Greater Napanee

Budget hike likely BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

The Town of Greater Napanee council members have their work cut out for them in this year’s 2013 budget. With a 1.96 per cent increase in the proposed operating budget and almost $120,000 worth of funding requests that will not be filled, council will have a lot of difficult decisions to make. The 2013 operating budget was presented to council at $17,609,377, which is 1.96 per cent higher than the 2012 budget. Infrastructure services account for about 47 per cent of the budget, at $8,218,002. Police services comes in at just over $4,000,000 and is about 24 per cent of the budget, while CAO/administrative services is about 12 per cent of the budget, at $2,191,074. Salaries have been reduced in the budget by about $30,000 with the removal of three summer student positions. When presenting the budget, council was informed the municipality is relying on about $450,000 in surplus funds. Each year, council uses approximately this amount in surplus monies to balance the budget.

Staff Reporter

Greater Napanee Mayor Gordon Schermerhorn received a Diamond Jubilee Medal last week, which he said will represent not his accomplishments, but what all of council and the residents of Greater Napanee have accomplished together.

“This is just a great honour for me to accept this award,” said Schermerhorn, accepting the award from Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery, who presented the award on behalf of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The FCM nominated Schermerhorn for the medal. The medals have been handed out to prominent

Canadians to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Schermerhorn said he had some “reservations” about accepting the award after some Renfrew and area mayors returned their awards, as they felt others were more deserving of the award. These actions received poor publicity, explained Schermerhorn; therefore, he decided to keep the award on behalf of Greater Napanee council and the municipality’s residents. “I share this with council and all the members of the Town of Greater Napanee. It’s not just me as the mayor that does great things in this municipality, it’s all of us residents and so I certainly appreciate the award and thank everyone for their support over the number of years,” he said. “I’m not sending this one back, it is going to hang down in the foyer of the Town Hall for everyone to see and I certainly appreciate the Federation of Municipalities for nominating me and receiving this award. It’s a great honour for me and I certainly appreciate it.”

RELAY | Rebuilding year for event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Since then, Murphy has been helping the family work through the youngster’s health challenges. And, he was with Tyler when he met Brian Price, an Olympic medallist as coxswain with the Canadian men’s eights rowing team. Price — himself a survivor of childhood cancer — visited with McDonald at Shoeless Joe’s in Napanee. By chance, the McDonalds and Murphy also met Tammy Pigeon, a server at the restaurant and the mother of childhood cancer survivor Joshua, a familiar face at Napanee’s Relay for Life events. According to Murphy, it was through Pigeon that McDonald became involved in the Napanee Relay event.

“On the way home (from the Shoeless Joe’s meeting), Tyler got talking about it, and he said, ‘We should help Relay out,’” said Murphy. “The funny thing was, about a month later, he must have known that this was for a good thing, but he didn’t quite understand what it meant. He asked me, ‘What is research, anyhow?’” Murphy underscored why research is so important in the fight against cancer at Sunday’s kick-off event. “Eighty-five per cent of funding requests (to the Canadian Cancer Society), they can’t fund,” said Murphy. “A cure for different cancers could lay in that 85 per cent they can’t afford to fund.” The Napanee Relay For Life committee — which is

in the midst of a ‘rebuilding year’ and a large turnover of executive members — is hoping that, with McDonald’s help, they’ll be able to reach or exceed their fundraising target of $107,000 at the 2013 event. As always, the Napanee Relay For Life will take place at Gibbard Field at NDSS. Walkers will round the track from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on June 14. Co-chairs Michelle Way and Saralynn Morris said that many of the popular events such as the ‘Dinner under the Stars’ and theme laps will be back again next year, along with a few improvements. Last year, the event raised $129,000. A total of 40 teams and 399 participants took part.

BUDGET | Cuts in some areas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Council was told if the 2012 budget comes in with no surplus, the municipality will need to either come up with another $450,000 in funds or cut $450,000 from the budget in order to maintain the proposed budget provided last week. Council will also be faced with choosing which

grant requests will be funded in 2013. There have been 11 grant requests, accounting for $131,400 and council only has $12,000 funds allotted. This is down by $600 from 2012. The largest grant request has been made by Loyalist College for $100,000, while Deseronto Transit and the Community Living L&A Gala made

the smallest requests, each for $1,000. Requests have also been made by Hospice Lennox and Addington, Wall of Remembrance, the Allan Macpherson House, and Bay of Quinte Tourism, to name a few. Council held the budget meeting last Thursday. The next Greater Napanee council meeting is scheduled for March 12.

EDITORIAL

Picturing Our Community

Electoral reform back in news n interesting undercurrent in the Liberal leadership campaign is the debate over electoral reform. To be sure, it hasn’t been in the forefront of that race, but it has been an important element, particularly since one of the candidates, MP Joyce Murray, is suggesting that the Liberal Party and the NDP and Green Party — the ‘progressive’ parties — temporarily cooperate in the next election in order to dislodge the ruling Conservatives and implement an electoral reform package. That package would include a preferential ballot or some form of proportional representation — something to replace the current ‘first-past-the-post’ system. Electoral reform does not have a great track record over the past decade. Attempts to change the electoral system in both British Columbia and here in Ontario failed to win adequate popular support, and the status quo was maintained. There’s really no reason to believe a federal electoral-reform attempt would be any more successful. But as we’ve argued before, it’s always a good thing to talk about how the system works, and if it could be made to work better. Of course, those who support the status quo suggest it’s more of a case of sour grapes than a genuine desire to improve the electoral system. They don’t like the government, so they change the ground rules to turf them out. They’ve got a point: we’re sure there is a great deal of partisan motivation behind the reforming push. That said, notwithstanding any partisan motivations, the FPTP does have a clear shortcoming: it does not accurately reflect the will of the electorate. As Murray points out in her policy proposal, the Conservative Party won majority control of the government — essentially giving them free rein for the next four year — with the support of 40 per cent of voters (and less than one-quarter of Canadians). That’s been reflected in previous majority governments too — even those won by the Liberals. Why wouldn’t we want to change it up to ensure that the people who end up running the government better reflect the political sentiments of the people voting (or not voting) for them? Well, stability is one reason. Majority government are (generally) more stable than minority governments. That said, we’re certainly not comfortable in saying that the ‘stability’ argument is argument enough for the status quo, if the status quo is inherently undemocratic (or at least not as democratic as proportional representation or preferential ballots). To be sure, it’s unlikely the status quo will change. Murray’s a long shot to win the leadership (although her stance could earn her a popularity bump), and even if she were to win, obstacles remain — not the least of which is good, old-fashioned political inertia. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about it, however.

Letter to the Editor

Councillor concerned with at-large voting The issue of elections at large in stone mills township has once again reared its head and I feel it is only fair the other side of the argument is at least understood. During the last election approximately 51 per cent of voters voted for elections at large in Stone Mills Township. However, not enough people voted in the election to validate the result. Newburgh and Sheffield (Wards 1 and 2, respectively) clearly voted against elections at large with Camden (Ward 3) voting for it. I have no problem running at large, and in fact will run at large if this is forced on us. However, there are three major problems with elections at large: 1. Geography: Stone Mills is almost 65 kilometers from end to end. What if all the councillors come from the south or north of the municipality? Currently, the representatives of Stone Mills are broken up almost perfectly to represent the entire township. Due to the immense size of the township, it would be like living in Belleville and expecting someone from Kingston to have knowledge of your area, and driving 65 km to deal with an issue. It simply is too great a distance.

2. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. The current ward system is working perfectly. I was elected in Newburgh but represent the entire township. I have received calls for assistance or information from virtually every area of Stone Mills. I always deal with the issues regardless of where someone lives. 3. It’s not what people want, it’s only what the biggest ward wants. Camden has almost 4,000 people compared to about 800 in Newburgh and about 2,200 in Sheffield. If an election is held at-large it would appear obvious where most councillors would then get elected. About 70 per cent of the population live within 10 minutes of the Napanee River in the south of the township. I sent out a quarterly newsletter to the residents of Newburgh and I let everyone know this issue was again before council. I received not one call in support of elections at large. Not one. However, I received several calls and emails supporting keeping our ward system in place.

