A breakdown of municipal services was dissected Tuesday at a Taxation Policy Review committee meeting, with the group primarily focussing on wait times for police and fire services in rural areas of the municipality. Services for discussion were broken down into nine categories: police, fire, parks and recreation, waste management, streetlights, sidewalks, roads, winter control, and crossing guards. Committee members were in agreement that streetlights, sidewalks and crossing guards were too small a cost to tackle and focused their discussion on the remaining six categories. Policing and fire services made up for the bulk of the conversation, just as those areas make up the majority of the cost when it comes to taxation. Ted Davie, a rural committee member, said response times for calls should be taken into consideration when determining how much rural and urban ratepayers should pay. Committee chair Gary Scandlan said committee members should weigh how paying by service would compare to how the municipality delegates urban and rural taxation costs today.

County Road 8 near Huyck Street south of Napanee had to be closed for several hours on Sunday to allow work crews to remove a detached cement tanker trailer from the eastern ditch of the road. The accident that put the tanker in the ditch occurred early Friday morning. According to the OPP, no one was injured in the incident, and the Ministry of Transportation is currently investigating a “possible mechanical issue” with the truck.

Town on track with accessibility improvements

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Last year’s accessibility review for the municipality shows it is on track to becoming entirely accessible by 2025. This year marked the 10th anniversary since the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act was introduced. The act aims to make all of Ontario accessible by 2025. Greater Napanee council accepted a report outlining improvements the municipality made in accessibility in

2015. The 2025 goal is province-wide, but Greater Napanee put a five-year plan in place in 2012. Vicki Hallam, Manager of Safety Compliance and Accessibility for Greater Napanee, said 2015 was a successful year in terms of improving accessibility, and there are plans to improve accessibility even further in 2016. “In the beginning of the five-year plan, which is done in 2017, we went to all the facilities and did an audit. … I’m actually going to do audits at all of our facilities again with a community

member with a disability,” said Hallam. Hallam will be visiting all municipal buildings with Jessica Boomhower, the Greater Napanee volunteer firefighter who suffered a brain injury in 2014. Boomhower now sits on the Lennox and Addington County committee for accessibility to advise how the municipality can become more accessible. “I want to take her around. She tells me flaws in our building that I don’t see (that) she notices. I want to take her and we’re going to re-audit and re-prioritize what needs to be done,” said Hallam. The biggest project the municipality completed in 2015 in terms of accessibility was the interior upgrades to Town Hall. “That renovation was the biggest one. We did the flooring, the lighting, signage, and we did the counters so it’s accessible. It’s electronic so it lowers as it’s needed to different heights. We kept the space as barrier free and made sure to have

explained. The interior steps at Town Hall, going up to the council chambers, were also redone. A new alarm system, lighting, sound system in council chambers, and new accessible signs have been added throughout the municipality. “We’re changing to accessible signage in most of our facilities. It has to have raised lettering, Braille, a picture on it, and then there’s a chip in the back so you can tap it with your Smartphone and it will

change colours, it will enlarge or get smaller, and it will read it out to you in about 60 different languages,” said Hallam. Accessible picnic tables were put in at Conservation Park, Springside Park and at the splash pad. Hallam said she hopes to install more accessible picnic tables in 2016. One of the top priorities for 2016, aside from reauditing all municipal buildings, is to improve the exterior steps at the back of Town Hall.

Winter Chill Festival returns this month BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

REATER Napanee’s Winter Chill Festival will feature the best of both indoor and outdoor world this year as the event moves out of the downtown core and into the Strathcona Paper Centre. Set for Feb. 15 — which is also Family Day across the province — the event will still feature many of its familiar staples at the new location, only this year won’t be at the mercy of Mother Nature. “We thought it’d be a good combination to host it at the arena but have a little inside and a little outside just because of the weather,” said Megan Smith, Economic Development Co-ordinator with the Town of Greater Napanee. “You’re always not sure what the weather will be like and it gives people the opportunity to move inside if need be.” Starting the day off will be a ball hockey tournament, which will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the SPC’s parking lot. “No experience is required, it’s for anybody (16 years and older),” said Smith. “Each team gets a toque for entering.” The co-ed tournament requires that each team have at least six players and a maximum of 10, with two female players on the court at all times. For more information contact Cal McGarvey at McDougall Insurance. The cost to enter is $80 per team. Also returning this year is the popular Chili Challenge, which is open to all chefs both professional or amateur.

Several stunt driving charges laid by local OPP Beaver Staff

Some lead-footed drivers were slapped with stunt driving charges in several separate incidents last week. Over a 24-hour period, OPP laid three different stunt driving charges. The latest incident occurred early Monday morning, when an officer with the Napanee detachment stopped the driver of a Chevrolet Malibu. The officer clocked the Malibu travelling at 158 kilometres per hour on Highway 401 near Napanee at 12:20 a.m. The driver of the vehicle, a 55-year-old man from Maple, was handed a seven-

day licence suspension, and his vehicle was seized for seven days. He is to appear in provincial court in Napanee on Feb. 18. At 10:57 a.m. on Sunday, the OPP stopped the driver of a Dodge Charger that was detected travelling at 157 km/h in a posted 80 km/h zone on County Rd. 4 in Loyalist Township. A 33year-old female from Tamworth is facing charges. Just more than an hour earlier, the same officer had stopped and charged a 23year-old Ajax woman with stunt driving. In that incident, a Chevrolet Cruze was clocked driving at 173 km/h on Highway 401 west of Napanee.

“Anyone can enter, a school, a business, a team, a club,” said Smith of the Chili Challenge. “Whoever the winner is, they could win $200.” For $5, members of the public will have the opportunity to sample as much chilli as they like, which also gets them a cup and spoon. Spring Meadow Orchards will also be on hand to sell some of their apple donuts. The majority of the fun will take place between noon and 4 p.m. which will include face painting, kids crafts, horse drawn wagon wides, a climbable snow mountain, public skating (from noon to

The event is sponsored by the Town of Greater Napanee and Century 21 Lanthorn Real Estate Ltd.

