Town $30 mil. behind in roads investment: study BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Greater Napanee is facing an over-$30 million infrastructure deficit in road repairs, according to a road needs study council
reviewed at a recent council meeting. The study was initially completed in 2013 and updated again in 2015. It was completed by G. D. Jewell Engineering Inc. and includes roads to be upgraded or fixed right away, roads to be

maintained within one to five years, and those that are expected to need repairs within the next 10 years. According to the study, Greater Napanee has about 283 kilometres of roads. “The study indicates estimat-
ed total cost of improvements to the road network in the amount of $44,147,000. If the identified needs, $30,487,000 is for roads that are already deficient (to be fixed right away), $8,288,000 is for the next one to five years, and $5,372,000 for six to 10 years

Greater Napanee
Town seeks answers from Hydro One Recent power outages prompt letter from council seeking explanation, and assurances
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Due to recent power outages in Greater Napanee, council is sending a second letter to Hydro One seeking answers related to damages and compensation. Earlier this month, council accepted for information a letter received from Hydro One that council felt was “generic” and did not offer the information council was looking for.
“I would like to move that we re-contact Hydro (One), specifically the status of our situation, above and beyond regular maintenance. I want to know the occurrences, why they happened, where they happened, what they did about it, what we can expect in the future. This is different than the letter we received,” said Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas. The letter, dated Jan. 23 and signed by Clark Masterson, Hydro One Networks Inc. provincial lines superintendent, stat-

ed recent Hydro One equipment upgrades in Greater Napanee should decrease the amount of power outages in the future. The letter included three recent upgrading projects. First, many electrical components at the Napanee Transfer Station on Bridge Street West, were replaced. Second, replacement of wood poles and insulators and the replacement of conductor wire was completed on four kilometres of the 44 kilovolt line on County Rd. 1, between Deseronto Road and County Rd. 1 East toward Napanee. Third, an additional 44 kilovolt circuit was installed on County Rd. 1 between Beechwood Road and Jim Kim-
mett Blvd. In this process, 84 poles were replaced, as well as new wire for the additional circuit. However, Lucas said the letter does not answer all of the questions he is looking for and he wants to ensure they are answered so Greater Napanee can continue to grow. “I’m trying to avert the imagery that’s going to be created for Greater Napanee when it comes to potential investors and current investors. I know personally that the grocery stores are running around getting freezer trucks every time this happens and it’s getting to be a joke in this community. It’s really hard to get rid of the label once it’s
done. I just want the community to know that we’re doing something to address something that’s not in our control but that we’re concerned,” said Lucas. “I don’t think we’re ever going to get the answer that you want, councillor Lucas, but it doesn’t hurt to try,” said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “It was a fairly carefully-worded letter back to us,” said Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery. “What was referred to in the letter, I think, is strictly the provincial regulations dictate that Ontario Hydro’s responsibility beyond when there is a problem after an outage
and it’s very restrictive about what that is.” The letter did not specifically say whether Hydro One will provide compensation for Greater Napanee customers; however, it did state that customers can file a claim for damages by contacting Hydro One’s insurance adjuster, Quelmec Loss Adjusters, at 1-888-8726200. The letter also pointed homeowners and business owners to more information online, at www.hydroone.com. For information on compensation due to damaged equipment, see Section 2.3 of Hydro One’s Conditions of Service. For liabilities of Hydro One and its customers, see Section 1.9.

Hockey team comes to aid of girl fighting cancer Staff Reporter
When Noah Towns’ Napanee atom house league teammates heard of his sister Sophie’s serious health issues, they immediately wanted to help. The tight-knit group has rallied around their teammate’s younger sister, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in December, helping to raise $1,000 for the family. They’re not stopping there, as they get
set to host a Skate for Sophie fundraiser on March 20 from 1-2 p.m. at the Strathcona Paper Centre. “It started out with every time they got shots on net in one particular game, we donated a dollar,” explained Napanee Atom Red Team manager Jessica McMurter. “We ended up raising something like $400 because a bunch of parents chipped in on that particular game.” From there, the team has continued their fundraising efforts, brain-
storming the idea for a public skate with a 50/50 draw and raffles. Several prizes have been donated for the raffle. “They wanted to keep going with it so we decided to do something as a team,” said McMurter. “We contacted (the municipality) and they generously donated both pads for a day during March Break. The whole team has come together and they’re going to organize the event for Noah’s sister Sophie.” Guests who want to come out for a skate are
ROADS | ‘That’s scary’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Over $30 million? That’s scary,” said Ward 3 councillor Roger Cole. “The even more scary part is that by the time we get $30 million spent on the roads, we’ll be ready to spend another $30 million. That’s the problem,” added Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “But we’re certainly not going to spend $30 million on roads in the next few years. We’re going to do them as our budget will allow us to do it. I think every municipality that I’ve heard of, across eastern Ontario, is in the same predicament as we are, only some of them are worse. “Our roads and our infrastructure services are a big part of this municipality and the province of Ontario but we’re neglecting them because of polic-
ing costs and other costs that are being downloaded on to us, and it’s a shame,” explained Schermerhorn. The mayor said though Greater Napanee does have a lot of work ahead of it when it comes to infrastructure services, the municipality is lucky to have Lennox and Addington County supporting it through road maintenance. “Two per cent (over) the last 10 years has been strictly for roads and our county roads are a lot better than some of our neighbours because we are taking that two per cent and taking it strictly into roads,” he said. Schermerhorn added that other areas have not been so lucky. “The County of Hastings, when they had their county road system, they just took the county roads and downloaded it all on to the municipalities. And a
lot of the municipalities cannot afford to keep up with them. That’s why No. 2... to Shannonville is in bad shape,” he said. “I’m pretty proud that the county has taken that step, I think it’s been a good for us and we’re not falling that far behind,” Schermerhorn added. However, some councillors showed concerns that the municipality was falling behind. “I certainly don’t want to fall under the U.S. situation with deficiencies,” said Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas. “Thirty million, it’s a lot of money,” said Ward 1 councillor Mike Schenk before moving to accept the roads report for information. The full report is available on the Greater Napanee website in the minutes for the Feb. 10 regular council meeting agenda.

encouraged to donate any amount to the cause. The team will also be selling $5 bracelets with Sophie’s name on them. All proceeds go to the Towns family. “They were really conceded about his family,” McMurter said of the team. “Even one little boy had a birthday party where he invited kids but asked for donations toward’s Noah’s family instead of presents. It has been an ongoing thing for months and they
decided they just wanted to keep raising money as a team. It’s fantastic the support that nine- and 10year-olds are showing.” Along with next month’s skate there is also a fundraising dance set for this Saturday at the Napanee Lions Hall, starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for a single or $25 for a couple.

