue (Foley). Sue has a pretty solid career in Canada and the States and I’ve got a pretty solid career in the States more than in Canada.” Karp and Foley said their performance in Tamworth should be a “highenergy” show that will get people up dancing. “The album we’re touring is called Beyond the Crossroads.

Deseronto council ponies up for new ice resurfacer BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

fter outliving its life expectance by double, a new $100,000 ice resurfacer has been purchased by the Town of Deseronto for the Deseronto Community Recreation Centre. The machine was purchased with funds from the 2013 budget, explained Dana Valentyne, community development coordinator for the Town of Deseronto. The old ice resurfacer had serviced the arena for two decades and finally got to the point where repairing it was not the most financially sound solution. “They only have about 10-year life expectancy but

we got 20 years out of ours. We definitely got the best use out of the piece of equipment and had used it for as long as we possibly could. It’s just gotten to the point where ongoing maintenance was just astronomical, so it wasn’t feasible to continue repairing it and keep it limping along,” explained Valentyne. Valentyne stated that the parks and recreation department has worked diligently to prolong the life of the ice resurfacer; however, several larger mechanical issues have arisen during the past few years and repairing the machine is no longer a cost effective option for the council. The new Olympia is equipped with the latest

technology and is expected to result in greater efficiencies and ice quality improvements. The new ice resurfacer was brought to the Deseronto arena on Feb. 4 and has already been put to use. The new machine has a life expectancy of 10 years. “A new ice resurfacer has been at the top of the parks and recreation department’s wish list for some time. Council recognized the importance of this equipment to the long term success of the community centre and approved the purchase of a new resurfacer as a result,” said Andy Conger, parks and recreation department supervisor for the Town of Deseronto.

epresentations of Lennox and Addington’s book ended wardens gathered in the county’s court house foyer last Wednesday to officially launch L&A’s year long 150th anniversary celebrations. In the flesh was present day warden Gord Schermerhorn, overlooked by a seated cut out of John Stevenson, who became the county’s first elected warden in 1865. His photo is part of a new display that was unveiled Wednesday that is complete with the original council minutes book, furniture from the first council chamber, current Chain of Office and a cane that belonged to warden Charles Walker, who was received the engraved cane on behalf of the 1935 members of council. A digital display is also included, which highlight’s the county’s early years, played on a continuous loop. “2014 marks Lennox and Addington’s sesquicentennial and provides an occasion to highlight and commemorate the history of our county,” said Schermerhorn. Celebrations will reach their fever pitch on Aug. 23 when the county officially re-opens its fully renovated Museum and Archives.

“County council’s commitment to complete this $5 million capital project in recognition of this milestone anniversary will ensure the heritage of our county community will be preserved for the benefit of future generations,” added Schermerhorn. During the unveiling Schermerhorn touched on some of the history of the county, which was once part of Frontenac County. “By 1863 the County of Lennox and Addington had finally met the population legislative requirements to petition the Governor in Council for separation from Frontenac County, with who Lennox and Addington had been united since 1841,” said Schermerhorn. The county got their wish in September of 1864 when after payment of $61,500 to Frontenac, L&A County became its own entity. Among the first acts of the Provisional Council was to accept the tender of the very court house last week’s presentation was held. Using land donated by MPP Richard Cartwright, the tender was awarded to John Forin at a cost of $33,146. It has since undergone a major renovation back in 1993. When it came time to select its first warden the members elected Stevenson in January of 1865. “He was the driving

force behind the separation from the County of Frontenac,” Stephen Paul, L&A’s manager of economic development, said of Stevenson. Fittingly his cut out is currently seated on the very chair he likely used during his term. “If you go back to the minute book you see that the decisions are made, beginning with furniture,” said Paul. “In August of 1865 there was a motion that was passed that in view of the court house being nearly completed the committee on property be authorized to procure furniture to fit out the council and court house rooms in a becoming manner.” Pieces from that furniture, including a desk signed by several members of the county council dating back to the 1800s, are part of the court house’s display. Since Stevenson’s reign the county has seen 137 men and one woman assume the role of warden. Schermerhorn is one of eight who have served multiple terms. The county’s unveiling coincided perfectly with Ontario’s Heritage Week, which began on Monday and runs through Sunday. The county plans to hold several events throughout this year as they lead up to their Aug. 23 unveiling of the revamped museum.

Tess owns her own advertising company along with her husband, her cousin Felicity, and a young son. Rachel is an older woman who mourns the death of her daughter whose murder was never solved, but takes comfort in her young grandson Jacob.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;While searching in the attic one afternoon for information for one of her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school projects, Claudia finds a yellowed envelope with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;For my wife - to be opened only in the event of my deathâ&#x20AC;? written on the front. What is she to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she wants to open the envelope but her husband is not dead. Why would he write such a letter? What secret is he keeping? At the same time Tess is finding out that her husband has fallen in love with cousin Felicity and wants a divorce. Tess flees to her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house with her son Liam. Her mother, as it so happens, lives in the same town as Claudia and Rachel.â&#x20AC;?

He rushes home from his business conference and tries to pretend the letter doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter and it should be torn up. But when Claudia hears Jean-Paul in the attic in the middle of the night searching for the letter she reads it. That is when the lives of the three women start coming together.â&#x20AC;?