Museum Kids to take on Valentine Card workshop

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Love will be in the air for this month’s edition of Museum Kids, which takes place this Saturday at the Lennox and Addington County Museum. Card making expert Karen Norman will be this month’s guests, leading a workshop on how to create the perfect hand-made Valentine card for that someone special. FEBRUARY 9 PANCAKE SUPPER At 5:30 p.m. at St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church at 137 Robinson St. Hosted by The Heard Youth, this event is a fundraiser for their sponsor child in Peru. Supper begins at 5:30 pm in the church hall. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for children under 12 years. Reserve your tickets by calling 613-3543141, 613-354-0784 or e-mailing faym@bellnet.ca. A limited number available at the door. PANCAKE & CHILI SUPPER At St. Matthew’s Hall, Marlbank from 4:30-7 p.m. Adults $10, Children 6-12: $5, under 6: free. Includes pancakes, sausages, chili, pie, tea and coffee. PANCAKE SUPPER St. Peter’s Anglican Church, 4333 Bath Rd., is holding a pancake supper from 5-7 p.m. A good will offering is appreciated. FEBRUARY 10 BREAKFAST At the Bath Legion in Millhaven, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. LINE DANCING At the Tamworth Legion from 7-8:30 p.m. CANADIAN CLUB OF KINGSTON Luncheon meeting, noon. Non-members welcome. Speaker: Mathew Ingram, author, senior writer Fortune

“We’re going to explore a couple of different techniques,” said Norman. “The age range is pretty broad so the techniques are pretty basic. We’ll be learning how to stamp with acrylic stamps, one of the cards uses a little bit of watercolour paint. We’re just building a card to a finished product.” Geared towards kids ages three and older, at the end of the workshop they’ll have two cards to bring home, and possibly more if

there’s enough time and materials left over. “I think that these kind of things need to be left open to the interpretation of the child,” said Norman, noting it’s up to the crafters who they want to receive their cards. “I don’t want it to be to a specific person. They can use it for what they want.” Norman will supply all the craft materials, the kids need only come willing to get their hands a little dirty. “I guarantee no two

cards are going to look the same and not one is going to look like the sample,” said Norman. “That’s the way it goes, it’s more about exploring how to do it and having some fun.” During the workshop Norman will also talk a little bit of the history of card making, discussing the various techniques that have been used over the years. Norman has many years experience making cards and has visited several schools in the area to lead a

class in the art of building the perfect customized paper card. Making hand-made paper cards will harken back to the 1800s, when printed Valentine’s cards first became popular. According to the L&A County Museum and Archives, by the 1830s Valentine’s cards were being mailed in such great numbers, postmen were given a special allowance for refreshments to help them through the busy days leading up to Feb.

EDITORIAL

Picturing Our Community

Let voters have their say The federal Liberals don’t appear to be in a rush to implement their plan for electoral reform — but some of those who are concerned with what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government have in store haven’t been shy about outlining why they’re concerned, and why the Liberals have to move away from the commitment to end first-pastthe-post. Among those most vocal in their opposition is Scott Reid, the Conservative MP who represented Lennox and Addington County prior to the last election, and who now represents the neighbouring riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. In fact, in a recent mailout to his constituents, Reid suggests that the Liberals are trying establish a new method of voting that will benefit themselves. He goes so far as to say that the Liberals under Trudeau are trying to “destroy our democracy.” Well, we’re not quite prepared to agree with Reid on that one, but as we’ve said in this space before, he’s got a point. While partisans can trade barbs over whether or not the Liberals are trying to game the system to their own advantage, the question is somewhat beside the point. What is certain is that in order to remove any potential stain on the electoral reform process, the Liberals are going to have to change tack. In our view, that means that any electoral reform package must come with a referendum attached. Ordinary Canadians must have a direct say in how they’ll vote for their federal political representatives in the future, and that has to be through a referendum. Further, that referendum has to include the maintenance of the status quo: the good old firstpast-the-post system. So far, the Liberals have said that the October election was the final federal election to be held under that system — whatever options that are on the table, FPTP won’t be one of them. However, we believe Canadians should have the opportunity to stand by the electoral status quo if they so choose rather than have the government deny them that option. That’s no endorsement of FPTP. When Ontario held a referendum in 2007 on the question of electoral reform, we endorsed a change from FPTP. Indeed, FPTP does come saddled with many flaws, in our view, and the federal Liberal government should be applauded for eying reform. We were on the losing side of the Ontario referendum. That’s OK. In a democracy, you win some and you lose some. But we had our opportunity to survey the options and have our say, and that’s what should happen in instances such as these. So far, the Liberal plan is too scoped. And, if their plan doesn’t include a referendum, it won’t be sufficiently consultative. If the Liberals don’t want the criticisms of Reid and others to stick, they need to correct those two problems with the electoral reform plan.

Economic report supports growth in rural Ontario Two groups pushing for economic growth in Ontario right now are the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. The OFA shares a similar mandate with the OCC — we both work on behalf of businesses in the province. OFA focuses our advocacy on farm businesses. It is a strong lever to OFA’s forward advocacy actions to have OCC’s work helping to support growth for Ontario’s agri-food sector in various ways. On Jan. 26, a report authored by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Mowat Centre, and Leger highlighting several issues OFA is pushing for to grow our industry, farm businesses and the greater Ontario economy was released. The report, Emerging Stronger 2016, is the OCC’s assessment of Ontario’s economic strengths and weaknesses since 2012. It’s encouraging to see the OCC support issues like curbing rising electricity costs, extending broadband across the province, the development of a Cap and Trade system and promoting Ontario’s agri-food sector at home and abroad.