Budget docs to get advanced posting Council members butt heads over how financial numbers are presented and discussed
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Detailed budgets will now be available online one week prior to each Greater Napanee budget meeting, allowing council and members of the public more time to review the information. Ward 4 councillor Carol Harvey put forward a notice of motion at the last budget meeting on Feb. 3 explaining that she felt the information had not been presented to council with enough time to process it and ask questions. Council had been provided with the utilities budget on the previous Friday for the Tuesdayevening budget meeting. At that meeting, council was asked to move a 2.5 per cent increase in the utilities budget. “I’m just asking for more time to go over the budget and come up with questions because I wasn’t happy with the process with the utilities (budget),” said Harvey at a Feb. 10 regular council meeting, when her notice of motion was discussed. Harvey clarified that she does not expect council to hold a formal meeting one-week prior to each budget meeting. That being said, she does want to see that the agenda and reports are provided to council and the public at least a week before each budget meeting. Previous to this, council declined another notice of motion, which was put forward by Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas, requesting quarterly budget updates and to re-establish a water
and sewer committee board. Harvey had voted in favour of this. “I think if (they’re) not going to be quarterly and get the facts and figures and that sort of thing, then at least we can have (the budget) a week before… In our mailbox three days before, over a weekend, you can’t contact staff from Friday until Monday, so you really just have a day-anda-half. I just feel that we need more time,” Harvey explained at the last regular council meeting. Council had mixed feelings on the utilities budget. While Harvey and Lucas felt they did not have enough time to review the information before making a decision to increase rates, Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser said he felt the budget was presented well and thinks the same format should be adopted in future budget deliberations. “The budget we saw last week for the water and sewer portion was the sort of presentation I was expecting to see. I did like the way it was presented,” said Kaiser. However, Lucas disagreed. His opinion is that Greater Napanee does not present budget information as well as other municipalities. “I’ve seen other municipal budget formats and ours is not what I would consider ‘normal’. The other thing I’d like to see is two sets of meetings. I’ve always felt that we get it and we have to approve it. I think there has to be two kicks to the cat: one is a presentation from staff, per department, saying ‘here’s where we’d like to go,
here’s what we’d like to change, and here’s what we’d like to do,’ and then we get input from council and you get input from the public,” said Lucas, suggesting to change the way budgets are compiled and presented. “I think we need to slow it down, the process ,a bit, we need to open the gap a bit… People need to digest it and comment on it. That can’t happen in the same night,” Lucas added. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn disagreed with Lucas, and said it is up to council to make tough decisions and that includes tax increases and deciding which municipal services to prioritize. “Well I can tell you (Lucas) that we’re the last municipality in pretty near this county to pass their budget. Most of them have already passed them. Nobody likes to pay taxes. We are elected to make decisions… We’re here to run a business,” said Schermerhorn. “We have to keep the roads plowed, the arenas open, the ballparks, the libraries, and so on and so on. It takes ‘x’ number of dollars. If council wants to cut people and expenses, that’s up to council but the service won’t be there.” In regards to changing how the budget is presented, as Lucas recommended, Schermerhorn said that isn’t going to happen. “Don’t say that you (Lucas) have seen other municipal budgets. Maybe you have, but our budget has been changed — you were here — because of council, the way it was presented. It (has been) presented properly for the last
number of years and we’re not changing it this time,” said Schermerhorn. Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery said each budget has been finetuned to the best of staff’s ability before it is presented to council in order to ensure the level of services being provided and tax increases, if necessary, make sense. He also noted that staff would be available during all budget meetings to answer any
questions council may have. “Each general manager and manager of service area is in the room at that time. If there’s a question about a specific service area, it gets answered at that point in time,” said Callery. Callery added that changing the budget in order to provide all the budgetary details, as Lucas noted, is likely to complicate the budget process. “What we try not to do

EDITORIAL
Picturing Our Community
Sex-ed necessities It’s comical that, even if you’re years beyond your gradeschool days, ‘sex ed’ still has the potential to make you squirm. It’s a delicate subject. It’s not a subject we generally like to discuss frankly and out in the open. It’s just, well, uncomfortable. And, it’s a subject that has so many moral, ethical and religious tie-ins that the subject can’t help but be controversial. The new sex ed curriculum presented by the Ontario Liberal government certainly is no exception. Regardless, it’s something we have to talk about, no matter how much we’d rather talk about something (anything) else. And, it’s essential that schools play a role in this. There is an obvious public health imperative. Through education, we reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies. Through education, we reduce the transmission of sexuallytransmitted diseases. Through education, we combat the (unhelpful) information children will inevitably be bombarded with in the media and over the Internet. Through education, we can empower our children to develop healthy and safe relationships. This does not, of course, absolve parents of their responsibility to have ‘The Talk’ with their kids; nor is the implementation of the new sex-ed curriculum a case of the government overstepping in a role best filled by parents. That said, not all parents are equipped with accurate information. Not all parents have ‘The Talk’ with their kids. Without some sort of sex education provided in the classroom, there will be huge gaps in what our kids learn, with no assurance that any of the information they’re receiving is reliable information. One of the chief concerns of the curriculum revision being proposed by the government is that it’s a one-size-fits-all approach; not all children are ready to learn certain elements of the new curriculum at the same time. Another is that the government failed to do enough consultation with parents before they came forward with the legislation. Perhaps there is merit to these criticisms. However, this is another instance where parents can play a role in tailoring the curriculum to best suit their children. Parents can ‘opt out’ of certain elements of the curriculum if they believe their children aren’t ready for the subject matter. While this might result in some uneven learning, we contend that respecting parents’ judgement relating to their children’s education is a must. There is no arguing that the old sex-ed curriculum dating back almost two decades needed an update. And, there is no arguing that simply leaving sex ed up to parents — who may or may not even broach the subject in their own homes — is an acceptable option. With the updated curriculum, the government is fulfilling its responsibility to Ontario students and their parents. Parents have the opportunity to adjust it to best suit their kids. It’s a subject that none of us particularly want to talk about, but we’ve got an obligation to our kids to give them the best information possible.

The bikes, which are popping up in classrooms around Napanee, are used to encourage exercise and improve students’ focus.
Letter to the Editor
Current tax system must change Last week’s letter ‘Tax Review Should be Independent’ cannot be allowed to go unanswered. No one likes paying taxes. All of us would love to shift them to someone else. However, the tax system we have requires that taxes be based on property values. Assessments are set by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation and already reflect the municipal services supplied to each property. Anyone who feels they are paying too much has the right to appeal their assessment. No one should ask Greater Napanee council to second guess MPAC and do the impossible task of deciding how
much benefit each ratepayer receives for what he pays. Provincial law requires that municipalities impose the same mill rate across the whole area except for very specific cases where a special service is provided in a clearly defined area and at a cost that is specified. In Loyalist Township, for example, Amherstview residents pay about one per cent extra for transit but everything else is equal. The tax system we have is unique and it is a poorly kept secret at Greater Napanee town hall that it is illegal. Shortly after amalgamation, rural residents lobbied aggres-
sively and on one occasion, their tractors circled town hall during a crucial vote. To preserve a fragile union, a concession was made. For 15 years, the rest of us have paid an extra 32 per cent for something that has never been identified. No one remembers how that number was arrived at. A lot has changed since amalgamation. The farmers, who complained 15 years ago, receive a 75 per cent rebate on their taxes. Today, it is the owners of large, estate, properties that claim to be aggrieved.