COMMENT / 7

B E AV E R

The allure of ‘industrial chic’ An interior design trend that is becoming quite common is this idea of ‘Industrial Chic’. What is this trend? Looking back in time, it stemmed from the Industrial Revolution, when society shifted away from handcrafted items produced in the home or village. Household goods, textiles, and a variety of parts and products could now be made by machine, in a factory setting. Mass production made goods more affordable, which increased demand. More factories were built to support the continued expansion of these products throughout the 19th century. Things shifted during the 20th century as many developing nations were capable of mass producing products at a much lower wage rate. Transportation now made it possible to ship items beyond the city limits. Many of these once-booming factories were abandoned, as the goods they produced were made elsewhere, and the population of major cities decreased as families moved to suburbia. Eventually these abandoned buildings would be repurposed as loft living and studio spaces. These abandoned neighborhoods were neglected, so rent was exceptionally affordable. These spaces offered high ceilings, large windows, as well as great acoustics, Not to mention the interesting structural elements, such as exposed brick, and ductwork. Industrial Chic can also be understood as coming from a perspective know as ‘shabby chic’ design; back to the days when things were made to last. Items might get a few dings and scratches but they would still be passed from generation to generation still in perfectly usable condition. The industrial look has more emphasis on metal and

strong lines. Industrial chic combines the idea of taking items from the past and using them in the present. The items tend to be old and sometimes

Merola Tahamtan

Design Time rusty, often made of metal, use of reclaimed and replica furniture, and factory-style influences. Modern and contemporary industrial pieces work so well alongside original, reclaimed and vintage designs. Going back to the abandoned buildings, some buildings are structurally unstable and require demolition, but numerous items within the building can be salvaged. These are unique components in good condition that are very attractive, and great in industrial chic design. Doors, windows, mantels, stairways, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, hardware, fencing, brick, wood, stone, tile, machinery, valves, gears, pulleys, church pews, showcases, workbenches, industrial furniture all might be available. Many of these items were constructed of sturdy materials such as metal or concrete which is why they are still serviceable today. The brick, stone and wood that was used to construct

these buildings is so aged and worn by time it has developed a rich patina. The gears and other mechanical devices are often intricate or oversized, and can be used to create wall art or accessories. Using these reclaimed treasures as components has resulted in an abundance of creative projects and useful items. Concern for the environment continues to increase. Architectural and industrial salvage provides clever solutions for several of the issues. The industrial look doesn’t suit every homeowner’s taste; however, for those converting a warehouse or an urban flat, this style may be ideal with its clean lines, its functional minimalism and its focus on stainless steel fittings, and wood, stone or poured concrete surfaces. There are many ways this style can be incorporated into your interior designfrom furniture and home accessories to wall coverings and funky lighting. Industrial looking pieces can look a bit severe on their own, but when teamed with recycled timbers, fine ceramics and a natural palette, the look becomes softer and the beauty of utility backs in the contrast. The huge contrast between industrial and traditional is what makes it work. This sort of stylistic contrast works when interspersed throughout your home, rather than concentrated in a single room. Natural flooring is the way to go with industrial chic. Leave stone or brickwork exposed, or paint with muted colours such as putty, stone, or off-white. Use an eggshell finish, which is less reflective. Go with vintage factory lighting in a polished steel, painted enamel, glass or copper. It will be a one-of a kind, giving a truly

unique look. A table made from wooden planks, with stainless steel/metal chairs immediately gives you a central focus. Distressed painted furniture is another way to add industrial chic to your space. Use items not for their original purpose are the key to the industrial look. Used tins cans work as herb pots, municipal trolleys for bookshelves, old army ammunition boxes for coffee tables and storage. (This works great. Although I’m not going after the industrial chic look in my house, I have used the army box as a coffee table in my living roomgreat for storage. It worked perfect when my kids were young — no need to worry about glass or sharp corners and it is the perfect height for them, plus I have gotten so many compliments on it in my room). Oversized accessories such as huge wall clocks, lamps, or artwork work well in this space. Use retro avant-garde posters of movies, or commercials of the past century. The contrast is important in textures and sensa-

tions as well, so it is always a good idea to add comfortable textiles and rich colours such as velvet, damask, and chenille. An old leather chair, with a woven wool or mohair blanket, lessens the feel of coldness and detachment in these environments. Check out flea markets and salvage yards, or local auctions for fun, playful and unexpected industrial items. Once you have found some inexpensive, unique items, use your imagination to restore and ‘up-cycle’ your finds. The key is to make sure the pieces you choose create an atmosphere and don’t just take up space. The basics of this fantastic style are simple: mix nat-

ural materials such as timber, with coatings and industrial inspired accessories of cement, rusted iron, and tempered glass. Industrial chic celebrates the ingenuity, creativity, and flexibility of the human mind to create something new and useful out of something old and abandoned.

LETTER FROM PAGE 1 In conclusion, 65 kilometers is simply too much area to not break up into wards. The current system works just fine and should not be changed — and most importantly, the people don’t want the change. I urge everyone to contact our reeve and Camden councillors to express your beliefs on this issue I know I believe the democratic process should be followed and Stone Mills should remain unchanged with regard to its electoral system. Kevin G. Wagar, Stone Mills Councillor, Ward 1 (Newburgh)

Bohemian waxwings: Bird nomads Don’t be surprised if you are driving through the village of Wellington and you see a massive flock of birds fly across the street in front of you. They are not starlings or blackbirds or something else that is generally quite common. Doubtless, these will be waxwings. The majority, however, will be something special, a bird that looks like a waxwing, but is a little bit different. These are not the usual common garden variety cedar waxwings we are accustomed to seeing occasionally in our backyards, although there may be a few in amongst them. Upon closer examination, these are noticeably different - larger, greyer and with a peculiar voice which collectively sounds like hundreds of nestlings calling for food; they do not have the fine, thin, lispy notes of the cedar waxwing. When viewed from underneath, the rufous-red under tail coverts clearly separate these birds from the more common cedar waxwings. These birds are Bohemian waxwings, and eastern Ontario is experiencing blizzards of them this winter. In the Quinte region, many seem concentrated in the Wellington area where there are numerous shrubs and trees with

frozen fruit still attached. While the more familiar cedar waxwing nests right across Ontario, it isn’t every year we get to see its larger Bohemian cousin. That’s because they nest in northern Ontario - in fact, as far north as a bird can get without crossing over into northern Manitoba. They like the river banks along the open muskegs of the Hudson Bay Lowlands and it is there they seek out nesting habitat, and feed on the native berries that grow nearby. However, things go awry when the pantry shelves become bare. Like another northern species, the redpoll who has responded this year to a shortage of birch seeds, and has travelled to our area in search of food, so it has been with the Bohemian waxwing. Last summer’s relentless drought has resulted in a poor crop of native mountain-ash berries in much of northern Ontario this winter and this has forced Bohemian waxwings to wander both south and east this winter. While here, they will munch on the tiny frozen apples of flowering crab and will exploit any European buckthorn berries they can find that haven’t already been consumed by wintering robins. The movement of both

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles redpolls and Bohemian waxwings are only part of a mass movement of northern avian residents this winter as they leave their normal haunts and check out the seed and berry restaurants in this part of the province. Pine grosbeaks are also here in small groups as they, too, choose mountain ash berries as their staple diet. And very few people, even casual observers who normally don’t make it a point to look for birds, can’t help but see a barred owl or two this winter. There’s a lot of stuff out there this winter. Expert birder Ron Pittaway of Minden in his bird population

predictions had this to say about the Bohemian waxwing population this winter. “Expect a flight this winter because the mountain ash berry crop in the boreal forest was affected by drought. Even though some areas have large crops, many berries are hard with low moisture content. Farther south, Bohemians will be attracted to the usually abundant buckthorn berries because European mountain ash and ornamental crabapple crops are generally low and of poor quality.” For most northern birds, once they find a food source, they will usually hang around all winter, and this is what they have done in this Prince Edward County village on Lake Ontario. Wellington resident Sydney Smith of Narrow Street has been keeping an eye on them as they come and go, sometimes in small groups, other times in large flocks such as the estimated 250 that descended on her street two weekends ago. Bohemian waxwings tend to be the nomads of the bird world, and wander all over the countryside exploiting food sources as they find them. In 2000, during a similar irruption, they actually outnumbered cedar

waxwings, and flocks numbering more than 1,000 were routinely seen in the Picton and Napanee areas. Because they will join flocks of cedar waxwings and travel the countryside together, they make the job of determining accurate population counts difficult. Other times, they remain aloof in flocks of their own. How long they will hang around this winter is uncertain. Generally by the end of March and into April, their thoughts turn to pairing up and nesting, and will gradually return to the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Bird feeder operators have no need to worry about what to offer them while they are here; Bohemian waxwings very seldom have any interest in feeders, preferring instead to dine on any available fruit still hanging from trees. And when you think about it, we probably wouldn’t want 500 to 1,000 waxwings as daily guests at our feeders anyway!