Mortgage Agent Martel Mortgages FSCO #11963 (W) 1-855-320-2464 Ext #112 (C) 613-449-0680 www.martelmortgages.ca/ralphmckenny

A couple weeks ago I talked about the benefits of using the services of a Mortgage Agent and this week, let's talk about Lenders. Who are they? Aren’t they all the same? Will a Lender help in Times of Need? Who are they? In Ontario we have access to various types of Lenders who lend money for the purpose of purchasing and refinancing real estate. All Lenders in Ontario are regulated and must be licensed by Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) which is the Federal regulator. Examples of Lenders are: - Banks - Loan and Trust companies - Credit Unions and Caisses Populaires - Finance companies and other corporations - Personal Lenders – individuals who want to invest in mortgages As a Mortgage Agent, it is my job to bring borrowers and lenders together and I can use any of the Lender types above to do so. It is my responsibility and

obligation (and passion) to ensure I understand my Client’s mortgage needs. Furthermore, I must know and understand the many Lenders, mortgage products and features in order to support those needs. Martel Mortgages has access to 30 or 40 Lenders hence why we are able to put together a mortgage deal that is tailored to the buyer and their individual circumstances. Aren’t They All the Same? No, they are not all the same! On the surface they lend money to purchase and refinance property and expect repayment with interest. Lending institutions and what they offer does vary-- sometimes considerably. This is great news because regardless of one’s situation or circumstances I can likely find a Lender with products and features personalized just for you. Finding a good rate is easy! Finding the right mortgage is the challenge. As you can imagine, there are any combination of circumstances and mortgage needs. Such as: - One income, two incomes - First Time home buyers. Mortgage Renewals. Closing in 30 days - Moving. Renovating. Looking to buy a Rental Property - Property has acreage. Agricultural financing. - Municipal. Well/Septic - Buyers of residential, rental, commercial properties, 2nd home or cottage - 1st, 2nd and 3rd position mortgages - Great credit. Bruised credit or no credit - Small, medium or large down payment - Income qualification or debt ratios - Hourly, salary, maternity leave, retired, self-employed

Additionally, there are mortgage programs for doing renovations, quick closings, new Canadians. There are fixed, variable, open, closed rates and terms. Short and long amortization periods. Prepayment, portable and transfer features. Regardless of your status, situation or needs, there is support available to assist in finding the Lender best for you. Will a Lender Help in Times of Need? We all hope for ourselves and family and friends that we’ll never experience job loss, serious illness, sudden death, or split relationships. But it does happen and it doesn’t always happen to someone else. If you have an interruption to your income, you will likely find your Lender more than willing to work with you to find a solution. In fact, if a Mortgage Agent helped you arrange your mortgage, call that person before you get into serious arrears and they will assist you in putting a plan together. You don’t have to go it alone. In summary, the Lender is your part of your mortgage team. Don’t just go with the flow. Seek out some alternative lenders. Know you have many mortgage options that can suit your needs, save you money and provide peace of mind. My contact information is included with this article so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or require assistance. For more information on regulation of Lenders visit www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca Compliments of Ralph McKenny, a local Mortgage Agent with Martel Mortgages FSCO License 11963.

Whether your dream home is a Victorian character home in the city, a sleek condo with 360-degree views, or a sprawling rancher in the suburbs, figuring out how much house you can afford is critical before making any decisions. “A helpful place to start is by figuring out your Gross Debt Service (GDS) Ratio,” recommends Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. Gross Debt Service Ratio is a calculation of the total maximum housing payment that you can afford, including your mortgage, property taxes, heating and cooling costs, and condo fees. Here are the steps to figuring out your GDS Ratio: • Add up your gross monthly income and multiply by 32 per cent. This figure is the maximum monthly housing payment that you can afford. It should never exceed 32 per cent of your gross monthly income.

• You must also factor in one-time costs and insurance. These include a home inspection, lawyer fees, Realtor fees, moving expenses and HST on new houses. • Be sure to consider the size of your down payment, your interest rate and the number of years on your mortgage. For help figuring out what you can realistically afford to pay for a home, enlist the services of a Realtor. Your Realtor will help you understand property financing, taxes, insurance and the steps you will have to take as a buyer to complete a real estate transaction. You can also contact the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) at 1-800-563-HOME for free guides on home buying and selling.

Late season charge all for naught Jets nab final playoff seed, Napanee left outside the picture

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

ad the Napanee Raiders managed to squeeze just one more win into the 40 games they played between September and last week, their season wouldn’t have ended so abruptly. Instead Napanee was officially eliminated on Sunday, the final regular season game of the season, when the Amherstview Jets shutout the Port Hope Panthers 3-0. Amherstview entered their 40th game of the year with 43 points, tied with Napanee for the final playoff spot. A Panthers’ regulation win would have given Napanee the final berth. To make matters worse, just two more points would have given the Raiders the second playoff seed. As it stands however they’ll wind up as post season spectators for the second year in a row. Missing the playoffs will sting just a bit more this year because the Raiders ended the season on an absolute tear, winning 10 of their last 12. Had they made the playoffs as the fourth seed they would have faced the Picton Pirates, who they bested 4-3 in their final meeting on Feb. 7. Though they were just 1-7 on the year against the reigning Schmalz Cup champion Pirates, they did play them tough in three of their final four meetings, losing by no

Napanee’s Ryan Casselman captured the Empire B League Rookie of the Year Award for his outstanding play this season.