SCC got it right with end-of-life ruling I must say that I have not been highly supportive of many Supreme Court decisions; however, the decision to strike down Canada’s assisted suicide law with an unusually unanimous 90 vote is all about freedom and giving individuals end of life choices. I could not agree more. Most of us have parents, relatives or friends who live, or have lived in seniors’ homes or hospitals and when you visit them you see too many people that are in a very bad way, both physically and mentally. I have noticed some who are not responsive, who cannot feed them-
selves, who cannot breathe on their own, who are in constant pain, who have been through unsuccessful medical treatments, who are being kept alive by modern medicine for reasons I cannot fathom. These people have no hope whatsoever of recovering and are technically left to die — not because of poor care, but because of a system that cares more about keeping a person alive, than it does about allowing a person to die with dignity. Although abuses could happen in rare instances, I feel that the pluses override the negatives on this issue.

taxes. But what is even worse is a tax system that is seen as unfair. And our system is horribly out of line with the rest of Ontario. This issue has been festering for years. The ruralurban divide has been a bitter irritant in almost everything council tries to do. Minor issues often lead to bickering, dithering and expensive studies with a loss in the quality of our governance and a great deal of waste. We have seven very capable people on council including two fresh faces. The rural ratepayers would do themselves and the rest of our town a great service if they stopped bullying our elected councilors and let them do their jobs. When council deals with this very difficult issue as required by law I fully expect them to tackle the many tasks ahead as a more cohesive group, working together for he good of all.
Ironically, the major beneficiaries of our outdated tax policy are the large rural industries such as Ontario Power Generation, which also receives a 32 discount. The tired argument that rural taxpayers receive less value for their tax dollars is full of holes. Residents of urban Napanee already pay all capital and operating expenses of the water-sewer system separate from taxes. And while urban Napanee has certain services such as sidewalks and street lighting which are not available elsewhere, these services are one of many factors that MPAC uses to establish assessed value. The level of policing does not change at Vanluven Road. Everyone benefits when an impaired driver is arrested regardless of where the arrest takes place. All of us have access to and use the entire road system not just the stretch in front of our homes. Nobody likes paying
Pierre Cliche Cheers & Jeers We continue to hear that when we get to a certain age, we must get our affairs in order. It must be done when we can think clearly and without outside influences. We must be in charge and we must make our wishes crystal clear about how we would like our lives to end, because as we all know, death is inevitable. Such decisions must be up to each individual to decide. Dying with dignity and without excru-
ciating suffering is, in my view, a very personal choice, a personal right, providing we have legal documents that support our wishes. You may want to read books that give you arguments for both sides. I encourage you to do this before you make a decision either way, but, I also believe that it is important that you, and only you, make an informed decision that is right for you. Until the Canadian government rewrites the law, dying with dignity will not be allowed and there is always a chance that a prime minister or premier could invoke the notwith-
standing clause which would override a court decision. Some provinces believe this is their jurisdiction due to the fact that they are responsible for health care, but the court has disagreed. Quebec did pass a law to allow it under special conditions. Further, doctors cannot be forced to administer euthanasia if they do not believe it is OK and that is certainly fair and practical. Around the world, countries such as Switzerland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Australia, India, Columbia, and Ireland allow assisted suicides. In the USA some states such as Washington,
Montana, Oregon and soon Massachusetts are also on board. I give three cheers to the Supreme Court of Canada to have had the foresight to rule in favour of this plan and to have taken into consideration the wishes of thousands of Canadians who have given a 79 to 80 per cent approval rating, according to polls. This topic is obviously very controversial; however, we need to talk about it. This should not be a taboo subject and every individual is entitled to his/her wishes and opinions.

Letter to the Editor
Property taxes should be fair In response to previous letters to the Beaver, I agree property taxes should be fair. Thus, I have never understood why rural residents of Greater Napanee pay 32 per cent less and I’m happy that councillor Shaune Lucas has asked for a review of expenses. The major reason that has been repeated ad nauseum regarding why urban residents pay more is that the rural residents do not receive town water or sewage. No one has pointed out that property taxes do not cover the cost of water and sewage. Urban residents receive a separate bill issued bi-monthly for these services. The water bill includes the cost of the water used, a sewer charge, capital improvement surcharge, and maintenance surcharge. Now to address the other issues brought up. Yes, urban residents do have streetlights and some sidewalks, although by no means do all the residential neighbourhoods enjoy side-

walks. Streets are ploughed and the town does an excellent job. However, rural routes are ploughed as well. The major beneficiaries of these rural routes are the rural residents. It costs more to plough rural routes as it takes the drivers a longer time (hourly pay, more drivers needed) and it costs more for gasoline. It’s true that rural residents do not have natural gas lines. Obviously, those who purchased rural homes know this. And like water, gas is paid in a separate bill issued to urban residents. The gas bill includes the gas used, transportation, storage, delivery, and then a ‘just what the heck’ monthly charge. Property taxes do not pay Union Gas. Garbage and recycling collection is done throughout the municipality. I can see the blue boxes and trash bags along the rural routes. This would cost Greater Napanee more than urban collection due to the length of time
involved in collection and the gasoline costs. Everyone pays the additional fee of $1.50 for each garbage bag equally. The OPP is an issue on to itself. I will only point out that by reading the crime report in the local papers one can see that the urban centre does not have more occurrences than the rural areas. And in fact, the overwhelming amount of police work has to do with Highway 401, which is no more an urban than a rural Napanee problem. The current review should not turn into a tax grab. If it’s determined that everyone should pay their equal share then obviously urban rate payers should see a reduction in their property tax. Greater Napanee should ensure they collect roughly the same amount as today, but it’s equitably distributed. Taxes should indeed be fair. Dawn Andrews, Greater Napanee

Letter to the Editor
Notice of motion could be bad news for rural ratepayers At a recent Council meeting in Greater Napanee, Councillor Shaune Lucas made a notice of motion that could eventually raise the taxes for all rural ratepayers until they are equal to tax rates in urban Napanee. For some, this is no big deal, but for me, I am very worried about having to pay an additional 32 per cent on my tax bill. For years, council and some people in urban Napanee have
said there is a rift between urban and rural residents in Greater Napanee. I believe this is mostly a myth, but if the Lucas motion passes and ratepayers in the rural area are forced to pay rates equal to urban, then ‘rift’ won’t be a strong enough word to describe the divide and tension between the town and country folk. In 2013, council asked town staff to find an independent company that is qualified to perform a
review of the town’s services in relation to where they are performed and what it costs the taxpayers. Staff found a qualified company and recommended that council hire the company to perform the tasks required. What did council do next? In December of 2014, they withdrew from the service delivery review and abandoned any hope of finding independent information to make informed decisions about taxation
within the municipality. Now councillor Lucas is asking for — get ready — an in-depth Service Delivery Review! He says that the previous request by council didn't include enough criteria for whatever it is he wants to happen. Lucas was on council when the original request and criteria was given to staff. Why didn’t he speak up then and demand that more information was needed from the review? Confusing?
Yeah, I think so too. Something is not right, and this notice of motion is it! It is imperative that all ratepayers in the rural wards contact their elected representatives and ensure that when the time comes for the vote on this motion, their councillor, mayor and deputy-mayor vote in accordance with the wishes of the residents. John Dennis, Greater Napanee
Letter to the Editor
Some tips for handling your garden over winter Don’t throw out your amaryllis bulb even though it has quit blooming. The flowers will wilt but you don’t need a green thumb to see the bulb bloom again; just plant it when the frost is over perhaps in your garden or a sunny flower bed. Right now keep it watered and getting as much sun as possible. When you plant it, leave most of the bulb out of the ground. You’ll see small bulbs form around the base of the mother bulb — let them grow
until roots form to make mature bulbs. Care for that bulb as you would any plant, then before frost dig it up, cut off most of the leaves, shake off the soil and store in a cool spot till the following January. Replant it in a pot and you’ll find it will bloom again. It will please you year after year with its flowers. Do you get rid of your orchids when they quit blooming? What a shame for with modest care they will flower every year. I’ve
learned the hard way how to keep them alive and return to blooming. An orchid likes a good bit of sunlight if it is through a window, even a south one. An east exposure works well. I put all of my orchids on an outside northern ledge of our house in the summer where they only get light. During this period they need more water, while the long hours of light prepares them to bloom during the winter. When you bring them in water accord-
ing to instructions and then lightly spray daily the roots and leaves with water. But don’t let them stand in water for they can’t stand having their feet wet. Orchids like rain water the best of all for that is how they bloomed in their native jungles. During the winter I melt snow for them. One year I killed all my orchids by giving them softened water for apparently there is a residue of salt in it. Then another time I killed some by giving them
too much fertilizer. They would rather have no fertilizer at all and may still produce up to twenty blooms without it. A little bit however guarantees firm green leaves. I’ve also found that replanting sets an orchid back so it you must replant, don’t clean the roots of the previous moss or chips. So good luck with your plants. Roy C. Kenny, Greater Napanee