The OFA supports the Emerging Stronger 2016 report recommendations for a stronger Ontario, identifying many areas that support Ontario farmers and OFA’s current advocacy work. The five-year analysis report outlines five priority areas for economic strength in Ontario.

Don McCabe OFA Comment 1. Fostering a culture of innovation and smart risktaking in order to become a productivity leader 2. Building a 21st century workforce 3. Restoring fiscal balance by improving the way government works 4. Taking advantage of new opportunities in the global economy 5. Identifying, championing, and strategically investing in our competitive advantages in the global economy Prime Minister Trudeau recently stated in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum that Canada is full of resources and

resourceful people. Ontario farms and rural business communities exemplify and carry a long history illustrating resourceful people properly managing resources. To leverage our resourceful talents, and to grow our economy, OCC’s report outlines key priorities for much-needed economic development in Ontario. It demonstrates how organizations like OFA and OCC can realize our province’s potential in collaboration with others and collective action. The OFA asks the federal government and provincial government to combine their resources with Ontario’s number one industry, and announce these intentions in upcoming budgets. A copy of the full Emerging Stronger 2016 report is available at occ.ca. Congratulations to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Mowat Centre and Leger for their hard work to compile this report, and helping to promote Ontario’s farmers, who are the core strength of the current Ontario economy. Don McCabe is the president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

Letter to the Editor

Protect northern L&A ambulance service For the past four years, Northbrook ambulance service received back-up assistance during its day shift from the Denbigh ambulance service. Denbigh ambulance was moved to Northbrook base when Northbrook was on a call. That is, Northbrook was receiving ambulance service from two ambulances. This will no longer happen if recommendations presented to Lennox and Addington County Council in January by L&A Chief of Emergency Services, Mark Schjerning, are put into operation. The 12-hours, seven-days-a-week daytime service at Denbigh will no longer exist. The Denbigh ambulance will be transferred to Loyalist service to make Loyalist a 24/7 fulltime service.

This means that Northbrook service will have one ambulance 24/7 with no backup. It also means that Northbrook ambulance service will need to do an additional 190 daytime calls that the previous Denbigh service did each year. That involves half an hour to get to Denbigh plus a half an hour to return to Northbrook, plus the time required to complete each call by going to a hospital in Renfrew, Bancroft or sometimes Napanee. A call where the patient is taken to Renfrew would likely involve the Northbrook ambulance being away from Northbrook for three to four hours. Under this proposed arrangement, the closest ambulance service in L&A County to Northbrook serv-

ice will be Napanee ambulance service. A second call for ambulance service in Northbrook’s service area would need to be done by Napanee ambulance service. For the patient involved, that means a 35-45 minute wait for the ambulance to come from Napanee to Northbrook, and another 35-45 minutes to return to the Napanee hospital. A call from areas beyond Northbrook would increase the response time and combined return time to Napanee hospital by two minutes for every mile beyond Northbrook. Calls from or beyond Vennachar Junction on Highway 41 would in all probability require that the patient be taken to Renfrew hospital or Bancroft hospital if the patient’s condition

or injuries were life-threatening. Ambulance dispatchers are required by regulations to have the patient delivered to the closest hospital in life threatening situations. For an ambulance from Napanee to deliver a patient to Renfrew and return to Napanee would require four to five hours. This information is present to show some of the ramifications of these recommendations. Our county council needs your input by whatever form best suits your situation. Addington Highlands’ Reeve Henry Hogg and Deputy-Reeve Helen Yanch need your support to help them resolve this issue. Bill Snider, Addington Highlands

Letter to the Editor

Glad to have The Napanee Beaver I read this weekend of the closing of The Guelph Mercury and The Nanaimo Daily News, after more than 100 years each of covering the local news. I then picked up The

Napanee Beaver and read a variety of articles covering local issues. It included a fair and balanced editorial about a topic important to many area residents. I live in a rural area north of town

where I don’t get local delivery, but each week I seek out a copy of The Napanee Beaver. I feel extremely fortunate to live in a community with a locally owned, independent newspaper

that still provides news and excellent editorial analysis on complex issues. Keep up the awesome work! Cam Mather, Tamworth

2016 Evergreen Award announced The Ontario Library Association’s Evergreen Award is best described as the “readers’ choice” of Canadian literary awards. Each year, a list of ten nominees is selected by a committee of librarians in and in October, during Canadian Library Month, library patrons can vote on their favorite. The 2016 list, just announced on Jan. 28, features a diverse list of titles. It spans all genres, both fiction and non-fiction, and is well-representative of what Canadian authors have to offer Canadian readers. All Saints by K.D. Miller is a linked collection of short stories that presents the secreted small tragedies of an Anglican congregation struggling to survive in the modern world. Birdie by Tracey Lindberg is also on the CBC Canada Reads shortlist. It follows Bernice, a Cree woman, as she leaves her home in Northern Alberta following tragedy and travels to Gibsons, BC on a quest to meet Jesse from the television show The Beachcombers. The Hunger of the Wolf by Stephen Marche follows

V i s i t

three generations of the Wylie family as they rise to prominence as wealthy capitalists in the United States. It is a family saga in the vein of The Great Gatsby — but what you won’t expect is the paranormal twist. The Jaguar’s Children by John Vaillant is gripping novel that looks at the plight of illegal immigrants who Coles’ cross the border from Mexico to El Norte. It is narrated by a migrant named Hector, who is one of several people abandoned and trapped inside a sealed water tanker just inside the U.S. border. Local Customs by Audrey Thomas is based on the real lives of Letitia Landon and George Maclean. Letitia was a fairly wellknown poet in the 1830s. George Maclean was Governor of Cape Coast (now Ghana). The two meet in London, decide to marry, and she joins him in tropical West Africa. Eight weeks after arriving Letitia dies under suspicious circumstances — what happened

to her? Punishment by Linden MacIntyre follows corrections officer Tony as he retreats home to Nova Scotia after a forced early retirement from Kingston Penitentiary. His past is waiting for him back east, as is the presence of a convict he’d known in Kingston who reminds him that he can’t let go of his present day probNotes lems either. Seconds by Bryan Lee O’Malley is a graphic novel from the author of the Scott Pilgrim series. If you have never read a graphic novel before you might as well start with this one. Katie is a talented chef who has made some mistakes in life. When a magical opportunity presents itself, she is given some second chances — but they will come at a price. That Lonely Section of Hell by Lori Shenher is the author’s personal account of her role as a police detective in Vancouver’s infamous Missing and Murdered Women Investigation and consequently, her years-long