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 65 Years Ago March 3, 1948 n A Dorland teen died when the car he was driving over the ‘ice bridge’ between Adolphustown and Glenora went into a hole in the ice. Investigators believe that the car Edward John was driving didn’t become completely submerged, but because the exhaust pipe was underwater, it caused fumes to enter the car, and caused the young driver to be overcome. A commercial fisherman discovered the car in the ice the next morning, too late for a rescue to take place. n A 39-year-old veteran was killed when he tried to climb aboard a moving passenger train but slipped off in the attempt. Henry Goslin is believed to have been trying to jump onto the train — which was travelling about 15 miles an hour when the accident happened — when he fell underneath the wheels of the train and died before medical treatment arrived. Two passenger trains were stopped at the Napanee station at the time of the mishap. Witnesses on the one train saw him cross the tracks to get to the other train as it was pulling out of the station.

35 Years Ago March 1, 1978 n Scott Finlay of Strathcona was fighting for his life after a devastating crash during a championship skiing competition at Lake Louise in Alberta. Finlay was making a bid to join the Canadian Ski Team when the accident took place. It was believed that Finlay lost control as he was trying to avoid a bump on the course, somersaulting backwards and landing on his head. Finlay, 21, had been a lifelong skier, and as a teenager turned heads with his skills in skiing competitions around North America. n Members of Greater Napanee council were split on whether or not to hire a new assistant recreation director for the municipality. One council member said that expanding the number of employees was a non-starter for him. “Just how far could we go?” asked at Reeve Ernest Marshall a council meeting. Deputy-Reeve Graham Strong said that an assistant director could look at expanding programs to underserviced groups, such as seniors. “We over-emphasize the importance of the arena,” he told council.

Work is continuing at the old Napanee Gas Company building on the Napanee River waterfront. The structure was worse for wear (inset) before the restoration was undertaken.

Old gas company building given striking transformation BY CHARLES BEALE SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER massive exhaust hood for a gas grill sits covered in plastic warding off construction dust inside the old stone edifice on 96 Water St. Tarps, plywood barriers and scaffolding envelope what was the home of the Napanee Gas Company in 1876. Now, a complete transformation is underway to create the new home of the Waterfront River Pub and Terrace and the Waterfront Sweets Shoppe owned by local residents Jane Adams Roy and husband Alain. Both are now retired Canadian military, but at one time, one spouse was stationed in Trenton and the other in Kingston. Napanee initially was chosen because of its equidistance to both. In 1990, as the couple looked in the area, they found they liked Napanee so much that they bought a house on John Street. Jane’s first project was to renovate the former ‘Chuck’s Lunch’ on Dundas East, which is now apartments, but this latest endeavour is much more daunting she says. Her inspiration for the Water Street site had been a visit to Stratford, Ontario’s waterfront. Roy says the building, which was bought very rea-

sonably, was almost lost as water damage was prevalent, vagrants had been living in the building and there was evidence that someone had tried setting at least one fire. When husband Alain first saw the building which they eventually bought in November, 2011, he thought his wife needed to rethink it. With the help and support of E. A. Cromarty Architect and Roney Engineering, both of Kingston, the design makes the most of the site on the river. The lower level will lead in from a waterside patio through sets of double doors to a two-story licensed pub with large windows that overlook the water, the docks and Conservation Park on the far shore. The upper level of the pub will also have a balcony. Total occupancy is expected to be 150 patrons. The unlicensed entry level Sweets Shoppe

will sell candy and icecream. A dog-friendly patio has already been built and the site will be landscaped and fenced. To the east of the site is a municipal parking lot and public boat launch and to the west are the Queen Elizabeth Apartments. The Upper Canada Stone House Group of Kingston and a local stone mason Dean Jefkins first secured and then restored the two-foot thick stone walls. A new roof and trusses stabilized the building. Most of the other trades working on site are local, including WDC Construction, Napanee Welding and Fabricating, Anthromak Welding, Davis Plumbing, Greenwire Electric and True Comfort Heating and Cooling, gearing up for a May 24 opening. Roy feels strongly about hiring Napanee and area firms and also in

working closely with town officials who, she says have been very friendly, positive and helpful. Ironically, the building that produced gas through a coal gasification process to light municipal buildings will now be heated by natural gas. What some call a ‘gastro’ pub, will use fresh, local ingredients made on site. Roy, who has been coordinating with the Loyalist College Culinary Management Program in Belleville, is hiring a very innovative chef. Poutine, among other savory meals will never taste quite the same. While not everything is yet carved in stone, Roy is hopeful that it will become a destination spot. She stresses that, “Napanee needed something like this with all the great things the town has done on the reclaimed waterfront.”' There may be more than fireworks on May 24 as the owners welcome everyone to celebrate the opening of the new location at this very old site. It is another success story in the revitalization of Napanee's downtown. Charles Beale is a former educator, historian, shopkeeper, freelance writer and author of Manly E.

Brendan Hagerman, playing Aladdin, and Suzie Drouillard, playing the magic carpet, rehearse the scene where Aladdin names himself Prince Ali. The musical will be put on by J.J. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill students March 6-8, at the school. else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Whole New Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jasmine and I have to be staring at each other for a long period of time so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of weird, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of OK because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just acting our part,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new thing for me because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m usually just playing hockey and sports related activities. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of different and I like it.â&#x20AC;? His favourite part is being able to show and discover a new side of himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Whole New World,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a different song and it shows a different side of me. And I like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Friend Like Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much energy in the song and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just enjoying it,â&#x20AC;? said Hagerman.

Since discovering his passion for singing and performing, he has signed up to play a part in the Selby theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical coming up this spring. But the performance did not come together overnight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hagerman and Turkington said the cast and crew have put in hours and hours of practice, during school, after school and even on weekends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent all day Saturday at the school. About 40 kids were able to come so we were here from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It was a long day, but we got lots done, we were really happy with it,â&#x20AC;? said Turkington. Hagerman said the students are really excited to perform in front of their families and friends. He

said he even has family coming from Ottawa to watch him and his sister perform. Beyond the performance, Hagerman said the cast and crew have become a close-knit group, forming unlikely friendships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that the school did Aladdin because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to be together all the time and with people that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually hangout with, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to spend time with them,â&#x20AC;? he said. The cast and crew are made up of students in Grades 4-8 and are directed by Turkington, Gowsell and Steve Kennedy. There will be evening performances shown at the school March 6-8. Aladdin is open to the public and tickets are $5.

Heritage contributions earn recognition USAN Wright, a longtime local heritage enthusiast, received a lifetime achievement certificate for her ongoing efforts in various heritage projects and volunteerism in the area. She received the award at a Greater Napanee council meeting last night, on behalf of the Ontario Heritage Trust 2012 Heritage Community Recognition Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked hard in South Fredericksburgh heritage over a number of years and is well known. She does a lot of work there so it certainly is a pleasure today to recognize her,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Gordon Schermerhorn at the meeting. The lifetime achievement award is given to someone with 20-25 years of volunteer work in the field. Schermerhorn read a letter from the Ontario Heritage Trust Fund, stating reasons why its members felt Wright deserved the award.