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago March 3, 1965 n The Selby Cheese Company had a very good showing at the Scottish Dairy Exhibition. The company won top prize, the McLellan Trophy, with its cheddar at the Scottish Dairy Show. Grant Hughes, the owner of the Selby Cheese Company, was informed of the win by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. In addition, the company won the Lovell and Christmas Trophy for the best cheddar and Kraft Foods Special for cheddar. J.L. Baker, the dairy commissioner for Ontario, wired Hughes about the win, adding that “this winning bring credit to yourself and your producers. Also, it is excellent advertising for Ontario cheddar cheese.” n Lennox and Addington County council was considering the possibility of hiring its own municipal dog catcher. Council had entertained the idea two years earlier, but took a pass. However, with reports of loose dogs running around the area, and with the county currently battling an outbreak of rabies, some councillors believed that council should rethink their previous position.
35 Years Ago February 27, 1980 n For a family living near Enterprise, it wasn’t smoke alarm that alerted them to a fire inside their home — it was the crying of one of their children. David and Linda Detlor woke up when they heard their one-year-old daughter crying at around 3 a.m., only to find that their home was on fire. They quickly grabbed their daughter and three-year-old son and got out of the home. The fire had already disrupted the telephone lines, so the Detlors had to travel a quarter of a mile down the road to contact the fire department. The fire completely destroyed the home. n Local telephone customers would soon be sending their bill to a new telephone company. The Community Telephone company announced that it would be selling its assets and holdings to Bell Canada for just under $21 million. Before the sale, the Community Telephone company operated 21 exchanges in Ontario, and served a total of 33,000 telephones. The sale came as the company was seeking to raise its rates for local customers.

It is said that March is the busiest month in the real estate market. Many homeowners are deciding if they should put their home on the market. You may be considering whether to list your home or make renovations that will help make your current home meet your needs. You may be torn between renovating to sell or remodelling your current space to add value and meet your needs. Consider how long you plan on living in your home. If you plan on living in your home for a short time — for five years or less — you should design to sell. If you’re going to live in your home for longer than five years, you should design to stay. Renovating to Stay What stage are you in your life? This will make an impact on your decision to renovate. Is this your first home? Do you have schoolaged children or are you an empty nester? No matter what the stage of life you’re in, you need to plan ahead. Assess your stage of life and look into the future before making major renovation decisions. Consider your budget and where to start. What are your likes and dislikes, your style? Do you prefer traditional, contemporary or somewhere in the middle? Once you have determined your style, make that your guide for the entire renovation. It will determine such things as kitchen/bathroom cabinets, fixtures, flooring and colour options. It’s worth paying professionals for an hour of their time; some may even provide it gratis. These professionals can have a look at your current home, including what an untrained eye may not see and appraise its condition and give you estimates of what the cost of new work may be. If your home was built more than 30 years ago and hasn’t been updated, it may require new wiring or plumbing, a new HVAC system or roof, and better insulation. Consider the level of maintenance you want in your home. Maintenance is key when selecting any new materials or product. Some products and materials are more time consuming and require more care than other products. Even though home owners should base decisions in large measures on enjoyment and not wholly on resale value, it’s smart to have an idea of how changes will affect the house compared with others nearby.

Energy efficient heating and cooling systems are also a major expense that could favour the sale of your home. These upgrades should be considered once the visual improvements are completed. If buyers see that all the hard work has been completed and that they have little if nothing to do but move in, they will be inclined to spend more money. The main difference between renovating your home to stay and designing to sell is the time frame, budget, personal tastes and custom design. If you are choosing to sell your home, the time frame is usually a lot faster to turn around and sell your home. The budget for renovating to stay can be added to as time goes on, where you may have a limited budget when designing to sell your home to make a profit on the sale of your home. Personal tastes will not be a factor if you are planning on selling your home, where you are trying to appeal your home to the largest market of potential buyers. Be sure to consider all your options as you make this choice, weigh all the facts, and seek help from those who could advise you on this important decision.

‘Colourful’ arts workshop Friday Tim Nimigan aims to give artists crash course in colours
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
OCAL artist Tim Nimigan is encouraging other artists to not think in simple blackand-white terms and to be bold colours. That’s the message he’ll be spreading tomorrow when he hosts his ‘Crank Up The Colour’ workshop, from 9 a.m. to noon at L&A Seniors Outreach Services. Open to all painters, the workshop is part of an ongoing series of events organized by the Greater Napanee and Area Arts Association. “It’s really geared at people who have already been painting,” says Nimigan. “It’s not like a beginners workshop per se. They’ve maybe never really had formal lessons about what to do with colour.” With years worth of experience teaching art at the high school level, Nimigan says he quite commonly sees the same trends among amateur artists. They tend to oversimplify when adding colours. “You see where trees are green, sky is blue, snow is white, rocks are grey and the tree trunk is brown,” explains Nimigan. “This (workshop) is to look at other people’s paintings who have lots more colours than that and trying to figure out where they are getting their ideas for colours.”
L
Adam Prudhomme-Staff
Tim Nimigan hopes to help some his fellow artists become more bold in their use of colour in their work. To illustrate his point Nimigan teaches five points he says are ‘concrete’ and easy to understand. “We’re going to take them through a process of doing three paintings in three hours of all the same subject,” said Nimigan, noting it will likely be a landscape scene. “They bring a photo of their choice and they themselves will do three paintings of that photo.” By the second and third attempt, Nimigan says they’ll likely be surprised
at how much braver they are with their colour choices. “I'm not out to change their style to look like my style,” said Nimigan. “I’m out to help with their use of colour.” Most of the workshop will involve painting but Nimigan says there will be a bit of theoretical aspects as well. A familiar face on the local art scene, Nimigan's work ranges from nature scenes to portraits to the ‘Our Town’ cartoon series which appears regularly in
the Napanee Beaver. He recently published a book, Our Town: A View Of Life in a Small Town and Beyond, which is a collection of 10 years worth of his cartoons. He’ll be at Belleville’s Chapters this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. signing copies of the book. The Crank Up The Colour workshop is $20 for GNAAA members and $30 for non-members. Anyone who attends the workshop must bring their own acrylic paint and photo to paint.