Casselman named Empire’s top rookie First Raider ROY since Chris Brown Beaver Sports

heir 25th regular season officially in the books and on the cusp of the playoffs, executives of the Empire B League unveiled its 2013/14 award winners on Tuesday. Napanee’s own Ryan Casselman was awarded the Rookie of the Year honours, becoming the first Raider to capture the award since Chris Brown did so in 2004/05. The Napanee District Secondary School student was second in team scoring with 24 goals and 23 assists after converting to right wing from his natural centre position. He took 60 penalty minutes over the course of the season and showed that he would not back down against players up to 21 years of age. Having turned just 16 in October, Casselman was the lone Raider to play in a full 40 games this season. He quickly earned the confidence of his coaches and was relied on in all aspects of the game, often being one of the players put on the ice in the final minutes regardless of whether the Raiders were either up a goal or down a goal. “Ryan was everything we’d hope an underage player could be,” said general manager Adam Bramburger. “He reads the ice extremely well, he’s smart with the puck, and he shows physical strength beyond his years. He was also among the first players to volunteer to be

involved with any team or community function. On a team with more than 10 first-year players, Casselman was a leader from Day 1.” Casselman played a huge role in Napanee’s late season playoff push, collecting seven points in the team’s final five games, all must-win games. “We’re pleased our colleagues from across the league recognized the impact Casselman had this season and his potential as a junior hockey player,” Bramburger concluded. Casselman’s teammate Austin Boulard also took home an award, earning the league’s Player of the Month honour for February. He finished the final month of the season with four goals and three assists in all four games he played. Overall he had 15 goals and 32 assists in 39 games played this season. Also taking home league awards were Picton’s Brian Bunnett, who was named MVP, while teammate Steven Clarke earned Best Defenceman, Amherstview’s Troy Paquette was Best Goalie with 17 wins, and Picton’s goalies, Andrew Pearson and Adam Wood, combined for the best team goals against average. Wood had a 0.96 GAA while Pearson registered a 1.92. Both were one and two in the league. They combined for 14 shutouts, nine of which coming from Wood. They’ll no doubt be a tough duo to solve as the playoffs get underway later this week.

The 2013/14 Napanee Raiders waited just one game too long to start rolling, missing the Empire B League playoffs by just one win. more than two goals. Though their late season charge wasn’t enough to propel them into the playoffs, they did manage to finish with a 20-17-1-2 mark, their best finish since the 2010/11 campaign. They were also 13-7 at the Strathcona Paper Centre this year, giving them the second best home ice record to Picton, who was 19-1 in their barn. The close of Napanee’s season marks the end of Bud Norris and Chris Doyle’s run with the team, who played this year as overagers.

Norris, who hails from Tamworth and wore an ‘A’ for the club, finished with 24 goals and 18 assists. Doyle, who played defense, had three goals and six assists in 23 games this year. Also missing the playoffs for the second straight year is the Deseronto Storm. Unlike Napanee however their fate has been known for quite some time as they limped to a 326-1 record this year. They saw only a moderate improvement in the record, gaining one more point than they did in their first

tour of the Junior C league. They bid farewell to overagers Brandon Turner, Riley Muise and Jesse Burtch this year. As for the teams that did make the playoffs, the first round will see the top seeded Picton Pirates take on the Campbellford Rebels while The Jets host Port Hope. Both series are a best-of-seven with the two winning teams advancing to the league’s Tod Trophy. The winner of that series will earn the right to represent the league in the Ontario Hockey Association’s Schmalz Cup.

Napanee Minor Hockey Report

Minor Bantams Stars score early and roll to shutout playoff victory Beaver Sports he Napanee Exit Realty Stars shut out Pickering 3-0 on Saturday night, to lead their round robin series. Sixteen seconds into the match, after a hard forecheck by Eli Brown, Steven Shea fed the puck to Brendan Hagerman who found the back of the net. Nelson Powers added a point shot goal in the second, with assists credited to Shea and Brown. Later, Michael Lloyd broke down the wing later in the second, and fed Adam Doyle who found Ryan McLay open in the slot to ice the victory through the five-hole. On Sunday against the Oshawa Jr Generals they held the territorial edge in play, but in the end, one play was the difference. Cal Doyle found Shea loose near the Stars’ blue line, and he was able to break away from his check to score the winner in a 1-0 win. Finn Pierce and Liam Boyd shared the work in net in two shutouts. This was their fourth consecutive win for the locals, with a solid defense allowing a meager three goals. They have two road games left in this round robin series, in Oshawa and Clarington. n The Napanee Major Midgets, tied at three points each with Pickering, came out strong defensively on Saturday night. It was a tightly fought, scoreless match until the third when the Panthers broke it open with three goals in just over three minutes. Brock Clark got one back on a setup by Dalton Manley and Iain MacGregor. An empty net marker ended the scoring at 4-1 for Pickering. Trailing 5-3 in points, the Stars will need a win Saturday in Pickering to bring the series back to Napanee on Monday night. n The Napanee Minor Midgets played the home half of their series with both the Port Perry Predators and Lindsay Muskies over the weekend. Friday, they faced the Predators in a closely fought match in which Napanee led for much of the early going after Blake Hogle got an unassisted goal five minutes in. Their guests got the equalizer early in the third, and it stayed that way until with