Submitted

Susan Wright is presented with a heritage award by Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you know, heritage preservation is best taken under caring people within their community. Those people join with their neighbours to protect buildings, natural sites and cultural artifacts and tell their stories. The local histories are the backbone of our understanding of who we are and where we came from,â&#x20AC;? Schermerhorn read from the letter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is my hope that the Heritage Recognition Pro-

gram will reward the hard work of volunteers and inspire others to get involved to pass our heritage and stories on to the next generation.â&#x20AC;? Ted Davie of the Adolphustown Fredericksburgh Heritage Society, presented the award to Wright alongside Schermerhorn. Davie highlighted some of Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievements, including publishing a book, creating a local

New gala location draws record crowd Brides find plenty of ideas for big day at annual show BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

New this year to Serendipity Studios’ fourth annual Bridal Gala were not only guest speakers and a catered luncheon, but also fantastic grand prizes and a full fashion show stylized by Lily’s Bridal. Nearly 100 brides and their guests were able to mingle with numerous vendors, ranging from decorators, caterers, fashion and beauty consultants, DJs, limousine servicers and even card making and decorating materials – everything a bride would need to plan her special day. Jen Fitzpatrick, owner of Serendipity Studios and

organizer of the Bridal Gala, said larger prizes and a new location, at Doghouse Studios, drew more brides than ever before, making the event the best they’ve had yet. “The ambience that was created by Pritchard’s Decorating contributed to the already existing beauty of the location this year. We are more than pleased with the turnout, as well as the way the vendors interacted with the guests,” said Fitzpatrick. “The overall setting felt cozy and intimate, and allowed brides and grooms to get a glimpse of how the Doghouse Studios can present itself as a venue for a wedding or other event,” she added. One of the biggest draws this year was the

IN THE MATTER of Sections 45 and 53 of The Planning Act, TAKE NOTICE THAT the Committee of Adjustment/Land Division Committee (The Committee) of the Corporation of The Town of Greater Napanee will be considering the following application(s) for consent(s) or minor variance(s) at a public meeting on March 12, 2013 at 6:45 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Town of Greater Napanee at 124 John Street, Napanee, Ontario. If you would like to provide the Committee with your comments on any of these applications, please write to Gib Garrett, Planning Clerk. If we have not heard from you by the date of the meeting, we will assume that you have no comments or concerns regarding this matter. If a person or public body that files an appeal of a decision of the Committee in respect of the proposed consent(s) or minor variance(s) does not make a written submission to the Committee before it gives or refuses to give a provisional consent or approval, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss the appeal. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Committee of Adjustment in respect of the proposed consent(s) or minor variance(s), you must submit a written request to the Committee of Adjustment. This will also entitle you to be advised of a possible Ontario Municipal Board hearing. Even if you are the successful party, you should request a copy of the decision since the Committee of Adjustment decision may be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by the applicant or another member of the public. Additional information regarding the application(s) is/are available for public inspection at the Town of Greater Napanee Municipal Office at 45 Commercial Court or by contacting the Development Services Department at (613) 354-5931 Extension 114 during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please refer to the appropriate file number.

Connie Pritchard (left) of Pritchard’s Decorating shows off some of her decorating styles and techniques to those who attended the Bridal Gala on the weekend. Lily’s Bridal fashion show, which Fitzpatrick said was a great success. Here, Lily Deraaf, owner of Lily’s Bridal, showed the latest trends and other fashion tips for a bride’s wedding day, including mother-of-thebride dresses and bridesmaid gowns. Connie Pritchard, owner of Pritchard’s Decorating, was one of the guest speakers, who compared DIY weddings to

hiring a decorator. Ultimately, the choice is up to the bride and her budget, but Pritchard recommends all brides get involved with decorating. “I always give my brides a project,” she said, saying it’s important for the bride and groom’s personalities to shine through the decorator’s designs. Heather Lang, a financial advisor at Cedarlane Financial Consulting, was another speaker who

spoke. She spoke to brides about financial planning, both before and after the wedding. She said couples forget to see the big picture when they’re planning their big day and don’t stand back to realize their wedding is just one day. She said no bride or groom should plan a wedding that will start off married life in debt. To top it all off, a new grand prize of $500 was handed out, which went to

Penny McPherson. Other prizes went to: Emily McPherson for a $500 credit for Serendipity Studios, Julie Roantree for a $250 credit for Pritchard’s Decorating, Amanda Dwyer for a $250 credit for Doghouse Studios, Denise Johnson for a $250 credit for Paarrty Time DJ, Shannon Boese for a $250 credit for Cedar Crest Catering (which catered the bridal gala), Jenn O’Neill for a $100 credit for Twelve Deigns, and Krystle Brassard for a $100 credit for Cardiff Creations.

KEEP YOUR HEATING SYSTEM FIT The Inspectors Corner Wayne Fulton is a local home inspector and can be reached at 613-354-9547

Both new and old forced air heating systems need some attention to help keep them running smoothly and efficiently during the heating season. Even though you may have a relatively new system, a regular check and maintenance is important. With the sensitivity and complexity of modern controls, even small changes in a setting can have a significant detrimental effect on the function and life of a unit. Here are a few tips to keep your system running smoothly and help save on fuel consumption. • To conserve energy during the active part of the day, it is best to set the thermostat at a reasonable comfort level and leave it alone rather than continuously adjusting it. • To further conserve fuel, install an electronic programmable thermostat to automatically raise and lower temperatures according to your family’s schedule while everyone is out during the day and while sleeping at night.

• Dirt is the biggest enemy of your home's heating and cooling system. It can waste fuel and drastically lower efficiency. Dirt affects all three basic components of the system, so cleaning is the most important part of regular maintenance. Check the filter at least monthly during the heating (and cooling) season. Permanent, cleanable filters should be cleaned often; disposable type filters should be replaced when dirty. • Make sure all heat supply dampers on room registers are in the open position and not blocked by furniture or drapes. While a properly designed and installed heating system should provide uniform heat distribution throughout the house, in some cases a diverter or booster fan may be needed to improve distribution. • Consider an annual service contract with a local heating contractor, especially if your system is fueled by an oil burner. A qualified service technician will clean the burners and the heating surfaces; check for back drafting (which can create a carbon monoxide hazard), check for balanced air distribution; check safety controls; and lubricate motors and fan if required. In my business I see the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and without a doubt the biggest fault I find is lack of maintenance. Your heating system constitutes a significant expense, if you look after it, it can give you many years of reliable service.

The Benefits of Going Green

Interior Stylist Merola Tahamtan will guide you through staging and designing your home. 613-561-0244 merolatahamtandesigns@live.ca Twitter: @MerolaDesigns

Home Buyers are looking for updated kitchens, gorgeous backyards, and open floor plans on the top of their wish lists, but making an emergence are those features of the eco-friendly home. Clearly, green living is something buyers and sellers are talking about, and will continue to grow with time, as you can see with the rise of solar panels on more and more homes. However, to some homeowners, the idea of going green is fraught with concerns about spending more as first thoughts often turn to the installation of expensive items like solar panels. And in some cases, they are correct; not all green updates make sense. Before you begin to make any changes, it is important to understand what prospective buyers want, and even so more important, what they are willing to spend on these green improvements. Buyers regard green improvements that make their home healthier, and more comfortable a wise purchasing decision. As well as upgrades that will save on operating costs. It is said the average household spends nearly $1,900. a year

on utility bills, water and energy-efficiency are tangible benefits that are easy to measure. In fact, a green home can cut consumers’ bills by 25 percent! Buyers may be more willing to spend on an energyh R efficient home because they A know that they will be savw s ing money on operating costs in the long run. So where do you start? The internet is full of suggestions of making your home more energy efficient with products and appliances that can help reduce high energy bills, improve comfort and lessen the environmental impact. As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. An inefficient heating system not only leaves your pockets empty, it leaves your family shaking cold during the winter months. If your heating system is twentyfive years old, it may be time to replace it. While installing a new high-efficiency furnace may cost you a few thousand dollars, it’s an update that buyers will appreciate in the purchase of their home. It’s an update that they don’t need to do while first moving into a home. Other, smaller improvements include installing a programmable thermostat, which can save up to $150 per year. There are some clever thermostats available that work with your schedule and turn on prior to your returning home, or can be adjusted through your smart phone. Another competitive edge a seller can give their home against other homes on the market is upgrading