A career choice Life is a series of choices. Making a career choice is among the most important in your lifetime. Well, this is what I think anyway. Here is an overview of the opportunities in horticulture as I see them. While I am limited to the space of this article, there are in fact over 260,000 stories out there: one for each person working in horticultural trades in this Canada. The majority of them are happy stories about people who were on another path and ‘discovered’ the magic of horticulture (imagine, being paid for something that you love to do!) while others are less dramatic, like my own. Growing up in the business as a third generation ‘gardener’, it seemed like a natural thing for me to do. The proposition for a career in horticulture can be broken down into the following categories. Take a good look and pass this on to someone who is at a stage in their life where a career choice (or change) is an option. 1. Landscaping The design and installation of gardens, decks, patios and driveways seems straightforward enough. Our post-secondary schools provide many excellent options for anyone who wishes to learn the skills needed to become a professional in this field. But bear in mind that ‘landscaping’ entails so much more than a pickup

truck and a cache of hand tools. Here is a short list of sub-categories for your consideration: Landscape Lighting and Irrigation. As people move onto smaller properties they want to enhance their outdoor living space with lighting that allows them to extend their enjoyment of it. Outdoor lighting can also enhance grounds security. According to Bob Tubby of Arbordale Landscaping, LED lighting is booming. Some landscaping companies are specializing in the field of in-ground irrigation. With in-ground irrigation, many home owners are enjoying the convenience of self-watering systems that allow them more time to golf. Or goof off. Those who learn how to use these systems properly enjoy a better performing garden. Hard-scaping. An industry term that refers to non-plant landscaping. Think of retaining wall systems, interlocking and poured concrete walks and driveways, wooden decks and fences. This can be heavy physical work but there is an element of engineering and creative design also, especially where water features and swimming pools are concerned. Water-scaping. Koi fish ponds, swimming ponds and water falls. I have learned the hard way that this is a specialized business. I had my first pond
installed by the landscaper nine years ago, only to have it torn out and replaced by a specialist (Genoscape Landscaping: http://genoscape.ca/) who fixed all of the problems created earlier.

9. Garden Communicators This is what I am. As you read this, you are indulging my passion for writing about horticulture.
It may seem like a narrow field of endeavour but it might surprise you that there are over 600 members of the Garden Writers Association North America wide. I am not finished: there is work in trade associations, educational facilities, research, green roofs, dry stone walling, sod growing, large tree moving, community gardens, farmers’ markets and horticultural therapy (www.chta.ca/). No doubt I have forgotten a few more: feel free to contact me with your thoughts. And finally, what do successful people in this industry have to say about it? Peter Van Stralen is a recent recipient of the Premier’s Award for Business. He is president of Sunshine brands, providing support to over 100 franchises of The Grounds Guys and The Sprinkler Guys. Peter explains that he is not in the plant business but in the people business. “We hire for character and train for competence. We look for ambitious people who want to make a career in horticulture and we provide them with a clear career path through our GROW program.” He is proactive and, by any standard, very successful. His words provide a fitting wrap for today’s discussion, “Working with great people while caring for living plants and green spaces can be very rewarding.” My own daughter, Heather, chose horticulture when she met the dean of landscape architecture at the University of Guelph.

She was in her second year of studying geography when she took a right turn with her education after a discussion about the L.A. program with Maurice Nelischer, Director of Sustainability at the university. His passion sold her on the idea and she has not looked back. Of the many people who I know in the world of horticulture, there are many refugees who escaped from other professions to work here. Dugald Cameron was a marketing professional and now owns and manages Garden Import, an internationally recognized ‘mail order’ enterprise (recently retired). Allan Kling is a selfemployed landscaper and designer. He is also the very capable volunteer chair of the Toronto Botanical Gardens. He moved from the legal profession to horticulture to enjoy the many benefits. (http://www.urban garden.ca). Susan Antler was an executive in the packaged goods business and now is the executive director of the Compost Council of Canada. A 20-year horticultural refugee who has not aged a bit since making the move. www.compost.org There you go: is there more that you need to hear to be convinced? Perhaps there is a future in horticulture for you.

Staff picks: Little Big Lies Karen Scott, co-ordinator of the Bath and South Fred branches of the County of L&A Libraries, recently enjoyed Little Big Lies by Liane Moriarty. Moriarty, Australian writer of The Husband’s Secret and What Alice Forgot among other women’s fiction novels, has soared in popularity over the past couple years. Little Big Lies, released in this past summer, is her latest. “Big Little Lies is a mystery with a twist,” says Karen. “You know something terrible has happened at a school function, and that someone is dead, but you don’t know who, how, or
whether it was accident or murder, until the end. “The book follows the lives of three women, each at a crossroad in their lives and all of w h o m have a c h i l d starting Coles’ kindergarten in the same class. The voices of Madeline, Celeste and Jane — three very different women in age, circumstance and personality — alternate with other characters, throwing in their two cents at the end of each chapter. I thoroughly
enjoyed getting to know all the characters in this book. On the surface, there were many stereotypes and their stories are told with a good deal of humour – but then we also get taken Notes beneath the surface facades and get to hear their real stories, dealing with bullying, broken marriages, spousal abuse etc. I’m sure we can all see pieces of ourselves in Madeline, Celeste or Jane – or at least know someone we can see in them, and

ncome tax season is a happy time for many people. Those who anticipate a considerable refund on their taxes look forward to having extra money; some individuals even plan to finance big-ticket purchases entirely with their tax refunds. Smart money management can turn a refund check into a nice nest egg or stretch dollars to make the most of this windfall of cash. The following moneymanagement tips can help anyone develop strong saving and spending habits that can pay dividends for years to come. Get organized When looking to make the most of your tax refund, start by organizing your financial documents and getting a grasp on your spending and saving behaviors. Examine your income-to-expenditures ratio to see where the majority of your money is going. It can be difficult to make significant changes with regard to your finances
if you don't have ready access to your financial records and a strong appreciation of how your money is being spent.
Pay off high-interest loans When addressing your finances, take inventory of any highinterest loans, including credit card bills. It will save you more money in the long run to pay off this type of debt as soon as possible. The earlier such debts are eradicated, the less you will ultimately pay in interest. What's more, paying off debt helps establish a better credit record and score, which can make you eligible for lower interest rates in the future. Using a refund to eliminate debt is more beneficial than simply letting the refund sit in the bank, where it's likely to accrue less interest each month than the interest that accrues on your credit accounts with outstanding balances. Investigate programs
savings
It is estimated that customers who don't have an account at a bank or credit union spend, on average, more than $800 at check-cashing businesses each year. Opening up an account with a credit union or bank will immediately save you money on check-cashing fees. Speaking with a banking representative can also provide information about various programs that will enable you to save your tax refund and earn money on it through interest accumulation. In the National Retail Federation's annual Tax Returns Study, 40.2 percent of respondents said they planned to stash some of their refund in savings in 2013. While traditional savings or checking accounts may offer nominal interest rates, longer-term certificate of deposits or money market accounts may yield more interest.