Catherine Coles

struggle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is compassionate, nonexploitative true crime. They Left Us Everything by Plum Johnson is a memoir that follows the author’s time cleaning out her parent’s Lake Ontario mansion after her mother dies. Sifting through their old things leads Johnson to recount decades of family history, treasures and memories. Under the Visible Life by Kim Echlin is told in alternate chapters through the eyes of two women who eventually meet, spanning the years from the 1940s through the 1980s with stops in Pakistan, Hamilton, Montreal and New York. All of these titles are available to reserve in a variety of formats at your branch of the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries or online at www.countylibrary.ca. Read one of more of the Evergreen books and be sure to vote on your favourite come October. Catherine Coles is the Manager of Library Services for L&A County.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 2, 1966

n Eastern Ontario residents were still digging out from a recent blizzard that dumped 30 inches of snow on the region. Weather officials at the Trenton RCAF base said it was the worst winter storm the area had suffered in many years. All municipal public works crews were on the roads trying to clear a path. During the height of the storm, however, roads could become impassable a matter of minutes after being ploughed. Although schools remained open, many students were unable to attend. n The Ontario Water Resources Commission was recommending that a new water pipeline be established between Napanee and Deseronto, at a cost of almost $600,000. The OWRC suggested that both Richmond Township and Tyendinaga Township could access the pipeline as well. The OWRC said the pipeline would be provincially owned, and would start at the Napanee water treatment plant. Further, a pipeline would take water from Lake Ontario, a supply of virtually limitless fresh water.

30 Years Ago January 29, 1986

n Lennox and Addington County would be getting a new $250,000 adult mental health centre, a local Liberal MPP announced. Frontenac-Addington MPP Larry South said that the Ontario Ministry of Health would be providing the funds for the project. The announcement came as a follow-up to a recommendation made by the district health council. L&A County General Hospital would administer the program. The hospital board would appoint a 12-member committee of local citizens to oversee it. It was expected that as many as 600 residents of the county would take advantage of the new centre. n Both Deseronto and Napanee councils were supporting the abandonment of a CN Rail spur line between the two towns. The rail line hadn’t been used in more than five years. The Canadian Transport Commission would be holding a public hearing prior to the rail line being officially shut down. Since there were no businesses or industries along the line that would use the railway, Napanee council unanimously supported its closure. Deseronto, meanwhile, wanted to see it closed because its section had become an eyesore and was taking up space that could be used for future development.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Currently, the way that we calculate taxes for the urban area and the rural area is… it ends up being proportioned 100 per cent (for urban) and 68 per cent (for rural). That’s as simple as it is. We don’t get into individual services. In effect, what we’ve done is we’ve taken all the services and we’ve weighted it 100 per cent and 68 per cent,” Scandlan explained. Davie said even before services can be broken down, boundaries must be set for urban and rural ratepayers. “We know that there’s no connection between the tax areas and the water and sewer areas. We need to find another way of stressing that, either by area or service or perhaps we could do service by ward. There needs to be something other than the water and sewer base,” said Davie. However, rural committee member Robert Marriott argued that with development and growth, boundaries would change, which makes it hard to draw a line today for everyone to follow tomorrow. It was also discussed that each service may require its own boundary. The committee will continue to explore boundaries at future meetings. Scandlan said he discussed with the OPP whether specialized tracking

T H E

would be available, which could include a break down of which areas calls are made from and the level of service required for each call. However, Scandlan was told the OPP’s reports are standardized and specialized reports on a ward by ward, or area by area, basis would not be made available. Davie argued that police “never” patrol his area (Adolphustown) and when a call is made, it can take the police 30-45 minutes to get there. He argued that fire services are also limited in rural communities, saying policing and fire service costs should be lesser in rural areas than in urban. However, urban committee member Leslie Howell argued that it would be “impossible” to bill by response time. He said, not only is the data not available, but it would also be inconsistent – if an officer were patrolling in Adolphustown when a call is made, the response time could be minutes compared to if an officer responds from the police station in the urban core. As for fire services, similar arguments were made on both sides – response time is longer in the rural areas so costs should be lower; but on the other side: once fire services are on scene the level of service is always the same, therefore a tiered tax rate for fire services would not be ideal.

PUBLIC NOTICE!

N A PA N E E

The committee asked Scandlan to report back with more details on OPP and fire services, including a breakdown of what type of services are provided by fire services (car accident, education and safety training, fire, rescue, etc.), and possible allocation methods for costs for fire and OPP services in urban and rural areas. Later in the meeting, the committee discussed roads and winter maintenance. The committee was surprised to learn that road upkeep in rural areas comes at a larger cost than in urban areas. Though Davie argued that road maintenance including snow removal, road sweeping, ditch grass mowing and other upkeep is not done often, or “never” all, in rural areas, Charles McDonald, Greater Napanee Director of Operational Audits and staff liaison on the committee, was quick to correct those remarks. “I have to tell you first hand, the sweeper has been out in the rural areas,” said McDonald. “They do leave town… They are cleaned on a regular basis.” Scandlan was asked by the committee to provide more information on roads and winter maintenance for the next meeting. The next taxation meeting is scheduled for Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. in the council chambers.