1:37 left in the contest, Tristan Kennelly scored from Kier Doyle and Landon McDougall. Just 34 short seconds later the Predators again overcame the deficit to make it 2-2. Then, to add insult to injury, Port Perry got the winner with 23 ticks left on the clock. Saturday, the tables were turned, as their guests, Lindsay, took the lead first, and looked in control, 3-0, after two periods. The Stars came roaring back however, with Hogle scoring unassisted early in the third frame. Doyle helped overcome the deficit, scoring from Anderson Scott, before Nathan Murphy scored the Stars’ third unanswered goal for a 3-3 tie. Tristan Kennelly and Hogle contributed assists on the equalizer. n The Napanee Giant Tiger Minor Peewees had a busy week of hockey with three games in four nights. Last Thursday, they took it on the chin in an 11-4 loss to Quinte West. They fell behind early giving up four goals in the first. Kenny PaddleGrant got one back, set up by Aidan Joe. Mason Barker made it 4-2 on a feed off the wall by Paddle-Grant and Ethan McKeown. Hard work and persistence paid off in their third goal, when Zack Doyle scored on a goalmouth scramble, with McKeown and Alex Pym-Robichaud picking up assists. McKeown got their final goal from Barker and Paddle-Grant. On Saturday in Trenton, on the back half of the home-and-home series, it was a different story, as the Stars showed what they were made of controlling their hosts to win 6-4 and remain in contention. Coach Paul Davis got the best out of the kids as they bounced back from the Thursday loss. Sunday the team hosted Port Perry at the Strathcona Paper Centre, but they were unable to maintain their momentum, falling 5-2. Ethan Joe had a goal and assist, while Mason Barker had the other tally. n The McDougall Insurance Novice AEs finished off their first round of playoffs this weekend in their three team round robin with a big 5-1 win against the Belleville Jr

Bulls on Friday night. Connor McGinnis started off the scoring assisted by Benjamin Buxton. Other goal scorers were Kristen Sutton, Buxton, and Daniel Chase with two. Facing off against the Kingston Canadians on Saturday in a well-battled game, the team played one of their best games even though they fell short. Chase scored the only goal assisted by Karter Vermilyea. Their Lakeshore round robin series will see them play Belleville and Uxbridge in home-and-home matches. n Meanwhile, the Country Traditions Novice As will begin their next OMHA series in Cobourg on Thursday. n The Atom AE Stars began their second round of Lakeshore playoffs in Oshawa, and with a very short bench, they lost 7-1. Back home on Sunday, they again faced the same fate against a strong Oshawa Generals team. n The L&A Mutual Insurance Minor Atom Stars continued play in their Lakeshore Round Robin series on Sunday with a visit to the Limestone City to face the Canadians. The Stars took a 1-0 lead in the first minute of the game but the hosts slipped the welcome mat from under their guests’ skates and scored twice to take a one goal lead into the third period. Napanee began the final period with pressure in the offensive zone and were able to tie up the game with 12 minutes remaining. The third period became a chippy affair as both teams battled hard to take the lead and with six minutes remaining the Canadians were able to capitalize on a 2-on-1 and go up by a goal. Unfortunately with the goalie pulled and the Stars all over the offensive zone they were not able to beat Kingston’s goalie and fell 3-2. Scoring both goals for the Stars was Zach Slaven with helpers going to Ben Albright and Logan Lalande (two). Ryan Aldridge went the distance in goal and was stellar with some timely saves. The Stars will finish off their round robin series with a road game on Sunday against Whitby White.

CARDS OF THANKS

I wish to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the care I received while a patient at Lennox and Addington Hospital with a broken ankle, first in the hospital section itself and then in the Convalescent Care Unit. From the nurses, the physiotherapists, the activity coordinator, the cleaning staff and the volunteers. I could not have received better attention and concern for my well being. Thank you to relatives, friends and neighbours and Rev. Jean Brown and her husband Allan for their visits, phone calls, cards, flowers and goodies and for food brought to the house. A special thank you to our neighbour Elsie for providing supper for us the day I finally returned home. We are very fortunate to have our hospital and all the ever increasing services it provides. Ethel Graham.

MEMORIAMS

CONWAY - In loving memory of a dear father, Royce, who passed away February 18, 2010. Calm and peaceful he is sleeping, Sweetest rest that follows pain, We who loved him sadly miss him, But trust in God to meet again. Sadly missed by daughter Trudy and Mike and family. CONWAY - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, Royce, who passed away February 18, 2010. Peacefully sleeping, resting at last, His weary trials and troubles are past, In silence he suffered, in patience he bore, Till God called him Home to suffer no more. Lovingly remembered by wife Dorothy and family. CONWAY - In memory of a dear father, Royce, who passed away February 18, 2010. His weary hours and days of pain, His troubled nights are past And in our aching hearts we know, He has found sweet rest at last. In loving memory, your son Brian. HIRD AND FILE - In loving memory of our beloved daughter Jody and her fiance Rick, who died together in a car accident on March 2, 1981. God’s Lent Children “I’ll lend you for a little while, These children of mine” God said, “For you to love them while they live And mourn for when they are dead, It may be one or two years, Or forty-two or three, But will you tell I called them back, Take care of them for me? They’ll bring their charms to gladden you And should their stay be brief, You’ll have their lovely memories, As solace for your grief, I cannot promise they will stay, Since all from earth return, But the lessons taught below I want these children to learn, I’ve looked the whole world over, In search for teachers true And from the things that crowd Life’s lane, I have chosen you And will you give them all your love? Nor think about the labour vain? Nor hate Me when I come to take These lent children back again?” I fancied that I heard them say “Dear Lord, Thy will be done” For the joys Thy children will bring, The risk of grief we’ll run, We shelter them with tenderness, We’ll love them while we may And for the happiness we’ve known, Forever grateful stay, But should Thy angels call for them, Much sooner than we’ve planned, We’ll brave the grief that comes And try to understand”. Lovingly remembered by Mom and Dad. McTAGGART - In loving memory of Debbie, who passed away February 22, 2010. May the winds of love blow softly And whisper so you can hear, We will always love and miss you And wish that you were here, For all that life has given us And all that’s left to do, We’ll know no greater treasure Than the days we had with you. Love, Mom, David and Esther.