showerheads, toilets, and sinks that are 20 years or older. Upgrades such as lowflow toilet can also trim about $90 a year off a water bill. Most buyers appreciate appliances in the sale of their home. Appliances account for nearly 13 percent of a household’s energy costs, with refrigeration, cooking and laundry at the top of the list. Consider energy-star appliances which use far less energy than older models. Not only does this appeal to the green buyer, but as well as cosmetically in the viewing of your home. Seal air leaks around windows and doors to prevent energy losses. Replace old light bulbs with energy star- qualified bulbs. Consider planting trees near windows to provide shade, reduce the need for interior cooling. If your home is currently on the market, or if you’re getting ready to put it on the market, it is important to do everything you can to give it a competitive edge. Selecting some, or all, of these ecofriendly home improvements can give buyers peace of mind knowing they won’t have to invest time and money in putting together and operating a more efficient, lower impact, more comfortable home.

Greater Napanee

Council urged to tweak urban/rural tax boundary BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

arry Kellar, a resident of Greater Napanee, addressed council regarding his property taxes, stating that since he is not on town water-and-sewer services, he feels he shouldn’t be required to pay urban taxes. Council is looking into how many others are paying urban taxes, while receiving rural services, before making a decision to either change the tax rate boundaries or keep things status-quo. “I feel that I should not be

paying taxes at the urban rate, I should be paying at the rural rate. I’m not on water and sewer,” he said, which are among other services he does not have, such as a paved road or street lights. Residents within the Town of Greater Napanee’s urban boundaries pay one-third more than those in the rural boundaries. Kellar informed council that the boundary line is about 500 feet from his residence. “There are three houses east of Kimmett Side Road (where he lives) which do not have water and sewer and we don’t have paved roads. I don’t mind, I choose to live there. However, I feel I shouldn’t be paying taxes

at the urban rate for that reason,” he said, when he addressed council last week. Mayor Gordon Schermerhorn said a tax policy has been set and if council wishes to change it, the bylaw will need to be redone. “If council wants to change it they have to resend the bylaw for the tax policy and then we have to start all over. And I guess we did that, we sort of drew lines where we thought should be urban and shouldn’t be urban,” Schermerhorn explained to Kellar. Still, he understood Kellar’s point of view and asked administration to look into how many others are in the same situation

and bring the information to council, as well as cost and requirements for changing the policy. “I realize Harry’s (Kellar) predicament but we have to draw the line somewhere. If we draw (it at) Goodyear Road then there’s a problem on the other side. So where’s the line?” said Schermerhorn. CAO Raymond Callery explained the history and process of the urban and rural tax rates for Greater Napanee, dating back to 1998, just after amalgamation. At that time, rural and urban areas were paying the same tax. A year later, council rethought the tax policy and gave a lesser

rate to rural residents, which was based on a policing ratio. Since then, lines have been drawn a number of times until council found a solution they felt worked best for the municipality, which has been implemented since about 2004. “Water and sewer are not part of the tax revenues,” explained Callery. “It’s not an identifier, but most do have water and sewer,” inside the urban boundaries. Staff has been asked by way of motion to prepare information for council regarding residents on rural services paying urban rates, as well as the process to change the policy, if necessary.

Raiders hand the reins over to Mike Hartwick Former OHL, semi-pro hockey player comes with long list of coaching credentials

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Back to the glory years. That’s where Napanee Raiders general manager Adam Bramburger vowed the team is headed at their annual year-end banquet on Tuesday. “Unfortunately this is not where we’d like to be standing here in February,” Bramburger said to a crowd of fans, players and their families at the Strathcona Paper Centre. “This is the first year in Raiders history we’ve been here this early. We want to make sure that this isn't going to repeat itself in the future.” Turning the page on the Raiders’ franchise worst 10-27-3 mark will fall to Mike Hartwick, who takes over for Scott Slack as head coach. Slack will stay on as an assistant coach and manager. “They did have a young team this year,” said Hartwick. “Many, if not all, are eligible to come back next year. There’s going to be some new blood trying

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

Mike Hartwick was formally introduced as the next Napanee Raiders’ head coach on Tuesday, vowing to make the players earn everything. out and we’re already looking at players.” Hartwick brings with him an impressive hockey resume, having played five

years in the Ontario Hockey League, with stops in Hamilton, Guelph, Windsor and Ottawa. He also played some pro hockey in Ger-

many before lacing up for the University of Prince Edward Island in 1998. Now a teacher at Napanee District Secondary School,

he’s seen it all when it comes to coaching and teaching. “I’ve had the opportunity to coach college golf, basketball, baseball, football,” said Hartwick. “They’re similar in that you’re dealing with people and you still need to teach, to communicate in all sports.” Upon announcing Hartwick as the new bench boss, team president Morris Hart warned the players in the room to work out this summer because Hartwick won’t accept any excuses. At Hartwick’s right hand side will be an almost as equally decorated former player in Randy Holmes. He too played semi-pro, suiting up for U.S. teams in Madison, Waco, Milwaukee, Kalamazoo and Indianapolis between 1996-2003. He was a member of the original Raiders squad back in 1989, scoring 56 goals in 30 games. Though the announcement was made official this past week, Hartwick has known since late November

that he’d be stepping in as coach for next year. “I’ve seen quite a few games this year,” said Hartwick when asked about first impressions to succeed Eric Dwyer as captain. “I really wanted to understand the qualities that each player was going to bring.” Though he admits one player is a forerunner to claim the ‘C’ for next year, Hartwick wasn’t about to tip his hand just yet. Training camp and any new recruits will play a role in that as well. As eager as they are to move past this year's disappointment in the standings, there were plenty of stand out individuals to be awarded. Evan Brown was awarded the President’s Trophy, the team’s top achievement and Hart’s pick as best all-around player. He also shared the George Magold Award with Troy Wylie, given to the best teammate as voted by their peers.

President’s Choice

Retired Raiders find new passion as Stars coaches BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

Despite his short stature, Evan Brown (left) played the whole year on the wing for the Napanee Raiders, never shying away from a battle in the corner. For that, along with his 14 goals and 13 assists, he was presented with the President’s Award by team president Morris Hart.

Napanee Raider alumnus Ben Hagerman and Jeremy Burley have spent this past hockey season imparting the wisdom of their playing days onto a batch of up-and-coming Napanee Stars. Both served as assistant coaches, Hagerman with the minor peewees and Burley with the major peewees, and quickly earned the respect of their peers. “I was always an assistant captain or captain when I played and always took a leadership role, so I kind of thought coaching might be in my future,” said Hagerman, who played his final year with the Napanee Raiders in 2008 as a 21-year-old overeager. “I had other coaches telling me I would maybe make a good coach one day. Until you actually try it you don't know what to expect.” Hagerman made his coaching debut last season with a Stirling midget team before joining Brendan Kennelly’s Stars staff last September. He's been given free rein of practices

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

Once teammates, Ben Hagerman (left) and Jeremy Burley have spent this season coaching within the Napanee Stars minor hockey organization. and looks after the blue line during games. It’s tough to argue with his results, as the team posted a 23-0-1 record in the regular season. When not coaching he runs Hagsy Development, which teaches players of all ages and skill levels skating, puck movement and scoring under pressure. His training has been valuable to several Stars players, who wanted a leg up when making the jump from 'BB' to 'A'. More on

the program can be found at www.hagsydevelopment.com. Burley is even less removed from the game, having played with the Raiders last year before suffering a concussion midway through the year. He assisted Raiders coach Mike Casselman behind the bench the rest of that year and then joined Casselman’s Stars staff.