Newburgh Canal Bash booked, despite weather

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Though the mercury has climbed above the zero mark a few times this week, Newburgh Canal Bash organizer Rick Doyle says it’s all systems go for the popular event, which takes place Feb. 13. Mild weather has delayed the start of the 23rd annual outdoor extravaganza but guests planning to attend needn’t worry — they won’t be missing any of the Canal Bash fixtures.

looking good.” As always the event will get underway at 8 a.m. with a freewill pancake breakfast, which is run by Mike Fitzpatrick. Proceeds will go towards Newburgh Softball. Following breakfast there will be outdoor skating on the canal, free horse drawn wagon rides from 3-7 p.m., kids crafts and movies at the Community Hall, a bonfire fuelled by Christmas trees and dusk and fireworks at 7 p.m. New this year will be a tyke 4-on-4 hockey tournament for players born in 2008 or younger.

“We’re in great shape,” said Doyle, who founded the event when he turned the canal beside his house into an outdoor skating rink. It has since grown into one of the premiere events in the village, drawing upwards of 1,500 visitors throughout the day. “The 14-day forecast is looking good. We’re going to be below zero every night for the next 14 days. We’ve got lots of ice out there. I haven’t drilled holes recently but there’s got to be eight to 12 inches of ice out there. That won’t deteriorate much with this kind of weather. It’s

“I think we’re going to wind up with six teams,” said Doyle. “That’ll be something new for the kids and we’re expecting it to be a lot of fun.” For lunch there will be all-you-can-eat chili and hot dogs as well as french fries and ‘canal tails’ for sale. Doyle says the food is able to be offered at a low price thanks to many local corporate sponsors. While the temperature projects to be ideal for the festival Doyle says he’d like to push his luck a little more and ask for a bit of snow just ahead of the event. Not only would it cover up much of the muddy grass around the pond, but it also adds to the firework display when the colours are reflected off the snow and trees. Those that have attended the event in previous years will note that it typically takes place near the end of January, not the middle of February as is the case this year. But a late start to the winter season has made things a bit tricky for this year. Even just opening up the outdoor rink was pushed back by about a month, with skaters usually taking to the ice in early December. Doyle says this year they weren’t able to skate until Jan. 5, though since then it has been

The Little Rascals revisited E

was the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. As he heard complaints from two of his peers about bullying, he smashed his gavel on the desk, and issued orders to deal with the culprits. Darla Hood was the main femme fatale in the series. She too enjoyed her debut as a four-year-old. Even then her flirtatious demeanor shone through. She melted the hearts of more than one of the male cast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but especially that of Alfalfa. A trained dancer and singer, she shone when the gang presented musicals for the neighbourhood kids. One of her more memorable performances, when

barely old enough to pronounce the words of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never say never again,â&#x20AC;? she appeared in a mini majorette costume, dancing and smiting the heart of Butch with her creamy voice. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Buckwheatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thomas was Roachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daring attempt to integrate African Americans into the mix. Originally cast as a girl, with ponytail and rags for curlers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sheâ&#x20AC;? morphed into a boy. A later addition, also an African American, was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stymieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose trademark was his ever-present derby hat, which covered a bald head.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Alfalfaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Switzer rounded out the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big fourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the Little Rascals troupe. He was unintentionally the focal point when Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law prevailed. His rooster tail hair-do, plus a generous batch of freckles, capped off his distinctive appearance. He was the resident fall guy, the brunt of tricks and bad luck, often ending up with the proverbial egg on his face â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sometimes literally. His singing voice was appalling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; off key and screeching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it was not uncommon for him to be the recipient of the rotten tomato treatment which poor performers receive.

The venues of the gangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventures varied, but normally portrayed in one of three scenes. The clubhouse (where Spanky held sway) was one. Gokart competitions, perfect for their bumbling attempts at racing, was another. But on-stage productions was a favourite, where Darlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet melody contrasted with Alfalfaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caterwauling. In one episode, as the gang were giving their own â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;premiereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, having been run off from the Hollywood version, Alfalfa was sounding forth, when a hen dropped an egg from the loft of their

barn/theatre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which ended up in his wide open mouth. Recovering, he continued to croon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after each breath a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cheep cheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sounding forth. The grand finale featured a new born chick flying out of his mouth and continuing its own serenade. The Little Rascals were popular reruns on TV in the 1990s, their contagious humour tickling the fancies of viewers of all ages. Two movie specials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mischief Loves Company in 1994, and The Little Rascals Save the Day in 2004 proved that their own brand of slapstick never loses its popularity.

Chubby and short, he nevertheless took charge in almost every situation. First introduced when he was three years old, his shtick was then to punch adults in the nose â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like when a photographer sought to pose him for a portrait. Deceivingly babyfaced, he nevertheless had an authoritative air about him, and just naturally ruled and reigned. When their famous clubhouse was set up for a junior court, he

VEN though the introduction of the Little Rascals (or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our Gangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) takes us back to the year 1921, when the motion picture industry was still in its infancy, the efforts of Hal Roach to produce the series smacks of nothing short of pure genius. As one reviewer put it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;While child actors are often groomed to imitate adult acting styles or to deliver â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performancesâ&#x20AC;Ś Roach and Robert McGowan showed children behaving in relatively natural ways!â&#x20AC;? His brilliant casting utilized some kids who were so young they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even read a script if it had been handed to them. McGowan coached them on the particulars of the current scene, then directed them with a megaphone as the action unfolded (a tactic which had to be changed when he went to sound after eight years of silent film) The series ran for more than two decades, utilizing some 40 child actors. As one child grew too old to play the part, he replaced him or her with