MEMORIAMS

John Patrick POWELL

In loving memory of our dear son who died tragically February 21, 1997. They say you will not come again, but I shall always hear your voice in silence and in song, and feel you ever near. Loved always Mom, Dad and Family

Terry James RANDS

July 19, 1967 - February 21, 2012 There’s a special Angel in Heaven That is a part of me, It’s not where I wanted him now, But where God wanted him to be. He was here but just a moment, Like a night time shooting star And though he is in Heaven, He isn’t very far. He touched the hearts of many, Like only an Angel can do, So I send this special message To Heaven up above, Please take care of my Angel And send him all my love. Thinking of you always, Steve and Julia

Douglas REID

In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandpa and greatgrandpa, Doug Reid, who left us suddenly February 20, 2006. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name, Special years will not return When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will be with us forever. Always remembered and loved by wife Faye, children, Candy and Larry, Deb and Paul, Jane and Dave, grandchildren, Catherine and Jenay, Janet, Rob, Nicki and Bain, Brittany and Kimberley and 8 great-grandchildren

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, there is more to you than meets the eye. You enjoy letting others get small glimpses of your true self, but this week they will get a lot of information all at once. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Feeling restless, Taurus? Spend some time with a hobby that you enjoy, whether that is cooking in the kitchen or building something out in the garage. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Others may have trouble reading you this week, Gemini. That's because you are putting forth a few different faces. It is better for all involved if you remain consistent. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, now is the time to introduce your family to a special friend of yours. This person will be received graciously, so there is no need to fret about the meeting. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, when you want to get something done, it is probably best if you do it yourself this week. This way you can bring your own unique approach to the task at hand. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Cash seems to be flowing out of your pockets this week, Virgo. You may want to sit down and make some adjustments to your spending habits so you can get your finances in order.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, your patience is wearing thin, but you need to keep your cool or you could end up in a sticky situation at work. Ride things out until the weekend arrives. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) It isn't in your makeup to be meek, Scorpio. If something needs to be discussed, speak up and let others know your perspective on the situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, a lucky streak has you excited to test your good fortune. Ride this wave, but do not go through all of your money in one fell swoop. That can spell trouble. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, you have been doing a lot of waiting around, but now your patience is bound to pay off. You just need to wait a little while longer to bear the fruits of your labors. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, a big adventure is on the horizon. The trouble is, you do not know what to expect and what to bring along for the ride. Things will come into focus soon. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) You need to take a rest, Pisces. Otherwise, you will burn out very quickly. Friends are urging you to slow down this week.

BELIEVE IT? How do Canadians know if it’s true (or not)? They turn to the trusted source: Newspapers in print, online, tablet and phone. And, research finds that they trust the ads there too – more than those in any other medium. Be where Canadians look.

Second draw winners in Up & At’Em was the team of Stan Yallup, Jo Sutton, Elizabeth Vandenberg, Ron Menchetti with Chris Ramshaw, Moira Sickling, Chris Downey and Ken Booker taking the runner up prize. The winning team for Tuesday night was Daryl Latimer, Louise VanHeighten, Lana Latimer, Gale Rogers and runner-up David VanVlack, Jordan VanVlack, Laurie VanStraalen and Jaan Lees.

Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BIA to host open meeting this evening Organization reaching out for more community support in coming year

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

he Napanee Business Improvement Area is gearing up for its Annual General Meeting this evening, looking for more community support with partnership changes in the BIA. Tom Coke, manager of the BIA, said the AGM will consist of passing the strategic plan and 2014 budget, among other items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One big change is the Community Living BIA partnership. The BIA wants to really put that out to the business community and to bring the business community closer with a great social program and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for sponsors in order to fund that program,â&#x20AC;? said Coke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was not only supported by the BIA last year, it was also funded through the BIA but for 2014 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its an opportunity for anyone thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in learning more about the BIA to meet the directors.â&#x20AC;?

Tom Coke, BIA manager â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think overall itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a positive for the program because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great opportunity for Napanee business-

funded by private sponsorship dollars.â&#x20AC;? The BIA believes this will be a positive change both for the Community Living program as well as for the downtown business owners.

es to get involved in a program that is just absolutely amazing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really wonderful opportunity for the business community to take part in a great social program like Community Living, to partnership and really come together, to bring everyone closer together.â&#x20AC;? By no longer financially supporting this program, the BIA is expected to save money that can be used elsewhere. Coke said the BIA has not yet determined where or how those funds will be dispersed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BIA is looking to get involved in some capital project, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really too early to tell at this time what the board is going to do with those savings. Over the last couple years with the Big Bright Lights Show, that was a major

capital expenditure, without the help of TransCanada and the Town of Greater Napanee that never would have been able to get off the ground. So this year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about enhancing what we have and having a budget thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in check, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tight, that works, and really moving forward from there. You have to continue to build on your successes and work from your setbacks,â&#x20AC;? said Coke. As for the rest of the BIA strategic plan, it is currently in draft form and available prior to the AGM for review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that the board has worked on for well over a year and excited to see that plan pass. It is in draft form now and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available for download leading up to the AGM to give the membership the