Curling season winding down as calendar flips to March

Andre Frappier is a member of the Napanee Raiders. Despite his rookie status, he impressed the brass this year, earning the McGreer Family Award as the top defenceman. He had two goals and 11 assists while helping to provide solid defense. The team will expect him to take an even greater role if he returns.

ooray for Ontario and way to go to Kingston for hosting a successful 2013 Scott Tournament of Hearts. Good luck to all curlers headed to Latvia. The second draw of most leagues are now finished and as promised here are a few more winners. In the Tuesday Up&Atâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Em we had Stan Yallup, Susi Reinink, Ted

Kennedy, Nancy Larochelle finishing first with six wins followed closely by Ed File, Jo Sutton, Heather Baker, John Kennelly with five wins and 26 ends. This leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winners are always hard to determine a winner as so many teams are real close, therefore an honourable mention to Sandi McNamee, Kees VanGent, Tom Ayling, Jane Wittish on coming third with five and 24 and Al Thompson, Don Kerr, Marilyn Cole, Joan Banks coming fourth with five and 23.

The Thursday Night Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league showed Ian Munro, Blaine Williams, George Moniz, Rome Dorval winning the draw with Brian Chadwick, Walter Bell, Scott Webber, Ray Taylor in the runner up position.

I probably wouldn't have been involved at this age.â&#x20AC;?

in a men's league with no contact,â&#x20AC;? said Hagerman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to keep your competitive edge. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just give it all away.â&#x20AC;? Not surprisingly Hagerman lists practices as his favourite part of the gig, even more so than game days. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because he gets the chance to lace up his skates and run through the drills. While coaching may come naturally to Hagerman the former captain, the fact that Burley has succeeded as a coach may come as a surprise to those who watched him play. As good as he was with the puck, scoring 64 goals in 158 career regular season games, he was even better at getting under his opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin. In those same 158 games he racked up 449 penalty minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a totally different life style on the bench,â&#x20AC;? said Burley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You got to coach a different style than I played for sure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a learning experience. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple of kids that want to play the way I did, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to reel them back in when you can. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome, I love it.â&#x20AC;? Although he may have been considered a pest by

his opponents, he was always one of the most respected players on his team. He wore an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on his jersey for his final year and his presence was missed when he went down with injury. Even Hagerman finds himself having to keep his competitive spirit in check when a ref makes a questionable call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a strong believer in discipline,â&#x20AC;? said Hagerman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The moment you lose it on the bench is the moment the rest of the kids lose it.â&#x20AC;? Hagerman says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to returning with the Stars next year while Burley isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing next year. Whether or not they continue to climb the ranks and one day coach the Raiders or any Junior C team remains to be seen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you just kind of roll with it,â&#x20AC;? said Hagerman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, coaching is all about proving yourself. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any respect in the hockey world unless you prove yourself.â&#x20AC;? The Raiders have a penchant for hiring former players to coach, but neither is pursuing that job just yet.

For now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused on developing minor players. As former players they know without respect for the coach, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter who is behind the bench. If they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their message across, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointless for them to even be there. Being a young coach brings with it a unique set of pros and cons. While they may be able to identify with players a little easier, it can be a struggle for the kids to take them seriously. Both coaches seemed to have found a way to balance both, being able to share a joke with the kids while getting them to play their hardest. In a result orientated business, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to argue with their output. Both former playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams went deep into the playoffs, with Hagermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minor peewees advancing to the Ontario semifinals and Burleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major peewees bowing out in the quarterfinals. Though they had envisions of a deep run, the major peewees did more than most expected. After finishing in the eighth spot they pulled off a couple of upsets to advance to the quarter-finals.

Napanee Minor Hockey Report

AWARDS | Wylie wins three

Minor peewees move to semis with a sweep Beaver Sports

he Napanee McDougall Insurance Peewee Minor Stars were taken to overtime in Whitby on the weekend, and eked out a 4-3 victory for a sweep of Whitby Blue. Ryan Kirkpatrick had the hat trick, and Corbin Gibson got the critical overtime winner. The win locked up their Lakeshore Championship. Next up will be a series with the York Simcoe winner, Barrie. n The Boyd Electric Peewee A Stars ended their run in OMHA playdowns with a 5-1 loss Saturday to Uxbridge. After a scoreless first period, Napanee gave up four power play goals in the second frame. The locals got a power play of their own when Alex Brady potted a goal with assists to Ryan McLay, and Seth Foster. Their guests added one more in the third. The Napanee boys had a fine run to reach the Lakeshore Finals, coming from eighth place. Uxbridge will move on to play Barrie. n A promising start transformed into a penalty-filled disaster for the Napanee Peewee AE Stars in what would be their final game of their OMHA season Friday night. The Clarington Toros dispatched the Stars in Game 5 of the first-toeight-points series in Clarington, breaking the game open late for a 7-1 win. For the first part of the game, however, it looked as though the Stars might once again surprise the powerhouse Toros. In spite of finding themselves shorthanded for 13 minutes in the first and second periods, the Stars managed to battle the Toros to a draw. The Toros would finally get on the board the second period, but the Stars drew even a few minutes later. Kiel Benton made the most of a pass from Nolan Myers with about two minutes left in the middle frame to make it 1-1. Hope faded quickly after that. Before the second period was over, the

Netminder Karter Vermilya keeps a close eye on the action from his crease during his Tyke Blue Team game against the Red Team at the Deseronto arena on Saturday morning. Toros added one more to make it 2-1, then proceeded to fill the net in the third. Despite making several big saves in the first two periods, goalie Cole East couldn’t stop all the rubber headed his way in the final frame. The Stars now hope to get some exhibition games in before heading to Alymer, Ont. for a tournament next month. n The Country Traditions Novice As began their semifinals with Uxbridge in the Sunderland arena on Saturday, and gained a 2-2 tie. Sunday, at home, Cole Campbell had the hat trick in a 5-2 victory. Reid Lambert and Cal Uens had singles. In the assist department, Owen Gibson had a pair, while Uens, Lambert, Ethan Martin, Quinton Pierce, and Zach Slaven all earned helpers. Tuesday night, Uens had a pair of goals in a 4-2 win. Ben Albright and Lucas Hannah scored as well. Napanee leads the six point series 5-1. n The Napanee Minor Atoms began the second round of their Lakeshore playoffs with Whitby Blue on Saturday on the Goodyear rink.

Game 3 will be Sunday at 1 p.m. n After a week off, the Novice AE Stars are back home Saturday at 3:30 p.m. to face Uxbridge in Lakeshore Playoffs. This series is a round robin that also includes Port Hope. n The Giant Tiger Bantams travelled to the Oshawa Legends on Friday for their last round robin game, and came away with a 2-1 win. Another solid defensive contest, the boys finished their playoffs on a positive note. n The Napanee Roster Selects hosted a strong Kingston team at the Strathcona Paper Centre, and ended up on the wrong side of a 9-1 score. Griffin Folkins got the lone goal, assisted by Silas Mahoney. n The Tyke House League Tournament was held last Saturday with many hopeful Sidney Crosbys taking to the ice. Game 1 saw the Red McDonald’s squad winning 9-2 over Yellow. In the second game, the Gray club, depleted by injury, was edged 4-2 by the Blue squad. The Red team got a

Luke Emmons’ 15 goals and 19 assists earned him the team's scoring title. Rookie Andre Frappier was presented with the McGreer Family Award as the top defenceman. Zach Knapp-Hermer finished strong to claim the Ron Lakins rookie of the year honours. The Earl Morrison Memorial, named for the late husband of Jean Morrison and one time publisher of the Napanee Beaver and given to the player who excels with little press, was Matt Horton.

ster Award for his community involvement. “While we’re disappointed in the situation, I must say I’m not disappointed in the team that we put on the ice,” added Bramburger. “Over the last couple of years we’ve been able to put ourselves in a position to make a move for a quick win. When we didn’t win, we knew that eventually it would catch up with us. We put the team in a very difficult position where we needed to make a change and had few seasoned veterans to lead.” The Raiders will now turn their focus to their upcoming 25th season, one in which they’ll have plenty to prove. They’ll do so in new duds, sporting a Los Angeles Kings retro silver and black look. They’ll introduce the new jerseys later this off-season.