This year marks the fifth annual If Wishes Were Dresses campaign, and to celebrate this achievement, the first-ever open house will take place this spring. Doyles Plaza is hosting If Wishes Were Dresses again this year in Napanee. The open house is set for April 9 from 6-8 p.m. People are encouraged to stop by to drop items off or to book appointments. “This is our first year hosting an open house,� said Kait D. Tuttle, director and founder of If Wishes Were Dresses. “We hope that all our supporters can come by the boutique and any public that are interested in learning more can stop by and see how we operate. Donations will be accepted at the open house, as well volunteers can sign up to help at the boutique and girls can book their appointment.� If Wishes Were Dresses provides dresses free of charge to young ladies in order to attend their Grade 8 graduation or Grade 12 prom, who otherwise would
not have been able to afford these items. “We gladly provide a dress to anyone who feels that purchasing a new one is beyond their means. All appointments are private and 100 per cent confidential,� added Tuttle. Last year If Wishes Were Dresses provided 70 young women in Napanee and Kingston with dresses. Tuttle said the program has continued to grow each year and expects to see the same growth this year. “We have had growth every year. Last year we expanded and included a pop-up boutique in Kingston to answer the growing interest we were receiving from that direction. As we become an established presence in the community we hope that more girls will know of the service we provide and can enjoy their graduation or prom,� said Tuttle. “This will be our second year in Kingston and as our name gets into the community and into the school system more I anticipate doubling our numbers,� she added. The program isn’t just about finding a dress,
explained Tuttle. She said her volunteers do everything they can to provide the entire package: shoes, accessories, and even hair and makeup. She said If Wishes Were Dresses accepts a wide variety of donations in order to help locals graduate looking their best. “We are always in need of formal shoes, all sizes and colours, flat and heeled (as well as) extra large and up sized dresses. We take all donations of formal wear, shoes and accessories,� she said, encouraging both individuals and business owners to get involved. “In Napanee we can also use the donation of hair/makeup services for the girls to give them the complete experience. If any local business is interested in providing items for a goodie bag we will gladly accepted those as well,� Tuttle added. If Wishes Were Dresses is currently booking appointments. To book an appointment or to get involved, contact Tuttle at: ifwishesweredresses@gmai l.com or by phone at: 613483-2430.

Raiders rebound to push Rebels to the brink Napanee steals two on the road

OT goal sinks Hawks in KASSAA semifinals FSS ends successful season
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
t was overtime heartbreak for the NDSS boys hockey team on Monday, as they fell 4-3 to the Frontenac Falcons in the KASSAA semifinals, played at Kingston's Invista Centre. Taylor Stalkie potted a pair of goals while Brendan Hagerman had one, but the Hawks just couldn't hold off the Falcons. Heading into the game the Hawks knew they’d be in tough up against the second ranked 8-1 Falcons. They played them tough, nearly completing the upset and earning a trip to the KASSAA finals to take on Holy Cross. Last Thursday the Hawks advanced to the semifinals with a 4-2 victory over the Sydenham Golden Eagles at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Napanee built a 2-0 after the first and looked to be in cruise control before the Golden Eagles began to mount a comeback. After a 4-on-3 rush goal brought the Golden Eagles to within one, the Hawks settled in for a nervous finish.
I
With the Golden Eagles’ goalie on the bench , the Hawks took control of the puck and flipped in an empty net goal to seal the victory. Stalkie, Colsen Bertrand, Josh Durnan and Ryan Cudd each had goals while Jon Hardy, Cudd, Griffen Conger and Jacob Murphy picked up assists. Jon White earned the win with a solid effort in net. Things got heated late in the third period when Sydenham's Mitch Herron skated hard into White after he froze the puck. Standing up for his goalie, Hawks captain Jeremy Martin dropped the gloves with Herron. Both earned a fighting and match penalty. Though Tuesday’s loss ended their season, the Hawks’ 2014-15 season will go down as a success. They finished the regular season 6-3-1, earning them third place overall in the KASSAA standings. With their semifinal win, the Falcons will now meet the Holy Cross Crusaders this afternoon to battle for the KASSAA title.
Patience and a bit of outside-the-box thinking thrust the Napanee Raiders into the driver’s seat of their Empire B League best-of-seven semifinal series with the Campbellford Rebels. Heading into last night’s Game 5 on home ice the Raiders held a 3-1 edge. Results weren’t known at presstime. They moved to just one win away from a trip to the finals following a 2-1 road win on Tuesday night. The fact that Napanee held a strangle hold on the series was quite the turn of events given how close they were to losing two straight on home ice to open the series. After get-

As seconds continued to tick by, Raiders coach Mike Hartwick bided his time,
waiting for the right time to deploy the extra attacker. “We hadn’t done a good draw all night,” Hartwick said of leaving goalie Tomo Mikuljan on the ice despite the fact there was a face off in the Rebels’ zone with
two minutes left in the third. “Luckily we didn’t (pull the goalie) because they came right out. We just had to wait and we (pulled Mikuljan) off the rush.

Deja vu silver for lady Hawks hockey team NDSS falls in KASSAA finals to HC for second straight year
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Mere inches was all that separated the NDSS Golden Hawks girls hockey team from KASSAA gold on Monday, as they were blanked 1-0 by the Holy Cross Crusaders at Kingston’s Invista Centre. Holy Cross scored their goal midway through the first and then weathered a relentless Hawks attack to best their rivals for a second straight year. NDSS made the Crusaders sweat at the end as they were awarded two power-plays and went with an extra attacker for the final two minutes of the game. Despite a couple of great scoring chances, the Hawks just couldn't find the back of the net. The final buzzer sounded amid a mad scramble in front of the Crusader net. Napanee’s top scorers of Logan Conger and Brianna Gaffney each fired solid shots but were denied by the Crusader defense. Hawks goalie Izzy McDonald turned in a strong outing, limiting a potent Crusader offense to just a single, tough bounce goal. “Regardless of the outcome, I wanted them to leave it all on the ice and they did,” said Hawks head coach Chad Miller. “I was

We hit the iron twice in the first three to five minutes. They were very even teams and it could have very easily been 2-1 us.” As the KASSAA regular season wore on, it became increasingly clear that these two clubs were destined to meet in the finals for a rematch of last season. Both teams went undefeated in the regular season while skating to a draw in their two previous meetings, once in season play the other in a tournament. The two teams have become accustomed to
playing for the KASSAA crown, now meeting in three straight gold medal games. Napanee claimed the crown back in 2012. “They got one bounce, we didn’t,” said Miller. “It could have easily gone the other way. That’s what you want, two even teams and see how it works out.” The loss was a disappointing end to the high school careers of McDonald, team captain Conger and Suzie Brazda, who plays defense. Conger powered the offense all season long while McDonald and Brazda were part of a very strong defensive core. If
there’s a bright side to their departure it’s that there are only three players not projected to return in 2015-16. “We have six Grade 9s in the line up, which is fantastic,” said Miller. “It bolds well for next year and you never know what Grade 8s are coming up. We only had three Grade 12s on this team so we really didn’t have a senior team at all this year.” Napanee advanced to the finals by cruising to a 5-0 win over Sydenham in the semifinals last Thursday on their home ice of the Strathcona Paper Centre.