opportunity to review, to read it, to look at it and then to be able to come to the AGM and ask any questions about it. And then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to pass the budget for 2014 as well,â&#x20AC;? said Coke. The board passed the 2014 budget on Dec. 5, 2013. The AGM is scheduled for Feb. 20 at the BIA office on Dundas Street. It will be held from 6:30-7:30 p.m. with a social following the meeting. Coke encourages anyone interested in learning more about the BIA to

attend the meeting and social at 7:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for anyone thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in learning more about the BIA to meet the directors,â&#x20AC;? he said. Currently the board members are: chair Brad Way, vice chair Ashley Arnold, treasurer Peter Veltheer, secretary Michelle Edgar, council representative Bill Pierson, director Shaune Lucas, director Doris Lucas, and director KrystaLee Woodcock.

Most denture wearers have not changed their dentures in over 10 years. Dentures have an average life span of 5-8 years. To many wearers this comes as a surprise. As we age, our mouths change due to gum and bone loss resulting in sagging facial features and loose, painful dentures. The dentures move due to excessive bone loss creating a floating appearance. This is seen particularly in lower dentures. As the teeth get older they naturally start to stain and it makes it more difficult to clean. The teeth will also start to wear down making the chewing surface less effective. Denture wearers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize all these changes because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had them so long. If your current dentures are over 15 years your bite force will be reduced to 6 pounds of force compared to 200 pounds of force with natural teeth. This leads to swallowing large pieces of food which can create digestive problems resulting in acid reflux, choking hazards and constipation. Many claim to be able to eat what they want but are they able to chew properly? Like the old Chinese proverb says "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now!â&#x20AC;?

MANAGING MONEY AFTER 50

nvestors know that money management can be difficult. The ebb and flow of the economy can be similar to a roller coaster, with soaring highs followed by steep drops, and those changes all affect investors' bottom lines. It's no wonder then that many investors over 50 envision the day when they can get off that roller coaster and simply enjoy their money without having to worry about the everyday ups and downs of the market. But managing money after 50 is about more than just reducing risk. Reducing risk as retirement draws near is a sound financial strategy that can safeguard men and women over 50 from the fluctuations of the market That's true whether investors put their money in stocks, real estate or other areas that were not immune to the ups and downs of the economy. But there are additional steps men and women can take

after they turn 50 to ensure their golden years are as enjoyable and financially sound as possible. • Prioritize saving for retirement. Men and women over 50 know that retirement is right around the corner. Despite that, many people over 50 still have not prioritized saving for retirement. It's understandable that other obligations, be it paying kids' college tuition or offering financial assistance to aging parents, may seem more immediate, but men and women over 50 should recognize that their time to save for retirement is rapidly dwindling. Just because you are retired does not mean your bills will magically disappear. In fact, some of those bills, such as the cost of medical care, are likely to increase. So now is the time to make retirement a priority if you have not already done so. It might be nice to finance a child's college education, but that should not be done at the expense of your retirement nest egg. Kids

have a lifetime ahead of them to repay college loans, while adults over 50 do not have that much time to save for retirement. • Start making decisions. People retire at different times in their lives. Some people want to keep working as long as they are physically and mentally capable of doing so, while others want to reap what their lifetime of hard work has sewn and retire early. Finances will likely play a strong role in when you can comfortably retire, so start making decisions about your longterm future. Do you intend to stay in your current home or downsize to a smaller home? Will you stay in your current area or move elsewhere? These decisions require a careful examination of your finances, and many will hinge on how well you have managed your money in the past and how well you manage it in the years ahead. Managing money after 50 requires more than just allocating resources. Sound money management

after 50 also means making decisions about your future and taking the necessary steps to ensure those decisions come to fruition. • Pay down debt. Men and women over 50 are not often associated with debt, but that's a misconception. Thanks in part to the recession that began in 2008 and led to high unemployment, many people in the baby boomer generation, which includes people born between the years 1946 and 1964, went back to school to make themselves more attractive to prospective employers. While that might have been a sound decision, it left many deeply in debt. According to a 2013 report from the Chronicle of Higher Education, student loan debt is growing fastest among people over 60, and that debt is not inconsequential. In fact, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported in 2013 that the average student loan debt of those over the age of 60 who still owe money is more than

$19,000, a considerable increase from 2005, when the average debt was $11,000. Men and women over 50 who are still carrying debt should eliminate consumer debt first, as such debt tends to be accompanied by higher interest rates than mortgages and student loan debt. Paying down debt can help reduce stress, improve your quality of life and free up money for living and recreational expenses once you retire. • Examine your insurance policies. Your approach to insurance should change as you get closer to retirement. For example, you want to maximize your liability insurance on homeowners and auto insurance policies. This ensures the money you have set aside for retirement won't be going to a third party should you be at-fault in an

auto accident or if someone suffers an injury at your home. Experts recommend liability insurance be substantial for men and women over 50, with some suggesting it be as high as twice your net worth. If it wasn't already, securing long-term disability insurance should be a priority once you have turned 50. A sudden accident or illness at 55 that prevents you from working could prove devastating to your financial future if you do not have disability insurance. Some employers offer long-term disability, though many people are left to secure policies on their own. Regardless of how you get your disability insurance, make sure you have it and that it provides adequate coverage should you succumb to an illness or injury and be unable to work.