Pirates, Panthers to meet in finals Port Hope knocks off Rebels, Picton sweeps Jets Staff Reporter

here were no surprises in the first round of the Empire B League's playoffs, as both the top-seeded Picton Pirates and second-seeded Port Hope Panthers advanced to the finals. The Pirates swept away the Amherstview Jets, finishing them off with a 5-1 win on Sunday. Evan Greer finished the series with four goals and seven assists. His teammate, Flinton's Cole Bolton, had 10 points with three goals and seven helpers.

Adam Wood and Andrew Pearson split goaltending duties, each winning two games. The closest the Jets came to avoiding the brooms was in Game 3, when the Jets fell 4-2. Brian Bunnett had a hat trick for Picton. In the other series the Panthers ousted last year's league champs, the Campbellford Rebels, in five games. The clincher came Sunday, a 3-2 overtime thriller. Brad Heykoop scored the game winner at the 4:40 mark. Campbellford held a 2-

1 edge heading into the third but couldn’t maintain it. The exit comes one year after the Rebels had advanced to the final four of the all-Ontario playoffs. The Pirates and Panthers will now square off in the league finals, hoping to advance to the Schmalz Cup, all-Ontario playoffs. The best-of-seven series schedule is yet to be announced. The Pirates won the regular season series 7-1. The two teams met in last year’s semifinals, with Picton sweeping the series in four games.

McTAGGART - In loving memory of our sister, Debbie, who passed away February 22, 2010. We stood beside your bedside, Our hearts were sad and sore, We tended you with loving care ‘Til we could do no more, Now, while midnight stars are shining Upon your silent grave, Beneath it sleeps the one we love And the one we could not save, Now Father up in Heaven, Don’t leave her all alone, Just love her up in Heaven As we loved her here at home. Forever in our hearts. Love, David and Esther. YOUMANS - In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather, Harvey, who passed away 25 years ago on March 2, 1988.

KARTER THOMAS GARDINER November 3, 2011 February 29, 2012

On angel’s wings you were taken away As you sweetly and quietly slept And returned to Heaven before we knew That you had even left, Our hearts are heavy and sorrowed, That our time with you was so brief, For you were our gift of Heaven’s light That is now replaced with grief, But not so much that we won’t be grateful For every second you were here, You filled our hearts with so much joy, Treasured memories we’ll hold forever dear And though we weren’t blessed to see you grow up, We were blessed to see you smile And hold you lovingly in our arms, Even tho it was just for a while, You taught us how to be our best, To in the moment live, To never hold a grudge for long And loyal friendship give, You are an angel watching over us With the comfort and blessings you bring, You embrace our hearts and hold them close, Forever on Angel’s Wings. We miss you so much Bud! Love you forever and always Mommy, Daddy, Keegan and Tyson

GARDINER - Karter Thomas November 3, 2011-February 29, 2012 Hello our tiny baby. We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday And days before that too, We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame, Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart. Miss you desperately, Love you forever. Gramma and Grampa Gardiner. GARDINER - Karter Thomas November 3, 2011-February 29, 2012 We think about you always, We talk about you still, You have not been forgotten And you never will, We hold you close within our hearts And there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again, There is a special Angel up in Heaven, He is a part of us, It is not where we wanted him But where God called 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 we send this special message To the Heaven up above, Please take care of our Angel And send him all our love. With all of our love forever, Uncle Jon, Auntie Dawn and Turner.

VALE, Barbara Lorraine

(nee Pippy) Passed away at The John M. Parrott Centre on February 25, 2013, at the age of 87. She is survived by her daughters, Kim and Cam, son-in-law James Sweeney and her grandsons, Jordan Brooks and Alex Dods. Although she had many health problems over the years and suffered from dementia, she retained her sense of style and her sense of humour right to the end. What she hated about getting old was losing her hard-won independence and having to rely on others for her daily care. She was not a morning person but when she decided to get up for breakfast, she was always fully accessorized with her makeup and earrings on. The care she received at The John M. Parrott Centre was second to none and we are very grateful to everyone on Maple Lane. She requested cremation but no Funeral Service. Mom loved cats more than people, so if you are so inclined, donations may be made to Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre or the Napanee Humane Society. “You only live once and if you do it right, it is usually enough”. Arrangements in care of the Wartman Funeral Home “Napanee Chapel”. Online condolences at www.wartmanfuneralhomes.com Two locations to serve you.

Deseronto Council

Town to tackle budget at meeting tonight BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

www.bellevillevw.com

cil’s attention that the Town of Deseronto would turn 125 next year. Members of the public and Dana Valentyne, Community Development Officer for the Town of Deseronto, are preparing a report to present to council during their next meeting. Anyone interested in joining a planning committee or volunteering can con-

for taxes, as done in past years. n Council approved a bylaw to provide for an interim tax levy for capped and uncapped assessed properties. The bylaw will also set out a schedule for the payment of taxes and prescribe the penalty and interest rates to be applied to outstanding taxes. n It was brought to coun-

tact Valentyne at the Deseronto town office. n Council moved to allocate water and sewer capacity to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte to accommodate a community facility for the Native Women’s Association on Bayshore Road.

Todd Harvey, Operations Manager for the water and sewer system, said the water use from this one particular building would be minimal. He recommended council to proceed, as he saw it as a “worthwhile” cause.

Deseronto council was poised to discuss the 2013 budget at a special meeting tonight. Mayor Norman Clark said he expects 2013 to be a tight budget. “We’re in real tough times and we have a tough budget that we’re going to have to work on,” he said. “We have some real tough decisions that we’ll have to make this year that we probably haven’t had to make in years past. We won’t satisfy everybody in the budget but hopefully we can bring in a budget that is reasonable and covers what we need to cover,” he said. Hot topics on this year’s budget will be selling surplus properties belonging to the town and upgrades at Centennial Park.

In other Deseronto council news: n Deputy Mayor Clarence Zieman moved first, second and third reading a bylaw to authorize the municipality to borrow $650,000 to meet current expenditures of the corporation of the Town of Deseronto, which was carried. The money will be borrowed through a local bank to cover expenditures

ADDING OUTSIDE DEBT TO YOUR MORTGAGE FOR LINE OF CREDIT RESCUE

The Over Spending Complex You really needed (or wanted) that flat screen, plus the surround sound to top it off. Or maybe you spent more than expected on vacations this summer. It's always nice to enjoy the fruits of your earnings and at times is far too easy, I mean it's your money right? However, after all is said and done, your credit limits may be bursting at the seams. Don't get into a situation where it takes years to pay off your credit just because you were trying to live a little.

The Debt Solution If what you've read so far sounds familiar, there is a way to overturn your debt with a remortgage if

your home has equity in it. Adding outside debts (i.e. credit card bills, renovation bills) to your mortgage can save you money if you're currently paying more than $300 a month. It's important to understand if this mortgage tactic fits your needs. If you aren't receiving a lump sum of money in the near future than combing your debts into your mortgage might be just what the doctor ordered. Other factors you should consider * How much equity does your home currently hold? * How much is your monthly mortgage payments now? * Extra debt on your mortgage translates into increasing your total home loan amount Debt Consolidating: Do the Math Let's say your debt was pushing $10 000, when you refinance your mortgage it will save you on monthly payments in the event your house has that equity I was talking about. This is meant to make your life easier and leave some extra dollars in your pocket. Consolidating your debt could be the perfect card to play, as interest rates on mortgages are commonly lower than

other debts you might incur.