In a very tightly contested series, the Firelight Major Bantams took Port Perry to five games in the OMHA quarterfinals. Starting with 41 teams in the Major Bantam A division, the Stars were one of five remaining teams, until their Sunday night loss, 5-1 to the Predators. In their third game in as many nights, and tied in points 4-4, the boys played some desperate hockey, in this winnertake-all contest. Unfortunately, a few early miscues put them in a 3-0 deficit, before Brendan Hagerman buried one on a set-up by Bruce Dunham. Unable to muster more, they fell 5-1. Heading into the weekend, the Stars had a win and a tie, and played a solid defensive game. Friday, the boys came out strong, but were down 1-0 after a period. In the second, Adam Doyle scored, with assists by Kiel Benton and Ethan Winter. The visitors made it 2-1 for the Predators on the power play, with 1.5 seconds left in the second. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the stars for the locals however, as they removed Finn Pierce for an extra attacker late in the game only to allow an empty net tally. Both squads exhibited stellar defense in Game 4. Down a goal after one, Doyle again got the equalizer, from Benton and Winter at the end of a power play. The boys continued to press, but it was still 1-1 heading into overtime. Bailey Maracle was called on to make several key stops. The Stars continued to outplay their hosts with an 82 shot advantage in the extra frame, but it ended knotted at 1-1, leading to the dramatic game 5. The Firelights now move on to face Cobourg in the Lakeshore semi-finals on Friday night at the SPC at 8 p.m. n The Napanee Country Traditions Novice Stars travelled to Port Perry on

Atom A Stars entered last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Whitby White with a 2-0 lead in the second round of the Lakeshore Playoffs. The Wildcats proved they were still a force to be reckoned with though, as they opened the scoring. Whitby added another goal in the second, before Gavin Brooks got the Stars on the board. Unfortunately, the Wildcats lit up the third, and added four more for a 6-1 win. On Saturday the Stars were in Whitby, looking to redeem themselves. Once again, Whitby showed how hungry they were, and started the scoring in the first. The Stars fought back in the second, with Taylor Gilmour and Aiden HallerBrady each finding the back of the net. Whitby added another, which was then answered back by one from Ty Kemp. Despite numerous attempts in an exciting third period, including pulling their goalie with 45 seconds left in the game, the Wildcats were unable to get the puck past goaltender Holden Breault, and the Stars pulled off a 3-2 win to clinch this Lakeshore series, to advance to the semi-finals in a round robin with Quinte West and Whitby Blue. n The Napanee Chiropractic.com Minor Peewees earned a 3-3 tie at home to Kingston in Lakeshore action. Dylan Bailey scored on a setup by Caden Holmes, and Connor Brooks made it 2-0 assisted by Josh Reid and John Hearns. The Kingston replied with three, but late in the third, Holmes was able to get the equalizer, unassisted to make it 3-3. Friday in Whitby, the Stars played another solid game in a tight defensive struggle, but were edged 21. On Saturday, on Home Hardware ice, the boys played another strong game, their third in three nights, in a hard fought 3-2 loss to Whitby White.

Friday to take on the top seeded Predators in their OMHA East quarterfinals. The team put in a valiant effort, but came out on the wrong side of an 11-0 score. On Sunday, at the Strathcona Paper Centre, the Predators again blanked the Stars, 6-0. n The Major Atom Stars sat idle on the weekend having closed out their quarter-final with Clarington on Feb. 18, sweeping the series three straight. The mid week tilt began with both teams having opportunities to score, but at the four-minute mark the visitors took the lead. Fifteen seconds later, the Stars were able to equalize when Reid Lambert scored on a deflection off of a Torosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skate. The period continued with a majority of the play in the Toros end, and with a minute and a half remaining in the first, Lambert scored his second on a delayed penalty. The Stars didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there when in the dying seconds of the opening period Ben Albright scored to take a two-goal lead. The scoring continued for the Stars as Albright potted his second when he battled the Toros d-man to the net and went bar down on a backhand. The momentum of the game changed mid way through the second, as the locals took a series of minors, and the Toros scored three power play goals to even the score at 44. With all of the momentum on their side the visitors tried to break the tie and extend the series, but the Stars who broke the deadlock when Logan Lalande scored on the backhand and one minute later Payton Clarke closed out the series with a goal from the right point. Assisting for the Stars was Braden Bannon with two, Jakob Dacosta, Albright, Lambert and Mason Arthur all with one each. Ryan Aldridge backstopped the Stars in the series clincher. n The Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IDA Minor

Down 3-0, the team found their legs in the third. Isaac Uens scored from Dylan Bailey, and Ryan Cunningham netted one, assisted by Greg Mills to get within a goal, but that is how it would end. n The Napanee Minor Bantam Stars ended their postseason with a pair of losses. The first came last Wednesday on home ice. Despite outplaying Quinte West for virtually the entire game, the Stars couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put one past the QW goalie. Quinte West, meanwhile, had precious few opportunities, but made the most of one of them to escape with a 1-0 win. Netminder Cole East was stung with the loss. On Sunday night on the road against the Whitby White Wildcats, the Stars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; already hit hard by late-season injuries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; simply ran out of gas in a 5-3 loss. The Wildcats erased Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-2 second-period lead with three unanswered in the final frame. Cal DuChene scored a pair for the Stars, while Josh Cudd got a goal and an assist. Liam Wilkinson earned a helper. Despite the loss, Murray Craig had a solid outing for the Stars between the pipes. Napanee Crunch Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been busy past couple of weeks for the Atom Crunch, defeating Lindsay in first round playoff action and advancing to second round against Clarington Flames. The Crunch played the Flames Friday night and came out on top with a 4-3 win. Scoring goals were Nikki Weese (two), Mackenzie Tyner and Adrianna Maclean. They met again last night in Clarington for Game 2. Provincial Playdowns find the Crunch in a home and home series versus Kingston and Brockville with the top two teams then playing a four point series. The Crunch defeated Kingston 3-0 last week with goals from Hailey Thompson and Kristen Sutton (two). Earning assists were Tyner Weese and Gracie Hughes. This passed weekend they met Brockville both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday found the girls in a back and forth battle win the final result being a 3-3 tie. Finding the back of the net were Thompson, Tyner and Weese while earning helpers were Thompson and Weese. Sunday, Makenna Marlow stood tall in net but the puck wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bouncing their way with the Crunch falling 20. The Atoms are now playing a four point series against Brockville to qualify for Provincials.

HAROLD ASSELSTINE
In memory of a dear husband who left me 2 years ago. April 10, 1942-March 4, 2013 No morning dawns, no night returns, That I do not think of you. I see you in the sunshine, And when the day is through, I feel you in the warmth Of a summer breeze too, I had a chance to tell you, Before you slipped away, That I loved you unconditionally Each and every day. No one can replace you, That’s impossible to do, When grief becomes unbearable, I close my eyes and come visit you, But know that you’re not there Because absent from the grave, Present with the Lord, God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart. Forever a day I will love you Until we meet again At that mansion in the sky. Love forever, your loving wife Darlene
ASSELSTINE - In memory of Harold, who left us 2 years ago, March 4, 2013. No one knows how much we miss you, No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered since we lost you, Life has never been the same, In our hearts your memory lingers Sweetly, tender, fond and true, There’s not a day goes by dear Dad, Poppa and great-Poppa That we do not think of you. Angela, Annette, Neil, Kathy, Amanda, Shawn, Nickki, Alex, Claire, Eric, Dylan, Amanda, Alexis and Brook, Shane and Courtney.

Our lives changed two years ago when you passed away. To hear your voice and see you smile is our wish every day. You’re in our thoughts and needing you and missing you will never go away.
We love and miss you very much. Elaine, Wendy, Rob and Families
RANDS - Terry James July 19, 1967-February 21, 2012 I thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday And days before that too, I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, All I have are memories And your picture in a frame, Your memory is my keepsake With which I’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart. We miss you more each day. Love, Steve and Julia Rands. SONNEVELD - Maria June 15, 1945-March 1, 2014 A year ago we lost you, But now you are not in pain, With every moment that passes by, It’s in our hearts where you remain, The sweetness of the morning dew, The sparkling of the snow, The rainbows in the darkest sky, We know that that’s all you, We see you in the roses, We know that you are here, The dewdrops on the petals, Let us know that you are near, We think about you every day, Missing you more and more, Wishing you were back with us, But in our hearts is where you stay. Leenita Babcock Always loved and never forgotten, your loving husband Leen and children, Sue, Debbie, Rick, Leenita and families.