20 Tips for a Stress Free Wedding.. Even though the concept of a stress free wedding may seem like fantasy, it is not impossible. As much as you’re looking forward to your big day, you just know your extensive and meticulous plans are never going to guarantee a stress free wedding. For all of those couples who are looking for ways to make their day be as special as in their dreams, here are 20 Tips for a Stress Free Wedding:

wedding if you trying to communicate plans that change every day. It is very tempting to discuss the details of your plans with your friends and family, but take into account that you and your fiancé could very well be changing your mind a few times still. Discussing it with well-meaning family members who then go ahead and start steam rolling projects to try and help you, will drive you insane.

1. DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT AS A COUPLE

4. LESS IS MORE

Sit down together once you start your stress free wedding planning and discuss both of your ideas of what kind of event you would like. Are you going to go with a formal ceremony, a beach wedding, a large reception, a live band or are you just going to elope? (The best advice you will ever get is to elope.) Whatever you choose, go to your planner with a firm idea in your head; don’t start umming and ahhhing about it 3 months down the line. 2. PICK YOUR VENUE FIRST It can be difficult to know where to start when planning your wedding and the best place would be the venue. Finding a venue that can accommodate your date, fits your budget and is exactly what you are looking for it no small feat, so choosing a gorgeous venue can actually dictate (or at least add some control) your other decisions. Once you have found it, you can send out your save the date and start budgeting for numbers. 3. KEEP THE DETAILS TO YOURSELVES You won’t have a hassle free

Weddings are expensive, so it is important to work out what is really important and what is not. Nobody remembers the flowers on the table, that’s a promise, and nobody remembers the décor either. They remember the bride and the party, and for the rest there are photos. Don’t spend thousands on flowers, and décor, and favours; you can have a striking stress free wedding with a few simple and tasteful ideas. 5. GIVE EVERYBODY A JOB Delegate, delegate, delegate. This means that not only do you not have to do everything yourself, but nobody feels shunted and left out. Family members quickly feel unimportant if you don’t give them something to do, even if it is only making sure the confetti gets there on time. Give jobs out at the start, and you will have less interfering altogether. 6. MAKE DECISIONS TOGETHER Another tempting thing to do is discuss things with friends, and leave your fiancé out of the decision making process altogether. Even if he protests he doesn’t want to be involved – he does!

Make a rule, right up front, that no decisions will be made with other people, and that every aspect needs to be discussed and decided by the bride and groom only. This will be very helpful down the line when people start interfering, and will be one of the biggest ingredients in getting you that anxiety free wedding. 7. HAVE A WEDDING FREE DAY Even though you may not think so now, the wedding planning is going to start becoming overwhelming, never mind downright mundane, and at some point you will start to tire of it – honestly! Have one day and one night, where you pack away the planners and the wedding books, the photographs, the cake choices, switch your phones off and spend an entire 24 hours together reminding yourselves of why you are doing this in the first place. And no mention of the wedding whatsoever! 8. STICK TO YOUR BUDGET Unless you are marrying a Sheik, chances are you are going to have a budget. Things can catapult out of control very quickly, especially towards the end, when you are just so tired of all of this and saying, yes followed by whatever, to everything. Post wedding, you are going to regret that. Follow your budget religiously, and do make sure there is a bit extra for last minute things, but be strict, a financially stress free wedding means you don’t start your married life in debt. 9. KEEP YOURSELVES HAPPY What so many family members

forget is that this is all about you and your fiancé, when in fact they think it is all about them. Emotional blackmail, snide remarks, subtle threats, thin lips and fake tears to get their own way, really does work, so brace yourself and decide from the start to be selfish and learn to say no. Sitting with a whole lot of other people at the wedding to keep other people happy will make you really upset afterwards. Don’t give in. 10. HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER If you haven’t taken the best piece of advice and eloped then take the next best piece of advice and get a planner. Leave everybody out of it, blame everything on the planner and let them handle the family drama – they are the professionals, they are not emotionally involved and they will protect you from your family. Have the wedding you want, and worry about nothing. This is the ultimate decision for a stress free wedding. 11. IGNORE THE DRAMA If you haven’t got a planner, even if you have, there is going to be drama. Weddings are a bit like Christmas, throwing all sorts of family together who have been saving up all their gripes and grievances since the previous event, for the next special occasion – your wedding. Just add booze and your nightmare is complete. Rise above it, make sure

none of them are sitting together and don’t have a cash bar. 12. THE DESTINATION WEDDING The perfect drama free wedding. This one is like having a planner and eloping, and before you think this is an expensive option think again. Wedding packages in places like Mauritius and the Maldives, Mexico and the Caribbean include lots of complimentary extras for the bridal couple, and chances are only the very important people will travel all that way, so you could save a lot of money, not have the headache, and soak up the sun on a tropical island once all your guests have left.