Factors To Consider When Choosing A Neighbourhood MCC - When shopping for a home, it’s easy for buyers to fall in love with a property. A well-maintained home with updated features can be hard to resist, but buyers must consider more than just a home’s appearance before submitting an oﬀer. One variable prospective home buyers tend to value more highly than others is the neighbourhood where they will ultimately choose to live. Many buyers even value neighbourhoods more than homes, feeling they can always fix a home but cannot necessarily fix an undesirable neighbourhood. When considering which neighbourhood to begin a home search, buyers should research a host of factors. Crime Crime statistics are public domain, meaning buyers can examine crime figures for any neighbourhood where they are considering buying a home. Some real estate websites list neighbourhood crime ratings among the information they oﬀer about a given property. In addition, buyers interested in learning about crime in a given

neighbourhood can visit a site such as CrimeReports.com to access data on crimes committed near a particular address. Home values Home values are another factor to consider when choosing a neighbourhood in which to buy a home. Buyers can work with a local realtor to find a neighbourhood or area where real estate prices are trending upwards. While buyers might be able to find a great deal on a home in a neighbourhood where home prices are dropping, it’s important to remember those home prices are dropping for a reason. Work with your realtor to find a neighbourhood where you can aﬀord a home and where property values are not in decline. Realtors will have access to recent sales figures so you can get an idea of whether a neighbourhood is trending upward or in decline. Amenities The proximity of amenities such as shopping, restaurants and parks is attractive to many buyers, and that’s something all buyers should consider before buying a

home. Even if you prefer a home in a remote location, that could limit your market of buyers when you want to sell the home down the road. While your own comfort and preferences should ultimately prevail over potential resale value, it’s important that you at least consider access to ameni-

ties before making a decision. You might be able to find a compromise in a home that is a short drive away from a town center, but still remote enough that you are not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Commute Quality of life is heavily influenced by commute time.

Many men and women feel their quality of life improves dramatically the shorter their daily commute is. When considering a particular neighbourhood, do a test run before making an oﬀer on a home. Wake up early and drive to the area where you are thinking of buying, and then commute

from there during rush hour. Also, do the reverse commute come quitting time. You might be able to get an estimated commute time online, but a test run can give you a more accurate idea of what your daily trips to and from the oﬃce will be like. Choosing a neighbourhood

A review of Bohemian design Designing your room in a bohemian style might be exactly what your heart calls for when you no longer want to play by the rules with a particular design style. Bohemian decorating is for those who want their homes full of life, culture and interesting items for all the world to see. It flies in the face of modern sensibilities and embraces the carefree, the relaxed and the unusual. Some may wonder what ‘bohemian’ style is. Although

it embraces a sense of flowing liberty in décor choices and can be associated with eclectic style, bohemian style is more than that. Besides being a geographic reference to the region of Bohemia in the Czech Republic, the word ‘bohemian’ harkens to the French term for ‘gypsy’, and it applies to those who live unconventional (usually artistic) lives. Someone or something that has a bohemian style typically evokes a picture of travelers,

hippies, artists and other ‘free spirits.’ I love this style myself, but I’m also one who likes order and have to pass on this style. But if you’re inherently drawn to free expression, unconventional displays, and colourful collections, this style may work for you! When applying a bohemian interior design, you are engaging in a design that is meant to break the rules and adhere to your

Campsite Designation, Elzevir Peatlands Conservation Reserve at Deerock Lake

Public Notice for Category B Project Evaluations The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) invites public comment on a proposal to designate campsites along the shoreline of Deerock Lake within Elzevir Peatlands Conservation Reserve. The Conservation Reserve is 2336 hectares of Crown Land, located approximately 30 km north of the Village of Tweed. The Conservation Reserve, designated as such in 2003, lies within both Lennox and Addington and Hastings Counties. Shortly after designation, MNRF prepared a Statement of Conservation Interest which indicated future management of camping at the site was recommended. The proposed designation of campsites would provide camping opportunities at Deerock Lake, while reducing the environmental concerns regarding garbage and human waste. The designation of campsites would also prohibit camping on sensitive islands that cannot sustain unregulated camping. Camping will continue to be allowed on designated sites along the shorelines and larger islands. Designating campsites would involve posting numerical signs at each approved campsite to be identified on a map posted at the boat launch and access point maintained by Quinte Conservation. MNRF is also considering the future installation of privies at each designated site to provide enhanced sanitary human waste disposal. Campsite designation would occur during the winter and spring of 2016. While some campsite locations would be closed, designation of remaining sites would mitigate these impacts by ensuring camping opportunities exist on Deerock Lake at sustainable locations. Comments must be received within the 30-day comment period, which expires on March 4, 2016. The designation of campsites and installation of privies are being evaluated as a Category B project under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves. A Notice of Completion will be sent to those who submit comments or request further notice when project evaluation is finished. MNRF may proceed to implement each project without issuing a further general notice.

own way of decoratingwhich makes this design style a very easy one to accomplish. There are no rules when it comes to bohemian decorating, yet warm earthy colours are quite common, as are metallic. Think brown, terra cotta, gold and other colours in that family. Jewel tones like saturated purple, fiery orange and electric blue often make appearances in accessories like tapestries and art. The key to using colour in bohemian decorating is to think warm. White has no place in a bohemian room. Be sure to mix lots of patterns and don’t be afraid to use colours that wouldn’t necessarily go together in a conventional way. Fill every space with an eye toward variety and diversity in colour and form, choose objects that you love and use them to fill every visual and physical spot in the space. Think outside the box in layout, and think of each plane as an open book for you to fill. Think of art, books, furniture, fabrics, pillows, sculptures, plants, lamps or whatever you love. Less is less. More is more. As if to pack a space with as much personality as possible, bohemian style encourages a sense of stuffed-to-thebrim. This mimics a feeling of overflowing with life, in a sense. A bohemian interior should appear busy, almost chaotic, and yet confident and happy in its fullness.