On April 1st, 2015, the Frontenac Community Mental Health and Addiction Services and the Lennox and Addington Addiction and Community Mental Health Services will be amalgamating into a dynamic new single entity, to be called Addiction and Mental Health Services- Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (AMHS-KFLA). This new organization will provide efficient, streamlined, and effective addiction and mental health services to clients and caregivers throughout the Lennox, Addington, and Frontenac counties, as well as the City of Kingston. With 250 staff and a budget of $19 million, AMHSKFLA will be responsive to those it serves, while ensuring it meets the overall objectives established by its Board and the LHIN. This new entity is now seeking its inaugural Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to guide the organization through this transition and beyond.
Dedicated to the design and development of a regional system of integrated addiction and mental health services along the continuum of care and across a person’s life journey, the new CEO will provide strategic vision and leadership in the integration of clinical and operational elements of the new AMHS-KFLA. He or she will focus on developing an operational culture of excellence in client care that eliminates duplication of service, ensures ease of access for those in need, and provides a seamless continuum of care for those it serves. Reporting to a new Board of Directors, and working collaboratively with senior staff, the CEO will take responsibility for creating the solid foundation for an important and sustainable addiction and mental health organization. As an ideal candidate, you have a passion for addiction and mental health, and a wealth of senior experience in the management of complex health organizations, coupled with an advanced degree in a relevant field. Strategic by nature, and a big picture thinker, you recognize opportunities and challenges, and have the ability to develop a roadmap to navigate both. A skilled negotiator and facilitator, you have managed significant change that carried high levels of human resources, operational, and financial implications. Experience with labour relations and property management are a significant asset. You possess outstanding communication skills and a demonstrated ability to engage with a wide range of stakeholders. As a community champion you bring unquestionable integrity, honesty and are recognized as a leader and motivator of others.

RAIDERS | Club poised to return to Empire B League finals for first time since 2011 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 Keenan (Murray) brought it up to the red line and fired it in and we went off the rush. I didn't want to do it too early, I knew there was still some time. I'm glad it paid off.” Had the Raiders opted for an empty net off the draw the Rebels likely would have dumped in an easy goal and sealed a 2-0 win. Instead they waited for the right moment and Brandon Nadeau was in the right place to dive onto a big rebound and tuck the puck past Rebels’ goalie Cole Mahoney and keep the game alive.
“It wasn’t pretty, he just jammed at it into the net,” said Hartwick. “That’s what you have to do to score in the playoffs.” Prior to that tying goal it seemed nothing the Raiders could do was good enough to solve Mahoney. Riley Steeves sealed the win with an overtime goal eight minutes into the fourth frame. By the time overtime rolled around the Raiders were in complete control, outshooting the Rebels 10-5 before potting the game winner. Napanee continued to ride that momentum Sunday night in Campbellford, posting a 6-2 victory.
Despite the final score the game was tightly contested for the first 40 minutes. Brodie Butt got the visitors on the board just 4:20 into the game and Josh Murphy doubled the lead 10 minutes later. The Rebels answered back with a goal late in the first and another midway though the third. Murphy put the Raiders ahead for good in the third, scoring just 50 seconds after the opening draw. Murray pushed the lead to 4-2 and Steeves capped the win with a pair of goals. Steeves has upped his offensive output in the playoffs, potting three

High school students’ design skills put to test Council eyes solutions to Teens called on to plan new play space BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
A select group of Napanee District Secondary School and Ernestown Secondary School’s most creative students have been hand-selected for a unique challenge. As part of a pilot program titled ICE —Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship — the group has been tasked with designing a naturalized play space for Napanee’s Lamplighter Preschool. On Friday the group of 29 students convened at the Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives to discuss the project. “We’ve brought them together to talk about all three principles of ICE, but we’ve added a unique dimension that’s a little bit outside the ministry’s mandate,” said Mike Sewell, program leader for Specialist High Skills Major for Limestone District School Board. “We’ve added an actual client.” That client, Lamplighter, has expressed an interest in updating their current play space. Now in partnership with Lennox and Addington’s Economic Development department, the students are working on designs for the new play space. If they can get enough students to fully commit and work some deals with local contractors, they could get to work on renovating the play space this summer. “They have a unique need,” Sewell said of Lamplighter, which is located at 186 East St. “They need to renovate their current play space. That fits in nicely with our curriculum being
offered at both high schools.” To get ideas for what their designs should incorporate, they went right to the source: the toddlers at Lamplighter. “They told us what they would like to see if they could build their own playground,” said Sewell. “Our focus isn’t going to be on metal and steel, it’s going to be rocks, trees and grass.” They’ll be working with local landscapers when it comes to mapping out their designs. Admittedly, Sewell acknowledges there’s a lot of work to do before any actual construction begins. “It’s ambitious, but I think from what I’ve seen it’s doable,” he added. To help sharpen their problem solving and designing skills, the students were given paper, spaghetti and marshmallows and told to build the tallest structure possible. The result was some interesting designs. In the immediate future, the ICE program aims to help out Lamplighter. In the bigger picture however the hope is that some of the students studying the program will pursue their own entrepreneurial businesses down the road. Those that are interested will have the chance to work with L&A’s Economic Development team to explore Summer Company funding for their own businesses. The government program provides funding for students who operate their own start up over the summer months before returning to school in the fall. Just a pilot project for now, Sewell says if it proves to be successful, the ICE program could be adapted into other school boards across the province.
snow-clearing problems BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
In an effort to keep driveways and walkways clear this winter, the Town of Greater Napanee is looking to pair up those willing to clear snow with those seeking snow removal. Some residents have voiced their concerns with Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas and he brought those concerns to council earlier this month. “Is there something we can do as a municipality that we can help register people wanting snow removal and set them up with people wanting to offer the service?” Lucas asked council. “We have an aging population. We do a wonderful job, plowing the streets and I have no problem with that. The lady I spoke to, she said, ‘Is there anyone that needs to do community work or has
time off work?’ she had some really great ideas,” Lucas added. The municipality has since provided a link on its Facebook page and website, which leads to the ‘Seniors Managing Independent Living Easily’ program. The aim is to pair those willing to offer snow removal with those in need of the service. The link can be found at w w w. v o n . c a / s m i l e / p r o grams_info.aspx. The SMILE program is geared toward helping seniors to live at home rather than in seniors’ homes. Those interested in either removing snow or looking for help with snow removal can go to the website or contact the municipality for more information. “I think this is good,” added Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester, agreeing with Lucas the municipality should include more access on Facebook, the municipal website, or other forms of social media.
She noted that assistance is needed, and could be offered, year-round by volunteers. “Several municipalities… have a service that they call Snow Angels and some people do it for exercise… and some of them are paid. It’s not just for the snow removal; it’s also for leaves because a lot of people have a hard time getting their leaves out. I think it’s something worth investigating,” Isbester said. Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser suggested the municipality contact local students looking to complete their 40 hours of community service before graduation. “If a list of properties were made available to the high school, then maybe those students would take those as opportunities to get their volunteer hours,” Kaiser said. More information is available on the Town of Greater Napanee website under Senior Services.