Philoxia sold, to be redeveloped into resort BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Marlbank landmark Philoxia was officially handed over to new owner on Monday, one who has plans to pump upwards of $10 million into the 334 acre estate and turn it into an international resort and spa. Philoxian owners Iilah and Tawlia Chickalo, who used the grounds as a zoo, gourmet restaurant and beach at one point or another over the last 34 years, sold the land to Sophia Yan and her husband Antonio. Yan, of Chinese and Dominican Republican descent, has big aspirations for the property, though it will be a gradual progression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to invest in the land,â&#x20AC;? Yan said in

Chinese, translated by Jessica Chen, secretary general for the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the current facilities we are planning a nice golf course, maybe 18 holes, and a nice winery, maybe some cottages with a nice lake view.â&#x20AC;? The proposed tourism project will also include a spa as well as Asian and Caribbean-style restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some detailed plans for after the snow melts,â&#x20AC;? Yan said about her proposed timeline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe in March and April weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have discussions with (Tweedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Developer) Joey (Walsh) and our planners, and then we can figure out our schedule.â&#x20AC;? All plans are in the very beginning stages as the property was just sold last week, only a few short weeks after Yanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first visit. â&#x20AC;˘ Interior Design â&#x20AC;˘ Home Staging â&#x20AC;˘ Window Treatments â&#x20AC;˘ Organization â&#x20AC;˘ Painting â&#x20AC;˘ Colour Consultations

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land use and things that they have to go through with the municipality of Hastings planning department,â&#x20AC;? said Walsh, adding that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with them to make sure they secure everything they need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because it happened so quickly we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the opportunity to go through it.â&#x20AC;? No name has been given for the new resort yet. As for the quick purchase, Yan said she fell in love with the area on her first visit and is planning to become a permanent Canadian resident. She already owns several properties in Canada, though none as big as the one in Marlbank. Its position between Ottawa, Toronto and close proximity to Kingston and upstate New York are what appealed to her business sense. When everything is complete she hopes travellers from all over, including China and the Dominican Republic, will hop on a plane and spend a few weeks there. In the meantime the grounds will just be opened to friends and family as they test what works and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t before opening to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will build a resort in an Asian style and a Dominican Republican style,â&#x20AC;? said Yan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just

Greater Napanee Council

Town mulls permanent site for youth program

BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

APANEE Youth Centre members addressed the Town of Greater Napanee council last week, seeking financial support in securing a permanent location for the program. Bethany Lessard, Youth Centre co-ordinator, and Ben Hagerman, minor hockey liaison, presented council with four possible options: local elementary schools (as they’re currently doing), shared space at the L&A Agricultural Society, office space at 13 Market Square, and the reconstruction of a building in Conservation Park. Napanee Youth Centre programming began in 2011 and is supported by a Healthy Communities grant. It’s a two-hour afterschool program that pro-

motes healthy living and an active lifestyle. “We offer a safe, supervised, stress-free atmosphere,” said Lessard. “Our focus is on physical activity, healthy eating, peer mentorship and structured programming.” The program is offered at J.J. O’Neill Catholic School and The Prince Charles School. Last year it was also offered at Westdale Park Public School but is now offered at Southview Public School instead. Since the after-school program began, more than 140 local youth have participated out of a possible 209 students. This shows more than a 40 per cent turnout. “We’ve built a pretty established program but we want to move forward and we feel there’s a need for a permanent space to run our youth programming out of,” said Hager-

man. “With a new program space, there would be an opportunity to run programs for youth with lots of different interests. Constantly we’re finding that we’re trying to run programs out of already used facilities and every time we’re in a facility we’re losing revenue because we’re booking with a facility and that’s not what we want to do,” he said. The first proposal – working in local elementary schools – proposes to remain status-quo. Without the Healthy Communi-

ties grant, which Lessard explained would not be available next year, the program is look at about $15,416 in rental fees. This leaves them with no permanent location and having to move equipment and supplies from school and school. On the other hand, offering the program at the schools makes it convenient for youth participants. The L&A Agricultural Society location has an estimated rental cost of $18,800 but would serve as a permanent location. On the other hand,

there is little heating, no separation of rooms, limited hours available for program operation and causes them to invest into a third party facility. The Market Square location was estimated to cost $15,923 annually and would be beneficial because it’s municipally owned land in a central location. Cons included that the program would be located

next door to an older youth program, it’s an office space building that would not be large enough for their needs and restrict physical activity, which would also limit the amount of programming possible. The final option, Conservation Park, was most favoured by Lessard, Hagerman and council.

YOUTH | Program has turned kids in right direction CONTINUED FROM PAGE 33 Lessard and Hagerman proposed building and renovating program space, which could also be used for summer boaters and to promote tourism in the municipality. Cost has not yet been determined but if this option was pursued, Lessard and Hagerman plan to apply for a Trillium Grant. The location would be close to the boardwalk and splash pad, and it is already established as a youth programming location. Enhancements would collaborate with Spring Side Park improvements and the reno-

vations would reinvest into town-owned property. Some council members saw this as a favourable investment but said they were concerned about the cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to serve a multi-purpose because we have to do something about those washrooms up there. â&#x20AC;Ś This would serve both,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Gordon Schermerhorn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council needs to realize the cost of this is a small costâ&#x20AC;? in the long run, he said. Deputy Mayor Roger Cole agreed it was a worthwhile endeavour; however, he encouraged Lessard and

Hagerman to pursue further funding and partnerships. Others were ready to jump on board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a wonderful presentation and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something council should really consider whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to continue on with the way things are, which I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like, or invest into a property and certainly invest in the youth. If I need to put that into a motion to investigate further I would do so,â&#x20AC;? said Ward 3 Councillor Marg Isbester. Hagerman stressed the importance of the program as a preventative solution and as a way to reduce further social service programs in the future. He used one youth as an

example, stating the program has steered this individual on a more positive path than they would be heading down without the program. Hagerman said the youth came from a lowincome household and, though not keen on sports, participated in every session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could find (the individual) there five days a week, 100 per cent. Wherever it was, (they) was there. (They) had some very positive mentorship, healthy and active living that we know was never involved in (their) life before we were involved,â&#x20AC;? said Hagerman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The individual) doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care to play sports, but

just did because (they) knew that we were there and knew that the alternative to going home after school was not a good alternative.â&#x20AC;? Hagerman said he has watched the youth transform from lost and vulnerable to goal-oriented and confident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The individual) has goals and is getting involved, making a career and exploring creative abilities. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe without our support and programming that (their) confidence levels, selfesteem levels, would be where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at right now.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Bill Pierson appreciated the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preventative efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I really like is the fact that you stress the preventative value. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a prevention program to get these kids in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? he said. Though Schermerhorn could not guarantee the project would make it in to the 2013 budget, he did say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is certainly not dead by any means,â&#x20AC;? and is hopeful council can support the youth program in the future.

Local farmers and agricultural enthusiasts will have a chance to participate in the eighth annual Profitable Pastures Conference and trade show, which will take place at the Strathcona Paper Centre next week. The Ontario Forage Council is putting the conference on, with this year’s theme being, ‘Each Pastured Acre Must Generate a Profit.’ This will be an all-day conference on March 4. A number of speakers will talk about agriculture and farming. Topics this year will include rotational grazing, grass-based dairy production and foraging behaviour of livestock. This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Darrell Emmick, from the University of Vermont and a grazing land management specialist and farmer, among other accomplishments. “I think he will be absolutely excellent. I’ve read many good reviews about him and he’s very practical with the things he’s learned over the years and worked on,” said Ray Robertson, Ontario Forage Council manager. Aside from Emmick, Robertson said a number of other speakers will give tips and educational presentations about livestock handing and rotational grazing, which he describes as ‘buzz words’ in farming today. He said in the past, the conference has mainly attracted beef and sheep farmers but said the seminar will have information of all types and levels. “We have some great keynote speakers with a great take-home message, so I think anybody who attends will certainly pick up some pretty useful ideas and I think our theme this year kind of tells it all, ‘Every Pasture Acre Must Generate a Profit,’” said Robertson. He said the conference will be a great networking opportunity as well as a way to educate farmers on other method of operation. “There’s a lot of competition for acres now and so I think a lot of people really recognizes the value of forages and crop rotation. Maybe you can get away with it for a few years but I know most people have a large concern … about the future of our crop rotations of Ontario. So this makes it even more critical to provide as much information as possible to the producers and maximize the profit on a pasture of forage acres,” said Robertson. The conference is $40 per person and will include a hot roast beef lunch. Those looking to register or for more information can contact Robertson or Patricia Ellingwood at 1877-892-8663.