Cover the walls with beloved items, fill surfaces with textiles and colour, and then layer, then layer again. Remember you’re trying to create a cozy space full of life and a sense of the welltravelled, well-lived person. The key to using materials is to mix and match. Use

Merola Tahamtan

Design Time materials like burlap and sisal and mix them with silk and chenilles. The materials should have a slightly worn look. Furniture can’t be bought in just any store. Bohemian rooms tend to be full of furniture collected over time. Second hand and vintage items are right at home in these rooms. Shapes and sizes aren’t nearly as important as they are in other interior styles. Each piece should be special and tell a story no matter what it looks like. No one

should be able to walk in to a bohemian room and be able to tell you where you got the furniture. The most common type of furniture you’ll find in bohemian rooms is Victorian in nature. Think chaises and fainting sofas in saturated colours with dark carved wood frames. Be creative in the use of your furniture, bring in rich, vivid colours of any hue, and go bold with any patterns you happen to love. Throw in photos of your family or vacation spots. You don’t need to edit your life or loves in a bohemian space- the style itself embraces it all. Soft lighting creates a special, comforting atmosphere. This is a key element to show your treasures’ best face in the space. Lighting options that hover around the sense of serenity provide an excellent contrast to the near — chaos that is everywhere else in your free-spirited bohemian space. The main thing to remember in bohemian interiors are there are no rules. A bohemian interior décor is characterized as casual, a bit unconventional and infused with artistic elements. It’s a really interesting style but not one that suits many. Merola Tahamtan is an Interior Stylist in Home & Business Design, Home Staging, Painting, Organization and Window Treatments.

Raiders pummel Pirates to halt losing skid Napanee on the verge of locking down second seed

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

ormidable work from their special teams unit fuelled the Napanee Raiders as they cooled off the red hot Picton Pirates, winning 7-3 at home Tuesday night. Napanee converted on three of seven power-plays and once short-handed to claim victory, stopping their mini two game losing streak while handing Picton just their second loss in their last six. “That team’s playing really well, they’ve won a lot of games and they’re fighting for a playoff spot,” Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick said of the Pirates. “It was good for us to stand up to them. We got some offensive production by putting (Jordan) Cannons back with Hindsy (Cullen Hinds) and Bou (Austin Boulard). It was nice to see that line erupt and other guys contributed as well.” Despite not playing for a week prior to Tuesday’s game, the Raiders turned in a decent first period, firing 13 shots on net compared to 14 by the visitors. Napanee was left empty handed however while Picton’s Mitch Thompson put his team up 1-0 midway through the first. By the second the Raiders hit their stride, scoring three times in the opening 10 minutes. Hinds tied the game at the five minute mark while Brodie Butt and Cannons potted goals less than two minutes apart. Both goals came on an extended power-play as Picton’s Devin McCann picked up a roughing and a high sticking infraction on the same play. Picton’s Nick Devito broke the string of Raider goals with the first of two he'd score on the night, but it was quickly offset by a slap shot goal from Aidan McFarland just over a minute later. “We went to the net a little better after the first,” said Hartwick. “We had a lot of better looks. You have to get in to score and I think three of the four (goals in the second period) were right in the blue paint and

Britt Benn, seen here with her Pan Am gold medal, is up for one of Kingston’s top amateur awards.

Britt Benn named Gus Marker Trophy finalist Winner to be announced tonight Beaver Sports

Napanee’s Brit Benn made the short list for the Kingston Kiwanis Club’s 2015 amateur athlete of the year award, known as the Gus Marker Trophy, which will be announced this evening. Benn, who hopes to suit up for Canada’s rugby sevens team at the Olympic games this summer, is among 14 area athletes who made the short list. Last year’s winner was Bath golfer Augusta James, who last year joined the professional ranks. Previous notable winners include NHL player Alyn McCauley (1996), women’s hockey Olympic gold medalist Jayne Hefford (1997) and triathlete Simon Whitfield (2000). As part of her preparations for the games, Benn spent two weeks in San Diego last month, training with the Canadian national team, focusing on speed, skills and conditioning. “The San Diego camp, as it has for the past three seasons, provided us with the opportunity to get the entire team and staff away together to spend more time with each other than we would normally have in our daily

training environment,” head coach John Tait said on Team Canada’s website. “We had scrimmages against a World Series opponent in the USA and played and trained in weather and field conditions a lot more similar to our next series stop in Brazil. We focused on improving areas we’ve identified post Dubai and integrating several athletes returning from injuries that weren’t part of that competition.” Canada has played one game of their 2015-16 HSBC Women’s Seven Series season thus far, placing sixth in a tournament held in Dubai in December. Their next stop on the series will be Feb. 20-21 in Sao Paula, Brazil. They will play on home soil April 16-17 in Langford, B.C. Benn will hope to impress the coaches throughout the series as she looked to cement her spot on the Olympic roster when Canada sends its best to Rio in early August. This year will mark the first time the games have included a sevens rugby tournament. Benn is coming off a banner year, having helped Canada to goldin Toronto at the Pan Am games.

Regardless if it’s the power-play or five-on-five, you have to go where you're going to score goals and that’s in tight. A lot of times it comes off rebounds and we did a lot of that in the second.”

“That team’s playing really well, they’ve won a lot of games and they’re fighting for a playoff spot. It was good for us to stand up to them.” Mike Hartwick, Raiders head coach Devito scored a minute into the third to make things interesting but the Raiders were able to hold off any late comeback attempts thanks to a pair of goals from Boulard, one shorthanded and the other into an empty net. Those goals were sandwiched around a power-play tally from Cannons. Cam Parr earned the win, stopping 34 of 37. He’s

now 15-6-3-2 on the season with a 2.84 GAA. With the victory the Raiders are now 22-11-4 on the season, with three games left to play. They have now opened up a seven point lead (48-41) over the third place Amherstview Jets and need just one point or a Jets loss to officially secure the second seed. The Jets put themselves in the must-win situation after they dropped both their games last week, losing 5-3 in Picton on Thursday before getting thumped 10-3 by the Port Hope Panthers at home on Sunday. The 1914-3 Jets have four games left to play on the season. Napanee will look to officially sew up home ice for their first round playoff meeting against the Jets when they head to Port Hope this Saturday to face the league’s best team. “It’s a real good test to go there and try to figure them out,” Hartwick said of the Panthers, who have defeated the Raiders in six of seven meetings this season. “We need to have the confidence and belief in what we’re doing and we’ll be fine. It’s going to be tough, that’s for sure.”