20 Tips Continued from Page 3 13. PICK YOUR BATTLES Frustrations and nerves run high during the wedding planning. Even the most level headed families start getting a bit rattled at some point. Stay calm when people close to you start giving you a hard time, tell them you hear them and you understand, and then do your own thing anyway. Save your energy for the vendor who wants to charge to double for half the flowers you ordered. 14. DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF Is it really that important that you can only get your flowers you want in off white and not ivory? Actually is doesn’t matter at all, look at the bigger picture, what are the things that really matter? Your fiancé needs to show up, your minister needs to pitch and there needs to be wine afterwards to go with the music. How many extra centimetres the place cards are going to be, or if the red flowers went on the blue table instead of the red one are trivial. For a stress free wedding, let it go, don’t drive yourself and those around you mad. 15. KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND Even the most logical and level headed people lose it at some point, really. It is the one and only time you are planning an event like

this (hopefully), and let’s face it that doesn’t’ make us professionals. It is stressful, but you can manage it. Don’t let all the chaos go to your head, remind yourself that it is not about the wedding it is about the celebration of a future life between you and your fiancé; it is about spending the rest of your life with someone you love. 16. BE REALISTIC There are just some things that you are not going to have any control over, like the weather, if the wrong colour table cloths arrive, if the cake gets dropped, or if one of your bridesmaids is sick on the day. Be prepared to expect the unexpected and roll with the punches. Don’t panic and be realistic enough to know there are going to be a few things that don’t go exactly as planned, but what a cool story to tell later. 17. DON’T LEAVE THINGS UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE Make a list and tick things off, go back to the beginning and check that those things have actually been done, and don’t leave anything to the last minute. Vendors like music and bands, caterers, car hire, hairdressers, make up and photographers, to name but a few should be booked no less than 3 months in advance, and even that is cutting it fine. Your venue, no less than 12 months, as you would be surprised how quickly

N A P A N E E

things get booked up. 18. PRE-MARITAL COUNSELLING So you have lived together for ages, you may even have children together already, so why do you need to go for pre-marital counselling? Isn’t that for very young couples who don’t know each other very well? Not necessarily. So many couples have expectations about married life that they don’t ever really think to discuss it. Clearing the air together with a perfect stress free wedding is a good way to start a marriage, so that you know for sure that you are both on the same page. 19. RELAX Are you not going to have a stress free wedding because you, yourself are stressed? The mood of the bride and groom set the scene for the entire wedding day, and the feelings during the planning of the wedding. In order to have a no-drama wedding, you and your fiancé will need to stay cool, calm and relaxed and everyone will follow your example. If you are both going to be agitated, expect that to reflect on those around you. Set the scene, take a deep breath and smile. 20. ENJOY Looking back, people remember their weddings as a blur, exhausted and full of champagne, the bridal couple get so wrapped up in the schedule of events, the timing, the dance, the cake,

the everything, that they forget that this is their party, and they must just forget about everything on the day, focus on each other and enjoy. Nothing else matters. There are just a few basic ingredients for a drama free wedding day, and not being able to see the bigger picture will be your downfall. For a stress free wedding, remember, it is about you and your loved one and the start of a new life together, the celebration of your love and the joining of two families. Don’t be the bride and groom that miss the point altogether and make it more about the party than the couple, as then you will never have an anxiety free wedding.

2014 Wedding Trends

Your Day, Your Way

Custom Wedding Packages at The Waring House

A new year brings new trends in everything from fashion to weddings. While we saw more swank and glam in 2013, 2014’s wedding trends are showcasing more traditional and classic weddings. This year’s weddings will be a little softer. They are going back to the days when all men were chivalrous and moms cried. Your 2014 wedding will be emotional, classic and elegant. Here are some things to look out for: Softer, sweeter tones: Blushing brides make you think of a sweet and soft colour palette. Neutrals, peaches, blushes and soft pink are back! The bold purples and sophisticated blacks and whites will take a backseat to the more romantic and delicate hues. Wedding dresses that are romantic and vintage: Many brides will be wearing pink wedding dresses this year. Soft but a little different, pink dresses keep with the romantic theme. Big-name wedding dress designers like Vera Wang have already shown gorgeous pink dresses on the runway. Also look for lace sleeves in 2014. Both vintage and soft, this look is just right for this year. Dramatic veils: Long and flowing, a cathedral-style veil completes the look for the traditional bride. Brides have been wearing simple, modern and clean veils but expect to see veils trimmed with lace, crystals and other fine embellishments. Cover it up: In the cooler seasons, 2014 brides will be keeping warm under capes, boleros and wraps. Either fur or silk, these cover-ups will not only protect brides from the cold, but give them a classic bridal look. Hair embellishments: Loose and flowing or elegantly put into an updo, brides will adorn themselves with a spectacular piece of hair jewellery. Pearls, diamonds,

flowers, feathers or crystals…bridal hair will be dressed up! Going formal: Weddings are about romance and this often brings couples back to the days of formality when care was taken into every detail of planning a classy wedding. Waiters served food with white gloves, while guests enjoyed their meal on gold-rimmed china, and then danced to music played by big orchestras. Think of the elegance of the ’20s and you will be on the right track! Lush and romantic flowers: The classic peony is a very popular bloom among brides. Lush, soft and exquisitely romantic, this multi-petal bloom will continue to be popular in 2014. Because peonies are very seasonal (early spring) and very costly when they are not in season, there are great alternatives that achieve the same look. For example, double tulips and garden roses are super options. Less is more: Wedding invitations will be delicate. Save trees by forgoing the huge elaborate thick invitations. Invitations designers are creating cards smaller than the standard 5×7 and expect them to be dainty. Family style dining: While the waiters are serving food in elegant black dinner jackets and white gloves, you can nonetheless, expect the service to be approachable elegance. Meals served to guests will be served for them to share, in a family-style service. This allows for more interaction between guests. Wedding cakes stay classic: This year’s wedding cakes will be the classic multi-tiered white or ivory cake, and if there are accents, expect them to be light in the blush and neutral tones. Light pink and hints of green and even monograms will be seen on wedding cakes this year. This will be a year of beauty, classic and elegance that takes you back in time.