On Tuesday the Raiders will host the Gananoque Islanders in their final regular season home game, starting at 7:30 p.m. They’ll then close out the regular season a week from today when they travel to Picton for a road game against the Pirates. As for the rest of the standings, Port Hope continues to lead the way at 314-1, good for 63 points. Meanwhile at the bottom of the standings the Pirates have made things a little interesting after their hot streak. They have now leapfrogged the Campbellford Rebels to move into the fifth spot and trail the fourth seed (and final playoff spot holding) Gananoque Islanders by five points (2621). They will still require a minor miracle if they’re to get into the playoffs however, as they have just five games left to chase down the Islanders, who have four left to pad their lead. The Rebels meanwhile, with 19 points and two games left to play, have been officially eliminated. This marks the first time since the 2009-10 season the Rebels have failed to make the Empire B League playoffs.

OFA: Three things we want to see in the provincial budget

By Drew Spoelstra, Director, Ontario Federation of Agriculture - January 22, 2016 When the anticipated 2016 Ontario Budget is delivered this spring, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) will be watching closely to see the items included that impact Ontario’s agri-food sector. As part of our advocacy role, OFA annually submits budget recommendations to Ontario’s Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs, advising government on areas of much-needed investment. OFA’s 2016 budget recommendations support the Premier’s agri-food growth challenge – to double our annual growth rate and create 120,000 new jobs by 2020. This ambitious goal requires collaboration between government and industry. OFA has identified three key issues that impact Ontario’s agricultural industry and farm businesses communities that must be considered before the budget is delivered. 1. Invest in rural infrastructure. Rural Ontario requires the

expansion of natural gas infrastructure. Access to natural gas will lower business costs on farms and throughout rural Ontario. OFA believes natural gas is the best infrastructure investment that can be made to support the agri-food sector and rural communities across the province. 2. Support farm business success. Agriculture depends on energy and we need a farm/industrial electricity rate to remain competitive in our national and global markets, and continue to grow our farm businesses. 3. Take action on climate change. Ontario needs to establish a Cap and Trade System that acknowledges the carbon offsets that the agricultural industry offers. And we must recognize the efforts that farmers have made and are continuing to make to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. OFA’s full budgetary submission includes detailed recommendations and support for each issue. Addressing these initiatives in the upcoming provincial budget will put Ontario’s agri-

food sector in a winning position to help achieve the Premier’s challenge for growth. Read the OFA’s full submission at www.ofa.on.ca

Greater Napanee

Council considers creating off-leash dog park Staff Reporter

Preliminary discussion of a municipal off-leash dog park took place at a Greater Napanee council meeting last week and will continue later this month. Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas said he has received complaints and comments from residents regarding dogs being offleash. He said council should address the issue and make Greater Napanee a more dog-friendly community, while also making it friendlier to others using parks and recreation spaces.

“I think this poses a bigger problem and an opportunity; we’ve talked in the past about dog parks and I think the time has come that probably the municipality, like most municipalities, should identify a park or area for dogs to run free. This seems to be a rule of thumb for a lot of municipalities,” said Lucas. “I personally think it’s time that we need to consider that because that would reduce bylaw enforcement, that would give no excuse for people having their dogs off leashes, I think it would be a better controlled environment and an incentive for people who come here to know they have a place to

walk their dog,” Lucas added. Later in the meeting Lucas moved a notice of motion regarding municipal dog parks. His motion calls for a staff report, an ad hoc committee, public meeting, public committee made up of volunteers, and to develop a budget and determine land available for such a development. The motion also read that a recommendation and report be presented to council before Sept. 1. Lucas’s notice of motion will be brought to council for discussion at the next regular council meeting, which is scheduled for this coming Tuesday.

LCT stages classic Neil Simon comedy BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A play crafted by of one of theatre’s most famous playwrights, Neil Simon, will be coming to life at the Lennox Community Theatre this month. The Sunshine Boys will premiere in Selby on Feb. 12 will continue with evening and matinee shows until Feb. 27. Local playwright Carl Cashin is directing the play and has had much success in the 20 years he has been writing plays. He has published multiple plays through the Eastern Ontario Drama League and won Best New Canadian Play in 2001. “Neil Simon has always been my favourite playwright. I have always enjoyed his plays and I’ve never had a chance to direct one of them,” said Cashin. “I just love his humour.” Simon said he once had the opportunity to interview Simon after reading a book Simon wrote on playwriting. “One of his favourite remarks was that he always loved to put one of his very best jokes in the first two minutes

of the play and that loosens up the audience, they laugh, and when the cast hears the audience laugh, it loosens them up and the play goes much smoother. I always loved that quote from him,” said Cashin. While directing Simon’s The Sunshine Boys, Cashin has made sure to pay close attention to humour and says it’s a cheerful performance that will have you laughing from beginning to end. “It’s lighthearted comedy with a great storyline; engaging right from the outset. It is very quick, and it should have audiences splitting their sides,” said Andy Palmer, who plays Willie Clark, one of the main characters in The Sunshine Boys. It’s about two odd comedians “who had a very long run at the top of the list of comics. At the end of their run, had a very acrimonious parting,” said Palmer. “Both of the characters have not had great success since splitting up but each of them think that’s the other person’s problem.” After 11 years apart, the two comedians are brought together by a CBS production looking to highlight America’s top comedians. The catch: the

two must be willing to set aside their differences long enough to get together to do the show. “The play is all about the events surrounding them trying to get back together, trying to see whether they can put this sketch on, put their differences aside, and whether they do or whether they don’t,” Palmer explained.
